The Celestial Hero

Chapter 11

The trio of heroes in training stared at the chaos of what used to the central area of USJ. Downed villains littered the area as their teacher faced them off taking each one down efficiently before moving on to the next. It almost looked like a face and Izuku couldn't tear his eyes away. He guess Tsu felt the same considering Mineta was trying to get the attention of both of them.

It was then that the ringleader attacked, fast like an adder the villain's hand was on Eraserhead's elbow causing it to disintegrate before their very eyes. The years of experience their teacher had as hero had paid off as he was able to steal his elbow back before it got too bad. However this only seemed to go south from there. That's when the large villain started moving; faster than he could track with his eye. One moment the large villain was standing and a heartbeat later it was on top of Eraserhead, their teacher trying not to scream in pain. Kurogiri reappeared and seemed to tell the hand villain something, too quiet for Izuku to hear properly.

"Game over? Does that mean they're finally leaving?" Mineta whispered and Izuku guessed the shorter boy probably had better hearing.

There was no warning given before the hand villain charged the trio, stand outstretched to grab them the second he could. A flash of gold appeared and Leo was tackling them all out of harms way. The sudden appearance startled the villain into stopping.

"You two need to leave, it's too dangerous." Izuku insisted, pushing Tsu and Mineta towards the entrance.

"What about you ribbit?" Tsu asked. "What are you going to do."

"I need to get Eraserhead. I'll be quick and Leo is here to help me." He assured them with a smile. They left after that much to Mineta's delight, sneaking their way towards the entrance. Izuku turned back to face the hand villain who was facing off against Leo.

"No one told me this low level party had a summoner type." The villain had growled, trying to swipe at Leo.

While he hated not being able to help his spirit fight, he had to get to Eraserhead. "Open gate of the twins, Gemini." He shouted after pulling out their key. "I need you help me with Urano Metria."

"Are you sure piri?" Gemi asked. "You haven't had a lot of practice with it piri." Mini added.

"It's an emergency. It's the only thing I can think off that will stop that thing from killing Eraserhead." The twins looked at each other and nodded before they transformed into Izuku and the two Izuku's proceeded to hold hands.

"Survey the Heavens, Open the Heavens...
All the stars, far and wide...
Show me thy appearance...
With such shine."

The world around them vanishes, replaced by the celestial bodies. He wasn't sure how but he knew his eyes were glowing gold. The grip he had with Gemini tightened as if he was scared that the power if this would rip them apart.

"Oh Tetrabiblos... 
I am the ruler of the stars...
Aspect become complete...
Open thy malevolent gate.
Oh 88 Stars of the heaven... 
Shine!"

The pressure of the stars colliding with the creature was immense and Izuku felt himself winded like he had been struck by one of the flying celestial bodies. Their surroundings materialised around them once more and he could see the monster had flown off the underground hero and was lying, smoking, from a crater if its own. The battle between the hand villain and Leo seemed to have stop as they watched.

"No no no! Nomu put lots of points into regen!" The hand villain screeched. "You! You're a hidden mini  boss!" The man pointed at Izuku and hurled verbal abuse at the boy.

Izuku couldn't hear what the villain was saying over the ringing in his ears and the pounding his his chest. His eyes felt heavy and his while body felt like it was going to be one big bruise come tomorrow. Off to his left Gemini vanished having used up their stamina. He was thankful Leo came using his own since otherwise he would be alone against this villain. Izuku watched as the hand villain tried to run at him again but Leo was once again there to intercept. Maybe it would be alright if he rested his eyes for a little while, just a minute would be enough.

He could hear something. It was muted and quiet buy it was something. Was that some one calling him? Why would someone be calling him? Did something happen? The muffled noises were getting louder and louder and Izuku became more and more aware of how much his body ached. "I think he's waking up!" Who was that? It kind of sounded like Ochako. Finally he opened his eyes to see a bright light and immediately shut them tight. It took a minute or two to work up the courage to open them again and he was surprised to find himself half cradled in Leo's arms with some if his classmates looking at him.

"What happened?" He asked, throat hoarse and sore.

"You collapsed after you defeated the nomu creature and one of your spirits vanished. Gemini if I recall correctly." That sounded Like Yaoyorozu

"I stayed to make sure you would be okay." Leo started. "After you collapsed I was able to distract that Shigaraki guy until that hero you really like came. What was his name? All Right?"

"It's All Might, Leo." Izuku responded, almost with a sigh.

"Yea him. He took you and Eraserhead to safety then got the rest of your friends while Shigaraki and Kurogiri escaped. Now we're waiting for the police and ambulances to arrive." The spirit finished the brief retelling. "I should head back now before they arrive and think I'm a villain. You guys look after Izuku alright? He's a bit of a mess but he's a good person."

"Leo!" Izuku shouted at the disappearing spirit, a light blush dusting his cheeks.
