"Eraserhead, you claim it's for the students safety. But in the middle of it all, you urged the students themselves to fight." Another reporter stood and presented their statement, reading off their notes. "What were your intentions, at that point?"
"This is why the media are a pain..." Aizawa groaned.
"Since we had no way of grasping the full nature of the situation, I made that decision in an attempt to avoid the worst-case scenario." Aizawa said calmly while Vlad was getting nervous getting asked harder questions by the reporters.
Vlad sighed, "for someone who hates the spotlight, you seem doing better than I am." He looked at his colleague.
"This is why I don't want to deal with the press but I'm a teacher with an important job." Aizawa said.
"Worst-case scenario?" The reporter was miffed, "how else would you describe a situation where 27 were wounded and 2 kidnapped?"
"How bad could it have gone?" Kaminari asked.
"Let's see: they could've killed all of you, crippled you all so you can never become heroes ever again, kidnapped you and experiment you all to become nomus and the list goes on." Yuumi said.
"Sorry I asked."
"At the moment, the worst case I could imagine involved the death of my students." Aizawa said firmly, "it became clear that the gas responsible for most of the harm was a villain's quirk-- 1 with a sporofic effect, Kendo and Tetsutetsu's quick thinking minimize the damage. The students have all received psychological evaluations, and none seem to have suffered emotional trauma."
"Until now, Your all getting therapy after this." Hound dog said and turned to Joanne, "were going to need some time so they can rest easy."
"I understand." Joanne agreed.
"Is that meant to be a silver lining?" The reporter demanded to such question.
"we believe that the worst has been avoided as long as the students still have futures." Aizawa said.
"Can you say the same about Bakugo, who was abducted? He won your sports festival, he struggled valiantly against a powerful villain during the sludge incident. His impressive record implies the making of a tough hero, yet he showed a rather violent side of himself after his festival victory. An attitude that persisted up through the awards ceremony, we've already caught glimpses here and there of his mental instability."
"I wanted a fucking fair fight! And that sludge villain could've killed me and deku had to fucking save me!" Katsuki shouted in anger.
Aizawa had a heated scowl, "and let us not forget about Dragoon. Yes, a fine Samaritan to the public, in their aids against villainy. But has become quite the trouble maker with the laws. Especially the fact she has searched out stain, wounded, and was saved by the no. 2 hero, Endeavour, in the end. Showing that her recklessness can very well effect others around her, What if she doing this to go against the government by breaking these laws? What if it was those very qualities that made them a target? What if a skilled manipulator gets to them and sends them down a path of evil? Can you provide proof that as you say that those 2 still have a future?"
Everyone in the room was pissed, "I'm gonna find that fucking reporter and murder him..." Katsuki growled.
"Do guilds have these types of problems?" Sir nighteye asked.
"No... if a guild member becomes evil, it will be the guild master to decide what to do with the member before they are sent to court to the grand magic council. Wizards and mages can be corrupted and possessed but turning evil depends on who raised them or the environment they live in." Natasha explained.
"Who the hell is this guy sprouting things about Koyuki! She'll never become evil!" Natsu growled and on fire.
"aye!" happy agreed.
"our media is mostly focused on drama and popularity rates." Lucy said, "it's not always on politics and accusations."
"the media in that world is bias..." Stella said.
Aizawa stood up with a dark look glaring down at the reporter but he bowed his head low, "any lapse in their behaviour is my failing. Still, Bakugo behaved that way at the sports festival because he has such strong convictions and ideal. And Dragoon has the character to bare responsibility more than she can carry, yet still bares through such situations. More than anyone, they pursue the title of top hero with everything they got." 'Even though she's actually a mage who doesn't need a title but earned it.' He thought, "if the villains have mistaken that for a weakness, then their thought process is indeed superficial."
Everyone clapped for Aizawa, fairy tail had smiles and applauded as well. "He may be lazy but he knows his students, but he does needs to take it more seriously." Erza said glaring and Aizawa felt a shiver down his spine.
"At least they have a good teacher, unlike in middle school." Mitsuki said and Inko agreed.
The reporters and news companies started to chatter amongst themselves, "That doesn't sound like proof of anything, the boy's emotional state and girl's action aside, do you have a concrete counter strategy?" The same reporter asked.
"Excuse me for asking this, but why haven't you assigned your son for anger management?" Kimiko asked.
"Because I would have to put my wife into anger management as well." Masaru answered.
"Masaru." Mitsuki looked at her husband.
"Dear, I love you. But Katsuki is always angry, while you can control your anger, every time you and him argue it sometimes gets out of hand. Katsuki doesn't know how to control his anger fully, he lashes out to others for no apparent reason while you lash at him because he was disrespecting you. I think it's time for both of you to get anger management before its too late." Mitsuki didn't like it but agreed.
