"...We don't have much time." Deku attempted to change the subject. "The student that got out has a super-speed quirk. It's only a matter of time until he gets back with-!"
"I don't care about that!" Shigaraki seethed as he grabbed hold of Deku's neck, leaving one finger off from touching. Deku grasped onto the hand, afraid to pull it off as it might accidentally lead to him getting 'dusted'.
"You and the rest of the peons..." The leader of the League motioned to the scattered unconscious villains around the area that Eraserhead dealt with.
"Are nothing more than a bunch of mindless, ignorant NPC's to me! When I tell you to do something, you do it! When I want to kill some kids, you don't get in my way! And if won't go along with the system...then I'll be more than happy to delete you!"
Deku struggled in the madman's grasp as he slowly reached for his Taser-Knuckle behind his back.
He should have figured that his life as a villain would be a short one. But, If he was going to go out like this, then he was at least going out taking a swing at this psycho!
KABOOM! ! !
The front doors to the USJ came flying down the stairway. Shigaraki took his hand back from Deku's neck to shield his eyes from the dust and debris.
Deku rubbed his neck of the cold, clammy feeling of Shigaraki's fingers and looked up at the destroyed entrance.
In the blooming smoke came a towering figure, with two tall stands at the top of its head. As it made its way inside, the students near the entrance grew smiles of joy, and some began to shed tears of relief. The figure stomped forward, its steps echoing and shaking the entire facility.
He may have been the one to have crushed his dreams. He may have been the one who left him alone when he needed him most.
He may not have been the hero he always envisioned him to be...But Deku would be lying if he said that he wasn't happy to see him!
"Children...have no fear..." The Symbol of Peace, the Number one Hero, the one and only All Might, came into vision with the angriest face the green hooded boy had ever seen him make, and ripped the tie off from around his neck.
"FOR I! ...AM! ...HERE!"
Deku and Shigarai stared up at the Number One Hero. One had wide, shaking eyes with a mix of awe and fear in his chest.
The other had a narrowed gaze filled with spite and hatred. The hand-man stepped away from the green hooded villain as he kept his one eye on the Symbol of Peace. "Finally...Player one has entered the game..."
A few of the villains who were still standing looked up to the mighty hero, a newfound feeling of dread coming over them all.
"I-It's him...It's actually him!" A villain stated as he shook within his spiked shell.
"I've only seen him on TV, but...wow, he is really big...!" A villain with stitches across his entire body stuttered with trembling knees.
A villain with a mohawk shook himself out of his petrified stupor and put on a brave face. "C-C'mon, guys, snap out of it! There's still a whole bunch of us left! If we all gang up on him, then maybe we can-!"
In the blink of an eye, All Might came down from the entrance and stuck every last villain still on their feet unconscious, stopping as he reached the bloody and beaten Eraserhead. "Forgive me, Aizawa. I wasn't here when I was supposed to be."
All Might look over the underground hero's injuries. "What cruelty you've suffered at the hands of these scoundrels...!"
The Symbol of Peace looked in the direction of Shigaraki, the Nomu, and Deku. The green hooded villain played under the look Number One Hero gave them.
His signature smile was gone. He now wore a furious scowl on his chiselled features. It was like looking into the face of an angry god, who had come down from his holy domain to smite the wicked for harming his subjects.
It was enough to make Deku instantly regret becoming a villain...
As fast as he took out the remaining grunt villains, All Might swooped in and grabbed hold of the children in the water.
Deku threw his arms up to shield his eyes, while Shigaraki lost the hand that was clasped over his face.
Itsuka, Tsuyu, and Mineta found themselves standing on dry land before they could register what just happened.
The grape-boy looked around himself in utter befuddlement. "Huh?! Wait-what the-?!"
"Children, take Mr. Aizawa and head for the entrance." All Might ordered, his piercing blue eyes trained on the remaining villains sternly. "I will handle the rest."
Deku's eyes were fixated on the furious Symbol of Peace until he caught Shigaraki out of the corner of his eye.
He had his right hand over his exposed face, twitching erratically as he stumbled over to his mask-hand on the ground. "No...no, no, no, no, no...That wasn't supposed to happen...!" He picked it up and placed it back on his face.
"Classic hero nature...punch first, ask questions later..." The hand-man mocked casually as if his mental breakdown was immediately halted by putting his hand back on.
"You're fast, All Might. Too fast to keep up with. And yet, somehow...you seem slower at the same time..."
As the leader turned his head to sneer at the Symbol of Peace, Deku got a good look at what the leader of the League's face looked like without his cover.
Dry, flakey skin, wrinkled dark eyes, capped lips curled up into a manic smile. The green hooded villain could have easily mistaken him for a zombie come back from the dead.
"Could it be that maybe...just maybe...you're losing your strength?"
A cold chill ran down the back of Deku's neck. Did Shigaraki know about All Might's weakness? Is this why he put this whole plan together? If he did, how'd he find out? Did someone else tell him? How many other's knew about this?!
As Deku recoiled from the bombarding questions in his mind, All Might rushed the three villains, crossing his arms before him. "Carolina..."
"Nomu," Shigaraki ordered passively. The grotesque goliath stepped in front of him, with a speed that seemed to rival the number one hero himself.
"SMASH!" All Might swung his arms forward, chopping the monster across the chest, the impact causing a shockwave that everyone felt.
The mighty hero looked at the creature before him, who showed no sign of injury and merely stared at the man with its disturbingly blank eyes.
Suddenly, the monster lashed out at All Might, trying to wrap its muscular arms around him for a bone-crushing bear hug.
All Might retaliated by ducking down and leaning back, then using his position to spring forward and deliver a devastating right to the belly of the beast.
...But the Nomu stayed on its feet.
All Might was stalled with shock until he tried another high-powered punch aimed at the monster's exposed brain. But once again, the creature stayed standing. "What in the world is this thing?!"
"That 'thing' is what will finally finish you off, All Might." Shigaraki gloated confidently. "You're going to have to put whatever dwindling power you have left into destroying it before it destroys you!"
All Might zipped behind the beast and grabbed it by its waist. "Thanks for the advice!"
He then swung himself backwards, bringing the Nomu with him, until he plunged the monster's head into the ground.
The amount of force behind the attack shattered the earth, causing a geyser of dust and debris to erupt from the impact.
"Woah..." That was all that Deku could say as he watched the spectacle of power. But deep in his gut, Deku worried that the Nomu may prove too much for the Symbol of Peace to handle.
He had to guess that the reason All Might was late for his own class, was because he was using what power he had earlier that day, saving lives and keeping up his appearance as the number one hero.
It was a tight pot that the mighty hero had put himself in. After all of his feats and victories, All Might had built up an image of always being able to save anyone and everyone, and that as long as he was here, all would be well.
The boy could see it on the awe-inspired and relieved faces of the students around him.
But the mighty hero's reputation was a double-edged sword. If he was to, hypothetically, fall in the line of heroism, Deku could only imagine the fallout of society.
Panic and fear would flood the streets. Villains would take the Symbol of Peace's downfall as an invitation to run rampant, with no All Might to put them back in line.
It would be chaos. Pure, unfathomable, chaos.
And that was exactly what the League of Villains was after.
"AAAARRGGH!" Deku whipped his head back to the struggle between All Might and the Nomu, seeing something that took time for him to register.
