Issue #8: Villains All-Out Attack
No one could believe what was happening. As the students gathered together, they stared nervously at the hundreds of villains that were coming out of the portal. Wade was tense with his mask on.
"The only real Heroes I see are Thirteen and Eraser Head." The guy covered in mist said, Kurogiri, forming a head with a pair of yellow eyes. "Perplexing. According to the schedule we retrieved from U.A., All Might should be here as well."
"So, you scumbags used the press as a cover and sneak into the campus," Aizawa shouted at whoever was in charge of the villains. The army before them was walking towards the stairs.
"Where is he?" The villain asked with the hands on his body, as the misty figure that was the portal and the bird monster stood next to him. This was Tomura Shigaraki. But Wade didn't know that, and was about to just call him 'Grabby.' "I went through the trouble of bringing so many friends who are eager to meet him. They want All Might. The great 'Symbol of Peace.' I can't believe he's not here. Maybe if I kill a few kids, he'll come out to play."
Aizawa's long black hair stood and flared up as his scarf came undone. Making it expand and float a little in the air. Thirteen stood in front of the kids with an arm out in a protective manner. Wade gulped down the lump in his throat.
He knew what the Pro Heroes were really up against. He's seen them when he watched a news broadcast of a fight between villains and Heroes. When that Sludge Villain was going to take over his body, killed his father, and tried to use Bakugo as a vessel for his own evil intent. This was the darkness they faced to keep the people safe.
As the students of Class 1-A looked at those villains, pure evil stared right back at them.
"What? Real villains?" Kirishima asked in disbelief. "No way. How could so many of them get into a U.A. facility this secure?"
"It's because they came here through that portal," Wade said. "But even so. There should be some kind of alarm going off, right?"
"Yeah." Momo walked up and asked Thirteen, "Thirteen? Why aren't the alarms going off?
Thirteen looked up at the ceiling. "Good question. I'm not sure." The space Hero said, sounding puzzled.
"Is the entire campus under attack?" Todoroki asked, chiming into the conversation. "Or is this their only target? Either way, if the alarm sensors aren't being triggered, then one of these villains must have a Quirk that's masking their presence here? They carefully chose this isolated facility as an entry point at a time when a class is being taught. They're fools for trespassing here." Todoroki narrowed his eyes, as there was one thing that was still troubling him. "But they thought this out. Whatever their plan is, they must have a concrete objective in mind. But what is it?"
Most of the students were shocked by Todoroki's analysis, each had scared expressions. Wade was thinking the same thing as the white-and-red-haired boy, but he heard what Tomura said. Was he trying to get to All Might?
Aizawa turned back and yelled to Thirteen. "Thirteen. Get them out of here! And alert the main campus. If they got the ability to block our sensors, then they might be jamming our regular communications too." He said and then turned to Kaminari. "Kaminari, try using your Quirk to contact the school."
"Y-Yessir." Kaminari placed a hand on the headset on his right ear.
"Wait, you can't seriously be thinking about fighting them on your own!" Wade said to Aizawa with a worried expression behind his mask. "Even if you're able to nullify their Quirks, there's too many of them and you're a stealth Hero. You can handle a one-on-one fight, not a whole…"
"You can't be a Pro if you only have one trick. You should know this, Walker." Aizawa said as Wade gasped. The teacher then turned again to Thirteen. "I'll leave it to you, Thirteen." The person in the spacesuit nodded.
With that done, Aizawa leaped into action. Literary, he jumped high into the air and fell down the stairs. Going straight from the villains.
"Range squad! Let's move!" One of the villains yelled with guns for figures. Like his Quirk allows him to fire bullets from his fingers. Not have actual pistols and rifles attached to his fingers.
"Didn't our intel say it was just going to be Thirteen and All Might out here? Who's that?" A female villain with snake hair asked.
"Don't recognize him." Said an overweight, green-skinned villain with a pig-looking gas mask. Aizawa held his scarf in both hands as he rushed towards the horde. "But if he thinks he can take us down easily, he's dead!"
"Let's gun him down!" The three villains shouted and aimed straight at the teacher of Class 1-A. Confident that they'll take him down with ease. But Aizawa activated his Quirk and erased their Quirks.
From where he stood, Wade watched as the three villains were left defenseless as Aizawa wrapped his scarf around them and slammed them into each other, knocking them out. One of the villains surrounding him recognized Aizawa and knew that he was Eraserhead and knew that the man's Quirk was to cancel a Quirk. That's when a villain with a heteromorphic type Quirk charged, confident that he was safe with his body being mutated by his powers. Aizawa confirmed that, but it was only if his hits could reach him. After dodging some punches, the teacher uppercut the villain, sending him flying in the air, before dodging an attack behind him. He wrapped his scarf around the heteromorphic type and slammed him into his comrades.
"There he goes, trying to intimidate us," Tomura said. It surprised Wade that he could hear what he was saying with that freaky hand mask on. "He is strong and since he's hiding behind those goggles, you can't tell what Quirk he's erasing. He's making it hard for us to work together or rely on each other's powers." As the blue-haired man watched the fighting, he started scratching an area on his neck that wasn't covered up by a hand. "How annoying. The worst thing about dealing with Pro's is when they live up to all their hype."
