(Rick's Pov)

After the whole fiasco at the cafeteria, the morning classes finally ended. It's exactly 12:50 PM now.

Hero training time.

"For today's hero basic training, it's turned into a class with three instructors, All Might, me, and one more person." Aizawa said on the podium.

Weird elbows raised his hand, "Excuse me! What'll we be doing?"

The teacher showed us a white card with a light blue 'RESCUE' written on it.

"Disasters, shipwrecks, and everything in between. It's rescue training."

The class voiced their awe in a 'oohhh'.

"Rescue… Looks like it'll be a lot of work this time, too." Electric boy voiced.

"Right?" Pink girl replied.

"Idiot, this is the duty of a hero! My arms are ready to rumble!" Red hair said in his usual ever pumped-up mood.

"No one can beat me in water, ribbit."

"Hey, I'm not done." The beggar hero said, "You can decide if you want to wear your costume or not this time."

He pressed a button and the wall opened, revealing the metal boxes which contained the hero costumes.

"Because there are probably costumes that limit your abilities, too. The training will take place off-campus, so we're taking a bus. That is all. Start getting ready." Eraser Head finished.

"SIR, YES SIR!" I saluted.

The class grabbed the hero costumes, went to the changing room, put them on, and stood outside the 'H' shaped building to get the bus.

Ochaco approached Izuku, who as always was busy talking to himself inside his mind, "Oh, you're wearing your P.E. clothes. Where's your costume?"

"They got ripped up during the combat training, so I'm waiting for the support company to fix it." He explained.

Anyway, now it's time to play my role as the class president!

"MAGGOTS OF 1-A! MAKE A STRAIGHT LINE TO THE BUS IN HEIGHT ORDER! TALLER PEOPLE FIRST IN THE BACK SEATS AND SMALLER AFTER ON THE FRONT SEATS!" I yelled with my hands behind me, just like sergeant James did to me. I'm making you proud, sergeant!

"Why taller first and on the back seats?" Iida raised his hand, always inquisitive.

"BECAUSE TALLER PEOPLE OBSTRUCT THE VISION OF THE SMALLER ONES! SO, THEY ENTER AND GO TO THE BACK! AND NOW, FOR INTERRUPTING ME, DOWN AND GIVE ME TWENTY!"

"W-What?" The engine-boy stuttered.

"ARE YOU DEAF?! DOWN AND GIVE. ME. TWENTY!" I ordered.

After the boy finished his push-ups, we entered the bus and our trip commenced.

"Bro, I have to say, U.A. is pretty damn big. Having to take a bus to go from one place to another…" I chatted with the greenette.

He looked at me and said, "Yeah, I think I'll never get used to it…"

Soon after people started their own conversations.

"I say whatever comes to mind. Midoriya…" Frog girl started.

"Um, Yes, Asui?" The fanboy replied, ever awkward.

"Call me 'Tsu'."

"R-Right…"

Oh yeah, Japanese people have that weird stuff about calling their names in all kinds of forms. This stuff is way too complicated for something that should be a name call. I'm sticking to my nicknames. Simple, memorable, easy.

"Your Quirk is like All Might's." The girl inquired right on the nail.

I could almost feel Izuku clenching his butt in such a way not even wi-fi could pass through.

"Huh?! Y-Y-You think so? But I'm… uh…" The boy fretted over his seat, trying to find anything to escape the subject.

An escape which came in the form of a red-haired maggot.

"Wait a sec, Tsu, All Might doesn't get hurt when he uses his. They just kind of look the same."

Izuku sighed in relief.

"But it's nice to have a simple augmenting-type Quirk. You can do lots of flashy stuff!" The rednette continued, "My [Hardening]'s strong against others, but unfortunately, it doesn't look like much." He finished, showing his now hardened and sharp-edged arm.

Am I the only one who thinks it's funny his Quirk is about hardening? I would crack sex jokes all the time, and no one could deny me otherwise. What are they gonna say? That I'm soft? Pfftt…

"I think it's really cool! It's a Quirk that can definitely pass as a pro's!" The fanboy fanboyed.

"A pro's, huh? But you have to think about popularity as a hero, too, you know." Hard-core guy pointed.

"My [Navel Laser] is pro-level in both flashiness and strength~☆" The Frenchie joined in.

"But it's not great that it gives you a stomachache." Pink girl replied, making the boy embarrassed.

"Well, if you're talking about flashy and strong, it's got to be Todoroki, Bakugo, and Rick, though, huh?" Hard-guy (I'll never get tired of this...) turned his head to the back of the bus, where the delinquent and Elsa were, and then at me, beside Izuku.

"Bakugo's always mad, so he doesn't seem like he'll be popular, though." Frog girl spoke facts, angering the short-fuse maggot.

"What the hell! You wanna fight!?" He stood up and yelled.

"See?" She pointed at the boy, like an animal in a zoo. Pretty funny.

"We haven't known each other that long, so it's amazing that everyone already knows his personality is crap steeped in sewage." The electric-boy roasted the explosi-brat.

"What's with that vocabulary, bastard?! I'll kill you!"

"So he knows words outside of swearing…" I joined the fun with my own burn toward him.

Izuku is trembling in his seat, hands on his head. It was almost as if he was having a reality shock…

"What a vulgar conversation." Yoyo commented with a hand over her mouth…

"Noble words for someone who is dressed like Midnight's successor." I replied, casually roasting the thot. The class hissed at my burn.

"Sheesh, pal. I get that you aren't fond of her, but she has a family too." Electric boy told me.

"We're here. Stop messing around." Aizawa put an end to our banter.

"""Hai!""" "SIR, YES SIR!"

