Not too long after the villains left, the paramedics and firefighters had finally arrived.

Of the forty students in total, Sixteen were unconscious and in serious condition due to the gas. And one due to being knocked out. Four others were injured, those being Tokage and Tetsutetsu, Kirishima and Tsuburaba. Seventeen were unharmed, physically. And two were missing...

One of the six pro heroes that were present during the attack, Pixie-Bob, was in serious condition due to a blow to the head. Vlad King had suffered a concussion and a couple of severe burns. And Ragdoll still hadn't woken up after being slammed into a tree at full force. The green haired woman in particular suffering multiple contusions and broken bones.

As for civilians, Kota Izumi, the nephew of the pro hero Mandalay was found at the base of the nearby mountainside. Apparently the boy had fallen off a cliff and was in critical condition.

On the villains side, three were caught and arrested. Those individuals being the wanted murderer Muscular, an escaped death row inmate by name of Moonfish, and the gas villain who went by Mustard. The others vanished without a trace thanks to the warp villain.

The summer training camp that the students were all looking forward to couldn't have been more of a disaster.

The rest of night was practically a blur for Tokage. The only things that she could remember clearly were arriving back at the camp only to learn that Bakugou had also been taken by the villains. Cursing out Yanagi and Shoji for leaving Midoriya to fend for himself. And being taken over to the nearby hospital to get rushed into emergency surgery to have the knife removed from her forearm.

Never before had Tokage been more grateful for inheriting her mother's regeneration ability than she was now. As it turns out, her stab wound was already beginning to heal and the doctors were certain that she'd make a full recovery within the next 24 hours. She was worried that sustaining such a serious injury without her quirk being active may have led to some permanent damage. But now she could breathe a bit easier. Even her left arm was already a third of the way to its former glory.

At the moment, the green haired teen was laying in her hospital bed and staring up at the ceiling. It had been half a day since the attack and the morning sun had already risen over the horizon. Her father and Kayama rushed over to see her as soon as they got the news, and the two were currently downstairs in the cafeteria right now getting some much needed breakfast. It was sort of weird for the girl to see the blue haired man worry over her so much. But she was glad that he was here nonetheless.

Based on what she knew, all of her classmates that got caught up in the gas were on the floor above her and most of them were still unconscious. The only ones who were awake being Shiozaki and Honenuki. The reason for this might have been because they got the least of it before being evacuated from the area. And even then, Honenuki was still a bit out of it.

However, as worried as she was for her classmates there was one person that she truly feared for.

Midoriya had been taken. The boy literally threw himself to wolves just to give her and the others a chance to get to safety. Tokage still had no clue what those guys wanted with him. But for all she knew he could be getting tortured right now and no one would be there to save him. Part of her was angry at him for doing something so stupid. But the other was angry at herself for being a reason that he was in that position in the first place.

Just before the girl's mind could descend further into her thoughts the door to her hospital room opened up. In walked Tetsutetsu and Yanagi, and neither of them looked particularly good. If she remembered correctly they just got back from giving their statements to the police.

"Hey, how are you feeling?" Her longtime friend asked in a soft tone.

"You got shot multiple times and you're asking me if I'm okay?" The girl gave him a half-hearted grin before directing her attention to Yanagi. The two hadn't spoken since her little tirade a few hours ago and she defiantly owed the girl an apology. "Hey Reiko…I'm...sorry for what I said to you last night."

"Don't be." Yanagi answered in a dejected tone, definitely one that neither of the two were used to. "You were absolutely right. I was scared so I let Midoriya-kun take the fall for all of us. I panicked and let him make that decision when there was more that I could've done to stop it."

"No…" Tokage shot back, doing everything she could to hide her shame. "You did what you thought was best for everyone, including me. As much as I hate to say it...it was the most logical choice that we had, given the situation."

"Logical or not, I should've done more…"

There was a weird tension in the air after that statement. Yanagi was usually a stoic and calm person, but the way she was holding her head in shame really made Tokage sick to her stomach. Some of the things she said to her last night were more than uncalled for. And she wondered how much her words really hurt the girl. She wanted to do more to tell her that she was sorry, but for now she just decided to change subjects.

"So…you guys already gave your statements to the cops?"

"Yeah." Tetsutetsu nodded. "You're giving yours later today, right?"

"Yeah…my arms are already on the way to healing themselves completely, but the doctor wants to give me one final check before releasing me. After that, I'm heading over to the station with my dad and Aunt Nemuri tonight."

