("Where there is light, shadows lurk and fear reigns. Yet by the blade of knights, mankind was given hope.")

The voice states as a large symbol of unknown design turned into two Horrors that resembled actual demons before coming together to form a feline's claw and then finally, turning into a knight with a gold hue.

Track playing: Hollow Hunger from Overlord by OxT

(La Ta Ta Ta Ta La! The undying dream!)

After completing his transformation, Jinga created a black, fiery aura around himself before turning it into a pair of bat-like wings!

(Won. Der why. I can't satisfy? O. Ver night, I feel like I'm dying.)

As he slowly walks towards them, everyone readied themselves as All Might leaped towards Jinga with a fist ready and Iota's guns trained on him!

(Everything in this world is in my hands. I've got. I've got only my bones.)

"Detroit Smash!" He shouted as he tried to punch him, only for Jinga to duck and plunge a hand, with a middle, index finger, and a thumb pointing outwards, right through All Might's gut!

(Oh, I'm crying to the darkest sky: There's no light in this lonely night!)

He then yanked his arm out and roundhouse kicked him into the stairs, causing him to leave a large imprint as his body shriveled!

(Even though there's nothing I want anymore somehow. Can't stop getting all (O-o-o-oh!).)

Just then, Jinga parried and menuverde Garo's sword into the ground before using his wings as a shield to block a barrage of bullets!

(On top. Of the fortress. Of glory and void, I contemplate the future.)

He then ducks underneath Baron's sword as Jaaku leaped into the air and attempted to strike Jinga from above! Unfortunately, as she downward strikes, he grabbed the blade with his flattened hands!

(Even if it's to fall to ruin, I keep wishing for hope like a corpse. Just give me more power!)

As Baron swung sideways, Jinga managed to trap the blade in-between his elbow and knee! While they were left shocked while keeping Jaaku's blade trapped, he then grinned underneath his helmet before being enveloped by the miasma from Amily's mirror, coming from the center of the place, and erupting it into the same aura again!

(Roll the dice! Let's dance forever! As a nightmare leads us! Let's dance with all of our sins! Even if the vanity swallows us! La Ta La Li La Li!)

Generating a pulse, Jinga sends everyone back before covering his blade in the aura and swinging it at Garo, extending as he's able to grab his dislodged sword and held the opposing blade in place, in-between the blade and crossguard before running across the elongated blade! Suddenly, the blade turned into a multi-bladed saw and knocked the sword out of Garo's hands before knocking him away! He then turned around and used the blades as a shield to deflect another barrage of bullets and energy bolts before rushing in to slice Iota in half!

(La Ta Ta Ta Ta La! The undying dream! La Ta Ta Ta Ta La! Get away, hurry! Hurry! La Ta Ta Ta Ta La! Like the bad dream… (La Ta Ta Ta Ta La!) is going to break! Oh no, I'm falling… down.)

In close, he then kicked Kyoka in the side before striking Baron in the left leg! Just before he could finish him off, Jinga heard a wave of ice coming towards himself, only for him to shatter it by extending his blade! He then blitzed Shoto and slammed him into the ground before planting his boot into his gut! Looking back, Jinga spotted Ejiro running towards him before kicking Shoto upward and throwing him at him.

(In my sight, I can't see no life. Hold me tight, I won't be alright!)

Flying above, Iota resumed firing discs at Jinga, getting him to generate four shadow-like tendrils to grab and throw the ordinance at the scattered group, including Ejiro and Shoto, blowing them all away as Iota falls from the sky!

(If it doesn't come true for only those who wish for it. Can't stop, getting mad O-o-o-oh!).

"Kyoka, the Mirror!" Garo shouted as he got back up and charged at Jinga with Jaaku, leaving Kyoka and Baron, the former of whom summoned a swarm, to face down Amily! Seeing the swarm, Amily began firing at them before they then circled her, letting Baron ambush her and strike the mirror out of her hand, cutting it in two!

(I don't know what to do, being the king, I wander the world.)

Amily then ducked underneath a sideways strike and stabbed Baron in the side before bringing up a shield to block and bolt!

(Ambition is tempting me, even in sleep, like it's rushing me! Don't give me more power!)

She then blocked a sword strike from Kyoka's Brush before the latter tried to block a kick from Amily as the former twisted around, forcing the Brush down as a result while fracturing her arm!

(Close up your lungs and drown! Like your mind is taken away!)

Back with Jinga, he now took the form of a swarm of bats and circled Garo and Jaaku, whom were trying to shoot him with their firearms! "GET DOWN!" Jaaku yelled to Garo as she placed a talisman on the ground before slamming the barrel into it while he covered his eyes, causing a blinding flash!

