Miraculous Quirks

by stringdog

A fusion never before done creates a major problem. Ladybug and Cat Noir have been blasted out of the timeline of the world to an unknown point in the distant future. All those who watch over the pair can do is wait for time to catch up to them. What will the world be like when they return? Where will they be? And what the hell is a Quirk?

157. Chapter 156: Unexpected Opening

Here it is, the 156th full chapter of Miraculous Quirks released on schedule. The long suspected traitor at U.A. has been confirmed and revealed to be Yuga Aoyama. His treachery wasn't out of love for, or agreement with, All for One but fear because All for One had given him a Quirk at his parents' request after Aoyama was revealed to be Quirkless and didn't want to be different. Since then he's owned the Aoyama family and used them as his spy in U.A. making Aoyama responsible for the USJ and Forest Training Camp incidents. Now, though, that secret is out and it's time to interrogate the Aoyamas and Class 1-A wants answers. What will this interrogation yield and will it change anything in the upcoming battle? Well, let's find out as that is all the administrative stuff that I have for you, however, and there are no guest reviews that can be responded to or questions to answer so I will end this note here. Do keep the reviews coming as I enjoy hearing from y'all. That is all I have for this pre chapter note so that means that it is time to sit back, relax, and enjoy the 156th full chapter of Miraculous Quirks.

Disclaimer: I do not own either of these great works of fiction.

Chapter 156: Unexpected Opening

"Lets get this straight." Detective Tsukauchi said as he looked at the Aoyamas as they sat in chairs bound around the waists and legs to them with their hands in manacles behind their backs in one of the classrooms in U.A., Aoyama in the center and in front of his parents a special outfit over his hero costume. "Based on his age, Yuga Aoyama must have received his Quirk from All for One about 10 years ago as it's around 5 that a person is confirmed to be Quirkless and since that moment the Aoyama family has been forced to act as pawns for him against their will. The good thing is that Aoyama seems physically fine and hasn't been rigged to self-destruct like Nagant was but we should still proceed with caution."

It had been less than an hour since Toru had stumbled upon Aoyama and learned that he was the traitor at U.A. and informed Midoriya about it, and by extension Marinette because of where she was in the trees above them. Since then they'd confronted Aoyama and his parents, Marinette had captured them when they tried to flee, and after a moment a tearful Aoyama had given up and surrendered knowing that he had no way out.

As soon as that happened the teachers were called and they, along with a few cops, came to the forest, arrested the Aoyamas and then were escorted to this classroom in a way that didn't tip off any of the evacuees what was going on and with the precautions for Aoyama's costume factored in. Once they got there, the desks were pushed back and they were put in the chairs that they were now in. At the same time, the class was being informed about what had happened and they'd all come and gathered in the classroom to confront Aoyama and his parents about this.

The entirety of Class 1-A was present, all standing there and looking at the Aoyamas as they sat there. Toru had her hands on Ojiro's shoulder for support, given how close she was there was a good chance that a certain part of her was pushing up against his arm but he didn't notice or comment on it, while Mina and Jiro held each other and Marinette had her arms wrapped around Adrien's left arm her head on his shoulder. The rest just stood there, Izuku and Bakugo at the front, as they listened to what Tsukauchi was saying.

In addition to them and the detective, there were several other officers present, all of them dressed in the same riot gear as Tsukauchi was, along with All Might, Nezu, Present Mic, Ectoplasm, and Mage. The rest of the staff was out keeping an eye on the grounds and maintaining order in the fortress, or in Fei's case actively flitting through the evacuees in her mantis form to make sure that no one had noticed that the Aoyamas had been detained and were now being questioned by the police and heroes about their ties to All for One.

"We discussed there being a traitor at U.A. after what happened at the USJ and the summer training camp but I never thought that it was a student." Present Mic said as everyone continued to stare at the Aoyamas. "Especially after it seemed like the traitor had vanished after Kamino."

"I'm sorry, but I must ask that you kids you kids give us the room." Nezu said not looking back at Class 1-A as he spoke. "This is a serious matter that you don't need to be here for. Even if they try to communicate in French, I speak it fluently as well so they can't hide behind it."

"They could use slang, terms, or idioms that only a native speaker would know." Adrien said pointed out. "Things even you wouldn't get sir. It's the same in every language and French can be very dialectic depending on where you're from. You can't be certain and I for one am not leaving, not after this. They are my countrymen on top of Aoyama being a friend, I want answers."

