Ch. 21: Heroes vs. Villains

In the city, Mt. Lady, Kamui Woods, and a third Hero were dealing with a hostage situation involving a family of three being held captive in the arms of a giant pink Villain.

"Don't move. One step closer and I'll kill this whole family. You don't want the blood of these damned yuppies on your hands. Now do ya, Heroes?" The Villain, Habit Headgear threatened.

The Heroes were catching their breaths as they tried to devise a plan to rescue the citizens from the pink menace.

"Never fear, dear citizens! MISSOURI SMASH!"

All Might came flying in, delivering a karate chop right on the back of Habit Headgear's head while simultaneously rescuing the family from his grip. "I am here to keep you safe… even on my morning commute."

"KYAAAAAH! A hit-and-run!" All Might's ears picked up a cry of distress in the distance.

"I shouldn't be late for school, but I can't ignore someone in need!" All Might launched himself into the air, only to notice something off about himself. 'I've clearly gotten slower. I'm pushing my Hero form too far past the limits. The time I can spend in this form has been getting shorter ever since I forced myself last year. Still… I have to last. I need to find a successor soon.' He then thought back to the individual that caught his eye. 'Even though he was given such a great opportunity, I'm impressed that Young Togata chose to turn it down so he could be his own Hero. Still, if that tip Tsukauchi received is true, if he IS still out there, I must be ready to face him if he comes back before I can find a successor!' All Might thought during the time it took him to reach the fleeing vehicle and smashed the engine so it would be unable to go any further.

"There's a hostage situation across town!" A person on the footpath yelled, getting All Might's attention.

All Might grunted in frustration, but still leaped off in the direction anyway, a Hero's duty to the civilians always came first.

Over at U.A., it was just after lunch period. In 1-A's homeroom, Aizawa discussed the day's lesson plans with the class.

"Today's training will be a little different. Originally, it was supposed to be just us, but after yesterday's incident, it was decided that we'll be joined by Class 1-B. You'll have four instructors: me, Vlad King, All Might, and another faculty member will be keeping tabs on you."

'1-B? That means with Asia, Chacha, and Kendo. Not only that, four Pros. All that because of the break-in?'

"Sir. What kind of training is this?" Hanta raised his hand to ask.

"Rescue." Aizawa held up a card that had the word "RESCUE" written on it. "You'll be dealing with natural disasters, shipwrecks, stuff like that."

"Disasters, huh? Sounds like we're in for a big workout," Denki commented.

"Totally!" Mina excitedly concurred.

"Real Hero stuff, this is what separates the men from the boys. I'm shaking with excitement!" Eijiro was pumped up.

"Finally, I'll get to show off how good I am in the water, ribbit," Tsuyu said.

"Guys, I'm not finished yet," Aizawa said annoyedly. "What you wear in this exercise is up to you. I know you're excited about costumes." He then pressed a remote to reveal the students' costumes. "But keep in mind that you haven't gotten used to them yet, and they might limit your abilities. This special training's at an off-campus facility. So we'll be taking a bus to get there. That's all, start getting ready." With that, he turned and walked out the door. The students got up from their chairs and began to prepare to head to rescue training.

Class 1-A all stood outside, waiting for the bus to arrive. Nearly everyone was in their costumes, all except one.

"Deku? Why are you wearing your PE clothes? Where's your costume at?" Ochaco asked. Izuku was dressed in his gym uniform with the accessories from his costume.

"You saw it after the Combat Training, it was kinda trashed," Izuku replied. "I'm still waiting on the Support company to fix it up."

"Izuku!" He heard Asia's voice calling out to him, and he turned to see said girl slithering up to him with Itsuka and Chacha beside her.

Asia wore her nun dress which was slightly modified to allow for less restricted movements, she also had her green flower pendant she received from Inko, and a lock of her hair was changed into vines to form a makeshift crown of thorns around her head.

