*Midoriya's P.O.V*
I looked around for any sign of either villains, Itake, or any student who can give me a low down. After seeing none of them, I decided to just throw all caution into the wind and head towards the smoke and fire. Once I jumped off the plateau I began running to the right towards the trail to see if I can catch anyone. Once I made it to the trail I heard something.
"... You're not the ones we got beef with." It was faint but I heard it.
I headed towards the noise, which was back towards the camp grounds. Only to see Mr. Aizawa fighting with a guy who uses blue fire.
"Midoriya!" Mr. Aizawa exclaimed.
The villain stopped using his Quirk to look at me. Then smiled, "So you took him out... I would have expected him to put up more of a cha-"
*WHAM*
"Shut up, you're not even real." I said as I continued punching him before he turned into a brown mush. "I don't know when the attack started, but I know 2 ish minutes passed since Mandalay's message. If you're telling me you ran from the fire, to here and aren't even tired, then you're beyond human." I explained before looking at Mr. Aizawa. "I'm going to find the others... don't try to stop me." I said before running off again.
There are three places Itake could be. Each one worse than the last. First, is the test of courage area, second was the gas area, and lastly the fire area. I'll start with the test of courage area since it's the closes-
"Should I go ahead and crush her pretty little skull?" A voice asked.
I turned on a dime and headed towards the direction of the noise. Only to see Mandalay, Tiger, and some of the 1-B students near her. But the villains spoke out first.
"Muscular... that rumble from earlier... you beat him?!" The big one of the two villains asked.
I slammed Muscular's unconscious body on the ground, "With one punch... I'm only going to ask this once. Kinoko Komori, brown hair, her bangs cover her eyes. Where. Is. She?" I asked.
"I know you... you're the one on the priority kill list." He said.
"Wrong answer." I said as I rushed over and punched him in the gut, knocking him out instantly.
"B-Big Sis Magne!" The lizard villain exclaimed... oh, he's a woman... doesn't matter now. I then rushed over broke the lizard villain's sword and swiftly knocked him out too. I dragged their bodies next to Muscular's. I then surveyed the area. Mandalay and Tiger are here. With Honenuki, Kamakiri, Manga, Bondo, Rin, and Tokage with them.
"Kamakiri... fill me in." I said.
"R-Right. Villains are here. One with a gas Quirk, one with a fire Quirk as you can see. The gas knocks people out. We assume it's poisonous." He explained.
"Aside from these three and the gas and fire guy. There are still unknown villains. Where is everyone else?" I asked.
"I'm sure all of them are in the Test of Courage area, which is also within the smoke area and fire area." He explained.
"Have you seen Komori?" I asked.
"No... I'm sorry." He said.
...
...
"Mandalay, relay this to everyone. 1-A, 1-B, " I said.
"What?" She asked.
"This is a message and request from Izuku Midoriya. Be on the look out for Kinoko Komori. The moment she is found. Bring her back to camp. Everyone should use their Quirks to fight and protect themselves. I will take out the remaining villains in this camp. Stay safe and don't do anything stupid." I said.
She nodded and relayed the message. "Alright, the message is sent." She said.
"Good. Now tie these scumbags up." I said before turning towards the smoke.
"I'll be back."
"Hmm Hmm Hmm... too shallow, not enough." Another voice, a shrill and crazy voice. A villain. I rushed towards the source of the noise.
"Ochako! Tsu!" I called out."
"Midoriya!" They both yelled as the villain... a young girl, looked towards me... and was staring waaaay too long.
"You." I said as I stood in front of them. "Kinoko Komori, brown hair, bangs over her eyes. Where is she?" I asked.
"I-I saw her in the gas area." Ochako said.
"What?!" I asked.
"She went third." Ochako said.
...
...
I clenched my fists in anger. "DAMN IT!" I yelled as I rushed towards the girl and punched her square in jaw, knocking the mask off and her onto the ground. "Take her to Mandalay and Tiger." I said.
