"To put this simply: we have failed."
The teachers of UA all hung their heads in shame at the proclamation given by Principal Nezu, none spoke out against him, for all of them knew that he was right.
"We could not guarantee the safety of our students, and because of this our students were once again put into harms way, with several having to be treated for serious bodily injury." Nezu sighed, "the blame is on UA as a whole and sets a premise on what must be done so something like this never happens again."
"I think we should address the elephant in the room," Snipes said, "before it was just guessing, but now it's clear: we have a spy in our midst."
"But who?" Midnight asked, leaning forward, "there weren't many who knew where the training camp was going to be."
"It could've been one of the students," Cementoss said, voice uncertain "It wouldn't of been too hard for them to share their location once they arrived-"
"And it's not like we don't have a prime suspect in class 1A." a third year teacher muttered.
"You're talking about Midoriya," Present Mic said, glancing over to Aizawa, looking more tired and haggard then he'd ever been before, staring despondently at the table, "how many times are you people gonna try and use the kids past as a reason to get him expelled-"
"-He knew one of the villains at the USJ, and reportedly told Aizawa that he knew one of the villains behind this attack, there's no way this can be a coincidence."
"Midoriya has done nothing but show that he's not a villain," All-Might said, standing up, "he's one of the top students in his class, and has even shown the world at large that he has what it takes to be a hero."
"We know that-" another teacher began, trying to placate All-Might.
"-then why do you continue to scrutinize him?" All-Might demanded to know, "why treat him like a villain when he has shown to the contrary!?"
"He's under scrutinization from several top heroes almost round the clock," Midnight added, "for god sakes Aizawa trains him!"
"As does the dragon of the west!" yet another teacher shouted, "does anyone else find it convenient the boy has a retired Super Villain train him!?"
"Uncle is no supervillain yo!" Mic snapped, "he's a tea shop owner! And he's already served his time! If anything you're sounding a lot like a mole, trying to make us turn on the student that was kidnapped."
The table devolved into bickering, with teachers trying to talk over each other and gain control of the chaos.
Then a loud CRUNCH! Had everyone fall silent and look to Aizawa, the man was now on his feet, his fist embedded into the table from when he had punched it; slowly he pulled his fist out, now bloody from shards of wood, he was breathing heavily; his bloodshot eyes looking over all of the slightly concerned teachers, "How dare you…" he whispered, his voice shaking with barely contained rage, "our student gets kidnapped by villains, and you suggest he's apart of them? You should be ashamed of yourselves!"
"He was on the fast track to be a villain before UA-"
Aizawa's other fist slammed into the table, not breaking through, but denting the wood, "HE'S MY SON AND DESERVES TO BE TREATED FOR HIS CURRENT ACTIONS, NOT HIS PAST." with that Aizawa strode angrily out of the room, slamming the door behind him.
Nezu sighed as he rubbed his eyes, "the point is: we cannot start accusing each other, the only thing we can do is make sure our students will be taken care of. I'll be implementing several new safety measures that i've been considering for some time, I would like to go over everything with those present."
The teachers got to work, none of them bringing up Izuku as a traitor again.

The Tokoba Municipal Hospital was a flurry of activity, with doctors busily going from one patient to another doing what they could to help, on the second floor, in a small waiting room, sat the three uninjured students of Class 1B, they had finished visiting their unconscious classmates and Tetsutetsu, who would be getting released the next day.
"Typical that our class was the most targeted," Monoma sneered to his classmates, "while 1A gets out with minimal injury."
"That's not true and you know it Monoma," Kendo said pointedly, resting a comforting hand on Yui who had begun to sniffle, the usually quiet girl was subdued, with dark rings around her blood shot eyes and tearstains down her cheeks, "you saw the injured for Class 1A, they're wounds were a lot more serious than gas inhalation."
Monoma sneered and looked away.
"Hey guys."
The three looked up to see class 1A, missing a few members including Yaoyorozu, Hagakure and Jirou, "you guys good?" Kirishima asked, stepping forward.
"We're hanging in there," Kendou sighed, "what's the word on your people?"
"Hagakure and Kyoka are still under," Mina said in a subdued voice, "Yaoyorozu will be released later tonight, Bakugo and Todoroki are signing out now."
"Any word on-" Kendo hesitated, looking at Yui helplessly as she began to curl in on herself.