"Well I'm glad that you're doing alright. I was really worried about you last night."

"Thanks for the concern, Metalhead." She gave him a toothy smirk.

The atmosphere in the air suddenly shifted as Tetsutetsu then brought up a topic that none of them wanted to talk about. "So why do you think they were after him?"

"No idea." Tokage said dejectedly.

"The only thing we know is that they were after him, Bakugou-san and Ragdoll. According to the detective I talked to those three were the targets." Yanagi then spoke up.

Why those three were the intended victims was a complete mystery. Midoriya and Bakugou obviously had some history with each other. But did that have anything to do with it? And Ragdoll was even more confusing. Sure the Wild Pussycats were relatively famous, but why her and not someone else? All of this was way too confusing to even think about right now.

'Just what exactly is going on? This fucking sucks! God, I hope Izuku is okay right now….'

To say that Midoriya would rather be anywhere else in the world right now would be putting it mildly.

After the initial hour or so of his arrival to the 'League of Villains' base of operations, things had been rather uneventful. It didn't take long for the group of criminals to tie Bakugou down to a specially made chair and shove the two of them into some windowless room with only a single overhead light. The only consolation prize to all of this was that Midoriya had the luxury of not having any restraints being placed on his body at all. According to their kidnappers, there was no point in tying down someone who could move things with his mind.

Not like that did him much good anyway….

The boy was still unable to use his quirk. Even if he wanted to, it probably wasn't the best idea considering he still had no clue what the other members of the League were capable of. Or what their quirks were. From what he had been able to gather so far Magna, Spinner, Twice and Toga were all still unknowns. He had seen Dabi, Compress and Kurogiri use their quirks already. And from what he had heard about the attack on the school earlier this year the leader, Tomura Shigaraki, could disintegrate things at will.

The only relief to this situation so far came when Compress, the man currently watching over him and Bakugou, left his post at the behest of their leader. Finally leaving the two of them some time to figure out exactly what was going on. Neither of them had said a word to each other ever since being placed into this room. But now was as good a time as any to plan their next move.

"How did you get captured?" Were the first words out of Bakugou's mouth once the door shut. Of course Midoriya hated the fact that he was trapped in a dark room with the one person that he couldn't stand. But his personal feelings had to take a back seat.

"I let them capture me so that the others could escape." Midoriya answered matter-of-factly, having already predicted what the 'explosion' quirk user's reaction would be.

"You what?!" Bakugou barked at him. A look of complete bewilderment plastered on his face. "You gave up?!"

"It was the most reasonable decision that I could come with at the time...given the circumstances"

"Don't give me that shit, Deku! Are you seriously telling me that you just let these clowns capture you? Why the hell didn't you use your quirk on them? I thought you were supposed to be strong!"

"I got injured and couldn't use it at the time. Actually, I'm still not able to activate it right now. I'm pretty sure that I have a concussion." He clarified. It was the truth, his head was still pounding even at this very moment.

"After all this time, you're still just a useless loser." Bakugou scoffed.

Midoriya somehow found a way to keep his irritation down in order to continue the conversation. "What about you, how did you get captured?"

Bakugou turned his face away from him and was silent for a few moments. After letting out a very annoyed groan, he finally came clean on how he ended up in the same spot as him. "That weirdo with the top hat got the drop on me when they attacked the lodge..."

"Ah...I see."

"What's that supposed to mean, huh?!"

"Nothing."

"It doesn't matter how I got caught, something like that will never happen again. Besides, we need to come up with a plan to get out of here."

"Keep your voice down you fool. They're probably listening to us right now." Midoriya told him while looking around. The room was still pretty dark, so it was impossible to accurately tell if there were any surveillance devices.

"I know that already, you damn nerd!"

All Midoriya could do was let out an exasperated sigh. This situation was truly terrible. There was no doubt in his mind that in terms of firepower, he and Bakugou could break out of this place once his quirk returned. It might even be easy. But there were still too many unknowns. For all he knew they could be anywhere in Japan right now. Hell, depending on how powerful Kurogiri's quirk was they might not even be in Japan at all.

The boy's mind then wandered off and started to think about how things were going outside. No doubt his mother must've been a wreck. She more than likely received word that he was kidnapped by now. And knowing her, she was on the verge of a breakdown. He promised her that he would never go missing again after the last time, but it looks like he couldn't uphold his end of the deal.

The next thing his mind flashed to was Tokage. The look on the girl's face when he told her to go on without him hurt. More than it probably should have. And her screams for the others to go back and stop him from giving himself up was still ringing in his ears. He really needed to find a way to make up for worrying her so much.

