Chapter 164: Bodyguard Brawl
Maybe I should build some kind of arena. Izuku thought as he stood outside, with all four of his bodyguards in front of him.
In front of the bodyguards were the Cerberus sisters, who had come upon Izuku's request.
And lastly behind Izuku was Shina, who had also come due at Izuku's request.
After reaching an opening in the woods, they stooped.
"Alright, here looks good," Izuku said, stopping everyone.
"What looks, good sir?" Tokoshi asked, adjusting the tie on his new butler suit.
SHOOM!
Izuku suddenly launched himself towards them, at astonishing speeds.
He rushed past the bodyguards so fast that most of them couldn't react, and almost grabbed Ji.
Until Giza launched himself at Ji at the last minute and pushed her out of the way.
Izuku missed Ji, but he suddenly moved mid-air toward Inu, who was right next to him.
His hand almost reached here, but suddenly two swords appeared on either side of him, blocking him from both Inu and Yaba.
"What the-ack!? Yaba squawked as suddenly she was carried away, because Sai sent a sword flying through her collar, getting her away from Izuku.
At that same moment, Sai opened portals around Izuku, and dropped swords all around him, trapping him in a cage of swords.
"Wait, wait, wait, wait what the hell is happening?" Sori asked, looking extremely confused.
"Mr. Midoriya is testing us using his Repel quirk he got from Ms. Shina, keep him away from the kids." Sai quickly explained to everyone.
"Correct!" Izuku said as he repelled all the swords away from him, causing the swords on top of him to fly up into the air, and the swords surrounding him shattered, and their pieces flew all over the place. "Now show me that you can protect my children."
Izuku repelled himself upwards, then towards Ji, flying through the air toward his sister at an alarming speed.
Sori moved faster, rushing towards Ji, and grabbing her before Izuku could get close, before running away.
Izuku then moved towards the next closest girl, Yaba, and flew towards her.
However, Tokoshi was closer, and he managed to jump in front of Yaba before he got to her.
Izuku continued towards her and when he got close, he tried to repel Tokoshi out of the way.
"Grrrrr!" Tokoshi grit his teeth, as he felt an overwhelmingly strong force trying to push him back, for a second he actually slid back a few inches, but he managed to dig his heels into the ground and stop himself, before he started pushing forward, against Izuku's quirk.
Izuku's eyes widened when he saw this, and stopped himself mid-air, before bringing himself upwards, and over Tokoshi, then using his Repel again.
While Tokoshi was strong enough to resist his Repel, the ground was not, and Tokoshi was forced down into the ground like a drill, boring deeper and deeper into the earth, creating a pretty deep hole.
But before Izuku could use this opportunity to go at Yaba, Sori had already grabbed her along with the others and started fleeing into the woods, towards the house.
Hmmm. Even with my Repel, she's still faster than me. But unlike her, I don't need to move around the trees. Izuku flew forward, following Sori, using his temporary quirk to Repel any trees in his way away, causing them to either fall over, or get smashed to pieces as Izuku sped forward without issue.
It didn't take long for Izuku to catch up to Sori, due to the girls in her arms she couldn't move as fast as she normally could, nor was she as agile so she actually had to move around the trees.
Crap. The boss is gonna catch up to me at this rate. Gotta think of something. Sori thought to herself.
Then, she dug her foot into the ground with her next step and kicked up a massive dirt cloud at Izuku.
Izuku immediately repelled the dust cloud, however, in that split second when his vision was blocked, Sori had vanished.
Smart move. Izuku thought. She must have hidden somewhere nearby.
Izuku then plopped onto the ground, took a look around, and then activated his quirk.
SHOOM!
Suddenly everything around Izuku, flew away trees, rocks, leaves, blades of grass, everything, turning the area into a patch of dirt.
Sori was revealed, hiding in the leaves of one of the fallen trees, which were blown away along with the tree, leaving her and the girls exposed.
"Shit," Sori swore, before she immediately started running, however, Izuku used his repel quirk on her, causing her to trip and fall, dropping the girls in front of her.
Just as Izuku was about to zoom toward the girls, he saw portals circularly open above the girls, but he also felt his Ageis Robe, armor up on his left side.
Izuku then repelled a sword that was about to hit him, causing it to fly away, and at the same time, a cage of swords formed around the girls and Sori.
Sai then came in, riding a rocket sword over to them, before jumping off it to keep her distance from Izuku, before then opening a bunch of portals around Izuku, and unleashing swords rapid fire on Izuku.
This actually managed to stop Izuku, as he was forced to stand still, and repel all the swords coming at him.
But then he turned up his quirk to max power.
All the swords that were repelled went flying in every direction, raining down on the land like deadly rain.
Sai saw some of the swords flying at her and was forced to open up a few portals around her and shoot out more swords to shoot down the swords coming at her.
But now she was sweating, having to open up all these portals was starting to take a toll on her vitality, and distracted her for just a moment.
With that, Izuku took a deep breath and then used his quirk, on all the air around him.
SHOOM!
A dome of air expanded away from Izuku, encompassing everything around him like a massive blast.
"AGH!" Sai was blown away with all of her swords, sent flying back into the woods, and causing all the portals to vanish.
Immediately, Izuku turned towards the cage of swords and saw that Sori and the girls were no longer there, and the back of the cage had been smashed apart.
Then Izuku felt his robe tense up completely, armoring him and cutting off his line of sight. Uh Oh.
Izuku repelled himself away from that spot, just in time as Tokoshi came crashing down to the ground, creating a massive shock wave.
"Gah!" Izuku was blown back by the shock wave, he hadn't expected it so he couldn't repel it, but fortunately, his robe diminished most of the damage.
Izuku tumbled across the ground for a second, before using his quirk to realine himself back to his feet.
"Forgive me, sir," Tokoshi said, as he rushed towards Izuku to punch him.
Izuku just flew into the air, got over Tokoshi, and repelled him into the ground once again.
With that done, Izuku looked over to the area where the kids had been. At this rate, they're likely far enough away that I won't be able to find them before Shina's quirk wears off. Guess I'll call it quits for now.
"Alright, that's enough!" Izuku shouted. "The exercise is over."
"I have to say, I didn't expect you to be the type of person to give this kind of test."
Izuku turned around and saw that Giza had snuck up behind him. "I'm guessing you're the one that hid the kids?"
"That is correct," Giza confirmed while stroking his beard. "Approaching you directly was a futile effort, and it was not our objective. I find that doing unnecessary things during combat, is what often leads to defeat."
"True enough I guess." Izuku agreed, before looking around. "Where are the girls by the way."
"They will come out when you're quirk is no longer present," Giza explained. "In about thirty seconds. I don't think you'd want us to just let the children go around our enemies just because they say they surrender, would you?"
"Um. That wasn't part of the test, but good thinking." Izuku praised. "Now thanks to this test I think I have a good idea of who I should take to the Sports Festival with me."

SMASH!
"Raghhhh!" ReDestro shouted as he threw yet another desk against the wall of his apartment. "That damn Midoriya!"
All of his undercover agents had been rejected by the Midoriya Foundation, meaning he was still no closer to killing Izuku Midoriya!
The worst part is he had no idea how to even get an agent into the Foundation because their hiring processes seemed to be fucking random.
At this point most of his allies say that he's just wasting his time, but he REFUSED to let Midoriya live! Izuku Midoriya was an insult to everything he and his ancestors stood for, and MUST be dealt with!