"Nothing." Kirishima said, crossing his arms as the others looked away, "listen, there's something I found out when we left Yaoyorozu's room."
He began to tell them about the tracker Momo had planted on that Nomu creature, and how she had created a locator for the police to find it.
"I'm going to ask Momo if she'd be willing to create another one so we can go and get Midoriya ourselves."
"What?"
Everyone looked to Yui, who had finally lifted her head up to stare at Kirishima, "what did you just say?" she asked hoarsely.
"I said, we can go get Midoriya ourselves!" Kirishima said strongly, fighting to keep his voice below a whisper, "come on, we can't just leave him out there!"
"But we don't have permission to use our quirks." Sero said, "what good would we do?"
"I'm saying screw permission, this is Midoriya guys, we can't-"
"You can and you will."
As one, everyone turned around to stare at Bakugo, limping towards them with the support of Uraraka, beside them Shoto was walking with his head down, his hands in his pockets.
"What do you mean I can and I will?" Kirishima growled, stalking towards Bakugo, "You can't tell me you're okay with leaving Izuku out there!"
"Of course I'm not happy you idiot." Bakugo said, his voice barely contained in a quiet snarl, "I was there when we fucking failed to save him, and I hate to admit it but we can't fucking match with that blue fire bastard."
"But MIdoriya-" Kirishima started,
"Izuku wouldn't forgive himself if you're caught and punished, or worse killed. Yui said softly, gently cutting Kirishima off, "Especially after Hosu."
Todoroki's shoulders shook slightly and Iida paled at the reminder.
"The mutes right Kirishima," Bakugo said, making Kirishima focus on the explosion user, covered in gauze with a scar carving into the right side of his face, just catching the edge of his tired, red rimmed eyes, "Deku would fuck you up just for suggesting it."
"I...when the fighting started I was stuck in a classroom back at camp while all of you risked your lives…" Kirishima began, his voice subdued and shaky, "I felt useless, if I can't help my friends then what kind of man am I? I can't just sit on the sidelines and wait while our friend is in the grip of these villains!"
"But if we ignore the law then we're just like the villains." Tsuyu said bluntly, "not to mention Midoriya sacrificed himself to give us a chance to escape, we can't let that be in vain by putting ourselves in danger again."
"I'm sorry Kirishima," Shoto finally spoke up, still not looking up as he fought to keep his emotions in check, "I know what you're feeling, believe me I do, but we'd do more harm than good in this situation."
Kirishima's shoulders slumped, "I don't like it…" he muttered, bowing his head.
"You don't have to," Bakugo said gruffly, putting a reassuring hand on his shoulder, "none of us do."

Tsukauchi strode into the briefing room, noting the amount of heavy muscle they were pulling out for this Op, with several top ten heroes as well as notable top fifties sitting behind the seasoned SWAT officers, All-Might was standing at the front awaiting him with several Hero Association analysts. "Lets get to it," he said as he stepped up to the podium, setting his paperwork down, "our objectives have been chosen through months of police work and honest luck." he pulled out a small remote and pressed a button, making a projector turn on.
The first of our targets is a bar in the older area of Downtown Kamino, we've had multiple citings of League members coming and going from this location, this is where we suspect they'll be holding their captive, Izuku Midoriya," another push of the button and pictures of the bar from various angles and a picture of Izuku. His mugshot from the JDC.
"They couldn't get a better picture?" All-Might grumbled to Tsukauchi.
"It was the only one they had other than from when hewas four." he whispered back, then turned back to the briefing, "the other site is one we acquired by use of a tracking device class 1A's vice president was able to get on one of the Nomu creatures, leading us to building in the warehouse district." he clicked the button and the pictures changed to a map of the warehouse district, a single warehouse marked out amongst all the others. "We believe this is where the majority of the creatures called Nomu will be, Our attack will be a two pronged assault on these locations, capture is the highest priority after the safety of Izuku Midoriya."
"That kid saved a lot of people in Hosu," Edgeshot said, "I think we should return the favor now."
"Glad we're all in agreement!"
Tsukauchi looked towards the door, surprised to find Pakku and Tatsumoto walking into the room, both in their old hero uniforms, Tatsumoto's green and black gi a welcoming sight to many who had worked with the man before he retired.
