At the conference, reporters continued to prod Aizawa for information, such as the kids fighting against the villains at his approval.
"We did not know the full situation, so I felt it necessary to allow them to use their quirks for self-defense," Aizawa explained.
"Do you really believe it was the best course of action?" a reporter asked. "In the end you still had several injuries and a kidnapped student."
"It could have gone a lot worse," Aizawa said. "All the students could have been killed in the end."
"Most of the kids were harmed through a gas attack, which I theorize is a quirk from one of the villains," Nezu said. "I thank Miss Kendo and Mr. Tetsutetsu for rectifying that problem and keeping injuries as minimal as possible. We're also providing mental help for the students but fortunately there are no signs of psychological trauma."
"Or so you say…" came a voice of a woman, making her way to the front of the room, her presence surprising even the reporters. "Is that accurate, or are you hiding something?"
"Miss Lois Lane of The Daily Planet, what a surprise to see you here," Nezu said.
"I don't suppose J Jonah Jameson is somehow in the crowd too?" Aizawa sarcastically remarked.
"Don't count on it, the Daily Bugle isn't what it used to be, right now that old try hard is probably cranking this up on that stupid podcast of his," Lois said. "I'm here to get the nitty gritty, I've been following your school and all its actions since the attack at the USJ months back, knowing you held a Sports Festival right afterwards just felt like what the kids call, a 'huge flex', one that backfired on you tremendously."
"Perhaps it was a poor idea but our belief at the time was to show a lack of fear on behalf of our students," Nezu explained.
"And now you have several young children in the hospital with one boy captured by dangerous villains, doing who knows what to him," Lois said. "For all you know, he's probably being tortured, maybe it's for information about your school, maybe information on any hero he's encountered, or the villains just like seeing people squirm."
"We cannot say for sure," Nezu said. "We do feel for his situation, as well as the grief his family may going through."
"Well that's not going to get him back, is it?" Lois remarked, Aizawa looking a bit infuriated. "But I gotta say, a boy like Katsuki Bakugo, from what I've seen, hardly displays characteristics many would call heroic. From his ruthless battles at the Sports Festival and his violent tendencies at the awards ceremony, one could conclude the villains probably want to recruit him. Can you confidently say that you as a school did a good enough job teaching him to be a proper hero? That he won't succumb so easily to evil?"
Aizawa looked even more furious, something Vlad King picked up on, "This woman really knows how to run her mouth. Makes sense, she's an old pro at this, I just hope Eraser Head doesn't give in and say something foolish."
"To my knowledge, some of Spider-Man's old enemies were at the campsite as well, and Katsuki Bakugo lost in the finals to his daughter, how do you know this wasn't a trap set up by the boy himself then? Maybe a simple revenge plot in addition to a thirst for power," Lois said.
"Not this again..." Vlad King would rather not see rumors of a UA traitor spread, bad enough it's talked about among the teachers, he did not need the public wondering too.
"Well!? Answer me!" Lois shouted. "How can you sit there all calm knowing that this boy is either being tortured by these villains, or corrupted!? What if he's being brainwashed!? What if your school just created one of the world's deadliest villains!? Care to explain that possibility Eraser Head!? Explain how a prestigious hero school can fall so badly!?"
"Don't give in Eraser," Vlad King worried as Aizawa stood up. "Don't let her get in your head!"
Fortunately, as angry as Aizawa looked in lite of Lois Lane's prodding, he kept his cool and bowed to the Metropolis Journalist, "As Katsuki Bakugo's teacher, I take full responsibility for not taming his violent behavior. But his actions at the Sports Festival were born of his convictions. He wants to be the top hero, and if the villains think they can change that, then they are terribly mistaken."
"That's cute, but that doesn't really put me or anyone at ease, plus for all we know, what you're saying is simple damage control to excuse that boy's bratty behavior, don't think a few words are enough to convince me that easily," Lois said. "Do you even have a glimmer of hope that this whole thing will be resolved?"
"We are working only based on what the police have gathered for us, we hope to have more information soon," Nezu said.
At the bar, Bakugo seemed to have a satisfied smile on his face as he heard the report statements, "Seems like the teachers give me more credit than I thought. You have it though; I'm never joining you losers!" "Idiots planned all this for nothing, they went through all that just to get me to join their group, and since I know that's their goal, that means they are unlikely to even try to kill me. It's sad really, especially with these so-called veterans, The Brotherhood of Dumbasses. It's no wonder they get their asses kicked by the X-Men on a regular basis. Maybe I can take a couple of these termites down quick and amscray."
It was tense inside the bar, Bakugo stood there ready for a fight, the other villains unsure what to do that this point. They just readied for a fight, one that Bakugo was ready to bring.
"We may not be at camp, but I will still fight you!" Bakugo warned.
"Brat must have figured out that we need him," Magne theorized. "How clever."
"No, he's just a fool," Dabi said.
"Can I stab him?" Toga asked.
"Not before I burn him," Pyro said. "Show him the real power of fire."
"I feel like he should have acted like we were winning him over," Compress said. "But now that he's broken character, he's doomed."
"I do whatever the hell I want to, and I never fake shit," Bakugo said. "Right now I'm done being surrounded by you lame-ass wannabes!"
Shigaraki turned to the hand that fell on the floor, "Father..." He quickly raised his hand, as if ready to strike.
"Wait Tomora Shigaraki!" Kurogiri urged.
Fortunately Shigaraki was not in a fighting mood, rather he wished to remain peaceful, "No one attack him." He picked up the hand, placing it back on his face, "He's still valuable to us after all."
"Valuable? Kid's a loudmouth," Boom said. "Shame too, his power is pretty similar to mine, I thought I could have had a little portage in raising hell. At this point, it'd be a mercy if we kill him now before he runs his mouth and gets killed by a stronger villain, who might just torture him first."
