The heroes and villains were standing off for what felt like an eternity. Both sides were waiting to see who would move first.
"Look, kid, don't make this any harder than it has to be," Overhaul said. "If you just let me and my friends walk outta here, we'll be out of your hair for good."
"Not a chance," Midoriya responded.
"I don't think you really have a choice in the matter," All For One added. "After all, you're outnumbered."
Deadpool started laughing. "Oh, you must be blind as a bat if you think you outnumber us! I mean, I see seven of you, and way more of us!"
Midoriya knew that All For One was grinning under his mask. "Look closer."
On cue, all of the cells in Tartarus opened, and over a hundred of Japan's most dangerous villains walked out the hole where the doors used to be. Midoriya's eyes narrowed when he saw a certain muscular villain with blonde hair and only one eye, and Iida and Todoroki became noticeably uneasy when they noticed a certain serial killer with a missing nose.
"Who outnumbers who, again?" All For One asked.
Hey guys! I know this chapter's a little short, but I realized that last line was just too perfect to not end a chapter on. Anyway, stay tuned for Chapter 9, where I'll (hopefully) be able to wrap up this whole Tartarus fight.
