11. SMILE
Entrance Way
The students gasped at what happened next. Smoke burst from the bunny boy's notepad, covering the boy and eventually revealing- The students quickly turned to Uraraka. Uraraka had her eyes wide and in shock- in disbelief- because there, where the green boy once was, stood another Uraraka Ochako.
"What?" they exclaimed, "Uraraka-san?" Eyes were turned to their own Uraraka.
The fake Uraraka smiled. "I'm Uraraka Ochako, nice to meet you!" she- he said, a sweet, kind smile very unlike a villain's, a cheerful tone in his voice. His voice was pitched slightly higher to sound like a girl's, but it slightly differed from the actual Uraraka's voice. Voice aside, he had gotten Uraraka's personality down pat.
"A transformation Quirk!" Iida realized, "He can change his appearance!"
"Oh, no, everyone!" fake Uraraka feigned surprise and fear. He flinched away from Kurogiri, stepping back from Kurogiri and turned towards the door. "I have to go call All Might right away!" he said, running off.
"Huh?" Ashido Mina was so confused- what's going on? He's going to go call All might? Wouldn't that be an advantage for them?
"Wait!" Satou realized, "He's going to UA!" he said, "He's gonna pose as Uraraka and attack the teachers from behind!"
At the door, fake Uraraka turned back and gave everyone a cheeky simper. "Bye-bye!"

Mineta Minoru
At some point when he ran and ran and ran, he had reached an open space. Just when he was about to wail in panic and despair, he realized no one was near catching him. "Huh?" he asked them.
"I can't move!" one villain yelled in irritation, "What the hell!"
"These purple things! They're stuck on my feet and-"
"That's his quirk! Didn't you hear from Deku-san!" another retorted, "They can stick to anything and won't come off!"
"Holy shit! They're all over the place!"
"I stepped on one, dammit!"
"He's so close, but I can't reach him!"
What luck! Mineta rejoiced. All those purple balls he had been throwing had ended up all around him and attached to the villains, effectively stopping their movements and now they were all stuck in place, none near enough to reach where Mineta was. He cried tears of joy. His head was bleeding now, a thing he hadn't noticed as he was so scared while plucking the grapes off his head-
But now's not the time. He gotta run outta here, away from these villains. He could round the park and get through the exit, avoiding the plaza where Aizawa-sensei was fighting villains.

Bakugou Katsuki, Kirishima Eijirou and Kaminari Denki.
"Don't go near the water." Kirishima warned, "We're pretty far off from where we started, but might still get electrocuted."
"I KNOW, do I look like a moron to you?" Bakugou groans. They were now out of the Flood Zone, after traveling a distance on narrow walkways.
Kaminari Denki lay, charcoal-ed and half dead, lying limp at Kirishima back. One of his hands were in a thumbs up, and he was half-consciously mumbling, "o-ka..y, I'm, o-ka-y..."
"Let's continue along the water slide." Kirishima said, "We gotta avoid the plaza and head straight outta here back to school." He said. They had to let the teachers know of the attack. These enemies weren't opponents they could handle easily, after all. Even escaping the Flood Zone was difficult. Only an idiot like Bakugou can pull this kinda shit off. Kaminari's gonna be traumatized, man!
"No," Bakugou growled, "I'm heading back to the plaza." he grits his teeth as small sparks flew off his fingers, "that fucking bunny pisses me off to no end! I needa teach that thing a fucking lesson!"

Asui Tsuyu
Asui was first to be shot out of that Conflagration building. She used her tongue to maneuver through the air and she landed in the water. She swam the rest of the way towards the entrance, knowing that there were students there as well.
An impulse struck her as she drifted a little more towards the Center Plaza, where Aizawa-sensei was fending off countless villains. Perhaps she could aid in defeating one or two or them. After all, there were too many villains and they all had quirks Aizawa couldn't erase. His physical capabilities had limits too.

