Project New Dawn

"That was weak you know." Izuku tells the blue-haired man child. "Weaker than I expected, at least from the records we have. So is the crybaby going to fight me now?"

"I will, but I'd like to level the playing field before I do. 2 on 2 doesn't feel fair for me though I'm sure you can fight just as well in a 2v1 right?" Tomura says as the Nomu appears behind Izuku, stabbing Izuku through his left shoulder, snapping his clavicle, scapula and his pectoralis minor.

Izuku's eyes widen in pain as his left arm, all of it, falls to the ground limp. Izuku jumps away from the beast, as he presses on his pectoral muscles trying to stop the blood from flowing.

"Smart. Stopping the bleeding that way." Tomura says.

At the entrance, everyone stood in shock as they all just saw one of their classmates lose an arm while fighting something twice as large as him.

"IZUKU!!!" everyone screams.

"Sheesh, pipe it down will ya!" Ochako shouts back. "He'll be fine. A lost arm isn't the end of the world. As long as he's alive to fight, that's what matters."

"How can you be so cold? He's your freaking friend!!" Mina shouts at the girl.

"And?" Denki asks. "I'm sorry but unlike you all, we're not here to have fun. We've seen the horrors of the world first hand and a severed hand is the least of our worries. A lost human limb can always be replaced with prosthetics."

"That still doesn't mean that you'll be so cold!!" Momo says, backing up Mina.

Fumi scoffs. "If you think this was cold, you're in for a blizzard if you meet her."

"I know right. Besides, I'd bet my entire pay that in 3 days, Izuku will be back on his feet and will still be able to kick your asses without his left arm." Denki says with a smile.

"Aizawa'd agree that for a hero it's important that they live to fight another day and do whatever they can to ensure that, even if it means voluntarily severing a limb for survival." Ochako says as Denki suddenly thunders away. "We'll continue this later." Ochako tells them as Fumi disappears into the shadows and Ochako simply walks down the stairs and heads toward where Izuku was. 

"While I can understand where you all come from," Aizawa tells Mina and Momo. "I have to agree with them here, at times, sacrificing something like your arm to ensure survival or victory is important for a hero or a soldier for a matter." He says turning to the 4 students in front of him.

Mina tries to protest against this but gets interrupted by the screams of the Nomu.

Minutes ago

Izuku grabs Muramasa off the ground with his right hand, letting go of his bleeding shoulder. 'This should buy us enough time.' He thinks to himself as he dashes at the beast stabbing its head with the blade. The nomu screams in agony as Izuku drives it further into the skull of the beast as the rest of his team arrive on the scene.

"Wha- what did you do!!!" Tenko screams.

"You should know about this or were you too busy during history class?" Izuku says, leaving the blade in the Nomu's skull. "Well, in any case, here's a refresher for you." Izuku says, wincing slightly in pain as he takes off his jacket. Letting it fall to the ground, Izuku grabs a sleeve and steps on the jacket, ripping it off. "That is a copy of the blade of Muramasa, and though it is damaged, it still has to same properties."

"Perfect counter to your little beast, wouldn't you say?" Kaminari says as he appears behind Tenko with a crack, startling the man. Kurogiri tries to attack but gets electrocuted by Denki.

"Th-they achieved that?" Tomura says in shock.

"What does it look like?" Izuku says with a smirk as Fumi walks towards the beast and slowly drives the blade all the way to the hilt.

"DAMN YOU!!!!" Tomura shouts as he leaps at Izuku, only for Denki to grab him and shock the boy unconscious.

"You're not going anywhere Tenko!" Denki says as he sits on the now unconscious boy.

"Where the fuck were you!" Izuku mutters as he falls to his knees, weak from all the blood loss. "I could have used some help like 10 minutes ago." He says as Ochako walks towards the boy, grabbing the shirt he had previously ripped and starts to tie it around his arm.

Kurogiri, who had been faking his unconsciousness tries to make a move but in pinned down by Fumi. "H-How?" Kurogiri questions. "Nothing should be able to hold me in place!"

"You're not the only one blessed with the powers of the abyss." Fumi says as he sits on a rock while Dark Shadow keeps the villain pinned.

"I'm assuming that big brain of yours already has a plan?" Ochako asks him.

"Yep. You and Denki need to hit him will all you've got. Denki's quirk should overcharge that thing's nervous system. A normal human body should only be able to take small currents at one go, and assuming that follows basic human bodily physics, Denki will have to hit the thing with at least half a million volts for about three minutes." Izuku says, taking slow breaths as he tries to focus away from the pain in his left shoulder.

