Izuku continued to work with Ujiko, turning in various quirks to him and getting paid in return. Izuku had managed to make a decent profit off the job and had grown quite strong from fighting so much, not to mention he started incorporating his work out routine once more and started building muscle.
Months passed, Izuku had bulked up significantly, with battle scars plastered all over his body. The boy had enough money to do whatever he wanted, be it buying clothes for himself, food, weapons, note books, etc. He was satisfied, but a feeling of needing more slowly but surely crept into Izuku's gut.
One day Izuku was called over to the bar to discuss something. The boy entered the dimly lit room, he removed his mask and looked at Shigaraki and Kurogiri who were staring at some sort of paper.
Izuku approached the two, looking over Shigaraki's shoulder to see what they were reading. It was a staff list for UA, and where they would be teaching class and at what time.
As expected, the villains were most concerned about All Might, who was in class 1-A, after lunch which was about 1:30 in the afternoon. Izuku analyzed the paper in greater detail, seeing which other teachers would be present.
Eraser Head, Ectoplasm, Midnight, Cementoss, Present Mic just to name a few, the head of their staff being principle Nezu.
"Well we know when and what class All Might is teaching. Now we need a perfect time, right?"
Izuku asked, glancing at Shigaraki for an answer.
"We have a spy enrolling at UA as we speak. He will tell us everything we need to know in due time."
The blue haired villain replied calmly, taking a quick sip of coffee.
"Master has already gathered a bunch of thugs and gangsters who wanted a piece of the action. After all if we're facing All Might we're going to need an advantage in numbers."
Shigaraki added, never once bothering to look Izuku's way, maybe a sign of subtle disrespect on his end.
"You've got that much right. Though I personally think we'll need more than just numbers. What about useful quirks? Villains who have a lot more experience? I can hire some on my own, if that's fine with you."
Izuku then said, looking back at the screen. The voice spoke up and replied.
"That sounds good. I expect to see positive results from your contribution, boy."
Izuku smiled and nodded respectfully, then looking back at Kurogiri and Shigaraki, then excusing himself and leaving the bar, putting his baklava back over his head and walking back to his apartment.
Over the next few days, Izuku spent time looking for and recruiting villains who got paid specifically for following orders and doing dirty work. Izuku took every hero into account, thinking of quirks that would counter them and put the heroes constantly on the backfoot.
Other villains that came into mind were ones that could provide tactical advantages, like crowd control, confusion and disruption, AOE, single target, far, close, everything.
During this duration of time, the league's spy had successfully enrolled into UA as the school year officially started. Izuku had been informed about the USJ, by Shigaraki. That's when they intended to do the raid.
Izuku had amassed and gotten into contact with roughly 20 different villains, Izuku set a time and a location for them to all meet up and discuss the plan together before D-day.
The plan was pretty simple. In the USJ there were several zones that simulated different disasters and environments that the students would try to save people in. The students would be seperated via Kurogiri's quirk, leaving the teachers, including All Might to be taken out first.
They would deploy the nomu and the combinations of quirks to counter the heroes, with one of Izuku's members being told to use their electricity quirk to cut off connections so nobody could communicate.
Keeping everybody isolated was the way to go for sure, since more heroes at the center field only meant more problems for the league of villains and their attempt to kill the symbol of peace.
As Izuku concluded his speech about their plans, one of the villains spoke up. The villain in question wore a hood over his head but was easy to identify by the grafted skin that went from the edges of his lips up to his ears, and down to the base of his neck, the large patch of skin had stitches lining it, giving the villain a Frankenstein look.
This was Dabi. From what Izuku could gather, he possessed the quirk blue flame which, big surprise allowed him to emmit blue flames out his body in a large AOE. It was quite efficient for crowd control, especially if someone slipped by and tried escaping the USJ.
"So, what exactly does a young guy like yourself have against All Might exactly? Aren't people your age s'posed to look up to heroes like him?"
