My Hero Academia: Tropic Thunder

Denki Kaminari is no more, in this verse, he's a exchange student from South America. A complete overhaul (:D) of the character in my mind. Artistic liberties in regards of individual abilities will seem familiar, as I will take inspiration - if not a complete rip-off - of other lightning users of other animes. My first ever fic, try not to die from cringe.

U.S.J Attack

-Narrator POV-

...

He can't hear anything, anyone, can't see not even his hand in front of his face, darkness shrouds the entire body, there's no sense of up or down, it's like he's falling but frozen in place, waiving his arms and legs in vain as he can't propel himself at any direction.

Soon, the sensation of falling get's stronger, gravity seems to come back as light suddenly brightens his vision, he hits the ground hard. He come to his senses and observes his surroundings, the inside of a building alongside Kirishima and Bakugou. Kaminari understands it now, the monster's quirk is teleportation, he warped them to this location.

Kaminari helps Kirishima get up while Bakugou looks annoyed.

"Thanks, Kaminari. What happened? Where are we?" He looks confused.

"I can only assume the monster teleported us here, and since there's only three of us he may have scattered the class all around the dome." Indeed, it looks like the only rational conclusion.

"Quit your bitching, we have company." Bakugou's rudeness is also a reality check as Kaminari looks at the window and see tens of villains rushing towards us outside.

"There are too many of them, what will we do?" Kirishima, although corageous, is clearly afraid, guess even Bakugou is.

"We crush them before they crush us." Bakugou's is full of murderous intent as he almost drools at the thought of hurting people.

"Prepare yourselves. They're here." Kaminari's confidence is but a facade, his hands are shaking, the heart is pounding and even his quirk passively activated out of instinct, this is real, there's no retries now.

The wall explodes in front of them , villains rush inside right. It's on.

...

A behemoth of a villain charges in, vigorously choosing which student to pick first, the bigger the better, he thought, and picked the foreign looking student. Others follow behind and swarmed Bakugou and Kirishima.

"You're done!" He exclaimed as he bear hugged Kaminari from behind and started to squeeze. "Scream for me, will you, boy?"

"No, I don't think I will..."

The lack of fear and the abundance of overconfidence surprised the villain.

"And neither will you..." The villain's skin started to tingle as he realized a tad too late that he chose poorly. Not even the speed of his nerve receptors desperately firing from his brain to try to let go of the boy was enough.

His body tensed, muscles contracted, not even with the mustering of his will he could let go of the student as his hands clenched even harder. He wanted to scream at the searing pain, but his tongue rolled back into his throat, desperation engulfed the villain as he could feel his forearms and feet starting to burn and blister. He foamed and squirmed, tears ran down his face until he finally lost counsciousness.

Kaminari looked at the downed villain, convulsing after receiving the most measle electrical output he could generate.

"Electrophorus Voltai... A species of electric eel, the strongest known bioelectricity generator in nature. You just hugged a swarm of them."

As he stood still, another villain rushed towards Kaminari, who's facing the opposite side, still looking at the downed villain. He swung his baseball bat at Kaminari who weaved out of range.

"What? How did-"*Urgh* The second villain mumbled, not another word could be said as he felt his jawbone breaking, neither could he scream as his body faced a sudden current of electricity who clenched even his face muscles shut.

Kaminari looks as if he moves at stop motion, in a blink of an eye he changed from dodging the attack to spinning back heel kick the villain coming from the rear. The nearby wall cracked as the villain landed back first into it.

"Electrophorus Voltai are also gifted with Electroreception, meaning I don't need to look at someone to acknowledge said someone is in the vicinity."

Kaminari faced the remainder villains facing his direction. "I took no pleasure in hurting them. Don't make me do this, surrender, please."

The rush of adrenaline travels inside the villain's bodies, they can't belive a single first year student dispatched two villains in an instant. They aren't the only ones, Kirishima is in awe at how actually strong Kaminari is, even Bakugou couldn't help but show signs of impression.

"Don't fuck with me! Like I would surrender to a brat!" One of the screamed full of bravado as they all rushed Kaminari.

...

...

-Jirou Kyoka POV-

This is the worst, we can't defeat those guys alone. No matter how many we downed they're still coming. Yaoyorozu created a weapon for me but this ain't going to suffice. The villains are out for blood and we're alone!

"Watch out, Jirou-san!" Yaoyorozu shouted as she shielded me from a ranged attack.

I fell hard into the ground, I'm bleeding, I want to cry so bad it's not even funny.

"Take this!" I managed to pierce a villain's eye with my earphone jack, he's subdued as I send violent vibrations through his body.