"Agreste's right, there' no way that we'd walk away from this." Todoroki said seriously. "Aoyama's our classmate, we're part of this."

"All this just doesn't make any sense." Kaminari said. "We need to understand this sir so we have to stay and hear them out."

"If Hagakure hadn't stumbled on you three today, what would you have done next?" Ojiro asked as Toru continued to hold his right shoulder, her body back to its normal invisible now after whatever it was that Aoyama's Quirk had done to her though Marinette hadn't mentioned it since, or told anyone that she'd seen what Toru looked like. "Would you really have followed through with All for One's latest order?"

"I don't believe it." Momo said, she was back in her normal hero attire her hair in it's usual ponytail as this was something she had to deal with normally, Kaalki had understood it and had opting to stay behind in the dorm though as there were those not in the know about magic present she kinda had to do that anyway. "And I've believed a lot crazier things this year, but I saw the proof there. This, this is just so unfathomable that I can't wrap my head around it."

"Yeah man!" Kirishima said. "Please say that this isn't true."

"It is true, I heard it myself." Marinette said, she was still upset at what Aoyama had done and part of why she had her arms around Adrien's arm, other than for comfort, was to keep herself in check. "They admitted to it in Japanese and French. Whether we want to accept it or not, Aoyama betrayed us."

"Even if that's the case, was it because he brainwashed you or something like that?" Mineta asked as he tried to rationalize Aoyama's betrayal. "You can't have known what you were doing after all."

"So, there were two Hero Course students born Quirkless in our class." Bakugo said quietly, he knew the number was actually four but Dupain-Cheng and Agreste didn't count as they weren't from this era and he got the feeling that if he tried to mention something about it that the magical bastard that was in the room with them would do something to stop him and Bakugo wanted nothing to do with that asshole. "Who'd have thought that that would happen? The odds have to be pretty low."

"Principal, it's clear that they won't give us the room and frankly we don't have time to argue with them." Tsukauchi said interrupting any chatter from the class but not looking at them as he continued to stare at the Aoyamas. "We're still trying to restore a state of order and we've got three of All for One's pawns here who can give us some insight into him which means that it's imperative that you three start talking right away. Tell us what you've learned about All for One and don't leave anything out."

"Je suis désolé but we do not know anything useful about zat monster." Mr. Aoyama said his voice soft and low and while he'd spoken the first few words in French, even those who didn't know that he'd said that he was sorry got the gist of it from his tone of voice and how he was still crying. "Zat's the honest truth, I swear it. We had to do whatever he told us without question because if we didn't do so zen he'd kill us without hesitation. He'd also know if we lied to him and if we did zen he'd kill us for lying to him. Ze choice was simple, life as his pawns or death."

"He threatened you?" Tsukauchi asked. "That's a bit crude for his usual M.O."

"Non, it was not just a threat." Mr. Aoyama said the tears continuing to flow and his shoulders shaking as he spoke indicating that this was more than just a threat that had been spoken to him. "He made sure to show us what would happen to us if we didn't do as he wished. He killed a man in front of us, someone who'd ran to the police to betray him."

"When was this?" Tsukauchi asked.

"I don't remember, I only remember zat ze man didn't last long before All for One murdered him and how it showed us zat zere was no way out for us after zat." Mr. Aoyama said still shaking. "He's got spies everywhere, no matter where you go or what you do he'll learn what you did and then he'll find you and when he does you will die. Zis was ze inevitable fact of our lives from ze moment zat we asked for his help with Yuga being Quirkless but our son never knew the particulars of what zat devil's plan was, he just told Yuga to lay low and avoid suspicion while he was at U.A."

"Oui!" Mrs. Aoyama added joining her husband in pleading for their son. "S'il te plaît! Our son is not to blame for our sins, ze blame is all on us alone."

"My classmates, all of you could have died because of my actions, because of the information that I provided to All for One on where we would be." Aoyama said causing Ida at least to gasp though no one else reacted to it. "And yet despite knowing what I was doing and what I was putting you through I still smiled and laughed like we were friends because that was what I wanted us to be even though I was such a vile person to you. Then, when I found out that Midoriya used to be Quirkless like me, and right after that when I…"

"Je n'essaierais pas de die ce que tu es sur le point de dire." A cool voice said in fluent, British accented, French as Aoyama suddenly began to gag and cough from his throat suddenly closing up "Quand Marinette et Adrien t'ont révélé leur secret, je l'ai lié à tom âme avec ma magie, parceil avec tous les camarades de classe. Essaie de mentioner quelque chose qui pourrait les impliquer, comme le fait qu'ils sont nés Quirk et tu auras des haut-le-cœur comme maintenant."