Itsuka wore a blue knee-length qipao, with a black double-breasted corset that ended just below her bust, with short black spats underneath, a brown utility belt, a satchel attached to her back, a thin black domino mask around her eyes, and white-heeled navy blue boots.

Chacha's costume consisted of a blue dress with white ruffles and white short sleeves, a brown belt around her waist, and white shoes with red ankle cuffs. She also had on golden bracelets and a choker, a red headband with winglike extensions on the side, a red scarf around her neck, and a gold pauldron on her right shoulder.

"Do you like my costume? I was inspired by magical girl shows," Chacha said as she did a twirl to show all angles of her costume.

"Oh yeah, I think it suits you," Izuku said, to Chacha's joy.

"So you're this Izuku I've heard about."

Izuku turned around, only to see the floating head of a girl with wavy, dark moss-green hair, wearing a purple scaly mask over her dark green eyes, and a grin showing off her sharp teeth.

Izuku freaked out at the sight of the floating head and let out a loud yelp.

"Kehahaha! That was priceless!" Setsuna laughed as she floated back onto her body. Her costume was a purple bodysuit of the same design as her mask, along with black knee-high boots, black fingerless gloves with guards for the knuckle and wrist, and a belt around her waist decorated with a yellow jewel.

"Setsuna!" Chacha shouted.

"Oh, relax, Chacha. I'm not gonna steal your boyfriend or anything," Setsuna teased.

Izuku and Chacha's faces both turned red as they stuttered trying to deny Setsuna's claim. Ochaco stared wide-eyed; what Setsuna said upset her for some reason. Asia pouted as she sent a small glare at Setsuna and Chacha.

She wasn't alone as back inside the school, Rias silently glared in the direction of the gathered students in the halls at one of the upper levels. She couldn't hear what they were saying from that distance, but the green-haired girl was pushing her boundaries.

"Is something wrong, Rias?" Latia hesitantly approached the red-haired Devil.

"I've never seen her so worked up," Sona commented. "She must really like Midoriya."

"It makes sense since he was the one who beat Riser," Akeno added.

Rias, meanwhile, didn't notice her friends were behind her as she was too focused on the Hero Course students below.

"So nice to meet face-to-face, Class 1-A." Monoma strode up to the 1-A students. He wore a tuxedo with several clocks around his waist. "The question is, who will come out as the better in today's exercise."

"You've just met them today, Monoma. Don't go making enemies before you get to know them," Itsuka reprimanded.

"We're all striving to be the best of the best, Kendo. It's only fitting to consider the other class our rivals," Monoma interjected.

"Fine. Just don't let it become an obsession," Itsuka relented.

Meanwhile, Chacha could only watch in envy at the sight of Izuku talking with his fellow 1-A students, specifically the girls.

Then, a hand was placed on her shoulder. "Don't worry, Chacha," Orihime reassured. Her attire was a sleeveless white garment with a diamond-shaped design on both sides and an indigo, wisp-patterned bottom half. Her hair, which was normally tied into twintails at the side, was now a ponytail at the back bound between orange rods. She also wore a pair of red hakama pants and sandals, a large purple and white nio-dasuki on her back, and a hannya mask on the side of her head. "You'll have plenty of time to be with him soon."

Chacha looked at the Pawn, nodding and smiling. She was right. Her chance with Izuku will come soon. She just had to be patient.

Meanwhile, Eijiro and Tetsutetsu noticed each other, and both were thinking the same thing. 'He looks familiar, but from where?'

There were plenty of other students interacting with their contemporary class. Among those were Ethel and Hilda from Class A with Rebecca and Asuka from Class B respectively.

Rebecca's current attire was a yellow scale-armor patterned leotard with a white sports skirt over it. She also wore yellow boots, brown gloves, and a turquoise capelet.

Asuka's Hero costume was a pink, form-fitting bodysuit that clung tight to her body, emphasizing her curves. It was lighter in the stomach and chest area and had fishnet mesh around the sides of her thighs and waist. She had light pink metallic gear on her arms and legs which almost seemed mechanical.

