[Flashback]

A few days ago, All Might pushed the double doors of the Heights Alliance wide open, which unknowingly thrusted Kaminari away towards his halted classmates. All Class 1-A students turned around to see the former number one hero, Tsukauchi, Tarot Chariot, and Nezu.

"I am here!" All Might cried out. "Entering in a totally chill way!"

"Detective Tsukauchi and Principal Nezu." Sato muttered with a surprised face as he took off his gloves. "Even Tarot Chariot is here."

"Have you come with news about Aoyama?" Yaoyorozu asked.

Tsukauchi raised one finger up as a response, signaling all the students to pay close attention to what All Might has to say.

"I need you all to listen closely for now. We're only telling selected people when I'm about to share." All Might responded with a determined face. "It's time we discuss the future of our world. The final battle plan."

All Might, Tsukauchi, Tarot Chariot, and Nezu stepped into the living room.

"Let's be realistic." All Might said. "Every pro hero we can spare is scouring the country in an attempt to find All For One. But to be honest, we're not expecting them to succeed."

"That's exactly what Bakugo's been saying this whole time." Kaminari sighed tiredly.

"Yeah, but it hits different when you hear it from All Might." Sato chimed in.

"Does that mean we're giving up?" Mineta asked.

"The opposite." Tsukauchi finally spoke up. "Here's where Eraser's plan comes in."

"If you want to lure out someone who is both cunning and cowardly, you must massage reality and make them believe they're in control." All Might explained.

"So we pretend we're desperate because the walking nutsack is too smart for us." Katsuki said in a calming tone. "Stroke his ego."

"Do you have to put it like that?" Sero deadpanned.

"We'll proceed on the assumption that he's still using Search. He's got his eyes on us." Tsukauchi stated, pulling out some documents in his hand. "It's probably safe to say your every move has been noted lately. That's good. If he's watched us since Midoriya and Luna came back, he'll believe we're frantic and exhausted. The goal is to have him think we're making a series of bad moves one after the other. That he has got us bested. He won't see Eraser's plan coming. We'll use his own informant, Aoyama, to lure him out into the open on our terms."

"We're currently working on logistics." All Might added.

Iida, Izuku, and Luna gasped.

"So, Aoyama's helping us?" Izuku asked as his eyes teared up with hope and excitement.

All Might nodded his head as a confirming response.

Class 1-A cheered in relief and joyousness.

"Excuse me, sir." Yaoyorozu chimed in.

Yaoyorozu's words interrupted everyone's cheering moment.

"How will we go about deceiving him? Aoyama's father was scared." Yaoyorozu pointed out. "If it's true that All For One is able to tell when someone's lying, won't we be putting Aoyama and his family at great risk by trying this?"

"We've planned for that, too." Tarot Chariot replied. "According to the Aoyamas, every time All For One contacts them, it's over the phone. Calls only. So, there's never written communication."

"Given the number of informants in his network, he must have a way of instantly knowing if they're being honest with him. We've pretty sure he has a way of detecting a lie through their voice immediately." All Might added. "Therefore, if there is no lie in the audio he hears, he'll believe he can show up without fear. That's why we'll go with Aizawa's idea and use his power."

Class 1-A students gasped collectively.

All Might turned to the double doors.

"Come on in!" All Might called out.

At that moment, a familiar student opened the door and walked into the room. Everyone gasped in surprise with wide eyes. The familiar student was revealed to be Shinso. Shinso's hero costume has been upgraded since the Joint Training Battle. He wore a short-sleeved black shirt with a fishnet-like undershirt and fishnet arm sleeves, gray shoulder pads, knuckle guard gloves that are only fingerless on the index and thumb, black pants with purple elbow pads, four mini speaker-like buttons and belt around the waist, purple straps around the thighs and calves with a mini speaker-like device on the side, and white boots with purple tips and soles. He also wore his Artificial Vocal Cords on his face and Capturing Weapon around his neck.

"Hey." Shinso greeted with a wave.

"Shinso!" Mineta exclaimed.

"Your costume looks awesome!" Kirishima complimented.

"I'm kinda confused about how Shinso's Quirk is supposed to be utilized for this plan." Tsuyu pointed out. "I was on his team for combat training." She turned to Shinso. "You said your power came with limitations."

"A lot's changed since then. I thought I'd be transferring into the hero course in April and competing against you guys as your classmates." Shinso explained with a soft smile. His soft expression then switched into determination. "But I guess we have more important issues than my transfer at the moment. Still, I've been training hard to develop my Quirk."

