Logar blinked as the next universe started to come into focus.

He turned to the group and chuckled. "Well, this one is certainly interesting! Lots of fun differences that distinguish this world from your own! And before you ask, no spoilers! Just sit back and enjoy."

There were a few grumbles in response to that, as well as Midnight making a remark about 'teasing' that everyone was glad Eri didn't hear. The screen in front of them started to show more and more colours, audio starting to filter in.

Logar flicked the lights off as the other universe came into view completely, and sat down to watch the show...


The blue-haired villain standing on the last step of the fountain had yet to direct his glare from anything but the top of the giant staircase before him, ignoring the boisterous shouting of the crowd between them that had already begun to grate at his ears.

All of 1-A flinched at Shigiraki's sudden appearance, none more so than Bakugou, Kirishima and Todoroki. They all knew exactly what was happening in this universe.

The USJ attack.

Instead, he watched the two distant figures preparing themselves without any hesitation visible in their poise as they returned the gaze back at him and the twisting pillar of black shaping itself beside him.

"Thirteen, Eraser Head and Deku. Just as the schedule we stole said." The pair of familiar yellow eyes manifested themselves to look up at the same pair above as the dark miasma settled and a man's deep voice left the void without any interference. "And yet All Might is nowhere to be seen, despite how the same schedule says that he's supposed to be here too."

"Wait, they mentioned Midoriya's hero name alongside our teachers… is this Midoriya a staff member at UA? That would make him at least 4-5 years older than us in this universe." Logar glanced over at Momo and nodded.

"Correct, Miss Yaoyorozu, excellent deduction. Mr Midoriya is approximately 8 years older in this universe than he is in ours." The small, proud smile she gave after that almost made everyone's hearts melt.

"And after I wasted so much time bringing together all of these nobodies just for him. It's not like the Symbol of Peace to be away for something like this…" The man let out a silent exasperated sigh as he lethargically gestured to his own amassed army, unorganised in their placement with confident grins and smirks shared across most of the masses.

His gesture wilted without any attempted resistance from the villain who instead focused his gaze solely on the open space above the steps and past the archway. He tilted his head by an inch, attempting to catch a better glimpse of the small crowd group of students behind the two steadfast heroes as they rapidly escaped his view.

"…maybe he'll show up if we kill some kids."

All Might wrapped his arm around Inko's shoulders as she let out a small whimper at that line. She wasn't a hero, she wasn't even a hero-in-training. But she would stick it out and be brave for her son.

The screen cut to black briefly for a scene change.


The top of the staircase exploded with a wave of air as Izuku fired off his quirk's charge by his feet, followed immediately after by Shota's near silent pounce from the step. The sound of the force being released directed the army's attention from the now-empty platform onto the heroes that suddenly plummeted towards the ground floor. The green glow around the counsellor's legs had disappeared as he soared feet first, but still persisted around his forearms as the tinted space continued to build up.

"Look alive shooting squad, here they come!"

"Did you see that jump? This Izuku's super strong too!"

"Look at the muscles on him! He's so manly!"

"Kick their asses Deku!"

"You got this Deku!"

The wide grin belonged to the man in the front row as he took a self-assured step forward, pointing the metallic nozzles on his fingertips at the rapidly approaching pair. He was soon followed by the women on his left with her long grey hair fashioned into several grey dreadlocks, along with the much larger and overweight man with horns and a metal mask resembling pig's snout on his fully shrouded face.

"That's Deku alright, but who's that guy next to him? And where's All Might?!" The woman's smirk barely lessened as her hair began to raise itself high over her own head and loosely point its ends at their falling targets at her command. Her posture had barely changed with the exception of leaning herself forwards slightly as her strands continued to float through the air.

"Who cares?! They're both dead men anyway if they keep charging at us!" The pig-faced man was the last to reach the front and barely made a change to his slouched posture. Instead only rearing his head upwards as the two open holes in his mask began to flare red, pointing them directly at the pair who were already soared more than halfway down the steps.

As they got to see the villains preparing to attack, everyone started to tense up. This was it. The USJ had started, and combat was beginning.

Eri snuggled a little further into Izuku's lap and hugged his arm like a teddy bear while watching him fly towards the bad guys. 'I believe in you Deku!'