"Ah, I know that cafe you're talking about. I love their rainbow cake, it's muy sabroso!" Rebecca chimed in.

"And I particularly cherish their strawberry cake, which is a perfect combination of the sweetness of the cream and the slight sourness from the strawberries!" Ethel said excitedly with sparkles in her eyes, contrasting her usual stoic nature.

"So wait, you really scored your first points in the Entrance Exam that way?" Asuka asked.

"Yep! Leaped into the air and crushed the bot under my big fat booty!" Hilda said as she turned around and slapped her butt for emphasis.

Aizawa and Vlad King looked over at their students. It pleased them to see that many had already introduced themselves to their sister classmates and several friendships were forming between them, due to sharing personal interests or having similar Quirks.

Tenya then blew a whistle, getting the attention of all the students. "Gather around, Class 1-A! Using your student numbers, form two neat lines so we can load the bus efficiently!"

Soon, everyone loaded onto the bus and they were on their way to the training facility. However, someone was not happy.

"The bus's open layout ruined my boarding strategy," Tenya muttered, depressed and annoyed. He was expecting the bus to have the standard seating arrangement, but now, his plan had been rendered moot.

"Iida, you really need to chill," Mina said.

"Yeah, this is hardly a reason to get bent out of shape over," Dani added.

"If we're pointing out the obvious, there's something I wanna say," Tsuyu stated before turning to Izuku. "About you, actually."

"About me? What is it, Asui?" Izuku nervously asked.

"I told you to call me Tsu," Tsuyu reminded.

"Oh, yeah, right."

"That power of yours… not only can you boost your strength, but you can also become a dragon like Ryukyu?" Tsuyu bluntly asked.

"Uh, well, yeah, I guess it kinda is like hers," Izuku muttered. "I can double my power, but only once every ten seconds. So there are limits."

"Even so, it's a lot flashier than my power," Eijiro entered the conversation. "My Hardening's super strong, but it doesn't look all that impressive, see." He then activated his Quirk for a quick demonstration.

"Oh, no way! It's really awesome! I've seen you in action with your Quirk, remember?" Izuku said. "Like on the day we met?"

Eijiro then remembered the rescue mission at the church where he managed to fight off plenty of rogue priests and exorcists, who all either went down easily to a few hardened punches or failed to damage him in any way due to his toughness. "Right, I remember! Thanks, bro."

Mina smiled at that, her friend had gained more confidence in himself and she couldn't be happier for him.

"Yeah, you're definitely Pro material with a Quirk like that!"

"My Navel Laser's got the perfect combination of panache and strength," Yuga bragged.

"But it's way lame if it gives you a stomachache, sweetie," Mina informed as she placed her hand on the glittering Hero-in-training's shoulder, to his embarrassment.

"Well, if any of our classmates have Pro Quirks besides Midoriya, it's Todoroki and Bakugo." Eijiro cast a glance to the back of the bus where the mentioned two were sitting. Katsuki gave a quick look towards his direction before going back to mind his own business.

"Sure, but Bakugo's always angry. So he'll never be that popular," Tsuyu bluntly stated.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY!? I'LL KICK YOUR ASS!" Katsuki slammed his hands down on the guard in front of him as he stood up and glared at Tsuyu, to the surprise of his seatmate, Kyoka.

"Y'see?" Tsuyu pointed at the volatile teen, her point proven.

"Y'know, we basically just met you, so it's kinda telling that we all know your personality is flaming crap mixed with garbage," Denki said with a shrug and a smirk.

"YOU'RE GONNA REGRET THE DAY YOU APPLIED TO THIS SCHOOL, YOU LOSER!" Katsuki roared at the blond.

As Tenya tried to diffuse the situation, Izuku watched the scene with surprise and awe.

[Surprised that Bakugo is the one getting teased in school, now?]

'Yeah,' Izuku nodded. 'Never thought I'd see the day,' Izuku chuckled to himself as the bus began to slow down.

