《The Underworlds Hero》Race Against Time

"Hurry the hell up ya crusty looking jackass!" Miruko shouted as she dragged Tenko behind her.

"Wait for a sec Miruko, I don't think I'm-"

"No time to wait! We gotta find the quack doc and kick his ass before stomping on the rest of the Nomu's asses."

"BUT WHY BRING ME WITH YOU!? MY QUIRK IS USELESS IN THIS SITUATION SINCE IT'S MORE LIKELY I'LL BRING THE HOSPITAL DOWN ON OUR HEADS!"

Miruko went silent for a second before replying. "Because I know there's a high chance All Might is gonna come here. Not counting Midoriya, you're arguably the best person for the job. Your quirk allows you to destroy anything you touch. It must've been hard growing up with that." Tenko held his head down remembering the mistakes he's done with the quirk he held. Similar to Eri, he felt like his quirk was more a curse than anything. "But unlike the rest of us, you can end this if you just touch All Might. If we run into him, we'll need you to complete a goal Midoriya has set off for. We'll need you to kill All Might."

"But killing someone is-"

"Wrong? Yes. Since day one, I read your file and everyone else's. Your quirk manifested and killed your family. Truly a shame that you hurt those you would love."

"...We weren't that great of a family, but I still feel regret for killing those I did."

Miruko moved a corner before replying. "That's what makes you human. Feeling remorse for what your actions do and willing to accept the pain they have done. Today though, there is a chance you can do good with that power. Something where a quirk that only exists to destroy can become one of the country's greatest saviors in Japan's time of need." Miruko stopped in her tracks when she saw several different Nomu that were different than the normal. "We've got company."

"TODOROOKI! MIDORIYA! KENDO! ANYONE!" Inasa started shouting with him and Kirishima finding themselves cut off from everyone with some of the cops behind them.

"You're wasting your energy right now man. We're gonna need to find a way to take out that Mimic guy first and then focus on finding everyone else."

"Yeah. I guess you're right." Inasa started to calm down before holding his hand up. "HOLD ONTO SOMETHING EVERYONE! I'M GONNA BUST A WAY THROUGH!"

"Wait! Before you do that, think what's going on around us!" Ryukyu came from the cops to try and help. "Right now, we're in the middle of a space just big enough to hold us. Your quirk takes the surrounding air around us and uses it for attacks. Since the air in here is limited as is, doing that would be more dangerous than good."

Inasa stopped when he realized this to punch himself in the face. "HOW COULD I BE SO STUPID!?"

'Did he honestly not think that might happen!?' Everyone shouted in their minds for Ryukyu to start knocking on the walls. she stopped at a single wall to knock around it and hear how large it was.

"Kirishima. I'd like you to use your quirk to break right here please."

"You got it." Kirishima hardened his fist and pulled his arm back preparing to attack. "RED TURRET!" He broke the wall apart to show a connecting line into the corridors again. "WE'RE FREE!"

"We must hurry." Ryukyu motioned the police through the hole with Inasa and Kirishima joining. As they did however, an eye from above watched them to prepare for another attack.

"You ok?" Jirou glanced at Momo as she tried to stop the bleeding herself.

"Nngh! Yeah. I don't think I'll be much use though to you. I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault." The earphone jack quirk user looked around trying to find the gunner in the darkness. 'This sucks. I can't even see so we'll down here. Not only that, but I can't get that far away from Momo if this guy tries to shoot her again.' Jirou looked to her back seeing something Izuku gave her before the they left for the raid wrapped up.

'If you find yourself in a situation where you need to do both survey the area and fight. Use this and the quirk I'm about to give you in a way to help." Izuku's words echoed in her head while thinking of what to do.

'I guess it's a good a time as any to see what Midoriya gave me.' She unwrapped the object to see for some reason an electric guitar with what looked like a built in amp in the back and a few pairs of noise canceling headphones. "Midoriya, I like your style."

Nemoto aimed his gun at the back of Momo's head with a smirk forming. 'I'll end this quickly and take down the other girl while disabling her own quirk.' His finger was positioned on the trigger ready to fire. 'Goodby you nuisances-' Nemoto was cut off by the sound of a guitar rift piercing his ears. "AAAHHHHH!!!! WHAT HIS THIS HORRID SOUND!?"

