The wind blew cold as a familiar group of disguised teens lurked outside an abandoned building.

"No lights on. Doesn't feel like anyone's home." Kirishima started.

"Hide a tree in a forest, right? They've made it look like an abandoned warehouse."

Izuku examined the outside of the building closely, trying to find some clues. It wasn't until much longer that he had started muttering to himself. Suddenly, his muttering was interrupted as an unfamiliar voice called out to them.

"Hey!"

The teens turned their backs in fear. Thankfully, it was only a pair of drunk guys trying to holla at Yaoyorozu. Seeing how they assumed she was a hostess proves how much those costumes were actually tricking others.

"You talkin' to me?!" Izuku growled with a disguised voice.

Both him & Iida stood in front of Yaoyorozu, trying to "intimidate" the random drunks. Todoroki blankly watched from the side before suggesting that they leave.

They walked around to a more open area and noticed that there were still people who would pass by every once in a while.

"How can we do this without attracting attention?" Asked one of the teens.

"Let's try to get around back. I know we're in the dark here, but this is all we've got to go on." Answered another.

They now found themselves squeezing through a narrow space somewhere away from the building.

"So narrow... I could get stuck." Momo complained as she shifted her body uncomfortably.

Kirishima had widened eyes and a nervous sweat after hearing her words. Wonder what he was thinking?

"We can't make a move until we know for sure it's safe... At least no one can spot us here..." Izuku noted.

He looked up and was alerted when he saw a window on the side of the building. "Up there, that window. We should be able to peek inside!" He pointed.

"Won't it be too dark to see anything?" Asked an unfamiliar black haired dude- oh wait, that's Todoroki.

"I could always create some night vision equipment..." Momo added.

"No! Actually, I have something right here." Kirishima stopped as he casually whipped out a night vision camera!

"Woah, really? How?!" Midoriya exclaimed.

Kirishima shrugged and replied with a simple: "You can get anything online nowadays."

"I could only afford one, but when I was thinking about what we could do, I thought this would come in handy." He shared as a serious expression came upon his face.

"That looks like a real expensive model!" Izuku gasped as he studied the gadget. He mentioned how he saw that the price was ranging to at least 50,000 yen.

"Forget the price. It's fine." Kirishima shrugged, not exactly caring for how much he spent. The again, saving his friend was way more important than finding a bargain price.

"All right then..." Todoroki started.

"Iida & I will lift Midoriya and Kirishima up to the window."

(I sometimes I forget that they're crazy strong... Todoroki saying that^^ made me realize it)

"Don't get too ahead of yourselves. If things get bad, we'll need to escape in a hurry." Iida informed.

After everything was said, they shifted around the tight space to get the boys on the others' shoulders.

"What can you see, Kirishima? What's going on there?" Questioned Iida from below.

"Hm... pretty dirty in there... but otherwise nothing... woah!!" He suddenly gasped.

Kirishima was so shocked at whatever it was he saw, that he almost fell off of Iida!

"What is it? What'd you see, Kirishima?!" Iida repeated.

"On the left... Midoriya!! Check the left side... in the back!" Kirishima directed before handing the camera over.

Izuku grabbed the camera and was genuinely shocked at what he was seeing! 'No way!! They're just sitting there like that?! Those are all... Nomu!' He thought as he continued to scan the room. This had the two shaken in fear. They got off of their friend's' shoulders and filled them in on what they saw.

Meanwhile inside the villains hideout...

"Master? Did I hear right? I thought you were the boss around here! Pretty disappointing..." Katsuki sneered.

Things were starting to get intense. The atmosphere was completely different from earlier, it now felt hostile. All this rising tension was starting to give you some anxiety but seeing as this wasn't the time or place, you just tried your best to ignore it.

'Not now... don't break now, (Y/n). Not now!' You thought as you tried to convince yourself that it was nothing.

"Kurogiri, Compress... let's put him to sleep again." Shigaraki spoke.

"I can't believe he's such a bad listener. I'm almost impressed." Mr. Compress sighed before walking forward.

"If you want me to listen to you, then get on your knees and die!" Katsuki barked.

'I wanna blast them away with my full power, but that warp guy is bound to be trouble... on top of that I still haven't figured out how I'm gonna bust (Y/n) out of those chains... dammit, she's making this more complicated then it already is and she's not even doing shit!! I have to think!!'

Katsuki tried his hardest to come up with a fast plan but nothing! Then, you suddenly shouted at him.

"KATSUKI, BLAST THEM!" You demanded.

He wasn't hesitant to follow through, as he hit Mr. Compress & Kurogiri with a powerful blow! Suddenly, you jumped by his side and got ready to fight.

"(Y/n)?! How the fuck did you escape?!" He questioned, confused.

"Vodka! I'll explain later, now is not the time!" You answered before grabbing his hand and making a break for the door. Then, you stopped as you heard a knock.

"Hello, Kamino Pizza Delivery~" sang a voice from the other side of the door.

Immediately after, All Might came busting through the wall like the Kool-Aid guy!

"What the-?!"

"Kurogiri, warp us!" Shigaraki demanded.

"Preemptive binding... LACQUERED CHAIN PRISON!!" Kamui Woods shouted as he came swooping in the building, binding the villains with his quirk.