"Whiplash, Zephyr, I was unaware you were assigned to this case." Tsukauchi said, surprise evident in his voice.
"We assigned ourselves," Zephyr said with a genial smile, "at the request of a mutual friend of ours."
Tsukauchi's eyes widened as a familiar figure walked through the door, clad in red shaded robes and Samurai like armor was Iroh Sawron, the infamous Dragon of the West.
"I renewed my provisional heroes license with the help of an old friend from China, who is on his way even now," Iroh said, stepping forward, any appearance of the fat old teashop owner was gone, in his stead stood a stout man with dragonfire shining in his eyes, "and my Parole officer was most agreeable once my friend Tatsumoto spoke on my behalf."
"We should be throwing you back into Tartarus Old man.' Endeavor growled, standing, "and with these two old hacks for co-conspirating this."
"I'd like to see you try matchstick." Pakku sneered.
"Enough both of you." All-Might commanded, stepping forward, "I myself will vouch for these three."
"Agreed." Edgeshot said, "Pakku was my mentor, if he made this call, then it must be the right one."
"If we're all in agreement?" Tsukauchi spoke up, getting a general nod of heads save for Endeavor who just scoffed, "alright, glad you three will be joining us."
"The pleasure, is ours." Iroh said, "these villains will know the fear that the Dragon of the West can inspire."
WVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVW
Izuku forced himself to breathe evenly even as hsi body shook with shivers, his fingers were pale and achy, and frost clung to his hair; the only thing staving off frostbite were his even breathes that stroked the embers of his quirk under the suppression cuffs.
He'd been in the freezer for the better part of two days, well into the third. They had pulled him out only twice in that time, both were to once again extend Shigaraki's offer.
Izuku only offered them a shaky "fuck you" both times.
But he didn't know how much longer he could last, it was getting harder and harder to keep his breath even, with the cold biting deeper and deeper into his limbs as the minutes trickled on.
Dimly he wondered if they knew where he was, if they were on their way now to free him; or if they had written him off as a lost cause.
"Pops wouldn't let them," he said with an achy chuckle, "neither would Bakugo...hope that dumb fuck doesn't try to come for me himself." he jolted as he heard the door latch unlock.
A plan began to from in his mind as he was once again pulled out of the freezer and dragged back out to the wooden chair.
"You're looking paler than usual Midoriya," Shigarki cackled as the violently shivering man was dropped in the chair, the boys eyes looked weary and tired and his hands were practically frozen in claws, "I'll be honest, I'm surprised you've lasted this long, normal humans can't handle temperatures like these for long, a couple hours at most; you must really have a powerful quirk if it's still burning even through the suppression cuffs. But it can't last for long, can it?"
Izuku flinched at that, and Shigaraki chuckled, "you're already at your limit aren't you?" he taunted, "tell you what, my offer is still on the table, join us and we can get you some food, let you rest and recover."
"You'll take these off?" Izuku croaked out, barely raising his wrists up to gesture to the suppresssion cuffs.
"I'll take them off right now if you join us." Shigaraki chuckled.
Dabi tensed, Shigaraki couldn't see it, he didn't know Izuku as well as he did, and underneath that pathetic facade he could see Izuku poised and ready to strike.
He said nothing as Shigaraki leaned forward and undid the cuffs.
The meek attitude Izuku had adopted melted away in an instant as red hot fire blasted out of his hands, forcing everyone to take cover save for Dabi who brushed his hand through it without blinking, Izuku was now on his feet, color slowly returning to his limbs as he kept a ring of fire around him, hands at the ready to strike the minute any of them made a move.
"Oh how clever of you," Shigaraki sneered, "but you're all alone here, and weak, I doubt that fire is your strongest, it was hot, but nowhere near the stuff Dabi was talking about; not to mention you're outnumbered, what will you do? Fight all of us on your own? Dabi has already beaten you on his own."
Izuku hesitated, he could easily bolt for the door, but that would leave him open to attack, standing her would only get him so far until one of the other leaguers got antsy.
Before he could decide there was a knock at the door.
"Pizza delivery!"
BOOM!
The wall to Izuku's left exploded in a shower of splinters as All-Might came bursting into the room, "WE ARE HERE!" he boomed out as Kamui woods thrust his hand out.