"Grrrr. I have to kill him at the Sports Festival." ReDestro growled as he tried to calm himself. "It's the only time when I KNOW he'll be leaving that fortress he calls a home."
"I was thinking the same thing." Said an unknown female voice behind him
ReDestro immediately activated his quirk, growing his arm to ten times the size, before swinging behind him at whoever had snuck up on him.
But he hit nothing but air.
"You have nothing to fear ReDestro, if I wanted you dead, you would simply be dead." Said the voice, coming from behind him again.
ReDestro growled, and turned around, to see who the mysterious intruder was.
It was a young woman, covered head to toe in black garb, with some dark grey metal armor covering her chest and legs.
Her face was covered by a black mask, revealing only her bright green eyes.
"I apologize, you caught me in a bad mood," ReDestro said, glaring at the woman and keeping his quirk active. "Now if you could explain to me who you are, how you got here, and how you know that name, I might allow you to live."
"My name is Karai, and I come with an offer." The woman explained. "Tell me, have you ever heard of the Foot Clan."
ReDestro glared at her even harsher. "The Foot Clan? They're a mear a myth."
"It's good to hear you say that, we prefer to keep a low profile for the time being," Karai said. "But, we are very, very real. And we would like to collaborate with you, in your efforts to kill Midoriya Izuku at the sports festival."
Please review and have a nice day.
Chapter 165: Preparations
All for One smiled as he looked up at the T.V., with both ReDestro and Karai both on call. "Well, Well, the Foot Clan, what a surprise."
"You knew of their existence?" ReDestro asked, not liking how he was the only one that had been in the dark.
All for One scoffed. "One does not live as a criminal mastermind for several hundred years, and not know of the Foot Clan."
"Good, then we can get to the point," Karai said. "We are planning to attack the U.A. stadium on the day of the Sports Festival, and we'd like to ask for your cooperation."
"Oh?" All for One smirked. Seemed like things were going to be more amusing than he thought. "That's a rather daring move. Let me guess, it's about the Midoriya Foundation?"
"You would be correct," Karai confirmed. "The Midoriya Foundation currently has something that belongs to the Foot Clan. And you already know what issue the M.L.A. has with them."
"Yes, yes am well aware." All for One said. "But what would motivate me to join your attack?"
"I would appreciate it if you did not waste time playing coy." Karai scolded. "We all know that you would love to get your hands on the Midoriya family's quirks."
"Heh, yes I suppose that was obvious." All for One chuckled. "But still, that is a rather risky operation. The Sports Festival is going to be attended by hundreds of heroes, including All Might and Endeavor. Not to mention all the heroes that are going to be watching it from elsewhere. It won't be a stretch to say that reinforcements will come pretty much instantly, and in numbers, we could not hope to fight off. And it would almost guarantee that all three of us would be exposed to the world afterward."
"True, but when one is focused so thoroughly on one thing, they tend to be rather ignorant to everything else," Karai explained. "With most of the heroes focused on the Sports Festival, it will be easier for criminals to get away with unsavory acts. Something we've already pointed out to the many gangs and wanna-be criminals, itching for a chance to prove themselves a threat."
"Interesting, but do you really think an army of low-rank villains will attract attention away from the Sports Festival?" All for One asked. "Even the lower rank heroes dispatch of them in droves. It will cause chaos, but nearly enough."
"Indeed, but the villains are there to KEEP the hero's attention, not attract it," Karai said. "That's what the bombs are for. Regardless of their power and skill, rescue and damage control takes time. Add all those lowly villains to mix, and the heroes will have their hands quite full. Even more so if you would be so kind as to lend some of your Nomu to the mix."
"We'll see, so what's your plan for the attack on the actual festival?" All for One asked.
"After many of the heroes are distracted, we will activate the E.M.P.s around the city, meaning no one will be able to tell what's happening, and people won't know the arena is being attacked," Karai explained. "Then, that's when we infiltrate the arena, and quickly go after our targets, overwhelming them with numbers, completing our missions, and getting out before they can counterattack."
"Hmmmmm." All for One thought about it for a moment. "Alright, I'm in. I think I can offer some very useful tools to your operation, like Kurogiri, and something we've been preparing for a while. I can't think of a better time to use Starro."

Izuku walked into the Lab with a stern look on his face.
He walked through the halls of the laboratory, moving past several Staff Bots.
The Staff Bots were made by Dr. Hikari, to do all the menial tasks that scientists couldn't be bothered to do, and that they didn't want to hire people to do. They had the upper half of a robotic human, while their wide lower halves moved with two wheels.
Izuku moved towards Mai's office, before letting himself in. "Jikan, is it ready yet?"
"Just about. Me and Dr. Hikari worked around the clock on it." Mai explained as she pulled up a large briefcase, around half the size of her body. "Oaf, it's a bit heavy though."
"Well, that's to be expected considering what I asked for," Izuku said, and he took the briefcase. It was a bit heavy, thankfully he worked out so he could carry it with little difficulty.
"About that sir, are you sure this is ok?" Mai asked with an extremely uneasy expression. "This weapon is kinda…cruel. It could ruin a person's life in more ways than one."
"I'm aware." Izuku sighed, looking down at the case with a heavy expression. "I really, really, don't want to use this. But if I have to, that means my children, are in danger. And if that's the case, I can't afford to hold back. They WILL regret trying to darken my children's futures."
"I mean…if you're using it on child-killing scum, I guess I can't feel too bad for them," Mai said, although her uneasy expression contradicted her words.
"It's fine to feel bad for them, just not to the point where we let them get their way," Izuku told her with a sigh. "But, anyway, the other briefcase?"
"Um, right. Sir." Mai went under her desk and grabbed the other briefcase, this one was smaller, but still pretty big. "Sir…are you sure about this? If this briefcase falls into the wrong hands, the results could be catastrophic."
"I know. But I have to take every precaution I can." Izuku said as he took the other briefcase.
"Sir, I hate to sound like I'm going against you after everything you've done for me, but…you're just going to the Sports Festival." Mai pointed out with an apologetic tone. "Isn't it already safe enough?"
Izuku sighed, and put down the briefcases, before looking Mai, straight in the eye. "I was on my front lawn, miles away from the city, surrounded by Grimm-infested forest. All Might and Eraserhead were literally right in front of me, along with my two, extremely powerful bodyguards, and the entirety of class 1A. And yet despite all that, the villain managed to break into my house, fight All Might, Eraserhead, my bodyguards, and the army of Grimm to a standstill, get the advantage over class 1A, and if it weren't for my children stepping in, we could have lost that whole battle. My son had his hand burnt off. Nara had a hole put in her chest, Ken was put into critical condition, and Kiba almost murdered several people, including her own friends…Do you understand my position a little better now?"
Mai cringed and looked away in shame. "Sorry, sir."
"No need to apologize, I understand I'm being paranoid to an extent," Izuku admitted. "But if that paranoia keeps my children safe, then I'll do what I must."
"I understand sir, I trust you know what you're doing," Mai said as she bowed to her boss.
"I told you it's fine. It's actually a good thing that you're questioning me. It lets me know you have integrity." Izuku smiled. "I'm glad I put you in charge of this division."
Mai smiled back. "Thank you, sir."
Okay, this is a little appetizer for the Sports Festival, just to set up for the main course.
Anyway, please review and have a nice day.
Chapter 166: The Sports Festival Part 1
Once again Izuku had rented a bus, for all of them to drive to U.A. on, much like he did when they went to the amusement park.