Right as Midoriya was about to speak, the door to the room suddenly flew open. The two students winced for a moment at the sudden flood of light. But after their vision cleared, they could see Tomura Shigaraki and Kurogiri standing in the doorway.

"Sorry for the...lack of accommodations. But we needed to get some things in order." The blue haired man spoke in a dry tone.

"What do you want, Fuckface?!" Bakugou inquired impolitely.

"My, my, that's quite some colorful language for an aspiring hero." He smiled. "But sorry, we're not here for you right now...we're here for him." Shigaraki then pointed to Midoriya.

"Me?" The green haired boy failed to hide his surprise. Whatever they wanted couldn't have been good.

"Yes, Master has been wanting to talk to you for some time now."

"Master?" Bakugou immediately questioned. "So you're not the one in charge? Tch...figures. A pasty-faced loser like you doesn't even look smart enough to be calling the shots."

Shigaraki chose to ignore those words for the time being and fight off his natural urge to turn the boy into dust. After all, it wasn't such a good idea to kill the hostage you wasted so much effort in capturing. Instead he just turned his attention back to Midoriya. "Let's go."

Seeing as his options were to either comply or get turned into a pile of dust, Midoriya chose the smarter of the two and stood up from his seat. He still had their doubts about them taking his life or Bakugou's after going through all the trouble of capturing him.

Besides, maybe this would give him an opportunity to learn more about his enemies. Like Bakugou, he too thought that Shigaraki was the ringleader of this group. But if he wasn't then this might be his only chance to learn about this "Master" person. Possibly even find out if he had any weaknesses that could be exploited.

Without any warning Kurogiri created another portal and directed him to step through it. All Midoriya could do was give a silent gulp before crossing the threshold into the darkness.

"Where the hell did you take him?!" Bakugou inquired.

"He and Master have a bit of...catching up to do. But don't worry, he'll be fine." The blue haired man smiled creepily under his mask.

Catching up...what the hell did that mean? Did Deku know who this "Master" person was? Was that the reason why he was taken? Something about the way this smug bastard said that didn't sit right with Bakugou. Like there was something more to it than that. 'Don't tell me shitty Deku got himself mixed up with a bunch of villains.' He wondered before Twice and Dabi came into the room.

"Now that we have that handled...how about the two of us have a little chat, Katsuki Bakugou…."

Moments after walking through the portal, Midoriya once again found himself in an unfamiliar location. Except this one was drastically different from the last. The place where he currently stood was an even darker and more dreary place than the bar. All around him were metal tables, computer monitors and what looked like used medical equipment. Wherever he was, it was ten times scarier.

'What is this place?'

"My apologies, Midoriya. I do hope that Tomura wasn't too rough with you."

All of a sudden the boy felt something that he had never experienced before. An almost overwhelming sense of dread washed over his body and the hairs on the back of his neck instantly stood on end. He didn't even need to turn around to know that whoever the person was that owned that voice, they were something to be feared. However, for some reason he felt like he recognized it from somewhere.

Very slowly Midoriya rotated his body and mentally prepared himself for the worst. He wasn't exactly sure what to expect, but he had to steal his nerves either way.

The moment he fully turned around, he was absolutely confused by what he saw. There, roughly five or six meters in front of him, was a man. But not some ordinary looking man, one with a bizarre appearance even by today's standards. He didn't really know how to describe it, but the top half of his head was drastically different than the rest. Almost like one gigantic scar. He was sitting in a large leather chair with multiple tubes and wires coming out of various parts of his body.

"Forgive me for my less-than-stellar appearance. I may be in marginally better shape than I was the last time that we spoke. However, these old bones of mine do need their rest." The man continued with a slight smile on his face.

"W-w-who are you?" The boy asked nervously. This was odd, he hadn't been in this person's presence for more than fifteen seconds and he could practically feel power radiating off his body.

"Ah yes...I did have to alter your memory after our last encounter, do forgive me. But you can never be too careful these days."

"Our l-last encounter...what are y-you talking about? I've...I've never met you before in my life." Midoriya then said.

"I will explain everything shortly. After all, the two of us do have quite a bit of catching up to do." The man continued in a soft but still ominous tone. "But before that, please tell me...have you been enjoying that quirk of yours? I was a bit sad to part ways with it. But if it's been to your liking, then I have no reason to complain…."

It took Fubuki Katsuragi all of forty-five minutes to make over to the Central Tokyo Police Department once she received the call from Detective Naomosa Tsukauchi.