"This is such a disgusting conversation," Momo said, covering her mouth with her hand.

"Yeah, but it's kinda fun listening to them fight," Ochaco said with a cheerful grin.

"Yeah, lighten up," Hilda added.

"Hey, hey, we're here," Aizawa called out as the bus arrived at their destination. "Stop messing around."

When the students all got off the bus, they looked up to see a large domed building, along with someone in a large spacesuit.

"Hello everyone, I've been waiting for you!" The person in the spacesuit greeted them.

"It's the Space Hero: Thirteen! The chivalrous Pro who's rescued a ton of people from disasters across the world!" Izuku said.

"Woohoo!" Ochaco gushed. "Thirteen is one of my favorite Heroes!"

"I can't wait to show you what's inside," Thirteen motioned for everyone to come in.

'This is gonna be awesome!' Nearly all the 1-A and 1-B students thought.

Inside the domed building, there were many zones for rescue training, all created in the image of various potential disaster sites.

"It looks like some kind of amusement park!" Eijiro and Tetsutetsu both yelled, before noticing that they both said the same thing.

"A Shipwreck, a Landslide, a Fire, a Windstorm, etc.!" Thirteen announced. "I created this training facility to prepare you to deal with different types of disasters, I call it… the 'Unforeseen Simulation Joint.' But you can call it 'USJ!'"

'…Just like Universal Studios Japan.' Pretty much all the students thought.

"Hey, shouldn't All Might be here already?" Vlad King asked.

"Let me guess, he booked an interview instead?" Aizawa remarked sarcastically.

"Actually, it's something else," Thirteen said in a quiet voice as she moved in closer toward the two. "Apparently, he did too much Hero work on the way to school this morning and used up all his power. He's resting in the Teachers' Lounge."

"That fool. He should know better than that." Vlad King said in a whisper tone.

"That man is the height of irresponsibility," Aizawa muttered. 'Well, we should be okay with just the three of us…' "The clock's ticking. We should get started."

"Excellent. Before we begin, let me just say one thing, well, maybe two things…" Thirteen held up two fingers, before raising two others. "Possibly three… four… or five…"

The students sweat-dropped. 'We get it.'

"Listen carefully. I am sure you are aware that I have a powerful Quirk. It's called Black Hole. I can use it to suck up anything and turn it to dust." Thirteen explained her Quirk.

"Yeah, you've used Black Hole to save people from all kinds of disasters before, haven't you?" Izuku asked, with Ochaco nodding along rapidly.

"That's true, but my Quirk could also very easily be used to kill," Thirteen replied in a serious tone. "Some of you also have powers that can be dangerous." The students stared in silence as they continued to listen. "In our superhuman society, all Quirks are certified and stringently regulated, so we often overlook how unsafe they can actually be. Please don't forget that if you lose focus or make the wrong move, your powers can be deadly. Even if you're trying to do something virtuous like rescue someone. Because of All Might's combat training, you likely experienced how dangerous your powers can be when used against other people. Carry those lessons over to this class. Today, you're going to learn how to use your Quirks to save people's lives. You won't be using your powers to attack enemies or each other, only to help. After all, that's what being a Hero is all about. Ensuring the safety of others. That's all I have to say. Thank you so much for listening." Thirteen finished her speech with a bow.

The students clapped and cheered at her speech.

It was now Aizawa's turn to speak. "Right. Now that that's over-"

But before he could finish his sentence, the various lights and electricity went off. Both classes and the teachers looked around in surprise.

"What's up with the lights?" Chacha asked.

Suddenly, at the USJ's Central Plaza, the space around the fountain became distorted as a dark purple misty vortex began forming. Both Aizawa and Vlad King instinctively felt a sense of dread as they turned to face the swirling vortex, which had now formed into a portal. The first to emerge was a face wearing a disembodied hand like a makeshift mask.

"Stay together and don't move!" Aizawa suddenly ordered, catching the students by surprise.

