Work Text:
In 1899, the world changed as the first Maelstrom hit the Earth. Mystic Energies brought about a new age for humanity. Astral Gates have popped up all over the world, bringing back long dead spirits to roam the Earth once more. These gates are also rifts in space and time, which connects to the Outer Planes.
Fifty years later, another Maelstrom greeted the Earth once more. And in here in New York, the Ritual is in full swing. Two Factions, battle it out to summon their respective Patrons, and if one of them won, they'll grant them wishes, what ever the wish maybe, it is up to the man.
A lot of people spend their whole lives wondering who they really are. For Victor, this existential question is made more complicated as he woke up on a mortuary table with no knowledge of his creator, why he was made, and whom he is made of.
Learning to turn his pain into power, he Jumpstarts himself to get his adrenaline rushing and his faulty heart pumping! He welcomes any attacks you give him with open (albeit mismatched) arms, as he channels it into his Pain Battery to give his enemies a taste of the he endures. Don't get close to him, as you are at the risk of getting caught in his Aura of Suffering, as both of you will suffer , and when you think you've killed him, think again.
Here he is at New York, fighting for one of the Patrons, so that should he win and summon his Patron, he would finally get his answer to everything.
They just had thwarted the attack of the Sapphire Flame and now they are now chasing them in the hopes of killing them and turning the tides into their favor. To further their chances at victory, they went down to the sewers and fought the Massive Beast in order to get the Rejuvinator from it. They did so, and as it falls down to the ground, The Doorman appeared to try and steal it from them, but thankfully they were able to thwart it, thanks to Kelvin's Ice Dome.
Now, he is chasing The Doorman, he had been chasing him for a while now, and quite frankly very annoying to deal with. He keeps throwing his Call Bells at him and slowing him down, and when he gets closer he just pushes Victor away with his Luggage Cart, and if that's not annoying enough he can widen the gap by making a Doorway. But unfortunately for The Doorman, he couldn't shake Victor off.
"End of the line, Dooman." Victor pointed his nailgun at The Doorman
"So it seems, Victor." The Doorman was panting while struggling to aim him gun at him.
"You had a good run." Victor starts to run at him at a fast pace!
The Doorman however hasn't shown all of his tricks yet, "Al contrario, Victor. I still have more to run."
The Doorman had Unstoppable! He used it, just as Victor's Aura of Suffering barely touched him, then "Victor, why don't you take a rest and become our Guest at The Baroness?"
Victor, realized that The Doorman has more tricks up his sleeve and he was caught off gaurd by his counterattack, and in a blink of an eye, he got sent to a twisted version of The Baroness.
The void had company, in the form of Victor. As he looks at the Elevator that seemingly is the way of out here, then The Doorman spoke to him, "You weren't made for great purpose. You were made on a whim to satisfy some scientist's hubris!"
He ignored his taunt, and made his way towards the elevator. He got on but something was wrong. The elevator closed, the gears turned as if it wants to go somewhere else, the elevator began to shake violently! Victor could swear he could hear a wailing shriek, along with souls rapidly orbiting the elevator. Then the elevator went up to God knows where! As it is rapidly climbing up to wherever it wants to, the sheer force made Victor lay down on the floor, helpless and could only hope for the elevator to stop anytime soon...
Then it slowly but surely, slowed down as it nears its destination. It stopped, a ding signals the elevator had reached its destination. Victor is still sitting down to get his bearings, and for a short while he stood up, feeling a bit dazed but he can stand. The elevator opened, but not on Greenwich Lane, but rather inside a dark building. He stepped out of the elevator, the hallway was dim, but he could still see the way. He thought that The Doorman sent him in a building away from them, so he runs through the halls, and made his way down the ground floor, so that he could link up with the rest of the Amber Hand as soon as possible. Great thing he had filled his item slots, before the Sapphire Flame sieged their base, Fleetfoot is quite helpful on picking up the pace.
As he reached the ground floor, he noticed right away that something ain't right. It wasn't raining earlier, as the sun was setting along with the eclipse happening too. So now, why is it raining in New York all the sudden? Did Seven casted Storm Cloud so much that it suddenly rained? Possibly, but very unlikely that a very ambitious dead man still wearing his execution clothes could do that. But that's something he has to think about later, he has to find his way back to base. As he runs around the city the more and more this feels unfamiliar, he doesn't even recognize the street he is running on and the street signs are in some weird scribbles of something. He ran through this unfamiliar cityscape more and more, the rain had drenched his pants, but thankfully his metal parts sticking out of him aren't malfunctioning, he has to thank his creator for that.