Kyoka began strumming the guitar she was given by Izuku with the quirk she had activating and sending shockwaves out of her.

Added quirk: Shockwave! Any sound made with this quirk active acts as an electromagnetic pulse to all that hear it. It works better the closer you are to the sound! Downside is, the user is affected as well.

"Kyoka! I feel like my body's vibrating everywhere! I don't know how long I can do this for!" Momo held the headphones over her ears with them feeling as if they were ready to pop off.

"Just hold out a little longer! I need to make sure this guy is down!"

Compress tried to get close enough to Chrono to try and stop him from fighting with his quirk, however he was met with constant attacks each time to push the overcoat vigilante away. 'If only I can get near him, I could-' "Woah there!" Compress narrowly misses getting an arrow to his side with getting a notable distance.

"You're quite fast on your feet. However, I won't let you go any farther." Aizawa began to move again to get another arrow piercing his side.

"AH!"

"Don't think I have forgotten about your quirk Eraser. As long as you aren't part of this, I can stop this before a problem arises-" A bullet flew by Chrono for him to escape his train of thought. Looking back at Compress, he noticed him holding an air assault gun. "Trying to take me down with a toy are we?"

"Oh, this is more than just a mere toy." He shot another round for Chrono to dodge it. However, when next to him, the small pistol turned into an old dishwasher that nearly hit the villain. "Before this raid, I had asked Jin if he could take me to the junkyard he had worked at. I virtually cleaned the place out of all the large objects and mixed the compressed marbles in with these air assault balls. Even I don't know which are which. For all I know, all of them could be from the junkyard with each being something I have no idea about." He pulled a second one out of his overcoat and held it at Chrono. "Now, the show can truly begin."

Bakugou blasted around the villain with just barely missing getting struck by his tail. As he did this, Kendo came with an enlarged fist to try and punch Chimera in the face for him to catch both. "My turn!" Toga came behind Kendo to stab the villain before he opened his mouth to release a beam that nearly took her and the Big Fist quirk user if Kendo had not shrunk her hand and brought the blond down to the ground to evade.

"YOU ASSHOLE! STUN GRENADE!" Bakugou created a large flash with his quirk to temporarily blind Chimera. This helped until the villain grabbed the ash blond by the neck and used his tails to bind his hands together.

"You're quite a nuisance kid." He opened his mouth getting ready for another blast before having a blade come into his side. "YOU BITCH!" Kendo gave a sucker punch to the stomach before grabbing Bakugou by the back of his costume's collar away from Chimera to regroup.

"Alright. Now what?" Toga asked as she watched Chimera pull the knife out of his back and snap it in two.

"Something tells me we're gonna have to put this asshole out of his misery for good."

"I'd like to see you try you little brat!" Chimera charged at the two aiming mainly for Toga as payback for the knife. As he did, Bakugou held his gauntlet up prepared to pull the pin.

"I hope you like the taste of heavy nitroglycerin you fucking animal. DIIIEEEEE!!!!"

"Face it Midoriya! You're nothing compared to me, let alone your father!" Nine continually blasted wave after wave of beams at Izuku with his hydra heads coming out of his back and almost taking a huge bite out of Izuku. Meanwhile, the green haired boy aimed his hand at the villain hoping to shoot a blast of compressed air at him to have a barrier block him. "With the powers I have from conquering the drawbacks of my All For One, you are nothing compared to me!"

"You really think that, don't you?" Izuku went behind an inclined piece of flooring to catch his breath. "You're right now blinded by the fact you are no longer restricted that you don't understand limitations even me and my father had."

"You truly could not be more wrong." Nine went for another assault before feeling an extreme pain in his body. "What!?"

"The powers of our quirk is tremendous, but so is the backlash. We can't just haphazardly use the quirks like you've been doing for the last five minutes. We need to be smart with it." Izuku jumped over the cover he had activating Rivets and Muscle Augmentation with Scales to add some support to punch Nine directly in the chest. The act sent the villain into a wall with a dust cloud forming around. "If you want to use that power nonstop with quirks active like you've been doing, you better be prepared for extreme backlashes of the quirks. No power in this world can be used without some kind of equal or greater backlash without proper training."

