Group A was brought back to safety and was promptly ushered into a room where they met back up with Group B. Izuku and Youta's eyes met for a moment as Youta said, "So, did you find Akumi?"

"She wasn't there," Izuku replied.

Youta clicks his tongue, "Figures."

"What about Bakugo?"

"We found him alright. Something about him has changed though."

"Bad news after bad news." Group A joined Group B at the table. "Did we even contribute anything at all?"

"This is why we should have just left it up to the pros," Ida comments.

"I'm starting to second guess myself whether or not we did the right thing," Kirishima added.

"What happened at your end to make you feel so down?" Tetsutetsu questioned.

"Utter chaos. We were probably… No, we were hindrances." Todoroki answers.

"Our end didn't turn out too badly. Youta managed to get Bakugo out but we were caught by the police and now we're here." Kendo said.

Silence then befell the room. Hours passed by before Detective Tsukauchi alone entered the room with a serious look on his face. He walks to the front of the group and begins to speak, "Akari Shimizu, Ejiro Kirishima, Itsuka Kendo, Izuku Midoriya, Momo Yaoyorozu, Shoto Todoroki, Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu, and Youta Okazaki. You all have put yourself in unnecessary danger. But due to one of your actions, we were able to save Katsuki Bakugo. We had Akumi Midoriya's location, but I'm afraid she has now fully defected and is now a member of the League of Villains."

Youta was about to lash out in anger at the comment. Izuku's heart sunk deep into the ground. Akari's quirk flickered on and off. Ida clenched his teeth, disappointed in himself. Kirishima is about to burst with questions. Todoroki is at the edge of slamming the table. Kendo and Tetsutetsu are shocked as to why Akumi joined the League of Villains.

Tsukauchi closes his eyes and tilts his head down. "I know you must have a lot going through your mind after hearing all that, but there is one more thing you should know." He takes a deep breath while the group waits in anticipation. "The number one hero, All Might, is dead." If the group felt anything but disbelief before, they're now left in confusion at the impossibility of the statement. "I know this is a lot for you kids, but you chose to participate. Two of you never had a choice to begin with. Now you nine are in it for the long haul. The exception are Ejiro Kirishima, Itsuka Kendo, Momo Yaoyorozu, and Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu. You four don't have a clue about how bad the situation actually is." Tsukauchi's eyes opened up and an intense gaze could be felt by the entire group. "Before I continue any further. I'd like to give you an out."

Izuku remains silent. His shoulders felt heavier than they ever were before. Ida and Todoroki felt like this was the thing Akumi wanted to say back during the Hosu Incident. Youta, although he wants to question more, holds his tongue to see what decision his friends would make. Akari covers her eyes not wanting to see any more of the truth.

"What do you mean we don't know how bad the situation is? You just told us All Might the number one hero just died. How is that even possible?!" Kirishima shouts.

"We were just with him moments ago," Yaoyorozu mutters with her hands covering her mouth.

"Why are we the only ones getting an out? Sure we may not know as much as some of the others but that does not mean you can just exclude us!" Tetsutetsu shouts.

"I don't think it's about knowing or not, but I do think it's already too late to turn back now. We knew what we were getting into when we chose to intervene." Kendo said calmly. "I can't say for the rest of them but I think it's better knowing than not knowing. Even if that means I can't get out of this situation anymore."

"Do the rest of you feel the same?" Tsukauchi asked. The three unanimously agreed with Kendo's statement. Tsukauchi nods his head as he prepares to share some secrets, "To get those who don't know caught up to speed. Akumi is confirmed to be a Nomu created by the League of Villains. She has two personalities that we know of. One of the personalities is Izuku's sister, the girl you all know. The other is the Nomu, the one who has now taken over control. This is terrible news if the Nomu has the ability to see the future like Izuku's sister. But there are outliers due to your interactions with Akumi."

"How is that possible? Akumi looks nothing like a Nomu!" Todoroki says. "And why tell us this now of all times."

