xxiv. Kamino Ward
The news hit the world like a truck, some hurt more than others.
UA student, Katsuki Bakugou, kidnapped.
Pro Hero, Ragdoll, missing.
UA Quirk trainer, Lightbringer, kidnapped.
Aizawa was shaken, and he was shaken up bad. His students were hurt, with many in comas in the hospital, some with more so severe injuries, and then the successful kidnapping of another.
And to top it all off, they took her, too.
"Damnit!" Aizawa screamed, his fist plummeting into the wall of the teachers lounge.
"Shouta..." Kayama and Yamada didn't know what to say, but they did know what to do.
As the two heroes pulled Aizawa into a hug, they felt the man's tense muscles loosen ever so slightly.
"Eraserhead, the press conference is in an hour." The Principal informed as he walked into the lounge, seeing the rather painful sight.
"I know it must be hard, but this conference is your responsibility now. While the rest of the heroes perform the operation." Nezu was trying to be optimistic, but he knew his words weren't truly helping. Aizawa would have to go out there and claim full responsibility for absolutely everything that had happened, because his words allowed the students to fight back, because he knew that they, the teachers, wouldn't be able to save them on their own.
And even then, with the students fighting, they lost.
Inhaling deeply, Aizawa separated himself from Kayama and Yamada and left the room, going to prepare for the conference.
Going home, the teacher shut and locked his door before going to his bedroom and grabbing his nicest suit.
He paused as he turned around, his eyes now locked on his messy bed, one that was never straightened up before he and [L/n] left for camp.

"Lightbringer!" All Might yelled, watching as the woman's body erected from one of the concrete tubs, her body dripping with an unknown liquid and wires. Her body was nude, face blank, almost like that of a robot.
"And may I introduce the newest addition to the League, Lightbringer." The smirk on All For One's face was one to be afraid of, one that everyone watching on tv feared, despite their distance.
"Oi, Lightbringer!" Bakugou yelled, still defending himself as the League of Villains were still trying to kidnap him. "Put on some fucking clothes!" Despite his own words, he knew, he knew deep down that it wasn't really Lightbringer. But if he could pretend it was, then maybe, just maybe she would be. Right?
"Help get Bakugou." As those words left All For One's mouth, Bakugou's eyes widened in absolute horror as the woman who was responsible for training him, who was only involved in any of this because of him, came after him with the most emotionless look on her face.
And she wasn't there to help him.
"Lightbringer! Stop this nonsen—!" All Might cried out, but was cut off as All For One attacked him. No matter how many plans All Might could think of, none would be able to defeat All For One as well save Bakugou.
Bakugou couldn't fight back, so he avoided each and every attack the woman shot at him. Or rather, each and every motion she made to grab him. Bakugou was slightly surprised that the woman wasn't using her Quirk, but it also gave him hope that she was still in there somewhere, fighting herself mentally as to not hurt the young ash blonde boy.
Though her nudity made it really hard for him to look at her. What the hell am I supposed to do!?
✄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
Aizawa hated the press conference from the depths of his soul, but he knew it had to be done. It wrapped up quicker than he thought it would and soon, both himself and other UA staff members were back in the teachers lounge. Nezu immediately turned on the television, and what appeared caused Aizawa's heart to stop.
All Might fighting All For One; Lightbringer fighting Bakugou.
"Shouta..." Yamada spoke softly, gently placing one of his hands on his friends shoulder. The black haired man's body was as rigid as it could possibly be, his teeth grit so tight the others were afraid they would crack.
"Son of a bitch!" Aizawa screamed. He hated it, he hated it so, so, so much. From the depths of his soul, every fiber of his being, the entirety of his life force, every ounce of what he stood for, hated it. The blank look on her face, the disrespect shown by the fact she wasn't even dressed, and to have her go after one of her own students, it wasn't right.
He was trembling with anger, so much so that none of the fellow UA teachers and staff in the room were willing to approach him or say anything, the closest any of them got was the fact that Yamada had a hand placed on his shoulder. The group of UA staff members glued their eyes to the screen in horror as [L/n] managed to grab Bakugou.
✄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
"Bakugou!" All Might's voiced boomed before he himself was sent flying into a building. "I give you permission to fight! Fight Lightbringer!"
Bakugou reacted immediately, blasting the woman with an explosion. He, too, hated this whole thing. One part he hated especially, was that he had to look at her to fight her, and he didn't like seeing her nude. Damnit, why me!?
"Oi, Lightbringer! Get your head out of your ass, would you!? Actually, just put on some damn clothes! I wouldn't mind fighting you if you weren't fucking naked!" Bakugou roared, blasting himself away from her.
"Hm, I should've thought about that." All For One commented, "That's my honest mistake. Lightbringer, still."
Bakugou wanted to throw up, watching as [L/n] just obeyed the man's words as she stopped moving and just stood there, he hated it. She looked like a puppet. All Might and Bakugou watched as All For One forcefully activated the near-dead Best Jeanists Quirk, fabric going towards the woman's body and wrapping around her, putting her in a jean dress that was just above the knee, the sleeves barely going below her shoulders.
She didn't even look down at her clothing, having absolutely no response to anything besides what she was told to do by All For One himself. "I wove some strands of your hair into that, so it shouldn't burn when you activate your Quirk." The man commented, knowing that she didn't acknowledge a word he said. After all, it wasn't a command.
"Get Bakugou."
