Kaminari smashed his metal rod to fend off another villain and then retreated back to Jiro and Momo, "There are too many villains here," Kaminari complained. Momo created a shield just in time to stop a villain from cutting her arm, "There isn't much we can do,"

"Wait, I might be able to do something," Jiro said, "Stand back and don't move!"

Denki and Momo nodded and retreated back further. The villains moved to attack with full force but Jiro plugged in her headphones to the rocky ground below and created short bursts of sound. The ground crumbled and the villains screamed as they fell down painfully. "Nice, Jiro!" Momo exclaimed.

"Thanks," she grinned back, "Wait... where's Kaminari?" she stared back searching for any sign of yellow hair. Momo looked beside her and tried to pinpoint Kaminari's position, "Hold on, stay quiet," Jiro ordered as she used her earphones to track him. Her eyes widened, "Momo, jump,"

Momo instinctively jumped to her right just as the ground beneath her broke, "Good reflexes. I thought I could get all three of you, but it seems not," the villain said, his hand on Denki's neck, "Nevertheless, I'll still get away. If you want your friend to live, you should step aside," the villain smirked.

Jiro scowled, "Why were you underground in the first place?"

"It seems he was hidden there because he was important to their plan. I'm guessing he was the reason the alarm didn't trip in the first place," Momo concluded.

The villain laughed, "As expected of UA students. My lightning quirk was needed to make sure the alarm didn't trip. It's a shame that I must make a hostage of another lighting quirk user but I need to do what I must,"

Momo smirked, "I wouldn't be too sure of that," she said. "Huh? What do you-" The villain stopped short as he felt his entire body go numb. He collapsed to the ground with his eyes still wide.

"What did you do?" Kaminari asked Momo as he got free from the villain's grip.

"I had pre-made an injection laced with a paralyzing agent. When the villain tried to attack me, I injected it into him," Momo explained, discarding the syringe.

"Whoa, that was some quick thinking. I didn't even see you make it," Kaminari grinned.

"I made it when the villains appeared at USJ before we were scattered. Midoriya had told me in my analysis notes that it would be better for me to create things beforehand because I would waste brainpower and time by creating things in the heat of the battle," Momo explained.

"You seem too chipper for someone who was just a hostage," Jiro told Kaminari.

"Mah, I'm safe now. The thing is if he was the villain who was blocking the alarm, why hasn't the alarm gone off now?" Kaminari asked Momo. Jiro fell into thought at that too, "Yeah, it should have gone off..."

"He said he had an electric quirk. They must have overridden the alarm circuit itself," Momo connected the dots.

"So they infiltrated UA's entire security system too?" Jiro asked.

Momo shook her head, "No, that would block out all surveillance on campus. Someone would be bound to notice. I think they only sabotaged the USJ circuit that is on-site. The lightning villain must have overridden the circuit to block out the alarm and then hid underground for his own safety,"

"Shit, so there's no way for anyone at UA to realize that we are under attack until someone at UA notices that the USJ's surveillance is not working," Jiro bit her lip.

"But wait, I have an electric quirk too! If we can get to the circuit, maybe I can override it again so that it works properly!" Kaminari offered.

Momo nodded, "Yes, that would work but we don't know where the circuit is in the first place,"

Kaminari sighed, "If only Watanabe was here, we could use his X-ray to find it,"

"Speak of the devil and he shall- OW!" Watanabe screamed as Jiro flung around quickly and punched Watanabe in the face, knocking him to the ground, She was about to use her headphone jacks too when Watanabe spoke hastily, "WAIT! IT's ME WATANABE!" his voice came out nasally.

Jiro pumped her fists in anger, "You idiot! Why are you sneaking up on people while we are under attack!?" she demanded.

"Sorry," he mumbled, clutching his bleeding nose, "I think you broke it,"

"Good," Jiro huffed.

"Told you it would be a bad idea," Ojiro sweatdropped as he landed beside Watanabe.

"Were you guys warped here too?" Momo asked.

"No, we were dropped into the fire zone. I tried to pinpoint anyone else there with my infrared vision,"

"In a fire zone?" Momo asked unimpressed.

"Yeah, it was a stupid idea. So, I switched to my X-ray vision and saw recognized Ojiro because of the tail. We got out of there using stealth. I figured that someone must be jamming the signals and tried to spot him but looks like you guys got to him first." Watanabe explained as Denki pulled out a bandage from his pouch to wrap him up, "Shouldn't the alarm be working now?"

