Reviews with Alumni and Loki

Hofund (pt1 &pt2) ~ Perhaps so, though we would hate to see them working together in true order if this is just a test run. Indeed taking down a bunch of heroes in a relaxing area is easily done.

gold crown dragon ~ What a mark indeed!

Supreme Kai of Booty ~ *fidgets* well...we are back and that's what matters! Reine's parents are the best. Stopped indeed!

Attackin ~ Ooh glad you liked the fighting! Great theories! Who knowwsss what they wannnttt...*tries to be spooky*

61394 ~ *btw when writing you name I (Alumni) sing it to the tune of 24601* Ooh maybe Deku will show up *wink wink*

Mystery Again ~ So intense...we didn't write for like...a long time...

We have a lot of excuses so let me grab the list and we'll read them off and try to justify the disappearance.

1. Alumni was sick for a month

2. National November Writing Month

3. General laziness on Alumni's side of things

Definitely not seeing a pattern here (Loki: It's Alumni's faulttttt) So let's dive straight into the story!

Rokuro peeled his jacket off, tossing it to the side. He didn't like this. Sure, they were little girls, but they had a bad feel about them. They blocked the central road back to the main buildings. What the hell were those villains thinking? Attacking a school for heroes in training? That was a dumb move. What did they have to prove? And why were they sending little girls to fight their battles?

How did it all turn out like this? Akari had been expecting many things by coming to this dinner, such as meeting Creati and Deku, because nothing would stop her from meeting two of her idols, but everything had quickly gone to hell and now her, Saito and Nakamaru were trying to pick up some of the pieces...somehow. Hoping Nakamaru had found them an ally or two in this madness, she stared at the girls, not entirely sure what was about to happen.

Kyo bounced excitedly from foot to foot. "So she's the mind one. We'll keep both on her and then a negative on him. That should work out fine and not exceed our limits."

"I agree," Emi nodded, throwing a bouncy ball down then catching it in her right hand. She reached out, a ring of red light banding around her pinky finger above another ring. A ball of light traveled through the air, curling around Akari Seishin's pinky finger.

Kyo drew her fan out, keeping it close in one hand while stretching out the other. Blue light curled around her finger as well as Rokuro Saito's pinky.

"Rokuro," Akari warned taking a step backwards as she stared at her finger. How did they know who she was? Damn it, she should have acted sooner. She couldn't do anything now, not until she knew what exactly they had just done to her and Saito.

"So you know who we are and you still want a fight?" Rokuro yelled, waving his finger trying to get the blue light off. "We are U.A. students and about as close as they come to Heroes! So don't underestimate us! Just get out of our damn way!"

Akari exhaled, looking back at the girls. She knew the light wouldn't come off, not until they decided to release them of it and hoped Saito would understand that too. His temper might have helped him escape the plight of the others but it wouldn't help him now. "What did you do to us?"

"I connected us," Emi's voice echoed inside Akari's head. "We can now think together, which means we both know what the other plans to do."

Akari flinched, having never been on this side of a mental quirk before...but it couldn't be mental, because it wouldn't work on her if it was. Damn it. If they knew what her plans were as soon as she did, she wouldn't ever have the upper hand? She glanced quickly at Saito. Did he have the same thing happening to him? Surely there was something that they could do.

"It's strange isn't it. You aren't used to mental quirks. See mine's been maturing and expanding much longer than you've been allowed to so your shields don't work when I've infiltrated. Of course, you can now do the same. If only you knew how." A little girl's delighted giggle shook through Akari.

"I can and will figure it out," Akari said firmly. She would, somehow, because she had to. The others were depending on her.

"It will be fun!" Emi replied, just as a blue ring joined the red on Akari's finger.

"Fun isn't the right word," Akari shot back, glaring down at the blue ring then focusing back on the conversation. What could she do?

"Do you want to play now? I think your friend doesn't like us, he might hurt us," Emi took out a pretty pink painted fan. "I don't want that, he can't hurt my sister so I'll have to protect her."

