Unlikely As It May Seem (An Izumina Fanfiction)

Ch. 46: Part I: The Attack

The patrols were going steady for the most part. Nothing had occurred since everyone had been informed of what had been going on. Evacuations were already well underway, with most of the non-combatants having already been evacuated. Aizawa saw this as a good thing, especially with Eri now far away from any possible attacks.

It had been Inko Midoriya and the Ashidos who had agreed to take the little girl away. He had even gotten confirmation that they had made it safely out of the city...in the opposite direction from the recent destruction of Erebus Prison. It had been the first move from the League of Villains, and Aizawa didn't like the implications of what it meant for the attack on UA. Aizawa knew they wouldn't assault Tartarus, due to how well it was guarded, and further became guarded after the news of Erebus.

But that also meant that, on top of whatever forces the League had against UA, they now also had at least some of the prisoners in Erebus. Which included the recently apprehended Dabi, revealed to be Touya Todoroki. Aizawa secretly hoped that whatever Heroes that were able to be spared, and the support from Ketsubutsu and Shiketsu, got there quickly. They were going to need all the help they could get.

Right now, the groups were starting to rejoin, since the news about Erebus was quickly spreading. It was only a matter of time before the League showed up at UA. Luckily, he could see that everyone was prepared. Or, at least he thought they were.

As they neared the front gates of UA, he felt the rumble on the ground. He looked over to the students that were alongside him. They had felt it, too. They all looked towards the front gate, and that's when they saw him. Aizawa had heard rumors about such a person, but he was taken aback by just how lacking the details of that rumor was as he looked upon Gigantomachia. His eyes widened momentarily as the behemoth brought his arms up....and then slammed them down on the front gate.

The alarms immediately began to blare, as the sound of the klaxon was joined by what Aizawa could only describe as a battle cry coming from the rubble that was the front gate. As the dust settled, an army of Villains ran through. Most, from what Aizawa could tell, were the basic low level thugs that had been present at the USJ, as well as the Raid on the Shie Hassaikai. He could also make out members of said Yakuza branch.

And there, at the end of the horde that had made it's way through, was the more notable members of the League of Villains. Aizawa's eyes narrowed as he spotted Kan and Monoma among their rank. He didn't have time to reflect on just what it was that had caused the now-former Class B Homeroom Teacher to betray not only the Hero community, but his students as well. Now, it was time for action.

Luckily, or maybe unluckily, the behemoth known as Gigantomachia was staying back for the time being. As was the more prominent members of the League. It seemed they would only step in once the initial wave had exhausted the school's defenders. A sound strategy...if it weren't for the fact of just how much potential Aizawa knew the students alongside him had.

But he couldn't get overconfident in himself or his students' abilities. That was a dangerous path, and he knew it. And, with everything these students had been through this past year, they knew it, too. Aizawa braced himself for the first wave, as it quickly drew near.

Luckily, the bulk of the students who had been out patrolling had returned to the front of the line, so their numbers were definitely buffed. Aizawa absentmindedly wondered when and if reinforcements would be arriving. What they had would only last so long.

Battle was soon met, and it came to no surprise to Aizawa who was leading the clash among his group of students. Izuku, Todoroki, Bakugo, Iida, and Mina were all on the front. Them being up front appeared to give their fellow classmates a boosted morale, and they all fought with amazing coordination, knocking out Villains almost as quickly as they clashed with the students.

But it wasn't going to be that easy continuing on. Their opponents did become stronger and stronger as they fought. Eventually, localized battles began to spread out, with the Villains attempting to separate stronger fighters from the weaker ones. Luckily, more of the students joined the fray from their respective patrols.

As Aizawa grabbed a group of Villains with his capture weapon, he took a moment to look towards the leaders of the League once more. Again, they seemed to all be staying back, but now, Aizawa noted the absence of Kan, Monoma, and the one known as Spinner. A quick scan revealed that Monoma had joined the fray, but still no sign of Kan or Spinner. That worried Aizawa.

As things were getting heated, he turned to his best sources for getting information.

"Hagakure. Shoji." The two students in question were able to quickly subdue their opponents before joining Aizawa's side. They look at him expectantly, as other students were able to keep Villains off so Aizawa could speak to the two.

"Two League members, one of them being Vlad King, have a marked absence from the field," he said. "I need you two to do what you can to locate them. Ask Jiro for assistance if you must, but right now, she appears to be well entrenched.

"You got it, Mr. Aizawa!" Hagakure said. She and Shoji quickly made their way through the crowd. As they did, Shoji did his best to use his Quirk to act as a locator. He still had to fight the occasional Villain or two, though his classmates were quick to aid him.

Hagakure had an easier time of navigating in different areas, and Shoji would keep constant track of her location. She gave reports of the different areas she was checking. After a few minutes of searching and battling, the voice of Hagakure reached Shoji.

"I've spotted them," she said, and her voice was very concerned. "They're heading inside the school. I'm going to continue to follow them. You may need to get some assistance." He didn't need a way to communicate with him for him to tell her he received the message.

Shoji quickly made his way back to Aizawa.

"They're in the school," he reported. "Toru is continuing to track them. Have anyone to spare for me to join her?" Aizawa considered.

"Ojiro, join Shoji and meet up with Hagakure in the school." The other boy quickly nodded, and he and Shoji made their way back through the crowd to get to the school.

What are they going after in the school? Aizawa thought to himself before his attention was brought back to the fight at hand.

A/N: Sorry for the delay. I've been working on breaking down the chapters for this arc, but everything should be going at a much quicker pace. Stay tuned for the next chapter, and I'm still looking for any and all suggestions on how some things may go.
