Chapter 14: Game Over
"Kill the Symbol of Peace."
Recap from the previous episode.
Opening plays.
"Do you really mean it, Tsu?!" Mineta beamed when she said Mineta and Midoriya were amazing.
"At the time, yes." Asui confirmed.
The villains tried to get unstuck from one another with failure.
"I had a bowel movement this morning, so those things'll stick all day." Mineta chuckled while Asui pulled him through the water, Midoriya walking beside her, holding his broken fingers.
"We did not need to know that." Jiro cringed while Midoriya took notes.
"Mineta." Midoriya looked up from his notes, asking him, "You said that 'it depends on how you're feeling that they can stick for a day', what are the different ranges?"
"Take your damn notes later, Deku! Some of us are trying to watch." Bakugo yelled at him.
Midoriya started muttering to himself about how his plan didn't work how he wanted it to until Asui interrupted him, saying, "Midoriya, stop that. It's scary."
Midoriya turned to face Asui as they paused in the water.
"Rather than reflecting back, shouldn't you think about what to do next?" Asui questioned.
"Y-You're right." Midoriya agreed, wincing from the pain in his broken fingers.
"Are you all right?" Asui worried.
"Yeah. Anyway, we should make getting help our top priority. It would be best to follow the shore and avoid the central plaza as we head toward the exit." Midoriya explained, moving his shoulder pad covering over his hand.*
"That's true. Aizawa Sensei has drawn a large number of villains to the plaza." Asui agreed.
'But there are too many villains.' Midoriya thought before saying, "...but I think he overexerted himself by jumping into that crowd of villains to protect us."
"I did what I had to do to protect you kids." Aizawa pointed out.
'I should've been there.' All Might squeezed his leg.
"-Midoriya, don't tell me you..." Mineta murmured. Midoriya nodded, Mineta gaping, "Stupid, stupid, stupid!"
"I'm not thinking of doing anything that'll get in his way. But if we can just find an opening and lessen Aizawa Sensei's load, even a little." Midoriya explained in finer details.
"We had our first win in our first battle. That was where we were mistaken. We were under the illusion that our powers could actually work against our enemy." Midoriya narrated.

"I didn't know you were getting poem lessons from Tokoyami." Kaminari told Midoriya, pointing to Tokoyami behind the other couch.
"I'm… not…?" Midoriya questioned.
"Well, you two seem similar in poetry." Kaminari shrugged while Tokoyami sighed.
'Landslide Zone'
"'Scatter you and kill you', huh?" Todoroki asked, cold air escaping his mouth. The villain that he captured with his ice stood frozen, Todoroki objecting, "I hate to say this, but you just look like guys with quirks they didn't know what to do with."
Todoroki started walking away through the frozen statues that were once villains.
"Th-This guy… The instant we warped here…" a villain choked out.
"Is he really a kid?" another questioned.
"I thought that Shigaraki said not to underestimate us." Todoroki noted.
'-through the trouble of bringing this whole crowd, too…'
'Killing All Might… At first glance, I thought they had gathered all their elite and would overpower him by numbers…' Todoroki observed until two villains jumped him, but using his ice, Todoroki froze them, making them unmovable.
'...but a closer look shows that the pawns they prepared for us were just a ragtag bunch of thugs.' Todoroki finished, pulling a pole from one of the villains hands, making him fall to the ground, continuing, 'From what I saw, there were only four or five truly dangerous people. If that's the case, then the next step I should take is…'
"Hey, at this rate, your cells will slowly die." Todoroki told the villains.
"Jeez, man, you are so brutal." Sero chuckled nervously.
"They are villains." Todoroki argued.
"I'm guessing that next step is the finale!" Kirishima grinned, hardening his arms to pound them together.
"-avoid something so cruel if possible." Todoroki told them, making one start to cry as his freezing hand stood inches from his face, asking with narrowed eyes, "On what basis do you think you can kill All Might? What's your plan?"
'Mountain Zone'
Kaminari screamed as he dodged a villain's punch.