"Once he does that, you'll need to supercharge him with energy. He won't be able to regenerate because of Muramasa so adding more energy to him will supercharge his cell division and kill him internally. If that doesn't work, have Fumi separate the head and the rest of the body, and then you need to explode the head."

"That would work assuming that the alpha cell lies in his brain." Fumi says.

"Yes, but that's the backup plan Fumi assuming that he manages to get back from what Denki and Ochako are about to do." Izuku says.

"Alright, I'll tell that to the others, you sit here and rest for a bit." Ochako tells the boy as she gets up, readying her escrima sticks. "Denki, fry that thing. Point 5 Mil!" Ochako orders as the blonde-haired boy dashes towards the beast, leaving the unconscious Tenko on the ground, grabbing its head and sending a continuous charge of 0.5 Million volts through it.

For the first two minutes, the beast kept screaming in pain as its nervous system got overloaded by the continuous electric charge coursing through his body and by the end of the third minute, the beast had stopped screaming.

"Neural Overload complete." Denki says, giving Ochako a thumbs up.

"Alright then time for some energy treatment." Ochako says with a grin as she grabs the beast's shoulders and starts to charge it with energy. "Alright, that should do it. Fumi, kick the thing away." Ochako shouts as Fumi lets the two villains go, allowing Ochako and Denki to take over as he goes to throw the Nomu into the sky.

Dark Shadow grabs the beast and tosses it into the air, just in time as the body of the beast explodes into a million pieces.

"There goes a perfectly good sword." Fumi sighs as the hilt of Muramasa falls down a few feet away from him with the sword shattered into pieces just like the Nomu.

"It wasn't perfect. It had its flaws, at least compared to the original." Izuku tells the boy. "Besides there's nothing better for a blade than to get destroyed in battle right? It's definitely better than rusting away in a museum."

"Now will you two give up or do we have to fight?" Ochako asks as she stares at Tenko.

"You know Ocha, I never understood what you saw in that boy back then." Tomura says staring at Ochako.

"You don't get to call me Ocha. Not after what you did to Izuku and Fox!" Ochako tells the villain.

"Still holding that against me? You know I'm right. You all do." Tenko says. "There's only so long before you realise the truth. Kurogiri let's go All Might should arrive here soon and without the Nomu we'd lose the battle pretty quickly."

"Of course, sir." Kurogiri says as he opens a portal whisking the two of them away just as the doors are busted down by All Might.

"Sorry for being late!" All Might says before looking around to see the villains already defeated and Izuku, Ochako, Denki and Fumi sitting next to each other near the broken fountain. "What happened?"

"You're early!" Izuku shouts, looking at the man in annoyance.

"Izuku shut up." Ochako scolds him.

"But I'm right!" Izuku whines, the blood loss finally getting to him. "He's early. He came right in time to see the villains off."

"Izuku focus here. You remember the mission to the Sahara? Can you tell me about it?" Ochako asks him, trying to keep him from falling unconscious.

"I remember that." Izuku says. "Denki kissed Fumi in that mission."

"I did not kiss him. It was CPR!!!!" Denki shouts, blushing a bright pink while Fumi simply looked away in embarrassment. "If that's the case, then you kissed Ochako too! Multiple times might I add."

"Have I? Have I really kissed her before?" Izuku asks, his glance alternating between Denki and Ochako.

"Thrice actually. Once when I had to give you CPR back in Berlin, then you returned the favor during the mission to the Arctic and finally right before the day you went for the intervention mission in the middle east." Ochako says with a light blush on her face.

"Why don't I remember that?" Izuku asks her.

Back at the entrance.

"There was an ambush." Aizawa answers. "Those 4 took over, calling it their mission apparently. Pulled a rank on me, which apparently Izuku is a Major. Doesn't explain anything proceeds to casually talk with the leader of the villains who apparently knows them. Fights off 200 opponents in a span of 7 minutes."

"6 minutes and 12 seconds to be exact." Thirteen chimes in.

"Right, that. Then fights something meant to counter you, loses an arm and then Kaminari and Uraraka explode the damn villain using their quirks." Aizawa summarizes.

"All that happened in the last what 30 minutes?" All Might asks.

"Yup." 13 says.

"I'm asking for a pay raise when we get back." Aizawa says as he sighs for... well he lost count at this point. "Where's the rest of the faculty?"

