Izuku enters a pitch-black room. He makes sure he can defend himself if they just brought him here to kill him.

He reaches his visor and turns on his night-vision only to find Shigaraki find front of him. He doesn't have the hand over his face, revealing his crusty face. However, at least his clothes are nicer.

Shigaraki grins, obviously wanting something more from Izuku than his death,

"Right here, right now. I put the offer out. I don't want to chase you down. I know you see it. You run with me, and I can cut you free. Out of the drudgery and walls you keep in."

Shigaraki wants Izuku to become a villain? He must have the means to convince Izuku to join, forcefully or not. No idiot would just do this because they want. It's scary to Izuku to think that Shigaraki has something to hold over Izuku's head.

However, Izuku can use this time as intel collecting. It's risky, but isn't that what Izuku signed up for?

Izuku keeps his face blank, causing Shigaraki to growl, but the smirk comes back,

"So trade that typical, for something colorful. And if it's crazy, live a little crazy! You can play it sensible, a king of conventional. Or you can risk it all and see..."

Shigaraki approaches Izuku suddenly, leaving a barely a foot (0.3) meters between the two. It takes everything for Izuku not to step back for space.

"Don't you wanna get away from the same old part you gotta play? Cause I got what you need, so come with me and take the ride! It'll take you to the other side! Cause you can do like you do, or you can do like me; stay in the cage, or you'll finally take the key! Oh, damn! Suddenly you're free to fly! It'll take you to the other side!"

Izuku knows he can't take this offer immediately. Otherwise, it would look suspicious. He has to fake a guard. Izuku makes sure to look Shigaraki straight in the eyes as he speaks,

"Okay, my friend, you want to cut me in. Well I hate to tell you, but it just won't happen. So thanks, but no. I think I'm good to go. Cause I quite enjoy the life you say I'm trapped in."

Izuku withdraws from Shigaraki, walking away towards a random wall as he can't find a door. Now to make a reasonable reason for Izuku to want to join,

"Now I admire you, and that whole show you do. You're onto something, really it's something. But I live among the swells, and we don't pick up peanut shells! I'll have to leave that up to you."

Izuku shifts his body to look at Shigaraki, who seems to be thinking of how to play his cards,

"Don't you know that I'm okay with this uptown part I get to play? Cause I got what I need, and I don't need to take the ride. I don't need to see the other side! So go and do like you do, and I'm good to do like me. Ain't in a cage, so I don't need to take the key! Oh damn! Can't you see I'm doing fine? I don't need to see the other side."

Izuku sees a glint in Shigaraki's eyes as he approaches closer, but not as close as the first time. He has found his card.

"Now is this really how you like to spend you days? Whiskey and misery, and parties and plays?"

Izuku bites his tongue to keep back a smart remark.

"If I were mixed up with you, I'd be the talk of the town. Disgraced and disowned, another one of the clowns!"

Shigaraki's face shifts to something resembling concern? Izuku can't tell if it's real or not. Probably no, but that means he is getting closer.

"But you would finally live a little. Finally laugh a little. Just let me give you the freedom to dream, and it'll wake you up and cure your aching. Take your walls and start them breaking. Now that's a deal that seems worth taking! But I guess I'll leave that up to you."

Izuku doesn't want to know what would happen if he doesn't accept it. It's not like he can escape anyway unless you blows himself up with it. He approaches Shigaraki and faces him professionally. He lets a small grin out. He has to be fully in this act.

"Well, it's intriguing, but to go would cost me greatly. so what percentage of the show would I be taking?"

Izuku wants to be center stage when he takes the place down, after all.

"Fair enough, you'd want a piece of all the action. I'd give you seven, we could shake and make it happen!"

"I wasn't born this morning! Eighteen would be just fine!"

Izuku swears he sees Shigaraki's eye twitch.

"Why not just go ahead and ask for nickels on the dime?!"

"Fifteen."

"I'd do eight."

"Twelve."

"Maybe nine."

"Ten."

There is silence for a moment. Then, Shigaraki grins psychotically. They have made a deal.

"Don't you wanna get away?!" "Don't you wanna get away?!"

"Cause I got-"

"What you need, so come with me and take the ride! To the other side!" "With me and take a ride! To the other side!"

"So if you do like I do."

"So if you do like me!"