Half of the class bursted out laughing; Jiro's being the loudest. Kaminari sat with his arms crossed, making a pouting face.
"I wished I'd been there to see this." Bakugo smirked.
"Kaminari could've been hurt, Bakugo!" Iida shouted at him.
"-with these guys? What's going on?!" Kaminari shrieked as he made his way to Yaoyorozu and the earphone jack girl.
"Worry about that later. Right now, we need to figure out how we'll get away from all these people." the girl remarked.
"Then give me a weapon, too!" Kaminari exclaimed.
"You're the electric guy, aren't you? Hurry up and take care of them!" the earphone jack girl stated.
"You saw during the combat training, didn't you? We were paired up! I can only cover myself with electricity! I can discharge electricity, but it's not like I can control it! I'll hit you two, too! It's like, you know, the same as Todoroki! Even if we wanted to call for help, there's interference jammin' the signal." Kaminari explained to her, finishing, "Listen, you two. Right now, you can't count on me. I'm counting on you!"
"You're a guy, aren't you? Stop whining." the girl sighed.
"Now I really wish I was there. You're such a wimp, Kaminari." Bakugo snickered.
"Hopefully it shows more, because it gets better after this." Jiro chuckled.
"I'm not a wimp." Kaminari whispered to himself, sulking.
Kaminari was knocked into a villain by the girl, eletricfing him.
"Oh, it's working. I'm strong. You two can count on me!" Kaminari declared to her.
"Hey, you're too happy-go-lucky." the girl sighed before she turned around as she noticed a villain try to swing at her.
"Stop messing around, kid!" a villain yelled at her.
She plugged one of her earphone jacks into her boot, and blasted a soundwave. Kaminari watched it happen, but when he turned around, he got punched in the nose by the same villain that tried to attack her.
Most of the class covered their mouth to stop themselves from laughing again while Kaminari sulked even harder when he saw Jiro fall out of her spot on the couch, her not even caring to stop herself.
"This is no laughing matter! Kaminari could've been badly hurt!" Iida yelled out, making the class settle down.
A third villain tried to jump Kaminari, but Yaoyorozu threw a net at him and captured him, making him fall into Kaminari's electricity.
"Both of you should take this more seriously." Yaoyorozu told them.
"Sorry, I thought it was a good idea at the time." the girl groaned back.
'Kyoka Jiro. Quirk: Earphone Jack'
"Kaminari, you should've requested something to help you aim in your costume order!" Jiro told him.
"I did just that to help me in the provisional hero license exam!" Kaminari exclaimed.
"Glad to see you finally listened to me." Jiro chuckled.
"Done!" Yaoyorozu shouted.
"Huh?!" Jiro questioned.
"It takes some time…" Yaoyorozu explained as her back started glowing until a blanket bursted out over her and Jiro, Yaoyorozu finishing, "...to create something big."
"A sheet? Is it supposed to be a shield?" Kaminari asked.
Yaoyorozu peeked out from under the blanket, looking at Kaminari.
"It's an insulation sheet 100 millimeters thick. Kaminari." Yaoyorozu smirked.
Kaminari grinned, understanding.
"I see. In that case, I can be really strong!" Kaminari used the electricity generated from his arms, and aimed it at the ground, frying most of the villains to a crisp.
"Now then, I am worried about the others. Let us join them quickly." Yaoyorozu told Jiro, peeking from under the blanket when Kaminari stopped.
"Get him!" Iida announced.
Sero grabbed Mineta, putting tape over his eyes as Yaoyorozu's breasts showed on screen (covered by mist, luckily).
"AH!" Mineta screamed, trying to get it off while Jiro plugged one of her earphone jacks into Kaminari, shocking him.
Jiro and Sero gave a thumbs up to Yaoyorozu, who was very grateful.
'Momo Yaoyorozu. Quirk: Creation'
"Violent growth…" Jiro whispered. She heard footsteps coming their way, Jiro covering Yaoyorozu, shouting, "Kaminari, don't look this way!"