He stopped at an alley under a little porch roof, "Okay, I don't think I'm in New York anymore..." he sat down near the doorway to catch his breath, as he had been running around aimlessly in this city for about ten minutes. And yet, he couldn't find any life there, no people, no rodents, or even birds! This is a strange ghost town that he got sent to, hell there aren't even ghosts here too. It's like it's been abandoned, but at the same time, it feels new. In a normal populated city, there'd be dirty alleys, sidewalks, walls. Some street lights should be faulty, the ones he had seen so far looked new and but all of it not even turned on. Whatever the purpose of this city is, eludes him. He can't quite wraparound his head to all of this. "Where the hell did that Doorman send me to?"
Then as if some higher being throw him a bone, he heard a laugh. Not a normal, it's a psychopatic laugh. Looks like there's signs of life here after all...so he once again got back up and followed the noise. As Victor got closer, he got to hear more people, good he taught, but he hears them talking but it isn't in English. Then he got close enough to see who are talking. It seems like there's a group of people who heavily armed with knives and swords, quite weird if you ask him, 'Where's the gun? At least one of them should have one.'
He got even more closer to see...! What the hell are those? He sees someone with a Bird Head, and another one that looks like a rock for a head, and from the looks of it they're just kids, and criminals are out for their blood, where ever the hell he was, he sure as shit knows that he's far from New York. And, "Damn, looks like these guys are going to hurt these kids." he whispered to himself.
Now he may not be a heroic guy, but he knows that in his heart, he must know where he came from, but if saving a couple of kids is a step towards the truth then so be it. He got out his Memento Mori and aimed it at the criminal about to slash a kid, he is stabilizing his aim, then bang! It went right through his skull. That got the rag tag of criminals startled to see one of theirs get shot in the head, and they turned around to get a good look at him, and the kids themselves saw someone get killed in front of them, wide eyes on both, and then looking at him.
Victory bravely walked up to them "Leave these kids alone. And if you don't, I'll make sure you wish you listened to me."
"What the fuck is that?"
"I don't know!"
"He looks foreign."
"No shit, he looks like he's been stitched together"
"Not to mention he talked in English, I don't understand him though"
"You think this freak is a Pro?"
"Would it matter? This guy just killed one of ours, therefore he ain't one of us!"
"KILL HIM!"
He can't understand what they're saying about, probably bad things about him, but one thing he could recognize is their intent. They've dug their own graves then.
Victor charged in and firing his weapon on them, some of the shots hit and some don't. Still, those who got hit got incapacitated or worse got shot in a fatal area, but their numbers thinned anyway. Some of them were able to get some good hits on Victor, but that's fine, they'll get a taste of his suffering, he used his Pain Battery and threw it to the ones in front of him, they're in pain, some of them were rolling to the pain the Victor is feeling all the time.
There's also his Aura of Suffering, he normally can contain it within him but if he gets attacked he struggles to keep it in inside of him. But why would he keep it at bay? Well, if he couldn't contain it any longer, he'd be forced to let it out, and it won't be nice for them or for Victor. Like right now, he's outnumbered he may have taken out some of the thugs, but a lot of them got good hits on him, bad for Victor, and worse for them. When he's not getting attacked, it would be easier for him to contain it, but now he has to let it out! 'I can't...CONTAIN IT!'
His posture became more slump and his expression is of that of a man who had let out years of pain he had been hiding for so long. He lets out his Aura of Suffering, a small radius around him form, with the mist of decay mixed in with electricity, at first the thugs never paid any attention to it, thinking they are killing him, oh how wrong they were.
"HA HA! He's about to die!" One of the thugs cheered, thinking their victory is neigh!
Until..."I'm going for the kill! RAAAAA- argh, AHHHH! My...body...it's..." he looks at his legs, to see it had been rotted, only to see, "He...lp me..." the decay reached his entire body and died, the other thugs near Victor met the same fate, as cries of agony haunted the streets, begging for someone to help them, some tried to run, but it was too late, their fates had been sealed, the moment they attacked him. Victor wasn't letting this opportunity to share his suffering to these thugs go, so he chased the fleeing enemies before him, and those who are caught in his vicinity, will die a very painful death. There aren't that many thugs, and might as well chase 'em away for good.
