Goodbye Nabu.
A couple of days after the arduous battle, Yamikumo, Dabi, Toga and Twice are still in Nabu. – "Do you really have to leave?" - Katsuma asked Yamikumo who still had several bandages on his body.
- "Unfortunately yes, we have accomplished what we came here for and it is our moment to leave."- Yamikumo said.
- "But don't worry about us, we'll be fine."- Toga said as she helps Mahoro with her hair. – "Done!"-
Mahoro's hair is now styled the same as Toga's, in two messy buns, with numerous wild strands sticking out.
- "Thank you big sis!"- Mahoro said. - "At least this way I'll have something to remember you…"-
- "Don't be sad about our departure...be happy that this happened!"- Twice said. – "Or was it the other way around?"-
- "Too much sentimentality will make me throw up…"- Dabi said, although in reality he was a little sad, he really got attached to Katsuma.
At that moment an elderly man approaches. – "Here are our heroes."- He said.
- "Mayor…"- Yamikumo said.
- "I heard that you are leaving the island today."- The Mayor said.
- "Yes, we have finished our duty here and now it is time to leave."- Yamikumo said. – "I'm sorry we can't stay to help repair the damage..."-
- "You have already done too much for us."- The mayor said. – "Plus... a little call and we can have a few heroes from Japan here to help us rebuild."-
- "Heroes..."- Dabi said.
- "Don't worry about anything... until you leave we won't call anyone."- The mayor said.
- "We appreciate that but... how will you explain what happened?" – Yamikumo asked. – "How will you do it so as not to mention us?"-
- "I don't know what you're talking about..."- The mayor said. – "Some villains attacked us and we hid in the bunker, by the time everything happened the villains had been defeated by unknown people that we never saw."-
- "I see..."- Yamikumo said smiling, the rest of his companions also smiled at this.
- "That's smart."- Dabi said.
- "Even so... in the name of Nabu and all its inhabitants..."- The mayor kneels and bows. – "We will never forget what you did for us... your names will be something we will treasure as a secret forever... but you will always have our gratitude."-
- "I… We appreciate that."- Yamikumo said.
- "It's the first time I've been thanked for something like this..."- Toga said to Dabi and Twice. – "I like it."-
- "Same."- Twice said.
- "Yeah… I hear you."- Dabi said.
- "Just one more question... how are you going to return to Japan?"- The mayor asked.
- "We have our way."- Yamikumo said.
At that, the four remember how they got here in the first place and their faces change to one of displeasure.
- "Great…"-
- "I can't wait to return..."-
- "Gross…"-
- "Hmm... I see that it is not to your liking... if you want I can offer you return transportation, we will get you to Japan without being noticed."- The mayor said. – "We will provide you with a driver, and food and drinks for your trip."-
- "Well…"- Yamikumo said but then Dabi, Toga and Twice surround him.
- "Accept the deal!"- Twice said.
- "I don't care about anything else; I'm not going back inside that thing!"- Dabi said.
- "Please accept the deal, coming here was horrible!"- Toga said.
Yamikumo sighs. - "Fine…"- Yamikumo said. – "We accept your offer."-
- "Perfect!"- The mayor said. – "I'll go make sure the boat is ready as soon as possible."-
- "Thanks."- Yamikumo said. – "Meanwhile..."- Yamikumo turns to look at Dabi. – "Toya… Will you finally explain to us what happened to you?"-
- "It was the brat."- Dabi said pointing at Katsuma. – "After my fight with Chimera the brat healed me of all my wounds."-
- "It's the least I could do!"- Katsuma said.
- "And for that I thank you."- Dabi said. – "I want to see those bastards' faces when they see me like this! I won't try to hide my identity anymore!" -
- "And what about your Hikari-chan?"- Twice asked. – "It looks like you can now use the quirks of the people you transform into."-
- "Yes, now I can use the quirks of the people I transform into but only if they are special to me."- Toga said. – "That's why I can use all of yours!"-
- "Be careful with the fire when you transform into me... my body is not good at withstanding so much fire."- Dabi said.
- "You will be my last resort."- Toga said.
- "Big sis...can you all play with us for a while before you leave?"- Mahoro asked.
