My Hero Academia: The Enduring Hero Deku

Izuku Midoriya was born Quirkless when his dream was to become a hero like his Idol 'All Might'. But when he was told by All Might himself that he couldn't be a Hero, his dreams are slowly crushed until he was offered the chance by All-Might. But what if Izuku had a Quirk, one that would allow him to endure the hardships of life and become the greatest hero ever. This is the Legend of The Enduring Hero Deku

"Talk"

'Thought'

** "Izuku Mutters" **

"ALL MIGHT HERO FORM!"

'ALL MIGHT HERO FORM THOUGHTS'

Chapter X: Enduring Adrenaline

Mineta stared in shock at the brazen statement that Izuku just said. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. He actually wanted to fight these guys!? He actually wanted to fight against the people that claimed to have a way to kill All Might!? What was he thinking!?

"Y-You can't be serious!?" he screamed as looked at the green haired boy in disbelief. "Are you seriously suggesting we fight these guys!? We're just kids and this is our first days of high school! We should just bunker down and wait for the pro heroes to show up!" he screamed in fear while Izuku shook his head.

"From this point, I don't think we have much of a choice. Sooner or later these guys are going to stop waiting around and attack us. And from the looks of it, they are well suited for aquatic battles. We can't afford to stay here much longer, so like it or not we have to fight back." Midoriya said calmly with a hint of nervousness in his own voice.

He wouldn't be the last to admit that he was afraid, hell aside from the Slime Villain a year ago this would be the first time he had actually have to fight for his life, with both his Quirks no less. Not only that but they were also probably attacking their own classmates in much more dire situations. They couldn't afford to wait, they had to strike.

"He's right, Mineta. These guys have no intention of letting us live and without the aid of pro hero we have to fight back." She said calmly with her usual passive face. Part of being half frog most likely. Mineta could only shake in fear at the prospect of fighting.

"Still, there's something that's been bugging me since we got here." He turned to Asui, "They sent you here Asui-uh! I mean Tsuyu!" he quickly corrected.

"It's okay, take your time saying my name."

"R-Right, thank you…anyway, if they were really planning on fighting us, then why did they send you here to the Flood Zone? Wouldn't it have made more sense to send you somewhere that wasn't to your advantage?" Tsuyu seemed to brighten up at this, at least he thought she did, as she nodded.

"You're right. If they knew about my Quirk, then they should have sent me over to the fire Zone there." She pointed as they looked at a large dome-like building with flames painted on the side. "In a hotter environment, I don't perform that well because of my frog physiology."

"Maybe the reason they sent you here is that they don't know about our Quirks? I think they're hoping to overwhelm us with large numbers rather than with clever tactics. It would explain why there's so many of them, instead of specific individuals that could potentially counter our abilities. It seems like they just gathered people for a specific zone and tossed them in here. If that is the case, then right now these guys don't know what we can do and that gives us an advantage." He told them with an analytical view and a brave face.

"That means we have the advantage of surprise and will allow us to exploit it." He looked at the villains as they swam around the boat. "So, I think right now we should take stock of our abilities and try to think of a way out of this." Tsuyu nodded as they bent down and out of their view.

"I'll go first. You can probably guess already but my Quirk gives me similar abilities to that of a Frog. I can stick to most surfaces and my tongue can stretch out to 20 metres. I can also eject my stomach to clean it – but it's gross so that's not helpful – and I can secrete a poisonous fluid. It's not actually poisonous, but it does sting a bit."

Mineta blushed as his mind went to dirty places. 'S-Secrete!'

Izuku looked a little disgusted at the purple boy's perverted face before he returned his focus.

"My Quirk is uh…two-parter Quirk, I guess. I can increase my strength to superhuman levels and I can also absorb physical damage from powerful blows and convert the energy into my fists at twice the power. Afterwards, my body builds up an Endurance to that level of pain for the next time. But I'm still learning to control my Quirk and if I go over my limit, I will break my bones. At the moment my limit is 3 to 4% maybe even 5 if I push it?" He told them, careful not to reveal the truth of One for All.

