Chapter 29: Return of The Super Saiyan!

Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight.

The Villains had won…

That was the thought that was currently going through the head of one, Momo Yaoyorozu. The Vice President of Class 1-A. She currently had on a hospital gown with with her forehead bandaged up. She had suffered a devastating blow to the head during the Villain attack on the camp. After distributing many gask masks to various students, she and Awase, a Class 1-B student, had run into a Nomu. Naturally, Momo began to get flashbacks to the USJ incident. But she did her best to calm down and focus on the enemy that was in front of her. She was way stronger than back at the USJ, and was confident in her abilities at taking down the Nomu. While she was right, thinking she was far stronger, she still underestimated the power of the Nomu and got hit by a surprise attack to the head.

Due to the force and shock of the blow, Momo was temporarily out of commission, which forced Awase to carry her to safety. Right as the Nomu was going to land another attack on the duo, it suddenly turned around and started moving in the other direction.

When Momo noticed this, she assumed the worst. The Villains had completed their objective and must have captured one of their targets. She then thought hard on what would be the smartest action at that moment. She thought to herself, "What would Izuku-kun do?."

She then created a small round device and ordered Awase to use his Quirk and slap it on the Nomu's back, without getting detected. The Class B was able to successfully carry out the request. Momo sighed in relief as they now had a back up if the worst had indeed happened.

When they got back to camp, they were informed of what had happened…

Vlad King was able to call emergency services. Not too long after the Villains left, ambulances and firefighters arrived.

Of the 40 students, 15 were unconscious and in serious condition due to the gas. Eleven others were injured. Thirteen were unharmed, physically.

And… two of the students were captured.

One of the six Pro Heroes, Pixie Bob, was in serious condition because of a blow to the head. Ragdoll was missing, but it was apparent that she'd lost a lot of blood.

Meanwhile on the Villains' side, three were caught and arrested. The other attackers managed to disappear without a trace thanks to the warp Villain, Kurogiri.

The Summer Training Camp that they all had been looking forward to couldn't have been more of a disaster.

Momo grimaced as she thought about everything that has happened as a result of the Villain Attack. Of course, U.A. was facing high amounts of scrutiny from the media. They had allowed the League of Villains to attack their premises yet again. And it was even worse than last time. This time they had captured not one, but two students from the Hero Course. The illustrious school was getting a lot of flak for this scandal. Their security and trustworthiness was called into question. How could parents of these children allow their kids to go to an institution that didn't even guarantee their own safety?

It also didn't help the fact of who was captured. Izuku Midoriya and Katsuki Bakugo. Two of U.A.'s best prospects. These two students had shown the most potential out of the new batch of First Years and had definitely made a name for themselves in the Hero World. It is no wonder why the League had gone after specifically them. They knew the kind of uproar it would cause if two of the more popular Hero Prodigies were taken directly by the League of Villains. They had premeditated this for quite some time now. This is a plan you don't just concoct over night. No, it took a lot of meticulous planning.

And Momo Yaoyorozu understood that probably more than anybody in her class.

Class 1-A and even Class 1-B, felt guilty. Guilty that they could not protect and defend their fellow peers and Heroes in training. Izuku and Katsuki were their friends, and those two were without a doubt, the most inspirational students in their grade. Their personalities, charisma, and work ethic drives them to train and work even harder than before. How could they let this happen?

'I… I'm too weak. I am pathetic. And because of my weakness, Izuku-kun and Katsuki are now at the mercy of the League of Villains! Who knows what pain they could be forced to endure right about now?!'

Momo silently berated herself as she gripped the hospital bedsheets. She feels the most responsible for this. She was the Vice rep of the Class. After Izuku, she was in charge of the safety of her classmates. She did her best to keep everyone safe. But if she had not been so careless and allowed to get caught off guard by the Nomu, she may have been able to do more. If she had taken care of the Nomu in quick fashion, like she should have, then maybe she would have caught up with Deku's group and supported them. If she had been there, maybe that would have made all of the difference that would have forced the Villains to retreat and not allow them to take both Izuku and Katsuki.

She had heard of the injuries that Izuku sustained during the Villain attack. Both of his arms were broken and he was so tired that he could have passed out any second. But he still kept on pushing. He still kept on fighting for the sake of his classmates. He wanted to protect and save them all. He wasn't going to allow the Villains to take neither Katsuki or him without a fight. He fought until the very end, and unfortunately, he had lost so much strength, that the League was able to capture them both.

This made Izuku even more admirable in her eyes. He could have taken a break and not fought at all after breaking his arms. He could have ran away. But he only surged forward with his Golden Resolve.

She heard from her classmates talking about how Izuku had a new golden form. They noted that it made him look even cooler, but he also had a scary aura and he didn't seem like himself. Momo had wished she was there to witness such a state. Maybe she could have helped Izuku calm down. But alas, they all had gotten separated at the beginning of the attack.

Although she was very worried for her Green-Haired crush and explosive classmate, she couldn't imagine how their families must be feeling right now. They were the ones that were the most directly affected by this. Masaru and Mitsuki Bakugo were deeply worried and anxious about the whole situation. They didn't expect for their son and his friend to get kidnapped during their Summer Camp. The Bakugos had consoled Inko, who cried buckets after hearing the news. She almost had a heart attack when she first found out but her best friend, Mistuki quickly calmed her down saying that their boys were very tough and that they would take care of each other. The U.A. staff had ensured both families that they were working day and night to locate Izuku and Katsuki and save them. Inko had managed to get in contact with her husband Hisashi, and she let him know of what was going on. He told her not to worry as everything would be okay. Their son was too strong to not survive against this. He promised to keep in touch as he was currently busy with his job overseas.

U.A. immediately had a meeting the next day to discuss what their next plan of action was. They had to do something quick or else they would fall even more scrutiny. All Might was irate when he heard that his Successor was taken captive by the League. He blamed himself since as his students were fighting for their lives, he was relaxing at home taking a nice hot bath. He promised to find the League as soon as possible and save the two students. Letting them get kidnapped are his and all of the staff at U.A.'s greatest failure as 've taken Midoriya, Bakugo, and society's faith in Heroes.

If either of the two ends up joining the side of the Villains… that will be the end of U.A. as a school.

During the meeting, Present Mic brought up something that the staff never hoped they would had to consider…

There is a traitor among them.

Only the teachers and the pussycats knew where the training camp would be. Not even the families of the students knew where the location of the training camp was. That means that somebody form the inside had to have leaked the info to the Villains. It could have been a student, a teacher, or even the principal himself. There was no 100% guarantee that anybody was innocent.

While that was being discussed, All Might had gotten a phone call from his good friend Tsukauchi. He told the Symbol of Peace that they found a lead on where the League of Villains was hiding. They were scheduling a rescue mission with many Pro Heroes. And All Might couldn't wait to beat the bastards down who would dare hurt his dear students.

Momo thought back to the conversation she had with the Symbol of Peace, the day she woke up from her head injury.

"With the assistance of Awase from Class B, I attached a tracking device to one of the Villains. This is the Creation that will receive that signal. I hope it helps your search."

Momo handed All Might the device. All MIght grinned in approval.

"Previously Aizawa said you lacked the self-confidence and judgment needed to make quick decisions. Well, look how much you've grown! You have our thanks, Yaoyorozu."

Momo nodded in thanks, "With two of our classmates still in danger, it's frustrating that I can't help you more than this. I still blame myself for being powerless against the Villains and not saving our classmates. I hate it."

"That painful feeling is proof that you are worthy of being a Hero. Please don't worry. You can leave the rest to us!"

Not too long after that exchange, somebody else had visited her. Somebody she did not expect at all…

"T-Todoroki? What are you doing here?" Momo asked incredulously. While she was happy to see one of her classmates was doing fine, she didn't expect the usually reserved student to visit her, especially alone.

"Hello, Yaoyorozu, I see you are doing well. I came here to talk to you about something very important." The Bi-colored teen replied coolly

"O-Okay… what is it?" She didn't know what the son of Endeavor needed from her, but from his expression alone, she could tell that it was serious.

"I heard your conversation with All Might and that detective earlier. So you know where Izuku and Katsuki are being held or at least you have a way of leading us to them. Is that correct?"

Momo slowly nodded, "Yes… But why are you bringing this up?"

Shoto sighed, "Well… before he and Katsuki went through the portal with the League of Villains, Izuku told me something. He trusted me with a favor…"

Momo widened her eyes, "A favor?"

"Yes… he asked me…."

Shoto proceeded to tell Momo what Izuku told him right before he jumped through the portal. After he finished, Momo gasped in shock.

"You can't be serious! You're joking right?!"

Shoto nodded, "I'm dead serious. I know I told him the same thing too. I said that it was suicidal. But if I've learned anything, is that Izuku Midoriya would never do something stupid without a reason. I believe he entrusted me with this plan for a purpose. He's trying to protect all of us. If not, then he wouldn't have gone through such great lengths that he went through during the training camp. I saw him. Those injuries were no joke. He could possibly die if he doesn't get treated. And yet, he sacrificed it all for the sake of his friend."

Shoto stared at Momo dead in the eyes, a look of almost desperation.

"Izuku saved me from my own darkness. Without him, I would still be suffering inside. He has helped all of us with our problems and put his own neck on the line for us. The LEAST I can do is return that favor. He is my classmate, my peer, my comrade, and my friend. I'm not going to let his sacrifice be in vain. So please Yaoyorozu, help us save him."

Momo frowned as she remembered her conversation with Shoto. Shortly after, he had gathered the whole class in her hospital room to talk about the issue.

"This means you're going to have Yaoyorozu make another reciever for you, doesn't it?" Tenya exclaimed at Todoroki.

"And what if it does?" The son of Endeavor replied back with his eyes narrowed.

Tenya grit his teeth, "Damn it, SHOTO! Did you not learn your lesson back at Hosu?! You should listen to what All Might said! We have to leave this to the professionals! It is NOT the right time for us to get involved! IDIOTS!"

Kirishima then decided to speak up, "Maybe, but all I know… is that at camp, I couldn't do anything. I heard that two of our friends were targeted, and I just stood by. Helpless. So, if I stand by and do nothing now, how am I supposed to call myself a Hero or a man?"

"Kirishima, calm down man! We are in a hospital! There's a better time and place for this, dude." Kaminari exclaimed.

"Yeah, and what Iida said is true." Tsuyu added.

The rest of the class looked unsure. They wanted to go and help their friends, but they didn't want to have to break the rules in order to do so. UA was getting enough backlash already as it is. Now imagine if even more students got hurt. It would be the end of everything.

Kirishima gripped his fists as he gazed at all of his classmates, "All of you. Just listen to me for a minute. I know what you're saying is right. BUT STILL! Come on, Yaoyorozu. They are still within your reach. We can save Midoriya and Bakugo!"

Momo looked down at her hands. She opened and closed them repeatedly thinking, 'Can I really reach him? Can I really save him? Can I save Izuku-kun?'

Mina then spoke up, "So let me get this straight. "You're going to get Momo to make you another receiver, track the bad guys and then try to save Izu and Bakugo all by yourselves?"

