Magne was shocked as August showed her a magical window, where she saw Muscular's defeat firsthand.
"Muscular has been defeated..." August sighed as he reported to Tomura.
"Shame, but then again, he was a loose cannon," Tomura replied. "Let's hope the others are having a little better luck in handling the next generation."
"Damn, with his strength, I was expecting him to give those kids a harder time..." Magne grunted. "Just what the hell are those kids?"
"The next generation, baby." Thrax said with a casual shrug before looking to the forest, smirking as he saw explosions light up across. "Looks like Deidara's having a good time, at least."
After a few minutes of Muscular not moving, it was clear he wasn't getting back up. Itsuka checked just to be safe.
"He's out cold. You guys really worked him over. I'm amazed he's still alive, much less intact."
"Ay, didn't give me a chance at the jobber." Nia huffed, kicking the unconscious villain in the side spitefully. "Bloody psychotic prick."
"Asshole's Quirk was annoying but once we could see the weaknesses, it was easy," Katsuki said.
"Are you kids alright?" Tiger asked, running forward. "I can't believe you managed to beat him!"
"Hey, we kicked Stain's ass! What's another A-Rank Villain taken down by us?" Hilda proudly said.
"How's everyone else doing?" Izuku asked.
"I don't know," Tenya said as he came over beside Tiger. "We may need to do a wide sweep of the area and make sure our friends are handling themselves against whoever ele is attacking them."
"Yes, those villains, Thrax, Spinner, and Magne managed to escape and the other one, Parten, managed to take Pixie-Bob while Deidara took Mandalay," Tiger growled. "And I can't get in touch with Ragdoll either. It seems I'm the only one left."
Ben frowned. "The League of Villains is much more serious than they were at the USJ. This time, they're playing for keeps."
Meanwhile, Aizawa had managed to corner Dabi and erase his Quirk, keeping him held back with his Capture Tape.
"Better tell me where your friends are. At least before I have to resort to breaking your legs. It'd be a pain to have to carry you to jail."
Dabi chuckled. "Sorry, I couldn't say where they are either. I'd imagine Thrax, Spinner, and Magne are sticking close together, Mustard is conjuring up a toxic fog to try and stun everyone while Airi backs him up, Moonfish is likely doing his own thing. I think Saiko, Vetto, and Tommyrod are still out there, but I couldn't say. Muscular... Well, I think he's already taken out."
Suddenly, Aizawa felt his Haki kick in, jumping out of danger as eagles made of clay dived down and exploded on impact. The explosions hit Dabi as well, but he turned into some kind of brown sludge.
"Heh, sorry about that, Eraserhead!" Deidara taunted while flying away on his C2 Dragon. "But Dabi is with Twice right now!"
True to Deidara's words, Dabi was with Twice, a man dressed in a black and grey full-body spandex costume reminiscent of Deadpool.
"Would it have killed Deidara not to hit the copy?"
"Come on, Dabi, it was an accident!" Twice said before switching tones of voice. "He totally did that on purpose!"
Due to a past trauma from misusing his Quirk, [Double], Twice often contradicted the words he spoke, as if he was two different people with two different opinions on a situation in one body.
"Lay off him, Dabi," Airi said as he jumped in, swinging across the trees like an expert gymnast. "The copies he makes rarely have great staying power or durability."
"Aren't you supposed to be with Mustard?" Dabi asked with an arched eyebrow before shaking his head. "Whatever, no skin off my nose. Just keep the copies coming, Twice."
"Sure thing, Dabi! You're not the boss a-me!"
Most of Class 1-B had ended up running into Nnoitra, who smirked as he grew an extra pair of skeletal arms that protruded scythes from them with his Quirk, [Santa Teresa].
"You kids look pretty tough, probably not as good as your buddies in Class 1-A but definitely enough to give me a challenge!"
With frightening speeds, Nnoitra dashed at the students, who quickly scattered to avoid getting taken out all at once. Tetsutetsu turned his body to steel while Togaru produced blades from his elbows and wrists to clash against Nnoitra's scythes.
"He's not giving us much room to breathe!" Juuzo said as he tried to soften the ground and sink Nnoitra into it, but the villain smirked and leaped into the air before dashing down with Soru to try and cleave the skeletal-faced boy in two.
