Two Teams for The Rescue

Setsuna hugged Izuku while tears ran down her face, "I was nervous you were going to reject me." This was her first time giving a confession to someone. She was afraid she might return empty-handed. The girl rubbed her face against Izuku.

Izuku chuckled, "Setchan, I have to be blind not to love someone as special as you." He kissed the girl on the forehead making the green-haired girl blush a lot. Setsuna quickly hid her pink face.

Setsuna pulled her face and left the hug. She began to nervously play with her hair. She managed to pass the first point, but she didn't know what to do now. She never had an actual boyfriend before, only jerks who were trying to get into her pants.

Setsuna pressed her fingers together and asked, "So, what are we going to do now?" she scratched her head, "I never had an actual boyfriend before. Are we supposed to go on a date now?"

Izuku hummed, "I suppose so," Izuku said with little confusion given he also never had a girlfriend. Both of them noticed their confusion, "I guess we're both just idiots in love." Both teens began to laugh at their confusion, "But in all honesty, once I'm out of here, let's go somewhere alone."

Setsuna hummed in agreement, "Yeah, I can't wait for us to go on a date." She hugged Izuku and pressed his arm against her chest, "Perhaps, I can give you a preview of the future you're going to have with me." She whispered seductively into his ear making steam come from his ears.

Setsuna giggled and kissed his cheek, "You know, this is one of the many reasons why I love you so much." She grabbed his cheeks and began to squash them, "I just love your innocent nature."

Izuku laughed and removed her hands from his face, "I guess my lack of experience with girls gave me my innocent nature." She then returned to pinching his cheeks making the boy huff in amusement, "Can I know why are you pinching my cheeks like that?"

Setsuna laughed, "I can't help it." She began to giggle, "Your cheeks are very pinchable. They're very chubby, and it's really satisfying to pinch you. This is fun." Izuku smiled at the girl's happiness before he decided to do something. The boy grabbed her cheeks and began to pinch them making the girl ask him, "Hey, what are you doing? Is this some kind of retaliation against me?"

Izuku shook his head, "No, but you're so cute that I can't help, but pinch your cheeks." The girl puffed her cheeks making the boy let go and she crossed her arms looking away.

Izuku hugged her from behind, "Are you sad now?"

Setsuna shook her head, "Nah, I'm just playing hard to get." She looked toward the door and asked Izuku, "So should we let them in or not? They have been spying on us for a while now."

Izuku nodded. Setsuna yelled, "Come in, you numbskulls." The two teens didn't receive an answer but Setsuna added, "I had my ear on you the moment you left the room, I know you've been spying on us." She stopped only to add, "And I know that you planned to make Kinoko drug Izuchan, so you can bury him alive, Itsuka." Setsuna finished making Izuku's skin crawl with fear.

The rest of their friends entered with Itsuka leading them, "I wasn't planning to bury him alive. I was only planning to make him see how amazing you are, so he can change his mind."

Tetsu added, "By using him as a training dumb to practice your Karate moves on him." Itsuka glared at the boy who shrugged, "Right. I totally believe you." Kinoko merely laughed on the side.

Tetsu shook his head, "Well anyway," he looked at the newly formed couple, "I'm happy both of you are together now. I hope you have a wonderful time and remain through the thick and thin."

Kinoko nodded, "I'm happy for both of you." The girl went and hugged them, "You both deserve to be happy." The girl looked at Itsuka and ushered her to come and congratulate the couple.

Kendo sighed, "Just for the record, I wasn't planning to hurt you," she said to Izuku, "But I hope you both have a fruitful relationship full of love and happiness." She then hugged them.

Setsuna said, "Thanks, guys." She looked at Kendo, "I hope you and Tetsu have a happy time too." She then looked at Kinoko, "Just wait, mushroom fairy. Your dark prince charming will eventually come and ask you out." Setsuna laughed at the blush emerging on Kinoko's face.

Tetsu hummed in agreement, "Yeah, I'm sure Kuroiro will come and ask you out sooner or later."

Kinoko ran outside the room, "Shut up. We're just friends. there's nothing between us."

Izuku looked at Tokage and asked her, "Is that what they call denial?" the green-haired girl nodded.

Kendo laughed a bit, "Kinoko is seriously shy." She played with her ponytail, "Then again… she did tell us, she was bullied in school because of her quirk, so maybe she can't believe someone likes her." Everyone agreed.

Izuku said, "Should we help her? Maybe set up a date between her and Kuroiro." Everyone looked at him weirded out by his suggestion, "Did I say something wrong?"

Tetsu shrugged, "Not really, but we didn't expect you of all people to suggest this."

Izuku replied, "My mom watches a lot of teen romances, so I kinda got addicted to them back in middle school because they were the closest thing to a love life that I had back then."

The three teens burst into laughter saying that Izuku was hilarious. Setsuna wiped a tear from her eye, "Okay, but in any case, no, let them act naturally. We shouldn't interfere."

Izuku hummed as Kendo said, "Well, I'm going to leave now, but I'll come back later with Tetsu."

Tetsu stared at her, "But where are we going? We don't have any plans for today." The orange-haired girl grabbed him and took him outside the room, "Wait! Where are you taking me, Itsu?"