"Can you blame him for not liking you two?" Akari asked, though she had a feeling they would take offense to that. "But how do I play?" It might give her enough time to figure out a way to escape whatever their Quirk was exactly.

"You try to stay alive," Emi shrugged.

Suddenly, her and her sister opened their fans to reveal bladed teeth along the edges. They backed up a step, before charging forward.

Akari instantly drew her metal staff and held it defensively in front of herself. She took a steadying breath, and didn't move, letting them come to her. They might be young, but she wouldn't underestimate them.

Kyo attacked Rokuro Saito, while Emi slashed her fan at Akari. As she ducked, Emi jumped behind her, attacking with her bladed fan.

Akari managed to block each fan swap with her staff. The girl was fast, but so was she and she had a feeling that she might have a little more depending on her than the girl did.

Rokuro grabbed the girl's fan, sending a blast of red, hitting her in the stomach. He needed to knock them out. He didn't like fighting kids, but if they were so eager to attack then...suddenly he doubled over, pain searing through his stomach. What the hell had happened?

"Saito?" Akari had seen him fall out of the corner of her eye but couldn't look to see if he was alright. She hoped he was.

Emi slashed her fan, cartwheeling and slicing at Akari's legs. "He'll be okay if you just surrender."

Kyo stood, watching Rokuro Saito. She was undamaged by his attack, tracing the lace on her fan.

"I'm not," Akari snapped. He would just have to hold out a little bit longer until she could get the upper hand. She hoped he could. Even though she knew this was the right thing to do, she couldn't shake her feelings of guilt.

"Alright," Emi opened her fan again, slicing in a cross pattern. "I hope he's okay then."

Akari didn't say anything, watching the little girl warily. She couldn't afford to take her focus off her for even a second but she did hope Rokuro Saito was alright too. It was worrying her.

Emi swung again, this time one of their signature snowflake patterns. However this left a gap in her defense.

As soon as she saw the opening, Akari took it, slamming her staff hard into the girl. A part of her hated hurting her, she was just a kid after all, but she knew that Saito's safety was her first priority. A sudden pain stole her breath and she gasped sharply.

Emi straightened, looking at her curiously. She didn't seem affected by the blow given. Her fan closed in her hand as she watched, noticing Saito falling to his knees again.

"What the hell?" Akari breathed, catching sight of this. Her eyes widened suddenly with horror and she jerked her attention back to the girl. "Does he feel everything?" she demanded.

"My sister put a negative bond on you both. When you hurt a positive it simply bounces back to you. I let go of my positive bond on you because I didn't want to get hurt," Emi said. "But I put it on Rokuro Saito instead."

Akari swore under her breath. This complicated things. What could she do? She didn't want to keep hurting Rokuro; herself she was fine with however. "Saito?" she called, making a decision.

"What?" Rokuro ground out, voice flecked with pain and anger.

"How much more can you take?" Akari did her best to keep her voice from shaking.

"I can take it," Rokuro shoved himself to his feet.

Swallowing hard, Akari leapt at the girl, swinging her bo staff. She hoped desperately that she could figure out another plan and soon; she didn't want to keep causing Rokuro pain.

Emi didn't try to avoid the blow, letting it slam into her stomach, she slid backwards, but straightened up, unaffected.

Akari didn't let any seconds pass, before she hit the girl again, this time in her lower back. Something would have to bring her down; she just hoped it didn't bring Saito down too. Pain shot through her, exactly where she had hit the girl at and she gritted her teeth.

Rokuro ground his teeth together, hitting the ground again. From his hits on the other girl recently and Akari's hits he was going down. He pushed himself over, rolling to avoid the sharp blades of the fan.

Was this even helping anything? She didn't want to make Rokuro Saito suffer for no reason. But what more could she do? She couldn't use her Quirk,so she was quickly running out of options. Swallowing hard, Akari attacked again, trying to ignore the steadily growing pain.

Emi and Kyo moved in sync, switching back and forth a few times. Each time they were hit, there was no effect except on their opponents.