Giza was driving it now, with Izuku in the seat directly behind them.
Behind him was Sori who was the other bodyguard accompanying them.
And behind her, where all the children that had gone with them. Fu and Kyosei, Kiba, Sansan, Shiruku, Yami, Mu, Netsu, Ken, Nara, Aka, Alice, and the Cerberus trio.
And behind the bus was a trailer, filled with their stuff. Mainly Kiba merch.
"I'm surprised you came with us Shiruku, I didn't think you were interested in hero stuff," Nara said.
"I'm not, but I do want to cheer on Ochaco," Shiruku explained. "Eri and Kei wanted to do it too, but they had to babysit the turtles, so I'm coming to represent them too."
"It's such a shame that you're not interested in being a hero." Aka sighed from her seat. "You could crush so many villains."
"I'm even more surprised that you came Mu," Netsu said, looking at Mu, who was covered in a sheet to keep people from looking at him.
"I wanted to see the heroes," Mu explained curtly.
"Alright, everyone!" Izuku spoke up, getting everyone's attention. "We're almost there. Now, remember, stay in groups. Always be near one of the bodyguards, and if something happens, let us know, immediately, understood?"
"Yes!" Shouted all the children.
"And remember, no using your quirks if you can help it." Izuku reminded them. "This isn't the Foundation, you can get in serious trouble for using your quirks in public. Especially if someone winds up getting hurt."
Aka raised her hand. "What if some lower then dirt, scummy villain tries to do something?"
Izuku sighed. "That depends. If you can, try to run away, and get one of the bodyguards to deal with it. But, if you for whatever reason, you or someone else is in danger, and the ONLY way to save them is to use your quirk, then do it. I'll handle the repercussions afterward. Got it, everyone?"
Everyone nodded.
And with that, the bus came to a stop.
"We have arrived," Giza said, putting the bus in park.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Midoriya and company walked onto the U.A. stadium fairgrounds, where people would buy and sell things from stalls that U.A. would rent out.
However, it was rather empty at the moment, due to them arriving much earlier. Normally no one would be allowed in at this time, however, they were a special case.
"It's a pleasure to see you again Mr. Midoriya," Nezu said as he and Izuku talked while the kids set up Kiba's stall. "You as well Giza. How have things been going at the Foundation."
"Fairly well, I have no complaints," Giza said while stroking his beard. "Although hopefully, I will be a little less busy once this is over."
"That's likely. From the looks of it, Mr. Midoriya's been preparing for our event quite thoroughly." Nezu said, looking at the two suitcases that Izuku was holding. "May I inquire what are in those cases Mr. Midoriya?"
"I apologize, but would like to keep that secret," Izuku told him. "It's nothing dangerous…to you."
"I see. Very well, I trust your word," Nezu told him. "Just take care not to raise any suspicion."
"Noted, thank you," Izuku said, giving a brief bow to show his appreciation. "And thank you for all the special treatment as well."
"Well you know what they say, scratch my back, I scratch yours," Nezu said. "I do hope we can continue this mutually beneficial relationship."
"As do I." Izuku nodded.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
A few hours later, after the other stalls had set up, the pre-Sports Festival activities had finally started.
The fairgrounds were full of life, and absolutely crawling with people and pro-heroes alike.
As such, the group split into two, as best to enjoy the festival.
The first group would stay at Kiba's stall and included, of course, Kiba, Fu, Mu, and Ken. Along with Sori to guard them.
While the second group wandered around the festival grounds. This group consisted of everyone else.
Naturally seeing as they traveled in such a big group, and their patriarch was wearing a cloak made of darkness, they got a lot of looks from passers-by, not that any of them paid it any thought.
"Woah look it's Kamui Woods!" Netsu gasped, as he saw the rising star of a pro hero, along with Mt. Lady and Death Arms. "Dad can we go get his autograph!"
"You can ask, but stay within sight," Izuku instructed.
Immediately, the kids ran up to the heroes and swarmed them in the way children do.
Izuku smiled as the children looked up at the heroes with glimmering eyes, it set his soul at ease.
"Yo!" Shouted a familiar voice.
"Huh?" Izuku looked toward the sound of the voice and saw Fat Gum walking up to him. "Fat Gum!?"
"Hey Midoriya, long time no see." Fat Gum greeted, as he came right up to Izuku. "Glad to see you're healthy! Man to think that little kid I saw running a food stand would grow into this. Wild."
"Yeah, I can barely believe it myself." Izuku chuckled, as he recalled the last time he saw Fat Gum. It felt like so, so long ago. Back then he only had two kids, was mildly wealthy, didn't technically have a job, and still lived in a small apartment. "So much has happened…feels like I've lived two completely different lives."
"I can only imagine." Fat Gum said, before scowling. "Hey, are you ok? No one around here is giving you any trouble because of your…condition."
"Not yet." Izuku shook his head. "Hopefully none of that will happen today, and me and the kids can just enjoy ourselves."
"Yeah, I heard about those Meta Liberation Bastards. To think someone would go through all that trouble to attack someone just because they're quirkless, unbelievable!" Fat Gum said in disgust. "Makes no freakin sense."
Izuku sighed. "Unfortunately looking at history, this is very believable. Although I wish it wasn't."
"I'll tell you what, once we find where those quirkist lowlives are hiding, I'ma make sure I take em down myself, don't you worry kid." Fat Gum told him. "You just keep doing your job, and taking care of those kids."
"Will do sir." Izuku smiled. "And…thank you for being concerned about me. I can't say I'm thrilled about what happened to my Middle School, but it was probably the right call."
"Glad you can see it, my way kid." Fat Gum said, patting him on the back. "A father needs to stick up for himself if he wants good things for his kids after all."
"You're right about that." Izuku nodded. "If I had let people walk all over me, I'd likely be dead by now."
"Bro!" Yaba shouted, as she and the others ran over to him after finishing up with Kamui Woods and Co. She and the others proudly held up their autograph books, showing the three new signatures. "Check it out we-woah is that Fat Gum?"
"Cool!" Sansan cooed.
"Dad you know Fat Gum?" Netsu asked his fire almost sparkling.
"We've met," Izuku said, blushing a bit. "He helped me out with something."
"It was my pleasure, your father's a stand-up guy after all. Can't let quirkist keep him down for something so silly." Fat Gum said, giving them all a winning smile. "Hey, why don't I give ya all my autograph!"
"Yeahhhhh!" The kids cheered.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Come one! Come all!" Ken called as he sat behind Kiba's booth with Fu and of course Kiba herself. Sense Kiba was sick, Ken would be the one doing the shouting. "Get you're signed Kiba merchandise! Meet Kiba herself! And place a pre-order for the new game by Omni Studios!"
In front of them was a bunch of Kiba merch. Figures of Kiba in various outfits. Shirts, hats, and jackets that said things like "Midoriya Army" "Follower of Kiba" and "Kiba's Faithful". Posters, mugs, and all sorts of things with Kiba's face on them.
"Lady Kiba!"
"Oh my god, she's so cute!"
"Lady Kiba I'll take ten shirts!"
"Give me a poster!"
"I love you Lady Kiba!"
"Sign my baby!"
These people are insane. Mu thought as he sat under the booth with the cash register and credit card reader.
He reached his hand up through the booth and grabbed the money that was constantly being thrown their way, before bringing it down and putting it in the cash register.
