Love The Way You Lie
Author's Note: Hey everyone and welcome back to Love The Way You Lie! So the last chapter wasn't much action because I like to try and mellow out non-stop action. However, here we are! The last part to How To Save A Life! So these past two chapters plus this one became so much longer than I thought I would get but I decided to add in a scene at last minute and I think it worked out okay. Anyway, on with the fic!
Additional Notes: For these last three chapters the version of "How To Save A Life" I listen to for it is Alex Goot's cover. To me its more high energy compared to the original by The Fray. I love both versions btw. So what do you think of the Future Trio, should they stick around for a few more chapters?
Chapter Warnings: The same as before for the last two chapters. The only other difference is Character Death is included in this chapter.
Chapter Twenty Five: How To Save A Life Part Three
Chapter Summary: The battle has taken a turn for the worst as Shoto is held in a hostage situation and the heroes are left to make a decision. An uncanny alliance forms as the tides change in the fight. It all comes to a head as Hizashi and Kenzou meet face to face for what could be the final time.
Shoto's grip tightened on Kenzou's arm as he attempted to claw the arm away from his throat, his air supply slowly getting cut off. The strong Alpha pheromones filled his nose as Kenzou once again started to speak towards the others. "What's your choice? Are you just going to allow for your comrade to die or step down and I'll release him."
Shoto's gaze moved to Bakugou where he watched the blonde Alpha's anger boiling. "Don't listen to him! If you stop fighting, more people will die!" He managed to shout before Kenzou's arm tightened, causing him to gasp for air. Dabi moved forward but suddenly hulted as his eyes widened. Shoto felt a knife moving up his side, almost like a caressing motion of what a lover would do with their fingers. The blade moved up from his side until it was against his cheek, right where his scar used to be.
"He has such a pretty face. My mother sure did a good job of repairing his injuries. It was a shame seeing such a beautiful boy get burned so harshly by his own mother. Rei Todoroki was just a monster who wanted to attack her own blood." Kenzou muttered, his lips ghosting over Shoto's ear. Shoto's eyes widened at the mention of his mother and the incident with the kettle. How did Kenzou know about that? Only his family and a select couple of people knew how he had gotten his scar. He wouldn't think that his brother would tell villains. Touya had his own reasons for everything he did but not once did he tell the League who he was to him.
Endeavor growled this time, screaming out, "Keep my wife's name out of your filthy mouth! You don't have a clue what you are talking about!" The flames on the hero growing stronger by the moment. "What happened with Rei was my fault. I pushed her to her limits and she snapped. If you want to talk about monster, you refer to me. I was the one who put my wife and children through hell."
Father...
Kenzou scuffed. "The flaming piece of trash speaks. You made it so easy for me to target your children. Touya... Shoto. It was easy pickings. It was you that turned your own son into a villain after all. We aren't much different." He paused for a moment, moving the knife across more of Shoto's skin. "You created a villain out of Touya. Forcing him to become Dabi."
"Villain or not. He's still my son and I will protect him." Endeavor hissed.
Endeavor growled again but stopped as Dabi took a step forward, placing himself in front of Endeavor. "I made my choice to become a villain. My father may have played a role but he didn't purposely create children to become villains." He stated as his arms started to light up blue with his flames, the fire warping around his arms.
"You wouldn't attack me, not with the risk of hitting Shoto. Would you?" Kenzou moved the knife, digging the tip into Shoto's cheek. Though it wasn't hard enough to draw blood. "Each one of you in front of me are basically villains. Touya became one. Endeavor's acts towards his blood and Bakugou's violent behavior. Just wolves hiding in sheep's clothing." He paused, ghosting the tip of the blade over Shoto's cheek and down to his neck. "Even this one has acted in villainy. When he took down Stain against the law. What makes heroes and villains so different from each other? There really isn't anything. One side can do their bidding legally while the other is illegal. Maybe, that's what is so appealing about this one. He is so easily manipulated that he will do whatever I say. Right, Shoto?"
Shoto winced as the knife knicked his throat, causing the other three to growl. Bakugou launched himself through the air with an explosion, aiming for Kenzou's face. Kenzou chuckled, using the hand with the knife, and pointing his palm towards the teenager. The air around them vibrated and Bakugou fell to the ground in a heap. With a curse, Bakugou reached up and touched his ear that had started to bleed. "You bastard!" He growled.
"For someone who is with my grandson, you sure are protective of this Omega." Kenzou shrugged. "I'm just here to take back what's mine."
Shoto growled, feeling the mixture of hot and cold inside his body flare up. "I do not belong to you." Before he could activate his quirk, a knife flew into his field of vision and hit Kenzou's hand dead on. Kenzou howled in pain as he jerked his arm away from Shoto, the Omega collapsing to the ground in a fit of coughs. Bakugou rushed forward, pulling Shoto off of the ground and away from Kenzou. "What the hell just happened?!"