Thankfully, he was stopped when one of his scythes exploded into bits, courtesy of Rebecca firing a shotgun-like apparatus from the back of her fist.
"Awww yeah, you wanna see some REAL firepower?!"
Nnoitra grinned, liking Rebecca's spark as she held out her hand as it unfolded into an honest-to-god minigun, which she began opening fire with as Nnoitra began deflecting the bullets by spinning his remaining scythes.
"Come on, Rebecca-Chan needs our help!" Pony said as she and Tetsutetsu leaped into the fray.
"Come at me, brats! I'll take you all on!" Nnoitra laughed excitedly.
The Autoscorers were scouting the forest, making sure the rest of the Vanguard Action Squad were handling themselves. The four were watching as Muscular was wrapped up.
"So much for our heavy hitter..." Phara sighed. "Honestly, it might be a good thing he was taken out. I cannot stand brutes like him."
"Moonfish is getting some action elsewhere," Leiur noted. "Alas, it seems he'll be taken out as well, but at least he will provide a flashy opponent for those students."
"And the Heroes got Himiko Toga on their side as well, so there's that wrinkle to look into." Garie added.
"I'm not getting many people caught in my gas..." Mustard frowned behind the gas mask he wore while accompanied by Vetto.
"Don't worry, child. We will have company arriving very soon."
Sure enough, Momo and Nimona arrived, both of them wearing special breather masks.
"Awww, the gas masks?" Mustard whined in disappointment. "Well, I still have contingencies!"
Mustard then drew a .38 S&W Special and opened fire, Nimona turning into a meerkat and scampering underneath it while Momo dodged to the side.
However, a claw of darkness crashed down, making Mustard scream and drop his gun as Vetto pulled him to safety. The two looked to see Fumikage appear, Dark Shadow looking to be close to feral from the darkness.
"Well, isn't this interesting?" Vetto grinned excitedly as he gestured for Mustard to escape. "You get out of here, kid. I have a feeling I'll enjoy fighting this one."
Mustard nodded and ducked into the forest, quickly contacting August to warp him to safety before Momo and Nimona could catch him.
"Even now my Quirk, my brother, has enough of his senses to know friend from foe," Fumikage told Vetto. "If you choose to run, best do it now. Because you will not be getting a better chance."
"A shame to fight a Heteromorphic Type..." Vetto sighed. "I abhor violence against your kind. I wish to put an end to it all and save Mutant-types like you from the prejudice you face...but alas, it seems I must get rough to put my point across."
Vetto's arms were then surrounded by an orange aura as he leaped toward Fumikage and Dark Shadow, the aura morphing into the shape of bear claws as he grinned wildly.
"Come, boy! Show me that you have the strength to stand for what you believe in!"
Meanwhile, Ochako, Tsuyu, Himiko, and Kirby were dealing with Moonfish, but there was someone else with him that Himiko recognized.
"Saiko-Chan! Why are you with them?!"
"I'm just with my people, Himi-Chan! Just like you are!"
"You know here, Toga?" Tsuyu asked as Himiko nodded.
"We were childhood friends. She was one of the few people who I could...be myself around back when I was still a Villain." Himiko admitted. "I-I always thought it was us against the world."
Saiko seemed to have a sad look on her face as well. "Yeah, I know...but I guess fate saw it differently, huh?"
"Flesh...! Pieces of meat…Flesh!" Moonfish chanted as he used his Quirk, [Blade-Tooth], to extend his teeth into blades that strafed the area in hopes of drawing blood at the very least.
"Yes, Moon-Chan! Lots of flesh!" Saiko giggled as she summoned glass shards from the palms of her hands and wielded them like knives.
"You were her friend once, Toga! Any insights on what she can do?" Kirby asked as she had transformed into Cutter Kirby after being given one of Himiko's box cutter knives.
"Her Quirk is [Bloody Mary], she can manipulate glass and blood in ways similar to the fable it's named after," Himiko explained as she took a vial of blood with a Chibi Eijirou's face on it. "We're gonna have to get serious here."
Himiko downed the blood and transformed into a perfect copy of Eijirou, charging toward Moonfish, who noticed her and lashed his tooth blades out.
