Diamonds in the Rough *INDEFINITE HIATUS*

Fight for Your Life

TW: Mild blood, gore and all around violence throughout the chapter. Sorry guys!

Crazy hand man was laughing to himself while the two boys watched in horror as the void man engulfed their friends

"Ugh. I hate pro heroes" he whined as they watched Eraserhead take down villain after villain "Even the whole mob isn't slowing him down. Normal villains are no match for this guy... I wonder" Izuku felt something touch down on his neck and a slow burning began to creep along on his skin before stopping. Eraserhead stood there, staring straight at the man, fury radiating off of him and Shigaraki laughed cruelly, picking up his finger before the hero got slammed into by another villain. "Nomu! Go get Eraserhead!" he ordered and the creature bounded off.

Now it was just the three of them.

"Sou!" Izuku hissed, eyes pricking with the burning pain his neck was currently in "Psst!" the boy tossed a side glance at him and paled at the sight

"Holy-"

"Now." he looked at the man holding them and then back at Hitoshi and the boy seemed to understand, clearing his throat

"Hey hand job!" he called and the man turned to him, absolutely furious

"Why you little-" he froze as the boy's quirk took hold

"Let us go!" he ordered and the hand around their necks was promptly released. The two students backed away immediately, wheezing and clutching their throats.

"Shit" Midoriya rasped as his shaking fingers came back with blood "Get him to call off the Nomu" he told Hitoshi as he dug around his bag, glancing worriedly at the hero currently getting thrashed around and being repeatedly slammed into the cement.

"Okay, repeat after me" Shinsou said "Nomu. Leave Eraserhead alone and go sit down"

"Nomu! Leave Eraserhead alone and go sit down!" Shigaraki ordered and the creature left the bloodied body on the ground and started coming back towards them

"Ack! Not towards us just sit!" the boy yelped

"Ack! Not towards us just sit!" the adult repeated and the Nomu did as was told, plopping down on the floor and shaking the ground, snapping it's owner out of his daze. "What the- Nomu! I told you-"

Izuku rushed forward and jabbed his taser into the man, knocking him out and then tasing him once more for good measure. Nomu looked quite confused but still sat there obediently.

"Is he out?" Hitoshi asked, warily nudging the body with his foot

"Definitely." Midoriya snarled, beginning to race towards the group of villains gathering to finish off Eraserhead "Let's go!"

"Your neck!"

"It'll be fine!" he lied through gritted teeth, picking up a crowbar and tossing it to his friend " I'll fix it later! Get these guys to fight each other or something!" he picked up a pipe of his own and brought it down on one of the villains head with a sickening crunch "I'll handle the rest!"

"Got it!"

~~~

"SENSEI!!" the class yelled in horror as the void used Thirteen's own quirk against them and they slumped over.

"Iida!" A bigger boy yelled "They told you to go get help!"

"Right!" The boy tried to race off, but the void blocked his path

"It really wouldn't help us if you called your teachers" the man tutted, preparing to warp Iida away, like he'd done with most of their class already, before a six-armed student batted the man out of the way.