"Let him talk crap to Dr. Doom, see how long he lasts," Pyro said.
"Ooh! What about The Joker? That would be fun!" Toga said.
"Right on the mark there, love," Pyro said, turning to Bakugo. "You think you're all great, but each time I see you, you're just another poor soul wrapped into misfortune. Getting beaten up by Spider-Man's daughter, being at my mercy, now your kidnapping and being surrounded by people who can kill you in a heartbeat. Something tells me that there's a lot of fear behind that smile."
"This guy is really pissing me off," Bakugo thought of blasting Pyro first, and going for the others right after.
"I gotta say, it's a shame the two of us could not come to an understanding, Katsuki Bakugo," Shigaraki said.
"Well you thought wrong," Bakugo said.
"Then we have no choice here," Shigaraki said. "With that stupid investigation going on, we're going to have to move on."
"How so boss?" Pyro asked.
"I'll show you," Shigaraki turned to the computer screen. "Master, give me your power."
From the other side, a sinisterly grin can be seen, that belonging to the leader, All for One, "Wise choice."
Meanwhile the UA students were seen following the tracker toward an old seemingly abandoned building, Momo stopping the others in their tracks.
"This is the spot the tracker is broadcasting from," Momo said.
"That's their hideout then?" Kirishima asked.
"I'm not sure, but the tracking here indicates the villain has not left for the past day," Momo explained. "But there's no telling if Bakugo is even here, this villain could be alone for all we know, we're going into this blind, so use your best judgement when proceeding."
"Stealth is not our strong suit," Tenya said. "Hagakure and Jiro would better suited, or possibly even Mayday, assuming her father has trained her in that field."
"He has," Rina said. "My pops trained me a bit too though, so I can help you out."
"Regardless, if things go wrong, we're leaving, I will not hesitate to call the police if it means keeping you all safe," Tenya said.
"Thank you Iida, now let's see what we can do here," Izuku said, then began his typical muttering, "The prerequisite is that we don't use the quirks to fight the villains, and in addition..."
"Been a while since I've seen him do this," Kirishima said.
"Yes, truly synonymous with Midoriya," Momo said.
"Mayday and Flurry always talk about him doing this, never seen it for myself," Rina said. "He really does look like a dork though."
"A little, but it is charming in its own way," Ochako said. "I just hope it doesn't give us away on accident."
"Well, once you set your heart on something, there really is no swaying you," Tenya realized. "I respect that about you as a friend and rival, but there must be boundaries, and I must protect you from crossing them."
Elsewhere the heroes had gathered in two different locations, two squads ready to go out and stop the League of Villains. One squad with Tsukaiuchi, and one with Best Jeanist.
"Why am I doing this? I have bigger problems than cleaning up UA's mess," Endeavor said.
"Get off your high horse," Best Jeanist ridiculed from a tv monitor. "Aren't you a UA graduate?"
"Yeah dude, do your damn job as a hero," Johnny scolded. "Or at least do it for the safety of your son, or all your kids for that matter."
"I don't recall asking for your input, Torch," Endeavor said.
"Sounds like you need it regardless," Johnny said.
"Hey, settle down, save the aggression for the villains," Gohan scolded.
"Thank you Saiyaman, it is important that we remain focused on the task ahead," Tsukauchi said. "We can't afford to pull any of the teachers from UA Endeavor, which is why we need as much help as we can get."
"Plus with this many of us, we should be able to pull this job off quite well," Peni said, laying back on her SP/dr robot.
"Now, this incident is likely the beginning of the end for hero society," Tsukauchi said. "We'll do our best to resolve this matter."
"Still can't believe that dork Bakugo got himself captured, all because the villains saw something in him that they wanted for themselves," Johnny said. "I've personally trained the kid, and yeah, he's got one hell of a mean streak, but I don't think he's the type to turn evil or anything."
"Knowing him, he's probably resisting the villains, he acts bad but I can tell he's got some goodness in him," Rainbow Dash said. "Kid really wants to be a hero."
"We must hurry then," Best Jeanist said. "A boy like that can only last for so long."
"My comrade Ragdoll was also taken," Tiger said from within Best Jeanist's room. "This is my chance to save her."
"We got your back Mon Ami," Remy said. "Pretty eager to get them back for what they did to my wife."
"How is her condition?" Tiger asked. "I should hope it's nothing critical."
"Doctors were quick to treat the poison, Spider-Man made sure to help with that," Remy said.
"I apologize for not being able to protect her," Tiger said.
"You did your best, if anything protecting her should be my job, she's my wife after all," Remy said. "Plus you were personally affected too, so we both have stake in this."
"One of the tracking devices left behind by a student show there may be two hideout locations, and our prior investigation showed us where the kidnapped student likely is" Tsukauchi said. "A bulk of our forces will be used to save Bakugo, that is our top priority. Detective Chun-Li will lead another squad to the other hideout should they try to escape, and we'll arrest them all at once."
"A friend of mine is on his way as well, mostly to lead an investigation on one piece of detail that caught my eye during the reports," Chun-Li said. "He should be arriving from the States real soon."
"The States? You got an ally from overseas?" Mount Lady asked.
"I have a lot of connections all over the world too, dating back to my days as a Street Fighter," Chun-Li said.
"Should be interesting," Remy said. "Can't wait to see who it is."
"Toshinori," Gran Torino said, getting All Might's attention. "I have some qualms that they needed an old man like me."
"You're still Gran Torino sir," All Might insisted. "Plus with stakes this high, it is very likely that 'he' is involved."
"All for One..." Gran Torino said.
This did not go unnoticed by Peter, the hero standing unmasked beside his friends and hearing the rumors, "We gotta take this guy down and soon, before he gets to the kids, especially Mayday. They're not ready for that type of power."
"Um, big brother," Peni said, getting Peter's attention. "How well do you know that boy? The one who got taken by those villains? Johnny and Dash say he's cool, but what's your opinion."