Izuku's eyes shifted slightly to his right until Shota's prepared figure appeared in the corner of his vision. He watched during their freefall as the teacher's hair suddenly sprang up from behind his head as an almost minuscule red light appeared behind his goggles. The sudden reaction confused him for a second, having only the rare bit of footage of Eraser Head in action previously before he figured that there was one logical reason behind it.

Kaminari tried to break the tension.. "Guess this Midoriya is into all that Quirk research stuff as well. Is that another thing that doesn't change?"

Unfortunately, everyone else was too focused on the screen to reply to him.

The two of them were only a few steps away from the ground before the collective smile of their three adversaries deepened. The man in front straightened out his fingers and activated his ability to riddle the heroes full of holes, only for his eyes widened in shock when his barrelled fingertips simply clicked instead, as if they were malfunctioning.

The sudden dread was shared by the other two villains as the woman's hair flopped down again over her face and blocked her view without warning, while the bright red glow on the heavier built man's mask began to fizzle away. The three of them were completely staggered by the series of failures as they all shifted their view away from the staircase to indulge in their panic. "H-huh?! Why the hell isn't my quirk firing off?!"

Aizawa nodded and glanced over to the other pro heroes in the room, noticing how they were analysing the situation. He smiled behind his scarf. He was glad that he had colleagues as skilled as they were.

In their moment of alarm, their focus was completely taken off the still imminent danger of the heroes, leaving their interrupted poise unprepared for the two ends of Shota's grey scarf that lashed around the smaller villains and trapped their arms against their sides. The masked intruder could only watch as their already disarmed bodies were snatched into the air with great speed and flung into the air before his own attention was stolen by the green blur that appeared in front of him.

His eyes snapped down below him after his ears were filled with the sounds of a thunderous crash, immediately locking onto the crouched form and green hair belonging to Izuku. Just as quickly as he landed, the hero brought his head up to stare back at the larger man as his body raised from its position close to the ground. His glowing arm and fist that had been tucked towards his chest continued to rocket upwards as well, eventually overtaking it once he was properly standing and launching it up into the man's face.

The impact of the fist combined with the immediate release of his quirk caused the greenette's punch to send the man's head shooting upward to look at the building's ceiling, leaving a heavy dent in the villain's necessary metal cover. He was already beginning to fall backwards from the shock as Izuku pulled back his other charged fist to follow up, darting forwards and delivering his second strike directly into the man's abdomen.

All Might was smiling at the speed and efficiency that Izuku performed the takedown with. He knew that the boy would be an amazing hero, and apparently giving him a different Quirk didn't change that.

Aizawa was also happy to see that Izuku wasn't messing around, focusing on flashiness instead of the fight. He could feel a sense of capability from the Izuku on the screen, something that only a hero could recognise in another.

He just hoped this USJ attack ended better than their one.

The force behind the blow lingered for an extra second as the hero's quirk began to pull him in along with the pent-up air circling around his forearm. With the new added force stockpiling on his fist, he straightened out his arm and fired off the attack all at once, releasing another burst of force that sent the man flying backwards as he was repelled away with his quirk at the same time.

Shota landed quickly after, effortlessly guiding the strands of alloy-infused cloth in his hands before harshly pulling them downwards. The sudden jerk shortened the gap between the airborne villains just above him until they crashed into each other, flying backwards from the impact as their unconscious bodies hit the ground and their fabric bindings loosened themselves.

The still wide spanning crowd gasped as their assured expressions faded away at the sight of the two men who were already leaping into action. The Erasure Hero used the pause created by their show of force to retract the ends of his weaponised scarf, feeding them across his palms as they wound themselves around his neck once again.

Sero let out a whistle. "Anyone else feel like you're watching an action movie based on the USJ Attack? Cause this fight is seriously badass."

Kirishima clenched his fist and turned to the boy, showing that he was crying while watching. "It's so freaking manly! Look at them go!"

Shota reared his head back up to point his eyes forward to skim through the many surprised faces staring back at him, unable to see his eyes as the yellow goggles completely hid them in the shade. He didn't shift his head out of his scanning pattern even when he called out to the other hero that had positioned himself beside him in front of the staircase. "Deku, you see those three standing by the fountain?"