Dabi's eyes landed on the knife, gaining Shoto's attention to look back to where Kenzou was now standing with the other knife still embedded into his hand. "Impossible." Dabi whispered. A moment later the ground underneath Kenzou started to crumble. "Get out of the way!" Dabi hollered, rushing over and pulling Endeavor back to his feet before rushing him away. Bakugou didn't hestitate to use his quirk to move himself and Shoto out of the way. Shoto clung to Bakugou as they flew through the air to see the villains they had previously been fighting disappear in a blue light and the ground crumpled apart. Kenzou had barely managed to get out of the way in time as the sound of foot steps echoed through the now quiet battlefield.
Shoto's eyes widened as his eyes landed on the people responsible. Tomura Shigaraki followed by Mr. Compress and Himiko Toga. "The only ones who can go after these kids are us." Shigaraki stated as he now stood within the rubble of the ground.
"The League of Villains." Shoto whispered.
"Sorry for rudely interrupting but this show can't just carry on when one of our own is in danger too." Compress added.
"We don't take to kindly to losing our pack." Toga added, a hand on her hip as she threw another blade at another villain who started after them.
Compress looked over to where Bakugou and Shoto had landed next to Dabi and Endeavor, his face hidden behind his mask. "It's good to see that you are okay, Dabi. For you kids, your fellow students will be arriving soon. For now, allow us to help you." He stated before he and the other two villains rushed towards Kenzou. Kenzou barely managing to dodge their attacks.
"Dabi! I'm so glad that you're alive man!" Another voice rang out from behind them, causing the four to jump. "I should kill you myself for scaring me like that!" Twice said.
Dabi cracked a smile. "It's good to see you, Twice. How did you guys get here?"
Twice gave a thumbs up. "Bonds are powerful, man. We just knew you needed us!/You bastard didn't tell us, we knew you were here."
Dabi rolled his eyes as he stood up and stood next to Twice's side. "Let's fry these bastards." He stated before running out alongside his former team member towards the other villains.
Shoto's eyes moved to the rest of the battlefield where the battle once again started up. Almost as if on cue, Class B joined in with Ibara using her veins to restrain some of the villains. TetsuTetsu joined in by Kirishima alongside Kendo. Monoma wasn't far away from them, using electricity that he had clearly gotten from Kaminari. The rest of the B class were spread out by the other students of Class A.
Shoto found his way back to his feet, sharing a glance with Bakugou. Bakugou didn't say anything but rather smirked at him. The two also ran out, moving towards the fighting and joining in where they were needed.
x
Minato, Koyuki, and Kirito moved quickly as they started to create a path through some of the villains. They had watched as Class B had broken their way out of their own dorms using TetsuTetsu's steel quirk. They class rushing head on into the fray of villains. Not one of them hestitating to attack a villain that was attacking their fellow U.A. students and pro heroes.
Kirito kept his eyes on Minato's back as they continued on. Koyuki had stopped at a group fo students, their confusion clear on their faces as she jumped in to help them. The girl using her quirk to change her position whenever a villain would send an attack at her.
"Find Kane!" She shouted as she launched her own attack. Kirito called back a confirmation and hurried after Minato. A smile ghosted his lips as he watched the Alpha in front of him. He wasn't the only one at stake in that moment. Minato also knew the cost if their mission wasn't successful.
Rather or not if they were successful, he knew that he was in for it when he got home back in his own time. Kirito drew his blade from where it resided on his back, slashing at a villain who lashed out at him. His mind ventured to Kaede for a moment. The woman should remain unconscious for the time being but they would need to notify someone of her location before she woke up. She was just as much of a snake as her son. There was a reason that no one, even the heroes, suspected she knew anything of the Ring and Kenzou's actions.
They had been right with their words when they said it was Hawks who was their true downfall. Kaede managed to keep her cover with Shoto Todoroki but going after Hawks had been the final straw. He could only figure that the heroes and U.A. had put the pieces together about the Hero Commission and Kaede's role. Hawks was an Alpha in the eyes of the public. The drugs that had been fed to him were dangerous and only meant to be used for Alphas who struggled with their own dynamic. It was a lot like the Alpha Instinct that had been given to Present Mic by Shizuka Yamada. The woman knowing full well that those meds can cause an over flow of pheromones in an Alpha. Her plan had worked out in the end with Eri. It was clear that Shizuka had been working against them the entire time when Kaede tried to place herself as the one who wanted to help. Kaede had the same mindset as All for One. Present Mic was his mother through and through. The same tricks used on him, had been used on his mother to keep her in line.
Though, Kirito couldn't say much when it came to the children that came because of the Ring. Minato and Koyuki both came from the ring. Kirito couldn't imagine his life without them. Koyuki had taken an administrative rule at the Hero Commission and Minato worked a lot like Hawks had, working directly for the Hero Commission and the Endeavor Hero Agency in their time. Kirito, himself, had just started an internship at the Endeavor Hero Agency and in turn also had access to the Hero Commission because of it. His time was peaceful despite still having criminals and villains. He feared just how much of his time would change by the time they left here and returned. Their presence alone could do damage if they weren't careful. He was already afraid that Deku and Hitoshi had recognized him somehow. He had to be more careful then his team mates.
