Hands: "Nomu, kill the green haired brat."
Izuku whipped around and ducked just in time for the enormous fist of the Nomu to appear where his head was. A second fist was about to hit him when it was caught by solidified blood.
Vlad: *Yelling* "Move Midoriya!"
Izuku jumped out of the way as Vlad sucked his blood back up, allowing the Nomu to go through with the ground shattering punch.
Hands: "Hm. An Alchemist, your kind shouldn't exist anymore. Nomu, deal with the heros, I've got the brat."
He charged forward with his hand out stretched. Izuku clapped his hands and made a wooden staff which he used to block the man's attack.
Hands: "Shame that won't work."
Izuku: "What?"
He then noticed the man grip the staff, and then the staff turn to dust. Izuku quickly jumped back, but the man stayed on the offensive. Izuku was barely able to avoid the man's attacks. After just a few seconds, Izuku slipped up and got caught on his right arm.
Hands: "Your mine now."
Izuku watched as his sleeve decayed, and then as his armor started to rust.
Hands: "What? Armor?"
Izuku smirked.
Izuku: "What, you did call me an Alchemist, right? Aren't Alchemists supposed to be smart, or did you forget?"
He then kicked the man in the chest.
Izuku: "Let me show you just how smart I am!"
He clapped his hands and touched the ground, several different cannons appearing behind and next to him.
Izuku: *Yelling* "Duck!"
The cannons then fired but much to the man's surprise, none of the ammunition hit him. He looked behind him to find the cannons instead left several holes in the Nomu. Izuku then ran up, jumped, and sent a knee to the man's chin, finally knocking him out. Now that the Nomu had no commander, it stopped. Izuku walked over to it and plucked the stone from it's brain. Aizawa and Vlad both walked over too.
Vlad: "Is it done?"
Izuku: "Yeah. Now for what I came with you for."
Izuku walked over to the very center of the USJ to find the stone slab he had noticed before. Now that he had a better look at it, he realized it was a drawing of the reverse human transformation circle the book said Scar's brother invented.
Aizawa: "What is that?"
Izuku: "Something strange. I didn't know there were any physical records of it though."
Aizawa: "Answer the question."
Izuku: "It's the technique to reverse the process to create a Philosopher's Stone."
Aizawa: "So it bring people back to life?"
Izuku: "Sometimes. It completely depends on how long they've been dead. If the body is too decomposed, the soul will just move on."
He took the stone from his pocket.
Izuku: "While this is evidence, I can't just let all these souls stay trapped."
Vlad: "Do it."
Izuku nodded and placed the stone on the center of the slab. He activated the circle which then glowed before sparks started to shoot off of it. The stone then began to break apart and the souls inside were freed. Aizawa then noticed something where the slab once was.
Aizawa: "There's another slab beneath where that one was too."
Izuku made his way over to see what he was talking about, and he was right. This slab was covered in dirt and moss, though a quick swipe from Izuku's hand revealed what it was, a headstone.
Izuku: "'Here lies Ling Yao. Disgraced 12th prince of Xing, and traitor to his people.' What?."
Vlad: "Xing? You mean that old made up empire?"
Izuku: "Yes, and it's as much fantasy as you or me. It's a very, VERY ancient civilization, but this is wrong. He brought what the emperor wanted, a source of immortality, why would he be a traitor?"
Aizawa: "Would it be a Philosopher's Stone?"
Izuku nodded.
Aizawa: "The Emperor most likely found how to produce them, most likely from someone connected to their creator. Since you speak of this Yao so highly, that must mean he was a good enough man to try and stop the Emperor."Izuku: "And in doing so, branded himself a traitor."
Aizawa: "There's more. It seems to be an engraving done after the burial. 'To Edward, Alphonse, Lady Mei, or whomever sees this, Master Ling was buried with an important letter. He would want you to have it, so please find it if you can. -Lan Fan.'"
Izuku: "We need to get this ground overturned as soon as possible. That letter may tell us more about what happened. It may even hint as to why there is even one Philosopher's Stone in this era."
Vlad: "After we're done here of course."
Izuku: "Right."
Izuku clapped his hands and created a concrete barrier, blocking the head stone.
???: "Nomu. It is time to fight."
Izuku was able to defend with his armored arm when the punch came, but he was still launched far back. His armor also broke, the fight with the hand guy having done too much damage to it. Him, Aizawa, and Vlad all looked to the voice to see it was the man made of mist.
Mist: "Which of you harmed Tomura Shigaraki?"
It seems at the mention of his name, the man covered in hands stood up.
Shigaraki: "Ugh, what happened?"
Mist: "I was unable to prevent one of the students from getting out."
Shigaraki: "You fool Kurogiri! If you weren't our way out I'd destroy you."
They then both noticed that the Philosopher's Stone was missing from the Nomu's head. Realizing what happened, Shigaraki got mad.
Shigaraki: *Yelling* "You damn cheater! You cheated. Alchemy is cheating! You destroyed our weapon! Nomu! Destroy the brat!"
Izuku tried to dodge backwards, only to run into a tree. The Nomu appeared in an instant, seemingly faster than before, and smashed Izuku through the tree. As Izuku landed, he could feel his mind going blank. Just before he fully blacked out, a large man in a suit appeared infront of him.
All Might: "HAVE NO FEAR YOUNG MIDORIYA!"
Then Izuku fully lost consciousness.