Kaminari held a thumbs up saying, "Yee!"
'Denki Kaminari. Quirk: Electrification'
"Oh come on!" Kaminari shouted, recovering from the shock, "Why'd it show you guys looking cool, while it showed me being an idiot?!"
"Because that's just what you are, a huge idiot." Jiro laughed.
Jiro walked over to Kaminari as a fist punched up from the ground.
"Hey, Midoriya, we're just here to see how things are going, okay?"
"Wait, what was that?! Why'd it leave the scene to go to Deku?" Bakugo yelled.
"I don't know, but if we watch…" Kirishima put his arm on Bakugo's shoulder, with a grin on his face. Bakugo shoved him off, then looked at the TV.
Midoriya, Mineta and Asui came to the shore line, watching Eraser Head punch villains left and right; capturing them, and throwing them to the ground. Eraser Head looked up as the hand guy started running at him.
'23 seconds.'
"The last boss." Eraser Head announced as he slung his scarf at him.
'24 seconds.'
The guy grabbed his scarf.
'20 seconds. 17 seconds.'
Eraser Head grabbed his scarf back and elbowed the guy in the gut, Midoriya, Asui and Mineta staring in awe.
"Ribbit?" Asui questioned, losing her smile.
'Damn.' Eraser Head gritted his teeth.
"It's hard to see because you keep moving around, but there's an instant when your hair falls." the hand guy started, Eraser Head widening his dry eyes, the guy adding, "That's when you've finished an action."
The man had his hand on Eraser Head's elbow, starting to turn gray.
"And the space in between had gotten shorter and shorter."
Midoriya and Asui gasped.
"Don't push yourself, Eraser Head."
Eraser Head's elbow skin started to decay.
The class gasped in shock.
"Oh my…" Yaoyorozu choked.
Aizawa looked away, not baring to see.
All Might squeezed his eyes shut. 'I should've been there!'
Eraser Head pushed the man away, his elbow hanging limply. Jumping back, Eraser Head thought, 'My elbow's crumbling!'
Eraser Head glanced behind him, seeing a villain try to attack before Eraser Head ducked, punching him away, and prepared for the next one before villains surrounded him. Eraser Head stood in the middle, breathing heavily while his elbow was in tremendous pain.
"That quirk isn't suited for fighting long fights against a large group, is it? Isn't this too different from your usual job? What you're good at is a short fight against a surprise attack, right? Even so, you jumped right in to fight us from the front. Was that to put your students at ease?" the hand guy asked Eraser Head.
A villain ran for Eraser Head, who dodged and captured him with his scarf as another villain came, Eraser Head using the other villain as a shield against the second. Eraser Head kicked and punched away villains before turning to the handed man.
"You're so cool… You're so cool…!" the hand man hummed, pausing to tell Eraser Head, By the way, hero…"
Eraser Head turned around to see the giant bird creature towering over him.
"...I'm not the last boss."
"I can't look!" Mineta cried, covering his eyes.
Asui leaned against Uraraka, who hugged her in return.
Blood and Eraser Head's now broken goggles flew into the air.
Midoriya stared in horror, too scared to move.
"Aizawa Sensei…" Midoriya choked out.
Thirteen continued to try and suck up the warp gate.
"Black Hole, which sucks up everything and turns it all to dust. I see. That is an astounding quirk. However, Thirteen, you are a hero who works to rescue people from disasters. As expected…" a warp opened in front of him and behind Thirteen, the warp finishing, "...your battle experience is less than half of that of a normal hero."
Thirteen started gasping as their Black Hole quirk started affecting them.
"A warp gate!" Thirteen gaped, their back cracking before breaking open.
"You turned yourself into dust." the warp narrowed his eyes.
The others students froze in shock as they watched.
This time, it was Asui's turn to comfort Uraraka while Ashido covered her eyes, Sero, Iida and Sato gritting their teeth.
"H-He got me…" Thirteen uttered as they stopped their quirk, their back tore apart.
"Teacher!" Ashido cried.