By the end of the night, he was sure their identities would be exposed to the heroes and they didn't have a way of deleting their presence.
He could feel his own Omega instincts flaring up in him as he ran across the battlefield, ducking and attacking when he could.
Minato suddenly stopped in front of him, causing Kirito to crash into his back. "The League of Villains are here." Minato muttered, the disbelief clear in his voice as his eyes lingered in front of them. Sure enough, Shigaraki, Toga, and Compress were battling Kenzou alongside Twice, Dabi, and Endeavor. Kirito felt his jaw drop as he saw Endeavor willingly working alongside the villains to go after Kenzou. Somehow, Kenzou managed to keep the six at bay.
Kenzou knocked back the four villains, pushing them far enough away to put his attention onto Endeavor and Dabi. Kirito couldn't hear what the man was saying but he could feel the anger radiating off of the two Todorokis. "He's trying to get them to overuse their quirks to where they are out of commission for the fight. He knows he can't take on flame attacks. Especially Dabi's." Kirito deducted.
"That's what I was thinking. It's not necessarily throwing attacks. He's dodging more than anything. Shigaraki also is a huge problem for him with his decay quirk." Minato added. "The League was never supposed to be here. How the hell are they here?"
Kirito's eyes lingered on Dabi for a moment before it clicked. "Pack bonds. When Dabi's body was reversed, according to his records he had lost his bonds with them but it was unknown if it was the same on both sides. They could of felt through their bonds that something was wrong and came to the aid of Dabi. Shigaraki is known for protecting his own. In his own way, he cares for the members of the League."
Minato nodded. "That has to be it. We have to allow a moment of rest for those two. It clear Endeavor is starting to overheat. He's been involved with this battle since the start. Dabi was at U.A. cause they were unsure if his quirk was unstable due to the reversal of his body. Better safe then sorry."
Kirito agreed. "We could really use Bakugou-sensei and Deku-san right now." The teenager allowed himself to look away for a moment, looking over to where he could see Deku and Bakugou fighting together alongside Shoto and Hitoshi. "The villains have been cut back by a large amount with the help of Class A and B. They seemed to have turned the tides."
"We better hurry." Minato stated.
Kirito nodded, turning back towards where Kenzou was. Minato jumped from where he was standing, using his quirk to fly up into the air. With a shout, Minato powered his quirk into the palm of his hand, changing his path in mid flight, a ball of fire swirled in his hand. With a shout, he collided with Kenzou, hitting the fire attack square to Kenzou's chest. Kirito followed closely behind, using his sword the second that Minato backed away.
Minato flipped backwards landing next to Dabi with his fire still lit in his hand. "Who the hell are you?" Endeavor questioned. Minato turned his head to look at him and suddenly both Dabi and Endeavor were looking at him with wide eyes.
Seems like I'm not the only one who is getting recognized. Kirito thought as his body was pushed back by the force the wind building up around Kenzou. He let out a gasp as his feet completely left the ground, blowing him up into the air. "Kirito!" Minato called out.
He grunted as his body connected with another and he looked up to see Deku smiling at him. "Hey there! I should probably thank you for what you did in the dorms."
Kirito blinked as he landed back on the ground to see Bakugou and Shoto now also standing by the other three. The League of Villains were also back to their feet and standing not far behind them. Kirito's feet were placed back on the ground and he gave a quick thank you to Deku.
Kenzou stood before them, holding both of his hands out in front of him. After a second, the air around them seemed to vibrate, causing each of them to fall to their knees with their hands clamped over their ears. Kirito struggled to stay on his feet as the vibrations got worse, more powerful by the growing second. If they didn't act quickly they would all be unconscious before they could even move.
Kirito's eyes widened as he heard a shout of his name from Minato. His gaze connected with blue and Minato gave him a nod. It was time. Kirito closed his eyes, focusing on the two people who could be the most effective against Kenzou. While each of them had their own strengths, at least these two had a shot of getting around Kenzou's offensive moves when the villain finally decided to attack.
The one thing he loved about quirks was the diversity and other applications of a quirk. He had seen it with Shoto, Lemillion, Suneater, Earphone Jack, and so many others. Hitoshi had been the one to give him the idea to use his quirk as an offensive rather than support. His quirk was more versatile than what he originally thought growing up. His short time at U.A. had proven that it was so much more. His quirk originally wouldn't allow him to just be a pro hero on his own but instead a side kick or support hero. That was until he learned the application of applying his quirk just the same as what he had originally came to learn from his quirk. Similiarly to Hitoshi's brainwashing quirk, he could manipulate someone's actions with his voice. The way he saw his quirk, he could either weaken or strengthen those around him with just a song.
