Sliming Sadist was sitting with Tomura at the bar, both of them keeping tabs on their allies during the raid.
"For the most part, our allies are handling themselves admirably. Though Moonfish is showing to be too much of a loose cannon himself."
Tomura shrugged. "Well, that's what happens when you try to recruit a Death Row Inmate."
"A shame we lost Muscular, but alas he was too well-known," Sadist said. "The second the wrong hero recognizes him, it could lead the entire association right down on our heads."
"Sorry for the freak-out, Fumi. I think I'm good now." Dark Shadow said, having now grown accustomed to the darker environment somewhat.
Fumikage nodded. "Then let's track down our friends, and see if we can't find those villains as well."
"We'll keep searching for Ragdoll and Pixie-Bob!" Momo said as she and Tetsutetsu headed off.
"Guess we're following you, Tokoyami." Tony shrugged as he and Tempest joined their avian-headed friend.
After a bit of running through the wood, they found something surprising; A copy of Tony fighting Moonfish. Spotting Ochako, Tsuyu, Starlight, and Trixie, they realized what must have been going on.
"Guess Toga's Quirk went through an evolution," Tony noted.
"BANZAI!"
Ghidorah flew in out of nowhere, a tremoring bubble of energy surrounding his fist as he punched Moonfish in the back of the head, slamming him into the ground and creating a massive tremor that made the savage's skull rattle, blood bursting out of his mouth as his teeth shattered.
"Ghidorah~!" Himiko cheered as she dropped her transformation to hug her boyfriend.
Tsuyu lashed out her tongue to wrap around Moonfish, not wanting to take any chances in case he got up.
"Well, this guy is out of commission." Starlight sighed in relief.
"I'm surprised we made it through that..." Ochako said, shaking a little. "Moonfish is a notorious cannibal serial killer who has caused over 100 deaths in under a month."
"Luckily, I don't think he'll be able to do anything without his teeth," Tony smirked as he picked up Moonfish and showed his shattered, bleeding mouth.
"Listen up, students! We have a full list of every villain believed to be in the vicinity!" Came Mandalay's voice through [Telepathy]. "The Dazzlings, Storm King, Mustard, Spinner, Magne, Moonfish, Twice, and Dabi. There was also Muscular, but he's already been contained."
Tempest hit her communicator. "Tempest Shadow here. We've just contained Moonfish."
"Good. That's one less problem to worry about, then."
As Tiger came to help collect Moonfish's broken body, Trixie spoke up.
"When she transformed into Midoriya, Toga felt something quite strange. She said he had more than one Quirk."
"Yeah, it was weird," Himiko added. "Like, I could do all the things Midoriya can do, but most of it felt disconnected yet intertwined at the same time."
"In my professional opinion, we need to discuss this with Midoriya himself. Considering how long we've known each other now, he can trust us with whatever information he may have." Fumikage said.
Storm King stopped after running a good while to set Mustard down.
"Don't worry, my golems at least must have given us enough distance to get away."
Mustard hit his earpiece. "Mustard to base! Kurogiri, are you there?"
"I take it things are going poorly?"
"We've only lost contact with Muscular and Moonfish, so nothing too tragic," Mustard said. "But we were right, those bastards are even stronger than before! We need to take what we've gotten and beat it!"
"Very well. Tomura has issued a full retreat. Pixie-Bob and Ragdoll will suffice for now. I will be heading in to assist in the evacuation."
A Warp Gate appeared in front of the two, allowing them to jump through to the safety of the bar hideout.
Kira had gone to see if he could help find Ragdoll only to run into somebody he never thought he'd see again.
"Yoshikage..."
"Hey, brother..." Ableblade smirked, having split off from Dabi, Twice, Heart Piercer, and Banananasher when he learned Kira was nearby. "...Been a long time, huh?"
"I'd hoped we wouldn't meet under these circumstances..." Kira said with a bitter look on his face. "It pains me to see you having fallen in with the wrong crowd."
Ableblade laughed. "What can I say? The Hero School I tried attending couldn't handle me! Unnecessary roughness and disregard for safety, they said! Figured that my way of doing things wouldn't cut it as a Hero, so I decided to go Villain instead!"
"I never wanted to fight you, brother... Not like this." Kira said as he got into a fighting stance. "But I won't allow you to harm my classmates and teachers."
Ableblade smirked and used his Quirk, [Edge Summon], to pull out a longsword out of a dark portal before pointing it at his brother.
"Your Quirk may make it impossible for anybody to hurt you...but due to the blood we share, I'm the only one who can permanently hurt you!"
"Indeed...and no matter how fatal the damage I reflect on you, it cannot kill you," Kira said. "But at the same time, neither can you kill me."
