Dead Hero's Heart

Chapter 30

Present

"We are late, I know. But now I am here, AND I SWEAR I AM NOT LETTING HIM GET AWAY WITH WHAT HE DID TO MY FRIENDS" Izuku screamed on top of his lugs, rage radieting off of him as he stared down at the dumpster from the building they were in. Blue fire spread all around them, getting bigger and stronger by every second, being feed by the never ending trash that filled the entire area. And, in the middle of all of this, stood his friends. He could clearly see them all, injured and bloodied up. Iida's and Bskugou's bodies, laying shattered in the ground while Todoroki and Uraraka standing not far behind, both seeming in a better condition than the other two.

He let a groan escape from him as his eyes fixated on the villain his teacher had not long ago threw out of balance. He sure looked like Sabi to him, but yet, he was different in many ways. He seemed more muscular that he remembered, something quite unachievable in such a small period of time. Though, that was something he guessed they could talk about later, since now, they had more important things to do.

Subconsciously, he turned his head to look at the teen that had decided to follow them on their mission. Shinso stood there, eyes wide and mouth hanging open as he stared at the scene in front of him. 'Guess he didn't really believe Mr Aizawa when he told him that he was going to rescue students'. As realization started to dawn to the boy, someone could see his facial characteristics mold and change into some of horror. Though, no one could blame him, since indeed what they were witnessing was quite an upsetting sight.

Izuku, wanted to act, right then and there. Jump down and beat the crap out of the man that dared to harm his friends. But, he couldn't do that. He knew he should wait for his teachers instruction. After all, he was the pro and knew better about what should be done in situations like this one. He looked at him, expecting to hear some short of plan as well as what his role was going to be so he could proceed. But to his surprise, he found the hero lacking his usually calm demeanor. Now, the only emotion present was anger. And never had this lead to something good.

"Whats the plan sensei? How are we going to attack him?" he asked him, hoping to hear something effective. Eraserhead snapped his head to his direction and glared dangers at him, a move that took him aback. With his stern look looking down on him, he could only guess what his answer was going to be. "You two are not taking place in this. You are going to sit here and wait for the pro to finish the job. We cannot afford more people getting injured". He looked at his kind of confused, not really knowing if his teacher actually meant this or not. If he had to guess, of course he did, but what he said seemed to him a little ridiculous. "I am dead Mr Aizawa. Nothing can happen to me, remember?".

He got a cold and strict stare as an answer, making him understand that he was already aware of the fact before him voicing it. Then yet, he couldn't find sense in his words. He tried to continue with his argument but a hand stopped him. "You, need to stay here along with Shinso. We still don't know the full extent of you power, which can be proven dangerous in the middle of the fight. Furthermore, someone would be needed to protect the injured students. And as much as I don't want to admit this, Shinso cannot do that in case Dabi come after them. At least not alone".

Izuku looked still unsure of his teachers opinion in the matter. Indeed, they didn't know the full extent of his power, but yet, he still had One for All in his possession, something they were both familiar with and knew its extend. Up until now, he hadn't found any other ability within his mutant quirk that would allow him to fight, which meant that there was a minimum possibility of something 'malfunctioning'. Yet, he had to admit that he thought his judgment was correct about the fact that there needed to be someone to protect his injured friends from further harm. And as it seemed, he had to be the one.