The place was a dome-like structure, with huge doors. A weird figure that looked like an astronaut was there, waiting for us.

"Everyone, I have been waiting for you." He/She said. I have no idea what sex this person has, the voice is too weird and radio-like. Her costume doesn't help either.

"It's the Space Hero: Thirteen!" Izuku exclaimed, "The gentlemanly hero who has rescued tons of people from disasters!"

"Oh, I love Thirteen!" Gravi-girl declared, visibly excited.

"Let's go inside without delay." The space hero spoke.

"""Look forward to working with you!""" The class said in unison.

As we entered, we could see an immense place with at least four different biomes, and a huge staircase to go down to them. It had a wrecked city biome, a mountain biome, a red dome with flame patterns, a lake biome, and a blue dome with cloud-like drawings.

"Wow, it looks like Universal Studios Japan!" Someone blurted out.

"A shipwreck, a landslide, a fire, a windstorm, et cetera—It is a training ground that I made with different types of accidents and disasters. It's called the 'Unforeseen Simulation Joint', or U.S.J. for short!" Thirteen proclaimed in a pose.

"""It really is U.S.J….""" The class voiced in unison again. Mindworms…

"Thirteen, where's All Might? He was supposed to meet us here." Aizawa asked the other hero.

"About that… It looks like he did too much hero work on his way to work and ran out of time, so he's resting in the lounge." The space person whispered back.

"That's the height of irrationality." The beggar stated, "It can't be helped. Shall we begin?"

"Let's see… Before we begin, let me say one thing… er… or two, or three… or four… five… six… seven…" Thirteen said, the students sweatdropped at the scene.

"Everyone, I am sure you are aware of my Quirk, [Black Hole]. I can suck up anything and turn it to dust." He/She revealed.

Is every Quirk here in Japan so prone to destruction? The hell, a freaking black hole!

"You've been able to use that Quirk to save people from all kinds of disasters, right?" The greenette said, Ochaco nodding at the explanation.

"Yes, but it is a power that can kill easily. Some of you also have Quirks like that, right?" The space hero continued, "In a superhuman society, personal Quirks have been certified and stringently regulated, so that doesn't seem to be a problem at first glance. However, please do not forget that there are many Quirks that can easily kill with one wrong step."

"With Aizawa's physical fitness test, you found out about the possibility of your own hidden powers, and with All Might's person-to-person combat training, I think you experienced the danger of using those powers against others. This class is a fresh start. You shall learn how to use your Quirks to save people's lives. You do not have powers so you can harm others."

"I hope you leave here with the understanding that you have powers in order to help others. That is all. Thank you for listening." He/She ended her speech, bowing to us.

The class praised the hero in applauses and bravos. It was a pretty good speech.

"All right then, first—" The homeroom teacher was cut off by a lightning sound. The U.S.J. lights suddenly went off, and the same shiver I felt earlier in the cafeteria came back in full force.

A purple vortex appeared in the center of the dome. A head filled with hands grabbing onto it appeared from within the mist, with red eyes.

"Gather together and don't move! Thirteen, protect the students!" Eraser Head said to him/her.

"What's that?" Red hair asked, looking at the horde of people coming through the portal.

"Enemies." I answered back, summoning my [Stock Rocket Launcher], [Mantreads], and [Concheror]. Is this a test? Aizawa's shock was too real. Dammit! I hate this kind of doubt.

"Is this like the entrance exam where the lesson already started?" The hard guy voiced the question bubbling inside every student.

"Gather together and don't move! Thirteen, protect the students!" Aizawa said, revealing the nature of the invaders.

"Those are villains."

The class gasped and trembled as they watched more and more people coming out of the portal. My grip on my R-Launcher became heavy. I had never faced a true threat. Not even in J.A.M.S.

Can I truly hurt someone? Not pull back anything?

Can I kill someone?

I can't lie to myself. This situation is giving me sinister vibes. Why would a group of villains of this many numbers, coordination, and a rare portal type quirk user of all things invade the U.S.J.? Why now? This is way too much firepower for a pitiful target such as us. Unless…

I looked over my shoulder and saw my classmates and teachers. Perhaps one of them is the target? The teachers are out. It makes no sense to attack them here and not on a patrol. Do we have a son or daughter of a bigshot? Yo-yo is my first guess. She is rich. Maybe a little too rich for her own good… But All Might was supposed to be here, no one would dare-

Wait.

Oh fuck.

Fuck, FUCK, FUCK!!!

Their goal is All Might!? How!? He is almost invincible. Almost…

I instantly remember his injury in his chest and the time limit. Shit. Do they know that? That is the only explanation possible. They have a real chance to take on the number 1. At least they have the confidence to do so. Either way, this means they have a weapon. A very powerful weapon. Strong enough to risk going against him and the other pro heroes, even one that can erase quirks.

My train of thought is interrupted by Eraser Head.

"Thirteen, start the evacuation. Try calling the school. These villains even had something to counteract the sensors. It's possible that someone with a radio-wave-type power is interfering. Kaminari, try contacting the school with your quirk, too."

"Yessir." The boy answered and pressed his hand on his headgear. His frustrated face told us all we needed to know about the results.

The teacher narrowed his eyes and put on his goggles in resolution. "I'm leaving it to you, Thirteen."

His stance told me of the madness he was about to do. Jump and face an army alone? That's stupid, even more when there is a portal type with limitless mobility. I couldn't allow it. Not for his sake, but for our sake.

I grabbed his shoulder and forced him to the ground.

"Rick, what are you doing?"

"Eraser Head. Do not let the pressure get to your head. Be rational. If you go now, we will be exposed to the portal mist user. We know nothing about him, but the reach of his ability is enough to travel at least miles and enough to transport over a hundred people. If he targets us, we will be at his mercy."

