Midoriya hit the gym harder than he had ever hit it before. It wasn't particularly safe, being alone this late at night, but he was fearful of what he'd be made to do if he got back to the dorms. He knew what might be waiting for him in his room. It was bad enough with just two of his friends. Now Mina was roped into all of this and it was all his fault. He had even enjoyed the date, despite the circumstances…
His face was already red with exertion, but he felt a blush overcome him nonetheless
You're wasting time here. C'mon, let's go have fun with our new toy!
"Mina," He grunted as he lifted the bar, "Is not a toy!"
You're all toys to me. Now, C'mon. I want a celebratory fuck. We beat off my dumb brother and I- wait, that came out wrong… Whatever. C'mon, I want an orgy! Finish up, already!
Izuku ignored her, trying to think of a way to avoid violating Mina. It was bad enough he was starting to think he might like her. That he was staring to think he might like Momo. What would they think if they knew? He had to keep this to a minimum. There was a temptation there, the temptation to give up and let Brain-Jacker do whatever she wanted. He could cast all the blame on her and indulge in all of the dark pleasures she forced on him. But it wouldn't be right. It was the farthest thing from right. It was evil.
He grunted again as he began to fail his set. But before he did, he allowed just 1% of One for All to surge through his body, and he completed the set just fine. That actually was something he wanted to do in the future. Use his quirk to work out. He had a hunch it would allow him to master One for All faster if he treated it like a muscle. After all, you got better at using your quirk the more you used it right?
He got up off the bench, bone-tired. He was hoping his exhaustion was contagious to the parasite he hosted. But from her enthusiastic calls for him to once more sully the honor of not only himself, but his friends, he guessed not.
He didn't bother changing out of his gym uniform as he headed out.
What should he do? Could he go somewhere other than the dorms? Maybe if he just laid down and slept in the bushes… No, she'd just kill him if he did that.
But then a thought entered his head. A thought that for a moment he wondered if Brain-Jacker had put there. Only for him to realize that it wasn't something she'd do. He wondered briefly if it was selfless or the epitome of selfishness.
What if he killed himself?
Goo had said that she couldn't live inside corpses. If he killed himself, away from other people, she would have to expose herself. If he did it in front of the cameras… or in front of one of the teachers… they'd see her. They'd know. He swallowed nervously, was he really thinking about this?
How would All Might feel? He had been trusted to carry on the man's legacy. If he died, then was everything he had accomplished so far meaningless? Would he be disappointing the man? And what about his poor mother? She'd be crushed. But she wouldn't want her boy to be a rapist either.
He wouldn't hurt Momo or Ochaco anymore if he did it. And he wouldn't have to hurt Mina either. He knew what they had said, but he wondered if it all wasn't just a trick. Something Brain-Jacker wanted him to hear. He grit his teeth. Was it selfless or selfish? Should he really…
He looked back at the gym facility's roof. Maybe…
He turned around.
Hey, where are you going?
"I'm going up to the roof."
Why? What's up there?
"I'll show you. It's important."
Really?
"Yeah. It really is. Once we're done… we'll go have some fun."
"Oho! The young man is finally starting to see the benefits! About time. You've been so mopey. Oh, poor me, I have to have sex with lots of pretty girls, boo hoo. That's you. Alright hurry up. I'm horny."
"You're always horny."
Aizawa stalked forward in the dark looking for one Izuku Midoriya. The way he saw it, they should have done this during school hours. It kept him in a predictable place. But he had been vetoed. Whatever. As long as they got to him.
"Eraserhead."
Aizawa put up two fingers to his earpiece.
"Ectoplasm, do you have a visual?"
Back in the UA facilities, in the security room, were several dozen Ectoplasm clones looking over every screen that was connected to one of Powerloader's newly installed cameras. Also standing in the room were All Might, Principal Nezu, Snipe, Vlad King, and Present Mic. Though, that wasn't all.
The security room also functioned as a detainment room. And sitting within a plexiglass prison was Nemuri Kayama. Adjacent to her was another plexiglass prison, housing none other than Rumi Usagiyama. The two were still sporting bruises from their brawl yesterday night, Principal Nezu believing them too dangerous to allow recovery girl near.
Both of them were also shackled at the wrists and ankles and fitted with quirk-suppressant collars.
"This is ridiculous! I'm not some villain in disguise! Let me go! Please! C'mon, at least get me some clothes, I'm still in my underwear." Midnight yelled futilely in her prison.
Mirko only laughed.
"Please, the real Midnight would fight crime naked if the laws allowed her. You're pathetic. And pretty soon, we'll capture all of you."
Principal Nezu turned to the two, his little furry hands behind his back.
"That's right. Though as of this moment we are unsure if Miss Mirko here is also a victim, we believe her deductions are correct. You are a slime-quirk user that is able to enter the bodies of your victims, mind controlling them and observing their every action. From what young Midoriya was able to convey to All Might, with the attack on miss Mirko and the actions of villain, Goo… We are quite certain that this is the case."
All Might stepped closer to the prison cell, a harsh look on his face as he looked at the possessed body of one of his good friends.
"We're having an X-Ray machine brought in just to be sure. We'll be finding out the truth of the matter soon enough when we find young Midoriya and the other poor girls you've possessed. Your wicked game ends here, whoever you are."
Nemuri didn't speak for a few moments, but then she started to laugh.
"I underestimated him. That was my mistake. But don't think this is over, All Might."
The heroes in the room turned to Midnight, looks of worry and anger melded on their faces. They had put the pieces of the puzzle together, but it was still quite off putting to hear those words come from the lips of a trusted friend and hero.
Nemuri licked her lips as she laid back in a relaxed position.
"To think, he could get a message like that past me. It's never happened before… Quite a clever boy. Still, even if you find him, detain him… detain all the pretty girls I have under my sway… what then? Sentence them to a life in prison to keep me from taking anyone else over? That hardly seems fair. Is that your sense of justice?"
Before anyone could respond, Ectoplasm shouted in alarm.
"Eraser! I've found Midoriya!"
"No need to shout. Where is he?"
"He's on top of the roof at Gym Theta!"
"… what's he doing there?"
Nemuri laughed, bringing the attention of everyone towards her again.