"I mean, Gajeel can be angry sometimes. Maybe he can learn from him." Stella said.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Gajeel asked.
"That your tough and cool headed sometimes."
"I'm cool headed all the time!"
"No your not." Fairy tail said.
"We're hardly approaching this passively." Nezu said, "currently, I am personally cooperating with the police in their on going investigation. Make no mistake, we will retrieve the students who were taken from us."
In the villain's bar, "good ol' U.A, thanks for sticking up for us..." Katsuki smirked lifting the mage on his back more, seeing her twitch slightly. Slumped still on his back with slightly opened eyes, 'hang in there, frozo. I'll get us fucking outta here, if it's the last fucking thing I do...' He thought snarling towards the watching villains; mostly to the frozen Shigaraki, who looked to the fallen hand. "Get it now fuckers!! Just so you fucking know, technically I've still got permission to fight back!!" Ruby orbs swirl in rage, "and I won't hold back." Poised for any close movement from the villains, while holding the silverette up on his back protectively.
"Bakubro, Your kinda surrounded." Kirishima said sweating.
"I can fucking take them!" Bakugo shouted.
'like a cornered lion...' Joanne thought.
"This boy really seems to understand his position, clever little thing." Magne said.
"Can I stab him?" Toga asked childishly.
"No, you idiot." Dabi said.
"If it's you're attitude, then why not just pretend that we'd won you over? I don't understand." Compress asked.
"If I'm not feeling something, I ain't gonna lie about it." Katsuki huffed out glancing back and forth to toga and Kurogiri, then back to Shigaraki. "And I'm in no mood to hang around this motherfucking shit for a 2nd longer!"
Kurogiri tensed and moved, "you mustn't Shigaraki! Calm yourself--" he was cut off by a raised hand.
"Just stay back, all of you." Shigaraki said stumbling to the fallen grayed hand, gently lifting it up carefully with 4 fingers; not allowing his pinky. "This kid is an important pawn." Kurogiri looked surprised, "I wish you would've listened, I thought we might understand each other." Katsuki just gave him a harsh glare of disgust, "What A shame, we all just heard about heroes investigation. So I can't waste much time trying to convince you." He turned to the static screen, "master, lend me your power."
"Very well, a smart choice, tomura Shigaraki." Said a deep voice.
"That's him... isn't it?" Izuku said trembling.
"All for one..." all might growled.
Back with Izuku and friends, Momo was leading them to the location using a tracker. "So this is their hideout?" Kirishima hummed in surprise, "I'd buy that!"
Momo turned to them, "we can't be sure, but I've been checking and the villains haven't moved from here all day." She said in concern then became serious, "just because the villains are here doesn't necessarily mean Bakugo and Koyuki-chan are too, I need you all to realize that we're standing here now based on very limited information." They looked nervous and a little sweaty.
"Information is information, whether it's false or just a rumour." Aizawa said.
"None of us are suited to stealth missions like jiro and hagakure." Tenya inputted, "so I'm stopping this at the 1st hint of danger, because you're my friends and a relative of a friend. And I won't hesitate to notify the authorities."
Daisy sweatdrop, 'though Koyuki and I aren't related, he's not wrong that we're family.' She thought.
Izuku agreed and thanked him, he breathe calmly. "Just give me a minute to think about what we can actually do." He began to mutter, conjuring and evaluating any form of plan and how it may be debunked or countered in worst case scenario.
Nezu had an idea to take Midoriya under his wing, all might shivered in fear.
"The old mutter thing, It's been a while." Kirishima said.
"How like you, Midoriya." Momo watched the greenette nervously.
Daisy sweatdrop, "Koyuki's not wrong, you kinda act like levy and Lucy when they're so focused on figuring out a puzzle or clue."
"Are there other smart members in fairy tail?" Momo asked.
"Yes, but they focus on something different." Joanne answered.
They scouted more around the perimeter, "no lights on, doesn't feel like anyone's home." Kirishima said.
"Hide a tree in the forest, right? They've made it look like an abandon warehouse." Shoto relayed, Izuku was still muttering until they were called out by 2 drunks giggling excitedly and wanted Momo to join them. Izuku and Tenya tried to act intimidating.
"What the fuck was that?" Katsuki yelled.
"That's very poor acting." Tokoyami said.
"I couldn't understand what you were trying to say." Mashiruo said.
"That's what you call acting?" Monoma laughed like a maniac, "That was the stupidest form of acting I've ever seen!"
"I'll play with you~" daisy butted in, smiling cheerily even with the gob smacked reactions from the teens. She fumbled something out of her pocket and pulled it out, she pressed the buttons and holded out 2 tasers. The drunks were now scared, bowed and apologize fearfully. They ran off afterwards.
