Starting Line

I followed the other villains out of the warp portal. Shigaraki had asked Kai to borrow me for this mission in particular. They both had been using my Time Warp to their advantage because I was able to go back up to a certain point before we lost and warn them of the upcoming danger. I stopped by his side after exiting the portal myself.

The next villain that stood next to me was a large lizard looking man with a kind of brain looking area with eyes. "Thirteen and Eraser Head, huh?" Shigaraki just lifted his hand to stop that man's advance. "The teacher's schedule we received the other day said that All Might was supposed to be here."

The portal closed behind me leaving the dark wispy man in its place. He himself was the portal after all. "Where is he? I went through the trouble of bringing this whole crowd, too... All Might... The Symbol of Peace... I can't believe he's not here." As per usual, Shigaraki placed one of his hands on my shoulder. It usually freaked me out, so I flinched away from him feeling the hand's grip tighten on my scales. "I wonder if he'll come if we kill some kids?"

Unlike Kai, Shigaraki had no problems killing people. I didn't like it, but had little choice but to put up with him. Thankfully given my quirk, he couldn't kill me in the way he would kill others... but if I ever stepped out of line they had other ways of punishing me. We watched as Eraser Head took on the first of the frontal assault team.

He had already taken out 6 members in a matter of seconds. "He's also strong in hand-to-hand combat, and since he's hiding his eyes with goggles, you can't tell whose Quirk he's erasing. When he fights against a group, that makes it harder for them to work together. I see. I hate pro heroes. The masses don't stand a chance against them." I turned my gaze to Shigaraki as he scratched his face with two fingers.

Turning to look behind me, I noted that the portal guy disappeared. He must be going for the students and Thirteen. I could see the explosion that occurred from two of the students jumping for him. It was a shame they didn't know what they were in for fighting a guy like him.

He covered the students in a large black dome, his job... scatter them around the arena. Lifting his hand from my shoulder, Shigaraki stepped forward. I just stood and waited for his orders. Hearing an explosion towards the water area I glanced over. You could make out the whirlpool and then the guizer that came from whatever created the explosion. Even the ship was flying through the air.

The second I looked back Shigaraki was gone, or more like running at Eraser Head with his hand out. This only served to get him hit in the stomach, but he seemed fine. I knew what he was up to, because Eraser Head's hair fell, which meant that his quirk had deactivated. When Eraser Head managed to get back, I could see the decay on his elbow.

His right arm was out of commission because of it, and he resorted to not using it against the villains attacking him. "You're so cool... You're so cool...! By the way, hero... I'm not the last boss." I hadn't even noticed it when Birdman moved, but I did see where he ended up. The blood that came from the injury, I could only lower my head. With a hand Shigaraki motioned me closer to his side.

Slowly I walked down the steps and stood beside him, his hand once again resting on my shoulder. "I'll tell you, Eraser Head. He's the anti-Symbol of Peace, the bioengineered 'Nomu.'" The hero's arm looked broken in two places and his head was probably split open. Yet... I didn't dare turn back time, this was what Shigaraki wanted after all. "You can erase quirks. That's wonderful, but it's nothing impressive. In the face of overwhelming power, you might as well be quirkless."

The man tried to use his quirk again, but his other arm was crushed under the Nomu's foot. I cringed, and turned my gaze to the floor. I could hear the struggle, which meant the man's head was next. I heard the slam into the pavement like floor. "Shigaraki Tomura." Wispy man was back.
