Izuku, Tsuyu, and Minoru looked over their work from the shore of the Shipwreck Zone. The aquatic villains were now stuck in a pile of themselves and Minoru's hairballs.

"Those guys aren't going anywhere. It takes a good twenty-four hours for my spheres to lose adhesion, and by that time Iida should be back with more of the teachers." Minoru said.

"This is everyone I saw down in the water. And anyone I might have missed was likely caught up in Midoriya's giant water fountain." Tsuyu noted.

"Looks like I'm starting to master more of my Quirk. That was a good 15% of my full strength. Before, I could only muster up 10%. Not to mention what just happened earlier." Izuku noted.

"That was pretty bizarre-kero." Tsuyu admitted. "Though I guess your Quirk adapted to the situation to provide a smokescreen for us."

Izuku realized that his original Reactive Adaptation Quirk provided the perfect cover story; he could just pass off any of One For All's piggybacked Quirks as unique adaptations he could utilize. He just hoped there wouldn't be any more surprises thrown his way until after the crisis had been averted.

"I know I wasn't showing it, but I was nervous about all those villains," Tsuyu admitted. "Mineta was shaking like a leaf, and I saw your fist shaking when observing those guys."

"Yeah, I was just about ready to wet myself!" Minoru agreed. "So what now? Maybe we should find our way to the exit. See if we can't find the villain who's jamming the alarms."

"It would be a good idea to prioritize getting help. We should also deal with that mist villain at some point." Izuku pointed out. "He was able to spread his body out quite a distance, so if he's able to reach Iida it'll be harder to find help. Right now though, his attention should be on Thirteen, Agent of J, and those members of our class he didn't send out randomly. We should also try to avoid the center, where all the real action is."

"Most of those villains are likely all cleaned up. Between Aizawa-Sensei, Serpenshia-Sensei, and Endo Hound, I'd be surprised if they aren't dealing with the ringleader right about now. That creepy guy with all the severed hands on his costume." Tsuyu noted.

Izuku nodded. "Aizawa-Sensei on his own would be at a disadvantage in numbers. His Quirk needs constant eye contact to function. One blink and his opponent can get the drop on him, so he's vulnerable to being worn down in a crowd. But Serpenshia and Endo Hound have no such weakness."

"Most of those villains were spread out to attack our classmates, though. While there might be enough in the center to handle one of those three on their own, they're fighting together." Minoru chimed in.

Izuku frowned. "The one that really worries me is that giant monster that was brought in. The leader, Shigaraki, suggested it was being saved for All-Might. But with the other villains being used to lure him here, what's to stop him from unleashing it early if they no longer have value as a lure?"

Tsuyu and Minoru looked at each other worriedly, realizing that Izuku had a definitive point.

"Wow, no mercy for these guys." Ben whistled as he saw the frozen wasteland Shoto had left the Landslide Zone in.

"This is why the Hero Course system has been refined, to keep out those who are untrained in the use of their Quirks or are unable to handle an Object of Power," Shoto said before glaring at the trapped villains. "But rather than choose a more suitable path, you let yourselves be drawn in by the allure of a villain's life."

"Easy on the edge, pal. You aren't as charming as Prince Zuko." Ben snarked as he made sure all the villains were defeated.

Shoto sighed. "I thought this was a case of simply bringing in a force of elite villains to overwhelm All-Might in order to kill him, but these low-level scum aren't even a match for a UA first-year. The one who called himself Shigaraki... He must have a different plan in mind. We need more information."

Shoto then turned to see that Ben was already ahead of him by confronting one terrified villain, creating liquid metal he then molded into a solid razor.

"You wanna know the fun part about being an Elementalist? I have a million gruesome ways to get people to talk." He smirked. "So be a good guy and tell us what your boss has planned to kill All-Might."

"You'd best do as he says. Even if he decides not to torture you, your cells will slowly die as long as you remain frozen like that." Shoto added. "You'll soon succumb to frostbite and hypothermia. And believe me...I'd prefer that not happen. I'd like to avoid unnecessary cruelty."

"I'll talk! I'll talk!" The villain pleaded.