As the blades got close, she raised her arms in defense out of instinct. Ochako, Kirby, and Tsuyu prepared to wince as they closed their eyes, only for the next scream to come from Moonfish. They looked and were shocked to see that Himiko had accessed Eijirou's [Hardening], letting her break off one of the blades and cause Moonfish pain.
"Oooooh~!" Saiko awwed in amazement. "You couldn't do that before, Himi-Chan!"
"I thought I couldn't..." Eijirou-Himiko clarified. "My Quirk must have mutated during Daddy's training."
"And if you can now use the Quirks of those you copy..." Kirby began before grinning. "You still have Kaachan and Izuku's blood samples?"
Himiko smiled. "Oh yeah. This is gonna get good."
Saiko watched in interest while Moonfish was shocked as they both saw Himiko switch from Eijirou's form to Katsuki's.
"You're just full of surprises, Himi-Chan! That's why we were such good friends!"
Having now fully recovered, Moonfish launched his blades while Saiko cut her wrist with her glass shard knife and created a scythe made of her own solidified blood, giggling wickedly as Katsuki-Himiko rushed in, joined by Ochako, Tsuyu, and Kirby.
"CUTTER BLADE!" Kirby shouted, taking out one Cutter Boomerang and using it as a makeshift knife to clash with Saiko's blood scythe, Tsuyu leaping over and delivering a dropkick, only for a wall of jagged glass to block her off.
Ochako and Katsuki-Himiko went right after Moonfish, Ochako using her Quirk to levitate herself after Himiko as she launched herself with explosions. Together, the two nailed Moonfish right in the mouth, the combined force wrecking his teeth and rendering his Quirk useless as a result.
"Moon-Chan!" Saiko cried before pouting. "Awww, and I really liked him too! Oh well, what's done is done and we've already got what we came for~!"
Saiko then turned into glass and shattered, revealing herself to have been a clone the whole time. The four girls didn't think much of it as Tsuyu used her tongue to wrap up Moonfish.
"We should contact Aizawa-Sensei and get some capture tape. I'd say this villain is out of commission."
Vetto clashed against Dark Shadow with his own Quirk, [Animal Aura], which allowed him to harness his aura and shape it into any animal, not only using it to increase his physical capabilities but also granting him the abilities of the animals he shaped from his own aura as well.
"You are strong, boy! I can see why you are one of the most revered amongst your class!" Vetto proudly said. "I've been holding myself back to gauge your power and I can safely say you have a chance of beating me even if I choose to let loose...but I will not."
"Why?" Fumikage asked, he and Dark Shadow still prepared in case Vetto attacked again.
"Simple...we already have most of what we came for." The Elf-like man said before disappearing into a portal created by August. "I hope to challenge you again soon, Fumikage Tokoyami!"
With their adversary gone, Fumikage and Dark Shadow were left by themselves.
"Sorry for the freak-out, boss. I think I'm good now."
Fumikage nodded. "Then let's track down our friends, and see if we can't find the other villains as well."
"Vetto, you made it!" Mustard said in relief as Vetto exited the portal.
"Good to know some of us are still in one piece." Thrax chuckled as he walked over.
"But it seems we've now lost Moonfish." August frowned as he could sense it. "Nnoitra is also being overwhelmed by the Class 1-B students, we will need to pull him back soon."
"Let that maniac have his fun for right now," Thrax said. "He needs to cut loose every now and then."
Suddenly, Kurogiri manifested from his Warp Gate, which made a path back to the League of Villains' hideout for the members of the Vanguard Action Squad who had escaped.
"Thank goodness for quick escapes." Parten chuckled as he showed Pixie-Bob, wrapped up in a black cocoon of some kind of flesh-like crust. "We got the bitches for Shigaraki."
"Good, I take it things are going well right now?"
"We lost Muscular and Moonfish. Those kids are even tougher than we were expecting them to be." Magne grunted as Spinner was beginning to regain consciousness. "Gotta give them credit for that, at least."
"Don't worry, the rest of our pals have things handled." Parten casually said. "Though I don't trust Dabi not to dig himself into a ditch."
"Fear not, the Dark Knights are keeping watch," Kurogiri said. "As for me, I shall endeavor to aid in retrieving the remaining targets for Sensei."
