《Souls Hero Academia》Chapter 15: The USJ - Aftermath
Advertisement
The USJ was a disaster. For being a composed and intelligent being, Nezu was having a mental breakdown, trying his best to keep calm with the incredibly grave situation at hand. One that could spell doom for the whole of U.A. Academy.
"What in the world has happened here?" Nezu asked himself with growing unease. "Nevermind that, I'll have to make the students have appointments with therapists ASAP."
While that was going on, All Might, as well as the other heroes could be seen cradling the grievously injured students towards the ambulances that were rushed towards the USJ dome. Some were close to death, but thanks to immediate treatment, they would survive, albeit with permanent damage.
But that wasn't all, some students were injured, yes, but then there's Thirteen.
A dead Thirteen.
One of the heroes, found dead during an assault of villains against heroes-in-training, and if that wasn't enough, there was the death count of the villains. Yes, the VILLAINS! The villains that led the attack!
There were about 50 mutilated bodies, almost all in bad shape. There were some survivors, most notably those away from the Plaza, but those found within the Plaza all had gruesome deaths. And those mysterious costumed villains…
If the media found out about this…
"No, they must never know," Nezu muttered as he used every string he had in the society to cover up as much as he could regarding this incident. Although, it wouldn't cover much.

A few minutes earlier…
Ochako was in a daze. The last thing she remembered was being stabbed in the chest and losing consciousness. Then she found herself waking up, and the first thing she noticed, was that she could no longer feel warmth.
Yes, she no longer had any body heat whatsoever.
She also had a feeling of connection towards Izuku, or more specifically, the warmth within him. It felt like a lifeline for her. She felt that if the warmth within Izuku didn't exist, she would be no longer within the realm of the living.
"… Ashen one…?" she heard Izuku mutter under his breath due to how close the two of them were. Izuku was kneeling beside her, while Ochako was lying down on the cold floor.
Under a pool of blood, more presumably, her blood.
This got her panicking. Actually, scratch that, make that hyperventilating. Seeing what was happening, Izuku took it to himself to calm the brunette undead down.
By slapping her in the face.
"Hey! Snap out of it!" Izuku half-yelled towards the shocked brunette. Ochako just stared at the greenete with wide eyes at the way he slapped her to put some sense into her. A few moments later, Ochako visibly calmed down and shakily raised her upper body to get into a sitting position.
"… What h-happened…?" her voice was still shaky due to how surreal this situation was to her.
"Listen to me Ochako, do not panic, unless you want to be slapped again," Izuku warned the brunette. "You're a walking corpse."
"…" Ochako stared at Izuku like he had grown a second head or something, before she deadpanned. "You're pulling m-my leg, right?"
Izuku just gazed at her with a serious and grim face, causing Ochako to reel back in confusion. "Y-you're serious…?"
Izuku nodded in affirmation as he used the Darksign branded on him to show Ochako one of his deepest secrets he refused to show the world. His skin started wrinkling, his eyeballs began to darken, and his body shriveled to a husk.
Once the transformation was complete, Izuku took off his helmet to let Ochako stare in horror at the state of the face of her crush.

"W-wha- B-but… How…?" Ochako was once again panicking, soliciting another slap from Izuku.
"I warned you," Izuku sighed as his normal appearance once took hold over his body. "Anyway, yes, you are a walking corpse, just like me."
"L-like you…?" Ochako asked with unease, and Izuku affirmed her suspicions.
"Let's stop here for a moment. I'll explain later, along with the rest of the class, for now, let's just get back to them," Izuku said as he hefted up Ochako back on her feet. Gaping holes could be seen on her costume, both at the front and back where the huge blade pierced her body.
Realizing that this may set up warning bells, Izuku quickly took a coat from inside his storage and draped it over Ochako, covering up both of the holed.
[][][][][][][][][][][][]
The trek back towards their class was silent. Surrounding them however, were numerous corpses, all mangled beyond repair. Blood soaked their boots leaving bloody footprints as they walked.
Once they got up the stairs, they were greeted by heroes who just arrived doing everything they can to stabilize the bodies of their classmates. Seeing that his classmates wouldn't survive another minute, Izuku took it upon himself to heal them, calling upon a Miracle to heal his classmates.
To hell with being secretive. Lives were on the line, and Izuku vowed to no longer hold back during situations that may endanger a life. He didn't care if the government dropped a nuke on his head, he would stand back and face it all over again if it meant saving a person. However nonexistent the chance may be for a nuke to drop.
Once the chime and aura of light washed over his classmates, some of their wounds began closing up, garnering the attention of the heroes, as well as the students who were doing their best to stabilize the students. They stared in shock at the iron-wearing student holding some kind of talisman while a few whisps of light traveled around him as it vanished into the air.
"I'll explain later, just… Please… Treat their injuries first before going to questions," Izuku pleaded as he plopped onto his butt, exhausted from the ordeal. It was a long time since he had to go all out, and he was a little bit rusty. Ochako soon followed, the shock of dying washing over her as she stared blankly at the ground.
[][][][][][][][][][][][]
All Might could be seen surveying the area in the Ruins zone, along with some other heroes for any surviving Villains. The whole place looked like a goddamned warzone! While he was searching though, he heard a sound coming from one of the buildings. When he cautiously entered the building, he saw two of his students holing up in one of the rooms, relief climbing their face when they saw All Might.
"All Might!" the students shouted.
"Young Kirishima, young Bakugou, come on, you're safe now," All Might said with his trademark smile, although faltering due to the gruesome scene back in the plaza. The two of them had frowns on their faces for some reason though.
"… Are they gone…?" Kirishima asked with fear laced in his voice. Bakugou however, was silent, although there was unease building up within his emotions. "Those sword wielding villains…?"
Upon close inspection, All Might noticed the both of them have wounds that resembled one made by a blade. Large ones at that. Thankfully, they were able patch them up before more blood was lost.
"Yes, no more villains will pose a threat," All Might reassured them and both of the students slumped down in relief, yes, that included Bakugou, before fainting from exhaustion. All Might hoisted the two of them up on his shoulders gently as he took them back to the entrance.