"Ummm... why does she have tasers?" Sato asked.
"I think my mom provided her with it." Izuku said.
Izuku blinked in surprise and turned to daisy, "I don't remember seeing those weapons around home? When did you get them, daisy?" He asked.
Daisy turned away, "Your mom bought me pepper spray and Koyuki bought me 2 tasers, as she puts it: the spray for safety and the tasers for good measures."
"Oh wow, That is extra cautious." Kendo said.
"Good measures?" Tetsutetsu said confused.
"Oh..." Izuku proceed to continue muttering while the others just gawk at daisy, "It's not super crowded, but people do pass by here often."
"How can we do this without attracting attention?" Momo asked.
"Let's try to get around back, I know we're in the dark here. But this is all we've got to go on." Shoto said, they squeeze into the small alleyway by the warehouse. Though struggled greatly through the tight space, Momo had a problem with that.
Momo was kinda embarrassed, "been there, done that." Midnight said casually, a lot of teachers face Palm.
"Meh, mine are bigger." Cana said casually.
"This is why I wear armor." Erza said.
"We can't make a move until we know for sure it's safe." The greenette informed them, not glancing back. "At least no one can spot us here..." his eyes searched around and saw the window above, "up there, That window. We should be able to peek inside."
"Won't it be to dark to see anything?" The chrome teen pointed out, Momo was about to suggest to use her quirk to create something but Kirishima got them covered with his own night vision goggles. Izuku pointed out and gawk that the model was at least ¥ 55,000 but Kirishima reassured him it's alright.
"Fuck! Shitty hair you didn't had to fucking but that!" Katsuki shouted.
"Well, when we get back we can prevent that situation from happening." Kirishima said.
"Alright, then... Iida and I will lift Midoriya and Kirishima up to the window, daisy will be look out." Shoto said and they shuffled around getting the 2 up on their shoulders, Momo whining about the tight space and Tenya warning that they'll need room to escape. Shoto telling to move a bit, "What can you see, Kirishima?" He asked, "What's going on up there?"
Kirishima fumbled a bit to look around the window and almost tripped back in horror, "Kirishima?!" They all fretted at such reaction the teen gave out along with a frightened curse.
"What is it? What'd you see, Kirishima?!"
"On the left!" Kirishima handed the night vision to Izuku quickly with shaking hands, "Midoriya! Check the left side in the back!"
Izuku took the item and looked through the lenses, he tensed in sheer horror at what he saw. "No way! They're just sitting there like that?!" His sight trembling due to his hands shaking, "those're all the nomu!" Yes a warehouse full of them.
"Wait, is that the place they create them?" Gran torino asked.
"No, It's on another location. I'll give it to you later." Joanne answered.
Katsuki tched, shuffling a bit. 'so he's not the big boss...' He thought.
"Kurogiri, compress." the voice said, "Let's put him to sleep again."
Katsuki almost readied to run, he grasped onto Koyuki. "... Kat.. suki..." she muttered.
"Koyuki-chan..." almost everyone was devastated at Koyuki's state especially Yuga who feels sick to his stomach.
"I'm actually impressed by how unwilling he is to listen to reason." the voice really got to Katsuki, "maybe val's teaching wasn't enough." He teased evilly making Katsuki look very terrified, he poised like a threatened cat.
"Fuck you..." Katsuki growled.
Then there was a knock from the door and someone announced it was pizza delivery, they all froze in confused shock. And like a cannon, the walls were smashed from the villain's right. The shock of the explosive bang and flying debris hit everywhere, few toppled in shock or dodged the giant figure that caused the damage. It happened so quickly, Shigaraki was about to order Kurogiri but kumai woods spring in and whipped his wooded vines towards all the villains within the room. Dabi tried to burn the wood, but a figure zoomed by him and knocked him unconscious.
"Wow, It's kumai woods and this old guy." Tetsutetsu said.
"What!?" Gran torino shouted in anger, "I'm a hero brat! Gran torino!"
"I've never actually heard of you." Ibara said.
All Might praised kumai woods and Gran torino, the angered blonde walk in. "There's no escape for you, league of villains. Why, you ask?! Because we are here!" The villains were shocked at the sight of the heroes there.
"Wow look at all the heroes who volunteered to rescue Bakugo and Dragoon." Shoda said.
"1 must never neglect defence, especially when attacked." A voice said as the doors slide open and the special forces came in, "kamino pizza is more than just those of us here, endeavour's out there, along with some other skilled heroes and police. You're surrounded."
It was no surprise Endeavour was there because of reasons.