Tsukauchi ignores Todoroki's question and continues his explanation, "Akari Shimizu and Youta Okazaki, you two are the outliers. She did not mention anything about you two being in the future she saw. We can safely say any action with either of you involved will change the outcome drastically from the future Akumi knows. With the death of All Might, we will no doubt see a rise in villain activity."

"What's going to happen next? I doubt it's any worse than what happens now," Ida asked.

"Akumi wasn't very clear about her own memories of the events, to begin with, due to interference with the Nomu. But one thing is for sure, now that you know you can't just walk away from this now. With that said you're all free to go. I know you all must have to process this. Thank you for your understanding. There will be an escort for each one of you when you leave." Tsukauchi leaves the room.

Everyone was hesitant about what to do next. Going their separate ways was not on anyone's mind but seeing as there was nothing left to do they started to leave to process the information they were given. One by one the group got smaller until it was just down to three Akari, Izuku, and Youta.

"Can we… Change location before we talk." Akari said.

Youta nods, "You should come along too, Izuku."

"No there is still something left I need to do before I can join you guys," Izuku responds.

Youta sighs, "If that's what will calm your heart. Bakugo should be back home by now. Let me know if you can't find him." Youta then starts walking to the door, "Let's get going, Akari."

Youta leaves, Akari following closely behind took one last glance at Izuku, noticing that he was waiting for something or rather someone. Moments later Detective Tsukauchi walks back into the room along with Gran Torino and Principle Nezu. "Now that everyone else is gone. Let's talk about what's going to happen to you from now on."

"Before we start I want to confirm something. Is it true? Everything that you said, Mr. Tsukauchi. Is All Might… really?" Izuku had his head down. Anger, guilt, and sadness welling up inside.

"Yes. Everything I said was true." Detective Tsukauchi replied.

"And Akumi?"

"Everything," Tsukauchi repeated.

Izuku unleashes a 20% One For All Full Cowling slamming the table with both hands. The table is in two pieces and everyone watches as tears fall from Izuku's eyes. Izuku then wipes his tears and says now with fury eyes, "If All Might was able to defeat him during his time with this quirk then it's my turn to take him down for good."

"You don't have to deal with him anymore. Just his protege Tomura Shigaraki," Grand Torinino states, stepping up to Izuku. "And if it's true, you'll have to face many more of your sister's lookalikes in the future. They're probably going to mass-produce that version of Nomu. Luckily it's going to take them much longer before they find a method to produce a Seo model again. If it was the worst-case scenario we would have to make you go into hiding, but thankfully we don't because All For One is also dead."

"Then if he's dead then why do I still feel like he is somewhere out there?" Izuku walks to a wall and closes his eyes to focus placing a hand on the wall.

"What do you mean?" Tsukauchi asks.

"He's not dead. At least not his spirit… no… not the vessel that holds his quirk."

"How do you know that for sure?"

"You wouldn't believe it, but someone who looks like my sister told me just now."

Akari follows Youta with no questions asked leaving Izuku behind. Security was on high alert as they walked out. Two officers approached the pair, and one of them said, "Will you two be going together?" Youta confirms it. "Then Please follow me," the officer said motioning for the two to follow. They were taken to a police car and told to enter the back seats which they do. The two officers also got into the car, one in the driver's and the other in the front passenger seat. "Whose home are we going to first."

"We'll be going here." Youta showed the officer in the driver's seat his phone.

"We were instructed to not take you anywhere else besides your homes."

"We'll get here one way or another." A red light began to shine around Youta.

The officer sighs, "Please reframe from doing something unnecessary. We'll take you there."

Akari had a feeling she knew where Youta wanted to go. As the area got more and more familiar they now arrived at the gates to the forest area where they formed their trio. "Of course, it's this place," Akari said out loud. Outside, an old man with green hair stands with two men on either side of him.

Youta got out of the car and walked to the man and Akari followed behind. The car leaves as Youta stops in front of the gate to the forest. "Youta. It has been some time my son."

Shadow casts over Youta's eyes as he walks past the men, "Not right now dad. Akari and I need to talk in there first."