Toga and the others look at Yamikumo who sighs. - "Okay... as long as we're here but when we have to leave we'll leave."-
- "Yes!"- Mahoro said.
- "Let's go Mahoro-chan!"- Toga said as she takes Mahoro's hand and the two run away.
Katsuma looks at Dabi. - "Okay... but I don't do this for pleasure!"- Dabi said as he follows Katsuma who follows Toga and Mahoro.

A few hours later.
All the inhabitants of Nabu are gathered at the port to say goodbye to those who saved them.
– "Have a good trip!"-
- "Don't hesitate to come back if you wish!"-
- "You are all welcome here!" –
- "Thank you very much mayor."- Yamikumo said while shaking the mayor's hand.
- "It's the least I could do for you."- The mayor said.
- "Where are Mahoro-chan and Katsuma-kun?"- Toga asked. – "We haven't said goodbye to them yet..."-
- "They probably won't come... they must be very sad to come, it's obvious that they don't want to see you leave."- The mayor said.
- "A shame... but I guess it's logical."- Twice said.
- "Whatever…"- Dabi said.
- "Well... it's time to go."- Yamikumo said.
- "When you order it!"- The captain of the ship said.
The boat itself is a good size and has enough food and drinks for the trip.
- "Welll…"- Yamikumo said but…
- "Wait!"- Mahoro and Katsuma said as they arrived.
– "You can't leave yet!"- Katsuma said. – "We haven't said goodbye yet!"-
- "And there is something we want to give you!"- Mahoro said.
- "Mahoro-chan, Katsuma-kun!"- Yamikumo said.
- "Before you go please accept this!"- Mahoro said as she reveals that she has four bracelets in her hands. – "We made them for you!"-
The bracelets are quite simple but each one has a small metal piece with names engraved on them.
Mahoro gives Yamikumo a green bracelet, the metal has the name Izuku engraved with the kanji for fire (⽕).
- "Thank you."- Yamikumo said.
Dabi's is blue and has the name Toya engraved next to the kanji for blue (青).
- "That's a nice touch of you... I guess."- Dabi said.
Twice's is gray with the name Yuji engraved on it and the kanji for copy (写).
- "I appreciate it!"- Twice said.
Finally, Toga's is red and has the name Hikari engraved next to the kanji for blood. (血).
- "Mahoro-chan... thank you very much!"- Toga said while hugging the girl. – "I will treasure it for the rest of my life!" –
- "Before you go... can you take a photo with us?!"- Katsuma said. - "I promise I won't show it to anyone who isn't from Nabu!"-
- "A photo…"- Yamikumo asked.
- "We want to have something to remember you!"- Katsuma said.
- "Fine... but you better not show it to anyone who doesn't know about us."- Yamikumo said.
- "I promise!"- Katsuma said.
Katsuma hands the camera to the mayor and the six of them position themselves for the photo.
Yamikumo in the center, to his right is Katsuma who is smiling, to his left is Toga who has Mahoro next to her, Twice is on the far left doing a strange pose and Dabi on the far right with his back turned with his arms crossed but turning to look at the camera.
- "Everyone say... Nabu!"-
- "Nabu!"-
The photo is taken and the four finally board the ship.
- "Big Sis Hikari! Big Bro Toya! Uncle Yuji, Big Bro Izuku! Thanks for everything!"- Katsuma said. – "Someday I will become someone like you!"-
- "We will miss you!"- Mahoro said. – "But don't worry about us! We will be fine!"-
At the same time Yamikumo, Toga, Dabi and Twice wave goodbye to Mahoro and Katsuma, those two children really made them take a liking to them.

A few hours later.
- "So... we did it, huh?"- Dabi said while drinking a beer.
- "Indeed, we did it and now we are stronger than before!"- Twice said, he is also drinking a beer.
- "It feels weird to be doing this with all of you..."- Yamikumo said, he is drinking a soft drink. – "But I'm not complaining."-
The three of them are sitting in the chairs of the ship, Twice looks towards the stern of the ship and sees Toga sitting on it. - "She's been quiet since we left."- He said.
- "I'll talk to her."- To Twice and Yamikumo's surprise, Dabi was the one who said that.
Dabi gets up and walks over to Toga. – "Why the long face?" – Dabi asked.
- "Oh... I'm just thinking..."- Toga said.