Kirishima nodded, "Yeah, that's the plan, Mina."

"The Villains who attacked the camp planned to kill some of us. But they took Izuku and Katsuki alive. What we don't know is how long they'll let them live. That's why we are going after them." Shoto said as that last part made them all think on what the Villains could be doing to their classmates this very moment.

Iida rubbed his temples, "Oh my God… Have the two of you lost your minds?!"

Shoji put his arm in front of Tenya, "Hey calm down. I get how frustrated Kirishima is. And how Todoroki feels since he was there when they got taken. I'm upset, too. But… We can't let out emotions get the best of us. Right?"

Kirishima looked down as he thought about what Shoji said. This gave Aoyama the time to give his two cents in.

"Um. We should just leave this to All Might. Mr. Aizawa only gave us permission to fight and use Quirks at the training camp."

"Aoyama is correct. Though, I'm part of the reason we failed. So I can't talk." Tpkoyami added as he still felt guilty for losing control of Dark Shadow and allowing him to go on a rampage.

Kirishima was getting annoyed, "You guys!"

"Listen. We're all shocked that Bakugo and Midoriya was taken from us. But we have to be rational. It doesn't matter how noble your intentions. If you go out there trying to find the bad guys, knowing you're breaking the rules, then you're acting like Villains, not Heroes." Tsuyu reminded her classmates that what they plan on doing was against the rules. If they were to actually go through with it, they could get in BIG trouble.

All of them stayed silent as they processed all of the information. Most of the Class were not comfortable enough to go through with this, but they still felt a little guilty for not helping out.

Just then, a doctor came in and asked all of them to get out so they could check up on Momo's head injury. As the members of Class 1-A were filling out the room, Kirishima stayed back to let Momo know of one more thing.

"By the way, Todoroki filled me in on what Midoriya told him right before he went through the portal. It just made me want to go save him even more. If we're doing this, it's tonight. Look, I know you still suffered through a serious head injury and you may be suffering from some trauma. So I don't know if you would be willing to go. But I wanted to invite you since you're the Vice President, and Midoriya would probably trust in you enough to stand up for the rest of us. We'll meet in front of the hospital after dark." Kirishima then walked away. Shoto stayed behind to say one more thing to Momo as well.

"If you're still unsure about what you're going to do, then let me just put it to you like this. If the roles were reserved, and you had been captured along with Bakugo instead of Izuku. I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that he would do everything in his power to go save you even with his injuries. He's done so much for all of us. I think it's time to return the favor. Just some food for thought."

Shoto then exited the room, leaving Momo in her thoughts as her doctor checked up on her head.

It was almost time. The sun was setting, and they had agreed on after dark. Momo specifically thought back to the last words Shoto said to her.

"If the roles were reversed…."

Momo whispered as he had been repeating those words all day. She kept thinking back to those words. Very simple words and yet they held so much meaning and impact to them. She couldn't imagine herself getting kidnapped by the League of Villains. She wouldn't know what to do. She knew for a fact that her family would be worried and would try to go to the ends of the earth to get their daughter back. It didn't help that she also came from a prestigious family. And now she could only imagine what Midoriya and Bakugo were going through right now. It was a sickening thought. What kind of torture were the League of Villains doing to them? What did they even want with them?

She knew those two boys were strong. They could take care of themselves but for some reason she felt the vital need to go and do something. She reprimanded herself for not being able to do anything during the camp. And now she had a chance to actually help. Now, when she has the opportunity, will she actually go with it? Or will she chicken out and stay in her, nice, big mansion as she lets the others do the dirty work.

She pictured Izuku's smile in her head. Oh how she would do anything in the world to protect that smile. The smile that were always in her dreams. The smile that always lifted her up from the dumps and made her believe that she can actually become an amazing Heroine one day. She always felt like she did not earn her spot in UA due to her being a recommended student. She didn't have to go through the Entrance Exam like the majority of the students. This made her insecure about her placement in the Hero program. Did she really belong there? That was the question that always plagued her mind from the first day of school. She observed her classmates and thought that they were so much more capable than her.

Then the Sports Festival came, and with the help of Izuku, she was able to defeat Tokoyami in a one on one match. She knew for a fact that she would have never been able to defeat the bird headed student if it wasn't for Izuku's words of encouragement and her awakening of Ki. And although she wasn't able to win the whole thing, she was still satisfied with that.

In the Final Exams, she was feeling doubtful yet again. But the Green-Haired boy of her dreams was there yet again, to spark courage within her. And she was able to pass her exam with flying colors, with even Aizawa being impressed with how much she has grown.

And it was all thanks to him…

Ever since Momo had met him, she had been confused as to what her feelings about him truly were. She thought he was a kind hearted person, with the true heart of a Hero. Contrary to what many people may think, Momo has never had a boyfriend, or ever gone on a date before. It was silly to think that such a beautiful young bombshell as herself had never been in a relationship before. But it was the truth. She never really paid much mind to those sort of things. She was always focused on her studies, mastering her Quirk, working towards becoming a Heroine. She never really had much time for boys. It also didn't help that most boys her age were only really interested in her body and looks, and not really herself. They were really materialistic and they really only wanted the clout and bragging rights for saying, "Oh yeah, I'm dating the rich and sexy Momo Yaoyorozu!" It honestly disgusted her. So much to the point where she just did not want anything to do with boys or relationships.

Her father would often attempt to get her with the son of another prestigious and rich family so that the Yaoyorozu family name and business could extend and become even more powerful. But Momo of course, rejected the offer every single time. Her father understood why and did not try to force her. He didn't like the idea of his daughter getting with any boy that did not respect her. He's a guy too, and he knows what guys at that age are really interested in. Mr. Yaoyorozu encouraged Momo to become a Heroine and find a man that genuinely loves and respects her. He is still waiting for the day to meet this man.

And then she met Izuku Midoriya. He wasn't like all of the other boys. When he talked to her, he didn't just stare at her sizable bust. No, he looked deep within her eyes as they spoke. Momo couldn't count the times she had lost herself in those magnificent emeralds he called eyes. His aura and smile alone inspired hope within them all. Everytime he looked at her, her heart would skip a beat. Her stomach would get butterflies, and her breathing would quicken. It was obvious that she has a crush on him, but it seems that Izuku was still to dense to notice.

But what were her feelings towards the Green-Haired young Hero in training? Was it just a crush that she would eventually get over? No. It was more than that. She knew it was. She didn't want to admit it out loud, but…

Momo Yaoyorozu is in love with Izuku Midroriya.

Momo sighed. Now that she has come to terms with her feelings, what will she do? Who knows what could happen when the Heroes find the lair of the League of Villains. There wasn't even a guarantee that they would all survive. Momo gasped at that possibility. What if she never sees him again?! No, that can't happen! She still hasn't told him how she feels yet!

Then Momo had a revelation. If she doesn't do this, then she may live the rest of her life with regret. She didn't want that. She wanted to take any opportunity she can get.

And that is exactly what she is going to do.

Momo had made a decision.

'I'm going to go save him! And when I do, I'm going to confess and tell him how I really feel!'

Momo then began to get ready for the upcoming mission. It isn't going to be easy, but now she was more determined than ever!

As it was approaching dark, and she was just about ready, she heard a knock on her hospital room.

"Come on!" Momo called out. She widened her eyes at who walked through the door.

"Ochaco?"

Said girl nervously smiled, "Hey Yaomomo… "

"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at home?" Momo asked. It wasn't like she didn't enjoy her company, but there must be a reason why she had come here. Especially given the fact that she was by herself.

Ochaco looked at Momo who was fully dressed, "So you've decided huh? You're going to go and try to rescue them…"

Momo nodded, "Yes. I know it may seem crazy but I've already made up my mind. I want to do this."

"Well then…. Let me go with you guys!"

"W-What?!" Momo looked at Ochaco as if she had grown a second head. She wanted to go too? But wasn't she one of the people who were really against the idea of a rescue mission?

Ochaco sighed, "I have been thinking about this all day. At first I was unsure, and agreed with the rest of the class that this idea was way too reckless. But then I thought, 'What would Deku-kun do in this situation?' And well… the answer is pretty obvious. He would be the first one to try to go and rescue whoever one of his friends that was captured. If either one of us was taken by the League, I'm positive that he would not rest, even with all of those injuries. I know you feel guilty for not being there and not being able to do anything to prevent him and Bakugo from being captured. I feel the same way. I want to make it up somehow by taking this chance and doing everything in my power to go and save them. Deku-kun has done so much for me and all of us that I can't just sit here and allow him to be in the hands of those Villains. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night knowing that. Even though it is against the rules and it is stupid, I still want to go. So please, will you allow me to go with you guys?"

After her speech, Ochaco was on the verge of tears. Momo could see all of the emotion she was pouring out with her speech. And then it hit Momo.

'Ochaco… she loves him too. Doesn't she?'

Momo smiled. It looks as though she had some competition. But she wasn't going to let that stop her. She was determined to be the one to win over Izuku's heart.

"Of course you can come with us. Come on, let's go. Todoroki and Kirishima must be waiting for us outside right now. Let's not keep them waiting."

Momo and Ochaco made their outside where the two boys were waiting.

"Oh, look Todoroki! She's here!" Kirishima exclaimed. They then both gasped when they saw who was with her.

"Uraraka?! What are you doing here?" Kirishima asked. He wasn't expecting the Zero Gravity Quirk user to be coming along with Momo.

"She said she wanted to come along with us. I believe her support will be very much useful in this rescue mission." Momo answered for Ochaco as the brunette nodded at her words.

Shoto raised his eyebrows, "Wait so that means you've decided that you want to come along?"

Momo nodded, "Yes-"

"Hold on."

The group gasped when they turned to see who it was that interrupted them.

"Iida." Kirishima said. He should have seen something like this coming.

"Why are you here? I thought you were against this." Shoto asked. He doubted the Engine Quirk user was here to give them a happy sendoff.

Tenya growled, "You. Why did it have to be you of all people? You, along with Midoriya stopped me when I acted recklessly. Who received amnesty with me after Hosu. Why are you trying to make the same stupid mistakes I made? Didn't you learn?"

"What are you talking about?" Kirishima asked but stopped as soon as Shoto put a hand on his shoulder and told him to let Tenya finish.

"We are still just students. And UA's in a bad position as it is. Anything we do will reflect on our school! Don't you get that?!"

"Iida we have to! I know you don't like us breaking the rules, and I would usually agree with you, but-" Momo started to say before she was cut off.

"-I'm frustrated, too! And concerned. Obviously! Izuku is my friend, dammit! And Bakugo, while we may not be all that close, he's still one of my classmates and comrade! I'm worried about them, just as much as all of you! When I heard about Izuku's injuries, all I could think about was my brother in the hospital. What if his body ends up irreparable just like his, because I didn't step in? Have you not stopped to think about where I'm coming from?"

Tenya then began to break down in tears, "Or are you saying that you don't care how I feel?"

Momo immediately shook her head, "No, of course I do!"

"Iida. You've got it wrong. We don't expect to face them head-on and win. We'll get them back without fighting." Todoroki said.