"What do you say, brother? FOR OLD TIME'S SAKE?!" Ableblade laughed as he lunged forward, Kira rushing up to meet him with his fist pulled back.
Banananasher and Heart Piercer saw Kurogiri emerge from a Warp Gate. Dabi and Twice had split off earlier themselves after Ableblade.
"Are you sure this is wise, Kurogiri?" Banananasher asked. "Two Pussycats is more than enough."
"I know, which is why I came here to deliver one of the Doctor's Nomu."
Out of the Warp Gate came a six-armed Nomu, a giant chainsaw sticking out of its torso.
"I heard the Doctor was able to create copies of all sorts of Quirks. Guess he managed to copy Toxic Chainsaw's as well."
"I'm not hearing anything from anyone else. Think anyone got captured?" Dabi asked Twice.
"They're tough, they can handle themselves." Twice said. "Those kids totally destroyed them!"
Suddenly, Kurogiri appeared. "Tomura has ordered a full retreat. I've already sent in a Nomu to distract the heroes for this."
"We're running then? Fine by me!" Twice said. "Already?! I was just getting started!"
Dabi scoffed. "I still have something I need to do myself."
"What even do you desire to accomplish?" Kurogiri asked curiously.
"I only joined the League because I figured they could help me out with my problems," Dabi explained. "And one of my problems is Endeavor and everything he stands for..."
"Why do you hate him so?" Kurogiri pondered.
Dabi frowned. "You can never understand..."
"Tomura, we have someone who wants to join us. Apparently, he was a former UA Student in the Hero Course before being booted down to General Ed for unheroic behavior." Sliming Sadist said as Tomura arched an eyebrow.
"Really, who?"
Sadist conjured a portal with his Quirk, [Void Walker], summoning a familiar blonde-haired smug-faced prick.
"Tomura Shigaraki, meet Monoma Neito."
"I want to destroy those bastards...the ones who took my future away from me," Monoma said, his eyes showing nothing but pure madness. "I'm supposed to be a Hero...and now I've been reduced to this...!"
Tomura turned to Sadist. "Yeah, he's not fit for the League. Clearly, he's too unstable."
"Give him a chance, my boy." The old villain chuckled before whispering into his ear. "Besides, he'll make excellent use of what we have planned to help you."
Several of the students were still in the lodge defending it, alongside Vlad King.
"How do you think things are going out there?" Oujiro wondered.
"We haven't heard any need for critical rescue. I'd wager by now the villains outside are either captured or preparing for retreat." Tenya noted.
Flash then sniffed the air. "Hey, does anyone else smell smoke?"
Thinking quickly, Eijirou hardened himself just as a figure appeared in the door's window, creating a blast of blue fire.
"Look out!" Marco cried as Click turned into his Scarab Shield Form to deflect most of the flames to keep them off Eijirou.
Dabi smirked as he walked in, only to be pinned by Vlad King's [Blood Control] Quirk, the blood turning solid to trap Dabi against the wall.
"Guess it was pretty stupid of me to go by myself, huh?" Dabi chuckled. "But you've already lost, regardless of what happens. We have two of the Pussycats with us already and who knows, maybe we'll take one more before we leave."
Suddenly, Banananasher crashed through the ceiling and grew out his claws to pull Dabi free.
"Holy shit, I think I know that guy!" Denki cried. "That's Banananasher, one of Crimson Death's elite goons!"
"Daddy...?" Elleanor asked in surprise. "But he's in jail now..."
"Guess his henchmen found better work with the League now," Mina noted.
"I should have known you'd get yourself overwhelmed the second you left on your own." Banananasher scoffed. "Come, Dabi, we've already lost Muscular, we don't need to lose another powerful asset."
"I'm tickled pink." Dabi chuckled as Gonta leaped off, dashing into the trees. As soon as they disappeared, Aizawa arrived with Kota.
"What happened here?"
"One of the villains tried attacking. Of course, we held him off and he had to be rescued by one of his friends." Vlad King explained.
"That settles it then. I'll stay here with Kota. The rest of you hit the front lines. I want any villains that haven't already fled in custody by morning." Aizawa ordered.
"SIR, YES SIR!" The students said as one.
By now the Chainsaw Nomu had arrived to cover Spinner and Magne's escape. Ableblade and Kira's fight had also brought them into the same area, startling Mandalay and the Class 1-B students as Izuku and Katsuki arrived as well.
"I'd love to stay and play some more, brother, but I've got people I need to get back to!" Ableblade chuckled as he joined up with Spinner and Magne.
Suddenly, Twice was seen flying over the treetops, and from the angle he was in someone had launched him.
"That can't be good..." Magne said before magnetizing Twice to pull him toward her. "Twice, are you okay?"
