My Hero Academia: What We Fight For (Izuocha)

(Arc 2.5 Finale) Chapter Five - What We Fight For

     I ran up the stairs and through the doorway where Shigaraki made his exit. I had to stop him before he escapes. I ran past a double doorway but was stopped by a voice.

     "Midoriya?!"

     It was Tokoyami, Asui, Sero, Monoma, Kendo and Kaminari. All looked exhausted, tired and we're locked in different cages with different types of cuffs and restraints on them. And they wore jumpsuits like a janitor. They all looked like they've taken serious beating, and Kaminari had a black eye.

     "I'm here to get you guys out!" I said to them.

     "Leave us for now! They've got Uraraka. They're trying to escape with her" Kaminari informed me.

     "Yeah we're fine, just got get her before it's too late" Kendo added in.

     I didn't want to leave them, but they can't get away with Ochako. I can't lose her again. I ran further down the hallway as my adrenaline was wearing off, and I was feeling the pain I've endured so far. But I had to keep fighting. I ran to an open doorway that lead to another warehouse room, barely dodging a hand as it reached out from the side of it.

     I lost my balance and fell to the floor, dodging a foot as well that tried to stomp me.

     "You should learn to give up! Look at you, you've got gashes and burns. You won't survive fighting me" Shigaraki stated.

     "I won't give up! Not until I have her back! I don't care how bad I end up. Just give her back to me!" I yelled, standing up.

     "Shigaraki, we should leave now. We take the girl and leave the others" Kurogiri stated.

     "No. If he wants a fight, I'll give him a fight" Shigaraki said again before charging at me with his hands.

     I charged up One for All and leaped out of the way of him, borrowing Gran Torino's tactics and bouncing off walls at great speeds.

      "Izuku!-" I heard Ochako yell before being silenced, and Kurogiri backing away as he put a blindfold over her eyes.

He doesn't want her to see me die, huh? Doesn't make you any more human, asshole.

     I sent a kick at Shigaraki but he dodged, barely missing me with his hands. I can't keep this up, I need to use a long range attack. I got my fingers in a flicking position, and sent a gust of wind at Shigaraki, kicking him backwards. I then used the wall to propel me towards him. He recovered quickly, reaching his hand out.

I can't dodge in mid air!

     His hand was lined up to connect with my face, but I made a quick decision... And stuck my left arm up to shield it. My arm turned gray and I sent the power of One for All at 30% into my right arm, sending the blow into Shigarakis stomach. He flew back and I fell to the ground. To stop the spread, I broke off the decaying arm on the floor. Anything lower than my elbow was gone on my left arm.

     "You're crazy! Sacrificing parts of you to save one girl?! I should kill you!" Shigaraki yelled.

      "She isn't just some girl."

      I focused and sent out blackwhip in my right arm, something I hadn't done before, and sent it at Shigaraki, grabbing him with it.

     "Hey, let me go!" He yelled.

     "I've got you, Shigaraki" Kurogiri told him, beginning to open up a warp gate.

     But all of a sudden, he looked as if he had got hit extremely hard, falling to the ground.