- "Something in particular?"- Dabi said sitting next to Toga.
- "About how people treated us in Nabu..."- Toga said. – "They were kind to us and others saw us as role models..."-
- "Our mission benefited them... so it makes sense that they see us that way."- Dabi said.
- "It's not that... seeing how those people saw us, how they thanked us..."- Toga looks at Dabi with a smile, but this smile is different from hers, this is a sincere smile, plus a few tears fall from Toga's eyes. – "That made me feel very happy!"-
Dabi is slightly surprised and a slight blush appears on his cheeks when he sees Toga's smile, he smiles. - "Please don't tell me that now you want to be a hero."- He said jokingly.
- "Of course not... it's just..."- Toga's smile grew. – "This is the society I want to live in, where I am treated like a normal person, where I can be me without being criticized!"-
Dabi smiles affectionately. - "Yeah... I guess that's a society worth living in."- He said.
After this they both didn't say anything else, however they weren't uncomfortable, the two are enjoying each other's presence, without realizing it Toga leans on Dabi's shoulder, who doesn't do anything to avoid it either.
- "Would you look at that…"- Yamikumo said as he and Twice look towards Dabi and Toga. – "Big bad bug got a big of a soft spot."-
- "Indeed."- Twice said. – "By the way... now that we're both here... I want to thank you."-
- "Thank me? For what?"- Yamikumo asked.
- "When I fought against Mummy I remembered your words and thanks to that I realized that I am the real one..."- Twice said. – "I finally know who I am and it's partly thanks to you..."-
- "Oh... don't worry... I couldn't let you suffer like that either."- Yamikumo said.
- "We may have met recently... but that didn't stop you from trying to help me and for that you have my thanks."- Twice said. – "There are few people who I consider a true friend... Toga-chan, Dabi... they are the closest thing to a family that I have... but... I don't care what you think, but for me you already are part of that small group."-
- "I…"- Yamikumo doesn't know what to say, Twice caught him completely by surprise with those words. – "Thank you... and for the record... I don't think you're a truly bad person... just misunderstood."-
- "Thanks…"- Twice said.

Japan.
H.P.S.C. offices.
- "Nabu was attacked?!"- The president of the commission asked in shock.
- "Yes, apparently Nabu was attacked by a group of villains and now they are asking us for help to rebuild."- Hawks said.
- "And what happened to the villains who attacked?"- The president asked.
- "That's the strange thing... according to reports from civilians, a group of villains attacked the island, everyone took refuge in a special bunker, but by the time it was over they were surprised that the group of villains that attacked had been completely defeated."- Hawks said. – "It was confirmed that there was conflict due to signs of battle... but it is not known who defeated the villains."-
- "Maybe Nabu's heroes?"- The president asked.
- "Impossible, there is only one hero agency in Nabu and it is not prepared to defend itself from a villain attack, this is because no villain has ever attacked before."- Hawks said. – "Whoever was there must have been from outside Nabu."-
- "Maybe some heroes who were on vacation?"- The president said.
- "Possible but... there is something that makes me doubt..."- Hawks said. – "If they were heroes who defeated the villains... why would they kill them?"-
- "Kill?"-
- "Yes, the death of the four members of the villain group was confirmed." – Hawks said. – "We do not know how they died but their deaths were confirmed by civilians."-
- "Hmm… I see."- The president said. – "Hawks, gather a group to help Nabu, but also to investigate, I want to know what exactly happened there and bring the bodies of the villains to examine them."-
- "Understood."- Hawks said and then left the room. – "Tomura... Do you have anything to do with that?"-

UA High.
A few days later.
Izumi is currently in Mina's room next to the aforementioned one, they are both sitting on Mina's bed, Izumi looks at her phone while Mina is fixing her hair.
The good thing is that today is Sunday and they have the whole day to themselves.
- "I love your hair!"- Mina said. – "So fluffy and soft..."-
- "T-Thanks…"- Izumi said with a light blush on her cheeks. – "Huh?"-
Izumi opened the recent news on her phone and was surprised to see the headline:
Nabu, from paradise to hell.
Nabu Island, famous for being an incredible vacation spot, has just been the victim of a villain attack.
Luckily for the residents, the villains were defeated by an unknown group of people, the heroes are helping to rebuild as well as investigating what happened.