I could feel the tension of his legs relax and his fists clench. I released his shoulder and continued.

"We need you here to be our lighthouse, especially focusing on mister misty."

"Someone needs to go down there and fight the villains to stall for time. Thirteen is not a fighter and too deadly, and you students are out of the question." He answered with bated breath.

I can only imagine the pressure he is feeling now. His hands are tied. But it doesn't matter at the end of the day. There was only one way for our survival.

"Aizawa, I'm taking command." The teacher opened his mouth, but I cut him off. "This is WAR. In war, PEOPLE DIE. You say that someone needs to go down there to fend them off, fine. It is true. But we need you here. If you are not here, we DIE. We need all firepower possible. I don't care about morality. Morality means crap when you are dead."

He was too stunned to respond. Good.

"We are not students anymore. We are soldiers on a battlefield. And you are underqualified to shoulder their death. You can't stop me, and you can't leave here until that portal user is out. Stop thinking as if you have options. You don't. They will fight, or they will die. It's simple, really. The tricky part is how we go about it."

I let my words sink in for a moment. Everyone is in shock as reality came upon them.

"But fear not. You have me. I have military training. I have a plan. I have guts. I am a soldier. Follow me and I assure you that your death will be at least honorable instead of you dying like a chicken to them. Aizawa, what do you say then? Be quick though, the villains are marching rather excitedly toward us." I glanced at the army below.

The beggar stared down hard at me. "You realize what you are saying, right? The responsibility of leadership. Each of their lives will be on your hands, and it will haunt you forever should you fail." I nod seriously. "We will follow your words for now. But I will make my own judgments when the need arises. Got it?"

"Affirmative." I voiced with absolute certainty.

"Well." He looked towards the incoming mob. "What is your plan then?"

I couldn't help the psychotic smile from growing on my face.

"Have you ever played attack/defense?" [1]

(Tomura's 3rd Person POV)

Today is a good day. Well, almost.

He was done doing the side quests and now was finally progressing the main quest.

Killing All Might.

But, as if the game was mocking him with paywalls, gacha, and absurd chance events, he was not here.

"Thirteen and Eraser Head, huh? The teacher's schedule we received the other day said that All Might was also supposed to be here."

Kurogiri, his most useful party member of ultra gacha rarity of 5 stars, shiny, maxed-out stats, and custom skin, that his sensei crafted for him, stated the obvious yet again.

"Where is he? I went through the whole trouble of bringing this whole crowd, too…" He muttered while scratching his neck in stress. "All Might… The symbol of peace… I can't believe he is not here. I wonder if he'll come if we kill some kids?" He wondered out loud.

They looked like just enough EXP for him to level up too. They are even standing all together there for him, shaking in fear. How nice of them to do that. He hates chasing and grinding the most.

Oh, they are also having some kind of infighting? He sees Aizawa getting yelled at by someone else. Now that's fun.

"Well, well, let's kill the mobs and see if the boss will spawn." He said and as he was about to order his army to attack, something happened that stunned him.

The long staircase that led to the door was completely frozen in smooth ice, making the staircase into a ramp.

And that was not all.

In the hall at the top of the stairs, a big ice wall was erected. The wall had some gaps akin to narrow and weird windows.

"Kurogiri, stop this nonsense right now. I'm not playing tower defense." Tomura said and his neck scratching became even more intense.

"Yes, Tomura." Kurogiri narrowed his eyes and stood still, nothing happened. "It seems Eraser Head is blocking my Quirk, young Tomura."

The hand villain looked at a newly formed tower within the walls, Eraser Head laying there on a chair with a bored face that irritated the shit out of him.

"That's it! Nomu, kill—"

*BOOM*

A loud sound came from upstairs as a black blur went up in the hair and fell down at the bottom of the flight of steps in an arc, exploding like a pressurized gas tank.

Was that a mortar?

A second later, everyone near the stairs was falling one by one.

Invisible knock-out gas?

To put the cherry on top, he could see the same man that was previously arguing with Eraser Head falling down with a parachute towards them and wearing a gas mask, together with others that also wore the same mask.

"Give 'em hell boys!" [2]

That was all he heard before he had to take cover behind the Nomu as volleys of rockets fell down at them.

»»—-[☆]—-««

(Rick's POV)

[Operation: Frozen Trump], was a success.

It consisted of using Zuko's wannabe ice emo powers to create a fortress to protect us and a wall to keep the immigrant- *cough*, villains from crossing our border, a ramp to wreak their mobility, and a tower to boot too for Aizawa become our proper lighthouse and focus on stopping the greatest threat yet.

The purple guy. [3]

As long as they take care of him, things will get simpler. And it will free Aizawa to support them against the possible anti-All Might weapon they might have.

So, I divided the class into 3 groups.

[Defense]: Those who would stay inside the fortress.

Yo-Yo, whose hacks will be abused senselessly. Creating a mortar, grenades, snipers, anything for her and the others who have useless quirks to this situation like the tail guy, the animal speaking guy, yada yada.

The tentacle multi-arm guy would be Aizawa support, making eyes on each limb to track everything possible and report to Aizawa.

Ochaco will use her Quirk on the bullets to make them lose their weight and fly faster, supporting Yo-Yo in any way possible.

[Escape]: Those who would leave.

Thirteen would destroy the heavy locked door behind them with her Quirk and Iida would run to call the chivalry. Thirteen would join team defense soon after that.

Godspeed, you magnificent bastard. [4]

Glasses complained about some useless thing regarding cowardice, but a shovel to his cheek was enough to put reason back into him.

[Attack]: Those who would battle the villains head-on.

