Ok we are on a role
Chapter six, start!

Kirishima's PoV
—
I feel like shit. School was awful and I have no clue what any of the material means.
"Hey shitty hair!"
Great, him.
"I told you, my name is Kirishima!"
"Whatever. You looked confused as shit in there."
"You weren't? What even is a hypotenuse?"
"Real fuckin easy."
"Yeah for you. Not everyone learns at the same rate." I started to walk away, I didn't need him insulting me at the moment.
"Then do you need help?"
This made me stop
"I'm sorry, what?"
"Do you need help with math?" Bakugou averted his eyes
"Why would you help me?"
"I am trying to be a nice person. Sorry for bothering you I'll just leave you alone." He started to walk away
"BakuBro wait. I could use some help."
"BakuBro? Seriously?"
"BakuBro, I like it!" Kaminari walked up behind us
"No."
"But come on dude! You gotta hang out with us now! Kiri gave you a nickname." Mina stage whispered the last part.
"No. You guys formed your little group after the first week of school. Leave me out of it."
"Come on Bakubro, hang out with us one time. You may just find you like it." I smiled at him.
Why had he afford to help me with school? He only ever talks to Jirou, and let me tell you, Momo was beside herself in worry. Worry of heterosexuality.
"Fine, one time. We can hang out after the field trip next week."
Right, we were gonna train at the USJ.
Bakugou started to walk away
"He's totally got a thing for you Ei." Mina hit me on the shoulder
"No way, he probably has a thing for you." I hit her back
We eventually started wrestling, sure starting unnecessary fights isn't manly, but it was just play fighting.
"Who knows my man, maybe he'll ask you out." Sero slunk over to me
"Sure thing Serbro." I rolled my eyes, he probably liked Jirou, probably would graduate, marry a nice girl, have a family. Doesn't matter what I feel, I'm too cowardly to do anything.