(Let's drown forever! Even if the desire is swallowing us! La Ta La Li La Li!)

As he looked around, Garo saw Jinga above Jaaku, attempting to slash her as she blocked the strike, only for her to be kicked away! Turning around, Jinga grabbed Gōten, which suddenly appeared, by its rear legs before throwing it at Garo, whom had rolled underneath and grabbed an ammo clip that fell off of Jaaku!

As Garo fired off half the clip, Jinga flew back while deflecting five of the shots before the sixth bullets struck and began turning his left leg into gold! Feeling the effects creep up, he swiftly sliced off his own leg.

(Even the slightest hope, is far like stars in the distance! Knowing that I won't be able to reach, I still reach my hand!)

After landing, he instinctively grabbed Bakugo's arm while dodging an explosion from him before uppercutting him in the ribs repeatedly and throwing him to Garo's feet! With Amily, she was forcing Kyoka and Baron back with a swarm of butterflies as the former created a shield before rushing over to the mirror, which had somehow repaired itself!

(Just give me more power. Let's dance endlessly, chasing after an empty crazy! Ah!)

"Step aside!" Garo shouted as he shoved Bakugo away to rush Jinga, only to see him channeling the miasma into his wings, making them resemble moth wings before launching it like a cannonball at Garo! Seeing the attack coming, he then turned his arm into a Tower Shield to fend off the blast!

(Roll the dice! Let's dance forever! As a nightmare leads us! Let's dance with all of our sins! Even if the vanity swallows us! La Ta La Li La Li!)

From a shockwave made from the impact, Kyoka and Baron were knocked off their feet as the latter's armor suddenly disengaged, causing Jaaku to lose her armor as well! Kaina then took her rifle and tried to shoot Jinga in the back, only for him to deflect the shot and swiftly turned around and lunged at her with his sword pointed straight, making her use the rifle to block! Just then, Jinga felt ice enveloping his body again, allowing Kaina to shoot at his chest until he broke free seconds later and slashed her ankle before doing the same with her right hand!

(La Ta Ta Ta Ta La! The undying dream! La Ta Ta Ta Ta La! Get away, hurry! Hurry! La Ta Ta Ta Ta La! Like the bad dream… (La Ta Ta Ta Ta La!) is going to break! Oh no, I'm falling… down.)

As Garo was forced to let the energy ball pass him, his armor disengaged while Bakugo lunged at Jinga again! "Bakugo, don't!" Taiyō shouted to him in vain as Jinga regrew his leg using the miasma before kicking Kaina away and turning to grab Bakugo's arm and neck, locking him down just as the ball exploded!

Meanwhile, Amily had spotted Shoto and Ejiro standing by. "It's time we deal with these interlopers." She declared as she drew a red circle and pressed onto it using her brush, firing off six shots at the two! As Shoto saw the bolts coming, he brought up an ice shield to try and block the attack, only for the blast to knock him off his feet as Ejiro decided now to rush Jinga with hardened hands! However, as he got a meter close to him, Jinga turned to him and showed Bakugo struggling to break free. "Careful, now. Don't want to hurt the meat shield, do you?" He asked tauntingly as he was then blasted in the face by a point-blank explosion, which did nothing unfortunately.

Track Playing: wrath from Zero: Dragon Blood

"Jinga, drop the freak and face me! They have nothing to do with this." Taiyō stated, causing Jinga to cackle at him. "Oh, he, or more accurately his powers, have more to do with this than you realize." He declared before turning his head to Bakugo sinisterly. "Speaking of which, I think I'll harvest this crop." "LET ME GO!!!" Katsuki screamed before he began to get choked out as Jinga squeezed his bicep harder! "Ah ah ah, that's no way for food to talk to a farmer." He claimed before beginning to inhale, briefly causing a black aura to cover before Jinga suddenly began to screech in agony! Letting go to reach behind himself, Kaina sprinted to Katsuki to catch him and jump over to Taiyō on one foot, giving him the chance to turn his arm into a lance! Unfortunately as he fired the lance-arm at Jinga, a wall of ice swiftly formed between them by Shoto, causing the lance to freeze midway! Growling in frustration, Amily then heard Glare coming from the device. "Amily, the UA staff are almost here. Time to head for the rendezvous point." "Yokai." She said as she sprouted two new bug legs from her back to grab Tomura and Kurogiri. "Hey, what are you doing?!" The former demanded as Amily then walked over to Jinga, who had finally yanked a dagger. "Play time's over, darling. We have to leave." "Pity, and I was just having a blast." He claimed before hooking an arm around Amily's waist before spreading his wings and flying into the air! "STOP THEM!" Taiyō yelled out as he desperately tried to yank his lance-arm out before firing the last six bullets into the ice, breaking it enough to free his arm! Unfortunately, as he formed his lance into a Morningstar and smashes the weakened part of the ice, he sees Jinga, Amily, Tomura, and Kurogiri flying into a portal! "We will meet again, Taiyō Shimura. Sooner than you think!" Amily informed him tauntingly as he futilely pulled the trigger at them as they flew through the portal, disappearing.