"He's actually holding them off," Wade said with an impressed expression under his mask. Guess he shouldn't have underestimated him. However, behind him, his classmates were already running with Thirteen to escape the U.S.J.
Momo looked back and saw Wade still watching the fight. She ran over and grabbed his arm with her hand. Snapping him out of his state as he turned his head to her. "C'mon, Wade! We've gotta get out of here!"
Iida stopped and looked over his shoulder at the Spider-Man. "She's right! Don't worry about Mr. Aizawa! He can handle it! We must evacuate!" Wade nodded and ran to catch up with the others. They all ran the long path towards the exit.
But then, Kurogiri's black mist formed in front of them on the floor between them and the exit. Thirteen gasped and stopped, as well as the students. "What the hell kind of Quirk does he have?" Wade asked in his head as Kurogiri's eyes formed and looked at the Heroes-in-training.
Kurogiri said to Thirteen and the kids. "There is no escape for you."
Aizawa paused for only a moment when he noticed this. Cursing in his head, he knew that because he took his sight off him for a moment, probably the most dangerous villain got away from him and was now attacking the students.
"It's a pleasure to meet you," Kurogiri said to the students, as Thirteen stood between them. "We are the League of Villains. I know it's impolite, but we decided to invite ourselves into this haven to justice to say hello."
Wade's mask eyes narrowed. "Somehow I don't believe that." He said rhetorically.
"That you are correct," said Kurogiri, hearing the boy's remark. Wade was a little taken back, but stood ready for anything that the living mist throws at him. "Isn't this a fitting place for All Might, the 'Symbol of Peace' to take his last breath?"
Wade's cautious expression went to wide-eyed fear. That was their plan? To kill All Might? He got into a defensive stance, ready to leap into battle at the drop of a hat.
"I believe he was supposed to be here today and yet I see no sign of him." The villain continued his monologue. "There must have been some sort of change in plans we could not have seen. Ah well, in the end, I suppose it doesn't matter. I still have a role to play." One of the fingers of Thirteen's popped open, and the Pro pointed at the Kurogiri.
Suddenly, Bakugo and Kirishima rushed forward and jumped at the villain. While the redhead tried to punch the mist, Bakugo let loose an explosion that left a cloud of smoke.
Kirishima grinned and said, "Did you think we were just gonna stand around and let you tear this place into shreds!?"
Just when Wade thought that it was over, he gasped. Kurogiri emerged from the smoke, surprising Bakugo and Kirishima. "You live up to your school's reputation." The fog villain said, forming back into his normal self. But noticeably, there were also three metal plates that were floating around where his neck would be. "But you should be more careful, children. Otherwise, someone might get hurt."
"You two! GET OUT OF THE WAY RIGHT NOW!" Thirteen yelled at the two boys. Wade's spider-senses blared. This wasn't going to be good.
"I'll scatter you across the facility to meet my comrades…" Kurogiri extended and expanded his body. Covering the class and Thirteen. "…and YOUR DEATHS!"
They were all swallowed by the cloud of darkness. "Crap! What is this!?" Kirishima shouted with Bakugo standing next to him. Wade tried to see through the smoke, but his vision was blocked by blackness. The only thing that he could see was Iida grabbing Ochaco and Sato as they were about to fly away. Shoji used his Dupli-Arms to shield both Mina and Sero. But the rest of Class 1-A were left without protection and were doing everything they could to shield themselves from the fast traveling smoke.
After getting Ochaco and Sato out of the smoke, Iida looked back at the smoke and was shocked that it was now a half-sphere. "What's going on?!"
When Wade felt gravity pulling his body down, he opened his eyes and they widened.
He was falling towards the large body of water of the Shipwreck Zone. Wade yelped when he saw this and looked around to see if there was a place that he could shoot his webs at and yank him to safety. But there was no place that was near, and he had to brace himself for impact.
SPOOSH!
With the hard impact, he was down below the surface. Wade looked around with his mask still on, before trying to swim to the surface. So Kurogiri had a kind of warping Quirk, that must be how they got into the USJ. Their plan is to kill All Might. Wade was glad he's not in class right now. But where is he?
Wade's spider-sense went off, and he looked to see a shark-Quirked villain swimming right at him.
"First catch of the day!" The villain said as he swam towards Wade at fast speeds. Wade quickly got into a fighting pose. "Nothin' personal, kid, but you gotta die!"
The villain opened his mouth as bared his teeth.
BASH!
Only to be kicked in the head by Wade after he launched a roundhouse kick, sending the villain flying away. Despite being underwater, Wade could still move around like he's out of the water thanks to his super strength.
"Hey, Walker!" Wade heard a familiar nasally voice call out to him. He turned and saw Tsuyu holding what looked to be Mineta under her armpit. She was swimming a few feet from him, and as the shark villain recovered, Tsuyu shot her tongue out and warped it around Wade's torso. The frog Hero-in-training swam to the surface as fast as she could, pulling the Spider-Man with her.
When she surfaced near the luxurious ship that was the main focus of the Zone, Tsuyu used her tongue to lift Wade out of the water and dropped him on the desk. Wade quickly got up and looked over the side. Seeing Tsuyu retracted her tongue.