Tokoyami and Koda, taught they'll get killed after the warping villain had dispersed them from the rest of the class. As they got sent to the Downpour Zone, along with the rest of the League of Villains they called themselves. Then a strange man saved their lives, by taking away some of the members of this League that attacked them.
He had shot one of them in the head, shocking the both of them. They looked at the man, he had stitches all over his body, looking like has made by using human body parts, his right arm looked decomposed, has coils at his back, with strange symbols etched in some parts of him, and strange runes or symbols are plastered in some parts of his body.
The more Tokoyami taught about it, this man looked like Frankenstein's Monster, or rather it is Frankenstein's Monster and it happened to show up here and help them. "That man...has an aura of mysterious nature on to him, and his quirk is quite morbid to think about."
Koda just nervously nodded with his statement, "Yeah...but I think he's lost..." he whispered
"I think so too.." they both watch him fight the remaining villains in this area, he was merciless, yet it doesn't look like he takes pleasure in the killing. His quirk just left the villains crying in pain, while they literally wither away. It's quite disturbing to see these villain die a slow and painful death, "They don't deserve this kind of death...their bodies rotted from the inside...they all died horribly.."
Koda couldn't bear to look at their faces, he shielded his eyes from the sight of this one sided slaughterhouse.
Eventually some of the villains, remembered they existed, "Crap! These UA Brats are still here!"
"Kill them!"
Seeing the imminent danger, "Koda! Get ready to fight! Dark Shadow!"
"Yes!" Dark Shadow came out and ready to fight!
Victor is on a warpath, those who had chased him fell down one by one, either rotting away or if they're lucky, got shot and died fast. He counted at least twenty men had tried to kill him, and twenty men had made a slip, and towering above them was Victor still standing tall. He wished he could've been sent into a place that spoke English, but he was here, and he had killed a lot of people to save two kids. He didn't wish to end it this way but language barrier's a bitch. What's done is done, if he has to kill these guys and save the kids to find out his origins then he will.
Following the trail of rotting corpses to make his back to the street where he saw the kids, as he neared the street, he saw this, a Shadowy figure coming from the Bird Head, and the Rock Head fighting three thugs, and it looks like they're winning. He watched the shadow thing fight, it's quite a brawler, it just threw that guy three blocks away, he's impressed. Rock head dude, yeah he's not much of a fighter, but he won his fight so he'll give him credit for that. Last of the guy, just fled, no attempts to kill them he just straight up ran away. "Heh."
The kids heard him, as well as the shadow thing, "Fumi! There's one more! I'll get him!"
"Dark Shadow, stop! He saved us!"
Dark Shadow eh? Fitting and a simple name. And it called the Bird Head 'Fumi', guess that's his name. He approached the trio, and stop when he felt like he was too close, not to worry, he had already re-contained his Aura, but it's about making these kids comfortable, and he hopes they speak English, or even just understand him. "You must be Fumi.."
"Yes, Dark Shadow call my nickname." Thank God this guy can understand him, not sure about the speaking department, but he'll take it.
"This is Koda" he looked at the Rock Head kid named Koda, he's just avoiding eye contact "He's shy.."
"I see that."
"Who are you?" Fumi asked him
He pointed at himself, "Name's Victor, nice to meet you."
"Victor..." Fumi looked at him strangely, well he isn't the first one to look at him weirdly.
"Where's your parents?" He asked them
"At home...we are in school." Koda told him, and what? This is a school?
"This is a school?" They both nodded, he looked around the city, that was apparently a 'school', "Okay...so we are your teachers?"
"They're fighting, villains." Fumi said, "And we got teleport away from teacher, and got separated."
Now, villains huh? Interesting, that what they call criminals here? Whatever, "So where are they?"
"Entrance." Koda said
"Entrance? Where am I? I know you said this is a school but what is this place?"
"You are in USJ. Unforseen Simulation Joint. We are in Downpour Zone." Fumi said, and damn this must be a one big school to build this fake city, along with fake thunderstorms too.