"You mean the ones who look and are currently acting like the ringleaders?" Izuku's combat stance returned as he raised his clenched fists level to his chest and planted his feet firmly against the concrete floor. The stalemate between the villains and himself gave him plenty of time to regain the green shade on his limbs as he tilted his vision over to include the other hero's form again.

Todoroki hummed as he voiced something he had noticed."It seems that this version of Midoriya needs to charge up before he can use his giant bursts of air pressure. Perhaps It is similar to his mother's, and can drag things towards him? He could be pulling the air around him towards himself and then letting it go to achieve such attacks."

Logar nodded, finger on his chin. "I think there's a little bit more to it, I will have to double check later, but that is the gist of his Quirk. Well done Young Shoto."

His attention quickly caught onto his long hair still lingering in the air, despite his supposed target now lying unconscious before them. He raised an eyebrow at the thought as Shota tilted his own head over by an inch to acknowledge him, giving him a chance to see the tiny sliver of red glowing in the shade. "We'll take care of the foot soldiers first but until then, let me handle them."

The oddly worded line was what put the pieces together for the greenette after a moment of processing, causing him to give a solid nod back as the upper half of his face above his respirator hardened into its previous firm stare. Shota could feel the burst of air brush against his side as Izuku released one of his legs' charge to propel himself forward, quickly taking it as a sign for him to leap into the fray himself.

From the obscurity of his goggles, his eyes locked onto another villain just ahead of him, a shorter woman with a set of pigtails directed upwards as the ends spiralled into drills. He had already targeted her with his quirk, but chose to wait until she pulled her eyes away to notice her wilting hair before he lunged towards her. The sole of his boot crashed into the side of her face the moment her guard lowered, forcing her head to hit the ground soon after from the angle of the kick.

Shota took the opportunity he had from his airborne position to toss out one end of his scarf towards a nearby villain still in shock. The material immediately wrapped itself around his stretched-out neck and forced him into smashing face-first into the concrete once the hero landed back on his feet. The man could only weakly pull his head away from the cracked floor as the fabric grip on his throat disappeared and his attacker dashed away to continue his onslaught, speaking up with a disoriented voice before he lost the last of his consciousness. "Who…is this guy?"

Kaminari gaped as he watched the quick and efficient beatdowns his teacher was dishing out."Mr Eraserhead sir, how did you get so badass at martial arts? You're kicking ass and taking names and they don't even seem to stand a chance!"

Eraserhead flinched as he remembered his training, his chest lighting up with phantom pain for a moment before he shook himself. "Lots and lots of training, Kaminari. If you want, you can join the weekly class I hold in the gym on tuesdays."

Before Kaminari could respond, he got shushed by Mei, who was angrily looking back at them, the popcorn in her mouth making her look like a chipmunk. A very angry chipmunk that could probably kill them with their own gear if she wanted.

Kaminari closed his mouth and went back to watching the screen.

"You idiots! That's Eraser Head! He can erase your quirk just by looking at you!" An angry voice cut in from behind the front row, watching with serious yet still stress eyes as the Erasure Hero rushed onto his next targets with bandages already shooting ahead of him, ensnaring the next pair before the rest of his figure caught up and swiftly pacified them after he delivered a quick and brutal strike to each of them.

"Is that right? Then that means you can't do a thing to mutant-type quirks like mine!" Shota's ears immediately picked up on the sounds of heavier footsteps coupled with a brash voice rapidly growing in volume. His head snapped to his side to see a new villain sprinting towards him with two of his four rock-covered arms raised up with tightened fists.

"You're right about that…" His face showed no sign of recoil as the barrage descended upon him, instead effortlessly moving backwards to dodge the first punch before immediately sidestepping the second attack that attempted to catch him during his evade. With one set of arms now extending past him, Shota took a sudden step forward as his body jolted closer to the villain, his form suddenly turning rigid as he dug his feet into the ground and reeled back his own fist. "…But what makes you think that I didn't at least consider a measure for fighting against people like you?"

The larger man couldn't pull himself back fast enough to dodge the fist that hurdled towards him before it caved into his masked face. He let out a choked groan as he was sent backwards through from the force of the punch with his feet completely taken off the ground. Shota's stance quickly returned to his fluid motion as he gripped the end of his scarf and cast it out after the man, which zipped over to him and latched itself around his ankle, forcing his course through the air to halt once both of the hero's hands gripped onto his end of the cloth and heaved back.