"For a frog, you've got some pretty big boobs, Tsu," said Mineta, being the pervert that he was. "Perfect floaties." He groaned and leaned on her chest.
"Ribbit." Tsuyu blushed, but then a web-line from Wade stuck to Mineta's face. He screamed when he yanked out of the girl's arms. Wade caught him with one hand and dropped him on the deck.
Wade looked at him with an annoyed look. "You don't know when to give it a break, do you?" He then looked to his left and then down, seeing Tsuyu climbing up the side of the ship with her sticky feet and hands. "Thanks, Tsuyu. I owe you one."
When she was about to climb over the edge of the rail, Tsu looked at Wade. "I told you to call me 'Tsu'." She said, getting on the boat. "This is turning out to be a terrible day of class."
"Yeah, but I am more concerned about what that villain said. About All Might and him not being here." He said, putting a hand on his chin. "They knew our whole schedule and the people that would be here. They must have used the panic caused by the school alarm to get to the files. As the teachers were busy dealing with the media, they easily got in. They then waited for the perfect time to strike. Just like Todoroki said."
Mineta then said. "Hey, hold on a second. It's not like these guys can really kill All Might." He started mock punching the air. "Once he shows up, he'll pound these villains until there's nothing left!"
"Think about it though," Tsu said, getting his attention. "If the villains spent so much time planning this attack, then they probably figured out a way to kill him." Wade gasped and turned his head to her. "And didn't you hear what that smoke guy said? Maybe we should worry more about not getting tortured to death. Otherwise, we might not survive long enough to see All Might again. And even if he does show up, who knows if he'll make it out in one piece."
While she was talking, Mineta looked increasingly nervous. And when Tsu finished, the small boy was now whimpering. Mineta looked to Wade and waved his finger at Tsu. "No, the pros are gonna save us, right? Tell Frog-Boobs to shut up!" He yelled.
Wade gasped when his senses went off again and he looked towards the water. Rising up from the surface of the water was the shark villain, but he wasn't alone. Now more villains were in the water, surround the ship with the intent to murder the kids.
Mineta screamed out loud in terror. "Bad guys!" He yelled.
Wade looked at the villains with his mask covering his slightly shocked face. Just like Tsuyu said, they might have been onto something. If they're here for All Might, they may have a way to defeat him. They wouldn't have planned this attack if they didn't. But why him? Was it because his existence discourages villains and evil? Because he's the one and only Symbol of Peace and Justice?
Whatever it was, it doesn't matter. Wade didn't care what their reasons are. He had to focus. Wade has to face this evil head-on.
"This is serious. If they know how to beat him..." He said, getting Mineta and Tsu's attention. "Then it's up to us to stop whatever it is these bad guys are planning. We have to work together and keep All Might safe. No one at U.A. knows what's happening here. This is up to us. This is what we've been training for. Let's be Heroes and fight!"
Mineta gasped. "Uh, what do you mean 'fight'? Are you crazy?! These guys might be able to kill All Might, and you think we can take them?! Did you hit your head when we got warped here?!" Mineta yelled with tears coming out of his eyes like a fountain. "The best plan is for us to just wait for a real Pro from U.A. to come and save us!"
Wade looked out at the villains with Tsu. "Yeah, but just think about it. They clearly have an advantage in the water and assume that's where we'll fight."
"Are you even listening?!"
"If that's the case, they must've known what was inside the USJ before they warped in." Tsuyu said with a finger to her chin.
"Yeah. But for a group with such careful planning, there's one thing that really sticks out to me, something that just doesn't add up." Wade said while scrubbing his chin. "They sent you here, Tsu—to the Shipwreck Zone." That got her attention. "No offense."
"None taken, ribbit."
"But why does it matter that she's here?!" Mineta yelled.
"It means that the villains have no idea what our Quirks are!" Wade proclaimed as he hit his fist into his palm, which made Tsuyu realize that he was right.
"You've got a point." She said, turning her head to look at the Fire Zone. "If they knew I was a frog, they would've sent me into that Fire Zone over there instead of somewhere full of water."
"They probably separated us because they didn't know what we could do, and planned to overpower us once we were in smaller groups. Easier to pick us off one by one." Wade said, while Mineta looked scared. "But we can use that to our advantage. They don't know what our Quirks are. So, for all they know, the three of us could be super powerful."
He nodded as he turned back to the villains, who were just waiting around in the water. "Look, none of them are trying to climb into the boat, it looks like they can't even attack us by range either. That proves that they're unsure." But in his head, he knew that meant they're not going to underestimate them. They're being smart and playing it safe. For now.
"You know, we should talk about our Quirks so we can come up with a plan," Tsu said. Wade nodded, before the two of them kneed down to where they were Mineta's height. So that the Villains couldn't hear and see them talking. "I can fight like you, Wade. Obviously, I can jump high and cling to pretty much any wall. And of course, there's my tongue. I can stick it out about 20 meters. Oh yeah, and I can spit out my stomach so I can clean it. That's not really useful. Finally, I also secrete a toxic mucus. It just stings a bit. We can probably only use my jumping and my tongue here. Forget about the last things."