"In a personal sense, I know very little about him, but I've seen him up close," Peter said. "Strong kid, but he's got a really rotten attitude. Not an ideal personality for an up-and-coming hero."
"Is it really that bad?" Peni asked.
"Take it from, he's got the strength of a hero, but power isn't the only thing he should be working on," Johnny interjected. "That's the thing with UA, seems like they're more about the muscle than anything else, they forget how important skill is."
"And this is coming from Johnny, dude loves to flex his muscles," Peter joked.
"Not denying that," Johnny said. "But for real though Peter, guys like you and Reed show that intelligence is just as important, but everyone wants to gauge power level like that's the only thing that matters."
"Considering how little respect other courses get, yeah pretty much," Peni said. "I personally speak from experience, I had to work extra hard just to compete."
"You turned out well though," Johnny said. "Bakugo could definitely use a chill pill or two."
"What concerns me is that at the Sports Festival, he almost took pleasure in hurting his classmates, something he regretted the moment he came into battle against Mayday," Peter said. "Of course, I don't condone how she composed herself that day."
"It was both amazing and terrifying seeing her go all out like that," Johnny said.
"It was almost like looking in a mirror," Peni joked. "I hope she hasn't learned that aggression from me."
"No, of course not sis," Peter said.
"Yeah, if anything she inherited it from Twilight," Johnny joked.
Twilight's eye twitched, "Mind repeating that Matchstick!?"
"Don't call me that in public!" Johnny frantically shouted.
"Torch, simmer down," All Might instructed.
"She started it though," Johnny said.
"Hey you're the one talking trash about me!" Twilight said.
"See this proves my point about you negatively influencing Mayday," Johnny said. "You don't always behave like a prim and proper Princess, and when you're not having a fit, you're getting, what your brother calls, 'Twiley-Naners'."
Twilight's face turned red, her brother's embarrassing nickname for her being said out loud in a room of other heroes, many of them awkwardly staring her way. She was ready to throw down, glaring right at the flame hero before her, "Look you, I have half a mind to-
"Will you two stop behaving like five-year-olds!" All Might shouted, causing the two to flinch. "Now straighten yourselves out! This is a meeting for a rescue mission, not the first day of kindergarten!"
"Yes sir," Twilight said, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"Sure thing," Johnny reluctantly stated.
"Now then, Tsukauchi," All Might said.
"Right, now we have the element of surprise," Tsuckauchi said. "At the Press Conference earlier, Principal Nezu faked cluelessness to deceive the villains, they will not expect a retaliation so soon! Let's counterattack, remind the world what you can do!"
"With pleasure," Peter said, placing his mask on, ready to go and do his job as Spider-Man.
Peni popped a piece of bubble gum in her mouth and hopped back into her robot suit, readying it for search and combat, "Let's do this."
Meanwhile with the UA kids, they were seen waiting outside the warehouse, right by a vending machine, awaiting their next course of action.
"So is something supposed to happen now?" Ochako asked. "Do we have a plan?"
"Yeah we gotta move fast," Rina said. "Otherwise our buddy Katsuki is doomed."
"We just gotta figure out a good way to get inside," Izuku said, looking around. "The weeds near the door look undisturbed."
"That's nice and all but that sounds like a job for a gardener," Rina said.
"That isn't what I meant," Izuku said. "I'm trying to point out any possibility of it being-"
"Hey!" came the voice of a drunken man, who along with his friend seemed to be eyeing Momo, Ochako and Rina. "Why don't you nice ladies ditch these losers and come with us!"
"Excuse me?" Momo said, looking a bit disgusted, the other girls feeling the same.
"Hey, you talking to us!?" Izuku shouted, standing in front of the girls.
"How reprehensible! Away with you!" Tenya ordered.
"Ignore them, they're not worth our time," Shoto said, trying to lead them away.
However the two drunken men were immediately knocked unconscious, confusing the kids until they saw who it was, and needless to say, they were both surprised and quite worried.
"Deadpool!? Pinkie Pie!?" Izuku said.
Indeed the normally wacky and eccentric couple were the ones who knocked the men out, moving the two aside while glaring at the students.
"Good to see you kids again," Pinkie said, her voice lacking her usual pep.
"Uh..." Izuku had to think quickly, "Do we look like kids lady!? Can't you see we're a bunch of adults who-"
Pinkie lightly bonked Izuku on the head, knocking him out of his character, "Save it, your disguises aren't fooling me."
"Also your acting is terrible," Deadpool said. "But you look pretty badass, especially you Tenya, you should consider growing a mustache, assuming that one's fake."
"Wade..." Pinkie scolded, then focused back on the kids. "Care to explain what you kids are doing here this late at night?"
"Uh...going for a midnight stroll?" Kirishima said, everyone giving him weird looks. "Well I don't see any of you thinking of something to say!"
"We should tell them the truth, they're heroes after all, we cannot be dishonest with a pro hero," Tenya said.
"Yeah I guess you're right," Izuku said, then focused his attention on the couple. "It's like this..."
"You formed a super-secret retrieval group to rescue Katsuki Bakugo from the League of Villains, is that right?" Pinkie asked.
"Huh? How did you know?" Izuku replied.
"I mean it's common sense, why else would you be here?" Pinkie asked.
"Plus one of your classmates spilt the beans on you kids," Deadpool said.
"Wade!" Pinkie scolded. "You're not supposed to tell them!"
"Someone ratted us out!?" Kirishima asked. "Who would do that?"
"A friend who was concerned for your safety, and I can't blame this friend for it either! You kids are totally bananas for going on a dangerous vigilante mission!" Pinkie Pie said, then focused her attention on her former pupil. "I'm especially disappointed in you Tenya, after what happened in Hosu I thought you would know better than to repeat that mistake!"