Midoriya's PoV

"Class 1-A has a field trip next week to the USJ. Mayhem has confirmed that All Might will be there, so that's when we make our move. We send in all of our forces, and we kill All Might.' Shigaraki explained
"That a stupid plan."
"What do you have to say about this Deku?" He glared at me
"Well for one, even though I can feel the power draining from him, he's still a force to be reckoned with. Revealing all of our forces on the first attack would get us nowhere. We need to start off smaller, maybe bring a Nomu, but the fact is if we bring all of our forces out, that's showing our entire deck to the world. Say we fail, what then? The heroes know everything about us and we have nothing up our sleeves." I stood to face him
"Master put me in charge, not you. What I say goes."
"Oh really? That's interesting because, from what I can tell my plan is better. Why don't we ask him which to go with?" I challenged
"Yes, shall we."
We both moved for the door, but before we could get there the TV screen crackled to life.
"Boys stop fighting. It will get you nowhere." My father's voice resounded
"Sorry master."
Suck up.
"Deku is right Tomura. Sending in all of our forces could be a death march," I smirked at my victory, "Deku, Tomura, and Kurogiri will be going. The rest of you can stay here. Our strongest Nomu, and all of the petty criminals we gathered will also accompany them. Through this we will not only conceal our biggest players, but also give you the best chance at success. With Deku there you have someone who can match All Might's power."
My father's words hung in the air, Shouto breathed out a puff of steam. He was upset, why?
"Of course, Master."
With that the TV once again shut off.
"You just always have to one up me, don't you Deku?" Tomura glared at me now, his itch coming back in full.
"Now now Shigaraki. You wouldn't want to get hurt would you? Give me a reason why I should do what you say, when you are so clearly incompetent." I leaned towards him.
"The only one whose gonna get hurt is you, Deku." He grabbed my arm with only four of his fingers.
Before it could escalate any further, another hand grabbed Shigi's wrist.
"Let's all just cool off. Remember who the enemy is. If we all turn on each other, we're as good as dead." Shouto spoke.
"I'm not listening to you Ice-pop. You don't give the orders around here, I do. The only reason you were wanted in the first place is because of your quirk. You don't get a say in the matter."
"Don't talk to him like that." I shoved him
"What? Upset that I'm speaking the truth? Can't handle it?" He grinned
"You want the truth? You're jealous of me. You have been since we found out, because you know that no matter what you do, my father will never love you the way he loves me. It eats you up because no matter what anyone says, we all know the truth. I am his only son, and you are nothing more than a kid he picked off the street."
"Enough. Both of you. We will respect All for One's wishes, and you two will get along until his wish has been fulfilled." Kurogiri stepped between us.
"Fine, I'll do my part, so long as he doesn't get in my way." I walked away, the footsteps following me were probably Shouto's.
I didn't stop until I got upstairs, leaving the door slightly ajar, to allow him to enter.
"Well that was certainly a show." He snorted, steam appearing when he did.
"Yeah well, Captain Crust has had it coming. It's just. How can he be so stupid? He thinks sending our full forces right off the bat would do any sort of good? He's an idiot, and I don't know why my father still intends to make him the next underworld ruler." I flopped face first into my bed
It had been nice, over the last few weeks I had gotten closer to Shouto, and… I got to see my mom again.
She had been furious, sad, and overjoyed all at once.
We finally were together again, a happy family. Of course Tomura wasn't involved, he wasn't allowed to be.
My mother was my mom alone. She was mine, not his, he killed his. I wouldn't let him near her.
She liked Shouto though. We had training together so he came to grab me, and ended up talking to my mother instead.
"Maybe he won't. Maybe, if you kill All Might, and I kill Endeavor, then Shigaraki will have no way to prove himself, he will never be able to take the final step in his initiation. Your father would have to start looking at you more, we already know he favors you. Mayhem provides the information, we rip their hearts from their chests. We become the strongest villain trio in the world, crushing everyone beneath our boots." Shouto sat down next to me
"When did you become a great schemer?" I chuckled looking up at him
"Maybe I've been planning it since the beach."
"That's a pretty long time to be thinking about something."
What does he taste like?
What are his screams like?
My mind was going a mile a minute, and it never slowed. These thoughts had been persistent since the beach.
"Then why don't we put it in motion. I won't be able to help you at the USJ, but you can do it. Crush his internal organs before he even knows what hit him. Stand before him, and tell the world that you are there, and use that to strike fear into the hearts of men—" He leaned closer to me
"So make the same statement as him, but instead of hope, spread despair? You are brilliant, Shouto." I scooted closer
"I mean, if you haven't noticed, my family has a flare for the dramatic." He ran his fingers across my knuckles.
"I noticed, everything about you, is exaggerated."
"Like what?"
"Like how you express yourself, with your brother its burns, with you it's your eyes."
"And what do my eyes tell you, Midoriya?"
"You want to crush hero society just as much as me, that we want the same things."
"All of the same things?"
"Yeah, all of them. Freedom, power, companionship." I whispered the last bit
"Companionship huh? You know your mood changes quite quickly."
"I know,"
"But your right, we do want the same things."
I scooted closer until my leg brushed his, and he leaned closer, ever hesitant.
Just do it
I kissed him.
He kissed back, it was like fireworks exploding in my mind, every moment of happiness from my childhood at once,
Then he pulled away, and I was left with a tingle buzzing in my veins.
"I… I don't know what this is, Midoriya. But I think we should work to make what we want into a reality." He looked straight at me, his dual colored eyes begging for an answer.
"I think we should too. Let's work together to destroy the heroes."
"To destroy everything."

Hawk's PoV

He was hiding something.
Asahi never lied to me before, why would he start now? Was he cheating on me, was he involved in some bad business? He was never home, at least not when I was. That villain I saw, he looked like him, but with scars and dark hair.
I don't like it.
I was looking through his instagram, pictures of food, and us. But what did this actually tell me about him? What did I actually know about him?
You would think that after you dated someone for two years you would know them better.
I sat in the darkness, waiting for him to get home. It was three in the morning, his shift was supposed to end two hours ago.
He's not hurt right? I mean, why else would he—
The door creaked open, and he did his best to walk in as quietly as possible, until I turned the light on.
"Keigo, what are you doing up so late?"
"What are you doing out so late?" I shot back
"I was at work, I picked up some over time." He rubbed the back of his neck, he was sore.
From work, or something else?
"Why didn't you text me?"
"Keigo—"
"No! What are you hiding from me? We have been together for too long for you to start lying to me now!" I shot up, his face contorted into something. I don't know how to describe it, but I didn't like it.
"Please calm down, it's late, can't we talk after we sleep?"
"No, Asahi please. Please just talk to me, I don't know what to think." I grabbed his hand, but there was little warmth there.
For someone whose quirk is to regulate the heat of his body, it was concerning.
"Do you think I'm cheating on you?"
"I don't know—"
"You do, don't you? Jesus fuck Keigo, after everything we have been through, you really think I would cheat on you?"
"We have had no time together, you are always out, always picking up "extra hours", why? Why do you need to keep yourself occupied for that long? Am I boring you that much?"
"You could never bore me, I— shit."
"Asahi, I just-"
"Let me finish," he grabbed both of my hands, "I wanted to do something for you. I wanted you to think that your boyfriend maybe has a soft side, but I guess that backfired." He sighed
"What are you talking about? Asahi you're not making any sense."
"I mean you said it yourself, we've been together for two years, I thought it should be like that for the rest of our lives."
He wasn't talking about
"I was trying to save a little extra money so I could pay for a nice dinner, maybe somewhere the press couldn't get into. So I could ask you to be mine forever."
You've got to be shitting me, here I thought he was cheating on me, or in some sort of trouble.
"You know, last names are a touchy subject with me, I hate mine, so I've never told you. I've always been Asahi to you. But I wouldn't mind if I could take yours." I watched him pull out a tiny gold ring, and I started crying.
"Yeah, I wouldn't mind that either."
"I'm sorry that I made you worry, I'm gonna have a few days off in the upcoming week. So I'll be home for all of that." Asahi grinned
"Alrighty, that'll be nice." I pulled him into a hug
"Now let's get to bed, it's nearly four in the morning."

