Chapter 14: MHA : Evolving : Chapter 14
' All Might '
The USJ echoed from the thunderous boom of his punch caving in the giant metal doors, steel warping under his fist and a cloud of dust billowing out into the domed building.
As he strode in, fist clenching his jacket tightly, All Might saw a group of students partway down the steps, looking up at him with relief and joy. It failed to quell his burning rage "Have no fear students."
All Might snarled out, teeth grit together tearing off his tie as he yelled out his famous catchphrase "For I am here!" he had a whole speech planned, a confident statement to unnerve the villains and reassure his students.
But then he got a good look at the plaza.
He saw several students with expressions of horror on their faces as they stared at a classmate.
He saw that classmate mutilated beyond anything he'd seen on the job for years, the fading warp gates and remnants of the attacks making it clear just what had done most of those wounds.
He saw a massive black monstrosity, one so familiar to All for One's old projects that it made him sick, clutching one of Young Midoriya's severed arms.
He saw the apparent leader of this group of scum playing with Midoriya's other arm, using the removed limb to make crude gestures.
All Might saw red.
...
' Shigaraki '
"After all this waiting, the heroic piece of trash finally arrives." Shigaraki chuckled, playing with his new 'toy' "I guess our little game can conti-" his words were cut off as he felt a rush of wind, saw All Might vanish from where he was mixed with the sound of wrenching steel faster than Shigaraki could process.
He felt the blood covering him, the iron taste filling his mouth as All Might's thrust with a torn off light post speared though Nomu that had taken the blow, the tip apparently pointed enough to help All Might overcome shock absorption.
The Hero's face itself filled Shigaraki with a fear that he hadn't felt since he was a child, seeing those dark shadowed eyes, blue eyes glowing with hatred and fury, the severed arm of the grey skinned brat falling to the ground from limp fingers. With a grunt.
All Might swung his makeshift lance, sending the skewered Nomu flying into the lake with a violent splash.
"Students!" All Might's Voice was firm, tight with rage yet clearly directed at everyone but the hero's and their little brats "Get Midoriya and get back to the entrance!" as the man gave his order, Shigaraki noticed that every thug between them and the steps was unconscious and thrown about.
All Might's charge to try and kill him having included scattering them like leaves in a storm.
Shigaraki took a wary step back, hating himself for it as All Might turned his attention back to him fully "Going straight for a killing blow? How unheroic of you 'symbol of peace'."
"You mutilated my student." All Might kept walking, the students hastily grabbing the gray skinned brat and his severed limbs, hauling off the massive thrashing and screaming teenager.
"You used your quirk to rot off one of his limbs." Shigaraki felt a pit in his stomach as All Might identified his quirk without seeing it or it being mentioned.
"H-how…?" for a moment, Shigaraki wondered if he'd gotten in over his head.
"The decayed and corrupted flesh on Midoriya's arm and stump, the damage to Aizawa's elbow." All Might gripped his fist around the lamp post in his arm, the blood-stained metal and glass top trembling.
"The fact you keep your pinky finger lifted and away from whatever you're doing. I've fought scum like you for years, I know how to read the signs of my opponents." This…this was the man who'd fought his master, who had left All for One in a state that he was barely alive even with his multitude of quirks. He wasn't ready for this.
"NOMU!" Shigaraki's confidence cracked apart, his voice shaking as he called for the monster his Master had given him.
"KILL EVERYONE YOU CAN!" the massive black creature let out a screech as it burst from the Lake, charging at All Might with a screech, the mountainous blond having gained control over his rage after his initial attempt to impale him, although given the control he'd shown when he only knocked out the much weaker thugs then Shigaraki would likely live to be pumped for whatever information they'd be able to get out of him.
Nomu, the wound fully closed up now, threw an earth-shattering punch at All Might, warping the light post as they fought, the creature attacking whatever was closest to it whether that be All Might, or the thugs whenever All Might got tossed away by a strong enough punch.
"He's supposed to be weaker." Shigaraki shook as he saw All Might trade blows with Nomu, overwhelming the creature with unrelenting fury before letting out a powerful uppercut that actually sent the creature skyrocketing into the sky and through the ceiling, the fight having been only caught in glimpses as the two fighters moved faster than he or Kurogiri could keep track of most of the time.
