MHA/BNHA react to For The Want of A Nail by Clouds part 2

Awase: Isn't this a repeat-

Jana: Yes and it doesn't matter that much!

Izuku still wasn't allowed to carry live ammo, considering that he was still a student, so he would have to make due with his rubber bullets, but if he truly wanted to stop Stain, then he couldn't afford to pull any punches. He aimed for center mass and fired five times in quick succession, trying to hit the same place each time to maximize damage. It wasn't nice, but it worked. Stain grunted and stopped in his tracks before looking up at Izuku with fanatic hatred in his eyes. When he began advancing again, it was toward Izuku rather than Endeavor.

Inko: Izuku!

"Todoroki, make sure Native is covered with an ice wall." Nezu said calmly. "You and Iida have my permission to use your quirks to protect him and one another, but do not put yourselves in any more danger than necessary."

Todoroki didn't waste any time creating a dome of ice, and Iida's face shone with determination. Izuku's mind raced with strategies as Stain finally stepped out of the alley. Four on one was much better odds than they'd had the whole fight, and the wider space of the street would make it much easier for both Iida and Todoroki to use their quirks. There were more buildings to worry about here, not to mention the people inside, but no one here had very destructive quirks, with the exception of Endeavor and Todoroki. Todoroki was always careful to avoid as much damage as he could, and Endeavor...

Endeavor(scowling): Still paralyzed.

"Todoroki, what's Endeavor's blood type?"

"AB." Todoroki replied.

Midoriya(mumbling): Recovery time between Iida and... and Native's... (everyone winced as they remembered his death in the last chapter)

"Okay, his recovery time will probably be between Iida's and Native's then." Izuku muttered. "Nezu can't be affected by Stain's quirk and we don't know how it affects me yet, but I'm out of bullets, so... okay, Nezu and I will focus on close range, Todoroki will cover us, and Iida will focus on hit and run tactics. Sound good?"

Mirko: Good enough for now.

Hawks: I just hope they get back up soon.

There was a round of nods and Nezu looked almost proud beneath his determination, so Izuku thought he'd done a pretty good job. Iida moved first, picking up speed and taking a page out of Izuku's book as he aimed a kick at Stain's weapon, trying to knock the katana out of his hand. He wasn't quite fast enough, but he managed to dodge when Stain swiped at him and Nezu took advantage of Stain's distraction to bite Stain's uninjured leg.

Meanwhile, Izuku had holstered his gun and was gripping his knives as though his life depended on them. Todoroki was busy creating thin layers of black ice wherever Stain stepped and it was only the spikes on his shoes that kept him from slipping. Iida was going for another pass, so Izuku needed to take advantage of that. He waited until Stain's eyes were on Iida's leg before he ran forward and stabbed him in the shoulder.

(a lot of people flinched. The green bean stabbing someone wasn't a sight they were used to)

Stain grunted and headbutted Izuku before he could retreat. Izuku sniffed as he felt warm liquid running down his chin and he scrambled back before Stain could get the blood. Of all the times to get a bloody nose!

Toga: Ooh pretty!

Stain was starting to change the way he fought, ignoring his own injuries with a tinge of desperation as his goal changed from getting out of the fight to taking down as many heroes as he could before the fight was over. Nezu was forced to let go as Stain tried to cut off his head with a sword and Iida had a knife stuck deep in the muscle of one of his legs. The hero killer had taken advantage of the brief reprieve to attack Todoroki with a barrage of throwing knives, most of which had gotten caught in an ice wall, but one of which had buried itself in his right arm.