The girl's voice could be heard saying, "I'll explain on the way. Now just walk with me."

Izuku and Setsuna looked at them before shrugging. The two began to talk with each other planning their first date. They were happy to throw ideas here and there before they finished ironing out their plans from when Izuku left the hospital to go on their first date.

However, when the two teens were planning their date, Izuku's mind was somewhere else. He was thinking about whether he should tell Setsuna about OFA or not. It was a hard decision. On one hand, she was his girlfriend and he knew she was trustworthy to keep this a secret, but on the other, he didn't want to bring her into the world of OFA. AFO was out there. he could prove to be a threat to her life if she knew about OFA…

…but the moment they became a couple, she forever had a target painted on her back. Izuku knew for All Might that AFO doesn't play by the unspoken rule heroes and villains had; no going after families. This was most evident when he killed the husband of the seventh user of OFA.

Izuku cared for her, so he didn't want her to be in danger. He can't back up now after he told her how he truly felt about her. Not only that would be extremely cruel, but this might ruin their friendship and he'd rather face AFO head-on than ruin his friendship with her. At the same time, he didn't want her to be attacked by villains due to their relationship.

Having her caught off guard wasn't an option. He also couldn't just coddle her. She was her person. This would only make her feel suffocated. She already told him how her mother always treats her like a little girl who is always getting into trouble and who can't take care of herself…

This leaves him with the most logical option to take right now…

…which is to tell her about OFA and its history so she can have an idea about what she's going into.

The thing stopping him was All Might. The man told him he couldn't tell anyone about OFA. He told him he needed to keep the knowledge about his quirk to a bare minimum. And he was right. If people knew he had the transferable quirk of All Might, the sky would be the limit regarding what they'd do to get their hands on the quirk.

It was a hard decision to take, but finally, he decided the right thing to do was to tell Setsuna. It was better for her to know now rather than down the line.

Izuku looked at Tokage, "Setchan, I need to tell you something important about me." He put his bandaged hands on hers, "And I hope you'll listen to the end."

The girl smiled, "I'm all ears, Izuchan. Whatever you tell me, I'll be listening and offering my help."

Izuku was about to speak when he heard the door being knocked on. Both teens looked and saw the emaciated form of All Might standing in the hallway. Izuku quickly spoke, "Yagi-sensei, what are you doing here? I thought you had work back at Might Tower."

Toshinori shook his head, "Nonsense, young Midoriya. I came here to check on you after I heard you were severely injured during your fight against Muscular." The man saw his arms and frowned, "I'm sorry that you were put in this situation, to begin with in the first place. Are you better?"

Izuku smiled, "Yes, I'm better. I heard the doctors saying that Recovery Girl will come in a couple of hours to heal me permanently, though I'm sure she's going to give me an earful."

Toshinori laughed, "I imagine so, but her heart is in the right place and that's what counts in the end." Izuku and Setsuna nodded in agreement before the man said, "It seemed you were about to tell something to young Tokage. I hope I didn't interrupt your conversation."

Izuku shook his head, "No, you came at the perfect timing." He looked at Setsuna, "Setchan, can you please leave the room for a bit? I promise I'll tell you what I was about to say after I talk about something important with Mr. Yagi."

Setsuna seemed skeptical, but Izuku added, "Don't worry. It's nothing that you won't know." He smiled at her, "Trust me on this, sweetie. I'm going to tell you right after I finish my talk with him."

The girl nodded and left the room leaving All Might and his successor in the room.

All Might looked at Izuku with a cheeky smile, "Sweetie? Don't tell me that you're now a claimed man." The hero laughed at the boy's blush.

Izuku chuckled as he scratched his cheek, "Yeah, I am. Setchan and I confessed our feelings for each other just a couple of hours ago. We were actually planning for our first date before you came."

All Might chuckled, "I'm happy for you, young Midoriya. You deserve happiness." He looked outside the room, "And I'm sure that young Tokage is a wonderful young lady who will make you happy, but you also have to keep her happy. A relationship works both ways."

"I know that," Izuku said with a small grin, "but since you're here, I need to discuss something important with you." The hero listened carefully since Izuku seemed serious, "I want to tell her about OFA and AFO."

All Might's face dropped, "Young Midoriya, I understand you trust her, but telling her this might put the secret of OFA in jeopardy and might even put her life in danger."

Izuku replied, "I know, but this is a case of 'I'd be damned if I do, and I'd be damned if I don't', so whatever I do, I'll be putting her life in danger."

Izuku explained, "All Might, Setchan is now my girlfriend, and I'm sure that AFO already knows that. I don't want her to be caught off-guard if she's attacked one day." All Might's mind took him back to Nana's husband, "Plus, don't you think I deserve to have my own circle of people who I trust like you with Recovery Girl, Principal Nezu, and Detective Tsukauchi?"

All Might bit his lip and thought about it. His student was right. The girl was in danger either way. Plus, he was right about having his circle of confidants who can help him in harsh times, but the more the secret is spread, the higher the possibility it will be revealed.

Finally, the blond hero sighed, "Young Midoriya, you do know the dangers of her entering the world of OFA, right?" Izuku nodded, "Are you sure she can handle it?"

