Heyo dudes. Before I start I wanna say thanks for the reviews on the previous chapter. Ya'll are too good for me and I love all of you. Without further ado let's get into it

General POV

It's been three months since Izuku announced his newest plan to his executives and boy has it worked wonders. Hero approval ratings have dropped substantially, several legislations have passed making the heroes' job significantly more difficult, and the public gave their support to the Midoriya family. On top of that new rivalries have been forged and pre-existing rivalries continued and advanced.

Compress's rivalry with Gang Orca was taken to the next level when the pro subconciously awakened his haki. Once he realized he had his newfound abilities Gang Orca spent his free time training them and made for a more difficult opponent each time he battled the criminal showman.

Ibara's rivalry with Edgeshot has been stuck in a continuous stalemate with each one being incapable of defeating the other. Edgeshot gained observation haki along with Eraserhead under the tutelage of Gang Orca, which allowed him to keep up with the vine quirk user.

Tomoko built up a rivalry with Miruko due to them both having abilities that enhanced their physical capabilities. For whatever odd reason however Miruko refused to learn Haki, but had more than enough physical strength to make up for it.

Dabi gained a rival in the form of one Nejire Hado. Due to them both using a form of energy in combat they were able to keep each other on their toes. Nejire even chose to intern under Best Jeanist due to the fibermaster's rivalry with Toga often pitting him against Dabi as well.

Shouto maintained his rivalry with Katsuki Bakugo, granted he came out on top more often then not. Having a dual element quirk and haki gave him a significant advantage after all. Bakugo learned to slightly even the playing field with cunning and equipment over time.

Neito started a new rivalry with Tamaki Amajiki after completely discrediting Ryukyu as a hero in public. During one of their battles not only did Neito defend civilians from what they perceived as the dragon heroin's attacks, but he also defeated her using haki and nothing else. She was found dead in her apartment several days later from suicide.

Tooru gained a rivalry with an observation using Snipe. This was due to his observation allowing him to use his homing quirk despite her invisibility. Granted she countered his bullets with armament.

Momo primarily battled Eraserhead due to her having the best hand-to-hand skills out of all the executives. She also kept weapons and tools on her person so she could fight even if her quirk was erased. Combined with the observation haki he learned on his own, Eraserhead was a worthy opponent for Izuku's girlfriend.

Izuku had a rival in the successor of One for All, Mirio Togata. This rivalry was a given due to Mirio being the biggest obstacle in Izuku's plans and since Mirio wanted revenge for All Might. In fact they're currently engaged in battle right now.

Izuku POV

I blocked a Detroit Smash with a wall of haki infused strings. "Yeesh someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning."

My little quip caused Mirio- or rather the pro hero Lemillion- to scowl, "Give up Joker! Today's the day I'm bringing you in!"

"You say that everytime you see me. Literally every damn time. And you haven't beaten me yet." I said with a smirk.

Mirio gave his own smirk, "The key word in that statement is 'yet' Joker."

I heard footsteps before I heard Tomoko call out to me "Joker! Watch out!"

I immediately proceeded to dodge a kick from Miruko. "Heh, not bad kid I'll give you that. You would've made a great hero, too bad for you, ya made the wrong choice."

"Sorry I have a girlfriend!" I said before using my strings to launch Tomoko, who had switched into her hybrid form, at the rabbit hero.

"W-w-what!? I wasn't-" she started to say before blocking a punch from Tomoko, while blushing heavily.

Tomoko picked up on my little gag and said "Woooow Miruko. Hitting on a kid who's already taken, and you call us villains."

"That's it Ragdoll! I swear I'm gonna kick you into the ground if it's the last thing I do!"

Tomoko gave a fang filled grin "Didn't you know? LEOPARDS EAT RABBITS!" she said as the two women rushed at each other.