"Listen up! None of these villains are elite threats. They're just high school dropouts and street-level punks recruited as fodder. That large black monster they came with is the one who's supposed to kill All-Might." Ben called out over the earpieces.

Denki heard that loud and clear and shocked one of the villains attacking him in the Mountain Zone. Sure enough, the big guy proved more easy to take out than his size would suggest.

"So we just gotta avoid the ringleaders in the center, right? So long as we do that, we should come out of this alive."

Momo was disabling most of the villains with capture tools such as bolas and nets, while Kyouka plugged her earlobes into various speakers along her costume to unleash a stunning sound wave from her own heartbeat, paralyzing several more villains.

"Why bother recruiting from the gutter?" Kyouka asked. "They have a guy with a Warping Quirk, wouldn't it be more efficient to break into Tartarus for stronger villains?"

"Tartarus has walls made of Telekill Alloy. It's possible his Quirk isn't strong enough to bypass it." Momo pointed out.

Telekill was a new element that the SCP Foundation had discovered and classified as Item-148. It had the unique property of suppressing Quirks and other anomalous properties, making it ideal for prisons and restraints, which the entire world capitalized on to restrain dangerous criminals or anomalies.

"Kaminari! I'm going to try something!" Momo said as she undid magnetic clamps on the back of her costume, creating a large insulating blanket for her and Kyouka. "Go wild!"

"Thanks, Yaomomo!" Denki smirked as he saw what the girls were doing as he charged up electricity and turned to the villains, who now realized what he was about to do.

"The thing about my Quirk is, it makes me a human taser. But I can only control where the electricity comes from, not where it goes. If I went all out, I might accidentally hit my classmates. But it still works like normal electricity, so things like rubber or other insulators are immune. And from what I'm seeing...None of you creeps even have wood for an armor coating!"

The entire group was completely paralyzed as the electrical energy hit them at full charge. Kyouka smirked as she peeked out from under the blanket.

"They didn't even have rubber soles on their boots. Bunch of edgelords thinking it was cool to have metal-studded ones."

"You know the old saying; work smarter, not harder." Momo giggled.

Due to the use of so much electricity, Denki had fried his brain and was walking back and forth while jutting out double thumbs-up, grinning like a dummy as Kyouka couldn't help but burst out laughing at the silly sight.

Meanwhile, back in the center plaza, Aizawa, Endo Hound, and Serpenshia were cleaning up what was left of the villains in that region. Tomura was watching them with a calculating gaze before focusing his attention on Aizawa in particular.

"I need to focus on Eraserhead. By now his Quirk should be worn down enough. With him out of the enemy party, I can let the Nomu run wild on the other two."

Asahi and Serpenshia were so busy dealing with the last remaining thugs that they didn't notice until too late that Tomura was making a beeline for Aizawa.

"SHOTA, LOOK OUT!" Serpenshia shouted out to his friend.

Aizawa noticed Tomura coming and put up his arms to guard himself against whatever the villain was about to do...only for a blur to land between the two of them, making Tomura stumble back and Aizawa to stare in shock.

"Shudai?!"

Sure enough, Tsumi had jumped down to save Aizawa but her usual cheery demeanor was gone. Instead, she was snarling like a furious wild animal, with dark electricity and demonic flames burning around her body.

"What the hell are you doing crashing the server like this?!" Tomura demanded.

Tsumi's usual playfulness returned somewhat as she smirked before holding her hands to the side and stepping over to let Endo Hound pounce in before Tomura could react, breathing out her Amnestic Breath.

"Shit! Amnesia Status Effect!" Tomura cursed as he was exposed to the crimson amnesia-inducing mist, stumbling back and coughing. "W-What's going on? Why do I feel bigger?"

He tried to stand, only find part of the ground giving way. He noticed that a small pit had been created through decay.

"Wait...did my Quirk just come in?"

Nearby, Izuku, Tsuyu, and Minoru had arrived in order to see how things were going, noticed Tomura's confusion.

