Coco: Hey, guys, I know I said I was going to wait until Saturday to post this chapter, but all your responses just made me want to go ahead and post it XD I love all the love you guys are giving this story. Thank-you all so much for that :D

Anyway, enjoy the chapter!

Ayano let out a sigh as she tilted her head. Around her a large wind storm roared with rain in the mix. She felt cold to the bone already, but things could be worse. She then raised her hand to raise and slam a villain into the building next to her so hard it knocked him out.

"I knew we might be thrown into battle, but I had no idea they'd throw us this far apart." Ayano said to herself. "I'm just glad I set up the link between everyone. Took longer than expected due to all the voices of the villains added on."

But it was made meaning she could keep track of her classmates. Ayano then turned quickly when two villains tried to take her from behind. However, she didn't need to handle them as Dark Shadow appeared and took them down. Meaning, Fumikage was here. Ayano looked to see said student as he hurried over with Koji.

"Ishida, are you alright?" Fumikage questioned.

"Yes," Ayano said nodding. "Thank-you. Now, I need to ensure the safety of everyone else."

Fumikage and Koji looked at her in confusion as she placed two fingers to her temple.

'Everyone,' She called out with her mind.

Fumikage and Koji stiffened when hearing her voice ringing through their minds so clearly. They also heard shocked gasps that sounded like their classmates in their heads as well.

'Ishida, is that you?' Hachiro's voice came through the mind link.

'Yes,' Ayano replied before smashing another incoming villain into the ground with a psionic wall.

This villain's advance had Fumikage and Koji shifting for a fight though Ayano remained calm.

'I knew our chances of getting out were slim, so I connected all of us mentally.' Ayano explained. 'Even Thirteen-sensei and Aizawa-sensei are connected. I figured if we were forced to fight this way we'd all be able to keep track of each other to help each other out.'

'Good thinking, Ishida!' Momo praised. 'Now we can all strategize with each other.'

Ayano just wished she had been a bit faster at connecting everyone together. However, things couldn't be changed now.

'Everyone, please sound off.' Ayano requested. 'I need to know where everyone is and whom is with who. For example, I am in the Squall Zone with Tokoyami-kun and Koda-kun.'

'I am with Jiro and Kaminari,' Momo checked in. 'We are on the Mountain Zone. There are multiple villains here. It seems as if they separated us so to take us down in small groups.'

'Yes, I believe that's true,' Izuku added in. 'I was sent to the Shipwreck Zone with Asui and Mineta. These villains seem unaware of our quirks though. If they knew, they wouldn't have sent Asui here.'

Ayano expected as much. They sent Fumikage to such a dark place where something like a shadow quirk would be more effective.

'This is Iida,' Tenya cut in. 'Can you hear me, Jinsoku?'

Ayano blinked wondering why Tenya would need Ayumi specifically. Did he need her speed?

'Yo, Class Rep,' Ayumi replied. 'I'm here. I was sent to the landslide zone with Todoroki and Hagakure. You need me? Where are you? I'll be there in a flash.'

'Yes, Thirteen, wants me to run to get help, but you are much faster than I.' Tenya said. 'You should be the one to get help.'

'Negative,' Ayano shut down quickly gaining shock from Tenya. 'Jinsoku-chan would be better off here. If any of us become in a bind, she can rush to give aid in the matter of seconds. Besides, even if she can get to the school quickly, the faculty cannot follow back just as quickly. Either way, it'd take nearly the same amount of time to get help for either of you to run for it.'

She could sense Tenya's unhappy acceptance as he went silent and said no more.

'I understand you wish to stay, Iida-kun,' Ayano said. 'However, we—your classmates—are depending on you to get help. If you don't, there is a possibility some of us could die.'

Her words sent a chill through the mind link that made things seem all too quiet.

'We'll get him out the door,' Hanta assured the class. 'Thirteen, me, Shoji, Uraraka, Ashido, Nida, and Sato can get him out to get help. You have our word.'

'Right, so everyone else worry about surviving your battles,' Rikido added.

'Then we will leave that to you.' Ayano told them. 'We put our trust in you.'

The group near the door gave confirmation as more villains started circling Ayano's group. Fumikage prepared to fight them, so Ayano could try to continue speaking with their classmates.

'Now, the rest of you,' Ayano began. 'Sound off. Katsuki, where are you?'

'I'm busy!' Katsuki shouted through the link causing many to wince. 'Get out of my head!'

Ayano sighed wondering why he had to be difficult now. But at least she knew the idiot was okay.