Mineta popped of a ball off his head and placed it on the wall. "My Quirk is called Pop-Off. Basically, I pull these little balls off my head and stick them to anything, depending on how I'm feeling. If I take too many of them my head will start to bleed, and they don't stick to me. It's kind of like the 'I am rubber, you are glue' saying."

Both of the teens stared at the boy before small tears began to build up.

"WAH! DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT! I KNOW MY QUIRK IS TOTALLY USELESS!"

"Ah! No that's not it! I think it's a great Quirk! We just need to find a way to use it in this situation!" Izuku tried to explain before a sudden and violent wave blasted the side of the boat. "Shit! They're done waiting!" he exclaimed as the villains in the water grinned at the sinking boat.

Mineta freaked and panicked as he randomly threw his pop off balls into the water. Izuku was initially going to tell him to stop panicking when he noticed that the villains were avoiding the balls. It was then that an idea began to form in his head as he removed his glove while the boat slowly started to descend into the water.

"WAH! WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!" he wailed while Tsuyu looked calmly at him.

"Mineta, are you sure you came to U.A. to become a Hero?"

"SHADDUP! IT'S PERFECTLY NORMAL TO BE SCARED LIKE THIS! YOU'RE THE WEIRD ONE FOR NOT BEING SCARED! WE ONLY JUST STARTED HIGH SCHOOL A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! I NEVER EXPECTED TO BE THROWN INTO A LIFE OR DEATH SITUATION SO SOON! THERE'RE SO MANY THINGS I WANTED TO DO BEFORE I DIED! I NEVER EVEN GOT TO GROPE YAOYOROZU'S BOOBS!"

'…Why are you even here?'

Somewhere in the Mountain Zone, the creation user shivered as she had a sudden urge to smash a punch of purple grapes when she got home. But snapped out of it as she, Kyoka and Kaminari fought off a group of villains.

Izuku looked at the water as he stood near the edge of the railing. "…The moment when a Villain believes they are victorious is the moment when you take your chance'. All Might once said that in an interview a long time ago." He spoke as both Tsuyu and Mineta stared at him. "This is our only chance if we want to get out of here…"

"M-Midoriya, what are you-!?" Mineta asked but stopped when he saw the determined look in his eyes, despite the fact his body shook.

"Everyone, I have a plan but I'm going to need your help. Tsuyu, when I give the signal, jump! Mineta, when I do throw as many Balls as you can into the water, don't stop no matter what!" he told them as Tsuyu nodded and grabbed the small purple boy, who could only look at the boy in awe.

He stood on the edge of the railing as he screamed at the top of his lungs, flooding his legs with 2% of One for All, and jumped into the air. He soared above the villains who only looked at the boy thinking he was an idiot as he began to fall towards the water.

What they failed to notice, however, was the red glow that started to spread around his finger and the small amount of muttering that escaped the boy's lips. ** "They have us completely surrounded and there's too many of them to hit with a big smash and I can't sacrifice my whole arm. But if I take into account of the water and what I did at the beach and during the test!" **

His mind flashed to the large waves he could produce with a flick of his finger, then the moment he threw the ball during Aizawa's Quirk apprehension test as he flooded his digit with 100% and aimed at the water.

** "So, if I can't hit all of them…then I just need to hit the water…" **

"Delaware…" the power of One for All surged in his finger as he screamed at the top of his lungs. "SMASH!" a large shockwave shot off his finger and slammed into the water. The moment the shockwave hit; a large hole carved into the water as the villains screamed in shock.

"And let physics do the rest!"

His right finger and thumb were red but nowhere near as bad as when he first forced 100% into his finger, thanks to Endurance. The sudden separation of water caused the water to start pulling in everything around it, as the Villains were unwillingly dragged into the sudden vacuum.

"TSUYU! MINETA! NOW!" he yelled just as Tsuyu jumped and grabbed the boy with her tongue. Mineta screamed as he pulled off multiple balls from his head, all the while screaming something about how pissed he was of Izuku being so cool? That didn't matter as the balls stuck to the villains as they were dragged into the water before it shot up a giant geyser and shot the bundled villains into the air.

