Ikumi swallowed anxiously, staring at the Villains downstairs. Next to her, Kirishima looked stunned. "Villains here? W-what kind of Villains'd be dumb enough to attack U.A?!"

Yaoyorozu looked at Thirteen desperately. "Thirteen, aren't there intruder sensors here?"

"Y-yes, we should be hearing them right now-"

"Or the Villains cut them off," Todoroki's voice cut through the air. His eyes narrowed. "I'd say they're just attacking here though - they knew there'd be less people here. It's better planned than it seems."

Ikumi's heart leapt into her mouth. They want All Might here, don't they… Why would they want that?

Aizawa-sensei turned to look at them, that scarf of his starting to rise and coil in the air. "Thirteen, begin the evacuation! They must have an electrical Quirk here that's cutting the sensors. Kaminari!" He jerked when Aizawa spoke. "Try to use your Quirk to signal for help."

"G-got it!" Kaminari managed to stammer out.

Ikumi gasped. "Y-your fighting style is more focused on quick, decisive strikes backed up with your Quirk! Y-you can't take on all these fighters-"

"No competent Hero is a one trick pony," Aizawa sensei drawled. "Thirteen! Start moving!" And with that, he leapt down to the plaza, and Ikumi couldn't help but watch as he went to town on them.

"E-even when he's so badly outnumbered, he's able to fight them so easily…" she breathed as he moved, effortlessly defeating a four armed fighter with rocky skin. The Villains in the main plaza hung back, none of them wanting to engage in close quarters combat with Eraserhead, the Pro Hero lashing out at any Villain that so much as moved towards the class.

"Midoriya! This is no time for analysis!" Iida shouted, and she shook herself. Right, she couldn't afford to watch!

"Come on, students!" Thirteen ushered them away, Ikumi quickly charging forwards. Ikumi just had to hope that Eraserhead could hold out long enough to get help. She cast a look over at where Eraserhead was fighting -

Her eyes widened in fear at what she saw, or rather what she didn't. Where had the mist man gone-

"I am afraid I cannot let you escape, students." The black and purple mist surrounded them, blocking their escape. "Good day, students," he stated in an echoing, pleasant tone. "We are the League of Villains. Please forgive our audacity, but we have come here today to kill All Might, the Symbol of Peace."

Her breath caught in her throat. And looking at her classmates, she wasn't the only one.

—

Mina's eyes were wide. If she hadn't known about All Might's condition, then she might have been able to shrug it off. But since she knew about his injury and that he didn't have much time at full power… Whatever scheme they had could work.

Apparently unaware or uncaring of the fear they were feeling, the Mist Villain continued talking. "We expected All Might to be here, but it seems he isn't. Did he change his schedule?" After a second, he shook his head, Thirteen opening a finger on her glove. "It doesn't change my role-"

Pink lightning arcing around her, Mina charged in with Bakugou and Kirishima. "EAT SHIT!" Bakugou yelled, a mighty BOOM emphasising his point. Kirishima and her struck at the same time, her fist surrounded by an acidic coating that protected her hand from the heat of Bakugou's explosion.

Kirishima grinned, Mina joining him. "Didn't expect that, didya-"

Her grin faded when his misty head came back into view. "Guh… That was close. You children are a cut above the rest, aren't you?"

Black-purple mist sprung around her classmates. Barely thinking, Mina leapt back to try and run out of his mist or protect a classmate-

"Writhe in torment until you breathe your very last, students. Try not to die when you're in my Quirk, I don't particularly want to clean up the mess," the Villain hissed.

Panicked shouts sprung up from the rest of the class. Thirteen quickly slammed the finger of her glove shut, and the rest of the class stood there, frozen. Midoriya gestured at Iida frantically. "Try and run for it, Iida-"

Mina tried to jump back again, but it was too late. Blackness consumed her and, when she could see clearly again, she was surrounded by flames. A Villain loomed over her, grinning. Then Ojiro spun nearby and slammed his tail into his midsection.

"Nice move Ojiro!" She gave him a thumbs up, before One for All sparked once again. She shot a jet of high pressure acid into a Villain charging at him. As the Villain shrieked at getting what was basically a fire hoses' worth of acid smashing into him, she gestured to Ojiro. "Let's get outta here!"