"PRE-EMPTIVE BINDING: LACQUERED CHAIN PRISON!" he shouted as he restrained all of the league members.
"Big mistake matchstick." Dabi growled, his fire beginning to creep up his hand until Gran Tarino came bolting in, knocking him out.
"Stay down son.' Gran Tarino muttered as he landed and the front door burst open, Edgeshot walking in leading an entire SWAT team.
"Kurogiri-" Shigaraki started, only for Edgeshot to spring into action, flattening down to the minutest of points and stabbing into Kurogiri who let out a groaning sigh as he passed out.
"Can't have you all disappearing." Edgeshot drawled, "don't worry I didn't kill him, just moved his insides around a bit."
"Young Midoriya! Are you alright?" All Might asked worriedly, striding towards the boy who was looking around in disbelief, "Midoriya!"
Izuku turned his gaze to All-Might, there was a panicked light in them, like the boy couldn't believe what he was seeing, "don't worry Young Midoriya, you're safe." All-Might said as he hugged the boy.
Izuku let out a quiet sob as he forced himself to relax, glad to have survived to this point.
"No, no, no, no, no, NO! It wasn't supposed to go this way!" Shigaraki snarled.
"It's over, Tomura Shigaraki," All-Might said as he stood to his full height.
"No, No, No, NO! It's not over!" Shigaraki spat as he struggled against his bonds.
"It is! Now come quietly and-"
"I HATE YOU!" Shigaraki screamed as suddenly sprays of black liquid began to gush out of the league of villains' mouths.
"What is this!?" Gran Tarino shouted as one by one the villains disappeared, "Edge! Stop Kurogiri!"
"He's still out!" Edge exclaimed as he jumped away, "This isn't him!"
"Master…" Shigarki whispered in reverence as he two disappeared.
"All-Might!" Izuku shouted as he too began to disappear, the young boy reaching out towards the number one hero in panic, "All-Might help!"
"Young Midoriya!" All-Might cried out as he jumped towards the boy, his hands closing around thin air as Izuku disappeared, "NO!"
Izuku let out a gasp as he was deposited onto ashy dirt, forcing himself to his feet as he looked around in horror at the defeated heroes around him, "Mt. Lady...Best Jeanist…" he whispered as his eyes roamed over their prone, unconscious bodies before looking to Shigaraki, who was bowed in front of a man in a dark mask floating above the carnage, the remnants of a destroyed building smoking lazily behind him.
"You failed again Tomura Shigaraki," The man rumbled out, "but that's alright, fail and try again as many times as it takes." the man's head came up, appearing to stare at Izuku as the firebender took a hesitant step back, his aching arms coming up in a sloppy defensive stance, "Izuku Midoriya," the man said as he floated towards him, "you've made quiet a name for yourself in the last six months, worthy of being called a true hero, but that ends today, Young Shigaraki, claim your prize."
A sonic boom had the league scrambling to keep their footing as All For One turned and caught All Mights initial attack, wind pressure buffeting his suit and everything around it.
"I'll have you return my student, All For One." All Might spat as he strained against his foes fist.
"Come to kill me again? All Might!?" All For One sneered as he sent All Might flying with a punch.
"All Might!" Izuku shouted as he jumped back, dodging Shigaraki's attack as he roared, orange flames bathing the area before Mr. Compress was at his side, a roundhouse kick sent the man flying back as Izuku dodged Toga's knife, snarling as Shigaraki and Spinner charged in.
"Young Midoriya!" All Might shouted as he rushed back in, aiming straight for Shigaraki.
"Worry not, Tomura Shigaraki" All For One said, a taunting lilt to his voice as he appeared in front of All Might and blasting him away with an air bullet, "Because I am here!"
"Damn it," Izuku growled lowly as he once again jumped back, trying to keep his distance as Spinner drove his sword forward, inches away from impaling the young firebender.
A whip of water put a stop to that as it wrapped around the lizard man's neck and sent him flying away.
"The League of Villains."
Izuku couldn't believe his eyes as water rushed forward, forcing many of the leaguers back as Pakku slid down a mound of rubble to Izuku's side, his whole body moving fluidly as he brought the water back to from several whips around him, "a bunch of no name thugs."
"I believe it's time to remind them why no Villain group has ever lasted more than a few months." Tatsumoto said as he flew in on his glider, landing atop the mound of rubble.
