"Midorya!" Iida anxiously called.
"Stay back, it's not safe." Izuku moved his hand in a protective motion.
[Hero Aura activated]
Izuku slowly turned to him, keeping his focus on the villains.
"Iida, run and bring back All Might."
"A-ah? B-but Midorya I have to prote-"
DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM
"Now."
"Y-YES!" Iida dashed with speed towards the gate, he didn't even look back.
No way, the class president was being terrifying. If Iida was asked, he would say that current Midorya is scarier than the villains.
The entire class tensed, Izuku is acting different, they all could feel it, he is unstable.
"Midorya..." Ashido muttered weakly.
The other students looked in worry.
Bakugo stared speechlessly 'What happened to him? This is not normal...'
Izuku who knew that Kurogiri would try to stop Iida, turned to look at the villains with murderous intentions.
"Try. I dare you!!"
DUM DUM DUMDUMDUMDUMDUMDUM!DUM!DUM!
"Kurogiriii!!!" Tomura who felt the full power of Izuku's combined malice, King Engine and the weakening effect of Hero Aura screamed in fear hysterically.
"Yes!" Kurogiri opened multiple portals below the students and Izuku, he had to let them reciprocate, he wanted to create a distance and send the Nomu after the green kid.
No way, what kind of monster is that green kid? where is All Might? what happened to the Nomu? why is the kid so scary?
If they can't handle this green kid, then how can they handle All Might himself?
What if the two worked together? the plan is already in shambles, the green kid is an unanticipated variable.
Regardless, Kurogiri just wanted to send the green menace away to calm Shigaraki Tomura first then directly run with everyone.
Yet would Izuku let them? Would Izuku give them time to strengthen themselves and have the advantage of control?
No. This wasn't a simple show anymore, not for him.
Feeling his Danger Sense flare up, Izuku jumped and used Float, he looked down with his Sharingan and saw a portal opening slowly and leading to a flooded zone.
Izuku smirked maliciously.
'So, you want to kill me?'
'When you point with your gun...you better be ready to face retaliation!'
He grabbed his staff and turned it into one piece mode, he directly activated OFA and threw the staff down with full speed at 50%, Izuku ignored the throbbing painful sensation of his hand.
He could handle 30% but 50% hurt like hell, it was beyond his understanding how the original Izuku punched with 100% all the time.
'That kid must've hated himself or had insane pain tolerance, this hurts as hell!'
It is worth mentioning that Izuku's 50% is not something comparable to the original's 50% so such a heavy drawback is understandable.
Stamina III and Speed III played a vital role in his rapid improvement, but it also strengthened OFA's overall accumulative power, with faster speeds and tireless efforts, he was simply a walking natural disaster but that remains to be seen in the future.
Coupled with the 20% boost of Hero Aura and King Engine, the staff practically teleported from his hand and landed at the bottom of the lake like a meteorite, it dug very deeply into the earth and cracked the structure bellow.
The earth rumbled violently and not even a second later, the lake's water began to part like the red sea, almost instantaneously the water exploded outwards like a raging volcano.
The villains inside the water had passed out from the sheer sound bomb that occured inside the bottom of the huge lake.
Sound moves at an extremely fast speed inside water, it differs from land, sound moved through the water as a medium and the intensity of the vibrations directly killed any fish inside the lake and pushed the villains out like ragdolls.
It was a scene that resembled a cosmic natural disaster, a meteorite.
As the students began to fall in multiple portals, they saw below them different areas, fire lands, ruins, swamps, dessert, etc...
Izuku watched as Shinso and Tsui fell into the flooded zone, luckily, he handled everything fast, so he wasn't worried about their safety.
As for the others? they will survive 100%, Izuku trusted Uraraka and all his friends.
No way, anyone trying to fight Uraraka will be hit with a freaking giant floating rock, if not then she could simply throw some pebbles at them without gravity then cancel it, they would shoot out like a bullet.
Uraraka's quirk was a classic strong potential quirk with a weak or soft user.
She didn't even master it fully yet; she could only remove the weight of an object only by touch.
Izuku imagined Uraraka as a villainess, she only needed to touch you, lift you high and drop you to your death.
