Something was gnawing at Aizawa ever since he had arrived to the classroom. It felt like something was off, that something was missing from his life. Everything was quiet, too quiet. And the constant screams of 'manly this' and 'I'll kill you' were no longer there. But why?
…Oh yeah.
NO ONE WAS HERE!
From the explosive blond, to the perverted grape, to the loud pink, to the fast robot, no one had shown up! He felt unease once he first stepped foot into the classroom, and Iida wasn't at his desk sitting in the dark! The class rep often sat in the dark, finding it inappropriate to turn on the lights without Aizawa's permission.
And yet, he wasn't there. Nor was Momo, Uraraka, Tsuyu, Todoroki, or any of the other more…'responsible' students. Kaminari and Ashido he could understand since there was supposed to be a test today, but all 19?! No, something was up, and it very, very wrong.
The door to the room opened, and what he hoped to be his students finally showing up after purposely keeping him in suspense (something they'd all be punished for), wasn't his students. Instead he got a different loud blond and a different responsible person with black hair.
All Might (in his weakened form) and detective Naomasa Tsukauchi stood in the doorway, each looking somber, and for All Might, a bit angered.
"Eraserhead, you need to come with us. There's…been an incident. We believe the kids are in trouble." All Might stated.
(Planning room)
The current occupants of the planning room were Aizawa, All Might, Nezu, Naomasa, 13, Present Mic, Snipe, Midnight, Power Loader, Cementoss, and Ectoplasm. Most of the teachers were murmuring amongst themselves, excluding All Might, Nezu, Aizawa, and Naomasa. A projector was set up, and facing the left wall of the room.
The room immediately quieted once Naomasa cleared his throat.
"Thank you all for your attention. Now as you all can tell, not a single one of the 19 Class A students came to school today."
Well, yeah, obviously. They were their teachers after all.
"Some of you may have also thought of this as some huge coincidence, or some class wide prank. I'm sorry to say that it's neither, it's much, much worse."
The teachers who didn't know what had happened immediately sat up after that, focusing all of their attention on the detective and what he had to say.
"All Might called me a while ago and requested I look into it, saying he had a gut feeling something was wrong." Taking out a small remote he motioned for the lights to be turned off, which Power Loader did as requested. Turning on the projector, an image displayed on the wall. "I had learned from one of the parents that their daughter and a friend went to the Kiyashi Ward shopping mall yesterday. This was an image I found while reviewing the security tapes."
While a tad fuzzy, the group could tell they were looking at Uraraka and Tsu, who were being escorted out of the building via a blond girl.
"The girls clothing matches a known killer that we've been tracking. It seems she's taken these two girls' hostage for some reason."
Clicking another button, it showed the inside of Endeavors home. It was completely trashed, with burn marks and ice littering most of the walls. Some walls even appeared to had something, or someone, thrown through them.
"This is the home of Endeavor, where he reported this is the last time he had seen his son, Shoto Todoroki. After leaving home to go patrolling, he came back hours later to find his home a complete mess, his daughter unconscious, and his son missing."
Another click, and a brown wall with purple balls stuck to it was shown.
"We were able to track Minoru Mineta using his phones GPS. We went to the area and found his phone thrown into a dumpster. While we did find some…questionable photographs on it, we also found a video that's tells us what happened." Naomasa took out a recorded from his pocket and began to play it.
"-ant them?" A voice asked. After the question quick running could be heard, before a loud cracking sound. "Out cold! I think I hit him too hard. There's no such thing as 'too hard'!"
"Now all of these are troubling, but All Might and I believe these kidnappings are all connected to one person, or specifically, one team. The evidence to support this we received via the kidnappings of Momo Yaoyorozu, Katsuki Bakugo, and Mashirao Ojiro."
"I interviewed the parents of Katsuki and got their side of this story. The father was out getting his wife flowers, but when he returned to his car, he wasn't alone. He described a man with white and purple skin, with blue eyes, black hair, and staples running across his body sitting in his backseat. The man called himself 'Dabi' and forced the husband to drive of two of them to the Bakugo residence. Once there, Dabi threatened to kill the father unless Katsuki put on some kind of mask, which ended up knocking him out. After that the father was knocked out, and after a while the mother returned home to find her husband unconscious and son missing."
"Based on Dabi's description, and the fact the husband stated he could produce blue flames, we believe this person to be the same one to kill the Sand Hero, Snatch."
Present Mic frowned at the memory of discovering Snatch had been killed. The two were friends and often met up on Saturday nights to play poker with a number of other heroes.
Naomasa clicked the button again, this time showing a large mansion. Everyone could see through the windows that the house was filled with pink gas.
"This is the residence of Momo Yaoyorozu. Sometime yesterday afternoon multiple smoke detectors went off, prompting fire fighters, heroes, and paramedics to arrive on scene. 40 of the staff were unconscious and poisoned as the result, and Yaoyorozu was nowhere to be found. We were to analyze the smoke and discovered that it puts people to sleep, although over exposure can lead to poisoning. I'm certain the gas here is used by a villain known as Mustard, who's mainly known for small time crimes like robbery. I believe Mustard was hired by someone to kidnap Yaoyorozu, the same person whose had the other students kidnapped."
"How can you be so sure that it's one person having our students kidnapped?" Cementoss questioned.
"Because this particular villain was present at every kidnapping." Naomasa clicked the button once again.
The image now revealed a torn up and destroyed interior of a dojo. An old man was slumped against the wall, and Ojiro was being carried over the shoulder by a guy in black and white spandex. But that wasn't the villain Naomasa was referring to.
No, the spandex guy was walking towards a black mist with yellow eyes. The same villain that had almost killed 13 at the USJ.
"The mist villain was present at this dojo, the Kiyashi Ward shopping mall, the Yaoyorozu mansion, and spotted by the neighbors around the Bakugo residence. And as many of you recall, was present at the attack of the USJ."
"We've concluded that the same group of villains that attacked the USJ, are the same ones kidnapping our students." All Might informed. "And we me…doing what I accidentally did, it means that this group may be under new management."
"But why the kids? Are they gonna try to get a ransom for them? Maybe even request their villain buddies be set free from jail in exchange for the kids?" Snipe asked.
"While their motive is unknown, I believe it's to make UA look bad and have the people question our abilities of preparing these students for the future." Nezu stated his thoughts. "We're working hard on keeping this a secret, but secrets won't last forever. I would like all of us to go out looking for the students, I'll even contact a few other Pros and ask for their assistance."
"I also have the police department following any led they come across, and are looking through every second of video footage taken from around the city."
"This is a big city. Where should we even start looking?" Midnight questioned.
"The wharfs." Aizawa informed, surprising everyone since this was the first time he spoke up. "19 students are missing, meaning these villains would need a large place to keep them all locked up. There's plenty of abandoned warehouses at the wharfs, so it's a good assumption they'd be hiding in one of them."
"Sounds reasonable enough. When someone finds something, contact the others and we'll plan an assault."