'Sorry, about him,' Eijiro chimed in. 'We're in the Collapse Zone. It's just the two of us, so not sure where the others are.'

'This is Kurafutoshi,' Konan reached out to the group. 'I am with Mashirao in the Fire Zone. We also have villains to face. However, we should handle them fine. As of right now we don't need assistance.'

'Good,' Ayano sighed. 'That only leaves Aoyama-kun. Aoyama-kun, are you in need of help?'

'Yeah, man, just let us know if you are,' Ayumi added. 'I'll hurry on over.'

"Moi, need help?' His voice joined the conversation. 'Non, I will shine on my own!'

Ayano sweat-dropped though supposed it was best to leave him on his own. As long as he wasn't hurt, he'd be fine along, she supposed.

'If you insist,' She said. 'As for everyone else, work on surviving this battle. While the group at the stairs works in getting Iida-kun out the rest of us focus on the villains in front of us. Also, try to get as much information as possible. We need to learn why the villains are so confident they can kill All Might. Also search for any villain that might have a jamming quirk. If getting Iida-kun outside becomes impossible, we'll need to find the interference and remove it, so we can contact the school.'

Everyone said they understood even Katsuki, which surprised Ayano. At least it showed he was listening.

'You did good getting everyone connected, Ishida,' Aizawa told the girl. 'I want you to keep track of everyone. However, it must be a strain to focus on all our minds so precisely. I want you to drop your connection to Thirteen and me. We'd only cause interference.'

Ayano wanted to protest. However, Aizawa knew what he was saying. And he was right. If there weren't so many loud villains around, it'd be easier to remain focused on her classmates. She did it so easily in middle school in a quiet class room with only rowdy classmates to worry about. Everyone here is so spread out and there's so much interference. This showed she'd need to train more on her concentration and spreading out her telepathy.

'Yes, sir,' Ayano said cutting her connections to their two teachers. 'Everyone, we'll be on our own until the rest of the faculty arrive. I will be connected to all of you at all times, but silence connections to the others. If you are in trouble, you need only send your thoughts to me. If it affects all of us, I will open the full link. Now, let's show the villains what the 24 students of Class 1-A are capable of.'

'Right!' Everyone called in unison.

Ayumi let out a breath as she came to a stop after rounding up all the villains on the landslide zone. Once they were all in one spot, Shoto froze them in place with his ice.

"Pathetic," Shoto said. "They're losing to children. Have they no shame?"

"They're obviously small-time thugs." Ayumi said shrugging. "That doesn't really matter though. I'm pretty sure those left with Aizawa are the big threats meaning their boss is with them. The sooner we finish up here the sooner we move on."

She knows Aizawa told them not to fight at first, but that was out the window.

"We need to figure out their objective first." Shoto said. "As the others have guessed as well, these villains separated us to try and pick us off. However, they didn't know any of our quirks. They had no idea Aizawa-sensei would be here as well. Meaning, they're woefully unprepared."

Ayumi couldn't argue with that. For something that seemed so well thought-out so many things had been left out. These villains either grew impatient or didn't seem to worry about them enough to do their research.

"In fact, it doesn't look like any of them have had any training." Shoto continued. "They don't have the slightest ideas how to use their quirks."

"That's harsh, my friend." Ayumi said though she was grinning.

Shoto didn't seem to care if anyone's feelings were hurt or not as he walked passed a few of the frozen villains.

"Their power…" One of the villains began. "The second we warped here that girl put exactly where she wanted us so the boy could freeze us instantly."

"Yeah, it's called teamwork, genius." Ayumi said smirking at the villain then looked to Shoto. "Though you should watch where you're freezing, Todoroki. You nearly froze Hagakure."

Shoto spared Ayumi a curious glance. Obviously, he had no idea what she was talking about. She sighed then jerked her thumb over her shoulder to gesture behind her. Shoto looked over her shoulder seeing a pair of shoes and floating gloves.

'She was here this entire time?' He thought. 'I really could have frozen her.'

"You two are so cool!" Toru said jumping up and down. "You stopped all the villains faster than I can blink!"

"Well, there's more work to be done." Ayumi said. "As Todoroki said, we need to get information out of these guys. After that we can relay it to Ishida who will inform the others."

Shoto turned his eyes on one of the villains as Ayumi said this, and the villain stiffened when seeing the cold look in his eyes.

"We already know it has something to do with All Might." Ayumi said. "That mist dude mentioned making this place his grave and the pale-haired guy seemed disappointed in his absence."

