Chapter 8: Ear-Breaking Defeat
After thinking he had allowed one of his students to be killed by the villains who invaded this meant-to-be lesson unannounced, All Might felt like he had lost some of his pride and right as 'The Symbol of Peace'.
However, after the loud entrance from the boy, who looked very different, All Might couldn't help but show a small smile which strained his body which was losing its strength, "Y-Young Kurama..." He wheezed, "You look... different-"
Before he could react and move, All Might's eyes widened as he felt a strong foot plant itself on his cheek, sending him off the ground and flying away from the central plaza towards the Flood Zone.
"All Might!" Midoriya shouted sorrowfully, a few tear drops falling from the corners of his wet eyes as he watched his Mentor crash land near the boat in the Flood Zone, a large wave forming which crashed into it and almost flipped the boat over.
"Oh my?" Tomura raised a brow, a smirk on his face, "A betrayal from one of the supposed heroes? What a plot twist-" The man raised his hands, clapping four fingers against the palm of his other hand.
"GRRAAAAA!!" Kyushiro snarled barbarically, raising his hands before they fell back down to the ground because of gravity.
"OW!-" Tomura and the others grimaced from a sudden heat which erupted from the ballistic beast's hands and feet, violet-coloured flames shooting out from his body which aimed to hit everyone around him.
"Hmp!" With a huff, Todoroki dropped down and placed his right hand on the floor, producing a thick wall of ice to protect him and his three classmates beside him.
"Kurogiri!" Tomura shouted, the heat getting to him as he began sweating buckets, his body burning and getting hotter as the flames approached him.
Kurogiri, who grunted due to his metal bracing beginning to melt, leapt forward with his purple mist body, sending the flame through his warp gate into the sky outside of the USJ.
Unfortunately for him, Tomura's right arm managed to be burnt by a small bit of the violet flame which Kurogiri missed, "FUCK! KUROGIRI, YOU IDIOT!" He screamed, falling down to his knees as he grasped his burnt arm with four fingers, "FUCK!" He cried in agony at the searing pain, quietly running to the Flood Zone to dip his arm in the water.
"Crap..." Todoroki frowned, his eyebrows furrowed as he saw his ice melting quickly due to the heat of the flames, 'It's hot... probably, as hot if not hotter than HIS flame...' He squinted his eyes out of anger, the scar on his left eye paining a little from a certain memory of his he wished to forget about, "Step back!" He called out to his classmates, stepping back as well as he placed his right hand on the ground once more and produced many layers of thick ice walls.
"Grr-" Kyushiro growled once more, his ears twitching as he jumped out of the way of multiple bullets which were aimed towards his limbs in order to immobilize him, "Gr?" Though, as he jumped out of the way and supposedly dodged the bullets, they changed their trajectory and went towards him once more
As he was mid-air, the unconscious Kyushiro couldn't do much except take the hits with a grin.
"Hm?" Snipe, the owner of the bullets, a hero dressed as a stereotypical Western cowboy, his face covered by an old-school tan gas mask, couldn't help but be startled as his homing bullets were actually dodged at first, "I know they're one of my weakest bullets, but that's a shocker..." He mumbled to himself
"PRESIDENT OF CLASS 1-A, TENYA IIDA!! REPORTING FOR DUTY!" The boy shouted loudly, announcing his return with the teachers of U.A. high school standing beside him coolly.
"Tch, game over, stupid Kurogiri" Tomura punched the ground with his non-injured hand, standing up from dipping his hand in the Flood Zone and standing beside his escape route, "It's time to go"
"Understood-" Suddenly, the purple mist villain felt himself and his master, Tomura, being sucked in by something: Thirteen, the hero who was presumably defeated instantly in the beginning.
"I've got you...!" The hero chuckled weakly, pathetically crawling on the floor as they used their quirk in order to suck up Kurogiri.
"Nuh uh" Tomura wagged his finger, "Try again next time, hero" And with that, the two villains made their escape, leaving behind their fodder recruitments.
"We've got a wild beast on the loose, it seems" Midnight playfully stated, her and the other pro heroes and teachers/staff members of U.A. (Present Mic, Cementoss, Snipe, Ectoplasn, Power Loader, Vlad King, Hound Dog, and Nezu) walking down the stairs calmly towards the wild Kyushiro, defeating and handling the other no-named petty villains with ease.
"So not cooollllll!" Present Mic slurred, raising his arms and pointing at Kyushiro, who looked at them whilst on all fours, his saliva uncontrollably dripping from his mouth which fell onto the floor loudly.