"The tides have changed,"
Izuku felt hope well in him as Uncle blasted himself through the air to come to a rest in front of Izuku, billowing fire out his nostrils as he adopted a defensive stance, "the cavalry has arrived." Iroh proclaimed, "you will surrender yourself to the Dragon of the West."
"Kill them!" Shigaraki shouted, making the other leaguers charge forward, "Twice!"
"What!? On it!" Twice shouted as he held his hand out and Dabi sprang from the earth, who sent a wave of blue fire at Iroh.
Iroh parted it with his hands and retaliated with several jabs of flames as Izuku jumped over him and engaged Dabi directly, his flames forcing the copy to retreat as Pakku surged forward, water whips keeping Shigaraki and Toga back, meanwhile Tatsumoto was flying through the sky, dodging thrown marbles from Mr. Compress that would explode into rubble as he canceled his quirk, Magne was trying to help Twice and Clone Dabi fight the two firebenders, who were now working in tandem, Izuku guarding Iroh from flames as the former villain slipped past Magne's Magnet and blasting her with flames, knocking her unconscious before using flames to jump over Izuku and bring a hard axle kick down on the clone's shoulder, making it splatter into the mud it was formed from.
"Izuku!" Iroh shouted as All For One and All Might traded blows in the sky, "get out of here! We'll hold them off as long as we can!"
"But what about-" Izuku began, stopping as an explosion filled the air and a cackling old man came flying out of the earth, far more muscular than any old man had a right to be as he sent giant boulders at All For One.
"Quake in fear at the power of the MAD KING BUMI! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"Bumi," Iroh said softly, grinning as he blasted Magne with fire, making her jump behind some rubble for cover, "Go Izuku! We'll be alright!"
Izuku hesitated one last moment, "Don't die," he said as he took off to the north.
"Stop him!" Shigaraki shouted, turning to run after Izuku, only to be slammed by a wall of water and frozen.
"Your fight is with me Young man," Pakku said pointedly as his water whip wrapped around Twice and sent him flying into a disoriented Spinner.
"Another loss," All For One mused as he turned and sent All-Might flying with a punch, Before extending his fingers and wrapping them around Bumi, tossing him straight up in the air, "no matter!" he turned his fingers towards Kurogiri, the tips extending and stabbing into the unconscious man, "Forced quirk activation!" All For One proclaimed, making a portal appear as he turned on the three Pros, "Air Cannon!"
Three rapid air bullets slammed into the old men, sending them back as All For One once again activated forced quirk activation on Magne, making them fly towards Toga.
"No! Master!" Shigaraki shouted as he began to fall into the portal.
"Continue on Shigaraki." All For One called, 'restart as many times as you need, I believe in you.'
With that the portal closed. Leaving All For One alone with Iroh and his compatriots.
"All For One," Pakku muttered as he slowly got back to his feet, helping Iroh up as Tatsumoto landed beside him, "I never believed my grandfather when he spoke of him."
"A myth taken true form.' Tatsumoto said grimly.
'Come now!" All For One called to them, "don't heroes jump head first into danger?"
"He took on All-Might without breaking a sweat, we can't match that power." Pakku said as Iroh began to stride towards All For One."
"Maybe not, but we can hold him off until All-Might returns," Iroh said, planting his foot firmly onto the rubble and bringing his hands up as Tatsumoto took to the air and Pakku followed his lead, "Together.'
All For One easily dodged their initial attack, dissipating Iroh's fire and dodging the surge of waves that Pakku sent at him while also easily keeping up with Tatsumoto as the man flew through the air, hitting him with high speeds winds that All For One would counter with Air Bullet, their fight getting interrupted by fire and water, "the Administrator, trying to steer the fallen to the path of righteousness." All For One said as he suddenly rushed Tatsumoto, a single punch sent him streaking across the sky, crashing through a building before coming to a stop on the street, unmoving.
"Tatsumoto!" Pakku shouted, his eyes sharpening, "you son of a bitch!" He roared as the water around him suddenly disappeared, reappearing as droplets of water floating in the air before, with a breath, they froze into jagged spikes that Pakku sent flying towards All For One.
All For One laughed as he easily dodged the water, "the teacher, training the new generations.' he called as he leveled his hand, "Rivet stab."