All Might was about to say something but the moment he looked at Bakugo and Dragoon... burning rage pulsed within him, he was very angry. Koyuki was on Katsuki's back bloody and beaten, she was shakenly breathing and wheezing every 5 seconds with difficulty. New Orleans dry blood on her chipped lips, her left eye and cheeks swollen, her once long silver-white tresses was nothing but tuffs of messy hair. Cuts and bruises littered her face, arms and legs. A terrible stab wounds, 'she's been through hell!' He shouted in his thoughts, Bakugo didn't look any better with sunken dark eyes. Dried tear stains, he looked awfully tensed and ready to run from here with the silverette. Even though he was surrounded by heroes and police, his form was not relaxing or relieved. 'He must've witnessed them torturing young Dragoon... forced him to watch!'
"You are very much angry." Sir nighteye said.
"Of course I am! I never wanted the students to witness or experience this!"
"You can't shelter them from kidnapping and torture experience, this maybe an experience you'll have to learn cope." Joanne said.
"Who did this...!" He tightened his fist to the point a vein was pulsing angrily, another pulsed on his temple. "WHO DID THIS TO MY STUDENTS!!"
"He almost reminds me of you master, when phantom Lord attacked fairy tail." Mirajane said.
"I suppose." Macarov nodded.
Many of the heroes outside and those in all Might's group flinched back at the shear rage in his voice, kumai looked at the students and paled drastically at Koyuki's beaten state. "Dragoon..."
"This is inhumane... the poor girl..." Gran torino was mortified, 'did they do this to her? Tortured the poor girl and forced the young lad to witness it through? These sick monsters of a human being!'
'There's evil everywhere even from other worlds.' Gran torino winced.
"You villains have gone too far...!" A police officer growled.
Shigaraki smiled, "though I don't like them, they have fun ways of teaching kids these days." He said playfully.
1 police officer snapped out of it and took out his walkie-talkie, "request ambulance! IMMEDIATELY!!"
"Yes, sir!" From the other line.
'why is he doing this!?' All Might thought, 'who are you, tomura Shigaraki?'
Izuku and the group watched the heroes come to the warehouse and stopped all the nomus, Mt. Lady brought her leg high up and smashed the car with explosive force. The teens were dazed by the whirlwinds that knocked them off their feets, "What happened?" Tenya asked, they quickly scattered and gawk at the sight of top heroes immobilizing the nomus. Kirishima pointed out every top hero and Momo pointed out tiger is there as well.
'i can't believe his actually there.' Katsuki thought seeing best jeanist.
"Wait, why is tiger there?" Juzo asked.
"Well, rag doll was also kidnapped." Joanne answered.
"WHAT!!?" Everyone shouted.
"But why? Why her?" Midnight asked.
"What's her quirk." Joanne said.
"It's search: she can locate someone and find... their... weakness..." Izuku realized in horror.
"All for one wants that quirk." Everyone was horrified.
Mt. Lady was whining about the nomus, "isn't it strange for a job to be easy, jeanist? Guess I should've gone with all Might's team."
"Brat..." midnight muttered.
"She's such a diva." Cana said drinking a barrel of wine, the my hero academia group watched wide eyed.
"You must learn to distinguish between difficult and important, you novice." Best jeanist reprimanded, "riot squad, bring in the iron maidens. And do it quickly!" Tiger's voice was muffled from another building.
Bakugo was surprised best jeanist act very differently, during his internship he talked about public relations and looking better but in that situation he was focused and doing his job.
Tenya turned to the others, "see? The pro heroes were able to take necessary action faster than we could!" He sighed in relief, "we should leave now--"
"We found the students!!..." the speaker of the walkie-talkie said loudly.
The students looked relieved, "did you hear that Izuku! They found them--!" Daisy was cut off by the next words.
"-- but we'll need immediate medical assistance! Repeat, 1 of the students is in need of medical assistance immediately!!"
They froze stiff and had a dreaded look, 'what?' Shoto thought.
'Are they panicking?' Tenya thought.
'Why do they need a medic?' Momo thought.
'What's going on over there with all might?' Both Izuku and daisy thought.
Everyone was still trying to cope on last chapter.
"Medical... assistance..." Izuku uttered out, 'which of the 2!?' He thought terrified.
"Which 1!? Which 1!?" Daisy asked scared, Momo tried to calm her down.
"Which 1?" The unite spoke from dispatch.
"Student's name: Dragoon Koyuki, the villains tortured the girl and we're in need of a medic, NOW!!" The person at the other end sounded panicked.
Tenya and Momo paled at their words, Momo snapped at the sound of daisy's whimpers and had to comfort her.
Kirishima clasped his shirt, shoto's eyes were wide and sweated, Izuku shakenly covered his mouth, not wanting to peep out a sound of distress. Emerald orbs wide in complete horror, tearing up in sheer dread and terror. 'Koyuki!!'