"That's really impressive. You're able to do everything a frog can do." Wade then looked at his fist. "I've got a laundry list of powers thanks to my Spider-Quirk. I've got superhuman strength, but that comes at a price if I use it at its full power. I've also got superhuman speed, stamina, durability, agility, equilibrium, and reflexes. Just like you, I'm able to crawl on walls. Whenever danger is present, I feel a buzzing sensation in his head as a sort of early warning system, allowing me to react accordingly. As for the non-spider powers, I possess control over the natural electricity my body produces. I'm able to blend into his surroundings, like I'm going invisible. And finally, I have a healing factor. Oh, and let's not forget about my web-shooters."
Mineta pulled off one of his balls, and another grew right back. "I've got these sticky balls." He said and stuck it onto the wall. "Their strength varies, depending on how I'm feeling, they might stick to something a whole day. They grow back as fast as I pull 'em off my hair. But I'll bleed if I use too many. Oh, and they don't stick to me. I just bounce right off 'em."
The other two stared at him. Tsu with a blank face, while Wade's face was covered by his mask, but you can tell he had the same face.
Mineta started to tear up with a whimper, before bursting into a crying fit. "DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT! THIS IS WHY I SAID WE SHOULD WAIT FOR THE REAL HEROES! MY QUIRK IS TOTALLY UNFIT FOR BATTLE AND WE'RE GONNA DIE!"
"Dude, get a hold of yourself!" Wade said as he grabbed Mineta before shaking him. "Not a great Quirk, maybe, but it's still a powerful ability if you know how to use it. That's what we're—"
His spider-senses went off. Wade looked up and saw a giant hand made of water coming down towards the ship. He grabbed the two students and jumped out of the way, before the hand slammed into the ship. Splitting it in two. Making the ship start to sink.
"I'm starting to get bored!" The villain who's manipulating the water said. "Let's get this show on the road!"
In a panic, Mineta ran to the railing and started throwing his balls that the villains in the water. Crying as none of the balls hit anything, before looking to Wade and pointing at them.
"Dude, snap out of it! You can't be…" Wade paused when he looked at the water. One of the villains was waving his hands in the water to move two balls away from him. That's when Wade realized that they're afraid to touch them.
Dropping a still frightened Mineta, Wade stared at the villains as the half-shark villain said. "The boat will be fully submerged in less than a minute. And once they're in the water, they don't stand a chance against us!"
Mineta back away to the wall. "We're fish food!"
"So, Mineta, are you really sure the Hero thing is right for you?" Tsuyu asked.
"SHUT UP! IT'S WEIRDER NOT TO BE SCARED RIGHT NOW! WE JUST GOT OUTTA JUNIOR HIGH A LITTLE WHILE AGO! I DIDN'T THINK I'D BE FACING DEATH A FEW DAYS AFTER STARTING UA! I CAN'T BELIEVE I GONNA DIE WITHOUT EVER GETTING TO TOUCH YAOYOROZU'S BOOBS!"
Wade picked up Mineta by the collar of his outfit and smacked him across the face. Sure, he could have just shaken him around again, but then he had to go and talk about Momo's boobs. "Shut up, and listen to me! We're not going to die!" He exclaimed before dropping him on the deck. "An enemy that's certain of their victory is bound to make a mistake."
"What does that mean?" Mineta asked while rubbing his stinging cheek.
"It means we can beat them!" He turned to the others. "I need you both to get ready, cause we're gonna get out of this mess. Tsu, grab Mineta and get ready to jump. When I give you a signal, get ready to grab me with your tongue. And Mineta, get ready to throw your sticky balls into the water. Got it? Got it!"
Before they could question him, Wade jumped high into the air. The villains got ready to attack him, but when Wade changed his Venom Blast with electricity around his hand, they got scared. He could kill them with that attack in the water.
But Wade wasn't trying to kill them. He was just using that to scare them, before bringing up his left arm, and aiming his hand at the water below him with his middle finger ready to fire a Smash. Even if he used a Smash, Wade knew he can't get them all at once when they're in a circle like this. Besides, there are still other enemies outside the Zone, so he can't sacrifice his arm just yet.
If a strong force like the Smash attack was applied to the surface of the water, the water would be pushed away, and then come rushing right back to the middle.
"DELAWARE SMASH!" He shouted, and flicked his fingers, launching the attack. The result was a rapid whirlpool. It dragged in all the villains, making them scream as they were taken. "Now, Tsu, Mineta!"
Tsuyu grabbed Mineta and jumped high into the air. She shot her tongue at Wade and caught him. Flying through the air, she pulled him along the way. As he was in Tsuyu's hold, Mineta clenched his fists, wondering how he could be so cool and still keep going. He started grabbing his balls and throwing them at the villains. "Take this, you villains! You can eat my sticky balls!"
"Dude, don't say it like that," Wade muttered as his mask showed a grimace.
As the balls landed in the water, they too were dragged into the whirlpool. Sticking to some of the villains who tried in vain to get them off. Wade's gamble paid off when the villains came crashing into each other, they all got stuck together by Mineta's sticky balls. When the whirlpool came to an end, it launched the villains high into the air, and then they all came down into the water.