"Yeah, we'll be stealthy. I'm talking covert ops here. We can rescue them without breaking the rules." Kirishima assured.

"I trust in you guys' judgement, but... still. Things could always go wrong, and I want to do my best to help out. So I'll join you as backup!" Ochaco exclaimed. She understood the danger of what she was agreeing to. But that didn't matter to her. She wouldn't be able to live with herself if something happened and she wasn't there to help. "I'll stand behind my classmates! And we will save Deku-kun and Bakugo!"

"You can't be serious, Uraraka! Surely, you must know what you're getting yourself into!" Tenya yelled.

Kirishima smiled at her words, "Thanks, Uraraka. You're the best!"

"I know this may seem foolish. And under normal circumstances, I would not agree to this. But these aren't normal circumstances! If I can do something, then I can't just sit still. I have to reach out and do something. Because all I can think about is saving them!" Momo exclaimed as she stared at Tenya with an unrelenting and unwavering resolve.

Tenya was taken aback by her words and conviction. He then sighed and closed his eyes.

"We'll never agree. So I'm going to come with you."

Momo raised her eyebrows as everyone else was taken by surprise by Tenya's declaration.

"I have some concerns, Iida. What exactly is your justification for changing your mind and joining us?"

"To be clear, I'm coming because I don't condone your behavior. It is as simple as that. If there's even a hint that physical combat might break out, I'll make you retreat immediately. So in other words… I'm your watchman!" Tenya said as he pointed his finger at the group.

"Exactly what we needed." Shoto sarcastically remarked as he smiled.

Momo sighed, "That's fine. Objectively speaking, there's no reason for any of us to go after Izuku-kun and Bakugo. However…"

She took out her tracking device, "I understand how each of you feel. And I want to go save them as well. So let's try to be smart and not get ahead of ourselves, okay?"

"Right."

"You got it!"

"Let's go save Deku-kun and Bakugo!"

"You better not do anything rash!"

They then made their way to the train station. As they walked, Momo had a lingering thought in the back of her mind.

'A rescue without us fighting… It's not plausible. We will probably have to break the rules anyway. But I'm ready to take the consequences. Sit tight Izuku-kun. We're coming for you. Try to keep Bakugo in control.'

When they boarded the train and took their seats, Momo spoke up.

"The coordinates indicate Kamino Ward, Yokohama City in Kanagawa Prefecture. Our travel time will be about two hours from here. We should arrive ten o'clock tonight."

"That must be where the Villains are hiding and holding Deku-kun and Bakugo captive!" Ochaco said.

Todoroki then had something to say, "Just to make sure. You know we're going against everyone's wishes., and being completely selfish by doing this. We can call this off if you want to."

"Does it look I want to turn back?! Neither Midoriya or Bakugo wouldn't think twice about going after the Villains if they were here." Kirishima exclaimed. The red haired Hardening Quirk user was dead set on going on this rescue mission.

"Okay, what about you, Uraraka?" Shoto looked across to see Ochaco eyes light up at the mention of her name.

She nodded, "Yes! I refuse to turn back! I won't let those Villains get away with this!"

Shoto nodded in approval, "I see. All right, then."

Kamino Ward, Kanagawa Prefecture…

The young aspiring Heroes reached their stop and got off of the train. They then made their way to the main streets and were in awe of what they say.

"So this is Kamino Ward." Ochaco said.

"It's so crowded." Todoroki noted at all of the people walking up and down the night streets.

"Those Villains are hiding somewhere in this city. Just tell me where to go!" Kirishima yelled as he began to run off in a random direction.

"WAIT A SECOND!" Momo shouted at her red-haired classmate which made him stop in his tracks. "From now on, we are going to need to be extremely careful. These criminals already know what we look like, remember? We have to consider that we could be attacked at any moment." They were in completely unfamiliar territory. For all they knew, the Villains could have already spotted them. It didn't help that they came from the most prestigious school in the country and all of them were broadcast on global television during the Sports Festival.

"Yeah, you're right! Stealth mode." Ochaco made a weird ninja pose as she said that.

"You're standing out even more, Uraraka." Shoto said.

Iida put his finger under his chin, "We won't be able to scout effectively if we're recognizable."

"Okay, so what should we do?" Kirishima asked.

"I have an idea. Though it is a bit old school…"

10 minutes later…

"This is ridiculous…" Iida said after coming out of the store.

"This is me. Incognito." Todoroki blankly said behind Iida.

"I don't know why you guys are complaining! I kind of dig these get ups!" Kirishima exclaimed.

"Yeah, I agree with Kirishima!" Ochaco yelled.

Momo nodded, "We'd stand out in this district dressed like kids."

"Yaoyorozu? Couldn't you have used your Quirk for this to save money?" Shoto asked with a sweatdrop.

"Well, technically, but that's against the rules! If I started taking everything, think of the impact on the economy! We MUST ensure the flow of commerce!That's right! It is our civic duty. As citizens!"

"Yeah no." Todoroki blanky replied.

Kirishima chuckled, "So the rich girl just wants to go shopping, huh?"

"Yeah, I guess so. I still don't like my outfit thought." Tenya said.

"But Iida, you're the one who picked it out." Ochaco added.

"I KNOW AND I HATE MYSELF FOR IT!"

Momo got in front of this group, "Everyone. Our destination is this way."

"Whoa, it's UA High!"

A random pedestrian called out as Momo immediately began to panic. Then she calmed down when she realized they were not referring to her and her classmates but to the current news broadcasting on one of the big screens.

"Now, let's return to a short clip from the UA High School press conference that just wrapped up." A newscaster announced.

"Mr. Aizawa?" Ochaco said as they pulled their attention towards the newscasting.

"And Vlad King and the Principal!" Momo exclaimed. "What's going on?"

Said staff of UA was dressed in suits as they were standing up at a press conference. It seems as though they were answering many of the media's questions about the Villain's attack on the summer camp.

Aizawa began to speak, "We are here to apologize. A recent incident allowed harm to come to 27 First Year Heroes. And we staff were ill prepared. We take responsibility for any trauma caused by our negligence. It is our duty to train Heroes, but also to protect Heroes in training." They then bowed as the press took photos.

"This is crazy. He hates being on TV." Kirishima said. It is no secret that their homeroom teacher didn't like the spotlight nor the press too much. And here he was in a press conference being broadcasted on television.

"I'll take the first question." A reported called out. "Since the beginning of the year, UA students have had four encounters with Villains. Five, if you count the incident on I-Island. This time, there were students who were gravely injured. How did you explain this to their families? And what are some of the specific steps you're taking to ensure their safety in the future?"

Momo frowned at that question, 'The media should know what UA's basic position is since they didn't cancel the Sports Festival. They just want him to look bad.'

Momo angrily gripped her fists, "They're treating them like… Villains."

Nezu decided to reply to the question, "We will increase patrols around the school grounds, and review security measures within the school. The safety of UA's students is our main priority, make no mistake about it."

"Ugh, what are these dudes thinking?"

"They're gonna get those kids killed."

"They should be ashamed."

"Increased patrols? Gimme a break."

"What about the rest of us."

Many of the people in the crowd began to insult UA. They clearly didn't believe in anything that Nezu just said. This was evidence that the people were quickly losing faith in UA.

The mood was changing. You could feel it in the air. People were turning against Heroes.

And if they didn't do something… it was just going to get worse.

---

In a bar, the TV was shut off as the person who had the remote looked behind him with a smug smirk on his face.

"Isn't that strange? The Heroes are becoming the bad guys. Seems like they're not dealing with this very well at all."

It was Tomura Shigaraki who had spoken. He and the rest of the League of Villains were located in their hideout which was the bar. The rest of the members stood quietly as Tomura continued his speech.

"So much criticism. But everyone makes a mistake or two, right? It is not like they are supposed to be perfect. Modern-day Heroes sure have it rough. Don't you think, Katsuki Bakugo? Izuku Midoriya?"

Said teenagers were tied up against chairs as they looked on blanky at Tomura. Katsuki growled as he watched the newscasting. This was exactly what they wanted.

Izuku had dropped out of his Super Saiyan form when he came through the portal. He was so exhausted that he had passed out. When he woke up, he found himself strapped to a chair, besides Kastuki, with some of his wounds fairly treated, but he was still in serious condition. He looked on at Tomura as he also heard the news casting. It seems like this is what they had planned all along. And Izuku knew it. But he was much more calm than Bakugo and did not let any emotion show on his face.

"Once a Hero receives payment to protect people, they aren't a real Hero anymore. That's what Stain's actions taught us." Spinner added as he stared at Izuku. He knew that Stain had saved him for a reason. He had the true heart of a Hero. That was made apparent when he sacrificed his body to save his classmates.

"A Hero in this current system only cares about money and glory. And since society buys in to those idiotic rules, anyone deemed a loser is shoved aside. So we want to pose some questions. What is a Hero? What is justice? Is this society truly fair? Soon, everyone will be asking. That's when we will know we have won. And you two like winning. Don't you?" Shigaraki said as Katsuki growled at them. Shigaraki only smirked as he saw two of the biggest Hero prospects sitting and tied, as they watch defensively as their beloved Hero society falls and crumbles right before their eyes. Shigaraki was about to say something else before they all began to hear dry laughter.

It was silent at first, but then it got louder and louder before it got hysterical. They all turned to see Izuku was the one who was laughing. He was laughing like a maniac. It made even some of them uncomfortable. He kept on laughing and laughing without rest. As if, he was slowly going into madness. That laugh didn't remind them of a Hero. It reminded them more of a possessed Villain that was about to leave destruction in his wake.

He kept laughing and laughing for about 5 minutes before Shigaraki slammed his fist on the bar counter.

"Is something funny, Deku?" Tomura growled out. He didn't think he had cracked a joke during his whole spiel. He didn't intend for anything what he said to be comedic. It wasn't meant to be taken as a joke. So why was one of their prisoners laughing his ass off like some sort of crackhead?

Izuku stopped laughing. He took a deep breath as he blankly stared at Shigaraki. He then smirked at his angry face.

"What's funny? Oh nothing, really. I'm just laughing at the fact on how you guys think that you have already won. It's really funny. Hilarious, even. I'm sorry for my outburst. But I just couldn't control myself. I couldn't help it. I just had to laugh!"

"Oh yeah?! So that's funny to you?! Didn't you just see the news? Your school is being criticised for allowing you kids for getting hurt and kidnapped. People are losing their faith. It won't be long until Heroes have been completely rejected! And then we would have finally won! Accept it, Deku! Your dream of becoming the Number 1 Hero is dead! There won't be any more Heroes after we're done! All there will be is Destruction, Ruin, and Chaos." Shigaraki said as he slammed his fists on the bar counter again. He looked to see Izuku with the same blank look on his face. Not allowing any type of emotion to show. Until he spoke again.

"You're an idiot." Izuku plainly said.

Shigaraki widened his eyes and was about to shout in anger once more, before he calmed himself down and took a deep breath. He then pointed at Dabi.

"Dabi. Let them go."

Dabi sighed, "You know they'll just fight."

