"Already did!!" Kuromiya replied as she entered the codes once again.

"Your Fault."
"I'm having a feeling that this will be dark." Tokoyami said.
"Probably." Amajiki and Kuromiya agreed with him.
"Can you Dark-o-meters detect darkness from anywhere, really?" Hatsume asked. The other three shrugged in response.
- City Block. Everyone was having a normal weekend or better everyone could have a normal weekend if it wasn't for last night's breaking news: The Weakened Symbol of Peace Taken.
"The hell is that supposed to mean?!!!?" Kirishima yelled.
"And if it says weakened..." Uraraka said in a low voice.
"Oh no! This isn't good!!!" Sero exclaimed in worry.
"WHO IS THAT FUCKING SORRY LOW LIFE THAT DARED TO TAKE A WEAK OLD MAN?!?! THAT LITTLE FUCK HAS A FUCKIN' DEATH WISH!!!!" Bakugou yelled in extreme anger as explosions emitted from his palms.
"C-calm down, Young Bakugou. Everything will be alright." All Might said, clearly flustered by his students' concern for him.
The news last night described the fact that All Might was kidnapped from his residence in the afternoon after coming from a tiring day at UA. But no one noticed his lack of presence until one of his friends, Naomasa Tsukauchi, came to a visit at night. Tsukauchi himself is investigating the case of the missing Symbol of Peace.
"Who? Just who can? Name the guy, I'll make sure he pays!!" Togata exclaimed.
"Don't you worry about this, Young Togata. I'm pretty sure Tsukauchi can handle it." All Might said, sweat-dropping.
Naomasa Tsukauchi is also seen in the area standing with Bakugou. Apparently, Bakugou was the last person who talked to All Might. Tsukauchi thought it would be best to ask him before he can jump to a conclusion.
"And here I thought that it would be Midoriya." Recovery Girl said.
"Well, it can't always be him. Right?" All Might laughed it off.
"It has to be. After all he is your secret love child." Todoroki thought looking at the green haired boy who was strapped into the chair.
Tsukauchi and Bakugou were having a normal interrogation session, like Did All Might mentioned something? Or was he acting differently? Or anything else that seemed odd? But the answer came same overall.
"No. I don't think he knew anything himself." Bakugou said calmly.
"Is that Bakugou...not yelling?!" Kaminari asked.
"SHUT UP, DUNCE FACE!!"
"Besides. I doubt anyone wouldn't be acting like that in this sorta situation, ribbit." Asui said earning nods in reply.
"Well, it just makes the situation worse..." Tsukauchi sighed. Bakugou looked down at his shoes. Tsukauchi saw this and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. Bakugou looked up at him and saw him smiling.
"Don't blame yourself. We'll find him. I promise." Tsukauchi said. Bakugou could only nod his head in reply.
"Can you imagine how hard it would be for the rest of us if only Bakugou is taking it like that?" Ojiro asked.
"I, so, don't want to." Jiro replied. While all the teachers were wishing for All Might's safety.
Suddenly, the large LCD screen on one of the buildings turned on. Showing All Might, with a bandaged head and a few scars and bruises, tied to a chair.
"Okay. This guy got guts! Now he is teasing us!" Kirishima exclaimed.
"Not manly!!!" Tetsutetsu exclaimed with him.
The rest of the audience was also not happy about this. First you have the guts to kidnap their beloved Symbol of Peace and then show him on screen, all tied up? Nonsense! Hagakure, after seeing All Might's condition, hid her face into Ojiro's tail. While the other boy blushed. Bakugou, Todoroki and a few others were fuming in absolute rage. While the others, hoping for the best to come out.
"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen!" A voice came from behind All Might. It made everyone curious. The voice was surprisingly very young. But dull and lifeless. Broken and crazy.
"Is this guy really about to show himself?!?!" Someone from the crowd of people said.
"Is he not afraid or anything?!?!"
"Someone please help him!!!"
While only to Bakugou that voice was so familiar that he could tell apart the difference from a mile.
"No..." Bakugou swallowed thick.
"You know him, Bakugou?"
Bakugou on the other hand, had the expressions as the one on on the screen. The voice. It was him. His voice.
"It can't be him..." Bakugou said in a whisper. The rest of the audience could only wonder. Some of them thought it was familiar. But the voice they were comparing it with was much more happy and full of life.
"Like what you see?" The voice asked mockingly. The crowd was now panicking. This person was not from the League of Villains because all of them were identified by now. But this. A new evil has showed up.
"You all look like you never heard of me, huh?" The voice said again. The crowd can only look at the screen. Tsukauchi immediately called his Head Department and told the other officers to trace this guy.
"Well, that makes sense because, everyone who ever saw me..." The voice said as he turned the camera straight to his face. Green eyes, freckled face, green-black messy hair. It was Izuku 'Deku' Midoriya.
"No..."
"No way!"
"Hell no!"
"It can't be him!!"