Nine struggled to get out of the wall with blood coming down his face. "I guess that was a bit my fault for being too overconfident. I let my own personal feelings get in front of the reality of the situation. However, the gloves are coming off this round with this." Nine held up a small syringe to his neck with Izuku immediately charging to stop him. Unfortunately, he realized too soon for the villain to inject what was inside it inside his neck. "With this now, I have all the power I need to defeat you." The pressence around Nine altered with storm clouds swirling around and creating a small tornado in the area.

"So he doped his quirk up to take me on. And here I thought he couldn't get more difficult."

Fatgum had continually taken punches from Rappa with returning them to do next to nothing for the villain. Meanwhile, Ochako was faced with the difficult situation of trying to find out what she should do. 'Dammit. If I stay here, Fatgum is gonna have to fight alone. But if I get involved, I'll die. What do I do? What can I do?'

"C'mon fatso! Let's see what you've got!" Rappa continually punched Fatgum with the stored fat on his body becoming slimmer and slimmer to feel the punches more. "THIS IS WHAT I LIVE FOR! A DEATHMATCH THAT FORCES YOU TO FACE LIFE AND DEATH!"

'I gotta find a way out of this. Uraraka's already hurt and I can barely do anything against this guy. I gotta think.' As he did, the pro began thinking of the only thing he can do at this time. 'If I can store up all the kinetic energy his punches are making inside my body and release it at the right time, then maybe I can take him down. The problem with this is, I won't have any fat left and I'll be practically useless. No! I can't think about the after right now. For now, my top priority is taking down this guy and getting Uraraka out of here safely. Heroes never falter when they need to stand.'

Ochako began going into a deeper state of fear understanding she's absolutely useless during this. 'What do I do? What do I do? What do I do!? No matter how I play things out, I can't do anything! DAMMIT! I CAN'T EVEN SAVE MYSELF FROM FUCKING VILLAINS! WHAT TYPE OF HERO IN TRAINING HAS TO BE SAVED ON A DAILY BASIS!?' She continued to think before noticing several pieces of debris around. 'Wait a minute. If I can make Rappa weightless, then that means Fatgum can have an easier time handling him. The problem is more getting close enough to him without getting a fist to the stomach?' She got up and began moving with the feeling of her cracked rib adding severe amounts of pain. 'I'm only going to get one shot at this. But right now, most of this guy's attention is on Fatgum. That means I should be able to do this without being noticed.'

Fatgum kept losing fat with more and more energy being stored in his body. "ALRIGHT FATSO! SHOW ME WHAT YA GOT!" One final punch came for it to look like the pro wasn't going to last outside of this one.

"RELEASE!" The sound of Ochako shouting made both stop and the villain noticing several pieces of debris falling on top of where he stood.

"NOW THIS IS SOMETHING KID! THIS IS WHAT I WANT! LIFE AND DEATH!" Rappa attacked the falling earth to shatter it before it could do anything. Right when he was at the end, he started turning to see Ochako touching the center of his back. "ALRIGHT KID! SHOW ME WHAT ELSE YOU'VE GOT-" He stopped realizing he was upside down with Ochako coughing some blood up from the strain of her injury and her quirk. "I may not be strong in power, but Izuku taught me how to be strong in other ways. That includes knowing where to add in and where not to."

"Sorry kid, but it'll take more than that to take me down!" Rappa started pulling his arm back, preparing to punch the brunette for her to smile.

"I'm not the one you should be worried about." The villain turned to see Fatgum take the kinetic energy from all of his own punches and use it in a single punch aimed right at his face. "Now. Release." Ochako put her fingers together to put gravity back on the villain and allow Fatgum to land a solid punch to his face. The act sent him barreling forward into a wall and through it into a hallway. Rappa soon fell unconscious with this for Fatgum to help Ochako out and into the hall.

"I guess we win this round. Thanks for the support Uraraka."

"I appreciate it, but thank me when Eri is saved and the mission is done. We still have a job that we need to do." She tried to move as fast as she could before falling to the ground vomiting up blood.

"I gotcha." Fatgum placed Ochako on his back with the two heading deeper into the Hassaikai base to find the leader to regroup with everyone.

And that finishes this chapter. So things are heating up with everyone as they fight to defeat who they're facing. See what happens next time. Hope you all enjoyed and thanks for reading.
