The day had begun like all the others; Himi and Izuku had dropped Eri off at school and made their way to class, all be it with a slight detour by a new coffee cart that had opened up. They arrived in class and greeted friends and classmates before the day began. Today was going to be special rescue training, so after they all changed into costumes, they were on the bus riding toward the Unforeseen Simulation Joint or USJ. The conversation was lively; Himiko constantly teased Mina, which had the girl blushing. Itsuka tried to remain calm as Izuku's hand traced small circles on her inner thigh.

Dancing delicately higher, but not too high, just enough to tease. He maintained a conversation with Shoto the entire time about a trip to the aquarium over the weekend as calmly as possible. When Shoto turned around, he leaned over and whispered in her ear about studying some more later and nipped her ear, making her cover her mouth to hide her moan. She didn't even realize she had opened her legs wider till his hand found its way over her pussy. Her eyes went wide; she closed her legs quickly; she wanted to kiss him so badly that when the bus disembarked, she made sure they were the last to do so and claimed her kiss.

"You are a very naughty man," she whispered.

"You are a very sexy woman," he replied.

They made their way with the rest of the class; they got a good laugh at how excited Ochaco was to meet Thirteen. It was shaping up to be a good day; the first week was coming to an end; their past was in the open, so their classmates were free to make their own decisions, Bakugo had been expelled, Himi and Eri were happy, and he was pleased, this new life was going well. Aside from when the press had broken one of the gates a few days ago, everything was going well. Momo and Eijiro had been voted class presidents, and Izuku's name had been mentioned. However, he had been able to talk his way out of the nomination, citing that he was still behind academically and his family that trying to do more was too much for him.

Izuku nominated Eijiro, citing his actions during the locker room brawl, in which he stepped in and did all he could to stop it from escalating. Most of the boys voted for him; he barely lost to Momo by a few votes, and one of those votes was his own.

Aizawa was annoyed when he saw that All-Might was missing; he pulled Thirteen aside to find out he was running late and would not join them that day. After a brief talk from Thirteen about the focus of their training today, they were all led into the USJ. They arrived at the plaza and were getting their team assignments when Eijiro noticed the portals calling it out to the teachers.

Everyone froze when the man who identified himself as Shigaraki stepped out, the hair on the back of Izuku and Himiko's neck stood up. He was a killer, and they knew it before he opened his mouth: a slim man with pale skin, tinged grey. He was wearing plain red sneakers, black pants that exposed his ankles, and a matching long-sleeved V-neck shirt; covering his arms and shoulders were what appeared to be hands. A hand was attached to his face, acting as a mask. The wildness of his eyes conveyed everything Izuku and Himiko needed to know about him.

They would have been nervous if he had been alone, but he wasn't, and that made it feel like they were in the pits again. His second, who seemed responsible for the portals, was a man whose entire body was made out of a dark purple mist, save for his glowing yellow eyes. He wore an exquisite suit with a tie and had a metal brace from around his collarbone to just below his eyes.

The third scared them. It was a giant, black humanoid monster with a very muscular body and many scars. His brain is exposed on the top of his head while his large eyes surround it. He has a beak-like mouth with an array of sharp teeth. It only wore beige pants and metal knee pads designed to emulate skulls. His feet and torso are left bare. The way it moved was what set off their alarm bells; it was almost like it was trying to walk like a person, a monster who wasn't human trying to mimic what a human would move like.

"I am Shigaraki of the League of Villains," the slim man proclaimed, "We have come here to kill All-Might, but he seems strangely absent. Instead, we shall summon the raid boss with screams of these useless MOBS before us."

"Thirteen, get the students out of here!" Aizawa shouted. "I will hold them back."

"SENSEI!" Izuku yelled.

"I understand, Izuku. Retreat and get the class to safety—that is an order!" he said as he leaped over the railing.

Izuku ground his teeth, but he did as he was told. The class followed Thirteen, only to be cut off when the mist villain appeared. Thirteen tried to use her quirk, but he turned it around on her, tearing open the back of her suit. Denki was trying to raise the school with the communicator built into his costume, but he told them he was being jammed.

Eijiro and Mezo launched an attack only to be swallowed up by a portal; he saw Ochaco rush to Thirteen, and he went to help her as there was no way they could leave their teacher behind. He didn't see the one open under him before it was too late. He also saw Himiko falling into a portal; they reached for each other but grabbed nothing but air.

Izuku

Everything was dark, and then suddenly, he was falling. He was over a destroyed cityscape. Thankfully, he was falling at an angle and not to the street below, where he would make a nice splat on the pavement. Not that landing wouldn't hurt, but at least he would live. Rolling with the impact the best he could, he tumbled across the roof before stopping against the ledge. Making sure nothing was broken, he got to his feet.

