Coco: Hey, guys, it's me! Coco XD Sorry for not updating for a while, but I actually have a treat for you tonight (Well, it's night where I'm at). Since you've all had to wait so long and since I was in a writing mood (especially for this story), I have not just one, not even just two new chapters for you this time, but three! Yes, I have three new chapters for tonight that's going to cover the entire villains attack on the camp. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did writing them ;)

Ayano groaned as she finally started to regain consciousness. She blinked seeing she seemed to be back in the Pussycat's offices.

"Looks like you're awake." Aizawa said from his spot beside her.

Ayano turned towards her homeroom teacher as he placed his fingers against her forehead.

"And your fever is gone." Aizawa said. "That's good."

Ayano didn't say anything in return as she looked back up at the ceiling. All the pain and noise were gone now, but in their place was a sense of exhaustion. Though she didn't know if she'd be able to sleep after all of that.

"Ishida, what happened out there?" Aizawa asked. "You normally have no problem controlling your quirk."

Ayano didn't reply as she slowly sat up on the couch. She didn't know what to tell him. She'd probably sound crazy. Besides, it's all so complicated, how could she even begin? As she remained silent, Aizawa sighed.

"Does what happened today have anything to do with the headache you had received yesterday before dinner?" Aizawa asked.

Ayano's eyes widened because she had thought she hid that so well, but apparently not.

"Ishida, if something is wrong, you have to say something." Aizawa said. "What happened earlier could have hurt more than just you."

Ayano bit her lip knowing it was true. If the Pussycats and their teachers hadn't reacted so swiftly, her classmates or class B could have been harmed. It was just…so hard to explain. She didn't know what to say. But at the same time not talking about it with someone was making her feel like she was drowning. Besides, she knew Aizawa wouldn't just let it go. Not by a long shot. She'd have to tell him something.

"I…I thought I could control it like I always have." Ayano said. "Even though it's different…I didn't think anything like that would happen…"

Aizawa frowned slightly as he wondered what Ayano was trying to say. It sounded like she was referring to her quirk.

"Ishida, what are you talking about?" Aizawa questioned.

Ayano took a shuddered breath before she turned to face Aizawa directly. She knew this might not go well, but she couldn't keep things bundled to herself anymore.

"The quirk I've been using all this time…isn't entirely my own." Ayano said getting Aizawa's brow to quirk. "It's a copy of someone else's quirk."

"What do you mean?" Aizawa asked.

Ayano tilted her head as she wondered just how to go about explaining things without revealing too much. Like All Might and Nighteye's involvement.

"On I-Island, this villain used this quirk that put me in a catatonic like state." Ayano said. "When he did so…it awakened something in my subconscious—my actual quirk. I know it sounds impossible, but this quirk of mine that's been dormant until recently can copy the abilities of other psychic-based quirks. But that's only part of it. It also latches onto those with psychic abilities to amplify its own power."

"How did you learn all of this?" Aizawa asked. "Did you know all along?"

Ayano shook her head as she drew her knees close to her chest while hugging them tightly.

"My father—my biological father—was on I-Island…said he was checking in on me or something." Ayano said with a shrug. "After the incident, he explained to me that my quirk had been too unstable. I was hurting those around me unconsciously. My quirk—Hive—was reacting to my emotions and acted defensively if I was upset because it thought I was being harmed."

"So, this 'Hive' has its own consciousness." Aizawa guessed.

"Yes, and since it was acting on its own and causing trouble, they found a way to suppress my quirk and hid it behind false abilities." Ayano said. "Abilities it had copied over time of being exposed to a single person's quirk. They did that to keep those around me with psychic abilities safe. But then…they sent me away, and my father won't tell me why…"

Ayano went silent after that as Aizawa tried to process what she just said. He knew she was adopted, so that wasn't a surprise. He knew Ko since they were in school together, and he remembers that loud idiot bragging about his adorable new baby sister when they were in U.A. But the rest of it…he's never heard of such a thing. But he didn't think Ayano was lying either. She didn't have a reason to lie about something this…odd.