"Mineta…Midoriya…" Tsuyu said as they sailed in the air. "You guys are pretty cool." She simply stated as they cleared the first Zone. Izuku held his hand as he felt a small amount of pride in their victory. They cleared the first Zone.

All three of them splashed down as they quickly resurfaced and slowly trudged through the water. Izuku looked back to the boat as it sank to the bottom of the lake and he breathed a sigh of relief. "We made it," he said as he saw the conjoined villains floating in the water. "Is that going to hold them?" he asked as Mineta nodded.

"I took a really good poop this morning, they're not going anywhere," Mineta said smugly as Tsuyu dragged him by his cape.

"Please don't talk like that, it's gross." She said then turned to Izuku. "That was a close one, huh Midoriya?" Tsuyu asked but stopped as the boy was muttering.

** "That was a really risky gamble. There was no telling how many more of them, but they didn't seem that smart otherwise they would have some guys in reserve at the bottom of the lake. But I guess they weren't thinking ahead. I am a little worried that the might drown being stuck together like that. Some of them might have less full-aquatic Quirks and might need to come up for air. But it looked like some of them had special gear which might last until the Pro's get here, but I can't be sure of that and they're villains so-!"

"Midoriya, stop that. It's creepy." She broke him out his trance.

"Ah! S-Sorry about that! Anyway, it looks like we landed not too far from the plaza. We should continue along the shoreline until we get to the exit." He said but stopped when they realised that there was no way to sneak around with the fighting still going on.

"But it looks like Aizawa-sensei has drawn all the Villains in the Plaza towards him. He's trying to keep them away from the others." Tsuyu noted as they watched the man fight.

"He's holding his own, but there's too many of them. Even for someone like him." Izuku noted while Mineta looked terrified as he snapped his head to Izuku.

"Midoriya, you're not seriously suggesting we fight them?!" he hissed as Izuku shook his head.

"No, I'm not saying we jump into the fight. They have us outnumbered and we'd just get in his way. All I'm saying is we wait for an opening and run to the exit. If we can lighten Sensei's load, then we'll try. But for now, we need to stay put and not get in his way." He told them as they nodded while Izuku turned looked around the USJ.

"I Just hope everyone else is doing all right?"

Meanwhile in the Landslide Zone

"W-What the h-hell?!" one of the villains managed to say as he and everyone around him were frozen in place like sculptures of ice. "I-Is this really a kid?!" Before they stood the culprit, Shoto Todoroki, as he looked unimpressed.

"I thought that because there was so many of you that you would be Elite or something? …But really you guys are nothing but thugs with Quirks." Todoroki surmised as he walked towards the closest Villain. Ice still streaming off his right side as he stood before the Villain.

"Now, that mist guy said you are all here to kill All Might. But I highly doubt sending a bunch of morons like you is enough to take him down. More than likely you were meant for us, which means only a few of you may actually be the dangerous ones. That means you lot have some sort of plan." He sat down as he glared at them.

"So, here's the deal, tell me what you're planning, and I'll unfreeze you before you get frostbite. I'm trying to become a hero after all, so I can't let that happen. Now, do we have a deal?" the villains all looked towards each other as they struggled to escape. But they were frozen stiff and could feel their limbs freezing.

With reluctance they nodded, "O-Okay, we'll tell you…" he said as Todoroki listened.

"Wow, that was awesome, Todoroki! You took down all these villains by yourself, you were even careful not to hit me! No wonder you're so cool!" a bubbly voice said with some floating gloves as Toru bounced up and down. Internally Todoroki flinched when he heard her voice as he realised that one of his classmates was here with him when he blasted the area with ice.

'…Shit, I nearly froze her as well…better not let her know that.'

Collapsed Zone

Loud explosions and screams echoed in the collapsed Zone as Bakugo fought his way across the villains. Beside him was the red hair hardening user – Kirishima – as both of them were dropped into the collapsed Zone and set upon by Villains. But the villains were completely unprepared for the explosive and durable combo that was Bakugo and Kirishima.

The two stood around the defeated villains as they piled them on the floor.

"Okay, that's the last of them," Kirishima noted as he dropped the last one. "You've got some pretty good moves there, you're awesome!" He praised while Bakugo only commented on how weak they were.