One touch, just like Tomura Shigaraki, one touch and you're out.
You can be the strongest human outside but inside you're a mere human, fragile. The organs inside the body simply can't tolerate too much damage.
Izuku was smart enough to understand that the sound wave from his last attack must've turned the brains of the villains off, maybe permanently.
No way, that explosion must've created a biological hazard.
Yet, Izuku didn't know, nor did he care about the consequences of his actions, only the descending figure of Shinso and Tsui knew what truly happened.
They watched as the lake exploded out of nowhere, the water evaporated instantly, and multiple shark-like figures shot out of the lake, all of them unconscious and bleeding from their ears and eyes
The two landed softly on the ground with the help of Tsui as she used her very long strong tongue to slow their fall.
They looked at each other, then at the massive crater inside the lake that was slowly getting filled with water from the rain.
"What the hell just happened?!" x2
---
"Why is he not falling?! Why the hell is he not falling!!" Tomura Shigaraki pointed at Izuku who hovered above the gate, his hand was shaking.
He turned and lost all his colors as he saw the figure of Izuku rocking his fist back and aiming at Kurogiri's neck, black tendrils from his back wiggled ominously.
The green figure looked like a vengeful demon with black wings.
'He can teleport too?!?!'
With a mighty punch, Kurogiri's figure flew back with speed, direct attacks won't harm him much, but the wind pressure alone was enough to damage his form.
Tomura Shigaraki was thrown back from the wind pressure.
And Izuku who had meta-knowledge knew that very well, he simply can't allow Kurogiri to harm Thirteen.
'Go to sleep for now.'
"Midorya, fall back immediately!" Aizawa was restless.
'That explosive strength must come at a huge cost...! He'll run out of stamina before the fight is over...!'
"Midorya!" The startled voice of Thirteen was loud and clear, she didn't have time to even react, one second a black beast attacked Midorya and the next second the students disappeared, she was panicking but tried her best to remain composed, she was a pro hero but she didn't specialize in direct combat.
"You two handle the rest, I'll deal with those three guys." Izuku turned to Tomura, he approached him slowly.
Kurogiri was knocked out, the Nomu was getting up slowly, Izuku has practically pulverized his insides, the regeneration worked overtime to keep the living corpse alive.
Izuku knew where to hit that thing, he knew that the Nomu's weakness must be penetrative force as he could easily absorb the blunt force so he attacked with the edge of his staff and broke a giant hole in its heart.
How does regeneration work? Simple. It accelerated the process of healing greatly. How? Simply by using the blood cells to heal the body quickly. How? By letting them travel through the veins. from where? The heart.
Then just aim for the heart and the entire process will slow down slightly, Izuku had enough basic medical knowledge to know that much.
Tomura Shigaraki felt utter fear, the guy he was facing seemed larger and larger the more he approached him, he felt weaker and the pressure made him hyperventilate.
He screamed and ran at Izuku, his hand extended to touch him with his five fingers.
Izuku simply blocked his weak attack with his hand.
"Haha, fool! With my cheat plugin no last boss can survive me!!" Tomura's expression was absolutely thrilled, he smirked in excitement.
Yet...
The scene of the decaying and dying figure of the Green headed teen didn't appear.
Tomura looked down and saw the hand he had touched was covered in a black, weird tendrils that wiggled and danced on his skin.
Izuku simply stared at him with his crimson red eyes.
Like a bug.
"Last boss...? you think this is a game?" Izuku calmly muttered as he peered down directly at his eyes and casted an illusion on him.
Shigaraki broke in cold sweat as his figure kept flickering to that of a demon.
Izuku wanted to plant a seed of fear. Fear so overwhelming that Shigaraki Tomura simply wouldn't cross him again.
DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM
"I'll skin you alive."
"Y-YOU MONSTER! CHEATER! YOU'RE NOT A HERO!" Tomura's expression was indignant and horrified.
Izuku cocked his hand back "No... I'm your Nightmare."
'OFA 10%'
'NO! His body won't be capable of tolerating it, he will die from internal bleeding!' Nana's voice anxiously spoke.
'Tsk, fine, just because it's you who's asking.'