Bakugou's PoV
—
"Alright students, as you know tomorrow is our field trip. If you have any outstanding, or missing assignments, you will not be allowed to go. Make sure everything is turned in, and the bus will pick you up from the dorms at 8:00 sharp. Anyone who is not in their costume, any one who is late, anyone who causes a hold up, will be running an extra two laps around the facility." glared at all of us.
"You heard him everyone! Let's all be up by 7:15 to ensure we are not late." The class rep announced.
"Alright, class dismissed. Bakugou, see me after everyone leaves."
I stayed in my seat, what could they want with me?
"Alright Bakugou, you're not in trouble, I just wanted to ask you some questions."
"Sure, whatever."
"You were friends with Midoriya Izuku, correct?"
Why was this about the nerd?
"Yeah, he was my childhood friend."
"Was there anyone in his life, who would want gone? Someone who would kidnap him?"
What the fuck is this?
"Deku was never popular, he was quirkless, and that made him a target. Plenty of people hated him."
"We talked to , she mentioned that she hasn't seen her husband in years, as far as you know, is this true?" spoke quietly
"I haven't seen him since I was six, so yeah. As far as I know he hasn't been around. Why? Midoriya is dead. They found the body, they went through with the tests. Why is this still a point of interest?" I glared
"Because All Might thinks he may still be alive."
What the hell. What the Hell!
"Still alive? How? He was quirkless, got kidnapped by villains, and died. I was at his funeral, I saw the body." I started getting angrier
"Calm down."
"If Izuku Midoriya is alive, which I doubt he is, then I don't know where he would be."
"All right kid. There is someone else here to talk to you, but thank you for your cooperation." With that he got up and left, opening the door to a skeleton of a man.
"Thank you Eraser."
"Just get it over with, he's already upset. Don't make it worse."
"Hello Young Bakugou." His voice was eerily familiar
"Who the fuck are you?"
"That's no way for a young hero in training to greet authority, now is it?"
"I don't know who you are, why should I assume you deserve respect?" I bit back
"Very well, walk with me, I believe that after a full day of classes you need to stretch your legs." He smiled
"Alright, sure." I grabbed my bag and slung it over my shoulder.
"Now, how are your studies going?" Skeletor started with pleasantries
"They've been fine. Not too hard."
"Why don't we step inside the teacher's lounge for a moment?"
"Fine, but I expect answers."
I sat down on the couch across from him.
Silence
"Do you know who I am, Young Bakugou?"
"Well, your voice is vaguely familiar, and you keep calling me Young Bakugou, so I think we've met before, but this is the first time I've seen you like this."
"My name is Toshinori Yagi, my hero alias, is All Might."
No fucking way
"Nah, All Might has actual mass to his body, you are a skeleton."
How could this guy be All Might? His clothes hung limply from his skin and bones, sure he was in the familiar yellow suit, but there is no way that this thing could be my hero.
"Young Midoriya did not believe it either, but trust me, I am the symbol of peace."
I watched as he began to inflate, taking the form of the hero I knew, before coughing up blood and returning to the skeletal form.
"What the hell is wrong with you? Is this why you haven't been as active as you used to?"
"Yes, yes it is."
"Why did you say Deku was shocked too? Did he know?"
"Yes, he found out the day that I saved the both of you from that slime villain."
"Is that why he was with you? You were training him, right?"
"Yes, I was training Young Midoriya, to become my successor."
This pissed me off
"How the fuck did you expect someone quirkless like him, to become the next you?" I growled
"Because I was also born quirkless."
No
No fucking way
There is no way in hell thats true
"Bullshit. You have a quirk, you can't just pick up a quirk halfway through life." I spat
"The nature of my quirk, is one of legacy. It has been passed through the generations, gaining power, becoming stronger, it can be passed likes torch to the next holder."
"So you were training Deku to take your quirk, but he got killed."
"Yes, I was training him. But I don't think he's dead." He looked away
"I saw the body, that was my friend at the funeral, not someone else."
"I still feel him. Right before he was taken, I began the power transfer. He was on his way to take the enterence exam when the villains grabbed him. But you knew that much."
"Yeah, he never showed up, the next minute I'm holding his mom as she cries over her dead son."
"Bodies can be faked. Trust me on that one." His eyes implied something of a tragedy
"Alright, so why haven't we heard anything? That was months ago. He would've tried to break out by now,"
"I think they are trying to turn him into a weapon. The man who I believe kidnapped him, is one you will never hear about, he's the reason I'm in this condition."
"So instead of Deku dying, he's going to be used to wreak havoc."
Why were they telling me this? Why couldn't they just keep me in the dark?
"I'm afraid so."
"Why tell me? What do I have to do with this?"
"If there is anything he said, anything may have mentioned before he went missing. Something out of the ordinary."
"Nothing, he just kept scribbling in his notebook."
"Thank you. If we do find him, and find him alive, we may ask you to talk to him. Wouldn't seeing the face of your childhood friend snap you out of something?"
With that he left
Childhood friend, right.
Thats what everyone thinks I am. Not a tormentor, not a bully. Not someone who he should hate.
They wanted me to help save him?
I hope he's dead, because that's too big of a burden.
If I can't, then it's on me, it would be my fault. My fault that Auntie Inko will never see her son again.
My fault.