"That's true." Shoto said. "If they're so confident in this plan, they must have something or someone with enough power to kill the number one pro. I wonder if these flunkies know what their boss's ace in the hole is. At first, I believed all these villains were elite—and there were enough of them to overpower him. However, that's obviously not the case."

Two more villains, who managed to escape being frozen, ran towards Shoto. However, he froze the one in front of him, and Ayumi zipped by to kick the other one down. Once he was on the ground, Shoto froze him as well.

"Yeah, these guys can't even compare to us." Ayumi agreed. "And we're a bunch of kids—heroes-in-training."

She then turned to walk up to the villain that tried to stab Shoto with a knife. She got right in his face causing him to flinch back from her intense glare. Hagakure was even frightened by it since she's never seen Ayumi even look the smallest bit mad. However, if looks could kill, the villain would be six feet under right now.

"So, you going to tell us willingly what's going on?" Ayumi asked. "Or do we have to force it out of you?"

"We are on the tracks to be heroes, so we could like to avoid any unnecessary cruelty." Shoto added. "But we can only do that if you tell us how you plan to kill All Might. That's the only way you'll survive."

Konan looked down at the villains from her perch on top a building, which was of course on fire. These villains might not know their quirks, but they certainly put her in a spot where she couldn't use her quirk. She was almost worried she'd catch on fire herself if she got too close to the flames. Konan looked to Mashirao while silently motioning for them to move in. He nodded.

The two jumped down from the building with the villains barely having enough time to look up before they were landed on. As soon as Konan hit the first villain, she whirled around planting her foot in the next. She and Mashirao took out a couple more each before he went jumping away. He landed on a light pole with his tail, and as he hung upside down, Konan jumped up to grab his hands. He slung her up into the air then used his tail to fling himself after her.

"We're making slow progress." He commented as they ducked into a building through an open window. "Are we really helping at all?"

"All we can worry about is making it out of here and taking down as many villains as possible." Konan said calmly. "If the others were in danger, we could have heard about it by now."

Mashirao knew that was true, but he almost felt helpless. He wanted to be doing more. Konan reached out to place her hand on his shoulder.

"There are things we can do." Konan said. "As Ishida-san said, we need to try and find the villain with the quirk to block all communication to the outside. This villain most likely as an electric quirk as Kaminari-san does. If we find him, we put him out of commission to open back up communications. As we look through the villains here for him or her, we try to gather information on their plans for All Might. It might not seem like much, but those two things could ensure our victory."

Mashirao nodded then stood up with Konan. They hurried out of the room to pick their next vantage point to attack from. While Konan wanted to do a thorough job, she also wanted out of the Fire Zone as quickly as possible. She really wasn't made for such surroundings.

"Well, you heard Ishida, Iida." Hachiro said as he stood with his classmates near the entrance. "We'll get Iida out of here."

Tenya frowned though knew he just had to put his faith in his classmates, which is why he prepared his engines.

"If you guys can give me an opening, I'll pry those doors open for our Class Rep." Hachiro said pointing towards the doors. "If I can manage opening them, he can run through without trouble. It will save time that's for sure."

"Sounds like a plan." Hanta said.

Hachiro prepared to spring forward himself as the villain waited for them to finish talking.

"Even if this is your only option, are you really foolish enough to strategize in front of your enemy?!" The mist guy demanded.

He went to attack but was intercepted by Thirteen who opened her Black Hole. As he was battling with her, Hachiro, who was careful to go around the pro-hero's quirk, shot out a web to connect to the door. He pulled the web, which slung him forward. He landed on the door while using his extra strength to start forcing it open.

"Don't think you'll get the best of me you damn doors!" Hachiro shouted as he pulled with all his might.

As he was forcing them apart, Thirteen continued to keep the mist guy preoccupied. Though he didn't seem too worried.

"Ah, Black Hole the quirk that sucks up matter and turns it to dust." He said in a conversational tone. "Such an astounding power. However, you're a rescue hero, Thirteen. Skilled at saving people from disasters. Consequently, that means you have little fighting experience or battlefield awareness."

He opened a warp gate within himself, which opened up behind Thirteen. She gasped as her own quirk was turned against her. The back of her hero costume was quickly pulled up into the black hole turning it into dust along with some of her own body.

"How unfortunate, you turned yourself into dust." The villain mocked.

Thirteen quickly turned off her quirk before she could suck herself up completely in the black hole. However, the damage was done, and she knew she couldn't continue to fight.

"I'm sorry," Thirteen apologized to the frightened students as she fell forward. "He got me."

"Thirteen!" Mina cried.

