Arc 2: Feral Alphas
Six days had passed since the incident. And something was happening.
Eijiro felt absolutely terrible when he woke up. He felt like he had a fever. Was that a rut coming up? That couldn’t be … He struggled to get out of bed. He put on a pair of sweatpants, no shirt, no socks, not even his crocs. He grabbed a towel and headed down to the showers, scratching his neck where the bite mark was. He almost couldn’t keep his eyes open.
He somehow made it to the showers; he pulled down his pants, and with no care in the world that they were still on the ground, he walked into the shower. It didn’t even bother him that the water was ice cold. He closed his eyes and let the water run over his body.
Eijiro didn’t have the strength to wash himself properly. His arms felt so tired … he shook his head and turned off the water. Damn, he wanted to sleep again. Was he getting sick now? He picked up the towel and scrubbed over his body a bit, but all strength left him, so he just threw the towel away and, still half wet, put the pants on. His hair was still dripping wet, and water droplets made their way down his body, but he didn’t care.
He zombie-walked out of the bathrooms. He sniffed; some of the betas were down here, also one alpha and two omegas …
He walked to the common room. Katsuki and Tsuyu were down here. Denki, Mashirao, Hanta and Mineta were also here. He moved towards Katsuki.
Tsuyu noticed him first. “Oh, Kirishima, is everything okay, ribbit?”
Katsuki turned around, and his look turned concerned when he spotted Eijiro. “Hey, you don’t look so good …” the omega started.
Omega … his omega … he could smell him, and he smelled like him … Eijiro moved quicker towards Katsuki.
“Oi, something’s not right,” Denki said.
“Yeah, should I get Aizawa?” Sero asked.
“Yes, I think this is a good idea,” Denki replied. He tensed up. Sero pulled out his phone and dialed Aizawa.
Kirishima was in front of Katsuki now; he moved closer and cornered Katsuki between himself and the kitchen counter. He released a very strong cedar-moss scent, but there was something different in it now, something spicier that Katsuki had never smelled before.
Eijiro growled and smelled at Katsuki’s neck. “My … omega,” growled the redhead. He breathed heavily, pulled the corners of his mouth back, and revealed his teeth. His tongue licked over his upper lip. The look in his crimson eyes was scary.
“Shit, something is happening! Get him off!” Katsuki heard Sero talking, but he was too focused on Eijiro.
He flinched as Eijiro moved forward, pressing his body against Katsuki’s, grinding into him. He growled and suddenly smashed his lips against Katsuki’s. The blonde was shocked and gasped for air.
The others were equally astounded. Did Eijiro just do that? Tsuyu backed up because the scent of her alpha classmate scared her; she held onto Mashirao’s arm.
Katsuki tried to struggle free, but Eijiro was stronger. He deepened the kiss, and as Katsuki opened his mouth, he forced his tongue in. Eijiro’s sharp teeth dug into Katsuki’s tongue, and he could feel some cuts on it and blood in his mouth.
And then it was over; someone ripped Eijiro away from him. It was Izuku! He growled aggressively, and Eijiro returned that with a growl of himself. “Get away from my omega!” Izuku roared.
“He’s mine!” Eijiro’s scent got even worse. Deku was also pissed off. He activated Full Cowl and jumped onto Eijiro. The redhead hardened himself, grabbed Izuku by the arm, and almost crushed it. They both roared. It sounded like two beasts of the wild.
Still shocked, Katsuki stared at the two alphas. Denki pulled him back behind the counter. The electric user knew that this wasn’t a good situation for any omega.
A loud scream came from the elevators, and the girls ran out. A raging Shinso followed them. “Help! He turned crazy in the elevator!” Ochako screamed. Momo and Kyoka were behind her.
“Shit!” Mashirao moved forward and attacked Shinso with his tail. But the alpha blocked him with one hand as if it was nothing. Since when was Shinso this strong?
“Fucking Ape! Stay down!” Shinso growled. Mashirao shivered at his alpha authority. Of course, he couldn’t be commanded like an omega, but it was still so scary.