"Anyway, we should probably go and help the others. If we got dropped off here then that means everyone else is still in the USJ, right? I'm a little worried about the rest of our friends that don't have means to fight back. And it was our fault for getting in Thirteen's way when we charged in like that. As men, we have to take responsibility for our actions and-!"

"You can go if you want but I'm going to go take out that Portal-Prick." Bakugo interrupted as Kirishima gaped at him.

"What?! You're seriously going to keep fighting that guy?! Besides you saw that guy, none of our attacks could hit him."

"Shut up! I know that, but I figure that guy is their ride, we take him out then these guys are stuck here for the pro's, and I wouldn't go after him if I didn't have a way to beat him. Besides…" a villain screamed as he jumped towards Bakugo, knife ready to stab him in the back.

Only to be grabbed in mid-air and slammed into the ground with a powerful boom.

"If all they sent after us are these idiots, then the others should be fine," Bakugo spoke calmly while Kirishima blinked.

"Wow…that was very calm and rational of you. I mean normally you're like…" an image of Bakugo raging appeared in his mind as the version kept shouting. Die! Die! Die!

"I'm always calm and rational, you damn broom head!"

"Ah! There he is!"

"Tch! Whatever, I'm going after him. You can come if you want, I don't care." Kirishima grinned as his skin hardened.

"All right you convinced me, man! I'm coming too! Us men have to stick together after all!" Bakugo didn't say anything but nodded as the two left for the plaza.

Back at the Courtyard

Izuku, Tsuyu and Mineta starred in absolute horror as a large back creature held down their teacher, his arm bent in disturbing and odd angles as blood slowly spread around him. It wasn't that long ago that they managed to watch their teacher continue to fight off the villains one by one. It looked like had the advantage when they had heard some sort of scream coming from the top of the stairs as the fight had started to turn from their favour into that of the villains.

From the sound of it, thirteen had gotten injured, while Aizawa managed to make his way to the blue-haired kids to take out the Boss. But the kid had managed to anticipate his Quirk and grabbed his arm, causing it to break apart slowly. Luckily, he managed to get away from him but was then swiftly taken down by the large black creature the kid called Nomu – The Bioengineered Anti-Symbol of Peace.

"Cancelling out Quirks…that's a pretty cool ability, even for a pro…" the leader said as Nomu pinned Aizawa down. "But against overwhelming power…you might as well be Quirkless!" he mockingly laughed as Nomu continued to snap his right arm.

Aizawa struggled as the beast crushed his arm like a twig. His eyes flashed red as he tried to erase its Quirk, but Nomu just slammed his palm down and crushed his other arm, causing him to cry out in pain.

'This guy! Anywhere I look on him should have erased his Quirk?! But his strength is unbelievable! That means at a base level this guy is as strong as All Might!' Nomu grabbed his head and slammed it into the ground causing it to crack and splinter.

Midoriya and the others could only watch in terror as they broke the pro hero to pieces. "T-This is bad Midoriya!" Mineta hissed as he shook with fear. "W-We need to get out of here!" he trembled while Tsuyu hid more in the water.

Izuku could only stare numbly as the villains overpowered their sensei. His body trembling with both fear and anger as he wanted nothing more than to stop their violence. But he knew that he didn't stand a chance against these guys, not with his level of control. All he could do was watch.

A black portal appeared as Kurogiri appeared before them. "Tomura Shigaraki, we have a problem. Thirteen is incapacitated but one of the students managed to get by me. He's one his way to alert the others, we're out of time."

The guy – known now as Tomura – stared at Kurogiri before he started scratching at his own neck. His scratching growing more feverish as small groans escaped from his lips. "Oh…Oh…Kurogiri. You…if you weren't our only means of escape, I'd turn you into dust…We can't take on a Dozen Pro-Heroes, even with Nomu. It's game over man. Game Over…for now at least…"

He slacked his shoulders almost disappointedly. "We're Leaving." He said as hoped soared in Mineta.

"D-did you guys here that!? They're leaving!" he latched himself onto Tsuyu as tears streaked down his face. "Isn't that great!?"