"B-But-"
"NOW!" I yelled as I looked at them, "You've seen me relaxed, and you've seen me serious. But you've never seen me THIS FUCKING LIVID!" I yelled as I rushed into the smoke.
Where is the smoke use-
*BANG*
THERE!
I rushed towards the source of the gunshot, and I saw a person. I quickly punched them in the face breaking their mask and causing him to collide into a tree, the smoke disappeared thanks to my speed, but he's still conscious. I grabbed his gun and walked over to pick him up.
"I'll only ask this once. Kinoko Komori. Brown hair, bangs over her eyes. Where is she?" I asked as I held the barrel of the gun right over his unmentionables... "Answer me, or there won't be a second generation of your sorry ass." I said.
"Midoriya!"
"WHAT?!" I yelled as I turned to see... Itake, unconscious.
I slammed the person into the ground, rendering him unconscious. Afterwards I rushed over to pick her up. "Itake... Kinoko? Wake up... please?" I pleaded as I leaned my ear into her chest.
... *Bu-Bump*
"Her heart's beating... she's alive." I said as I held her unconscious body close... then handed her over to Kendou. "Take care of her... I'll be back."
"W-Where are you going?" She asked as Tetsutetsu was coughing agressively.
"I'm going to make sure the League of Villains learn to never attack my friends. Fool me once, shame on them, fool me twice shame on me, fool me three times... there won't be a fucking third time." I said as I was about to run towards the fire zone... only for the sound of a chainsaw to echo throughout the forest.
The fire zone can wait.
"CRAP CRAAP! THIS GUY'S BAD NEWS!" A voice yelled... 1-B... and Momo.
"Oy! Big guy!" I yelled as I rushed towards the chainsaw Nomu.
"Guh?!" He moaned but I slammed my fist into it's face knocking it down. I then walked over and gripped it's chin with both hands. With the strongest pull I could manage I ripped it's head out of it's body. I then dropped it onto the floor and stomped on it, ending any hopes of it regenerating.
"Are you two alright?" I asked.
"M-Momo's hurt." Awase said.
"I-I'm fine." She muttered.
"No you're not. Awase take her back to camp. The smoke is cleared and as of right now. The midpoint to the entrance of the 'Test of Courage' is devoid of all villains, excluding the fire area. Steer clear of that, and you should be fine." I said.
"W-What about you?" Awase asked.
"I'm going to wipe out the remainder of this attack squad. So far 6 of them have been taken out. Excluding the fire guy, and someone who can make clones. So there are at least 2 more I need to take out. Since I'm here I'm going to check the rest of the path." I said before moving towards the path.
"Good luck, and stay alive... please."
As I was running down the trail... the air got cooler.
"FUCK OFF HALF AND HALF BASTARD!"
And... there's Bakugou. I rushed towards the souce of the slew of curses... only to see a guy with gigantic steel teetk piercing Todoroki's ice.
"Shoto, Katsuki!" I yelled as they looked at me.
"Fucking nerd, why are you here?! And who said you can call me by my first name." Bakugou asked.
"Where are the others?" I asked as I saw Tsuburaba on Shoto's back.
"Somewhere in the forest." Shoto said, "What about you? Have you seen anyone?"
"Quite a few. I have taken out 6 of the at least 8... now 9 villains here. I also killed a Nomu." I said.
"You fucking murdered someone?" Bakugou asked with a smirk on his face, "I take back what I said. Katsuki it is."
I rolled my eyes at that, "It was instinct. It was going to regenerate and hurt the others. Besides... it was an act of mercy on him, better to be dead than go around with chainsaws and drills for arms." I said.
"Flesh... flesh." The villain said.
"Can it BDSM Man!" I yelled as I jumped up and kicked him in the teeth, snapping them in two as he fell onto the ground. I followed up with an axe kick while he was on the ground. "We're talking here." I said as he shot upwards before falling back down unconscious. "So It's safe to assume that all of the villains in the test of courage area are good. Now all that's left is to go into the fire zone." I said.
"You can't go in there alone." Shoto said.