"It's fine! We're recruiting them, so we should treat them both as equals. Besides, they're smart enough to know they can't take us all, right? At least not with those injuries." Shigaraki smugly smirked at Izuku and Katsuki, "After all, UA students are so clever."

Izuku chuckled, "Oh yeah? You sure about that? I don't, me and my good friend Kacchan over here aren't pushovers. Even with my injuries, I'm positive, I can take on at least 4 or 5 of you. And maybe he can take out the rest. What do you think, buddy?"

Bakugo laughed at Izuku's antics, "Yeah, I agree. I definitely wouldn't suggest these Villain extras to underestimate us. We ain't two of the top strongest students in UA for nothing."

"Yeah, don't forget. I'm the one who took care of your strongest member. Muscular, was it? You wanna end up like him?"

The entire league widened their eyes. They had almost forgotten that Muscular was defeated back at the camp. And it came as no surprise as to who it was who took care of him. Most of the League began to sweat as, if Deku was strong enough to make short work of their strongest member, then who knows how strong the kid truly was.

"Hey, Twice. You do it." Dabi said with a nudge.

"Hell no! You don't see those looks in those eyes?! No thanks!" Twice yelled as he ran to go hide in a corner.

"Magne?"

"YOU HAVE TO BE OUT OF YOUR DAMN MIND! I ain't messing with the kid that beat Muscular! He has to be a monster to have that kind of power at such a young age!" Magne cried out as he followed behind Twice and hid in the same corner.

"Compress?"

"I would like to keep my internal organs the way they are, thank you very much!"

A loud feminine sigh could be heard as their only female member began to make her way towards the prisoners.

"You guys are such pansies. Give me the key."

Himiko made her way over towards Izuku and began to unlock his shackles.

"Deku is a good boy. He won't lay a hand on any of us. Right, Izu-kun~"

Himiko seductively purred out as she took that chance to invade Izuku's personal space. He immediately gained a blush on his face due to the close contact. He wasn't used to all of the female attention as of late. And he didn't think that this admittedly, cute school girl, would try to put the moves on him right in front of her teammates. She then whispered in his ear.

"I'm sorry for what me and my team did to you and your camp. But I promise to make it up to you, later~"

The blonde proceeded to slowly lick his ear, where there still remained some dry blood. Izuku began to emit steam as he didn't expect such a forward advance from the Villainess. But he had to remain cool right now. Or else, the plan will just go to waste. It didn't help that she winked at him before she went on to get Bakugo out of his locks.

As Himiko was doing that, spoke up, "I do apologize for such forceful method. But please understand that we aren't some kind of unruly mob committing crimes without a third act in mind. We didn't kidnap you two by accident."

Shigaraki stood up from his seat, "Even though our backgrounds are different, everyone here has suffered. Because of people. Rules. And Heroes who try to hold us back. I'm sure you're the same." Shigaraki said as he walked up towards Bakugo.

At that moment, Katsuki quickly kicked pushed Himiko aside towards Izuku, and then fired off a loud and boisterous explosion right to Tomura's face. The explosion created a large smoke screen as it was so strong that Shigaraki's hand that he had on his head, fell off.

"Shigaraki!" Twice yelled out.

Izuku started laughing at the scene, "Can't say I didn't see that coming!"

Bakugo took a deep breath as he stared at the League of Villains.

"I'm done listening to your endless talking. Can you not get to the point, or do you just like the sound of your own voice?"

"Yeah, I agree with Kacchan. You were getting kind of annoying there."

Bakugo continued his tirade, "Basically, what you're saying is you wanna cause some trouble and you want us to join you. Well, screw you. We ain't joining shit! I like to win. I wanna win just like All Might. No matter what you have to offer me, that will never change, do you understand?"

Shigaraki stayed still. He looked at the hand that was now lying on the floor. He widened his eyes as he yelled out.

"Father!"

Just then, somehow one of the TV's that were still turned on in the bar, was showing a live broadcast of the UA Press conference. They all turned their attention towards the TV, which showed a reporter about to ask Aizawa a question.

"You spoke about keeping the students safe, Eraser Head. But according to our information, you encouraged them to fight during the attack of the training camp, putting them in grave danger. What was your reasoning for this?"

"I concluded that because we didn't know the full situation, allowing them to use their Quirks would help avoid the worst possible outcome." Shota replied. He was currently wishing he didn't have to be there. He much rather would be napping right now.

"And what would that outcome be? Do you think 26 victims and two kidnapped children is a win for UA High?"

"I assure you that things could have gone much more poorly. I feared every student would be tortured and killed in the end."

Nezu took this opportunity to speak, "Most of the victims were harmed by the gas attack. We've determined it to be the result of the poisonous Quirk used by one of the Villains. It is thanks to the quick actions of Ms. Kendo and Mr. Tetsutetsu that injuries were kept to a bare minimum. Additionally, we're providing mental health counseling to every student, though at the moment, we do not see any signs of serious psychological trauma."

"So you've found a bright spot in this tragedy?" The reporter made a snarky reply. It was obvious that he was trying to spark a reaction out of them.

"We're relieved that an entire class of burgeoning Heroes still has a future." Nezu said.

"Can you say the same for the abducted Izuku Midoriya and Katsuki Bakugo? They both enrolled at your school with excellent marks, and both went on to get top three in the Sports Festival, with Midoriya coming in 1st place and Bakugo coming in third. Before that, they survived the attack of a powerful sludge Villain who eventually had to be taken down by All Might. The boys are obviously strong and Heroic. On the other hand, the violence they displayed in the semi finals and their attitude during their No Holds Barred match both showed that they are still young and have trouble controlling their tempers. What if this is the real reason the Villains kidnapped them? What if they are brainwashing Midoriya and Bakugo right now as we speak, and pulling them toward the path of evil? How can you sit there and tell us, they still have a future?"

Vlad King narrowed his eyes, 'This reporter knows exactly what he's doing. He's trying to antagonize us so we say something damning.' He noticed Aizawa stand up, 'You can't fall for it, Eraser. He most likely knows how much you hate the media. Don't let him trick you!'

Aizawa then bowed, "As Izuku Midoriya and Katsuki Bakugo's homeroom teacher, I take full responsibility for not taming their more violent behavior. However, their actions at the Sports Festival were both born of deep-seated convictions. They both have the same dream. To become the Number 1 Pro Hero. And they are trying harder than anyone in their pursuit of that dream. Their match in the semifinals should have shown you and everyone else that they are willing to put it all on the line in order to accomplish their goals. They won't stop at nothing until they have transformed into the best possible Heroes they can be. Out of all of my years in teaching and being in the Hero Business, those two have shown more heart and will than any other Heroes that I have ever seen, even All Might himself. So if the Villains think they have any chance with them, then they are grossly mistaken. I can guarantee you that much."

Everyone in the press conference were taken aback by the amount of praise that Aizawa was giving his students. The reporter regained his bearings and proceeded with his questioning.

"T-That doesn't amount to real evidence, though. I didn't ask you how you feel, I asked if you had concrete information."

Nezu spoke up, "We're doing our best with the intel we currently have available. I have no doubt the police will break this case very soon. We won't rest until our missing student is returned to UA."

Katsuki smirked after hearing those words, "Hah! Did ya hear the teachers? They get us more than I thought. We'll never join your League of Bastards!"

'They went through the trouble of mounting a huge attack, all just to bring us back here. The idiots even said what they wanted. For us to join their pathetic group. Which means I know they won't kill us. Deku definitely already figured that out too. What a bunch of amateurs. Now's our chance. We gotta take a couple of them down quick, and get the hell outta here.'

"We may not be at camp, but we're still allowed to fight!" Bakugo shouted. He turned his head towards Izuku, "Hey can you still battle with all of those injuries."

Izuku nodded, "I don't need arms to take care of these cannon fodder!"

Magne sucked his teeth, "He must've figured out that they're important to us. What a clever boy."

"No. He's a fool." Dabi commented.

Himiko clapped her hands, "Let me stab him!"

"A clever performer would have acted like we were winning him over. Now that he's broken character, he's finished." Mr. Compress exclaimed.

Katsuki smirked, "I only do whatever I want to, and I won't even pretend otherwise. And I'm tired of being surrounded by a bunch of lame-ass wannabes!"

Shigaraki twitched his fingers, "Father."

Kurogiri panicked, "No, Tomura Shigaraki. Be calm." He was about to activate a portal before Shigaraki stopped him by lifting an arm.

"Don't lay a finger on them. Any of you."

He picked up the hand that had fallen off.

"These Heroes… "

He put the hand back on his face, "...is still a valuable piece. I wish you would have listened to what I had to say. I thought we could have come to an understanding."

"Heroes and Villains are cut from the same cloth…"

Katsuki remembered the words that Best Jeanist told him, "What, you think we're the same? Not a chance!"

"Then I have no choice. The Heroes said they'd continue their investigation of our group, so we don't have time to stand here and talk."

Shigaraki turned around to a TV whose screen read, Sound Only.

"Master. Lend me your power."

Izuku widened his eyes, 'Master? That can't be…. No, it has to be!'

All For One smirked as he saw the events following through on his monitor.

"That is a wise decision, Tomura Shigaraki."

Izuku gasped, 'That's the same voice from my visions. That is definitely him! Crap! It looks like things are about to get heated soon! Shoto, where are you?!'

"A Master? I thought you were the boss around here. But you're a sidekick!" Bakugo shouted.

"Kurogiri. Compress. It is time to put them back to sleep." Shigaraki ordered.

Mr. Compress sighed, "I can't believe he's such a bad audience member. It is almost impressive."

"If you want me to listen, then get on your knees and beg!" Bakugo exclaimed as he got into a fighting position.

"Kacchan, wait!" Izuku yelled. He had felt various energy signatures coming to this location. And they were very familiar

Katsuk grit his teeth when he heard Izuku's warning, 'I wanna blow them away with maximum fire power, but that warp guy is way too fast. Think. We need to make an opening somehow and get to the backdoor!'

They all stopped when they heard knocking from the front door.

"Hello? I gotta pizza delivery here."

They all looked towards the front door in suspicion.

"I didn't order any pizza. Did you guys?" Twice asked.

Izuku then smiled, as he sensed a very large and familiar Ki signature.

"He's here…"

They all looked at him confused before the wall behind Spinner completely crashed down.

"SMASH!"

It none other than All Might who had blown open the wall with his fist of justice.

Spinner looked gobsmacked, "What the-?"

"Kurogiri! Gate!" Shigaraki shouted.

Kurogiri was about to teleport them out of there before they heard another Hero flying in.

"Pre-emptive Binding.."

All members of the League of Villains were suddenly tangled up in what seemed to be wood.

"...lacquered Chain Prison!" Kamui Woods called out as he successfully trapped all of the Villains.

"Heh. That's it?" Dabi said as he was about to flare his Quirk knowing that wood doesn't mix well with fire. However, before he could do that, he was kicked upside the face by a bolting Old Timer.

"Don't do anything foolish! It is in your best interest to cooperate with us." Gran Torino exclaimed as he warned Dabi to not try anything funny.

"Just what I'd expect from a competent new Hero. And veteran Pro who moves faster than the eye can see!" All Might's eyes glew blue as he stared down the League.