"Don't blame Iida, he only came to make sure we didn't cross the line," Izuku said.
"Yeah, he even tried talking us out of it," Kirishima said.
"I appreciate your voices of concern, but it's alright, I shall speak for myself," Tenya said, then faced his former mentor. "I promise you Pinkie Pie, we had no intention of trying to pick a fight with any of the villains, we just hoped to find Bakugo and leave. I am even prepared to call the proper authorities and let them handle the situation if need be. Under no circumstances did I intend to get into a fight, nor let my classmates get into a brawl."
"We just wanted to save our classmate, we couldn't sit by and do nothing," Ochako said. "Otherwise, we couldn't call ourselves heroes."
"So you decided to take matters into your own hands huh?" Deadpool asked. "Even if it could have gotten you killed."
"I can't say I'm happy with this, but I do understand where you're coming from," Pinkie said. "Unfortunately, I can't let you continue this on your own."
"But we're so close, the warehouse is right here, we just need to sneak in somehow," Izuku said.
"Midoriya, perhaps this is the best time to go, now that we've confirmed the location and that we know a pair of pro heroes are here, maybe we should just call it a night and leave the rest to Deadpool and Pinkie Pie," Tenya suggested.
"But...we came this close, I just can't go home now," Izuku said. "I really need to see for myself."
"I feel the same way, maybe we can at least stay in the back or something," Ochako suggested.
"Yeah, maybe we can be your official back up," Kirishima said. "I mean can't you two deputize us or something?"
"It's not that easy, I can't just place a sticker on you and say 'Boom, you're official'," Deadpool said. "I don't even have the authority to do something like that, neither does Pinkie Pie."
"And even if we did, I still wouldn't give it to you, it could be dangerous," Pinkie said. "I couldn't live with myself if any of you got hurt."
"Can we at least see if he's alright?" Izuku asked. "Please, I'm just so worried."
"I don't know about this..." Pinkie said. "After Hosu, I just couldn't risk seeing you get hurt. I mean, you took a very bad injury that day Izuku, and Tenya, you got your arm hurt, the doctor said you have permanent nerve damage. I feel like it's my fault that your arm is hurt, and I couldn't protect either of you and I really don't want to go through that again."
Of course Tenya started to feel remorse, once again remembering how much his actions have had a lasting impact. He hates knowing that Pinkie Pie feels this way, he does not fault her, he blames himself, but she clearly doesn't feel that way. "Midoriya, think of how Pinkie Pie feels, you wouldn't want to worry her, would you?"
"Of course not, but I'm still worried about Kacchan, I feel weird just going back now," Izuku said.
"Midoriya...this is borderline selfish," Tenya said.
"Just one peek, I'll stay as far away from the other villains," Izuku said. "I won't be able to sleep well unless I know Kacchan is safe."
"Isn't that kid a total dickhead to you, why are you even that concerned?" Deadpool asked.
"Wade! Don't say stuff like that! Izuku's just kindhearted, even if it is to a fault," Pinkie said.
"Kacchan and I do have, struggles, but we still grew up together and we have the same goal and dream, it's just really complicated," Izuku said.
"We just want closure, can't you two accept that?" Kirishima asked, then turned to Tenya. "What about you Iida? You're our class rep, don't you want to know for sure if Bakugo's safe?"
"Of course, but I also believe it's important to respect the wishes these pro heroes," Tenya said. "I personally would not want to cause Pinkie Pie the same grief I did at Hosu, and like Pinkie Pie, I don't want any of you getting hurt either. Far as I'm concerned, your safety is my responsibility."
Izuku grew frustrated, he couldn't give up, he had to do something. The boy focused his attention to Pinkie Pie, removing his shades and looking her in the eyes, "If it was one of your friends, wouldn't you want to confirm their safety? I am prepared to do what I must to see Kacchan, and I am willing to compromise with what you would want me to do, if it looks bad, I will make a run for it, we all will, but just give us five minutes to make sure. Whether he is there or not, one peek is all we need to be sure, to say that I tried my best. Please Pinkie Pie."
Pinkie could tell Izuku was adamant about this, she started to wonder if telling him 'no' again would even work, chances are he would sneak back anyway. "Just, let me talk to Wade, wait here." The two took a few steps away and spoke in hushed tone for a few seconds, leaving the kids worried.
"Think we should try to sneak off?" Kirishima asked.
"No way, you can't escape Pinkie Pie," Rina said.
"...What do you mean we can't escape her?" Kirishima asked, feeling a bit worried.
"If any of you move from your spot, I will alert both Deadpool and Pinkie Pie in a heartbeat," Tenya warned. "I will not allow you to defy direct authority."
"Wow, you really lay down the law when you need to, gonna work wonders they day you turn pro," Rina said.
Eventually Pinkie Pie spoke up again, getting the attention of the kids. "I really should not be doing this, I might get into a whole heap of trouble."
"We," Deadpool corrected. "I'm not letting you take the fall for this alone."
"Of course," Pinkie spoke again. "Wade and I are taking a huge risk but...alright, you kids can finish your search."
"Oh thank you Pinkie Pie," Izuku said.
"But! And this is a big but!" Pinkie said, ignoring her husband's stifled laughter, though she herself found it hard to maintain a straight face after saying that. "We're coming with you. Which means you must stay close to us, and if we decide that it's too dangerous to pursue, you are to go straight home and leave it be. We don't need any more kids getting caught by these baddies."
"Tenya, you're more responsible than they are, so we're gonna need you to back us up on that," Deadpool said.
"Of course sir," Tenya said, bowing to Deadpool.
"Heh, sir, I feel so important," Deadpool said.
"We won't cause you any trouble," Izuku reassured, then was met with a pinky finger. "What's this?"
"Pinkie Promise me," Pinkie said.
"Pinkie Promise?" Izuku asked.