"I know…it sounds crazy…" Ayano murmured. "I didn't want to believe it, but ever since the incident on I-Island my quirk has been different. I thought if I treated it like I always do it would be fine. It didn't even react to being around Mandalay. But maybe that was because I already have telepathic abilities…but whatever happened this morning…was completely new. I never felt it before. It was like all this information was being shoved into my mind at once. People, their names, their locations, everything about them just all at once was in my head and…I couldn't handle it…"

Just remembering the pain that it had caused, had Ayano curling up into an even tighter ball.

'That…sounds like Ragdoll's quirk,' Aizawa thought.

He came out of his thoughts, however, as Ayano gave a sniffle. He looked to her as a few tears leaked from her eyes.

"I'm sorry…I know I should have said something earlier…" She said. "I just…I don't know what to do…How to…"

She trailed off as more tears rolled down her cheeks. Aizawa sighed. She's obviously been keeping this all bottled up since the incident on I-Island. He even doubted Katsuki and Izuku knew about what's going on. Aizawa reached out while patting Ayano's head.

"It'll be okay," Aizawa said. "We'll work things out. Of course, the other teachers and the Pussycats will have to be informed of this. That includes the staff at U.A. as well, but if you don't want your classmates to know just yet, we'll keep it quiet."

"Thank you, Sensei." Ayano said as she wiped the tears away.

He nodded his head then told her to get some more rest. He left her alone as he needed to return to the others. He was sure his students were worried, so he better put their minds at ease. After he was gone, Ayano remained sitting up.

'Do you think he will try to separate us?' Hive asked in her mind. 'Will they? The one known as All Might will be informed of this, and he will know that we lied. And know we are connected again.'

'No…I don't think Aizawa-sensei will,' Ayano replied. 'And if anyone else tries, I won't let them. We won't be separated again…we just need to try and work things out. Learn how to work with each other.'

Hive seemed to hum in response before going quiet once more. Ayano wasn't sure it was a hum of agreement or not, but she sure hoped it was. Ayano then let out a sigh. She felt a bit better telling Aizawa everything that happened…but now all the teachers plus the Pussycats were going to know too. Not to mention Giichi will know that she lied to him. She hoped she just didn't make things worse.

"Are you sure you feel up for this?" Tiger asked as he walked with Ayano down the path to take her to where the others were.

It was after dark now and everyone else has already had dinner and cleaned up after training. Ayano has been kept away from the others this entire time. Even Katsuki and Izuku who had been very insistent about seeing her. Now, it was time for the test of courage that Pixie-Bob had mentioned earlier, and Ayano didn't want to stay cooped up anymore. She wanted to spend time with her friends and try to relax after what happened.

"Yes," Ayano replied. "I'll be fine. Besides…I don't think I can handle being in Doctorine's presence anymore."

She paled thinking about having to sit next to the woman as she was polishing all her medical tools. She even polished her needle sets…and that unnerving smile…Ayano doesn't think she'd be about to relax or even rest anymore after seeing that smile.

"That and I don't want to worry my friends anymore than I have to." Ayano said.

"Yes, I understand," Tiger said. "But if you feel lightheaded or anything, don't push yourself."

Ayano nodded before looking forward as the two entered the clearing where everyone else was. Many heads turned when they arrived.

"Ayano, you're up!" Toru cheered when seeing her.

"We were worried about you!" Ayumi said as she hurried over to latch onto the girl.

Ayano gave a reassuring smile as many of her classmates came over to check on her. Izuku was, of course, among them and looking her over closely.

"I'm sorry everyone for worrying you, but I'm fine, really." Ayano said. "I just pushed a little too hard."

Her white lie was taken by most of them, but Katsuki, who was watching from the side, and Izuku weren't convinced. In fact, Katsuki narrowed his eyes angrily.

'She's lying…' He thought heatedly.

"Alright, stop crowding her." Aizawa said. "It's time to get started."

His words brought a small rush of excitement to some as Pixie-Bob stepped up to address the students.

"Perfect," She began. "We're all now here and we've all filled our bellies and cleaned the dishes! It's time for—!"

"A totally awesome test of courage!" Mina interrupted excitedly.

"We're gonna win!" Eijiro, Denki, Hanta, Sato, and Hachiro cheered.

However, it would seem as if Aizawa had different plans for them as he was quick to pop their bubble.

"Not so fast," He said. "It pains me to say it, but the remedial class will be having lessons with me tonight instead."

