At the police station...

Third Person's POV

"So Midoriya. I heard you got some useful information. Care to tell us everything you know?" Eijiro started the second meeting, his vermilion irises looking straight into Izuku's. The female greenette nodded her head in reconciliation. She stared at her friends' faces one by one.

"The villains were longing to own Mio-chan's Quirk." I spelt out the informations I obtained from Nana-san. And as foreseen, my friends were pretty much appalled by the news.

"Quirk? Not because of money or revenge or something else?" Denki voiced out his puzzlement, his mind still couldn't visualize the villains' objective.

Izuku shook her head, her eyes narrowed in thoughtfulness. "I couldn't discover her Quirk, but I was convinced that it was a strong, dangerous one. That is why the villains are after her." She clenched her shaking hands into firm fists.

"Izuku..." Neito uttered her name inaudibly, feeling the same way as her. He was disheartened by this unfortunate incident too. If only they were there to rescue the Rikita back then...

"There is no use mourning over the loss. Just focus on the present and forget the damn past." Katsuki growled annoyingly when he noticed Izuku was lost in her own thoughts again, mumbliing incoherently under her breath.

"Everyone!" Momo's voice intrude their meeting. All heroes turned to the Everything Hero, hoping for a development in her task.

Momo was tugging a confident smile at her companions. "We have pinpointed their current location, along with that girl!" She proclaimed readily, grinning at the pro heroes. The others had wide smiles on their faces. Izuku was the happiest among them.

"T-thank God! Momo-chan, you are the best! Thank you so much for your hard work!" Izuku was on cloud nine. Just receiving the news was a huge relief to her. "You are welcome. Well then, let's start the preparation. We are going to catch all villains at once for sure!" The black-haired woman encouraged, earning earnest nods from the saviors.

Neito walked up to Izuku and patted her back. " We will definitely save Yana-san and Mio-chan. I promise." He pumped up his fist energetically. Izuku was moved to tears by how passionate he was. She presented him with a warm hug.

"Thanks for being there to support me, Neito." The curly-haired woman whispered into his ear sweetly. "Hey, you disgusting new couple! Stop your lovey-dovey now before I blast you out of this freaking police station!!!" Katsuki cussed in irritation, nauseated by their romantic action.

Izuku and Neito immediately broke apart, embarrassed by the "polite demand".

"Let's go follow them." The ashen blonde-haired hero said before they followed their co-workers...

A few moments later,
Outside the police station...

Midoriya's POV

I stared at my gloved-palm in dead silence, my eyes narrowing in uneasiness. Something just didn't feel right. I knew I was missing a little piece of information regarding this case... But what was it? What was I missing?

Ugh... I have been thinking too much that my head hurt now. I feel dizzy...

"Aura" huh...

When Nana-san mentioned that, I suddenly rememberes something.

I have this nostalgic feeling lingering in me when I first encountered Mio-chan. But it was an unpleasent one...

Where have I met her?

"Deku-chan, are you alright? Your face is very pale." Ochako-chan tapped my shoulder with the tip of her fingers lightly, bringing me back to the real world. "H-huh? Am I?" I turned to the glass window of the police station. Ochako-chan was correct. My face was quite pale.

"Maybe I'm worrying too much..." I made up an excuse only to assure my best friend. But she didn't seem convinced at all. "Deku-chan, I think you should rest, like Monoma-kun said. You look unwell..." She gripped my shoulders gently, trying to get me to retreat myself from this operation.

"No way! I told you, I won't back down no matter what! I will save Mio-chan and catch the villains with my own hands!" I swore solemnly, looking straight into Ochako-chan's chestnut eyes.

Kirishima-kun suddenly breathed out a sigh of defeat. "You are as stubborn as ever, Midoriya. But I have to admit. That spirit of yours is so manly!" He pumped up his fist while displaying his toothy grin. "I respect your passion, Midoriya. Let's work together in this mission!" He exclaimed sincerely. I nodded my head understandingly at my redheaded-friend.

"Pay attention! We are going to ambush them soon enough!" Todoroki-kun declared, catching all polices' and heroes' attention.

Don't worry, Yana-san, Mio-chan! We are coming for you two!

Please hang in there for a little longer!

Meanwhile,
The villains' temporary hideout...

Mio's POV

I bit my kidnapper's hand when he tried to shut me up. He groaned in pain, unwillingly letting me go from his firm hold. "You little brat...!!" He shot a death glare at me but I wasn't scared of it even a little bit.

"I'm not scared of you any more! I have been through a much worse experience than this!" I shouted mockingly at the aquamarine-haired man. I was stupefied when I saw him.

I thought he was in coma.

"Huh? You aren't scared? That is bold of you to exclaim that, little girl." Kagami stood up from his kneeling position, his wide eyes stared into mine like a madman.

I... I can't believe this... I thought he was...

"Why, Kagami-san...? Why are you with the villains?!" I furiously asked the so-called PRO HERO, the so-called sidekick of Deku-san.

Kagami brushed off the dirt on his white pants. He looked at me with those heartless eyes of his. "Isn't it obvious? I'm not a hero from the very beginning. I'm just... Well, a spy for the villains." He clarified, walking closer to me dangerously.

"Step back!" I warned him, my hand shaking from hesitation. To be honest, I didn't want to use my Quirk. But if he took a drastic action...!!

"Oh, are you terrified now? That's what you got for talking big!" Kagami cackled crazily, his hands clenching his stomach. When he regained his sense, he stepped closer and closer to me.

"You can't run away from League of Villains, Mio-chan. It is futile..." He husked out, looking down at me.

I gritted my teeth and reached out my hand to his face. "You ask for this..." My voice darkened at this point. "Hm—"

Before he could even grasp the situation, I blew him up far away from my current location. He was sent flying through the wall.

I barely can control my Quirk.... I can't rely on my power anymore!

Ugh, why did I have to come to this place again?!

This place... Is nothing but a nightmare!

Mama, Papa...

I'm sorry... For involving you two in this...

If only you didn't take me in... You both wouldn't lose your lives!