"You go do that, Shuichi needs to recuperate," Magne said as she and Thrax helped carry the dazed Spinner through the Warp Gate back to the bar.
August frowned as Kurogiri warped himself away to the forest. He had a bad feeling that things would not end well for the Warp Gate user...
Shoto and Penny had ended up running into Tommyrod, who smirked as he stood over them.
"I was hoping to run into some prominent Hero Students and look at what I find; two of UA's pride and joy of the Recommendation Exam."
"You are Tommyrod, a man responsible for 50 murders." Penny noted as she analyzed the Villain. "I have your criminal file on record."
"It seems my reputation proceeds me." Tommyrod smirked. "Now, let me show you how I amassed such a body count!"
Using his Quirk, [Parasite Hive], Tommyrod spat out insect eggs at Shoto and Penny that exploded on impact. Penny used Configuration: Steel, to surround herself in metal armor while Shoto released a barrier of ice.
"Thanks to my Quirk, I store a large number of insects inside my body that hatch and summon themselves at my command!" Tommyrod explained. "Allow me to show you the true terrifying power of insects!"
"We are fully prepared for you!" Penny said, using Configuration: Half-Hot, Half-Cold, to turn her arms into a flamethrower and ice cannon respectively.
Kurogiri appeared in the forest, where Merciless was watching from the shadows.
"This is a foolish endeavor. You're no match for anyone down there."
"I know. I do not expect to make it out of this uncaptured." Kurogiri sighed. "But I trust Tomura's well-being in your care. Besides, I also have backup at the very least."
Out of the Warp Gate came a six-armed Nomu, a giant chainsaw sticking out of its torso. Merciless nodded as he prepared to leave himself.
"I wish you good luck. As for me, I need to rein in a rowdy member who needs proper discipline if he wishes to stay with our group."
Dabi was still with Twice and Airi when the Pyromancer decided to break the ice.
"Hey, Airi? Why did you decide to become a Villain anyway?"
"I crashed into a school bus."
"WHAT?! That's totally wicked!" Twice exclaimed.
"Yep. They barely survived."
"What type of kids were on that bus? Were they normal kids or were they special kids?" Dabi asked.
"They were Fortnite kids."
Dabi let out an 'Ah' and a nod of understanding before Kurogiri suddenly appeared.
"We have three out of four of the Wild, Wild Pussycats. However, the students are proving an adequate offense. I have brought a Nomu as a distraction so that we may at least capture either Midoriya or Project: Dragoon."
"Finally, we can get out of here!" Twice cheered. "Hell no! I'm staying here until the bitter end!"
"You guys go ahead and leave if you want to. I still have some business I need to take care of." Dabi said dismissively as he began to leave.
"Are you sure that's wise?" Kurogiri asked.
"I have my own message to say and if I have to work with you bozos to do it, then so be it."
"Sheesh, what a dick." Twice commented as Dabi left. "He's just misunderstood!"
Airi clicked her tongue. "Let that edgelord get whatever's eating him out of his system. I'm sure the Dark Knights will yank his sorry ass out of trouble when he eventually bites off more than he can chew."
Several of the 1-A students were still in the lodge defending it, alongside Vlad King.
"How do you think things are going out there?" Oujiro wondered.
"I don't know, but I'm pretty sure our friends are handling the Villains relatively well," Mina noted.
"Oui, I just hope they're alright..." Yuuga muttered, a haunted look on his face.
"Aoyama, are you okay? You look like something's been eating you all night." Tooru worriedly noted.
Hitoshi suddenly sniffed the air. "Do you guys smell smoke?"
Thinking quickly, Eijirou activated his Quirk, just as a figure appeared in the door's window, and created a blast of blue fire. It was Dabi, who was promptly trapped against the wall by Vlad King's [Blood Control], the blood turning solid to trap Dabi against the wall.
"You're acting just like I predicted. But you've already lost, regardless of what happens."
"I don't know what you're talking about, but we're not gonna give up just because you creeps seem to have a knack for picking on us specifically!" Rikidou said, cracking his knuckles.
"Oh really?" Dabi smirked. "Then why is it that you've lost three of the Pussycats?"
"Wait, the Pussycats have been captured?" Mina asked, a horrified look on her face.