Pain was making Akari dizzy, and she could only image how Saito was dong. They needed backup, and fast, but she wasn't sure if even that would help.

Rokuro wheezed, holding his ribcage. He was sure the last blow had broken a rib. Dammit, he couldn't keep his feet much longer. They were just little girls but they had more control over their quirks than he did.

Groaning softly, Akari staggered, pain erupting in her side again. At least it wasn't in the same place as before. She had never wanted to know how badly her staff could hurt.

Emi curled around her, slashing her upper arm open with her fan. Kyo kicked Rokuro in the head as he bent, managing to slice his hand with her fan.

Blood instantly spilled from her arm and Akari inhaled sharply, cursing both her slowing reflexes and the gash that tore across her arm. Unable to use it anymore without increasing pain, she forced her bo staff into another hand, though this one had Rokuro's wound, making it pulse with pain. She refused to allow hopelessness to swallow her, though it was becoming increasingly hard to avoid those feelings.

Rokuro cursed as fire light his upper arm, yet no wound showed itself. This sucked in so many more ways than one. Also something else was weighing down on him, but from the inside. Though his entire being rebelled against the thought, the words of hopelessness kept whirling through his mind. Against his will he found himself buckling, hitting the ground hard.

A thud drew Akari's attention and she jerked her head in the direction that the sound came from. It made her even more dizzy but that didn't matter as she saw Rokuro. She had never seen someone as pale as he was. Guilt stabbed her chest, hurting her worse than the various wounds that were beginning to line her body. She staggered suddenly, feeling the weight of helplessness crush down against her shoulders. She knew without a doubt it wasn't hers, and Rokuro...helpless? Doubtful too. But she didn't have time to figure it out now.

Struggling to drag in each breath, Rokuro stayed down, hands against the pavement and head bowed. Heaving in a painful gasp, he shook himself, trying to get back up. Anger pounded through his head. Why was he so weak? Then again the reminder of "why was it even worth it?" slammed into his thoughts, battling with the anger.

"Damn it," Akari breathed,but forced herself to look back to the girls. She had to focus. She couldn't keep this up forever, neither of them could take much more, but she had no doubt what would happen if she gave in now. Surely backup would be here soon; the twins couldn't possibly do this to many more people at the same time.

Both girls glanced at each other, before attacking her at the same time. Rokuro was down, struggling with his own head to be of any use. That meant he and Akari would both be going down soon. Emi grabbed her staff while Kyo flipped, slashing Akari's ankles.

A moment of distraction, a moment of struggling under the helplessness, then pain shot through Akari's ankles and suddenly, her body gave in to the agony that was slowly but steadily working through her body. She collapsed to the ground with a pained gasp.

Emi and Kyo stepped back, obviously pleased with how this had gone. They approached, fans opened.

Rokuro groaned, unable to move. His arms trembled under the weight of his own helpless body. Why couldn't he move? What had they done to him?

Akair's head was spinning far too much for her to form any kind of thought that made even somewhat sense. Get up, get up, get up, she repeated, latching onto the chant. But even then, she didn't seem to be able to do it.

"Saito! Seishin!" Rin shouted, running up. He kept Eri behind him his arm already outstretched. Suddenly he skidded to a halt. "Emi? Kyo?" He gulped, staring at the two young girls.

Hearing his voice, Akari released a breath, closing her eyes. She would rest, just for a minute, then she would get up and help him. Just for a minute.

"Brother!" Both girls beamed, running up to him. Despite himself, Rin let them embrace him, too shocked at seeing them and his classmates on the ground.

"What's going on?" Eri stared at the girls who seemed to be just her age.

Brother? Akari groaned softly, trying to will herself to get up. Surely she had misheard them. But when she managed to wrench her eyes open, then propped herself on shaking arms, she realized she really hadn't.

"What did you do to my friends?" Rin pulled back. "I knew they were here but I didn't think he would send you."

"It's a fun trip," Kyo giggled, ignorant of the meaning of his expression.