Hachiro jerked his head around to watch the scene as he grit his teeth harshly. Things were going south quickly. If they didn't get Tenya outside to warn the teachers, what Thirteen did will be in vain. His classmates realized this as well as Rikido turned towards Tenya.

"Iida, get out of here!" Rikido ordered. "Go now! Nida nearly has the doors open wide enough for you to slip through."

Tenya wanted to protest, but he stopped himself as he looked towards Hachiro who gave a frustrated shout as he shoved the doors farther apart.

'Nida, is just as frustrated as I am.' Tenya realized. 'I can feel his anger. He's angry he wasn't over here with us when Thirteen was attacked. While he might not have been able to do anything if he had been here, he still feels helpless, but that isn't stopping him from clearing the doorway for me. If he can put his own personal feeling aside to help out all of us, I can we well.'

He gave a shout as he shot forward using his engine boost to get around the villain.

"A sheep trying to escape from the wolves," The villain said as he started to warp. "I simply can't allow that."

He appeared in front of Tenya who tried to slow down before he could run right into the villain. If he was warped farther away from the door, he'd be of no use to anyone.

"If other heroes arrive, it'll be harder for us to put an end to All Might." The villain continued.

Tenya grit his teeth together as he was nearly right on top of the villain. He had to help his classmates. He had to get the teachers, so to ensure their safety. He was saved by Mezo, however, as the tall youth tackled the warp villain away while trying to keep him caged in his grip even for only a small moment.

"Run!" Mezo ordered using one of his tentacles to speak. "I've got him!"

Tenya didn't waist time as he returned to running at high speeds towards the door, which Hachiro had nearly wide open. It was plenty of room for him to get through, which is all that mattered at this point.

'I'll be back,' Tenya mentally swore. 'In a flash!'

The warp villain, who managed to gather himself together again, went after Tenya. As he tried to stop their class rep, Ochaco noticed some kind of armor in the mist, which had her frowning suspiciously. She quickly got up leaving Mina to look after Thirteen.

"You won't set foot outside those doors!" The villain shouted. "I have no time for this! Be gone!"

He nearly reached Tenya who looked up wondering if he'd really be stopped here. The villain gasped, however, as he pulled back Tenya glanced back in surprise seeing Ochaco managed to grab the villain and use her quirk on him.

"I don't know what his quirk is, but he's wearing some kind of weird armor. So, he must have a physically body inside here somewhere!" Ochaco said as she tossed the villain up into the air. "Now, run, Iida!"

Tenya didn't have to be told twice as he hurried towards the door not looking back anymore. He trusted his classmates, which is all that mattered. The villain didn't want to give up though as he tried to hurry after the boy. But Hanta grabbed him with his tape, which allowed Rikido to send him flying away. Tenya shot through the gap in the door made by Hachiro while giving another burst in his engines to propel him even faster. Once he was gone, Hachiro jumped down from the doors, which had them snapping back into place. He turned towards his classmates.

"We held up our side of the plan." Hachiro said. "We need to relay to Ishida we managed to get Iida out. After that we stay here with Thirteen to look after her. If our classmates need us, we'll need to be ready to move out when called."

"Right!" Hanta and Rikido said.

Hachiro nodded then looked towards the Squall Zone where Ayano was with Fumikage and Koji.

'Ishida, this is Hachiro,' He called out to her. 'We successfully got Iida out of the U.S.J. However, Thirteen is badly wounded. I highly doubt she'll be getting up after her fight.'

'I copy,' Ayano replied in an instant. 'The others don't need to know about Thirteen's condition as of now. We can't afford to cause panic amongst them until it's safe.'

'You're right.' Hachiro agreed. 'We'll hold position until instructed otherwise. Over and out.'

He felt Ayano's presence leave his mind as he let out a sigh. Things were okay on their end for now, but he was worried for his classmates.

Katsuki let out a huff as he dropped another villain to the ground. There had been a lot of them, but none of them too powerful. Weaklings mostly.

"I think that's the last of these guys." Katsuki said. "Bunch of weaklings."

He was expecting more of a challenge, but these guys were so weak even Izuku could handle them without a problem.

"Alright," Eijiro said. "Let's hurry to the others! We know where they all are thanks to Ishida having us all check in through the mental link she set up."

"Leave it to that ginger idiot to think to do something like that." Katsuki said rolling his eyes. "And you can waste your time helping the others if you want, I'm not dealing with it."

Eijiro frowned. Katsuki couldn't really be that uncaring about their classmates. Especially not Ayano. He might not admit it, but it's obvious how he looks out of her. He even immediately stayed at her side while the rest of them tried to run as told. He knew before the orders were even given that Ayano was up to something, and he refused to move her.