Put that thought for aside, "Okay, I'll escort you guys to your teacher, just show me the way."
Victor wasn't expecting that they were on some kind of dome like Kelvin's but it's bigger, and not freezing. But what really shook him is what he saw as they stepped outside. If he taught that fake city was big, then boy was he wrong. This USJ building he was in, feels like it's as big Lake Mead, well not really, but it could be. "How big is the place?"
"Very big." A simple answer
"I can see that..." The three of them ran for the stairs, thankfully the Downpour Zone was right next to the stairs to the entrance. Though, that's a lot of stairs to go up to but it's fine. Halfway up to the entrance, and Koda slowed down, Victor offered him a piggyback ride, he was hesitant at first but Victor insisted, so accepted. They finaly arrived at the top, Victor set down Koda, and Fumi catches his breath, but Victor saw something at the distance, feels like a living mist is blocking the path to the entrance, and he can assume that the ones its blocking was their classmates also, and he can see some of them in weird outfits, then there's a walking marshmallow, apparently that's their teacher named Thirteen, fairly normal name and even weirder outfit.
Fumi pointed at the mist, "That's the villain that teleport us."
"That purple mist is alive and can teleport people?" Victor asked
"Yes. But when two of our classmates attack it, their attack went through." Fumi told Victor about the mist, and attacks go through it, probably if it was physical attacks. Victor thought for a moment...it might have a body inside that mist, that could be why it's spreading its mist all over him, but there's one way to find out.
"Forgot to ask. Shouldn't there be alarms or even guards to stop intruders?" Victor found that weird that there wasn't any kind of alarm going off right now.
"Villains have disabled alarms." Fumi answered his question
"Figures...Hey, I'll deal with the mist, you guys join up with your classmates."
"But he will see you, and try to teleport you." Koda places his concern for Victor
"Don't worry about me, I'll get a jump on him." the two looked like they were going to ask him how's he going to get a jump on him. But they didn't go through with it, choosing to trust him a little.
Great thing Victor bought Majestic Leap earlier, he just need a little bit of speed to build up the momentum further once he leaps. He ran at full speed then leap! On the way up, looks like the walking marshmallow is getting consumed by the mist, well time to make an entrance.
"Tell me Thirteen, how does it feel that your own quirk is being used against you?" Kurogiri taunted her, as he used the portals to turn her quirk against her, its beginning to eat away her costume, hell her skin is about to get spaghettified if someone doesn't step in! But that's okay Tenya Iida just got out of the USJ, the heroes will be arriving soon. Just-
A bullet whizzed passed her, and many more whizzed passed, and it looks like it was aimed at Kurogiri, she looks up to see someone crashing down while shooting Kurogiri, then it landed near them.
"I need you to stop eating Ms. Thirteen, evil mist." This...mysterious man saved her life and how'd he know her name? He spoke in English too is he from America?
"Hm? What are you? And more importantly who are you?" Kurogiri is just as confused and asking the same question in her head.
"Names Victor." Victor that's his name. Thirteen couldn't get a good look at him as she's about to faint, but Victor was rather tall, and with coils in his back and a nailgun on his right hand, "I was told by two of her students that you are responsible for this mess. I know you can't understand me, either way you're in for a bad time."
"You are mistaken, my master have taught me to learn and understand multiple languages, and be fluent." Kurogiri answered back in perfect English, "Now, what are you, Victor...it looks like you've been stitched together using body parts...and those coils on your back I think they're helping you to stay alive...yes, you're a Nomu, but not one of our Nomu obviously ...you have free will, and most certainly cannot be controlled...but the interesting question is, who created you Victor..."
"I don't know who made me, and I've been searching through hell and back to find out who made me, and if saving these people brings me one step closer to finding the truth then so be it." Victor charged in to meet Kurogiri head on, but Thirteen noticed he started slumping mid-charge, then something came out of his body, around him was a perimeter of green gas along with crackles of electricity whizzed around him. Then he shoots his gun on him.
"Hmph very well..." Kurogiri stood tall as his purple mist still covered a large area, Victor's shots went through the mist, "It is no use Victor, I am invincible, guns won't hurt me!"
"Yeah right." Victor stopped firing his gun and just ran straight ahead at Kurogiri
"What is that gas coming out of you?"
