As much as he hated to admit it, Midoriya was beginning to like Mina Ashido. A lot. That night he couldn't even concentrate on breaking into the school records to get the schedule, so he decided he would ring up Shigaraki for a favor.

The next day, there were many reporters outside the school wanting a scoop on All Might. They were wanting to know if the rumors were true and that All Might was teaching the new crop of wannabe heroes.

Midoriya had been swarmed that morning as well as all of his classmates before the security system that the school had set up stopped the reporters from entering the grounds. Just before Midoriya got swept up by the sea of students, he turned to see a familiar face in the crowd. Shigaraki had answered his plea, which made him grin.

The previous night, as he was so embarrassingly love struck that he couldn't concentrate on anything, he had phoned up Shigaraki and asked him to cause a distraction outside the school. His prayers were answered when on his way to class, the security alarm went off. He looked out the window to see that the front gate was now a pile of dust.

The security alarm going off meant that a person or a group of people that didn't have a pass had gotten onto the ground. Avoiding the cluster of students coming out of the classrooms. Midoriya headed the opposite direction from everyone else and got to the records room.

Once inside, Midoriya got on a computer, quickly hacked into it, and pulled up the schedule. As he didn't have time to print it off he took out his phone and snapped a picture with it, before sending it off to Kurogiri, saying that that's all the info he could get for now. He then logged back off the computer and left the room, quickly catching up to the rest of the student body.

The only thing on the schedule for class 1-A was a trip that Friday to the Unforeseen Simulation Joint or as the school called it, the USJ. Midoriya had never actually heard of this place before but apparently Kurogiri had and knew exactly where it was.

No one had told Midoriya the plan they were hatching for the attack on the USJ. He would just have to be prepared for when it happened. They did, however, want a list of all his classmates and their quirks. It only took him a day to obtain those and hand them over to All for One.

Midoriya had also been spending his lunchtimes with Mina and they were beginning to grow close. He realized that he wanted to keep her safe from the attack on the USJ that Friday. He felt bad for doing this, but he put a special pill that Kurogiri had made for him in her drink which had forced her to go home as she was throwing up constantly.

She hadn't turned up for school on Friday so Midoriya knew that he was in the clear. Packing away his things after sitting alone at lunch, he then went to get ready for the trip to the USJ. On the way, he kept his distance from everyone else and stayed within his own thoughts.

When the class reached the USJ, they met the hero No. 13, who told them what it means to be a rescue hero, and that today the class were going to be rescue heroes as well. Everyone seemed to be really excited, while Midoriya felt a little annoyed that he would have to save people. Then he realized how hypocritical he sounded considering he had saved Mina from the villain's planned attack not even twenty four hours beforehand.

Once the briefing was over, Aizawa was getting ready to split people into groups, when a giant cloud of purple smoke began filling the plaza area. This was it, the attack was happening now. Midoriya readied himself, knowing full well to keep his cover he would have to fight. Out of the smoke came many, many people. Midoriya estimated at least eighty people, but they all just looked like random street thugs, not villains.

Finally, out came Shigaraki, closely followed by a very large bird type monster. Midoriya had never seen this thing before, but it looked terrifying. Shigaraki looked up at everybody at the top of the stairs, even meeting Midoriya's eyes for a few seconds. He couldn't make out Shigaraki's expression because of the hand covering his face but he could tell that Shigaraki was smiling.

After a few moments, he spoke. 'I was expecting to see All Might here. Would any of you mind telling me where he is?'

There was no vocal response from anybody, both Bakugo and Todoroki made a move toward the villains before Aizawa pulled them back, then jumped down into the middle of the group of 'villains'. 'Hate to be the bearer of bad news' he said, putting on his yellow goggles. 'But All Might isn't here, which means that you have to deal with me instead.'

As he finished speaking he flung his scarf out and wrapped it around one of the thugs, and started swinging him around, knocking over several others in the process, before tossing him away and continuing his assault on them.

Whilst Aizawa was down there fighting, No. 13 was preparing them to be able to defend themselves. They said that someone is going to have to go and get help. Everyone immediately turned to Iida, being the fastest in the class with the boosters on his calves. He was reluctant to leave his fellow classmates in danger at first before finally giving in and running towards the door, only to be met by the purple smoke that brought all of the villains there in the first place, blocking his way.

'Greetings to all of you' the cloud of smoke said. 'Unfortunately for you all, my associates and I were hoping to see All Might here, so that automatically puts you all in more danger. I wish it was another way but nothing can be done about that now. Anyway, I cannot let you leave young man. In fact, it is my duty today to split you all up.'

After his little monologue, the smoke began to expand, covering the entire area. When it eventually cleared, there were only a few people left, including No. 13 who was more than prepared to go on the attack. They turned to Iida, signalling him to get ready to run, before opening the caps on their fingers and activating their quirk Black Hole. Allowing them to act as a literal black hole and using powerful vacuums in their fingers to get rid of disasters such as tornadoes or even tsunami' this case, they were using Black Hole to try and vacuum up the smoke.

