Chapter 8
"Stay back!" Aizawa immediately yelled at the students. "Those are villains!" He grabbed his scarf as he glared down at the villains.
"Villains?" Mina asked in fear beside Izuku. "But that shouldn't be possible! Right?" She asked looking at Izuku.
"What villains are dumb enough to break into a school for heroes?" Kirishima asked looking down in shock of dozens of villains poured out of the portal.
"Sensei." Yaoyorozu said looking back at Thirteen. "Aren't there sensors to detect intruders?"
"Yes there are but..." Thirteen looked down at the villains. "They don't seem to be working."
"It must be one of their quirks then." Todoroki said looking down at villains with contempt. "This place is far from campus and they picked a time where few would be around. So they may not be as dumb as they seem."
Thirteen nodded. "They must have a plan especially with such a well planned sneak attack."
"Thirteen begin evacuating now." Aizawa said looking back at the rescue hero. "One of the villains' quirks is likely jamming the sensors and is probably a electric type quirk." He turned to look at Kaminari. "Kaminari try to contact the school with your quirk."
"Wait Sensei!" Izuku said in worry as Aizawa stepped towards the stairs. "You can't fight them alone. Head-on battle doesn't suit your fighting style an-"
Izuku was silenced by Aizawa's glare. "No hero is a one-trick pony." With that the teacher jumped into the fray. Immediately knocking out three villains and then two others.
"C'mon we need to get moving!" Thirteen said looking at the students as they stepped towards the door.
But was stopped as that same black mist formed in front of the door. "I won't allow that."
"Greetings." The mist formed into a head of sorts with acid yellow eyes that glared down at the students and hero. "We are the league of villains. Please forgive our audacity but today we have come to end the life of All Might."
Izuku looked at the misty form in fear.
"But sadly it seems that his schedule has been revised." The man made of mist sadly said. "No matter." His head snapped up to glare at the students. "My role remains the same."
"Not if we end you first asshole!" Bakugou yelled leaping in front of the man along with Kirishima and sending a massive explosion at the man.
The blond seemed to think he had destroyed the man.
"That was close." Until he spoke from the stairs. "And quite impulsive had I been someone else you'd have killed me." The man's voice held a smile. "Would you really want blood on your hands little hero?" He chuckled. "No matter you'll all be writhing in torment soon enough."
Black mist exploded out from the man's cloudlike form and wrapped around the students.
"Now BEGONE!" The man ordered as the mist began consuming the students.
Izuku flailed in rage as Venom began emerging from his skin. Only for his limbs to be consumed by the mist.
"Oh it seems Phage was right." The man whispered with a surprised tone. "Another member of it's kind is here after all."
Izuku flailed midair as he appeared from a portal made from black mist. Before he landed in a massive pool of water and quickly began sinking.
'Wha? The flood zone?' Izuku thought as he looked around in confusion. 'That villain has a teleportation quirk then.'
"There you are!" A voice echoed through the water.
Izuku twisted to look at a man with a shark quirk.
"It's nuthin' personal kid." The man said as he opened his mouth inhumanly wide. "But say goodbye!" He rushed towards Izuku his mind intent on killing the boy.
Only to freeze in fear as the boy was replaced by a massive man with a fang filled mouth.
Venom surged forward and grabbed the man by his throat. And choked him into unconsciousness.
"We should end you." Venom said bubbles roaring from it's mouth. "But we're not very hungry right now so your meat would just go to waste."
With that Venom let go of the man and began swimming to the surface. Once his head breached the water he sent a tendril towards the boat the floated on the water.
"Midoriya!" Tsuyu called out from the boat waving towards Venom as it pulled itself towards the boat. She spat out her tongue wrapping around his massive torso and helped him up onto the boat.
"You're here too Midori!" Kaminari exclaimed in surprise as Venom stood on the boat. "Good because I'm pretty much useless around water."
"Hmm true your quirk is not nearly as effective as our's is in this environment." Venom said looking down at the two.
"Forget quirks kero." Tsuyu said looking up at the stairs they had been taken from. "How'd they know we were here?"
"That mist man said something about our schedule." Venom said looking over the edge of the boat. "They probably caused the media rush so they could steal it."
"Seriously?" Kaminari said in shock. "What'd be the point of that?"
"That villain said something about killing All Might kero." Tsuyu said looking at the blond. "If they've come here with so many villains then they must have come up with a plan."
"But... to kill All Might..." Kaminari trailed off.
"They'd need some crazy powerful quirks." Venom finished thinking of it's child.
"You think there's a villain out there who's strong enough to beat All Might?" Kaminari asked looking at his fellow students.
"Speaking of villains." Tsuyu said pointing out at the water. "It looks like we have company."
A large group of villains with water based quirks had circled the ship.
"Indeed." Venom said before pausing in thought. "If they really have someone who can beat All Might then we need to stop them." Venom clenched it's fist. "We need to fight."
"I get where you're coming from Midoriya." Kaminari said before he pointed down to the villains. "But those are real villains! And we've had what? A day of combat training? What're we supposed to do especially if they have someone who can beat All Might?"