"...didn't live to tell the tale..." Midoriya whispered in the camera. Bakugou in the crowd was shocked beyond. He knew that voice. He recognized that face. His childhood friend that he bullied for years. The one who went missing a year ago. Was back. No he wasn't back. He changed. He became a villain.
"Deku...?"
"No. He can't be a-a-a-a..." Uraraka didn't wanted to put the correct word in.
"A villain?" Iida did it anyways.
The staff was also shocked. Not only by the fact that one of their best students was a villain but also how lifeless and crazy his voice was. And not leaving the fact behind that he was missing for an entire year.
"Young Midoriya..." All Might couldn't bear the sight of his kind-hearted successor as a villain.
"Wait...did he just said that he killed people?!" Present Mic yelled.
"This is not our Midoriya..." Yaoyorozu said.
"No...Mido can't!" Ashido exclaimed.
The screen shifted to show the greenette in a dark room with a camera, a microphone and a few screens which showed the crowd, all sat up on a large desk. He was wearing a black vest over a green dress shirt and black dress pants with his signature messy tie and black gloves. He looked at the screen, reading the faces of the people in the area. Then he smirked.
"What's wrong? Huh? Is this all you can do for your beloved Hero? Panic? Scream? Is that all? And you call yourself a superhuman society? Pathetic." Midoriya said through the microphone.
"What is wrong with him?!!" Hado asked.
"C'mon, Midoriya. You're way better than this, dude!!" Kaminari exclaimed.
"Yeah! You're to cool to be a villain!" Mineta exclaimed as well.
Tsukauchi's phone began to ring. He quickly picked it up.
"What's the situation?" He asked.
"Tsukauchi, I'm sorry. We can't trace his location. Some weird radio waves are blocking our path!!" An officer spoke through Tsukauchi's phone.
"What?!"
"He didn't just popped out of nowhere. He made sure no one would get in his way. I hate to say this, but he's got the upper hand." Aizawa said.
"Here is an important thing for all of you. I know that one day some of you will face an intellect type villain. So, the only best thing you can do is: to outsmart him. You have to do something that the villain never would've expected. And that requires fast thinking and quick decision making skills! Understand?" Nezu said to the students.
"Yes sir!"
"I ask everyone down there who has a quirk: how does it feel? The feeling of helplessness and uselessness? How does it feels?! Tell me!!!" Midoriya asked with a twisted smile.
"Horrible..." The audience replied.
The crowd stood still. No one said a word. As much as they wanted to reply back, they couldn't. All Might's life was on the line. They didn't want to say something that will trigger the beast within the boy.
"No reply...? I guess then I should start our little session right?" Midoriya turned the camera at an angle where both him and All Might could be seen. Screams were heard from the crowd as he went closer to the ex-pro.
"What the hell is he going to do?!?!!"
"All Might please be safe!!!"
"You can't be serious right now, Midoriya!!!!!!"
"Now let's get over with The Symbol of Peace's worst hits!!" Midoriya exclaimed as he stood behind All Might. Both of their backs facing each other.
"Who am I, All Might? Do you remember me?" Midoriya asked. Then All Might raised his head a little. God he looked beaten up.
"How can I ever forget you, my boy?" All Might said.
"Remember, All Might. It's another universe so you don't need to feel guilty for whatever happened between those two." Recovery Girl said earning a slight nod in reply.
The All Might on the screen, instead of replying, lowered his head once again.
"No? Pity." Midoriya said.
Then the green haired boy walked up to face the Hero. Midoriya forced his face up so both of their eyes met.
"I'm the one whose dreams you've shattered..." Midoriya said.
Now All Might has full idea on what was going on. His eyes widened in realization that in this universe he didn't choose Midoriya as his successor neither told him that he can become a hero. And here his counterpart was; paying the consequences. At this thought, All Might's hand flung to his gaping mouth.
"All Might? What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost." Midnight asked.
"I-i-it's my fault..." All Might replied.
"WHAT?!!!"
"What do you mean it's your fault?!"
"I think you should just...watch." All Might replied.
"I'm the one you destroyed!! I'm the one whose heart you've broken!! You killed my thoughts, All Might!!! You damaged my mind!!! You ended the way I looked at the heroes and the villains!!! You changed the way I wanted to protect the society!!! You..." Midoriya bursted out all of his contained feelings.
He stepped back and did a T-pose in front of him."You...you made me...this." Midoriya began to laugh frantically.
"You. Made. Me. This." He said poking at All Might's chest with every word while laughing.
"Oh my God..." Uraraka his her face in her hands.
"He...he is crazy!?" Sato exclaimed.
"HAHAHAHAHA!!!..Ha!..Ha!..Ha!..Ha!..Ha!..HA! Hah... Do you remember what you used to say? Hm? 'You decide what you want to be'. Remember?" Midoriya asked. Some of the people in the crowd were already in tears.
"...I do..."
"Well then. And what did you tell me?!?" Midoriya yelled. All Might didn't reply. He couldn't. Why? Two reasons. One, because of his condition. Right now, if he spoke a word, he would definitely spat loads of blood out. Second, because he couldn't. What would he say to him? After all, the boy was right.