Aoyama continued to cough but he forced himself to look up to see the Englishman called Mage who'd taught at Francois Dupont High School before coming to U.A. to teach Quirkless combat standing right in front of him. He held a fixed blade knife in his right hand at his side pointing at the ground and Aoyama noted that it was glowing. Aoyama got the sense that the man hadn't drawn it as a weapon but for something else which confused him so, as his coughing subsided, he looked around the room.

What Aoyama saw confused him as it appeared that everyone was barely moving except for him and Mage. He then looked back at Mage as things began to click because he knew that the man before him was really an immortal being known as a Guardian and that his element was magic, that had been part of Marinette and Adrien's reveal after Midoriya when they explained the full nature of their Quirks, but this made no sense to him.

"Time doesn't have an element but all Guardians can affect it to some extent if they channel their power through their knife as our knives are the symbol of our status and imbued with power from the Master Guardian himself." Mage said sticking to French for the moment as Aoyama looked at him. "Time can't be stopped, and I know better than anyone that it's something that shouldn't be messed with lightly, but slowing it down in this area for a moment is doable if a bit taxing. Things will speed up when I stop affecting it and I'm going to feel a backlash from it but it will be worth it and all they'll see is you coughing from all your tears and snot. Nod if you understand what I told you."

Aoyama did that and Mage accepted it, not saying anything as he stepped back to stand behind the class before he sheathed his knife. The moment that he did things sped up and Mage staggered back into the wall behind him but as he was at the back of the room no one noticed as Aoyama resumed coughing in a fit for a few more seconds as everyone looked at him.

"Sorry, I choked up too much there." Aoyama spluttered out before he got his voice and throat under control as everyone looked at him. "I was just saying that my heart ached at how miserable my life was when I found out that Midoriya would have to make a stand against All for One despite being born Quirkless just like I was. I was disgusted with myself for feeling that way but rather than worrying about Midoriya I wallowed in my misery instead. I'm rotten to the core, there's no denying it after what I did to all of you so if you want to know the truth it's simple, I'm no hero but a villain through and through. I'm no better than…"

"I don't believe you!" Izuku shouted cutting off Aoyama, his right fist clenched and bent over as he let out what he'd been holding in ever since Aoyama had been brought in. "If you are such a villain then why did you try to save Kacchan and Tokoyami at the training camp? I saw it, you shot your Quirk at Mr. Compress right before he vanished and managed to hit his cheek and get him to spit them out and uncompress them! That's not the act of a villain!"

Aoyama gasped at that while Tokoyami looked up. He'd never realized that it had been Aoyama who'd freed him and Bakugo though Dabi had managed to grab Bakugo and ensure he was taken anyway so they had still failed to rescue him in the end.

"And what about that message you left for me on my balcony in cheese!" Izuku continued not letting anyone speak though Adrien was glad that Plagg neve saw that, free cheese left somewhere outside of Aoyama's room would have been fair game to him in Plagg's mind though he was probably off chumming it with Odd-Eye at the time knowing Plagg. "Is that something that All for One told you to do as well? Did he tell you to try and be my friend, to tell me about overcoming pain so we can, as you put it, twinkle? Well, did he?"

Aoyama couldn't answer that, all he did was cry even harder as he stared at Izuku. No one else dared say anything either, they all just watched Midoriya as he confronted and got through to Aoyama the way that only he could.

"Of course not!" Izuku continued tears in his own eyes confirming that his questions were at least semi-rhetorical. "That night when you left me that message was a desperate cry for help and I totally missed it. I mean come on, look at you right now, you're balling all over yourself but those tears aren't because you failed to do what All for One wanted you to do and you're not the only one who's been where you are now. I knew another hero who didn't give him all that he wanted, either. He was using her to take me down but from the moment she engaged me she stayed true to herself, to her heart, even if she didn't realize it until the end because he'd crushed her spirit and that was her problem to overcome."

"Young Midoriya." All Might whispered knowing that he was talking about Lady Nagant and his fight with her, as well as how he'd been able to get through to her in the end and bring her back from the darkness that had all but swallowed her and remind her that she had once been a hero only for her to blow up and almost die thanks to a second Quirk that All for One had given her without her knowledge. "Even now you're doing it."