"The Pinkie Promise..." Tenya commented, recalling his first encounter.
"Oh sweet, the Pinkie Promise makes its grand return," Rina said.
"What is a Pinkie Promise?" Ochako asked.
"The ultimate in trust, to break a Pinkie Promise is the fastest way to lose a friend," Rina said.
"Forever!" Deadpool added.
"Uh...I am so confused," Izuku said.
"Just so you know Midoriya, she takes Pinkie Promises very seriously, do as you're told," Tenya warned.
"Uh, alright..." Izuku said, wrapping his pinky around hers.
"Do you Pinkie Promise to do as I say, Izuku Midoriya?" Pinkie asked.
"Yes, I Pinkie Promise," Izuku said.
"Cross your heart? Hope to fly? Stick a cupcake in your eye?" Pinkie asked, doing the mannerisms.
"Uh..." Izuku turned to Tenya in confusion.
"Well?" Tenya said. "Do you agree with those terms?"
"Y-yes, I agree," Izuku said.
"Gotta do the mannerisms," Rina said.
"All of you do it," Pinkie said, demonstrating the mannerisms again.
"For real?" Kirishima asked.
"Yes for real! Hop to it!" Pinkie ordered.
"Better hurry before she gets mad," Rina said, doing the mannerisms.
Reluctantly and awkwardly, everyone did the mannerisms, "We Pinkie Promise!"
"Alright then, let's go see if we can save Katsuki," Pinkie said, leading the kids. "This way, but quietly."
The kids cautiously followed after the hero duo, relieved that their impromptu rescue mission was not jeopardized. If anything this could work in their favor, having the permission of two pros would likely lessen any consequences they could face if discovered by others, at least that's what they had hoped.
"So do you kids even have a plan?" Deadpool asked.
"Well our plan is just to sneak in, it's just a matter of how," Izuku explained.
"Well for starters, try going around the back," Deadpool suggested, gesturing to a nearby narrow pathway. "Might be a tight fit but it should get you there quicker."
"Yeah, good idea, that way we can avoid any pedestrians nearby," Izuku said. "Everyone good with that plan?"
"Yeah, let's do it," Kirishima said.
Up at a nearby roof, Mayday was seen scouting overhead, looking a bit frustrated at what she's seen so far, "So much for that." She secretly followed her classmates, hoping to maintain a watchful eye over them.
Moments later the students were seen squeezing through the tight alleyway. Deadpool led the way should there be danger while Pinkie took to the back.
"Hey Yaoyorozu, you doing alright up there?" Rina asked.
"I'm fine, don't worry about me," Momo said.
"That's really considerate of you to ask Rina, did Momo look worried?" Pinkie asked.
"Oh no, it's just that she has really large boobs and I wasn't sure if she'd make it through here," Rina said, embarrassing Momo a bit.
"They aren't that large, are they?" Momo asked.
"Don't be ashamed Momo, it's nature," Pinkie said, looking down to her own chest. "I know how you feel though, if not for my quirk, I might not have been able to fit." She briefly looked behind, "Especially given all the sweets I eat, really goes to certain parts of your body."
"Not that it's a bad thing," Deadpool said, in an almost perverted tone.
"Can we not talk about this right now?" Kirishima pleaded.
"Yeah, last thing we need is to risk the guys getting stuck instead, this topic tends to send some blood to certain body parts for them," Rina said.
"This is so embarrassing," Izuku said, trying hard not to think about what Momo might be going through, or Pinkie Pie for that matter. Of course remembering the one time he grabbed her in a not so appropriate place certainly wasn't helping, neither was the memory of her hugging him to the point where his face was squished between that same spot. "Deadpool! We're almost there, right!?"
"Not much further," Deadpool said.
Ochako seemed almost as worried as Momo, for similar reasons, except she kept looking behind, Pinkie Pie wasn't the only one who had some issues in the back, "Maybe it would have been easier if I used my quirk to make everyone float overhead."
"If you do that, you'll risk getting caught," Deadpool pointed out, leading everyone out of the narrow space. "We're here anyway."
"And I see an entrance now," Izuku said, pointing up. "Right there, through the window."
"Good eye Deku, but won't it be hard to see in the dark?" Ochako asked.
"I'll make a night vision scope," Momo said.
"No need," Kirishima said, grabbing one out of his pocket. "I brought my own."
"Oh sweet, you know someone in special ops or something?" Rina asked.
"No, I bought it online," Kirishima said. "I needed to be prepared for tonight's mission after all."
"You bought that?" Deadpool asked. "Those things are pretty expensive though, are you rich or did you just happen to save a shit load of coupons?"
"Yeah, those things are like 50,000 yen, I remember looking into those myself for my costume," Izuku said.
"How much is 50,000 yen in Canada?" Rina asked.
"A little over 500 Canadian Dollars," Deadpool said. "Which is a lot for a kid to have."
"Just drop it," Kirishima said. "It doesn't really matter right now."
"Yeah, he's right," Shoto said. "Just let Kirishima serve as our scout. Midoriya, back him up."
"I'll help you up kid, Pinkie come help," Deadpool said, squeezing over to help Kirishima as Pinkie squeezed over to Izuku. "Now let's get you up there."
"I can go up myself," Ochako said, ready to activate her quirk.
"Save your energy for when you need it," Kirishima said. "Besides, don't you get sick when you use your quirk on yourself?"
"Only a little," Ochako said.
"We'll be fine Uraraka," Izuku said as Pinkie lifted him up.
"Just be careful, we'll need room if we have to run at a moment's notice," Tenya said. "Just make it quick."
"Got it," Kirishima said as Deadpool lifted him up, the boy using his goggles. "Now let's see here, I don't-AH!"
"Keep your voice down!" Deadpool scolded.
"Were you spotted Kirishima!?" Shoto asked.