"Nice going, Wade! Your plan really worked" Tsuyu said as they landed in the water again. But this time, they were in a much shallow end.
Wade looked back when Tsu took her tongue off him. The villains were all floating with their heads above the water, captured by Mineta's balls. "Can't believe we managed to survive that!" He said, before grunting when he felt his fingers begin to heal.
"Are you okay?" Mineta asked.
"I'm fine, I'm fine," Wade said, closing his fist a few times. "But that doesn't matter. Our next priority is to help out the others in each zone. If those villains outnumbered us, then they'll definitely be surrounding our classmates."
"You're right, if we help our fellow classmates, we can regroup and maybe we can turn this situation in our favor. Ribbit," Tsu said with a nod.
"Yeah! Let's gonna destroy their sorry butts!" Even Mineta surprisingly agreed. Getting out of the water, with Wade web-slinging and Tsu jumping while holding Mineta, the three of them headed for the nearest rescue zone, which was the Mountain Zone.
The three landed on top of a cliff, and as Wade peeked out to look down, he saw Momo, Jiro, and Kaminari fighting down there. Kaminari had a bunch of villains on him and were getting electrocuted by his powers. Jiro had a sword and one of her earphone jacks in one of her boots, which had stereos built into their shaft. Using it to send out her own heartbeats into explosive, amplified sound waves to hurt the villain's hearing. Momo was using a bo staff and her creating powers to fight off the villains.
Suddenly, a villain from another cliff was sneaking behind them before jumping down to attack Jiro. But then…
BASH!
Wade came swinging in with a kick to the villain's head, sending him flying away. Wade landed on the ground in a crouch, as Tsuyu and Mineta landed along with him.
"Momo!" Wade said, turning towards her. "Are you guys okay?"
"Wade!" Momo said with a look of relief. "I'm glad to see you three are okay!"
"Thanks for saving our backs, dude!" Kaminari replied with a smirk.
"About time we got back up!" Jiro huffed, seemingly stressed out when they were surrounded.
"Yeah, sorry about that. We had some problems of our own," said Wade, standing in a fighting stance. "Listen, I've got an idea. Momo, can you create spider webs and an insulation sheet strong enough to deflect Kaminari's electricity?"
Momo nodded with her head. "As long as it's nonliving, I can do it." She said, having a clear idea of what Wade's new plan was. She put her hand to her stomach and began creating a large web.
"Wait, what are you gonna do?" Jirou was taken aback, clearly not expecting that the young American is going to do something stupid.
Wade ignored the question as he turned around and started running up the side of the cliff, surprising some of the villains. When he was halfway up, he jumped off and flew through the air over the enemies. The Spider-Man then started shooting large webs at the villains, trapping them under them. Momo did the same with her own made webs. Throwing them at the villains and preventing them from escaping and covering the ground with the webs.
When he landed on the ground on the other side of the battlefield, he turned to Momo and yelled. "Do it now!"
"Okay, I'm ready!" Momo said, standing near Jiro and bending her back. Jiro gasped when she saw the busty teen's back move. It took longer to create a big object, but soon, a large street of 100 mm thick insulation popped out of her back, tearing her outfit.
Once it covered the girls and Mineta, Wade looked to Kaminari and yelled. "Kaminari, now!"
Even though a little bruised up and bleeding from the nose, the blonde boy grinned. "Badass. Now I don't have to worry about hurting my friends. You guys are fried!" He shot his lightning onto the webbing, and the electricity coursed through them. Shocking and electrifying everyone covered by or standing on the webs.
"Now then, I'm worried about the rest of our class," Momo said, peeking out of the sheet.
Wade ran over to the insulation sheet. "Hey, you guys okay?" he asked, but when he arrived, he gasped out loud in shock. Momo's dress was ripped in the front, leaving her large breasts out for everyone to see. The sight of his friend's boobs left Wade blushing wildly behind his mask, with his eyes growing large. 'Holy crap, she's sexy.'
"Don't just stare at her, Wade!" Jiro shouted, hugging Momo to cover her exposed chest.
"A-Ah right! I'm sorry!" Wade yelled and turned around.
"Don't worry. I can make new clothes." Momo said with a bit of a blush. Embarrassed that Wade saw her boobs, but was relieved to see him look away.
While looking away, Wade began to notice Mineta was wearing a dumb expression after he took a look at Momo's breasts, he was even drooling. "Mineta, I swear to God!"
Suddenly, Tsuyu stuck out her tongue before slapping Mineta in the face.
"Thank you, Tsu." Wade nodded at the frog girl.
"No problem, ribbit."
Wade looked to the other side and noticed Kaminari just kind of walking around. A better look would reveal that the blonde boy was giving thumbs up with a weird look on his face. Laughing stupidly. It was like he short-circuited his brain and became dumb.
After Momo just finished making her new clothes, everyone gathered around. Mineta was ranting about why Tsuyu slapped him just because he was looking at Momo's boobs, but Wade shut him up by shooting a web to the face. "Alright, listen up. We know that some of our friends are trapped in the other rescue zones, so our plan is to help them out so we can get everyone to safety and fight off the villains until All Might returns. We should split up into teams of two."
