Without really thinking about the consequences of his actions Izuku used Jin to put himself between the creature and Aizawa. He barely was able to bring his arms up into a block before a single meaty fist crashed into him. He was sent skidding back into Aizawa. The breath was knocked from his lungs and he tasted blood as he was flung back.
What the fuck? Even without its quirk it was that strong? How were they going to kill this thing?
The creature didn't come again. Looking into it's eyes he realized that there wasn't any life behind them. No life or intelligence. What was wrong with this thing?
Thankfully nothing had broken with that attack. Izuku used his ki to protect the bones within his arms. The shockwaves had done something internal though. The metallic taste of blood was prevalent and difficult to ignore.
Aizawa growled, "Stay back! This thing isn't normal."
"What is normal?" Quipped back Izuku warily watching the creature.
The crusty man laughed in a dark evil laugh, "One of your students is brave, Eraserhead. To think someone would be so stupid to jump in a fight with my Nomu. I'm surprised you're still able to use your arms, NPC."
NPC? What was this guy? An overgrown man baby? Still he was trying to fish for information on how Izuku was still able to move about. Maybe he could force the man to leave by scaring him.
Aizawa growled, "Back off villain. I won't let you hurt my students." Then to Izuku he whispered, "That man's quirk is dangerou. Almost as dangerous as the creatures. It was five points of contact restricted which is our only saving grace. Disintegration quirk from what I can tell. Don't let him get the five points of contact."
Izuku gave a short nod in answer. From Aizawa's injuries that would be easier said than done. He would have to put everything into this fight or risk dying.
"Can you still fight?"
Aizawa stiffened but continued in a whisper, "Yes. Do you have a plan?"
Not a good one. If Izuku was honest they needed to take one of the two out of commission. Otherwise they were going to die. Izuku doubted he could fight the villain and the creature at the same time.
Izuku reached down and shook his ki pellet dispenser. It was nearly empty. If he wasn't careful he would run out of pellets and then they would be in real trouble. He needed to conserve his ki if at all possible.
A glance was given to the hero beside him. Aizawa didn't look good at all. One arm hung limply at his side and he had several superficial wounds across his face and body. He wouldn't be able to keep fighting in his condition but neither would Aizawa give up. Not when a single student was still in the building.
The pit of anxiety that had been forming in his stomach dropped. The Nomu lunged for them. Izuku couldn't move. He was the only thing protecting Aizawa from the creature. He would have to take it head on. His hands came up back into a block.
There was a loud bang of the entrance doors to the USJ were thrown open. Backup. Thank the gods.
Izuku turned his head to the side to see All Might as the hero shouted, "I AM HERE!"
Right before he came towards them at full speed. Even weakened All Might was still faster than 90% of heroes and villains. Izuku blinked and the Nomu was flung several feet away from him. His knees buckled slightly wanting to force him to collapse onto the ground. Unfortunately All Might was alone. There weren't any of the other teachers with him.
"All Might," Izuku said quietly but with the silence that had fallen it carried, "Be careful with the creature. It's strong even with Erasure activated."
All Might glanced at him before nodding his acceptance and ordered, "Aizawa and young Midoriya you need to get to the entrance. Young Iida has already made his way to the school. The others should be arriving soon."
For a moment before Izuku and Aizawa considered it. Then they shook their heads. They knew why these villains were here and it wasn't for them. They were here for All Might in order to kill him.
Turning to face the crusty man Izuku declared, "If you can take care of the Nomu thing I'll keep this guy off of you. All Might, he said that they are here to kill you."
"Thank you for your concern young Midoriya," said All Might, "But I'm a hero. You're still a student."
"All Might," growled Izuku, "You can't handle them on your own. Put aside your pride and let me help. Besides there are members of Murim still hiding out here. If given the chance they will attack you."
His mentor glanced around before admitting, "You're right young Midoriya. But please do not push yourself. If things get too dangerous you should retreat."
Izuku did not agree to it. Instead he simply looked at All Might.
Aizawa grumbled, "Ill look after him, All Might. You just keep that thing off of us."
