Kota watches Izuku as he pants and then falls forward a bit before catching himself causing Kota to stand gasping and run towards Izuku saying, "Hey!"

Izuku says, "Everything's okay. Gimme a second, and then there's something I have to take care of."

Kota says, "But you're all beat up! What more could you have to do now?"

Izuku says, "I knew he'd be strong. That's why I had to try to defeat him here."

Kota gasps.

Izuku continues, "I thought I'd be able to inflict a lot more damage in the end, though. Turns out, I seriously underestimated how powerful his Quirk was." Izuku looks out towards the forest and says, "If every villain attacking us tonight is on the same level, all our lives are at stake. On top of that, it sounds like they're after some of us students. I have to let Mr. Aizawa, Cara, and the Pussycats know that's one of the reasons they're here. I may be injured, but I'm not defeated yet, there are more people I can save."

Kota gulps watching Izuku.

Izuku says turning away from Muscular, "We'll leave this villain here for the time being. With my arms messed up, my smash was probably weaker than it could have been, but I still think it's taken him down for a while. He won't wake up anytime soon. And even if he did, he'd be too weak to fight. For right now, I just need to make sure you're safe. We're gonna need some help only you can give us." Izuku looks out at the fire blazing in the forest and says, "The forest has been set on fire. That means my friends could be trapped by the flames. But we have hope." Izuku kneels down on the ground to Kota's level and continues, "Your water Quirk can put those fires out."

Kota gasps turning to Izuku completely.

Izuku says, "Kota? You hear me? We need you. Now, get on my back. We need to get you to camp, fast."

Kota asks, "You sure you can carry me? You're all busted up."

Izuku says, "No need to worry. That's why I left my legs unbroken!" Izuku goes Full Cowling and continues, "Hang on tight. This could be rough."

Kota gasps as Izuku jumps into the air.

Izuku mutters, "I've got a bad feeling about this."

At the main building with Monoma, Eijiro, Sato, Mina, Kaminari, and Sero, Dad turns to Vlad saying, "I'll look after the other students. Protect them."

Monoma says, "Wasn't this a secret?"

Dad runs to the entrance of the building and mutters, "If it's a full-scale attack...We're in big trouble." Dad stops once through the doors looking at the smoke coming from the ablaze forest.

Dabi says, "Looks like your concern has you distracted, Eraser." Dabi flames his hand up near Dad's face.

Dad says, "Vlad!" And quickly darts onto the side of the building hanging with his Capture Weapon to avoid the fire.

Dabi says looking up at him, "Nice move. Guess you really are a pro."

Dabi aims his hand at Dad to fire off more fire but Dad is quick to activate Erasure and says, "Not so fast." Dad sends his Capture Weapon at Dabi and wraps his arm to his body before yanking him towards him as he comes off the side of the building. Dad grabs the back of Dabi's head before pushing his face into his knee causing Dabi to grunt. When Dad lands he forces Dabi's face into the ground with his right hand on the back of his head while having his left twist Dabi's left arm backwards.

I finally get to the building but when I do I see Dad over the villain and Dad locks eyes with me and yells, "Go find the others and make sure they're safe!" I nod and take off running into the woods to find and help both my classmates and Class B. Those eyes of the villain's were haunting me as I knew them but I couldn't place them.

Dad says, "What do you want and where are your friends hiding?"

Dabi grunts and says, "My what?"

Dad says lifting his left arm and breaking it, "Your right arm's next."

Dabi grunts.

Dad continues, "Be logical about this. At least save your legs. It would be a real pain to have to carry you off to jail without them."

Dabi says, "You can take your time, Eraserhead." Dabi causes flames to go on his head causing Dad to be quick to use his Quirk.

A rumble goes through and Dad gasps and says, "What's that?"

All the sudden Tenya, Ojiro, Koda, and Mineta get there with them all panting and Tenya calls, "Mr. Aizawa!"

Dad says, "Stay back."

Dabi jumps up causing Dad to jump back and grab his Capture Weapon that's still attached to Dabi with his eyes glowing red as he uses Erasure.

Dabi mutters, "He's good. I won't be able to take much more of this." Dabi stands straighter and says audible, "That's exactly the performance I'd expect out of a UA teacher. Tell me, hero." Dad's Capture Weapon goes through Dabi as he turns to mud almost. Dabi says, "You worried for your student?"

Dad looks confused and he mutters, "The fire that he shot earlier wasn't his Quirk?"

The mud Dabi continues melting and says, "I wonder if you can save them in the end. See you soon." The villain goes into a pile of mush.

Tenya, Ojiro, Koda, and Mineta run towards Dad. Mineta says, "What was that? Did he just melt?" Mineta stops and gasps as Dad runs past them.