Dabi asked, looking up at Izuku who stood up on a pedestal, the patchwork faced villain's piercing blue eyes showing themselves as his hoodie rode further up his head.
"Isn't it your job to listen and not ask questions?"
Izuku said in a sarcastic tone before answering.
"I am neutral about All Might. He crushed my dreams of being a quirkless hero, sure, but I should've expected him to say that... He does good deeds but I could care less wether he lives or dies. I'm simply working in collaboration with another villain organization that does hate him, and reaping the benefits."
Izuku explained, his reasoning seemed to quiet the villain down. Dabi just sinking back into the crowd with a sly smirk on his face, mumbling something under his breath.
"With that being said, you are to take orders from me and me only. Taking orders from anyone else will take a toll on your pay grade. You have been warned."
Izuku added, fully concluding his speech once and for all, letting the villains leave and prepare for D-day.
Izuku anticipated the day that he and the league would raid the USJ like a child on the night before Christmas. He had everything set in place and awaited the satisfaction of everything turning out in his favor.
Once the day came, Izuku was called up to the area he and everybody else would be meeting to get teleported to the USJ. Izuku had full coverings on, adorning all dark clothing and being armed to the teeth with knives and swords. He was bound to be drenched in sweat after all of this was said and done..
The legion of thugs walked through the large portal Kurogiri had made, eager and malicious faces flooded into the USJ before the more important players strolled in.
Izuku walked through the gate, looking around at his surroundings. Immediately, the thugs were getting destroyed by Eraser Head. Izuku whistled as he just watched for a second, amused at how incompetent the thugs were at combat.
"Kage, Sandman, you know what to do."
Izuku said, and with a snap of his fingers, two of his villains charged in towards Eraser Head, the former diving into the shadows to hide from the hero's sight, and the latter swimming in the sand in the area to move faster towards his target.
Aizawa huffed as he singlehandedly took on the legion of crooks. The erasure hero was experienced enough in combat and was doing a decent job at protecting his students. Though it was only a matter of time before stamina drained him of his ability to move and react.
As he was busy slamming a large metamorphic quirk user into the ground using his binding cloth, he felt a immense force drive into his neck as he was swiftly put into a rear naked choke.
In retaliation Aizawa swung his elbow back into the assailant's stomach. The hold loosened briefly but before the hero could react, he was pulled down, slammed to the ground and swamped in a mass of what seemed to be sand, effectively restraining and blinding him.
Thirteen watched in horror as Eraser Head had been taken out by only two villains. In an act of defense, and an attempt to protect the students, the capsule on her finger lifted, her black hole quirk being activated.
The sand villain felt the effects of the quirk first hand and the weight on Eraser Head's body slowly began getting lifted off as the villain drew nearer to the force. Though before he could be sucked in fully, a black mass, the same one that let the villain's into the USJ intercepted.
At first, the smoky villain was being overwhelmed by her quirk as well, but had hastily opened a portal to take the black hole and to Thirteen's horror, redirect it into her back.
Izuku smiled and watched proudly as his plan unfolded before him. He didn't even have to do anything! Though, as the sound of furious neck scratching flooded Izuku's ears, the boy knew something was wrong.
Izuku looked over at Shigaraki who was in a stressed and manic state. He was mumbling something under his breath but Izuku couldn't understand what he was saying.
"Is everything alright?"
Izuku asked the villain covered in hands. Shigaraki almost snapped his neck as he looked at Izuku, his eyes widened and blood shot with anger.
"All Might... He isn't here!"
Shigaraki explained. Izuku looked around once more, shocked as to how he didn't realize. He was so caught up in his own plan that he forgot about the whole reason as to why they were there in the first place.
"Hmm... You're right... Uh..."
Izuku was a bit dumbfounded, trying to take some time to think about how they should proceed.
"Guess we'll have to kill a few kids to draw All Might here..."
Shigaraki suggested, a malicious grin forming underneath the hand on his face.
"I suppose so."
Izuku uttered out as he looked over at his other villains, the group of which standing patiently as they waited to be told what to do.
