User:Young Mako/Sandbox/Crust vs. Nomu

Crust vs. Nomu is a battle fought between the Shield Hero: Crust and his team of heroes against several Nomu including one large High-End. Crust is actively trying to back up Mirko, who's fighting four High-Ends at once, but the opposing Nomu are trying to stop him.

Prologue
While the majority of the Hospital Raid Team's fighting strength is dedicated to fending off the Nomu, Mandalay's team manages to evacuate the hospital of civilians. Crust listens in to her radio message confirming this and thanks her for the update as he rushes through the morgue to try and catch up to Mirko.

While running through the hallway, Crust notices as he passes several rooms that act as storage chambers for the Nomu. He also surmises the Nomu have several other passages through the hospital other than through the morgue.

Battle
Crust's path is suddenly impeded by several Nomu attempting to stop him in his tracks. However, Crust knows he has little time and apologizes to the pitiable foot soldiers for having to defeat them. Crust arms himself using his Shield Quirk and manages to cut a path through the Nomu.

Crust reaches the out part of Doctor Garaki's Laboratory and calls out to Mirko. He's immediately confronted by one of the recently awakened High-End Nomu. The large Nomu uses a booster Quirk to rush Crust while claiming to know who Crust is despite forgetting his rank. Crust is surprised to see this Nomu can talk and responds that the Nomu is correct.

The High-End forces Crust back into the corridor, where it clogs the entire path with its massive size. Other heroes including X-Less catch up to Crust, where he's trying to hold back the massive Nomu with his shields. He notices the heroes behind him and requests their help in reaching Mirko as quickly as possible. Crust quickly goes on the offensive and creates two shields larger than his own body that stab into the Nomu.

The High-End's face is slashed by the shields, but by biting down fiercely with its mouth, part of that shield shatters. It claims Crust's attack isn't good enough and the No 6 Hero actually feels sorry for his opponent.

Despite fighting altogether, Crust and his team are unable to get past the large High-End. It continues to spawn mouths and fight the heroes back despite all four of them using their Quirks on the monster in succession.

Aftermath
After getting past a swarm of Nomu, Endeavor finds the corridor where Crust is fighting and asks what's taking so long. Crust reveals his team is having trouble with the High-End's Super Regeneration. Reinforcements in the form of Eraser Head arrive and he steps up to nullify the High-End's regeneration Quirk. This allows Endeavor to blast it through the wall of the laboratory. Crust and the rest of the heroes immediately jump into battle against all five of the High-Ends.