"Yeah, that's a good plan. But we got one problem.…" Jiro looked at Kaminari, who was still being dumb. She found it funny and tried to hold in her laughter. "He's gonna be like that for a while, so right now he's just a liability."
"Okay then, you, Tsu, and Mineta can take Kaminari to the entrance and help anyone that's still there," Momo said. She turned to Wade with a serious look on her face. "I think the nearest zone is the Landslide Zone, so we'll head there and get everyone to help out. If anyone's too injured to fight, then we'll have them go to the entrance."
"We'll tell those at the entrance where you two are going, ribbit." Tsuyu said.
"Alright, but please be careful when you go there. Let's go!" Wade commanded and the two teams split off. As Kaminari's team made their way to the entrance, Wade and Momo ran towards the Landslide Zone. With no other high points to swing from he'll have to get there by foot.
However, his attention was then caught by something to his left and stopped his tracks. Looking towards the plaza, he saw Aizawa still fighting back the villains.
Momo stopped and looked in the same direction. "He's still fighting them off," she said. Wade nodded and started running towards his teacher. "Where're you going?!"
Wade stopped and turned to look at her. "He's going to need help! Mr. Aizawa will be too tired to keep this up for any longer!"
"Are you saying to go down there and fight? That's crazy!"
"I'm not saying to go head-to-head, but I'm saying that we'll lighten the load when an opening is given to us," Wade said, before diving into the water. Momo looked hesitant at first, but took a deep breath and dived in after him.
Aizawa continued to take out villain after villain, before he landed to catch his breath. His hair returned to a normal shaggy way. He then noticed Shigaraki charging right for him.
"First it was 23 seconds." He said with a disturbing, hushing tone.
"Time for the final boss," Aizawa muttered, before sending his scarf to Shigaraki.
"Then it was 24 seconds," Shigaraki said, grabbing Aizawa's scarf and continued at the Hero. Aizawa also charged. "And then 20. Then 17." Aizawa grabbed his scarf and pulled it back, with his right arm going for Shigaraki. Delivering his elbow into the blue-haired villain's stomach.
When Wade and Momo reached the plaza, but stayed in the water to avoid getting caught, they thought that he was winning. But then the two of them saw that the potentially painful blow was stopped when Shigaraki caught his elbow.
Aizawa panted as Shigaraki said in his ear. "It's hard when you were jumping around, but I've found your tell. It's your hair." Aizawa's dry eyes widened in shock. "When it drops, it means you've stopped using your Quirk." Then, the elbow Shigaraki caught started to turn grey like ash or stone, and then started to crack. Making the teacher grunted in pain. "You're having to blink more often."
Wade and Momo gasped.
"Don't push yourself too hard, now. You might just fall apart. Wouldn't that be a shame?" Shigaraki powers, whatever it was, had broken through Aizawa's sleeve. Now his arm was starting to crumble away, with his skin breaking away and showing his elbow's muscle.
Wade was about to jump in, before Aizawa punched Shigaraki with a grunt. He jumped away, looking at his elbow. His skin looked like it was peeling off and exposed his tissues. Then more villains came running at him and attacked, but he was able to kick them away, while also using his good arm.
"That annoying Quirk of yours isn't suited for drawn-out fights against big groups, is it?" Shigaraki asked in a mocking tone. He got up and looked at the teacher. "Don't you think you're a little out of your element here, Eraser Head? You're much better at working stealthily. You're known for surprise attacks, not fighting head-to-head. But despite knowing that, you didn't hesitate to jump into the middle of this fight. To put your students at ease."
Aizawa continued to fight with all his powers and skills. Once he was done, he turned to Shigaraki and got ready to attack.
"And look at you, you're still standing! You really are so cool! Oh, by the way, Hero."
When he felt a presence behind him, Aizawa turned and saw the bird monster standing right behind him.
"I am not the final boss."
Wade and Momo were then shocked and horrified when the monster grabbed Aizawa, and slammed him on the ground. Blood flew as he goggles came off. All they could do was watch, as Aizawa was getting beaten. He was being held down, while the monster broke and bent his bad arm out of shape.
"What do you think of him? He's the bioengineered, anti-Symbol of Peace. But you can call him Nomu."
Tsuyu used her wall-climbing abilities to travel up the side of the stairs, with her tongue hanging down out of her mouth. She was using it to carry the brain-dumbed Kaminari, with Jiro standing on his back. Unfortunately, she didn't have a choice in any other way of getting up the wall, and the punk-rock girl had to grab Tsu's tongue for support. Behind them was Mineta, who was increasingly bleeding from the head as he popped off more of his balls and used them to climb up.
When they finally got to the top, Tsuyu jumped onto the railing and pulled Jiro and Kaminari up with all her might. After being pulled up, Jiro jumped off Kaminari and took him in her arms, prompting the frog girl to let go and reach down to grab Mineta. She pulled him up, as he was groaning in pain, set him next to the blonde electric boy on the floor.