"Iida, run! Hurry!" Sato exclaimed, Iida opening his mouth to object.
'Use your quirk in order to save others!'
Iida closed his mouth, gritting his teeth as he fired up his engines.
"Damn it…!" Iida yelled, running for the entrance.
"Wait, that's illegal…!" Kaminari whispered to himself.
"What?" Jiro overheard.
"Iida swearing…" Kaminari explained.
"Does it truly matter? We were all in a life or death situation!" Jiro stated.
Iida gasped as a warp gate appeared in his path.
"If the other teachers are called here, it will be hard for us." the warp told Iida.
Iida stopped sharply in front of the gate, thinking, 'Everyone… was entrusted… to me! The whole class… I will…'
Shoji jumped in between Iida and the gate, holding it in his arms.
"Go! Hurry!" Shoji shouted, falling to the floor with the gate.
Iida began to run again, praying, 'Everyone, wait for me!'
"You impertinent- I will not allow you to go outside!" the warp exclaimed, heading for Iida as Uraraka noticed a metal brace in the mist.
'An automatic door! Should I kick it down? Is it a thickness I can kick down?' Iida asked himself as he neared the doorway.
"You impudent, four-eyes. Be gone!" the warp caught up to Iida, engulfing him in his fog.
"Villains." Midoriya narrated as Jiro and Yaoyorozu gasped, seeing a villain popping out of the ground.
"The world of pros."
Midoriya, Asui and Mineta stood in the water, staring in horror.
"We still hadn't… seen anything yet."
Eraser Head laid on the ground in a pool of his own blood.
"I'll tell you, Eraser Head. He's the anti-Symbol of Peace, the bioengineered 'Nomu.'" the hand guy explained the creature that pinned Eraser Head down.
Uraraka and Asui hugged each other while some of the class had a hand over their mouth in shock.
All Might couldn't hold it in anymore. Tears formed and rolled down his face. He briefly left his seat to find a packet of tissues.
'Why wasn't I there?!' All Might walked to the kitchen.
'Collapse Zone'
"Die…!" Bakugo yelled as he sent an explosion at two villains, who flew into the wall.
'Finally!' Bakugo grinned.
Kirishima fought with one who had a sword, cutting it in half with his hardening before chopping his neck. The two caught their breath, seeing no more villains coming for them.
"Is this all of them? They're so weak." Bakugo spat, one of his gauntlets missing.
"All right. Let's hurry up and go save the others! If we're here, then everyone else should be inside USJ, too. I'm worried about the guys with less offensive ability. Besides, because we ran off ahead, we slowed Thirteen down. If Thirteen had been able to suck up that fog, then this wouldn't have happened! As men, we have to take responsibility for what we did!" Kirishima explained to Bakugo.
"If you want to go, then go by yourself. I'm going to kill that warp gate." Bakugo declared.
"What? You're gonna act childish at a time like this? Besides, that guy's attacks are-" Kirishima started.
"Shut up! That gate bastard is the enemy's way in and out. I'm gonna cut off their gateway route for when the time comes." Bakugo shouted at Kirishima.
"What's moving on the ceiling?" Todoroki asked.
"Oh, that…" Kirishima smirked.
"Tch, thing tried to jump us, failed miserably." Bakugo scuffed while it happened on TV.
"Anyway, if these small fry are the ones assigned to us, pretty much everyone'll be fine, right?" Bakugo told Kirishima, holding a chameleon villain that tried to attack him.
"That reaction time was amazing. Anyway, were you always so calm and rational? I thought you were more like…" Kirishima stared in awe, an imagery of Bakugo with fangs appearing and the words, 'Die!'
"I'm always calm and rational, you spiky-haired punk!" Bakugo yelled at him.
"Oh yeah, that's more like it." Kirishima smirked.
"Then go if you want to!" Bakugo repeated, throwing the villain to the ground.
"Wait! Believing in our friend! That's real manly, Bakugo! I'll follow you!" Kirishima grinned, his arms hard as rocks as he banged them together.
