"I can't believe it was so easy. Just jump in when no one's looking and bam, instant child. And they said these were the troublesome ones." Ibara heard the masked villain speak as they dare to lay a hand on her angel! "I honestly expected more of a fight, not that I'm complaining."

"Be careful with them alright, one of them seems super cool." The villainess spoke seriously.

"Of course, they're going to join us, aren't they? We don't want to give a bad impression."

"You lost that opportunity the moment you showed your ugly mugs!" Setsuna shouted, her hand flying straight at the villain.

"I thought you said they were All Might durable!?" The masked man shouted, jumping back.

"I can make them durable or big, not both." The vile demon shrugged.

"So you're vulnerable right now? Good." Todoroki fired ice in their direction, and the villains began scattering. "Give us Iruma and Bakugo, and I'll consider not leaving you permanent ice statues."

"Doesn't exactly sound very heroic of you." The villains smirked. "Guess Tomura had a point. Well, see ya later, new best friends! I'll be sure to take care of Iruma-kins while he's with us!"

"Get back here you bitch!" Her and the two girls in question tried to catch up, her vines not moving efficiently with the cold.

"Well you see!" The masked man came out from behind the glacier. "I'm terrible at combat, so I'm going to run now! Sorry the curtains must fall so soon!" He shouted, jumping from tree to tree like the coward he was.

"We need to move fast!" Uraraka looked both furious and terrified. "If they get to Kurogiri there's no catching them!"

"Bakugo and Iruma were the most mobile ones." Todoroki started. "We need something creative."

"Let's see, what do we have.." Hagakure asked, looking at everyone present. "Alright, We're going to fly, cavalry battle style. Ochako, you use your quirk to lighten our weight while Todoroki launches us using his ice, Tokage, you're the only flier, so you'll be keeping us steady when we're in the air."

Setsuna nodded. "Ibara, get your vines into position, we need a slingshot for maximum starting thrust. Ronove, run with Tokoyami, we're going to need all the muscle we can get but we can't overstrain Uraraka mid flight." Showing of her recommendation status already.

"Huddle up, position now!" Hagakure began shoving everyone into a tight ball.

"Ronove hasn't seen one so passionate to help someone since Little Ronvoe's assistant." The demon she was forced to work with at the moment said out loud. It ate her up on the inside to do so, but now wasn't the time to argue with her angel in danger.

She was still coming to terms with 'the cross doesn't work', as that shouldn't be possible with god's grace. But that could be focused on when her angel was safe. "Three …" She placed her vines on the trees, pulling tight. "Two …" Uraraka began touching them all, she could feel gravity leave. "One …" Todoroki began creating flames. "RELEASE!"

Mandalay panted, exhaustion showing. Any time she tried to land a hit the magnet villain messed up her momentum, or the lizard one swung his blade to intercept. This was just a terrible situation all around. The team was separated and they had no idea how many villains were in the area, or how many students had encountered one.

Worst of all, Muscular, the bastard that destroyed Kota's, her only living family member, life was on the loose somewhere. She hated to think what would happen if they actually came across each other. Hero or not, she wouldn't let the bastard live if he touched a single hair on her nephew. "What even is your goal!?" She shouted, dodging another attack. "Killing heros because you hate them?"

"No, we're showing the how incompetent you heroes are." The stain rip off spoke. "Showing them that you're not safe no matter how hard the villains move, that the only option is a world where freedom and unity combined runs free."

"Sounds more like anarchy." Tiger was in a stalemate brawl with Magne.

"Anarchy is better than this fucked up society you heroes want to protect." The magnet one agreed. "People are only supportive of your transition because you're pros. You even had enough money for a surgery. What about people like us?"

"You have a long list of murders to your name, you don't get to complain about your life!"

"They were all guys who called me girly wimp. They deserved to die!" Never be said villains were the smartest people out in the world.

"Enough." A tired and familiar gruff voice came in, and sure enough, it was Aizawa who came rushing in, his goggles on his face, ready for a full fight if needed.

"Can we handle EraserHead?" The buff one asked.

The lizard looked like he was ready to respond, but paused and pressed his ear. "Don't have to, targets acquired." WHAT!? "All three of them actually, looks like one of you fake cats is coming for the ride."

"WHO DO YOU HAVE!?" She shouted, leaping at them, ready to claw at their necks, only for a blue glow to encase the lizard villain, the larger one grabbing him as suddenly they were flown deep into the forest. "Aizawa, what's going on?! Who are they after?!"

"I've only gotten word of it not too long ago. According to Kota, the villains are specifically after Bakugo and Suzuki."

