Fighting and Stalling

'Hehe, I'm in danger. Kirishima chuckled at his situation.

-Thwack!

Kirishima avoided a stab and moved in with a jab, leg sweep, and front kick, stomping the villain's face. He was quick about it, knocking the villain out.

Another appeared behind him. His two hands were metal drills. "Die!" He screamed and stabbed Eiji's back!

-Skrrrt!

The drill screeched, unable to get through his defence, "Ah fuck." The villain stepped back, his drill cracking. Eiji took the chance to get close, grabbing him and throwing him over his shoulder.

-Bam!

He looked up around the burning building, seeing two more villains remaining, one with Venus flytrap arms and faces and the other with guns for fingers.

"What's with this kid!?" the gun guy said, stepping back and blasting his fingers.

The hit against his body did nothing; on instinct, Kirishima turned back, punching the space behind him. His fist connected with something.

He charged, kneeing the invisible figure, and dived in, grabbing the villain and crushing him with a suplex!

"Nothing you guys can do will take me down!" He slammed his fist and charged at the other remaining guy. The gun guy moved back, constantly shooting at him, and the other also went in for close combat.

...

"Aizawa, we have a situation. One student, Kirishima, has been transported to an unknown location. We don't know what To do this, we also have the teleporting Kurogiri villain captured, but he refuses to answer." No. 13 spoke to him through an earpiece.

-Bam!

Eraserhead kneed another villain in the face before flipping back, tangling another up, pulling him in, and punching him in the face.

'I'm too busy dealing with these goons, and 13 cannot help searching herself...'

"First evacuate the children. Keep Bakugo on the teleporter, and ah!" He dodged his fist and counted with a leg sweep before stomping the villain's face.

"Take care of them first, then come back and search for Kirishima," He grunted, facing off against more villains.

On the other side, the Midoriya and Mina who heard the conversation shook their heads and said, "No, we can't leave him out there; didn't you hear he's out there with villains running around hunting him?"

"No. 13, we can defend ourselves and go look for him. Please let us know. We can't stand back and watch this! Kirishima didn't; he acted almost immediately, and now he's out there and needs help!"

...

-Bam!

Kirishima crashed through a wall. He coughed. On the other side was a mutant villain with grey, rocky skin and four arms.

"Urgh," he grunted, got up, spitting blood with a deep breath, and slammed his fist, going bulletproof. "Come on!"

He kicked off, charging at the man!

...

"Whether you allow it or not, I'm going down there," Todoroki said, beginning to walk away. "They came here with a plan, and that guy," he pointed to the Kurogiri, "wanted to separate us and feed us to wolves, meaning any of the disaster areas are filled with villains waiting for us."

"I'm going with you!" Mina said as the others shared a contemplative look before nodding.

"T-this is crazy, guys, but you're right," Mineta gulped, clenching his fists.

"No. 13 was at a loss and contemplating. This goes against the teacher's conduct, but we don't know how much time it'll take for backup to arrive.'

"Alright, I understand your reasoning, so listen carefully," 13 said, drawing everyone's attention.

...

"Hah, huff!" Kirishima kneeled outside the building, huffing. He looked behind him, seeing the villain from before through a wall and unconscious.

With a deep breath, he got up and started moving. 'I think this is the zone of the ruins,' he said, looking around as the name suggested. He saw destroyed buildings around him. The fire in the one he was in died out.

"DIE!" A wild shout came from behind him. A green-scaled villain appeared with a metal bat. He swung it, smashing him in the back of the head as a loud clang echoed throughout the area. "Finally, he's- what!?"

Kirishima only bent down slightly from the force. "Look at your bat," Kirishima said, pointing to the weapon bent the other way.

"I'm not going to act like that didn't hurt, because it did. If it was anyone else, they would've died or gotten hurt," he chuckled, blood spurting from his forehead, "hurt like a bitch."

...

Back in the central plaza, Aizawa was maintaining his fight, but 'with so many villains, it had to be planned.'

"Aah!" a villain screamed behind him as a wave of ice flowed, freezing half the villains in the area.

"Todoroki, you were told to evacuate!" he shouted.

"There's been a change of plans," he said as Rikido dashed beside him towards another villain. "Sugar rush!"

He shouted, bombarding them with his fists.

"We've split into groups and taken the quick passages to the zones, trying to find Kirishima ." Todoroki said, looking ahead, "Everyone is looking for him."