"Yup, and I have a feeling two of your friends are next."
"It was foolish of you to come here alone, Dabi! But considering your arrogance, that was to be expected!"
The students quickly moved back, as did Vlad King, when the wall to the outside exploded, revealing a familiar tall muscular man clad head to toe in armor that looked like a Batman version of Ares, the Greek God of War.
"Holy crap, that's The Merciless of the Dark Knights!" Denki cried in alarm.
Merciless used his Quirk, [War God], to summon swords, spears, and axes that came from blood-red gateways, aimed at the heroes as he yanked Dabi out of his trap.
"I apologize for this unruly individual's behavior. We will see to it that he is straightened out in due time." The Dark Knight said calmly. "Fear not, for no harm shall come to you tonight. We have what we came for already."
With that, a portal appeared that Merciless stepped back through, dragging Dabi with him as it closed. Almost immediately afterward, Aizawa, Tenya, and Tiger came in with Kota.
"What happened here?"
"One of the villains tried attacking. But then Merciless appeared and carried him off." Vlad King explained.
"So the Dark Knights are backing the League of Villains." Aizawa muttered. "Tiger and I will stay here with Kota. The rest of you hit the front lines. I want any villains that haven't already fled in custody by morning."
"YES, SIR!"
By now the Nomu had appeared to aid Tommyrod and Nnoitra. But at the same time, the students they had been facing had grouped together, along with Izuku's group.
"Glad you guys came when you did!" Sen said. "We don't know how much longer we could have handled that guy with the arms!"
"A bunch of you against just three of us, huh?" Nnoitra said. "Normally I like an overwhelming challenge, but this just doesn't seem fair at all."
Suddenly, Twice was seen flying over the treetops, and from the angle he was in someone had launched him.
"Twice, what happened?!" Tommyrod asked in shock.
"Is that you, Auntie Em? I had the strangest dream about a four-speed blender!" Twice dizzily said as Tommyrod and Nnoitra helped him up to his feet.
Airi suddenly came in, carried by black wings created from her tattoos. This was thanks to her Quirk, [Body Art], which allowed her to transform the tattoos on her body into all sorts of constructs, the only limit being her imagination.
"The other UA punks are coming. We'd best amscray soon."
The Nomu stood in defense of the other villains.
"I'll take care of this!" Izuku said as he ran forward. "You guys just watch each other's backs!"
The Nomu tried to unleash its chainsaw to attack, but Izuku used Geppo to leap over it.
"GEKISHIN!"
With the power of the [Tremor-Tremor Fruit], Izuku created a tremoring shockwave in front of the Chainsaw Nomu's face, downing it in one blow. That's when Kurogiri appeared using his Warp Gate.
"Time to leave, everyone!"
"Well, I hate to leave a battle unfinished..." Nnoitra grinned before relenting and retreating through the Warp Gate with Tommyrod, Twice, and Airi.
"Oh no you don't!" Ben said, unleashing sharp jets of water at the villains but Kurogiri redirected them with his Warp Gate.
"COMPRESS!"
Suddenly, before anybody could react, Ben suddenly disappeared into a marble that was then swiped by someone moving at super-speeds, no doubt harnessing Soru to do so. Izuku gasped as he tried to move and see with his Haki, only to feel something tap his back before disappearing into a marble as well.
"MIDORIYA! TOREKUROSHI!" The others shouted.
"ZU!" Hilda cried.
"BEN!" Penny screamed.
"DEKU!" Ochako and Katsuki exclaimed in horror.
"Even with all their powers, they could not see this sleight of hand..." A voice chuckled before Mr. Compress appeared, holding three marbles between his fingers.
"Give them back!" Mipha cried.
"Give them back? What a strange thing to say. They don't belong to anyone, they're their own person, you egoist."
"Says the person stealing them just for their own use," Nia growled.
Shoto and Mipha fired waves of ice and water at Mr. Compress, only for him to jump to another tree to dodge. Kurogiri was prepared to help warp Mr. Compress away as well, only for Hitoshi to suddenly call out to him.
"Hey, Mist Man!"
"Who's there?" Kurogiri answered, looking in Hitoshi's direction, only to then be caught in his Quirk.
"Oh dear, it appears Kurogiri has been compromised..." Mr. Compress noted. "Oh well, at least he closed the gate leading back to our hideout beforehand!"