"For fucks sake All Might, what the hell did you say to him?!?!!!" Bakugou yelled in exasperation. All Might was silent. His hand was still covering his mouth.
"All Might...?"
All Might looked down. He couldn't reply. Midoriya, on the other hand, looked at him with disappointment in his eyes.
"You said no..." All Might looked up at him.
"You. Said. No. You. Can't." Midoriya said with deadly and crazy eyes.
"To what All Might?" Todoroki asked.
"Yeah. What did you say no to?" Hagakure also asked.
"...To be a hero..." All Might finally replied.
"WHAT THE—?!?!"
"How could you?!!"
"All Might are you ser–" They never got to finish their shock when they heard a loud smack. And then another one, but louder.
"Are you crazy?!! Do you really have to be taught about civilian interaction again?!?!" Recovery Girl yelled at him. Apparently, All Might got two solid hit from Recovery Girl.
"I'm so sorry!! I was in a hurry!! Okay! I apologized later!! Then I told him he can!!" All Might defended himself.
"This case is different though." Jiro said.
"Why?" Midoriya asked as he sat down on a stool nearby.
"Why, All Might? I just wanted to be a hero. I just wanted to help people. Then why did you do this to me?" Midoriya asked further.
"Today, I'm a killer. A murderer. A terrorist. A villain. I'm all of them. Why? Because of you. It's all your fault." Midoriya stated as moved towards the set of screens. He placed his hands down on the desk and scanned the faces in the area.
"This is...this is...just...sad." Kendo said.
In the crowd, we see Katsuki Bakugou on the verge of breaking down. But as always he was just too good at hiding his emotions. His bangs hid his eyes. And he bit his lip. His fists were clenched at his sides. He knew it was also his fault.
"Hey, Bakubro. You okay?" Kirishima asked.
"I'm fucking fine, Shitty Hair." Bakugou replied.
"Language please!" Iida exclaimed.
"But. Do you know what I'm going to do to you?" Midoriya asked half-turning towards him. The craziness filled his eyes and it was terrifying.
"I never. Never. Want to die by your hands, my boy." All Might said knowing fully what's coming next.
Midoriya walked up to All Might again and smiled one of his most innocent smile.
"Why is he smiling like that?" Cementoss asked.
Then Midoriya placed two of his gloved fingers at the corners of his lips to support the smile.
"Why...? Are you...smiling? Like that?" All Might asked.
"Because; the ones who are always smiling are the strongest. Right?" Midoriya quoted Nana Shimura's words. On hearing this All Might's eyes widened. And something shattered.
In that moment, everyone who knew about the history of this, namely; Nezu, All Might, Recovery Girl and Bakugou, flinched. The rest of the audience realized that it was something serious enough to be heartbreaking.
"Well then." Midoriya released his smile and came closer to the hero tied to the chair. Everyone in the crowd screamed for him to stop.
"GOD!!!! SOMEONE PLEASE STOP HIM!!!!!"
"DON'T DO THIS MIDORIYA!!!"
"DEKU PLEASE STOP!!!!!"
—Midoriya wrapped his arms around All Might's neck and embraced him in a loving hug.
"Huh?" came from the crowd.
"Huh?" came from the audience.
Midoriya silently cried on All Might's shoulder while smiling. Giving off a real smile in forever. All Might, on the other hand, also closed his eyes and smiled, probably for the time in that day.
"He needs saving..." Everyone thought looking at Midoriya's smile.
And then it all twisted.
"Shit."
His smile turned into a wide grin and his eyes opened as much as they could extend. He took his hand to one of his pockets and took out a gun. Then he loaded it with the other hand.
"...I'm sorry, Young Midoriya..." All Might began as blood trickled down his mouth.
"...You can become a hero..."
"It's too late now, Hero." Midoriya said as pressed the gun against the back of All Might's head.
*BANG*
"NO!!!!!!!!!"
A lot of people were crying. Some people felt sick. While some just stared at the screen not believing what they have just seen.
Midoriya left the now dead body of All Might and faced the camera.
"Here's a sad truth:" Midoriya said as he loaded the gun again. Everyone in the crowd was in tears. And upon hearing the boy's voice, they all looked up.
Same can be said for the audience.
"No matter how valuable your dreams are to you. People will always try to shatter them. Someone will come and tell you that you can't. So, just smile. Carry on. Don't give a fuck to them. Be what you want to be. Don't let the society mold your personality." Midoriya said as he pressed the gun against his head.
"Deku, don't...!" Bakugou half whispered-half yelled from the crowd.
"I hate how accurate that is." Shinsou said.
"Don't become me. Don't become..."
*BANG*
"...a Deku..."
—Bakugou screamed at the top of lungs and the screen blacked out.
Everyone was silent for a good few minutes. Then Sero broke the silence.
"...Let's not watch this again? Hehe." Sero said.
"Hatsume, please give us something bright that we can feed our corrupted souls."
"On it."