"We won't get out of this in one piece if we don't get help, Yaoyorozu!"

"I know this much, Jirou-san, I'm already working on something." She says as she creates something out of her forearm."

"Whatever you do, be fast!" I barely blocked a villain's strike as I pierce him with my plugs. Dammit, if only he was here...

"Argh!" Oh no, Yaoyorozu!

She was struck by a bladed quirk villain, her shoulder is bruised, I break my staff on his head as I rush to her.

"Here, take this and shoot into the air, hopefully he will see it..." She's trying her best not to cry as well. She hands me a flare gun.

"I see! Let's hope this works!" I fire into the air, a smoke trail follows the projectile upwards. Now we have to hold on.

"Please... Look up..."

...

...

-Kaminari POV-

...

"That's the last one." I tell Bakugou after looking for anymore villains with my electroreception. He lets go of the villain he pinned to the ground and blasted into oblivion.

"All right, we kicked their asses!" Kaminari said with relief. "Let's find the others!"

"Be for real, spiky!" Bakugou shouted. "What we need to do is find the warp abomination and end it's existence!"

They go back and forth as I look for stragglers. I walk past them, the villains I neutralized, they're in bad shape, even for Bakugou's standarts.

Close your heart to their suffering, they chose to walk this path.

It's what my father told me to do when facing villains, showing pity can get you killed. Do enough to them so they stop being a threat, don't go overboard. His lessons are stuck in my mind and I follow them to the letter, but I can't help but feel bad for those guys.

A smoke trail down south of our position cuts the air and caughts my attention.

"A flare?" I say, getting the other two attention.

"Maybe someone's in trouble, we have to go!" Kirishima had the right idea.

"Those losers can save themselves, I'm going for the warp monster!" Bakugou's is one step away from being an actual villain with this attitude. But he's right, subdue the warp monster and this is over.

"Here's the deal, I will go towards the flare, go with Bakugou and find Mr Aizawa." I can speed my way to the flare.

"But..." Kirishima is obviously not in agreement. "Yeah... I'm probably going to slow you down anyways, Kaminari. Okay, let's go, Bakugou!" His quick thinking is appreciated.

"Don't give me orders, worm!" Bakugou's frowns at the mere indication of being ordered around. "Run behind me!" He shouts as they go to the plaza. Better run.

I coat my entire body with electricity, my hair straightens up and my body glows. Redirecting and concentrating the current to my legs and feet, I rush south.

...

...

-Narrator POV-

...

Soon he leaves the ruins and makes his way to the landslide zone, Kaminari sees a multitude of villains encased in ice coffins, presuming this as being the work of Todoroki, who soon is found running at the same direction as the flare.

"Todoroki!" Kaminari shouts, abruptely stopping making fire trails. "You saw the smoke too, eh?"

"Yes, I'm going towards it." Todoroki's blandly responded.

"I'm going to get there first, Bakugou and Kirishima are headed to the plaza to aid Mr. Aizawa, perhaps you oughta go there as well."

After a bit of thinking, he finally responds.

"I see, your quirk allows you to travel at high speeds, you will reach them first before I even leave this zone. I will serve of no help." Todoroki nonchalantly answers.

"Go ahead, I will go to the plaza." Todoroki makes an Ice way and surfs on top of it, making his way to the plaza. Kaminari continues on.

The smoke dissipated, now he can't pinpoint the exact location it was fired. He stops once more and focus his power into electroreception, hoping to find them before it's too late.

...

...

"Argh!" Jirou screams as she's lauched against the rock wall by a villain's attack, shattering her weapon.

"Yaoyorozu... Another one..." Jirou pleads for another weapon.

"I... Apologize... I can only make... one more creation until I've depleted my energy reserves..." Yaoyorozu is on the brink of collapse, Jirou gets desperate as she plugs her earlobes jacks into her boots once again. Her move is cut short by a water jetstream hitting her, sending her flying once again against the wall.

"Not a chance!" A villain said, wiping water of his mouth, clearly the source of the water attack.

She can hear thunder at a distance. Just a couple more seconds.

Her ears are already bleeding, another one may cause even more damage. Fear overcomes her body, her eyes start to water as yet another villain charges at her.

"You're dead meat, girl!" he shouts.

*BOOM*

The villain's afterimage soon dissapeared as a gust of wind blasted the vicinity. She finally found the villain pinned against the rock wall, the impact so strong it cracked it extensively. It was pure instinct, I didn't even thought about it, seeing my friends in danger just made me lose control, there was no plan, no strategy, my body just moved on it's own.