Kaminari glanced over at Aizawa again, truly noticing his scarf for the first time. It seemed like a super useful tool. Maybe he should ask to learn how to use it? He could probably get Mei or some other support student to make it conductive if he could use one properly.

Kaminari blinked at that. 'That was actually a really good idea! Maybe I'm starting to get smarter!'

The villain turned fully conscious again when he felt his body jerk in mid-air and begin to swing. He snapped his head down to his bandaged foot to see the hero he had attempted to attack now slinging him around from his position on the floor, directing him onto the opposite side of him before the iron-tight grip anchoring him suddenly loosened and sent him careening over the crowd. His eyes widened in panic as he attempted to orient himself during his freefall, only to freeze once he noticed his path was heading towards the second source of commotion in the crowd.

"Besides, that's what he's here for."

Izuku had yet to slow down since he had charged in, utilising the charge he had saved on his other leg and entering the fight with a heavy dropkick into the chest to immediately knock down another villain. His steel soles found their grip the moment they touched the ground, fortifying his posture as the next intruder hurtled towards him.

Kirishima made an odd noise that was a mix of crying and laughter. "What a freaking manly dropkick! Keep up the awesome work Teacherdoriya!"

Some of the others joined in on his cheering, and a chant of 'Teacherdoriya' began quietly.

He didn't have the chance to look anywhere other than the direction the pair of attackers rushed at him from until he stopped their advance by latching a hand onto the opposite sides of their face and colliding them together, releasing the stockpiled air around his forearms to add onto the already crippling force of the impact as they fell to the ground away from him. With the current threat removed, the hero immediately clued in on the presence that was speedily approaching him from behind, quickly shifting his head over to see a four-armed man falling from the sky towards where he was standing.

The bellowing war cry of another villain coming from his left side knocked Izuku out of his short-lived surprise as he quickly swivelled his head to greet the attacker. He leaned back to dodge the muscular arm and fist that had shot out to strike before his right hand darted out to latch onto their wrist, which began to glow an emerald green where they made contact.

The greenette quickly followed up his counter as his foot skidded across the concrete before it gripped again just in front of the villain's feet, tripping them up after they were forced to continue moving forwards as their trapped hand was jerked forwards. With their torso lined up almost flat before him, Izuku raised up his free arm as another green light overtook it before he smashed his elbow directly into their back.

He turned his attention back onto the panicking man who was now much closer than before, shifting his torso away from the struck villain beside him and aimed his arm at its new target. He released his gathered force downwards and off his elbow, sending his fist rocketing off the makeshift launchpad and almost immediately intercepting the falling villain as it crashed into his abdomen.

Todoroki clutched his stomach in semi-sympathetic pain at that. He had been on the receiving end of a 5% punch to the gut from Izuku during their fight in the sports festival, and it had hurt quite a bit.

And if this Izuku could dent metal with his Quirk's power, he was sure that guy was feeling pretty terrible at the moment as well.

The sheer power behind the blow reversed the man's momentum and caused him to fly backwards for a few inches before he lost the last of his energy and fell to the ground in an overwhelming daze.

Todoroki winced. He was right. That guy would definitely be feeling that in the morning.

Izuku let out a short breath as he pulled his fist back to recuperate himself after the sudden burst in activity, which had led to the moment, his side was littered with unconscious bodies. The moment was short-lived as his ears immediately picked up on another set of rapid footsteps coming from behind him. His first motion was to twist his head to lock into his view onto the looming adversary, only to immediately flinch his head to the side in order to dodge the lunging fist that shot past his head.

The counsellor reacted to the opportunity without delay, grabbing onto the villain's forearm with a glowing palm while his other shining hand latched itself to their collar. He took a heavy step forward and proceeded to pull the challenger across his shoulder as he continued to move most of his weight onto his front foot, startling them as their feet were suddenly pulled off the ground.

He waited until his opponent reached the apex of their height during his technique before he released his quirk's power that he had been storing on his shoulder, delivering a strong explosion into their stomach and sending them higher above the ground. The additional altitude only made the second half of his shoulder throw all the more fierce once he began to flip the villain's weight over him and, using both his full strength and the repelling force of his quirk, fired them from his hands to slam them flat on their back with an audible sound of the ground cracking underneath.