Dad says, "Everyone get inside. I'll be back." Dad mutters, "Stay safe, Cara."

Twice groans and says, "Come on, Dabi! You got your ass handed to you! By a magic scarf!"

Dabi leaning against a tree says, "How weak. That happened fast, huh?"

Twice goes towards him and says, "Huh? Don't say that. Better to frame this as the pro being too strong. It's important to mind your self-esteem, even on a perilous mission."

Dabi looks towards the tree and says, "Whatever, Twice. Just make another one of me. We need to keep those pros occupied."

Twice says, "Another small fry, comin' right up. Leave it to me."

Izuku runs through the forest with Kota on his back saying, "Just a little bit further."

Kota gasps and says, "Hey, look!"

Dad is running through the forest towards them.

Izuku calls, "Mr. Aizawa!"

Dad slides to a stop and sees Izuku surprised and says, "Midoriya-" Dad gets a good look at Izuku and has a disappointed look on his face.

Izuku says, "You're here. Thank goodness. I need to catch you up on what I've learned about the villains, but we don't have much time." Izuku breathes heavy.

Dad says, "Hey."

Izuku continues, "Plus, I need to find Mandalay. There's something I have to tell her."

Dad says putting his hands up, "Hold on!"

Izuku says, "Please take care of Kota while I'm gone!" Izuku keeps going.

Dad mutters, "This kid is running on pure adrenaline."

Izuku goes to run off saying, "I'll be back soon!"

Dad says, "Wait, Midoriya!"

Izuku stops with a grunt and turns to Dad.

Dad sighs and says, "Those injuries...You went too far again, didn't you? Have you forgotten about Hosu?"

Izuku says, "Uh...No. I haven't."

Dad says, "Go. But tell Mandalay something for me, too."

Izuku gasps.

Tiger growls and keeps hitting Magne with Magne blocking the punches.

Magne says dodging, "No fair. Back off. Let me equip my item."

Tiger growls kicking at Magne and swiping at him. Tiger mutters, "Damn it. How is he predicting my Cat Combat? Only Cara has been able to do that before."

Spinner attacks Mandalay saying, "You're not..." He swipes at Mandalay with his big 'sword thing' and she dodges as he continues, "...a real hero!" He swipes at her again. He brings it above his head saying, "You brought this on yourself, girl!" and brings it down.

Mandalay jumps backwards saying, "Jeez, you're persistent."

Spinner says, "As are you." He jumps into the air causing Mandalay to gasp as he continues, "But it's time to knock you off your false throne."

Izuku flies in and kicks Spinner saying, "Smash!"

They are all in the air and Izuku says, "Mandalay! Kota! He's safe!"

Mandalay lands and says, "You found him?"

Izuku lands and says, "And I've got a message from Mr. Aizawa. We need you to use Telepath!"

Dad runs through the forest with Kota in his arms as he remember Dabi saying, "Tell me, hero. Are you worried for your students? I wonder if you can save them in the end."

Dad says, "His words made it clear to me that our students are the targets. So it's unavoidable. They have to protect themselves. And each other. Go ahead and use your training. I'll take the heat."

Izuku says to Mandalay, "Tell everyone in Class A and Class B that Eraserhead had granted them permission to engage in combat with the villains. And tell Cara that she needs to stay in a group as she is a main target."

Mandalay nods and I stop running in the forest as her voice vibrates through my head saying, "Everyone in Class A and Class B! In the name of the pro hero, Eraserhead, you are granted permission to engage in combat. I repeat. Use your training. You may fight these villains." I get a second of calm as Mandalay mutters, "I hope you know what you're doing, Eraser." All the sudden my head pounds as Mandalay says in my head, "Cara! If you can hear me your father said you need to stay in a group as you are a main target."

My head spins with that information but I quickly run forward knowing I need to find others preferably the stronger the better.

Dad runs back to the main building with Kota in his arms muttering, "Future heroes. Do not let this night be the end of your journey! I forgot to tell Midoriya to come back right away. This is bad. The only reason he's still going with those injuries is because of the endorphins pumping through his body. It's temporary. Once he's accomplished his goals and calms down a little, he won't be able to move at all."

Kota says, "Mister. Is he gonna be okay?" Dad looks down at the kid hanging onto him as he continues, "I...I sort of punched him before. And still, he got beat to a pulp just so he could protect me." Kota tightens his grip now crying. Kota says, "I never apologized. Or even thanked him. Please tell me...He's not gonna get hurt more, right?"

Dad says, "Don't worry. He sustained those injuries because he has no intention of dying. Though, as his teacher, when this is over, I'll have to scold him for acting without my permission."

Kota gasps and says, "Really?"

Dad says, "Anyway. You'll get your chance to talk to him again. And when you do, put more emphasis on the 'thank you' part."