"Wanna know? I'll come share it to you!" Victor's gas clashed with Kurogiri's mist
"You fool Victor! Have I not told you that I am invincible?! Your gas won't work on m-" Kurogiri stopped before he could finish what he was saying, the mist around him is retracting, "What...is...this..." Kurogiri's pained voice paired with him getting off guard is incredible, Thirteen thought that this villain has invulnerable.
"What was that about being invincible again?" Victor is now the one taunting him
"Hrngggg...this isn't...over...Victor. NGHHHHRAAAH!" Kurogiri let out a huge mist and disappeared.
Several 1-A students came to aid her, as they were helping her some of them took a glance at Victor, staring where Kurogiri once stood and blocked their way.
"Thirteen-sensei, who's that?" Uraraka asked her
"I don't know..."
The evil mist vanished, he didn't even introduce himself, rude. Victor couldn't help to feel satisfied as he humbled the mist, turns out it was just projecting all of that mist to cover that fact that it had a body, now its facade was exposed and ran away. But he couldn't shake off what that mist said, he was like a Nomu? The hell is that? There were more people like him? No, he said he's not one of their Nomus and apparently they can control it. Whatever the hell this Nomu is, it's implied that him and a Nomu are similar. He finds that disturbing to think about.
He still kept staring at where the evil mist stood. His wounds healed up and contained it once more. He then is approached by one of Fumi's classmates, bringing out him out of his trance. The one that approached him is a human girl, brown hair, and with pink cheeks, pair that with a strange suit she's wearing.
"Victor...T-Thirteen-sensei would l-like to have a w-word with you..." she stuttered her words as she felt intimidated by his presence, he kind of got used to that, especially if a stranger just saw him, they're all quite like how this girl felt, intimidated and afraid of him.
"Okay." They both walked towards the class, apart from Fumi and Koda, he spotted a number of...interesting people with weird clothes as well, what the hell is with these people and their fashion choices? Getting back at that, apart from the humans he saw, there was this Ixian among them, her skin and hair was pink, with thin horns, and a pair black eyes with golden pupils.
As they got closer, he could hear them talk amongst themselves, yet still, he can't understand them.
"Dude...look at him, he's built like a truck! Like you Sato!" A slim boy with circle things in his elbows was talking to him classmate whose bulked up
"Yeah thanks but damn I bet he's even stronger than me even if I used my quirk!"
The slim boy then talked to Fumi and Koda, "That's the guy who saved you? Man he's cool! I don't know about those stitches though..."
"Yes, Victor saved us and now has saved Thirteen-sensei and you guys as well. I am glad." Fumi talked to the slim boy
"Oh that's his hero name? Victor?" Victor assumed he was their hero, still doesn't understand them but him saying 'hero' mid-sentence got him so good guesses, but even if it's not, quite nice of them to compliment him.
The Ixian started to bounce around getting strangely excited given their situation, "Oooooo! Victor eh?! What's his quirk!?"
"Well, to be honest, I don't know, but Victor could probably tell you, if you can understand English..."
"Gasp! He's from America?! What's a big guy like him doing here?!" He doesn't know why but the Ixian girl saying Amerca mid-sentence seemed kind of funny.
"That's what me and Koda have been asking ourselves, how'd he ended up here in Japan, more less so in the USJ."
The Victor and the girl, had reached Thirteen, and her marshmallow armor got consumed by the mist. He hopes her a speedy recovery.
"So...your name is Victor, yes?" Thirteen asked, and she can speak English properly, good.
"Yeah, I assume Fumi and Koda told you how I met them."
"That they did, and thank you...for saving them, even if you...killed some of the villains." she is breathing heavily, but doesn't looks like she'll die, she just needs to rest a bit.
"It was nothing, they're about to get hurt, so I stepped in."
She doesn't look too well, she's been pausing mid-sentence guess that evil mist might've reached her skin and consumed some of it, thankfully he's been keeping this Healing Rite for quite sometime, so he used it on her. She noticed it as well as the other kids. "What'd yo-"
She's about to get up but is stopped by Victor, "I'd sit still for now if I were you, that mist ate you up badly, so I assume there's more of your kids still out there right?"
"Yes..and there's also another teacher as well...but he went down and headed to the fountain...where most of the villains are situated."
"And he's all alone?"
"Yes."