"How could they not defeat those guys? They were hardly even villains!" Bakugo put his hands behind his head.
Three villains splitted up in the fire zone. One ran through a fiery street until Ojiro pushed him down, hanging from his tail that was wrapped around a pole.
"I see 'im! Over here!" one of the other villains called out to the other while Ojiro swung his tail to propel himself away.
'First, I need to make sure I'm not caught by the enemy.' Ojiro told himself.
"You were so brave by yourself, Ojiro." Hagakure repeatedly tapped his shoulder.
"I thought everyone was at the time…" Ojiro replied.
A dark hand pushed two villains into the wall in the squall zone.
"That makes six." Tokoyami told his classmate that got warped in the zone with him; a boy with a red and yellow costume, the dark hand flowing out from his chest while Tokoyami gave a thumbs up, his classmate doing the same. Tokoyami looked up, adding, "If we can just reduce enemy numbers little by little until help comes…"
Iida toward the doorway, getting close and closer until a dark shadow fell over him.
"You impudent, four-eyes. Be gone!" the warp caught up to Iida, engulfing him in his fog.
Iida tried for help before being engulfed in the fog until Uraraka touched the metal brace, making him float away from Iida.
"I don't know the theory behind it, but if he's wearin' somethin' like this, then it must mean he has a physical body." Uraraka observed, throwing the brace into the air along with the warp guy, Uraraka yelling out, "Go, Iida!"
"My body! Oh, no!" The warp gaped.
"He does have a body…" Uraraka and Bakugo stated at the same time, looking at each other in surprise afterwards.
Iida made it to the doors, using his hands to get the doors open. Using all his force, Iida managed to crack open the doors, sunlight filtering in.
"However-" the warp flew for Iida again.
"I won't let you!" Sero vowed, shooting out tape from his elbow to latch onto the brace while Sato pulled it back, the warp following. Sato swung the warp gate away from Iida, who continued opening the doors.
"Go…!" Sato shouted as he threw the piece of tape back, his glove attached.
Iida opened the doors wide enough for him to get out, running away at full speed.
"Engine Boost!" Iida announced, putting an extra boost to his engines as he headed for the school.
"Yeah, Iida! Emergency Exit Iida!" the class cheered, making Iida smile.
"It's game over." the warp narrowed his eyes.
Nomu twisted Eraser Head's wrist, screaming in pain as blood rolled down his hand.
The class got quiet quick, latching onto one another.
"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 hand man explained to Eraser Head, who glanced up to look at Nomu, flashing his eyes red before Nomu slammed his hand down on his arm, breaking it.
'It's like he's breaking a twig. I'm sure I erased his quirk. That means he is just that strong.' Eraser Head thought. Nomu grabbed Eraser Head's head, raising it up before Nomu slammed his head into the ground.
The class covered their eyes while some had tears in their eyes or were already rolling down their cheeks at what they were seeing. Aizawa winced as he thought of the tremendous pain he was in during that time.
'I should've…!' All Might closed his eyes, not bearing to watch.
"M-Midoriya, I can't take it anymore." Mineta whispered, tears forming in his eyes as he questioned, "I'm sure you must be having second thoughts, right?"
"Ribbit…" Asui agreed.
The warp appeared beside the man.
"Tomura Shigaraki." the warp addressed the hand man.
"Kurogiri, did you kill Thirteen?" Shigaraki asked him.
"I put Thirteen out of action, but there were students that I was unable to disperse, and one of them was able to get away." Kurogiri summed up the situation.
Shigaraki turned to him then looked away, scratching at his neck. "Kurogiri, you! If you weren't a warp gate, I would've crushed you to pieces. We can't win against dozens of pros. It's game over."
"The title is for their game over…" Tokoyami observed.
"You were there, weren't you, Bird brain? You already know we won!" Bakugo yelled at him.
"Let's go home." Shigaraki sighed.
Mineta gasped. "They're going home? Did he say they're going home?"
"That's what I heard." Asui nodded, Mineta starting to tear up again before latching onto her.