"It's been so long since you came, big brother," Emi clapped her hands together. "Why do you have to be a hero? Is it really important?"

"Can you have this conversation after letting us go?" Akari asked, soft voice weighted with weariness and pain. She was worried about Saito, who hadn't made much of a sound, or a movement even, since falling. She could only assume what exactly this conversation was about, but right now, none of that mattered.

"Emi, Kyo," Rin jerked his attention back to his classmates. "Please let them go."

"Alright!" Both happily agreed in unison.

Rin pushed past them, holding out his arm and healing them.

"So are you going to come back?" Emi hopped up and down on one foot.

"Thanks," Akari said softly, slowly sitting up again. She felt like this conversation wasn't meant for her, so she focused instead of Rokuro, trying not to pay attention to what was being discussed.

"I'm not, Emi," Rin said softly. "You know I left." He walked over to Rokuro Saito.

Doing her best to ignore the conversation, Akari watched him as he worked, briefly glancing down at her hands. At least she couldn't feel his pain anymore or that helplessness...she frowned, trying to understand. There was something there but...her face paled and she glanced up sharply again. Eizen...had it been Eizen?

Rokuro straightened, his mind still messed up. "Thanks," he muttered. He glared at the girls, still untouched. "Why haven't you dealt with them?" he snapped.

Rin flinched, "I...I…" he looked helplessly at the two, still smiling at him.

"Do you want him to get like we were?" Akari cut in, Rokuro's question drawing her from her thoughts. She didn't look at Nakamaru, focusing instead on Saito. "He healed us. We should go."

"Can you handle them, Nakamaru?" Rokuro shook himself, trying to feel angry enough to drown out the other emotions.

"I've got them," Rin nodded. "Go get help."

Akari quickly stood. "Thanks, Nakamaru," she said seriously, then reached and grabbed Rokuro's arm. "I can get help. You need to find Eizen."

"What do you mean? We left him with the others back there," Rokuro cursed as the other emotions started breaking through his anger.

"Rokuro," Akari said patiently. "I felt those feelings too. You need to make sure he's alright." She didn't think he was but she didn't voice that thought.

Rokuro hesitated, "He can take care of himself. The last thing I need is to go mad."

At that, Akari hesitated as well, then sighed. "I'm sure this will get under control soon," she offered. She was worried about Eizen, far more than she had ever been before, but she didn't want to risk losing Rokuro. Thye needed all the allies they could. "Faster if we can find help." She had no idea where to even start there.

"Alright," Rokuro shot her a confident grin. "I'll go get the teachers, you get the other students who board here."

Akari managed to smile back, though she didn't think it was nearly as confident. "Alright. Be careful." She was sure her advice was falling on deaf ears but she said it anyway.

"You don't need to tell me that," Rokuro ran off in the direction of the faculty building. Whoever wasn't at the party should be there.

Fairly certain that she actually did, Akari shook her head, then darted in the opposite way. She hoped she could find a good number of other students. They needed all the help they could get in this.

Though her face revealed nothing of her inner turmoil, Chiyo Saito, known professionally as Aquarius, was anything but calm. Two of her brothers were unaccounted and most certainly in danger, but she wasn't able to do anything for, at least right now. That absolutely killed her. "Moonrain," she called, pushing back her long purple hair as she approached the Honor Hero. She had yet to see her parents, or Youta or Takeshi, but she knew they would be here. When it mattered, the Saito family could be united.

Moonrain looked up at her, the sleeves of her kimono folded neatly. "U.A.'s gates have been closed. Its nearly impossible to get in once this has happened. A security feature for the students."

Chiyo released a breath, then nodded. Of course. "Who made contact with you?"

"My sidekick, Creati," Moonrain looked worriedly at the gates.

"My brothers are in there too," Chiyo said softly. They would all be alright; they had to. She quickly reached for her phone, dialing Youta's number.