She hoped the rest of her class was okay. Particularly Kirishima - hopefully he was with Bakugou since they seemed to have hit it off.

—

Katsuki briefly stumbled, then regained his footing. Next to him, Shitty Hair braced, teeth grit. "Dammit! I thought we had him!"

He snorted, watching the Villains around them. "Tch. Guess we gotta try harder next time." A Villain, apparently emboldened, decided to charge only for Katsuki to bash him with his gauntleted arm. "Anyway, gotta fight now!"

"Got it!" Shitty Hair's rock hard fist slammed into another Villain's jaw, knocking them down with a single hit.

Katuski grinned, readying himself as Villains charged in. A tiny part of him expressed concern for Midori but he pushed it down - after all, she was his friend. No way these two bit Villains could threaten her.

—

Tsuyu was briefly stunned for a second when she hit the water. Then the reality of the situation hit her and she shot through the water. If she had been warped here by that Villain, other students might have been brought here as well. Used to the aquatic conditions, she spotted Mineta flailing in the water, a stream of bubbles pouring from his mouth as he tried to swim up.

Shooting over, she grabbed him, looking for other students. A huge splash behind her and she twisted, seeing Midoriya plummet through the water. She quickly started to swim over to Midoriya, but the larger girl had managed to recover and was starting to swim back to the surface.

A shark Villain grinned at Midoriya. "Say goodbye, kid-" Tsuyu nodded with satisfaction as Midoriya lashed out with a punch that sent the Villain spiralling backwards, leaving Midoriya free to make it to the surface.

Trying to keep an eye behind her, Tsuyu rocketed back to the surface, heading for the ship. Midoriya surfaced later, gasping as she grabbed the ladder.

"Need a hand, Midoriya?"

"Ah - yes, thank you Asui." Midoriya hauled herself out of the water as quickly as she could, grabbing Tsuyu's hand for what small support Tsuyu could give her.

"Please, call me Tsuyu, kero," she told Midoriya as the much larger girl got on board.

Mineta coughed up a mouthful of water. "T-thank you, Asui- Tsuyu!" He amended upon seeing her give him a look.

"Don't thank me just yet. We're not in a good spot, Midoriya," she croaked. Tsuyu really hoped that they only had to deal with one Villain in the water, but that would have been too easy.

Mineta went pale. "So… They did that whole media invasion thing yesterday?!"

"It's the only explanation we've got," Midoriya stated shakily. "They planned this carefully… And they only got tripped up because All Might had to deal with paperwork at his office."

Mineta laughed shakily. "But - there's no way they could kill All Might! I-I mean, he's All Might! When he gets here, he'll take them all out in a second!"

Tsuyu shook her head, an anxious expression on her face. "True, but they wouldn't have gathered all of these people here if they didn't have a way to kill him. They have to have some weapon or Quirk that would work."

His face fell. Tsuyu felt pretty bad about stating something so bluntly but it had to be done. "Not to mention, even if All Might gets an alert, who's to say that we can hold out long enough for him to get here?"

With that, Mineta let out a manic giggle. "How much worse can this get?!"

After that statement, a series of splashes from the lake came. Looking over the railings, they could see a whole host of water themed Villains. One of them, the shark Villain, seemed particularly agitated.

"Oh, there's more of them," Mineta stated shakily.

—

Across the various parts of the USJ, Villains jeered as Hero kids got warped to their locations. A few, however, carefully slipped near their less human looking colleagues. While this was nerve-wracking work, it had to be done.

Making those with cursed blood show their undeniable true nature was more important than their own lives. They had already pushed down their distaste and disgust at having to work alongside them. Syringes were primed, watching for an opportunity.

Not all of them were able to find a suitable Creature, though. The agent in the landslide zone didn't even have the opportunity to take it out of his pocket before the ice hit him and a scar-faced boy started to interrogate them.

But in the flood zone, one of them decided to make the situation a bit bloodier. Plus, it would take out two Creatures at once, so there wasn't any downside he could find. His hand slipped towards Sharkyonara…

—

Ikumi took a deep breath. She really, truly wanted to find some reason why the League of Villains was doing this but for the moment she couldn't think about that. "If… If there's even a chance that they can take out All Might, then we have to fight!"

