Break Through My Shell (Shouto Todoroki x Reader)

Chapter 9

"Welcome," the hero you recognized as Thirteen said.

"It's the Space Hero: Thirteen!" Midoriya seemed to be a fanboy; he knew the names of all the pro heroes we met so far.

"As you can see, this dome is a training center. I built it myself, and it's called the USJ, the Unforeseen Simulation Joint. You are free to use it as you wish. It has different zones you can use to train, like a landslide zone, a fire zone, and several more," Thirteen explained.

"Is All Might going to be here today?" Midoriya questioned, a hopeful expression on his face.

"He had some work to do, so he won't be here at the moment," Aizawa said. Midoriya looked slightly down at the fact.

"Before we begin, I have one thing to say... or two... or three..." Thirteen would've probably kept on increasing the number, but thankfully didn't. "As I'm sure you're all aware of, my quirk is Black Hole. This means anything I suck up will be turned into dust."

"That makes your power great for rescuing civilians from debris!"

Midoriya being a fanboy again...

"That is correct. But it can also be used as a power to kill. Your quirks exist for you to help people, not harm them."

"I have a question," you said, raising your hand. "What's that?"

Your finger was aimed at a purple form that was materializing near your group. Humanoid figures were appearing from it.

"GET BACK!!!" Aizawa shouted. "THOSE ARE VILLAINS!!!" He tugged at his scarf of bandages and pulled on his goggles.

Your eyes widened and your blood started to boil.

You hated villains with everything you had and then some. Villains were the ones who killed your parents.

"What?!?" You whipped your head to see most of your fellow classmates being trapped within the large purple form that allowed the villains to invade.

"It must be one of their quirks," you breathed. Soon, you found yourself being swept up too, and then you found yourself in a different area.

"Looks like we're in the landslide zone," you heard from behind you. It was Shouto, who appeared to have been warped with you.

"And they sent villains after us." You Watched as a large group of villains started to run towards you, some activating their quirks. "Make an ice wall around you; I'll handle them myself."

"Right."

You took a deep breath, clenching and unclenching your fists. "I hate them...so much."

You flew up and landed in the middle, startling some of them and making them pause their attack.

There was a dark look on your face as a dark aura surrounded you, proof of your bloodlust against the villains.

You raised your hands, making a gun shape with your index finger and thumb.

"I won't be able to hold back against you, so you can surrender now if you don't want to die," you said lowly. They started laughing at you.

"Little girl think she can scare us? What a joke," one of them chortled.

You raised your finger in at them and made a shooting motion. A burst of energy exploded from your finger like a bullet and shot straight through the man.

"You bitch!" He touched the place the energy bullet entered, and after seeing blood on his fingers, had an enraged expression.

"Kill her."

As the villains attempted to attack you, you would keep shooting them, leaping up into the air to dodge their attacks. You kept gunning them down until you decided your attacks were taking too long and you needed to speed things up a bit.

Waves of explosions emanated from you, villains screaming as their bodies succumbed to the darkness known as death.

"Wait, (Name)!"

You broke from your death-inducing stupor to find Shouto running towards you. Ice formed from his right foot, encasing the remaining villains that were alive and still moving.

"We need to interrogate them about their plans," he explained.

"Tell me what you guys are up to," you demanded, pointing your finger at the nearest guy. He quaked in fear, not wanting to be killed.

"I'll tell you! Just please don't kill me!" he shrieked. He proceeded to explain the bulk of their plans, like how they invaded to kill All Might, the symbol of peace.

"Let's go." You started to walk away from them, Shouto following you and ignoring the carnage you left behind.

———

"No..." The sight that beheld you when you arrived at the main area was horrible. There was a large beast with large eyes and half its brain sticking out hovering over Aizawa. Your teacher looked broken, his goggles smashed, the skin on his elbow disintegrated, and his other arm broken.

"Noumu! Kill him," a man with hands wrapped around his limbs ordered. The monster raised its enormous fist before sending it towards the broken body of your friend and sensei.

"YOU WON'T KILL HIM," you screamed, running towards them and lifting your hands at the Noumu. It froze, not being able to move anymore.

"What?!?" The hand man sounded shocked and angry at what you were doing, and he stormed over to you. Aizawa lifted his head barely and whispered something to you.

"He'll disintegrate you if his five fingers touch you."

The Noumu was struggling against your power, and it was getting difficult to contain. You didn't believe you could hold off the Noumu and not get killed by the man at the same time.

Midoriya was there to save you. His foot was extended in a kick in an attempt to distract the villain who was now only a few meters away from you. He missed, and the man's hand was raised towards Midoriya's face.

"You won't hurt him!" You flicked your hand and sent a wave of energy towards him, pushing him back and making him stumble.

However, this was enough time for your hold on the Noumu to break, for it to get to you, and for it to give you a crushing blow to the chest. The sounds of bones breaking came from your chest, and you coughed out blood.

"(Last Name)!" Midoriya and Shouto, who raced towards you, faced the Noumu angrily.

"You won't hurt her." Shouto's tone radiated coldness and rage.

The two of them fought to attack it, jumping away from its attacks and sending their own back at it.

They were fighting to protect you.