Inko let out a gasp as All Might watched on in surprise. Aizawa was looking impressed by the near-perfectly executed throw, and Kirishima was whispering 'manly' to himself almost once every 5 seconds.

Izuku waited for an extra second in case he was interrupted again before he attempted to indulge in the calm period again. He took another breath as he brought his head up from looking down at the painfully writing body in front of him to instead search for the only person nearby who wasn't planning to take his head. A tiny sign of relief crawled onto the visible portion of his face as his eyes found Shota continuing his own assault with no end in sight, which quickly shifted into alarm as he noticed the villain dashing up towards the other hero's back.

He kept his wide eyes locked onto the woman as she raised her bladed metal claws up, aiming them to eventually slash clean through Shota's neck while a wicked grin took root on her face. The rest of the counsellor's body moved into action as one of his gloved hands swiftly dived into one of the square red pouches hanging off his belt, immediately leaving the pocked again after with a metal ball between his fingers.

The spherical object, much like the several others that he had stashed in his other pockets, was no more than a steel ball about an inch in diameter and was never without a polished steel shine on its body. Izuku shifted his grip on the ball to sit comfortably on the side of his index finger as he firmly slotted it in with his thumb, which had both started to glow a bright green. He pointed his arm straight ahead and gripped onto his wrist to stabilize his aim, locking both his eyes and his limb directly at the villain.

The force behind his quirk began to increase over the second, adding on even more pressure as his grip continued to tighten. The force was suddenly released all at once when the hero fired the projectile with a small explosion of air in his hand as his thumb finally made contact with his finger. The bullet whizzed through the air with no other sound but the faint whistling it gave off as the ball blurred with its speed, easily reaching the intended target almost immediately after being fired.

Mei was watching with interest, this Izuku's Quirk letting her get some ideas for some more gear that Izuku could use. Maybe she could make him small little orbs like this Izuku had for his own 'Air force' gloves?

Power loader shivered at the gleam in Mei's eyes, knowing that it was only a matter of time before she went on another spree with her new ideas.

Shota had already recognised the threat behind him even before he had finished his takedown on the villain in front of him, immediately swivelling himself around with a fist clenched already prepared as the bladed hand was suddenly brought down. The momentum that his body carried immediately stopped as his eyes widened at the sight of a metal ball colliding with the woman's cheek without any warning, easily removing the grin on her face as the shock rippled across her face and caused her now loose form to collapse on the ground.

The Erasure Hero's looked down at the suddenly unconscious villain on the floor, his hair that had begun wilting the moment he turned his head was now resting in its casual look again as he eventually brought his head back up and over to where the ball had originated. His eyes quickly focused on Izuku who had just begun to lower his firing stance who looked back at him with a relaxed expression.

With the metal respirator in the way he couldn't make out the rest of his face, but he could at least make an educated guess that he was flashing a proud smile at him from underneath. The two of them cut the moment short as they both brought their gaze over to the barely reduced army that still filled the rest of the open plaza.

Mirio was staring at the screen with wide eyes at this point. "They've been working so hard and they have barely made a dent in the enemies numbers… that's freaking crazy…"

Nejire and Tamaki nodded in agreement. They were UA's big three and even then hadn't been in an attack of this scale before. The only thing that came close for them was the Yakuza raid to save Eri.

The cocky expressions and casual postures that had previously made up most of their individual figures had completely disappeared, now replaced with hardened stared and proper fighting stances, which only became even more reinforced as the two heroes prepared to charge forwards once again.

"I hate this. Even when it's just two heroes the normal masses don't even stand a chance." The blue-haired villain who was still the furthest from the action continued to watch with exasperation in his low voice as the hero's advance continued. His two fingers had yet to leave the side of his neck as they continued to lethargically scratch just beneath his head ever since the heroes immediately began turning the tide.

His hidden eyes focused on Shota as he firmly planted his feet on the ground once again after leaping, followed by two more neutralized villains in tow that instead were slammed harshly into the floor. "With those goggles in the way, no one has any idea whose quirks are being erased. Easy to know when he singles one out, but with a group of targets, it gets much harder for them to work together."

The group had to admit, Shigiraki was a lot smarter than they took him for. And while they were loath to admit it, the way he dissected the fight reminded them a bit of the way Izuku could dissect a Quirk.