"Man this stuff is selling fast," Sori said as she leaned in the back, wearing her Kiba shirt, Kiba hat, and Kiba jacket while taking a sip from her Kiba cup. "Good thing I bought my stuff, early."
I can't believe you spent half your paycheck on something you could have gotten for free. Fu thought to himself, as he used Kyosei to take money and hand out merch.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Meanwhile, Izuku and his group continued roaming around, gathering autographs, munching on food sold at the stalls, and generally just having a good time.
Currently, Izuku was watching as his children at some kebabs, with a smile on his face until-
"Izuku!?" Cried a familiar feminine voice from behind him.
Izuku's eyes went wide, and he quickly turned around to see none other than Mitsuki Bakugo approaching them. "Aunt Mitusuki?!"
"Long time no see." Mitsuki greeted him. "Nice to finally see you again."
"It really has been a long time. I honestly can't remember the last time I saw you." Izuku admitted bashfully. "So much has happened since then."
"Tell me about." Mitsuki gave Izuku a good glance. "Damn, you're so different but…still pretty similar to the Izuku I knew."
"R-Really?" Izuku was a little surprised to hear that. He'd thought he'd changed a considerable amount since he'd become a father. "H-How so?"
"Well, you're a bit more fierce now, but I still see that determined look in you." Mitsuki started. "If anything you seem more resolute them ever, but you still have that soft look in your eyes, like you're mother's but more protective. After that, it's hard to explain. You look like you did when we last met, but more…solid. Firm. But still just as stressed, unfortunately. Although honestly, I'm a little relieved, and here I thought my cute little nephew would be unrecognizable."
Izuku blushed again. "Aunt Mitsuki. You haven't changed much either. Mentally or physically."
"Thanks. But I think I went through quite the change after I figured out what my brat was doing to you." Mistuki said with a scowl. "Some part of me always knew. With you always ending up hurt, and personality of his, some part of me figured it out but just didn't wanna accept it. Shit, I'm so sorry Izuku. I should've-"
"Even if you did accept it back then, I doubt there was much you could do." Izuku stopped her. "Even though you're his mother, you could only do so much when the world itself is working against you. Our teachers, principals, classmates, and other parents, everyone was pushing Ba-Kacchan down the path he went. And even then it was his choice to walk it. You, mom, and uncle were the only ones who treated me kindly until recently, so please don't be harsh on yourself."
Mitsuki frowned for a second until her expression quickly morphed into a smile. "Yup, still the same Izuku. Just a bit more grown up. I'm proud of you."
Izuku smiled back. "Thanks. I hope someday we can feel the same way about Kacchan."
"You and me both kid. You and me both." Mitsuki chuckled. "Anyway, I heard from Inko that you got into some business with your dad. Apparently, the bastard had some more kids and dumped them on you. Are the little dog-eared ones your sisters?"
"Yeah, thankfully the only thing they got from his was fire breathing," Izuku explained. "They're the only, and best things dad ever gave me. Hopefully, he won't try to give me anything else. At least he didn't ask me for money."
"If he tries just call me. I've been wanting to kill that bastard ever since I met him. Always told Inko he was no good." Mitsuki said in disgust. "How a kid like you is made of half of him, I'll never know."
"Oi! Hag!" Shouted a far too famliure voice, that made Izuku and Mitsuki cringe.
They looked over and saw Bakugo heading towards them, only for him to stop, when he saw Izuku.
For a couple seconds, he and Izuku just looked at each other, somewhat nervously, before Bakugo just turned around, and walked away.
Izuku breathed a sigh of relief. "I forgot he wasn't allowed to participate with his classmates, so of course, he'd be here instead of with them."
"Yeah, well looks like I better get going," Mitsuki said, as she turned to leave. "Take care of yourself Izuku, and don't let any quirkist bastards touch or the kids. And remember to invite me over sometime."
"Will do, it was nice talking to you, aunty." Izuku smiled and waved as she left.
"See ya!" Mitsuki waved back, as she headed off towards where Bakugo went off to.
After she was out of sight, Izuku looked back at the kids. So much has changed. But I wonder how much has stayed the same.
With that thought tucked away for later, Izuku rejoined the kids and went to enjoy the rest of the Pre-Sports Festival events.
And so it has begun, the calm before the storm.
Please review and have a nice day.
Chapter 167: The Sports Festival Part 2
With the pre-Sports Festival events closing, the main event would soon begin.
Izuku regrouped with the rest of his kids, and they arrived at their V.I.P. spot.
It was a special booth around the top of the arena covered with reinforced glass that would allow them to see the events of the festival just fine, but would also keep them safe.
"Kiba are you ok?" Izuku said, taking a close look at his third daughter.
"Yeahhhh." Kiba groaned. "My minions were a bit more… enthusiastic than I thought. I'm just really tired."
"Fu, keep an eye on her," Izuku ordered.
Fu nodded and helped Kiba up to her seat.
"Alright everyone, take your seats, the race should begin in seconds," Izuku instructed everyone. "Rember this glass is thick so you have to cheer extra loud if you want them to-
BRRRRRRRRRR! BRRRRRR!
"Ah, give me one moment." Izuku excused himself, as he went to the back of the room to answer his phone. "Hello?"
"Everything's good so far sir," Sai reported from back at the foundation facility. Izuku had asked her to call him every hour to update him on how things were going back at home. "All the children are accounted for, and no intruders have been detected."
"Good, keep up the good work." Izuku commended her, before hanging up. "Alright, time to enjoy myself."

It was always fun watching quirks in action.
One of the many reasons he loved his job, was seeing all the interesting uses of amazing quirks by his kids.
And right now he got yet another up-close look at the versatility of quirks.
Immediately as the race started, Ochaco, Todoroki, and Iida shot off in front of everyone else, while the other students used every trick they had to try and keep up.
Things only got more complicated as things went on, as the massive Zero Point robots were introduced.
Todoroki paid them no mind, he continued riding on his trail of ice and froze whatever robot was in his way, as well as the entirety of the floor around him.
This caused some trouble for Iida, as his legs were frozen to the ground.
Ochaco on the other hand simply jumped over the ice and used her quirk to glide over it with ease.
And so, things panned out exactly the way Izuku expected. Ochaco and Todoroki competing for first while everyone else tried for third. He'd hoped Iida might be able to rival them, if only in speed, but with so many obstacles keeping him from reaching top gear, that was likely too much to ask.
Ochaco was overall faster, however, Todoroki had an easier time getting past obstacles without losing speed.
It didn't take long for the two of them to start approaching the finish line.
They were neck and neck, and whoever fell behind now would be the one who'd be taking second place.
Todoroki covered the floor in ice, in an attempt to slow Ochaco down for even just a second, however, Ochaco saw this coming, and the moment the ice touched her feet, she smashed it with all her might, creating a massive shock wave and sending chunks of ice flying everywhere.
One of these chunks hit Todoroki in the face, causing him to lose his balance, and fall to the side, off of his trail of ice.
And with that, Ochaco's victory was sealed.
She ran into the stadium across the finish line, to roaring applause.
"And in first place is OCHACO URARAKA!" Present Mic shouted over the roaring masses.
"Yeah! She did it!" Shiruku cheered, screaming at the top of her lungs.
"Of course she did, was there ever any doubt," Kiba stated confidently.
"I'd expect no less of the girl wanting to get with our bro." Yaba smiled down at Ochaco giving her an approving look.