Ever since the attack last night on the U.A. students, there had been no leads on what was going on outside of getting the injured children to safety. As happy as she was that no one ended up dying as a result of the chaos, her mind was in a completely different place right now. Midoriya was missing and she had no clue what he could be going through right now.

Based on the information that she had been given prior to walking into the building, this 'League of Villains' was no joke. Their ranks included a now-captured murderer by the name of Muscular. The death row inmate, Moonfish. Who was the same serial cannibal that her own sister captured a few years ago. And if that wasn't bad enough, they were rumored to have connections to the 'Hero Killer'. The idea that her protégé was in their clutches made her stomach churn.

The moment Katsuragi walked through the large wooden doors of the conference room she was greeted with a veritable "who's who" of heroes from around the country. Edgeshot, Endeavor, Gang Orca, Best Jeanist, Kamui Woods, Mt. Lady and Tiger were the first people that she noticed.

Her eyes then scanned across the room to see who else was present. Sitting near the back corner was Ragdoll, who had a massive cast on her right arm. Next to her was an older hero in a white and yellow suit that she didn't recognize. And sitting near the head of the table next to the detective was none other All Might himself. For a second, the woman had to wonder whether or not she was at a strategy meeting or the national ranking ceremony.

"Blizzard, thank you for showing up on such short notice." Tsukauchi greeted the woman as he stood up from his seat and went over to shake her hand.

"What is she doing here?" A very obviously displeased Endeavor inquired.

"My student was just kidnapped. Why wouldn't I be here?" She countered.

It was no secret that Katsuragi wasn't the number two hero's favorite person in the world. Her sister had openly disrespected him in the public eye more than a few times when she was still alive. And they were only a few months removed from one of his most valuable sidekicks ditching his agency for hers. Needless to say, the man had a grudge against her that she didn't feel like dealing with right now.

"Ah yes, that boy is your brother isn't he?"

Seriously, how many people were going to ask her that? It was bad enough that Ozehana and a few of the heroes at her agency kept joking about it. But the fact that Endeavor of all people said it rubbed her the wrong way. The last thing she wanted was for Midoriya to get dragged into this nonsense.

"The two of you can hash out whatever problem you have later. We need to get started, there are lives at stake." Edgeshot interjected, giving Katsuragi a knowing look.

"Yes, indeed."

The group of heroes and police officers sat down in their seats and waited for the briefing to begin. Thankfully, it didn't take long to get down to business. Which was good considering the time crunch that they were on.

"As everyone knows, the attack on the Wild Pussycat's property last night was meant to target and capture three individuals. Izuku Midoriya, Katsuki Bakugou and Tomoko Shiretoko." Tsukauchi began, only for everyone in the room to turn their attention over the green haired woman currently dressed in street clothes. Katsuragi heard that she had been injured in the attack. And considering her appearance, she was lucky to only have a broken arm.

"The group known as the 'League of Villains' was able to capture both Midoriya and Bakugou before retreating. We still have yet to determine why these specific people were targeted."

"How did they get captured?" Best Jeanist raised his hand. "Bakugou-kun isn't someone that you can get the drop on very easily. And from what I've seen, Midoriya-san is quite the powerhouse himself."

"The testimony that the students and teachers have given so far tells us that Bakugou was taken sometime during the assault by Moonfish and the flame quirk user, Dabi. It probably happened when everyone was distracted. As for Midoriya…he willingly gave himself up to the villains to buy some of his classmates time to escape and get some injured students to safety. Apparently he was also injured and wasn't able to use his quirk at the time."

"He what?!" Katsuragi blurted out. Did she hear that correctly? Midoriya actually surrendered himself to that group? Not only that, but if he was injured badly enough to where he couldn't use his quirk then that meant that he probably had a concussion or worse.

"Yes, apparently they were in a no-win situation and the boy chose to just bite the bullet. They had three injured students with their group. One of which had a knife lodged in her arm." Tiger added.

"Save that information for later." Gang Orca stated. "Do we have any idea on how to locate them? The longer we wait, the more danger they could be in."

"Ragdoll, will you please?" The detective then motioned over to the 'search' quirk user.

"Of course." The woman stood up from her seat and approached the table. "As you all know, my quirk is 'search'. I can track the location and weakness of anyone that I "tag" with it."

"Okay…" Mt. Lady gave her a questioning look.

"The benefit to this is that it doesn't turn off when I lose consciousness. It only deactivates when I want it to. And as of right now, I still have every last one of the students from the camp tagged. That includes Midoriya-kun and Bakugou-kun."