He staggered a few steps back. Shinso stared down at Ojiro, and his eyes were feral. He bared his teeth at the beta and pushed him back. He then looked over to the other two alphas. He also growled. But then he turned back to the omegas. “Omegas …” he moved towards them now. Denki and Hanta stood in front of the girls and Katsuki.
“You, stay back!” He used alpha authority. Both Sero and Kaminari got goosebumps, but they stood their ground.
“G-Get away from them!” Kaminari stuttered.
Shinso screamed as a spike of ice hit his back. “You’re not getting the omegas,” Todoroki snarled. He released ice from his hand. “They are mine!”
Todoroki pushed Shinso down on the counter. He hovered over him, showing his teeth. His fingernails dug into Shinso’s arms.
“Run!” Kaminari told the omegas. They followed him and rounded the counter. But suddenly, Eijiro and Izuku stopped their fighting, and so did Todoroki and Shinso. Now the group of omegas and betas was surrounded by the three alphas and Shoto. “You’re not going,” Izuku growled.
Eijiro roared and started to harden again, and then he jumped. He tackled Katsuki to the ground. “MY OMEGA!” Katsuki yelped when his back hit the ground.
Kirishima was over him and pinned his hands down to the ground. The sharpness of his body slit Katsuki’s wrists and hands a little. Kirishima went into his Unbreakable mode, and Katsuki now looked into the crazy eyes of a feral alpha. He was scared when the sharp teeth of his friend came closer. Eijiro salivated heavily.
He tried to use his explosions, but they did nothing since he was in Unbreakable. “You’re MINE!”
“Stop it!” Eijiro yelped as Ochako touched him and made him float. Suddenly Iida was by his side, and he Recipro Burst Eijiro to the other side of the room. He then grabbed Katsuki by the wrist and pulled him up.
Iida also grabbed Ochako by the arm; he pulled both omegas closer and ran out of the building. “We need to bring all of you to safety” he had a serious look on his face. “They turned completely feral.”
“What? What do you mean?” Ochako asked.
“Have you not seen it? They got sharp canines and claws. More animal-like. This usually doesn’t happen in these days anymore. And their eyes glowed red. But no time; I need to get the others. You stay here, and wait for the teachers! Keep other omegas away from this building!”
With that, Tenya ran back to the house. Shoji had Toru and Mina in his arms and tried to shield them from Shinso when Tenya returned. Shinso was on all fours and moved like an animal. He growled and prepared to jump while Sero wanted to hold him back with his tape.
Tsuyu cried and held onto Denki’s arm. Jiro moved backward as Izuku approached her. She let out a scream and ducked as he crashed into the wall behind her; he was still in Full Cowl. “Jiro!” Tenya held out his hand for her.
Also crying, Jiro jumped into his arms; she shivered so much. Tenya brought her out of the house and to Ochako and Katsuki.
Rikido used his sugar rush to pummel down on Shoto, but he got almost completely frozen. Shoji dodged a jump from Eijiro, still in Unbreakable mode. He covered Toru and Mina as best as he could.
Tokoyami tried to fend off Izuku, who was now after Momo. He dodged Dark Shadow and crashed into Momo. She let out a scream of pain. Izuku had an iron grasp on her wrist, and he yanked her around. Saliva was flowing out of his mouth. Momo stared into his changed teeth; those were fangs! They reminded her of a dog or wolf. He was about to bite down on her, but Mashirao hit him with his tail. Izuku grabbed him and bit down on the flesh. Ojiro let out a groan of pain.
Tenya kicked Izuku in the head. He then grabbed Momo and Tsuyu and ran out with them. Only one more time. He needed to get Toru and Mina next. He ran back immediately. Where the hell were the teachers?
Koji had called for some birds. They were trying to keep the rampaging alphas busy, but many of them got hit by their big claws. They had highly long and sharp claws now. It was pretty dangerous.
Yuga shot his laser at Shinso, who still attacked Shoji with Mina and Toru. Denki also tried to keep him at bay. But Shinso didn’t care if he got electrocuted.
It was challenging to keep Todoroki at bay. He constantly used his fire and ice, and it was difficult to control him. In addition, Rikido’s left side was completely frozen.