- "Villains attacked Nabu..."- Izumi said.
- "Nabu?"- Mina asked. – "The island? Aren't we supposed to go there to help with the hero office?"-
- "Yes, but because of what happened with Atanagi-kun... they delayed it for us to recover from what happened, plus Iida-kun, Kirishima-kun and I were not yet fully recovered." –
- "Right…"- Mina said. – "So... a villain attack."-
- "Yes."- Izumi said. – "But apparently everything ended well, the villains were defeated and no one was badly hurt."-
- "That's good... thank goodness the professionals acted on time."- Mina said.
- "That's the strange thing... according to the news the heroes have just arrived to help rebuild... and they mention those who defeated the villains as an unknown group."- Izumi said.
- "That's… weird."- Mina said. – "Why did they mark those who saved them as unknown?"-
- "Exactly what I thought... it's obvious that they weren't heroes from some other country and neither were those from Nabu since they aren't used to this kind of thing..."- Izumi said. – "Something must have happened so that those who saved Nabu were marked as an unknown group."-
- "Or maybe we're looking too much into this..."- Mina said.
- "It could be... after all, no civilian saw what happened since everyone took refuge and by the time everything was over the group was no longer in Nabu..."- Izumi said. – "Still you have to admit that this is strange to say the least."-
- "Yeah… You're right."- Mina said. – "But now forget that and look here... I have to paint your nails."-
- "R-Right…"- Izumi said.

League's hideout.
- "How much longer will it take?"- Tomura said desperately.
- "Lord Tomura... it's been barely two weeks since you sent the team to Nabu... the trip is at least four days by boat and the Nomu is slower than that... they're probably just arriving or they're already fighting against Nine." - Alpha said trying to calm Tomura down. – "Although I still find it strange that you accepted Atanagi's demands, he is not to be trusted."-
- "I'm testing his loyalty...besides...sending a soldier to war alone is bad strategy."- Tomura said.
- "As you say, my lord."- Alpha said.
- "Still, Tomura, you should have more faith in Dabi, Toga and Twice, they are strong on their own."- Mr. Compress said.
- "That doesn't matter to me... what matters to me is that they haven't returned yet and are delaying the plans!" – Tomura said.
- "Gigantomachia isn't going anywhere else."- Mr. Compress said.
- "You don't know that!"- Tomura said.
- "Well unfortunately we have no choice but to wait..."- Mr. Compress said.
- "I wouldn't say the same..."- Alpha said while pointing at the television.
On television they are showing the news about the attack on Nabu.
- "A villain group that attacked Nabu was defeated..."- Mr. Compress said.
Photos of Nine and the rest of his teammates are shown. - "It's them... apparently they were killed..."- Alpha said. – "They did it..."-
- "Indeed, they did..."- Mr. Compress said.
- "So where are they?!"- Tomura sked. – "They already killed those guys, why aren't they here?!"-
- "Because we just got back, you moron!"- A voice said and the three turned to look and were surprised to see Yamikumo, Dabi, Toga and Twice present in the room. – "The mission has been accomplished."- Yamikumo said.
Tomura smiles. – "Right about f*cking time."- He said.

…
To be continued.
So yeah. Here we are.
Another chapter finished and yeah.
A quiet chapter after the chaos in Nabu.
We have the reactions of H.P.S.C as well as other people, not everyone since that will be later.
I don't have much more to say, except that the villains' reactions to Dabi's new appearance are still missing and he, Yamikumo, Toga and Twice need to catch up on what happened while they were gone.
The next chapter, in addition to that happening, we will also start with the next arc... The League of Villains against the Meta Liberation Army!
After that arc things will get very intense, so please wait, I will try to make the LOV vs MLA arc quick but well written to advance to the turning point of the story.
Because believe me... after the LOV vs MLA arc, things will no longer be like before... well more or less... I don't want to hype things up too much in case in the end they don't turn out to be as epic as I have in mind...
By the way… Today's my birthday (April 3rd)!
Nothing more to say I hope you like it.
As always feel free to leave any comment, review, suggestion, or question about the story, of course always with respect.
Leave your comments about the story, if you like it or not, that also helps me to improve my writing.
So yeah. That's all for now.
Bye Bye.