Me, as the bomber drone. With my [Rocket Jumper], [B.A.S.E. Jumper], and [Air Strike] combo, I'll show them how terrifying U.S.A.'s aerial support is.

My bro, Izuku, will take care of the small fry, and should things go south, he will be our glass cannon. A 100% smash of his is a force to be reckoned with.

Explosive bully will be our heavy hitter. Not only is he a savage fighter with equally matching Quirk, but with his support gloves, he can store his sweat and make a beam of pure destruction. His focus will be charging both gloves as soon as possible. I'm sure they will be necessary.

Zuko's twin brother will also join us, as soon as he recovers from using his ice too much.

I told him to defrost himself like he did to that building in the battle trial, but he said something about not being possible. Is this like a limitation of not using his quirk on himself? I didn't have the time to be trapped in this.

Yo-Yo said she could make heat packs, so there's that.

Electric guy would be our second glass cannon. He releases everything he got, fries everyone around him, and becomes mental. Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

Raven wannabe fanboy with his shadow, together with red hair, would be our shields. They will be responsible for extracting anyone out of trouble and taking a hit for the team.

Sugarman would be our brawler. More muscle never hurt anyone. He would be a good counter to mutant types. They were mostly physical, and he has a 10x strength multiplier. Fire against fire.

Invisible girl would be my trump card. My master plan.

She would stealthily make her way to the portal user and use the imperceptible knock-out gas bomb that was stored in her mouth (Hey, it was either that or her asshole) to become invisible with her and take him out.

The rest of the students would stay inside the ice castle, and listen to the radio Yo-Yo made to each of us. They might be our last stand.

Now all that was left was to defeat the enemy.

"FOR AMERICAAAAA!" [5]

»»—-[☆]—-««

(3rd Person POV)

Rick, together with the attack squad, arrived at the bottom of the stairs wearing their gas protection masks. Thanks to the mortar and the occasional shots from the guns Yo-Yo made, a safe perimeter was already formed down there. The soldier turned to his followers one last time.

"Okay, boys. You know the drill. Last one alive, lock the door! Ha ha ha!" [6]

His squad wasn't as enthusiastic as him about their very possible demise, but they followed through anyway.

Rick went up in the sky and bombarded them from above, with an occasional missile thrown at the guy full of hands and the portal guy, just to keep them busy a little. The blue monster beside them, however, tanked the projectiles like they were nothing. Alarm bells rang in his head, but he had to take care of the mob first.

Izuku was zooming through the goons easily. It seems that they did not have any meaningful speed type quirk. With his dodges and jabs, he was like UFC fighter going ultra-instinct.

Bakugo, with an utter disregard towards life, blazed his way through them. One woman with hair stretching power tried to grab him, only for him to grab the hair back and melt them with the heat his palms generated, giving her that Mad Max haircut.

"Get a haircut, hippie!" [7]

Rick yelled at her. It was just too right for him to pass up the opportunity for a voice line right there.

Kaminari just touched everyone like a game of tag and electrocuted them to 'sleep' instantly. He was not perfect though. In his power high he let his guard down and was grabbed by a frog looking dude in a hug-lock.

Thankfully, Tokoyami's shadow punched the amphibian and freed him.

Kirishima showed he had a good head on his shoulder as he saw that his Quirk made him bulletproof towards the enemy's shooting Quirks. He went after them and kept all their attention to himself, allowing his friends to be bolder on the battlefield.

Sato ate his candy and rushed towards the mutants, but met his match with a four armed one with a black and blue face. His Quirk, sugar, made his IQ drop in exchange for physical prowess. As he was stuck against him, their arms pushing against each other, dumb Sato for the first time while under the effects of his Quirk used his head.

Literally.

He headbutted the guy relentlessly, like a mad gorilla, until the guy's face truly became black and blue. (ba dum tss).

There were some hiccups here and there, but they (except Bakugo) helped each other to get out of them and go back into the game.

Rick had a smile on his face seeing his plan coming to fruition. But a voice grabbed his attention.

"What's up with these students, Kurogiri? They are so vicious. Is this what a hero is nowadays? It's pissing me off. First All Might is not here, and now a bunch of brats is beating my party?" The hand man said to his bartender ally.

"They are golden eggs after all. The best of the best. Perhaps we underestimated them a bit too much. What will you do, Tomura?" The portal user said to the now identified leader of this invasion.

"I wanted to save it to All Might, but, oh well. Nomu, kill them."

Rick's hair stood up as his instincts flared. Kirishima, who was the closest to the monster as he went deep into the mob to attract their aggro, was completely unaware of his impending doom.

[RED HAIR! HARD ON. NOW!] He yelled at the comms to his friend, shooting a rocket from his [Rocket Jumper] at him to try to get him out of the blue frankenstein's way.

"What?"

That was all Kirishima could utter as a massive hulking fist came towards him like a comet, so fast that Rick's rocket couldn't even reach him in time.

*BAM!* *WOOSH* *CRASH!*

All the students could only see was a ragdoll flying through the air and hitting the middle of the stairs with rock breaking force. The impact raised a cloud of dust, making the fate of their manly friend unknown.

An eerie silence prevailed on the battlefield. All of them, junior heroes and villains alike, were frozen at the show of strength.

Strong.

Overwhelmingly strong.

Too fast to be seen.

The weapon to kill All Might made his debut, and the villains cheered as the student's morale hit rock bottom. To make matters even worse, Eraser Head must have lost sight of the portal villain as portals opened and brought even more villains to the U.S.J.'s plaza.

»»—-[☆]—-««

(Rick's POV)

No words could describe the pit that formed in my stomach. The helplessness.

That thing was faster than All Might was in their spar. And it didn't pull its punches.