Mineta stared at her. "HOW ARE YOU SO FREAKING CALM?! I MEAN, THEY SAID THEY WANT TO KILL ALL MIGHT AND YOU WANNA FIGHT EM?! THAT'S JUST INSANE!"

"I know it's terrifying Mineta, but we have a chance!" Ikumi shot back. "Look, they clearly planned around having suitable Quirks for each Zone, but they warped Tsuyu here! So I don't think they know what our Quirks are-"

A wordless bellow of rage interrupted her train of thought. Whipping around, her eyes widened as she saw the Shark Villain from before roaring, his pupils shrunk to pinpricks of pure rage. A Villain near to him tried to back up, only for him to swipe down their chest, practically tearing him in half.

The Villains around him swore, backing away with disgusted and horrified looks on their faces. Unheeding, the shark Villain snarled, red eyes focused on them. With a feral growl, he shot towards them, focused on Ikumi. Mineta screamed shrilly as he shot out of the water, jaws opened with saliva foaming around his lips-

Ikumi took a deep breath, feeling Dragonframe flow into and around her before grabbing him as he charged, barely keeping his snapping jaws from her face. Dragonframe flowed from her arms and over the struggling Villain, and she managed to spin him around, howling with rage at being denied. "M-Mineta!" She cried, barely managing to pin his arms as he thrashed.

Mineta blinked, then he nodded. Hastily he threw Pop Off at the Villain, balls sticking in spite of the water that clung to his frame. The Villain, still howling, scrabbled madly at the shorter boy only for Pop Off's balls to stick to his arms and legs, locking them in place.

Ikumi nodded, then sucked in a deep breath.

—

Minoru cheered as he saw Midoriya's fire impact the side of the Shark Villain with a massive BWOOMPH of fire, sending the Shark Villain flying in the opposite direction, still struggling to remove the purple balls pinning his limbs in place.

He watched, wide-eyed, as the Shark Villain crashed into the lake. "Holy…" He breathed, just impressed at how far she'd sent him. Even though Minoru knew Midoriya was crazy strong, seeing that was just… unreal.

Then his face split into a grin. "T-that was so cool Midoriya! You just took him out!" Then he took a look at her face and froze.

Midoriya was shaking in place, trying to look confident but failing. Minoru looked at her anxiously as she tried to regain her confidence. "I-I did it…" she breathed.

"You alright, Midoriya?" Minoru asked. Because, sure, seeing Midoriya in action was hot, but right now they were surrounded by Villains and he was finding it a bit hard to think of a plan beyond 'don't die'. But he couldn't back down, not when he knew that Midoriya was as scared as he was.

She nodded, then took a deep breath. "I'm fine. Just… going to try and get us out of here."

Minoru looked at Midoriya with a confused look on his face. "What are you going to-"

Midoriya loomed over the railing. "ANYBODY ELSE WANT TO FIGHT?!" She roared, glaring at the assembled Villains with her ears folding back. As one, the Villains flinched back. "COME TRY IT!"

"Y-Yeah!" Minoru backed her up, pulling a Pop Off Ball from his head and jumping onto the railing. "Or do ya want a taste of our Quirks?! Your buddy sure didn'!" Tsuyu leant against a railing, arms crossed and glaring out to match Midoriya.

Inwardly he prayed. Please work, please work, please work-!

The Villains looked at her, then at where the Shark Villain had landed. As one, they fled, backing far away from them.

"Nice one, Minoru," Tsuyu commented, offering a hand. "Get on my back, kero."

"Got it," he managed, quickly clambering on while his heart jackhammered in his chest. "Okay, that was the most terrifying thing I've ever done."

"Let's go, Tsuyu, Mineta. I-I don't think they're going to come back, but I don't want to risk it," Midoriya said, gearing up to get in the water.

"Get ready, Mineta."

As she shot towards the shore and Midoriya dived through the water, he sighed in relief, clinging tightly to Tsuyu's shoulders. It wasn't long before they hit the shore line, watching the main plaza.

Minoru glanced over at the class president. "...So, what's the plan?"

"Plan?" Midoriya hummed. "W-well, we should try and get back to the gate…" she focused back on their teacher as he fought. "But Eraserhead can't fight all these Villains forever."

"M-Midoriya, please tell me you're not planning to jump in like that…" Minoru pleaded.

Midoriya shook her head. "No. Just… If we can find an opening to help sensei, we-we should take it."