He had discovered it completely by accident when he was singing one day. He grew up knowing his quirk was his voice but jokingly before the start of his high school career and goofing off with his friends, he had accidentally strengthened Bakugou's quirk while the man had been training with Deku and Shoto in the training field by their house. From then on, he knew his quirk was so much more.
He focused all of his thoughts on Bakugou and Deku, who were still struggling to get to their feet. Think. Strengthen their bodies.. their quirks. Their everything. You can do this, Kirito. You've done it before during your internship. You did it during the Sports Festival. Earphone Jack and Bakugou-sensei put their faith in you. Show them what you can do! He hyped himself up.
"Step one, you say you need to talk. He walks, you say sit down, it's just a talk. He smiles politely back at you. You stare politely right on through." He started to sing, opening his eyes to see a golden glow starting to surround the two people he was thinking of. He couldn't use the aspect of the part of his quirk on much people without weakening the effects but he could at least do enough. He watched as Bakugou and Deku shared a look and were able to get back to their feet. He could see the confusion written on their faces but neither said anything as they stood back into a fighting stance. Kenzou's frustrations were clear as he yelled out at them, claiming that they shouldn't be able to get back to their feet. Kirito continued on, keeping his focus on just those two. "Some sort of window to your right. As he goes left, and you stay right. Between the lines of fear and blame. You begin to wonder why you came."
Bakugou used his quirk to launch himself into the air, getting above the air pressure that was currently being manipulated by Kenzou. Deku pushed ahead straight through towards Kenzou. Shoto had managed to move next to him, using his ice quirk to start cooling down Dabi. Monoma had came to their aid, copying Shoto's ice quirk to do the same to Endeavor. Minato was almost also back to his feet, pushing off of the ground as he placed himself between Kenzou and the other Todorokis.
"Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend. Somewhere along in the bitterness. And I would have stayed up with you all night. Had I known how to save a life." Kirito continued, watching on as Bakugou sent two explosions towards Kenzou, missing Deku as Deku kicked Kenzou in the direction of Bakugou. The two working together to keep Kenzou at bay. Kirito figured they had also figured out Kenzou's plan to knock them out cold and were acting to keep him from using his quirk more. Kirito continued on singing the song, keeping his eyes glued to the two that were currently flying through the air.
"This is your quirk isn't it?" Shoto questioned, looking over to Kirito. Kirito didn't look at him but nodded.
Kenzou's movements were getting slower as Bakugou and Deku continued their own attacks, switching which side on him they were aiming for so he couldn't fight back. "ENOUGH!" Kenzou roared, holding out a hand in each direction of his opponents and using his quirk to blast them back. Bakugou flying backwards and his back colliding with a tree. He fell to a heep on the ground as Deku was also flung back and crashed into the ground with a loud thud.
The three League members rushed forward. Shigaraki holding his hand out, ready to use his decay against Kenzou. Kenzou effortlessly moved both hands to send an attack out. He managed to get Compress away from him before the man could touch him for his quirk. Toga threw out two knives as she was blown backwards and Shigaraki was thrown back into Kirito. The air was knocked out of Kirito as him and Shigaraki crumpled to the ground. Minato stood up from his spot and rushed to Kirito's side. Helping him and the villain up.
"The bastard is just gonna keep blowing us back. My quirk didn't help." Kirito wheezed, trying to get oxygen into his lungs.
Minato shook his head. "No, it did enough. You forget that you are still just a kid sometimes. You're quirk isn't fully developed yet. You did enough that Kenzou is now not underestimating any of them. He's on edge. He's bound to make a mistake." He stated.
Kirito nodded, coughing as he finally managed to take in a full breath. "His quirk is Sound Manipulation... he shouldn't be able to use it on this scale." Kirito said, watching as Kenzou started walking towards them.
"Probably some sort of enhancement. Drug or quirk. It's hard to tell with people connected to All for One." Minato stated. He launched a blast of fire towards Kenzou, only for it to get blown away. "Damnit!" Again he sent out another attack, only for Kenzou to do the same thing.
"You. You foiled my plan before and now your meddling again. You used that little quirk of yours to help those two brats break free. You've made yourself a target." Kenzou growled.
Kirito clutched onto his blade, preparing to attack as Kenzou once again used his manipulation to send Shigaraki and Minato away from him. The villain activated his quirk once more with his hand in the direction of Kirito. The teenager grimaced as the pressure in his ears started to build up and black dots were clouding his vision. He could feel the shakiness coming to his limbs as he tried to clamber back to his feet in an attempt to get away. Kenzou walked forward, the vibrations around Kirito getting stronger. The teenager cringed as he slumped to the ground.
