So my college sent everyone home because of the virus. Just a reminder to be safe. I'm probably going to start posting my Demon Slayer and Fate fanfiction today as well, so ye. That one's gonna have a slower schedule.

Frostlash: The phantasms granted were granted based on what was most comfortable and matched personality or ability-wise. Toshinori and Seigfried because of their generosity and kindness. Enji and Karna because of their flames. Karna is the hero of charity, and if it means lending his spear to help protect children and the world, I don't think he'd mind. Remember, Karna had no qualms about Shirou killing his master and the rest of the world as long as he and Siegfried fought. He's nice, but I feel like people overextend that nice feeling— this is Apocrypha Karna, not FGO or Extella Karna, there is a difference in personality, just like FGO Emiya and FSN/UBW Emiya. Anyways, I had a beta version where Edgeshot got Maria the Ripper but then remembered I don't like Jack the Ripper in Apoc (please give her some fucking pants, we don't lolicon here) and then scrapped that. I went into this knowing that people wouldn't agree with what I wrote and I was okay with this. Don't worry though, he won't be keeping it. It's purely for ass-kicking in the raid arc.


Swish.

Chiron's leg swung out as he kicked empty air. He fist was thrown next as he repeated a one-man Pankration routine.

Hit. Doge then kick.

For the first time in ages, Chiron felt powerless.

The news of the attack on the training camp had hit like a truck and left Chiron with what felt to be the world pulled out from under his feet. A lost, empty feeling that pooled into dread.

Of course, that dread soon turned into rage.

From what Kan's report said, twelve students had injuries that ranged from minor to severe. Astolfo was one, currently in the hospital with broken ribs. He was healing quickly and was already ready to get back on his feet and fight.

Pixie-Bob had been seriously injured as well and was in critical condition.

Thirteen students were unharmed, which was a relief but…

Chiron took a breath as he paused his shadow boxing, gazing down at his hands.

Ragdoll was missing. As soon as he saw the smoke, Astolfo had taken off to find her in the woods. He had arrived in time to face down a Nomu that had appeared from nowhere, the boy had told him. It had been stronger than any others that he had fought and by the gods did he and Ragdoll fight. But he lost, the Nomu got Ragdoll after seriously injuring them both.

If that wasn't bad enough two students were missing.

Bakugou Katsuki was one.

Gray was the other.

Chiron didn't know if Gray was just in the wrong place at the wrong time and ended up getting swept along with Bakugou or if the League of Villains had been after her from the start as well. He hoped it was the first option. Kan suspected it was such, as Bakugou and Gray had been paired up for the Test of Courage training activity, but it was worrying either way. If All for One had a traitor in the school, which was likely, the Villain could already know of the Servant status of Gray. She could have been a target for that reason.

But it could simply have been a case of wrong place, wrong time. He wasn't sure.

He wasn't sure and it was frustrating.

He could sense Gray still, just on the edges of his mind. She was still alive, so the League wasn't planning on killing them— yet.

He just couldn't do anything. He had been blocked from all sides when he made a move to go get her back. The Heroes wanted to plan, Aizawa said, and Nezu held him back. But only because Ishiyama and Inui grabbed onto the Centaur when he was about to lash out in retaliation to being told he couldn't go. The Police wouldn't let him move without them. It was ridiculous, he could put an end to the entire thing in minutes, but he was being held back.

He slammed his fist into the wall of his apartment, holding it there as he trembled, remembering what had happened just hours before. Currently, a meeting was going on, but he had only cast a resentful look at the Cheif of Police, ignoring Yagi and Nezu, before he left. Nezu had let him, believing that it was best to let him be alone than to be volatile in a place he didn't want to be in. An unhappy servant was not a good servant if they had no master to keep them in control.

Still...

There would be no taking All for One alive after this.

"I'll make sure he's dead," he uttered before he glanced at his phone as it rang. The Archer uncurled his first, feeling his anger subside for the time being. He grimaced at the cracks in the wall before he walked to where he had placed his cellphone on the coffee table.

"Hello?" he answered cautiously. He knew he was missing a staff meeting over at UA and the ringtone that had sounded wasn't the one for Astolfo. The number wasn't the one for the hospital either.