The old man smiles as his hair shines green, "I see. Well, don't be too long now. You have a very important decision to make."

Youta opens the gates and lets themselves inside. "We just get more things done here." They make their way to their usual meeting spot. When they arrived Youta placed a hand on a tree. "So what did you see?"

"Too much. I don't know if I could do this anymore. Maybe it's better if I just stop getting involved with things I don't know anything about." Akari slumped down against another tree.

"Hey…" Youta turned to look at Akari. She looked exactly like how she did all those years ago. Arms and legs curled up into a ball. "I'm sorry I wasn't there. I don't know what happened so can you please just explain before giving up on us… On Akumi."

"She said she was going to be fine. There's never a time she was completely wrong. But now, we don't even know where she is."

"Come on now." Youta sits next to Akari. "Would Akumi want you to be like this? If she were here she would say something like… She would say something like… Like…" Youta notices Akari's eyes glowing red. "I don't know anymore."

"I hate them!" Akari blurts out with anger and no hesitation.

"Hate who?" Youta was surprised at this sudden change.

"All of them! The villains, the heroes, I hate them all!"

"What about vigilantes?"

"I hate them too, but…" Akari goes quiet before shouting as loud as she could, "WHO I HATE MOST IS IZUKU AND BAKUGO!"

Youta was almost scared at this new Akari he was seeing, "Just what did you see?"

"Izuku has always been a coward! He failed at getting Akumi to normal not once but twice now. I know it was under extreme circumstances and I should have known better but!" Calming down a little bit as she recalls what Akumi had said before. "But what are best friends for?"

"Being late and making girls cry." Youta looks up into the night sky. "So why hate Bakugo?"

"I've only put up with him because Akumi was around and she was the instigator. But now that she's gone all I see is the self-entitled brat that he is."

"Harsh words." Youta laughs. "I couldn't agree more. But I'm not too sure about the Bakugo I saw. It's almost like he changed."

"The sports festival… I found out about everything. What we meant to her. What would've happened if she wasn't here. Why she's doing what she's doing. I tried to forget it. Write it off as a thing said in the heat of the moment. I wanted to know her side of the story. But I can't anymore Youta." Akari turns her head to look Youta into his eyes, "She's old enough to be my mom. She has multiple quirks. Two other people within her. And last but not least as we found out she's just a Nomu that can be cloned. How would we know if it was her or not I can't even trust my eyes anymore."

Youta stares at Akumi's glowing eyes as her tears just won't stop falling. He places a hand on her face wiping away her tears. "Crying again, huh? It's like this whenever it's just me and you."

"There's just so much going on I can't make out what's the right choice anymore. It hurts every time I see the truth. It's much worse than seeing a lie or those creatures. There's no way after this they'll let me be a hero. And if I can't become a hero I'll have to… I… I'll."

"It's okay Akari. If you don't feel comfortable talking about your situation yet then don't. Your situation is just as important as Akumi's. My services are always open for either of you."

"I don't want to go back to them." Akari held onto Youta's hand.

"To who?"

"My family."

"Not even your sister?"

"Especially her."

"I take it back. I'm going to have to ask you to tell me about your situation then." Akari's eyes widened upon hearing Youta say this. "If it's a situation where you don't even want to see your sister." Akari's heart is racing as emotions are about to overflow. "You have to explain just a little bit." If Youta kept pushing she feels like she would tell him anything and everything. "Anything at all. To help me understand."

"I'm being forced into a marriage!" Akari shouts. Her head is down, her eyes closed, and the cold of night is finally starting to settle in. With everything that's happened, she couldn't hold it in anymore. "I didn't want you guys to know. It's not something you can even do something about. But knowing us, we would have tried something. I didn't want you to ruin your livelihood for me."

Youta's heart had stopped. Out of all the bad news that he has heard through this entire ordeal this was the worst one by far. Youta placed a hand on Akari's head and even though this is the worst news he's heard, Youta felt surprisingly calm. He now knows what choice he has to make.