"Kaminari." Izuku began as Venom's head opened up revealing his. "If we don't fight and we just let them kill All Might how can we call ourselves heroes?"
Kaminari paused and looked away from the greenette. "Alright." The blond said sighing. "What're you thinking?"
Izuku smiled beneath his mask before was once again covered by Venom. "Your quirk allows you to produce a lot of electricity." Venom said before pointing down at the water. "And that's a whole lot of water to conduct it."
"But what if it hits you guys?"
"We'll be fine." Tsuyu said looking at the blond. "As long as we stay away from the water."
And with that the three (or four if you count Venom) constructed a plan.
Izuku stood by Tsuyu in just his costume as the girl crouched down preparing to jump. He crouched down and wrapped his arms around the girl's chest as she wrapped her arms under his knees.
"You guys sure about this?" Kaminari asked as he sat on the railing of the boat.
"Yep." Izuku said nodding. "Once we're sure that the villains are incapacitated I'll send a tendril down for you."
Kaminari nervously nodded. "On three." He said looking down at the water.
'Ready partner?' Izuku thought as Kaminari started counting.
'Yeah, yeah I'll let frogface borrow some of my strength.' Venom replied making tendrils emerge from Izuku's flesh to wrap around Tsuyu's body. Namely her legs as Kaminari reached two.
"Three!" And with that Kaminari jumped into the water as Tsuyu jumped into the air.
Izuku and Tsuyu soared into the air with help from Venom as the water below them lit up with electricity. The villains that had been in the water floated to the surface knocked out thanks to the volts that coursed through them.
Among them Kaminari floated up flailing in the water.
A tendril exploded out of Izuku's back. It slammed into Kaminari's chest wrapping around it before reeling him in adhering him to Izuku's back.
"You okay Kaminari?" Izuku asked looking back at the blond boy.
"Wheeeeeeey!" Kaminari said drooling heavily as he gave two thumbs up.
Izuku looked at Tsuyu. "Should we be worried?"
Tsuyu glanced back at Kaminari as he began drooling onto Venom's tendrils. "...probably."
The three landed in one of the shallower parts of the flood zone. Izuku helped Kaminari move forward to make sure he doesn't trip and drown in water the only came up to their waists.
"What should we do now?" Tsuyu asked looking at Izuku.
"Calling for help is our main priority for now." Izuku said as he stopped Kaminari from tripping for the tenth time.
'We need to take care of Phage.' Venom growled as it thought of it's wayward son. 'It may be one of my weaker children but... it's a monster and we need to stop it.'
Izuku looked at the plaza. Phage stood beside the man who wore severed hands watching as Aizawa fought a multitude of villains.
"We should avoid the plaza it's dangerous..." Izuku trailed off as Aizawa was grabbed by the massive black skinned and beaked villain and slammed to ground.
He along with Tsuyu (Kaminari just stood deaf to the world) watched in horror as the man's head was slammed repeatedly into the ground. Before it grabbed his arm snapping it like a twig in it's massive hand.
"Venom mask!" Izuku yelled as he surged forward and jumped onto the plaza. Venom's biomass exploded out of the cracks in his costume enveloping him.
"Another player?" The severed hand wearing man growled as he scratched his neck. "And it looks like you Phage. What the hell is going on?"
"Calm down Shigaraki." Phage chuckled as it stepped forward. It's right arm was transformed into a long blade. "My dear progenitor hasn't seen me in a very long time." Phage said smiling at Venom. "How are you anyway? I see you have a new host what couldn't find a suitable meathead and had to resort to a scrawny brat?"
"At least I allow my hosts to have a say in our actions." Venom growled as it glared at it's child.
Phage shrugged. "Not all of us are weaklings like you."
"We aren't weak." Venom said glaring at it's child as it readied itself. "We are VENOM!" With the cry of it's name Venom charged forward and slammed its fist into Phage's jaw.
"Now we're talking!" Phage said laughing as it slashed it's arm upwards. Aiming to cut off Venom's arm.
Only for the black symbiote to block with a blade of it's own.
'Wait you can create blades?' Izuku asked confused.
"Yes but not very well." Venom muttered as it struggled against Phage who didn't seem to be exerting as much force.
"Oh are you talking to your host?" Phage asked chuckling as it forced Venom back a step. "My, my father you are still as much a sympathetic fool as always." Phage said before it slammed its left fist into Venom's face.
'How is it so much stronger than us!?' Izuku asked as Venom stumbled back.
'In my species the child is always more powerful than it's parent.' Venom answered as it matched blades with Phage again.
"Did that villain just call you dad!?" Kaminari exclaimed from the water. Apparently having fixed his brain.
"Oh more NPCs how annoying." The villain known as Shigaraki said scratching his neck. Before he dashed at them moving inhumanly fast for someone who didn't have a speed quirk.
The man's hand had nearly touched Tsuyu's head when Venom batted Phage away and leaped at Shigaraki. Venom slammed it's arm into Shigaraki blasting the thin man away.
"RUN!" Venom roared glaring down at Kaminari and Tsuyu who stood their fear apparent in their eyes. "RUN NOW!"