' 5%'
Izuku Punched Tomura's stomach harshly, the boy fell to the ground and puked his breakfast before passing out.
Izuku sighed.
'One day, I'll try to help you, Tomura Shigaraki. But for now, I can't afford such a luxury.'
'It's coming again, Shishido.'
Banjo spoke calmly, he and the other past users formed a circle around Izuku, they observed everything from all directions.
Izuku turned his head and looked at the approaching Nomu, it was running at him full force.
Danger Sense didn't pick up anything, the Nomu didn't have malicious intentions after all, it simply obeyed it's master's will, it couldn't generate negative thoughts at all.
And it's master's last wish was his death.
Tomura Shigaraki had ordered it to kill Izuku.
'OFA 30%'
Izuku lowered the output, his hand still hurts from last time, he didn't want to push himself too much, he has King Engine and Hero Aura boosting him so why go overboard?
A staff appeared into his hand again.
'This thing is meant to counter All Might,' Izuku thought to himself, his crimson Sharingan spun ominously, tracking the Nomu's every muscle twitch.
Speed III enhanced his reflexes, his perception sharpened to a razor's edge.
The Nomu launched itself forward with terrifying speed, claws outstretched towards Izuku's eyes.
Izuku's instincts kicked in. He whipped Playful Cloud outward, the three sections snapping apart in a fluid motion. The staff extended mid-swing, its chain lengthened to slam into the Nomu's torso like a wrecking ball.
The impact reverberated through the area, forcing the Nomu to fly back again.
"Not bad," Izuku thought, spinning the staff in his hands with a flourish. "But this thing's regeneration won't make it easy." He jumped after it.

Smoke hung heavy in the air, and the acrid scent of burning metal filled Kirishima's lungs as he parried a villain's attack.
Beside him, Bakugo was a relentless storm, detonations erupting from his palms as he fought with a ferocity that bordered on desperation.
"Kirishima, don't slow me down!" Bakugo barked, sweat streaming down his face as he blasted another villain into the wall, cracking it.
Kirishima hardened his arms and blocked a flying kick from another assailant. "I'm not slowing you down, bro! But we've got to stick together. No point if we get separated!"
Bakugo didn't respond immediately. His red eyes flicked towards the center of the U.S.J, where the Nomu had clashed with Izuku.
Though the smoke obscured his vision, he could feel the vibrations of the battle through the ground—a battle that he was fighting alone.
"Damn it, Deku," Bakugo growled under his breath, his teeth grinding. His usual confidence was tinged with something rare: anxiety.
What will he tell his mom? His aunt?
Himself?
'I don't need to rely on anyone!'
Kirishima noticed his expression. "You worried about Midorya? He's strong, man. You heard what he did with that Zero Pointer!"
Bakugo didn't look at him, instead releasing another explosive wave to knock back a group of villains trying to corner them. "Shut up! I'm not worried about him! That idiot's gonna screw this up if we don't get back there!" His voice cracked slightly, betraying his real thoughts.
Although Katsuki was an intolerable person, he wasn't a bad person. He didn't wish for Izuku to die.
Kirishima grinned despite the situation. "You care more than you let on, don't you? Man, you're full of surprises."
"Shut your mouth, you red bastard!" Bakugo snapped, his palms sparking again. "I don't care about that dumb nerd. I just don't want him stealing the spotlight!"
A larger villain lumbered towards Bakugo, wielding what looked like a steel pipe. "You kids should've run while you had the chance!" the villain sneered, swinging the weapon with brutal force.
Kirishima stepped forward, his skin hardening to an almost metallic sheen. The pipe struck his arm with a loud clang, pushing him back.
"You'll have to do better than that!" he shouted, countering with a hardened punch that the villain blocked.
Bakugo took advantage of the opening, leaping forward and unleashing a massive explosion. The blast sent several smaller villains flying, clearing their immediate path.
"Out of the way you damn extras!" he yelled, his voice strained. 'If that freak beast doesn't kill Deku, that warp bastard might kidnap him instead!'
"Let's go!"
Kirishima's expression grew serious. "Then let's finish this quick. You take the lead. I've got your back."