"Isn't it obvious? The guilt must have finally gotten to him. Shame really, he was a good fuck. I loved teasing him."
"What do you mean, what guilt?" All Might asked.
But Mirko understood. She remembered the text messages on the phone.
"Everyone! I know what's going on! Her powers work differently on men than on women! She can control women's bodies directly, but it seems she can't do that with men! Izuku is fully aware of what's happening! Check his phone! I know you took it from me before you put me in here!"
"Oh please," Nemuri interjected. "No need for that. I'll just tell all of you. I've been making cute little Izuku rape Momo Yaoyorozu and Ochaco Uraraka. He's been feeling sooo guilty about it lately. Shame, really. This has happened once or twice before. Sometimes men are just too pure for their own good. He's trying to cleanse himself… regain his honor."
"Commit suicide, in other words." Principal Nezu clarified.
The teachers trembled at his words.
All Might turned to the monitors, fear in his eyes. Was Midoriya really going to jump? Kill himself? Midoriya didn't know that he had taken the boy's warnings seriously. He didn't know that he had deciphered their meaning or convinced the other teachers. He had no idea that they just inches away from solving this whole mess.
Please, young Midoriya, don't do it! You want to be a hero, don't you? You want to save people with a smile! That's what you said! Don't let this villain beat you.
Present Mic dashed to the microphone Ectoplasm was using to talk to Eraserhead.
"ERASER! Get your butt in gear, already! We got a jumper!"
"What?! Midoriya's going to-"
"Yeah! So, hurry up and save him! That's your job, isn't it?! As his teacher! As a hero!"
"Damn it."
Aizawa began sprinting as fast as he could. He was close to the gym in question, it shouldn't take him long to get there. He grit his teeth in frustration as he ran, using his capture cloth on the occasional lamppost to pull him forward at a faster rate. He had no time to lose.
Izuku made it to the top of the roof with a sigh. Hopefully, this would work.
So what did you want to show me?
"It's not actually on the roof, this is just a good vantage point."
That so, huh?
Izuku nodded, gripping his fists and narrowing his brow. He felt a surprising calm. A certainty that what he was doing was right. He straightened his back and got closer to the edge of the roof. His breathing steadied.
All of a sudden, he felt a slight tingle in his spine, and his vision seemed faint. The sounds around him grew dim. He felt focused. As if he was finally taking charge of the situation.
Just a few more steps and he would be on the edge.
But then, a horrible pain filled his head, and he doubled over, gripping at his hair.
You thought you could trick me? You're trying to jump, aren't you? C'mon, really? Having sex is really messing you up that bad?
"Its- not that. I can't let you- I can't let you harm any of my friends anymore!"
You think killing yourself won't harm your friends?
"Weren't you always threatening to kill me, anyway? Why do you care?!"
In truth, Izuku's suicide was a bluff. He never intended to follow through with such an action. But he was planning on Brain-Jacker doing this. He had made some keen observations about her behavior, about how she talked to her brother and about herself. She talked a big game, but in the end, Izuku suspected she didn't have it in her to kill anyone. She did horrible things, and was unbelievably cruel and selfish.
But she wasn't a killer.
L-look, kid. I didn't really mean any of it! Calm down, okay? Let's just go see how your friend Mina is doing…
"No! I refuse! I'm done being your puppet! I'm through!"
The headache stopped, and Izuku got back up on shaking feet.
You know, if it isn't you, I'll just find someone else. The truth is, you're saving them in a way. Better someone they know and trust, don't you think? You stop playing along and I'll just find the ugliest, grossest man I can find. You don't want that, do you?
Izuku began walking towards the edge of the roof again. He was stopped by another headache.
I'm serious! What does this accomplish huh? Nothing! Your friends would still be under my control! And let's not forget your teacher! You go splat and then what?!
"And then they investigate."
His headache disappeared.
What do you mean? You're planning something, aren't you?
"If I die, the teachers will investigate why I jumped. There may even be an autopsy. In any case, they'll find evidence of your existence. And that's your greatest power. The fact that you can hide so well. If that's taken from you, then what? Its only a matter of time until you're caught."
That's a lot of wishful thinking. This is Japan, people kill themselves every day. What makes you think your death will lead to me being caught?
"Don't you remember? When I talked to Mr. Aizawa? I mentioned a shapeshifting villain that took the form of a naked Uraraka. That's where they'd start. And, if they do perform an autopsy, then who's to say you make a clean getaway when you leave someone? What if there are little pieces of you still around? No to mention Goo's attack on the mall. If they find out who he is, they'll find out who his sister is, and what she can do."
He took one final step on top of the ledge. He took a deep breath, and looked down.
Wait! Wait, geez. C'mon. OK, ok. Let's make a deal, alright? Let's make a deal.
Izuku could barely keep himself from smiling. It had worked! His plan had worked!
"Here's the deal, then. Leave. You're less likely to be caught if you leave UA right now."
Fat chance. The girls here are way too pretty, and you're quite honestly, the best guy I've ever taken. So here's what's going to happen. I'll give you a break. A week, tops, of no funny business. Then we go back to normal. When I get bored, eventually… I leave. If not, then I'll leave you right now, sure. But your friends will be leaving with me, and you'll never see them again. They'll do all kinds of nasty things in the underbelly of Japan with all sorts of men.
Izuku swallowed. He didn't think that would actually get rid of her. But this new threat of hers… it terrified him. Because he knew she'd do it. She may not be a killer, but she was every bit the nasty disgusting rapist she was threatening to be. It gave him a week though. A week to improve his writing skills and tell everyone what was going on. It would have to be enough.
"Alright. I accept that deal."
Good. Now get off this roof, already. It's making me nervous.
Before Izuku could step down however, the door to the roof slammed open as a heavily panting Aizawa jumped out, scowl on his face. Izuku turned to him surprised. What was going on?
"Midoriya! Don't jump! We have Midnight in custody! We know!"
What?
Izuku's eyes widened in surprise. They knew? Already? But wait, what would Brain-Jacker do if-
YOU TRICKED ME!
Suddenly, Izuku felt another headache, this one worse than any that had come before. Like his head was being boiled alive. He gripped his head and screamed, actually jolting back from the pain. His foot slipped, and then he fell.