It took the six remedial students a second to compute Aizawa's words, but when they did their reactions were all the same: despair.

"You've gotta be kidding me!" Mina wailed.

Aizawa, who used his capture weapon to wrap around the remedial class, was obviously not kidding. In fact, he looked quite serious.

"Sorry, your training during the day didn't impress me, so I'll be using this time too." Aizawa said.

He then dragged them away with all of them whining about how unfair it was. Ayano felt a bit bad as she hadn't really trained hard today either.

"Okay!" Pixie-Bob said bringing the attention back to her. "So, Class B is going to start out as our scarers. When they're in place, Class A will leave in pairs every three minutes. There are tags with your names on them at the far end of the route. Your goal is to collect those."

Sounded simple enough. And Ayano was sure with her telepathy, she'd be able to hear Class B before they tried to jump in for a scare, so she wasn't too worried.

"Now, those who are scarers aren't allowed to make physical contact." Pixie-Bob continued. "Use your quirks to terrify the others, got it?!"

"The winners are the creative students who make the most people piss their pants!" Tiger declared as Pixie-Bob and Ragdoll jumped around excitedly.

"Did we need that visual?" Kyoka asked with a frown.

Probably not, but it was there now, and many weren't about to just forget it any time soon.

"I see," Tenya said. "They're encouraging us to stoke our imaginations as we compete with each other. All while showing us more uses for our quirks in the process. As expected of U.A!"

He was given a series of looks due to his outburst as many wondered if he was being serious. Ayano just chuckled, however, since that was so Tenya.

"Alright, everyone, draw to see who your partner will be!" Pixie-Bob said as she held out some slips of paper.

Class A went to do just that as Ragdoll instructed Class B to go out and hide. She and…Doctorine, who had come out of the office to help, then left as well as they were to wait at the end of the route for Class A to come collect their tags. Ayano wasn't sure anyone would want to make it to the end of the route knowing the sadist was there, but they'd just see how things play out.

"Looks like we're paired up." Ayumi said with a smile when seeing she and Ayano both had the number 3 papers.

"Yeah." Ayano said.

Though she then blinked when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned her head seeing Katsuki standing there.

"Hey, we're switching, Streak!" Katsuki said as he looked to Ayumi. "I'm not going with him!"

He jerked his thumb over to Shoto who only blinked in reply to Katsuki's refusal to partner with him.

'We need to talk,' Katsuki was telling Ayano mentally after he told Ayumi to switch with him. 'You're hiding things, and I want to know what.'

Ayano looked down not sure what to say in reply. Though it didn't seem as if she would have to as Ayumi's words soon distracted the blonde.

"Oooh, do you want to be with Ayano?~ All alone in the woods?" Ayumi cooed. "Not sure if we can leave the two of you unsupervised~"

Katsuki's brow twitched before he started snapping at Ayumi to mind her own business as Ayano, who had a small blush on her face, sighed. This was going to be a long night. Though she supposed she should thank Ayumi later for distracting Katsuki so easily.

Ayano and Ayumi walked side-by-side through the woods as they were making their way towards the end of the route. So far, they'd gone without any scares. Something Class B was pouting about.

'Using your telepathy like that is cheating, Ishida!' Juzo's words ran through her mind.

Though there hadn't been any real anger behind his words. Made Ayano think Class A and Class B were getting closer and less hostile. Or so she hoped.

"Man, I was expecting to have more fun with this," Ayumi said with a sigh. "I mean, they haven't even scared us once!"

"I'm sorry," Ayano said. "Would you like to me stop telling you when they're about to jump out?"

Ayumi was about to reply when she stopped. A frown pulled across her face as she sniffed the air.

"Hey…do you smell that?" She asked. "Something smells like its burning?"

Ayano tilted her head before she took a sniff as well. The smell of smoke entered her nose but something else as well. Something that smelled fouler.

"Yeah, I smell it too." Ayano said.

She then noticed a pinkish fog rolling towards them, which had her shifting on her feet.

"Pink…smoke?" Ayumi murmured before she started teetering. "No…why am I so dizzy?"

As she fell over, Ayano gasped while quickly creating a dome to push the gas away from her and Ayumi.