The sound of heavy foot falls filled Kirito's ears, the steps getting closer by the second before suddenly Kenzou's quirk stopped. Kirito heaved as nausea pulled in his stomach. He managed to lift his head enough to see Present Mic all but tackle Kenzou to the ground. The two Yamada men sliding across the ground before stopping. Mic stood up, taking a few steps back as Kenzou rushed back to his feet.
"You bastard child." Kenzou growled.
Mic just smirked, taking a deep breath before releasing an attack with his own voice. Kenzou clapped his hands over his ears, crouching down to the ground. Shakily, he held his hand out and manage to nullify Mic's attack. Mic stood up with his back straight. "This ends tonight, Kenzou. This is just between you and me. Leave them out of this."
Kirito eyed the two for a moment. Kenzou's long distance attacks weren't as strong as his close range. Mic was better at long range attacks but his close range could be deadly. They could nullify each other's quirks with one attack. With their attacks, no one else could get close without the chance of backlash from the attacks. There could also be the chance that Endeavor, Shoto, or Minato could land an attack or possibly even Shigaraki. There was still the risk of hitting the others around them if they weren't careful or one of Mic or Kenzou's attacks sending it back.
All they could really do was wait for an opening or leave it to Mic to finish the fight. The fights behind them were still on going but it was handled with the heroes and the students. He moved his gaze away from the two Yamadas in search of Bakugou and Deku. Deku was back to his feet while Bakugou was struggling slightly getting up while bracing his ribs. Once confirming those two were okay, he looked over to Endeavor and the others. Endeavor no longer looked as flushed as before and Dabi was looking much better. Shoto and Monoma had both stopped cooling the two and were back on their feet. Compress, Shigaraki, and Toga were standing by, ready to attack at any moment. Shigaraki was practically bubbling in rage, ready to rush towards Kenzou. It seemed the only reason he hadn't moved was because of Compress and Toga.
Kirito put his focus back onto Mic and Kenzou. The two were still sending attacks at each other, neither getting closer to the other. Kenzou lashed out, running forward. His hands landing on the directional speaker on Mic's neck. Mic tried to jerk away from him but Kenzou had activated his quirk before he could, the force of the pressure around the item causing it to break and fall to the ground.
"Mic-sensei!" The three U.A. students yelled out. Kenzou moved in with the same knife that he had used against Shoto, slashing towards Mic who had barely moved back in time to dodge the tip of the blade.
"We need to do something!" Minato called out.
Endeavor, Dabi, and Shoto were now standing side by side. "One massive attack. It should be enough. We can end this." Dabi stated, standing in the middle of the other two. Endeavor seemed to of agreed, sharing a look with Dabi. With a nod, a motion familiar to Kirito, the three lit up in flames. Minato rushed forward, doing the same motion, joining in next to Shoto. With a yell, all four said, "PROMINENCE BURN!" The mixture of orange and blue flames flying in Kenzou's direction before the man could even blink. Mic jumped out of the way at last second.
Kirito's eyes widened as he watched the flames dance around the battle field. It would of been a beautiful site to him if it wasn't the risk of what could happen if they failed tonight.
After a moment, the flames disappeared and smoked filled the area around them. Kirito placed a hand over his mouth as he could hear Shigaraki actually praise the heroes and Dabi for their actions.
The air was silent until a chuckle filled the air, sending a pit of despair over them. Kenzou stood in the same place, unharmed from the flames. "What the hell?" Dabi questioned.
"Seems like he used his quirk to manevuer the air around him like a shield." Compress deducted.
Shoto growled slightly, stomping his right foot into the ground and sending out a wave of ice. Only for Kenzou to jump away. Mic took his chance to throw a punch at his father and knock him into the ice. Kenzou chuckled, wiping blood off of his chin. "You should know better than any one else boy. You can't beat me." Kenzou taunted. "That's why your little Omega is gonna be mine. Why that boy over there will be. They need an Alpha who can take care of them."
"SHUT UP!" Dabi screamed out, sending out a burst of fire towards Kenzou. Kenzou ducked out of the way, tackling Mic to the ground. With a grip to Mic's long blonde hair, he forced the man's body in front of him, between him and the fire users.
"Maybe I should go get Keigo too. I never did get to complete the job with him." Kenzou added, his voice teasing as he taunted the eldest Todoroki child. "He's always been a prize that I couldn't have."
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Dabi screamed once more, ready to attack again only for Endeavor to stop him. "Old man! Let me at him!"
"No! He's taunting you to get you to attack. He wants you to attack cause Present Mic is in the way. Don't let him get to you!" Endeavor huffed as he struggled to pin Dabi's arms down. "He knows that you will attack to protect Hawks and Shoto. He's targeting that instinct. That's how he managed to manipulate so many people for years."
Dabi huffed as he stopped struggling. Shigaraki, Compress, and Toga rushed forward ready. Shigaraki's hand was raised and Toga had a knife drawn. With his free hand, Kenzou raised it just like he had done before. Compress, grabbed Shigaraki's wrist, sending the leader up into the air before turning himself into a marble. Toga had thrown her knife, it sticking into the ground in front of Mic.