"GRRR!" Hound Dog growled.
"I think he said something along the lines of," Nezu spoke, on the shoulders of Vlad King as he sipped some tea from his little cup, "This building isn't big enough for the two of us animals"
"Gr?" Hound Dog looked at the Principal in confusion, "No", refuting his words that weren't said.
"I guess not" Nezu shrugged his shoulders, taking another sip of his tea as the teachers began to idly chat, forgetting about Kyushiro in front of them as Midoriya, Bakugo, Todoroki, and Kirishima hurriedly made their way back to their classmates by the others of Vlad King, "Don't speak of this to any of your classmates" Nezu ordered them, his face serious, "If you do, you may be expelled" He threatened, earning nods from the boys.
Somehow, the students were too worried about escaping and trying their best to not piss their pants to look at the Central Plaza and notice their classmate going berserk mode (Plot). Additionally, a few police cars had arrived and escorted the students outside of the USJ.
"GRRR!" In a similar manner as before, Kyushiro growled intimidatingly as he raised his hands off the ground before slamming it back on the ground, a wave of violet flames shooting towards the teachers.
Wordlessly, Cementoss stepped forward and placed his hands on the ground, a thick wall of cement forming in between the teachers and the flame which stopped it, "Midnight" He called to the Rated-R heroine.
"On it" Ripping part of her clothes, the woman raised her arm and produced a violet mist with a soothing, sleep-inducing aroma which slept Kyushiro before.
"Hufff" Inhaling deeply, the nine-tailed fox boy blew the mist away from him and back towards the teachers, who hurriedly covered their mouths until Midnight recalled the mist to prevent her fellow staff-friends from sleeping on the job.
"You guys will have to distract him so that Midnight is able to catch the boy off-guard and put him to sleep" Nezu stated, finishing the cup of tea before throwing it away strongly and shattering the glass loudly, "As expected" The principal scoffing as he watched Kyushiro's ears twitch ever so slightly,
"Present Mic, this is all you" Nezu nodded towards the blonde, shades-wearing hero who smiled and nodded in return.
"You got it, boss!" The man stepped forward dramatically, doing a little too much in his walk as his fellow teachers couldn't help but sigh, "Everybody! Gimme a-" Present Mic took a deep breathe, saying his words in English,
"YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" The man's voice increased to an insanely loud level, a strong and yellow shockwave heading towards the untamed fox as he grasped his bleeding ears, whimpering innocently as he fell to the ground and squirmed into a small ball.
"Aww... I almost feel bad" Midnight covered her mouth, "Then again, seeing a man as handsome as him looking so weak and pathetic is kinda cut-" The woman flushed.
"Midnight." Nezu spoke, his tone as deep as it could go, even though it was still relatively high, "Not the time." He shook his head, telling the loud English Teacher to tone down the volume a little, "We don't wanna break the boy" He stated, turning to the woman, "Midnight"
"Yes yes" She stepped forward, releasing her aroma once more which the boy successfully inhaled, putting the beast to a calming sleep, his form dissipating slowly as he shrunk down to his previous self, "HUAAAHHHHH!" The woman gasped loudly, her gaze stuck on the singular white, fluffy tail which remained on the boy with eyes full of want.
She pounced forward, attempting to hug the living daylight out of the tail, but was un(fortunately) prevented to do so by Vlad King who grabbed the woman by her collar with a frown, "That's enough out of you..." The man then turned to Nezu, "Seriously, how is this woman not on a list yet?" He wondered.
"She's, surprisingly, a good teacher" Nezu shrugged, earning a sigh from the homeroom teacher of 1-B, "Vlad King, would you take the boy to Recovery Girl?" He asked the man, earning a nod from the teacher as he picked up the unconscious Kyushiro, "And remember..." Nezu's face then turned serious, his mouse-face shadowed, "Not a word of this to anyone except the boy's parents, is that understood?".
Though the teachers were unsure of what had Nezu so on edge, they simply nodded in agreement as they trusted the dog-mouse-bear with their lives, "Good" Nezu nodded, his friendly smile returning to his face, "Now, we should really go help All Might, shouldn't we?"

"17...18..." Detective Tsukauchi, a tall man with short, black hair wearing a tan overcoat and matching hat, counted the number of students in front of him with a smile, "Good. Except for one of you heading to Recovery Girl, looks like you're all unharmed" He announced.