They were succeeding as well, until a portal opened up behind No. 13, causing them to rip themselves apart by their own doing, before collapsing to the ground. But because Kurogiri was distracted with No. 13, he had completely forgotten about Iida who had slipped out a few seconds ago.

Infuriated with himself, he sent everyone else who was there into the middle of the plaza and the fight between the thugs and Aizawa, causing him to then be overpowered and outnumbered by the remainder of the thugs still standing. They began kicking him whilst he was lying on the ground and some of the others went after the kids.

'Shigaraki, one of them managed to get out. I was unable to stop him but No. 13 has been put out of commission' Kurogiri said as he appeared next to Shigaraki.

'That's fine, maybe he'll go and get All Might. Until then' Shigaraki paused, turning to the bird like creature. 'Nomu, do me a favor and deal with Eraserhead.'

Immediately the Nomu as Shigaraki had called it, pounced on Aizawa and began bashing his face into the ground. With a pool of blood forming around the heroes head, Nomu continued going. Aizawa eventually stopped struggling and lay limp on the ground.

'Finally' Shigaraki proclaimed. 'He was beginning to really annoy me.'

With both the pro heroes down and out, they could now focus on their main goal, drawing out All Might. As if on cue though, the doors to the entrance burst open and in came the man of the hour, All Might.

And for the first time for Midoriya, who unbeknownst to anybody other than Shigaraki and Kurogiri was hanging around behind a tree watching the whole thing, had seen All Might genuinely angry. He wasn't smiling like he normally did. He wasn't here to play around, he was here for a fight.

By this point, more and more of the students had found their way back to the plaza from where they had been sent to by Kurogiri, including Todoroki who immediately noticed upon reaching the plaza, that Midoriya was lurking behind a tree near where the villains were.

'FEAR NOT STUDENTS! YOU WILL ALL BE SAFE NOW! BECAUSE I AM HERE!' All Might yelled from the top of the stairs. 'EVERYONE TAKE MR AIZAWA AND NO. 13 AND GET TO SAFETY!'

After saying this he jumped down into the plaza, landing right in front of the Nomu. Not even a second later the Nomu was sent flying across the plaza after All Might punched it. This started an all out brawl between the two and the toll that the battle was taking on All Might was beginning to show. Just then, Midoriya remembered something he learned a long time ago, All Might's weakness. He knew he had to tell Shigaraki somehow, but he didn't know how.

He snapped a branch which made Shigaraki turn to him, then made a signal for him to come over. Shigaraki picked up on this before running forward and wrapping four fingers around his throat to make it look like he was attacking Midoriya. 'What is it? I'm kind of in the middle of something here' he hissed, keeping his voice low so only Midoriya could hear it.

'All Might has a weakness. The left side of his abdomen. If you attack it enough he should be beaten' was all Midoriya said before 'struggling' out of Shigaraki's grasp and making a run for it.

Todoroki, who had been watching the whole thing unfold, was beginning to get curious. How had Midoriya managed to get out of that villain's hold so easily? He would have to think about it later. Right now, he had to figure out a way to help All Might without getting in the heroes way. His ears perked up when he heard the hand villain speak again though. 'Kurogiri, I've got a new plan.'

Kurogiri? Where had he heard that before? His eyes widened in realization. Midoriya. About a year ago he had met Midoriya in the park. He had heard Midoriya call out that name whilst running from a stunned Todoroki. Midoriya was working for the villains. He had to let everybody know. Just as he was about to call it out, a gunshot was heard, then a cry of pain.

Shigaraki now had a hole in his left hand, courtesy of the arrival of the other staff members of Yuuei here to the rescue. 'Crap!' Shigaraki shouted. 'Kurogiri, we need to go now. It's game over. Take the kid with us as well, we need to deal with him back at the base.'

Then, as quickly as they came, they were gone, along with Midoriya. 'YOUNG MIDORIYA!' All Might shouted. He hobbled over to where Midoriya stood just a few seconds before.

'You don't need to be worried about him, All Might' Todoroki spoke up. 'He's been working for them this whole time.'

To say that everyone was shocked would be an understatement. After all, one of the least likely people had been outed as a villain this whole time.

Woah, two chapters in one day? I just want to get this one finished so I can move on to the next story in the trilogy. Not that I don't like this story, it's just that I have really big plans for the sequel and I want to have it started as soon as possible so there is a good chance I will have the next chapter out within the next twelve to fourteen hours after the release of this one.

We are also nearing 4k reads at the time of me writing this and also almost at 250 votes, so here I am again thanking you all for everything. I hope that you have enjoyed this story a lot and will enjoy the last few chapters of it before I move on to the sequel.

Be back soon