"Kota? He's okay?" She asked, relief in her heart.

"He's fine..apparently Muscular found the spot he was hiding in, but Suzuki saved him…not without breaking his arms in the process however."

"Suzuki … saved him." And now he was heavily injured, and captured. "We need to go after them, if they escape it's over."

"It's not." Spoke up Yaoyorozu, coming into the clearing. "I gave Awase a tracker and had him weld it onto the unconscious Nomu when we reached camp. If it's taken for repairs we'll know where they are."

"Great job, Yaoyorozu. You did well." Aizawa nodded. "Head to the remedial center and recuperate. We'll handle everything else from here." Yes, they'd save them. Like heroes were meant to.

'This wasn't happening, this had to be a dream, please let it be a dream!' Aoyama thought to himself as the group sat worried. Students came into the room one by one to escape the calamity occurring outside, not that they could stop such an act."

"Do you think everyone's fine?" Shoji asked, more worried than he'd ever seen. "The last time we got attacked, Aizawa got seriously hurt."

"He'll be fine, he's manly enough to get them." Kirishima spoke up with a smile of hope. That shouldn't be there. There shouldn't be hope for this room. There was no hope, not with that… monster looming over their heads.

"Are you sure we shouldn't be doing something else Vlad-sensei?" Sato asked, Monoma giving a twitch at the name. "Like, help students from the front?"

"No." The man bluntly stated. "You may have the experience, but as long as you're our students your job ISN'T to actively engage in villain attacks. Now's not the time to be reckless." Not that it matters, the villains would get what they wanted tonight, and there wasn't anything they could do about it.

"Oh, that's gotta be someone else right?" Jiro asked, with the other students, looking at the door as a shadow came closer.

"No, stand back!" The teacher shouted as the room was flooded with flames. A man covered in burns came inside, looking around.

"Lets see lets see … you're a pro right?" The man aimed his hand at Vlad. "No restraint." And gave a savage grin.

"Glad we agree." The teacher let himself bleed, shaping and hardening his own blood into blades and engaged the villain. Fire and blood began spreading all over the room, each blow making it all the more clear to Aoyoma he had crossed the point of no return.

"Your gonna get anemia at this rate pro, just surrender to the flames, dying is easier than-" The villain was cut off … literally, a desk crashed into his face with enough force to blow it off his body. Everyone stared at the body, slowly turning to the short gray haired student from 1-B.

"I … didn't mean to hit him that hard … I just wanted to distract him." He spoke timidly. Makes sense when you accidentally decapitate a man.

"There's no blood, only mud." Vlad-sensei clarified. "It wasn't real. Still, I advise not interfering in the middle of a fight between a hero and a pro. Otherwise, good job." The boy soaked up the praise with sparkly eyes. "There could be clones all over, everyone be on the lookout."

"Yes Sensei!" Everyone responded eagerly. Even he did, mustering as much 'eagerness' as possible, even though it wouldn't matter.

If they beat a million clones, it wouldn't matter.

If they put the villains away, it wouldn't matter.

He still betrayed all his friends…he was still nothing but a villainous scumbag.

Compress, rudely, was hit with a group of toddlers as he fell into the clearing. "My back … so much agony." He growled out. "All the pain."

"Give us back our friends or so help me I will rip you asunder!" The invisible girl screamed, holding his neck tightly. Not the way he thought the night was gonna go.

"Look at that, a group of adorable kids! They're all super ugly!" That seemed to get the children pinning him down to at least look up, noticing the group of villains in front of them. "Hello there children, we're the League. Nice to meet you. I hate them already."

"What the.." The Todoroki kid looked confused, and they couldn't blame them.

"Don't worry about him, he's crazy." Dabi spoke up, raising his hand. "Worry about me, I'm crazier." And the man proved this by BLASTING THEM WITH FLAMES! Compressing himself was all he could do to avoid the absolute agony of heat and death. It was so unpleasant. Sure, it was an easy get away trick, but still too close for comfort.

"Do you ever aim where you're firing?!" Compress asked the arsonist.

"Of course I do, I just took a coin flip you'd survive." The bastard. "Now come on, keep some kids at bay."

"If you think we're just gonna stand back you can dream on." The lizard girl rushed at him, only to be covered by a pink glow, soon being dragged into Todoroki, the only boy there.

"Sorry we're late, outran some kitty cats." Mange came back, magnetless. "You got the targets?"

"Easily!" Compress explained. "The boy's are right in my pockets while Ragdoll was drag away by one of our Nomu." He patted his pocket.."What the…?"

"You mean these things!?" The invisible girl held two marbles up. "I saw what your quirk did to them, so I figured you had them hidden somewhere on you!"

