...To Bring You A Villain Attack

(A/N: The full chapter title wouldn't fit here...anyway, let's go! :D )

...

"…but he's a teacher now," Izuku muttered quietly, not realizing he was voicing his thoughts out loud. "If he's not careful with his time limit, he's going to reveal his small form to a whole class."

"What was that?" a gruff voice called out.

Izuku froze and looked up to see glowing red eyes under furrowed brows and floating black hair.

Shit, I was mumbling again.

"Uh…what was what?" he said, trying to play innocent.

"Don't play dumb with me. You know something, don't you?" Aizawa growled quietly. He groaned as he blinked, deactivating his Quirk. "You know what, we don't have time for that can of worms right now. We'll discuss it later and start without that big blonde buffoon."

Izuku snorted at the alliterated insult but covered it with a cough as he felt another Quirked glare shot his way. Not that it would do anything to me anyway, but his glare is fierce. Together with the teachers, he turned his attention to the group of 1-A students. Aizawa was the first to address the class.

"Alright, everyone. Gather around," the tired man called out. The Heroes-in-training immediately became quiet and paid attention to their teacher. "Thirteen and I will be leading your training today. All Might was supposed to join us but he is currently…indisposed. Also, you may notice that Hiro from the Support Course is joining you again."

He gestured towards Izuku who gave a small wave at the class. His friends and a few others waved back.

"He will be observing you from the Control Hub and will provide individual feedback using these."

Somehow, Aizawa produced a box from his scarf that looked way too big to possibly have fit in there. Does he have a pocket dimension in his scarf or something? Inside it were numerous wireless earpieces, a small tablet-like device, and a larger main headset with an attached microphone. He handed one earpiece out to each student, organized by their student numbers one through eighteen, before instructed them on how they worked while wearing the main headset and working with the tablet.

Izuku studied how the teacher handled the tablet to select individual or multiple earpieces at once to speak to the students, testing the connection using the headset. Once he was satisfied that all were in working condition, he handed the tablet and main headset to Izuku. Then he gave the number nineteen earpiece to Thirteen and took number twenty for himself.

The greenette fit the headset over his head, adjusting the goggles and beanie accordingly. Then he attached the tablet to his left arm. On the tablet screen, there was a 2-D view of a map of the USJ that he could zoom in and out of as need. Near where the entrance was marked were small circles with numbers in them, showing where each earpiece, as well as each corresponding student and teacher, was in the facility.

"Now that's out of the way, we can get started," Thirteen said, getting everyone's attention. "Before we begin, I'd like to say one thing…or maybe three…five? Several things. Anyway. Listen carefully. As you know, my Quirk is Black Hole…"

The Space Hero went into a speech about their Quirk being powerful but also dangerous. Izuku noticed some of the students paled at that, clearly realizing their own Quirks could also be unsafe. That was one thing that he didn't have to worry about since he was Quirkless at least. Thirteen continued to talk about how the students needed to learn to use their Quirks properly, pointing out that one wrong move could result in people dying.

Not much of a pep talk, but it is something they needed to hear and think about.

"…with this rescue training, I aim for you to get a new perspective. To learn to use your Quirks to save lives. After all, that's what being a Hero is all about! That's is all I have to say. Thank you for listening!" Thirteen finished their speech with a bow as the students clapped in appreciation.

Now, there's the pep talk, Izuku thought, smiling. Good job finishing on a positive note, Thirteen-san.

"Alright, let's get started," Aizawa said. "First off…"

The Erasure Hero was cut off as the lights flicked and sparks of electricity swept across the fixtures. Izuku found his gaze drawn to the fountain in the center as it sputtered out water sporadically. In front of it, a small circle of swirling black mist began to appear and grow in size rapidly.

"S-sensei…" Izuku stammered, pointing toward the center.

Aizawa followed his gaze and saw what the student had noticed. The circle of black mist grew and grew until it seemed to explode out, two angular yellow patches perched near the top of the mass. From the middle of the black cloud, came a pale-dry hand that grabbed some sort of edge in the fog and seemed to pull it open. From the opening appeared a head of greasy light blue hair with a face obscured by an even paler severed hand and a single red eye peering out at them through the digits.