Momo shook her head, "No the circuit itself has been sabotaged. We need your X-ray to find where it is so Kaminari can override it again,"

"Oh cool, Follow me!" He said before falling in pain as he jerked his nose too much.

"Thank you Tsuyu," Izuku said as he wrung the water out of his gloves.

"Call me Tsu-chan,"

"They aren't trying to get on the boat and attack us," Shinsou observed from the deck.

"Their quirks are probably water-based so they are probably waiting for us to get in the water to escape," Tsuyu said.

"That seems like a dumb idea. UA staff are bound to get here so we can wait them out," Hitoshi replied.

"There's something that gives us an advantage though," Tsuyu said.

"What is it?" Izuku asked, keen to incorporate it into his strategy.

"The villains probably don't know our quirk. Water is my primary strength, so it makes more sense to drop me in the fire zone," She explained.

"Hmm," Izuku thought, "That does give us a good advantage. Hitoshi, can you explain your brainwashing a bit more to me?"

Shinsou nodded, "As I told you earlier, I need a verbal response to gain control,"

"But can you control many people together?"

Shinsou shook his head with a frown, "Not yet,"

"Alright. Since there are so many villains here, Shinsou's brainwashing won't be too useful. Tsuyu, do you think you can make a jump to the ground while holding us?"

"Piece of cake,"

"Good, we will do that then. That way, Shinsou and I can also back you up in the water if they attack us on the ground,"

Tsuyu nodded and stuck out her tongue, "Best to do it right away,"

Hitoshi seemed to gag at the thought of being wrapped around Tsuyu's tongue but nodded. His face was as green as Izuku's hair when Tsuyu wrapped her tongue around them. Suddenly, the ship seemed to wave around and started sinking, "They are getting impatient. Make the jump!" Izuku ordered.

Tsuyu nodded and jumped off the ship just as it broke into two pieces. Izuku carefully took aim with his finger, "SMASH!" he shouted and let flicked his finger. A whirlpool formed and pulled all the villains into it. Tsuyu landed just on the edge of the plaza along with Hitoshi and Izuku. The three resurfaced and Hitoshi stared at him, "Why didn't you use that during the training exercise?"

Izuku painfully held up his broken and limp finger, "It's a damaging quirk. I still can't withstand the full effect of it,"

"Well, well, well, look what we have here. Three of your little ducklings, Eraserhead," The raspy voice made the three stiffen. They turned in horror to see Aizawa's head pinned to the ground. The villain who was talking had a creepy hand on his face and an aura about him that seemed to paralyze the three, "Looks like All Might will have to pick up a few corpses," he grinned and stretched his hand onto Hitoshi and Izuku's face. The two waited in bated breath for something but nothing happened.

"You really are cool, Eraserhead," Shigaraki praised. Through the corner of his eye, Izuku saw Eraserhead's head lifted and his quirk activated. Izuku knew that Aizawa would not be able to hold off the quirk for long. Tsuyu had understood that too and extended her tongue onto Shigaraki and flung him.

Meanwhile, Izuku went for the Nomu. Watanabe had already warned them that it was likely the strongest villain there. He poised a 100% smash and hit the Nomu straight on. Izuku smirked, thinking he had gotten it but gulped in fear as the Nomu remained unmoving. "No way! I hit it with a 100% smash. It should have flown off,"

Shigaraki had regained his footing and was seething with anger, "Nomu! Finish Eraserhead and then tear the brats apart,"

The Nomu moved according to Shigaraki's and lifted Aizawa's body. Hitoshi looked on in panic. The Nomu was strong enough to withstand Izuku's punch, so it had to be strong. "Oi, you bastard. Leave Eraserhead and get me first!" He shouted, trying to incite a response from the monster. The Nomu didn't reply and flung Aizawa into the ground with a thud, "Coward! Come after me!" He shouted again as the Nomu slammed Aizawa into the ground.

Shigaraki chuckled, "That's not gonna work. Nomu is programmed to only listen to me! Don't worry, you'll have your turn next,"

Hitoshi ignored Shigaraki and picked up a pebble and threw it at the Nomu's head. This time the Nomu looked over. He was still smashing Aizawa's head onto the ground but he let out a squawking sound.

"I told you brat, wait for your turn," Shigaraki said but Hitoshi was watching the suddenly still Nomu with a smirk, "Brainwashing success!"

A/N: Sorry for the short chapter but I couldn't really think of much else to add without saturating it with too many things. Let me know what you thought of it.

Lastly regarding the server, It's still there but I have left it due to a personal problem.