Mic reached for the blade as the air pressure built, reaching around him and slicing through his hair. Falling to the ground, he rolled out of the way as Shigaraki came down in the air and landed on top of Kenzou. Kenzou held the arm that now had just a bundle of blonde hair in it and Shigaraki's hand clutched at his forearm, quickly decaying the skin and bone. Kenzou used his other arm to throw a punch and nailed Shigaraki in the temple, causing the blue haired Alpha to fall beside him. Kenzou screeched in pain as the decay continued up his arm. He grabbed ahold of his knife, grimacing as he quickly started to cut into his skin before disposing of the decaying limb. Even the sight made Kirito cringe as blood splattered on the ground.
"You son of a bitch!" Kenzou screamed at Shigaraki. The leader only smirking at him as Toga came to his aid and slashed at Kenzou, landing a cut on his cheek. Kenzou continued to attempt dodging as Mic got back ot his feet and Compress came out of his marble.
"Out of the way, Compress!" Dabi shouted. Compress grabbed ahold of Mic's arm, pulling him out of the way as a swirl of orange flames from Endeavor and blue from Dabi rushed towards Kenzou. The villain barely managing to dodge but his still attached arm getting hit by the flames.
Compress moved forward, his hand outstretched to capture the villain only for Kenzou to kick him away. On accident Compress created a crater in the ground from the activation of his quirk, rolling in alongside Mic and Toga as the girl was kicked away from Kenzou.
"Can we please just kill this bastard?!" Shigaraki groaned as Kenzou avoided another attack from him.
Bakugou, Shoto, and Deku joined in quickly. Bakugou using his explosion to send Deku rocketing towards Kenzou like a bullet. "Manchester Smash!" He yelled out, kicking Kenzou in the side of the head. Shoto sent out more ice, catching the villain's feet. Bakugou used his quirk to perpel himself towards the villain, holding his hand out and creating an explosion straight in Kenzou's face, knocking the man out of the ice and away from them.
Endeavor and Dabi had also joined, sending out another flame attack together aimed for Kenzou. Kenzou rolled away just in time but was caught on his back from the flames. The material of his shirt becoming burnt and blistering skin left behind.
Kirito was back to his feet, clutching his blade once more. Minato next to him as they moved forward with their own attack. Minato's hands lit up in blue flames as they ran forward. Kenzou had managed to stumble to his feet as Kirito gained speed, slashing at his chest where the remains of Minato's first attack remained visible. The skin sliced easily, leaving a large gash across the man's chest. The villain screamed out as Minato balled the fire around his palm again. "Heaven's flame!" He yelled out, connecting once again with the side of Kenzou's face, leaving behind blistering skin across his cheek and neck. The man went flying backwards from the blow and collided with the same tree that he had sent Bakugou into before.
Kenzou growled, forcing himself back to his feet. "Before... I wasn't using my full power." With his remaining hand he put it into the air, pointing at the heroes and the League. The power now had been much greater from the previous attacks. Kirito could feel the blood pooling in his ears as his feet gave out. He felt like he couldn't breathe as he fell to the ground. The others around him doing the same.
"I can't... I can't counter this. It's too large of a scale." Mic grunted as he started to push himself up. The headphones on his ears, the only defense against the loud sound. "If he keeps this up..." Mic couldn't finish talking as the attack suddenly stopped, much to even Kenzou's surprise.
"Fucking figures that somehow he would end up out here." Kenzou smirked.
Kirito looked over his shoulder to see Aizawa and Hawks. Aizawa was braced on Hawks' side, his arm thrown over the blonde's shoulder. His hair floating in the air and eyes glowing red. "Figures you think you could beat the people here." Aizawa hissed, his body clearly still weak.
"I've been doing a pretty damn good job." Kenzou stated. "They haven't beaten me yet."
Aizawa returned a smirk to the man. "They already have."
It was almost as if on cue that suddenly a knife was in Kenzou's abdomen, a gloved hand attacked the handle as it was drug through his gut. Mic pulled his hand away as Kenzou crumpled completely to the ground, bleeding out of the wound. "I told you that I would gut you." He stated.
Shigaraki stepped forward, noticing the hesitation that Mic held within himself. "I'll finish this." He simply said, kneeling down next to Kenzou. No one said a word as Shigaraki placed his hand over Kenzou's face. A few seconds later, Kenzou had completely decayed underneath his hand and all that was left was the blade that had been left in the man's gut.
Kirito looked away from the them, looking over to see that the rest of the villains had been subdued. Compress having moved away from them and started to help with capture efforts with the help of Toga. He paused as he felt eyes lingering on his back, peering over to see Aizawa's eyes glued on him. An unknown look in the man's eyes. His attention was pulled away as he felt a hand land on his shoulder and Minato was smiling down at him. "Our mission is complete. Lets find Koyuki so we can go home."