"You can't run anymore, League of Villains. Understand? Because we are here now!"

"Right after the press conference? They had this ruse planned the whole time!" Mr. Compress said shocked.

"Tree man! You're hugging me too tight! Harder!" Twice yelled.

"One tends to neglect defense when they're on the offense. But we didn't come alone. Take a look."

The Number 5 Pro Hero, Edgeshot appeared inside the bar as he opened the front door to reveal many SWAT members with assault rifles ready to fire.

"You're surrounded by the police. Not to mention powerful heroes like Endeavor."

"Tsukauchi! Why does Edgeshot get to rush into the fight while I'm stuck here with you?" Endeavor complained. When he had gotten the call to help on this rescue mission, he accepted without hesitation. He wanted to show the Villains to not mess with the son of his best friend.

"Because if someone slips out, we'll need you to capture them immediately." The detective replied.

"Ugh!"

All Might turned his attention towards his two students.

"Ah, you two must have been scared! But you stayed strong. I'm sorry. You two young men are safe now."

"WHAT?! I wasn't scared! Not even close!"

"All Might, I've literally fought with you side by side to stop a crazy maniac from destroying an island. I think this is pretty tame compared to that." Izuku said with a sweatdrop.

All Might smiled at the antics, "Heh!" He then noticed that Izuku was still injured, "Young Midoriya, you're way too reckless! But you're alive and that's the important part!" He gave him a thumbs up with a shiny smile.

Shigaraki grunted, "After I went through all the trouble of preparing this, the final boss goes and shows up on my doorstep. Everyone's been restrained. There's no easy way to escape. It can't be helped. So they've got backup, huh? Well, we do, too. KUROGIRI! Warp over as many as you can!"

"The Nomu, right?"

A couple of seconds passed, but there was no Nomu in sighed. Shigaraki looked towards Kurogiri, "What are you waiting for, damn it?!"

"I'm sorry, Tomura Shigaraki. The Nomu's were supposed to be in a fixed location… but they're gone!" Kurogiri said.

"Huh?"

"It seems you have a lot to learn, Shigaraki. You're still green." All Might grabbed onto Izuku and Katsuki's shoulders, "Your little League underestimated all of us. The souls of these young men. The police's diligent investigations. And… our righteous fury!"

"We have control. The Nomu are neutralized." Best Jeanist's voice sounded from the Heroes and police's ear pieces.

All Might smiled, "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Your game has come to an end, Tomura Shigaraki!"

Spinner yelped, "All Might, please! You're the only Hero Stain respected! You are worthy!"

"You think it's over? Don't be stupid. I've only just begun to play. Justice. Peace. You created a garbage society by lifting up such ridiculous ideals. That's why I targeted you, All Might. It is why I started gathering people to my cause. You think this is the end? Then you've lost. KUROGIRI!" Shigaraki called out but then gasped when he saw Kurogiri collapse.

Magne yelped, "What just happened? I couldn't see anything! Did they kill him?"

"I played around with his insides and made him fall unconscious. Ninpo: Thousand Sheet Pierce! He was such a nuisance. He had to sleep." Edge said as he had use his Quirk on Kurogiri.

"Weren't you listening earlier? You'll all be better off if you take us seriously." Gran Torino yelled. "Kenji Hikishi. Atsuhiro Sako. Shuichi Iguchi. Himiko Toga. Jin Bubaigawara. Though they had little time and information, the police worked day and night to discover your true identities. Do you understand? There's nowhere left for any of you to run. So Shigaraki. One question. Where is your boss hiding?"

Shigaraki gasped as he had a flashback to his first meeting with his Master.

"No one's come to save you, have they? You've had a hard life, Tenko Shimura. 'He'll be fine. Eventually, the Heroes will help.' I'm sure that's what everyone thought as they looked away and ignored you. The world shouldn't be so unforgiving. You didn't do anything wrong. Don't worry. I am here for you."

"No. This is not over. Just you wait. The game is still mine."

"You'll tell us where he is right now!" All Might ordered.

"Go away. Disappear!"

All Might growled, "Shigaraki!"

"This is your fault. I hate you!"

Right at that moment, grey portals opened up beside Tomura, with Nomu coming out of them. They were growling as they exited out of the portal.

"Nomu! How did they get here?" Kamui asked. "What is this?!" More Nomu started to appear from above.

"Dammit, Edgeshot. Stop Kurogiri!" Gran Torino yelled.

"He's still out. This isn't his doing." The Number 5 Pro Hero replied.

"They keep on coming!"

"Don't release them under any circumstances, got it?" All Might said as he pointed at Kamui Woods.

"Right!"

"The crap?" Bakugo suddenly shouted as the same portal that the Nomu was coming out of, was currently engulfing him and Izuku.

"What is this?!" Izuku yelled. He tried to fight out of it, but there wasn't much he could do with both of his arms broken. 'Damn it! This must be the doing of All For One. He's here! I can sense him!'

"Midoriya! Bakugo!" All Might attempted to grab them but they had already disappeared.

"NO!"

"Endeavor! Help us!" Kamui looked and saw that the Nomu were attacking Endeavor's group as well. "NO!"

"Tsukauchi. Evacuate the area!" Endeavor exclaimed.

"They're coming from the other hideout! But that location should be locked down. Come in, Jeanist. What the hell is going on over there?!" When the Detective didn't get an immediate response, he began to get worried.

"JEANIST!"

All Might punched away a Nomu as Gran Torino landed beside him. "Toshinori. What now?"

"They shouldn't have been able to warp Nomu here. And this backup came too fast! I fear that he has made a move."

Shigaraki sighed in relief after seeing these events transpire in front of him.

"Master."

---

2 Minutes Earlier…

"Ugh. Are these gross dudes really alive? I thought we'd be in for a fight, but this was super easy. Maybe we should have left this to the police and gone with All Might." groaned out as she held a couple of Noomu in her giant hands. When she had been called up for this job, she was ecstatic. It was her first big rescue mission. And it was top priority as they had to go save two UA students from the League of Villains. She had wanted to get the chance to meet Izuku face to face after the Sports Festival, given his popularity, but she was sent to the Nomu hideout instead.

"Difficulty and importance are two very different things, rookie." Best Jeanist replied as he fastened his strings on the Nomu. "Riot squad, get the transports ready. There could be more of them. Be on your guard."

"Yes, sir!"

"Come on, Ragdoll! Wake up for me." Tiger pleaded as he carried her in his arms.

"Is that your teammate?" Gang Orca asked as he ran up beside him. "She's breathing. That's good."

"Yes, but… Look at her. What have they done to you, my friend?" Ragdoll had a blank and emotionless expression on her face. Her eyes looked lifeless as if all of her spirit was sucked away from her. Something had happened to her and it changed her for the worse.

They then heard footsteps approaching. They were slow and had a menacing rhythm to them.

"I'm sorry, Tiger. But Ragdoll's Quirk was so useful. I just had to take it. How could I not?"

"Are you with the League?" Gang Orca asked as he was on guard.

"Somebody get us a light!" Tiger shouted.

"Since my body was mostly destroyed, I have not been able to stock up on Quirks."

"Stop there! Don't move!" Gang Orca ordered. The figure however kept on walking forward, revealing a tall man in a suit with some sort of helmet. Best Jeanist took the initiative and wrapped him in his strings.

"Hey! You can't attack like that! What if he's just a bystander!?" Mt. Lady exclaimed.

"THINK about the situation. A moment of hesitation could mean the difference between Life and Death! We can't let these Villains try anything!"

The man started generate an insane amount of energy. Red and black Lightning began to encircle him as there was a huge explosion which made everyone duck for cover.

The blast completely destroyed the warehouse and left a wasteland in its place.

Loud clapping could be heard as all of the Pro Heroes were on the floor, all about to pass out. Best Jeanist seemed to have taken most of the brunt of the blast. He was bleeding profusely from his left side and was panting heavily as he laid on his back.

"I see why you're the Number Four Pro Hero, Best Jeanist. That blast should have annihilated the lot of you. But you were able to manipulate everyone's clothing and pull them out of the way just in time. Quick thinking. Consider me impressed." The Villain congratulated as he floated in the air.

'It's him.' Best Jeanist thought as he flashback to one of their meetings before they set off in the mission.

"We believe there must be some sort of architect behind the League of Villains. It is likely that his strength is comparable to All Might's. He will be crafty and cautious. If he doesn't feel like his safety is guaranteed, he will not reveal himself. So you must capture SHigaraki and the others quickly. Then move on to their leader."

Jeanist grunted in pain, "It wasn't supposed to go like this. But that doesn't matter. A True Hero doesn't believe in excuses!"

Best Jeanist sent out a fiber attack, but the Villain simply countered it with his own blast that shot a hole through Best Jeanist's abdomen. The Number 4 Pro Hero yelled in pain, before he collapsed back to the floor.

"Now, I see. Your strength comes from practice and practical experience, not raw power. I don't need your Quirk. It wouldn't pair well with Tomura's disposition."

All For One stated as he looked at the downed forms of the Pro Heroes in pity. Too bad that they had to come face to face with the strongest man on the planet.

'Who is this guy? What just happened?' Shoto thought in shock as he and the others were hiding behind a wall. They just witnessed the massacre which was All For One taking out all of those Pro Heroes in a single blast, with absolutely no difficulty.

'He took out three Pros in an instant!' Kirishima never believed that such power could exist in one person.

'We have to run. I know that, but… ' Momo said mentally as she too was frozen in fear and shock at what she just saw.

'I'm so scared that my legs… ' Tenya for the first time, ever since Stain, felt true fear.

'My body… won't move! What… in the world… was that?' Ochaco was not expecting any of this when she tagged along. Now she was fearing for her and her friend's lives.

They then heard coughing. Somebody had just appeared through one of the portals that All For One summoned.

"Damn it! The hell?" Katsuki coughed out.

"What just happened? Kacchan, you okay?"

'Izuku! Katsuki!' The Class 1-A students shouted in their head. The two people they came to rescue were right in front of them. And they were right in front of that powerful Villain.

"My apologies, Midoriya and Bakugo."

"Huh? Who are you?" Katsuki said. Just then, all of the members of the League of Villains appeared.

Toga gagged, "That was so gross!"

"This black stuff reeks! I love it!" Twice exclaimed.

"Master." Shigaraki bowed to his sensei. Izuku widened his eyes at the exchange.

'That must mean… this guy is All For One!'

"So. You've failed once more, Tomura. But you must not be discouraged. You'll try again. That's why I brought your associates back with you. Even these two children, because you judged that they were important pieces on your game board. Start over as many times as it takes. I am here to provide you with help. All of this is for you."

Izuku began to tremble, 'W-What is this sensation. Why am I shaking? Is this… fear? He's so powerful. His Power Level is higher than anybody I have ever encountered before. So this is the guy that Toshinori-Sensei and the other One For All users warned me all. The one who's so strong that he killed all of the predecessors of One For All and gave Toshinori-Sensei that injury.'

Izuku didn't know what to do. He thought that this confrontation was possible and had a plan for it. But Shoto wasn't here yet. Wait.. Shoto!