The sight of seeing his fodder being so easily decimated by the hero became too infuriating to watch and instead quickly shifted his view onto the other source of his frustration in between the waves of villains. His sight turned just in time to see Izuku forcing back a larger villain, delivering an explosion of air from his forearm as his punch connected with their abdomen followed by another fiercely striking their chest. "And then there's that guy I haven't seen before. Who is he?"

"That would be Deku, the schedule did mention that he would be here too, however, he has only recently made an appearance in the media. A rookie perhaps?" The same deep voice emanated from behind the purple fog once again as its yellow eyes focused in on the same sight as the person beside him.

Iida bolted upright at that. "Wait, this Izuku is a rookie? Why would UA be hiring a rookie hero to be a teacher? They would have little to no field experience to pass along to the students!"

Aizawa glared at him and the boy sat down. "I'm sure there are reasons for his anonymity. He might be an underground hero like me, or any other explanation. Nezu always does things for a reason.

Bakugou huffed. 'Damn nerd probably found out about One for All in this world too, so the rat's trying to keep tabs on him. Or maybe All Might wanted him to be the next bearer in this world as well? Fuck, this multiverse bullshit is annoying.'

The two watched with unflinching stares as the green hero, who wasted no time after his opponent's feet were taken off the ground to latch his glowing hands onto his shirt. He quickly shifted his posture and used his new grip on the villain to swing them around himself before firmly rooting himself and hurled them into another rapidly with both his quirk's power and the momentum he had gathered, watching as they collided together and promptly collapsed on the floor.

"However, even if we had known more about him before, it might not have added any more information on him. From what he demonstrates in his fighting style, it seems like his quirk simply repels things away from him." The expression stuck onto the living mist refused to shift, even as it continued to follow Izuku's charge through the army one villain at a time. The same could not be said for the man next to him whose fingers slightly sped up as they continued scraping the side of his neck.

Momo hummed. "Not an exactly correct guess about his Quirk, but close enough for it to matter in this fight. It seems that this will be a problem for our own careers as well."

Surprisingly, Shoji spoke up at that. "I concur. It seems that heroes will always have the disadvantage information-wise. Such an unfortunate side-effect of the current heroics system."

"Whatever, why are you even still here talking? You have a job to do right now so get going." The villain clicked his tongue as he pulled his fingers only an inch away from the visibly sore portion of his neck and turned his hidden face towards the tower of purple smoke. The irritated urgency was clear in his hoarse voice, yet it did nothing to deter the ally he was attempting to grab the attention of as his eyes scanned over the scene once again.

"If I was able to, I would already be making it so." The yellow eyes slowly shifted themselves across the upper half of the haze until they met with the other hero, currently stringing along another unfortunate pair of villains with the grey cloth looped atop his shoulder as he slammed them into the ground, his long black hair having already returned to float unnaturally above his head. "But the moment that Eraser Head touched the ground, he erased my quirk. I can't move onto the next step of the plan yet."

The blue-haired villain's gaze lingered on the haze in deafening silence before he shifted his gaze onto the sight ahead of him, not locking onto either one of the rampaging heroes and instead staring at the plaza space ahead of him. His stagnant fingers twitched as they had yet to move from their position only an inch away from his neck, eventually giving in as they were followed by the rest of his digits apart from his thumb. They continued to scratch at his reddened neck as his hoarse voice returned, now deepened with his new layer of rage shrouded its usual raspy tone.

"I don't care. You were told to do something that needs to be done, and if it doesn't happen, it's game over. So do it."

Mirio's eyes narrowed. "He's acting like a spoilt child. Throwing a tantrum when something isn't going his way. Look at the way he's scratching his neck, it seems like it's a nervous habit."

All Might nodded. "All for One has been mentoring him for most of his life, he is probably used to getting whatever he wants. Unfortunately for us, with All for One in prison, Shigiraki has seemed to mature recently."

Nezu hummed. "Remember, while it is a bad thing that he is maturing, it would also be detrimental to all of us if he stayed in his overtly childish state of mind. I would rather face a mature, predictable villain than a childish and chaotic one."

The attitude did nothing to dissuade the taller villain from pulling his attention away from the fight, having heard the same darkened shift in tone numerous times in the past. Instead his vision remained locked onto Shota's form reeling back up from it's bent over form, unfurling the ends of his scarf from around his unconscious targets and back to its resting spot flowing around his neck. He let out a short sigh to quickly regain his level breathing quickly, missing how the piercing yellow eyes staring him down tightened as his hair relaxed almost exactly like before for the third time.