"Forget the cage cause we know how to make a key! Oh, damn! Suddenly we're free to fly! We're going to the other side!" "Forget the cage cause we know how to make a key! Oh, damn! Suddenly we're free to fly! We're going to the other side!"

"So if you do like I do!"

"To the other side!"

"So if you do like me!"

"Going to the other side!"

"Cause if we do, we're going to the other side!" "To the other side!"

"We're going to the other side!" "We're going to the other side!"

Shigaraki took his chance. At top speeds, he rushes Izuku and knocks him out.

Izuku collapses on the ground, unaware of what is about to him.

Shigaraki bends down and plants his hand on Izuku's forehead. He hasn't used this quirk yet but Shigaraki is glad he stole it.

Shigaraki goes into Izuku's memories and either alternates or delete them. He can't create new memories, but he can change what happened in his current ones. He can't delete too many or Izuku will be suspicious because he is that smart. He alternates UA to make it seem like hell as well as making his hero life worst. He removes everyone he knows except those he did not get along with as it's more difficult to make them act different for their entire time with him. He forces him to go through much crueler punishments with Kacchan despite fighting back. He makes the League of Villains a positive in his life. He makes sure it all makes sense for Izuku.

Shigaraki withdraws a hand and grins as he asks Kurogiri to take Izuku away.

Izuku will not have a reason to withdraw now.

Meanwhile, Izuku does not know a thing.

- - -

Izuku jerks awake from a nightmare, covering his mouth from screaming. It doesn't help that he woke up with the worst migraine of the century. He can worry about that later. Fake it till you make it!

Quickly, he calms down as he looks around.

The room contains only the bed he is lying on, a bookshelf, a desk, and a chair. In a corner is a camera facing him. He'll have to destroy the bitch because he hates people watching him. Everything else is bare. It almost felt cold. At least it seems clean.

Suddenly, Kurogiri appears and Izuku relaxes.

"I see you are awake, Izuku. How are you feeling?"

"Shit. What happened?"

"You got injured badly during your last mission, and it left you in a coma for a few days. Shigaraki had to keep coming in and heeling you."

That makes sense, so why is his gut telling him otherwise? He ignores it for now. He needs to make sure Shigaraki is not about to kill him over fucking up.

"He's probably pissed about that. For wasting his time, I mean."

"You exceeded your expectations, so it's not too surprising."

"Who was I facing against?"

"You were facing against the hero Miriko. Unfortunately, other heroes were around when they noticed you got her and tried to stop you as well. You were able to knock them out and got away."

"Isn't she against teamwork, though?"

"Yes. That's why she is...acting inmature on the media."

"That's her anyway."

Another familiar voice interrupts the conversation, "I see you're awake, Izuku. Took you long enough to revive."

Izuku mumbles, "No crap. What's my punishment?"

"You have a week of training before you can go back on the field. Get to work," Shigaraki says gruffly before leaving. However, he stops and looks at Izuku, "Under no conditions are you to touch anybody? Got it?"

"Got it." Shigaraki leaves.

Kurogiri nods to him, "You may rest for the day, but you start tomorrow. Please attempt to sleep." With that, he leaves too, leaving Izuku to his own thoughts.

His thoughts that he couldn't understand. Izuku felt disconnected with himself. Something is wrong, and he does not know what.

Izuku isn't stupid. Logically, it all makes sense. Yet, it doesn't.

He feels jumbled.

He feels confused.

He feels disassociated from himself.

With his current hell of a migraine, he decides to worry about it later. It's probably from just waking it from sleeping for the longest time in his life. It should clear. He has to be prepared for training whenever tomorrow is anyway.

Next Day

Izuku is currently being led to the training room by Toga and Dabi, and he can't help but wonder why he doesn't recognize the place. New location? They would have just told him. It hurts his head to think about it, so he brushes it off.

When he enters the room, Toga and Dabi don't join him. It's a ginormous empty room besides for Shigaraki standing across it with a Nomu beside him.

Shigaraki looks at him with what could almost be described as excitement, "I think it's time for training to take down that damn Hero Commission. It's only appropriate if someone of their own does it to them, don't you agree, Izuku?"

Izuku can't help but think that he is finally getting revenge, but he feels like the situation is odd. He nods anyway.