"All right! We're saved!" Mineta cheered quietly.
"Yes, but…" Asui gaped, Mineta latching onto her breasts before she held Mineta underwater.
"Nicely done, Tsu." Jiro laughed.
"Ribbit." Asui replied.
"-bad feeling about this, Midoriya." Asui told him.
Midoriya nodded in agreement, thinking, 'Don't they want to kill All Might? If they leave like this, U.A. will just beef up their security. 'Game over'?'
"Oh, yeah. Before we leave…" Shigaraki started, turning his head to Midoriya, Asui and Mineta's direction, finishing, "...let's smash some of his pride as The Symbol of Peace!"
In a blink of an eye, Shigaraki was over the three, his hand reaching out for Asui. Midoriya watched in horror, remembering what he had done to Eraser Head's elbow, thinking about that happening to Asui.
Uraraka screamed, hugging Asui tight.
"Damn it. You really are cool…" Shigaraki sighed.
Eraser Head glared at Shigaraki, his hair up, erasing his quirk. Nomu grabbed Eraser Head's head before smashing it into the ground, making Midoriya act.
'Crap, crap, crap, crap! He's clearly different from our early opponents. I've gotta save Asui and run away!' Midoriya yelled in his thoughts, preparing One for All in his arm, shouting at Shigaraki, "Let go of her!"
Shigaraki looked up from Asui at him as Midoriya yelled, "Smash!"
Midoriya's punch sent water over Asui and Mineta, the wind blowing away some other villains near them, breaking the lights in the arena. As the dust he brought up cleared, Midoriya looked at his arm to discover that it wasn't broken.
'My arm's not broken?! I'm finally able to control my power at a time like this?I did it! I was able to get in a good smash! All right!' Midoriya stared at his arm.
In his amazement, Midoriya looked up to see Nomu in front of him, blocking Shigaraki.
'When in the world… Wait, it didn't… hurt him…?' Midoriya gaped, slowly removing his fist from Nomu.
'Don't you think they are trying so hard because they have a way to kill him?'
'No way…' Midoriya widened his eyes.
"You move well. Your 'Smash', are you a follower of All Might's? I'm done with you." Shigaraki commented, a signal to Nomu as it grabbed Midoriya's arm and raised his giant hand. Asui immediately reacted, pushing Shigaraki's hand from her.
"Ribbit!" Asui stuck her tongue out to grab Midoriya as Shigaraki reached both his hands out for Mineta and Asui while Nomu held onto Midoriya.
A loud crash echoed as the door to the entrance was kicked down, making the students at the entrance turn heads, also getting the attention of Shigaraki. Midoriya, who had his eyes shut tight, slightly opened them, glancing at the entrance, that was ettle with dust while footsteps echoed. The students at the entrance started either smiling or bursting into tears.
"It's fine now! I am here!" All Might declared, stomping his foot down.
"All Might!" Mineta cried.
"Ribbit…" Asui uttered, holding Midoriya with her tongue.
"All… Might…" Midoriya choked out.
All Might stood on top of the stairs leading down, throwing his suit to the side.
"Oh, we're getting a 'Continue'..." Shigaraki grinned under the hand.
Ending plays.
"Why did it end like that?!" Mineta cried.
"This suspense is killing me!" Kaminari shouted.
"Is it not going to show what happened to Yaoyorozu, Kaminari and I?" Jiro wondered.
"It still hasn't introduced Koda yet." Shoji whispered.
"Good job on controlling your quirk for the first time, Deku! I wish I was there to see it!" Uraraka beamed at him.
"Thanks, Uraraka." Midoriya replied with a hand behind his head.
All Might let out a huge sigh of relief. Glancing at Aizawa, All Might asked, "Are you going to leave, Aizawa?"
"If we can grab any information on the League, I'm staying." Aizawa closed his eyes, sighing, 'It was brutal watching those kids in danger.'
He opened his eyes again, Aizawa announcing to the class, "You kids have enough time for two more episodes of this anime."
"Yes, sir!"