"No. NO! I had them, ONE OF THEM!" Taiyō screamed, seething with rage before turning to face Katsuki, Shoto, Eijiro, and Ochaco as she and Momo and Rikido ran down the stairs to help All Might. "And you circus-ranked freak shows let them slip away!" He claimed with nothing but hate in his voice and eyes as fangs became visible, startling everyone conscious. Just then, Taiyō heard the unconscious Villains wake up, getting him to turn to the nearest one, a woman with short hair and horn-like pigtails made of longer hair, wearing magenta sports clothes with bulky bracers. "You." He said maliciously before walking over to her while unloading the clip and kicking it at her face, lightly disorienting her. Simultaneously, Taiyō then extended his metal arm towards another dropped ammo clip before retracting it and loading it in the magnum. Finally, as he reached her, he kicked her back down while never breaking eye-contact. "Start talking. The only reason you're alive is because Iota wasn't here when this all started..." "Core processor and operating system intact. Rage operating at 110%. Error detected." Iota stated as Taiyō waited for him to stop. "Why were the swordsman and the woman with the brush here? What were they after!?" "T-the same reason we're here? To kill All Might!" The woman claimed nervously as the other Villains fully came to and saw the interrogation. "Jinga and Amily have not been seen in over a decade and a half! WHY HERE?! WHY NOW?!" Taiyō demanded as he pointed the magnum at her face with a finger on the trigger! At the same time, Kyoka noticed the same black miasma that was on Jinga appear on his real arm as it traveled up to his head! "Answer me. Now!" He demanded coldly one more time. "What the actual fuck?" "Dekiru, what are you doing?" Ochaco asked nervously as Katsuki began to look on in shock. "Wait, please, I-I'm only an F-ranked Villain! I don't know anything about their real plans!" She told him before he then cocked the gun. "No! Please don't hurt me! Please don't hurt me!" She pleaded before immediately getting most of the fingers on her right hand blown off with a single shot! "IZUKU, STOP! This isn't you, this isn't the boy I met!" Kyoka shouted to Taiyō as he showed unresponsive, only focusing on the now horrified woman now attempting to crawl back from him before planting a boot onto her stomach to keep her pinned. What he said next was unintelligible to normal ears, except for the Wataru, Kaina, and Kyoka as their eyes widened and the latter rushed to him!

Ceasing the opportunity, Taiyō then turned his hand into a flail before spinning it for momentum. However, before he could land the final blow, a bullet struck the side of the weapon, knocking it off course as it smashes the ground to the Villain's left! "I said stop!" Kyoka shouted as she swung her Brush forward, creating a tether to grab his right arm before pulling him to her! Unfortunately he recalled the Flail-arm and turned it into a simple blade before stabbing it into her hip! "KYOKA JIRO!" Momo screamed out in horror as Wataru was about to run in, when Kaina whistled to him. "Wait. She's about to subdue him." She informed everyone as she looked on.

Fighting through the pain, Kyoka wrapped the tether around her arm and grabbed the blade with the other, keeping him restrained as she took a deep breath.

Kyoka: Unara na hete kako wa age… iya na kadota hi ni wo noku…

Suddenly, as she started singing, everything went quiet as everyone in the area began to calm down, almost as if they were in a trance.

Kyoka: hare suri hi uki tsuku… ukayaga kajimu jin… kyuu ie kuzu ginga no te…

As the injuries on Taiyō began to heal, his eyes blinked in recognition as he then saw Kyoka singing as the blade-arm began to be pushed out of the wound, allowing it to heal as well, leaving only a scar behind.

"Kyoka?" Taiyō asked in horror as his Blade-arm changed back before Kyoka stumbled backwards, taking a few deep breaths. "Are you okay!?" "I'll be fine. But we have bigger things to worry about." Kyoka stated as she dispelled the tether and allowed Taiyō to turn around, seeing the surviving Villains stare at him. "No, we don't." He whispered to her before stepping forward and taking a deep breath. "What I did to your little friend was just a warning! Either surrender now to the gentleman who saved her life, or die by my hand!" He told them stoically as he turned his arm into lance, getting most of them to look at one-another before they got onto their knees and placed their hands behind their heads. "What the… come on, guys, there's twenty of us and only one of him!" "It won't matter." One of the Villains tell another as she points to the top of the stairs and sees a humanoid man with exposed teeth and single pointed legs heading down the stairs, spewing out a thick fog from his mouth before it turned into solid individual copies of himself.