"Are you serious?" Kamui woods looked to the woman with bewilderment. Ragdoll's quirk was certainly useful for a rescue hero. But he never imagined that it was so powerful.

"So you know where they are then?"

"Yes and no..." The woman shook her head. "My quirk is limited by distance. And they're too far away from me to give an exact location. However, I do know the general direction and distance. The closer I am to them, the more exact my quirk can get. Right now, they're about seventy kilometers southwest of where we are now."

'That's in the area of Kanagawa prefecture.' Everyone thought.

"So what are waiting around for?" Endeavor said loudly.

Tsukauchi had no trouble explaining the plan as it currently stood. "Ragdoll, Tiger and a few detectives are going to scout the area after this meeting. Once they have an accurate assessment of the locations, we'll move out immediately."

"Locations?" Edgeshot quirked an eyebrow.

"That's right." The detective then nodded. "A couple of hours ago, Midoriya moved to a different location roughly five kilometers away from Bakugou in a matter of seconds. They have a warp gate on their side so it makes sense why it was so abrupt."

"Any more information than that?" The old man in the white and yellow suit asked. Katsuragi could swear that she knew him from somewhere.

"They're both still alive, but that's all I can tell from so far away." Ragdoll said in a solemn tone.

"If everything goes as planned the rescue operation will begin tonight. Until then, the rest of us will remain on standby and wait for the word from Tiger and Ragdoll. Once we have a good idea of what we're heading into we'll split up into two teams and assault both locations." Tsukauchi announced.

With no complaints from the heroes, the group quickly dispersed to begin their necessary preparations. In times like these it was best to have a small group of heavy hitters who knew how to handle themselves. And with everyone present, they were confident that they would be able to get the job done.

Once the rest of the heroes finally left the conference room, Yagi, Tsukauchi and Sorahiko were the only three to remain.

"So...what are we going to do about the boy?" The elderly hero looked to the other two.

"We still don't know exactly what is going on over there. For all we know, they might have just separated the two of them because they both have top-level quirks. It makes sense given their strength." The detective replied.

Yagi simply chose to stay silent. He had his own theories, but none of them could be proven until he saw things with his own eyes. After hearing about what happened back at the camp, the blonde haired man was now having doubts about his earlier assumptions.

"In any case, our top priority is to rescue them. If Midoriya is working with them, then we'll find out once we start the operation."

"This is turning out to be one giant mess." Sorahiko scoffed before making his own exit. "I just hope that we can solve this without any unnecessary complications."

~2 Years Ago~

It was a normal midsummer night in Saitama Prefecture. Business was booming, the citizens were out enjoying themselves and the general atmosphere was one of peace and tranquility. Nowadays people barely had any cause for alarm, especially since their town was voted the second safest prefecture in all of Japan only a few days ago. And a large part of that was due to a certain green haired heroine who was known for keeping the streets clean and watching over them.

"I already told you Lily, I don't give a damn if she is the President of the HPSC! I'm not going to that goddamn ranking ceremony!" Tatsumaki Katsuragi, the current number four heroine, shouted into her phone at her assistant.

"But ma'am, y-you've already missed the last three-"

"And I'm skipping out on this one too! I don't get why she even bothered asking in the first place."

"T-Tatsumaki-san, please. The President is going to be very upset if you don't show up again."

"What is she going to do, revoke my hero license?!" The diminutive woman laughed smugly as she zipped through the air on her way back to her agency.

On the other end of the line, Lily just let out a defeated sigh. She was thankful to Fubuki for landing her this new job, but dealing with her friend's sister was an absolute nightmare. "I understand ma'am, I will inform the HPSC that you will not be attending the ceremony again."

"Good...I have better things to do than waste my time standing on some stage with a bunch of old idiots and glory hogs." She said in a satisfied tone before changing subjects. "Now, where's Fubuki? Her shift should be over by now and she isn't answering her phone."

"Fubuki-san hasn't returned yet, ma'am."

"Don't tell me that she's still pouting after I saved her ass again this morning? Seriously, that girl needs to learn to not overestimate herself so damn much." The two sisters had a pretty heated argument earlier that day after Tatsumaki came to Fubuki's aid. And the younger sibling pretty much took off after that to do God knows what.

"We haven't heard from her since this morning."

"Hmph!" Tatsumaki scoffed. "Well if she shows up before I get back, tell her that I'm going to shove my foot up her ass for being such a damn nuisance! Fifteenth ranked hero or not, she's still my little sister."

