Previously on Madness
I just got out of the hideout just in time, before the building could start shaking. Holy shit! What was the Master even thinking when he decided to recruit the kid? He's like a force of nature! Scratch that, he's like those unbeatable bosses in video games that only die if you cheat.
After the shaking ended, I walked away from the bar, master's monitor still inside, pondering what became of the boy. On one hand, he was the perfect killing machine. On the other hand, he was very dangerous, much like a threat to his new vision of the world. A world where people could do whatever they want to do and get away with it. Someone like Izuku would only create a world, not of disorder, but something even worse than chaos. If my vision of the world is wrong, then what's their view on Izuku's?
No matter, when the time is ready, I'll have to dispose of him before he could be considered another player in my world. In my game…
Present Day
And now my dream will come true. The symbol of peace, All-Might, will die today. Oh, how I've longed to see this day happen. Since the day Master found me, I've devoted myself to seeing All-Might's doom. Though I hope that Izuku bastard doesn't get in my way, after all, I'll need Master's approval in order to get his quirk. Maybe, just maybe I'll be able to match Izuku's power.
For now, I have about 100 thugs who are willing to fight with us. Some for the money. Others for the thrill of it. Mostly came for the death of All-Might. Those thugs always place a smile on my face whenever they preach about a world where they could do whatever they desire. I couldn't say I disagree, but I vision the world to be run in a simple system. A system where only the players can truly rule the world, which is why I shall be the symbol of chaos they fear. It is, after all, all I ever wanted.
Hmm, it seems that the UA students are finally entering the USJ building… this should be fun…
Outside of USJ (Eraserhead's POV)
We arrived outside of the USJ with little to no difficulties.
"SHUT IT FOUR EYES! I can say whatever the hell I want to say!"
'Me and my big mouth'
I sighed, annoyed senselessly by my new troublemaking children. Why couldn't I have students who aren't as troublesome as these kids? Anyways, let's get this over with so I can get back and sleep in my sleeping bag.
"Alright, when we enter, please, with all the maturity inside of yourselves, pay attention to our speaker. I'm not in a mood to play around right now."
Hearing their instructor's order, they automatically enter the USJ building, unaware of both the training and 'special' visitors.
Aizawa, for the meantime, watches on as his students enter the building. It made him think about what happened a few months back after the Musutafu incident.
Flashback
Aizawa walked slowly toward the childish black-haired man, who surprisingly had the same quirk as Mirio, and looked at the now bruised man, with red glowing eyes, erasing his quirk. His appearance didn't help the man-child's nerves. Aizawa could've sworn he heard the man swear under his breath for taking another scary assignment. With all the authority he could muster, Aizawa said one word:
"Talk."
"ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT, I'LL TALK! Just, please don't hit me anymore!" Tobi said, visibly showing fear in his eyes.
"Good, now tell me: Who is this Izuku you've talked about?"
Tobi closed his eyes before opening them again, but now showing a serious side Aizawa had yet to see. "Izuku was the one who blew up the apartments in Musutafu because of some 'personal' issue he had with a certain someone. Sad honestly, he found out something about himself that by all honestly shouldn't have. I am certain, however, Izuku is not one to test… he is rather one with such an evolving mind. He is twisted and has a big grudge against All Might. One of the reasons why he caused such an incident was an honor for All-Might to witness. *Hmph* If you really want to stop him, look for the color… 'Green'
Flashback End
'What the hell did he mean when referring to the color green? It seems irrelevant, but relevant at the same time. Could the reference of the color be some code? No, that wouldn't make sense. Maybe an Alias? Dammit, why could that man-child tell me?!' He took a small breath and exhaled, this case was still troublesome to solve.
Before entering the USJ, the space hero, 13 greeted the newcomer students. Although wearing a space helmet, 13's voice was an indication that he or she was in a good mood. Wait, I've known 13 for a while, but I've yet to know what gender 13 is.
"13! I'm such a big fan!" Uraraka said with her usual bubbly attitude.
Happy to hear another fan, 13 thanked her. "Now, let's go inside and work our hardest to make you all great heroes in the future."
When the students entered, they were greeted with a sight. Rescue training ranging from activities from mountain training to shipwreck training.
While the students continued to stare with excitement, I decided to ask 13 the big questions: "13, where's All-Might? He was supposed to be here with us?"
"About that… he might have done too much hero work before coming here." 13 said, sticking 3 fingers out.
"*Sigh* Of course he would do some hero work even though he has other priorities to attain."