Moments after everyone was outside, All Might and Aizawa were loaded up into ambulances as the surviving Villains were being loaded onto a police bus. "First Hound Dog and now Thirteen? This is not turning out well." A man with an organic-looking gas mask on, wearing a mostly stereotypical cowboy attire with a red cloak and a bizarre-looking gun with a bulky cylinder. "No, Snipe, it's not. And now it seems you'll have another problem to deal with." A normal-looking man in a trenchcoat told him before turning to see Taiyō sitting on the stairs, staring down into a blue flame from a lighter Kaina was holding. "Hm, it doesn't look like any possession. You just need to report to your armor's tower and you'll be good as new." "The same can't be said about Iota though." Wataru stated as he and Kyoka carried Iota's halves to them. "It'll be weeks before he's repaired and back in action." "Install a proper jaw mechanism. I will bite their ankles off." Iota demanded as two police men and the detective walked over to them. "Taiyō Midoriya? I'm Detective Naomasa Tsukauchi, I have a few questions for you." The Naomasa told Taiyō as Kaina reached for her rifle and Iota turned his arms into guns, causing the two officers to reach for their guns before being stopped by the detective. "Your principal told me about you all. I'm not here to arrest any of you, I just want to know what happened." He tells them, getting Kaina to take her hand off her weapon as Iota doesn't budge. "The late creator, Edred Maximo, installed a protocol that dictates that if an Outlander unit is captured, they must self-destruct." "Just remain on standby. Alright, go ahead." Taiyō says to Nasomasa as he pulls out a notepad. "We were informed that you, uh… interrogated one of the Villains. What did they say?" He asked before noticing he flinched when he said "interrogated". "She said that most of them were here to kill All Might, and that she was an F-rank Villain." Taiyō told him, letting him write it down. "Detective, if it's alright with you, I wish to see Shota Aizawa and Thirteen. See if they still have their Quirks." "Don't bother with Thirteen, when Amily grabbed her, she was sucked dry of anything resembling her powers." He tells Wataru as Naomasa writes that down too. "And how can you tell?" "We have specialized lighters that see a tinge of it in their eyes. It was meant for something else." Kaina informs him, letting him write it down. "Then, that leaves one last question; Who left those injuries on All Might?" He asked, causing most of them to clam up. "I should… check up on the victims." Wataru claimed before putting Iota down next to Taiyō and walking off to one of the ambulances before Kaina sighed. "We'll tell you, but you must understand that these people are not Villains and no longer considered human. They must be put down for everyone's sake, not locked up. So I need you to promise me that you will tell us if you find them, they will break out and slaughter anyone with glee." She tells Naomasa with a straight face, getting him to think it over. A moment later, he nodded in agreement. "One is a white-haired male wearing dark dress clothes, he carries a jian sword in a scabbard that's made of a charcoal gray hide. And the other is a long-haired female wearing a blue dress. If you see a blue butterfly after the sun goes down, that's how you know you're close." She explains to him. "Thank you for your time, and while I won't condone your vigilantism, I will thank you for prioritizing the student's safety." "That would've been easier if Bakugo hadn't kept getting in the way and having Eijiro Kirishima and Shoto Todoroki step in." Taiyō stated as Naomasa nodded before he and the two officers left.

"So what's your 'expert' opinion on Mr. Aizawa's condition." Naomasa asked with air quotes as he saw Wataru hop out of the van before it and the second one drove off. "Depending on whom you ask, not good. His Quirk is dying, and the point of origin was near his eyes." He informs him, surprising him. "Wait, WHAT?!" He shouted as he looked at the ambulances leaving.

"So, how did you three know we were in trouble? We were never able to call for help outside of sending Iida out." Kyoka asked Kaina. "Oh, that's right." She said as she pulled out a small puck-shaped device. "While we were at home, planning our honeymoon, we discovered this on the living room table. It played a message once before short circuiting, but the message in left in hologram form was clear: Head to the U.S.J., Garo and his classmates are in danger. And we know that it was sketchy. Random object appears with a hologram of a man who looks like a scientist, tells us about an attack and then shuts down." She explains to them before noticing Taiyō seeing something flying overhead. "Taiyō?" "Jinga's still here." He said as Kaina pulled out her rifle and looked through the scope, seeing him flying empty-handed. "Oh my god, he really is still here." She muttered in confusion. "What is he up to?" "Perhaps ask Taiyō when he comes back." Iota tells her before she and Kyoka notice Taiyō running after Jinga. "Why am I not surprised? Kyoka, tell Wataru what happened." Kaina tells Kyoka before following Taiyō.