Tsuyu and Jiro then turned and gasped when they saw what was going on. Ochaco, Mina, Sero, Sato, Shoji, and Iida were standing behind Thirteen, as the Hero used the Black Hole Quirk on Kurogiri, sucking the mist villain. "Ah, Black Hole, the Quirk that sucks up matter and turns it to dust," Kurogiri said, getting sucked into Thirteen's finger. "Such an astounding power. However, you're a rescue Hero, Thirteen, skilled at saving people from disasters."
Kurogiri opened another portal in his body. "Consequently, that means you have little fighting experience or battlefield awareness."
That's when a portal opened behind Thirteen. The Hero yelped as Thirteen was getting sucked in, as the students could only gasp in horror. Then, the back of Thirteen's suit was torn apart, and pulled into the Black Hole. Destroying the Hero's back as it was turned into dust.
Tsu quickly wrapped her tongue around the Hero's body and pulled him away, cutting off the Black Hole's power and bringing Thirteen away at a safe distance. The other students looked in shock at the appearance of them, but they were more concerned about Thirteen. "I'm sorry..." The Space-Hero said weakly. "He got me..."
"Thirteen!" Mina screamed and ran over to the Pro Hero.
"Iida, get outta here!" Sato yelled, attracting the speedster's attention. "GO! NOW!"
"What's he talking about?" Mineta asked.
Iida steeled his nerves and started his engines. "ENGINE!" he yelled, making a dash towards the door, running past Kurogiri, who turned towards him.
"A sheep trying to escape from the wolves. I simply can't allow that." He said, opening up a portal in front of Iida. If the heir of the Iida family was to get out and bring the other Heroes, then things would be more difficult for them to end All Might.
Iida tried to come to a stop before he was sucked in. He couldn't stop. Just like what Wade told him about power and responsibility, the responsibility entrusted to him to keep them safe was something that he wasn't going to throw away.
Suddenly the portal was tackled to the ground by Shoji, who wrapped his arms around it to close it. "Run! I've got him!"
Iida grunted and increased his speed. He'll get help, and he'll do it in a flash!
"You impertinent child!" Kurogiri exclaimed with anger and moved towards Iida. Ochaco, who was kneeling next to Thirteen, looked towards the villain, but then noticed something in his body. It looked to be three metal plates that would go around a person's next. "You won't set foot outside those doors!"
Iida was getting closer, but then he asked whether or not the doors were locked. Came he even pry them open in time? But things only looked to be getting worse, as he was chased over by a shadow.
"I have no time for this," Kurogiri said as he chased after Iida. He then expanded himself and covered the student. "BE GONE!"
Iida tried to keep going, pushing against the mist working against him.
But just as it happened, Kurogiri was then pulled back. The two of them were surprised, but then it turned out that Ochaco had run out and grabbed the mist villain's plates. Using her powers, she made him float. "I don't know what his Quirk is, but he's wearing some kinda weird armor!" She said, glaring at Kurogiri. "So he must have a physical body inside here somewhere!"
Ochaco then threw the villain up into the air, sending him floating. "NOW! RUN, IIDA!"
Iida got to the doors, and used all of his strength to open the doors. As he cracked them, Kurogiri speeded towards him to attack again, only for Sero to use his tap Quirk to get the villain's plate. Then Sato grabbed the tape and yanked Kurogiri away from Iida. Swinging him around, before letting him fly into the air.
This gave Iida time to get the doors open and stepped out into the sun. Using Engine Boost, he ran towards the main campus. Running to get back up and end this nightmare.
Wade's fist trembled with fury, as he watched his teacher getting his body broken by Nomu. He nor Momo could believe what was happening. In shock and terror, they watched from the water. As Nomu continued to hold Aizawa against the ground with one hand, the other hand twisted his arm even more out of form.
"You can erase people's powers. That's irritating, but it's nothing impressive." Shigaraki said after Nomu snapped Aizawa's arm again, making blood come out. "When faced with true, devastating power, you might as well be a Quirkless child."
Aizawa turned his head towards Nomu and tried to use his power again. But then Nomu crushed his other arm, making the teacher scream in agony. He's breaking his bones like they were twigs. Aizawa was positive that he erased his Quirk. That meant that Nomu was super strong, even without it. He could be as strong as All Might.
His head was grabbed and Nomu lifted it up. The monster then smashed it against the ground. Momo looked away, covering her mouth with her hand. "I can't look at this…"
"That's it." Wade hissed. "I'm going in to save him." He was about to climb out of the water, before Momo grabbed him by the arm.
"And what will you do when you go out there!" She demanded anxiously.
"I'll stop this and get Aizawa out of there! He will die if I don't do something!"
"It's too dangerous. Be smart about this battle!" Momo said, raising her whispering voice. Wade gasped, remembering his dad said something similar to him. "There's no telling what that Nomu thing is capable of. You can't just go running in and start throwing punches."
"I know that! But…"
Wade wanted to protest, but before he could, Kurogiri warped at Shigaraki's left side. "Tomura Shigaraki…"
"Kurogiri, did you manage to kill Thirteen?" The leading villain asked.
"The rescue Hero is out of commission. But there were students I was unable to disperse and one of them got outside of the facility."