Aizawa huffed, kicking a nearby villain in the face before tying him up and throwing him into someone else. He was about to bind another villain when tape soared past him, doing the job for him.

"I'm here too," Sero said, binding the villains that Rikido was beating up.

On the other side of the plaza, Shigaraki was scratching himself. 'No, no no! This isn't how it's supposed to go! Black mist failed, but they're going to call for help, so Allmight must be on his way.'

"Nomu, take care of them."

The brained monster screeched, drawing everyone's attention! It disappeared, repeating itself beside Rikido first.

"Huh?" He looked back, shocked, as Nomu slammed his fist against him, sending him flying back.

"Gah!" He coughed up blood, unable to move.

"Get back now!" Aizawa activated his quirk on him, but nothing changed as it appeared next to Sero, grabbing him and throwing him onto the staircase.

"Todoroki, get back!" He said this, trying to bind Nomu, but it had already disappeared. Todoroki formed a wall of ice behind him as it appeared, punching it.

He slid back and launched a wave of ice towards Nomu. It caught the bird-brained monster, making it howl, but it broke off the ice and regenerated its limbs.

It screeched, charging Todoroki faster than he could see and, like the others, sending him flying into the staircase.

"Surprise! This is the creation of Nomu to destroy the symbol of peace. If you're wondering why you can't erase his quirk, Eraserhead, it's because he's an artificial Lifeform with multiple quirks, the anti-symbol of peace."

'Artificial Lifeform!? This is bad. The kids are unconscious or in danger. I need to take him out immediately!' He dashed towards Shigaraki, only for Nomu to appear, grabbing his hand and twisting it.

-Snap!

He held in his scream, and Nomu grabbed him and threw him into the staircase.

"They have captured black mist. The villains are being beaten by the next generation of heroes, and no, Allmight... maybe if we make the kids scream, he will arrive, so Nomu break them."

"Reee!" He screeched, dashing towards Sero, who was the closest, ready to pummel him in.

'N-no, please!' Sero closed his eyes. Aizawa got up to move but was too slow. Nomu's fist slammed against something exploding in the air around him.

-BAM!

"I'm alive?" Sero opened his eyes, seeing Kirishima in front of him, blocking the fist.

"Get moving, Sero!" Kirishima shouted at him.

Nomu screeched, slamming its fist against Kirishima as the Shockwave snapped Sero out of it and started running back.

-Crack!

"Cough! I-Is that all you got?" Kirishima stumbled back but didn't fall. Cracks spread through his whole armour as a small trail of blood seeped out, and his mind and body went partially numb.

'What a heroic entrance!' Shigaraki said nothing, snapping his fingers until Nomu dashed close, reeling his fist back.

"Eijiro, get away from him!" Aizawa shouted.

"I don't think I can!" He shouted, dodging the punch and going for an uppercut, but Nomu barely reacted by going for another punch. Kirishima barely dodged the hit with a backflip before Nomu's fist cracked into the ground.

'I can't take that many hits from them; maybe one or two more. Why isn't Allmight here?' Kirishima thought, avoiding Nomu's punches.

"Kirishima!" Midoriya yelled, jumping from the other side of the place. Fearful, Mina, Tsuyu, and Mineta yelled, remaining frozen in place as Midoriya dashed, "Get away from him! SMASH!"

-BOOM!

His punch landed, unlike his leg. His arm didn't break, but Nomu didn't falter. It glanced at Midoriya, going to pummel his face.

Kirishima acted, throwing him back and taking the brunt of the punch. The force sent him flying back a few feet.

-Boom! -Crack!

"Cough! Ah! Are you okay?" He huffed, pieces of his armour falling off. He was feeling lightheaded. Nothing could be done, and he wasn't sure if he could take another punch. Why wasn't Allmight here?

It was then that Aizawa got in front of them. "You two need to get back now."

"And another hero joins in because why not? Nomu, take your time with them. I want Allmight to come in knowing he was too late and to see their faces right before they die," Shigaraki commanded.

"SCREECH!"

"It's coming towards us," Kirishima said with a hoarse voice, his body shaking. 'It hurts,' he thought, looking for any signs of backup or Allmight but finding nothing.

Eraserhead can't fight; his arm is twisted, and he can't erase his quirk. Midoriya's a sitting duck; he's barely standing with one leg shattered.