He was going to kill all of us.

Maybe he already killed red hair. His condition was a mystery. Part of me didn't want to check and see what was left of him, let alone if he was alive.

All because he followed me. My orders.

I failed him. I killed him.

I should have been the one at the front. It should have been me.

'Soldier! You do not have permission to die! Not until you marry a hot chick, have children, and all that crap. That's an order!'

My father's words suddenly appeared in my head. Repeating itself like a mantra.

Right. The fight is still not over yet.

[RETREAT! Electric boy! Use everything you got and taze everyone while the rest fall back!] I yelled at the comms to each member, one by one.

[Yessir!]

[Elsa! Bring your ass here we need you, NOW!]

[Alright!]

[Shadow bird! As soon as Denki stops you grab him and fall back too!]

[Okay!]

[Izuku! Get ready to smash!]

[Yes!]

[Dynamite! how are your gloves?]

[Ready to murder!]

[Invisible! Continue your part of the plan!]

[O-Ok!]

[Eraser Head! Even if we die, do not lose sight of him again. We were lucky that he did not target us and only brought reinforcements, and that your recovery was quick.]

[It won't happen again.]

[Thirteen! Did Iida escape?]

[He did. I'm coming to you.]

[Perfect. We need all firepower we can get. Yo-Yo, cover our retreat with everything you got! Worry about ammo later!]

[Yes!]

[Anyone who is available, check on red hair and bring him upstairs. Now. Move, move, move!] [8]

As the junior army followed my orders, I stared at the anemic looking hand villain while gliding in the air, analyzing the situation from above.

The mortar shells rained upon the villains together with rubber bullets. Giving my friends time to fall back and group together.

[Invis. Are you in position?] I muttered to the radio.

[I-I am behind the target.] Hagakure whispered.

[Good. Put the bomb on the ground slowly, press the button, and get out of there to a safe place.]

The girl did as told and the two villains masterminds were soon under an invisible fog of untraceable knock-out gas.

Since you took one of ours, it's only fair we take one of yours too. Maybe even two. He always paid back with interest after all.

As soon as I see the sign of it working in the form of the hand-man having trouble standing up, I glide towards them and fire 8 rockets without delay to them with [Air Strike].

The blue abomination moved in front of them and tanked the rockets. Tch.

'Know your enemy and know yourself and in a hundred battles you will never be defeated.'

A light bulb went off my head.

The monster seems to protect 'Kurogiri' and 'Tomura'. Maybe I can use this to lock it in place.

After all, he doesn't seem to know how to fly.

As I equipped my [Mantreads] for extra air mobility, I heard the mastermind, now on the ground as the drug's effect progressed, say words that would haunt my dreams for weeks.

"NOMU! KILL THEM! KILL ALL OF THEM! MAKE THEIR BODIES UNRECOGNIZABLE!" The villain spat full of hatred, just before he fell unconscious. The purple guy, struggling to remain afoot, carried his colleague and walked towards a fake building.

He is trying to leave Eraser Head's vision! My plan!

As I was about to make my move, a dark blue blur appeared right above me in the blink of an eye. Two arms clenched together and going downwards like a hammer on a nail.

I took all the boulders I stored in my inventory when I was testing the limits of my inventory with my bro out to block the strike and used my [Panzer Pants] taunt to summon a mini tank around my body as a makeshift defense while using my air movement to move out of the way.

Yet, his fists tore through each of them instantly like a mockery at my struggle.

*POW!* *CRASH*

I saw black for a second and felt the cement under me be pushed out as my back was used as a drill. It was a new kind of pain I'd never felt before. The skin of my back was burning like fire as if it was scrubbed right off, which might be exactly what happened. My bones made popping sounds, and I was blind from the dust cloud around me.

I immediately go out of the hole I was in and rolled to the side.

*BOOM*

The abomination stood just where I was. With a swipe of his arm, the dust was pushed out and he got sight of me.

But I was already in the air a long time ago. And this time charged with my [Crit Boost Mode: 3x] and under the speed boost of my [Concheror] that I blared just now. [Mantreads] were ready to rock.

[Rick! Are you alright?!] I heard Aizawa and others yell in the radio.

[Back from the dead and reporting for duty!] [9]

[Rick. The target is out of my sight with the other. I'll be joining the fight.] Aizawa said as he slid the ice ramp stairs.

[Affirmative. Erase this monster's Quirk too while you are it.] I said as I barely dodged a leap from Frankenstein who was trying to swat me like a fly. I tried shooting him as he fell to the ground, but he simply did not care.

[I'm already erasing his Quirk. Somehow, he is just that strong.]

What? Fuck me! These guys really want to kill All Might!

[What about the others? Are they in position? And Kirishima?]

[Kirishima is alive but is in critical condition. The rest is taking care of the small fry.] He replied.

I couldn't contain a sigh of relief at the info. He is alive. For now.

We need to finish this fast.

[Elsa! Freeze hulk over here! Immobilize him! Dynamite! Give him your gloves too!]

[Got it.] Zuko 2.0 replied. [Tch!] The bully scoffed but still followed.

As the blue brute fell on the ground again from trying to get me, a glacier covered him whole, curtesy of iceman who just arrived.

"Mwah ha ha ha ha!" [10]

I couldn't help the sight of his frozen ass stuck there. Not so scary when he is trapped, huh?

*crack* *Crack* *CRACK* *CRACK*

… I spoke too soon.

"Freeze him again, now!" I ordered my classmate who made even more ice to encase the figure. He was panting and his breath was visible due to cold. He can't keep this up for long.

[Bro! Thirteen! Come here! We need more firepower!] I exclaimed to them as the ice continued to crack over and over again.

