Shoto didn't get perplexed by much.... I mean, usually it's just his social skills these days and very weird villains, but not much.

So imagine his surprise when he gets a call from Touya to 'haul ass'.

"What could Touya possibly have an issue with?" He asked himself.

He soon got his answer when he saw the support hero known as Snowpool run out if the way of a torrent of blue flames, Touya slung over his shoulder.

"SHOTO!" Natsuo shrieked, tossing him the keys to his car.

"GET IN THE CAR!" Touya screamed.

"Why do I-"

Another torrent of flames came out, this time forming the shape of a person....

Shoto.

"GET IN THE GODDAMN CAR!" They both demanded, Shoto already putting the keys in the ignition.

He started the car up, Natsuo getting in the passenger seat whilst Touya got in the back. Shoto, being the worried brother her is, absolutely floored it.

"Touya, what's going on?! Is this related to what happened with Izuku a few days ago?!" Shoto questioned.

"Yeah. The bastard back there calls himself Frostscorcher, fucking off brand Shoto...." Touya grumbled, holding his side.

"He's looking for something, that's why Touya had called me in to get him on his feet before we got toasted." Natsuo finished explaining.

Shoto pulled over, saying "So where do we go? This guy obviously has all my abilities but stronger, so how do we beat him?"

Touya thought for a moment, before gaining a hard look.

".... We take him to a place only a Todoroki would expect to look." He said pointing at something in the distance.

".... A place with more than enough kindling for our flames." Shoto added.

"A place that we'd never be expected to return to." Natsuo finished.

.

Frostscorcher appeared, black and white hair visible in the sunlight.

"Where are you, Shoto?" The villain questioned, steam hissing from his palms.

"Do you recognize this area?"

Frostscorcher turned around, spotting Touya.

"Sekoto Peak. This place holds a lot of memories, doesn't it?" He continued. "I mean, do you know what it feels like to burn yourself alive? Of course you do.... That's why you took so long to catch up, isn't it?"

"You don't know what you're talking about." Frostscorcher hissed.

"So those aren't burns covering your neck and arms?" Natsuo asked. "Every clone has a flaw, so I'm guessing that this must be yours, correct?"

"That's right. His skin isn't good against ice or fire." Shoto said, the three now surrounding him. "So, if that's the case.... How well do you do against them both?"

At the same time, waves of fire and ice went at the villain, Touya and Shoto activating their quirks. Frostscorcher activated his quirk on both sides of his body, using it to its fullest capacity.

Shoto let out a sigh, smirking.

"You know, you really aren't all that powerful without your friends, right?" Shoto said, increasing his ice.

"I will not fail here!" Frostscorcher hissed, increasing the output of his quirk.

"You are right, you won't."

A dark red version of Blackwhip shot out, grabbing Frostscorcher and pulling him away from the fight.

"U-Usagi?" Frostscorcher breathed out.

"Tch. Nuker, warm him up. We're leaving!" Usagi ordered.

He released a wave of smoke, Touya firing a wave of flames to cut through. When the smoke cleared however, they were already gone.

*Where the villains are*

The three villains all arrived in an old warehouse, Usagi throwing Frostscorcher to the ground.

"Oh, now isn't this intriguing.... Frostscorcher, what the fuck was that display of weakness?"

The mysterious voice walked closer, Frostscorcher bowing his head in a mixture of fear and shame.

"Please, boss, it wasn't my fault! I swear-"

Frostscorcher couldn't finish as black smoke wrapped around his throat. A girl walked out of the shadows, pale gray eyes narrowing in a mild disgust.

"Should I kill him? I wanna kill him." She said in a monotone voice.

"Hmmm.... No, wait. Not yet, Kemuri." The first said, lifting his hand to stop her. "Frostscorcher, I will give you another task. Take Viper and Swindle with you, their quirks could be valuable for your mission." He said, turning his head. "Fujio, what's your progress on Poison-Dart?"

A boy stepped out, wearing a lab coat, eyes hidden by white goggles.

"She's prepared. She can join your mission within the needed time." Fujio responded, adjusting his goggles.

"Excellent." The man said again. "Frostscorcher, now is your chance to redeem yourself. You'll be going after hero Shoto. Don't fail me, or you'll wish that I let Kemuri finish you here and now."

.

"I'm telling you guys, It was so weird!" Shoto exclaimed, a coffee in one hand.

The Icyhot hero had decided to take a break, having lunch with Pinky, Cellophane, Froppy, and Red Riot.

"Sho, we've seen the reports. I mean, you said you kicked your own ass, right?" Cellophane said, placing back on his helmet.