"Do as he says!" Vlad King roared as he readied his fists. "Thirteen, protect the students!"

Seeing their defensive nature, some students looked into the Central Plaza to see what had made them act this way.

"What is that?" Itsuka asked.

More figures exited the portal, flooding the area from the mist, each with unique Quirks that made them stand out in one or another way. However, there were two among them that stood out: the first was a giant humanoid whose brain was visible, and the second was a woman dressed in a black tank top and jeans with her face obscured by a hood, both standing next to the man with the hands.

"Wait, did the training start already?" Eijiro asked.

"I thought we were rescuing people?" Tetsutetsu added.

"DON'T MOVE!" Vlad King commanded as Aizawa put on his yellow goggles.

"This is real. Those are Villains…" Aizawa replied.

The students' eyes widened in shock.

"The only real Heroes I see are Thirteen, Vlad King, and Eraserhead. There are also twice the number of students we anticipated. Perplexing," A voice came from the portal, which had reformed into a somewhat humanoid shape. "According to the schedule we retrieved from U.A., All Might should be here as well. And Class 1-B is supposed to be back at the school."

"Makes sense considering the scare we gave them yesterday," the man with the hands said. "Must've decided to change things up a bit. Still, I went through the trouble of bringing so many friends who are eager to meet All Might, the great Symbol of Peace. Maybe if we kill a few kids, he'll come out to play."

The hooded woman smirked at the idea, already having five students in mind for her list, particularly the boy with the fluffy green hair.

"So those scumbags used the press from yesterday as a cover and sneaked onto campus," Vlad King said in realization.

Aizawa's capture scarf furiously unraveled as the last of the Villains stumbled through the black fog. Thirteen stepped in front of the shocked students, keeping vigilance over them as Aizawa and Vlad King prepared for battle.

"What, real Villains!?" Eijiro shouted.

"How could so many of them get into a U.A. facility this secure!?" Tetsutetsu added.

"Yeah, Thirteen!" Itsuka called out to Thirteen, making her way to the front of the two classes. "Why aren't the alarms going off?"

"Good question. I'm not sure…"

"Is the entire campus under attack? Or is this their only target?" Shoto questioned.

"If the alarm sensors aren't being triggered, then one of these Villains must have a Quirk that's masking their presence here," Ethel deduced. "They carefully chose this isolated facility as an entry point at a time when a class was being taught."

"They're fools for trespassing here, but they've thought this out," Monoma added. "Whatever their plan, they must have a concrete objective in mind. But what is it?"

"Thirteen! Get them out of here. And alert the main campus," Aizawa ordered. "Actually, if they've got the ability to block our sensors, they might be jamming our regular communications too. Kaminari, try using your Quirk to contact the school."

"Yes, sir!" Denki obeyed.

"Class Reps, organize your classes. Make sure you keep a headcount on everyone," Vlad King warned.

"What are you gonna do?! You can't fight them all by yourselves! There's too many of them!" Izuku exclaimed.

"Yeah, we can help out!" Hilda added.

"You can't be a Pro if you only have one trick," Aizawa smirked. "We'll leave it to you, Thirteen."

"Reminds me of our student days," Vlad King smirked. "What say we use this to settle an old draw from our sparring days?"

"Now's not the time, Vlad," Aizawa reprimanded. "…But just to refresh your memory, I'm ahead at 51." Aizawa jumped down the stairs.

"Why that-!" Vlad King quickly followed after his colleague.

"Shooting squad, take your aim!" A Villain with gun barrels for fingers grinned.

"Didn't our intel say it was just gonna be Thirteen and All Might out here? Why's Vlad King here? And who's that hobo?" A female Villain with long grey hair floating upwards stated as she and the rest of the observed Aizawa charging ahead of Vlad King.

"Don't recognize 'im. But if they think they can take us down easy, they're dead!" Another Villain stated.

"Let's gum them down!" The Villains prepared to attack.