If they wanted them dead, then why didn't they drop them outside over nothing, he thought. None of them could fly; maybe Ochaco could have saved some of them, Momo a few more if she could make some parachute, but other than that, they would have been dead. They must have something else in mind.

"Get him!" he heard from the alley below. Izuku looked over the ledge and saw Koji holding his arm, being pursued by three thuggish-looking male villains; they were all dressed somewhat similarly in loose-fitting jeans, white shirts, and yellow bandanas. The one in the lead had these black spikes poking out of his body; Izuku watched as he extended his arm and fired off toward Koji, who barely rounded the corner to avoid being hurt.

The second one leaped to the side of the building and ran along it; the third hand's skin began to peel away, revealing jagged bone fingers that extended into hideous-looking claws.

Izuku ran to the other side; seeing a fire escape, he descended as quickly as possible, leaping down the steps to the landing below. Koji, round the corner coming towards him, saw Wall Runner come around just shortly after him. Izuku dove from the second-floor landing, tackling him off the wall and into a pile of trash below. Koji spun around as Spike came into view; he panicked momentarily before he dove for cover to avoid another shot.

Izuku quickly grabbed Wall Runner's face, fish-hooking him, and yanked his head to the side. He brought his bladed gauntlet across the man's face, cutting it open. The man yelled in pain as Izuku took some of his blood and activated his quirk; Wall Runner landed a rigid rib shot to get away.

Spike turned towards Izuku, ready to shoot, only to be speared away by Koji, who came barreling in like a missile. Koji began to strike at anything he could target when he was unable to avoid getting shot in the arm, forcing him to fall away in pain.

Bone Claw was next. Izuku barely managed to dodge back away from the attack. Wall Runner kicked him in the back of the knee, sending him down. Izuku rolled to the side to avoid a downward swipe from Bone Claw, sweeping his legs and sending him down. As Bone Claw scrambled, Koji lifted his heavy foot across the villain's hand, snapping the claws.

Izuku kicked Spike in the gut and blocked another kick from Wall Runner. Koji grabbed Bone Claw off the ground and hurled him into the wall. Izuku's bladed gauntlet cut down Spike's chest, drawing blood from the villain. He added the villain's strength to his own. Bone Claw staggered to his knees somehow, only for Koji to knee him in the head, trapping it between his knee and the wall, sending the villain down.

Wall Runner tried to tackle Izuku in the back, but Izuku only staggered. Now, having the strength of Wall Runner and Spike, he turned and grabbed Wall Runner, tossing him away. Koji grabbed the unconscious Bone Claw and threw him at Spike, sending that villain down again. Izuku took the opportunity to add Bone Claw blood as he ran and punted Wall Runner in the head, sending him down. Spike kicked Koji's leg out, sending him down; he got to his feet and didn't even see Izuku come from the side and hit him with a clean shot to the jaw. Another kick to the head ended the skirmish.

Izuku pulled Koji to his feet, "Damn good job," he said. "May I?" he said, pointing at the wound on Koji's shoulder. Koji just gave him a thumbs up before looking away before Izuku took some of his blood. Izuku's eyes widened at how strong Koji was; his classmate was much stronger than anyone would have given him credit; he looked big and strong, but how he carried himself carried such a gentle giant to another level.

Izuku looked at the downed villains; he didn't know when they would get up. "Help me get them into a dumpster," Izuku said as they dumped them in, locked the lid in place, knocked it on its side, and pushed it up against the wall.

"Toru!" Koji said suddenly, grabbing Izuku's arm and pointing out of the alley.

"Let's go, lead the way," Izuku said.

Mountain Zone

Kyoka jammed her jacks into her attacker's eyes as she kicked him away; she scrambled to her feet as another one tackled her back down. Clawing at her, she yelled when the villain grabbed her jacks in one hand and yanked her head back, his fist colliding with her face, cutting her scream short.

She tried desperately to get to her feet, but he was too heavy; she felt his hand clawing at her waistband, and she let her jacks extend and roll onto her back. She placed her hands on his face and dug her thumbs into his eye sockets. He screamed, letting go of her jacks; she didn't stop sending them as deep as she could into his ears, shattering his eardrums and pumping her racing heartbeat into his head.

The first attacker came at her; she slipped past him, tripping him. She grabbed a fist-size rock and slammed it into the side of his head; when he still moved, she did it again until he stopped. She stumbled off of him, hearing the sounds of fighting. Not too far. She heard Momo yell out and scream in pain at someone. Kyoka raced towards her classmate.