"Yeah, so don't worry about it! I'm sure that-"

Pinky was cut off by a toxic green shot of acid flying past them. When they looked over, a darker clothed version on the acidic hero with lime green skin was walking over.

"So these are the heroes that we're supposed to be taking down? Swindle, honey, I thought you said that this would be hard!" The newcomer said, a black-hooded figure landing next to her.

The mask covering her mouth and nose was the same color as her hood, gold colored eyes glaring at the heroes. She let out a sigh, seeming both nervous and bored at the same time.

"Why did I have to get involved in this? I don't even wanna be here, but no, I had to get dragged along with Frostscorcher." The girl complained.

"Oh relax, kero.... We'll be done with this in no time." A black and green skinned Froppy said.

Frostscorcher stepped forward, saying "Hero Shoto.... Today is your reckoning, I won't let you defeat me this time!"

Shoto let out a groan, nodding to Cellophane, Pinky, Froppy, and Red Riot.

"Mina, Tsu, you two can handle yourselves. I'll deal with Frostscorcher. While I do that, Hanata, Eijiro, you two deal with that 'Swindle' character. Oh, and one more thing,"

Shoto turned to his friends, a smile appearing.

"Plus Ultra."

With that, his group all charged. Pinky shot acid at Viper, the two's acid clashing together. Viper grinned, releasing streams of acid of the other, much more ferocious than the hero.

"What's wrong, can't handle a little strength?" Viper taunted.

While that was happening, Red Riot and Cellophane both surrounded Swindle. The girl sighed, not wanting to deal with the two heroes. She crouched down, looking as if she just wanted to disappear.

"Oh man.... This is so bad, why do you heroes have to be involved? I'm so tired, when this is done I'm going to take a very long nap...." Swindle said quietly.

"Huh. She doesn't seem like much of a threat." Cellophane said, lowering his guard.

"Man, I'm hungry too.... You know, I'm tired, you're tired, they're tired,"

Something sharp went past his head, Cellophane widening his eyes in shock. She smiled underneath her mask, more spinning black saw blades appearing behind her in the air. She held out her hands, as if she were pulling the strings of a puppet.

"Let's wrap this up, okay?"

She released the blades, smiling at the heroes as the two dodged.

(Villain Name: Swindle

Quirk: Saw Blade

Swindle can summon saws from her body, and manipulate them like puppets! There's a catch however, as she needs to be able to move her hands in order to move her blades!)

Froppy dodged a glob of poison, a wall of blue fire moving past her and Poison-Dart. She grimaced at the heat. If things kept going like this....

Frostscorcher pinned Shoto against a wall, saying "Well, Shoto, how does if feel to underestimate someone?"

Shoto grinned, Frostscorcher looking confused.

"What are you smiling about?!" He demanded.

Shoto looked content, saying "Sorry, it's just.... You seem to forget something, it's basic for villains really....

You forgot to frisk me for my phone."

A black tendril wrapped around the villain, sending him into the air, as an explosion hit Viper.

"Can I say it, just this on time?" Deku asked.

"Fine, but only this once, nerd!" Dynamite agreed.

"PLUS ULTRA MOTHERFUCKERS!"

Swindle set her eyes on the heroes, frowning.

"Guess that's my cue." She said, forming a saw blade underneath her.

The other heroes restrained the remaining villains, Frostscorcher glaring.

"What was it you were saying? My reckoning?" Shoto taunted.

"No.... This shouldn't be happening!" Frostscorcher said angrily.

"Deku, is that all of the bastards?" Dynamite asked.

"The sad blade villain got away, but this works out in our favor! We can scan the city for her later!" The number one responded.

"Damn it.... Boss isn't going to like this...." Frostscorcher mumbled, nervous.

"Who's your boss?" Deku asked.

He couldn't get an answer, as an unsettling feeling came over Frostscorcher.

"You failed, Frostscorcher.... You know what the boss said!"

Kemuri waited nearby on a rooftop, smirking.

"Wait, please, I just need more time!" Frostscorcher pleaded.

A sickening stab was heard, a blade of smoke cutting through his chest. Then, like glass, his body gained cracks through it, and he began to crumble. He fell apart, the glass becoming hard and blackened. The heroes became frozen in shock, Swindle appearing next to the girl.

"Nice job, Swindle. Let's go, we can retrieve the others later." Kemuri said.

She snapped her fingers, a plume of smoke surrounding the two, disappearing out of thin air. It was then that the heroes realized it....

These weren't some novice villains, they knew what they were doing.
