Villains' temporary base, Afternoon...

Third Person's POV

A pain-filled hisses escaped Haruka's throat as he tried to sit up himself. His teeth gritted in madness. 'How dare that brat use her Quirk on me..!!' He swiftly stood up and stomped off toward Mio.

The teenage girl was about to run away when Haruka appeared in front of her. It turned out he had used the mirror shard laying on the floor to teleport instantly in front of her.

The villain grabbed a full fish of her hair, tugging her hard. Mio cried in agony while trying to loosen his grip on her hair. "You are... SUCH A PAIN!" The aqua blue-haired man hurled her to the floor brutally before stepping his foot on her body.

"You are really an ungrateful brat... You betrayed the league and ran away to live a luxurious life with those damn rich people." Haruka ranted incoherently and stomped on her again. Mio began to cough violently, tears of frustration flowed down from her eyes.

"The League kindly offered a place for us to stay... They fed us, they treated us nicely. But you disgraced yourself by betraying Master!!!" Haruka kicked the poor girl's stomach strongly, causing her to cough blood.

"T-that old man had done nothing but t-torture me..." Mio managed out weakly. Her arm stretched out toward Haruka's leg. She gripped his ankle but she was instantly kicked in the face by him.

"Don't touch me with that filthy hands of yours... Traitor." The evilman rasped out as he stepped on her head.

"Why can't... You realize it...? The league... Shigaraki... That scarred bald man... They are only using you for their own selfishness—" Her sentence was cut off when he gave her a stronger kick in the face.

"Don't you dare to insult Master All For One like that!" Haruka roared angrily at the female victim. Mio just gritted her teeth frustratedly.

'Don't use that Quirk, Mio... Don't use... That Quirk... Remember your vow... No matter the situation is, you vowed not to use that Quirk...!' Her azure eyes glowed bright red out of the blue. However, she returned to normal the instant she regained her sense.

Haruka was exasperated. Deep down inside, he wanted to annihilate this girl's existence already. But knowing that Tomura needed Mio for his malicious purpose, he resisted.

"Tch, you are so pathetic." Haruka lifted his foot off of her face, glaring dagger at the injured girl mercilessly. He walked out of the room and locked the door.

Mio shakily got up. Her body was aching so painfully. But the worst pain she felt was on her face. Crystal liquid trickled down her pale cheeks.

"Big bro.."

'Why can't you realize it? Why can't you see the truth? Why did you keep walking the wrong path, full of lies and deceit? You will only make yourself suffer in the end...' She sobbed sorrowfully as she hugged herself. Her whole being was trembling heavily.

'If only... I could save him...back then..'

Meanwhile,
Outside the villains' base...

Monoma's POV

We had surrounded the League of Villains' temporary base. Izuku was the one who led this special operation to apprehend these criminals... And rescue Mio-chan.

It could be the villain who freed these prisoners is in here too.

Curse you! We won't let you slip away from our grasp!

Izuku stepped forward, looking very serious and determined. I kept my gaze at her, admiring her strong-willed determination.

No wonder she is the next candidate to be the Symbol of Peace.

"Mio-chan, Yana-san... We are coming for you now..." I whispered to myself, balling my palm into full fist.

Midoriya's POV

"Yosh, let's ambush them!" I declared loudly and the polices readied themselves in fighting stance. I ran forward when my foot stepped on something...

A mirror.

I paid no attention to it since this place was a run-down barn. Everything was broken and shattered.

But I was wrong for underestimating the situation.

I suddenly felt like my body fell into a deep hole. "AHH!" A scream slipped from my lips. I heard my friends calling for me.

What the—? What happened?!

My body landed on a hard, solid ground. I groaned in pain as I held my throbbing head.

"You are so careless for someone who is expected to be the next Symbol of Peace." A familiar voice spoke up out of the blue. I raised my head up, and I was horrified by this unpredictable view. My sidekick... Haru-kun was standing before me!

"Ha-Haru-kun? What are you... Doing here?" I asked briefly as soon as I stood up. I was still stupefied by his sudden appearance. What was he doing here— or more importantly, why did he drag me into the mirror world?!

"Are you that stupid to grasp the situation?" Haru-kun mocked, his voice filled with sinister and amusement. "Huh? What are you talking about?" I was perplexed. I had no idea on what he was rambling about!

"Wow, in just one month, you changed from a very observant heroine to a pig brain idiot?" Haru-kun laughed from the top of his lungs which enraged me. "That is rude, Haru-kun! What has gotten into you?!" I scolded my sidekick in pure anger.

What is wrong with him? He has never acted this way before—

"I see... Gosh, you really trusted me, don't you? No wonder you are acting like a big dork." Haru-kun stepped closer to me and I backed down each time he was nearer.

"Ha... Haru-kun... Y-you are scaring me! Why are you— Ah!" I whimpered when he shoved me to the ground. Haru-kun then towered over my body and pinned my wrists above my head.

"You are such an idiot... But I don't hate that part of yours..." He husked into my ear, his warm breath brushed my skin. I shut my eyes close, resisting the urge to moan.

"Haru...kun... W-why are you... What is the meaning of this...?" I managed out my question in disbelief. He was acting differently. His personality was all over the place—

Hold on...

My encounter with the Rikita...

Haru-kun in coma...

Toga and the league escaped from the prison...

Mio-chan's kidnapping...

It can't be... It can't be...!!

"That look on your face. I guess you have put the pieces together. Looks like there is no need for me to explain." Haru-kun chuckled darkly. His left hand moved to roam my body.

"No way... Haru-kun..." I was on the verge of crying... For real. I couldn't hold back my feelings anymore.
"Yes... It's hard to believe, right? Your sidekick is actually a spy of your arch enemies... League of Villains." He whispered before licking the shell of my ear. I squirmed beneath him to free myself from his firm grips.

Since when... Did he is so strong?!

Ugh... I have no choice anymore!

I activated One For All all over my body... But nothing happened!

Wait, what? What is happening? Why can't I use my Quirk?

"Give up. You can't use your super strength anymore. I have sealed your Quirk." I was startled after Haru-kun told me that. He lifted his head up from me and stared at my face with his sapphire blue eyes.

He sealed my Quirk? But how..?!

"Why, Haru-kun?! Why did you do this to me?! Why... Why did you... Betray...?" I cried out, tears leaked out of my eyes.

"I have never betrayed you. I'm simply a spy of
L.O.V. since my day at U.A.." He revealed his long-hidden secret, shocking me.

Haru-kun leaned closed to my face again. We were only a few inches apart. I could feel my heart pounding faster in my chest.

"No.. No..." I refused to believe everything he said. All this time... I was deceived? I was lied by him?

His smiles... His laughter... The memories we created together... The time I spent with him...

Everything...

...was an act...?

"I feel bad for involving you in this, so I hope... By showing you how I truly feel... You will forgive me..."

Suddenly, his lips connected with mine. I was caught off guard by his surprising action. The tears in my eyes spilled out more.

Why...

Why did you betray me?