She was whirled and barely managed to move out of a knife swipe. It tore through her shirt and left a cut on her stomach; she fell to a knee; the villain reversed their grip on the knife and went to fall upon her with a maniacal look in their eyes. Suddenly, Denki came barreling from the side, spearing them away. They rolled across the ground while Denki's quirk was not very accurate at range, but with his hands on their opponent, he couldn't miss.

Kyoka had been alone when she first landed and was immediately set upon by their attackers; she was thankful that she wasn't alone as everything was washing over her. One villain set upon doing something unspeakable, while another just wanted to kill her. She found Momo worried that she was in a similar situation.

Momo had a baton in one hand and a cattle prod in the other; one villain lay at her feet, and another cradled a broken arm. Kyoka came around the corner as a female villain with wispy white hair ran towards Momo; she watched as Momo swung. The villain seemed ghostly and passed through the attack unharmed, kicking Momo in the chest and sending her down. The man, cradling his arm, tried to press the advantage, but Kyoka ran and shoulder-blocked him, sending him crashing down.

Momo got to a knee and extended the cattle prod as Ghost passed through it, but Momo rolled to her side to avoid the attack. Kyoka spun at the sound of footsteps racing towards them to see seven more villains round a corner. The girls began to panic as their avenue of escape was cut off.

Ghost came at Momo again. Momo was on her feet, and this time, when she jabbed the cattle prod, she jumped back and held the baton out. When Ghost materialized, the baton was in front of her. A terrible scream echoed off the mountain wall. Kyoka landed a kick to the villain, who had talked ribs, as she backed towards Momo. Momo drove the cattle prod to the back of Ghost's neck, knocking the villain out and cutting off her screams.

Momo handed Kyoka the cattle prod as a staff came to her hands. They both took a deep, calming breath as they prepared to fight. When suddenly, Denki came tumbling over the rocks, holding his arm as blood ran freely. He dived to the side, and a muscular villain dived after him with large curved blades all over his body. Denki was in between the group and the girls.

"Denki, give them everything you got!" Momo shouted.

Denki blinked. He hoped Momo had a plan, but he knew she must have; she saw her chest glow as he let loose his 1.5 Million Indiscriminate Shock. Momo pulled an insolated blanket over her and Kyoka as the screams of their attackers filled the air. Once it stopped, they threw it off; seeing Denki stumble around and their attackers down, they dared to take a breath.

The ground erupted from under Denki, and out rose a man, bare-chested, his body covered in electrical burns. A shadow fell over the girls, and they dove apart as another villain came crashing down where they were. He rose out his lower half and was a metal drill. He spun out of the hole, and the girls readied their weapons.

"Surrender or your friend dies," the one holding Denki said; they saw him holding a large knife to Denki's throat. When they didn't immediately move, he pressed the blade, drawing some blood.

Kyoka and Momo dropped their weapons. From around the corner came a third villain who was cut up, but he had a satisfied grin. He wore a pair of garish-tight metallic silver pants and a matching vest. He seemed to be tucking himself back into his pants as he approached the corner. He was holding a bandage to his side. Momo's hand glowed from behind Kyoka's back, and she felt a small, thin stiletto knife in her hand.

"Already?" Burns said.

"You know that Maniac doesn't hesitate," Drill said.

"Yeah, well, she put on a tough front, got a good cut in," Maniac said, standing next to Burns. "Cute little ash blonde, whole vampire gimmick, but she was crying. The other two are finishing her off right now," he laughed, running his thumb across his neck. "She kept crying for some douche named Izuku. It was pretty fucking funny. I wonder who these two fine pieces of meat will cry for?" he licked his lips.

Momo and Kyoka immediately fought back tears, thinking of what horrible fate had befallen Himiko; they pushed down the bile, thinking of what these pieces of trash had in store for them.

"Drill, tie them up," Burns ordered, "Stupid children, what made you think we would let your friend live?"

Suddenly, a knife was in Maniac's hand, and he spun and stabbed into the side of Burn's throat and ripped it across as he pulled the knife against Denki's throat away. Kyoka and Momo didn't question it; Kyoka leaped and drove the stiletto into Drill's shoulder blade; Momo grabbed the Cattle prod and shoved it into the villain's mouth, making him scream around the device. Kyoka fell away, holding the baton and whirling to find Maniac, but she saw the skin begin to bubble, turn into a green sludge, and fall away, revealing Himiko.

"Himiko!" the two girls yelled. They did their best not to vomit seeing the nearly decapitated villain lying on the ground dead.

Himiko fell to the knee, holding her side; Momo created bandages, noticing the blood seeping through her fingers. "You need to cauterize it," Himiko said. "Silver Nitrate, can you make silver nitrate?"