Everything seemed to happen in slow motion. Mr. Aizawa sprinting to reach him, his capture cloth snaking out towards him. The slip, and the fall, his eyesight filled with the starry night as he tumbled backwards towards the ground. The headache receding as fast as it came.
Izuku saw above him, a terrified Aizawa, still reaching out. Izuku hadn't actually planned on this. He didn't want to die. He had so much to do. He hadn't done anything yet! He hadn't accomplished anything! He didn't want to die!
"I don't want to die!"
And suddenly, for just a moment, he stopped falling.
Izuku was too confused as to why, but he was… floating?
He didn't have time to think about that, however, as he was wrapped up tightly from head to toe in Aizawa's capture cloth. With a jolt, his miraculous floating ceased, and the cloth was pulled taut. A grunt from above signaled Aizawa's struggle to hold Midoriya.
Suddenly, Midoriya felt a bubbling up from his throat, and a tingling all along his body. He wretched, a great purple slime flowing freely from his mouth to the ground below.
The slime bubbled up and formed the familiar humanoid shape that Izuku had first seen over a week ago now. Brain-Jacker turned up to him, and though she had no face, she spoke with an angry voice.
"Fine, you want to play this way?! Good luck finding your friends ever again! They're coming with me, and I'm going to fulfill my promise!"
"No!"
Midoriya was helpless as Brain-Jacker sprinted off towards the Heights Alliance dorms. He turned his head towards Aizawa who was still straining to hold him.
"Mr. Aizawa! That's the villain who's responsible for all of this! We have to capture her before she gets to the dorms! She's going to take Ochaco, Mina, and Momo away! She said she'd do horrible things to them!"
Mr. Aizawa looked over and saw Brain-Jacker in her gelatinous form. He grunted as he continued pulling Midoriya back up onto the roof. But he also spoke up into his mic.
"Ectoplasm, do you see this?"
"Yeah. I have a visual."
"Get someone fast to round up those girls Midoriya mentioned. We're running out of time."
Cementoss is closest, I have a visual on the villain. He'll intercept them before they reach the dorms.
"Good. You still need to round up the girls. We don't know if this villain's multiple splits can communicate with each other."
"I don't have anyone closer than you, Eraser." Ectoplasm replied.
"They can't! They're copies, not a hive mind!"
Aizawa was surprised at Midoriya's mental acuity for someone who was just about to commit suicide. He heaved one last time and got Midoriya atop the roof.
"Midoriya, are you alright? Were you really trying to commit suicide?"
"No! It was a bluff! I wanted Brain-Jacker to give me time. She was going to make me… do things I didn't want to, and I thought I could trick her into giving me some time. I didn't mean to actually fall!"
"In any other circumstance, I wouldn't believe you, and we'd be headed to counseling. But this is a special, and very serious situation. We need to get to the dorms, and quickly… Listen, Midoriya. I'm going to ask you to do something that you must swear never to tell any of your classmates, understand?"
Midoriya felt the sweat on his brow, his nerves strained more than ever. He'd never felt as stressed as he did in that very moment.
"I understand."
"Good. Now… carry me."
Midoriya nearly fell over on his face before he caught himself.
"W-what?"
"Carry me. We'll get there faster if you do. Power up your quirk as much as you can without killing yourself. We're going to capture this villain tonight, and we need to be quick about it. Think you can handle it?"
Midoriya felt like lightning was coursing through his veins. He looked up at Mr. Aizawa with fierce determination on his face.
"Yes, sir!"
21%, One for All!
Brain-Jacker couldn't believe it. Somehow, somehow that little brat had managed to get a message out! How? It shouldn't have been possible. She had never had this happen ever before. Damn it, she hated being outside a body, she wasn't as fluid as her brother. It was taking way too long to get to the dorms. For all she knew her copies had already been captured. But she couldn't give up, she needed to capture as many of the girls as possible. They were her only leverage!
She skid to a halt as a large slab of concrete rose from the ground and blocked her path.
She looked about, trying to see who had done that. It was some kind of quirk; she was sure of it! And if it was a quirk, it was someone she could control. She spotted him, Cementoss, one of the teachers. He walked out from behind his wall with a scowl on his face. He wasn't her first choice, but beggars couldn't be choosers.
She lunged after him, but he was too fast. He rose another wall, which she tried to get around, only for another wall to block her path. She tried once more, and was likewise thwarted. Soon, without realizing, she found herself surrounded on all sides by concrete walls.
Damnit! There was nowhere to go! She couldn't slip through, there wasn't any cracks! She lifted her head towards the sky, seeing the only path to freedom was up. She stretched her body upward; she could still make it!
But before she could escape, a large slab of concrete blocked her path, isolating her in a concrete cube with no escape.
Cementoss tapped his earpiece.
"Ectoplasm, I've caught the villain. I'll be coming your way soon, get ready."
"Copy that. Containment preparations are complete. Get here as soon as you can."
Though Ectoplasm couldn't see it, Cementoss nodded and got to work. He thrust out his hand and began reshaping his concrete cube prison into a much smaller concrete orb prison. Perfect for rolling around. Soon, what was the size of a small building became the size of a fairly large beach ball.
Cementoss could hear the screeching from inside the concrete orb, but only barely.
"Let me out! I can't breathe! This is hero brutality!"
Cementoss scoffed.
"You don't have lungs and there's no media here to hear your complaints. Save your words for your trial. No one at this school is going to be shedding tears for you."
She quieted, but Cementoss could still hear her mumbling.
With a flash of green lightning, Cementoss nearly fell over on his butt as a green blur ran right past him.
"What was that?!"
"That was Izuku Midoriya and Eraserhead. We aren't done just yet. Hurry up and meet me with the prisoner. We need to get her imprisoned properly ASAP."
Mina wasn't one to cry. Not really. Well, not excessively, and not for silly reasons. Okay, sure she cried during sad movies. And she cried during happy romantic movies, and at cute animal videos. But that was it.
So, it was a really jarring experience to want to cry so much right now. Heroes didn't cry! They stopped other people from crying. So why was it so hard to keep her tears from flowing? She wanted to think of something, anything, that was happy and uplifting. But she was filled with terror at the thought of this stranger in her body, able to make her do or say anything. And apparently, she wanted to do some vey inappropriate things.