"Everyone, stand back and don't move!" the Erasure Hero yelled, getting into a defensive position. "Thirteen, protect the students!"

It was at this time that the other students noticed the black mist. From its swirling mass people started to pour out, led by the man with the hand out his face…and arms…and neck. Just…everywhere.

Why does he have so many severed hands? Is he some kind of weird hand collector?!

"Has the training started already?" Kirishima asked, hand shading his eyes as he tried to get a better look. "I thought we were going to practice rescuing. Are we using actors instead of robots like in the entrance exam?"

"STAY BACK!" Eraserhead shouted, fitting his goggles over his eyes. "This isn't the training. Those are real Villains." The last bit came out like a growl as he pushed Izuku behind him with the rest of the students.

There was a collective gasp from the students in shock and fear. Villains, real Villains, had managed to break into UA, during their rescue training of all things. It didn't seem like it should have been possible, and yet there they were, facing dozens upon dozens of Villains with more still coming through.

One particularly large and muscular Villain walked through the black mist and stopped next to the handy man. They were a head taller than the latter with carbon black skin, sharp jagged teeth in a beak-like mouth, and their eyes bulged out on either side of their exposed brain. Even with the existence of Mutant Quirks, the odd features paired with the blank stare of this person…monster…thing didn't make it seem entirely human.

The black mist seemed to condense as the last of the Villains trickled out, coalescing into a hazy form with the two yellow patches still near the top. It wasn't until the mass spoke that Izuku realized that it was a person.

"I see Thirteen and…Eraserhead, I believe," the misty man spoke in a deep voice. The yellow patches, which Izuku now assumed were the Villain's eyes, narrowed as he seemed to scan the group of Heroes and Heroes-to-be. "But I do not see All Might. According to the schedule we obtained from UA, he should be here."

"So, you're the ones responsible for the media break-in yesterday," Aizawa spouted angrily. His comment went ignored as the handy man spoke up, craning his neck to see.

"Where is he?" the Villain asked in a scratchy voice. "We've come all this way to play this game, and he doesn't even bother to show up? And I worked so hard to bring together all of these friends. They're all eager to meet the Symbol of Peace."

The Villain spread his arms wide as if to present his 'friends'. The greyish severed hands stood out in stark contrast on his black long-sleeved shirt. Seriously, what is it with the hands?! Then he lowered his arms and seemed to pout.

"I can't believe he isn't here," the handy man said. "Maybe if we kill some kids, he'll finally show up to play."

In an instant, the Erasure Hero's capture weapon seemed to come to life as it shot out around him and hung in the air defensively. Thirteen also took a defensive stance in front of the students. The students themselves were still in shock, trying to understand the situation they found themselves in.

"Wha? Real Villains?!" Kirishima said in disbelief. "No way! How'd they get into UA anyway?"

"Sensei! Aren't there intruder sensors?" Yaoyorozu called out as she stepped forward slightly.

"Yes, of course!" Thirteen replied, sounding somewhat perplexed. "However, I'm not sure why they aren't going off?"

"Is the attack only here, or at the main building as well?" Todoroki interjected, his sharp gaze scanning the group of Villains. "Either way, if the alarms aren't being triggered, one of them must have a Quirk that's blocking it. They chose to attack here for a reason. It's isolated and far from the main campus. And they timed it when a class would be here. Trespassing UA may be a foolish idea, but they do seem to have some sort of plan. Whatever that plan is, they must have a definitive objective in mind."

Izuku knew it wasn't really the time, however he couldn't help but be fascinated with how quickly the bi-color teen broke down the situation. He obviously had experience which was impressive…but also concerning.

"Thirteen, begin evacuating," Eraserhead ordered, walking toward the stairs. "Try and contact the school. As Todoroki said, there must be a Quirk jamming the signal. Possibly an electric type. Kaminari, try using your Quirk to get through the interference."

A solid plan for us, but what about…no. Without thinking, Izuku reached out and grabbed Aizawa's sleeve, causing the man to glance back at him.

