A/N

I don't own bnha :)

taisho secret: i make fanart of this story but im too much of a coward to post them on my art acc (maybe i will, we'll see lol)

i think the writing style in this part is a bit different as i'm trying to write out an action scene, and trying to make things dramatic. I was trying to make things seem quick paced, and make it seem that these thoughts are rushing through nori's head as he watches.

i dislike how this chapter ended up as :/.

and um, this is shorter than usual lol.

enjoy children

"I guess we get a continue then, huh?" Shigaraki murmured. His expression was terrifying. I studied him as All Might was getting prepared to fight off the villains. He looked... excited. Usually, that isn't a good expression. I know it isn't a good expression. I know what comes next. I saw Izuku run up to All Might, telling him what happened, about the nomu. I watched with baited breath, scared, excited. I was gonna see All Might battle it out with a villain in real life! But, as I glanced at Shigaraki every so often, I knew it would be deadly. It would much more scary to view it in real life; seeing it behind the screen, in a different life, wasn't the same.

"Caroline Smash!" All Might yells. Ojiro takes in a breath. I'm wringing my hands. The nomu punches back, and Ojiro and I grit our teeth. All Might dodges and counters. The pro hero seems to realise that this foe would be hard to beat, which is very much correct. I knew the consequences, I knew the problems All Might would face after this. His hero time would be reduced, Japan is losing its symbol of peace. Nomu attacks, All Might defends. He smashes nomu into the ground, and suddenly, Kurogiri intervenes. He saves the goddamn nomu, letting the abomination grab onto All Might's weak spot. 

"That warp quirk sure is something..." Ojiro mutters. I nod mutely, watching the fight with rapt attention. Kurogiri mentions something about not wanting to have his insides covered in blood, but I don't care. I'm now focusing on Izuku, my stupid, stubborn brother. He's running towards All Might, towards the nomu, towards Kurogiri. Ojiro grips my sides, tightens his hold as I struggle to break free. Ojiro is strong, but as of now, I was weak after fighting that stupid water villain. Then, Katsuki, my best friend and possible crush, rushes in with an explosive entrance, literally. He sends an explosion Kurogiri's way and pins him down by the metal plates he's wearing. I'm relieved that Katsuki is safe. Todoroki appears too, freezing half of the nomu's monstrous body. I see Kirishima, lunging at Shigaraki and I nearly blanch at the sudden thought of the redhead disintegrating. Shigaraki dodges the attack. All Might escapes nomu's painful hold, thanks to Todoroki's assistance.

"Don't do anything funny, mist man," Katsuki sneers down at Kurogiri. He still has the warp gate pinned to the floor. Katsuki and I make eye contact and I try to smile, but it comes out as a grimace. He looks glad that I'm here. As if he's relieved I'm 'safe' (as safe as I can be anyway, given the circumstances). 

"Nomu, take out that brat and recover our gateway," Shigaraki orders, voice scratchy. My eyes widened and I break free from Ojiro's grasp. His faint yells for me to come back don't reach the logical part of my mind. I see the nomu's lower half shatter as it tries to get up, but it regenerates at an incredible speed. The Nomu makes his way to Katsuki and I run faster, legs pumping, lungs burning. Just before the nomu attacks Katsuki, All Might swoops in, protecting Katsuki. Suddenly, a heavy weight lands on top of me, making me drop to the floor. I choke out a gasp. A mass of spiky blonde hair covers my view.

"Suki?" I breathe out. Katsuki looks up, eyes wide. I grin and hug him tightly. He wraps his arms around me awkwardly and places his chin on top of my head. A laugh bubbles up my throat.

"Kacchan, you dodged that?!" Izuku cries. Katsuki clicks his tongue and glares at Izuku.

"Of course not, Deku. I'm not that fucking fast," Katsuki growls. Suddenly, we realise how close we are to each other. We pull away awkwardly as Izuku sends both of us a knowing grin. "Shut up, Deku."

"But I wasn't saying anything..."

"Heroes reprimand those who use their quirks in violent ways, disrupting society. But those heroes use violence to save their precious civilians. Just like how villains use violence to get their way. How can heroes say they're the good side, if they do the exact same as villains?" Shigaraki spoke up. "The symbol of peace is a title that is nothing more than an oppressive form of violence, don't you think?"

All Might says that's rubbish. The nomu attacks, but All Might is quick to act. They start a fistfight, one punch after another. This goes for a while, until All Might uses more than 100%. He starts punching the nomu so fast, so hard. Everyone stares in awe.

"This is the true power of being a hero..." someone murmurs. I think it's Todoroki.

"I'm sure you heard our school motto, villain. Go beyond, plus ultra!" All Might yells. The nomu receives one last punch, and is sent flying to the sky. My eyes well up with tears. 

All Might really is amazing...

"Why aren't you going to kill me? This is your goal, after all," All Might asks. I look at him with a bewildered expression. This guy actually wants them to try?! I can see Shigaraki panicking.

"The nomu has left significant damage to All Might, Shigaraki Tomura. We still have a chance to defeat him," Kurogiri mentions. Shigaraki visibly relaxes, and both charge at All Might. 

Then I came to a conclusion as All Might taunts them, unable to move.

He's stupid.

He can't move, but he's taunting them.

Then Izuku jumps in, trying to intercept the villains. I blanch, grabbing onto Katsuki's arm.

Izuku is stupid too.

Like mentor like student, I guess.

BAM! BAM!

Shigaraki falls, bullets lodged in his shoulders. I couldn't help but grin in relief, knowing we didn't have to worry anymore.

"I, Iida Tenya, class representative of 1-A, have arrived with help!" Iida yelled out. I grinned.

We're saved!

But I can't help but think I could've done more...

Well, I'm still improving! I'm at U.A. after all!

Right..?