"Whoohoo cat fight!" I said as I dodged another one of Mirio's attacks, while using my strings to move a civilian out of harm's way. "Yeesh, property damage is one thing, but civilians are another. You really should hold back when you're fighting."

"I don't need a lecture on heroics from a villain like you!" the hero said indignantly.

"Clearly you do, seeing as I have to do your job for you." I said as I launched several bullet strings at All Might's successor.

Tomoko POV

Punch for punch, kick for kick. Even without armament Miruko can match me in terms of physical force. Unfortunately for her, I can see the future... a little bit anyway.

"Ragdoll. I never got the full story from Mandalay, what happened? What made you become a villain?" the rabbit hero asked me with an unusually somber expression.

I sighed before explaining myself. "They abandoned me. Mandalay, Pixie Bob, and Tiger all abandoned me. We were supposed to be a team, we were supposed to be sisters and they abandoned me in favor of their fame. Joker and Atsu gave me a family, a real family, and I can never thank them enough for that. Even when I struggled with my new abilities their faith and love for me never faltered, not once. That's why I'm a villain and that is why I fight. So I can at least somewhat repay them for what they did for me."

"For what it's worth, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that you had to go through that. But I can't let you do what you want. It's my duty as a hero to take you down."

I gave her a soft smile that caught her off guard. "Thank you Rumi. I can't think of a better person to be my rival." I said as my smile became ferocious once more "Now. SHOW ME WHAT YOU'VE GOT RABBIT HERO MIRUKO! YOU AREN'T DONE YET ARE YOU!"

She matched me with a smirk of her own "I AIN'T DONE YET! NOT BY A LONG SHOT RAGDOLL!"

And with that we clashed once more, releasing a large shockwave that decimated the street we were on.

General POV

Both battles continued on for ten more minutes before the cavalry arrived. Momo and Compress both used flashbang's to distract the heroes and which allowed their lovers to escape. The heroes once again suffered defeat and their approval ratings once again dropped substantially. The time was growing closer for the villains to truly take the stage.

Izuku POV

"My, my, my. The heroes are struggling more than expected." Compress said.

"Yea, but they're getting more reckless when they should be even more careful than usual." Dabi pointed out.

"Hey, hey, when can we start killing them?" Toga asked impatiently.

"The time is growing closer. We must be patient and we shall know when the time is right." Ibara responded.

"I'm in no rush." Shouto said stoically.

"Aww you should be more excited Halfsie. Joker's gonna be king after all." Tooru excitedly stated.

"I can see where he's coming from though. It's kinda sad to think that our rivals won't be around forever." Tomoko said whilst filing her nails.

"I for one am glad Ryukyu is dead." Neito interjected.

"Yes we all know how much you hate her Neito." Momo sighed.

"Hey Momo. Do you and Tooru ever wonder how the kids from your class are doing? Ibara the question is posed to you and Neito too."

"I've kept tabs on a couple. Mina's been working hard to be a good hero, no doubt since her 'best friend' was a villain. Ojiro's doing alright, he works part time as an instructor for a dojo." Tooru said.

"I get curious about Jiro on occasion, but never curious enough to check on her." Momo mumbled, still peeved at the rocker for putting her relationship with Izuku in question even if it was for a moment.

"Neito and I have not checked on our compatriots. They are of no consequence now." Ibara stated as Neito nodded in agreement.

It was at that moment I got a text. Once I read it my smirk widened. "Manual, Deatharms, Uwabami, Sirius. Yeesh Stain and that new kid of his have been busy."

"Oh, oh, thats Spinner. The lizard guy right?" Toga said excitedly.

"Bingo. Well, well, well. The time is growing ever closer boys and girls. The promised day is fast approaching. Ya'll remember the plan?"

"Get the heroes attention, aggravate them into wreaking havoc, save civilians along the way, then kill them." Dabi said. "And while that's going on our government insiders will continue paving the way for you to be king."

"Hit the nail on the head Dabi. I can't wait." I said with a wide smile.