"Yeah but…" the little perv was latched into her chest before she grabbed his head and held him under water. "I don't like this Midoriya," she casually said while holding Mineta under the water.

"Yeah, it doesn't make any sense. Why would they go to all this trouble and then just leave? Is it because All Might didn't show or because we managed to get a warning out to the teachers?" he looked cautiously at the group as his instincts told him that something was wrong. Tomura suddenly snapped his fingers.

"Oh, but before we leave…" for a brief moment he was gone and right in front of Tsuyu. "let's break the 'Symbol of Peace's' pride a little?"

He moved so fast, faster than Izuku could keep up and before he knew it, he was right in front of Tsuyu. His mind replaying the same integrating effects that damaged Aizawa's arm as he was replaced with Tsuyu as she slowly crumbled to ash. Her body was frozen still as she like everyone waited for the worst.

Yet nothing happened as Shigaraki stared confused before chuckling. "You truly are amazing…Eraserhead."

His gaze shifted back as Aizawa managed to lift his head up long enough to use his quirk on the man and saved the frog girl. Yet even he knew that he was powerless to stop the Nomu from slamming his head down into the dirt. But that moment was all Izuku needed to snap back to his senses as he instantly summoned everything, he had with One for All and flung it straight towards him.

"GET AWAY FROM HER! SMASH!" he slammed his fist as a large shockwave blasted outward and covered the area in dust. For a moment nothing happened as Izuku felt no pain in his right arm or any broken bones.

'My arms not broken. Did I…did I manage to control it at the last moment?' but his hope was dashed away as Nomu towered over them. His fist resting harmlessly against the monster's stomach as its eyes seemed to grin at him.

"That was a nice punch, and you called out smash right before you hit him. Are you an All Might fan?" Shigaraki asked as Nomu quickly grabbed his arm and held the green haired boy, as Izuku grunted in pain from how tight the beast held his limb.

'Gah! What the hell! His grip is so strong!' a brief memory of his talk with Tsuyu flashed in his mind as his eyes widened in fear. 'Oh no! No! It didn't work on him! This must be what Tsuyu was talking about! This is the thing made to kill All Might!' Shigaraki grinned behind his hand.

"Whatever, deal with them Nomu." He ordered as time seemed to slow down.

Izuku's mind was racing as he saw the beast lunge towards him, saw how this Shigaraki guy was about to attack Tsuyu again, and even saw her attempt to both help him and Mineta. But Izuku's first priority was to stop Shigaraki from killing his fellow classmates. He knew that he couldn't stop this Nomu guy from attacking him, but he could help Tsuyu and Mineta get away. Charging everything he had into his finger, plus the pain he felt from Nomu's grip, Izuku aimed his One for All and Endurance finger at the water. With a flick of his finger, a large shockwave snapped and blasted the water between Tsuyu, Mineta and Shigaraki. The blast pushing the two away far from the hand man, while forcing Shigaraki to tumble away.

"Midoriya!" he heard them yell before he sent the two one determined glare and yelled the message loud and clear

"Asui! Mineta! Get out of here!" he yelled as they landed far into the water. He saw the hesitation within Tsuyu's eyes before she reluctantly turned away and dived into the water with Mineta. Their forms diving under and evade quickly with her Quirk.

Shigaraki grunted as he shook the dirt from his hair. "Two of them got away, what a pain." He looked over to Midoriya as the boy was held in Nomu's grasp. "But at least we got one of them, playing the hero of all things." Izuku gasped and grunted as the beast held his arm.

"Oh well…one dead kid is as good as any…do it."

In any other timeline, All Might would've burst in through the doors and saved the Class 1-A students. He would've beaten up the Nomu to a pulp and sent the Villains packing.

But in this timeline, there was a slight delay. In this timeline, All Might was still in the teachers' lounge and only just began to leave for the USJ. In this timeline, he would not make it in time for what the Nomu was about to do to his young protegee. In a world where Izuku had one extra month to learn One for All…

Was also the world in which the Number 1 hero would be late by 10 minutes.

