Chapter 7: USJ Part 2

I do not own BNHA

.....................................................

Nastasia was well aware of the power behind her quirk, and she had strengthened her body to help ensure she could withstand all of her fights. She had only fallen once in battle. That one time had costed Nastasia her entire career in Russia. She swore she wouldn't fall again.

Yet, here she was, bleeding out as a raging monster, she believed the hand man had called it a Nomu, screamed above her. She'd not only fallen hard, but now there were children present to be dragged into the fight.

Where did she mess up?

Dimitri had given her the run down before her and Kira jumped down.

They had both quickly taken down the weak villains, Kira using her earth abilities to immobilize the villains in the instance they woke up. They had both taken in effort to avoid the bird creature, as recommended.

It was going so smooth.

At least it was, until Nastasia noticed the foggy villain, which she realized was a warp gate user, disappeared. That was her first mistake. Not long after that Kira had been struck hard, the Nomu had managed to sneak up on her. His strength was quickly proven by the cracked rib Nastasia received from the blow.

Nastasia had gone for the man that was covered in hands then. While she managed to land a few good punches, she was forced to distance herself when his hand had latched onto her mask and it crumbled nearly instantly.

Nastasia racked her brain for the next move that had been made. Kira had started fighting the Nomu. However, it was made very clear quickly that the Nomu far outclassed the woman. Though Kira wasn't showing any of the wounds she was receiving, nor was she feeling them, Nastasia surely was.

Her problem was just beginning at that point, Nastasia realized now.

She had taken out the comic book with All Might. Given that character's power level, she was forced to draw back Dimitri and Kira. She knew that was one less person to help Eraser Head, but at that time she was too focused on the extremely strong creature in front of her.

However, fake All Might could not defeat the Nomu either. Instead he had been badly beaten as well. Any hit he landed instantly began to regenerate. Meanwhile any hit that fake All Might had taken were absorbed by Nastasia, and she did not regenerate.

Finally she had been forced to return fake All Might to his comic book. Nastasia herself lasted ten minutes against the Nomu before he had slammed her down and beaten her in.

Nastasia stared up at the Nomu, which had suddenly stopped as if a command had been given. She knew there was only one way she could possibly defeat the Nomu screeching at her, since clearly fake All Might had failed. That just ensured her that if All Might did actually show up in the flesh, he wouldn't be able to handle the Nomu himself.

"Russia's number one hero." A scratchy voice snickered, drawing Nastasia's attention up towards the hand man as he stepped to her side. "Without any of those characters, you're technically quirkless then, huh?" He began to itch his neck. "Your nothing without them. Pathetic. Just like all the other heroes, using others for your own gain."

Nastasia stared up at the man as he sneered down at her bloodied face. Her eyes traveled towards the stairs. Thirteen was down, and Aizawa was missing as well as a handful of students. She wasn't sure what had happened there.

"How are you so injured?" The man grinned, drawing Nastasia's attention back to him. "The Nomu hardly touched you. Yet you're covered in injuries, and there is a lot of blood pooling around you now." His grin widened as he lowered his hand towards her face, specifically her scar. "You're shaking in fear."
