Chapter 11

The four teens retreated back to the staircase landing. They were discussing what their next course of action should be. 

"All Might's a Pro. He instructed us to leave, we should do as he says. We can't go against his will." Said Momo with a frustrated look.

Any logical person would've agreed with her statement. But not Izuku and Bakugo. The green haired teen was chosen to be the successor of One for All for a reason.

And Katsuki, as brash and aggressive as he is. He chose to be a hero for a reason. And for someone like him who dreamed of surpassing All Might, he couldn't find it himself to just leave those people alone even if it meant going against the words of his idol.

"We can't just leave them." Said Izuku with a serious expression.

Momo shot him a frustrated look, "I know! My mother is there! But we don't have our hero licenses. If we fight, it would be breaking the law! Not mention we haven't even attended a hero school yet! We aren't properly trained to fight villains!"

"Quirks are allowed to be used freely on the island," said Bakugo as he turned towards Melissa, "Am I right?"

Melissa nodded with an uncertain expression, "Yes, but, we've never experienced a villain attack before. So I don't know."

"Meh," Bakugo shrugs, "That's good enough loophole for me."

"Now hold on just a minute! We're not fighting!" Momo exclaimed. "I really wanted to help! Trust me I want to! But there's only four of us versus the...unknown number of villains in the Central Tower!"

"We don't have to fight." Said Izuku.

"We don't?" Bakugo looked disappointed.

Even Momo was a bit taken aback by Izuku's words. She actually thought that she need to convinced him a lot more.

"No we don't. We just have to call some help from the Pros around Island." Izuku turned towards Melissa, "Is there any way to contact the outside?"

Melissa bit her lips in frustration, "There is. But I'm afraid it's almost impossible. The security here rivals Tartarus where they kept the most dangerous villains around, and the tower is on its highest level of security. It's nearly impossible to send a message, much less leave. We'd have to shut down the system for that, and that's on the top floor."

"You're right, that's nigh impossible." Said Bakugo before turning towards Izuku, "So what's the plan?"

Izuku bit his thumbnail in concentration. "It's hard, but...it's the best chance we have. If we get the system to shut down, we can contact other heroes and get more help. We'll have to discreetly climb the tower and avoid fighting as much as possible. Everyone in?"

Bakugo smirks, "You know I'd follow you. We can't just leave the people here. Leaving people behind is not something I'll do."

Melissa nodded with a determined smile, "I can help shut down the system once we reached the top floor. I doubt any of you knows how it works."

All eyes then turned towards Momo, who sighed and massage her forehead before giving them a rather shaky smile, "You know...I'm really afraid right now. But even so, I wanted to help. I wanted to save them!"

Izuku smiled, "I don't think any of us here doesn't feel fear. We are just teenagers who's about to face an unknown number of villains with guns. If we mess this up, who knew what will happen."

He then extended his fist forward, "But...Heroes always risks their life to save people! And right now, we are the only one who can help everyone here on the tower."

He looked at his friends in the eyes, "The enemy's number are unknown. All Might is captured. There's only four of us. We are in a great disadvantage. But so what! Heroes are the one who will always find themselves in disadvantage, but still managed to save the day anyway! What's that saying again...Go beyond..."

Bakugo smiled and bumped his fist, he was followed by Melissa and lastly by Momo.

"PLUS ULTRA!"

All Might was struggling keeping up his muscled form. He was already coughing a few times, he had to swallow back the blood he coughed up just to hide his secret.

'I hope the kids are sa—what!?' His eyes widened when he spotted Izuku looking down at him from above, 'That look...shit! Shit! He's not planning on doing what I think he's going to do right?'

One look from his successor's eyes was all the answer he needed, he moved his hands to send a message, 'Fuuuck! Don't! It's too dangerous! Just leave the tower!'

Izuku shook his head and answered, 'I'm sorry. But I can't. I know it's dangerous, but I just can't find it within myself to leave you all alone without even doing anything!'

'Young Midoriya! Stop! Please! Don't endanger yourself!'

Izuku smiled, 'Don't worry. Just wait for awhile and we'll free you. We'll accept any punishment after we saved everyone.'

With that, he ran away.

'Shit!' All Might cursed, 'It's far too dangerous! And I knew that I should punish them for disobeying an order but...'

He grinned, 'What the hell! If you leave now without doing anything, then you wouldn't be called my successor aren't you!?'

He took a deep breath as his muscles seems to grew a bit more bigger, 'I'll just have to keep this form a little longer and hope...no, and wait for the time when they released us!'

'We're counting on you! Fledgling heroes!'

"So?" Bakugo glanced at Izuku who returned from talking to All Might. "How much trouble are we in?"

Izuku smiles, "Dunno. But I do know that All Might has readied himself for when we release them." He then turned towards Momo, "Ah, by the way Momo, what's your Quirk?"

Momo opened her hand as a plastic knife appeared on her palm, "My Quirk is called Creation, it allows me to create any non-living materials in exchange for my lipids as long as I understood the object's molecular structure."

"Whoa," said Izuku as poke the plastic knife, "That's so cool! No wonder you got in through Recommendation! That Quirk sure is powerful! Hey, I wonder if you could—"

"Not the time nerd," Bakugo karate chop Izuku's head, stopping him from talking any further, "We need to move. We're wasting time here. You can gawk at her Quirk later."

"That actually hurts," said Izuku as he rubbed his head, glaring at his bomber friend, "but you're right. We don't have any more time to waste."

He turned towards Melissa, "We'll follow you Melissa. You're the one who knew more about this tower than any of us."

She nodded before taking off her heels, "It's hard to run in these," she gave a sheepish smile.

She then searched her pocket and took out two wristbands similar to Full Gauntlet, just blue in color and put it on her foot. She then tapped its button and it expanded, transforming into a pair of blue, and mechanical looking boots that reaches her knees.

"Cool." Said Izuku as he stared at it with stars in his eyes, "What does it do?"

Melissa smiled proudly, "Enhanced speed, limited flight, and enhanced kicking power."

"So cool!"

"Thank you." Melissa grinned, "Now, follow me! I know the ins and outs of this tower! Since I was a child, no one has beaten me in Hide and Seek when I'm inside!"

With that, she turned around and bolted towards the stairs.

The trio stared at each other before following after her. Truthfully, they were a bit shocked by the display of speed. But it's nothing they can handle.

"Oh! I forgot to mention," Melissa turned towards Izuku and the others, "During enhanced security lock down, all unlocked security doors are monitored. So don't open it or they'll know where we are."

"Right!"

"Got it!"

"Just hurry the fuck up!"

Melissa nodded and face forward, 'Just wait papa, uncle Might, everyone! We'll definitely save you all!'