"Is this the Archer of Black?" a man's voice asked from the other end and Chiron narrowed his eyes. He vaguely recognized it, but he couldn't be too sure.

"Can I inquire who's asking?" he prompted.

"Oh, right, sorry, I'm Detective Tsukauchi Naomasa," the man said.

"Yagi's detective friend," he remembered, "What is it that you need me for?"

"We have speculation on where the League of Villains' whereabouts."

Chiron froze before a rush of magical energy swirled around him. Glass cracked and his eyes hardened as he shifted into his true form.

"Where," he hissed, "Where are they?"

"Calm down Archer," Tsukauchi said, "I've got a team ready for a raid…"

There was some noise on the other end of the line before the detective spoke up again. "Meet All Might, Endeavor, Edgeshot, Kamui Woods, Gran Torino and myself outside the bar near the Niku sign in the Kamino Ward."

"Not very specific, but I'll meet you there," he growled before he hung up.

He tossed his phone back onto the table before he vanished in a shower of golden sparks.

(x)

His pacing was agitating everyone outside the bar. Tsukauchi and Endeavor were both watching his shadow pace as he moved from one area to the next on top of the building next to the bar. The officers outside were growing agitated as well.

It wasn't long before All Might, Eadgeshot, Kamui Woods and Gran Torino arrived.

"Ready?" Tsukauchi asked the pros and Edgeshot responded by folding his body so thin it was impossible to see. The ninja-like hero took off, slipping through the doors and defenses unnoticed.

All Might and Kamui Woods leaped up to where Chiron was waiting, the blonde hero just barely giving him a nod. Gran Torino joined them not a moment later, grimacing at the dark look on the Archer's face.

It wasn't a secret that Chiron wasn't happy.

He had been briefed on the plan by Tsukauchi as soon as he arrived, and logically speaking he knew that he was better suited for ranged support. But he still felt the need to be up there with them for the initial attack.

Endeavor felt the same way, flexing his fingers as he grasped an invisible lance before releasing it.

All Might shifted and Chiron raised his bow.

"Go," he said, seeing the barest hint of Edgeshot's red scarf from a crack in the wall. The signal was sent.

All Might leaped forwards, smashing through the wall of the bar with a signature cry of "SMASH!"

Kamui Woods leaped after him, arms extended as the debris cleared and his wooden limbs entrapped the villains in the bar. "Lacquered Chains Prison!"

Gran Torino rocketed from his spot next to him as one of the Villains started to ignite with blue flames. It only took one kick to the head from the older man to send the scarred man into a dazed slump.

He let a breath out, firing off arrows and pinning the clothes of the villains whose clothes allowed it to any surface they were near to.

"This time around we won't be careless," Edgeshot said as he slipped into the room, resuming a more 3D form before he opened the door. "The pizza delivery is not just us," the Ninja Hero said as the special police force was spotted outside the door.

Endeavor's heat flared and Chiron managed a slightly amused smile to slip past his mask of rage. His eyes landed on Gray, whose hood was down and a golden glow was in her hand. Bakugou was also in a fighting stance, though it was dropped as All Might turned to him.

Gray didn't relax, shoulders tense as she shifted her footing. Chiron didn't lower his bow, eyes narrowed.

"IM NOT SCARED! I'M FUCKING CALM, DAMMIT!" Bakugou yelled and Gray just gave the blonde man a sheepish smile. Even from his position, he could hear all the yelling.

"KUROGIRI!" Shigaraki yelled, "BRING OVER AS MANY AS YOU CAN!"

"The nomu right?" Chiron asked as he leaped into the room, bow still in hand.

He gave Kurogiri and Shigraki a chilling smile and he was certain that they finally realized how much shit they had gotten themselves in.

It helped that none of the nomu that Shigaraki requested were making an appearance.

"What are you waiting for!?" the white-haired villain hissed and Kamui Woods tightened his bonds on Kurogiri.

"I- I'm sorry, Shigaraki Toumra," the warpgate villain said, "The nomus should be at a set location, but they're not there!"

"They aren't there!?"

"You really are just a child," Chiron sighed as he wrapped his arm around Gray's shoulders. He felt her relax just a bit, Add returning to his cube form.