"Just because you've made mistakes and committed crimes doesn't mean that you have to be a villain forever, you can make amends for that and be true to yourself!" Izuku carried on not hearing All Might as he held out his right hand to Aoyama. "So please take my hand right now because I promise you that you can still be a hero Aoyama!"

Bakugo was the only one who truly saw what Izuku was doing but that was only because he knew him so well. The others didn't but they understood Midoriya well enough to get what he was going for at least. It was this, and Aoyama's reaction, that finally got Marinette to ease her tension, though she still held Adrien's arm, and look at Aoyama to confirm that what Midoriya was saying was true. However, before she could say what she had to say Tsukauchi cut in.

"Not so fast, Midoriya, Sansa, gag the kid, we're not going to get anymore from him or his parents." Tsukauchi said as soon as Midoriya was done and Sansa moved forward to do just that. "We're taking all of them in, you're going to have to save the hand holding for later."

"Huh?" Midoriya asked looking at the detective as Sansa gagged Aoyama with a strange metal gag. "But…"

"Look, I get it but this is a tough situation and nothing can erase the fact that they all helped All for One, they are complicit in all the crimes that stemmed from what they told him." Tsukauchi said before Midoriya could try to plead his case. "Besides, we're only assuming that he's safe right now because he's not exploded like Nagant did when she accepted you but we can't say for certain that what happened to her won't also happen to him once All for One realizes that they've been found out and are talking to us. It would be safest to not let him say another word until we can get him checked out and cleared at Central Hospital."

Tsukauchi paused to make sure that Midoriya understood. He seemed to and Izuku did at least see the reasoning for the caution but he still grit his teeth at that because he knew that Aoyama was redeemable and could still be a hero. That was fine with Tsukauchi though as he turned back to the Aoyamas.

"There's one last thing I have to ask you, Mr. and Mrs. Aoyama." Tsukauchi said. "Why didn't you tell All for One that we planned to attack Kamino. Your son would have known about it seeing as his classmates discussed it in the hospital and had a way to track a Nomu there. If he was prepared for it he could have set traps for us."

"Because we have no way of reaching out to him ourselves, it's a simple as zat." Mr. Aoyama said. "He controls that part of ze deal as well; we are to go about our daily lives as if nothing is amiss and just wait for him to get in touch with us whenever he wants something from us. Each time he does ze contact information is different, zis is how he operates and keeps himself protected."

"Yes, I see, that is certainly his style." Tsukauchi said with a sigh. "It ensures that if you were ever caught, like you are now, that you'd be completely useless to us. Alright then, take them away."

"Detective, before you do, allow me to say something to my fellow countryman." Marinette said getting Tsukauchi's attention and he turned to her and saw the seriousness in her bluebell eyes and nodded. "Thank you."

Marinette let go of Adrien and walked a few steps forward to look at Aoyama as he looked up at her, his tears still flowing and confusion in his eyes. He couldn't say anything as there was a V shaped metal g gag over his mouth but that was fine with Marinette because she wanted Aoyama to hear her out.

"Yuga, j'ai été dur plus tôt quand je t'ai capture, je suis que tu comprends pourquoi j'étais si émotif mai quand même, je suis désolé pour ça." Marinette said switching to her native French as she apologized to Aoyama for calling him a traitor and bowed her head as he stared at her still crying while her own eyes began to swim at what she was about to say. "Je ne pensais pas clairement à cause de ce que j'avais appris, mais Midoriya nous a montré à tous ce qui se passe vraiment. Tu as peur, tu as peur de perdre ta famille, crois-moi, je le sais mieux que quiconque, alors tu as fait ce que tu devais faire. Je sais que je ne reverrai plus jamais la mienne, mais il n'est pas trop tard pour toi. Nous nous en assurerons, je le promets."

Marinette let that sink in for a moment before she turned and rubbed the tears in her eyes, Momo was also holding back at what Marinette had said understanding it both because she understood French and knew that Marinette had lost her entire family when she'd been blasted into the future, as had Adrien. Marinette didn't notice this though as walked back to Adrien who took her into his arms. She just rested her head on his shoulder as Aoyama cried more and everyone who didn't understand French looked a little confused but left it at that, especially as there was a lot going on and they had to focus.

