The Seige
"Isn't it too peaceful lately?" Nezu, a mixture of a mouse, a bear and a dog— mostly a mouse though— said as he sipped on his cup of tea and regarded his visitor, a beautiful young lady with curly green locks cascading down in perfect waves that perfectly framed her freckled face.
"Isn't this what heroes strive so hard to achieve? Even going so far as betting their lives on the line just to achieve this peacefulness?" She giggled sophisticatedly. Her alluring voice was like music in the ocean that draws sailors down to their deaths. A deathly sweet and mellow voice that masked everything there was to her.
"So what brings you here, Your Highness?" Nezu asked, fully aware of the other party's identity and yet boldly invited her for an afternoon tea.
Izuku only smiled and settled her cup down gently. She only had one purpose for infiltrating their target before their siege, and that was to negotiate their surrender— not the villain's but the heroes'. As much of a villain she was, she didn't like needless bloodshed and quite possibly wasting potentials cause of their differing beliefs and perspectives. So, she convinced Shigaraki to send her for a negotiation. "There's only one thing. Surrender to me, Mr. Principal."
Nezu wasn't taken aback with Izuku's proposal. He had a slight idea what the witch was there for and she certainly did not disappoint his expectations. Well, Nezu was quite sharp despite his cute, clueless and docile appearance. Really, never judge a book by it's cover indeed. He smiled in return to Izuku's proposal and quite softly shook his head. "I'm afraid I cannot do that, your highness. It is as you said, heroes do everything in their power to keep this peace— even betting their own lives— and I cannot trample all over their convictions just like that."
"Well—" "And besides, the moment your league rises above their stations, everyone will suffer greatly. So I cannot do that. I cannot allow you to take over and destroy these promising new heroes." Nezu added and casted a side glance towards the window where the students were visible as they practiced, trained and sparred with each other. "This... They are the future we will protect at all cost."
"I really believed you would think better of their futures, Mr. Principal. Surrendering to me is within their best interests, you know? That way, all the needless bloodshed and deaths can be prevented and this future that you want to protect so much will remain safe. How about it? Do you still refuse to surrender to me willingly?" Izuku spoke and this dangerous glint in her eyes shone briefly that Nezu could tell that this lady meant business. She was dead serious about her subliminal threat.
"Indeed. There will be bloodshed if neither our forces surrender willingly, huh?" Nezu mused and struck a thinking position before casually drinking his tea again. "But I am sorry, your highness. I still cannot surrender our peace to you and your cronies."
"Then, I shall bring you down by force. Good day to you, Mr. Principal. Thank you for the tea!" She said and stood up from her seat, waving at Kurogiri, who accompanied her, to open up a portal. "I'll see you soonest, Nezu."
"I'll be expecting you, Witch Queen."
Izuku vanished against the black mist portal that Kurogiri made and left the principal alone in his office. He stood up after feeling the other's aura completely vanish and immediately summoned all the pro-heroes, currently teaching at the academy, to give them a heads-up on the villain's possible attack and tighten their defenses. They cannot allow themselves to be lax and be complacent about this attack as the Witch Queen, herself, is leading it. A momentary slip in their defense and all is lost.
"We need him now."
"How did your negotiations go?" Tomura asked as soon as Izuku emerged from Kuro's portal and met with his crazed empty eyes, that only seemed to contain a little bit of something when facing Izuku, and she sighed in clear frustration.
"Issue a command to prepare." Izuku announced and pivoted on her heels with a graceful flow of her dress and waving locks. "We attack tonight."
"She didn't seem to be in a good mood." Dabi, a man with brown patches of skin stapled onto his own skin, commented as he played with his blue fire.
"The talk must've not went well." Tomura had this smirk on his face that gave away his happiness at the breakdown of negotiations between Izuku and the UA's principal. Now, it meant they could go wild.
"You seem very happy with it, Shigaraki-chan~!" Himiko, the blonde psychopath, giggled and spun the knife she held on her hands before tossing it up and down as if playing with a harmless toy. "Will she be with us on the attack though? Weren't her beloved little boys there? Well except for the one currently kept in the basement."
"Oh, of course she'll be with us. After all, even with the blonde meeting her face to face and even getting to talk with her didn't give her mind a kick-start. What could that half breed do?" Tomura gave a smirk and laughed victoriously. With Izuku on their side, losing is such a far-fetched thought. She only needs to not remember anything and they will be fine. "Well, let us prepare for the start of our era, everyone!"
Izuku stood on the heavy steel gates of the academy and placed a hand. The moment she opens the gates— blow up the goddamned steel hindering her path— will be the signal to start the war with the heroes. There was only one goal for their siege; Kill or Capture every heroes down to the weakest one.
She released her seals and smirked as soon as she landed a blow to the steel doors that shattered it like a piece of fragile glass. Nothing stands in the way of the Witch Queen. As soon as the gates were down, Izuku was confronted with a whole line-up of pro-heroes already ready to face her and all on their toes. She giggled before crossing her arms across her chest. "I'm sorry to disappoint you guys but I am not your opponent."
When her words left her lips and the smoke from her attack has dissipated, it revealed her very own line-up of villains standing behind her, each wearing a crazed and manic smiles, ready to attack at the command of their queen.
"Well then, play to your heart's content everyone." Izuku spoke and the villains charged at the heroes, thus starting the war. She walked between the chaos, deflecting everything that was thrown at her, and proceeded towards the principal's office. She must subdue him now.
"Mr. Principal~ Come out, come out wherever you are~~!" Izuku called in a playful singsong voice. She was having the fun of her life. Heroes were always the good-for-nothing, self-praising bunch to her. They were what took everything from her. So she was going to take everything from them as well.
Opening the door to the principal office, she giggled as she saw the principal's chair facing it's back on her. Maybe he was witnessing the downfall of his comrades from his spot. She closed the door behind her and slowly made her way towards his table and sat on top of it, fiddling with her waved locks. "You should issue a surrender now, Mr. Principal. Don't wait for my comrades to finish them all."
The chair turned and who sat there wasn't the same mouse, dog or bear— or whatever he was— she met that afternoon. It was a big and buff blonde man that had this very big smile on his face that immediately turned into a sad frown as he laid eyes on her and spoke in a soft voice— very contradicting to his large build— a gentle "Izuku".