Izuku just sighed. "Shiruku this is getting old."
"You will never stop me," Shiruku responded smugly. "Izuocha lives on!"
"Of course, she gave it a name," Fu said, rolling his eyes.
"Keep going Ms. Ochaco! Win it all!" Netsu shouted, his fire getting more intense as he got more and more pumped up.
"Destroy them all!" Aka cheered.
The mood was absolutely jubilant in the booth, as pretty much everyone celebrated the success of Izuku's closest friend.
And Ochaco just looked up at their booth, and smiled, before giving them a thumbs-up.
Izuku smiled back and returned the gesture.
KABOOM!
A sound so loud that it drowned out even the screams of thousands of people. The sounds of multiple explosions going off across the entire city.
The ground shook as if a small earthquake was going off, and everyone went silent.
Smoke could be seen rising in the distance, and those higher above could even see buildings collapsing in the distance.
Shock washed over the now silent masses, as everyone stared up at the rising smoke with their mouths hanging open.
"Everyone please remain calm!" Present Mic said after half a minute. "It appears that something has happened outside of the arena! Do not panic, and remain in your seats."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"What the hell was that?" Present Mic whispered as he tried to process what had just happened.
Meanwhile down below, the crowd started to look worried, while many of the heroes among them sprung into action, running, jumping, or even flying out of the arena, toward the various sites of the explosions.
This included All Might and Endeavor, who immediately headed out of the arena to help out.
BRRRRRRRRR! BRRRRRRRRR!
"Huh?" Present Mic pulled out his phone and saw that Nezu was calling him. "Sir?"
"Tell the heroes not to leave!" Nezu ordered him urgently. "And evacuate the civilians!"
"What!?" Present Mic was stupefied, why did he need to tell heroes not to do their job? Certainly, there were people in need of help at the sites of those explosions.
"It's all a trap!" Nezu explained. "We need to-"
SCHOOOM!
Suddenly, everything went out. Phones, lights, everything powered by electricity simply, shut down.
"Ah, shit." Present Mic said as he looked down at his now useless phone.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"What's going on!?" Iida asked Ochaco as he ran into the stadium, with various other students following suit.
"I don't know, maybe it's another villain attack?" Ochaco looked up at Izuku's booth.
Meanwhile, Izuku stared up at the rising smoke, with a scowl. "Sori, Giza. Get ready."
"Caretaker, what's happening?" Kiba asked, getting a bit nervous. She wasn't exactly in the condition to fight.
Izuku didn't answer, instead heading over to his suitcases, and opened up the larger one.
Inside was a rifle, and a few cartridges of ammo.
"Big Brother?" Inu gave her brother a concerned look as he pulled the gun out of the case, and put the ammo up his sleeve.
"You brought a gun!?" Netsu gasped, looking at the modified rifle in shock.
"Don't worry, it's not a normal gun," Izuku assured them. "I'm not gonna kill anyone, I just need to be ready."
"Ready for what?" Alice asked, looking scared.
And then a giant shadow appeared over the stadium.
Everyone looked up and saw a massive Warp Gate open over the arena.
Then, slowly a building-sized purple start fish descended from the portal, with a massive eye in its center, staring down at all the people in the arena.
And while everyone looked up at in shock, holes opened up in the starfish, and hundreds of smaller starfish shot out of them, down onto the people below.
"AHHHHHHHHHH!"
Screams rang out among the crowd, as the starfish rained down from the sky, landed on people's faces, as others tried to run.
Izuku looked over the pure chaos that going on in front of him, he held his weapon close to his chest.
It seems like once again, he hadn't prepared enough.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Back at the Midoriya Foundation, Nise and Fuku were watching some anime in Fuku's room, while enjoying some desserts.
"Mmmmm. You need to teach me how to make these," Nise said with an elated face, thoroughly enjoying a cookie Fuku had made.
"Sure! You should taste the cookies Mr. Sato made, they were even better." Fuku told her, before turning back to the T.V., and frowning. "Why do they always do this misunderstanding thing! It's so annoying!"
"I know right!" Nise quickly agreed.
SHOOMMMMMM!
Suddenly, everything went dark. The T.V. the lights, everything turned off.
Immediately, both girls started to panic.
"What's going on?!" Fuku had to fight to keep in her gas once again. It's just a blackout. Don't worry. Nothing's going to-
And then a hand slipped itself over her mouth.
Then her gas filled the room.
And so the invasions begin.
Yeah, so I didn't really spend much time on the actual Sports Festival events, because…you've already seen them. So yeah, getting to the new stuff.
Please review, and have a nice day.
Chapter 168: The Sports Festival Part 3
Izuku looked through the glass at the pure chaos unfolding outside.
He noticed that whenever a starfish would land on someone's face, that person would seemingly go berserk, and start attacking everyone around the who didn't have a starfish on their face.
This included even some of the pro heroes that happened to still be here. Such as Death Arms, who was currently smashing everything in sight, as people ran from him as fast as they could.
Kamui Woods was both trying to restrain Death Arms with his branches and keep the starfish from falling on the people around him, by skewering them with his quirk, but it was clear he was being overwhelmed, thankfully it seemed like his helmet blocked the starfish from touching his face.
And thankfully for them, the starfish couldn't get through the glass, instead just falling onto it with a plop, before sliding off.
"What the fuck?!" Yaba shouted in confusion and rage at the chaos in front of her.
"BWAGGHHHH!" Kiba immediately started vomiting again, before passing out.
"Shit!" Sori cursed as she rushed to Kiba's side. "Lady K!? Lady K!?"
"It looks like she passed out from stress and lack of blood." Giza deduced calmly. "Fu, if you would please."
Fu immediately ran over to Kiba and forced his arm on her fangs, which automatically began sucking up his blood.
THROOM!
Suddenly the entire arena shook, as Starro landed in the center, on two of its legs.
Starro turned around, causing the arena to shake which each step until it was looking right at them.
Everyone's eyes widened with fear, as Starro winded back its right arm, and got ready to smash it into where Izuku and the others were hiding.
Izuku was about to yell at everyone to get out when suddenly, someone grabbed Starro's massive arm before it could launch forward.
"I don't think so, Patrick!" Mt Lady said, grabbing hold of Starro's arm, and flipping it over her should.
SLAM!
Starro was slammed into the ground on its face, causing the arena to shake once again.
Izuku breathed a sigh of relief. "I'll have to give Mt. Lady a personal thank you once this is all over."
Mt. Lady continued wailing on Starro, as the monster was unable to fight back.
That was until suddenly a massive flock of birds started to swarm around her face. "Agh! Get away from me you stupid- agh!"
From behind, a Sero who had a starfish on his face, attached a piece of tape to Mt. Lady's back, allowing Sato who was also under the control of the starfish, to pull her down to the ground.
"Son of a bitch!" Mt Lady cried as she tried to pull herself up, only for Jurota Shishida from class B, also under Starro's control, to slam into her face in full beast form. "Fuck!"
Shishida raised his claws, ready to tear out Mt. Lady's eyes, only for Ochaco to tackle him off of her, and onto the ground.
Then, vines grabbed onto the mind-controlled Sero and Sato, as Ibara from class B threw them to the side and restrained them.
Meanwhile, Momo and Jiro, both wearing helmets that Momo had made to keep from getting controlled by the starfish, were trying to guide the non-controlled civilians to the exits, shooting net guns at the mind-controlled civilians to restain them along the way.