The beast slammed the boy into the ground as the stone cracked and splintered. Blood spat out of his mouth as his bones rattled from the impact. He instantly felt the effects of Endurance kick in, but the pain was far greater than he could ever imagine. The energy flickering out of control before it faded. His vision went full white from the impact as the beast swung him again and slammed him into the ground. A large spider web-like crack spread out as the boy cried out in pain.

Right before he could scream anymore a fist slammed into his chest and he felt all the air being forced out of his body and the rush of a metallic taste spilling out of his mouth. The grinning form of Nomu standing over him as he slowly felt his body growing numb as warm blood leaked from his mouth. He could feel at least several of his ribs were broken and his right arm was no doubt suffering from fractures and intensely obvious dislocation.

If wasn't for the fact that his body was slightly stronger than before thanks to his Quirk, that punch would've killed the young Hero training.

It didn't, however, stop the intense amount of pain that was now circulating around his body, the greatest pain resonating in his chest and his bones. The Nomu stood triumphantly over the boy as it roared.

This noise attracted many of the others in the area as the villains grinned at the bloody sight, it caused the terrified teens to stare in horror at the blood-stained form of their fellow classmate and it caused a certain gravity girl to stare numbingly at the broken and defeated body of her friend. But most of all it caused the 'leader' of these villains to grin madly behind his hand as he savoured watching all hope for getting out alive left their eyes.

"Game over"

What happened next was could only be described as a flash of Emerald and Crimson lightning

Unknown

Weightless…confused…scared…cold…alone

These were the things that Izuku felt as he drifted in the strange blackness. His eyes slowly opening as he found his entire body covered in a strange dark mist that only showed his upper face. He looked around at the empty void as all he felt was nothing. Before he could question anything more eight sets of glowing eyes shown in the darkness and appear around him. A myriad of colours surging all around him as red lightning surged and roared with a thunderous clap.

His body struck by the crimson spark as he felt every fibre of his being was set on fire. A rush of energy coursed its way through his body and the eyes that surrounded him glowed brighter than before as he could've sworn for a moment, he heard voices saying…

…Do not worry…

…Everything will be all right…

…For you are not alone…

White pupil-less eyes snapped open as red and emerald lightning surged around his body. A loud thunder-like clap resonated in the USJ as the Nomu didn't even have time to register what happens before it was sent flying across the field. A large blast of wind knocked everyone back, followed by a cloak of dust that covered the scene.

From across the field, slammed into the side of the Building. The large beast called Nomu was, laying against a large spider-like a crack in the wall, was groaned and gasped in pain as it held a large fist like mark embedded in its stomach.

The whole filed was drowned in silence as they stared at the down form of the giant beat. The students above the stairwell and the villains had wide eyes and slack jaws as the monster that had terrorised them before was now groaning in pain across the room. Shigaraki and Kurogiri and stared in absolute shock as the beast stumbled to stand back up.

"W-What the hell? What the hell happened to my Nomu-!" a bright glow caught his eye as everyone turned to the centre of the cloud of smoke.

His eyes widened as the previously downed wannabe Hero was standing before the assembled crowd. His skin was literally glowing like sparks of red and green lightning surged around his form. His hair had begun to stand up and become more spiked with small areas shifting between green and red with sparks of yellow energy radiating out of his pupil-less eyes.

An all too familiar form was presented to Ochako as she stared at the once again glowing figure of Izuku Midoriya. "…Deku?"

Shigaraki glared at the boy as his fingers twitched. "W-What the hell is this!? Is this some kind of hack?! You can't have a second life! That's cheating! Nomu!" the beast stumbled forward as the fist-shaped mark on its stomach had disappeared. "Kill him!"

Nomu roared as it sped towards Midoriya at insane speeds. Only when it finally reached him the boy was gone the faint sign of an afterimage was left in its place. Before the Nomu could even begin to register what happened another fist slammed right into its face sent the best tumbling away before readying itself again. Only for Midoriya to reappear in front of Nomu and slam another fist into its gut, a blast of red energy shooting in and out of its body as the Nomu vomited blood.