Victor looked for the fountain. Didn't take that long to find it since the fountain is quite large. At the top he could see little figured fighting, and one figure was fighting back the other ones, that must be the other teacher. Whoever that guy is, he's one tough son of a gun, but as tough as he is, he's not going to hold on his own forever. Another thing he saw, was this big guy with a birds beak, black skin and an exposed brain. Victor took interest on it. He then went back to Thirteen. "Want me to help them out?"
"If you want to."
"Sure, why not. The elevator hasn't appeared yet, so might as well."
"Elevator?"
"Yeah, long story. I'll go to his aid now." Victor then went down the stairs and ran as fast as he could towards the fountain.
After Kurogiri's encounter with Victor, he had to go back to Shigaraki again as he's not in a good shape so to say. He felt his body, rotting away, any slight movement is painful, and worse he doesn't even know if one of them managed to get out ever since Victor butted in, but it's a safe bet one of them did...it's not a great news to being up.
He warped next to Shigaraki and the Nomu, both of them watching Eraserhead fight the low rate villains they hired for the League. "Have you dealt with Thirteen and the hero brats, Kurogiri?"
Kurogiri breathed in heavily, "No...cough...I was stopped..."
Shigaraki turned to him angrily grunting, "What do you mean you got stopped!? How'd you lose to those brats and Thirteen!? Shit, they probably got someone out of here now and All-Might isn't even here yet! We only got these extras for teachers, even if one of them is Eraserhead!"
"My apologies...Young Master...but the heroes wasn't the one who sto-" Kurogiri began to groan loudly, his mists are getting distorted as he was still in pain from Victor's quirk, Toxic Gas he assumed.
"What the- Kurogiri?! What the fuck happened to you?!"
"Victor...arrngg...did this to me...he let out a gas of some type, and...gasp...he got too close to my body...I think my flesh is rotting...it still...hurts!" Kurogiri is struggling to speak
"Who the hell is Victor!"
As if right on queue, screams from his peons are getting louder, he turned towards it, to see a tall pale man, with stitches on his body, metal stuff on his back, and green gas coming out of his body. "Kurogiri is that Victor?"
"Yes..."
"Why...does he look like he was made with dead body parts?! Like our Nomus!?"
"I have no...idea..."
"Great! There's a damned copycat of the doctor, and made their own Nomu!" Shigaraki was not pleased at the slightest
He faced the Nomu and shouted and pointed at Victor, "Nomu! Give me that copycat's head!"
The Nomu walked towards the slaughter.
"Kurogiri, do you still have the strength to get us out of here?"
"I can..."
"Rest up for a bit. I wanna watch him fight our Nomu, built to destroy All-Might...I want to see his blood and guts spatter across the pavement!"
Victor arrived at fountain, he saw the other teacher, he looked like Drifter but minus the muderous intent, not a vampire, and with a long hair, still he looks like a homeless guy. And more importantly he's about to get overwhelmed. He fired some shots in some of the criminals, to thin out the herd. It didn't take that long to get the criminal's' attention to him and away from the hobo teacher. He had caught those criminals off-guard, and some of them had weird powers, some girl used her hair as a gun, that barely damaged as he has bought Bullet Resilience before. Most of them got close and personal to him, and started roughhousing with them. Needless to say it didn't take that long for him to get his Aura unwillingly let it out, causing the same pandemonium at the Downpour Zone, screaming in pain as their flesh underwent necrosis, then struggling to stay away from him, then die. Then the last of the criminals had been dealt with by the hobo, who took the opportunity to defeat the criminals.
The hobo teacher was about to open his mouth, but Victor threw him to the side as the Black Skinned, Beaked creature is charging towards them! He took the charge but the creature tackled him trying to crush him, great thing this guy is pretty strong as he had immediately absorbed the squeeze and went straight to his Pain Battery, and used it! Causing the creature to let him go. It whimpered in pain, stumbling backwards.
Victor got sent rolling backwards, and layed flat at the floor, then he stood up not shortly after. If anything this creature here, actually packed more punch than the rest of the criminals, and he felt like if he was little bit late he'll get pressed flat. He can't even try to contain his Aura forcefully anymore, his already rotting body is too damaged to try and contain it. He could Jumpstart himself again and accelerate the healing. Actually, yeah he should do that. He did so, bu-
The creature just lunged at him! The damage he had healed is being damaged once more! At the same time, he's still Jumpstarting himself, repairing the old damage as well as the incoming damage. It really hurts, it feels like he's getting torn apart, while healing the damage as well. Worse yet, this creature is taking the Aura well, it's lasted longer than the other guys. Still he can feel he's getting through that skin, just a little longer and it's going to break soon.