Shigaraki grins, "You're attacking abilities are fine. We're working on your dodging because you can't be touched no matter what. Nomu, attack."

Izuku barely has a chance to duck out of the way from the first hit. He swore he was much better than this. Did he fall that far out of practice from that small break?

Izuku growls at himself as he gets moving, knowing Shigaraki is watching. He makes sure Shigaraki hears how commited he is to the mission.

"This is appeared as a moral dilemma. Cause at first it was weird though I swore to eliminate the worst of the plague that devoured humanity. Its tur I was vague on the How so how can it be that you have shown me the light?"

The Nomu barely touches Izuku. He jumps back to take the chance to recover and readjust.

"It's a brand new day, and the sun is high! All the birds are singing that you're gonna die!"

This time, the Nomu managed to land a mighty punch in Izuku's gut, throwing him against the wall with some loud cracks. Izuku straightens up and spits out blood as he grins psychotically at the enemy.

"How I hesitated, now I wonder why! It's a brand new day!"

Izuku rushes forward and fights.

- - -

One Week Later

"You're ready. There's a HC meeting tonight. You're going to eliminate some of those members from the game. You should know the right amount. You're not dumb. Your batons are with Kurogiri.," Shigaraki suddenly tells Izuku as he was heading to the training room.

Izuku stops and grins, "Gotcha!"

Izuku immediately heads to go search for Kurogiri,

"All the times that you beat me unconscious, I'll forgive. All the crimes incompletely, listen honestly I'll live. Mr. Cool, Mr. Right, Mr. Knowitall is through. Now my futures so bright and I owe it all to you who showed me the light."

Izuku finds Kurogiri at a makeshift bar. Without a second glance, Kurogiri reaches down and places his batons on the table. He takes them and sparkes them, and a psychotic look decorates his face.

"It's a brand new me! I've got no remorse! Now the waters rising, but I know the course! I'm gonna shock the world, gonna show bad horse! It's a brand new day!"

Izuku leaves Kurogiri behind and leaves the warehouse. He climbs on the roof and parkours across the buildings to the HC buildling. When he arrives, he ducks down.

"And HC will see the evil me. Not a joke, not a joke, not a failure. And they may cry but their tears will when I hand them the keys to a shiny new system."

- - -

That Night

Izuku chuckles from the roof as he manages to attract four members of the HC into an alleyway.

"It's a brand new day. Yeah, the sun is high. All the angels sing because you're gonna die!"

He hops down, and in a blink of an eye, he has them wrapped up in his electric whips, knocking them out. He withdraws the whips as he laughs,

"Go ahead and laugh! Yeah, I'm a funny guy! Tell everyone goodbye! It's a brand new day!"

Nobody sees him as he gets in and out as quickly as possible, leaving behind the bodies.

The message.

One Month Since The Incident

Bakugo huffs angrily as he patrols at early night. Usually, he patrols during the day, but with this new mystery person popping up, he was asked to patrol instead of the other heroes. He's the only one at his agency that has an actual chance.

From what the reports show, they provide next to nothing. Whoever it is, they are quick enough to knock out not only citizens, specifically anyone with the HC, but pro-heroes as well. This wouldn't be a concern if they have actually seen the person doing it.

They don't. He's that fast. Cameras are hacked so he can't be picked up on.

The only thing it does provide is that every victim has been electrocuted, with some having rope burns on their skin if bare. Intentionally or not, none of them have been killed. They're trying to make a message, but what?

Either way, whenever Bakugo finds this person, he is going to fuck them up. Over 50 people have gotten injured because of them. He isn't allow him to gain more.

Meanwhile, Izuku is looking for the his next victim to fuck up. Shigaraki asked him to focus on lower-ranking heroes for now as he doesn't want to risk it. He was going to follow it.

But then he saw Bakugo.

"If you really want a quirk, take a swan dive off a roof and hope you get one in your next life."

"YOU USELESS DEKU!"

"You'll never make it into UA!"

Izuku was already moving without thinking. Anger was fucking boiling to the rim. He wanted revenge. Revenge for what Bakugo did to him! He doesn't deserve the title of a hero even if the HC was good!

Izuku drops a stone in an alleyway nearby Bakugo's route, making sure he hears it.

Bakugo does, but he doesn't approach it like most people would. It sounded like it was thrown from a high place. When he looks up, there are no windows. Maybe he was hearing things?