Pakku let out a scream of pain as All For One's fingers stabbed into his chest.
"You have a worthy quirk, Whiplash." All For One taunted as he raised the man off the ground, ready to strip him of his quirk and leave him for dead.
"NO!" Iroh roared, the flames from his mouth searin All For One's hand and forcing him to let Pakku go as he withdrew his fingers with a cry of pain.
"Pakku," Iroh called as he ran to his friends side, the man was barely breathing and bleeding out on the ground, the old man raised his hand and clasped Iroh's as he reached him.
"Run…." Pakku gasped out before he lost consciousness.
"The pretender,"
Iroh looked up, his eyes burning with rage as he turned to stand against All For One.
"The Pretender." All For One sneered, spreading his arms wide, "I remember you! The so-called Dragon who could not stomach his brother's blood lust; Tell me, oh Mighty Dragon, how does it feel to fail at killing your own brother?"
Iroh's eyes widened in shock, "Ozai, is alive?" he whispered before All For One appeared before him, driving his fist into his gut and sending him flying back into the rubble, bloodied and broken.
"How the mighty dragon falls," All For One laughed as Iroh slowly forced himself to his feet, only to be slapped away again, this time his shoulder was impaled by rebar, making Iroh scream.
"Goodbye, Mighty Dragon."
"TEXAS SMASH!"
The heavy handed punch from All-Might sent All For One flying as Bumi rushed to his friends, moving earth and rubble to move them out of the fight.
"GET THEM SOMEWHERE SAFE BUMI!" All Might shouted as the man ran, his friends in tow, "I'll handle this!"

Izuku slowly staggered into the hospital, Kamui woods keeping him steady as he walked forward with dead eyes, focused only on putting his feet in front of him.
"Izuku."
Izuku looked up, his eyes gaining a small spark of life as he turned around, staring at Yui as she came running towards him from the entrance; Izuku stepped forward but his legs gave out as Yui reached him, catching him as they both fell to their knees.
"You're back," She whispered, trying to pull away to look him over, but Izuku's embrace was strong, he held her as his shoulders began to shake, "izuku," she mumbled as a choked sob escaped the boy, "it's okay Izuku I'm here," she said as he sobbed, venting all the anger, fear and frustration of the last five days in the middle of the Hospital lobby.
Neither saw All Might's last moments as the number one hero, neither watched him raise his fist to the sky in victory or proclaim it was their time, instead they spent the night holding each other. Reassuring themselves that it was finally over.

The Next Day
Pakku slowly limped into a small hospital room, looking at the three occupants.
"Pakku," Tatsumoto greeted, trying to give the man a smile, but sitting in a wheelchair and covered in gauze, it didn't seemed to fall flat, "thought you were still unconscious."
"It was touch and go for a second," Pakku said, grimacing as he settled down in a nearby chair, giving Bumi a nod as he did, "but you'll need to do more than five puncture wounds through my vital organs to get rid of me." he looked to the last Occupant of the room, his shoulders falling dejectedly, "how is he?"
Bumi looked up, then back down to Iroh, "he was basically a bag of shattered bones when I got to him yesterday," he muttered, "most of his internal organs were damaged in some way, plus the impalement on a piece of rebar...doctors say he slipped into a coma after all those surgeries, personally I think he was lucky to survive.'
"We were outmatched," Tatsumoto said grimly, "had it been Nomu I believe we would have been effective, but All For One…"
Did you hear what he said to Iroh?" Bumi asked Pakku quietly.
"Last thing I remember is telling Iroh to run." Pakku said with a shake of his head.
"Ozai is still alive."
Both men immediately tensed, "The Fire Lord...no, impossible, he was killed by Iroh during the fall of the Caldera Syndicate!"
"Obviously not." Bumi muttered, crossing his arms, "I looked into it after you all were safe, Ozai's body was never recovered." he stood, popping his neck, "the Fire Lord is still alive, and with All For One Gone, I doubt they'll be keeping quiet for long."
"Iroh's defeated him before," Pakku pointed out.
"In his youth, he's been complacent for years now," Bumi scoffed, "the old codger was out of form last night, and I doubt Ozai's been lying low because he gave up on villainy; no, this won't be a battle of brothers," he looked at Iroh, "and that's what worries me."