Entrance way
"Stop him!" Thirteen said, unleashing a black hole from his finger. That simple attempt was completely useless, as Kurogiri's warp gate quickly turned Thirteen's vortex against himself. The space suit was instantly disintegrated, the large back portion of the hero crumbling into dust.
"Thirteen!" the students exclaimed. Thirteen- a pro hero- so easily defeated? But they had no time to wallow in that crushing despair. "IIDA! GO!" Satou yelled, "That fake Uraraka can't beat you in speed! Reach school before him and turn the tables!"
Iida tuts. Thirteen-sensei- no, he didn't want to leave them all behind and run out while they fought for their lives. But he had no other choice, nor any time to contemplate his conflicting emotions. Firing up his engine, he cursed as he began zooming away.
Kurogiri swarms his path, stopping his advance. "I'm afraid that would be a problem," he says.
Mezou Shouji leaps in for a save. he contains Kurogiri in those arms of him, effectively holding the mist back for a fraction of a second. That was enough for engine to dash past, towards the door. Kurogiri hot on his heels, he was a distance from the door.
At this point, fake Uraraka had noticed the noise and looked back. "Girigiri?"
Kurogiri's advance was halted by real Uraraka. "Look at that, guys!" she exclaimed, pointing at Kurogiri's metal gear, "If he's got that on-" she grabs it before Kurogiri can dodge, applying her quirk, "He's gotta have a real body in there somewhere!" She flings him high into the air and out of Iida's way, "GO, IIDA!"
Fake Uraraka stops as well, his limbs stuck in place against his will. He looked down and realized that his left hand and left foot were stuck to a weird purple blob- and he was firmly attached to the ground now, unable to budge an inch. This is...Mineta Minoru's quirk?
"HAH! You're trapped now too!" he heard the kid's voice from the side, hiding by the bush. He looked absolutely fearful, but proud of his achievement. Sero Handa attaches his Tape to Kurogiri's real body, dragging him further into the air and away from them all.
At that moment, Iida Tenya pries the door open with some effort, and takes the fateful step out of USJ. The moment Iida runs out, he catches sight of fake Uraraka's face, and his eyes widened in mortification.
A bright, beaming, elated smile graced fake Uraraka's face.
The face only fueling his desperation, Iida ran off faster towards school.
"My, my!" Deku's voice only showed that he was getting happier and happier, his fake Uraraka face grinning in lunatical, crazed and maniacal delight. "I'm so happy, I'm so happy! This is so fun! I'm being outsmarted!"
The realization seemed to sink in like bricks for the students. This guy had gone mad. They didn't even want to think about what made this child that way. After all, he was a villain and villains' actions never made sense. But, this child was young. He was their age.
Another burst of white smoke, and the bunny boy was now again, bunny boy. Along with the change in clothes, the purple blobs lost their grasp on him.
But for a moment, for the fraction of a moment, they all saw. When he had changed back, the hood of his hoodie was down and his mask was not on. They saw Bunny Boy's face, clearly.
Uraraka would call this boy plain, but in that simple way he looked cute and innocent. Frizzly green hair, dark green eyes, and a line of freckles across his face. His smile was sweet and joyful, but it did not reach his eyes at all.
Why is this boy even a villain?
He pulled his hood back on but left his mask around his neck. "I'm not gonna go to UA anymore!" he tells them, as if a reassurance for the students. He waved "Bye-bye!" and he was engulfed by the black mist.

Center Plaza
Asui Tsuyu watches, frozen in anguish at her teacher's defeat. Blood pooled around her teacher as the blue monster mercilessly smashed his face into cement. She was having second thoughts now. She should run while she had the chance.
The black mist emerges beside the villain with hands all over his body. They begin talking. Why was this villain here? What happened to the students up there?
"Owww, that's gotta hurt real bad!"
Asui flinches. Right beside her, sitting down with his legs crossed, looking at the battle too, was the bunny boy. He had his chin on his hands, lazing casually and bored. He looks at Asui, wearing a friendly smile.
"Are you worried about him?" he asks. "Me too, actually. I love heroes, after all!"
Huh? Asui was plain confused. What was this villain saying? He was the villain here. He loves heroes? That was many forms of ridiculous. Why is he hitting up a casual conversation with her, when she could quickly attack him right now? Is this to distract her attention?
And just at that moment, she realized something.
Shigaraki Tomura's hand was an inch from her face.