Izuku throws another rock.

Bakugo hears it once more and realizes that it was intentional and coming from the rooftop. Bakugo uses his quirk to burst himself to the top only to barely electricized ropes-

Bakugo almost freezes, but he manages to get himself on the roof before seeing the owner.

"You're the first one to dodge that, Bakugo~. I'm impressed," Izuku says, but it doesn't sound like a compliment.

Bakugo couldn't believe it. Why the hell was Izuku attacking him?! Why is he appearing now?!

Wait, he is the one-

"WHAT THE FUCK, DEKU?! WHY ARE YOU FUCKING ATTACKING PEOPLE?!" Bakugo snarls. Before being taken away, Izuku and Bakugo were on decent terms. They could work together and hang out without exploding a building. However, all that seems gone. All that's left is fucking anger in Izuku's eyes and his body trembling. His hair is all over the place due to the static, making him look more insane.

Izuku snapped, "I don't know! What the fuck is an asshole like you doing being a hero?! YOU FUCKING TOLD ME TO JUMP OFF A ROOF, YET YOU GET TO BE A HERO?! THAT'S BULL SHIT!"

Bakugo has to hide a flinch. Something is seriously wrong. This isn't Izuku. He doesn't get a chance to ask something when his batons are after Bakugo once again, forcing him to fly up. He isn't going to attack yet.

"We already talked about this and decided to look over it, Deku! Now why the hell did you disappear for over a month?!"

"Bitch, I've been busy spreading my message!" Izuku decides not to overlook it and to run straight at him to close the distance.

"What message?!"

"That the hero system is wrong! They let someone like you come in, and they abused me! THEY ARE JUST SO FUCKED UP! It needs to go down!" Izuku swings the baton once more, but Bakugo is unable to dodge it, so he grabs it. That was his dumb decision of the day as he throws it away form himself and realizes how bad he is twitching. Bakugo realizes that Izuku so much faster than the last time they fought.

"Deku, you dumbass! What about your goddamn family?! Mom, Aizawa-sensei, Present Mic, and Midnight?! You have any idea how shattered they were when you just fucking ditched them for whatever the fuck you're supposed to be doing?!" Izuku wonders why in the hell is Bakugo

"Mom is against me being a hero anyway, so might as well be the villain of the show. Stop making up goddamn lies! I have no relation to those other people!" Bakugo almost couldn't believe it. The idiot got his memory fucked around with somehow. He focuses on dodging, but he notices that Izuku doesn't do hand-to-hand combat. He's keeping his distance for some reason.

"ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?! YOU, MIDNIGHT, AND PRESENT MIC ARE BEST OF FRIENDS! YOU AND AIZAWA-SENSEI PRACTICALLY RELY ON EACH OTHER! IF ONE OF YOU IS GONE, THE OTHER IS FUCKED!" Izuku was really getting pissed. Bakugo knows nothing about him. Nothing!

Izuku keeps attacking Bakugo, waiting for him to wear down. Meanwhile, he is going to make sure Bakugo hears him loud and clear.

"My mother, she told me. Don't get in trouble. My father, he told me. He knew I would. My brothers, they told me. Don't give a damn. My sister, she told me. To do something good."

Izuku makes sure he looks Bakugo in the eyes when he says his next line.

"I'm uncontrollable, emotional, chaotically proportional! I'm visceral, reloadable! I'm crazy, I'm crazy, I'm crazy, I'm crazy!"

Bakugo is so distracted by Izuku's look that he makes a rookie mistake. He was getting ready to dodge, but Izuku suddenly came forward and punched him in the face with his robotic arm, easily knocking him out. Bakugo drops on the ground with probably a broken noise, and Izuku smiles in satisfaction as he finishes.

"Everybody in the world knows I'm a little twisted, twisted!"

Not bothering with anything else, Izuku runs off. He'll probably get in trouble since Bakugo is probably going to remember, but he can always hack into the police station and remove any evidence.

"Everybody in the world knows I'm a little twisted, twisted!"

Maybe he can get another pro down tonight.

"Everybody in the world knows I'm a little twisted, twisted!"

Either way, Izuku feels one step closer to taking down the system.

"Everybody in the world knows I'm a little twisted, twisted!"
