Earlier with Mr. Aizawa...

All he could think about was a certain little girl once the akumatized villains started making their move. He knew that Togata was with her, but he had to make sure nothing had happened to them. He kept running, knowing full well that the akumatized villains could pop up at any moment. Somehow he managed to avoid them.

"Please Togata. Please keep her safe," Mr. Aizawa said under his breath.

He kept his quirk ready, thinking he might need it soon. Before he knew it, he spotted Class 3-B and picked up the pace. He noticed that there was no one around the dormitory. He felt so relieved that no akumatized villains were around looking for the Miraculous. Once he made it to the door, he knocked on it pretty harshly.

Fortunately Togata answered the door. He looked a little worried, and Mr. Aizawa could tell that he knew what was going on.

"Mr. Aizawa, what're you doing here?" Togata asked him, still surprised to see him, "Eri was about to have some breakfast--"

Mr. Aizawa came barging in and spotted Eri having some cereal and orange juice. He was relieved to see her looking at him with a smile on her face. She sat there, eating her cereal. He let out a sigh as he noticed everyone in Togata's dormitory was looking at him with confused looks. Mr. Aizawa wondered if they had seen Chrysalis's speech at any point.

Mr. Aizawa looked at Eri again and knew that he wouldn't want to get her upset or riled up. He turned to Togata and could tell that he might've watched it.

"Are you here because of Chrysalis?" Togata asked him, "I saw the news just now. Don't worry, Eri didn't see any of it."

"Yeah. I wanted to check on her. Make sure things were still running smoothly with her," Mr. Aizawa explained, "I know her quirk won't activate with her helping out Midoriya, but that doesn't mean she won't be a target. I've gotta make sure Chrysalis doesn't spot her and find out anything about her."

"I understand sir," Togata said to Mr. Aizawa, "Do you need help with the akumatized villains? I can help if you need any."

Mr. Aizawa wanted him to help, but without his quirk he just might end up being a liability. He didn't want to get Eri involved either.

"I'd rather you stay with her. She's more important than anything else right now," Mr. Aizawa said to him, "If she got hurt or taken away because of me. I don't know if I could get her back."

Togata's eyes widened in shock and understood him. He wanted to help out, but things are different now. With akumatized villains, it just wouldn't work with Togata being quirkless. He then looked at his phone and turned it on.

"What are you doing?" Mr. Aizawa asked him.

"Do you need backup? Because I can at least help with that," Togata said with a smile.

Mr. Aizawa looked at his phone and knew exactly who he was calling. He hesitated for a moment, but knew that this would help a lot.

"I don't know if I approve, but we do need some backup. There's a lot of akumatized villains that we need to deal with," Mr. Aizawa told him.

Togata clicked on a contact number and called someone that could help out a lot. He smiled as he talked on the phone, looking determined to help out. Once he was done talking to his friends, he hung up and turned to Mr. Aizawa. He looked at him like he was ready to help out in any way that he could.

"Don't worry, Mr. Aizawa! Help is on the way!" Togata said to him with determination.

Mr. Aizawa nodded and looked back at Eri. She looked a little concerned about him, and Mr. Aizawa went in to check on her.

"Mr. Aizawa...?" Eri said to him with such big eyes.

Mr. Aizawa looked at her and knew that Togata would keep her safe. With Class 3-B students here, he knew that she would okay. He patted her head, feeling relieved to see her here.

"Don't worry Eri. Togata is going to stay here and play with you," Mr. Aizawa said to her, "I'll be back soon to check on you."

Eri looked at him and nodded. Mr. Aizawa felt like he could leave the dormitory now, feeling much better about this situation. He walked out of the dormitory, and Togata followed him.

"Don't worry sir. I'll make sure that she's okay," Togata said to him.

"I know you will," Mr. Aizawa said back, "Just be careful. You don't have a quirk right now. I'll be back to check on her."

Togata gave him a thumbs up, and Mr. Aizawa left. He ran off and headed towards the Class 3-A dormitory. He realized who Togata called, and so he decided to head over there right away. He knew that Togata and Eri would be okay, and he still wanted to get backup. If anything, they needed all the backup they could get.

Once he almost got to the dormitory, someone launched towards him with a giant sword. He dodged it just in time before he could get hurt. However, he did get a cut on his cheek when he flipped away from him.

"Well, if it isn't EraserHead. Long time no see."

Mr. Aizawa looked up to see Mr. Compress and Spinner from the League of Villains. They looked a little different, but he could tell that it was them. Mr. Compress seemed to be wearing a mask that was more representative of Chyrsalis and her butterfly symbol. Even his jacket was purple instead of a yellow beige and his gloves were black. Spinner however looked pretty much the same but had a purple bandana on around his eyes.

Mr. Aizawa didn't expect them to be akumatized considering that they didn't work for Chrysalis. He didn't care all that much and got ready to search for the akumas.

"What are you two doing here? I didn't think you two would show up," Mr. Aizawa asked them as he got his scarf ready.

"It's a long story. We'd rather not get into it," Mr. Compress said to him as he held his cane out like a sword.