A large shockwave blasting forms each hit as Midoriya almost looked like a blur of Crimson Emerald lightning as he kept speeding around the beast. Aizawa managed to barely open one eye as he watched his student moving like a blur.

"M-Midoriya?"

"What the hell How the hell is he hurting Nomu!?" Tomura yelled as Nomu slammed into the ground.

"It looks as though that boy is able to bypass his shock absorption and land solid blows against Nomu." Kurogiri analysed as the beast stumbled back and tried to find the boy, only for him to move faster then the best could track. "No…it's more like he is shooting concentrated physical energy into Nomu that affect his inner workings. I think it's almost like getting shot with buckshot, the shock absorption can't handle concentrated hits of power!"

Tomura growled. "Then get him away from Nomu! We can't risk this kid managing to stop our Anti-All Might!" Kurogiri nodded as he prepared to teleport the hero away, but a large shockwave blasted into them as the wind pushed the mist back.

"He's creating too much wind! I can't get close enough to portal him away!" Tomura growled at this as he felt his fingers twitch.

Up at the stairway, the other students stared in a mixture of awe and fear as the timid emerald haired boy was acting completely different. "Whoa! What the hell is up with Midoriya!? He's like a freaking beast at the moment!" Hanta Sero exclaimed as he and the others watched Izuku seemingly overpower the beast.

"I know, it's completely different from when he versed Bakugo," Shoji commented as his multi-limbed eyes barely tracked the speeding boy. The large shockwaves blasting off from the impacts made it even harder to track.

"Who cares! We may actually get out of this one!" Sato exclaimed as the large muscular boy felt some relief.

Ochako, on the other hand, was not as enthusiastic and was more worried than anything. She had remembered that form of Deku months ago during the exam and remembered vividly what had happened to him afterwards. The broken limbs, the unconsciousness. She feared what would happen to him when this mode died down. And whether or not he'd be able to get back up.

"Everyone!" they turned around as they saw Mineta and Tsuyu running towards them. A barely conscious Aizawa being carried as they hobbled their way to the staircase.

"Tsuyu! Sensei! You're okay!" Ochako exclaimed as they reached the top of the stairs.

"…I'm fine too you know?" Mineta complained as they set Aizawa down and Sero got to work on using his tape to bind his wounds. Tsuyu looked down to the courtyard as the crimson and emerald blur of one Izuku Midoriya continued to pummel away at the beast.

"What happened to Midoriya?" Tsuyu asked as Ochako shook her head.

"I…I don't know, we all saw that beast attack Deku and then…" a shockwave blasted around them as Nomu roared in anger before being flattened into the earth. "He turned into that." One for All sparking around his leg before he kicked the Nomu in the face and sent the beast spiralling back.

"That's Midoriya?" Mineta asked with a slight tremble in his voice. "Damn him! Why does he have to be so cool!?" Mineta asked with a hint of jealousy in his voice.

"But…" Tsuyu turned to Ochako. "Something like that can't come without a price, can it?" she asked as Ochako nodded and the group turned back to the fight.

Izuku slammed his fist into the monster's mouth as teeth and blood splashed the ground. Nomu roaring in pained fury before it was swiftly kicked in the head and spun around in the air, nearly slamming into the roof before plummeting back down to earth. The empowered version of Izuku reared back his fist as the energy circulated around his fist.

"Detroit…" what sounded like several other voices melded with Izuku's spoke out from his mouth as the creature neared the swinging fist. "SMASH!" a large shockwave reverberated out as Nomu went shooting back and tumbled across the ground before slamming into the side of the building. Large cracks spread out from the blow great blasts of wind nearly threw everyone off their feet.

Dust clouded the area as everyone stared with wide eyes as the smoke cleared and Nomu was seemingly imprinted into the wall with a large fist shape mark in its face.

Tomura had wide eyes and twitching fingers as he angrily curled them into fists. "…This…this isn't fair…" he started scratching his neck as his whole body began to shake. "Y-You cheated! You used a last-minute item and boosted your stats! This can't be happening!" he yelled in anger as the other villains had wide eyes and hanging mouths.

