The Fullheroic Alchemist

Chapter 24

Aizawa dodged yet another clawed attack from Lust. This fight was being drawn out much longer than he'd wanted. Both Edgeshot and Midnight were forced to flee to fight their Nomus outside, leaving Aizawa to fight the homunculus controlled student himself. He was just thankful he could stop her from using Ashido's acid. He threw one end of his capture tool at her, but she was able to cut it short.

Lust: "Trying to tie me up? What kind of man are you?"

She attacked him again, one of her nails making a deep cut in his leg as he jumped back.

Aizawa: "That isn't what matters right now."

Lust: "Oh? Then what does?"

Another swipe of her nails, but they were stopped this time, being pushed back by something. It was then she noticed Aizawa had drawn his knife.

Aizawa: "What matters, is getting you out of my student's body and setting her free!"

He ducked as he removed his blade from her nails, letting them harmlessly pass over him. He had to finish this quickly, he could feel his eyes getting heavier. From his position, he charged at her.

Lust: "Well that isn't going to happen!"

She attacked and he jumped, getting another cut, but he kept going. He quickly got within arms reach of her and cut off her left arm as she attempted to strike him again.

Lust: "Ah! What happened to protecting your student!?"

Aizawa: "As long as you have that stone her body will be fine."

He stabbed into her stomach, but before he could do anything else, something struck his back, and hard. He fell to the ground and because of both the blow and the impact with the floor, he blinked. Still, he wasn't a pro for nothing. He acted fast, quickly rolling out of the way as a massive glob of acid hit the floor where his head once was. He then go to his knees and blocked a nail swipe with his blade. He finally looked at her to see what hit him, her arm was already fully healed, way faster than he anticipated.

Lust: "Well well, you look tired Eraser. Feeling worn out?"

She was right, he was breathing hard and was sweating profusely. He wasn't pushed this hard or forced to use his knife at the USJ. He list a lot of his fighting capabilities due to teaching long ago. It was his own fault for not training regularly or taking on the dangerous cases he used to. He gripped his knife harder.

Aizawa: "Not a chance."

Lust was about to throw acid at him, be he quickly used his quirk and stopped her. This led to her winding up another slash. Thinking quickly, Aizawa grabbed the  table and kicked it towards her making her defensively cut it rather than attack him. The next thing she saw were two metal chairs flying at her from either side that he threw using his capture tool as well as Aizawa charging her directly. She swung both arms cutting the chairs and aiming for the hero, but missed him.

It was then she noticed he wasn't holding his knife. He grabbed two chair pieces out if the air and quickly closed the distance between him and her. Using the sharp metal pieces, he pinned her arms to the wall by stabbing through them. He then pulled out his knife again and plunged it into her chest, just above the Oroboros mark.

Aizawa: "Talk, and I might let your stone stay intact."

Lust scoffed.

Lust: "And risk killing your precious student? You don't have the balls to do that, Eraser."

He twisted the knife.

Aizawa: "I can find a quirk to save her." *Yelling* "Now talk!"

Lust: "Now now, that's no way to treat a lady."

Aizawa put his face a mere inch from hers.

Aizawa: "We both know you're no lady. And I'm starting to think we don't need you."

He backed up, removed his knife and stabbed her stomach as her chest began to heal.

Lust: "And just how do you plan to get rid of me? The stone ensures I stay. Even if you remove it a new body will grow around it."

Aizawa: "Oh I am well aware of that and that stone is going no where. But thanks to Midoriya, I know another way."

Lust: "And what could that brat have told you that makes you think you can do anything without Alchemy!?"

Lust laughed as Aizawa stabbed her shoulder.

Aizawa: "That each time you regenerate, the souls inside the stone are used as fuel. What would happen if the soul chosen to represent Lust gets used?"

Lust: "Ha! This body's soukd would have to take control for that to happen!"

Her chest again.

Aizawa: "Well then, she better. Ashido, if you can hear me, wake up. A real hero would find a way out of this situation."

Another stab to her gut.

Aizawa: "Wake up and use her soul."

Izuku transmuted a stone wall to block a fire blast from Greed. As the fire died down, Iida charged forward and kicked the bulky homunculus, but even with his engines, the carbon armor barely suffered a crack. Todoroki froze Gluttony's legs and both Gran Torino and Stain kicked him away again, but the little damage it did healed quickly. Izuku looked around, this was bad. They were up against the two most physically durable homunculi, and even fighting them four on two wasn't working. It was then he hit an idea.

Izuku: "Todoroki! I have an idea!"

Todoroki blasted fire that Gluttony to keep him away.

Todoroki: "I'm up for suggestions here."

Izuku: "We can't fight them. We need to get to populated areas so they'll fall back or don their hero personas again. Throw some ice my way and I'll make us some cover!"

Todoroki: "Like the Sports Festival! Right!"

He quickly turned around and stomped his right foot, sending a large wave of ice at Izuku, who clapped his hands.

Izuku: "Get ready to run!"

He reached out his hand as the ice approached him, and used destruction alchemy once again to create a mist of ice and water particles. This distraction was just in time as Greed attacked again, hisbattack landing next to Izuku.

Izuku: *Yelling* "Now! Go!"

He grabbed Iida and Stain and ran in the direction of the center of Hosu. He just had to hope that they were fast enough.