"That's why I want to tell her. I want to give her a chance to retreat if she feels she can't handle it," Izuku admitted. He looked at the ground and whispered, "I'd rather see her leaving me than see her in a coffin." The blond hero smiled at the young boy and how he held his heart on his sleeve.

"Alright, you win." Izuku was surprised that it didn't take too much convincing so the hero said, "Well, it's your quirk at the end of the day, young Midoriya. You took OFA to the next level. It's yours now. I just wanted to make sure that you know what you're doing."

Izuku yelled, "Setchan, you can enter the room now." It took a few seconds for the girl to enter the room, look at both men and say, "Alright, so what do you want to tell me?"

All Might said, "Young lady, remember what you say in this room is not to be revealed to other people." Setsuna was confused and her confusion increased when smoke began to emit from the shriveled form of All Might, "Don't worry this is natural." The man told her.

"Okay, this is getting odd. What is go…" The girl's words died in her throat when she saw the twig form of Toshinori Yagi inflate to become the muscle form of All Might right in front of her.

"I AM HERE" the blond hero whispered loudly hoping not to attract attention. He reverted to his normal form, "Young Tokage, I hope this doesn't make it outside this room. It is a very…" The hero noticed that the girl was fixed on her spot, "Young Tokage?"

The man walked up to her and waved his hand in front of her face making the girl fall only to be caught by the man, "I think this was too much for her." Izuku nodded.

It took a couple of minutes before she woke up screaming, "Oh my god, how couldn't I have noticed it before?" she said looking at the small Might.

The blond hero shrugged, "I'm good at covering my tracks."

Setsuna nodded before looking at Izuku, "Is that what you wanted to tell me?" the boy waved his hand in a manner that told her there was more making her say, "What is the full story?"

Izuku looked at All Might and nodded. the hero began talking, "Young Tokage, do you know what my quirk is?" the girl quirked an eyebrow in confusion wondering what this had to do with anything before shaking her head making All Might continue talking, "Well, you see my quirk is special…" from there All Might told her about OFA and how it was formed. He also told her about AFO and the danger he represents to the world with the girl listening to every word he was saying. He also showed her his wound telling her how his time as a hero was reduced to a mere 2 hours nowadays.

At the end, the girl messaged her forehead, "This is a lot of information to take in."

"Okay, I get that your quirk is transferable, but what does this have to do with anything?" Setsuna asked, but All Might smiled and looked in Izuku's direction making the girl think for a bit before her eyes widened in realization, "You gave it to Izuchan. That's why he didn't know how to use his quirk at the entrance exam." All Might nodded.

Setsuna looked at Izuku, "So, that's what you were planning to tell me?" the boy nodded, "I thought it was something more important actually. you made it seem like a big deal."

Izuku asked her, "Aren't angry that I lied to you about my quirk?"

The girl walked to him and flicked him on the forehead, "Of course not," she hugged him and put her head on his, "Izuchan, I don't care if All Might gave his quirk or if you were quirkless and entered the hero course. What I care about is you as a person. Nothing else matters."

Izuku had tears in his eyes, "Thank you, Setchan. That really means a lot."

All Might coughed, "There's also another reason why we talked to you." Setsuna looked at him, "We needed you to know what you're walking into once you became young Midoriya's significant other. AFO is a dangerous man. He doesn't play by the rules. Are you sure you want to continue in this relationship knowing the dangers of it?"

Setsuna chuckled, "Yagi-sensei, I'm a hero." The girl smirked, "Tell me, when my life wasn't going to be in danger?" both Izuku and All Might smiled, but Setsuna asked, "Wait. You said that OFA gives the user enhanced strength," All Might nodded, "But what about the whips?"

Izuku then explained, "Turns out, OFA doesn't only store strength, but also the quirk factors of the previous users, so I'm going to get 6 different quirks other than OFA with Blackwhip being one of them."

Setsuna blinked, "Dude, that's so O.P."

Izuku laughed a little, "I think it kinda is, so we're cool."

Setsuna giggled, "As cool as a cucumber." She then ruffled his hair making them both laugh.

All Might then remembered something, "Young Midoriya, I found info about the last two quirks."

"Really?" Izuku asked and even Setsuna was interested, "What are the last two quirks?"

All Might's smile slipped for a moment, "Well, I didn't find everything about them, but I'll tell you what I found about the 2nd's and 3rd's quirks." All Might looked at a small paper he had, "It took me entering the government's historical archive from back then in the quirk dark ages to find this info. The first is the third's quirk whose name was Bruce. It's called 'Fa Jin' and it allows the user to store kinetic energy in their body and release it. It's pretty cool, huh?" The man smiled seeing stars in his successor's eyes, "The second user is named Kudo. I managed to find the name of his quirk 'Transmission', but other than that there was no description of how it was used."

Izuku sighed, "Thanks, All Might. Any information is good information. Plus, I'm bound to find out what it can do sooner or later so there's no need to panic about it."

Setsuna added, "Plus, Izu is a quirk nerd so he'll be able to figure it out eventually."