However, the moment they started to get close to an exit, all the exits were suddenly sealed shut by walls of cement, the work of a mind-controlled Cementoss.
"We need to help!" Ken proclaimed immediately raising his Omnitrix, only for Izuku to grab his wrist.
"Absolutely not!" Izuku told them. "It's too dangerous out there!"
"But the civilians are being ripped apart!" Nara argued, pointing outsides at the crowds of people who were being attacked by mind-controlled heroes, students, and civilians. "If we don't do something people are going to die."
"Yes, but what happens if you go out there and get controlled?" Izuku argued back. "There are still starfish all over the place, if one of those gets on your face, do you know how much damage you could cause?"
That actually caused the children to hesitate. All of them were aware of how much damage their quirks could cause if used improperly, and they could only imagine what that monster would do with them.
"But what if someone us can't be taken over by it?" Ji asked, getting everyone's attention. "Sansan just doesn't have a face, so it'd be impossible for her to be controlled. If Ken turns into Heatblast then his face would be on fire, so he couldn't be controlled. Netsu is also on fire, and Mu hides in another dimension. I don't think those starfish things could get to them."
"That's right!" Netsu gasped. "We can go out and not get mind controlled!"
Izuku stayed silent, as he battled with himself over what to do. Part of him didn't want to have his children go out and fight again. But the other part of him knew that they could help prevent casualties, and even find a way out of here.
However his train of thought was cut off when suddenly, the door to the room was smashed open, and Ninjas armed with swords rushed in.
Immediately, Sori and Giza rushed them before they could even get close to the children.
The two of them moved at overwhelming speed, hitting the ninjas in their vital points and knocking them unconscious.
In less than a minute, they'd knocked out, all twenty assailants.
Izuku scowled. "I knew it. They were after us."
"I hear more on their way boss," Sori said.
"It would be best if we secured an escape route," Giza advised. "While this place is safe from that starfish, it also leaves us trapped in a corner. And we will eventually be overrun if we do not leave."
"Damn it," Izuku swore, as he started coming up with a plan. "Ok. Mu, have you used up any of your quirk's time limit today?"
Mu shook his head under his cloth.
"Alright, then I want you to look for an escape route on your own, and if you find one, tell the group, and help them get out of there," Izuku explained. "Giza, you do the same."
"Understood sir," Giza responded.
"Ken, Netsu, Sansan, come with me, we're going to help deal with the chaos outside," Izuku ordered, as he went to his other suitcase. "Everyone else stay here, Sori keep anyone from getting inside, once Mu or Giza comes back, then get out of there as quickly as possible. But avoid going outside where the starfish are."
"Uh, boss there are a LOT of guys coming," Sori said. "I'm not sure I can fight off all of them in such a small space. At least not while masking sure not to kill them."
"Maybe not normally," Izuku said, before opening the other suitcase, revealing some fractals, and a chaos emerald. "But with these, you just might."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Kira didn't like whatever was happening here.
First of all, someone woke her up, which already pissed her off, then someone tried to grab her, and she sliced them to pieces with her vectors on instinct, so now she'd kill'd someone again. Great.
Not to mention she couldn't see anything because the only source of light, was the bits of sunlight peaking through closed blinds, and even those didn't do much to help the visibility because the entire room was covered in fear gas.
Although it was strange, apparently this stuff was supposed to cause horrible hallucinations yet she was just fine so far.
"What's happening? Why can't I feel anything?" Said a voice somewhere, that sounded an awful lot like Nise, which should be impossible given that her mouth hadn't moved, and Kira was in control right now.
Then she looked over to her left, and saw herself, looking back at her.
Ah, there's the hallucination. Kira groaned. This was gonna suck, to say the least.
"Why is there another me!? Who are you!? What did you do to Fuku?!" Nise asked her rapidly while backing away from her.
Kira ignored her, after all, why should she pay any mind to a hallucination. So she started to move her vectors around to dispel the gas, while also opening the curtain.
Once the sunlight was in, and the gas started to disperse, Kira was now fully able to see the room.
In front of her was Fuku, sitting in the fetal position crying her eyes out quietly.
And behind both of them were sliced-up robots dressed in black ninja garb.
Oh thank goodness they're robots. Kira breathed a sigh of relief, as Nise ran over to Fuku.
"Fuku!? Are you ok!? Did they hurt you!? It's ok they're gone now!" Nise tried to reassure and comfort her crying friend, however, the girl didn't respond. "Fuku! Fuku it's ok they're gone, we're ok."
"Fuku, it's ok! I got rid of them." Kira said, pretending to be Nise.
"H-huh?" Fuku looked up at Kira, with a shocked expression. "Y-you're not affected by my quirk?"
"I held my breath before it came out." Kira lied. It'd be hard to explain she had just no idea why Fuku's quirk was affecting her the way that it did. "So I'm fine!"
"Oh thank goodness!" Fuku sobbed, feeling like the weight of the world had fallen off her shoulders for a second, before remembering something. "Wait! What about whoever grabbed me-eap!"
Fuku jumped over to Kira as she noticed the pile of robot parts behind her. "Robots!?"
"It seems like someone sent robots to try and kidnap us," Kira said, stating the obvious.
"Are these ninja robots," Nise said. "Cool."
"How did you know they were robots when you cut them up?" Fuku asked her, causing Kira to flinch a bit.
"I heard the sounds of their robot parts." Nise lied.
"Oh, that makes sense," Fuku said, immediately believing her.
"Wait why can she hear you and not me!?" Nise asked, waving her hands in front of Fuku's face. "Fuku! Fuku I'm right here!"
"So, what do we do now?" Fuku asked with a very concerned expression. "What if everyone else is being attacked too? What do we do!? There's no way Kioku or Kei could fight against robots!"
"Ah! You're right! But what can we do?" Nise asked in distress. "Neither of us can fight, and we can't open the door with no electricity!"
Kira had to resist the urge to roll her eyes. It's like she forgets how powerful our quirk is.
SCREEEEEEEEEEEE!
Fuku went ridged, at the sound of something scratching against her metal door.
SCREEEEEEEEEE! SCREEEEEEEE! SCREEEEEEEE!
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
More and more they heard things hit the metal door, and more and more the two girls started to get nervous.
And then the door dented.
Without waiting another second, Kira grabbed Fuku with one of her vectors, broke the window with another vector, and then launched herself outside with the other two.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Fuku screamed as the two of them started falling to the ground. Fortunately, she'd already used up all her gas, so her quirk didn't activate.
Kira used her vectors to dig into the side of the house, slowing their fall until they could safely reach the bottom.
Once they did, Kira immediately used her vectors to start running along the side of the house.
"Wait!? Nise where are we going!?" Fuku asked in a panic, frantically looking around to see if they were gonna be attacked.
"Somewhere we can hide," Kira explained. "The house isn't safe and without electricity, we can't get into the safe room. So all we can do is find somewhere outside and hide."
"But…the others." Fuku pointed out.
"I'm sure the bodyguards can handle it," Kira reassured her.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Damn it, how did this happen!?" Sai cursed, as she ran through the halls of the house to try and find any of the kids.
"SCREEEEEEEEEE!"
Suddenly from around the corner, a swarm of robots rushed toward her.
They were strange little things. About tall enough to reach past her ankle, and built similarly to velociraptors, but without the arms, and their entire head was just a big mouth. Both their teeth and claws were razor sharp, and deadly to most people if they got close.