Kirishima shook his head, panting in fear, "N-no, it's just..." Kirishima turned to Izuku, handing him the goggles. "Check the back left corner, you'll see what I saw."
Izuku grabbed the goggles, checking the room until he spotted what spooked Kirishima. "No way..."
"Hey what's wrong Izuku?" Pinkie asked.
"I...I think those are Nomu..." Izuku said, trembling at the sight of the monsters in tubes, the revelation startling everyone present.
Elsewhere Shigaraki was seen talking to a monitor, having already asked for power from who he calls Master.
"A Master huh? So you're just a sidekick in the end," Bakugo taunted.
"Well you're this 'sidekick's' prisoner mate," Pyro reminded. "And you've worn out your welcome."
"Exactly, now Compress, Kurogiri," Shigarkai gestured to Bakugo. "Put him back to sleep."
"What a poor audience member," Compress stated.
"You want me to listen, then beg me on your knees!" Bakugo again taunted. "Much as I want to blast them away, that warp guy is way too fast. Plus if I start a fire, it might just give that stupid X-Men punching bag an advantage. I gotta think of a way out."
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, "Hello? Anyone order pizza?"
All the villains were confused and speechless, wondering how there would be a pizza guy here. Boom was the first to vocalize her annoyance, "Twice..."
"Hey don't blame me, I didn't order pizza!" Twice shouted in annoyance. "Perhaps it was Pyro."
"As if," Pyro readied his fire as he focused on the door. "Hey mate! We didn't order anything, so-"
Suddenly the wall came down, having been destroyed by All Might, "SMASH!"
"What the!?" Spinner shouted in shock.
"Kurogiri! Gate!" Shigaraki commanded.
Just before anything could happen, Spider-Man rushed in and webbed up the villains present, leaving them stuck and unable to move their arms. Dabi attempted to burn the webs but to no avail. "Dammit!"
Peter landed beside All Might with Gran Torino making his presence known as well. "I suggest you all play nice, before we have to rough you up."
"Villains beware!" All Might said. "You are in the presence of The Friendly Neighborhood Hero from Queens, the man who moves faster than the eye can catch, and the World's Symbol of Peace. We are here!"
"Right after the Press Conference!?" Compress asked. "Did they plan a ruse!?"
"Ew, this web is way too sticky!" Twice said. "Feels nice!"
"One tends to neglect defense when on the offense," came the voice of Edgeshot, the hero appearing from the door, opening it to reveal a special police force. "As you can see, we didn't come alone. There's more police outside, and powerful heroes."
Waiting outside were more police and heroes, including Endeavor standing beside Twilight, Peni, Rainbow Dash, Johnny, Kamui Woods, the two Saiyamen and the detective Tsukauchi.
"Dammit Tsukauchi! Why does Edgeshot get all the glory while I'm stuck here!?" Endeavor angrily asked.
"We need you here in case someone slips out," Tsukauchi explained.
"Are you serious!?" Endeavor shouted, much to the annoyance of the heroes nearby.
"And people say I have a huge ego," Johnny commented. "Just hang tight big boy, you might get to punch someone in the face real soon, and I bet that will make you all smiles and sunshine"
"Keep running your mouth and you'll be the one on the receiving end of my fist," Endeavor warned.
"Let's not fight, we're supposed to be on the same side here," Twilight said, then turned to Kamui. "Hey would you mind going to check on my husband? Make sure he got all the villains."
"Yes ma'am," Kamui said, swinging off inside.
"What the, since when do you make the calls, and why did you send in the newbie!?" Endeavor asked.
"That 'newbie' is one of Japan's fastest rising heroes, and his powers make him the best candidate to make sure the villains are restrained," Twilight said. "A veteran such as yourself should know that each hero's abilities play a crucial role in keeping the world safe."
Endeavor grumbled in annoyance, "Pesky know-it-all."
Peni made a call from within her suit, "Wolverine, Faith, are you two in position?"
"We're a few blocks down south in the most secluded area with a squad, if any of the villains escape through what they consider a back-exit, we'll be quick to apprehend them," Logan said.
Inside All Might focused his attention on Bakugo, "I know you must have been scared, but I commend you for staying strong through all this. You're safe now though young man."
"What the hell!? I wasn't scared at all!" Bakugo shouted.
"Dude, use your inside voice," Peter said. "Also I'm normally not one to ask for gratitude but you could at least be somewhat grateful we're here, All Might was worried sick about you, a lot of people are."
"I had it under control!" Bakugo said.
"...Alright, well even if you did, nothing wrong with a little help, makes life easier," Peter said.
"Of course, all the trouble of preparing this just to get the final boss on my doorstep, joined by the secret bonus boss on top of that," Shigaraki said. "Looks like everyone's been restrained, it can't be helped. So they've got back-up, well we do too." "Kurogiri! Warp over as many as you can!"
"You're talking about the Nomu right?" All Might asked. "Sorry, but that's being dealt with."
Back at the location of the UA kids, Kirishima noticed something strange. "Huh? Something's happening over there."
Nearby Mount Lady had grabbed a car as a make-shift shoe and lifted her leg up to stomp down on the building, causing a massive wind that nearly knocked all the kids back, same with Deadpool and Pinkie Pie.
"Whoa! Damn!" Deadpool shouted.
Back at the bar, Kurogiri could sense that there was trouble, "I'm sorry Tomura Shigaraki, the Nomu were supposed to be a in a fixed location, but they're gone."
"Gone?" Shigaraki asked.
"Seems like you have a lot to learn," All Might said. "You're still green."
"Yeah, you underestimated us heroes, big mistake for rookie crooks," Peter said. "I figured with The Brotherhood here, along with an old friend of mine," Peter smirked at the sight of Scorpion, "Maybe they'd pass down some guidance on how to not be a total loser, but then again, they've always been losers themselves so it can't be helped."