Aizawa responded by activating his Quirk as his eyes turned blood red and stared at all the Villains in his line of sight. The Finger Gun Villain tried to shoot from his fingertips, but found his Quirk not working. "My Quirk!"

The other two found themselves having the same problem thanks to Aizawa erasing their Quirks. And before they knew what was happening, Aizawa's capture scarf wrapped around them. With a swift tug, all three were hoisted into the air before colliding with each other headfirst, getting knocked out in the process.

"Idiots! That's Eraserhead! A Pro!" A random Villain shouted. "He can cancel your Quirks just by looking at you!"

"Cancellation? Bet you can't erase the Quirk of a Heteromorphic-type like me, can ya?!" A large gray Villain with multiple arms around his body said as he charged at Aizawa.

"Yeah, you're right," Aizawa replied, easily dodging the attacker's first strike and punching him square in the face. "But a Villain like you is only dangerous if you can reach me…" Suddenly, the capture scarf shot out and wrapped itself around the Villain's leg as Eraserhead dodged a punch from another Villain before retaliating with a kick. Pulling from the cloth, the multi-armed Villain was sent flying against a crowd of goons, throwing the group to the ground and taking them out of combat. "Good thing I've taken measures to make sure that never happens."

A group of four Villains tried to attack him from the back, but Vlad King intercepted them and in two swings managed to knock them out, his punches so hard and fast that one's face was not enough to stop them. "Got you!" A burly-looking Villain shouted as he tried to punch Vlad King, only for him to easily catch the fist with one hand. Suddenly, blood came gushing out of his gauntlet, ensnaring the Villain's hand.

[Sekijiro Kan AKA Vlad King. His Quirk: Blood Control. He can control his own blood once it leaves his body.]

"Ugh, let me go!" The Villain struggled.

Vlad King's response was to roar and use the Villain as a bat, knocking several others before spinning and tossing him away. "Now which one of you gutter punks is next?"

"There they go, trying to intimidate us. Since Eraser's hiding behind those goggles, you can't tell whose Quirk he's erasing. And Vlad's no slouch either, he's pretty versatile in using his blood for all kinds of purposes. How annoying," the apparent leader observed. "The worst thing about dealing with Pros is when they live up to all their hype."

"Why not just let me deal with them? I can do a better job than those third-raters," The woman in black offered, wanting to speed things along so that she could have a chance to kill a certain group of students.

"Not yet. We need to see what these Pros can do first. That's what we have the fodder for," the leader countered. "Kurogiri, how are the children doing?"

The Mist Villain, Kurogiri, noticed Aizawa being distracted by the other Villains and sensed an opportunity.

The group of forty-eight students, led by Thirteen, were now running for the exit. "Whoa, they're holding them off. Guess I shouldn't have underestimated them," Izuku muttered as he watched in awe that Aizawa and Vlad King could hold their own against all those Villains.

"This is no time for analyzing! We have to go!" Tenya called out, prompting Izuku to join him and the others.

The students and Thirteen made it halfway to the door, only for a black and purple vortex to appear in front of them before reforming into Kurogiri. "There is no escape for you!"

'Damn! I blinked and the guy who seems like the most trouble got away!' Aizawa cursed in his head as he and Vlad continued to fight off the minor Villains.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. We are the League of Villains," Kurogiri introduced politely. "I know it's impolite, but we decided to invite ourselves into this haven of justice to say hello. And besides, isn't this a fitting palace for All Might, the Symbol of Peace, to take his last breath?" He locked eyes with a few of the students and Thirteen. "All Might was supposed to be here today, yet I see no sign of him. There must have been some sort of change in plans we could not have foreseen. Ah, well. I suppose in the end it does not matter. I still have a role to play."

As Kurogiri monologued, Thirteen flipped out one of her finger caps, preparing to use her Quirk. However, Katsuki, Eijiro, and Tetsutetsu all rushed Kurogiri. Eijiro hardened his fist, Tetsutetsu steeled his, and together the boys aimed for Kurogiri's head while Katsuki had both hands out and blasted the midsection.