"Yeah, and I thought I was missing out on this dinner," Takeshi walked up to Chiyo. "Oh well, this is a good way to have Hito owe me," he grinned, water forming in his hand. "It's going to take a lot, but fortunately there's a hydrant nearby. I hope you don't mind getting a little wet, Miss Moonrain."

Though feeling somewhat more reassured, despite her worry, now that Takeshi had arrived, Chiyo still rolled her eyes, putting her phone to her ear as she kicked off her shoes "Don't forget to tell Mom that you appreciate her putting you on patrol."

"You must be Akio's family," Shigure Saito said, his normal cheerful demeter replaced by a rare severity. It was going to be a challenge to use his Quirk when both his brothers were in that madness somewhere. Damn it, he should have gone. "I'm Shigure, or Hatchiman. I'm Eixen and Rokuro's older brother."

"Right, the twins," Takeshi snapped his fingers. Water was pooling at his feet. "I remember them." Water formed in the air, taking on the shape of stairs over the gates.

Despite himself, Shigure's lips quirked slightly. Rokuro had a tendency to leave a lasting impression, no matter what he did. "Our father's on his way."

"We'll let our parents figure out how to get in on their own. Let's go," Takeshi started up the watery stairs. He had hardened the density of his water so it was just like concrete, give or take a few splashes.

Chiyo followed quickly, barely aware of the other heroes that were following behind her. She had told Youta their plan, and trusted he knew what to do. He wouldn't be a Pro, or a Saito, if he didn't. Not dressed at all for this, she hiked up her skirts; every time water made contact with her skin, it tingled, calling out to her like the drug that it was.

Moonrain followed, the skirts of her kimono dragging slightly in the water, but her steps remained as graceful as ever. She jumped down on the opposite side, ready for a fight. However the area remained desolate.

Shigure frowned, eyebrows furrowing. It was too quiet, too still. What was going on?

"Kazuha," Momo called softly, relief in her voice as she hurried to the group. Having the Pro here lifted a fraction of her worry. She recognized Takeshi Saito, he looked too much like his brother for her not to know him, and Chiyo Saito, who also shared a resemblance, but she wasn't for certain who the other was.

"Momo," the Honor Hero smiled gently. Moonrain glanced around again. "What is going on here?" she asked. "We heard Villains attacked. Is this true?"

"I don't know," Momo said, trying to keep her voice steady. Now that she was out of the chaos, it was finally beginning to catch up with her. "It's completely madness. There seems to be only a few of us that weren't affected by this."

"Madness?" Moonrain's brows drew together in a tight frown.

Momo nodded, glancing over her shoulder. "I've never seen anything like it," she said softly. "But everyone's passed out now."

"Passed out?" Moonrain queried. She was only finding more questions than answers. This was so unusual.

Momo nodded again, glancing back at then straightened. "The villiams seem to have left. Kito's searching the area," she said, still not sure if splitting up was the best idea," And there were some students that turned out alright."

"Well fortunately the media is out of the way," Moonrain grimaced. "The cameras went down after your fight. It's total chaos outside though."

"What do we do now?" Momo asked, taking a deep breath then releasing it again.

"Try to resolve this," Moonrain said softly. "We need to open the gates and evacuate."

"Alright." Momo dipped her head. "Your lead." She hoped this would be resolved quickly; for the others' sakes. She was terrified their unconsciousness was a mask for something else.

"Wait," Shigure said quickly. "Do you know if my brothers are with the others?"

Momo shook her head. "I only saw Eizen. He was with Akio," she said softly, wishing she had better news. She knew he was worried, just as she was.

"Thank you," Shigure said, voice soft, then straightened. It was better than nothing. "Alright. Let's go."

"Wait," Moonrain said softly. "There's someone here."

Chiyo instantly straightened, holding up her hand. Water droplets formed quickly, forming into a rather large orb as she readied herself for possible trouble.

A figure in a long black coat stepped out of the darkness, the startling white mask encompassing his entire head shining in the moonlight. Black gloves with white mechanisms fitted around the fingers.