"We'll continue our plans as before, but you, Aimbot, catch us a body or two, your quirk should be efficient enough for the job."
Izuku instructed, as Kurogiri came back from separating all of the students to the different areas.
"Anything else?"
Kurogiri asked, looking at Izuku.
"Yeah, warp my guy here to one of those places. He's going to kill a few students like Shigaraki suggested. Hopefully the urgency of the situation can get him here so the real action can start."
Izuku replied, Kurogiri obliged and made a warpgate for the villain to walk through.
Katsuki had been caught up in all this mess, only more annoyance to add on to the stress he had already been feeling lately. Not only from his everlasting quest with his mother to find out if Izuku was alive or not, but also from the revelation that Katsuki was no longer the strongest person in his class..
He was outsmarted and out powered by only two people, who got in on recommendations. That feeling of insuperiority really weighed down on the blonde boy's mood, resulting in him having an even hotter temper and higher aggression to hide his insecurities.
He and another classmate who he couldn't bother to remember the name of were teleported to one of the areas at the USJ. The one they were in was a dilapidated ruins with destroyed buildings and rubble everywhere. Villains surrounded him and the red haired student, as the two prepared for combat.
Despite the toll that Katsuki's life had taken on his mentality, he still trained and had plenty of combat experience to boot. The majority of the villains got practically one shot by him as it only took an explosion to the face to finish most of them off.
Though his and the other boy's win streak was soon interrupted by a seemingly stronger villain, as a thin and powerful blast of air was shot directly into the head of Katsuki's partner, the impact of which blasted him into some rubble.
Katsuki's heart skipped a beat as the overwhelming force took his partner down that easily. He wasn't dead because of his hardening quirk, but he was unconsious for sure, as blood dripped from his head.
The villain was nowhere to be seen though, that only showed that he was a lot more experienced. But Katsuki easily deduced the villain's location from the trajectory of the shot. He was hiding behind the building he was facing.
The blonde wouldn't dare go in towards the attacker since a point blank shot from that was bound to tear him in half. Katsuki grasped the pin on one of his gauntlets, thinking that if he could reciprocate that force and match the distance, he could win.
Even if it didn't make direct contact, the explosion was strong enough to knock the building down and allow him to escape with the other student safely. The explosive boy gritted his teeth and spread his feet out so he could brace for the recoil, unleashing the pin fully.
The blast eradicated the structures integrity as a whole as it collapsed from the top down, making a large pile of rubble, supposedly crushing the villain as a result. The impact of the explosion unleashing knocked Katsuki back even with all of the bracing he did. He fell butt first into some dirt.
Katsuki looked onward at the cloud of dust, hoping to God that he was dead or gone. Cause no way in hell he could last in a prolonged fight with that guy... Just then, a sharp pain spiked in Katsuki's stomach. Blood gushed from his mouth and he looked down in horror as a hole was made in his stomach.
"Son of a... Gahhh!"
Katsuki yelled in pain as he covered his side up, removing his utility belt and wrapping it around his wound to act as a half hazard turnicate. He then stood up, his legs shaking as blood loss had already taken a toll on his body.
Katsuki decided that the first thing he would do is contact someone for help but the communications connection was shut off. In a panic, Katsuki rushed over to his peer in order to retrieve his unconsious body.
"A true hunter... Never misses its mark~"
The voice sung out. Katsuki turned around, aiming a hand at the source of the voice in a pitiful act of defense. He analyzed the villain's very appearance, his body resembled that of a robot. It was hard to tell if he was an actual human or some advanced tech made to kill things.
He had a canon shaped arm pointed at Katsuki as the two faced off in a stalemate, waiting for the other to act. Katsuki was the first. He saw no other choice since it was either do or die in this situation.
He used his quirk to quickly propel himself into the air, rapidly emitting explosions from his hands to change the direction he was going at all times in hopes to avoid any shots coming his way. He slowly drew in closer until BANG!