The hero smiled and stood up, "Excuse me, I know have to go to meet up with other heroes." The two students looked at him, "As we speak, a raid is being arranged to find the villains. Thanks to your classmates and the captured villains, we were able to find two bases for the villains. We're going to attack them tonight at midnight." Both students nodded.

The man exited the room leaving the two teens alone until Setsuna, "So, All Might's successor, huh?" the boy chuckled a little, "You have to tell how that happened!" the boy nodded and told her how he met All Might and how he was declared to be the man's successor.


A couple of hours later, Recovery Girl was finishing her work in healing Izuku. She was making her routine check after giving him his last healing session. Of course, she gave him an earful about his recklessness informing him that his body isn't made from tungsten.

After that, Izuku was told to rest because of the effect of Recovery Girl's quirk. When he was in his room chatting with Setsuna, the door of his room opened, and students from both 1-A and 1-B entered through it.

Bondo first spoke, "Midoriya-san, thank heavens you're alright. You looked horrible…" he was elbowed by Honenuki telling him to be quiet.

Ibara said, "What he meant is that we're all happy that you're healthy again, Midoriya."

Izuku hummed, "Thank you guys. It really means a lot you came to visit me, but I'm mostly fine now. Just need to rest a bit after Recovery Girl healed me."

The students nodded, but Kaminari said, "Dude, did you say the news? They're hounding the school day in and day out because of what happened." Yui chimed in, "It's even worse than the coverage of the USJ."

Mineta said, "Come on, guys. Don't dampen the mood." He walked to Izuku and handed him a melon, "We brought this for you. Both classes chimed in. I hope you like it."

Tokoyami stepped forward and bowed, "I'm sorry for the trouble I caused you and everyone back at camp, Midoriya." Izuku quickly waved his hand telling him there was no need for that.

Izuku then asked, "Is everyone okay? Or was someone affected by the gas released from the villains?" The boy hoped that his attacks from the beginning managed to lessen the effect of the gas.

Manga spoke, "Well, the only person who was affected heavily was Jiro, but she woke up yesterday and is now at her house, so no worries about that. The rest of us are here."

Todoroki added, "Aside from Kamakiri, everyone is here from both classes."

Mina yelped in shock, "Todoroki, don't say it like that."

Izuku meanwhile remembered what All Might once told him that he couldn't save or reach everyone, but the problem was that his quirk, or at least a part of it was made from that. If he was only a little bit faster, he might have been able to save Kamakiri from being kidnapped.

Izuku sighed, "I guess we'll have to wait for the professionals to go and save him then."

All the students nodded as Setsuna grabbed Izuku's hand and caressed seeing the discomfort on his face until someone said, "What if we go and save him?"

The students looked at Kirishima with a dumbfounded expression, "Huh? What are you talking about?" Iida asked making his signature hand-chops.

"Midoriya," Kirishima started, "I want to help you and your class to rescue your classmate from the villains. I think I know a way to manage to locate him."

He looked at Momo, "Back when the officers were interrogating us about what happened in the forest, I remember that Yaoyorozu told the officers that she made a tracking device that she asked the old man to attach to one of the Nomus the villains had with them."

Momo took a step back, "Yes, I did that, but what does this have to do with anything?"

Todoroki replied, "Yaoyorozu if you make for us a remote like the one you gave to the police, we will go and save Kamakiri from the villain's hand and make the raid easier for the heroes."

Momo shook her head, "No… this could go wrong fast. What will happen if we were caught?" she clenched her hands, "Plus, All Might told me he's going to handle this! we can't risk it."

Back at the police station, Momo was waiting for her turn to give her testimony when the detective from back from the USJ and All Might entered. The girl politely greeted him, "Hello, sirs."

All Might smiled, "It's nice to see that you're fine, young Yaoyorozu. I hope that you weren't injured during the attack on the camp." The young girl responded by shaking her head making the blond hero sigh in relief, "Well, that's good to know."

The girl smiled, "Thank you, All Might." Her face turned serious, "Now, I have a couple of things to tell you about what happened that night, and something I must give you."

Tsukauchi nodded, "A recap of what happened the day from your perspective would be helpful."

Momo began to tell what happened, "It was normal at first. I entered the forest with Jiro back to do the bravery challenge, but all of a sudden, a thick purple smoke began to fill the place. I was able to hold my breath before I inhaled it, but Jiro wasn't so lucky. A sudden burst of wind pushed the gas away multiple times which gave me time to make gas masks. After that, I began to try and distribute some of those gas masks to the students."

All Might hummed, "That helped a lot of students in the long run. Carry on."

The girl nodded, "I found Awase of class 1-B running around the place. He said his partner separated from him when the chaos started so I gave him a mask and asked him to help. Not long after that, I found a couple of 1-B students and handed them masks to help them breathe easier. After a short while, Awase and I went to leave the forest, but it wasn't easy. At one point, we stumbled across a villain who looked like he was made from skin patches, but we stayed hidden away from his sight. After we avoided the patched villain, we continued our way to escape the forest and go to the WWP Cats Cabin where it's safe."

Tsukauchi wrote everything down, "And what happened after that?"