"They're on their way." All Might answers just as the roof is broken in by men wearing attires similar to Izuku and his friends.

"More enemies?" All Might says, getting ready to fight.

"All Might, Mr. Aizawa stand down. They're on our side." Ochako answers. "All of you, I am Major Uraraka Ochako, I'm the acting leader here!" Every single soldier that had entered the place immediately saluted the girl.

"No, you're not." Izuku mutters. "I'm the leader."

"Izuku please. Just rest for now." Ochako tells him. "Major Izuku is the leader but seeing how he is physically exhausted and has lost a lot of blood, I'll be assuming charge."

"We are the SWORD's 7th Squadron based in Japan Major Uraraka! I'm their leader Captain Hikari Tanaka!" One of the soldiers says, saluting Ochako. "We intercepted your call and came to help as fast as we could!"

"Thank you for coming, Captain Tanaka. Though coming in a few minutes earlier would have been better." Ochako sighs.

"We're sorry for that Ma'am, but most of the forces from the Japan Base are currently investigating the incident involving Kaioh Ryuu and Kaioh Mu in the Northern Mountains of Japan." Captain Hikari explains.

"They're making a move too.... Interesting." Ochako notes. "Here are the orders for you. Leave everyone that's at the entrance. They're our friends and are in no way dangerous. Except maybe the Ash Blonde Guy, if he does something, knock him out. Non lethally. They're civies, treat them as such. Check them for injuries and get them out of here." Ochako orders. "I want you to get Izuku out of here ASAP. He needs immediate first aid; he is missing an arm. Everyone else in this area is an enemy, cuff them and take them away."

"Uraraka, who are these people?" All Might asks.

"I'm surprised you forgot us Yagi." A voice says walking towards All Might. All Might turns to see a blonde man with one arm, wearing a yellow, black and grey three-piece suit, complete with a trench coat that sat on his shoulders while his face was covered by a pair of black glasses.

"How do you know that name?" All Might asks the figure.

"Really? Is that the way to treat an old friend?" The man says as he casually walks up to the Number one Hero. "Oh right, I forgot. Here, let me jog your memory. Gryning. Stiga. Kraft. Svärd. Åska. Makt. Skymning." The man says blacking out All Might for a few seconds while standing. All Might regains his consciousness, turning to the man. "Hey there Yagi."

"Fox?" All Might says, shocked. "What the hell happened to you? Where's your arm?"

"Long story. Let's catch up over lunch later." Fox says.

"What did you do to All Might?" Aizawa asks.

"Helped him regain his memories Eraserhead." Fox explains. "Call me Fox. I'm the one that looks after Izuku and his team."

"So, you trained them?" All Might asks.

"I've just trained Izuku. The rest had their own trainers so to speak." Fox answers. "I can see that Eraserhead has some questions for me, why don't I come with you to UA, I'm sure Nezu would like to know this as well."

"Oye, where are they taking Izuku?" Bakugou asks Fox, as Izuku is teleported away by some of the soldiers.

"Now, shall we leave, or do you want to wait for the staff to come here?" Fox asks the three Pros, ignoring Bakugou and getting a nod from All Might in response to his question.

"Hey! Don't fucking ignore me! Where are they taking Deku!" Bakugou shouts once again, getting ignored once again as the man turns away and starts to walk towards the group of soldiers that was looking over Izuku's first aid. Angered by being ignored, Bakugou charges at Fox.

"Bakugou stop!" All Might says, trying to stop the boy from getting himself hurt before swiftly giving up and sighing in defeat as Bakugou gets close to Fox and is quickly turned 180 as the boy finds himself upside down with Fox holding his legs. Fox slams Bakugou on the ground, holding the boy's arms down with his knees.

"Don't think I forgot you, you little bastard!" Fox growls. "You remember the playground from 8 years ago? Before Izuku and his mother vanished?" Katsuki pales at the memory of that day. "Be happy they don't know your past like we do. Now be a nice little boy and stand behind your line like a good civie!" Fox grabs Bakugou by the collar, standing him up and pushing him towards the teachers.

"Get a leash for him or something." Fox mutters as he continues his walk. "Uraraka, what's his status?"

"Mr. Fox!" Ochako says, saluting the man. "I didn't expect you to be here."

"At ease, and it's alright. What's his status?" Fox asks.

"They've given him pain killers and propofol for general anaesthesia and secured the wound with sterile pads and bandages. He's lost about half a litre of blood, so he shouldn't be in a lot of danger. Aside from that his left clavicle and scapula are completely shattered, and a torn pectoralis minor." Ochako explains. "They've taken him to HQ for medical attention."