Izuku could sense his energy signature nearby. He was hiding behind the wall. He could also sense the presence of Momo, Ochaco, Tenya, and Kirishima. He had no idea how they managed to convince Tenya to come along, but he'll worry about that later.

'Okay, it seems as though All For One still hasn't notice them. Good. Now, how to get out of this situation? I can tell Kacchan to get on my back and fly us out of here. But where would we go? I'm still not 100%, so I might be slower than I usually am, and the Villains may catch up to us. And I can't take them all on along with All For One. Not in this state. I have to give an opening for Shoto, so that our plan can work. But I have to protect Kacchan and the others, and keep them out of danger! Damn it!'

As Izuku was rambling with himself, he sensed a familiar energy signature fast approaching.

Izuku smiled, 'Alright, we may have a chance!'

All For One looked up. He noticed the same thing as Izuku.

"Ah. There you are."

All Might came flying in from above and clashed with All For One's fists. Their clash created a shockwave that shook multiple city blocks.

"I'll have you return my students now, All For One!"

"Have you come to kill me a second time, All Might?"

A gust of wind was produced from the exchange as everyone was sent crashing to the ground. Izuku kicked Bakugo so that they could take cover. Smoke enveloped the area.

"It took you long enough to find us. It is only five kilometers from the bar to here, and yet it was at least 30 seconds after I sent the Nomus that you arrived. You've gotten weaker, All Might. "

"You're one to talk, it's kind of difficult to ignore that fancy life-support mask you've got on. Aren't you overexerting yourself?"

Katsuki looked on at the scene with his jaw dropped, 'He held All Might back with his bare hands! This guy must be the boss Villain!'

'This guy is the real deal…' Izuku thought as felt the force of their clash.

All Might did some light warm up stretched, "I won't repeat the same mistake I made six years ago. You hear me? I will take Young Midoriya and Bakugo back. And I will make certain you're locked up for the rest of your miserable life! Right along with your despicable League of Villains!"

All Might charged full speed at All For One, with his fist ready to knock him into next week.

"Sounds like you got your work cut out for you. This will be hard for us both."

All For One summoned red and black lighting from his arm and sent All Might flying back multiple city blocks away, causing numerous builds to crash and fall.

"Hm. Air Cannon plus Spring-like Limbs. Kinetic Booster times four. Strength Enhancer times three. What a delightful combination. Maybe a few more enhancers next time." All For One listed the many types of Quirks he had used in that blast. Izuku stared at him bug eyed.

'He can combine Quirks that he's taken?!'

"All Might!" Bakugo cried out.

"Don't worry. It will take more than that to kill your Symbol of Peace. Get off the battlefield, Tomura. And take those two kids with you." A red veiny thread came out of All For One's fingers, "Kurogiri. Warp them away."

"Be careful! One of the Heroes messed with him and he's unconscious. I'm not sure what's going on, but if you can teleport, why don't you get us out of here?' Magne asked.

"My warp power is still new, Mgane. There is much to learn about it. Its distance is limited, and while he can teleport to specific coordinates, I can only transport people to and from my own location. Or, with focus, to or from someone I am very familiar with. That is all. It is easier to have Kurogiri do it."

A huge purple portal appeared, "Forcible Quirk Activation. Leave this place."

"What about you?" Shigaraki asked. Right after he said that, All Might appeared from the rubble. All For One floated up.

"You're not thinking, Tomura. There remains much room for you to grow."

"You're mine!" All Might yelled as he aimed a punched towards the Super Villain. All For One blocked it with his hand.

"Master!"

"Let's go, Shigaraki. While our masked lead is keeping All Might entertained. Claim your prize." Compress said as he and the rest of the League stared at Izuku and Katsuki. They looked at each other and nodded. They knew what time it was. It was time to fight.

"Huh. This is gonna be fun." Katsuki yelled excited.

"I got dibs on Shigaraki. I got a score to settle with him." Izuku said as he got into his fighting stance. His Perfected Full Cowl aura spiking up.

All Might saw what his two students were about to do and shouted, "Young Midoriya! Young Bakugo! Don't-"

"Don't take your eyes off of your opponent, Toshinori!" All For One shouted as he fired the spiky red tendrils which forced All Might to dodge.

"It's six against two! What's the plan, Deku?!"

"THIS!" Izuku stomped the ground with all of his might which caused it to shake as a crack formed. This caught everyone by surprise, even All For One, as he wasn't expecting that kind of strength from Izuku, given his injuries.

Izuku then bolted straight towards Shigaraki as his foot clashed with his arm.

Izuku smirked, "Remember what you told me at the mall? On the bench? The next time we meet, we're going to have to fight to the death? Well then… LET'S GO!"

Izuku shouted a battle cry as he roundhouse kicked Shigaraki upside the head. This caused the Decay Quirk user to fly to the other side of the battlefield.

"Deku, behind you!" Katsuki warned.

"I know!" Izuku shouted back as he dodged a slice from Toga's knife. He saw Magne and Magne flank him and simple drop kicked one of them and swept the other from under his feet,

"He can't use two of his limbs and he's still making short work of us! What is this kid?!" Dabi exclaimed as he fired a torrent of blue flames at Izuku.

"I can see why Stain chose him! He's got the power to back it up!" Spinner said.

All Might saw the Villains all attacking Izuku at once, "I'm coming for you!" But before he could take another step, he yelled in pain.

"I don't think so. Because I AM HERE!" All For One mocked All Might's signature catch phrase and flung him towards a nearby building.

Momo was witnessing the battle in front of her and sucked her teeth in frustration.

'All Might, Izuku-kun, and Bakugo are all completely stuck. What now? It's no use. As Heroes-in-training, we're not allowed to fight. But maybe… If there's an opening… An instant… We might have a chance to swoop in and grab them. And if we can save them, All Might can use the full extent of his power. But how? Nothing seems like it'll work. Come on, Momo Yaoyorozu! Think! What would Izuku-kun do in this situation. Somehow, we can help him out of this!'

Momo then widened her eyes as she remembered when All Might came flying onto the battlefield.

'Yes.'

She turned her head towards the rest of the group, "Iida. Listen!"

"You can't fight. I won't let you!"

"No, we won't have to! I think there's another way! A way that won't involve combat. That'll let us escape. With them. Come on, we can still get them both back!"

Shoto stared at Momo and nodded, "Alright, tell us your plan."

Momo looked downcast, "The thing is, it is all going to depend on them. If I did the plan myself, I don't think it would work. So, Kirishima. You're the key to this being a success!"

Kirishima gasped, "Me?"

"We need details Yaoyorozu. Come on."

"Right. Here's what I'm thinking."

All Might grunted as he and All For One traded blows. They then clashed fists as their tug of war created a mini shockwave.

"Are you holding back against me? Trying to keep the boys from being blown away?" All For One taunted as All Might created some separation. "You've put yourself in quite the predicament. So how will the Hero prevail?"

All Might grunted, 'Young Midoriya… Young Bakugo."

Katsuki fired off an explosion as he went up in the air.

'It will be hard for All Might to kick his ass as long as me and Deku are here. Damn it! Deku could actually be a good support. They fought together before. But with those injuries, it's a shocker as to how he's even standing. That guy has some big balls, that's for sure.

Similar thoughts were running through Izuku's mind as he was dodging combined attacks from Tomura, Himiko, and Dabi. He would be able to take care of them with one blast, but he still doesn't have access to his arms.

'Damn it, guys! Hurry up! I don't know how much longer we can keep this up!' Izuku thought as he sent a Manchester Smash to the three in front of him.

As if on cure, they heard a wall being smashed threw. Izuku looked up to see Todoroki had created a huge slab of ice that reached up extremely high. He then saw people slide up it. It was, Kirishima, Iida, and Uraraka. Once they were high enough in the air, Kirishima looked towards Bakugo and yelled,

"COME ON!" With his hand outstretched.

Bakugo smirked as he yelled and activated his Quirk. He propelled himself and grabbed onto Kirishima's hand.

"You idiots!"

"WHAT?!" Spinner yelled in confusion.

"Bakugo. On my mark, you give us a giant-" Tenya was about to say something before he was cut off.

"Don't tell me what to do, damn you!"

"It's not the time to fight, you guys!" Kirishima exclaimed.

"Just as we thought. All eyes on them. Now's my chance!" Todoroki pulled something out from his pocket.

"IZUKU! HERE! CATCH!" Todoroki yelled as he threw something at said classmate.

Izuku's eyes lit up. He saw Shoto throwing something at him and grinned with excitement.

"YES! THANK YOU, SHOTO! I promise to pay you back, one of these days!"

"Don't worry about it! Now, take care of those Villains!"

"Let's go!" Shoto said as and Momo escaped.

"Why does this always happen to me?!" Shigaraki yelled as he began to throw a temper tantrum. "And things were going so well! Now we lost one of the brats. Good thing we still have one though."

He turned to look at Izuku and widened his eyes.

Izuku caught the object with his mouth. It was his bag of Senzu Beans. He opened it and ate one…

As soon as he swallowed… he yelled out a battle cry as a green electric aura enveloped him. All of his wounds and injuries instantly healed. His arms went back to normal and his Power Level shot up exponentially.

"YES! FINALLY! I can use my arms again! Let's get this party started! I'm all fired up now!"

All Might grinned, "Seriously? You kids."

"Don't let them get away!"

"Who can do distance?"

"Kurogiri and Dabi. But, they're down!"

"You two, come here!"

Magne used his Quirk on Mr. Compress and Spinner. He then launched Mr. Compress up and towards the kids.

"TITAN CLIFF!"

Out of nowhere, Mt. Lady appeared and transformed into her giant state. She blocked Compress from reaching Bakugo and the others. But not without a nose bleed.

"Whoa, Mt. Lady!" Ochaco exclaimed.

"The rescue's priority. Go home, you dumb kids." Mt. Lady grumbled out before she collapsed on the ground.

"We can still catch them! Come on, you two!" Magne was about to use his Quirk on Spinner and Twice before they were stopped by a yellow blur.

Izuku smiled, "Gran Torino-Sensei!"

"You're too slow!" All Might said.

"You're just too fast, hot shot!" The old timer snapped back. "So you saw the kids right?"

"Tch. After their experience in Hosu, I didn't think they'd come to the battlefield. Damn teenagers!"

"Those are my friends, alright!" Izuku said.

"And why didn't you go with them, Mister? This battlefield is way too dangerous for you! Go fly home!"

"Not a chance! I still want payback for what these guys did to ruin our summer camp! And I want to help you old men out! I ain't going, no matter what you say. So you might as well accept my help!" Izuku shouted as he powered up some more. "I'm back to 100% now anyone. AND I'M BETTER THAN EVER BEFORE!" Izuku could feel exhilarating power flow through him. It must be because of the Zenkai boost.

"He's turning out like you, everyday. Not a compliment." Gran Torino said.

"Damn Teenagers!" All Might repeated.

All For One chuckled at the scene in front of him. "Nana Shimura's friend, huh? And Izuku Midoriya, the 9th and current holder of One For All!"