"Now tell us..." Spinner said as he pointed his giant sword towards him, "Where are those Miraculous?! We promise to go easy on you if you tell us."

Mr. Aizawa put his goggles on, getting ready to fight them. They looked at him and knew he would not tell them anything. He even activated his quirk, cancelling out Mr. Compress's and Spinner's quirk.

"Like I'd tell you anything about them," Mr. Aizawa said back as he grabbed onto his scarf.

"Ooh! So intense!" Mr. Compress said to him, clearly enjoying this a bit too much, "It looks like you're not going to back down so easily!"

"No way," Mr. Aizawa growled out, "If you want those Miraculous, you're gonna have to get through me."

Spinner adjusted his grip and got ready to make his move. Mr. Compress stayed behind once he noticed Spinner getting ready to take care of things.

"I'll take care of this," Spinner said to Mr. Compress, "You stay there and watch the show."

"I'd be happy to," Mr. Compress said back as he bowed to him.

Spinner launched right at Mr. Aizawa with his giant sword, and he got ready to dodge. Once he spotted an opening, he easily dodged it as he swung widely. Spinner was surprised to see him dodge so fast, but he tried to turn it back around. Unfortunately, Mr. Aizawa was already shooting his scarf right at him. Spinner had a little trouble dodging and got his hand caught by his scarf. Mr. Aizawa pulled his grip away from the sword, but Spinner was pretty strong.

"Did anyone ever tell you that your swinging could use some work?" Mr. Aizawa pointed out, "You should really work on that."

Spinner gritted his teeth, adjusted his grip and swung his sword at the scarf. Mr. Aizawa's scarf got it cut up a little bit, but he was able to pull it away from him. Spinner backed up and launched right at him again. Mr. Aizawa made sure that Mr. Compress wasn't planning any sort of trap or plan while he was fighting Spinner. He was definitely the type of person to do that, especially after what happened during summer camp.

"Stay still!" Spinner cried out as he ran at Mr. Aizawa with his sword.

Mr. Aizawa waited for him to swing again, but this time he flipped over him and threw his scarf right at him. Spinner got wrapped up in the scarf and almost dropped his sword. He tried to pick it up and swing it at him, but Mr. Aizawa tightened the bindings.

"If I were you, I'd drop that sword," Mr. Aizawa demanded as he held his scarf, "You're only doing this because of an akuma that Chrysalis sent out."

Spinner seemed to be frustrated and tried to get out of his bindings. Mr. Aizawa couldn't get it back any longer, and Spinner almost ripped his scarf into pieces. In the corner of his eye, Mr. Aizawa spotted Mr. Compress launching at him. He was mere inches from touching him, and Spinner had already gotten his sword swinging towards him. Before any of them could make contact, a swirling, golden energy hit Mr. Compress.

"What the--"

Spinner then got interrupted with a clam fist to the face. He landed pretty hard on the ground, and Mr. Compress almost got his mask knocked off from that surprise attack. Mr. Aizawa looked behind him and saw Hado and Amajiki both in their hero costumes. They didn't look very happy to see them attacking Mr. Aizawa.

"Togata said that you needed some backup!" Hado cried out.

"Sorry it took us long... We're here to help..." Amajiki said to him.

Mr. Aizawa looked at them, feeling grateful for Togata's help. They looked at Spinner and Mr. Compress and knew that they could take them on.

Meanwhile with Class 1-A and Midoriya...

One for All activated and flowed all around him. Midoriya launched right at Gentle Criminal and knew that he would try to stop him. He quickly threw a punch, and Gentle Criminal dodged him. Midoriya instinctively turned around and went for another punch. Before he could land it on him, Gentle Criminal grabbed his fist and pushed him down towards the ground. He tried to stop him, but he grabbed his other fist. Midoriya couldn't get away from him, but he knew that he could still stop him. He gritted his teeth, remembering how things went between them when they fought.

"Gentle Criminal! You can't really be serious about any of this?!" Midoriya cried out, "You told me that you weren't going to do any of this! You even turned yourself in! Why would you go back to being a criminal in the first place?!"

Gentle Criminal's eyes widened, and Midoriya knew that he got him when his fists loosened up. He didn't say anything as he fought back against Midoriya. Something about it definitely felt less intense. Midoriya could tell that his strength was starting to dwindle with La Brava's quirk starting to wear off.

"Izuku Midoriya..." Gentle Criminal said under his breath.

Before he could speak up, he spotted La Brava trying to get away from Midoriya's friends. She was trying to fight them off while Bakugo had her up in the air.

"Let me go of me you loud mouth! I'm older than you! You shouldn't be treating me like this!" La Brava cried out.

Bakugo didn't say anything as he grabbed her bow around her neck and ripped it off. The akuma flew out of it, and Yaoyorozu caught it and put it in a jar.

Gentle Criminal was really bothered by him doing that to La Brava and let go of Midoriya. His fists clenched in anger and ran after him.

"How dare you hurt my La Brava!" Gentle Criminal cried out, "You will pay for this!"

"Kacchan, watch out!" Midoriya cried out.