"What?!" Shigaraki looked at him, but Wade couldn't see what his reaction to the news was. However, judging by how he was scratching his neck, the Spider-Man could guess that he was angry. And not just angry. Shigaraki was now growling and panting, using both hands to scratch himself more violently. "Kurogiri…You fool…If you weren't using our warp gate, I'd tear apart every last atom in your body!" The young man said with venom in his voice. He stopped suddenly. "There's no way we can win if dozens of Pros show up to stop us. It's game over. And I was looking forward to finishing this today. Damnit. Let's go home."
Wade gasped. Did he hear that right? Did he say they were leaving? "I've got a real bad feeling about this, Wade," Momo said.
"I know. Why retreat now?" Wade pondered. In his head, he knew that All Might's going to be coming if one of his classmates got out. So why leave? Didn't the villains want to kill his teacher? Then again, U.A. will increase security after all this. Attacking would be their best chance. So, what's going on? Why is it game over?
"Oh, before we leave, let's make sure the Symbol of Peace is broken," Shigaraki said…
And turned to look right at Wade and Momo.
"Let's wreck his pride."
Wade's spider-sense went off like a shotgun in his head.
With speeds he didn't know the villain had, Shigaraki was now in front of them. "Let's make this hurt." Shigaraki then reached Momo's face, as she couldn't move when her body froze.
Time slowed down, as Wade's mind flashed to when Shigaraki grabbed Aizawa's arm. The way he destroyed his elbow. The way it crumbled away.
It was going to happen to Momo.
She was going to die.
Just like Daniel.
When Shigaraki was about to put his hands on Momo, he felt his Quirk getting erased, but then his attention was caught by Wade jumping out of the water. His mask glaring the villain. If they could see behind it, then they'd know that his face was carrying a look of rage. Shigaraki clearly is different from the ones they've fought, and so was Nomu. But he's got to save Momo and get them out of there. He charged his Venom Smash.
"GET AWAY FROM HER! SMASH!" He screamed and punched the villain. Making a huge shockwave that created a large cloud of smoke. It was so strong that any of the remaining villains were sent flying back, the water was forced back, and all the lights around the edge of the dome were destroyed.
Wade panted and stared at the smoke that was covering his arm. However, he then looked at his arm and was shocked.
His arm wasn't broken. In fact, it was completely fine. Wade couldn't believe it! After all his training, now's when he's able to use Smash without breaking his arm?
Wade wanted to cheer up and looked up…
Only to see that Nomu was using his body to shield Shigaraki, and that Wade only punched him in the stomach.
Wait, Nomu didn't look hurt.
As Nomu just stood there, Wade backed away. That's when he remembered what Tsuyu said. What if the villains spent so much time on planning the attack, then they've learned of a way to kill All Might.
Nomu just stood there for a moment, before his eyes moved to look at Wade.
His spider-sense went off, and Wade quickly jumped back when Nomu paid attention to grab him. If he could take on a Smash, then there's no telling what Nomu could do to him. As he landed, Wade looked at the creature's body, trying to find a weak point.
He then stared for a moment at Nomu's exposed brain. The only thing that wasn't covered by his skin.
"You're pretty powerful," Shigaraki said. "This 'smash' of yours… Are you one of All Might's disciples? Doesn't matter. I'm done with you now."
Wade's eyes narrowed. When Nomu charged at him, Wade quickly jumped over the monster, but wasn't done yet. As he passed over the head, Wade charged a Venom Blast and smacked Nomu in the brain with it.
The monster roared out in agonizing pain, as it was paralyzed when the electricity coursed through his body.
As Shigaraki was about to grab Momo again, he heard Nomu's painful cry and looked towards him. "What—?!" That was all he was able to say before Wade came down and kicked Shigaraki in the face. Sending him across the ground.
Momo watched in amazement. Mina and Ochaco and the rest of the class at the top of the stairs heard the monster's scream and felt the shockwave of his Venom Smash, they looked over and saw him, with shock written on their faces, fighting the last remaining villains.
When Shigaraki got up and scratched his neck with growls, Wade looked back and saw that Nomu was still in the position that he was, completely frozen. It was like taking the Venom Blast to his brain not only caused pain, but also paralyzed him. But it was only for a moment, as Nomu turned around and faced the Spider-Man.
Both of them now wanted to kill Wade.
BAM!
Suddenly, a loud explosion burst from the entrance, as the sliding doors to the USJ were blown off with a tremendous force, creating a dust cloud that concealed whoever it was.
When Ochaco and Mina heard it, they and the other at the entrance looked towards it. When Wade, Shigaraki, and Momo heard it, they looked towards the sound. Everyone in the dome heard it and looked towards the main gates.
Then footsteps…no, stomps were heard.
When Ochaco and Mina saw the person walking out of the smoke, they gasped with looks of happiness. Even the other students looked with joy, and some had tears coming out.
As for Wade, when he saw the person, he smiled under his mask.
Standing there with a white dress shirt and a blue tie, and carrying his suit jacket was their saving grace; All Might. But something was different about him. He wasn't smiling. He now had an expression of fury. Glaring with his teeth gritting.
"Have no fear, students." All Might said in his booming voice, before grabbing his tie and ripping it right off his neck.
"I AM HERE!"