[[Coming!]] They answered in unison.

Todoroki fell on his butt, gasping for air and shaking from frostbite. I equipped the bully's gloves and aimed one of them at the monster.

As soon as the ice broke, I fired.

A beam of pure fire and shockwave exploded from the grenade bracers. I struggled to keep my arm steady and my eyes open. It was bright, hot, and loud. (A/N: Just like your mom.)

When the release stopped, the figure stood there with his arms crossed. His skin was scorched to a black and some parts even showed his muscles, but the creature acted as if it was nothing. And when I saw it grow back, I understood why. I need to find out how to stop it. An idea began to form in my head.

[It has super regeneration! Aizawa! Try to cancel his Quirk again! Do not stop until I tell you to!]

[Alright.]

I fired the other glove without hesitation. I saw the fruits of my experiment as his skin became scorched and ripped yet again. But this time it did not regenerate.

Eureka!

[Do not blink, Eraser! You stopped his regen!] I yelled at the pro hero.

And just in the nick of time, the greenette and the he/she arrived.

"Rick! Todoroki! What do I need to do?" My bro zoomed right beside me as I threw the bracers off my wrists and to the ground. Thirteen was following right behind him.

"Keep him busy in any way you can, I recommend throwing him up. He can't fly. I'm gonna charge my ultimate attack in the meantime. Thirteen, carry Elsa away from here and return as soon as possible!"

""Un!""

I equipped my two [Cow Mangler 5000] and started charging.

Izuku ran right towards the beast and-

"DETROID SMAAASH!!!"

Gave an uppercut that sent it towards the air, almost reaching the ceiling of the dome. He started falling as I heard my R-Launcher cracking in plasma and activated [Crist Boost Mode] to 10x, a multiplier I had yet to dare attempt.

It's time.

"Time to inform your next of kin!" [11]

"[Cow Mangler 5000: Double Charged Shot Tenfold]!!!"

The two exotic energy-vortexes shot forward in blue and red with such force that both Manglers broke apart. I could only watch the tornados join together in a white storm of plasma as they reached their target.

The energy raced around the beast, electrifying and carbonizing his being and vaporizing bits of it. Yet, as a testament of its might, it roared in defiance and denied its death again.

He landed with a stomp powerful enough to cause an earthquake, leaving nothing but rubble in its wake.

A fist I was becoming increasingly familiar with appeared in front of me yet again, and I was too dizzy from the 10x [CBM] to react.

Dammit.

"SMAAASH!!!"

This yell was like music to my ears as Izuku punched with his unbroken arm the monster's kidney, launching him to the side and away from my face, right towards the man-made lake of the U.S.J.

The greenette looked over me with his arms red and bruised, a despairing look marred his face. "Rick. What now? Kaminari is out, Todoroki is too cold, Kacchan's gloves are empty, and my arms are broken. What do we do?!"

He is right. We are out of options. Thirteen is powerful, but his/her body is not. Izuku is smart, right? Maybe he has something. Please have something.

"We need to immobilize that behemoth for Thirteen to disintegrate. But how the fuck are we supposed to do that?! Guess Elsa will need to let it go and die freezing him."

Brozuku started his trademark muttering spree. "Sero can shoot tapes, but they are too weak for this… Tsu tongue too… What about Yaoyorozu? No, too far away… Wait, Ochaco! She can null his gravity and make him float!"

A smirk appeared on my lips. Perhaps the game is not over yet. Although…

"But how are we going to bring her close to him? It's the same problem with Thirteen."

"Not exactly. Ochaco only needs a single touch of her fingers to activate and maintain her Quirk, unlike Thirteen who needs to continuously use it." He explained.

That might work. But we will need serious speed to pull this off. Iida is out, and Bro's arms are broken.

If only I had a pocket heal-

Wait. I have!

It's gonna suck though.

"Bro, you are the only one fast enough to pull this off-"

"But my arms are-"

"Let me finish, dammit! I know that, and I can fix it."

"How?" He inquired.

I pulled my [Concheror]'s conch. Thankfully it had reached full charge again. Hitting that monster over and over served for something at least.

"When I blow this conch, everyone around me will get their movement speed boosted, and will be healed about 35% of the damage they deal, But only for 10 seconds." I revealed.

The boy's eyebrows went up in wonder and fanboy astonishment but quickly furrowed. "But who am I gonna damage? The villains are too far away."

"I know. That's why I'll be your sandbag."

"Eh?" He looked at me blankly.

"Enough talk. This is the only way. Either this or death! I have a promise to keep. And dying is gay! Now, punch my face! Just like before U.A." [12]

Izuku showed his unwillingness for a few moments before I cut him off by blowing the conch. "10 SECONDS! NOW OR NEVER, PUS-"

*POW!*

Izuku kicked my head to the side, making me lose my spit. His arm color changed a little, and he must have felt it too by his face.

When the 10 seconds were over, the greenette had kicked the shit out of me and I was on the floor. Not because I was out of commission, but because the maggot even kicked my nuts at the end! And much to my chagrin that healed his arms back in shape.

"N-Never talk about this to anyone, you hear me?!"

Izuku nodded while trying way too hard to hide a laughter. You'll see your payback back in training…

I grabbed the radio and pressed the button. [Gravity girl! Thirteen! We need you here now! We have a plan and we need you both. Hurry! We don't have enough time!]

[I'm coming!] [Me too!] They both answered.

As soon as they arrived, I explained the plan to them.

Gravity girl was rightfully afraid, but it seems that Izuku got more jazz than I thought as he promised to protect her and she blushed away her worries.

A big splashing sound broke my mood as the blue zombie jumped out of the lake, looking right at us menacingly. His very presence put pressure on our shoulders.