"Looks like a five-point contact Quirk, but he can't turn it off the way Uraraka can. And since he was afflicted with Asahi-Sensei's Quirk, I'd say it's not a natural one, and that the lack of control isn't because he can't remember how." Izuku noted before looking at Tomura's footwear. "Do those shoes look familiar to you?"

"I think they're from a brand that caters to Quirkless people. Those without Quirks have an extra toe joint, meaning normal shoes are too tight for them. So one shoe company made a particular brand of shoe designed for such people to walk around more comfortably." Minoru said. "Come to think of it, you have your own modified version of them."

"This guy seemed more dangerous than the others, but against three pros he was outmatched." Tsuyu said. "I don't think he even expected Shudai and Endo Hound to get in the way. It looked like he was making a beeline for Aizawa."

"Yeah, but Shudai looks pissed for some reason. I only ever saw her as the cute, quirky girl who hid in the vents and scared the crap out of me." Minoru noted.

"In a few seconds Shigaraki's memories are going to come back, but that will include everything he was muttering about while in a state of confusion. Which is going to leave him even more confused." Izuku noted.

Sure enough, Tomura was able to return to normal as the three heroes dealt with the last villains in the center. But in the process, he had dusted some of the severed hands, having tried to get rid of them due to disgust.

"That was stupid of me. Rushing in like some noob. I'd forgotten the genre. This isn't a turn-based RPG, this is an MMO raid." He scowled. "Of course one of the others was going to rush in to help. What was I thinking? And now I've wound up losing a few family members in the process."

Tsumi sneered. "Honestly, if killing All-Might was your main goal, you need a WAY better plan than what you threw at us."

Tomura growled, wanting to make some kind of angry retort but a part of him stopped himself, musing over the Daughter of Nedzu's words as he backed away before sighing.

"I was hoping to save our heavy hitter for the final boss, but I suppose it couldn't hurt to give him a little more XP before taking on All-Might."

Tomura gestured for the Nomu to come over and it was at that point that Izuku, Tsuyu, Minoru, Aizawa, Asahi, and Serpenshia all seemed to notice Tsumi stiffen, her eyes briefly dilating in shock and horror as her tail went straight and sweat began pouring down her neck.

Meanwhile, Kurogiri was having to face down Thirteen and Agent of J. Much like Tomura, he was having trouble due to being hit from two different angles. He was getting sucked in by Black Hole, drawing off much of his mist. And when he tried to use Warp Gate, his own Quirk, Agent of J launched some sort of distraction technique to prevent him from focusing properly.

"I have no choice but to break off. My concern should be chasing down the one that rushed out the exit. Otherwise he could attract the attention of far more than just All-Might."

He tried to rush off, only for Shouji to wrap his arms around his form. Mayumi smirked as everything was going according to plan on her end.

"I noted that you still have a physical form under all the mist. Knowing that it's a simple matter of containing you."

Kurogiri's eyes widened. "I never heard them even discuss anything before I separated them. When could they possibly have...?!"

He then noticed Shouji's earpiece and it all made sense. The villain they had hired to jam communications was only meant to jam outgoing signals, not suspecting that the heroes would provide the students with a means of keeping contact with each other long-distance.

From the multiple cameras in his lair, the man known and feared across the planet as the First Villain: Crimson Death, was observing the events at the USJ.

"Pure evil is that which cannot accept that it is evil, or that good exists. I am certainly evil and do not deny such, nor do I deny that good can exist. But my apprentice... All For One. He does not seem to understand this simple fact. From the moment Yoichi turned against him, he has been gobsmacked by the idea that anyone would deny his vision."

He turned on a monitor and contacted the person on the other end.

"How is the boy doing?"

"Not terribly, Master. The heroes were able to predict some of his schemes, even if they don't yet know how All For One intends to kill All-Might. Still, to Tomura's credit, he knows how to adapt under pressure. Right now he's using the Nomu early to counter the combined forces of Eraserhead, Endo Hound, Serpenshia, and Dr. Garaki's 'Ultimate Lifeform'."

"We shall see how All For One's little experiment handles itself. What of the gutter trash that were hired?"

