บท 13: USJ 4

From my hands shot forward an intense beam of flames, the blazing heat ray scorched the ground of the USJ black as it charged at the it's target. The beast tried to move out the way but it's dodge wasn't quick enough, my attack burned clean through the left side of it's body.

Falling to it's side, what was left of his body struck the ground. As this happened the hand villain screamed with malice and rushed at me.

"Cheater! you cheated!" he uncontrollably screamed with his arms stretched in my direction

But before he could even make it half way, Eraser came in with a kick to his ribs knocking the wind right out his lungs.

As Eraser moved in with his bindings the villain screamed at the top of his lungs.

"KUROGIRI!!"

Before the bindings could reach him a black mist descended over his body, moving to a different location before Aizawa could catch him.

Pulling his scarf bindings back into place, Eraser regrouped next to me just in time to see the hand villain and the now named Kurogiri materialize at the opposite side of the fountain.

"Shigaraki, the hero Thirteen is out of commission, but in the process I allowed a student to escape. Should we make our retreat" Kurogiri said in a deep voice.

Clawing at his neck, Shigaraki replied "No! That brat over there nearly melted the Nomu. He needs to pay for the damage he caused to our weapon."

"But-"

"I don't want to hear anything out of someone who couldn't even stop a bunch of kids. Nomu! get up" he screeched towards the previously downed figure.

Turning to the Nomu I saw, something that should be impossible. The monsters leg tissues had already regenerated and his arm would've been as well if it wasn't for Eraser cancelling his quirk at the last minute.

That thing has regeneration and super speed? is it even human? As these questions flew through my mind Eraser spoke up.

"Shinmon, the other teachers at UA should be on their way, we only need to hold on for a little longer. I've been overusing my quirk too much so there's not long between blinks, but it should be enough if we fight carefully."

"Stay at a distance and keep the Nomu off my back, If you do that I can handle the other two. Just keep and eye out for any portals when my quirk wears off between blinks. Also the Handman has a decay quirk, anything he touches disintegrates." he informed me.

"Right I'll keep the big guy off you case" I replied.

Holding my hand out, my mount flies over and picks me up. Lifting off into the air once again, I pulled myself on top and began hurling fireballs at the Nomu.

"Nomu crush these fools" Shigaraki eerily said, finally finished tearing at his neck skin.

The Nomu rushed at the closest target Aizawa but before it could close in on the homeroom teacher fiery explosions littered the ground in front of him.

Stopping dead in his tracks, it's hideous face twisted in my direction before sprinting and leaping towards my position.

While the Nomu closed in on me, I created a bunch of fire stakes, with a single point they all flew at the creature nailing him all over the body. Even so while they caused burning across it body, all of the impact from the projectiles seemed to be absorbed into it's body. It must have a impact absorption quirk or something similar, that would explain how it tanked my first attack.

Reaching the apex of its leap the Nomu fell back towards earth. Slamming it's legs off the ground it came back for a second try, but unlike the first time, I never attacked the Nomu in mid air, instead I set up the playing field to my advantage.

Maneuvering past the hulking villain, it's charge ends in failure once again. When he was only a few off the ground a great pillar of flames emerged from the floor, engulfing the creature from brain to toe.

While the Nomu was airborne I ignited a vast blanket of fire over the concrete floor. It was thin enough to not take much out of me but still enough to do it's job. Now all I have to do is power up certain segments of the floor to cook the guy, and how're you supposed to dodge something your standing on.

When fire around the Nomu doused out, the charred hide of the villain holding his head was revealed. Most of its skin was eaten away by the ever hungry flames, exposing the creatures powerful muscles to everyone nearby. Although by the way it protected it's exposed brain, I assumed that was it's weak point.

Not letting up, a blazing wave of fire washed over the villains body. All it took was a wave of my hand to generate this effect, all of the fire that wasn't used in the last attack was thrown into this one.

From under the raging waves of flames, the Nomu's wails of agony were heard as it thrashed around trying to leave from the fire's vicinity.

From where Aizawa was a yell was heard.

"Nomu! Attack the children at the entrance" Shigaraki ordered his subordinate before getting knocked out by one of Aizawa's punches

Overriding it's previous orders, the Nomu rushed towards it's new targets, ignoring all pain to complete it's Masters orders.

The Nomu's body was still alight as he sprinted up the stairs at speeds barely visible to the naked eye.

I rushed after it, but no matter how much power I put into closing the distance, there was just no catching up to it. My heart dropped, thinking about how everyone at the entrance would end up due to me being too slow.

It was when the Nomu reached the top and my nervousness was peaking, that it was suddenly smacked back down. It's giant body was sent straight into the concrete floor sending dust everywhere. When the cloud cleared, you could see the scorched Nomu lying within a large crater of cracked concrete.

"Have no fear students, I am here!" Its was him, the symbol of peace, the hero who just took up a job at his old school. All Might was here to save the day and he didn't look happy.

In the blink of an eye all the students nearby were moved to the exit, then All Might raced down next to the Nomu and began thumping it with punches.

While the two behemoths were clashing, I was being pushed further ad further away, but even as this happened I was totally mesmerised at the power All Might was showing. It was beyond all my expectations, he made the Nomu that was supposed to counter him look like a total joke. He was literally forcing everyone else there back, just by the wind pressure generated from his punches.

While those two fought, Kurogiri used the moment everyone was blown back to teleport away with a limp Shigaraki. Now that Aizawa had no opponent to fight, he used his erasure quirk on the Nomu turning the fight into a complete no contest.

With a final punch All Might shouted at the Nomu "Go beyond! Plus Ultra!!" as he drove his mighty fist into the villains stomach.

The attack sent the Nomu battering through the USJ walls and flying into the distance, while All Might stood proud. Inspiring the next generation of heroes to become stronger with his monstrous display of power.

---------------------

From then on it was a nightmare for the villains, the UA staff arrived and began taking them down in hoards. Snipe must've had a ball shooting the scores of villains from across the USJ, that quirk of his is really something. Imagine he used different kinds of projectiles instead of just bullet, he could end up causing insane amounts of damage, and to make it worse there'd be no dodging his shots.

Watching him fight gave me and idea for a skill that should give me some much needed defence from ranged attacks.

So as soon as school finished I went straight home to get some practice in.