"What... When did y-"

*Zap!*

An instant loud boom and his arms went limp, he's done for, his almost charred like body was released, hitting the ground hard.

I walked towards the rest of them, putting myself between the villains and the girls.

I can't go all out here, any accidental discharge will severely harm them, back at the disaster zone I separated myself from Kirishima and Bakugou so I didn't accidentaly hurted them, I can't do the same here, as strong as Jirou and Yaomomo are they're in pretty bad shape, and if I rush the villains I will leave them unprotected.

Jirou was suddenly grabbed, her earlobes were mere centimeters away from piercing Yaoyorozu mistaking her for a sneaky villain. "Yaoyorozu?!"

"Quickly, get closer!" Yaoyorozu wasted no time as she created her last item. Jirou was still trying to figure out what was going on before being covered by a large object.

"An insulator sheet?" Jirou askes as she's being enveloped by one mere miliseconds before understanding Yaoyorozu's intentions.

"Kaminari-san! We're safe!" Yaoyorozu exclaimed as she almost collapsed from exhaustion. I have looked once more at them to ensure they were indeed out of harms way.

"Great thinking, Yaoyorozu!" I blissfully shouted as my entire body glowed with electricity.

"Now I don't have to worry for colateral damage." I can't help to grin, I possibly terrified every villain in the vicinity. My hands create massive bursts of electricity, small lightining tendrils randomly struck the rock walls and ground, breaking chunks of rock apart.

With the earlier skirmish and using lightning speed to get here I'm almost depleted, meaning I can't draw out this battle here or I will run out of juice, sometimes I hate this collar... My only option is clear, I have to take down them all at once, in one single big attack. Oh man... This is gonna suck.

I place my hands into the ground.

"Critical... OVERLOAD!"

I unleash millions of volts of electric current traveling their way directly to the villains. A choir of screams took place as the villains were shocked into oblivion, mixing with the loud outburst of electricity covering the entire zone. My hands are already in pain, I have reached the wattage limit.

...

-Narrator POV-

Suddenly it was all quiet, Jirou mustered enough courage and lifted the sheet to see what had transpired. Her eyes widened as she saw only Kaminari standing. His hands were... burned? Not only his hands but his forearms too, perhaps the overusage of his quirk is damaging to his own body.

"Thank goodness, you're okay." Kaminari could barely speak, he looked drained as he walked towards them, barely keeping himself on a straight line.

"I overdid it... I unleashed all my electrical output at once into a single attack, my body can't handle this amount yet... But it's finally ov-"

"Such luck I have!"

A misterious voice coming from the smoke expressed happiness.

"To think I would be facing an electricity quirk is a happy coincidence." A masked villain, seemed unharmed, walked towards them. Kaminari activated his quirk once more and rushed the villain without thinking.

"Careless." The villain sarcastically said.

"NO! KAMINARI WAIT!" Jirou's plead was in vain, she could see what Kaminari couldn't, it was too late. The masked villain had the water villain in his grasp, who launched a water jet at Kaminari.

*ZAP*

He couldn't even scream, it was like watching a blowdrier being thrown at a bathtub, a sudden explosion and then smoke. Jirou watched in horror as Kaminari froze, smoke emmanating from his entire body, the villain walking towards him laughing histerically.

"What a shame, it seems water is a threat to all of us with electricity based quirks. Thankfully I'm immune to electricity. But I guess I should be thanking you!" He said refering to the latter water attack villain, laying on the ground, burned by his own earlier attack, for the current travelled his water stream right back to him.

"So much power being stopped by a puddle of water, what a disgrace." The villain remarked as he grabbed Kaminari's hair a lifts him off the ground, facing him towards the girls who can only watch. Jirou is horrified as she sees Kaminari uncounscious.

"Now, how could you cause me more problem that the girls over there if you just got here?!" The villain knees Kaminari in the face, breaking his face mask.

"It would be annoying to have you waking up, perhaps I should just be done with you. The idea was to kill All Might but offing a student is still good. What do y'all think?!" He mockingly asks the girls while pulling a knife and and holding against him, it's sharpness is clear as one measle touch was enough to draw blood out of Kaminari's cheek.

"STOP!" Jirou screams with desperation. "Please, don't!" Yaoyorozu pleads to the villain.

The villain laughs with disdain, he enjoys bestowing dread upon them, watching as they beg for his laugh.

"Look at the bright side, pal, at least you will have beautiful girls crying at your funeral!" The villain makes a final joke before lunging the blade at Kaminari's neck.

"NOOO!" Jirou screams in agony as Yaoyorozu closes her eyes.