"So, his arm's been ripped off?" Fox asks.

"Yes sir." Ochako answers.

"You still have a lot to learn when it comes to mission reports Uraraka. Always remember, simpler is better. Now, I'm assuming he'd like a prosthetic arm once he walks up." Fox sighs. "I'll talk to the engineers up there. Tell me about the enemy."

"It was Tenko, sir." Ochako answers. "He seems to have joined forces with All for One and has taken the moniker Shigaraki Tomura."

"Hmm."

"Aside from that there were two non-human beings that were there. One was a bird faced beast that Tenko called a Nomu and the other one was the one responsible for their transportation. He was called Kurogiri; he possessed a class A teleportation quirk."

"What happened to the beast?"

"The nomu had to be decimated, that would be the word most apt for what happened to it." Ochako answers. "The beast had super-strength, shock absorption and hyper-regeneration. He was able to come back after being torn in half by Izuku. To defeat it, Izuku used Muramasa's regeneration preventing abilities in conjunction with Denki's electricity and my power."

"So, it exploded to pieces?"

"Basically."

"Good work. All of you. Get back to base. I'll handle the stuff here." Fox says.

Ochako nods. "Denki, Fumi, we're heading home. Oh, and you should talk to UA about their firewalls, Denki was able to hack into them in under a minute." Ochako tells Fox as the trio tag along with a soldier and get teleported away.

Peak. The Headquarters of SWORD. (It's finally back after making a weird appearance in the first chapter. YAY!)

Ochako and the two boys arrived at the base and were immediately handed glasses by one of the soldiers.

"Welcome home Major Uraraka, Major Kaminari and Major Tokoyami." The soldier greets. "Your rooms are ready, and your showers are being prepared as we speak. Major Izuku is being treated in the Med-Bay by our doctors. Fox already asked the engineers to create a prosthetic arm for him made purely out of vibranium. Once you are freshened up, please head over to the Boss's office, she has requested to meet with all of you."

"You don't need to be so formal with us Striker." Ochako says, smiling at the girl.

"You don't need to be formal either then Ocha." The girl says as they walk towards the boarding facilities. "How's UA? I heard there was an ambush?"

"UA's the same Yumi. The classes are still boring, and I can't carry my guns and knives either." Ochako sighs. "But it's alright. And the ambush was an amateur's job, unorganized as heck."

"And Izuku?"

"Oh well All For One's finally made a move." Ochako answers.

"Really?" Striker says. "Looks like you guys were right. First, the Kaioh's making their moves and then the big bad himself."

"Ochako, I was thinking of meeting Abigail first, get that out of the way and then you know turn in for the day after some food." Denki tells her.

"I agree with him, if we go to our rooms now, we'd definitely turn in for the day. It'd be better for us to talk to her now." Fumi adds.

"Alright then. Yumi, we'll catch up over some food later, we'll just get the stuff with Abigail done with later." Ochako says.

"Sure, I'll be in the cafeteria then." Yumi says as they part ways with the three heading to the topmost floor of the structure (or is it a space station?).

The three enter the lift, entering their access codes into the lift. Their destination was a massive office that covered the whole floor. 

A singular massive window sat at the edge, showing the massive emptiness of space as well as a view of Earth. A massive desk sat in the middle of the room.

"Ms. Abigail, we heard that you called for us." Ochako says as a chair turns, revealing a woman that seemed to be in her 40s

"Ochako, Fumi, Denki!!!! How are you guys!" Abigail greets them.

"We're alright ma'am. Just exhausted a little bit." Denki says with a smile.

"Alright, let's get to work then, shall we?" Abigail says. "Have a seat." The trio nods and sits opposite the lady. "Mission report."

Ochako then proceeds to reiterate the explanation she gave to Fox.

"So, he's finally making a move." Abigail comments.

"Yes ma'am, and he is following his same pattern and attacking the One for All Holder like always. We should be able to predict his next attack." Denki answers. "But with Tenko on his side, we might have to make a few changes."

"And what are your predictions?"

"Tenko might want to recruit more people, this time he'll go for quality over quantity. The first attack was to announce to the world the existence of Shigaraki Tomura, the next one will probably be a more strategic attack, one to show their strength. And among the people, we've identified as possible new members is definitely Hero Killer: Stain. He has been in the news quite a lot and having Stain on their side might be good for their overall portfolio as an organization. That means if we're able to track down the Hero Killer, we'd be able to catch Tenko again." Denki says.