Inappropriate things with Izuku Midoriya.
She trembled on her bed as she hugged her knees into herself. She liked Midoriya, sure. He was a cute guy, and he was fun to tease. But she wasn't ready for… that. She knew she was too young for sex. She had been raised properly; she wasn't a pervert. She wasn't a slut.
Oh, you will be, Mina. You will be.
She trembled again. Who was this? Why had they come out of Midori? Was he being held hostage like this too? How long had this thing been inside him if so?
It's been almost two weeks since I met Midoriya. Or 'Midori'. How cute, one little date and you already gave him a nickname.
"Who are you? Why are you doing this?" Mina asked, tears in her eyes.
Mina heard a sigh within her mind.
You already asked both of those questions. And I already answered you. My name is Brain-Jacker. I'm a villain that likes to fuck, and making others fuck. Is that so hard to comprehend?
"But, why?"
BECAUSE I LIKE IT. WHY IS THIS A DIFFICULT CONCEPT FOR YOU?
Mina clutched her head, the loudness of her parasitic invader hurting her ears somehow.
Before Mina could wonder any more about what was going on, she heard a knock on the door.
"Mina? It's me, Ochaco."
"I'm also here." Mina heard Yao-Momo's voice.
Mina didn't have the heart to talk to anyone right now. And she was afraid, just slightly, of this… Brain-Jacker hopping from her to someone else.
"Go away."
"We Know, Mina." Ochaco said.
Mina looked up towards her door, her tears drying just a bit. What did they know? That a crazy villain was in her head, waiting for Midori to get back so she could ruin both of their lives in one go?
"We know about Brain-Jacker." Yao-Momo said beyond the door.
Mina's eyes widened. They… they did know.
She jumped up out of her bed and ran to the door, opening it and ushering in both girls. Neither of them seemed quite prepared for the speed at which Mina moved. Mina slammed the door behind her, and turned on her heel. Her eyes were still moist, and it was obvious she had been in emotional turmoil. But she looked at them both with determination on her face.
"Alright spill it! Is she- is she inside you two guys too?"
The two looked at each other once, before turning back to Mina and nodded their heads sadly.
Mina ran up to them and threw her arms around both of them, hugging them close. Her tears began flowing freely again.
"Oh, Yao-Momo… Ochaco… I'm so sorry!"
And then the dam burst, Ochaco and Momo began crying too, holding Mina tightly and sharing in her grief. The three of them held each other and cried for a long time. Ochaco and Momo finally felt the full weight of everything they'd been through, and though both tried to get out the words to Mina, both choked up too much to Mina.
The three girls continued their crying for several long minutes. And while their tears may have ceased falling, none of them felt any better.
Mina rubbed her eyes as she fell to the floor, exhausted. Momo sat neatly on her knees while Ochaco sat with her leg crossed.
"I'm so sorry guys…" Mina said. "How- how long has this been going on?"
"It will be two weeks this next Wednesday." Momo said, her head bowed. "Up until a few days ago… we were complete prisoners in our own bodies."
Mina looked aghast.
"I- I had no idea!" She got quiet for a moment, a look of worry on her face. "Has she… has she made you two… do anything?"
Momo and Ochaco shared a sad look, and immediately Mina knew.
Ochaco swallowed nervously, and spoke.
"She's made us do a lot. With… each other… and-"
"Midori." Mina finished her sentence, an embarrassed look on her face.
"Midori?" Ochaco asked, curious.
"O-Oh! I meant, Midoriya! Sorry, I just- I was calling him that on our date. He seemed to like it, so I uh. Sorry."
"No, don't be sorry. I think its cute. I prefer Deku, though. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable!"
"It's fine." She rubbed the back of her neck, a violet blush on her face. "So, you too Yao-Momo? With Midoriya?"
"…Yeah."
There was a silence over the three now, the embarrassment palpable.
Mina felt strangely calm at the moment, learning that two of her friends had had sex with the boy she liked. She felt like she should feel… something. But for some reason, all she felt was a sort of numbness. So much was going on, things that she'd never even considered before. She'd heard about heroes ending up in bad situations before. Forced to save one friend over another, or tortured for information, or even raped. But this felt so strange. This was rape, right? Even if it was in this strange roundabout way?
"Is Midori- er, Midoriya being controlled too?"
Momo nodded.
"Yeah, we all got infected at the same time. We've been… doing things a lot. It's different for Izuku though. Brain-Jacker can't control men directly, so she just threatens to kill us if he doesn't play along."
"That's horrible!" Mina exclaimed.
Hey, if it works.
Finally, Mina felt something other than numb. She felt angry.
Fury boiled over in her mind and heart. How could someone this evil exist? How could she do this to them? To her friends? To Midori? And she was doing it just because she found it fun?
Mina felt a hand placed on her shoulder.
She locked eyes with Ochaco, who looked at her with comforting eyes and a sad smile.
"Its ok, Mina. Well… no, it's not ok. But we'll get through this together. She won't win."
Mina ignored the laughter inside her head, and instead embraced her friends again. How could they have gone through all this by themselves?
As the three held each other close, they heard a knocking at the door. They let go of each other and listened, curious as to who it could be.
It was Jiro's voice that answered them behind the door.
"Hey, guys? Mr. Aizawa came back. Says he needs to speak to all the girls."
All three of them shared a look, curious as to what this was about. Momo was the most hopeful.
"Maybe, he knows."
But Brain-Jacker squashed that idea with a bout of laughter.
How would he know anything? Don't be stupid. No one's coming to save you. Kind of ironic, though isn't it? Considering this is a school for heroes?
But despite the villain's words, a spark of hope was enflamed within the girls. They got up and left the room, following Jiro back down to the commons. Most of the boys were already in their rooms, as they joined Asui and Hagakure who stood by a bored looking Aizawa.
Mina tried to power through and behave like nothing was wrong. She didn't want to give Brain-Jacker an excuse to control her again.
"H-Hey, Mr. Aizawa. What's this all about? Why do you need to see us?"
He looked over her with a cold glare that gave Mina the shivers.
"There was a mess in the upstairs girl's bathroom on campus. We're gathering all the girls that used it today and we're clearing this up now. As heroes in training, you are expected to be first rate citizens. And that means cleaning up after yourself."