"I wonder what happened to Kurama..." A few students wondered, causing Bakugo, Kirishima, Todoroki, and Midoriya to jolt at wanting to say something, but having to keep it to themselves by the order of Principal Nezu.
"What about Aizawa Sensei?" Asui asked, with the detective answering that Aizawa doesn't have brain damage, but his eyes may suffer long-term loss of vision. As for Thirteen, their life wasn't in danger but they're recovering in a hospital. And All Might's injuries weren't life threatening necessarily, but his injuries won't be healed with simply Recovery Girl's quirk, so he was also admitted into a hospital to recover - though, he should be out soon (The hospital was a private one, which had someone healing him that knows of his identity - with the support of Recovery Girl as well, who will go there after school to assist the doctor in recovering All Might)
"Your teachers will be fine" Principal Nezu stepped forward, easing the wary looks of worry from the students of Class 1-A, "As for your classmate, Kyushiro Kurama, he's currently recovering in the school infirmary after being injured by a villain" He lied, "But seriously, we need to revamp our school's security system" He stated
"Though, teleportation quirks a really rare" Midnight commented with a sigh, "Shame that they had to go and turn villain..."
The police then informed the detective that they had successfully captured the Nomu which had been defeated by All Might unharmed, and not resistant to the arrest.
- Meanwhile, in the school infirmary -
"Urrghhh..." With a long, raspy groan, Kyushiro woke up after what felt like a multiple day sleep, "Where am I...?" He asked himself, looking around the room until his eyes landed on an old, short lady seated in a chair looking at him with a smile, "Ah, it's you" He remembered the woman from the entrance exam, arriving right at the end to kiss the examinees and heal them.
"Your welcome" The elderly woman chuckled as she saw the boy apologise with a seated bow, "It's just a joke, don't worry" She waved away his concern with her hand before moving the chair forward, "Do you feel any different?" She asked, her face serious as he fingers intertwined with one another, "Other than your bandaged ears" Which needed some time to recover from Present Mic's ear-breaking attack (Quite literally).
"Not that..." Kyushiro lifted his arms up "I can...", and then let them fall down, "Think offFFFF!" He then looked behind him, down towards his bottom, "I HAVE A TAIL!? WHAT THE FU-" He shouted, earning a light smack from Recovery Girl's walking stick.
"Language" She told him off, before laughing, "But yes, you have a tail now... do you remember what happened at the USJ?" She asked.
"The USJ?" He looked up at the white ceiling, trying his best to recall the events, "Well, I was late to school... then I saw Iida running from the USJ, so I ran there because I figured something was off..." Recovery Girl nodded, taking notes, "Then All Might appeared and punched the door open... then there were these villains... the main one being something called a... Moo-moo?"
"Nomu" Recovery Girl corrected, lightly chuckling at the error of the boy, even making a small side note where she wrote 'Moo-Moo' in brackets, "Anything after that?"
"After that..." He crossed his arms and squeezed his chin with his thumb and index finger, closing his eyes in concentration, "I got punched by the Nomu, then I blacked out. After that, I don't remember anything..." Kyushiro looked down, his face sad as he looked at Recovery Girl with a face full of expectations, "What... what happened to me?"
Recovery Girl closed her notebook, moving her chair back in place with a spin as she took a quick call, "I think it's best if your parents and Principal Nezu spoke to you about that. Come in!" The lady called with a shout.
The door to the infirmary opened, revealing Principal Nezu enter the room first, and behind him a man and woman; Kyushiro's father and mother.
Appearing after Nezu was a tall, handsome man with slicked-back white hair tied into a small ponytail, an intimidating glare on his face (Though, that was just his natural resting face) with his red eyes looking at his son with worry [Image]
Behind his father, a fair-skinned, beautiful and slender woman with violet eyes, and long, straight red hair which reached her shins ran past both him and Nezu, arriving beside Kyushiro's bed and giving him a big bear hug, "M-Mom...!" He pat her back, his face losing it's colour as he pat it harder and faster [Image]
"Honey!" With a sigh, Kyushiro's father ran to the mother-son pair and pulled his wife by her arms, attempting to free his son of the tight hold.
"MY BOYYYYYYYY!" His mother cried loudly into his chest, staining the blanket and his chest with her tears, "HONEY! YOU'RE KILLING HIM!"
"..." From the side-line, Recovery Lady and Nezu looked at each other, blinked, looked back at the Kurama family, back at each other once more, and then thought to themselves simultaneously:
'What an interesting family...'