Moonrain raised her hands pressing them together, settling into the Vrksasana. By his look alone he was no friend, and by the dragon etched on the mask it declared him a Villain.

Though it wasn't as powerful as it could be, Shigure quickly engulfed his hand in the orange of his Quirk. He didn't recognize the villain, which didn't mean anything since there were so many, but he had no idea what they were about to face.

Takeshi straightened, water beginning to form around him in a large moving puddle. That was the Tatsugami Clan. But they had always kept low. Why appear now?

Quickly forming a staff, Momo didn't look away from the man, stomach in knots. He was one of them but she wasn't sure which; what was he going to do? She waited for Moonrain to make a move, knowing the Pro Hero would make the right decision.

"Who are you?" Moonrain called. "And are you associated with those attacking this school?"

"I am associated with them," a mechanically deep voice whirled. "Simply, I am what you call a Villain and you are what they call Heroes. It is our very nature to clash here."

Chiyo had never heard something so chilling before but she kept her composure. "You're not keeping us away from the others," she said flatly. "Stand aside."

"I'm afraid I cannot do that," the voice echoed hollowly. "You may try to pass though."

Momo shifted uneasily. They had the better odds, that was for certain, but she had a feeling that might not matter this time.

"I will stay and fight him," Takeshi said, the water flowing around his feet. "Everyone else should figure out what the hell is going on here and resolve it before the city panics."

Chiyo nodded, though she wasn't sure if this was a great idea. "Alright, be careful."

Takeshi nodded, "I will, big sis." Suddenly a wave of water sprang into the air towards the Villain. "Now go!" He shouted.

Chiyo didn't waste any time. Instantly, she began to run around the beginning battle.

"Oh I don't think so," Izumi Nagashi smiled blood running down her arms. "He's not alone. Or didn't you know the League and the Clan had joined forces?"

Yoshi Uchina smiled, appearing at her side. She waved a hand; then brushed back strands of hair from her face. This was nothing they hadn't been prepared for.

"Shit," Chiyo swore, backing up several steps. The clan...damn. That was not what she had been expecting and only complicated matters as it was.

The wave of water washed down. Takeshi made a face. "It didn't even touch him," he muttered. His quirk had to be some sort of shield or illusion based.

"It wouldn't," Yoshi agreed, voice quiet. Heroes, she was learning, were far more stupid than one would think.

Yoshi Uchina! Quirk: Invisible Shields! She can create and manipulate force fields in the shape of bubbles! Quirks are unable to attack through unless weakening and breaking the shield down! Villain name: Claustro!

"It's the girl," Shigure murmured, narrowing in on the girl. Her quirk seemed to be a shield of some sort, which she was using to protect her companions. If they took her out, this would go a long way.

"Focus attacks on her," Moonrain said with a commanding tone.

"Shigure, with me," Chiyo called, as she made her water orb larger. If all went well, she would be making it rain tonight.

Bored, Yoshi shifted. They wouldn't be able to touch her. They would learn that sooner than later.

"Do you mind coming with me, Miss Creati?" Takeshi asked.

Momo shook her head, raising her staff. "After you."

Determined to see just how powerful the girl's shields were, which included range, Chiyo tossed the orb straight at the girl. It appeared to hit, only to bounce at the last minute. Before it disolved, Chiyo had formed another. How interesting.

While his control wasn't nearly as impressive as his little brother's, Shigure still had a tight reign over his Quirk. Every action he took, including the blast that followed Chiyo's, was carefully calculated.

Takeshi drew up the water into spear like weapons, hurling them at the shields. At some point, or somewhere there was weakness. He would help the others exploit that and take down the Villains.

Momo slammed her staff against one of the shields, mind working quickly. There had to be a give, but what? Nothing was impenetrable.

"Try again," Izumi smiled. Taking a knife she cut open her arms, blood spilling down, twisting around her fingers. Suddenly the blood lashed out in long thin ropes attacking those attacking the shields.

