Time 8:30 PM
Location: Undisclosed League of Villains headquarters.
League of Villains (All For One, Shigaraki, Kurogiri, etc.) POV
At an unknown business district in Tokyo where as usual people are busy having a nightlife with friends and family after work as the whole city was lively filled with big screen illuminated lights at numerous buildings. There was no criminal activity happened weeks after they witnessed the sudden invasion made by their organization which they made first attacks at U.A. High and attempted rebellion made by Izuku against the hero community at the coast.
For they do not know, their secret headquarters located at the highest floor of a skyscraper where All For One and the rest of the remaining members were currently residing, gathering all together whenever they have an important meeting. Though many of their important members of the league were gone, arrested, or missing in action, their boss was still confident enough to accomplish their main goal: To end the symbol of peace.
Inside of the room, All For One sat on a rich soft leather recliner, holding a half full of rum glass of his favorite liquor while watching the replays of their failed invasion at U.A., some cities of Tokyo, and Izuku's revolt against the hero community with a smirk expression on his face.
"They moved too swiftly for all the coins weighing them down. All of these attempts on harboring violence in this community and yet I'm still optimistic?" He let out a chuckle.
"They think that they have won and will always win? We'll prove them wrong once we've gathered up our will to fight again and end this mockery!"
Shigaraki Tomura lightly scratched his neck using his one hand with untrimmed nails on his fingers, looking a bit irritated. "And now the heroes captured that damn brat after his idiotic attempt on having a revolt against them with his nonsense ideals? What are we going to do now as they have finally got him arrested and started milking him information about us and our current whereabouts?! I should've killed him in his detention cell instead of freeing him!"
All For One chuckled and tilted his head. "Calm down, son. Your moment of facing him will soon come. Did you still remember why I choose you to be the successor of my power instead of him? Hmm..?"
He slowly nodded and looked away. "You've been asking that ever since the brat left and of course, I've already known the answer!"
"I guess I have no reason to explain you further, eh?" He laughed a bit before having a few sips of his glass. "Kurogiri~"
"Yes, sir?" He approached him with a bow.
"How's our Nomu production going through? Any progress?"
"All is well, sir. Everything is under control and planned accordingly. Soon, you will have an army of them, more powerful than we've ever experimented."
The boss slowly nodded and pleased upon hearing the update. "Very good. Another thing, any updates about Dabi and Toga?"
"We haven't heard anything about Dabi, sir. The last thing we've remembered was that he left a note at the bar saying 'I may not coming back for unknown circumstances'. While Toga never responds to any of our messages. The last mission you gave to her was the infiltration at the Provisional Hero License event and she drugged at a certain student of Shiketsu High."
"Let them be. As time may again persuade them to go back to our family. If not, that means they're no longer useful….considering they might influenced by Izuku's own ideals about this harsh, unfair reality." He finally stood up and grinned.
"They may have left us, but our will to succeed on ending this hypocrisy will soon become a reality. The villains of today will be the heroes of tomorrow and by our hand…..we will rise from the ashes once more!" He let out a laugh while viewing the replays on different television screens as the rest of the two just observed their boss with a determined look.

Timeline Dates: September 18 – September 25
Fast forward
Everyone's POV (Endeavor, All Might, Midoriya family, Katsuki etc.)
A day after Endeavor told his true feelings in front of his family, he was featured in a news agency and interviews by a reporter as he started making his own introduction of himself and later on disclosing information about his dirty past with their clan. From the quirk marriage, countless domestic violence of his wife and children and pressure to his youngest son to become his successor and wanting to surpass the number one hero. With confidence and no hesitation, he told everything to the public and reasoned for it would be a good benefit for the people to know the truth and also make his first footsteps on cleansing the hero community.
Facing at the camera, he stood up and bowed his knees on the ground to make a deep bowing twice, apologizing for his family, the hero community, and to the others who got hurt of his views and opinions in the past.
The people's reaction while watching live television were all mixed up. Some were good for being brave and honest and some were letting out bad comments about how bad he is not just a hero, but a father as well.
After his apology, Endeavor made a request to the reporter about his long lost eldest son, Touya Todoroki. From his pocket, he showed the old photo of his son to the camera and pleaded to everyone.