"Doctor, this is Jinga, the boy is following me." "Excellent. Make sure he follows you, but don't let him catch you. I want to see him myself." Glare tells Jinga through a device on his temple as he flew over the trees before turning his head back to see Taiyō about to take aim at him. As the first shot was fired, he rolled out of the way, only to get a wing shot through by a second shot! Seeing Jinga fall to the ground, Taiyō turned around to see Kaina aiming at Jinga! "Kaina, you followed?" "Obviously. It'd be a death wish to face him alone." She tells him while keeping her rifle trained on Jinga. "So was following in general." He states before he backflips into a blood red portal that quickly appears behind him and closes just as quickly! "What the hell was that?! Was that how they were able to get in and out of the U.S.J.?!" "No, the portal they used was made of dark-colored smoke. This was more like a window, it was used earlier to capture All Might." Taiyō explained as he and Kaina walked over to where Jinga was. "Eitherway, it sounds like I'm about to meet whoever's the real mastermind." "No, we're about to meet them. Like I said: going alone is a suicide mission." Kaina told him before seeing Taiyō look conflicted. "Are… are you sure? The reason I ran off alone was to not endanger you guys." He stated. "Taiyō, Wataru and I came here not knowing how we'd fare against Jinga. And Kyoka got hurt by you after he and Amily escaped." She reassured him, holding the rifle close with a confident smile.

"They did what?!" "We have to go now, I think they're running into a trap!" Kyoka tells Wataru as everyone listens. "Then it's time to leave this to the Pros." A sentiment slab of cement with humanoid features, wearing a brown with yellow-striped sleeveless suit, said with a seemingly stern expression. "No, don't! You go after Jinga, you'll lose everything!" Wataru tells him, getting him and the other members to look at him before Thirteen got up. "He's right, I've experienced what one of them could do! With a single punch, the woman he came in with shattered my helmet, before sucking my Quirk out of my body as if I was just some energy drink. I hate to say this, but this must be left to people like him." She tells them before getting up and walking over to the students. "For now, we should prioritize getting the students back to school. I'm sure this event has left some of them… with a new experience, to say the least." "Wait, before we go back, I want to ask something." Ochaco asked Thirteen, getting her to look confused. "If you're going to ask her why Taiyō would shoot off someone's fingers to get answers, then you're wasting your time by asking the wrong person." Kyoka tells her, getting everyone to look at her now. "Then tell us, why was he so hellbent on killing those two Villains? A desire for revenge?" Shoto asked her as he crossed his arms, getting her to tap her nose. "Vaguely, yes. All I can say is that they stole something more precious than diamonds from him, but you'll have to ask Taiyō for the rest." She tells him before turning to the staff. "Some of you can stay if you want, but I need Detective Naomasa to drive Wataru and I to where Taiyō and Kaina ran off. I feel they'll need backup."

Meanwhile, Taiyō and Kaina continued to follow Jinga's direction until they came across an abandoned, rundown building and saw Jinga with Tomura and Glare, now wearing an amulet that resembled an eye, as the latter held his shield up, causing it to shoot out a paper-thin beam that opens a blood red portal with a view of his laboratory. "Wait. That's the informant we saw on the device!" Kaina whispered as Jinga turned around, spotting them. "As promised: Taiyō Shimura, and Kaina Shijima as a bonus." You've done good. You may go." Glare tells Jinga before he takes a bow and immediately jumps backwards into the portal before it closes. "NO!" Taiyō yelled out in anger before he sharply exhaled. "All right, who are you?! Because judging by that rift you made, you're the one who trapped All Might instead of this "Kurogiri"!" "Very astute, Mr. Shimura. I am Doctor Glare, a fellow rebel against the Quirks and the one behind your present concern." Glare introduced as he bowed to him. "You're an Anti-Quirk radical? Then why enlist this League of Villains kids, you think I'm a sympathizer?" "You won't be calling us children after I tear you to-" "I wanted to meet you…" glare interrupted while shoving Tomura to the ground and pausing. "Experience you, for myself. Hmahahaha! The prince of Knights! Hero across time itself! One of the only two armors to stand up to be able to stand up to the overwhelming might and power of Lord Veil through sheer skill alone! Hehehe, can the Cunning Knight-turned-Dark Knight: Zex measure up?! Can I survive and live to tell the tale?! The attack on the U.S.J. has been a ruse to test our abilities and willpower!" He declared crazily as everyone looked at him in shock! "I, uh… I don't know what else to say other than he didn't sound like a fruitcake when he talked to us." "Okaaay… then I guess you got permission from Veil to have you face me?" Taiyō asked as he recovered from that speech. "He only told me to gauge your powers and report back. But after hearing what you did to our High-End Plague Horror, I've decided to kill you here and now!"