Fortunately, Sai didn't have to get close.
She opened up a bunch of portals in front of her and unleashed hell. Shooting off dozens of swords per second at the ravenous robots.
The robots ran into her swords and were torn to shreds, but despite that, the hoard didn't hesitate, and continued to run straight at her, their numbers never seeming to decrease despite how many she destroyed.
"SCREEEEEEEEEE!"
Sai looked behind her and saw another swarm of these robots rushing at her from behind.
"Tch." Sai then opened up portals behind her and unleashed another hail of swords at them.
And so even more of the robots were torn apart by her swords, but despite this, Sai was now stuck, in between two massive swarms of robots.
"Damn it," Sai swore. She could only hope that Tokoshi was having better luck.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"How many of these damn things are there?" Tokoshi asked as he charged through a swarm of seemingly endless tiny robots. They weren't really any threat to him, their attacks couldn't hurt him, and he could destroy them with just one attack.
But they were really annoying, as not only did they slow him down a little bit, they even tore up his nice suit!
"Help! Help us! Please!" Tokoshi heard Eri cry, from one of the bedrooms nearby.
"Hold on Lady Eri! I'm coming! Tokoshi batted a few more robots out of the way and rushed toward the sound of Eri's voice.
When he arrived, he found the door to the room had been smashed open, and inside were Eri, Kei, and the baby turtles, with a Tigerman in front of them.
Between them was a force field, seemingly being created by the fractal that Eri was holding.
SMASH! SMASH!
The Tigerman smashed his fist into the barrier, making very small cracks with each hit.
"Sir, I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to leave the premises," Tokoshi said, as he crushed the head of a robot with his hand for effect.
The Tigerman turned around and face him, before cracking his knuckles. "Make me."
And so ends the third part. Seems like our heroes are ready to start fighting back.
Anyway, please review and have a nice day.
Chapter 169: The Sports Festival Part 4
"Damn it how did everything go to shit so fast?!" Aizawa asked as he and Present Mic ran across the corridors of the arena, trying to get outside to help as quickly as possible to help his struggling students.
"Starfish!? Seriously!? Who sends a giant fucking starfish to attack you! Who does that!?" Mic lamented as they ran. "I swear if that thing lays a tentacle on the kid I'll-AHHH!"
Suddenly a big red hand burst out from under the floor and grabbed his foot, before dragging him to the lower floor.
"Mic!?" Aizawa went to go follow Mic down the hole, but before he could, he suddenly felt something hit him on his left, hard, sending him flying.
"Aghhhhhh!" Aizawa hit the ground and started rolling across the cement floor until he hit a wall.
"You're not going anywhere Eraserhead." Said a gruff voice.
"Agh…" Aizawa stood up and looked at the source of the voice.
There he saw two men.
One was a very large dog man, covered in orange and white fur. His right arm was normal-sized, but his left arm was massive. There was probably more mass in that one arm than there was in Aizawa's entire body.
And next to him was a very uninterested, and tired-looking man in purple pajamas and night shoes, with amber hair.
"We can't let you get in the way of our plans." The tired-looking man said through a yawn. "So you're gonna have to die here."
Before Aizawa could activate his quirk, suddenly, the dog man was in front of him and punched him into the wall so hard it cracked.
"AGHHH!" Aizawa spat out blood, before sliding to the floor, stunned by the blow, which likely broke a good amount of his ribs.
"Nighty Night Eraserhead!" The dog man smirked, as he raised up his massive arm, ready to deliver a devastating blow.
PSHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Suddenly, one of the smoke bombs on Aizawa's belt was thrown directly into the dog man's face, stunning him and covering the area in smoke.
"Shit!" The dog man bellowed as he stumbled backward.
"Agh." Aizawa managed to get himself together and move over to the side.
"Mr. Aizawa." Said Mu's voice in a whisper.
"That voice, a kid?" Aizawa looked around, but despite the voice sounding so close, he couldn't see anyone.
"The one in the back can freeze you by looking at you," Mu explained. "And then the other one attacks you."
"That explains his teleporting," Aizawa whispered. "But that doesn't make this much less of a pain in the ass."
"YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Suddenly the building shook a bit, as Present Mic's voice could be heard echoing throughout the halls.
"Shit. Looks like Mic's still fighting down below." Aizawa swore.
"He's fighting Vlad King," Mu explained. "Or at least he was."
"Vlad's tough, he'll live." Aizawa shrugged. "But that means Mic should be back up here soon. I just need to wait…Kid, can you tell Mic about the situation so he doesn't come up here blind?"
"Ok, goodbye," Mu said, heading off to do as he was instructed.
"I hate having to rely on kids like that…but right now I don't have a choice," Aizawa muttered to himself.
SMASH!
"Come out Eraserhead! You can't hide forever!" The dog man shouted as he smashed the ground.
Not forever. But hopefully, my smoke bombs can let me hide just enough. Aizawa thought.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
If you asked Ochaco what to expect coming out of the sports festival, she might have given tons of different answers, depending on her mood.
None of those answers would have been, mind-controlling starfish would fall out of the sky, and make her fight her classmates to the death.
Ochaco dodged Kirishima's attack, and kicked him in the back, sending her mind-controlled friend flying.
Before she could even catch her breath, she heard someone approaching her, and once she turned around, she saw that her next opponent would be a mind-controlled Fat Gum.
Ochaco rushed forward, dodging Fat Gum's punch, and then touching him, taking away his gravity, and throwing him helplessly into the sky.
But while she doing that, it left her open for another attack.
PWEMM!
"Agh!" Ochaco cried out in pain, as she got hit in the back by one of Aoyama's blast, distracting her enough for Iida to rush her, and kick her in the stomach, sending her flying onto her back.
"Ahhh. Gahhh." Ochaco tried to pull herself up, only for one of Pony's horns to fly down and stab her in the leg, pinning her down. "AHHHHHHHH!"
Without missing a beat, a mind-controlled Shoji, extended one of his arms towards Ochaco, with a starfish in his hand, ready to add them to their forces.
KABOOM!
Until Bakugo swooped in, and hit Shoji with an explosion, knocking him away from Ochaco.
"What the hell are you doing Round Face!?" Bakugo snapped, as he landed on the battleground. "Get the hell up! The last thing we need is you going beserk on top of all this."
"Agh, not like I was trying to get mind controlled." Ochaco spat, as she pulled the horn out of her leg. She tried to stand up, and nearly fell back down again from the overwhelming pain. "Crap. She might have hit bone."
Speaking of Pony, she sent a barrage of horns at Ochaco, who had no chance of dodging with her injured leg.
Fortunately, she didn't have to, as a wall of ice came between her and the horns, blocking them from hitting her.
"We're going to get overwhelmed," Shoto said as he rushed to Ochaco's side, using his fire to clean her wound, and his ice to patch it up. "This isn't going to end until we take out that big starfish."
"Haaaaaa" Mt. Lady cried as gave Starro another punch to the eye.
"REEEEEEEEEE!" Starro cried, before using one of its arms, to grab onto Mt. Lady's arm.
"Fuck! Let go you, gross bastard!" Mt. Lady tried to pull her arm away, but Starro's suction cups kept her in its grasp.
"Well someone needs to help Mt. Tits over there because she an't doing much on her own!" Bakugo shouted as he exploded away a group of students.
FWOOSSHHHHH!
Suddenly a jet of flames came down from above and burnt off the arm that was touching Mt. Lady.