"I'm requesting everyone: heroes, police force and ordinary civilians to help me find my eldest son. His name is Touya Todoroki. At age 13, he left the household without a word for the given reason that I treated him unfairly and the abuse I gave to him during his early youth."
The cameraman zoomed in the face directly at emotional Endeavor and the old photo which he currently held by his hands.
"Touya, my eldest son. I hope you are out there watching this on your screen….. and I-I understand that you're still mad at me for I cannot undo the mistakes and I also understand if you're not ready to face me and accept the apology coming from your father. I would like to say from the bottom of my heart, I deeply, deeply apologize for the abuse and pressure I gave to our clan. Your siblings have been thinking about you since the day you left and every time they visit your mother, she keeps on asking them about your whereabouts. Your siblings and your mom miss you so much. We still love you, my son and…we will wait for your return…T-Thank you." He let out a bow.
The black-haired and scarred Dabi was currently watching the live interview of his father at the appliance section in a mall sobbed and gritted his teeth with his hands clenched. He didn't know how he would react about the apology he made to the public, especially to his family. He wanted to get mad, but at the same time, his heart got lightened up upon mentioning his siblings who are still thinking about him and his recent visit at his mother at the hospital. He was not confident enough to face his siblings not only his appearance but as well the shame he had brought to the family until now.
"F-Father….father, you old fart…you fool…!" The teary-eyed elder Todoroki muttered.
In the meantime, All Might had finally made a written statement about his health as most of the people do not have an idea about his current status of his health. The statement said that his health is indeed declining, but not at the worst peak due to his age and his past battles with different villains back then. It is also stated that he is planning to retire as the number one hero and wants to focus on his health and well-being. He also announced that he is currently looking for a successor of his One For All quirk somewhere within the U.A. vicinity since he is a member of the faculty. For now, that was his side of the story and will make another statement in a later time.

On September 21, Izuku was discharged from the hospital after his coma and rehabilitation. On the next day, he was inside the interrogation room at the police department with Detective Naomasa and Chief Kenji Tsuragamae as he started disclosing information about his former organization as detailed as possible and it lasted for almost 2 hours of talking and exchanging answers and opinions between two parties. Once they made a certain agreement, they released the teen which was ordered by the justice department and the government, instead of detaining him back to the facility. He is now under protection by three parties: The hero council, the government, and lastly and unexpected….the school he will soon attend: U.A. High.
Two days later, time flew so quickly as Midoriya family have finally moved to a bigger and comfortable location from their old apartment. A 3-bedroom condominium unit bought by Hisashi with his hard-earned cold cash in a hotel-like building at the busy and expensive district of Ginza. Inside the condo, the parents blindfolded their son as he led him through his designated bedroom, in which the teen looked puzzled and curious about what was going on.
"Can I release this blindfold already? I'm not a kid anymore, really~!"
"We just want to surprise you, my baby~!" Inko let out a chuckle.
"And we're still happy that you're released from the hospital and finally have you after so many interrogations they made to you, your mom and I were so worried you know~!" Hisashi grinned. They later stopped upon entering the bedroom as the father told his son to remove his blindfold.
Izuku complied and slowly removed his blindfold and slowly opened his eyes only to see a bigger version of his bedroom, a hotel-like and urban type of bedroom with a masculine hint of it. He just blinked his eyes, not that surprised.
"I know Dad bought this unit just for us, but….I think this is too much. We're not rich, father~!"
The parents chuckled as they ruffled their son's hair. Inko reacted.
"I was kinda against him buying this unit since it's too expensive, but our father insisted~! Also, you're looking at the wrong direction, Izuku~"
"Yeah, my little broccoli. Look at the left side of your room." Hisashi pointed at the direction.
"Eh?" He looked at the left side and saw new clothes, a leather backpack, shoes, and U.A. school/training uniform placed on a coffee table.
"You mom and I are so excited that you're going back to school~! I've never been felt this much happiness inside me!" Hisashi's manly tears appeared as he covered his face using his hands. Inko, on the other hand, comforted her husband.