Kirito nodded, allowing Minato to help him off of the ground. "Kirito, Blueflame! I'm so glad you're okay!" Koyuki exclaimed as she rushed over, her arms wrapping around the two.
"Perfect timing." Kirito muttered.
She pulled away with a smile. "Lets go home before we get questioned." She whispered. Her hands starting to glow as she grabbed both of their wrists. Kirito's heart skipped a beat as suddenly Koyuki's eyes rolled into the back of her head and she started falling. Minato reached out, catching her before she fell.
"Damnit. She overused her quirk." Minato said.
"Take her to the dorms, Recovery Girl will be there. She will help her." Aizawa stated. Minato nodded, not thinking twice as he scooped her up completely and started for the dorms. Aizawa's attention was now on Kirito. "I don't know who you kids are but you have some explaining to do." Kirito sighed in defeat as he nodded. Aizawa's attention then moved to the League members. "And the League is here. It only gets better."
"We had to come help, Dabi! We had to know if he was okay!" Toga exclaimed, smiling as she skipped over to the former League member. Her arms wrapping around him. "Now that he's safe. We will be on our way."
Aizawa seemed to contemplate it for a moment before nodding. "Just this once but you ever come after my kids again. I will not hesitate."
Kirito was sure he heard Shigaraki mutter about how cool Eraserhead was before a warp gate appeared behind the League leader and he stepped through, followed by Compress and Toga. Twice nodded at Dabi before jumping through and the gate closed.
"Why did you just let them go?" Dabi questioned, his eyes wide as he looked at Aizawa.
"We shouldn't have but it was clear they weren't here for any of us. Will will get them again." Aizawa replied. Hawks just grinned to him, sharing a look with Dabi.
"The police should be here soon. Kendo from Class B already let us know about Kaede being on the roof of their dorms. They saw those three and went and investigated." Hawks explained, motioning towards Kirito.
Quiet filled around them as the students listened and started for their respective dorms, leaving the pro heroes behind to handle the the subdued villains. "Shouldn't you be resting?!" Mic exclaimed, his eyes landing on Aizawa. "You literally had just practically died and gave birth."
Aizawa rolled his eyes, a small smile playing on his lips. "Just another day on the job."
"You are unbelievable." Mic muttered.

The police had arrived roughly ten minutes after the League had disappeared through the warp gate and the students were back in their dorms. Cementoss had did a quick patch of Heights Alliance, saying it would get fixed up better later. Recovery Girl made rounds on the students, doing a quick heal of their injuries. Luckily, none of them being severe. The worst being Bakugou's bruised ribs from colliding with the tree. Once she was completed, she moved off to Class B's dorms.
The police had arrested the villains and captured Kaede. What had probably surprised anyone the most was no one mentioned the League of Villains in their line of questioning. It was as if the League was never there. Mic stood in Heights Alliance, not far from Hitoshi.
Shouta watched his students. These brave, brave students for their actions that night. They had put their all into it. Protected him and his pup. Protected the other pro heroes. Protected each other. He was proud of them. Though he would of rather of them stayed within the dorm for their safety, he knew that they would never actually just stand by when they knew they could help.
It was like the USJ all over again. 107 villains had been captured. Even the ones that had been in Compress' marbles had been freed prior to the man leaving but quickly captured by the pros around them. As far as anyone knew, only the heroes and students were involved in the fight.
His eyes lingered on the three strangers. He couldn't place it but he recognized them all. It was clear the blonde haired man was Minato Todoroki and the girl was an older Koyuki. Their appearances were older but he couldn't forget what they looked like. Hawks had told him the same thing when they were walking back to the dorms. The same two kids that Hawks had saved before his capture at the hands of Kenzou Yamada. The third kid was more of a sense of familiarity. He recognized him the minute he saw his face and caught his scent. It was the girl's quirk. He knew it, it would be the only way the two older version of kids would be here and a teenager who seemly knew who they all were. That third kid was Kazuto. His newborn pup, only now he was a teenager. The shape of his eyes were Hizashi's but the rest of him was Shouta. He could only begin to imagine what went down that brought the three here but at the moment, he wouldn't question it until the police were gone and everything had calmed down.
His attention was pulled as he heard Hizashi gasp and his body slammed into the wall by one of the police officers. "Hizashi Yamada, you are under arrest." The officer stated. "For leaking information to the League of Villains and being an accomplice to kidnapping of Katsuki Bakguou."
Hizashi didn't fight the officer as his hands were cuffed behind his back and he was pulled away from the wall. Liek he had been expecting it to happen the entire time. Shouta's heart skipped a beat as he jumped up, pain coursing through his gut for a moment.
His eyes widened as Endeavor stepped forward, his hands up in front of him. "That won't be necessary. Present Mic was only working under orders." The man having entered the building just a moment before with Tsukauchi behind him.