He dodged the attacks from the creature while giving Victor all he's got to get try to land a good hit! His bullets might as well be made of paper because his gun ain't doing damage at all, his abilities can briefly stun the creature and sustain himself at the same time, should he get severely damaged to the point he gets torn apart, he'll comeback again and again. Right now, this is a War of Attrition, he needs to keep his Aura up until this creature crumble.
But letting his Aura open for an extended duration comes without a cost. This Aura if left contained for a long time, will do more harm to Victor, and do more damage to those around him. But if it gets to a point that no form healing Victor can do to contain it, he'll die.
But Victor knows that, and has bought the necessary items to keep himself alive while letting his Aura open for as long as he can. As the creature kept trying to violently pummel Victor, with Victor himself nearly getting hit, his Aura is still uncontained, slowly but surely eating away what ever resistance it has and with the Infuser he can heal a lot for every second the creature is exposed to his Aura. He can cite a chant to further improve the Infuser's Spirit Lifesteal, if so he chants it, he'll get healed for a more than the normal Infuser. Victor is keeping his distance from it, as he's far from him while keeping him in range for his Aura, this helps him to continually damage it and heal himself without the use of his Jumpstart.
The creature got a good debilitating hit on him! He was on the ground lying down, and unable to get up! His Aura has been out for a long time, and is eating away at Victor! The creature saw this and is going to deliver the killing blow! Somewhere he heard a maniacal laugh, he's sure that he is being laughed at. To that he answered Ethereal Shift! Victor entered in a void state, no harm can be done to him and can only harm the creature since his Aura isn't contained. The creature punched through Victor, and instead punched the concrete floor. The creature not understanding what is happening continues to punch Victor, but met with similar results. Victor went back to normal and just as the creature was about to hit him, he parried his attack stunning it, seizing this moment he charged up his punch and hits it hard twice!
Victor tried to move away but alas the creature was fast. It grabbed him by the leg and smashed his entire body to the concrete! Victor braces for death, as it would be the first of many 'deaths' of his, he looked at the legs of the creature, it was struggling to stand up, it was shaking, that put a little smile on his face, then darkness.
Shigaraki was in a hurricane of emotions watching thr fight between his Nomu and the cheap copy. But seeing his blood splattered all over brings him immense joy and satisfaction. Satisfied as this cheap copy, lost to his Nomu, and happiness that his Nomu is stronger than the pathetic copy. "I guess I was worried for nothing really. The doctor's Nomu is built to destroy All-Might! And that Victor is weak afterall!" He turned his sights away from Victor, and looked at the three students that got out of the water. It's time to celebrate a successful kill by killing three of the hero brats, "Kurogiri! Bring us to them. This calls for a celebration of death!"
Shigaraki laughed as if All-Might had been killed already. Kurogiri, felt a but fine as he rested, and "Yes, Young Maste-"
They began to hear faint whispers and a strong wind is all around them. Looking at the Nomu, they noticed something is wrong, the blood splatters, they're...removing itself from the floor! Those guts and dismembered body parts of Victor...it can't be! Victor..."THIS CHEAP COPY CAN REVIVE HIMSELF?!"
"I'm back!" Thanks to the Rejuvinator, he got revived and his whole body was rejuvenated into a pristine state, he's still has that corpse look though. It doesn't really matter, what matters is that he's Aura is getting through him, he just needs to pulverize it even more, even if takes dying twice.
Victor looked at the creature who is coming towards him, "My turn."
He lets out his Aura once more, shocking himself once more to speed himself up! They both are about to collideas they're going into a second round. The creature went for a heavy punch and Victor parried it! The creature is stunned once more, Victor seized the moment and went for its legs hitting it hard twice, the creature recovered but his posture is like that of an old man, it's about to give out, its resistances are giving up, he needs it to bleed!