Izumi Nagashi! Quirk: Vampire! She can manipulate her own blood, even solidifying it like ice! Be careful, if she manages to get some in your bloodstream, she can manipulate your body, even killing you! Villain Name: Dhampir!

"Shit," Takeshi jumped backwards. That was the let down of their family quirks. They could only manipulate liquid water. Ice and this hardened blood wasn't anything they could use. He couldn't even get through the shields to manipulate the water in the other's bodies.

"What the hell?" Chiyo spat, barely dodging out of the way. She had never seen anything like that before. How could they stop something like this?

Moonrain jumped up, settling down into a pose. Light sprung from her hands, in an attempt to melt the blood.

Shigure dodged, cursing as his arm was hit. That hurt more than he was expecting. He aimed a blast of orange, going after that girl. They had to stop her before she took them all out.

Izumi dodged the attacks naturally, letting Uchina cover her. This was a unique style. Fighting together like the Heroes.

"I could get used to this," Yoshi murmured, eyebrow slowly inching upwards as she watched the Heroes. Why didn't they realize how foolish this was?

Groaning softly, Chiyo tried desperately to hang on, but the black spots edging her vision grew so rapidly, it was impossible to do anything but let darkness envepe her.

Momo only had a moment to register the golden dust before darkness took her completely and she knew no more.

Takeshi staggered, trying to wave away the gold dust before it got all the way to him. But he couldn't resist, immediately falling to the ground. This was bad, he thought before it all went black."

Before darkness took his world as well, Shigure saw golden dust, a shadow of a man approaching, then there was simply nothing.

"Damn it," Moonrain cursed. They had been caught off guard. Their offensive quirks had nothing on these. Their quirks weren't suited and that was why...she collapsed to the ground unconscious.

Izumi brushed her hands off, looking at the figure dressed in nice clothing with a white mask obscuring his face. "So, Sandman, what are you going to do with them?"

"Let them sleep, of course."

"What happened here?"

Pro Hero, Deku, otherwise known as Izuku Midoriya walked through the abandoned campus of UA. It was different coming here after he graduated and on such serious business. Alarms had been raised and several Pro Heroes called upon. However none were responding on the channels.

This was supposed to be a charity dinner. For that city Shouto had saved. Villains attacking, it just seemed like a bad dream. Ochako was here he was pretty sure from their text conversation earlier. He hoped she was safe, but he also knew she had no problems taking care of herself.

Right now he had to worry about the villains. What kind of villain could take down an entire assembly of heroes?

The police were right behind him. He would like to get to the bottom of this before they arrived so he could hand over whoever was responsible. He didn't want to put them at risk.

But everything was empty and…

Four heroes lay on the ground.

Quickly, Deku ran up bending down and checking their pulses. He had seen some of these and...that was Momo Yaoyurozu! Pulses were steady, as well as breathing. It was almost like they were…

Sleeping.

That didn't make things any less confusing. Deku stood up, checking the others as well. It was the same. It must be some sort of quirk. Keeping this many people asleep couldn't be easy. Also this Villain could have several people with him keeping him safe. Running through possibilities, Deku moved on, trying to track down the villains causing this mess.

Moving into the building he looked around, finding several Pro Heroes in a similar situation. This made no sense. The quirk had to be boosted on some drugs. Or perhaps it wasn't a quirk at all. Some sleeping gas maybe?

He recognized some of the unconscious bodies. Big name heroes. His eyes widened as he started seeing his old classmates. At least they were sleeping, but some had wounds as if there had been a struggle. He had better check in and have the police call in more medics.

Checking on pulses, he straightened as he saw Uraraka. Quickly moving over towards her, he bent, worriedly checking her heartbeat. Steady, like everyone else's. A sense of relief flooded over him as he lifted her placing her down on the floor instead of leaned halfway up against the wall. She seemed to be fine, but nothing was fine here.

Nothing was making sense. Where were the Villains?

Suddenly a noise outside drew his attention. It was like many people yelling. Cautiously he rose moving towards the door. Wary of attack, he threw a black whip forward to pull the doors open.