[L/n] launched herself towards Bakugou once again, but her movements were quicker and more precise, as if she were more motivated to get him now than she was before. Bakugou had come to the realization that the more time went on, the more steadfast she got under his commands.
"What did they do to you, huh!?" He yelled, hoping for a response. But of course, that response never came.
✄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
"Shouta, what are you doing!?" Kayama and Yamada yelled as the man began running out of the teachers lounge, only being stopped by his friends grabbing him from behind.
"For years, years, she saved my ass when I didn't ask for her to, when I told her I didn't need it! [F/n] has always been there for me! What kind of friend, what kind of partner would I be if I didn't help her when she needs it the most!?" The hero had snapped.
"Shouta, this is All For One! And on top of that, her Quirk is the worst possible matchup for you!" Yamada yelled, not wanting his dearest friend to possibly get himself killed.
"If she can almost get bitten in half by a nomu, I can deal with a sunburn and some blindness!" He ripped himself free from the two and left, heading quickly towards Kamino by using his capture scarf as a mean of transportation.
Kayama and Yamada were going to go after him, tackle him to the ground to stop him, but they knew they couldn't stop him. They also knew, that they stood no chance against One For All or the turned Lightbringer.
✄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
Bakugou was trying not to hurt his teacher, he wouldn't mind fighting her, but not like this. He'd much rather fight her as herself. "C'mon, get it together!"
She was silent, showing no visual or verbal response to anything Bakugou said. Her attacks became more vicious and the boy found himself struggling in more ways than one. There was no one who could help him, All Might was all tied up, Best Jeanist appeared to be dead.
He was alone, fighting against an atomic bomb.
"Can't you hear me at all!?" He screamed as he set off an explosion in her direction, but she dodged it with far too much ease for his liking. Things worsened as the members of the League joined back in, making the boy have to defend himself not just against Lightbringer anymore, but her and the League.
Then, backup arrived in the form of Endeavor.
His mental was shattered, because he knew, he knew that he wouldn't be able to help against All For One, because he knew he wasn't strong enough. But there was a matter that dare he say was more important, rescuing the kid fighting against both villains and hero.
The world was watching.
All Might's battle with All For One raged on as Endeavor went to save Bakugou, though things wouldn't go as planned. [L/n] stopped her focus on Bakugou, leaving him to the League as she now went face-to-face with Endeavor, not allowing him near the boy whatsoever.
"I don't know what the hell they did to you, [L/n], but you're a hero, not a villain." Endeavor spoke, hoping words would reach but was swiftly shown they wouldn't as she activated her Quirk, illuminating the entire area in a treacherously bright, hot light.
The Flame Hero rushed her, eyes squinted and taking the brute force of heat and light without hesitation, having no real choice. He briefly managed to get his hands on her, his palms sizzling against her flesh.
Battle waged on, and it was ugly. All Might struggled against All For One, the world fearing for the worst, while Endeavor and Lightbringer clashed, the woman being unnaturally stronger than she was before, something that he was sure came from whatever atrocities they'd done to her. The only good thing was that Bakugou, via his classmates, was able to make it away.
Aizawa himself had managed to show up, and despite his courage and determination and how badly he wanted to help her, the man found himself paralyzed in fear. Watching [L/n] battle with no restrictions, even if she'd been changed in someway, was absolutely horrifying. The ground in that area had been melting, and even buildings in the general vicinity were facing the same fate.
Endeavor was still physically stronger than her, that hadn't changed. But she was faster, and her Sun was hotter than what he imagined Hell felt like.
What Aizawa then witnessed, made his blood run cold.
Endeavor made advancements, pushing past how his eyes burned, the heat his body felt that was much hotter than he'd ever felt from his own Quirk, the feeling of his own flesh cooking and charring. If the Sun wasn't bad enough, the other Quirk, the one unknown to anyone except for Enji and Shoto, came into play.
"Hah!? You think adding a little fire's gonna hurt me!?" He yelled, a dangerous smirk on his face. "I trained you on how to use those Flames, Lightbringer!"
Within the next few minutes, everything would come to an end.
All Might's battle with All For One would come to a close, and he would win.
Endeavor's battle against Lightbringer would wage on, until the League began to make their exit. Because Lightbringer went to leave with them.
All Might was in no state to try and stop her, the man could barely stand and was in his small, now permanent form.
Endeavor however, persisted. Just as she was about to step foot through the Warp Gate, he grabbed her by the back of her neck to yank her back. Immediately, she activated her Sun, causing his palm to immediately sizzle.
The League couldn't fight over her, they all knew that they couldn't grab her. Just being near her as she activated her Quirk had them immediately getting as far as possible. She couldn't be taken, not now. The last thing Enji heard from any of them was, "This isn't over."
With one hand on the back of her neck, he wrapped his other arm around her waist and pulled her fully out of the Warp Gate, watching as it shut. Her quirk remained on, but Enji didn't let go as he wrapped his whole frame around her. His body was burning hotter, hotter than his own flames could ever make him feel. Only after far too long did she deactivate her Quirk, proceeding to stand lifelessly. Doing absolutely nothing as she, in her mindless, shell-of-a-person state, had no task anymore.
Almost the entirety of his hero costume had been burned off, revealing seared and even charred skin beneath. As he got her, though gently, pinned to the ground, he and All Might exchanged knowing glances.
They won, but they also lost.

This story has heavily made me want to write an Endeavor x reader, so uh, that's coming soon now :)