"What are you planning to do?" Izuku demanded in an earnest whisper, brows furrowed. "You can't fight all of them on your own! There's too many for you to nullify all of their Quirks. With your fighting style, you rely on stealth and one-on-one fights. Head-on battles like this…"

"You can't be a Pro Hero with only one trick up your sleeve," the Erasure Hero interjected with a determined smirk. "You of all people should know the importance of having more than one tool in your belt. Thirteen, I'm leaving them to you."

With that, Eraserhead yanked his arm free and threw himself forward without a second thought. Izuku watched as the Hero immediately began to attack the Villains closest to the stairs. He erased Quirks right and left, using his capture weapon to toss the Villains at each other. All the while dodging attacks between sending out his own kicks and punches at his opponents.

This…this was why Izuku found Eraserhead so inspiring. With his Erasure Quirk, the man could level the playing field to a Quirkless one for the most part. The exception being against Mutant-type Quirks. But even then, he had trained his body and honed his fighting skills to make up for it. On top of that, he had no hesitation jumping right into the fight to protect his students. Even though he was at a disadvantage against such a big group out in the open.

This is a Pro Hero at work.

The Support student was broken out of his awed trance as Thirteen directed the students towards the door. However, their path was suddenly blocked as the same black mist took form in front of the door. Seeing the Villain teleport with ease, Izuku's analytical mind was in overdrive.

Some kind of Teleporting Quirk? Or is it warping? That kind of Quirk is so rare. And for a Villain to have one can't be good. What kind of counter attack could fight that? Does it have a range or a need for specific coordinates? Does it have to be a place they have actually been? That would mean they had been here before. Or does it…

"This is no time to analyze!" Iida called out. "We need to get out of here!"

Crap! I was mumbling again! He hoped the Villain didn't hear him.

"I'm afraid I cannot allow that," the black mist intoned, yellow eyes scanned the group and seemed to linger on Izuku a little more than the others. He really hoped the Villain hadn't heard him and that he was just being paranoid. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Hero fledglings. We are the League of Villains. Apologies for interrupting your training, but we invited ourselves into this stronghold of heroism to bring an end to the Symbol of Peace, All Might."

End…All Might?

They all froze at the declaration as if that was the Villain's Quirk. To freeze them where they stood in fear. Almost all thinking the same thing. They came to kill All Might? Why? How? Surely it was impossible.

Except that Izuku knew it wasn't. All Might wasn't as invincible as he made himself appear. He had limits, ones that had grown over the years. To the point that he had a daily time limit of how many hours he could be in his muscular form. A time limit he had already reached today.

"From our intel, All Might was supposed to be here. Yet, I see no sign of him. Was the schedule changed perhaps? No matter. I still have a role to fulfill."

The black mist seemed to raise and spread wide, as if it were sheets of fog draped over the Villain's outstretched arms. Thirteen braced themselves for an attack, popping one of the caps on their fingers open. But before they could do anything, Katsuki and Kirishima shot forward to attack the Villain themselves. The blonde let off an explosion, obscuring the scene with light and smoke. The red head stood next to him, arms hardened and ready to attack.

"Did you think we would just let you do whatever you want and not fight back?" Kirishima shouted.

As the smoke cleared, the black mist wavered but reformed quickly. But Izuku noticed a metal casing of some sort peak out amongst the dark fog. Could that be protecting something? A weakness?

"UA does not disappoint," the Villain drawled. "You may be students, but you live up to your school's reputation. However, you should be more careful. If you are reckless, someone could get hurt."

"You two! Get out of the way!" Thirteen ordered, brandishing their uncapped finger.

Before the Hero could do anything however, tendrils of the black mist shot out at the group.

"I will fulfill my role to scatter you amongst our comrades," the Villain declared as the dark fog grew. "Fight and may your deaths serve our great purpose. BEGONE!"

The students and teacher were completely surrounded by the black mist. Izuku couldn't see any of the others. He tried to reach out in hopes of finding someone, but he suddenly felt himself drop as a portal opened beneath him. With a scream, he fell.