"We came out of the forest and saw Pixiebob defeating a villain and Gran Torino tying up 3 villains that he just defeated. The heroes told us to go to the cabin because they wanted to save one of the students and Ragdoll from a Nomu, but then I had an idea." Momo said as she made a small tracker from her hand, "I made a tracker and gave it to Gran Torino telling him to stick to the Nomu, so we would be able to track the monster down and find where the villains are hiding."

The detective smiled, "That's quite the thinking, young Yaoyorozu. Do you have a way to help us track down the signal of the tracker you used?"

Momo nodded, "Yes," Momo made a remote with a blinking signal on it, "This remote should be able to help you reach the single." She rubbed her shoulder, "I hope it can make your mission easier to find Kamakiri and bring him back home."

All Might smiled, "Rest assured, young Yaoyorozu. You just made our job easier." He took the remote from her, "Using this, I will make the villains pay for their actions. You have nothing to fear young lady."

The detective then escorted Momo outside the room to take her to her parents, while All Might went to talk with Aizawa and Vlad King about what they saw that night.

The blond hero bumped into someone. He was about to apologize until he saw who. The man quickly stiffened, "Sensei, it's nice to see you again."

Gran snorted, "Are you still afraid of me? I thought we got over this." the old man laughed a little before saying, "Now back to business, did you the Yaoyorozu girl give something to help us find those villains? I remember distinctly that she gave me a tracker and put it on the Nomu."

All Might smiled, "Yes, she gave me a remote that is receiving a signal from the tracker."

Gran nodded, "That's good. We're getting closer to arresting those nutcases." He walked away from his student, "Oh, yeah. Get ready, because I have a gut feeling that something big is going to happen during this raid, so don't let your guard down."

All Might nodded and went his way, but neither man knew that someone was listening to their conversation. Out of a corner, Kirishima came out with a thoughtful look on his face.

Kirishima looked at Momo, "Look, I know All Might will handle this, but we can help." He looked at his classmates, "I know this sounds crazy, but it can work and make the hero's jobs easier."

Iida interjected, "What you can't be serious, can you? This will be extremely dangerous!" the boy remembered the scolding he got from Manual. "If we do that, we'll not be making the hero's job easier, we'll be making it harder." Iida sighed, "Look, I understand where you're coming from. You feel you need to step in and do what is right. You're angry that someone was kidnapped, but if you go through it and drag other people with you, you might put everyone's life at harm." He remembered what he did against Stain.

Kirishima retorted, "I know you're, but I can't just stand down."

Tetsu said, "Look, Kirishima. I feel you. My classmate was kidnapped, but we need to think clearly. We can't just act left and right. If we go there and get caught, there's no telling what could happen." Tetsu clenched his fist, "I know this isn't manly, but acting like this isn't any better."

Reiko chimed in, "I think the best course of action is to leave this to the professionals."

Yui asked, "Furthermore, why are so invested in this rescue mission? He isn't even in your classroom." The girl grabbed Kaibara's arm, "Is it about what that fire villain said before he disappeared? You can't let his taunting get to you, Kirishima."

Monoma looked at her, "Wait! Is this what this whole thing is about?" he arrived last and saw how the villain melted away taunting them that they lost. he looked at Todoroki, "Is that why you are joining him? Todoroki, I understand the villain got under your skin, but be more logical…"

Todoroki remembered what happened in the remedial classes after Aizawa went out to help the students and bring them to safety.

The students couldn't believe this. the camp was under attack… they were told no one other than the teachers knew where they were planning to go, so how did the villains find out about this place?

Todoroki stood up and walked to the door before Vlad grabbed him and yanked him back, "Hold up, where do you think you're going, Todoroki? Get back in your seat."

Shoto looked at him, "You can't be serious right now. My classmates are in danger right now." He looked outside the window at the burning forest, "You can't expect me to sit here and wait."

Vlad sighed, "Your heart is in the right place, but you can't let your emotions control in these types of situations. Going out there will put you in trouble and make our job harder to protect you."

Shoto looked at Vlad and sighed sitting down, "I'm sorry. You're right. I just got overwhelmed."

Vlad nodded, but he felt a sudden increase in heat for a moment causing him to make a wall of blood protecting the students from a sudden blaze of blue fire that burst through the door.

He looked and saw a man made from patches of skin standing there, "I'm sorry that I made such a rude entrance, but hey, I'm sure that you can always add ambushes to today's lesson. Am I right?"

Vlad quickly made a blood hammer and slammed it into the villain's gut. He grabbed the villain by the head and threw him into a wall before capturing him in a blood prison, "What are you doing here?"

The villain laughed, "Nothing much. I was just taking a walk and decided to drop in." he then looked at Shoto and smiled, "Tell me, how's life been for you, Shoto Todoroki?"

Shoto was weirded out. He never saw this man in his entire life. Moments later, the man burnt through Vlad's prison, but Aizawa came through and took him down.

The villain began to melt, but he looked at Shoto, "You lose."

A couple of seconds later, Gran Torino returned to the cabin and told them Kamakiri was kidnapped. this caused a huge uproar, but Todoroki wondered if the last thing the villain said was directed at him or everyone in general.