"Most have been contained by the students. A few stragglers are still fighting, mostly due to being well-suited to the environments they were dropped on. But it seems the class is able to communicate thanks to short-range earpieces that escaped notice. It won't be long before they start to regroup. Even Kurogiri is struggling."

Crimson Death nodded. "Of course he is. After all... He is the least natural of the League of Villains."

In the Ruins Zone, Katsuki, Morimoto, and Eijirou had knocked out most of the villains. Katsuki took down one last villain who had a Chameleon Quirk while Morimoto turned his arms into glue that splayed over many villains, sticking them to the ground before detaching his arms and morphing them back to normal.

"That should be it in this area. Mayumi noted that warp fucker's neck brace, which is probably protecting his physical form." Katsuki said. "By now Four Eyes should have reached the school, so backup should be coming."

"Most of our classmates are taking down the other villains. A lot of them seem pretty weak. Like they haven't been villains for very long." Eijirou noted.

"Most new villain organizations recruit from the lowest parts of society. The hero washouts, the ostracized, the homeless, you get the idea." Morimoto explained. "It's easy for a big shot villain to bring these losers into the fold with promises of home, family, and anything else society may have been unable to provide for them."

"But man, Baku-Bro, I had no idea you were so calm and rational." Eijirou noted.

"OY, FUCK YOU! I'M ALWAYS CALM AND RATIONAL, SHITTY HAIR!" Katsuki barked.

Morimoto smirked. "Oh yeah, that's a perfectly calm and rational response right there."

Katsuki wanted to continue yelling but knew it would get nowhere as he sharply inhaled through his nostrils before breathing out of his mouth.

"When I get in a fight, I'm able to channel my Quirk toward an enemy, but it didn't get this powerful overnight. In fact, when it first manifested all I could make were small fireworks." The explosive blonde explained. "I had to study every facet of explosions and train my ass off in order to master it. Not just making the explosions as big and powerful as possible, but also controlling the size and power of the explosion for different functions.

"He's right, you know. Check out the chamelon guy who tried jumping him from behind." Morimoto said as he picked up the Chameleon Villain. "See how his head's still intact and he's still alive? If Katsuki didn't have any control over his Quirk we'd be looking at a bloody stump of a neck right now. Thirteen mentioned it during orientation prior to those villains interrupting our training. Our Quirks are deadly weapons, and there's a reason why they're regulated. Even someone like Mineta or Hagakure could murder someone if they used their Quirks in the wrong way."

"Yeah, like in the early days of anomalies. Back then the SCP Foundation was a Secure and Containment Procedural, preventing dangerous anomalies from raising body counts." Eijirou said thoughtfully. "It wasn't until enough humans appeared that could master their Quirks that the Foundation become the Superhero Central Protectorate it is today."

"And that gave way to the Hero Association and many other organizations dedicated to protecting the world." Morimoto added.

"Yup, but I think right now it's time we get that misty bastard who scattered us. Not only will that give Four Eyes time to reach the school, we can stop the rest of these extras from escaping, leaving them sitting ducks for when the other pros show up." Katsuki said. "Our classmates can handle the rest of the small fry."

Eijirou smiled as his arms hardened into gauntlets, which he then punched together.

"Awesome! That's thinking like a man!"

Morimoto smirked before shapeshifting into a giant falcon and offering Katsuki and Eijirou a ride on his back.

"Let's fly, boys!"

Oujiro was using his agility and martial arts training to take out villains in the Conflagration Zone while Fumikage showcased Dark Shadow's incredible power to handle things in the Downpour Zone's darkness, defending Kouji from some attacking villains as the two shared a thumbs-up.

Back at the entrance, Kurogiri had just managed to warp himself out of Shouji's grip, only for his armor to get tagged by Ochako's Quirk, sending him helplessly into the air. From there he could see Tenya prying the door open and trying to extend himself to warp him away, only to be yanked off by the combined efforts of Sero's tape along with Mayumi using the Tether Buster, a Buster Arm she got from emulating Sero's Quirk, followed by being pulled down by Rikidou using his Quirk, Sugar Rush, which increased his strength based on his glucose intake.

"Damn! These brats are too strong! Sensei should have had us study their Quirks while we were grabbing files! The one with the engines is getting away!"

