Izuku Midoriya: The Jinchuriki Hero

Chapter 8

"Has anyone every told you that your eye glows in the dark?" The Nomu shook his head at Toga's question. "Well, it's really cool."

Currently the two were standing at the highest point of a cliff looking over the forest, and not alone as they're accompanied by Dabi and Twice with some more new members. Their target is the small patch of light in the night below them, the area where the kids of UA are staying for their summer training.

"Quiet, I don't want to hear your flirting back there." Dabi said harshly. "It's disgusting."

"You're just mad that I'm happy." Toga grumbled.

"Just shut up. It's time to attack anyway." Dabi peered behind his shoulder. "Twice, come with me and Nomu you stay here for now. Everyone else," he gestured towards the forest, "complete the tasks you were assigned to do."

"Alright! Let's do this!" Twice twirled around, prancing about like he was on his way to a theme park. "I don't want to go! Please!"

"Wait a minute," a reptilian individual spoke out, "why does this Nomu has to stay put? I thought he's meant to help us?"

"I already sent the bigger one loose in the forest. I was told that this one is meant to scout and scan, maybe help us when needed." He turned to meet Twice halfway. "Alright, let's go wreak havoc"

Understanding his silent order the Nomu raised his index and middle finger together.

"Go, Dark Shadow."

The glare from the blue flames continued to spread far, eating away at everything it could reach. He observed that everyone was doing their part, attacking the heroes and students as they searched for one explosive blonde. He continued to scan the forest, his red eye seeing each villain clearly, as if he was standing next to them.

However, there was one member who he didn't find in the forest. His eye moved in a blur from one place to another throughout the forest, trying to find the giant bloodlust killer.

"Ahhh! Help!"

He looked down to where he heard that cry for help and concluded that's where Muscular had gone to. His eye spun before it allowed him to see through the rocks underneath him, able to see the hulking man approaching a much smaller figure.

'A child.'

Taking a step forward he dropped off the cliff and landed right in front the kid, effectively stopping Muscular from getting closer.

"Hey, what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to stay put?" Muscular was confused at this...Nomu was it? At the this Nomu's actions. "Wait, wait. That doesn't matter, what matters is why are you stopping me from killing that brat!?"

Muscular threw off his mask and removed his cloak, showing his scarred face. He wore a simple black tank top and pants, his face twisted in anger at being refused the chance to kill.

"He's not part of the archives list." The Nomu stated factually. He shifted his stance, blocking Muscular's view from the kid.

'Is it...is it protecting that brat?'

At that thought Muscular began to grin, a violent grin, before here started to laugh his ass off. He smacked his hand onto his forehead as his other one grabbed onto his stomach, expressing that the idea was too much for him to keep quiet.