"Did you think we were just gonna stand around and let you tear this place to shreds?" Eijiro taunted.

"Yeah, take that!" Tetsutetsu said, high-fiving Eijiro.

"You live up to your school's reputation…" Everyone gasped as the smoke cleared, revealing an unharmed Kurogiri. "But you should be more careful, children. Otherwise, someone might get hurt."

"You three, get out of the way right now!" Thirteen yelled, her finger pointed towards Kurogiri, but it was too late.

"I'll scatter you across this facility. To meet my comrades… AND YOUR DEATHS!" Kurogiri yelled, enveloping both classes with his dark mist.

"CRAP! What is this?!" Eijiro and Tetsutetsu yelled.

Tenya grabbed whoever was nearest to him and ran out of the mist, which were Ochaco and Rikido. Mezo grabbed Mina and Kosei, as they were closest to him, and managed to anchor himself into the ground to avoid being sucked in. Awase fused his feet into the ground while grabbing Hanta and Shihai, fusing his hands into their skin to avoid being pulled away. Jurota transformed, grabbing Itsuka and Juzo and anchoring himself down similar to Mezo. Kojiro sprayed fast-drying glue from the holes in his face at his own feet, along with Hilda and Hiryu's, securing all three to the ground.

But the fog managed to envelop everyone else, swallowing them whole.

Izuku suddenly felt himself being thrown out of the vortex, only to find himself staring right into a body of water before falling into it.

'Water? He must have a warping Quirk,' Izuku thought as he regained his senses and observed his surroundings. Suddenly, he noticed a soft sensation on the back of his head right before a pair of white, slender arms grabbed him, and he felt himself being dragged to the surface. It was none other than his rabbit-like friend, Chacha. 'We must've been warped here together.'

Suddenly, Chacha's eyes widened in horror and shock. Izuku looked where she was facing and he too got the same expression. A shark-like Villain was swimming straight towards them at high speeds.

"First catch of the day! Nothing personal, kids, but you gotta die!"

But before the fishy fiend could get his jaws on them, Tsuyu suddenly appeared and slammed her legs into his face.

"Hey Midoriya, Akaninjin," the frog girl shot out her long tongue and wrapped it around the two Devils before dragging them out of the water.

Up on the surface, there was a ship with Dani, Rebecca, and Monoma already on it.

"You guys okay?" Dani called out, to which the two Devils nodded.

"Hang on," Tsuyu stretched out her tongue to gently drop Izuku and Chacha on the boat deck.

As Izuku rubbed his head, he finally realized what the soft things against his head were: Chacha's boobs. His face turned red as he backed away. Chacha's face was just as red, her blush visible even through her white fur, though she silently thought to herself that it wasn't all that bad.

"I got two more coming on board!" Tsuyu had both Reiko and Mineta in her arms, using her tongue to bring the former onto the boat first.

"For a frog, you got some pretty big boobs, Tsu… Perfect floaties…" The perverted boy leaned his face toward her bosom, causing her to blush and croak in embarrassment.

In turn, the frog girl threw Mineta onto the boat rather violently, as opposed to placing him down gently, in retaliation. Once that was done, Tsuyu climbed onto the ship herself.

"You saved mine and Chacha's lives, Asui," Izuku thanked.

"I told you to call me Tsu," she said.

[Tsuyu Asui. Her Quirk: Frog. It's pretty self-explanatory. She can basically do anything a frog can.]

"O-O-Oh, s-sorry I didn't mean it," Izuku muttered, waving his hands around nervously.

"You okay, Reiko?" Chacha asked her classmate, who nodded.

"Is that everyone here?" Reiko asked.

"I didn't see anyone else, so yeah," Tsuyu confirmed. "This is turning out to be a terrible day of class."

"Sí. This is no bueno," Rebecca said.

"Hey, remember what that Mist Guy said?" Dani asked.