"You've improved your power? So this trick will work?" Tsuyu asked.

"It should." Shinso confirmed. "Like this. I'll use Brainwashing to make Aoyama and his parents talk. They'll say what I want them to, but my intentions will stay hidden from the enemy."

"That's incredible!" Class 1-A students exclaimed.

"It won't be easy, though." Shinso added. "Using my Quirk this way is difficult."

Kirishima, Kaminari, Mineta, Koda, Sato, and Ojiro began circling around Shinso.

"You got this!"

"We really owe you one, dude!"

"Do you wanna be in Class A or Class B?"

"Obviously A!"

"What's your hero name?"

"They're so happy." Shinso mumbled to himself. "What's their problem?"

"Shinso was able to amp up his power thanks to intense extracurricular instruction from Aizawa." Nezu chimed in as he clinged onto Tsukauchi's shoulders from behind.

"Amazing! Mr. Aizawa really is the coolest!" Sato, Kaminari, Kirishima, Ojiro, and Kaminari cheered.

"And before you ask, Shinso does not have his provisional license yet." Nezu explained. "But since this is an emergency, the Heroes Public Safety Commission said they would make an expectation for him."

"Whoa!" Class 1-A student said.

"That's great. But you haven't addressed what comes next." Tokoyami pointed out as he raised his hand. "We're supposed to lure out the villains and capture them en masse. How do we do that?"

Sero, Kaminari, Ojiro, Kirishima, and Koda went silent for a response.

"Our numbers are dwindling. and it would be suspicious if we gathered in one place." Tokoyami continued. "Why would our enemies come?"

"No worries. The heroes won't be there." Tarot Chariot replied.

"For this to work, we'll need the help of another individual." Tsukauchi stated.

[Flashback Ends]

Afterwards, Aizawa and Vlad King escorted Monoma to Kurogiri's cell in Central Hospital as a special request from All Might. Because Aizawa's Erasure won't function with just one eye, he'll be sidelined in the battle. Up until now, Monoma copied and successfully mastered Kurogiri's Warp Gate.

With his copied Warp Gate, Monoma summoned multiple purplish-black misty portals and brought out all the pro heroes altogether on the battlefield.

"Look who's in the spotlight now!" Monoma laughed hysterically.

All the heroes and villains charged toward each other from opposite sides.

Tomura bent down and touched the ground, but he stopped and started sensing something strangely bizarre from his shaking hand.

"Dabi." Tomura called to Dabi.

Dabi already dashed past Tomura with his right hand already ignited with his blue flames.

"Not now, boss man!" Dabi shouted sarcastically. "I'm spoken for!"

Dabi dashed straight toward Endeavor, who was jetting forward with his flames.

"I didn't think that you'd be here for me to slaughter, dear old dad!" Dabi taunted. "Before we start, how about I cremate your friends?!"

Dabi shot out a huge burst of blue flames toward Endeavor, but a large eruption of ice appeared from the misty warp gate and canceled out his fire. Dabi turned his head to the source of the ice-based attack and saw Shoto and Aisha emerging from another Warp Gate.

Dabi laughed.

"No way am I going to allow that! Not today, brother!" Shoto yelled.

"Hey there, Shoto!" Dabi yelled back with excitement. "And it's been a while, Aisha!"

Aisha narrowed her eyes in anger.

Then, the rest of Class 1-A students began emerging from other Warp Gates.

You're gathering in droves. All For One thought to himself. Is this where you plan to mount a feeble last stand?

Then suddenly, a large metal cage emerged from beneath the battlefield and enclosed one group of villains all at once. Several more metal cages began rising up and trapped most of the villains individually, including Toga, Tomura, Dabi, and All For One.

"A cage? You think this'll hold me?" Dabi shouted.

They know we'll be able to tear these apart in seconds. All For One thought to himself. So why have they gone through such trouble? Surely, this isn't their whole strategy. Under his mask, his face lit up in realization. Ah, I see, All Might. That's your goal.

Then, the metal cages slowly propelled with small rockets behind them.

"Surprised ya, didn't I?!" Monoma shouted.

Monona conjured several more warp gates and the metal cages began moving towards them.

"The gates are ready!" Monoma cried out. "Put some muscle into it, heroes!"

The Pro Heroes and Class 1-A students charged forward towards the metal cages.

Shortsighted fool. All For One thought. Do you really think you can split up?