Minoru looked over at Tsuyu, then let out a shaky breath. "Y-yeah. Maybe."

While they'd only stopped one Villain, it didn't seem like they were going to get attacked anytime soon. Though that Shark Villain going feral like that… Was he on Trigger or something?

—

Eijiro panted for breath, looking over at Bakugou as he shook his hands. "Looks like that's all of 'em in this building," Bakugou sucked in a deep breath. "Damn bunch of mooks."

Eijirou grimaced, pointing to the door. "Alright! We gotta go help the others! If we're here, then they've gotta be in the USJ as well-"

A ferocious scream interrupted that thought. Eijiro looked outside and his eyes widened upon seeing some guy with a dinosaur Quirk fighting a couple of Villains. Blood stained his hands, a couple of Villains trying to back away with huge claw wounds over their arms and torsos. "Wait, they're… fighting each other?"

"Could be Trigger or some shit," Bakugou glared. "Like in Kamino a few years ago."

Eijirou hummed, then winced when the Villains trying to fight back got injured. The Dinosaur Villain flung one of them through a building, his victim trying to get back up then falling back. "Guy looks worse than that. Looks like he's even more pissed off than those guys in Kamino."

Bakugou looked down, then shook his head. "Look, let's get outta here and take out that mist guy! That's the most important guy here!"

He couldn't help but level a flat look at Bakugou. "Dude, he can teleport-"

A louder scream came from below. A Villain was staring, open mouthed as the Dinosaur guy loomed over them, jaws salivating and about to crunch down on the Villain's head. Bakugou took one look at the situation and his eyes widened. "Fucking-"

Eijirou yelled and charged after Bakugou as he rocketed out of the building. Hurrying down the stairs, he saw Bakugou slam into the dinosaur guy with the force of a small missile before launching another explosion at the prone Villain, knocking him into another building.

The Villain he'd saved took one look at his saviour and promptly passed out. Bakugou dusted himself off angrily. "Can't fucking believe I saved a Villain," he groused. "Midori'd never let me hear the end of it if I just let a Villain die."

Eijirou sighed. "Yeah, that'd be pretty bad."

Bakugou scoffed. "Anyway, what are you worried about?! If all they're sending after us are," he suddenly twisted and slammed a chameleon Villain who had snuck up on them into the ground, making Eijirou jump, "these chumps… we should be fine."

He couldn't help but grin as Bakugou stood back up, dusting his hands off. "You know, you're awfully calm all of a sudden, Bakugou."

Eijirou couldn't help but grin slightly as Bakugou glared at him. "I'M ALWAYS CALM, SHITTY HAIR!"

—

Tomura scratched his neck ferociously as he watched Eraserhead tear through the mooks he'd brought. Admittedly, he wasn't exactly stressing about the manpower since he had Noumu and Krugori by his side to take out the Symbol of Peace, but it was still disheartening. Was this really the best quality of party members he could recruit?

Eraserhead executed another combo and his mental countdown finished. "Twenty-three seconds," he hissed. Yep, it had definitely gotten shorter.

Sure, Eraserhead seemed like an impossible boss, especially since he could turn Quirks off by glaring at people. But Tomura had played enough games to know that to beat a boss, you had to learn their patterns, find their weak points. And unlike in video games, when you got somebody to half health in real life they didn't get stronger or develop new attacks - they tended to slow down.

"What're you talking about?" Eraserhead managed, already throwing his Capture Weapon out to slam a mook into the ground. Out of the corner of his eye, Tomura spotted some Villain sneaking towards the four armed guy who had tried and failed to take out Eraserhead - some sort of friendship deal? Whatever.

Tomura grinned as he ran in, seeing his path. "See, here's the thing, Eraserhead. I don't know where you're looking due to those goggles of yours, but I can tell when your Quirk turns on and off. When you turn it on your hair floats up, right? So cool."

Eraserhead charged in, throwing out that Capture Weapon to try and catch him. Tomura grabbed it, watching the Hero's face.

A guttural roar sounded from behind him. Tomura paused, annoyed that somebody was interrupting his strategy and monologue. "What the hell is it?" He rasped.

—

The small-time Villain stared at the four-armed, rock-skinned Creature as it roared, its eyes bloodshot. His legs had given out under him, terrified. The Great Shepherd had said that it would unleash the true nature of the Creature he injected, showing them for what they were. He had thought that injecting the Villain while he was unconscious and attention wasn't on him was a good idea.