"But not all of them have the offensive skills we do," Eijiro said. "We gotta make sure they're safe. Especially since we screwed things up when we got in the way earlier. If Thirteen had been able to suck up that villain then we never would have been separated like this. We have to make it up to the others."

"Obviously, you weren't listening when Aya had everyone report in." Katsuki said. "Those losers are fine. If any of them were in danger, she would have told the rest of us. Besides, I have more important things to worry about than those wannabe heroes."

There he goes insulting their classmates again. It was like he couldn't help himself or something.

"I'm gonna go destroy that warpy bastard." Katsuki growled.

"Huh?!" Eijiro exclaimed. "Our physical attacks didn't hurt that guy. Come on, don't be an idiot, man."

Katsuki turned to glare at Eijiro as his hands clenched tightly into fists at his side.

"Shut-up!" Katsuki snapped. "I'm going to take him down because he's their way in and out. If I cut out their escape route, they'll be stuck here and have to pay for what they've done! We'll just have to figure it out!"

He then felt something coming up behind him, so he whirled around reaching out. He couldn't exactly see what was coming for him, but he managed to grab what felt like someone's head. He set off a small explosion in his palm that revealed the villain that went to attack them.

"Anyway, if all these villains are small fries like these guys were then our classmates can handle them." Katsuki said.

Katsuki then straightened up when he felt Ayano's mental presence in his mind before she even spoke.

'Everyone, Iida-kun has made it out of the building.' Ayano reported. 'The teachers should be here shortly. We just need to hold on until then.'

There sighs of relief from multiple people. Katsuki tilted his head wondering if that meant those other losers took down the warp guy.

'Hey, Aya, we're done with the villains in our zone!' Katsuki told her. 'I'm heading for that warpy bastard. He still at the stairs?'

'No, we sent him flying,' Hanta informed him. 'He probably returned to his boss in the center of the building where Aizawa-sensei is fighting.'

Katsuki smirked. Now he had a location to go to. That warp guy didn't know what was heading for him.

'Since I know you won't listen, I won't waste my time deterring you,' Ayano spoke calmly. 'Kirishima-kun, I ask you watch his back.'

'Sure thing, Ishida,' Eijiro assured as Katsuki snapped, 'I don't need any damn help, Aya! I'll blow that warp guy into charred pieces on my own!'

'Yes, yes, of course you will,' Ayano replied as patiently as possible.

Katsuki growled ready to forget the warp guy for a few seconds to go throttle Ayano a few times.

'Ishida, our group has confirmed that All Might is their target after getting the information out of some flunkies,' Shoto reported. 'Most of the thugs were brought together in a very short time. Only three of them seem to be troublesome. The one with the warp quirk, his boss with the blue hair, and the one with the exposed brain are the heavy hitters. The men we interrogated don't know the quirk of the big one but were told he had enough power to take down and finish off All Might.'

Eijiro didn't like the sound of that one bit. If one of them really had the power to go toe-to-toe with the Symbol of Peace they all were in trouble.

'Ayano!' Izuku called in panic. 'We need backup! Aizawa-sensei is in big—!'

Suddenly his voice was cut off from the rest of the group, which had Eijiro frowning.

"Midoriya!" He exclaimed while looking to Katsuki. "Do you think he's in trouble?"

"No, Aya, cut off the communication between us and Deku." Katsuki said scoffing. "That moron is in big trouble and apparently our teacher is as well. She doesn't want anyone freaking out by hearing Aizawa's condition. So, she cut off Deku from us before we could hear. Knowing her, she'll try to solve the problem on her own."

"That sounds dangerous." Eijiro said. "I guess we should hurry to where they are. The warp guy is there anyway, so we'd be killing two birds with one stone."

Katsuki grunted in reply as he started heading out of the building they had been in. Eijiro was quick to follow him.

"Ya know, you sure know how to read Ishida pretty well." Eijiro commented.

"That moron is easy to read." Katsuki said as he glared forward.

"Not really," Eijiro disagreed. "She's always so calm and collected. Anyone just can't read her emotions or intentions so well either. But without her even speaking to you directly, you seem to know exactly what she has planned or what she's doing even if you can't see her."

"What's your damn point, Spikey-hair?!" Katsuki demanded.

Eijiro grinned as the two of them finally made it out of the building. They just needed to get out of the zone now.

"You two are really close." Eijiro said.

"Just what the hell are you implying, bastard?!" Katsuki snarled like some kind of rabid dog.