"Wood, huh?! Like this could hold..." Dabi started as he tried to use his quirk to free himself. He was interrupted as some old man came flying in and kicked him in the face.

You watched in amazement and shock, as everything unfolded right before your very eyes.

"There's no escape for you, League of Villains! Why, you ask?" All Might started as he got up.

"Because... We are here!!" He finished with his heroic, hope-serving voice.

"It's All Might...! Right after the press conference, though? They timed this!" Mr. Compress gasped.

"This tree guy knows how to pull, for sure! And push!" Twice yelped.

"One must never neglect defence... especially when attacking..." someone started.

The door was opened and in came the pro hero, Edgeshot, with some armed guys following behind. "Kamino Pizza is more than just those of us here." He mentioned.

"Young Bakugo, Young (L/n), I'm glad you two are okay. Must've been scary... good job holding out!" All Might complimented before placing a hand each on both your shoulders.

"Sca- Scary?! As if! We almost had 'em!!" Katsuki stuttered.

'Did he just say "we"? As in BOTH of us?'

All Might chuckled at the strangely awkward boy before walking over to Shigaraki.

"So... Vodka?" Katsuki started.

"Sshhh! There's too many adults around!" You hushed before giggling.

"Whatever... let's just be glad you didn't get your mouth sewn closed, especially after all that shit you were spitting." He huffed.

"No regrets." You retorted before smiling like an idiot.

"Stupid."

It was quiet between you two for a moment before he spoke again.

"How are you holding up right now?" He suddenly asked.

"What?" You questioned, confused at his sudden concerns.

"Your injuries. You said your ribs were killing you or some shit."

"Um... They still are, I can tolerate it though... Sadly, I got used to the pain." You shrugged.

'Is he actually concerned about me?'

This sudden behaviour from Katsuki caught you off guard. Why the sudden change? Is it just because of the situation or was it something else? You had a feeling you knew the reason, but didn't want to assume anything... The questions left your head as soon as you heard Shigaraki start mumbling.

"After all our scheming and plotting... the final boss goes and shows up on our doorstep..."

"No use, then... We're not the only ones you gotta worry about."

You & Katsuki looked over to the villain and saw that sinister smile plastered on his face. It was the last thing you saw before hearing his voice ring through your ears.

"Kurogiri, BRING 'EM ALL OVER TO PLAY!!" He shouted.

Silence... Shigaraki looked over to Kurogiri, wondering why nothing was happening.

"I'm sorry, Tomura Shigaraki... But the Nomu set aside for us... they're gone!!" Kurogiri announced.

"Looks like you've still got a lot to learn, Shigaraki." All Might smirked.

"Huh?!"

"Your little league has gone and taken some things too lightly... like this boy's indomitable spirit or this young lady's hard shell. And, the relentless police investigation." He continued.

"Your mischief has gone on long enough. It ends here, Tomura Shigaraki!!"

"Hohoho, he's gonna get his ass beat..." you grinned before rubbing your hands together.

Back to the others...

Mt. Lady had just finished smashing the building, as Best Jeanist restrained some Nomu with his threads. In the building, they found Ragdoll, who was unconscious.

"Ragdoll! Come on, talk to me!!" Tiger cried.

"Your teammate? Looks like she's breathing so that's a relief." Gang Orca added, reassuring them.

"But look at her... she's... What did they do to you? Ragdoll!!" He shouted.

"The pros... they're all here..." Izuku gasped, peeking over the wall they were behind.

"Does that mean... They're saved?" Kirishima questioned.

"I'd like to hope so." Todoroki retorted.

"We should leave now. There's nothing left for us to do." Iida suggested as he exhaled a sigh of relief.

"They mentioned "All Might's Team"... that must be where Kacchan and (Y/n) are." Midoriya started.

"If All Might is there, then we really have nothing to worry about!! So let's hurry and..." Momo's reassuring voice died down as she saw something or someone move inside the warehouse.

"Sorry, Tiger, But I've had my eye on her quirk for a while... It was just too good, I had to have it." Spoke an unfamiliar voice.

Everyone looked to where the voice was coming from. "Stop, not another step!" Gang Orca replied, as he questioned who it was lurking inside the dark.

"Someone get a light over here..." Tiger requested.

"Ever since I was reduced to this... I haven't been able to stock up as many before..."

The stranger took one step outside of the dark and as soon as he did, Best Jeanist activated his quirk and tied him up.

"Jeanist! What if he's just a civilian?" Mt. Lady shrieked.

"Use your head. A moment's hesitation could allow the enemy to turn the tables on us. We mustn't allow a villain to pull any tricks..." he replied.

Suddenly, a huge explosion went off! After that was nothing but silence.

"Tomura's only just learned to think for himself, to carve his own path forward... So if possible, I'd like to keep anyone from interfering with that."

The students didn't even have time to look back as it was the work of an instant. What happened didn't even take a second! Unfortunately, that second and the person's unsettling voice was all it took to strike fear in the young teenager's souls. The aura the stranger was radiating, gave them images of death...

Midoriya puffed out his cheeks, as if he were trying to stop himself from barfing.

'He's talking about Tomura Shigaraki!! No way... It can't be. All Might... Don't tell me that... That's All for One!!' He thought

"Well... Shall we begin?"
