Izuku had drained the life force of the hallway then followed orders and ran ahead to assist Lemillion. As Izuku kept running he began to hear a commotion and saw a cracked wall when he burst through the damaged wall the next scene he saw was horrific. The sight was none other than Lemillion about to be shot with a pistol as Izuku saw this, he brought out his sword and directly threw at the gunman's bullet. Everyone stopped to see the giant buster sword on the ground with izuku knocking out the gunner after. “You wanna hurt someone Overhaul, let’s see how you handle that with me?”

Izuku walked into the area with Mirio and Eri watching him calmly go over to grab his one sword. He kneeled down to greet Eri with a smile. “Hello Eri, we’re here to save you.” Eri couldn’t comprehend this to begin asking. “W-why? Why are you going so far for me? I’m cursed.” Izuku patted her head before giving another warm smile. “Trust me when I say this, you’re not cursed. You’re just hurt and scared with nobody able to help you. But today that changes. You’re in our arms, and we’re not letting go this time.” Izuku got up to shoot a death glare at Overhaul. “You think just because you’re here, you’ll win.” “I don’t think.” Izuku swung his sword up and on his shoulders before giving a determined look. “I know.”

Immediately, Izuku charged at Overhaul with him destroying the ground to stop the greenette. This was met with Izuku slicing the spikes to make areas for him to walk on closing the gap between them. The villain was about to send another barrage at Izuku but just as he was, Mirio came over to give him a punch to the face sliding him back. “YOU FILTY!” Before Overhaul could attack again, Izuku gave a solid stomp on his face before jumping back at Mirio’s side. “I’m guessing you’ve got some energy in your tank.” “Oh I got plenty Lemillion. Let’s settle this once and for all.” “Right behind you Catalyst.” The two charged with Overhaul in a corner. “TIME TO WAKE UP CHRONO!” Hearing this, Overhaul’s assistant sent an arrow at the two for it to hit Izuku. Mirio pulled him out of the way to avoid this along with having the arrowlike object phase through the blond.

“Thanks for the save.” “No worries. Feel like taking him down first?” “That’s probably the safest thing to do.” Mirio threw Izuku over to Chrono with him prepared to attack again. This only failed with Izuku using the wind currents to propel himself just out of harm's way before slamming his giant sword on the time villain’s head to knock him out again. Izuku then looked at Overhaul again with him sending even more spikes at both him and Eri. To counter this worry, Mirio charged to keep the little girl safe with Izuku unable to move due to the villain’s unconscious subordinate behind him. ‘Focus Izuku, you’ve learned how to fight with weapons from Edgeshot. Use what he taught you.’ Time went slow with Mirio worried for his friend along with Eri covering her eyes afraid to watch a nightmare happen again. ‘Now!”

At breaking speeds, Izuku began slicing and dicing the reshaped flooring that was coming at him while Mirio charged through the flooring near him with 10% OFA. He jumped to a safe area before charging at Overhaul to force his onslaught to stop. When it did, Izuku brought his new sword to take aim.

“LEMILLION, DODGE!” Izuku shouted this as gunshot was heard and a round fired from Izuku's sword and it hit the mad doctor in the head

“LEMILLION, DODGE!” Izuku shouted this as gunshot was heard and a round fired from Izuku's sword and it hit the mad doctor in the head. Everyone was pale thinking Izuku may have actually ended the monster. When he hit the ground, Mirio was going to question it before seeing no actual injury on the man. “Catalyst, what did you do?” “It was an idea I had. The main reason why my original life siphoning shot attack couldn’t hit long distance was because it isn’t a clear shot persay. The back end of my new sword acts similar to the long barrel of a rifle to increase it’s straight trajectory for a longer distance. Thus turning it into the ultimate long distance weapon for me. I call it, Limbo Roulette.” “Yeah, you lost me there, but nice shot.” Izuku started to laugh a little before turning his swords back into capsules to put them away.

“Is Eri ok?” “She didn’t get hurt from this, but she’ll probably prefer to get out of this place before saying she’s ok.” As if on cue, the pros and police came in to see three of the Hassaikai unconscious counting their leader to apprehend and finish the job. The leading officer had spoken in his walkie to announce the end. “Everyone. Chisaki is down and the child is safe. Mission successful. I repeat, mission successful.” Izuku had gone to Eri to offer his hand with her hesitant to take it. “It’s ok Eri, your nightmares over now.” He smiled at her with tears welling in the little girl's eyes seeing the monster she was forced to be a human lab rat for was now being taken away. Shaking in fear this was all a dream, Eri reached for Izuku to hug him before crying in his pant leg thanking him for what he did. Izuku knelt down to hug the little girl while patting her head to tell her it’s alright.

After a few minutes of this, Eri started to fall asleep with Izuku carrying her out to an ambulance. There, he realized Kirishima was hurt along with Fatgum along with a few other cops and pros. Worrying for their safety, Izuku asked if he could make a makeshift medical tent for those that are seriously injured to which the authorities agreed understanding how his quirk works. Going down the line of most injured to those who had a few broken bones, Izuku started with Fatgum and Kirishima who looked like a mess in the best way to explain it. Kirishima needed the most attention to where Izuku began dropping large amounts of life energy in his classmate and friend. When he started to heal, he looked over to see Izuku with his hand on the redhead’s forehead.

“Did..did we win?” “We did, now save your strength. We can explain everything when you’re not going to look like a mummy man.” Kirishima laughed at this before falling back to sleep. Once finished with him, Izuku turned to Fatgum who wasn’t in as bad shape, but needed attention. “Gotta admit, that quirk of yours does come in handy on and off the field.” “Thank you sir.” When that was done, Izuku went to Rock Lock who suffered a stab to his side. “Can’t believe I got stabbed by that League of Villains girl.” When he heard this, the greenette’s eyes went wide. “The League was here!?” “Yeah, that blond girl barely missed a vital from what I was told twice.” Something didn’t sound right from what Izuku knew. From first hand experience and what Rock Lock said of the attack, Toga would have been able to hit a vital close range if she was able to hit right between a vertebrae with him a distance away in the heat of a fight. ‘Did she...intentionally miss her mark with him?’ Izuku shook this thought out of his head before clearing Rock Lock to leave.

Few hours later

After finally finishing with everyone, Izuku was clear to leave with him, Ochako, and Nejire going directly to the hospital to make sure Eri is alright. While there, they ran into their teacher Mr. Aizawa who was talking with a doctor. “Midoriya, Uraraka, Hado, what are you three doing here?” “Sorry sir. I just wanted to make sure Eri was ok.” “She’s fine for now, but we need to take some precautions with her. The quirk she has is able to rewind something to a preexisting time and can only be used on human beings. We aren’t fully sure how, but the horn on her head is responsible for this and is where her quirk lays.” “A quirk that powerful in a little girl like her? That has to cause some problems for her.” Nejire states this with Aizawa motioning to a room with the sleeping girl inside. “For now, she’ll stay here. But what happens after is still in the air.” He then turned to the trio to say his final bit. “Go home you three. You look like you need to rest a bit.”