"Yeah fuckface. Hogging all the glory for yourself." Katsuki scoffed.
"Glad to see you care for my well being." I said sarcastically, "But I'll be fine. You have Tsuburaba, take him to camp and stay there. Everyone else should be heading there too... unless things got complicated." I said before turning towards the direction of the fire zone. "It's safe to assume there are 10 villains here. Excluding the one responsible for the fire, and a cloning villain, there is still one out there unaccounted for. Everyone is at least in pairs. So stay close to each other and keep talking, you'll know if one of you gets caught the moment one stops talking." I said.
Katsuki was about to open his mouth but I held up a hand. "They hurt Kinoko..." I said, which made Katsuki flinch, "This is personal now... so for your safety. Stay out of it." I said before picking up the BDSM Man and ran off.
... No, I should check on Mandalay and Tiger, see if the others made it back yet.
"Tiger, Mandalay." I said as I tossed the BDSM villain near the pile of unconscious and tied up villains. "I found Katsuki, Shoto, and Tsuburaba. Role call, did people make it back?" I asked.
"Excluding Bakugou, Todoroki, and Tsuburaba. Everyone excluding Mezo Shoji, Fumikage Tokoyami, Kyouka Jirou, Tooru Hagakura, and Yuuga Aoyama are still missing. Everyone else is at the camp grounds." She said, "But why are they here? They wouldn't hold an attack just for the heck of it, there must be a goal in their minds."
...
...
It's not for money of fame. If it was for money they could have just kidnapped Momo and asked for a kings ransom. It can't be for fame either because they're pretty infamous right now especially after the Hosu attack.
All Might? No, after I foiled that plan they would need a bigger army than this. Even with Muscular and BDSM guy.
... It has to be.
"Katsuki. They want Katsuki." I said.
"What?!" They both exclaimed.
"Katsuki was livid during the award ceremony of the Sports Festival. The villains saw that as him trying to be a hero, but is more suited to be a villain. They want to convert him to the villain side." I said, "The only counter point is that Katsuki helped Shoto, Tenya, and I fight off Nomu at Hosu. But, maybe that would make the villains want him even more, they know how powerful and how violent prone he is." I said before rushing back, "I have to go check on them!"
... Please, let me be wrong for once.
"BREEEEEEEAAAAA!"
What the fuck?!
I ran towards the source of the noise... only to see Katsuki and Shoto creating light around Fumikage with Mezo heavily wounded.
"Fumikage are you alright?" I asked kneeling down to his level.
"I'm alright Midoriya... and Fumikage?" He asked.
"What? I'm out here fighting for all of your safety. I think we're on first name basis by now." I said, "A-Anyway getting off topic. I'm almost certain as to why the villains are here." I said.
"Which is?" Mezo asked.
"Katsuki." I said, "They want to take Katsuki to convert him to the villains side." I said.
...
...
"That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard." Katsuki scoffed.
"Is it? You were unhinged during the Sports Festival award ceremony. They saw that and view you as prone to getting violent and angry. Plus the only heroic act they saw you do is fight off Nomu at Hosu city with Shoto, Tenya, and I. But I theorize that would make them want you even more, you're powerful and teetering over the edge of snapping." I explained.
"Huh?!" Katsuki exclaimed.
"Assuming your theory is true... which somehow they always are... what do we do?" Shoto asked.
"Isn't it obvious? We take him to camp escort style." I said, "Mezo uses his hearing to listen in case the last villain comes around. Fumikage and Shoto will be in the front and back respectively. I'll be next to him should the villain try an arieal assault. My speed should be able to catch him even if they try something to get Katsuki." I said.
"Hey, I don't need to be protected!" Katsuki exclaimed.
"Protected or not. We'll be able to get one of the last villains this way. So either you'll be treated as a V.I.P, or we'll use you as Live Bait, which do you want to be?" I asked.
...
...
"Fucking... fine. We'll do it your way, damn nerd." Katsuki said.
"Good. And keep talking. Should the villain get us we'll know immediately." I ordered.
"Right." They all said.