It was at this moment that Kirishima stepped up. Todoroki was unconscious; if they waited, they were dead. He wanted to run, but that isn't the way of a hero who protects!

'Harden, Harden the cracks and become harder; harden the muscles beneath and become stronger! If I can't become unbreakable yet, then I'll get as close as I can. If I can just take three or one more I can dodge, I can last long enough!'

He gave a toothy smile, his body creaking, steeling, hardening, stopping the bleeding, and rising to unbreakable heights. Forearms, thighs, chest, head, and biceps were getting harder than ever before!

'I will be a chivalrous knight, a hero who protects!' He grabbed Aizawa by the scarf and Midoriya and threw them back a great distance.

-Creek!

"Ha!" He let out a battle cry and reacted with his fist!

"Creee!" Nomu, feeling the incoming attack, charged towards him, ready to crush!

-Boom! -Crack!

Their fists collided, exploding in the surrounding air. 'One! My bones! I guess I'll harden them too!' He felt the snap of his bones under the pressure, but there was no pain because of his adrenaline.

"Creaaaah!" Nomu screeched and went for another swing, but Kirishima limped beneath him before getting back up and hitting it with a jab to the eyes. He slashed the eyes, blinding them.

-Swish!

'Just last long enough, dodge! Keep his attention on me, always.' He backstepped, avoiding the hit. It was punching wildly, so it allowed him to dodge with the capoeira he learned and counter with some jabs to its stomach. He wasn't sure if it did anything.

Just as he felt okay, he saw one eye focusing on him. Nomu screeched and threw his fist. Kirishima was too slow to dodge. 'Bear it!' He grunted and countered with his fist.

It was better to put up some resistance than just take it all. Their fists collided again for the second time.

-BAM! -Crack!

There was no struggle. Kirishima went flying crashing into the stairs; his body burst with blood through the cracks in his armour, and his arm was broken. Badly.

Kirishima stuttered, small pieces of him falling off his body, and those who watched froze their stomach-churning into a pit of despair.

Kirishima was out of his hardened state, his body showing lines where his armour had cracked and blood dripping down his body.

"Finish him," Shigaraki ordered. Nomu stood up, instantly reeling his fist back. It would be the third and final blow.

'Block!' He crossed his arms as the fist smashed into him, hardening with all the power he could in an instant. He felt a sudden weight shift and pain as he went further into the ground.

-Boom! -Crack!

"Hah," Mina said, losing her breath and falling. Kirishima was too far down to be seen. Aizawa had lost his calm demeanour, turning to the kids, who were all in a state of shock.

"Now that it's finally over, take care of the rest," Shigaraki said, and Nomu moved its direction towards Aizawa.

Inside the crater, Kirishima was stuck in a wall he could barely feel, with constant pain radiating across his body. I couldn't even take 10,' he cursed himself. He could only take five hits from the monster, and he was sure it wasn't using all its power.

But he did it. He bought enough time, right? Eijiro thought he could stop. He looked out through the hole he was in. He could see Mina and the others, while they couldn't see them.

The look of despair on their faces—Kirishima never wanted to see that, but he believed Allmight would arrive anytime now. He was tired; he could close his eyes, right?

'Mina… no… I'm not done yet,' he grunted, and he willed himself out of the wall. If I can't walk, I'll crawl, he said as he limped himself out of the hole. He couldn't hear, but audible gasps were coming from everyone.

"Oi, you're leaving? Who decided that?" He coughed, blood glaring at Shigaraki. "You thought I was done, haha! Who decided that?"

Until Allmight arrived, he had to keep their attention on him. He wanted to scream but held it in. He willed himself to stand.

He looked at Mina with a shaken face, and Todoroki showed a similar expression. From his view, he spotted Mineta and Tsuyu with the same fear in their eyes.

"Is that all you got?" He grunted, raising his fist and hardening again. It was a bluff; he couldn't go any further. But if he had to, he would.

'This guy is pissing me off,' he said, his fingers twitching before scratching his neck. "Nomu! Kill-"

Boom!

The gate burst open, revealing the number-one hero in all his furious rage. In a second, he blitzed any Villain he saw arriving at Kirishima . "Young Eijiro, you can rest now."

His words made him pass out gently. Allmight placed him down gently. "It's alright because I AM HERE!"