"You, League of Villains, underestimated far too many things," All Might said, protectively placing a hand on Bakugou's shoulder.

"Indeed... This boy's spirit, this girl's determination, the diligent investigation of the police force…. and our fury." Chiron's eyes flashed as he spoke, the rage of the son of Kronos evident in his eyes as he gazed at the villains evenly. A sudden pressure seeming to exude from the Servant made a few of the villains gasp and a couple of the glasses in the bar cracked.

"I hope you realize what you've done," He continued, his smile not leaving his face as he gazed at them.

"No more games," All Might added, "It ends here, Shigaraki Tomura!"

"All Might! This is the hero that Stain was after—" a lizard-like villain gasped and Shigaraki leaned forwards.

"It ends here, you say…?" he hissed, "Don't joke with me when we've only gotten started! Justice, peace… this rubbish heap society capped by such vague concepts… I will destroy it and I'll start by removing the cap that is All MIght! I'll take down you too, Archer! I've only just begun to gather comrades! Kurogi—!"

The white-haired villain was cut off as Edgeshot pierced through the warpgate villain.

The shadowy man slumped over.

"Gyaah!? What just happened!? I couldn't see anything! Did they just kill him!?" one of the villains asked before Edgeshot snaked out from his folded position, his head reappearing.

"I just played around with his insides a little bit," the hero told her loftily, "He won't die. This one was the most troublesome of them all. Such a nuisance."

Chiron tore his eyes from the villains as Gran Torino started talking, feeling Gray start to tremble, her hands curling into his tunic.

"Gray?" he asked softly, gazing down at her.

The Assassin Class Servant swallowed, sweat beading her forehead as Shigaraki started screeching.

Something was wrong.

"S-Sen-sei—" she whimpered before black liquid bubbled up from past her lips. At once, Nomu burst into the room, seeming to come from a similar liquid and the liquid from Gray's lips started to envelop her. Chiron tightened his grip on her, eyes widening.

"Gray!"

"They just keep appearing!"

"Edgeshot, I thought you had him contained!"

"It's not him! He's not doing anything!"

A strangled cry left Gray before she vanished— warped away by another. Bakugou wasn't too far behind as All Might grasped at empty air.

"Bakugou—!"

Yells from outside made Chiron break from where he was staring at the black liquid.

"Take care of everything in here!" he told Gran Torino, pushing down the dread that built in his stomach as he leaped out of the hole in the bar's wall. Nomu were bursting from portals made of the liquid and onto the street. Tsukauchi, Endeavor, and the police were having a hard time containing them, the police firing rounds at them as Endeavor blasted them with flames, Tsukauchi ducking out of the way and firing his own handgun.

"Endeavor! I release the seal on the Noble Phantasm I've granted you! Use the flames of the sun that the Legend Karna has granted you Mastery over!" he yelled as he released his arrows, skillfully missing the police but laying waste to the Nomu.

"No need to say it twice!" the Flame Hero roared as the golden-colored lance appeared in his hand.

"Just— be careful!" the Archer added as he landed, firing another round of arrows at the Nomu nearby.

"Archer! I can't get in contact with Jeanist!" Tsukauchi called, "What about Rider!?"

Chiron stiffened before he extended his senses.

Astolfo's spirit signature was still there, weak, but there.

"Alive!" the Archer reported, dodging a swipe from an airborne nomu. He easily brought it down with an arrow through the eye and into the brain.

"Head that direction! The operation failed!" the detective added and Chiron nodded, glancing over his shoulder at All Might. The blonde nodded a bit as well before he left in a burst of speed.

Chiron took off after him, easily matching All Might's speed.

"I'm releasing the seal on the Noble Phantasm I've granted you," he called over the wind, "You have the sword of the Dragon Slayer Siegfried at your fingertips! Use it when the time is right! I'm going on ahead of you! Don't take too long!"

The Archer didn't wait for a response as he took off with another burst of speed.


The fight's begun. Originally it was just going to be Bakugou but I needed an excuse to get every one of the Servants onto the battlefield at all once. Gray vanishing with Bakugou, Astolfo being with Jeanist, and Chiron arriving would bring them all there at the same time. Or you know, close to the same time.