"You're really annoying." Shigaraki said rising to his feet as he glared at Venom. "Noumu kill him." He said looking at the massive beast of a man that sat upon Aizawa's back.
Noumu rose to it's feet. It's empty yellow eyes looked dumbly at Venom as drooled fell from it's twisted yellow maw. The creature's vantablack skin was stretched taut by it's muscles.
It bent down and prepared to rush Venom. Only to stop as Phage kicked it in the face.
"Sit down and stay like a good human." Phage said looking down at the brute with contempt before turning to glare at Venom. "This is between me and my daddy."
"M-Midorya why does he keep calling you dad?" Tsuyu asked her voice trembling with fear. Which was understandable given how closely she came to death.
"It's not Izuku that Phage's calling father Frogger." Venom said as it readied itself for combat. "He and I may share a body but we have far different histories."
"Yeah Venom's not the same as that little puke." Phage said pointing it's bladed arm at Tsuyu. "But you'll see that when I rip my weakling of a father away from it's weak little host." The orange symbiote smiled cruelly as it spoke. "And then Venom and it's host will be in their proper place my belly!"
"Like hell." Venom growled as it charged at Phage. Aiming to crush the smaller symbiote with it's bulk.
Phage jumped over Venom and slashed downwards with it's bladed arm. Making a large gash in Venom's back.
A mass of sharp tendrils exploded out of Venom's back. They surged forward stabbing into Phage's arm making the orange symbiote shriek in pain before it severed the tendrils with newly sharpened fingers.
Phage roared as it landed on the ground. It chest rippled before spikes grew out of it. The spikes seemed to bulge and shake before they exploded out of Phage's chest.
Venom's eyes darted to Aizawa who lay on the ground moaning in pain. Making a split second decision the black symbiote leaped forward and landed in a crouch in front of the man. Taking the spikes that would have turned the teacher into Swiss cheese.
"Oh I'm sorry did that hurt?" Phage asked in mock concern as it walked forward glaring at it's father. "Good!" It said laughing maniacally before surging forward aiming to sever Venom's head from it's shoulders.
Venom roared at the orange symbiote and batted it away. Slowly it rose to it's feet the spikes falling to the ground as it did.
Phage growled as it stabbed it's bladed arm into the ground. It's legs seemed to bulge out before tendrils exploded from it's back and slammed into the ground as it jumped propelling it into the air. Two more tendrils shot out of Phage's chest and slammed into Venom's shoulders making the black symbiote roar with pain.
The orange symbiote used those tendrils to pull itself towards Venom. It's legs wrapped around Venom's thick throat as it grabbed at Venom's head.
Phage pulled back on Venom's head slowly tearing the symbiote from it's host. That is until it was hit with the grip of a glock.
"Surprise bitch." Izuku growled his torso emerging from Venom's currently split open upper half. The young boy slammed his fist into the symbiote's mouth both knocking the creature off of his back and breaking his wrist.
"That hur- uggh!" Phage began but was cut off as Venom stomping onto it's chest.
"Did that hurt?" Izuku began as Venom reformed around his small frame. "Good." Venom said giving it's child a savage grin as it reached down and grabbed Phage by it's upper jaw. "Because this'll hurt a whole lot worse."
In a single brutal motion Venom tore Phage away from it's host. The symbiote gave what could be interpreted as a scream as it wriggled in Venom's hand.
Venom stepped off of Phage's former host (he was just an old man) and rolled it's shoulders. It stepped forward aiming to grab Aizawa and leave but two things interrupted it.
First All Might had torn open the entrance of the USJ lacking his normally bright smile. His eyes burned with rage as he looked down at the villains.
And second Shigaraki's yell of "Kill him!" Quickly followed by the massive brute punching a hole through Venom's abdomen.
Venom fell to it's knees. Blood gushed from it's wound as the creature pulled it's fist out of Venom.
'Veee...nooom.' Izuku thought his mind delirious with pain.
"I can fix this, I can fix this." Venom said forcing it's biomass to pour into the wound.
'Don't.... wanna die... don't wanna... leave mom alone.'
"You won't... I promise."
Venom grew quiet as it focused fully on fixing it's host. Izuku's spine was ruined and several of his organs were damaged.
'Dammit.' Venom growled as it tried to fix Izuku's innards. 'I need more nutrients... but even with that.'
"Young Midoriya." All Might said his voice filled with rage as he reached the bottom of the stairs. "Are you able to walk?"
"No.... spine is... bad." Venom said struggling to speak as it tried to heal it's host. "And organs are... not good."
All Might nodded firmly as he stepped in front of the symbiote. "Then I'll just have to hold back." The massive man said giving Venom a brief smile. "So I don't hurt you or Aizawa." Before he charged forward to grab his colleague.
'Need more-' Venom was then reminded of the wriggling symbiote it held.
"Hello son." The black symbiote growled as it brought Phage up to it's face. "Ready to help your dear old dad?"
The last thing Izuku saw before passing out was Venom sinking it's razor sharp teeth into Phage. And seeing the symbiote cry out in pain and it was torn apart and swallowed.