Shoto shook his head, "It isn't about that, but I owe him a favor and I'm planning to repay." He looked at everyone, "Plus, you all can't tell me that you aren't angry at what happened in the camp."

There was silence for a moment, but Setsuna broke it, "I understand how you feel, but going guns blazing will make this even trickier than it is."

Kirishima yelled in frustration, "Don't you think I know that?" all the students panicked a little.

Ibara whispered, "Be quiet. This is a hospital." She looked outside the room nervously before sighing, "And we aren't exactly discussing the weather right now."

Kirishima calmed down, "I know this sounds crazy, but I don't think I can live with myself I don't act now. We have a chance to save our friend from the villains." He looked at Momo, "What do you think, Yaoyorozu?" the girl looked away making the boy say, "Just think about it."

He then looked at Izuku, "What do you say, Midoriya? Do you want to join us? To save Kamakiri?"

Izuku thought about it for a moment. It seemed tempting. He was there when Kamakiri was kidnapped right in front of his eyes. It would be a good way to help him get some sleep at night…

…but he remembered Natvie back when he fought the hero killer, it made his skin crawl. They aren't invincible. He already saw the consequences of something going wrong during a rescue. If he agrees and something goes wrong, anything can happen.

If Native hadn't died during the Hosu incident, Izuku would have agreed no questions asked… but he saw what happens when someone does something unprepared. Looking back at it, he and Kamakiri won on the skin of their teeth. Even back then, Kamakiri told him he wasn't sure how they won. They aren't professionals. Even if they try to rescue him without fighting, something wrong could happen and there's no coming back from there…

On the other hand, his heroic side was yelling at him to go. He was there was the mantis-looking boy was kidnapped. It told him he was responsible for saving him. he told what All Might would think if he knew Izuku left someone in need.

…but then he remembered I-Island. This was a victory for them, but there wasn't supposed to be a fight between them and the villains. The fight came to their front door and they had to fight and protect themselves. Izuku wasn't planning on fighting Wolfram. The victory itself was a fluke because he managed to snatch the quirk amplifier from Wolfram. If he didn't, well…

…it's better not to think about what might have happened before All Might could've arrived.

And don't get him started on the training camp, his fight against that Muscular was truly like Shiozaki would describe it; a miracle from the lord himself. Izuku wasn't a religious person himself, but he was sure that some divine entity intervened because there was no way in flipping hell, he should have been able to win against the crazed killer.

And this mission, anything could happen. He couldn't say yes. He knew the outcome of inexperienced hands taking matters into their own hands, even if it wasn't his fault.

Then there was something that made his skin crawl, AFO might be there. if they went and fell into his hands… the situation would become as ten times as hard as it already is. the thought of his friends falling inside AFO's hands and being turned into Nomus made him feel horrible, but he couldn't help, but feel bad imagining that Kamakiri was already in the villain's hands.

The moral conflict was leaving his soul tortured.

Izuku looked at the ground, "I don't know. There are too many variables to take into consideration." He looked at Kirishima and Shoto, "I simply can't say I can go with you, but at the same time, I'm sure feeling like I should go there to help Kamakiri out."

Kendo interjected, "Absolutely not. Midoriya, you destroyed your arms fighting Muscular. Going on an adventure of this size might hamper whatever progress the doctors made in salvaging your hands." She grabbed his shoulder, "You aren't going anywhere. Not if I can help it."

Shoda hummed, "Midoriya-san, please think about yourself. Your health is important."

The students of class 1-B began to give their objections regarding Izuku's involvement until the boy said, "Kirishima, to be honest, I think the rescue mission is a bad idea. Look at it objectively, how are you going to sneak into their compound without fighting? They aren't going to open the doors with open arms for you." Izuku shook his head, "And let's say somehow we did manage to do that and freed Kamakiri, how are we going to take him without alerting the villains who are probably watching him 24/7? I think the rescue mission at its essence is built with good intentions, but sometimes even the best of intentions can lead to disastrous results if it's crafted by inexperienced hands, so no, I don't think I can go with you."

Tsu spoke, "Honestly, I don't think anyone should go. We should let the pros do their job like the other ones said." The girl added, "If we go out there and take justice into our hands, we'll be no better than the villains who attacked us that night. It is for the best to forget this conversation ever happened." The frog girl walked outside the room with a couple of 1-A students following.

Kirishima walked to Midoriya, "I won't harass you into joining us, but think about it." He whispered, "I'll be waiting for you at the entrance if you change your mind."

He walked outside the room leaving Shoto in the room who said, "I understand why you are hesitant, but for what it's worth if I feel things are getting too hot for us, I'll tell Kirishima to ditch the entire thing altogether." He then left leaving Izuku with his classmates.

Juzo said, "I suppose we should all go." One by one, they all left leaving Izuku with his circle of friends.

Kendo asked, "Midoriya, you aren't planning to go with them, are you?" the orange-haired girl was worried her friend might feel somehow responsible for Kamakiri's kidnapping.

Izuku looked at her, "No, I don't think so. I can't go for many reasons. First, I just got fresh out of the hospital and I'm not keen on ending here again. Second, I don't want to make the pros' job more complicated than it already is. finally, I hope they don't go because of any mishap and we'll have another Native on our hands, but this time it will be one of them or Kamakiri."