Mayhem's PoV

Finally some fuckin peace and quite.
I was so tired of everyone here. A month at school and I couldn't do it.
If I had to listen to another friendship speech, or draw a smiley face on my head I would personally smash every single one of their heads in.
I was getting nowhere with Bakugou. Hell if anything it was getting harder to get him alone. The group of imbeciles closing in on him. The teachers keeping him after class, things were getting complicated.
Maybe I should find someone else to mess with.
"But would that still be fun?"
A muffled buzz came from below.
Right, I needed to check in.
"Hey D, what's up? How's mom?" I answered, if anyone was listening in I didn't want them hearing the truth.
"I kissed Shouto, that's what's up." Izuku's voice came through clear as day, but I'm sure I misheard
"Can you repeat that, it sounded like—"
"I kissed Shouto Todoroki, his lips, on mine, fireworks. Bro he tastes like cinnamon, how is that possible?"
"Well good for you. Proud of you dude."
He was going to start spending more time with him, even when I was there, even when I get back, it wouldn't be the same.
"May, you listening?" My best friend brought me back to reality
"Sorry, spaced for a minute, but anyway I thought big bro was supposed to call me, not you."
"Right, well. The thing is I'm going to overthrow him, and I'm gonna need your help."
This would end well.
"What, you and your boyfriend are gonna take over the world?"
"And you, if you're interested. Come on Mayhem, you just as I do, Shigaraki is an idiot who will run the League into the ground. If my father makes him the successor then all is lost."
"I mean I guess you have a point."
I rubbed the back o f my neck, this was getting complicated.
Why couldn't we just stick to the plan, and then work on betrayal.
I was just tired.
"Alright, well what time will you guys be at the USJ?"
"We are leaving for the field trip at 8:15, the facility is across the campus so we won't be too long. We'll probably be there around 9:00."
"Alrighty, see you in the morning May, and if things go well, you can catch a ride with Kurogiri outta there."
"Thank the gods, see you then."
I shut off the phone, and stashed it in my emergency go-bag. If things went south I needed all of my materials in one place.
Twelve hours until I get the hell out of here.
—
What? Three chapters in two days?
Truth is I have a massive paper due Friday and I am putting it off, but I always manage to pull through.
For example, I wrote it in a few hours and it's nine pages single spaced, the one I have to write is four to six pages, double spaced, also this font is smaller.
Anyway! Next chapter is the USJ attack, and I will get that out as soon as possible!
However I am working on another story that is set to release on 4/20
Why? Because it's my favorite holiday.
See you all next chapter!