"He's the U.A. traitor. He gave the League the informaton that lead to the kidnapping of a student." The police officer retorted, starting to lead Hizashi towards the door.
"Only under orders from the Endeavor Hero Agency." Endeavor stated. Hawks and Aizawa both shared a look of disbelief. Even Hizashi's face was covered in the same look. "Present Mic has been working undercover with my agency to infiltrate the League of Villains as well as gain information for the trafficking ring for the Hawks Hero Agency." Endeavor added.
Hawks hopped up, placing a smile on his face. "That's right. Present Mic was even with me when my agency stormed the stronghold of the head of the ring. Helping save countless Omegas and Betas as well as children."
The police officer didn't look so convinced until Tsukauchi spoke up. "They are telling the truth."
Small footsteps came up from behind Tsukauchi and Nezu appeared next to him. "That is correct. Present Mic came to me as a teenager when he first came to U.A. and told me what his mission had originally been. I got in touch with Endeavor and he's been working with us to gather information since he was a teenager."
"Present Mic is a hero and only that. He never fell into villainy except under orders to pretend to do so to trick the League and his father." Endeavor finished.
The police officer finally seemed convinced and uncuffed Hizashi. The blonde rubbed his wrists for a moment as the officer gave his apologizes. "I will let your captain know of the misunderstanding. Present Mic's mission was kept under secrecy to protect his family and students. I only discovered this for myself during the inital betrayal." Tsukauchi stated with a smile on his face.
"Yes, sir." The officer stated, walking out of the dorm room in a hurry.
Shouta's jaw had dropped as he looked between the five. "What the hell is happening?" He questioned.
"I do apologize, Aizawa-kun but I have known about Mic since your time at U.A. I didn't have full proof so I couldn't question him." Nezu stated. "So the least I can do now is help him."
"There was no mission was there?" He questioned.
Endeavor just smiled at him and turned around to look at Shoto and Dabi. "Now that this is all over, Touya..." He muttered. Dabi's gaze lingered on him for a moment before suddenly his arms were wrapped around Endeavor's torso, taking the hero by surprise. Shoto joined him a second later. Shouta felt a smile come to his lips as Hizashi walked over and stood next to him.
Shouta looked up at Hizashi and eyed his hair. "Hmm, I haven't seen your hair that short since high school."
Hizashi frowned slightly. "I know. My long lucious hair."
Shouta snorted. "I read Kaede's notebook. You had told me about all of this when we were younger. She manipulated us both and pulled the same shit she had with Eri." He whispered.
"I know there is nothing I can do to make any of this up to you but I will spend the rest of my life proving to you that I never meant to hurt any of you." The blonde whispered, his fingers grazing over Shouta's hand.
"Why don't you come meet your other son." Shouta whispered, grabbing Hizashi's hand and leading him towards the nearby room that no one was lingering in.
Laying in a bassinet, sleeping soundly was the small pup with a head of black hair. Shouta pulled Hizashi completely up to the small bed. He dropped his hand, reaching in and pulling out the small bundle. With a small smile, he carefully handed the pup over into Hizashi's waiting arms. "I know what you did with my birth control but... I'm glad you did."
Hizashi looked up at him in shock. "Why? I basically forced you to have another kid."
Shouta smiled, looking back through the open door way to where Kirito was talking to Bakugou and Midoriya. "That teenager." He started, Hizashi's gaze moving to the boy as well. "Is this pup. The problem child and those two came back to the past for whatever reason and he saved Hitoshi and Midoriya. He helped take down Kenzou and Kaede. Whatever happened in their time... it lead them here." He paused. "I'm not saying I'm glad because he came and took down some villains and saved our son. I'm glad that despite how he was conceived, we created another beautiful child. Hitoshi... Eri... Kazuto."
"Kazuto.." Hizashi muttered, looking back down to the sleeping pup.
"Strangely enough all of this... you being born a villain, your parents... it lead to so much. To our kids." Shouta paused once more, looking over to Endeavor where he smiling down at Touya and Shoto, talking to his sons. "Bringing Touya back to his family. Shoto... so many great things came out of all of this. I don't think I could say without a doubt, I would want to change any of it."
Hizashi smiled softly, cooing at the pup in his arms. "There are some things I wish I could change." Shouta nodded, knowing exactly what it was that he was referring to. "But at the same time, where would we be now. These kids."
"We will never know but we can't rewrite the past. We can only look to the future." Shouta stated.
"Dad, Papa." Hitoshi's voice carried in.
"Daddy!" Eri chirped.
The two were smiling at the door. Hitoshi leaning against the frame and Eri bouncing on her feet. Shouta just smiled at them as the two walked into the room, Hitoshi's arms wrapping around him and Eri around his leg. Hitoshi reached out with his other arm, bringing Hizashi closer to them.
Shouta didn't even care how long they stood there. It just felt complete again. The fight with Kenzou was over but the battle was only just beginning.