'Thankfully, they won't see the gruesome scene in the plaza,' All Might grimly thought to himself as he brought the two of them towards the rest of the class.
[][][][][][][][][][][][]
Yaoyorozu Momo, Kyoka Jirou, and Kaminari Denki could only say one thing about the recent events in the plaza.
Horrifying.
Thankfully, those sword-wielding villains didn't show up in the landslide zone, because if they did, the three of them would have died before the heroes arrived.
"… Am I even ready to be a hero…?" Momo muttered to herself with anxiety while Kaminari paled upon realizing the grave implications of being a hero. Kyoka was deciding whether to drop out and pursue a musical career instead of being a hero, or continue trying to be one.
"H-hey, guys, let's… let's just g-get back to our class… O-okay…?" Kaminari said while trembling in fear. He was now having second thoughts on being a hero. Being a cool hero was worth nothing if he died a horrible death.
"… I agree, come on," Momo agreed while she led the two down the rocky surface, legs trembling in fear and anxiety. Once they reached the bottom, they had to traverse the plaza littered with corpses and an overwhelming amount of blood. The trio unnervingly traversed the area, bodies tensed and their guards all the way up, all the while fear was cranked up to 11.
Kyoka however, had the worst of it. Because of her empowered hearing, she could hear the moans of agony from the still surviving villains in the plaza, further traumatizing her, as well as making her decision to drop out increasingly higher than her will to continue being a hero.
Once they arrived at the top of the stairs, along with the others, the three of them collapsed and drifted into a deep sleep.
[][][][][][][][][][][][]
Izuku watched as his classmates all dragged themselves back to the top of the stairs, some alone, others with company, and more with heroes carrying them. After they got laid down safely, Izuku got to work, calling upon a Miracle to heal them just enough to make sure they won't die. He still needs to reserve some of his energy since for some reason, miracles use a crap-ton of energy in this world than in Lordran. Probably something to do with the Gods being absent in this world, and the lack of faith.
While the last of his classmates returned, the sounds of sirens alerted the heroes and conscious students inside, and the medics began filing in, stretchers in hand.
What they saw inside made some of them lose their lunch. Sure, they may be used to gore, but not on the scale of battlefields. The stench wafting through the air alone was nauseating enough that it could let any normal person reel back in disgust.
Each of the students were laid on the stretchers and quickly placed inside an ambulance, then sent to the hospital. Izuku was the last one, but seeing that he was mostly fine, he was first questioned by the police in what the hell happened inside.
"Can we hold the questions back for the moment… I'd like to think to myself for a little while…" Izuku said as he entered an ambulance dedicated to him and drove him off to a hospital where it would accommodate the entirety of class 1-A.
While Izuku was busy pondering to himself, most of the students who were conscious to watch Izuku fight was thinking to themselves.
'What the hell is Izuku/Midoriya…?'
[][][][][][][][][][][][][]
Inside a room, a body laid on top of a table. A puffy astronaut suit could be seen on the sides, a huge hole torn in the center on both sides. The body was female, with a huge stab wound in her chest. Some heroes were mourning the loss of the female hero who was an inspiration to rescue heroes alike.
Only until the seemingly female corpse opened their eyes with confusion.
[][][][][][][][][][][][][]
Inside a morgue where bodies of villains were to be placed until it was their turn to be cremated, a large number were secretly stashed, away from public eyes. It was only a moment later when most of the bodies twitched and began moving. Eyes darting everywhere and most of them tensing up for a battle, only to realize that they were actually comrades in the raid earlier.
"… What the hell…?"