"Detective, before you take them away, please think on this." Izuku said as Marinette turned back to look at Aoyama while still in Adrien's arms, he'd thought of this as she'd spoken to Aoyama and it was something that he had to say while Aoyama was still present. "We may not know where All for One is but there's no doubt that the board has changed now that we know about the Aoyamas and his involvement with them."

At that Kaminari gasped loud enough for them all to hear. As Midoriya had spoken he'd recalled his recent lecture from Bakugo and the others on the problems and with Midoriya now bringing up the first problem of All for One's location being unknown and so they had to tap every resource available, he realized something that he had to voice.

"Hold up everyone." Kaminari said before the police could move to start transporting the Aoyamas. "Does finding this out and having Aoyama in custody now present us with a way to force them to fight on our terms?"

The moment that Kaminari said that everyone gasped at the realization he'd had. It was something that none of them had thought of, even Izuku hadn't realized the full scope of the change in the board that learning about Aoyama presented.

"He's right!" Mineta exclaimed. "This allows for us to take the fight to All for One!"

"Yes, when you look at it like this, All for One has unwittingly given us the upper hand by trying to use Aoyama after he broke out of Tartarus." Momo said. "It's possible that right now, Aoyama is the only person in the world who's got a chance of tricking All for One! With him, we can force that villain into the open in a location of our choosing."

"Yeah, a location where a hero with a Warp Quirk who's still in Japan thanks to the chaos can control." Adrien said not looking at Momo. "Cavalerie is still here, the Guardians didn't officially recall her after the Paranormal Liberation War, did they?"

"We did not." Mage said from where he was. "She's been reassigned to our Tokyo office until the cleanup is done so she's eligible to assist."

"This is what we've been needed." Izuku said setting himself and looking at Aoyama. "So, Aoyama, I'll say it once more, I promise you, you too can be a hero!"

Everyone fell silent for a moment at that. What Kaminari had voiced and everyone had now realized was major and Izuku's statement had silenced them because they all knew that it was true. Everything was in Aoyama's hands now and he could redeem himself and be a hero providing that they figured out how to maximize this sudden advantage that they'd gained.

"We need to look at this from a strategic perspective and see it as a new advantage." Momo said breaking the silence. "Given the current state of affairs, Aoyama is the only person who is in a position to potentially trick All for One, at least that we know of, and we don't have time to find someone else."

Aoyama gasped and gagged at that as his eyes brimmed with more tears before he looked up at his classmates. Even after all they'd said, especially Midoriya and Marinette, he still didn't get why they hadn't, or wouldn't for that matter, turn their backs on him though he couldn't ask them why with the gag on.

It was a valid question because after what he'd done there was no way in Aoyama's mind that his classmates didn't know how terrible a person he was, that he was nothing more than a villain who'd betrayed them and put them in danger on at least two occasions, and yet they were still supporting him despite all this. He couldn't understand it at all.

"I get that this is something that we can potentially use, a new angle that we've not had until now, but maybe you kids should hit pause on this idea for a moment to think it through rather than rushing into it." Present Mic said turning to the class. "No matter how you look at it, a crime is still a crime and as Hero Course students you know that as well as anyone. I hate to be the one to point this out, but you lot are the ones who've been hurt the most by Aoyama's actions. Several of you ended up in the hospital after the training camp, one of you was kidnapped, and it was all because he led the villains to you. Knowing that, do you really want to trust an admitted traitor?"

"Yes sir, we do." Ida said stepping forward without hesitation as he answered his teacher's question on behalf of the whole class. "We can put his actions in the past where they belong and move on from them. Besides, all of us want to call ourselves heroes and yet none of us noticed how tortured Aoyama was about what All for One was making him do, so on that front we have to take some responsibility too. He is our classmate who's shared many memories with us and right now he's sitting before us weeping like the epitome of despair."

Ida paused for a moment as he looked at Present Mic. No one spoke, the teachers and cops were taken aback by Ida's words while his classmates were letting him finish as it was clear that he had more to say. The entire time Aoyama just looked at Ida the tears still flowing down his face.

"That's why Midoriya extended his hand just now, why we are joining him in holding out that hand to Aoyama, because we're his friends." Ida continued. "We care about Aoyama and we want to redeem him. If he wants this, and our help in achieving it, then he'll have to accept our help and stand with us on this battlefield, a battlefield only he can help provide us."