"Got it." Katsuki replied.
"Then let's get moving."
"So Midoriya- I mean Izuku." Mezo said.
"You can call me whatever, but yeah?" I asked.
"Is everyone else alright?" He asked.
"Yes, the only three missing is Kyouka, Tooru, and Yuuga. They're in the fire zone since it's the only place I haven't checked. The minute you all are safe I'll check on them. Right Shoto?" I asked... no response!
The three of us turned to see them gone. "How? I didn't even sense him?"
"The boy you speak of. I took him with my magic." A guy with a yellow coat, a cane, and a mask said while tossing a pearl up and down, "This talent isn't someone who should be on the hero side. We'll take him to a stage where he can shine more."
"Hey! Doctor Strange! Give Katsuki and Shoto back." I said.
"'Give Katsuki and Shoto back'? That's a strange thing to say. They doesn't belong to anyone. They are their own person you egoist." He said.
"Coming from the guy who took them without their consent. You hypocrite." I said, "But you think you have the upper hand here... but you don't. What's your move? If you run back to your cohorts I will follow you and take all of you down. You may be swift and stealthy, but now that I have a lock on you, you won't be getting much distance. If you sit and wait I can just jump up to you, knock you out, then go find your cohorts myself. Hell, even if Kurogiri comes here and warps you away, I can just run into the portal and take you all out from the inside. All your options are covered." I explained, "So let's try this again. Give. Them. Back." I said as I got ready to rush him the moment he makes a move.
"Dark Shadow!" Fumikage yelled as an angry Dark Shadow rushed the clown... only for him to jump out of the way and sail off in another direction.
"Shit! Option 1 it is then. I'll go after them. You two head back to camp." I said.
"B-But."
"No buts, you two can't keep up anyway." I said as I sped off in his direction.
I hope I can make it in time.
He keeps zig zagging around trying to throw me off. But I won't give up that easily. He led me around what felt like circles... until he eventually landed near a clearing... I'm expecting a trap. Once I ran into the clearing I ducked out of the way of a blue fire blast.
"I assume you're the real deal?" I asked as I looked around for Magician Man.
"Indeed he isn't. Indeed he is." A black and white Deadpool said.
"... So we got Anti-Deadpool, Bizarro Doctor Strange, and Blue Dormammu. Man, you all must have trouble with Disney." I quipped.
"Enough, we're wasting time. Where are the others?" Blue Dormammu asked.
"Taken out. It's just you three..." I said while getting ready to fight, "And the guy who took all 7 of them out, including that Nomu of yours."
"You took out Spinner, Magne, Himiko, Mustard, Moonfish, Muscular, and our Nomu?" He asked.
"Question... is Moonfish the gas dude or the BDSM iron teeth dude? Either way I took both out. Along with Muscular, Spinner, Magne, and I killed your Nomu. Ripped his head clean off and stomped on it's head. They won't be coming back from that." I said.
"Impossible. Super Possible!" He said.
"Anti-Deadpool is Wrong... then right." I said getting ready... so who wants some?
...
...
*Clap* *Clap*
I looked at all three of them... no claps.
"Well done... Izuku Midoriya." A deep voice said.
"Who wants to know?" I asked as a tall figure with a mask and a suit walked up.
"Mr. Compress... hand him the three prisoners. We have no need for them anymore." He said as Bizarro Doctor Strange handed me three pearls, they reverted back to Shoto, Katsuki... and Ragdoll. I figured it out.
"So your plan wasn't to capture Katsuki... it was to lure me to you. Taking them was bait." I said which resulted in him nodding.
"Indeed. Shigaraki wanted allies sure. But he realized that you were the biggest threat to his goals. In terms of strength... and intellect. He wanted to be here just so he can take you out himself, but I told him to have patience. There was no need to throw his life away for a short term goal." He said.
"Nerd... who is that?" Katsuki asked as he and Todoroki stood up.
"Heh..." I chuckled before bowing,"Well I must say, it's an honor to meet you. After all this time."
"All for One."