Hagakure reaction was over the top, waving her arms in disapproval.
"But its almost time for bed!"
"I don't care. Follow me. I'll be escorting you to your cleaning supplies."
Hagakure groaned. Though Jiro and Asui seemed indifferent. For Momo, Ochaco, and Mina however, they found themselves severely disappointed that this was why they had been called down. The six girls found themselves marching behind Mr. Aizawa out into the night to the school, unaware that they were being followed.
Izuku ran as fast as he could to the dorms, eager to finally end Brain-Jacker's reign of terror. He couldn't believe at how fast it had all turned around! Mr. Aizawa, who he was still carrying, had informed him that the teachers had gotten his message from All Might and that they had been monitoring the campus ever since. He was also informed about Midnight and Mirko, and that they were prepared to detain a villain such as Brain-Jacker.
Apparently, there were a number of villains who had to have prisons without any cracks or openings. Her semi-liquid body wasn't unique. Izuku could barely keep himself from going over 21% of One for All. His body was burning, straining. He felt like this was above what he could truly safely output. But he felt like he had to go all out. He needed to save his friends as quickly as possible. Even if it hurt.
"Midoriya."
Izuku was brought out of his thoughts as he looked up at Mr. Aizawa, who he was carrying piggyback style.
"Yes, Mr. Aizawa?"
"Who all is under Brain-Jacker's control that you know of?"
"Mina, Momo, and Ochaco are. That I know for sure. I-I don't know if she's spread to anyone else. She needs time to form copies of herself. Or at least, that's what she told me."
"I see. Still, to be safe, we should assume she'd spread to the rest of your female classmates. For reasons we don't know, she doesn't seem to be spreading to the male population."
"Yeah, I think it has to do with uh-" Izuku blushed at what he remembered from his research. "w-with her fetishes."
Aizawa only gave a growl of disgust in response.
"Midoriya, I want you to stay out of sight when we arrive. It might tip off Brain-Jacker that she's been found out if she sees you with me. I was looking for you before, but from what I gather, she's not that intelligent. She never seemed to think Midnight's absence from school might be because she was captured."
"Yeah, I got the same feeling. She's not really someone who plans things out. Her quirk is so powerful she's able to just rely on it to get her out of trouble. Though, she also can't communicate with her copies, so she may have just learned to trust them."
"I'll have a lot more questions for you when we capture all of her on just how her quirk works. But for now, put me down. We're here."
Indeed, they were.
Izuku let Mr. Aizawa down and let One for All dissipate. As it did so, he felt a huge wave of exhaustion, and could barely keep himself from standing. He put his hands on his knees and began to breath heavily. Mr. Aizawa noticed, but didn't say anything. He was aware the boy was pushing his limits. As a teacher, he felt as if he should reprimand him. But as a fellow hero, he felt it would be inappropriate.
"Listen, Midoriya. I'm going to gather all the girls in the class and lead them to the campus so we can put them away and extract Brain-Jacker from those infected. I need you to stay out of sight and follow me. This isn't over, and I may need your help.
"This is a serious situation, I'm sure I don't need to tell you that. But I need you to know, this is not permission to put yourself in danger. If I become infected, for example, you are to immediately find and alert the other teachers. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes sir!"
"Good. Now hide. I won't be long."
Izuku nodded once and went off to hide in the bushes. When he was out of sight, Aizawa marched on into the 1A Heights Alliance dorm. True to his word, he wasn't long. Izuku stayed as still as possible so as not to be spotted as he saw all six of his female classmates follow behind Mr. Aizawa.
Mr. Aizawa walked nonchalantly, as if nothing was wrong. His back was hunched, his head drooped forward, his hands in his pockets. Izuku was honestly impressed he could act like that, knowing what he did. Izuku followed closely behind, as he had been instructed, keeping to the shadows and avoiding the light of lampposts. His heart beat rapidly, his pulse pounding in his ears. His nerves were frayed, and he felt a huge weight in the pit of his stomach.
It was almost over.
Mirko stretched her arms above her head as she finally took a breath of fresh air. That prison they had was stuffy. She hadn't minded being imprisoned considering the circumstances, but damn was she glad to be free again.
Recovery girl stood close by, monitoring the X-Ray equipment as it scanned a scowling Midnight who was still in her lingerie.
All Might, Principal Nezu, Snipe, Vlad King, and Present Mic stood around Mirko, observing her with relief.
"We do apologize for imprisoning you, Miss Mirko," Principal Nezu said. "But we had to be sure."
"Yeah, I get it. Not mad or anything. Now, how's it going with my mentee? Last I heard Eraserhead kept him from becoming a sidewalk pancake."
One of Ectoplasm's clones answered her.
"He is currently free of the villain, now identified as Brain-Jacker, and is helping Eraserhead round up more of her potential victims. In addition, Cementoss is on his way here with what we believe is the main body, rather than a copy."
Mirko nodded; her face serious as she monitored the cameras. How long had this gone on? How long had Izuku been host to this vile woman? She spared a glance at Midnight, wondering what would have happened if Brain-Jacker hadn't decided to attack her. Would she have forced Midnight to molest Izuku?
She scowled, and knew the answer. This villain was sick.
She saw Eraserhead getting closer with all the females in class 1A, and though he was easy to miss, Ectoplasm seemed to have a few of the monitors on infrared, and she was able to see Izuku following behind them carefully and sneakily.
"Oh my."
Mirko turned around to Recovery Girl, who was reading the X-Ray machine that was currently scanning Midnight. It was a unique item, able to be rolled on wheels and scanned with a quick and unobtrusive blue light. It could be used at quite a distance, and was able to be used without opening the prison cell. On the other side of the scanner, was a large screen that gave the UA school nurse all the data she needed.
The other heroes went to her side, intrigued by what she had found.
Mirko joined them, though kept an eye on the cameras as she did so.
When she joined the others looking at Midnight's scan, she could tell right away what Recovery Girl had noticed. There seemed to be a large tumor in Midnight's head, with tendrils all along her body. Mirko wasn't a doctor, and didn't know what else she was missing, but thankfully, Recovery Girl explained for those present.