Gentle Criminal launched up and bounced onto a bubble of air right at Bakugo. Midoriya without thinking launched right after him. He was a lot faster than Gentle Criminal and pushed Bakugo out of the way. He aimed his fingers right at Gentle Criminal, but ended up shooting it right at the bubble of air. The wind pressure bounced back at him and right in the back, causing Gentle Criminal to collapse onto the ground.

Midoriya and some of the others walked up to him.

"I'm sorry Gentle Criminal, but it's over," Midoriya said to him, "I don't understand why you would do this. I thought I understood you. When we met, I could see myself becoming someone like you. Something about you reminded me of what I could've done back then."

Everyone was shocked to hear this, especially Bakugo and Uraraka. Midoriya never looked away from him as he talked to him. Something about it caught Gentle Criminal's attention. Kirishima grabbed his cane from his belt and broke it in half. The akuma flew out of it, and Yaoyorozu caught it just in time. A purplish cloud formed around Gentle Criminal, causing him to detranform into his prison uniform. Even La Brava detransformed into a prison uniform.

For a while, Gentle Criminal just sat there, not looking at any of them. Midoriya stood there, knowing full well that he was disappointed. He clenched his fists, feeling betrayed. His eyes locked onto him, knowing that he was still akumatized. He let this go for now and unclenched his fists.

"Gentle... Why?" Midoriya asked him, "Please tell me why you did this."

Gentle Criminal flinched and hesitated to look up at him. Midoriya could tell that he was ashamed, but still didn't understand any of this. Everyone gathered around him, staring the criminal down. Bakugo kept La Brava close so she wouldn't get away from them.

"I just... I wanted to get stronger," Gentle Criminal said with a shaky voice, "I was given the chance to reform. To redeem myself. All I could think about was how strong you were. Someone like you defeated me. Then I got the opportunity to go after you. This Miraculous, I didn't understand what it was at the time. But now... I realize that it was my chance to get stronger and prove that I am strong enough."

"Gentle... You didn't have to do all of this, You must know that by now. This akuma made you do this," Midoriya explained to him.

"No my boy. I knew what it was, and I took it," Gentle Criminal said back, "I might as well turn myself in again. Reforming might not be possible for me. Not after what I've done."

Midoriya could tell that La Brava was really upset and tried to run over to him. He wanted to do something, but there wasn't much he could do at this point. Hawks walked up to Midoriya and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"I'm sorry Midoriya, but he's going to have to go back to jail," Hawks said to him, "I'll make sure of it."

Midoriya felt bad for him, but he knew that Hawks could handle things. Class 1-A were about to walk away, but Midoriya noticed La Brava grab his hand to stop him. She hesitated but gave him a camera that she was holding.

"This might help. I ended up recording some things during the akumatization," La Brava explained to him, "I don't know if it'll have anything helpful, but maybe you can forgive Gentle. He really isn't that bad of a guy."

Before Midoriya could say anything to her, she ran back over to Hawks and Gentle Criminal. He looked down at the camera and wondered what could possibly be on it. He walked back over to his classmates and friends, finally feeling like they could relax for a moment. He took his time heading over there as he looked at the camera. Class 1-A were making sure that things were okay with their friends. Midoriya was playing around with the camera to make sure he knew how to work this thing.

Then he thought he spotted something in the corner of his eye. It looked like some sort of slime. Maybe even sludge.

Midoriya didn't know what it was that he saw exactly. Whatever it was that he saw, something about it made him uncomfortable and freeze up. He didn't even notice that his knees were shaking.

"Deku! What're you doing?! We can't lose track of you!" Bakugo cried out.

Midoriya snapped out of it and ran towards his friends and classmates with the camera in his hands.

"Sorry, I just needed to check something!" Midoriya cried out.

Before he could tell them what he had, something caught Bakugo and Class 1-A's attention. Midoriya spotted Bakugo's eyes and noticed how terrified he was. He felt like something was behind him and felt his hands and knees shaking as he turned around. The moment his eyes spotted the Sludge Villain, he dropped the camera and felt sick to his stomach.

"It's been a while, hasn't it? I never thought I'd be seeing you again, Izuku Midoriya," the Sludge Villain said in a gurgling voice.

Everyone couldn't look away as the Sludge Villain grew and spread out more and more as it towered over Midoriya. They noticed that Bakugo looked pale and even covered his mouth from how terrified he was of that thing. Midoriya even seemed the same way. For some reason, he couldn't even focus on One for All. All he could do was stand there, staring at the Sludge Villain.

He felt like he was back to being that quirkless fanboy.

Another amazing chapter!

I really enjoyed this reading and writing this chapter! I like where this is going, my favorite akumatized fights in this chapter is probably Gentle Criminal's. To be honest, I never cared about adding in the League of Villains because I feel like once you add them in, it just adds things in that would make it even more complicated. I just didn't want that for this part of the story. I always thought the League of Villains would be its own thing. Mr. Aizawa is finally back with Amajiki and Hado! Gentle Criminal and La Brava are out of the fight. And the Sludge Villain returns!!

What's going to happen next??

More to come soon!
