Yami Koshaku (Vigilante Deku)

Chapter 18 Rise To Fight

~Izuku's POV~

Today, Aizawa and I are taking class 1A to a training facility that simulates real life rescue missions. I've never heard about it until Aizawa told me about it and found it very interesting. We're currently on the bus, driving there right now and the amount of noise being made, specifically by one explosive blonde was giving me quite the headache. Thankfully, we soon arrive at our destination. Aizawa gets off first while I wait for everyone else to get off. Once I see that everyone has made off the bus, we make our inside the facility.

When we enter, we are greeted by Hero Thirteen who specializes in search and rescue. She is also another favorite of mine since she truly cares about the safety of others and doesn't focus on money and fame like other Pro Heroes.

"Hello everyone and welcome to the Unforeseen Simulation Joint or USJ for short. I'm the Pro Hero known as Thirteen and I specialize in search and rescue. Now to let you all know, this is where you will be training today. In total, they're six zones that simulate real life rescue situations. We have the Ruin Zone which simulate an urban environment with building that are in precarious conditions. The Landslide Zone that has sloped terrain and debris. The Mountain Zone that is filled with rocky areas and cliffs. The Flood Zone that has a lake, a ship, and even a slide. The Conflagration Zone that has another urban environment but is constantly on fire. Finally, the Downpour Zone the simulates heavy rainfall and strong winds. You'll be training in each zone today so you know what to expect during a search and rescue mission." Thirteen informs the class.

Many of the students are left in awe at the shear size of this place and also the fact that their meeting another Pro Hero. The students then start asking questions, like what zone will they will try first, if they can partner up with someone, or will there be someone to actually rescue. I feel a smile appear as I can see the excitement radiate off them. Iida raises his hand and Thirteen gestures for him to ask his question.

"I noticed that Hero AllMight isn't here today and I was wondering why?" Iida asks while doing his signature chopping motion. I roll my eyes at his question. Honestly, if these kids knew the real him instead of his public persona, they would not have that excited look in their eyes with the mere mention of his name.

"Unfortunately, he is taking care of some personal business that couldn't be avoided at the moment. He will be arriving once it is taking care of." Aizawa states with a tired look. We both know what that personal reason is and he should have retired already because of it. He's being reckless with continuing his Hero work. Iida nods at the answer he was given. Thirteen continues answering questions while Aizawa and I observe. I suddenly feel the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, warning me that something was about to happen.

"What the heck is that?" Kirishima asks while looking behind us. I whip my head around and notice a purple tinted portal appear, villains appearing from it. There were so many, all with different types of Quirks. A man with shaggy light blue hair and a hand on his face enters from the portal along with someone whose body is made out of purple mist, similar to the portal they came through and a creature that looked quite menacing. The purple mist man must be the one to have opened the portal in the first place.

Everyone of us gets into a defensive stance. The same villain with a hand on his face looks around and starts to scratch his neck out of frustration. The gesture looked oddly familiar to me but I couldn't place where I've seen it before.

"He's not here Kurogiri, looks like we're gonna have to change our plan a bit. Maybe he'll come if one of his favored students gets hurts." he says.

"You won't be getting near my class villain." Aizawa says. He then jumps in and starts fighting the villains off while I hang back to protect the class. 'Dammit there's too many of them, we're just preventing the inevitable.' I think as I try to find a solution to this. I look to Iida and an idea comes to mind.