"Her name is pretty close to how her quirk works; it looks like. You see that big blob in her head? That shouldn't be there. I'm guessing that's our villain. And you see here? All along her nervous system? That's our villain too, I wouldn't doubt. She also appears to be in the endocrine system and even the reproductive system.
"She isn't just controlling Ms. Kayama's brain, but also several other functions. Its like an advanced cancer, I'm not sure how we would go about getting her out of there. Especially since Brain-Jacker can move so freely. If we put Ms. Kayama under anesthesia, we don't know if it'll work or reach the villain. Removing her with surgery seems to be impossible."
Midnight laughed, or rather, Brain-Jacker laughed using Midnight's body.
"You heroes! Even if you catch all of my victims, what are you going to do? Imprison them like this woman? How long are you going to do that? Days? Weeks? Years? Face it, even now, this can hardly be called your victory."
"Shut up, already." Mirko replied, not in the mood to trade barbs.
All Might stood forward, a look of determination in his eyes.
"You shouldn't underestimate us. You have repeatedly done so to your own detriment. It is only a matter of time before you are brought to justice."
Midnight scoffed.
"You sound just like Izuku. Figures he's your favorite."
All Might coughed into his hand as his coworkers glanced at him.
However, before anyone could comment on that, Ectoplasm called them all back to the monitors. Eraserhead was in the building, and it was time to capture the rest of Brain-Jacker.
Mr. Aizawa led his troupe of teenage girls up to the second story with surprising calm. He was always good at keeping his head clear in dangerous situations. And this was definitely one such situation. His work was never like All Might's. Nothing flashy or world news worthy. He dealt with underground syndicates, delicate situations and villains who had to be dealt with suddenly and quickly. In truth, this was almost his comfort zone.
He was worried that if things went wrong, his own quirk wouldn't work on this Brain-Jacker. She seemed to be a mutant type. But, regardless, if it came to using his quirk, they'd already lost. A plan was in place already and all he needed to do was follow through. It was a pleasant development that Midoriya had been freed. He only hoped the rest of the night went as smoothly.
"Mr. Aizawa, what kind of mess is it?" Hagakure asked
"You already know. Don't play games with me."
"I'm not playing games! I really don't know!"
"Quiet. Its late, and you're already making me mad having to supervise you."
A logical deception once more was saving the day. Aizawa wondered if lying really was a sin. It came in handy far too often in his line of work.
He looked about the hallway, and breathed a sigh of relief. Now was the time. They'd arrived. He stopped, and turned around.
"Alright, we're here."
All six girls stopped, confused. Jiro spoke the words the others were thinking.
"Uh, Mr. Aizawa, this isn't the bathroom."
He looked at all six of them, and took a deep breath. Then he activated his quirk.
Immediately, Mina, Ochaco, and Momo began running the other way. But a green burst of lightning came from the opposite end of the hallway and sped towards all of them. As he got closer, the lightning dissipated as he came into Eraserhead's view.
Deku, a fierce and determined look on his face, slammed a fist into both Momo and Ochaco's stomachs, pushing them back. He then completed a round house kick into Mina's stomach without breaking stride, pushing her back too. Hagakure, Jiro and Asui were stunned at this development, but before anyone could do anything, the floor beneath them gave way, sliding back like a trap door.
The six girls fell into a large plexiglass prison cell, with a small concrete ball in the corner. As soon as they did, the top of the plexiglass prison closed.
"What's going on?!" Jiro asked, still shocked at these turn of events.
Eraserhead and Deku jumped down from the hole in the above floor next to the prison, Eraserhead still looking at them, erasing their quirks. Suddenly, each of them felt something clamp around their neck, each of them now sporting a quirk suppressing collar. They turned around and each saw a small flying robot, with a now empty claw on its bottom. As soon as the robots were done with their task, they flew up into a metal box in one of the corners, and deactivated.
Finally, Cementoss came into view, and closed the hole that they had all fallen down from.
"Ok, spill it! What's this all about?!" Jiro demanded; her hands balled into fists.
No one spoke, instead, Snipe, All Might, Vlad King, Ectoplasm, Present Mic, and even principal Nezu stepped into view. Jiro, Hagakure, and Asui looked on fearfully, but then, to the three girls' surprise, Momo, Mina, and Ochaco began smiling.
"Ochaco, why are you smiling?" Asui asked.
"B-Because… It's finally over!" she said, tears of happiness falling down her cheeks.
Momo and Mina fell to their knees, tears of happiness on their faces as well, knowing exactly what had happened, and thankful to heaven that it had.
"H-Hey, is that Midnight?!" Hagakure asked, and as the others looked over, they found their teacher adjacent to them in a prison of her own, wearing nothing but black lingerie.
"Okay, someone explain what's going on, now!" Jiro demanded.
All Might cleared his throat, and explained.
"Apologies, young lady. But we found this necessary to catch what we've found to be a body-snatching villain. I can't go into the details, but she took over Midnight and at least three of you. We weren't sure if she spread. This is only temporary, we assure you."
Jiro was about to speak back, but then, before she could, Mina, Ochaco, and Momo stopped crying and smiling, and instead each stood up straight, a maniacal look on their faces.
"Oh? And what are you going to do to get me out, All Might?" Mina asked, her face twisted into a wicked grin unlike any expression the girl naturally had.
"Who's to say I won't just stay inside these pretty little girls? Will you imprison them for life?" Ochaco continued.
"That doesn't seem very, heroic." Momo finished.
Asui, Jiro, and Hagakure took a step back, fear in their eyes.
Deku looked on at the development with both relief and apprehension. The two contradictory emotions flooding his system. Relief at having finally caught Brain-Jacker despite all the odds stacked against him. Apprehension at the fact that she still had Midnight, Mina, Ochaco, and Momo hostage. And really, Hagakure, Jiro, and Tsu were also hostage in this situation too. Brain-Jacker could simply take them over to make a point.
He felt a hand on his shoulder, and was brought out if his thoughts.
"Hey, Kid. You feeling alright?"
Izuku looked towards Mirko, who stood behind him with a look of pride on her face.
"Mirko! You're here too?"
"Hell yeah. Who do you think captured Midnight?"
"Oh, I guess I didn't think about it. We're pretty lucky Brain-Jacker didn't get you too."