Tenya charged at Shinso with his Recipro Extend, and he hit him in the head; this gave Shoji the opportunity to get past him. Fumikage was still trying to hold off Izuku.
But he was still faster with Full Cowl, and he got the jump on Shoji. He was now on the other alpha’s shoulder. Toru and Mina screamed, which brought the attention of the other feral alphas. They immediately changed course and were now attacking Shoji. “Shit!” he swore. He moved his body to shield the two omegas. He could feel Izuku’s claws ripping open his arm. “Give me the omegas!” he roared.
“Never!” Shoji exclaimed. Shinso tackled him in the side on which Mina was. The girl screamed even more. Rikido charged at the purple alpha even though he was half immobilized.
Tenya grabbed Izuku and ripped him off of Shoji. Denki tried to shock Shoto, but he got burned instead.
Yuga fired more lasers, but this seemed to make them only more agitated. Eijiro now targeted him, and he could only dodge by using his laser; it was a tight fit. If he were to be hit by Unbreakable Kirishima, then he would be done for.
Sero used his tape to slow down Kirishima, but this guy really did his name justice. He was unbreakable, and nothing could stop him now.
Koji used his birds to swarm the alphas and distract them. Tenya finally got a hold of Izuku and Shinso. “Run, Shoji! Bring them out!”
“Yes!” The door was now free, and he finally made it out!
Shoji made it out of the building. He ran as fast as he could with Toru and Mina to where the others were. Halfway through, he realized that Mineta clung to him. “You could have helped a little,” the alpha growled.
“Are you kidding me? They would have killed me!” the purple boy screeched.
Shoji didn’t have the time or nerves to discuss this. He arrived at the location of the other omegas and let Toru and Mina down. “I have to go back! You stay here and wait for the teachers!” With that, he left the omegas and stormed back to the building.
He saw Aizawa, Midnight, and Present Mic storming towards the building. “STOP!” he yelled to the teachers. “Mr. Aizawa, you shouldn’t go there!” Shoji advised.
“And why not?” Aizawa was not amused.
“Because they turned absolutely feral, and they tried to attack the other omegas!” Shoji’s eyes were wide.
Aizawa tsked and turned to Midnight and Mic. “You stop them, and I’ll go to the other omegas. I try to get Hound Dog, Ectoplasm, and Vlad.” He pulled his phone out. He needed the other alpha teachers.
“Sure thing!” With that, Shoji, Mic, and Midnight stormed to the building.
Inside was pure chaos. Shoji wasn’t even gone for two minutes, and the situation had changed entirely. The betas were cowering in fear, and even the other alphas seemed kinda scared.
Izuku stood above all of them. He let out a deep growl and approached Denki. The blond boy crawled back; he looked up at Izuku, tears in his eyes. “P-please stop!” he whimpered. What the hell happened here?
Tenya and Rikido were on their knees, and they were shivering. Shinso was cowering behind the tipped-over couch, and he seemed frightened too.
Shoto was somewhere in the kitchen area. He was crouching down and snarling, and he, too, was on all fours.
Eijiro was next to the door; he had released his hardening and hid behind a plant. He whined too.
Izuku knelt down and his eyes pierced Denki. He pressed Denki to the ground and pinned him down; he took both of Denki’s hands into one and kept them over his head. He showed his long, sharp fangs while he grinned maliciously, and Denki almost fainted from fear. Then, he grabbed Denki’s hair and pulled his head to the side. He was about to bite him!
“Stop right there!” Midnight commanded.
“YEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH!” Mic let out a scream. Izuku let go of Denki and covered his ears.
“STOP IT!” he snarled when the scream stopped. Midnight and Mic stared at him in absolute disbelief and shock. Did he just …
The door opened, and Vlad, Hound Dog, and Ectoplasm barged in. The alphas from Class B were with them, Jurota Shishida, Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu, and Juzo Honenuki.
Izuku seemed unimpressed. “Get them,” he commanded the others, and to their shock, they followed him. Eijiro hardened again. Shoto came out of the kitchen. He looked still wary, but he followed suit. Shinso got up, and it looked like his right arm was dislocated.