Both of them are giving their all to come out on top. Puches have been exchanged, dodging each others attacks, but. Victor doesn't show any sign of slowing down, unlike the creatures its movements are becoming sluggish, the power behind its attacks are beginning to fade, the creature made one last punch, with Victor parrying it once more. As always, it got stunned, and Victor delivered the last blows to its legs.
The legs finally got wounded, and with a nasty open wound as well. It didn't take long for his Aura to seep in from inside its flesh, the creature was flailing around its limbs, its scream echoed through the dome, it was desperately trying to still kill Victor, and it couldn't anymore as the creature started to rot, its legs was first then it's seeping throughout his upper body, rattling in pain! Then it stopped, it lied still motionless, seemingly accepting its failed its mission. Victor looked at the creature, he contained his Aura seeing it'll likely die sometime now, "I'll admit, you're the biggest piece of work I had to go through since I got here. And I can't even call you anything other than creature."
Then a familiar purple mist appeared before him. "That's...a Nomu...Victor..."
"Evil Mist! Yo-" suddenly he felt that his whole body painfully disintegrating, agonizing pain littered through his body, and once more nothing.
"Come back from that, Victor." He had enough of this Victor, who just beaten their supposedly strong Nomu, the one actually capable of taking out All-Might.
Even with him dusting Victor out of the picture, Shigaraki is furious, he's so angry that he repeatedly stomped at Victor's 'remains' " ITFROM?!" His
temper tantrum lasted for about a couple minutes before he cooled down.
"Young Master, I believe...we should take our leave...we have lost the Nomu..." Kurogiri urges Shigaraki to cut their losses.
"If you weren't my way out, I would have dust you right now for being humiliated by this cheap copy!"
Then the winds blew violently, along with it came green streaks of lightning, and a familiar green mist. Looks like turning him to dust doesn't cut it at all. "What the fuck!? I turned him to dust! How's he still reviving himself?!" the 'remains' of Victor are clumping up together. His body body is getting rebuilt grain by grain, and at a fast pace as well. He could see his bottom half rebuilding itself.
Panic flowed through Shigaraki. He is getting desperate as he tried using his quirk again to dust him again, but it all eluded him. But it will be for nothing as if dusting him still revive himself, then they're fighting an unwinnable battle, may as well cut their losses. "KUROGIRI GET US OUT OF HERE NOW! ARGH!" an excruciating pain suddenly came up on his right hand, the one he used to touch Victor.
Before Shigaraki commanded him, Kurogiri has already engulfed them in mist and teleported away.
Victor is reborn once more, he had to admit, getting dusted was excruciatingly painful. It's like being split apart not only that it's like he's being split apart down to the molecular level. He is quite surprised that even getting dusted, he can still come back from the grave, on this time he came back from the urn of his ashes. "I guess turning into ashes doesn't kill me."
Now if he can piece back what he remembered before getting killed. He just had defeated the creature, they called it a Nomu...and the evil mist mentioned the Nomu in their first encounter, it doesn't look like it was made from corpses, he finds the exposed brain and beak. Weird, did they find a big bird to put in there? Whatever, he just killed it, he could look at it himself. Going towards its corpse, he saw, only an intact head...yeah well beggars can't be chosers, at least it's only a head, might as well take it home with him, this could help him solve his own past, maybe consulting the professor or the detective with this.
He hanged the head of the Nomu on his hip, dangling every time he moves. Then he heard a familiar clicking, a door clicking, one that came from The Doorman, he looked at his right to see a familiar elevator door that leads to nowhere. At last he can return back to the battlefield! With a souvenir as well. He wasted no time and ran to the elevator door. He went in and the doors have begun to close, just before it fully closed he faintly heard a loud crash and a yell "I AM HERE!", then the doors closed and seemingly went down.
After some time he got down and a click. He opened his eyes, to see that he's back at New York and looking at the ground, he saw The Doorman, dead.
"Hey, Victor!" Bebop greeted him, "Glad I came at the right time, hooked that doorman and blew him up before he could escape."
"Yeah, thanks for the help Bebop."
"No worries mate." Bebop noticed a severed head on Victor's hip, "Whatcha' got there on yer hip? A severed head?!"
"Yeah long story, but to make it short, I took a detour and got a souvenir."
"Well, if that's whatcha' say mate, let's summon the Patron!"
"You got it." And so they continue to fight to summon their Patron.