"I got scrambled real good!" Twice said dizzily. "HA! Not a scratch on me!"
The Chainsaw Nomu stood in defense of the other villains. seeing this as their opening, the four fled as Ableblade gave Kira a mocking salute.
"Sorry brother. We'll continue this some other time!"
"YOSHIKAGE!" Kira shouted but it was too late.
"Kaachan, we need to take that Nomu down!" Izuku said as Katsuki grinned and nodded.
"Let's give this ugly son of a bitch everything we've got!"
They both pulled their arms back and lunged forward.
"DETROIT SMASH!"
"STUN GRENADE!"
Katsuki stunned the Chainsaw Nomu with a flashbang explosion while Izuku slammed the Nomu right in its face, downing it with one strike. Before it could get up, magical spears stabbed into it from every possible angle, courtesy of Twilight.
"Glad to see you showed up, Twilight!" Rainbow grinned. "But we had those chumps in the bag!"
"Good job, everyone. That certainly-" Mandalay said only to suddenly disappear, much to everyone's shock.
"Mandalay!"
"Apologies, but I believe you fell for the old 'Victory So Close At Hand' Trick!"
Everyone looked up to see Mr. Compress standing on the branches of the trees, holding two marbles between his fingers.
"What did you do to Mandalay, heathen?!" Ibara demanded.
"Oh, I swept the poor lady off her feet, of course!" Mr. Compress said as he juggled the two marbles. "It was also me who helped stage Ragdoll's disappearing act!"
"We won't let you get away with this!" Rarity snapped, sending out a wave of crystals only for Mr. Compress to jump out of the way and tip his hat as a Warp Gate appeared underneath him and teleported him away.
"NO!" Izuku cried.
"It's time for us to leave now!" Kurogiri said as he appeared, having also teleported Spinner, Magne, Twice, and Ableblade away. "Three Pussycats out of Four is more than an ample achievement considering the odds against us!"
"Hey, creep!"
"Who's there?" Kurogiri answered, looking for the source of the voice.
"Gotcha!"
Kurogiri was now locked up, having been caught in Hitoshi's [Brainwashing] as the boy himself rushed in.
"We couldn't save Mandalay...but we at least managed to catch the most troublesome member of the League," Reiko noted.
"You say that... but we have more than one Teleporter!"
Before anyone could react, Izuku felt a pair of hands wrap around him and turned to see Sliming Sadist grinning at him before pulling him into his pocket dimension.
"IZUKU!" Twilight screamed, only for a pair of arms to grab her legs and pull her down as well, courtesy of Monoma Neito.
"Monoma?!" Itsuka asked in shock.
"Surprised, my dear Kendo?" Monoma smirked. "This never would have happened had you not snuffed me out!"
"You son of a bitch!" Katsuki snarled as he lunged forward, only for Monoma to disappear with Twilight in tow. However, before she fully disappeared, Hitoshi threw something that stuck to her hair.
"TWILIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!" Pinkie screamed in despair, her normally poofy hair deflating like a balloon and going flat.
"Wait... d-did we just lose?" Tsuburaba asked helplessly.
Before long, emergency workers were called in, dousing the fires created by Dabi. Muscular and Moonfish were brought into custody, as were the Chainsaw Nomu and Kurogiri, still under Shinso's control.
"Hope is not lost. The marble Shinso tossed to Twilight before she was taken was from his Quirk Trial." Aizawa said. "It contains a GPS tracker inside, which is still active. Shinso saw the situation for what it was and decided to act in a way that might help us put an end to the League of Villains. Or at the very least whoever is backing them."
"There's also the problem with Monoma Neito." Present Mic added. "Apparently, we should have done a more thorough psychology test on him. He's gone full wacko and turned Villain because of how he felt stifled by the curriculum."
"The kid has the ego but none of the temperance." Midnight sighed. "We should have done a better job of reigning him in."
"I guess I'm partly to blame," Aizawa admitted. "The Quirk Assessment Test I gave my own class, Class 1-A. They were taking it instead of orientation. Given his psychological profile, he was probably under the mistaken impression that they were being given special treatment due to being a supposedly higher-ranked class."
"Sho..." Present Mic said, knowing what he was about to say next would only upset his best friend further. "I got in touch with the prescient earlier... Kurogiri is a Nomu himself."
"But he was so intelligent, not like those shambling mindless corpses!" Midnight pointed out.
"It's worse...he has the same DNA as Oboro... he was made from his corpse, Sho."
Aizawa's eyes widened at the realization. The teacher of 1-A was just about ready to collapse then and there before Toshinori and Celestia caught him.
"All For One has declared war on us. It's only fair we respond in kind." Toshinori growled. "The GPS signal is coming from the Kamino Ward. And we can be reasonably sure Young Midoriya and Twilight are still alive. The only thing left to do is plan how we're going to do this."