"All Might was supposed to be here today, yet I see no sign of him. There must have been some sort of change in plans."

"They knew our whole schedule and who would be here. They must have gotten into school files while we were all stuck In the cafeteria yesterday," Izuku deduced, reminiscing on the events of the previous day. "The teachers were busy trying to get the media off school grounds. That means they've been waiting for the perfect time to attack. Just like Todoroki said they were."

"Hey, hold on a second! It's not like these guys can really kill All Might!" Mineta said. "Once he shows up, he'll pound these villains until there's nothing left!"

"Think about it though," Tsuyu argued. "If the Villains spent so much time planning this attack, then they probably figured out a way to kill him."

Everyone else looked at Tsuyu with varying looks of horror.

"And didn't you hear what that smoke guy said? Maybe we should worry more about not getting tortured to death," Tsuyu continued.

"You mean even if we survive long enough for All Might to come… He might not make it out in one piece?" Chacha asked hesitantly.

"This may be our darkest hour…" Reiko said ominously.

Meanwhile, Mineta started looking more and more like he was about to wet his pants.

"No! The Pros are gonna save us, right?! Tell Frog-Boobs to shut up!" Mineta wailed, causing almost everyone to frown at his behavior.

Izuku stared into the distance, hoping that his other friends were doing okay.

Landslide Zone

Asia, Manga, Pony, and Shoto were confronted by a squad of Villains.

Asia looked a little nervous, but she was determined to be brave just like Izuku. Manga's speech bubble-like head displayed the text "Yikes!" Pony put her hands to her temples with the index fingers raised, almost like she was trying to aim. Shoto just kept an icy glare at the Villains.

Ruins Zone

Katsuki roared as he blasted a Villain with an explosion while Eijiro and Tetsutetsu had their Quirks activated to fight back against the enemies.

Mountain Zone

By random chance, all the students transported to the Mountain Zone were girls (Momo, Tomoe, Setsuna, Yui, Kyoka, Asuka, and Ethel), something which the all-male group of Villains was happy about.

Conflagration Zone

Ojiro and Shoda stood back-to-back as they faced a horde of Villains. Denki and Sen were nearby, with Denki looking scared while Sen kept up a glare at the Villains.

Downpour Zone

Fumikage, Koji, Kinoko, Togaru, and Orihime stood together as they were surrounded by bad guys from all sides.

Back at the entrance, Thirteen and the group of 15 students kept their eyes on Kurogiri in case he tried to warp them away again.

During this, Eraserhead and Vlad King continued to pummel the lesser Villains while the leader and his group continued to observe.

"Heads up! We've got company!" Dani suddenly noticed something in the water.

"You bastards!" the Shark Villain yelled, as he and a dozen more at least surrounded the boat. "I'll enjoy eating you!"

Mineta proceeded to scream like a little girl. "BAD GUUUYYYYYSSS!"

Izuku looked at the Villains swimming toward the boat before he looked at the others. Each of them was growing nervous, some more than others. 'Asui might be right. If they're here for All Might, they might have a way to defeat him. They wouldn't have planned this attack if they didn't. But why him out of all the Heroes? Because his very existence discourages Villains and evil? Because he's the one and only Symbol of Peace and Justice?' His demeanor turned to determination, clinching both his fist and teeth. 'Actually, it doesn't matter! I don't care what their reasons are!' Izuku then remembered when Rias told him he could be a Hero, when he was accepted into U.A. by All Might, and when he saw All Might's debut video. 'I have to focus! I have to face this evil head-on!' "If they can beat him, then we have to stop whatever these bad guys are planning. We have to work together and keep All Might safe. No one at U.A. knows what's happening. This is up to us! Let's be Heroes!"

And so, the USJ arc begins, and Class 1-B is thrown in for the mix. The classes have been separated and scattered across the USJ where they find bloodthirsty Villains waiting for them. How will things turn out when both classes are involved?

See you next time. Go beyond! Plus Ultra!