"Y-yes ma'am…."

Deciding that there was nothing more that needed to be said, the 'psychokinesis' user ended the phone call and continued soaring through the night sky. She had a particularly long day today and still had to submit her report to the police department after capturing that maniac cannibal, Moonfish last week.

Just when Tatsumaki rounded the next building, a frantic scream from below caught her attention.

"Help! Please somebody, help!"

'God dammit, just when my shift was about to end.' The woman cursed her luck. She quickly shook away the thought and went to go investigate. No matter how tired or annoyed they were, a hero still had to do their duty. And she wasn't about to ignore someone in need.

A few seconds later, Tatsumaki found herself in the middle of a dark alleyway where the scream originated from. However...there was one little problem, no one was there. The woman was absolutely certain that she heard the yelling from right where she was levitating. But the only thing that she could see was a pile of trash and some discarded boxes.

"Hello! Is anyone over her- Bleh!"

All of a sudden, Tatsumaki was caught off guard some foul smelling black liquid erupted from her own mouth. The green haired woman didn't even have enough time to think before her entire body was surrounded by darkness.

'What the hell is this?!'

- ( o ) -

As quickly as it came, the black liquid that enveloped the woman dissipated. Literally leaving her with a bad taste in her mouth. Tatsumaki had no clue what the hell was going on. But whoever was responsible for this was going to pay the price.

"As I said Doctor, I may have only acquired this one yesterday but I already have a pretty good mastery over it." A cold and ominous voice suddenly said.

"I would agree, Master." Another replied.

The woman quickly looked up to figure out what was going on and was shocked to see that she was no longer in the alleyway. Instead, she was in some dark building surrounded by metal tables and computer monitors. And in front of her was some weird looking man with tubes sticking out from various places in his body sitting in a large chair.

"Who are you?! And what the hell is going on here?!"

"It's nice to meet you, Tornado. It's not everyday that I get to meet a famous hero such as yourself." The mysterious figure replied smugly.

"I asked you a question, potato hea- Argh!"

Without any warning, these strange black tentacles shot out of the man's hand and buried themselves into the woman's sternum. The next thing Tatsumaki felt was a surge of electricity running through her body, along with the sensation that her brain was on fire. This pain lasted only for a few seconds before coming to an abrupt halt. After that the tentacles quickly retracted, leaving five gaping holes in the woman's body.

"Yes...quite powerful indeed. Exactly what I expected from a top ranked hero." The man said in a satisfied tone.

Years of training and experience kicked in and Tatsumaki instantly took an offensive stance. She didn't know who this guy was but one thing was absolutely clear to her, he was dangerous. She was in a negative situation and in her opinion it was kill or be killed.

"I don't know who you are, bitch. But you won't live long enough to regret ever crossing paths with the Terrible Tornado!" The number four heroine shouted with vigor as she activated her quirk with the full intention snapping this guy's neck.

Only something was wrong, her quirk didn't activate….

'What the hell?' She thought to herself as she tried once again to use her powers. Only to receive the same result as before. Something was definitely wrong, aside from the holes in her chest her body felt...off.

"What the hell did you just do to me you son of a-"

*Slice!*

The last thing Tatsumaki's eyes ever saw was the image of her headless body hitting the floor in front of her. In an instant, everything went dark and the world around her became ice cold. Unfortunately, this was the last day that anyone would ever see the number four heroine alive….

Author's Notes: Wow, well this escalated rather quickly…. I think it's been blatantly obvious for the entire story that Midoriya has Tatsumaki's quirk. I haven't exactly been hiding. In fact, I'm still confused on how some people came to the conclusion that Inko herself might actually be Tatsumaki. But that's neither here nor there.

1. Midoriya's backstory is going to be split up into two main parts. One before meeting AfO, and one after receiving his quirk. But part two is only relevant for the next major conflict of this story.

2. No, the students will not have a rescue squad of their own since Yaoyorozu never placed a tracker on that Nomu. They're all just going to have to sit and wait for things to happen. However, since Ragdoll was never captured the heroes will still be able to locate their missing students. And a lot faster now since they can get precise locations and intell much faster.

3. For all those wondering, yes Kota did get thrown off the cliff by Muscular. However, I assure you that he's gonna make a full recovery and will live out the rest of his days comfortably. So fear not, I didn't kill him off.

Like always, thanks for reading and don't be afraid to leave a comment or review. I'm really interested in seeing your predictions on what's going to happen next.