"Always so high and mighty, aren't you Spider-Man!?" Scorpion shouted.
"You didn't just underestimate heroes, you underestimated the soul of young Bakugo," All Might said. "As well as the police's diligent investigation, and our righteous fury."
"Evil always loses dude, a Tale as Old as Time," Peter said.
"Your game is over, Tomura Shigaraki!" All Might declared.
"All Might! Spider-Man! Please stop! You are heroes that Stain respects! You are both worthy!" Spinner said.
"You fools, you think it's over?" Shigaraki asked. "I've only just begun my playthrough. Justice, Peace, such ridiculous ideals have created a garbage society! That's why you're my target All Might! That's why I've gathered people! It's not over! I will defeat you and squash that stupid spider by your side while I'm at it!" Shigaraki turned to his ally. "Kurogiri!"
Suddenly he got pieced by a cable of sorts, freaking out Magne. "Oh my God! Is he dead!?"
"I just knocked him out," Edgeshot said, twirling the cable. "Couldn't let a nuisance like that stay conscious."
"You're all better off not resisting, unless you want to make this worse!" Gran Torino turned to Magne, "Kenji Hikieshi." He turned to Compress, "Atsuyiro Sako." He turned to Spinner, "Shoichi Inguchi." He turned to Toga. "Himiko Toga." He turned to Twice, "Jin Bugayobara." He spoke up again, "The police managed to figure out your true identities despite limited resources, this isn't counting those we knew." He turned to Scorpion, "Such as you Mac Gargan."
"I helped with that last part," Peter chimed in.
"There's nowhere for any of you to run," Gran Torino said.
It was around that time that Kamui Woods made his presence known, "I'm here, Miss Sorceress sent me."
"Oh good, you can do that Chain Prison thing right? Think you can use it to grab these crooks? We'll have them sent to the police," Peter said. "Just be wary of my webbing, it can get really sticky."
"Sure thing Spider-Man," Kamui said, readying his branches.
"Just a second if you will," Gran Torino said. "Tomura Shigaraki, tell me, where is your boss hiding?"
Shigaraki started experiencing a flashback to his childhood, when he was just a boy who had a rough day.
"No one's come to save you, Tenko Shimura," came the voice of a man. "I know what people have said as they ignored you, telling you that the heroes will help, that you'll be fine. The world should not be so unforgiving." The man held his hand out. "You didn't do anything wrong. But I am here for you."
Back in the present, Shigaraki looked even more infuriated, "No, this is not over! The game is still mine!"
"Dude, give it up! You lost!" Peter said. "Now answer Gran Torino's question, cooperate and we'll make it easy for all of you."
"I suggest you listen to Spider-Man," All Might warned.
"Go away, disappear!" Shigaraki shouted.
All Might started losing his temper, "Shigaraki!"
"This is your fault!" Shigaraki seethed in anger as he glared at All Might. "I hate you!"
Just as he said that some monsters started coming through a portal, ones familiar to the heroes present.
"Nomu!? How did they get here!?" Kamui asked.
"Edgeshot! Is that mist guy doing this!?" Peter asked.
"No, he's still out," Edgeshot said. "This isn't his doing!"
Peter looked a bit worried, "This is getting bad." He turned his attention to Kamui, "Grab the villains! Do not let them free once you have them!"
"Yes sir!" Kamui said, using his abilities for the chain prison, grabbing the villains in place.
"You're squeezing me too tight Tree Man!" Twice said. "Harder!"
"Weirdo," Peter turned to Bakugo. "You, stay with me!"
"I don't need your coddling!" Bakugo said.
"This isn't up for debate!" Peter angrily shouted, going to grab Bakugo. Just then some black goop came out of Bakugo's mouth he was teleported away, much to the hero's surprise. "Oh no!"
"Huh?" All Might saw Bakugo and went to help but it was too late, his student was gone. "NO! Bakugo! Dammit!"
"Crap!" Peter looked outside. "Hey we need..."
To his horror, many more Nomu began to show up, the heroes attacking and the police shooting at them.
"Kill them with fire!" Rainbow Dash shouted in disgust.
"Way ahead of you!" Johnny said, burning a chunk of them.
Gohan blasted a few away, "Just five of these things totaled Hosu, if more come then it could annihilate the country!"
"If they spread, that could affect the whole world!" Peni shouted, knocking back some of the Nomu.
"Not if we can help it," Twilight said, using her magic to grab a bunch and throw them while Videl kicked away any that got too close to her.
"We gotta move fast!" Videl commented, going for another kick.
Endeavor punched one Nomu away, "Tsukauchi! Evacuate the area!"
"Impossible, the place should have been locked down!" Tsukauchi grabbed his radio. "Chun-Li, do you copy!?" No answer, the detective grew worried. "Chun-Li!"
All Might, Gran Torino and Spider-Man continued to knock out any Nomu that came at them, hoping to quell the situation.
"Hey All Might, Gran Torino, either of you got a plan?" Peter asked.
"Can't say I do," Gran Tornino said, then turned to All Might. "Any bright ideas?"
"I am not sure, back up came too fast and they should not have been able to warp the Nomu here," All Might said. "Has he made his move?"
Shigaraki seemed relieved when he realized what was happening, "Master..."
A couple of minutes earlier at the Nomu Warehouse, the students along with Deadpool and Pinkie were recovering from the shock of the destroyed building.
"What happened?" Tenya wondered.
"Hey Red Head, Tall Girl, check it out," Deadpool ordered, giving a boost to Kirishima while Pinkie helped Momo.
"See anything?" Shoto asked.
Kirishima looked inside the warehouse, "Yeah, I can see pro heroes. Gang Orca, Mount Lady, Best Jeanist."
"Mr. Tiger is there too," Momo said. "So is Gambit."
"There's one other guy there, brown hair, or is it blond. Looks like he's packing heat," Kirishima said. "I think he's a foreigner."