"Also you don't need to bring it up, I'm not forgetting what I went through after the training camp and now that I know that it was twinkles's fault I'm going to make him pay for what I went through." Bakugo said his anger palpable as he held up his left hand and set off a series of small explosions in it. "So I think giving him give good Howitzer blasts will make up for that. That's a good punishment for his treason."

"Er, isn't that a bit of an extreme response though?" Sero asked. "Just have him help us out to redeem himself, you don't need to blast him for it."

"Shut up!" Bakugo shouted angrily. "I was the one who was kidnapped so I can dictate the punishment!"

"Ida's right." Kirishima said turning to them before Bakugo went off even more. "We can all see it ourselves with his reaction, Aoyama only went along with this because of All for One's orders and the threat to his family. There was no way that he could beat him at the time so he did what he was told to do for his family, it was all under duress. However, now we have a shot at doing that for him and giving him what he wants, to stop. He told his parents that, didn't he?"

"He did." Marinette said simply.

"See, he wants to stop and now's his chance to not only stop but end the threat once and for all." Kirishima said before he turned back to Aoyama. "And Aoyama, remember that none of us cared that Midoriya was born Quirkless, we didn't turn on him even though he ran away and was hiding his tears from us just like you did. We went after him back then, you came with us, you were by our side for that as well because you cared for him just like the rest of us did. We told him that we'd help him and share his responsibilities so that he didn't have to carry his burden alone. We told him that from now on he wouldn't have to face anything alone. We also didn't care that…"

"I think he gets the point Kirishima." Adrien said seeing where Kirishima was going and not wanted to break his flow but if he tried to speak of Adrien and Marinette's past in front of some who didn't know, in this case the cops present, Present Mic, and Ectoplasm, he'd trigger the bound secret and that could disrupt things so he interrupted his friend and letting go of Marinette to put a hand on his shoulder to calm him down. "He knows that you didn't care about us being foreigners either and were here for us just as we all were there for Midoriya. Aoyama can see how we are as a class, that we're there for each other. We were together for us, for Midoriya, and now for him. That's what he needs to know."

"Huh, oh, er, yeah, your right Agreste." Kirishima said as he met Adrien's intense stare and realized that the was getting a bit carried away and about to say something he shouldn't have about Agreste and Dupain-Cheng's past and reigning it in which caused Adrien to nod and release Kirishima so that Kirishima could turn back to Aoyama and continue driving his point home. "Aoyama, meddling in something that's wrong and needs to be sorted out when you don't have to do so is the very essence of being a hero! You're still one of us and we're going to meddle to make sure that you're ok as well!"

"You are more than my countryman Aoyama, you are my friend, Adrien's too." Marinette said in Japanese to Aoyama as she looked at him as the other students all began to chatter about how much Aoyama was one of them while he cried but he was listening to Marinette as she switched back to French. "J'ai déjà perdu trop d'amis, des amis que je said que je ne reverrai jamais dans cette vie. S'il te plaît, ne me fais pas perdre un autre ami."

"Look at this Aoyama." Adrien said gesturing to the class as they kept talking though he didn't switch to French and stuck with Japanese as he spoke. "This is what being a hero is all about and you're one of us, you did it with us when we meddled to bring Midoriya back and now we're doing it with you to help save and redeem you. Be the hero that you wanted to be when you came to U.A., not the disposable pawn that All for One thinks that you are."

There was more chatter after this, so much so that words were drowned out as the whole class talked over each other in their support for Aoyama. It was starting to get out of hand in fact and things needed to be reigned in so All Might and Tsukauchi turned to the students.

"This is all well and good but you need to calm down." Tsukauchi said raising his hands to the students and speaking up to be heard, his voice reaching them and causing them to fall silent pretty quickly as he addressed them. "I get that you are passionate but there are still protocols that we have to follow regarding this. So, right now, we need these three to fully cooperate with our investigation into their crimes."

There was a swell of protest but before anyone could voice anything Tsukauchi continued. There was something that they needed to reminded of that could be a major issue in their plans and had to be taken into account before they acted on this potential opening.

"Remember, they've said that All for One won't fall for any lies that they tell, that he'll know and kill them if he realizes." Tsukauchi said, the reminder doing as intended and cutting off any protest right away as the class hadn't thought about that in their sudden realization of what Aoyama's situation provided them and their desire to redeem their friend and classmate. "They told us earlier that any dishonesty will be met with violence and All for One is a man who follows through on statements like that, it's not a threat from him but a promise. I understand how you're feeling but we can't be rash about this, we've got to figure out how to address this. So…"

"Midoriya."