Several flashes of light blinded him momentarily. Deku raised his arm to block the light. What on earth?

"Its Pro Hero Deku! The number seven!"

"Deku what happened here? Where are all the Pro Heroes?"

"Is it true that Villains attacked?"

"I heard that it was inner sabotage! Were the Heroes really fighting each other?"

"The Media," Deku murmured, blinking as several more photos were taken. Microphones were being shoved in his face. He had to act fast or panic would break out.

"Everything is alright," he said calmly, trying to slow the rush of questions. "You need to please leave the area, this is a sectioned off crime scene…"

"Then it is true that the Heroes were fighting each other!"

"We can't release anything yet," Deku replied, relieved to hear police sirens. "Please leave the area for your own safety. I am sure full statements will be released to the public as soon as possible."

Three detectives raced up, followed by several uniformed police officers. "Take civilians out of the area," Yui Tanaka ordered, motioning for her subordinates to clear the scene before turning to her partner. "Kōmori, how far out is medical?"

"No more than five," Kashiwa said, glancing briefly at his phone. He hoped they weren't needed but the fact was, there were too many uncertainties for him to believe all the Pros, and the students, would be fine. The students...where was his daughter tonight?

Nodding, Yui turned to Deku, frowning. "What happened?" They didn't dare check on the Pros until they knew exactly what was going on. What could have knocked them out like this?

"Not sure yet," Deku looked around. "I haven't spotted any villains. It's all very strange. Be on alert. I'm going to patrol the area." He looked up, spotting several more pro heroes arriving with police.

Yui nodded. "Be careful. We have this handled." Once they got the media got cleared out, they would begin assessing.

"Thank you," Deku nodded.

Something caught Kashiwa's eye and he looked up. "Yui," he said softly, motioning to what he had seen. His partner stiffened as she also saw who it was. She nodded at him and he turned, rapidly approaching the boy.

"Rin Tatsugami, you're under arrest."

Rin looked up eyes widening as he raised his hands. He glanced over at Eri. She stared up at him. Why were they arresting him? And using his father's last name…

"Yui, there's a girl over here," Kashiwa called, putting a pair of handcuffs on Tatsugami's wrists. Thanks to their tip, they had one of sons of Masa Tatsugami.

"No stop he's helping me!" Eri put her hands on her hips. "He's a student!"

A student...which meant he had to know Kaede. Taking a deep breath, as Yui came over and collected the girl, Kashiwa tried to shake away thoughts that this wasn't a good idea.

"What did I do?" Rin asked shakily.

"You're Masa Tatsugami's son," Kashiwa said simply. "At a crime scene." This might turn out to be an in they've been looking for years.

"I'm a student," Rin said. "I wasn't part of anything."

"We'll sort it all out at the station," Yui said seriously, holding the girl by the hand.

"Where's my daddy and big brother?" Eri shrank back, wanting to be let go of. She didn't like strangers holding her.

"Who's your dad?" Yui asked, voice becoming surprisingly gentle as she turned.

"Shota Aizawa," Eri said.

It took a moment for the name to click then Yui sighed. "He'll be around here somewhere. We'll find him." She watched as her partner lead the boy away, then turned away herself. She hoped they could find Aizawa and soon, for the little one's sake.

There were no villains. Deku jumped down. The two Tatsugami Clan members had disappeared into the night but those were the only two. No Villains anywhere. Had they escaped when the Press mobbed the school grounds? There were no answers. Nothing. What had happened here?

A foreboding feeling rose in his mind as he looked around. What was going on? Was the Tatsugami Clan really powerful enough to stage an attack like this? Yes the old underground gangs were rising to power again, but would they risk an attack on U.A. on a room full of Pro Heroes by themselves?

"What's going on?" he muttered.

More questions than answers! I bet the readers feel the same as Deku (which is a good thing cause...you can relate to the story...right?). Don't expect easy answers on silver platters! Everything will come to light the hard way.

Anyways...we are back after a lengthy break. I hope someone is still around to enjoy the story as it progresses!