All Might coughed, "That obvious, huh? Yeah he's my Successor! It's shameful that I needed their help. But now, I don't have to pull any punches against you. You're finished.

All For One tilted his head, "Is that so? Well, you're in for a rude awakening!"

"Two left over here. I'll handle them." Gran Torino said while looking at Shigaraki and Himiko.

"Tomura, I do not wanna die in this place!"

"They got us. Turned the tables of this fight with a single move." All For One used his forcible Quirk activation on a downed Magne.

"Forcible Quikr Activation. Magnetism!"

He then used Magne's Quirk on each of the downed members of the League and sent them towards Himiko who was standing in front of the portal.

"Hey! Watch out, you guys! You're coming at me too fast!" They were then sent towards the portal.

"Wait. Don't. Master!" Shigaraki called out.

"Oh, no, you don't! Izuku said as he was about to intercept only for one of All For One's tendrils to knock him away.

"Your body is too damaged! No, I… won't go!" Shigaraki was helplessly pulled into the portal and then it immediately disappeared.

"Tomura. You must continue to fight." He saw All Might charging towards with a punch and then called out, "Warping. Plus Shock Inversion!" All For summoned a portal in front of him where Gran Torino came out of. All Might hit his own teacher right in the face. The force of the punch then repelled itself back to All Might's own arm which caused it to bleed.

"I'm sorry!" All Might apologized. The punch was meant for All For One.

"I only came to save Tomura. But if you say you're going to fight, then I'll face you as you wish. In the past, your fist crushed one after another of my comrades. Many were forced into the shadows, underground. While you were extolled as the Symbol of Peace. What a grand view you must have had from atop our sacrifices. A Hero standing on the mountain of our defeats."

All Might grit his teeth as he aimed another punch at the Symbol of Evil, "Detroit…" he made sure to pull Gran Torino out of the way, "SMASH!"

The smash collided with All For One's own as his red and blakc lightning countered the move. All Might grunted as he decided to pull back with Gran Torino on his shoulder.

"He stopped the attack himself. You still won't fight me with your full power, huh? Because doing so would endanger all those people you've sworn to protect."

"You shut up. Always toying with people, probing their weaknesses. You steal. Break them. Manipulate and discard them. You scoff at innocent people who are just trying to lead happy lives!" All Might roared with fury. His passion echoing throughout the battlefield. He rushed at All For One and grabbed his left arm, "IT CANNOT CONTINUE!"

"It's over." All For One said.

"I WON'T LET IT!"

All Might punched All For One's mask and slammed him onto the ground causing a loud rumble. Gran Torino awoke, and gasped.

"Toshinori. You've reached your limit."

One of all Might's strands lowered as smoke began to emit from him. He was slowly transforming back into his true form. The embers of One For All were fading.

All For One smirked, "What's wrong? You seem to be worked up about something, All Might. I've heard that same exact line before, you know." All For One began to cackle, causing All Might to gasp. "From the person who had One For All before you. Nana Shimura."

All Might widened his eyes in rage, "DON'T YOU DARE SPEAK HER NAME! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT!"

All For One raised his eyebrows, "I have no right? My little Toshi?"

All Might grit his teeth, He was mocking him. That was the same nickname that Nana used for him.

"You're the one who killed her, damn it! Of course you don't!"

"Ah, but you see that's the point my dear friend. You have so much in common with Nana Shimura. The utter waste of a human who passed One For All onto you. Me killing her, drove you to become the Hero you are today. One could say that without me, there would be no All Might…"

"BE QUIET! My Master was a True Hero! Keep her name out of your disgusting and filthy mouth."

All For One sighed, "A woman with no skill, and grand ideas she could not live up to. How embarrassing for me, the creator of One For All, to see her inherit the power. And the way she died was so pathetic. It reminded me of the way my Little Baby Brother died. Shall I tell you about it?"

"ENOUGH!"

All Might was about to kill All For One, right then and there, but the Symbol of Evil sent a pulse of energy towards the Symbol of Peace. This caused All Might to go flying towards a news helicopter. However, Gran Torino caught him in time.

"You're in the way." All For One annoyingly said to Gran Torino.

"It is the same as last time. Toshinori. Calm down! Six years ago, you got distracted, and that's how he escaped! And put a hole in your stomach!" Gran Torino exclaimed as they reached the ground. "That's always been your weakness. Don't let him get under your skin!"

"Yes, sir."

"His Quirks and fighting style are completely different than they were. You won't be able to stop him head on. Use your wits! Can you still fight? It's do-or-die. You must go past your limit!"

"I will!"

"And so will I!"

Out of the rubble came Izuku, in his Kaioken aura. He had recovered from when All For One sent him flying to prevent him from stopping the League of Villain's escape from the portal. He heard all of the rubble and commotion and decided to get back into the fight.

"Young Izuku!"

"Brat, what are you doing?! This isn't the place for you! Fly home!"

"And I thought I already told you, that I'm not gonna abandon you two. What kind of student or even Hero, would just abandon his two old teachers and let them to fight against the all powerful Villain? Not me, that's for sure!"

Izuku then looked at All Might's current state. "Toshinoir-Sensei…. You're nearing your limit. Rest, and let me take care of this guy!"

"No, Young Midoriya! He's too strong for you!"

"Is he?" Izuku showed off his Kaioken power as his aura caused the city to shake. All three of them gasped at the level of power emitting from the kid.

"Well, if it isn't Izuku Midoriya? I've been waiting for you. This must be Fate." All For One said.

Izuku looked at him confused, "What do you mean?"

"I find myself conflicted. Tomura has been the one to chip away at society's trust in Heroes, so is it fair that I should land the final blow? You know, All Might. As much as you hate me, I think I probably loathe you more. I killed your master, sure. But you took away so much from me, everything I tried to build. That's why I want you to suffer until your last breath, and die broken and disgraced, for all the world to see." All For One began to charge up an attack.

"Big one's coming! Dodge and counter attack!" Gran Torino yelled as he jumped out of the way. Izuku flew out of the way, but All Might noticed a woman that was caught in the rubble of the fight and was about to be caught in the blast.

"Watch out!" Gran Torino yelled.

"I will obliterate everything you've protected. "

"Toshinoi!"

"Toshinori-Sensei!"

A huge blast was sent and All Might stood his ground and took the full brunt of it. When the smoke cleared, Izuku and Gran Torino widened their eyes in horror.

"First to go will be your self-respect, and ridiculous public image. Show the world how pitiful you really are, Symbol of Peace."

When the smoke cleared, All Might was revealed to be in his skinny, true form. The worst part was, the entire battle was being broadcast on live television. The whole world was currently witnessing the true form of All Might.

He had run out of time.

"Is everyone else seeing this? It looks like All Might's been shrunk somehow!" The news reporter from the helicopter shouted. Everyone was seeing it. And they couldn't believe it.

'All Might… Your secret!' Izuku thought in horror. Now everybody knows.

"Wh-What's going on?" Todoroki asked in shock. He and Momo were on the street watching the fight from a big screen in downtown. They had thought they would have already made quick work of the Villain, but for some reason, All Might was now a skeleton!

Momo stood at the scene gaping. She then activated her Crimson Ki aura and started to fly off.

"Yaoyorozu, what are you doing?!" Todoroki shouted.

"I have to go! I'm sorry!"

All For One chuckled at the scene, "Hollow cheeks and sunken eyes. To think that you're the greatest the adoring public knows your true form. Try not to be ashamed." All For One outstretched his hand, "Your move."

"Even as my body rots and grows frail. Even as you expose my weakened state. In my heart, I remain the Symbol of Peace. And there's nothing you can do to take that from me." Toshinori said as rainbow light began to gather in his hand.

"Is that so? Ah, well. I'd forgotten how stubborn you are. I guess I'll just give up. Oh! But there is one thing you might be interested to know. Tomura Shigaraki? My apprentice? He's Nana Shimura's grandson."

…

A pin drop could be heard. For a moment, there was only silence. And then Toshinori gasped as blood spewed out of his mouth due to the shock.

"I kept wondering what would annihilate your golden heart. And so I found Tomura. Groomed him to hate you, and watched you smile so proudly as you beat your master's descendant."

"That's a lie." Toshinori gasped out.

"Oh, come now. You know it is the truth. That is clearly something I would do. Huh! Well, well. That's strange, All Might. Where is your smile now?" All For One cackled as he mocked Nana Shimura by stretching his cheeks and lips to form a smile.

"You bastard."

All For One laughed hysterically, "How very entertaining! I think I've taken a piece of you after all.'

"He's my Master's grandchild… My God, what would she say if she knew how we turned out?" Toshinori screamed in horror.

All For One kept on laughing at All Might's expense, "Oh, the irony! I love it! I love it!"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!"

"Huh?" All For One looked up to see Izuku floating with rage evident on his face.

"I said to shut up! You have to right to talk to All Might that way! You're going to pay for that!" Izuku said as he flew straight towards All For One and punched straight in the face. This sent the Super Villain flying to to a building, causing it to crash down. A few moments later, All For One emerged from the rubble, with blood trickling down his forehead.

"Woah… It seems as though you have already surpassed your predecessors, Izuku Midoriya. That punch hurt me a lot. And I can tell that wasn't close to your full power." All For One began to laugh again, "Ah yes… Izuku Midoriya. It is also ironic us fighting and meeting here."

"You still haven't explained what you mean by that!" Izuku growled out.

"Oh yes, that's right. My apologies, I was a bit preoccupied with your Master. But yes, the reason for this being ironic… well you aren't the first Izuku Midoriya I've encountered."

Izuku raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean? Is there someone else with the same name as me or something?"

All For One chuckled, "Oh, so I'm guessing Hisashi didn't tell you, then?"

"You know my Dad?"

"Know him…? Oh boy, I have a history with your family! Yes, young Hero. Or should I say… Saiyan?"

Izuku gasped, "You know what I am?!" Izuku had not told anyone his secret heritage besides All Might and Gran Torino. So how did All For One know?

"Of course, I do! The tail kind of gives it away."

"But how do you know about the Saiyans? They died out ages ago! Way before your time."

"Oh, wouldn't you like to know." All For One then summoned a portal. And out of it came a briefcase. A very familiar briefcase. All For One opened it, and took out the contents. What was inside made Izuku and Toshinori widen their eyes.

"No… No way… It can't be.. That's Dave's…"

"It's the Quirk Enhancer!" Izuku exclaimed. "So it was you who had sent out to retrieve it!"

"Oh, but of course! It was the reason that I hired Wolfram. I was the one who originally wanted it. The fact that it was made by All Might's best friend, David Shield, just made it all the more amusing to me. Wolfram did use it, though, right? He wasn't supposed to do that. And yet, he still failed. You were the one who helped All Might defeat him. Well, trust me, I am not Wolfram. I will not make the same foolish mistakes he made!"

All For One put on the head gear and the entire Quirk Enhancer. Izuku tried to stop him, but it was too late. All For One was engulfed in a black and dark red aura as he kept on screaming and powering up.

"YES! THE POWER… IS MINE!"

