Hero Hunter: Izuku Yagi [opm x mha]

Chapter 43: Monster Association Arc

Izumi, Bakugo and Todoroki along with his group made their way to the other students. While on their way, Bakugo and Izumi had filled their point of views while underground to Todoroki and his group, with Bakugo telling them about their fight with Izuku and Izumi telling them about them about getting help from the others such as Fubuki, Bang and Bomb.

Soon after, they got to the area where their classmates were resting.

Izumi: "Huh... where did My mom and the others go to?" She asked Tsu.

Tsu: "They left. They said they were going to work with the other S-Class heroes to defeat the monster association boss." She said as she pointed at the sky.

Izumi looked up only to see 3 figures flying in the air, hundreds of meters in the sky. Endeavour and Drive Knight and the monster fighter jet.

Iida: "Todoroki... glad to see you guys okay."

Todoroki nodded before telling them about their experience.

Todoroki: "We were walking through the hallways then heard some screams. When we went to confront it, we saw atomic samurai fighting a monster. Worst part was... everytime he slashed the monster, it would get duplicated. It was to a point where there was like a million of these things around. Atomic Samurai got beaten but we got involved and I froze them. Then there was a mouse and cat chase but at the end, we managed to escape." He explained.

While they were talking, Mineta and Jirou had woken up.

Mineta groaned as he stirred awake, clutching his head. Jirou, already sitting up beside him, gave a slight shake of her head as she tried to steady herself.

Mineta: "Ugh... what even hit me? Felt like a truck..." He glanced around, confused. "Wait, did we... lose?"

Jirou: "Yeah, we lost." She frowned, her sharp eyes darting toward Izumi. "Your brother, yagi... he's way stronger than any of us expected."

The rest of the group fell quiet, their gazes shifting to Izumi. Despite the calm determination etched on her face, the lightning around her hinted at the storm raging within.

Mineta: "So... now what? We're supposed to fight that guy again?" His voice cracked slightly, and he looked around nervously. "Because if you ask me, that sounds like suicide."

Izumi stood in silence for a moment, her head slightly bowed as she mulled over mineta's question. The weight of everyone's stares pressed down on her, but she didn't shy away from it. Slowly, she raised her head, her eyes sharp with determination.

Izumi: "We'll have to face him. There's no way around it anymore." Her voice was steady, though the burden of her words was heavy. "Talking doesn't work—not anymore. He's too far gone to listen to reason, and every second we waste, the deeper he sinks into this... nightmare."

The group exchanged uneasy glances, but no one interrupted. Izumi's tone brooked no argument.

Izumi: "This is my responsibility. I brought all of you here, knowing full well what the risks were. I hoped there might still be a way to bring him back without fighting him, but after everything that's happened... after everything he's done..." Her voice faltered for just a second before she pushed on. "We can't keep pretending that words will solve this."

Iida: "Yagi... are you saying we'll have to—"

She cut him off sharply.

Izumi: "I'm not saying we give up on him. I'm saying we stop expecting him to come quietly. We'll have to face him—fight him, if it comes to that— To stop him. To hold him back long enough to remind him of who he really is."