The green glow from Youta's father can be seen from afar but the two were too lost in thought to notice.

Maeko wakes up to the sound of explosions outside her brother's house. After A long time of having no vigilante activity ever since she last saw Doll Maker's doll, she goes to investigate the noise outside. She walks out the door to tire marks just outside the house. The house next to her looked to be robbed. A smashed window or two, a wall was broken down, and fire. "Some should call a hero," she said, unfazed by the destruction. Looking around some more there were no bystanders which is strange. From the distance, she can hear an announcement playing from a radio. The announcement states All Might the number one hero has died. She laughs as she heads for school. On her walk, the announcement continues saying former UA student Akumi Midoriya has joined the League of Villains. This caught Maeko off guard as she trips over a pebble falling to the floor. "What?" Thinking back on what Doll Maker said. "Did that bastard? I need to find out myself." Maeko rushes to a secluded alley putting on a jacket covering her uniform and a bandana masking her face.

Jumping onto the rooftops she makes her way back to where she had last made contact with Doll Maker. As she leaps from one building to another she gets hit by lightning paralyzing her in the air. She falls down to the ground thankfully not breaking anything important. "It's time to get a little bit of payback." Maeko stays silent recognizing this man with the skull necklace. "As quiet as always. Who'd think our little vigilante would join the top hero school? So your name was Maeko Nagai. It was quite easy to track you down once I saw you on TV." Grabbing Maeko by the throat and getting an up-close look at Maeko's face he says, "You're probably wondering how I escaped prison. After All Might Died it invigorated some of the inmates to escape I used that opportunity to escape myself."

If Maeko wasn't wearing a mask she'd spit on him. "It seems I owe an apology. That boy's electricity quirk hurts much more than your pathetic lightning." The man was about to tighten his grip on Maeko, but Maeko made him remember as though he had never griped her in the first place as his hands releases Maeko and she kicks him between the legs. The man falls over writhing in pain as Maeko stomps on his head knocking him out cold. "Cross me again and I'll kill you. Not that you can hear me."

Maeko then hears clapping from behind her. "Great job Maeko. I knew you can handle someone like him easily."

"You're…" Maeko is in disbelief at what she sees. "You Can't Be! You're Supposed To Be Dead!"

The apparition of All Might disappears, "You know the truth of if I died or not."

"You never came back. You promised, but you never did. I waited. Everyone called me crazy."

"The world is changing Maeko. Soon the world of Heroes as you know it will all come crumbling down." Hysteria puts a handout and asks, "I want you to join us."

"Us?" Maeko looks around the area.

"Don't worry I came alone. I see Doll Maker taught you well."

"Why did you kill him."

"He was getting too close to discovering the truth. But now that two major figureheads are dead there is a huge power vacuum. It was a shame if he was still alive I would have recruited him too."

"A Shame?! You Killed Him!" Maeko backs away from Hysteria. "Yeah, the world is changing. I've changed too."

"I'll give you some time to think about it. This must be a hard decision for you. I'll be waiting for your answer." Hysteria walks into a shadow and disappears.

A moment after Hysteria disappears Maeko slumps down noticing that the man with the skull necklace was also gone. Tired from all the shocking news she decides not to go to school that day.

The next day it was announced to the world that All Might, the number one hero, had died in the line of duty. People all over the world mourned All Might's death while some rejoiced over it. Shigaraki definitely was conflicted as to whether or not he was happy about his death. He lost his mentor but gain a useful piece against his new enemy. Izuku on the other hand was definitely sad about All Might's death. Not only did he lose his sister but also his mentor all in one night. Bakugo is feeling frustrated with himself. He didn't know if the fault was with him or Akumi. He wanted to be angry but for once he couldn't find any reason to be. Akari has found shelter in Youta during this whole ordeal as her family questions his family for the whereabouts of Akari. The rest of class 1A and 1B grieves over the death of All Might.

The rise of villainous activity has grown. A big power vacuum is being formed. Something in the shadows is brewing. Whether good or bad, it has yet to be seen.