Even the non-feral alphas listened to Izuku and got up, but they followed him more out of fear. What was going on here? What had happened in these two minutes?
Eijiro roared and jumped, and he targeted Midnight. Tetsutetsu blocked him in his steel mode. “You’re not doing that!” He managed to throw Eijiro over his shoulder, and the feral alpha hit the ground, full force. Tetsutetsu pinned him down, but it took all his strength to hold him there.
Vlad King charged forward and attacked Izuku. He used his blood to pin him to the wall.
Hound Dog and Ectoplasm went in too, and they subdued Shinso and Todoroki, who luckily didn’t seem to want to fight them. They still growled and showed their teeth, but the teachers felt it was over.
“Fucking move!” Izuku screamed. The alphas growled.
“No …” Tenya snarled. He cowered again on the floor. “Please stop him!”
Midnight came forward, she ripped open a spot on her costume, and her sleep-inducing aroma seeped out. Vlad covered his mouth and nose when she came closer to him.
Izuku breathed it in, and after a few seconds, his eyes closed, and he sagged. She also walked over to the other feral alphas and put them to sleep.
Iida and Rikido relaxed when Izuku was unconscious. “This was scary …” the sugar hero mumbled.
Denki started crying and crawled away from Izuku and the other alphas. Hanta hugged him and tried to comfort him. “What happened here?” Vlad King wanted to know.
“Kirishima, Midoriya, Todoroki, and Shinso turned feral. They attacked the omegas, and we managed to get them out, but … then Izuku … he … he commanded us …” Tenya sounded terrified.
Vlad looked shocked between Tenya and Izuku. “Not possible …”
“But it is!” Denki whined.
Midnight knelt next to him and patted him on the head, trying to comfort him too. “We will talk about that later. Come now, stand up.” She helped the disturbed beta up to his feet.
Aizawa finally showed up; Mic had texted him that it was over. His eyes widened when he saw the destruction of the common room. He saw Denki crying, and the other betas seemed pretty disturbed too.
“We should bring them away from here. First, we need to lock them up until we find out what exactly happened. Then, we need to talk to the villain again,” he mumbled. “And for god’s sake, no omega goes near them.”
“Yes, we’ll bring them to the secured rooms of UA.” Vlad King grabbed Midoriya and threw him over his shoulder.
Aizawa looked toward Shinso; he was damn glad that they kept him with the A-Class. He couldn’t even imagine what could have happened if he had gone on a rampage in the C-Class dorms, where effectively no one knew how to fight. Besides, the C-Class had only two alphas, one of which was Hitoshi, and they had so many omegas …
The teachers brought the unconscious teenagers out of the room. After that, they send the rest of the students to Recovery Girl. Denki needed to be carried because his legs wouldn’t stop shaking.
They picked up the omegas on their way. “Hey, are all of you okay?” Tetsutetsu asked. Kendo was with the omegas, as well as Yui, Ibara, and Kinoko. They all tried to comfort the distraught students.
“I don’t know, ribbit …” Tsuyu cried while she held on to Ochako.
“It was pretty scary,” Toru added.
“I can imagine that,” Tetsutetsu replied. “Hey, come, we bring you all to Recovery Girl.”
“What happens to them now?” Katsuki asked.
“They will be locked away until they know what’s wrong with them,” Tetsutetsu explained. “They want to ask the captured villain how her quirk works. Before this is sorted out, no omega is allowed to go near them.”
Katsuki nodded. He still felt Eijiro’s lips ghosting over his. That was his first kiss … what a horrible experience …
The feral students were locked up in single cells and chained to the walls. It was necessary because once they regained consciousness, they would rampage again. And even in this locked-up state, they wouldn’t stop growling or howling.
Midnight was very surprised when she stood in front of Izuku. The boy was awake now and stared at her; his look was predatory. He wanted to hunt her down, even though she wasn’t an omega.