(Glare's (?)Lab)

(Dr. Glare: I'm sure he'll thank me later.)

"Hmm. The Anti-Quirk Virus' progression is steady, but slow." Veil says as he puts emphasis on the "slow" part by lowering the bass of his voice while inspecting a tall, blonde woman with a mostly fox-like head tied up to a chair with a light cut on her left arm, showing the fur around it progressively falling off and showing healthy skin underneath. "Crow, meet me at the command table." He calmly called out as the first Plague Horror walked over to him as he met it halfway at the command table. "An army capable of distributing the virus is a nice idea, but it would be wiped out when the Makai Order rallies their Knights and Priests against them while being able to find a way to cure the disease, if there is a way to make one." Veil states quietly as he pushed in a few commands, showing him a holographic video feed of a man wearing a blue bodysuit with a lighter upper half and a darker bottom half shooting a laser beam from his right eye at a glass dome surrounding him before a gas was sent in, causing the beam to instantly die out. "Total saturation is fine, but I won't be able to gas the whole planet before they shoot down my main distributing mechanism." He muttered before he began to think of a countermeasure while viewing the feed, showing the man was now clutching his eye before attempting to fire another laser, only to find that he can't anymore. 'What if… I exposed her repeatedly?' He mentally asked before turning to Crow. "Crow, give our guest three more cuts on random body parts, minus the one you did already." He commands, causing Crow to move to the woman. "Just make sure the cuts only break the skin. We don't need her friends and family worrying about any scars." "If thou wishes, so be it." It says after stopping to hear Veil before walking over to her, causing her to whimper as a cut is placed on her right cheek, stomach, and left leg. As a result the fur fell off faster as her face and ears receded into a clean, normal human head with a pointed nose. "Yes! The greater the exposure, the more rapidly the effect! I've completed five tests; Saturation of both monster and human, contagion and longevity, and acceleration attempts!" Veil shouted in triumph as he then pulled out a talisman before walking over to the, now Quirkless, woman and places it onto her forehead, causing her to pass out. "Take her away, I'll have Glare teleport her back without her memories later." He commanded as Crow lifted the chair up and carried the woman away. "All I need to do is hide a few Plague Horrors and/or Nomu in some heavily populated area, unleash the payload, and rest will take care." Veil claimed as he happily walked back to the center of the room. "We now can fit it into phase two of my-" "Veil!" Someone shouted to him, getting him to turn around and see a man wearing a black suit with a bulky, black metal helmet with tubes connecting from the back to the front of the neck on and a bald, shorty, elderly man with a big bushy mustache, wearing a pair of goggles and a buttoned-up lab coat. "Oh. Yes. You're still here." Veil says, sounding annoyed. "Do you have any idea how long and how much effort it took to make Nomu as powerful as All Might?! You turned my best child into a true monste-AH!" The old man screamed as he was pulled up by the taller man, just before a segmented blade instantly stabbed into where he was! "The Near High-End would've met a much quicker death, so be grateful that I cared just enough for your crimes against creation itself." He told him coldly as he yanked the hilt back, pulling the blade from the ground and returning it to its original longsword shape. "What the good doctor means is that we feel we are losing more than gaining from investing in you, Veil. Do you have anything to put his mind at ease?" The man asked, getting Veil to look at the data on the terminal. "You're in luck. My newest weapons just got out of beta."

Track playing: Sword Dance from Zero: Dragon Blood

Back with Taiyō, he was blocking a strike from Glare with a Shield-arm before copying him, only for the sword to get knocked out of his hand! Turning his arm into mace, Taiyō then ducked underneath a bash before punching Glare in the gut! "Game over, you brat!" Tomura shouted as he rushed at him while Kaina pulled off her brush from her rifle before using a tether to grab his sword and throw it back to Taiyō! "Heads up!" She shouted, getting his attention as then he grabbed the sword and summoned Garo's right arm in front of him before he reversed his grip and slammed the pommel into Tomura's left rib! "Keep the gamer off my back!" Garo orders Kaina as she copies his armor and weapon before she jumped in front of Tomura just as he was about to lunge at him again, stopping him. Aggravated, he then lunged and grabbed Jaaku's arm before getting his neck grabbed, his legs tripped, and slammed onto the ground! Meanwhile, Dr. Glare raised his shield before summoning his armor, surprising Garo. "He really is Zex. Alright." He muttered before steeling himself and attempting to strike him with a mace-arm, getting Zex to block the attack before getting slashed in his right arm! He then swept Garo's legs with a kick and shield-bashed him into the building before seeing two cables coming at him from Garo's chest, getting Zex to grab them with two fingers! Unfortunately, he was then forcibly yanked towards Garo as he pointed his sword out with both hands, making him pull up his shield a fired a beam from the lion engraving's eyes and open a portal behind Jaaku, who was still pinning Tomura to the ground, before drop-kicking him into her, freeing Tomura! Jaaku then pulled out her rifle with the brush reconnected and fired an energy bolt at Zex as Garo charged at him, only for another portal to open in front of himself and cause the shot to him Garo, knocking him out of the air early before he then fell through a third portal leading back to the U.S.J., which closed right above him! "Taiy-ah!" Jaaku shouted before she was unceremoniously dropped back to the U.S.J. by yet another portal.