Inside the metal cages, the villains began busting the walls with their Quirks. Even though some of them successfully destroyed the cage walls, the heroes pushed them all into separate Warp Gates.

Dabi pressed his blue flames on the ground and melted down the cage walls.

"A cage like this can't even hold me three seconds!" Dabi mocked.

Just then, Shoto, Aisha, Iida, and the Flaming Sidekickers appeared in front of Dabi.

"That's all we needed!" Shoto countered. "You're going for a ride!"

The heroes, students, and sidekicks proceeded to push the metal cages with their Quirks, scattering the trapped villains into their respective warp gates simultaneously. That would put plenty of distance between the villains and the heroes, which will force the villains to fight in places All Might and Detective Tsukauchi have chosen.

"Look, I'm the one pulling all the strings!" Monoma cackled.

As the heroes continued shoving the metal cages into the designated warp gates, Izuku and Luna joined Katsuki, Hado, Mirko, Edgeshot, and Tamaki into pushing the metal cage containing Tomura into a massive warp gate with their Quirks.

Just then, a long cable came out of a nearby warp gate and snagged Izuku's arm before dragging him into the misty portal.

"What?!" Izuku gasped in confusion.

Luna quickly took notice and moved away to rescue Izuku, but a long tentacle came out from another nearby warp gate and wrapped around Luna's waist before snatching and pulling her away.

"What the?!" Luna exclaimed in shock.

Katsuki continued pushing the metal cage.

"Almost done! Don't stop till we're through!" Katsuki shouted.

Katsuki then noticed Luna and Izuku weren't with them. He turned his head to watch his childhood friend and his girlfriend being pulled into two separate warp gates.

"Deku! Luna!" Katsuki cried with wide eyes.

But it was too late for Katsuki to save Izuku and Luna once the warp gate closed on him.

Then, the rest of the warp gates vanished altogether.

With nearly some of the heroes and trapped villains warped away, Fat Gum, Aoyama, and the rest of the other heroes stood behind to deal with the villains that weren't caught in the metal cages in the parking lot.

Then, Monoma disappeared into his copied Warp Gate under All Might's orders.

The Warp Gates favorably separated the trapped villains from different locations all over Japan.

Gunga Mountain Villa Ruins: Endeavor, Hawks, Jiro, Tokoyami, and several other heroes vs. All For One

Kamino Ward: Shoto, Aisha, Iida, the Flaming Sidekickers, and several other heroes vs. Dabi

Okuto Island: Gang Orca, Uraraka, Tsuyu, Sirius, Gang Orca's Sidekicks, and several other heroes vs. Toga and Paranormal Liberation Front

Jaku City: Mt. Lady, Kirishima, Mina, Mineta, Honenuki, Kodai, Yanagi, Shinso, and several other heroes vs. Paranormal Liberation Front

Cantonica Island: Tarot Chariot, Selene, Diana, Charon, the Roulette Twins, and several other heroes vs. Paranormal Liberation Front

Central Hospital: Shoji, Koda, Present Mic, Rock Lock, and several other heroes vs. Spinner and Paranormal Liberation Front

U.A. Coffin in the Sky: Best Jeanist, Edgeshot, Mirko, Eraser Head, Bakugo, Hado, Amajiki, Monoma, Manual, Mirio, vs. Tomura Shigaraki

Meanwhile, Luna immediately landed on the ground of Cantonica Island, where it was located 600 kilometers offshore from mainland Japan as a northern island in the Pacific Ocean. The island featured gorgeous views of the ocean and a large colorful coral on a large underwater lake section.

What?! Why am I doing here?! Luna exclaimed in complete surprise as she looked around the area. I was supposed to be with Bakugo and the others at the UA fortress to fight Shigaraki!

"Luna!"

Luna turned around to the sound of that familiar voice. Her eyes widened in shock when she saw Tarot Chariot, Selene, and Diana rushing towards her.

"Are you alright?" Tarot Chariot asked. "Shouldn't you be with Shigaraki?"

"I was, but something pulled me back from entering that portal." Luna replied.

"That would be me."

Luna, Tarot Chariot, Selene, Diana, and the Roulette Twins turned their heads at the villainess standing a few feet away from them. She has a thin and slender body with light fluorescent blue skin, short wavy light-gray hair, and bluish-purple eyes. She has a black body from the bust area down with eight tentacles dotted by violet suckers on the undersides.

"Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Scylla." The villainess said as she placed both hands on her hips. "Let's have some fun."