Momo nodded, and metal zip ties fell from Momo. "Kyoka, secure the villains and let us know if someone is approaching," she said as a vial of silver powder came to her hand and an applicator stuck in the other. Himiko tucked part of her leather jacket in her mouth and bit down.

When the process was done, Momo looked at Himiko. Her costume was damaged, and she was missing her coat, "Do we need ties for the others?"

"No," was all Himiko said.

Shipwreck Zone

Tsu yanked Mineta onto the boat; he tumbled from her grasp, holding his arm that had just been in the mouth of some villain that had tried to use its razor-sharp teeth to kill the diminutive hero in training while Itsuka was wresting with some Octopus villain. Mineta grabbed his orbs; the villain had come for him and shoved them down the villain's throat. Another was across the villain's nose when Tsu yanked him out.

"Go get Itsuka," Mineta said, pulling a bandage. "I will survive long enough till you get back." He did his best to wrap his arm, his breathing heavy; he thought he was about to die, and he tried to calm himself as his heart was pounding and tears threatened to fall. He did manage to recall the feel of Tsu's bosom pressed against him and her arm around him, so that helped.

Tsu came leaping back with Itsuka, which was covered in blood and black ink, and she was holding more than one tentacle in her hand; her costume was torn and not in a very sexy way by Mineta's standards. Tsu came over to him and helped him bandage his arm.

"You okay, Kero," she said.

"No, those things are trying to kill us," Mineta said. "We are boned and not in a good way; there are more of them than us."

"We will get out of this," Itsuka said, steadying her breathing.

"Yes, we will," Tsu added, patting his shoulder.

"Yeah, we have to. I don't want to die a virgin," Mineta said, getting to his feet. "That would be a disservice to the female gender."

Itsuka and Tsu shook their heads, making them laugh slightly. "I have no intention of dying today," Itsuka said. She peaked over the side; the villains were all hanging back, and one did fire some spikes, making her duck back. "They don't know our quirks," she said. "Tsu, how far could you jump with Mineta?"

"Nearly to shore," she said, her head tilted.

"Mineta, do those orbs stick even in the water?" the boy nodded. "Ok, here is my plan…"

Ruin Zone

Koji and Izuku ran into the street and saw a flurry of activity as a group of villains fought a bloodied Toru. One villain was on the ground holding a broken leg as Toru kicked another one in the balls. Ducked under a wild swing from the villain, she brought her elbow up under their chin and sent them stumbling back.

Koji and Izuku didn't stop as they ran to aid their classmates. Izuku landed a right cross, which made a sickening thud, and the sound of something breaking from his increased strength, Koji tackled another into his teammate. Izuku grabbed another by the head and bounced it violently off the ground with such force that blood immediately began to pool. Again, Izuku added more strength. Toru shoved a villain towards Izuku, who dropped him with a violent uppercut that lifted the man off his feet and shattered some ribs. Koji head-butted one, breaking their nose.

One of the villains attempted to stab Toru in the back. The girl dodged but stumbled over another villain and fell to the ground. The villain tried to follow up, but Izuku grabbed the villain's arm, overpowering him and driving the knife into the villain's gut; he drove his fist across the villain's face, sending him down. Izuku smiled and added more blood from the downed villains.

Koji handed Toru some bandages so she could stop the bleeding and wipe herself off. "You okay?" Izuku said.

"Yes, rough landing. I ended up getting a cut on my head," Toru replied. "I wish my blood were invisible; that shit sucked. I need to thank All-Might for the clothes. Some of them had terrible intentions, the dumb son of a bitch.

"Incoming," Koji said, turning towards an alley as a large, bulky, highly muscular man with short, spiky, sandy blond hair and tiny black eyes stood before them. They watched as his very muscles bulged, then burst from his skin, covering his body like armor; he looked over them and smiled sinisterly.

Izuku's blood ran cold, "Muscular," he whispered. Izuku recognized him from the Pit; he would come in occasionally and murder whoever was put into the pit with him. Izuku had watched this monster even kill a child in the hall for looking at him. That was not the only horror this thing had done; when someone was sent to him, they never returned, male or female.

"Toru, Koji," Izuku said, slowly stepping before them. "When this starts, you need to run, run, and don't look back; if you see Himiko, tell her that Muscular is here."

"Izuku," Toru said in protest.

"Please, Toru, you don't know how dangerous this thing is; he is not a man, he is a monster," Izuku said. "I know him from the pit."

"I know you," Muscular said, bouncing in place, "Where is that blonde bitch? Ringmaster wouldn't let me have her."

"Gone," Izuku said, taking a deep breath. "NOW!' he yelled as he rushed into attack Muscular. Toru hesitated, but Koji grabbed her and ran off. It wasn't out of fear, but he understood what Izuku was saying; his classmate was trying to buy them and the rest some time.