"I told you, you wouldn't have stood a chance." "Damnit! Why? Why couldn't my Quirk destroy that armor?!" Tomura demanded as he scratched his neck until Zex grabbed his arm. "Because Soul Metal is unaffected by your poultry powers."

"Are you okay, Garo?" Jaaku asked as she pulled Garo off of a police car. "Yeah, but it looks like he augmented the armor's shield to project portals to other places the wielder has been to." He theorized as Nezu walked up to them. "How nice of you two to drop in. Did you find out what the trap was?" "Yes, Nezu. This whole attack was orchestrated to get Taiyō alone." Jaaku stated as Gōten appeared behind them. "Get on. We're going back." Garo told her as he was sitting on Gōten. With a nod, Jaaku hopped onto Gōten before it rode off.

"Is everything set up?" "Yes, thy lord." A Plague Horror with a toucan's beak said to Zex. "Good. You and Tomura can head back, I'll give them a second head start." "Not until I've destroyed that brat to the last atom!" Tomura tells him, only getting a chuckle out of him. "Toucan, drag him back. Tell All For One he was a useful tool." Zex tells Toucan, getting him to instantly grab Tomura as he thrashes in its grip while it hopped in. Afterwards, he waited for Garo and Jaaku for a few seconds. "No? Tsk tsk tsk. How disappointing." He said as he was suddenly kicked in the stomach by Garo, knocking him to the ground and knocking the wind out of him! "Miss me?" Garo asked with a growl as Jaaku rode closer to them on Gōten. "H… how?" Zex asks with a wheezy voice until he begins taking deep breaths. "You… you should've turned bac-" "Zedom's seeds! I can fight just as long as you Ankoku Kishis can! Now start talking." Garo demanded irritatedly as he grabbed him by the ears on the helmet! "E-everything's been secured in a container called "The Vault"! Straight to the back wall and input the code 4-0-0-1!" "I'll take it from here." Jaaku tells Garo before she ran into the building just as a police car drove next to Gōten. "And while she's raiding your supplies, you can tell me what Jinga's planning." He says to Zex as Kyoka, Wataru, Naomasa run up to him. "Taiyō, what's going on?" "What's going on is that this is Lord Veil's plan, really, and it'll be… breathtaking in the final stages! While I, in my obsessive desire to defeat you, was planning on planting explosives inside that old building, then giving your aunt-in-arms the detonation code that spells "FOOL" as closely as possible." Zex informs everyone sinisterly, causing Garo to drop him and sprint into the building. "KAINA, WAIT!" he screamed moments later, the inside of the building exploded, leaving everyone, but Zex, in shock and horror. "Hehehehe! WOHOHO! I DID IT!" He yelled out in triumph as Kyoka dropped to her knees as she began to silently cry. "I can't believe it was that easy! Lord Veil had him pegged all wrong." He stated when one of Veil's arms snapped from the portal and grabbed him by the neck before yanking him through.

"HOW DARE YOU TWO!!!" Veil yelled out in rage as he slammed both Zex, who reverted back to Dr. Glare, and Tomura, who was missing his hand-mask, revealing his scarred up face, onto the, now damaged, bar table! "But he's gone now. He can't get in the way of your plans." "Taiyō Shimura is NO ONE'S to destroy!" He tells Glare while briefly squeezing harder, cracking the table more than it already is. "And even if I wanted it, it's not the job of a couple of upstarts like you! With my resources, I could carpet bomb him any day! But that's not enough, THAT'S NOT THE POINT! I have to control him! I need him to join me in my crusade! There's a right and a wrong way to defeat your family's nemesis, and you two did it very, very, wrong." Veil tells them as he tone went extremely venomous while pushing on them and squeezing their throats harder, nearly crushing their windpipes. "I'm… sorry… sir!" Tomura gasped out, wanting to live. "You all should be." Veil tells him before loosening his grip a little, lifting them up, and tossing them to either side. "Don't let it happen again." He tells them ominously calmly as they gasp for air. As he then turned around, he saw Kurogiri warping in. "Tell your master to screw that stray's head on tight, and I mean before he gets himself killed." "Wa-wait. He's already dead, how can we not do it again?" Glare asks as Veil taps the side of his head, causing it to project a holographic display to appear before him. "Lucky for you two, the wielders of the Golden Knight are too tenacious to die from such barbarism." He claimed before hitting a play button, showing him a video of what happened afterwards from inside the now scorched building. "Kaina, are you alright?!" "Thank god... that there was a... delay!" Kaina stated exhaustively as they were currently in a blue dome until she fell unconscious, having Taiyō catch her! "Kaina!" He shouted before the feed cutted out. "I expect a full report on Shoebill's performance today. And I'll take my report on your observation of Taiyō Shimura now, thank you." "He only gave me minor trouble, but he seemed to learn and adapt fast, sir. With more training, he'll be a worthy Dark Knight."