"Jinsoku-chan!" Ayano called as she knelt next to the fallen speedster. "Are you okay?"

Ayumi nodded as she tried to push herself up into a sitting position, which Ayano helped her with.

"I just need a moment." Ayumi said as she shook her head. "My fast metabolism should burn the effects of the gas away soon."

Ayano was about to let out a sigh of relief, but never got the chance as something hurdled itself into Ayano's dome shattering it like it was nothing. The same thing hit Ayumi and crushed her into the ground creating a crater from the impact. Ayumi cried out feeling some of her ribs break as the air in her lungs left her completely.

"Jinsoku-chan!" Ayano shouted as she was forced back due the force of the impact.

As the dust cleared, Ayano looked on with wide eyes to see a person standing in the crater with their foot dug into Ayumi's back as the girl laid there unmoving.

"Well, that's the speedster out of the way." The person said as they turned their eyes up to Ayano. "Looks like you're next, Ishida Ayano."

'Who is this person? How do they know my name?' Ayano thought. 'How could they even get this close without me knowing?!'

'Because I shielded their minds from you,' A new voice cut in.

Ayano whirled around with her eyes widening even more when seeing it was Rina in front of her. Of course, she was much older than the images Hive showed her through their joined memories, but Ayano knew it was Rina without a doubt.

"Rina," Ayano said as she slowly stood back onto her feet.

Rina smirked seeming amused that Ayano knew who she was. Though there was a darkness behind that smirk that made Ayano's gut churn.

"You're a villain?" Ayano asked. "And I'm guessing you're the psychic who attacked me at the school before the U.S.J incident."

It was something she was having trouble wrapping her mind around. Her older sister was with the very people who have caused harm to her and her friends. She wasn't sure how this happened. According to Giichi, Rina was sent to live with Etsudo's parents. So, why was she here with the League of Villains? Ayano didn't have the time to try to dwell on this, however, as there were more pressing matters at hand.

"That's correct, little sister," Rina replied. "Look at how smart you are. Though I suppose I should expect that out of you. Tell me…did Hive tell you who I was?"

Ayano frowned not answering as she tried to think about how to handle this situation. Things weren't good. And she highly doubted Rina and her friend were the only two here. If Rina was here, the League of Villains is involved. Meaning Shigaraki Tomura could be here as well.

'Everyone!' Mandalay's voice rang through Ayano's head.

She felt everyone else connected as well, which had her instantly using Mandalay's link to strengthen her own telepathic reach. She had to do it now before Mandalay cut her link or someone cut it for her. If they all got connected now, maybe they could get the upper hand on these villains by coordinating together.

'Two villains attacked us!' Mandalay warned. 'And it is possible that there are more coming! Everyone, return to camp immediately. We're regrouping. Do not engage any enemies!'

'That's not going to be possible!' Ayano called out then had to put up a quick wall when Rina's companion came at her from behind.

She made this wall thicker and managed to keep the villain at bay enough to make them back up.

'I am currently being attacked by two villains,' Ayano told the group. 'Jinsoku has already been taken down and I can't get to her to check on her condition. They appear to be with the League of Villains!'

She could just sense the panic going through her fellow students when her words rang out.

'I can't track the villains, so I don't know their numbers.' Ayano said. 'They have their own telepath who's keeping them cloaked.'

Ayano then grunted as the villain tried attacking Ayano's barrier again as Rina sat back looking like she had all the time in the world. Though it did appear as if she was doing something as Ayano felt something pushing against her telepathic walls. Rina was trying to crack it. To connect to the link she had set up with her friends and teachers.

'Ishida, where are you?' Aizawa asked through the link. 'I'm on my way! And stay connected.'

'No!' Ayano sent. 'The telepath is trying to breach my telepathic link. If she makes it through, she'll be able to hear us and tell exactly where we are and hear our plans. I wanted to connect us, so we could strategize, but it doesn't seem like that will be possible. I'm not strong enough to keep the telepath at bay and fight the other villain at the same time. I'm sorry…but I must cut the link.'

'Aya, don't even think about it!' Katsuki snapped. 'Tell me where you are!'

'Ishida, just hold on! Don't do anything hasty!' Aizawa was saying as well.