"Let's see… Before we begin, let me say one thing… er… or two, or three… or four… five… six… seven…"
The students sweatdropped, 'The number is still increasing.'
"As you all may know, my quirk is called Black Hole. I can suck anything and turn it to dust" 13 said, explaining to them the base info about the quirk.
"In a superhuman society, personal quirks have been certified and stringently regulated, so that doesn't seem to be a problem at first glance. However, please do not forget that there are many quirks that can easily kill you with one wrong step. With Aizawa's physical fitness test, you found out about the possibility of your own hidden powers, and with All-Might's person-to-person combat training, I think you have experienced the danger of using those powers against others. This class is a fresh start. You shall learn how to use your quirk to save people's lives. You do not have powers so you can harm others. I hope you leave here with the understanding that you have the power in order to help others. That is all. Thank you for listening." 13 said, finishing the speech with a bow.
"Alright, now first-"
Before I could finish my sentence, the lights lighting up the room began to flicker on and off, until eventually, they turned off completely. In the middle of the USJ, a purple mist appeared. Out of the mist, a man with teal hair and hands covering his body came out. Following him, multiple thugs with unique quirks came out. The mist dissolved, revealing the one creating the mist to be a mist-like person.
I widened my eyes in horror, "13, protect the students!"
"Right!" 13 replied.
No one's POV
"Hmm, I don't see All-Might. Do you think he'll appear if we greet him with the bodies of everyone here, Kurogiri?" Shigaraki said, releasing his bloodlust towards the students and faculty of UA.
"Perhaps it will. Should I bring in Nomu?"
"You can't beat a level if you don't give it your all, now can you?"
"Very well, Master Shigaraki."
A huge person came out of the mist with black skin and many scars. His brain was exposed on the top of his head with his two large eyes on its side. He had a bird-like beak as a mouth. The said person looked like a monster. When Aizawa measured up the newcomer, he found the person to be bigger and stronger like All-Might.
'This guy, he must have brought him here to fight All-Might. But since All-Might's not here, this may become a massacre.' Aizawa thought, not prepared to fight a potential major threat after his students' first week of becoming UA students.
"Everyone, run! Get out of here! Those are real villains." Emphasizing the word real as a life threatening situation they were in.
"Wait, Eraserhead, what about the trespasser sensors? They didn't go off!" 13 reminded the underground hero.
"They must have someone with a quirk disturbing the sensors. Though, that wouldn't matter much right now." Aizawa said, looking back at the students. "First, we need to evacuate the students."
"Right."
"Okay, I'll buy you some time." And with that, Aizawa jumped down, descending from the air. Some of the villains with long-range quirk turned to shoot bullets at the pro hero, but to no avail as Eraserhead momentarily erased their quirk. With his bending cloth, he grabbed two villains and slammed them together, knocking them unconscious. The UA students were amazed by their homeroom teacher's skills in combat, having never thought he was this efficient.
"Alright you guys, we need to leave the perimeter!" 13 said, snapping them out of their momentary shock.
"Right." The 1-A students replied.
Just as they were near the exit, a purple mist appeared in front of them as it grew in size.
"I'm sorry, but I can't let any of you get away," Kurogiri said as he blocked their path.
'Dammit, we were so close.' 13 cursed under his/her breath.
"Hmm, I assume it is rude for us to not introduce ourselves," Kirogiri said with what sounded like a formal tone. "Greetings to you all. We are the League of Villains. It may be presumptuous of us, but we have invited ourselves into the U.A. High School in order to have the Symbol of Peace, All-Might, take his last breath."
Hearing the motives, 13 could only narrow his/her eyes at the still-unknown entity.
"Though I was under the impression that All-Might was supposed to be here. Was there some sort of change? No matter. No one will ever find out, except some corpses."
Just as Kurogiri was about to attack, Bakugou and Kirishima were two steps faster, blasting themselves to the warp villain. 13, who was about to use his/her Black Hole quirk, stopped abruptly, clearly not expecting new UA students to rush into an unknown fight.
"Did you consider that you'd got beaten by us before you did it?" Kirishima yelled, trying to taunt the warp villain.
When the smoke cleared, Kirogiri was revealed to not have a single scratch on him. Shocking the entire class, the villain noticed how much of a sitting duck they were and attacked. 13 noticing the danger, warned the two boys to get out of the way. Having none of it, Kirogiri scattered all the students across the entire USJ, having some sort of torture waiting for them at the other side…