Especially when the maggot got out of the water completely healed.

Fucking dammit! Eraser Head couldn't see him underwater!

As the monster got closer, we put our plan in motion.

Our last stand.

»»—-[☆]—-««

(3rd Person POV)

Rick stood with the others as they gazed at the enemy.

With a nod to the others, he used his [Rocket Jockey] taunt and summoned a giant rocket under him which he rode like a cowboy towards the monster at incredible speeds.

The monster punched the rocket, exploding it in a cloud of smoke, but not before Rick had jumped off it and rolled forward, maintaining his momentum and direction towards the creature.

He activated his [Crit Boost Mode] at the normal 3x multiplier and equipped his [Reserve Shooter] and [Panic Attack] shotguns, the two faster and deadlier shotguns in TF2, and shot a volley of pellets into the smokescreen.

The Nomu jumped right off the smoke towards where the bullets were coming from. But unexpectedly, his attacker was not there. Only a bunch of grenades from his [Kamikaze] taunt.

*KABOOM!*

The abomination quickly recuperated and blew the smoke away. As he regained his vision, he could see a barrel right in his left eye.

"Gotcha, crouton." [13]

*BAM!*

The creature roared at the loss of his eye and immediately went berserk.

The soldier knew the risks and his role as the bait, and so he premade a response in the form of a repeat of last time.

A mini bumper car from the [Victory Lap] taunt materialized around his body as he fled using his natural air maneuverability and [Mantreads] while simultaneously summoning all his weapons in front of him as a makeshift junk shield. A last-ditch effort to survive the incoming impact by obstructing its vision and reducing the damage by following its force.

The blue hulk had none of it though. His arm went through the arsenal wall, through the vehicle, grabbed the boy's torso with his massive hand instead of the expected punch, and smacked him to the ground with all its strength. The cement made its way to the body and carved its way into the earth like a shovel.

The hole was deep enough for Rick's body not to be seen on the outside and caked with enough 'red' to become grave.

Dig your own grave was never more relatable to Rick.

As the monster roared at his victory, did he realize that he was not on the ground anymore.

He was floating in the air.

His eyes locked on the boy with green hair holding a girl, who was now supporting him as he had a broken leg.

"RICK!!!" Izuku yelled at where his friend was buried, yet all he received was silence.

Thirteen was shaken by the events too, but now it was her role in the plan.

The space pro hero used her [Black Hole] Quirk and started to disintegrate the Nomu in the event horizon at her index finger.

The berserk warrior screeched as his arm right was sucked into the singularity. Even though it was an artificial being that was no longer 'alive', the Nomu still retained his survival instincts. He struggled in the air, trashing around with no direction.

In one of his attempts, he kicked his legs with all their strength, resulting in a gust of wind from the kinetic pressure that pushed him towards the ground. Right into Thirteen.

As the beast grabbed the floor like a horizontal wall climber with its remaining hand, he used his legs to tackle Thirteen like a bull. As the astronaut hero stared at death itself, bands of cloth wrapped around him/her, pulling her out of the reaper's scythe just before disaster.

"Aizawa! You're here!" Thirteen yelled in joy at her fellow hero teacher, who grunted in acknowledgment.

"DOUBLE DETROID SMAAASH!!!"

Izuku yelled as he hit the enemy with an upward punch using both his arms. Since they were not fully healed, he had to use both to make a force equivalent to a single 100% one.

The monster hit the ceiling of the U.S.J., still under the effects of [Zero Gravity]. Giving the junior All Might time to fall to the ground, all his limbs broken and completely exhausted. His legs were sacrificed to move Ochaco and to reach the Nomu in time, and his arms were gone to send it away to the sky.

"ROOOAAAARRR!!!"

"… Impossible." That's all Izuku could say as the beast jumped from the top of the dome right towards them. He couldn't move. Rick was most likely dead. Eraser Head and Thirteen were no match and Ochaco's Quirk did nothing in the end.

All cards were on the table.

Game over.

Izuku took one last look at his doom and closed his eyes, tears falling like waterfalls. "I'm sorry All Might. I'm sorry Rick. I failed you everyone."

As the roars got closer, he resigned to his fate.

*Pew!*

A short, sharp, and concentrated sound zoomed in for a single second.

Izuku opened his eyes to see the Nomu split into two at its waist. The two body parts fall left and right and away from them.

He looked to the side and saw a familiar knight with French heritage.

"Monsieurs, Madames, what's the matter? Never seen a hero this shiny~☆?"

Aoyama Yuga appeared with all his glitter splendor to save them, holding a rectangle glass-like contraption right over where his belly emitter belt would be.

"Miss Yaoyorozu is quite the genius to make me such spectacular apparatus, indeed~☆" The French said as he paraded to them with shaky steps. It was evident that he reached his Quirk's usage limit and his stomach was rumbling.

A monstrous bird-like roar echoed in U.S.J., making everyone turn their head to see the upper half of the laser-cut Nomu crawling towards them at fast speeds, an incredibly disturbing sight.

"I-Is he immortal?!" Ochaco started shaking at the bisected being staring back at her.

The beggar hero looked at the being charging at them, and then at his colleague, grabbing her shoulders and forcing her to look straight at him. "… Thirteen. You need to kill it."

"What?! I-I can't! I'm a rescue hero." She exclaimed, her hands trembling.

Thirteen was a hero with a troubled past. Her previous explanation to 1-A class about the dangers of Quirks didn't come from just an obvious observation. No, it came from experience. A very gory experience of a child who was still learning the use her power.