The sudden address of Midoriya was distorted but clear enough as it cut off Tsukauchi before he could say anymore, as the call out to Midoriya and the sound of someone connecting to the screen in the classroom, got their attention and they turned to it because they recognized the voice well. They all saw that the call was coming from their homeroom teacher, Mr. Aizawa and he had their undivided attention.

"You suggested that we could lure out All for One with Aoyama's help." Aizawa said the distortion still there but as he spoke he hit something and the call became a video one and the sound cleared up as they saw their teacher sitting on a hospital bed in a blue hospital gown and with a black patch over his damaged right eye. "But I don't suppose that you have come up with an actual plan for accomplishing that, do you? Because there are a lot of factors that must be taken into account to pull this off, this is All for One that you're dealing with."

"I'll admit that it don't have one yet, sir." Izuku said lowering his head. "At least, nothing solid that is. We just realized it and kinda got ahead of ourselves."

"Yeah that's pretty much what I expected." Aizawa said. "Detective, as Class 1-A's homeroom teacher I also bear the blame for what's happened, I failed to see what Aoyama was going through and reach out to help him, that is on me as his teacher. I feel the same way that my students do about this."

"You're kidding!" Present Mic said looking at his old friend though how Aizawa knew all this while not being in the room was a mystery to all of them. "Really Eraser?"

"Aoyama." Aizawa said ignoring Mic's statement and question. "You can rest assured that I have absolutely no intention of expelling you from U.A."

Aoyama gasped at that and looked up as more tears flowed. While he couldn't speak with the gag, his breathing was heavy as he looked up at his teacher while Aizawa continued.

"Rest assured that I know my students well and it is because of this that I can see a way forward." Aizawa said. "There is a path to pulling this off."

"You have a plan?" Izuku asked surprised and hopeful at the same time.

"I do but before I start, can you make absolutely sure that the Aoyamas won't be able to hear what I have to say?" Aizawa asked his tone serious. "They must be kept in the dark for this to work."

"Of course, it will be done." Tsukauchi said and at that three of the cops produced special bands were placed over the Aoyamas' ears and around their heads cutting off all sound from them and as they weren't looking at the screen they couldn't read Aizawa's lips either, though Mr. and Mrs. Aoyama had their eyes closed while Aoyama just looked at the ground as the three continued to silently cry where they were. "Alright, go on Eraser Head."

"Thank you." Aizawa said. "Now here is what I propose that we do."

A bit abrupt but I feel like this is a good spot to end this chapter on, a nice little cliffhanger before we address the plan for the final battle. That plan will be elaborated and discussed in the next chapter, all of it. There are a few reasons for this but mainly it's to see the plan, or my take on it that is, and address what's going on as due to Marinette and Adrien only affecting at most two parts of the final battle, many parts will likely be unaffected by them so will remain canon and thus this will be the best place to address them so that y'all know they're going on. Of course if anything happens that deviates from canon going forward and which might change certain scenes, that will be factored in but that is for when that happens. Other than that there really isn't much more to say about this chapter other than to give the full translations (according to google translate as I used that for them) for the blocks of French and they are, in order of where they appear, "I wouldn't try to say what you're about to say. When Marinette and Adrien told you their secret, I bound it to your soul with my magic, same with all your classmates. Try mentioning something that could implicate them, like how they were born without a Quirk, and you'll gag like you are now." (Mage) "Yuga, I was harsh earlier when I captured you, I know you understand why but still, I'm sorry for that. I wasn't thinking clearly because of what I learned but you showed us all what's really going on. You're scared, you're afraid to lose your family, trust me I know that better than anyone, so you did what you had to. I know I won't ever see mine again but it's not too late for you. We'll make sure of it, I promise." "I've lost too many friends already, friend I know that I'll never see again in this life. Please, don't make me lose another one." Anyway, that is all that I have for this chapter so I will leave it off here. As always, if you like it or have any questions please let me know in reviews or PMs, I will try to answer them as best I could and post any questions asked between uploads at the start of the next chapter and do follow and favorite this, so you are alerted to future uploads. Do keep the reviews coming as I like hearing from y'all as you enjoy my work, it motivates me to keep producing the best work I can for y'all to enjoy. Until next time.