"We need security improvements, perhaps an entire system overhaul." "Warp Quirks are very rare, and can completely change the course of a battle. It's frightening to know that a Villain or two have such power." A black-haired heroine stated as she and Nezu turned around, hearing someone walking up to them. "Madam Grace. It's a surprise to see you so soon." "Yes, and not a good surprise either. First, U.A.'s security system was breached, and now I am informed that Jinga, Amily, Zex, and a new variant of Horror has injured a couple of students, damaged a high quality machine, and now two more teachers have lost their Quirks." Grace stated, disappointedly. "I know, and I am sorry. We'll be sure to be ready for them next time." Nezu claims, causing her to squint at his words.

"And when I entered the code, all I saw were drums full of Blaze, each one with a detonator." Kaina told Wataru as she was laying in a hospital bed with Recovery Girl, Taiyō, Kyoka, and Detective Naomasa next to her. "And was that all in the building?" "I can confirm it as well. Now, how are the other students and All Might? Is he..." Taiyō paused while waiting for Naomasa to finish for him, getting him to sigh. "Most of the students are physically fine except for Katsuki Bakugo, Mina Ahisdo, and Eijiro Kirishima, who have suffered several fractured bones, and lacerations respectively. As for All Might, unfortunately, his condition was the most severe." He said before taking a deep breath. "Whatever Jinga did to him caused his stomach to be damaged beyond repair. He'll be out of commission much longer than everyone else, in fact, he may have to retire shortly after this." "So basically the students get scarred for life, seeing the number one Hero crippled, while said Hero is done for. This will have repercussions." Wataru declares as Kyoka rubbed her right arm before turning to Taiyō. "Taiyō, can I see you outside? I want to say something in private."She tells him, sounding ashamed, as he then nodded before turning to Recovery Girl. "Nurse, will Kaina be fit to leave soon?" "Huh? Well, Mrs. Shijima's only real injuries are a few cuts and bruises, plus her exhaustion. So, yes, I'd say she'll be ready to leave tonight." She tells Taiyō. He then followed Kyoka out of the room. "Mr. Shijima, there's something that's been bugging me. Earlier this afternoon, I noticed that when your wife got defensive, she reached for an actual rifle instead of her Quirk: Rifle. Any reason why?" "You know, it's rude to talk about someone when they're right next to you." Kaina claimed as Naomasa turned to her and bowed briefly. "Apologies. I wanted to let you rest. Could you answer the question? I'll leave afterwards." He stated, letting her think on it as she then looked at her right arm before binding it. And for a split second, Kaina could've sworn she saw an organic rifle with splatters of blood on it and her forearm, startling her as she gasped and grabbed her arm and began breathing haggardly. "I'll tell you if you promise me something." She said as Wataru rushed to her side. "Look for the skeletons the Public Safely Commision h-hides."

"Taiyō, I feel like I owe you an apology. You wanted nothing to do with Quirk society, going as far as letting Horrors consume Quirks but stopping them from consuming the victim. For better or worse, I thought if you were recommended to come here and expose Aizawa, you would get some closure." Kyoka said as she walked over to the window and stared outside. "Instead I caused you to become worse off. You discovered your parent's killer, tortured a Villain, and attacked a friend." She stated as she looked at Taiyō through the reflection before closing her eyes. "Kyoka, I'll admit I was furious when I heard you recommended me for this, but I think in the end it was the right choice. Somehow, it lured Jinga out of hiding and exposed a new threat to the Order. Though we may have to erase their memories to keep them quiet." He tells Kyoka as he then walked up to her and places a hand on her shoulder. "You shouldn't feel bad for wanting to give someone closure. I should've handled it better. Which reminds me. Do you have Zaruba?" He asked as she pulled Zaruba from a pocket and handed it to him. "Zaruba, I am so sorry-" "Just… don't do it again! We need to work together, and listen to each other. Can you do that?" He asked as Taiyō nodded before placing Zaruba on his prosthetic arm.