"As you wish." The hand-clad villain's masked face shifted slightly back to look at his side once the deep voice emanated after a moment of silence, giving him a clear view of his hardened expression before his eyes widened as the body of purple smoke beside him rapidly collapsed into itself without hesitation.

"Eraser! The smoke villain!" The sudden disappearance didn't go other Izuku's head as his head snapped over to catch what little he could before the misty pillar completely disappeared. His focus was stolen immediately after as the pair of bulky hands clashing with his own forced his posture back an inch before he regained his stance and pushed back with equal strength as his palms and fingers continued to glow.

"Dammit. I blinked for a second and he got away." Shota grit his teeth as his head locked onto the now empty space from before, refusing to let even the tiny feeling of dread seep onto his face. That same hidden feeling was what also caused him to quickly turn his head to look over his shoulder, scanning the empty staircase behind him along with the empty archway above where the class used to be visible from. "There's only one place he would be trying to get to in this situation."

1-A shuddered as they could guess where that was. Each of them had their own memories of the USJ incident, and none were pleasant.

Izuku's eyes widened as he processed the other hero's words from across the open space, followed quickly after by a set of rapid footsteps hitting his ears. The greenette's head snapped to his other side as the sight of the Erasure Hero sprinting across the plaza without any regard for the villains that watched him run back towards the towering staircase.

From his view, the counsellor could only watch as the gathering of villains that surrounded him began to move. He could see the confidence on their faces begin to sprout again as they converged on Shota's running form. The sight was more than enough to get Izuku's eyes to harden one again as he brought his view back solely onto the opponent he was still clashing with, meeting his cocky grin with his determined glare.

With their hands locked together by their own grips coupled with the attraction quirk adding onto the force, the villain was forced to follow the hero's movements as he quickly twisted his hands and yanked them towards the ground. The smile on the man's face transformed into surprise as the upper half of his body followed suit and caused his face to jerk downwards, only to be stopped in its tracks when Izuku's knee rocketed upwards with a burst of compressed air and crashed into the underside of his jaw.

Everyone was surprised when Mei yelled out at that attack. "Yea! You got this ten million! Kick their asses! That dudes gonna be out till next week!"

It was honestly a little scary for them all to witness her glee over violence. If they were able to, they would see another bit of Power Loaders soul exit his body and ascend to the astral plane.

The man's expression turned blank from the shockwave that travelled across his face, his grip rapidly loosening as his body was sent reeling backwards. The greenette gladly removed his own hands from his limp fingers and pulled his arm backwards, already clenching his fist as the trapped air moved to envelop it. Izuku's clenched fist shot forwards into the side of his staggered opponent's face, barely even lingering for a second before the air wrapped around his arm was released and sent hurtling into the villain's cheek.

He didn't watch the rest of the impact unfold as the man was forced backwards before falling to the ground in a lifeless daze, instead choosing to already begin chasing after the other hero. He broke out into a sprint as he chased after the back of the other hero as his discharged leg regained the green tint from before his attack, eventually matching the same hue as the charge on his other limb before they both released their compressed air all at once and sent the hero vaulting through the air.

Even if he had kept his focus completely on the stairs that he was hurrying to reach, Shota couldn't miss the villains in the corner of his gaze as they quickly moved to take up even more space in his vision, some of which already becoming emboldened enough to charge back at him again. It would have slowed him down too much for him to return their attempts to attack him, so instead he put all his focus into moving ahead and simply dodging and leaping out of the way of the attacks meant to stop him completely.

The tactic had worked for the number of swings and punches that came from his side, allowing him to get even closer to the stairway without ever breaking his sprint. But when his view was suddenly filled by a lone villain standing just ahead of the first steps, he let out a hiss as a hand moved up to grasp at the cloth closely wrapped around his neck, preparing to slow himself down almost completely to effectively respond to the fist that was being prepared for him.

He didn't have the change to shift his running speed before a green blur unexpectedly passed by his side and flew straight towards the villain ahead of him. The unidentified object quickly became clearer once a steel sole spun from behind the figure and looped around until it met the side of the man's head, knocking him unconscious from the sudden blitzing shockwave and driving him towards the ground out of the still sprinting hero's path.

