"I really have gotten weaker. Back in my heyday, 5 hits would have been enough to knock that guy out." All Might stood smiling, his fist clenched in front of his body as the dust started to settle. "But today it took more than 300 mighty blows." He turned to look at the villains. "You've been bested, villains. Surrender. We all want to get this over with quickly."

Their leader stood shaking with anger, scratching at his neck as he stayed silent, thinking to himself. "What's wrong? Not attacking me? Didn't you say you were going to clear this level earlier? Well come and get me, if you dare," All Might challenged them, making them step back slightly in fear.

"Man, this is intense," Katsuki watched them curiously.

"As I expected," Shoto nodded. "There is no reason for us to fight now. He'll handle this."

"What? Are you scared?" All Might continued to taunt them.

Their leader started to scratch his neck even more, anxiety and fear taking over. "Ugh, if only Nomu was here. He'd rush you right now and pound you into the ground without giving it a second thought."

"Tomura Shigaraki, please do not fret," the warp gate villain looked towards All Might. "Look at him. He has definitely weakened. Nomu's attacks were successful." The leader stopped his scratching, calming down.

"He's on his own," the villain continued. "The children appear to be frozen in fear, and look! Our underlings are recovering. We likely still have a few minutes before their reinforcements arrive. If you and I work together, we can do this. We haven't missed our chance to kill All Might!"

"Yeah," the leader looked around. "Yeah, you're right. This is it... we have no choice... we have to do it now." He turned to glare at All Might. "I mean, the big end boss is right here."

The guys gasped in surprise, turning to face the weaker villains that were starting to approach them.

"All Might'll be fine, let's take down these bastards," Katsuki raised his firsts, preparing to fight.

Shoto looked towards Midoriya, who was still watching All Might. "Will you be joining us?"

Suddenly the leader of the villains ran towards All Might, screaming. "Consider this revenge for what you did to Nomu!" His comrade quickly made his way towards the hero as well.

Midoriya instantly jumped to his aid, surprising his classmates. "Whoa, Midoriya!" Kirishima cheered.

"Don't you touch All Might, you stupid villains!" He yelled, preparing to punch the warp gate villain.

"I won't fall for that again!" The leader laughed evilly as a warp gate was created, allowing him to stick his hand through, aiming for Midoriya's face.

His hand was quickly shot away with a bullet, and Midoriya came crashing to the ground.

"They're here," All Might sighed in relief as everyone turned to look towards the exit.

The other pro hero teachers had finally arrived, and they quickly began taking down all of the villains. The leader backed away. "Awe man, the pros are here. It's game over for real. Let's go home and try this when we-"

He was quickly shot down by one of the teachers, his companion using a warp gate to protect him. Thirteen used the last of her energy for her quirk, attempting to pull them into a black hole before they could escape.

"I may have failed to kill you this time, but your days are numbered... All Might, Symbol of Peace, I am going to kill you," he shouted in anger before they both disappeared through a warp gate.

"If all the pro-teachers are gathered here, it must mean the rest of the school's safe," Shoto looked towards the exit, rubbing the back of his neck. "The villains attacked this facility, but not the rest of the campus."

Katsuki nodded in agreement. They planned this out well and managed to escape even though they failed...

Shoto turned to look at Katsuki, his grey and turquoise eyes piercing. "Now, where is she?"


Katsuki kicked the sandbag that hung in his room, trying to work out some of his frustration and worry.

He'd had to lead Kirishima to the hospital with a police escort, and since they couldn't guarantee that they were in a vehicle with them, they'd had to walk. It was killing him, not knowing if Veronica was okay in the Void.

The hospital had given her a room and a bed, even though both of them were still in the Void. The Dr hadn't been much help either. With Katsuki's explanation of Veronica's earlier behavior, they'd decided that it was best to let her rest for a few hours before Kirishima attempted to wake her up again.

They were worried about leaving Veronica for too long without medical attention, but forcing her to use her quirk too soon could make things worse.

Even better, Shoto had just stood there silently the whole time, listening to his explanation with a stern face. Katsuki had been smart enough to leave the part about Veronica crawling all over him out of his story though.

Fuck! He punched the sandbag, a few explosions erupting from his hand. I hate just sitting here and waiting!

"HEY!" Katsuki heard his mom yell to him. "NO USING YOUR QUIRK IN THE HOUSE BRAT!"

"SHUT IT YOU OLD HAG!" He screamed back, reaching out to stop the swinging of the now burnt bag.

He'd given the hospital his cell number, insisting that they call him the second Veronica returned from the Void. You'd better have taken good care of her shitty hair.

He huffed in frustration, running his hand through his hair as he sat down on his bed. His mind wandered to what had taken place earlier that day in the Void.

"Katsukitty!"

He blushed, remembering how Veronica had clung to him, playing with his hair as her chest pressed against his face. Fuck! It didn't help that her top was so low cut too... He shook his head, rubbing his hand across his face.

She acted so sweet and innocent... Katsuki frowned. She'd be so terrified of leaving the Void, afraid someone was going to hurt her. It's because of that god damn woman! She's probably been beating her all her life. His jaw clenched just thinking about the sadness and fear in her blue eyes.

I have to make sure that she's safe. I won't let anyone hurt her anymore.