The group of friends cringed since Izuku told them the aftermath of his fight with Stain. Setsuna knew how the hero's demise weighed heavily on the boy's conscience during his talks with Hound Dog; it took quite an effort from the hero to convince Izuku it wasn't his fault the hero died and it appears Izuku still thinks about him sometimes about this.

Setsuna patted him on the head, "I think it's for the best you don't go, Izuchan." The girl sat beside him and held his hand, "Going there might go wrong. I'm sure Yaoyorozu knows this. Todoroki and Kirishima are just feeling are little angry, but they'll see reason like the rest of us."

Kendo nodded, "Yeah. They know better than to interfere with the work of pros."

Tetsu slammed his hand on the table, "Can we stop talking about this?" Kendo slapped him upside the head making him bow in pain, "Okay, I overreacted there, but you know what I mean." The boy stood up, "Let's go and have some fun. Let's go to a mall and watch a movie. Go to an arcade and play some games. It's better than sitting here and watching the clouds."

Izuku hummed in agreement, "I guess a little outing will be nice." He looked at Setsuna and smiled, "It will be nice for us to spend some time together after everything that happened from I-Island to this horrible excuse of a camp." Kinoko gave him a thumbs-up.

Kendo put her hand on her chin, "I think I can spare some time to go and have fun." She looked at her watch, "And there's still plenty of time before we need to go back home."

Kinoko jumped up and down like an excited toddler, "Yeah, like let's have fun for once. We've been through from one sticky situation to another in a constant loop." The girl stopped and shivered, "At this point, I think we angered some god. I think we need to pay a visit to Ibara's church."

Setsuna laughed, "You're funny, shortie. I never laughed this good in a while."

Kinoko stuck her tongue out, "Can it, lizard girl. I wish I could put mushrooms in your stomach to make have horrific nightmares."

Setsuna jumped into Izuku's arms hiding her face in his chest, "My prince charming, save me from the brutal mushroom fairy."

The group of 5 began to laugh together before they left to have fun together at some arcade or mall.


Later that night, Kirishima was standing in front of the hospital with Shoto. The red-haired boy was hoping that Izuku might come. He knew if the green-haired boy joined them, they'd have an easier time saving Kamakiri. The red-haired boy felt they needed to save the boy because he was taken from under their nose, and even though he wasn't from his class, he couldn't help but feel helpless from not being able to prevent his kidnapping.

Kirishima looked at Shoto, "Do you think Midoriya is going to join us?"

The bi-colored teen stared at the entrance, "No, I don't think he will. I think he's against this, especially after what happened with Native." The teen rubbed his shoulder, "Midoriya doesn't want us to be harmed going there." he looked around and added, "Plus, if Yaoyorozu doesn't come, we can kiss our chances of going goodbye."

Kirishima nodded, "Yeah if Yaoyorozu doesn't show, there'll be no way for us to do anything."

"Good thing that I came then," Momo said as she arrived with a couple of unexpected guests, "I thought about it. I'm going to join you, but just to make sure you don't do anything stupid."

Shoto grabbed her hand, "Thank you for helping us, Yaoyorozu." The girl blushed a little, "This is a favor that we won't forget any time soon," he then looked at her companions, "But what about them? Are they planning to join us too?"

Kirishima looked at Juzo, Pony, Ibara, and Kuroiro, "I think the more the merrier. It will make our mission easier, but I thought you were against it, Juzo. What changed your mind?"

Ibara had a somewhat guilty look on her face, "I don't like this, but I can't help but feel responsible for Kamakiri's capture that night. I was with him, so I'm going to help."

Juzo sighed looking at his two classmates, "Those three heard you telling Midoriya you'll be waiting for you here and decided to join your little escapade, so I came with them to make sure they don't cause trouble. I'm still against this, but what can I do at this point? Might as well walk through it."

Kuroiro added, "I saw how dead serious you are about going, so I decided to help you because I have the skills to sneak in unnoticed by the villains. I can free him without anyone seeing."

Pony was about to speak when someone said, "So you did come here after all."

They looked and saw Iida standing there. the boy seemed angry and stiff, "Are you still going with this? don't you see the danger in this rescue mission of yours?"

Iida looked at Shoto, "And you!" Shoto stared back at him, "You of all people should know that we shouldn't do this. you saw what happened last time we acted out and made rash decisions. So why are you going to commit the same mistake again?"

Shoto replied, "Iida, calm down. if you let us explain everything, you'll see what thought about everything. We aren't acting without thinking…"

Iida cut him off, "Who will take responsibility for your actions? UA who's already under fire."

Shoto said, "Iida, we aren't planning to go guns blazing." The engine quirk user looked at him with a dumbfounded expression, "We'll try to be as discreet as possible. We aren't that dumb."

Iida clenched his fist, "Even then, what will happen if you end up injured like Midoriya was after his fight with Muscular or my brother…" he stared at the ground, "…or even worse like Native. Those results are something that no one can come from."

Kirishima tried to pacify him, "Dude, we are going to save him without fighting. We aren't that dumb. We aren't going to use our quirks. It's a covert mission." He looked at Kuroiro, "At worst, Kuroiro is the one who's going to use his quirk, but his quirk is built for missions like these."

