The water was cold as he plunged into it. It was the bone chilling type of cold. The type of cold that makes you're body literally stop working as it tries to compute what the in the world just happened.

He sits there for a moment, the sting from hitting the water not really registering, along with literally everything else as well. The light from the surface slowly fading, the air bubbles that passed through his open lips, the villains swimming straight towards him...

...Wait what?

Fear slams into him and he finds himself scrambling for the surface. But it's so far away, and the lack of oxygen was already starting to affect him.

The villain might have looked slightly familiar, but it didn't matter. Either way, the fact that he was a spy for them clearly didn't matter in the slightest. He was going to die anyway.

...Except he didn't.

The water around him pushed and swirled around him as something suddenly came torpedoing into the villain.

Looking up, he saw the green figure of Asui pushing off the now immobilized villain. She looked up and met his gaze, "Hey Midoriya!" Her tongue launched out of her mouth and wrapped around him. He wasn't going to lie, it was weird to have a tongue binding him, but at the same time he found he didn't really care. It was going to save his life after all!

She shot towards the surface, dragging him with her. He found himself being lifted out of the water by the raw strength of a tongue and being set onto the deck of the large boat. It unwrapped from around his body and he watched as the tongue moved like it had a mind of its own. He shuddered.

Mineta was slammed down next to him a moment later, but Izuku didn't pay any attention to him as he sat up. He struggled onto his feet and shuddered at how the wind chilled his damp thing. His clothes clung uncomfortably to his body, but otherwise he was completely fine. He felt a wave of appreciation wash over him. Asui was climbing up the side of the boat.

"You saved my life, Asui."

Her head popped up from the edge of the boat, "I told you to call me Tsu."

She clamored over the rest of the railing as he spluttered and tried to correct his mistake.

After waiting for him to stop, she continued on, "This is turning out to be a terrible day of class."

"Yeah," he nodded, "I can't stop thinking about what K-that villain said." He hoped she didn't notice his slip up. "They knew our whole schedule and who would be here. They must have gotten into school files while we were stuck in the cafeteria. The teachers were busy trying to get the media off school grounds." He glanced at Asui, "That means that they've been waiting for the perfect opportunity to attack, just like Todoroki said they were."

Of course, it's not like he didn't already know all of this. He figured that they would still kill him if he let the secret slip. Why would they go through so much trouble if they didn't still need him for something? After all, he still hadn't given them any of the information that he had gathered about his classmates.

His stomach churned at that thought. Maybe... he shouldn't be getting so close to his classmates. It would only hurt him in the end-

He shook those thoughts away. Now was not the time. He would just have to sort that out later.

Mineta quickly jumped into the conversation and Izuku was painfully reminded that he was there, "Hey, hold on just one second! It's not like these guys can really kill All Might." He turned and started weakly punching the air, "Once he shows up, he'll pound these guys until there's nothing left!"

"Think about it though," Izuku turned back to Asui, "If the villains spent so much time planning this attack, then they probably figured out a way to kill him."

He flinched at that thought. Izuku didn't want All Might to die, never has, but he knew that if anybody had the power to actually try, it was the League of Villains. Just the Nomu would be challenging on its own, but with everyone else as well, All Might was certainly at a heavy disadvantage.

Asui continued, "And didn't you hear what that smoke guy said? Maybe we should worry more about not getting tortured to death. Otherwise we might not survive long enough to see All Might again." Izuku glanced at the now shaking Mineta, "And even if he does show up, who knows if even he'll make it out in one piece."

Mineta looked downright terrified as he turned to Izuku, "No! The pros are going to save us, right?! Tell frog boobs to shut up!"

Asui turned to him with a slightly offended, "Ribbit." Izuku couldn't help it. A giggle escaped him.

The sound of rushing water caught their attention, right before the yelling did. "You bastards! I'll enjoy eating you!"

Mineta freaked out, "Hwaah! Bad guys!"

He knew why they were here, and why they wanted to kill All Might. He could have figured that out even without being in the situation he was. But that didn't matter. He needed to help his classmates. They were in trouble and needed his help. If the League questioned him about it later, then he would just say he was staying in character. For now, he needed to be a hero, not the villain he was forced to be.

Izuku clinched his hand into a fist as determination steeled his nerves, "If they can beat him, then we have to stop whatever it is they're planning. We have to work together and keep All Might safe. No one at Yuuei knows what's happening. This is up to us. Let's be heroes!"

They looked at him and nodded. Izuku smiled, "Now listen up, I've got a plan."