"I also see a woman with hair buns," Momo said.
"Hm, brown-ish hair guy, girl with hair buns..." Deadpool said. "Hey how big are the girl's thighs?"
"Sir, is that really a question you should be asking?" Kirishima asked.
"Just answer, might help me figure out who she is and who that other guy might be," Deadpool said.
"I'll get a look," Rina said, leaping onto the wall, using her claws to prop herself up. "Hm...yeah, that's her alright. Agent Chun-Li, and that other guy would be Leon Kennedy."
"Who are they?" Kirishima asked.
"Leon is an Agent of the United States Government, who handles Special Ops missions," Rina said. "Chun-Li is an agent of the Chinese Government, specifically Interpol. She's also a UA Alumni, and one of the only pro heroes to also be a cop."
"She was in class with Peter, Dashie and all our other friends," Pinkie said.
"That sounds pretty neat, uh but quirks do they have?" Ochako asked. "Anything strong?"
"Well Chun-Li is one of those Chi control types, she uses it to improve her Kung Fu style. One thing she's known for is how lightning fast her kicks are, with awesome strength to back it up," Rina explained.
"I heard she's also a Legendary Martial Artist who competes in Street Fights," Kirishima said.
"You follow martial artists?" Rina asked.
"Sort of, a lot of them have pretty sick moves," Kirishima said. "Say what about that other guy?"
"He's quirkless to my knowledge, doesn't stop him from heading into danger," Rina said. "He's used to battling against monsters too, ones that would make an average person soil their pants."
"I'm surprised they came all the way to Japan, this must be really big," Pinkie said.
"Looks like it, but I think they neutralized the Nomu," Kirishima said. "It looks like they have things under control, what luck."
Inside Mount Lady looked kind of disgusted to hold a Nomu, "These guys are really gross. You know this was easier than I thought, we should have left this to the police and went with All Might."
"There's a difference between difficulty and importance," Best Jeanist said.
"He's right Mount Lady, it's better to be prepared anyway," Chun-Li said. "Besides, All Might has Spider-Man and Princess Twilight helping him, they're more than enough back-up."
"Does the Number One Hero even need back up?" Came the voice of Leon Kennedy.
"Even Superman has The Justice League, there's strength in numbers," Chun-Li said. "Plus everyone has a talent that can help in different situations."
"Guess you got a point," Leon said, looking over the Nomu. "Feels like I'm in one of Umbrella's labs."
"Riot Squad, search the perimeter," Best Jeanist ordered. "Be on your guard."
"Yes sir," the guards said.
"Hey Tiger, I found Ragdoll!" Remy said, helping the girl out of her pod. He could see she wasn't wearing a lot of clothes, so he took off his coat and wrapped it around her to cover her up. "There you are, mon ami."
Tiger took his teammate in his arms, heartbroken by the sight before him, "Ragdoll my friend, speak to me!"
"She should be fine," Gang Orca said, checking over the girl. "She's breathing at least."
"Even so, look at her!" Tiger said, gesturing to the blank look on her face. "What have they done!?"
"Poor girl," Remy said. Annoying as she was in the forest, he would not wish this upon her. He wouldn't want this to happen to anyone at all. "This won't go unpunished Tiger, we gonna get justice for her and for everyone these people hurt."
"Yes, I know we will," Tiger said. "We have to!"
Outside, Tenya looked rather relieved, "Looks like the heroes were already on top of this! This is excellent."
"Good, now that you know everything will be fine, you should be going home," Pinkie said.
"Of course, this is a much better course of direction for us," Tenya said.
"It even sounds like All Might is elsewhere, chances are Spider-Man is too since we knew he went out," Izuku said. "They might have rescued Kacchan."
"With All Might and Spider-Man on the scene, we don't need to worry," Momo said. "Deadpool, Pinkie Pie, we'll be going back home."
"We'll escort you, just to be safe," Deadpool said.
"Thanks for making the right call, and for placing your trust in the heroes," Pinkie said. "Once your friend comes back, we can throw a party for him!"
"Kacchan doesn't like parties much," Izuku said.
"Pfft, everyone loves parties, and I know how to get even the grumpiest of people to smile," Pinkie said. "Like my sister Limestone. And Cranky Doddle!"
"She even made Cable smile once!" Deadpool added.
"We'll discuss this further later, off we go," Tenya said.
As everyone began making their way back to the station, Izuku stayed behind, an almost nagging feeling holding him back. This did not go unnoticed by his classmates, nor the two pros with them.
Inside the warehouse, a mysterious person had made his presence, "My apologies Tiger, but Ragdoll had a very useful quirk. I could not resist taking it for myself."
"Hey who's there!?" Leon asked, aiming his gun.
"Are you with the League?" Gang Orca asked.
"Someone get us a light!" Tiger ordered.
"My body was mostly destroyed in an unfortunate incident, so I could not stock up on quirks as much as I would have liked," the man said.
"Don't come any closer!" Remy warned, holding out a card.
When the mysterious figure continued, Best Jeanist used his quirk to tighten his clothes, tying him up in place.
"Best Jeanist! That guy could be a civilian!" Mount Lady said.
"You can't hesitate in a situation like this," Chun-Li said. "Besides a civilian wouldn't be in this type of building, especially in the shadows."
"She's right, a moment of hesitation could decide the fight!" Best Jeanist said. "We can't let these villains try anything!"
Suddenly the man began to emit a strange power that resulted in a massive explosion, the shock surprising the students and pros.
"What…just happened?" Izuku asked, that power wasn't anything like he's seen before, but it sounds like a big fight was about to go down, and he along with his team just might get caught in the middle of it.
Not too far off, Mayday's senses were going off the charts, the ringing in her head went nonstop as she felt dread of the oncoming danger. "I gotta get to Izuku, before he gets hurt!"