Omake #1: What if Game Mechanics transferred as well part 2…
In this timeline, the Abyss Watchers didn't show up and Izuku could be see fighting against Nomu after chopping off Shigaraki's hand. Kurogiri was battling an irate Katsuki for getting the drop on him earlier.
The Nomu lunged and did a huge right swing towards Izuku, who in turn, just rolled towards the attack.
Yes, rolled towards the huge fist that could one-shot him to death and back to the bonfire. However, the huge fist, instead of hitting Izuku, phased through his body.
For a puppet without free will, the Nomu was shocked and confused about what happened. The law of physics stated that when one object with mass collided with another object with mass, the object with higher force would win and push the opposing object away.
But then this happened. It isn't a quirk since the emerald teen had a dimensional quirk. So how could he phase through the Nomu's attack!?
"INVINCIBLTY FRAMES BITCH!" Izuku yelled under his armor as he circled around the Nomu and gave it a backstab. Shigaraki upon seeing this went livid, calling Izuku a hacker, a cheater, and some other derogatory terms.

Omake #2: Dark Souls 2 > Dark Souls 3
Another alternate timeline where Izuku fought against Nomu, Shigaraki, and Kurogiri all at once. Izuku was losing bad, and he needed an escape.
"No escape now scrub! DIE!" Shigaraki yelled as he dashed forward, hands held at the ready. Izuku dodged to the side, but was teleported by Kurogiri back towards the path of Shigaraki's dash.
The Nomu as well dashed forwards, raising a bloodcurling shout. Izuku needed to act fast, and luckily, he spotted his ticket to freedom.
A huge double door which led to the inferno zone beside him. So without further ado, like any Dark Souls Veteran with a brain who was cornered, all Izuku had to do…
WAS RUN! And take advantage of a paranormal activity which rendered him invincible against all attacks.
And that was opening a huge double door. Izuku didn't hesitate and threw his body towards the door and placed both hands on it, slowly pushing and opening the double doors. Shigaraki scoffed in amusement.
"AS IF YOU COULD OUTRUN US!" Shigaraki grabbed ahold of Izuku, only for his hand to phase through. "WHAT THE FU—"
And then got punched by Nomu instead when the Nomu tried to do a haymaker against the defenseless Izuku.
Overhead Izuku, a sign could be seen.

Tower of Somnus
When humanity first encountered alien life, we were judged and found wanting. The Galactic Consensus interviewed our leaders and subjected us to a battery of psychological tests to determine our progress as a society. They found us to be selfish, wasteful, impulsive, and boorish neighbors. Earth was blockaded and our collective encounter with our extrasolar neighbors rapidly faded from memory. All they left behind was a hypercomm relay and a handful of subscriptions to a massively multiplayer game that participants played in their sleep. The Consensus said that it would let us interact with our neighbors in a controlled setting. That it would teach us to be better members of the galactic community. The megacorporations that controlled Earth ignored the game until they learned that the powers earned from clearing dungeons were just as real when day broke. Magic, supernatural abilities and rumors exploded from nothing and a subscription to The Tower of Somnus became a status symbol. Katherine ‘Kat’ Debs doesn’t have much, but it could be worse. Born in an arcology, she was assigned a job in the megacorporation that raised her almost as soon as she could work. Despite the stability of her corporate life, she wanted something more. A chance to claw her way up the rigid social and financial ladder to make something of herself. A chance that wouldn’t come naturally to someone as familiar with dark alleyways and the glint of steel as she was with office work and corporate niceties.Book One is up on Kindle Unlimited as of 7/6/22 - https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B0B2X3L8H5

Reborn as a Magic Firefly, Help?
A rural farmer's boy is unknowingly reincarnated into a world of magic and monsters as just a wee little larva, not even considered a monster at all.

If that means defeating powerful foes and becoming a powerful monster himself, maybe, just maybe, that's what he needs to do. Popcorn easy-going typical "reincarnated as a monster" fic. Expect evolution trees, rare evolutions, small twists, a generally unaccepted main character who just wants to meet a human, the works. In this story, the main character is reincarnated as a larva, but his evolution will lead him down a path to become a will 'o wisp firefly hybrid, since that is what the fellows over on light novel amino requested, and it sounded cool. I'm just writing this to keep my fingers moving, so it won't have too much effort in it, but if you like stories like the beginning of the (good) reincarnated-as-a-dragon light novel, I'm sure you'll like this one. Popcorn isekai fic. The cover, drawn by yours truly, will reflect the current evolution of the main character. Also, he'll be pretty weak-to-strong, since, well, maggots are kind-of-really weak.