She disobeyed her parents and played with her Quirk around the house, disintegrating the leaves of some decorative plants. Her dad saw this and went to scold her, startling her as a result and she made the involuntary reflex to turn at him, her finger still holding a singularity.

Her father lost his entire right hand that day, and the house was never the same. He was never the same to her. It was her fault. It was all her fault. She should have listened to them. She didn't though, and now her father was an amputee.

She swore to use her power to save others. To put such destruction to rescue others. And so, Thirteen was born.

"… Thirteen. Look over there." Aizawa pointed at the hole a few meters away from them. The hole was red like someone spilled a can of red paint erratically. "Rick is in there. He might not even be alive, Thirteen. Kirishima's the same. Don't make their sacrifice in vain. Don't make your hesitation kill the rest of us. My eyes are already at the limit, it's going to regenerate as soon as I blink. Besides…" He glanced at the 'thing' one more time. "… That can't be human."

The space heroine spun around to the monster, facing him. She took a deep breath, and with a shaky stride, she started walking towards it. Her steps became firmer as she steeled her resolve.

'It's not human. Anan Kurose, you got this. Just like killing a chicken for a meal. Just put him to sleep… forever.' The woman psyched herself for the deed she was about to commit.

Anan thought of a super move a long time ago. Never really went through with it though. It was just too dangerous.

Her metal gloves opened at the end of each finger. Each had a black hole, making it an impossibility that defied the very physics known to man.

"[Black Hole: Decimal Horizon]."

The berserker's atoms were sucked one by one. It tried to launch itself with its arms at her as one final stand, but it only served to accelerate its doom. Before it even reached the heroine, the beast was gone.

Everyone stood there looking where the monster once was. It was almost unbelievable that it was actually gone. Their subconscious expected a sudden revival of the creature. Yet, nothing happened.

They won?

They won!

Ochaco was the first to snap out of it. Tears fell from her face, but she was smiling. A smile that turned into a giggle and full-blown laughter. They were alive. They won.

Izuku smiled at the sight of the girl. Aizawa released a tired sigh. Thirteen just stood there, seeing where the monster once was. A million thoughts spun in her head.

"... Why do I feel like I forgot something important?" Midoriya wondered out loud to the sky, and one by one the people there realized just what-

Just WHO they had forgotten.

[Author Notes]:

Hey hey people! It's your boy!

So, what did you guys think?

I tried to make this fight as realistic as possible. I find that most, if not all fanfics always make some unreasonable stuff in the U.S.J. battle.

Like for example:

How would anyone know about Todoroki's past? Or even that he could use fire? Until before U.S.J. (cannon) he only showed his ice powers and the ability to melt it, which one could assume to be not the emission of heat, but simply a power he had to unmake his ice. Yet, the MCs just pull some JoJo level guessing that he has daddy issues and fire powers without even knowing his Quirk's name.

Rick just assumed that Todoroki couldn't use his Quirk to melt the ice and cold on himself, like a limitation. Especially since that no one would expect someone to hold back in such a crisis. The fact that Todoroki did not use his flames against the Nomu in the cannon just shows how rooted his trauma is. No one could guess that.

Now, about Kurogiri resistance to the knock out gas. He is a high-end Nomu. An artificial being. I think is safe to assume he is just built different.

About Aizawa continuous slip ups with his Quirk. Just think about it. The moment he can't see the opponent, his power turns off. Something that fast, that again and again was inside a cloud of dust that it raised with each major impact, and even did stuff like almost kill his students?

Yeah. Erase is a good Quirk. But very, VERY, limited.

What did you guys think about Thirteen's background? I think it suits her. Her Quirks reminds me of Eri a little. They are both incredible dangerous.

Now, let's talk about the Nomu.

How the Nomu was sent flying so easily by Izuku? His Shock Absorption was turned off by Aizawa at those moments. Also, since Shock Absorption is a subtle power that can be mistaken for others, no one in 1-A guessed he had it. In the cannon material, Tomura had to reveal its existence for us to know.

It's easy to simply lump this resistance as just a part of the Nomu's mutant biology/Quirk.

Let's remember that everyone can only have one Quirk. A rule that is absolute. You can't just guess that he has multiple Quirks. It's more reasonable to assume he has one Quirk with many effects, and guess from there. Another bullshit many fanfics do wrong in this part.

Also, I think Uraraka's Zero Gravity should be a last resort. When you have so many destructive Quirks at your disposal, you would first use them. THEN, you would start thinking out of the box. Zero Gravity's power is not so obvious, and it would take a while for someone to realize it. Another error many fanfics do.

Another thing. Canonically, the Nomu can use air pressure from his attacks just like All Might. How Zero Gravity can stop that? In MHA, when you are strong, you basically can step on air. Don't confuse Zero Gravity's power. It's not all mighty.

And what do you think of the Nomu? I tried to make him the absolute unit he is. The anti-symbol of peace. An unkillable monster. Really, if Tomura had just one more brain cell, 1-A would be dead right then and there, let's be honest.

The most illogical thing here is how Aizawa let Rick take charge. Something that it was necessary or else I would have to make the genocide of 1-A.

I wanted to put the aftermath in this chapter too and make this like 15K+ words, but I choose not to. I think the cliffhanger at the end was just chef's kiss. 9K+ words should be enough, no?

Also, I was thinking of first putting 5 chapters on my┃🔴 before releasing them here, but I think I owe you guys this chapter for a long time. I have shame. Sorry for the wait. 😓

And remember to give me your power stones! I want this fic to reach the top 100. I think it deserves at least this much. Not because of the update schedule *coff* *coff*, but because I know the quality is unmatched. I revised this thing with multiple grammar corrections, re-watched the anime and manga, and everything really.

Remember to post reviews and comments. They make my day.
