Quirkless

Chapter 32 - Overhaul

Izuku took a deep breath, he could do this. Today was the day they were going to save Eri. All heroes involved were gathered in front of the estate, ready to barge in and free her. He was determined to save her so she would never have to have that fearful look in her eyes ever again! He had to find his focus, not get distracted by all the things that were troubling him lately.

Not only Kacchan, but also his recent discovery of Sir Nighteye's prophecy for All Might... He was set to die soon, or so it was predicted. His fight with All For One could've been the end of him! Izuku was still trying to process it... But he held onto the promise they made. That All Might would fight with him to live. To see things through to the end and twist fate itself!

Izuku took a deep breath, getting ready as the heroes announced their presence. Of course they expected them to put up a fight, they weren't going to just openly let the police do their search even with a search warrant. So Izuku wasn't surprised that they had to push their way through every layer of security they had, slowly but surely making their way through as more and more of the team got split up, fighting smaller battles all over the facility.

Things were hectic and chaos erupted all around them, but Izuku was determined to see things through to the end.
"I'm going up ahead!" Mirio exclaimed.
"We'll catch up to you!" Izuku yelled after him as he phased through the walls.

There was someone blocking them with their quirk and Eraserhead was having a hard time finding the source, so Izuku knew it was the best plan of action. Yet he felt uneasy to see Mirio senpai run off on his own like that... But it was for Eri! They couldn't let her slip out of their grasp again! Maybe he felt this uneasy because the League of Villains was involved somehow... Izuku had been extra wary of everything since they ran into Toga. He didn't have the best experiences with her, after all...

Ugh, they weren't getting anywhere like this! Izuku had enough of running in circles! He had to force Mimic out of the walls somehow! And so he activated his quirk, using full cowling to smash the hallway to pieces.
"There!" he yelled as he heard the villain's voice, pointing out where he was hiding in the walls so Eraserhead could locate him.

It didn't take long to take him out after that. Mimic wasn't all that big of a deal when he couldn't use his quirk. Allright, now they could move on without the hallway warping around them! It should be easier to navigate this underground tunnel system that way, right? Oh, Izuku just hoped that Mirio had already found Eri and was capable of holding off Overhaul until they got there...

When Izuku finally arrived on the scene, smashing wall after wall just to break through, his heart stopped beating for a moment. Mirio was impaled from several sides... Blood gushing out of his wounds... He was beaten and bruised as well. Things weren't looking good for him. Izuku didn't waste any time, charging at Overhaul full cowling, smashing him into the wall.

But then, as his eyes averted from Overhaul to the person that was with him, his whole world simply stopped. It was as if everything around him stopped moving and his life got paused. There... Next to where Overhaul just stood... No... How was that possible..? What could he possibly be doing here?!

"D-dad..?"

"I'm leaving, I'll see you at noon darling" Hisashi smiled, kissing his wife goodbye before taking his coat. Yes, his appointment shouldn't take all day. It hadn't taken long the previous time, even with the interruption of those meddlesome pro heroes, so it should be even faster now that he shook them off his tail.

You see, Hisashi's health wasn't back to full 100% yet. All For One took a toll on his body after the years and even with the quirks he gathered to counter it, the process was already irreversible... But with the help of a certain rewind quirk, he was able to restore his youth! At least, on the outside. The inside was still a bit of a mess, which is why he needed this second appointment with the yakuza.
