Deku looked at the group of villains and sighed

Deku: mercenaries? Assassins?

The villains began to laugh and Deku analyzed everything as best as he could

Deku thought: what the hell is going on here?

He noticed how they weren't moving very much, almost as if they were waiting for something

Deku: are we doing this or what?-

Deku suddenly felt danger sense go off and narrowly dodged an attack, after landing he looked to see a high-end Nomu

Deku: A High-end? Then that means-

Izuku was suddenly attacked by all the villains at once, one of them shot out a projectile while the others started closing in

Deku's body was exhausted, his movements were slow and sloppy, and he could feel every attack getting closer and closer to hitting him

Without realizing it, he stepped on some kind of landmine and was sent flying with shrapnel shooting into his leg

Deku was just barely able to land properly, even with his injuries, out of nowhere he heard a screech and was attacked by a supersonic scream from the Nomu

Before he could even get up he was hit with some kind of electricity quirk

Deku thought: Think damnit! How can I get out of this?

Yoiichi(the first): Ninth! I think you should retreat!

Deku: you might be right... But that family-

Deku's leg was caught by some type of tentacle and he was thrown through into a building, the pain was really starting to catch up to Izuku

Deku thought: what if I can't win? My body won't respond, I can barely see right now...

Deku looked next to him and saw a pile of bodies, all belonging to the recently dead, what haunted him the most was the permanent look of fear and despair on their faces, these people were in their final moments scared and praying for a savior, he was supposed to be that savior, and he failed

Deku: this legacy... It's too much, Mom, Dad, Toshi, everyone... I'm sorry I can't

In his moments of self-pity and self-loathing, feeling utterly hopeless Izuku realized something

Deku: why did they stop attacking?

He looked up, and as the rain poured Izuku noticed the crowd that the villains were surrounding

Deku: s-stop, Hey! I'm your target!

He started to crawl towards them, using what little strength he had, but quickly noticed that Rainwater wasn't the only thing going down the storm drains

There was a stream of blood, flowing towards Deku, he focused and realized every person in the group surrounded we're children

High-end: Stop- Us!...Hero!

It was hard to tell because of the rain, but it appeared to be crying

The electric villain didn't give Deku the opportunity, he set off his quirk and before he knew it, Deku's body moved on its own

He used float and leaped into the air, grabbing the kids with Black whip and setting them down gently

Kid 1: I'm scared!

Kid 2: where's my mommy!?

The kids began to panic, and Deku wasn't sure how much longer he could stay up