"She tried. But luckily, I was tipped off as to what was happening. Thanks in large part to you. You're quite the clever kid, you know that?"
Izuku's face turned red at the compliment.
"O-oh, thanks."
Mirko playfully punched his arm as she walked to his side and crossed her arms.
"So, Mentee, you got a plan to get that bitch out of your friends?"
"Actually, yeah. I do."
Mirko turned to him with a smile.
"I figured you did, c'mon, let's get the teachers together and do this quick. The sooner the better."
Izuku smiled, and nodded his head once in affirmation.
"That's not a bad idea at all, Midoriya. Quite good I'd say, especially considering what Recovery Girl's discovered about Brain-Jacker." Principal Nezu said.
"Thank you, sir!" Izuku said as he bowed respectfully.
"There are a few problems with it, though. At least as I see it." Aizawa said.
"And what would those be, Eraser?" Vlad King said, arms crossed.
"Involving Shinso means that this little incident has one more confidant. The truth is, the fewer people who know the better. It's yet another major blow to the school's reputation.
"However, that concern is minimal, as saving the girls is the top priority. The second problem I have is that he needs to have Brain-Jacker talk to him rather than the girls. And the villain seems to be able to switch from direct control to relative freedom at a whim. How do we guarantee that she responds to him?"
"Seems a moot point, don't you think? What other options do we have?" Mirko said as she rested her hands on her hips. "Besides, ever since we caught her, she seems to prefer being in direct control to mock us."
"I don't see how we have much choice," All Might added. "Surgery is out of the question, and the heroes I know with quirks that could be useful aren't here in Japan. We need to take care of this problem as quickly as possible."
"I think it's a splendid idea. However, let's not forget that according to Midoriya, Brain-Jacker can read the minds of her female victims. Meaning everything they know, she knows. We'll have to disguise young Shinso before he's brought in." Nezu added.
As the pro heroes continued to strategize and think up ways to implement Izuku's plan of using Shinso to get Brain-Jacker to leave her victims, the night got late and Midoriya couldn't keep himself from yawning. Mirko noticed this, and kept an eye on him, worried that he might be pushing himself.
To think, just a few hours ago he was being held by the same vermin as the rest of them. She couldn't help but be impressed with him. Under the conditions that he was in, the fact that he had still been thinking of ways to get out from under Brain-Jacker's thumb and even gotten a message out like he had were impressive. But what really impressed her was that he was still focused on bringing her down. He was seeing this through.
She walked over to him and wrapped an arm around him, pulling him in close. He didn't struggle, but she saw him heat up a bit.
"So, tell me what you're thinking Izuku, What's in that head of yours. You got a plan all figured out yet?"
"W-well, I mean a lot of the pros are still discussing-"
"I didn't ask about that. I asked what your plan was."
Izuku was quiet for a moment before taking a big breath, and relating what he had come up with. Mirko smiled, quite happy that her mentee was such a quick thinker. It wasn't genius, or anything, but it was practical and it sounded like it would work.
"Well, heck, lets go tell the others. The sooner this lunatic is behind bars and your friends in their beds the better."
"You really think it's a good idea?"
"Hell, yeah I do. Why didn't you tell your teachers?"
"Well, they have some pretty good ideas too…"
Mirko playfully hit him in the arm.
"See, this is why I don't like teams. You're trying to consider the feelings of all of the people you're working with instead of focusing on solutions. Now c'mon, let's go tell 'em what you've got."
For the most part, the teachers agreed with Mirko, and wondered why he hadn't spoken up sooner. After all, he had brought up Shinso in the first place. So why hesitate with the rest of it? All Might made a note that the boy's confidence needed growth as much as everything else, and vowed to deal with that at a later date. For now, though, Ectoplasm agreed to go fetch Shinso. Though that was not what they told Brain-Jacker. Instead, they concocted an elaborate ruse.
Jiro's world had crashed hard and fast the moment Aizawa looked like he was legit going to murder her. And then, out of nowhere, Midoriya had just attacked Mina, Momo, and Ochaco. None of it made any sense. She had so many questions, but when those were answered, it didn't serve to bring her closure. It only brought on more fears and confusion.
Both Hagakure and Tsu held on to Jiro, with Hagakure on her left, and Tsu on her right. They stayed as far as they could from Mina, Ochaco, and Momo. All three of whom were glowering at the teachers plus Izuku and Mirko who were currently huddled up discussing the current situation across the room.
Suddenly, Jiro heard a tapping on the glass from behind her. She dared to spare a glance, and found her teacher, Midnight smiling at her. Jiro's face turned beet red as she got an eyeful of the voluptuous woman, who was wearing some very risqué underwear.
"My my. You three… so unlucky. You never got to experience all the fun of being a woman. Quite the shame."
"A-are you really some kind of… body snatching villain?" Jiro found the courage to ask.
Midnight laughed.
"Oh my, with all that stuttering, you sound like Izuku. Its such a shame I never got to enjoy him with this body… But yes, Jiro. I am."
"But that could change if you like."
Jiro jumped back a bit as Momo leaned close to her. She hadn't even noticed her getting closer! Momo leaned over to the three girls huddled together, a disturbingly normal smile on her face.
"Momo? Not you too…"
"Oh, Jiro, don't say it like that. It was quite fun, even if I was forced to suck Izuku's delicious cock."
Jiro felt a shiver crawl down her spine. But Tsu was the one to respond.
"You shouldn't make people say things they wouldn't! The real Momo, would never say such a crude thing."
Momo smiled and tilted her head to the side.
"Maybe not, but it doesn't change the fact that she did it. She had him cum inside her pussy too. Over and over and over again… Its amazing she's not pregnant really. And the truth is, I know she loved it. She wants to feel like a victim, but the real conflict inside her is how much she loved every second."
"She didn't make Midoriya do anything! It was you! You… you… freak!" Jiro exclaimed, her body trembling.
Mina and Ochaco turned to them, then. Unnatural smiles on their faces.
"Hey, Momo, you ready to spread yet? I'm thinking of some fun things we can do to rub it in the face of these heroes." Ochaco said.
"Not yet, I'm afraid. But I want dibs on Jiro." Momo said as she licked her lips.
Jiro blushed heavily.