Katsuki's right hand flew off from one of the shots, and then his left foot. He didn't feel his limbs being ripped from his body as he was in shock from the blood loss earlier. His body was living on a fight response, as he resisted death at all costs.
The first people to actually make it to the center were a boy with white armor, who sped by using some engine quirk, which gave him pipe exhausts on his calves. He was followed by a boy who went at a similar speed, skating on ice. He had white hair and a white suit, half of his body was covered in what seemed to be ice.
"Dabi, block the entrance."
Izuku instructed as the patchwork villain unleashed a tsunami of flame at the entrance, blocking it off entirely. The white armored student slid to a halt as he stared at the fire. The white haired boy did the same, the two then stared back at Dabi, noticing he was the source of the fire.
The white haired boy attempted to put the fire out using his ice quirk, but he was interrupted by a flaming front kick to his chest, knocking the student down as a result, winding him.
The boy in Iron clad armor charged in with an enhanced kick as the exhausts from his calves ignited at full force. The kick made its mark, slamming viciously into his cheek. The impact of the kick sent Dabi flying and sliding across the floor like a ragdoll.
The ice boy recovered from the kick, wiping the spit from his mouth, then attempting to put out the blue flames once more. He succeeded in doing so.
"Speed Demon, Snapshot, after them."
Izuku ordered, as Snapshot raised his hands and framed them like a camera, which froze the two students in place briefly as a result. Speed Demon then blitzed both of them with his super speed quirk, delivering a powerful blow to each which knocked them both out.
Just as the two villains thought they had gotten their job done, the burnt door was shoved open by an invisible force. They tried to stop who or whatever it was but it was impossible for Snapshot to use his quirk on something invisible, and Speed Demon had an irrational fear of ghosts and was stopped in his tracks.
"Son of a..."
Izuku cursed under his breath as a student managed to escape. It was only a matter of time before they came back with the entire school staff on their ass... Luckily Izuku had prepared for this as he had a counter for all of their quirks.
"DIE GOD DAMNIT!"
Katsuki screamed as he launched a counter blast to another shot which dug directly into his right shoulder. His life was flashing before his eyes as he struggled to fight back against his opponent.
A horrid miasma of regret flooded over him as he thought of Izuku. All he could say in his head was sorry for all that he's done. But he knew that would never undo the damages he has caused.
The villain dodged the blast with finesse, only stumbling a little from the shockwave. A sadistic laugh escaped the villain's lips as he enjoyed watching Katsuki struggle for his life.
Just as the villain was about to finish Katsuki off, his next and last shot was intercepted. The shot was taken head on by... All Might?!
The bullet of air pierced the hero's side. He coughed blood as a result. He grabbed Katsuki and put him under his arm, before landing a Delaware Smash on the villain, the wind force alone knocking him out.
Katsuki, knowing he could rest easy in the arms of All Might let his guard down and began to slip in and out of consiousness.
"Everything will be okay..."
Katsuki mumbled to himself as his vision faded to black.
Toshinori grunted as the pain of the air blast reigned supreme over his nervous system, waves of pain shooting throughout his whole body as he entered hero mode.
He dived down and grabbed young Kirishima's unconsious body before heading to somewhere safe for them to be tended to.
Toshinori had already managed to defeat most of the villains in all of the areas. He cursed himself as this was the last area he visited. If he came sooner young Bakugo wouldn't be in as bad shape as he was...
Still, there was no time for self hate. He had a job to do...
He landed in a crater of his own making, placing the two boys down gently. Toshinori removed his tie and wrapped it tightly around Bakugo's bleeding wrist. He then instructed the other students present to tend to their wounds while he fought.
Toshinori despised putting all of this pressure on the students, but he had no choice... He watched briefly as young Todoroki hastily applied heat to Bakugo's wounds in order to cautarize them. He then sped off to the central battlefield, facing all of the other villains down.
"Nomu... kill All Might."
Shigaraki instructed the Nomu who had been standing dormant the entire time until now...