"Tomura…" he looked to the portal man as he swirled around him. "We should retreat now; the teachers will be here any minute." Tomura was about to argue before he shifted his gaze to the boy as his body slowly stopped glowing and his limbs looked like mashed purple messes.

Izuku collapsed onto the ground as all his limbs were purple and angled slightly. His eyes fully closed as he had passed out from the pain that was no doubt coursing through his body. A small groan exited his lips as he barely regained consciousness. His vision blurred and his body ached as he lay flat upon the ground.

"Deku-kun!" Ochako called out in fear as Sato and Sero were about to run down for him. Until a small rumble caused everyone to turn as the eyes of everyone widened in both horror and one of excitement.

"No way…" Mineta quivered while Tomura grinned.

"Not just yet…" Nomu slowly, but painfully pulled itself from the wall bits and pieces of its broken body began to snap back into place. "It looks like our Boss still has some HP left." Nomu cracked its body back into place as it slowly stumbled towards the green haired child, who could do nothing but glare as the beast's shadow slowly began to loom over him.

"I have to admit, for a lonely NPC, you had me worried there for a minute." Nomu reached down and grabbed the boy by his head as he dangled him in his giant hand. "But thankfully it seems you were still no match for Nomu's Shock Absorption or his Regeneration abilities," Tomura spoke as he walked over to the boy.

"S-Shock Absorption and R-Regeneration?" he groaned as the beat's jaw snapped back into place.

"I would've like to see how the rest of this plays out..." From the above, the students yelled out in fear as they continued to hold back the villains that continued to pour towards them. "But sadly…" blood continued to drip from his lips as the Beast squeezed its hand over Midoriya's head, as gasps of pain resonated out as he felt his skull slowly being crushed.

"…It's Game Over…"

BOOM! CRASH!

Everything came to a halt as the doors to the U.S.J. exploded off its hinges and cover the area in a brief moment of dust. But from confusion came relief and heart-warming smiles came upon the would-be heroes faces and dread amongst the villains that would dare harm them. walking past the smiling faces, the enraged face of All Might appeared before them as everyone bellowed out to the entire world.

"ALL MIGHT!" many cheered in both happiness and fear, as everyone stared at the Number One Hero who for the first time in ages was not smiling. No, this was a rare moment in which the Hero that always entered the scene with a smile on his face, had a look of pure fury on his face. Especially when he saw the mangled form of his successor gripped within the clutches of the beast.

"Ah…the main boss has appeared," Tomura spoke loudly as All Might glared angrily at the assembled villains.

"…A-All…Might…" Izuku groaned out as he peeked an eye out between its clutches.

"I was on my way to meet with you all when I ran into young Iida in the hallway and he told me the what was happening…" he looked around to the relieved and crying faces, as he especially glared at the Beast holding Izuku, as he stepped forward. "…I am so sorry young ones for making you worry. But have no fear, why?" he reached for his tie as he ripped off.

"For I Am Here!"

And scene. Well here is chapter X of Enduring Hero of Deku. I was going to extend this chapter, but I have other stories to work on and I wanted to add what I have planned into my next chapter, so sorry for it being on 7000 words long. I will try to make it longer next time, no promise.

Now, Deku's Adrenaline mode was slightly different this time because of the recent manga chapters and knowing that there are Several other people, and their Quirks, living inside of Midoriya now. Adrenaline has a time lime, being only a few short minutes, and allows the previous users of One for All to influence his actions and limit the initial damage to his body while active. So, his limbs won't break while active, but they will break afterwards. Until he controls it.

Also, I wanted to do the USJ incident a little differently and did a What if All Might was late and Izuku got hurt? It's just useful to show off Deku's Endurance abilities against Nomu. Speaking of, I kind of need to explain it better.

Endurance gathers physical energy he receives and amplifies it in his body, then when realised it shoots that energy into a concussive and concentrated punch of power. Like how when he punched the fridge back in the first chapter. The same principle applies to Nomu. Concentrated physical damage being shot at near 200% in Adrenaline form was able to damage Nomu temporarily. Izuku is no All Might just yet.

If anyone thinks they can explain it better, please PMS me and I'll add it to the next chapter. Anywho, please review and stay tuned for…