Using Soru and Geppo, Mr. Compress made his way deeper into the forest. he quickly contacted August, who was still waiting for him on hand.
"August, Kurogiri has been compromised but I've captured Midoriya and Torekuroshi. I'll rendezvous with you soon."
Dabi was slammed down beside August by Merciless, who lifted the Pyromancer back up into the air by the neck.
"I take it Dabi nearly went and got himself captured?" The Old Wizard asked dryly.
"You should have retreated with the others." Merciless lectured. "Instead, you wanted to satiate your pride and nearly got yourself captured as a result!"
Dabi scoffed. "Do you even know what my father did to me? I did everything to be what he wanted me to be, but I was nothing to him. Just trash to be discarded when he wasn't the masterpiece he wanted."
"You were weak to your own power. You inherited your mother's ice resistance despite having a Fire Quirk even stronger than your father's." Merciless noted. "Yes, we know all about you, TOYA TODOROKI."
"I tried to be a hero, like dear old dad wanted. But he said I was weak and focused everything on Shoto. What kind of society oppresses both the weak and the strong?"
"Alas, that is your greatest flaw. Even though you wish revenge on your father for supposedly abandoning you, he had only wanted to protect you, but went about it the wrong way." Merciless said. "If you really wish to spite him, then you will commit to this group or we will dispose of you accordingly."
Merciless threw Dabi to the ground before having August form a portal back to the hideout, roughly picking up the Pyromancer and shoving him through.
"Your goals are too narrow-minded. What will you have if you do succeed? Nothing. You will be right back where you stared, an empty husk with no purpose." Merciless lectured. "As you are now, you'll only be repeating the same mistakes. That is why you need proper discipline under us."
August nodded in agreement with Merciless' words before turning and waiting for Mr. Compress to arrive while also bracing for the angry Hero Students who would no doubt be coming after him.
"Stop!" shouted Ochako in desperation, only to see Mr. Compress getting farther and farther away.
"Ochako! Lighten me!" Penny said as she began to activate her jet boots.
"I've charged up [Fa Jin] and I'm mixing it with OFA's Full Cowling!" Hilda said, pink and white electricity dancing around her as she squatted down. "We'll get him!"
Ochako saw what the two were doing and used her Quirk on both of them, allowing them to rocket toward Mr. Compress' location.
Mr. Compress was grinning as he hopped from tree to tree, thinking it would be an easy getaway. He frowned when he heard something whistling through the air and decided to take a look back, only to open his eyes in shock as Hilda and Penny collided right into him. He didn't even have time to dodge.
"We'll be taking them back!"
Thinking quickly, Mr. Compress used his Quirk on himself, disappearing into a marble. As Hilda and Penny landed, barbed chains suddenly lashed out as they did their best to dodge.
"Well now, isn't it rude to run into somebody?" Batman Who Laughs cackled as he picked up the marbles containing Ben and Izuku between his fingers as Mr. Compress released himself from his marble, dusting his coat off.
"Those children are certainly the outrageous sort. I can't help but commend them."
"So sorry about this children, but our brother wants these two and as such good and loving siblings, we need to be there for him." Batman Who Laughs chuckled as the barbed chains retracted into his wrist. "Auggy, old boy?"
August appeared, having anticipated where Mr. Compress would arrive and snapped his fingers, creating a gateway for the three villains to retreat through.
"NO YOU FUCKING DON'T!" Katsuki roared as he flew in, launching an explosion at the three only for BWL to cackle and create a flock of grinning crows to shield him.
"Manners cost nothing, boy. You could have at least said 'Please', first!"
The three then quickly retreated into the gateway, which closed. The rest of the Hero Students came in, only to see the defeated looks on Hilda, Penny, and Katsuki's faces.
"D-Did we just lose...?" Kyouka breathed out, falling to her knees in shock, her eyes wide.
The young heroes may have done an exemplary job of fending off the Villains and even successfully capturing two of them...but the League's true goal had been achieved. Izuku, Ben, and all but one of the Wild, Wild Pussycats were captured.
This ain't gonna be like mtnetsurfer's My Hero SCP, the Villains are much more competent with their heavier hitters in this story!