"Clever little minx aren't you?" He chuckled. "However, that makes you a target for my associates." He gestured to the rest of them.

Toga giggled, rushing at her. "Fighting over Iruma-kins, we really are girls in love!" The blood suker swung her knife around at the invisible one. "Don't you think he'd like this? Getting close and intimate as blood drips down your head? It matches so well with his busted arms!"

"Suddenly, I'm getting the strangest case of Deja Vu." Kiriwo snickered as he placed a barrier around the group, preventing them from escaping their sight.

"Like bugs in a cage." Dabi sent forth fire, barely blocked by the ice of Todoroki. "How much longer till they lose steam and die out, I wonder?" They weren't supposed to kill them, moron.

"Not until we leave with our friends!" Such determined little children, weren't they? "What makes you think you can get them to join you to begin with!?" The round headed girl yelled.

"I thought it was obvious for the Bakugo kid. So much anger and aggression in one little package, perfect for our cause." Compress explained. "As for the other kid … we have a little friend up top, interested in his quirk."

Todoroki seemed to flicker with genuine fear for a second, before he doubled down on his efforts, firing both fire and ice at the same time in an attempt to defend and break the now cracking barrier. It really was big or strong wasn't it?

"You're five minutes past the signal. What's taking so long?" Kurogiri decided to pop up, opening multiple warps.

"We've been at the spot, you were supposed to show up here." Dabi spoke up with a shrug. "Did you recover the Nomu?"

"Contained, now bring the targets in."

"Well it's time to go I suppose." Compress tapped his cane to the ground. "Kiriwo, be a dear and let them go. They've been so determined after all."

"The girl still has the marbles."

"Ah yes, the marbles." He smiled at the invisible girl. "Let's see what's in the mystery box, shall we?" He snapped his finger, the balls expanding … into icicles. "It's amazing what the slight of hand can let one achieve."

"What the.." The girl looked absolutely horrified, probably.

"I may be a villain, but my true pride is as a performer." He coughed into his hands, and revealed the marbles that actually contained the targets.

"We can't let them get away!" Todoroki gave a running start, only to be cut off by flames.

"Not today, number two brat." Dabi sent a smirk

He stopped just at the moment of hitting the warp, turning back. "And a final bow for my audience." He gave a deep bow, leaning forward with grace-and his hand was hit with a vine from underground.

"UNHAND MY ANGEL!" Uggh, teenage romance. Too much drama.

A short blue glow was shown, and in a second one of the marbles put the masked villain onto the ground, hitting a rock and cracking. Iruma was lucky, he had to be. It was that comment, that one comment that had Todoroki more worried than anything he heard all night.

'We have a little friend on top…interested in his quirk.' He didn't get the full details from Iruma, but there was a strong chance that the villain One For All was made to fight, this 'All Forty One', was incharge of the League and attempting to steal Iruma's quirk. "Iruma, run! They're after your quirk!"

"What!?" Iruma freaked out, and tried to get up, struggling to stand properly with his arms still broken everywhere.

"Hurry, before they catch up!" He heard the girls shout as he ran forward.

"No, don't go yet, we just started to know each other!" The villainess whined. "Please don't go!" DAMN IT!

"Okay!" Iruma naively stopped instinctively.

"Iruma, please don't listen to her!" Ochako used Iruma's trigger, hopefully getting him to stop listening. "I'm begging you, keep running!"

"Okay!" Yes! Those triggers were still a fucking pain, but they could work with this! He just needed to grab him and he'll be safe! All For One won't take his quirk, he wouldn't die…

BANG

They were cut off by the invisible wall, Iruma grabbed by the glasses villain. "So close, yet so far." He spoke with a disturbing smile. "Your despair is adorable." No! He tried to melt it, to burn away this wall. "But sadly our time is short, come now Iruma, the nightmare awaits."

"What about my friends?" Please, for once in your life, realize you're in danger!

"Oh, I'm sure they'll suffer later." Iruma, realizing the situation was really desperate, tried to struggle, tried to do anything, but his arms wouldn't respond. He could see desperation in his eyes … the last thing as the boy vanished inside of the inky abyss.

"No…." He felt all the strength get sapped out of him. He failed… "No…"

'Whatever happens, we don't blame ourselves if someone fails. Promise?' He … couldn't keep that promise.

"IRUMA-KUN!" Hagakure cried broken heartedly, as did Ibara and Ochako.

"BAKUGO! IRUMA!" Tokoyami came by a second later, eyes wide as he stared at the area. "We're…we're too late…"

"They're gone."