Izuku walked closely at the stuff and frowned. He knew that this is the school he'd been dreamed of since he was still attending middle school, but the time he made a surprise attacks at the institution still haunted him and felt a little guilty of hurting a certain brother of Iida brothers, taunting the red-haired and the youngest Todoroki about his family and also…. Kacchan.
He let out a soft blush when he started thinking of him. His face, appearance, and that confession he declared to him back then. He shook his head before facing his parents.
"I've never liked this idea, mom and dad. I know that you want me to continue my studies there and everything, but I keep on thinking about the past. I-I hurt people there at the campus when I got freed and the corruption was there inside me."
The father placed his hand on other's shoulder and smiled.
"Forget about the past and I believe you've already reflected yourself during your therapy. Take it as a lesson and soon you'll get accepted with open arms for who you are now."
"It may not be easy, Izuku, but you'll get through this." The mother added.
"I guess I'll try." He let out a sad smile before letting out a thought.
"This second chance was given to me to start a new life again. New beginnings. A new dawn. Now you know what to do with it~ But my ideals are still intact. Shall I prove them right?"

Date: September 26
Time: 8:30 AM
Place: Class 1-A classroom at U.A. High
In the middle of homeroom session, Shota Aizawa was not around inside the room but left a note on the whiteboard that he'll be back after 20 minutes for an urgent meeting. The twelve black ravens suddenly appeared at the outer windows as many of the Class 1-A students stood up from their seats, walked closer at the window to witness the strange phenomenon outside.
"Okay. I've been seeing pigeons and doves hanging around the windows often, but these blackbirds suddenly appeared and paid a visit is totally strange to me." Denki Kaminari raised an eyebrow.
Iida Tenya made a gesture to everyone not to open the windows as the birds might probably enter inside the room. "The birds may look cute and defenseless, but I'd highly discourage everyone not to open the windows for our class' safety!"
The pink-skinned Mina Ashido chuckled at their class president. "Oh calm down~! It's not that they'd enter and peck the heck outta you with your rules~! Kidding tho-"
Tokoyami Fumigake made a serious look while looking at the birds. "I agree with Iida. Call me weird or different, but dark shadow and I can sense someone is entering our school... Strange dark energy, but it means no harm to everyone. I've never felt this kind of aura before..."
The whole class all glared at him with confusion and shock. Katsuki Bakugo stood up, heard the commotion before observing the birds at the windows.
The red-haired Kirishima checked on his best friend with a worried look. "Hey there bro~ You alright there?"
The ash blonde glanced up to him with a serious look and mumbled...
"Shitty hair...H-He's...he's here...!"
"What do you mean 'he's here'?" He blinked and tilted his head. "I don't know what you're saying~!"
"You know what I mean, shitty hair—" He wanted to tell something at Kirishima when their homeroom teacher arrived
"Class, kindly go back to your seats. I have an announcement to make."
The class hurriedly went back to their proper places and sat on their chairs. Aizawa glanced at the side where he saw ravens falling in line at the outer windows before rolling his eyes and yawned.
"Sorry for the long wait as we had another meeting with the principal and to the faculty. Anyway, since everyone is present this morning, I would like to introduce a new student to the class." He made a gesture at the opened room door and yelled a bit. "You may enter now. We don't bite here unless you want us to~" The teacher grinned.
The class looked at each other and all confused at first, but later on, they realized that the rumors they've been hearing about were true after all.
A student made his first footsteps inside the classroom, wearing the same U.A. school uniform, a leather expensive looking backpack, and black leather boots. The teen faced at the whole class with a slight smile with nervousness on his face before letting a bow to greet everyone.
"He's your new classmate in Hero course: Izuku Midoriya~!"
Some of the students stood up with shock and observed the new student closely. His appearance and personality from the invasion and his fight against All Might was far different than they had encountered before.
The ash blonde made awe and smiled with a blush upon arriving his childhood friend attending school for the first time.
"Deku. It's about fucking time you're finally here~!" He thought to himself with a grin.
Aizawa told Izuku to make an introduction. "If you don't mind making your short introduction before your classmates introduce themselves to you."
He nodded as he faced his new classmates a serious look.
"I am Izuku Midoriya and currently under protection by the police force, the government, and this school. I have dual quirks: Marskman and Demonic quirk and let me share you my side of the story…."
To be continued.