She moved closer and grabbed his jaw. She forcefully opened his mouth and inspected the fangs. Izuku snarled and tried to bite down. His eyes started to glow in an eerie green-red glow. His claws grew rapidly, and his fangs got even bigger. He couldn’t close his mouth at this point.
“My, you are a naughty boy. Under different circumstances, I would enjoy that, but this is quite serious.” She still licked over her upper lip.
It was nowadays unusual for alphas to get these animal traits. Alpha teeth were a bit sharper than normal human teeth, but they weren’t outright fangs! The exceptions were, of course, people who already had sharp teeth or fangs due to their quirk or other factors, like Kirishima. But Midoriya was an average human without animal traits, so this was very odd. Midnight knew from experience that extreme rage or aggressiveness could cause the fangs and claws to sharpen, but it was unexpected. And glowing eyes … she hadn’t heard of that before.
And it was also unusual that people would go on all fours – if not for a quirk again. So what exactly was this quirk of the captured omega? Her villain name was Savage, and it was suspected that she was the one that turned the alphas into feral beasts. But usually, it happened within minutes, not days. So what changed?
“Get these things off of me,” Midoriya growled. Midnight could feel the force behind this command, but she was strong enough to withstand it.
“So naughty … but no, you stay chained up.” She narrowed her eyes at him. She released her aroma and put Midoriya back to sleep. It was concerning.
All Might, Eraser Head, and Present Mic were with the police. They were sitting in front of Savage; the woman smiled at them. Her wolf-like features had retracted a bit. She now had a normal human face, even though her fangs were larger than the average human teeth. She was completely chained up, and she didn’t like it.
“So, Savage,” Aizawa started, “what does your quirk exactly do? Our records state that you can turn people feral within minutes. Why did it take so long for them to turn?”
“…” She just stared at them. “How can we bring them back to normal? How long will they stay this way?”
She smiled slightly and quirked her eyebrows a little up. She wouldn’t tell them anything.
“Mic …” Aizawa looked to his mate.
Hizashi sighed. He then focused on the woman in front of them. “Savage! Answer the questions!” He alpha commanded her. Savage shuddered.
“Yes, alpha! My quirk is turning people back to their primal state. We are all offspring of wolves, and my quirk can bring out the savage side of them. Some call it a different version of the rabies virus because it causes aggressiveness, fevers, and other symptoms of rabies, but that’s not it. It’s more like I let out their inner beast. I free it from the chains.”
“I can control when I want them to go nuts. Usually, my alpha wanted me to infect them extremely quickly so there would be panic, but those kids were already down. So I gave them a longer incubation time. I figured you would keep them in quarantine and away from the omegas, but I guess it wasn’t long enough …” she smiled sinisterly.
“You see, I awakened their primal state. Some people see that as an illness or a bad thing. But is it really? They will be stronger from now on … The primal state awakens unbelievable powers. You saw Lobo, my alpha, right? He was so incredibly strong because he used my quirk! Nothing will stop them if they learn how to control it.”
The three teachers were absolutely shocked. “So there is no way to get this virus out of their bodies?” All Might asked.
“It will become weaker if I am not there to bite them occasionally, but it will never go away fully. They, of course, can try to tame the beast that I unchained. But why would they want that? This is much more fun,” she giggled.
“They tried to hurt other omegas! This is not funny!” Shota growled.
“So? Is that my problem? I only care for my alpha” Savage’s look was cold.
“Can we somehow suppress their feral state?” Mic asked with alpha authority.
“You could take my blood and make suppressants out of it, I suppose. But you would have to milk me dry to get blood over and over and over again because there is no long-term solution.”
Damn this omega! This was not going how they wanted it. They really couldn’t help their students? What were they supposed to do now? They couldn’t let them go to the omegas until this was settled.
“Can they give the virus to someone else? For example, if one of them bites another alpha student?” Eraser Head asked.
“No, only I can give that power. Are we done now? I really want to see my alpha!”
“You ain’t gonna see him in a long time, girl,” Mic said aggressively. Savage pouted a little before she grinned again.
Extremely unsatisfied, the three teachers left. There was really nothing they could do. Only time and determination of their students would decide their fate.
