Finally, as if encapsulating the narmy look, he wore basic standard, worn red sneakers, and was hunched over as he walked.
The look basically could all be summed up in one word.
-Fucking HELL he looks stupid!-
...
… A bit more crass than Izuku would have put it, but yeah, he looked really, really stupid.
Right now though, there was something more pressing about the man in question.
"Aizawa Sensei! That's the guy from the alarm incident! The guy in the pajamas!"
Several students, who hadn't quite resales what was going on, or even realized something was wrong, all turned to look at who Izuku was yelling about.
Aizawa though wasn't forthcoming with an explanation.
"13, PROTECT THE STUDENTS!" He yelled in a panicked, hoarse voice like he wasn't used to actually speaking loudly.
"The heck are those?" Kirishima asked, looking down on the invading group. "More robots?"
"DON'T MOVE, THOSE ARE VILLAINS!"
"Yeah, that's pretty fucking obvious man. They're here to kill us most likely. Or try to anyway" Immediately after finishing, he fused his head around Izuku's.
His voice was nonchalant as if being attacked by a sudden dozen Villains who wanted to murder them was just a regular occurrence to be taken in stride.
Those words didn't exactly bring calmness to the rest of the class, but before any true panicked reactions could be had, the source of the misty black portals made itself known, as a head made of the stuff suddenly materialized itself in the air, overlooking them, it's eyes like yellow, burning slits with yellow energy trailing behind them.
"13 and eraser head is it?" As his eyes narrowed, Izuku felt his eyes scanning him, and the rest of the class.
"According to the staff schedule I got the other day, All Might was supposed to be here… Yet he is not."
The pajamas guy didn't take the news well.
"Where is he…? We came all this way… brought so many playmates…. All Might… The symbol of peace… Isn't here?"
The guy's head shot back up, and his entire spine went up, and rigid, like he was a pole.
"I wonder if some dead kids will bring him here?"
It was… Interesting to be able to feel him as he changed his mind.
Seconds before there was nothing more than hatred, a burning loathing of everything around him.
Then like a switch, his emotions turned to something else. A feeling Izuku hadn't felt before, yet instinctually, he somehow knew what it was. Killer Intent. But not focused, on anyone, or anything. Just kinda… There.
Izuku should have felt horrified by his words… Yet he didn't. At all. There was no conviction in them. Despite all this guy's hatred, he just didn't feel anything one would have expected from a guy who just proclaimed he wanted to murder kids. Murder him, Izuku realized.
He should have felt threatened the same way he felt from the rest of these guys. But he just wasn't. At all.
He was like a child throwing a tantrum.
By his side, Kaminari stepped up and looked down upon, the congregation of Villains. Unlike Izuku, he was obviously shaken by Shigaraki's words. He shook in fear, and his eyes scanned the Villains as if looking for someone or something. Most likely he was trying to figure out exactly how many there were.
He was afraid. Scared. Terrified.
Izuku put his hand on his shoulder. He tried to think up something positive to say to calm him, but before he could, Kaminari, seemingly snapped out of his fear by Izuku's hand, suddenly stopped shaking.
His look changed from fear to resigned.
"We'll just have to fight then…" The blonde boy grit his teeth and clenched his hands into fists, as he looked down on the Villains, who now seemed to be considering their next move.
"Ain't happening." Aizawa said in a tone that would broker no argument.
"13! Get the students out, and try calling the school! One of these Villains must be jamming the sensors, it's a large chance that one of them is an electric type causing a disturbance preventing the signal!"
"Kaminari! When you get outside, try using your quirk to signal for help!"
"Uh, Right, GOT IT!" Kaminari responded.
Aizawa then stepped up to the edge of the stairways, obviously preparing to fight. Fear for what might happen to Aizawa suddenly shot through Izuku's mind.
"Wait, sensei, you can't fight all of them alone! Against that many, not even you can nullify, ALL of their quirks. Not to mention your battle style is Erasure and capture, head-on battle isn't your-"
Aizawa cut him off.