"I want Tsu!" Ochaco said, a toothy grin on her face.
Tsuyu shivered at Jiro's side.
"Well I want Hagakure!" Mina said, pumping her fist.
"No thank you!" was Hagakure's reply.
They heard Midnight laugh behind them again.
"Oh, you poor helpless girls. They wanted so bad to save everyone that they've put you firmly in my hand. Even If they catch every person I'm inside, what does it matter? I'm never letting any of these beauties go. And I can continue violating them and having fun even if they lock them up! They're sacrificing the few for the many! How very heroic of them!"
A loud thump on the plexiglass brought Jiro's attention to Midoriya, who had slammed his fist on the plexiglass prison and was scowling in absolute fury at Midnight.
"We haven't left anyone to you! You're done! You hear me?! Brain-Jacker!"
His body began crackling with green energy, and he hit the prison in anger.
"Jiro! Asui! Hagakure! Don't listen to anything she says! She's just trying to mess with you! I promise, this ends tonight! We'll extract her from everyone, and you'll all be able to go to sleep in your own bed!"
"Don't make promises you can't keep, Deku~" Ochaco said sweetly.
Before Izuku could retort, All Might laid a hand on his shoulder.
"All right, young man. Time for you to get some sleep. Leave this to us."
"But-"
"No buts, we agreed to let you keep watch, but Eraserhead is going first. That means you need to keep well rested." All Might levied his skeletal visage to Jiro, "I'm sorry, young Jiro, Asui, and Hagakure. But you'll have to wait a little while longer."
"W-wait! You're not going to leave us here?! Not with- whatever's inside Yao-Momo?!"
Izuku's fierce face faded into one of shame as he averted his eyes. That did nothing to assuage Jiro's fears.
"M-Midoriya! You said we were going to sleep in our own beds tonight! You're not a liar, are you!?"
"No! Of course not! I-"
"Midoriya!"
All Might cut Midoriya off as the teachers left the room, leaving him looking ashamed as he turned his back on them and left the room.
Tsuyu called out, then, tears in her eyes.
"Izuku… don't leave."
The look on his face was one of a man wracked with guilt. But he did not stay.
Soon, only Mr. Aizawa was there. He gave a sigh and brought one of the swivel chairs that were at the monitoring screens over in front of the detainment cells. He sat down and crossed his arms, keeping his eyes on the three possessed members of class 1A.
Mina giggled and provoked him.
"Gee, Mr. Aizawa, its not enough we have quirk suppressing collars, but we even have to have you here? You're really afraid of us, aren't you?"
"Yes."
That answer caught everyone off guard, the three girls possessed by Brain-Jacker, the three who weren't, and Midnight too. In fact, the not-really-Mina had been completely derailed by his comment. Shota Aizawa took the time to clarify his statement.
"I am afraid for my students and their safety. The fact that you have gone this far with your wicked deeds is a great shame not only on the school, but on myself as well. My students suffering without my knowledge is a fear I have had since I began teaching. The fact that this fear has come to pass has only caused that feeling of horror within me to grow.
"But the duty of a hero is to push past their fear and shame, and to protect others regardless. You may think you're still in a position to enjoy yourself, but I assure you… you are gravely mistaken."
There was silence then, for the first time since Jiro, Asui, and Hagakure fell through the ceiling. His little speech had shut Brain-Jacker down. Or at least killed the mood that she had been trying to set.
Minutes passed as everyone sat in silence.
Finally, the silence was broken as Ectoplasm entered the room.
"Shift over already?" Aizawa asked.
"Sort of. They want to talk to you. I'll cover, for now."
Aizawa gave a grunt and headed out.
Jiro, Asui, and Hagakure still huddled close, watching their homeroom teacher leave with saddened expression on their faces. This was the worst night of their lives, and it had helped to have a more familiar face with them. With Midoriya and now Aizawa both gone, all three girls felt like there was a great weight in the pit of their stomachs.
Ectoplasm walked up and down beside the two cells, looking at each girl with that same unreadable expression on his face he always had. Jiro never really liked it. She knew he was a hero, but he just came off as creepy sometimes.
"So," He said. "Has Brain-Jacker let any of you go yet? She seems the type to get easily bored."
"In your dreams, sweetheart," Midnight purred.
Ectoplasm spared her a glance, but continued stalking about.
"So does one mouth speak for all of you?"
"Afraid so." said Momo
"Yep!" said Mina
"Why even ask that? You already know the-" Ochaco had begun to speak, but then stopped.
Jiro caught on to that, and was confused. Was Ochaco fighting back? However, before she could think on that front any further, Tsuyu tugged on her sleeve and pointed at Ectoplasm.
The hero was taking off his helmet, something Jiro had never seen him do before. He looked a lot younger than she thought he would, and he wore some strange mask under his helmet? Actually, now that she was looking a little harder, the person looked way too young to be Ectoplasm. In fact, he actually looked like-
"Shinso? From General Studies?" Tsuyu asked. "Is that you?"
As Jiro stared, wide-eyed and gob smacked, it was indeed Hitoshi Shinso, the brainwashing quirk user that Midoriya had faced at the UA sports festival. He had taken off Ectoplasm's helmet and coat, and left them on the floor, revealing what looked to be his own hero costume.
He wore a black jumpsuit not unlike Mr. Aizawa's with his own capture cloth wrapped around his neck and a scary looking robotic mask.
He didn't answer them. Instead, he spoke a command.
"Now, leave your host body without hurting it, and go stand in the corner."
From Mina, Momo, Ochaco, and Midnight's bodies, oozing purple slime emerged, and took the vague form of a humanoid. Just as Shinso instructed they all shambled off into the corner and stood there.
Those who were freed all jolted suddenly as if they had just fallen into place, and a look of incredulousness graced their features. Before anyone could say anything, however, Shinso brought up a finger to where his mouth would be in a gesture meant to keep them quiet. They understood and acquiesced. Slowly and carefully, Shinso went to the controls and opened the cell doors.
Quickly, but carefully, all seven innocents left their prison, leaving only the purple slime woman behind. Shinso closed the prison cells, and almost immediately after he did so, the room erupted into celebration and noise. The teachers quickly escorted everyone to a nearby empty room to recuperate away from the vile villainess.