However, Ayano didn't listen as she cut the link before Rina could made a connection. Ayano then threw out her arm to hit the other villain and send them flying. She grabbed Ayumi with her quirk after that and took off into the forest to try and find some cover.

'You can run all you want, little sister,' Rina's words followed her. 'We're connected, so I can follow your every move even if I can't hear your thoughts directly just yet. But the second you make a connection to your little friends, I will force my way into your mental link and I'll know where all them are as well.'

Ayano shook her head as she kept going while floating Ayumi beside her. Ayano knew running was only going to wear her out, but there wasn't much of a choice. She had to make sure Ayumi was taken care of. She at least had to ensure the speedster was safe before she tried to fight back.

'What can I do?' She wondered. 'How can I help everyone?'

She then looked up seeing a table coming into view. It must be where Ragdoll and Doctorine were set up. Maybe that meant they were nearby. Ayano rushed forward but came to a skidding halt when she saw the literal bloody mess before her. She felt bile rise in her throat at the sight of blood as it stained the table and the ground around it. She then shook her head to try to calm herself down.

'Okay, get a hold of yourself, Ayano!' She told herself firmly. 'Panicking now doesn't help anyone!'

She then took a deep breath as she carefully lowered Ayumi down against a tree to rest. Ayano, who was panting a bit for air, took a moment to look for any signs of Ragdoll and Doctorine but saw none. This wasn't good at all. These villains have already taken down two pros and Ayano couldn't warn the others because Rina was waiting to attack her link the second, she tries to connect. If Rina got in there's no telling what she might do. The damage she could cause to the minds of her classmates and the others.

'Think, Ayano,' Ayano tried to tell herself. 'What would Sir do in a situation like this? He told you repeatedly to predict your opponents' moves. Anticipate what they might do next, but I don't see how I can do that! I don't know how many there are. I don't know why they're here. I don't know where my friends are. How can I make predictions with so little to work on?!'

It all seemed impossible. She didn't see how she could make it out of here let alone save Ayumi. Ayumi's safety was her top priority right now, but Ayano didn't know how she could keep her safe until they made it back to the pros.

'Hive is here,' Hive spoke up in her mind. 'Hive is together, and Hive can fight. Hive can win and save friends.'

Ayano felt some of her panic subside as Hive spoke to her calmly and with certainty.

'Hive is stronger together.' Hive continued. 'The One said Hive must learn to work together. Let us work together. Let us fight.'

Ayano knew it was risky. She still couldn't control Hive completely, but she noticed with Hive's help that the abilities she does know how to handle, are amplified. Together they might at least have the chance to hold back Rina and her companion at least until help arrives. Or maybe Ayano can lead the villains away from Ayumi and face them and not have to worry about Ayumi being harmed.

"Okay," Ayano said out loud. "Let's do this."

"Dammit, that idiot," Katsuki growled behind his hand as he and Shoto were trying to not breath in the gas.

"There must be some short of gas villain around here." Shoto said as he carried Kosei on his back.

Katsuki didn't really care. He just wanted to head back the way they came to try and find Ayano. Her group was the one right after his, wasn't it?

"We need to go back." Katsuki said. "You heard Aya! There are other villains who are attacking!"

Attacking her and she was on her own because Ayumi was taken out. Shoto was about to tell Katsuki to calm down—though he himself was worried too—when the two spotted a figure hunched down not far from them. He was hunched over what seemed to be someone's severed hand and mumbling to himself. The sight brought a rise of fear to the two boys.

"Who's that?" Katsuki wondered. "Hey…which group was in front of us again?"

"Tokoyami, I think." Shoto replied. "And Shoji."

And based on the size and skin tone of the hand, the boys would have to guess it belonged to Shoji who was nowhere in sight. The two then stiffened when the man, who was still mumbling to himself, got up onto his feet to turn towards the two.

"I have a job to do." The man groaned.

Katsuki grit his teeth as he dropped his hand from his face. Though he forced himself to smirk as his hands curled into fists.

"No fighting…is that the rule?" Katsuki asked mockingly.

He then glanced over his shoulder. Ayano was back there in the forest and fighting on her own against two of these lowlifes.

'Aya,' Katsuki thought. 'I'll finish here soon, and then I'll kick the asses of those villains after you. I won't lose!'