As he thought this, he found himself flung far away from the exit, just as Ida managed to pry the door open and race off for the school.

"ENGINE BOOST!"

Kurogiri sighed. "I'll just have to trust that only All Might will come. At least we can continue our plan, barring any further unforeseen complications."

Tomura watched as the three heroes and Tsumi struggled against the Nomu. It seemed unaffected by Endo Hound's Quirk, but Serpenshia's was able to keep it off-balance. Tomura started to get stressed, carefully scratching his neck with three of his fingers, a habit he had developed to ensure he wouldn't accidentally kill himself with his own Quirk, Decay.

Kurogiri soon arrived. "I wasn't able to kill Thirteen or Agent of J, and one of the students escaped to get assistance."

"That could pose a problem. Granted he'll likely bring All-Might, but that might not be the only one he brings." Tomura growled. "At this rate, it's Game Over, back to the title screen. We don't stand a chance against dozens of pros...This was my chance to prove myself as Sensei's protege!"

"Should we retreat?" Kurogiri asked.

"Hmm, not just yet. After this they'll beef up security, making the level that much harder. We won't get a second chance." Tomura said. "How's the rest of the party?"

"I don't know, but probably not doing as well as we'd hoped. It turns out the class was given short-range earpieces." Kurogiri replied. "Our jammer is only good for external communication. They knew we were planning an attack. This is Foresight's doing."

Tomura nodded. "Okay, we may still be able to accomplish a side quest at the very least..."

With that, he turned toward the Nomu, a mad grin crossing his face.

"Nomu! Get away from the pros! Stalk down the students and kill every last one of them!"

Suddenly, much to the shock of Izuku's group, Tomura turned and sprinted toward them, his hand reaching out for Tsuyu. It was evidently clear he had managed to detect where they were earlier.

"I'll start with these ones!"

Tsuyu's eyes widened in horror as Tomura's hand was inches from her face...only for Izuku to ram her out of the way, being the one grabbed instead as Tomura laughed.

"A noble effort, hero! But now you've just sealed your own-"

His triumphant words died in his throat as his eyes widened in confusion. Yes, Izuku's face was decaying, but his skull didn't seem to even lose any molecules.

"Not the best way to adapt to getting my face disentegrated..." Izuku noted, looking rather creepy as his jaw moved without any cheek.

"THE FUCK?! WHAT KIND OF SELF-REZ BULLSHIT IS THIS?!" Tomura snapped in disbelief.

In his panic, Tomura let go of Izuku, who took the opportunity to leap over and face the villain.

"At first I thought you were too tough to take on, but now that I've gotten a better idea of how your Quirk works, you're surprisingly easy to beat. Since you need all five fingers to use your Quirk..."

Before Tomura could react, Izuku quickly grabbed and crushed his wrists in a way that rendered his hands useless, leaving the villain to scream in pain and agony as he fell to his knees.

"Y-You bastard...!"

"LET THAT BE A LESSON TO YOU!" A familiar voice bellowed, slamming down in front of the Nomu. "LIFE IS NOTHING LIKE A VIDEO GAME!"

The students and teachers all smiled in relief when they saw who it was. On the other hand, Tomura scowled in fury.

"And NOW the final boss shows up?! Right as our party is depleted?!"

The familiar form of All-Might stood up but his signature smile was not on his face. Instead, he was scowling, furious at the cowardly villains who dared threaten his colleagues and students.

"HAVE NO FEAR...FOR I. AM. HERE!"

The USJ Arc is almost at an end and we're about to deliver a truly glorious ass-kicking!

Also, I decided to retcon Morimoto's Morph Quirk a bit. He can now fully shapeshift into animals instead of just parts of his body. He can also change into other people but he can't perfectly imitate them like Toga can with her Quirk nor can he copy their Quirks and still has his defining features to differentiate himself, much like how Impossible Man had his green and purple color scheme to differentiate himself when he shapeshifts into other characters in Marvel.

One more thing; should I do bios for characters at the end of each chapter? If so, when should I begin or should I start next chapter?