Whatever the serum had in it was potent, considering that the Creature was up and roaring, eyes bloodshot. He had known that Creatures were worse than animals, but seeing the truth of the world up close was terrifying. Horrific.

Snarling, it turned around, and he realised that he was in its way. His legs locked up in fear as it bore down on him, despite his desperate desire to get away. And the last thing that went through his head was its fist.

—

Tomura stared as his four-armed mook, who he had thought was knocked out by Eraserhead ages ago, punched another mook in the head, smashing his skull open like an egg. His other Villains screamed in horror but Tomura had seen worse - done worse. "What the hell was that? Why are you team killing?"

The rocky guy with four arms roared, his fist covered in blood. He then turned to the other Villains, snarling like a rabid dog. The rest of the Villains backed away, faces anxious as he flailed around angrily, roaring louder. Even Eraserhead was looking at the scene with his mouth open, but not so distracted he couldn't dodge a Villain trying to sneak attack him.

One of his Villains asked, shakily, "Is he on Trigger? Fucking-"

Snarling, the rocky guy charged at another guy at the same time as Eraserhead launched an attack on Tomura. Tomura was forced to back up and start his count again, watching and waiting for Erasure to drop so he could take this frustrating Pro Hero out.

"Boss, we need help!" A mook cried as the rock guy with four arms started swinging. He threw up some kind of earth wall but that barely phased the hulking brute. Another Villain threw a knife at the rampaging teamkiller, accomplishing nothing more than attracting the guy's attention.

"Duly noted, but a little busy at the moment!" Tomura rasped, lunging at Eraserhead. "See, I think I got your pattern down. You finish a combo and then turn off Erasure, right? Well…"

Eraserhead hissed in pain as his elbow crumbled. "Looks like your interval's been getting shorter and shorter!"

The Hero punched him in the gut to force him away and his elbow stopped disappearing. But Tomura was pretty happy with the results. "What did you think was gonna happen, huh?! I mean, you're a Rogue with lots of burst damage! Why go and fight a huge group-"

More screams sounded from his men, and Tomura sighed. Well, he couldn't have this team-killing fucktard kill more of his team members and distracting him from Eraserhead. Whatever this shit was, he was not having it interfere with his plan to kill All Might and these worthless Hero students. "Excuse me, Eraserhead."

He snapped his fingers, pointing at the rampaging Villain. "Noumu, deal with him."

Noumu stared at him dully, then it moved.

—

Eraserhead nearly swore when he saw that brute - Noumu? - by the side of the main Villain attack. One second it was standing, eyes vacant. The next, its hand was on the rampaging Villain's head. It stared at the Villain dully, as he roared and flailed in Noumu's grip.

Eraserhead had a horrible feeling about what it would do. Just before he looked away and slammed his hands on his ears, he saw Noumu's hand twitch. Then:

CRUNCH.

The hand covered Villain sighed as his large minion threw the headless body away, blood and bits of bone on its hand. "I really wanted to keep him in reserve longer. But then that Villain had to start killing my men for no reason."

Eraserhead stared at this newest Villain, already firing up Erasure. He knew he was at his limit already, and the only thing he could hope for was that he could hold out until help arrived. But in the face of a Villain like this… He didn't have much hope.

The hand covered Villain's grin widened. "Eraserhead? Meet Noumu, the actual boss."

AN: After agonising about so many things in it, I decided to unleash this chapter. While I want it to be perfect, I also have to release it at some point.

So! For the most part I've stuck with the stations of canon, with the exception of moving Mina to the Flame Zone where she can pal around with Ojiro. Hopefully I've added enough differences to make it entertaining.

It seems that we've seen some more dangerous Villain attacks in this part. Hopefully this won't be a trend for all the fights here. And it's also a bit unfortunate that most CRC members weren't able to get away from rampaging Villains.

Hopefully this is enough action for now. More is to come in the next chapter!

As always, thank you Banchoking on Spacebattles for editing my crap. Don't forget to leave a like or comment telling me what works and what doesn't!

Not just that, but please check my Discord. I've set up a channel for discussion on this fic, linked here: /ZzsQM3CE2t.

Next time, Noumu Rumble.