"No good hero is a one-trick pony."
Then, before he attacked he gave one final line. "13, take care of the students."
Then, with a short burst of running, he jumped down the stairs towards the plaza.
...
Aizawa did remarkably well in his assault. Frankly, though, a better strategy would have been to have the students with ranged capability back him up.
But as it was, he had decided to make this a one-man show. Oh well. They would need to fight anyhow. The presence of a teleporter made sure of that.
Still, they had bested teleporter before, even before the final bonding. They would do it again. Maybe break his neck too this time, instead of just knocking this one out.
...
As the students began their attempt at evacuation, Izuku had to fight an urge, no, a NEED to jump down and back up Aizawa.
He should FIGHT! He should help Aizawa. Leaving him alone down there, felt so, utterly wrong.
Those thoughts were interrupted by the teleporter, who suddenly materialized like a huge black sheet of black mist in front of the entrance.
"I'm sorry to say, but I cannot allow you to leave." The darkness said in a polite voice.
"Allow me to introduce ourselves. We are the league of Villains. Forgive our audacity, but… Today, we came here to Yuei, highschool of heroism… To end the life of All Might, the Symbol of peace…"
Izuku froze. This guy… Unlike the hands guy, this guy was the real deal. An actual killer in mind and soul. Izuku could feel it from him. Conviction, steadfastness, a total disregard for them, and their lives. This guy would kill them if he could.
He would kill All Might.
Not happening.
"We were under the impress-" He was cut off as two figures launched themselves forward, and punched him in the face and gut… Or at least where his face and gut had been.
Izuku's fist hit him straight where his head had been, but it simply went through his mist, as the man dematerialized into mist and reappeared a bit in front of them, outside their immediate reach.
Izuku didn't turn to look at the other person, but a flash of pink in the corner of his vision told him it was Ashido Mina.
"That was close." The mist guy said as if he hadn't almost had his lights knocked out.
He narrowed his eyes. "Yes… Students though you may be, you are indeed the best caliber."
"BEGONE."
Without warning, and so fast that Izuku didn't even have time to react, black mist surged forward, and around them.
Izuku could feel a hand close around his arm, and rip him backward and off his feet, away from the mist at incredible speed, but it wasn't enough.
The mist engulfed, him and the owner of the hand completely in a maelstrom of black mist, even as they moved backward.
...
For what seemed like far, far longer than it probably was, Izuku floated through a void, the only thing he could feel for sure was the arm, that still firmly held unto his arm.
Suddenly, and without warning, light returned, and they were back in the world of the living.
Izuku immediately notice two things. The first was that he was falling. The second, that he was maybe 6 meters above ground, or rather a rooftop. And the third, was that below, there were 5 people, all of whom had what, with a shock, he realized was machine guns.
They were waiting for them to hit the ground to riddle them with bullets.
The shock almost overwhelmed him, but instincts, his innate will to survive, took over.
The arm that wasn't clamped down on, shot up and a line of black web hit the ground by the feet of one of the guys.
Then, with a PULL, Izuku changed their direction and instead of landing in the middle of the five, Izuku instead slammed into the unfortunate Villain.
The hand let go as they hit the guy, and Izuku heard someone kick off from the ground beside him.
-KEEP MOVING, DON'T STOP!-
He did so, and rather than turning around, he jumped sideways.
Seconds later, a small hail of bullets flew into the spot where his body had just been, and over the unfortunate guy, Izuku had slammed into.
The sound from the explosion of each bullet was a ping of pain in Izuku's head, but he ignored it.
As he flew, Izuku turned midair to get a look at his assailants. The sight that greeted him was Mina ashido having moved so that she was between three of the gunmen and a final fourth one, who she was in the process of attacking having apparently ripped his machine gun out of his hand and tossed it over the edge of the building.
One gunman had trained his weapon at Mina and the guy she was tangling with, but he hesitated at the prospect of shooting and possibly hitting his buddy.
The other two were attempting to reload, having used both their clips trying to kill him.