Iida calmed down and began to calculate his losses. He knew that those 7 weren't going to back down, "In that case, I will go with you to make sure you keep your word and stay away from trouble." The group wasn't sure about this seeing how Iida was against this.

Pony said, "Iida, are you sure? I'm pretty sure 7 is fine. The more we are, the higher the chance we might get caught. Besides Yaomomo is with us to make sure nothing bad happens."

Iida shook his head, "No, I'm going with you. There's no changing my mind right now. Someone needs to keep an eye on you." The rest of the group didn't argue because they felt time was being wasted by standing there and talking among each other

Momo then took out the signal tracker, "The signal from the device is coming from somewhere in Yokohama City in Kanagawa district specifically Kamino Ward." She looked at her watch, "If we move to the train station now, we'll be able to reach the place in about two hours."

The group of 8 nodded their heads and began to move toward their destination. They had no idea what they were up against. They had no idea how they were going to pull this rescue off. They had no clue how realistic this escapade of theirs was, but the 7 students could only hope for the best…

…at this point, they were no way for them to turn back anyway.


With the pros, multiple heroes were waiting for the raid to begin. Heroes from all parts of Japan were participating in this raid, but what stood out was that a couple of heroes from the top ten were there. All Might, Edgeshot, Yoroi Musha, and Endeavour were there. other heroes like the number 4 hero Best Jeanist were waiting for the raid to begin.

Tsukauchi was there. the detective looked at the heroes, "Alright then since we're here. Let's all discuss strategy."

The heroes looked at him, but Endeavour grunted, "Remind me why am I cleaning UA's mess?"

The number four hero retorted, "Come on, be a team player. You're a graduate from there, aren't you?"

Tsukauchi said, "Calm down, Endeavor, and try to focus on the bigger here." The flame hero grunted, "The entirety of hero society is hanging on the balance here. If we can't manage to pull this off, we'll be in deep trouble."

Yoroi Musha asked, "Mr. detective, do you have any idea why they might abduct my pupil?"

The detective shook his head, "Sadly, no. Although Kamakiri is rough around the edges from what his friends said, he doesn't seem like a person who the villains might be interested in."

The heroes were dismayed, but Tiger said, "I don't care why they took him. all I care about is saving him from there. those monsters attacked the camp, tried to kidnap my teammate, and dared to harm the students… they and I have a long list of paybacks."

Tsukauchi began explaining the raid, "According to the tracking device, there are two places where the signal appeared from, so this means there are multiple hideouts for the villains. However, we managed to find the location of the abducted student through our investigations. So that's where most of our forces will be while the rest will attack the other site."

As the detective was going over his plan, All Might looked at his teacher and said, "Do you think we'll find him there? Do you think he's the one behind this?"

Gran Torino replied, "I bet my retirement check on it. This person doesn't know when to give up and take a hike, so you'll need to put your guard up, Toshinori."

The blond hero smiled, "Don't worry. I'm ready for him. I'll be able to take him down this time again."

Tsukauchi then yelled, "We're moving against the clock people so get ready." The heroes and police officers then began to move to their assigned locations to retrieve the kidnapped boy and stop the villains.


Back with the rescue team, Momo and the rest came out of a thrift shop wearing different clothes hoping to blend in with the locals. Kuroiro asked, "Was this really necessary?" he was the only one who didn't buy anything since it would interfere with his powers.

Momo replied, "Yes, of course. It will help us disappear into the crowd."

Pony then poked Shihai, "Look at that. Isn't that our teachers? Are they making an interview?"

The teens looked and saw their teachers, but Kirishima said, "There's no time to waste. We have to find where they are keeping Kamakiri, so let's get the move on."


With Izuku's group, the teens were at an arcade when they saw their teachers appear on air.


With the villains, Tomura looked at Kamakiri's knocked-out body. The mantis-looking boy began to stir making Tomura smile.


Author's notes:

Welcome back to a new chapter of my story. This chapter focused on talks inside the hospital from congratulations to the new couple, Izuku telling Setsuna about OFA, and Kirishima trying to convince Izuku to join his team; by the way, if you don't like that Kirishima was the one who put the idea up front, I believe he's an ideology would make him do this because he will think it's unmanly to leave a classmate behind and probably see it as a way to make it up for 1-B after the whole misunderstanding he caused. Some will say Tetsu will be the one, but I see Kendo will knock out the idea from his head before he can even think it through, so I had to stick with Kirishima. The chapter also focused on the formation of the rescue teams, but don't worry Izuku will play a role in the rescue of Kamakiri. Now here is the question; I want you to tell me how you imagine the rescue mission with Ibara, Kuroiro, Pony, and Juzo will go, and the best idea will be written. Also, I want you to give your idea of how you imagine Izuku and Setsuna's first date will be, the best idea will be presented. The next chapter will focus on the Kamino Ward event.

As always please take care of yourselves, write your opinion about the current chapter in the reviews, and tell me how I can make the story better.

And finally, I hope you all enjoy reading my work, and see you next time with a brand new chapter.