"We need to-aaargh!" his attempt to order a retreat was cut off as bullets cut into him, the hot metal burning as they sat imbedded in his limbs. The other teachers of UA had arrived, they'd seen the state of their students and coworkers, and they were just as enraged as All Might.
Mist enveloped his vision as Kurogiri got them out of there. Even with the bleeding holes in his body, knowing he failed Sensei hurt more.

' Present Mic '
Arms crossed, the voice hero worked to not scowl near the two students who were about to be questioned by Tsukauchi. Of class 1-A there were eighteen still at the USJ, Iida having been left at the school once he alerted everyone of the threat and Midoriya having been rushed to the hospital along with Recovery Girl to aide in the healing of him, Thirteen, and Shota.
At the thought of his badly hurt best friend, Hizashi grit his teeth, wanting to find the ones who'd done that and scream them apart. That being the reason Nezu had ordered him to stay out here with the students and himself while the rest of the faculty went through to find and secure all the villains that got left behind.
Nemuri was just as angry as he was admittedly but lacked his destructive quirk.
Hearing door open, Hizashi looked over to see Tsukahuchi walk in, Nezu perking up from where he sat on Hizashi's shoulder "Thank you for your patience." The man said gently to the shaking Hagakure and the scowling Mineta.
"I wanted to ensure the rest of your classmates were all securely with an officer before we began."
"'y are we de only ones being questioned in 'ere?" Mineta got out through a badly broken nose, several wet wipes littering the table all stained red after having been used to clean off the multitude of dried blood.
"Before he was rushed to urgent care, your sensei Aizawa requested that you two be questioned on something that was said during the USJ incident, although we aren't able to get details from him before All Might rushed him out."
Tsukauchi explained, the orders being the only thing Aizawa had managed to get out to the staff when the arrived before feeling safe enough to pass out.
"She 'roke my nose!" Mineta pointed a finger at Hagakure who let out an angry snarl and Hizashi was sure she was glaring at the diminutive student. A glance at Tsukauchi showed the man flashing a sign for 'truth', the cop's lie detection quirk invaluable in times like these.
"You deserved it you creepy little bastard!" Hagakure yelled at Mineta, Hizashi having to quickly move in to separate the two.
"Language." Nezu scolded the girl, the little mammal's expression firm "And explain why your classmate would deserve to have his nose broken by you during a villain attack."
"He tried to…" the girl let out a disgusted shudder, the action clear thanks to her exaggerated body language shown through her clothes.
"When we landed in the Mountain area after that misty villain tossed us through a warp gate, Mineta started shouting about how he didn't want to die."
"That's a fair thing to want." Tsukahuchi said warily, all three adults well aware there had to be more.
"Then he started whining about how he hadn't even kissed a girl or touched a boob yet." The irate girl continued, "Finally, Mineta decided he 'refused' to die without getting to grope someone and tried to jump on me and paw me while we were surrounded by villains!"
"You endangered your classmate by trying to sexually assault her during a villain attack?!" Hizashi's voice, while not strong enough to cause damage, still rattled the windows of the little office room at the USJ they were using.
"You don have proof!" Mineta snapped back at the girl, Hizashi remembering Aizawa's report from earlier in the year about the kid wanting to find or make a peep hole into the girl's locker room.
"My quirk is a lie detection ability." The detective's voice was frosty as Mineta paled "And I'm well aware she was telling the truth."
Tsukauchi reached up to his collar and radioed in another officer "Mineta, I'll be having you give the remainder of your statement to another officer given what actions you were trying to do to this young lady earlier.
And just to be clear, I'll be reading your statement afterwards and confirming with you that it's accurate so I would suggest you neither lie, nor embellish. Are we clear?"
"Yes." The shaking and suddenly crying boy nodded, eyes wide with fear.
A large and burly officer came and escorted Mineta away while Tsukauchi finished, gently, interrogating the girl, her rage leaving her once Mineta was gone as she broke down into tears at what he'd tried to do, and what had happened to Midoriya when the kid fought to protect his class.
"Fucking hell," Hizashi muttered under his breath, "this is a mess." And he knew the day was far from over if Nezu's angry muttering was any indication.