"There is also the possibility of him going after underworld organizations. The Yakuza are a definite target and maybe even some if not all of the Kaiohs, since they might side with him given his influence and the way their goals align, maybe even the MLA. All For One's battle with All Might 6 years ago, definitely left him injured and there is only so long that a human body can sustain itself, even with a vitality quirk, meaning AFO is looking for a new host for his quirk." Fumi points out. "He's probably grooming Tenko to be his new vessel."

"That would mean that everything Tenko does right now would be simple measures to gather forces for a larger war to come." Ochako continues. "That would also explain Nomus. Artificial life forms that feel no pain and can follow orders perfectly. They'd be the ideal soldiers. Combine that with the forces of the underworld, and there goes modern society."

"So, he's basically playing chess." Abigail says. "Unluckily for him, this time he's going to be facing not one but 2 of the greatest minds of this century. I'm assuming Fox is explaining stuff at UA?"

"Yes ma'am." Fumi says.

"Alright, I'll talk to him directly. You three get some rest. I'll check up on Izuku on my way out." Abigail says as she opens a drawer on her desk.

"Yes ma'am." The three get up, saluting the lady before leaving.

"This is going to be your fall All for One." Abigail mutters as she picks up a small earpiece from the drawer. "Connect me to Fox via Holo-call."

Back down on Earth, right after the trio left.

"Where did those three go?" Aizawa asks.

"I sent them home. And I suggest that you send these kids home as well before we start our little chat." Fox explains as the doors to USJ are broken down yet again. This time by the UA staff.

"WE HAVE arrived?" Mic yells, only to see everything being cleared up.

"Calm down Mic. The ambush was defeated." Aizawa sighs.

"By whom?" Midnight asks.

"Problem Quartet. And this is their caretaker as I'm led to believe. His name's Fox." The tired man explains.

"Aizawa and the rest of you, get the kids home." Nezu orders.

"Yes sir. Alright, all of you idiots board the bus you came on. Midnight, Mic and Vlad will accompany you back. From there, call your parents and ask them to pick you up. If they can't pick you up, ask the reception for a ride home." Aizawa orders the students as the three teachers guide them back to the bus.

"Now, Mr. Fox, I believe it was." Nezu says, sitting on All Might's shoulders. "How are you exactly related to those kids."

"I wouldn't call them kids, they're scarier than most adults, but I'm their caretaker as Eraserhead explained." Fox answers. "However, Izuku is the only one that I have personally trained."

"I'm not fighting him. Sorry." Aizawa says, completely out of the blue.

"Oh right, Izuku did tell me that he had fought you during the entrance exams." Fox recalls.

"Fought would be a loose term." Aizawa sighs.

"It would be a 'lose' term." All Might jokes, causing Fox to laugh.

"Hilarious as always Yagi." Fox says, shocking Nezu.

"Oh right, apparently, All Might knows about the whole whatever is going on here." Aizawa adds. "He had forgotten or something, but Fox somehow jogged his memory."

"Something like that. But I'd like to discuss it with you and the rest of the staff. Because All For One has finally made his move." Fox says. "But he's not the only one that's making a move. The Kaioh's are too. And we have reason to believe that they might come together in the near future."

"All For One? As in the guy that Izuku said was smarter than Nezu?" Aizawa asks him as Fox gets a call.

"Sorry, I'll need to take this." Fox says as he answers the call, only to get a hologram of Abigail standing in front of him. "I really need to get my ringtones for Holo-calls changed." He sighs.

"FOX! I caught you just in time. I need to talk to Nezu." Abigail says.

"He's right here. Hold on." Fox says as he goes to All Might and picks Nezu up and hold him so Abigail can see him. "Oh, and Yagi's here too."

"YAGII!!!!! How are you, you blonde baboon!" Abigail shouts, smiling at the Number 1 hero.

"Abigail? It's been quite long." All Might says. "How have you been?" 

"I've been good. You're looking at Director of SWORD, Ms. Abigail Brant. We can catch up later, a lot has happened since you left. For now, I'd like to talk to Nezu." Abigail says.

"I'd suggest waiting till we get to UA. Walls have ears after all." Fox says.

"I agree with Fox. My office is a better place to discuss sensitive matters." Nezu says.

"Fox, follow them to UA. I'll meet you there." Abigail says, cutting the call.

"Gentlemen, shall we?" Fox asks as the pros lead the students and him to UA.