"It's time to end this... once and for all," Celestia said, her eyes narrowed dangerously as everyone swore the temperature was slowly rising up.
With Izuku and Twilight kidnapped, it fell to Momo and Tenya to lead the class for the time being.
"As we speak the teachers are organizing a team to raid the Kamino Ward. Since our friends are currently trapped there, we'll be going as well."
"There is something that needs to be addressed first regarding Izuku, however," Rarity pointed out.
"Oh yeah. Toga learned about [One For All], didn't she? When she morphed into Izu." Rainbow realized.
All of the other students were confused as Marco sighed and made a zipping motion with his mouth.
"What we are about to discuss should not leave this class under any circumstances. At least, not until the raid is over. Because once it is... It's likely the secret will no longer need to be kept."
The remaining Mane 5 and Marco explained the history of One For All and All For One, and how Izuku was the current user of the former.
"So that's why Midoriya's Quirk seemed so similar to All Might's-Kero," Tsuyu realized.
"I didn't even think it was possible for a Quirk to be passed on," Shoto said. "I thought the simpler solution, that Midoriya was secretly All-Might and Celestia's secret son, was the right one. But this..."
"Again with the lovechild nonsense?" Tony asked.
"We gotta save Midoriya and Twilight, even with how strong they are now, they can't possibly be ready to deal with the Ultimate Evil!" Minoru said in a panic.
"I doubt they will actually have to fight All For One himself, at least not yet," Tenya clarified. "More likely All-Might will intervene for a rematch. But Midoriya will have to face down Shigaraki again, that much is clear. And it'll fall on us to help him, and keep the rest of the League of Villains from causing havoc."
"He's right. We're supposed to be the next generation of heroes!" Flash said as he stood up. "Ultimately, the safety of this world will someday fall on us. And our teachers have decided there's no better time than the present to give us the experience we need to do it right."
"Twilight and Izuku would do the same for any of us in a heartbeat," Sunset said firmly. "Let's do this thing."
"So...guessing I'm going to where it all began, huh?" Tempest sighed as she stood up. "Figures I was gonna have to face my past sooner or later."
"Tempest... you were one of All For One's experiments, weren't you?" Derpy asked sadly, putting a hand on her shoulder.
"Like you wouldn't believe..." Tempest said. "It was only thanks to my original Quirk, [Willpower], that I didn't become another Nomu..."
"Well, either way...it's time to put a stop to the so-called 'Symbol of Evil'," Pinkie said in an uncharacteristically serious voice, her hair still flat and her eyes dull and lifeless. "Who wants to set up the party celebrating his death?"
"Pinkie..." Fluttershy worriedly said, having only seen Pinkie like this once before...
Three of the Wild Wild Pussycats have been kidnapped! Izuku and Twilight have as well! Banananasher didn't kill Dabi like in My Hero SCP! What's gonna happen next?!
[BIO TIME]
[Kenji Hikishi]
Villain Name: Magne
Quirk: Magnetism
Quirk Description: Magne is able to magnetize people around her, up to a 4.5-meter radius of herself at will. She can magnetize a person's entire body or specific portions. Once magnetized, the targets either attract or repel each other, depending on whether they're of the same sex or not. Men are polarized south and women are polarized north
[Atsuhiro Sako]
Villain Name: Mr. Compress
Quirk: Compression
Quirk Description: Mr. Compress is able to shrink anything inside a spherical area into a small marble without actually damaging it. The Quirk will affect anything that is found within a specific range of space around the intended target, including, for example, fire or pieces of the ground (the exception being Mr. Compress' own arm). The weight of the compressed objects is reduced considerably, making it possible to hide or carry them around. Mr. Compress is able to cancel his Quirk's effects on a single marble by wishing it or all his marbles at the same time by snapping his fingers, which causes the target(s) to turn back to their normal size alongside everything that was captured with them.
[Shuichi Iguchi]
Villain Name: Spinner
Quirk: Gecko
Quirk Description: Spinner has all the natural abilities of a gecko, including sticking onto walls and other sheer surfaces. His adherence is very strong, allowing him to cling to anything without falling off. He also has enhanced physical characteristics due to his nature as a Mutant-Type.
[Jin Bubaigawara]
Villain Name: Twice
Quirk: Double
Quirk Description: Twice is able to create a copy of anything, two at a time, through touch. He can produce replicas of anyone to provide support in numbers by creating a dark, viscous fluid from his hands that formed into the person in question. In order to conceive a perfect clone, Twice requires knowledge of precise measurements and physical features of the person or object he was replicating. His doubles possess the same personality and abilities as the original, making it hard to distinguish them from the real person at first glance.
