Summer is ending... things are getting a bit sad now... Never mind that! On to the story! Plus Ultra!

I don't own the characters.

Izuku's fingers were bleeding as he washed them in the sink. He still hasn't gotten over the memories that had overcome him and had taken to hurting himself and the surroundings around him. Shigaraki mostly left him alone for the time being but it's only a matter of time until he comes and gets rid of him. The guilt was starting to eat up on him, plaguing him with nightmares as he tried to think of how he could contact his classmates. "Do they even want to see me? They must be repulsed, having a murderer in their midst after all this time…. did they even know what I was?" he whispered as he clutched his head in his hands, his scalp already riddled with nail marks and tufts of hair littered the ground.

Izuku barely ate as well so his physical condition had taken a turn for the worst. He knew that he had to keep up his composure but something in his gut told him that he truly had nowhere to go. So why bother then? "What am I to do? What am I to do?" he whispered as he paced his room, his mind going back towards trying to find out what was going on in there. If he could penetrate the League of Villains and send information to his classmates.. but that would mean instant death for him. He had no way of getting back to them for the time being.

"Oi, it been a week since you're in there! Why don't you go catch some fresh air or something?" Dabi groaned as he slammed a fist on the door, shaking it as Izuku dashed to it, trying to hold it back even though it was locked. "I'm fine… I just need to think." "I think you've done enough of thinking, dammit!" Dabi fumed but he left him anyway. Izuku slumped to the ground as he felt more memories rush into him. Whatever Shigaraki had done to him, it made his memories come back at really bad timings.

He saw himself hurting All Might and the city in ruins around him. He recalled how he had captured Bakugo and left the rest of his class to rot with Mustard's gas. He wanted to puke just thinking about it. The Villains would kill him if they found out he planned to defect and the heroes would toss him into Tartarus as far as he knew. His heart hammered as he went to the bathroom and tried to fix himself up as best as he could before walking out of the room.

Truth be told, everyone was already scared of him because he was the successor of All for One, something that made him squirm since they treated him like the leader. As he approached the bar where Shigaraki and Dabi sat, Shigaraki beckoned him to come closer. Knowing what the man could do, Izuku cautiously walked forward as Shigaraki placed a hand on his head. He felt sweat dribbling down his back as the man chuckled, "You look like crap." He slowly felt the self-inflicted damage knit themselves up, the skin going back to normal within less than a minute.

"Took you long enough to get your mind in the right place. I was about to tell you about what we plan to do next." Izuku's brain started to process what he was saying, feeling that it was definitely a trap. He watched as Shigaraki continued his game of cards with Dabi before ending it. As he spread his cards across the table, he cracked a grin as he said, "Maybe I'll just keep it as a surprise for you. I don't want you thinking about going to tell your pals about it." Dabi's eyes flickered at his direction for a moment before he went to work at shuffling the cards. Once they were absorbed in the game, Izuku turned to go back to his room. So they had something planned involving the UA High School students eh? He just had to wait and see what was the plan.

…

Bakugo stared at the screen of the television, not paying attention to what the newsperson was saying. The only thing buzzing in his mind were Izuku going missing and UA getting blamed for harboring a criminal this entire time. He kinda pitied Aizawa-sensei having to go for so many conferences after what had happened but it wasn't because he had to get grilled by the reporters all the time. The suit he was wearing and all that hair gel he had to use to make himself look presentable must be killing him big time.

"Come on, Bakugo. You should get some sleep," Kirishima yawned as he stretched before getting to his feet. Now with Izuku gone, the entire school was on lockdown and Class 1-A had to be escorted to every class they had in case the Villains tried to target them. Since Izuku was gone now, they had no idea what he might be planning or if he had decided to go back to Villainy for good. "Damn it, with Midoriya gone, things just went downhill. I don't think the dude would go back to Villainy and all but I'm not so sure now…"

"Maybe they should have just put him in Tartarus in the first place," Todoroki muttered as he downed some milk. "They have full-time surveillance so if his memory had resurfaced, they could have dealt with it immediately and put him through rehab. Instead, we let him think that he had been a student in UA all this time and had been bestowed with All Might's power when he had been handed a time bomb instead." "We're heroes so we're supposed to forgive and forget right?' "Not to this caliber! I thought they were foolish to have kept Midoriya here despite all his crimes. If they had a better sense, they would have executed him!"

Without warning, Todoroki felt a sensation in his stomach as he was blasted into the wall. Luckily for him, the material made the wall hard to break but it didn't stop his bones from hurting as Bakugo slammed a hand into his throat. "One more word form your mouth, and I'll crush you, half and half bastard,' he growled as Iida pried them apart. "Come on! Keep the noise down!" he snapped as Todoroki brushed him off. "Just stating the facts," he murmured as he went up to his room. "Dammit," Bakugo growled as Kirishima hauled him off to his own room to avoid making things worse.

…

"We should have put the kid in Tartarus while we had the chance," Present Mic snorted as he crossed his arms. The teachers were getting sick of having to deal with press conferences and nightly meetings when all they wanted to do was to get into bed. Aizawa-sensei got the worse of it, his hair still stuck with the gel he had put on from earlier on in the day. All Might looked ready to bury himself in the dirt as he mumbled to himself about how everything was his fault.

"According to Yaoyarozu, the Villains have split the device on Midoriya into several parts so we have several locations to check out. That just makes things harder for us," Present Mic groaned as he leaned back in his chair. Aizawa-sensei yawned as Mera from the Provisional License Exams spoke up, having been dragged in since it had happened on his turf, "Your students will be allowed to participate in the extraction process. They are qualified to do so with Heroes now and it's a valuable experience for them." "We're not risking anyone getting hurt or even killed. According to our sources, the man named Shigaraki Tomura now possesses All for One."

All Might slammed his hand onto the table, the sound of All for One making ripples of anger coursed through him as Principal Nezu patted him on the back. "No need to strain yourself, All Might. We just have to device a few plans, that's all." He clicked a button on the desk to bring up a hologram of the locations that Izuku was said to be at. "We have five locations so if we have the help of Heroes outside of the school, we can scout out this places easily without involving the students. I'll include most of the faculty staff as well."

"But sensei! With the locations being spread out, its most likely they may be planning something on taking down UA!" "We cannot leave a single student to the hands of the Villains when his life is at stake. Our students can take care of themselves. They are Heroes in training after all." The Principal handed out documents to the teachers, some of them frowning as they scanned the pages. "We start off by searching these premises. Then we'll decide our course of action."
