CHAPTER START---
"Oh, you've got to be kidding me..." Horizon mutters, the image of a city on fire reflected on his visor.
Flying above everything on his hoverboard he sees dozens of pale green or blue Nomus running rampant, attacking anyone they can find and already engaged with a few Pro Heroes.
He could also see a few news helicopters and drones flying about.
At the epicenter of the attack is a massive skyscraper, 200m -650ft- tall, the upper fifty stories currently tilting over as it threatens to flatten the surrounding buildings, the bottom ten floors already an inferno burning away at the supports.
ROOM
Horizon creates a ROOM 2km wide, as always with him in the middle, still hovering high above the city.
"Shambles," he swaps out Nomu by the pairs for rumble close to the epicenter of the attack.
Second by second he pulls them away from scared and panicking fleeing civilians and brings them back to the middle of the battlefield.
"Now I need to get people out of here," he draws his sword and turns his board, facing away from the hoard of Nomu that the Pro Heroes were currently trying and failing to take down.
"There, a deserted area," Horizon points the tip of his blade at a faraway building, located at a massive intersection that was already empty. "Amputate!" he casually swings out, slashing one of the ten-story buildings diagonally.
The building is immediately slashed, and the weight is enough to make it slide down to the streets below and shatter.
"That's enough rubble, now I can get these people out of here," he holds his sword to the side and focuses. "Find all the people close to the danger, then...Shambles, shambles, shambles, shambles..." dozens of times he repeats.
He's absolutely sure to narrate, because his visor was recording, and he wants everyone to know exactly how capable he is.
As he's almost finished evacuating the unfortunate people that got stuck on the battlefield Horizon feels a sudden annoyance behind him, "seriously..." he looks down and sees a flying pale blue Nomu with bird wings ascending toward him.
Looking past it he sees groups of up to ten Pro Heroes unable to even take down one Nomu at a time, thankfully more were arriving by the second.
"They can't even stall these things for me to warp the civilians out of here...Shambles," he swaps places with the Nomu in mid-air as it swings at him with massive talons.
Suddenly appearing behind it he turns in place and slashes its back, "Incision," he smoothly cleaves through the wings and bisects the Nomu, leaving it to fall to the streets below in two dead pieces.
"Ok, back to work," he shrugs off the minor annoyance, and returns his focus to warping everyone away.
Less than a minute later all the civilians are safely at the edge of the battlefield, and Horizon finally gets to turn his attention to the Nomu below.
BOOM!
The lower section of the leaning skyscraper suddenly explodes a gas line meets the flames.
Horizon now finds himself looking up as the building begins falling directly toward him.
"Yeah, of course that would happen..." he says in an annoyed voice.
Then closes his ROOM and flies toward the exact middle of the building.
Putting his sword away he extends both hands forward as if he could catch the building with them.
ROOM!
1km wide with him in the middle, his ROOM forms.
"Takt!" he makes a physical pushing motion with his hands, because he needs absolute focus on this.
Suddenly he's feeling his mind strain to stop the falling momentum of the entire building.
His room shrinks to 900 meters.
Then 800.
Then 600.
But this was the natural response on a bloody battlefield, filled with destruction and corpses from both sides.
"Do we have a plan?!" The man asks, and Horizon just sighs.
"If they take me out that building falls, then the subway below us collapses, a lot of gas lines go boom and this city starts burning...even more.
They clearly know that so just keep using me as bait, I've already evacuated most of the people from inside buildings, focus on the fight," Horizon says, "just stay close to me, and we'll win."
The man's expression shifts from fear, to one of relief, then confidence, "right...right!"
Horizon nods and walks back into the fight...
After just another two minutes of fighting, with Horizon being one of the few people present who can handle the Nomu with physical Quirks, he's already on his last leg.
To the news drones above he still appeared strong and confident, but the people present could feel it, he was slowing down, even more, they now had to stall the Nomu for much longer before he moved on to the next.
BOOM!
A nearby building outside his ROOM explodes into rubble as a handful of corpses, formerly Pro Heroes enter his room and splatter across the floor.
And a second later, Brainless, the USJ Nomu itself appears on the battlefield.
'I really don't have the energy to deal with this thing right now...and this room is too small to play cat and mouse...'
Horizon subtly gives a command to his visor which calls his hoverboard back to him.
Most of the volume of this ROOM was in mid-air, with only the very edge of it being at ground level since it was made at the middle of the building in the air, leaving that as the epicenter.
"Blind him," he orders the nearby Pro Heroes, and they obey like the sheep they are. Immediately throwing any attacks or devices they have at the USJ Nomu, causing it to freeze as its sense of sight was gone.
In these few seconds Horizon hops on his hoverboard and takes to the sky, 'all I have to do is stay in this ROOM so it doesn't close, this building falls and the chain reaction of gas lines and the collapsed subway tunnels below us will cause a lot more damage than these useless fucks dying...'
As the smoke and dust clears, the USJ Nomu is still standing there, then it immediately looks up and locks onto Horizon.
The Nomu immediately jumps, cratering the road at its feet and knocking all the nearby Pros and Nomu away by the sheer shockwave caused by the explosive burst of energy.
Seeing it coming Horizon stands confidently on his overboard, arms folded across his chest as it rockets toward him.
And almost at the very last moment...
"FLASHFIRE FIST!---" Endeavor slams into the side of the Nomu like a fiery meteor, the sheer heat from his presence causes Horizon to instinctively fly away from him as he carries it off to the side, out from under the building.
Horizon felt his skin begin to sear and pop, even beneath all the measures to deal with standard environmental heat and cold, standing beside a worked-up Burnin was a mild annoyance. But being within 15 meters of a worked-up Endeavor nearly made his blood begin boiling.
Endeavor takes Nomu just far enough away, then spins and throws him directly up into the air. All the while Nomu never once takes its eyes off Horizon, who was still standing on his hoverboard in the same pose, trying not to give the impression that his skin felt like it was in a microwave.
As Nomu begins falling back down, all the flames around Endeavor that aren't on his feet to keep him airborne gather into this right hand, and he punches directly up at the Nomu.
"---JET BURN!" A pillar of intense orange flames fires out of his fist, completely engulfing the Nomu.
Looking up Endeavor sees Nomu still falling toward him, super-regeneration fighting against the inferno, in only a few seconds it would be clawing at his face.
'This is that monster that attacked UA...built to kill All Might, a perfect counter to Power Types. Too strong for me to physically match, I can't let it get to the floor where it has leverage...but I've got the most firepower of all flame users. I am its ultimate counter...'
He grits his teeth and raises his temperature, even more, feeling his arm begin to burn and his skin starts drying out, a hint of fever begins creeping across him as his bodily functions begin to deteriorate as he starts overheating.
"They tried to kill All Might...with something this weak!" The entire attack becomes a bright blue flame for barely a second, completely incineration the Nomu, leaving only charred carbonized husk to fall to the street below.
Endeavor turns around to see Horizon hovering a few dozen meters away, then glances down at his Flaming Sidekicks already dealing with the Nomu below, arriving seconds after him since they were much closer when this attack happened.
Compared to them, he was twice as far away, he had to fly all the way from his agency after the police called him.
Hovering over to Horizon he looks up at the floating building, but puts the sense of wonder to the back of his mind and focuses. "Will you be alright to keep this thing up while we deal with them?"
"Yeah, I can do this all day...but still, make it quick..."
Endeavor immediately cuts off the flames on his feet and drops down, catching himself closer to the ground and joining the fight, which would now be over soon thanks to his involvement.
Horizon sighs in relief, "finally some backup arrives..."