"Now we have the escape scene of the movie… is someone filming this? This could be a big hit if we posted it." Almost immediately, Sero was shut down by the angry glares of around 30 people.

"There will be no recording devices out or active while my Quirk is on, Mr Sero, do you understand?" For the first time since they met him, Logar actually seemed threatening enough to be a top-secret government agent.

Sero just nodded his head and hunched down in his chair.

The immediate momentum that Izuku had carried as he had soared through the air had almost completely disappeared after he delivered his spinning kick, but left just enough for him to orient himself as he travelled past the villain he had struck and faced the hero still rapidly approaching the scene. His boots skidded against the concrete for a second before he stopped with both feet firmly planted as he stood before the steps.

Shota raised a confused eyebrow as the greenette had yet to follow up his finished attack by at least shifting to the side instead of blocking his path. His eyes locked onto his answer as he noticed his open palms lowering themselves and meeting each other in the middle, forming a small cup with his gloved hands. The realisation almost immediately set in as the homeroom teacher continued to sprint at an even greater pace, only giving a curt nod back to Izuku's resolute gaze before he quickly hopped forwards to close the gap between them.

"Are they doing what I think they're doing?" Kirishima's voice was full of hope as the Eraserhead on-screen approached Izuku.

Both of the Erasure Hero's boots landed firmly together in the foothold his ally had created, which buckled beneath his sudden weight before it ignited in a green light as they raised themselves back up. A short grunt left Izuku's mask as he leaned himself backwards and hoisted his arms further upwards, bringing the man's prepared form and bent legs up and past his head until his palms were aimed at the staircase behind him.

"C'mon… do it! It would be so cool! Do it!" Kirishima was vibrating with excitement at this point, a smile on his face.

The quirk charge that he had built up against the soles of Shota's boots expanded as his hands reached their apex height, the sudden force signalling for him to release the tension he had created in his own poise as he pounced from the hero's platform. He was sent rocketing up beside the flight of stairs and towards the landing underneath the archway, considerably faster than if he had just sprinted up them.

When it happened, Kirishima wasn't the only one cheering. The other students cheered along with him, and Kaminari yelled out. "YYYEEAAH! Yeet that teacher! That's so freaking cool!"

Kirishima smiled at the screen. "The trust that those two had for each other to perform such a tricky move is so manly! Knowing that your bro has your back and trusting them is so cool!"

Izuku didn't stand by and watch as the figure quickly grew distant from him again, instead turned his head back to his front side once his focus moved back onto the plaza teeming with villains. He took notice of the position being eerily similar to the start of the fight when he first landed, only now with the army's size cut down after his first charge through.

It was much easier to put his worries over the student's safety to the side now that he had watched the other teacher fly out of the fight and out of sight, leaving him with no hesitation when his limbs regained their glowing shroud and he charged forwards into the downsized crowd once again.


The audio cut out, and the screen went to black.

There was silence for a moment as everyone let what had just happened sink in. Slowly, some murmuring started, before growing into full blown discussions.

"He was so cool!"

"I didn't get to see it while we were there, but Mr Aizawa is really freaking awesome!"

"Midoriya was a badass in this world too! Did you see those moves?"

All Might let go of Inko's shoulders as she loosened up now that the alternate version of her son was gone. She glanced at the man and gave him a small, shaky smile. "Thank you All Might. It's odd seeing alternate versions of my son. Makes my heart hurt that I can't help them."

All Might gave Inko the widest smile he could, and found that he didn't even have to fake it (He had gotten so used to faking it). "Now I see where Young Midoriya gets his heroic heart! Don't worry about his alternates. I'm sure that as long as they have you, they will be ok."

In response to that, Inko, obviously, burst out into tears and crushed the skeleton in a brutal hug, murmuring thanks to the man.

The others smiled at such a sweet sight, while Mina got a dangerous glint in her eyes. Such a sweet moment was excellent shipping fuel, and they seemed to get along splendidly.

She saw something out of the corner of her eyes and saw Midnight nod over towards the pair and give Mina a wink. Mina winked back, smirking, before the screen made a beep noise.

The screen started to fade into white, and everyone quieted down in preparation for the next universe...