There was a huge flash of light as everyone was forced to cover their eyes. When the light died down, they were shocked at what they saw. All For One no longer had a deformed face. No, he now had black wavy hair, and his facial features had returned. His muscle frame had bulked up as the injuries he endured 6 years ago were now completely healed.

"Ah, yes… I am back in my prime!" All For One yelled as a black and red Ki aura surrounded him. Toshinori and Gran Torino couldn't believe it. He looked as though he was in his twenties and that the fight between him and All Might six years ago, never happened!

"H-How could this be?! How is back in his prime?!" Gran Torino asked.

"It has to be because of the Quirk Enhancer," Toshinori choked out. He was now fearing for his and everyone else's life. If he had trouble with All For One now, there was no way he could beat him in that state.

"Yes, you would be correct, young Toshinori. You see, the Quirk Enhancer is supposed to amplify your Quirk to exponential levels. It seems as though the device made it so that my current De-aging Quirks were super charged to the point where they restored me back to the prime of my youth. And not only that, but I feel that all of the Quirks were amplified as well. Making me more than dozens of times more powerful! It's over All Might, You cannot defeat me this time!" All For One then pointed his finger up, as he remembered something.

"Oh, and I almost forgot to mention! It seems as though, the Enhancer triggered my Quirk Awakening!"

"Quirk Awakening? What in the world is that?" Izuku asked.

"Allow me to explain. You see, back before the age of Quirks, there was another source of power that people used and mastered. You are already familiar with it, Young Izuku. It is called Ki. It is the source of power present in all living things. Martial Art masters honed this power and used it to do many extraordinary things. Much like Quirks! But as time went on, humans forgot how to call upon their Ki and use it as power. So much so, it became so dim, that it almost seemed like it wasn't there. But it's there alright. We all have it in us! Then Quirks came along and changed the whole game. Quirks were a separate power source, different from Ki. But Quirks were easier to use and master Ki, that there was practically no point in learning it again. But you see, that is where most people would be wrong. "

All For One gathered a condensed Ki orb in his hand, "Both Ki and Quirks are two extraordinary and powerful things. But when in tandem, they can be even more incredible. That is our potential as humans. What a Quirk awakening is, it is when you can use your Ki and Quirk and at the same time and use them in tandem. To be even more powerful!"

Izuku narrowed his eyes at the information, "If that's the case… then why did you need Professor Shield's Quirk Enhancer in order for you to achieve your Quirk awakening? If you knew about this, then why didn't you unlock it before?"

"I was getting to that. The answer to your question, is quite simple. The stronger your Quirk is, and the more potential you have, the much harder it is to activate your awakening. Simple Quirks would have an easier time getting awakened, but for my Quirk… it would take ages before I could awaken it. Strong Quirks like All For One, need a more external factor in order to get the awakening. That is why I hired Wolfram to fetch this device for me!"

Izuku growled, "So that was your plan after all? You put the Professor and Melissa-san through all of that pain and trouble, just so that you can get more powerful?!"

"But of course! What do you think this is, Izuku Midoriya?! I'm a Super Villain, for crying out loud! I desire World Domination! Obviously, I'm going to manipulate people along the way! It just comes with the territory, my little Hero!"

"Damn, you! I'm gonna make you pay for that!" Izuku powered up to Kaioken Times 5.

"You powered yourself up a little more, but I'm afraid that won't be enough!"

"Oh, yeah? And what makes you so sure?"

All For One smirked, "There's one more thing I have to tell you…"

All For One's power level began to increase as the temperature began to rise with it.

"Let me show you… the strongest Quirk in my disposal!"

All For One was engulfed in flames. But these weren't ordinary flames. They were green in color. Green as emeralds. Their temperature was hotter than the surface of the sun. Just being near them, made Izuku sweat.

"Wh-What Quirk is that?" Izuku felt as though he should know it, but it was escaping him for some reason.

"Now… this is where the irony comes into play. You see, this Quirk is called Dragon Flare. And the original owner was named Izuku Midoriya!"

Izuku gasped, "Me? No that can't be! I wasn't born with a Quirk."

"I know. It isn't you. But it is a relative. The Izuku Midoriya I'm referring to is the father of Hisashi Midoriya. Your Father. That would make him your Grandfather, then, wouldn't it?"

Izuku's eyes widen as he couldn't believe what he was hearing. "Wh-What did you just say? No way, that's not possible. How do you have my Grandfather's Quirk."

All For One shrugged, "Oh, that's simple. I took it from him. When I killed him."

Izuku gripped his fists tightly, "What did you just say…."

"Yes! You get the irony I was speaking about earlier, right?! I had been searching for the Saiyans for quite some time. I wanted to see if I could learn to harness my Ki from so that I could get my Quirk awakening. And then, I found your Grandfather. He had the greatest Quirk I have ever seen. It was even greater in power than One For All! I just had to take it! And so I fought him. And I gotta say, he was a strong one. The strongest person I had ever faced at the time. Stronger than any previous One For All user, that's for sure. The bastard almost killed me. But I was able to win in the end. And when I took his Quirk, it was the greatest feeling ever! I felt like I could burn the Sun itself!"

All For one started to laugh evilly, "Oh and let's not forget about your dear old Dad. Hisashi Midoriya. The fool tried to avenge his father. If I'm not mistaken, he was about your age. He tried to fight me, but he wasn't strong enough. He was a good opponent. You should have seen the look on his face when I pulled out his own father's flames and used it against him! It was great!"

Izuku then exploded as rage engulfed him.

"Shut. UP! YOU WON'T SPEAK ABOUT MY FAMILY NO MORE! YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT!"

Izuku immediately powered up Kaioken times 20. He then charged at All For One at full speed.

"Well, I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Your father had the same reaction."

Izuku ignored him and fired a Detroit Smash right to his skull. All For One dodged the attack and chuckled.

"Sorry, but you're going to have to try a little harder than that!"

All For One ignited green flames on his arm and fired it at Izuku. The Green-Haired Saiyan narrowly dodged the flames as he could feel the burning sensation even without making contact with them.

'So those are my Grandfather's flames? Damn it, they're way hotter than Shoto's!'

"DELAWARE SMASH!" Izuku flicked his finger and sent a gust of wind at All For One. the Villain merely smirked in amusement.

"I thought you would be more of a challenge, but if this is all you got, then so be it!"

All For One grabbed Izuku and flung him across the battlefield. He then fired torrent after torrent of green fire at him. Izuku attempted to counter with Ki blasts, but he would find that the green flames would just burn the blasts.

"Damn it!" Izuku shouted as he flew up.

"There's also one more thing, I want to tell you." All For One followed Izuku up in the air.

"There's one more stage after Quirk Awakening. It is when your Quirk and Ki combine into one, to create an ultimate power!"

Green scales began to form on All For One's skin. His eyes became slitted and fangs formed.

"Quirk Evolution! Dragon Force!"

'Darn it! He's gotten even more powerful! How am I supposed to beat him now?!' Izuku thought. He was still in Kaioken Times 20. 'I'm just going to have to go all out!'

Izuku powered up to his maximum. He then kicked All For One away. The Villain didn't expect for Izuku to do that, so he was caught a little by surprise. He then saw Izuku fly up higher in the air.

"Ka...Me….Ha...Me...HA!"

Izuku fired a full power Kaioken times 20 Kamehameha. All For One merely grinned before he flew inside the blue energy beam.

"NO WAY!" Izuku exclaimed in shock.

All For One came out of the beam and then punched Izuku in the gut, "I don't think you understand your place. But neither you or All Might are on my level now. Accept defeat and PERISH!"

All For One kneed Izuku in the back which caused him to fall down to the floor and drop out of his Kaioken.

"How cruel fate can be, huh? You were born Quirkless right? You probably would have inherited this Quirk. But look at you. You're about to die by your own birth right! When you see your grandpa, tell him I said, hi for me, okay?!"

Right as All For One was about to finish off Izuku, they heard a yell.

"Get your hands off of him!"

Izuku looked up to see it was none other than Momo Yaoyorozu to come to his rescue.

"Momo-chan?! What are you doing here?! I thought you retreated with the others?"

"I saw what was going on, and I couldn't just stand by and watch! I wanted to help!"

"NO! You have to leave, NOW! This isn't the right place for you, right now!"

"This isn't the right place for anyone right now." All For One said. He then pointed a finger at Momo and sent out a blast of Green fire that was meant to kill her.

"NO!" Izuku yelled in horror.

But before the blast could hit Momo, Gran Torino jumped right in front of her and took the blast. He collapsed right on the floor.

"GRAN TORINO-SENSEI! NO!" Izuku yelled in horror. He feared the worse for the veterean Hero.

"No, Gran Torino! How dare you, All For One! You'll pay for that!" Toshinori screamed. He buffed up his right arm and charged at his arch nemesis with all of the remaining power he had left.

"Oh, yeah. You're still here. Let's take care of that, shall we?"

All For One blasted a torrent of green flames at Toshinori. Before he could even defend himself, he was engulfed in the flames. They were so hot, that they exploded on impact and burned Toshinori completely, leaving nothing but atoms behind.

All Might, the Symbol of Peace, had died.

Sir Nighteye's prophecy had come true…

"Good riddance. I've wanted to do for so long now. Now, I think the girl should go next."

(Music: Goku SSJ Theme by Bruce Faulconer)

Izuku's body began to twitch. He had just witnessed, his favorite Hero… his idol just die right in front of him.

And he couldn't do anything about it.

Because he's too weak.

"Useless Deku."

Izuku's mind began to flashback to all of the times he was berated for being Quirkless. And now his greatest nightmare had come true.

"You… You… Ruthless… thoughtless… BASTARD!"

All For One chuckled, "Is that the best you got? You really need to work on your insults."

Izuku grit his teeth as his muscles tensed. Lighting could be seen and heard. The waves of the ocean and the tides were shaking. The earth was bending as Izuku's hair began to stand up.

"I.. will.. Make.. you.. SUFFER!"

The lightning became more erratic as the tides of the ocean became wilder. Izuku's hair began to glow and switch from gold to green continuously. Rubble was seen levitating around him as his rage kept on increasing and increasing. Both Momo and All For One looked on in curiosity.

Izuku tensed up as his rage and anger all came together at one point and exploded.

With a deafening roar, his hair turned into Golden, his eyes turned teal as a pure golden aura enveloped him. His power skyrocketing to new heights.

"WHAT?!" All For One yelled in shock. Momo looked on with her mouth agape.

The Super Saiyan had returned.

Izuku turned his head towards Momo, "Go. Take Gran Torino with you and get out of here right now. Find the others and go! Get as far away from this place as possible!"

Momo only looked at Izuku with wide eyes. She didn't say anything. She was too frozen with shock.

Seeing this, only made Izuku more angry.

"DO AS I TELL YOU, RIGHT NOW! BEFORE I LOSE WHATEVER LITTLE SENSE OF REASON I HAVE LEFT!"

Momo immediately snapped out of it, "Okay!" She went to go retrieve Gran Torino.

Izuku looked on at All For One. The latter just staring at him in shock.

The fires of Izuku's temper have flaired. And his rage now burns with the heat of a mighty inferno.

All For One has met his greatest nightmare…

The Golden Warrior.