"Aww yeah! Time to feel the burn!" Netsu shouted as he descended down near Mt. Lady's head.
"A kid?" Mt. Lady looked at Netsu in confusion. She had half the mind to tell him to fly off, given that he was a kid after all. However, seeing as the situation was rather dire, she decided to just go with it. "Whatever, I don't care anymore. Kid blow a hole in that thing I will personally take care of whatever fine you get."
"Neat!" Netsu's face broke into a wicked grin, as he started charging his quirk. "Time to send you to heck starface!"
As heat built up around Netsu, Starro took notice and knew it had to take action.
"Take this! Inferno Canon!" Netsu unleashed a massive blast of fire right at Starro's eye, intent on blowing a hole right through the middle of it.
FWOOSH!
But the blast never hit its target, as a mind-controlled Cementoss, put up a thick wall of cement between Starro and the attack.
"Damn it!" Mt. Lady cursed as she looked at the partially melted wall.
PEWMMMMM!
"Ahhhhhh!" Suddenly one of Aoyama's charged shots blasted Netsu, out of the air, causing him to start falling to the ground.
"Shit!" Mt Lady swore as she put her hand under Netsu, catching him before he could fall very far, and burning her hand each second she held him. "Ow, ow, ow, ow, crap!"
BANG! BANG! BANG!
"Aghhh!" Mt Lady was suddenly shot in the eyes, by a mind-controlled Snipe, who started unloading his clip into her face. "Ow! Shit! Cut that out!"
Mt. Lady covered her face with her other hand to block the attacks, but the attacks didn't let up, Death Arms threw chunks of the arena at her, Koda sent birds to peck at her face, Shoda from class B used his quirk to throw things at her, and Juzo softened the ground under her, causing her to start sinking.
"We need to get the focus off Mt. Lady!" Ochaco said as she dodged attacks from Kirishima and Tetsutesu.
"Easier said than done Round Face!" Bakugo shouted as he blew away Sato, only for Iida to charge in and kick him in the stomach. "Agh! Damn it glasses!"
"We're getting pushed back!" Todoroki pointed out, as Kendo and Shishida broke through his ice. "There's too many of them!"
Ochaco looked at the waves of her classmates surrounding them, not to mention all the innocent people under the villain's control. Meanwhile, Mt Lady was being barraged with attacks while hiding Netsu in her hand, if he even tried to exit her palm, then he'd also get bombarded with attacks.
Something had to give, otherwise, they'd be done for.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Momo was running on fumes.
She'd managed to lead the remaining civilians to the exit, but the exit was sealed behind a wall of cement. Meaning they were all just stuck in a corner.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
She'd created multiple net cannons, to shoot out at the crowd of mind-controlled people that were charging at them, but she was quickly running out of fat to create ammo.
Jiro was doing all she could, using her sonic waves to knock back their attackers, but she could only hit them so hard, and there were just so many.
"We need to get that exit open!" Jiro shouted as she knocked back more attackers. "We can't stay here!"
Momo looked at the exit. The only way I could get that open is with an explosion, but there are too many people around.
'SLAM!
Suddenly, a mind-controlled Gang Orca crashed into the ground in front of Jiro, looming threateningly over the purple-haired girl.
Jiro only had time to look at the hero with fear-filled eyes, before Gang Orca backhanded her, sending her flying to the right into a crowd of mind-controlled people.
"Jiro!" Momo shouted in panic and fear, as the mind-controlled people grabbed Jiro, and Gang Orca walked over to her and raised his fist to land a finishing blow.
SHING!
Suddenly, a bullet soared down from above and hit the starfish on Gang Orca's face.
Gang Orca froze for a second, and the starfish fell off his face.
"Huh?" Gang Orca stumbles back for a second, very confused as to what just happened and where he was.
Then, Sansan came in, slithering between the legs of the mind-controlled masses, and grabbed Jiro from out of their clutches, before bringing her towards Momo and the others.
The mind-controlled crowd tried to follow, but then Ken dropped down as Heatblast, and shot out fire, creating a flaming wall between them.
As Jiro was taking over to Momo, Izuku dropped down, with his firearm in hand.
"Are you two ok!?" He asked, looking over them to see if they had any major injuries.
"Midoriya! What are you doing!?" Momo asked.
"Taking control of the situation." Izuku summed up. "Ken, melt a hole in that wall, Sansan, keep the masses back. You two, get everyone to the safest places you can find inside."
With that, Izuku promptly turned around and started running, Sansan creating a path by pushing aside anyone close to him.
"Where is he going?" Jiro asked, wondering what was going through Izuku's brain.
"If I had to guess-" Momo looked at the now-freed Gang Orca, who was using his strength to push aside the mind-controlled civilians. "It has something to do with that."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Meanwhile, at the very top of the arena, in one of the corners, was a woman in a black skintight suit, with pale white skin and red eyes.
"Shinigami, report. What is the status of the battle at U.A.?" Asked Karai through her earpiece.
"Nothing of significance has happened," Shinigami said with a sigh. "Midoriya Izuku is still alive and well, as are all the students and heroes. But they are being overwhelmed."
"And what about the rat?" Karai asked.
"No sign of him anywhere," Shinigami reported.
"Damn. What about the Midoriya children? Have we acquired any of them yet?" Karai asked.
Shinigami cringed. "About that…all the soldiers we sent to attack them, have been defeated."
"What!? How is that possible, we sent hundreds of our best men!?" Karai shouted in shock and outrage. "What happened!?"
"I haven't been able to figure that out, because I'm stuck out here, maintaining the illusion, and keeping the other heroes ignorant of the situation." Shinigami explained. "However one of them managed to report something a second before he was taken out. Something about an invisible monster."
"Invisible monster…we don't have any reports of the Midoriya Foundation owning something like that." Karai mused. "Either way, our main priority is that rat and the death of Midoriya Izuku. I'm sending more men now. I'll also be sending IT to take care of that monster."
"Very well." Shinigami was about to ask how things were going over at the Midoriya Foundation grounds when she felt a presence approaching. "I apologize, there is someone I have to take care of."
As Shinigami ended her transmission, she heard someone land behind her and immediately threw a Kunai at them.
BOING!
The Kunai bounced off of thin air, and the Gentle criminal was unharmed, as he glared fiercely at his opponent.
"I suppose you must be the reason why no heroes have noticed this commotion yet," Gentle said.
"And what if I am?" Shinigami asked.
BOING!
Gentle wasted no another word and immediately made the air behind his elastic, before bouncing off of it and heading towards Shinigami at alarming speeds.
Shinigami readied herself for his frontal attack, but just as Gentle was in front of her, with a bit of maneuvering and use of his quirk, he rebounded, over and behind her, before kicking her in the back, into some elastic air, bouncing her back towards him, where he then kicked her to the side, sending her rolling across the floor.
As she rolled, Shinigami got to her feet and slid to a stop. "Not half bad, it seems you're more skilled them expected, Gentle criminal. Although I could have sworn you said you didn't like violence?"
"I don't," Gentle said, with a dark look on his face that would make most people shiver. "However, one of your starfish landed on the face of my dear La Brava, and now she has lost control of herself! If the only way to get her back is to put an end to this farce, then so be it. I will not show you a shred of mercy."
"Fighting for love, how touching." Shinigami mocked, as she got into a fighting stance. "Unfortunately, this isn't a fairy tale, so the power of love won't save you. I'll be ending your life, here and now."
