Izuku sat in the common room, staring blankly into space. She had been right there and he was completely useless, just like he'd always been.

  The police had confirmed that Shigaraki was still securely locked up in Tartarus, which meant that the League was acting under a new leader.

  Or at least, the real leader had stepped out of the shadows.

  Izumi had been their target, although nobody but Izuku, Nezu and All Might knew why.

  The first thing Izuku had done when they returned to UA was punch the skinny blonde's stupid face.

  "You get her back." He'd said. "You get Izumi back, even if he kills you."

  Yagi senior had nodded, but remained silent, staring at the ground with regret in his eyes.

  It's too late for you to start feeling regret.

  Ochako sat down on his right, sliding her hand into his metal one.

  "Izuku?" She asked. "I'm sure she'll be okay. Izumi's strong, plus they've got most of the top ten searching for her. Your dad and Izumi's parents are also helping. The league won't know what hit them, not with an angry Mr Aizawa after them!"

  Izuku snorted, resting his head on Ochako's shoulder.

  "Thanks Ochako." He clicked.

  The rest of the class eventually came down from their rooms, despite the late hour.

  "What's everybody doing up?" Ochako asked curiously.

  Iida held up his phone.

  "Mr Aizawa messaged each of us, telling us to converge in the common room and turn on the news."

  Kaminari picked up the remote and turned on the television, switching channels until Aizawa, Nezu and Vlad king came on screen. Izuku narrowed his eyes in confusion.

  Dad hates the press with a passion.. and he wouldn't be caught dead in a suit and tie, or with a tidied appearance. He even shaved! Something's going on...

  The rest of the class sat on the various sofas and armchairs around the common room, muttering to eachother in low, confused voices.

  "What is the school doing in order to rescue the kidnapped student, Izumi Yagi?" A reporter asked.

  "Both UA and the heroes involved are doing everything in their power to locate the villains. We have no doubt that we will find them and bring back miss Yagi." Nezu replied.

  "But isn't this the third time your students have been attacked by the same villain group? How can the parents of the children attending UA trust you to keep their children safe?"

  "Thanks to the efforts of one of our students, the leader of the League was arrested and another villain has been forced to take the role. We are confident that the rest of the League's members will follow Shigaraki into custody, and neither the students nor their parents will need to worry." Aizawa said.

  The interview went on for another few minutes before ending, leaving the students a little shocked.

  "Man, the reporters really went after Mr Aizawa huh?"

  "No wonder he hates the media so much."

  A few minutes after the conference ended, Aizawa entered the dormitory still in his suit, but with the tie loosened and his hair no longer pulled back.

  "You should wear your hair back more often. You looked presentable for once." Izuku quipped.

  Iida gasped in indignation, while Aizawa just lightly karate chopped his son's head.

  "Mind your manners brat. I'm gorgeous." He said, earning chuckles from the class.

  Izuku glanced sideways at the hero.

  "So, do you know how the raid is coming along?" He asked innocently.

  Dadzawa sighed, pulling his sleeve back to glance at his watch.

  "I should have known you'd guess. It started maybe ten minutes ago."

  Izuku nodded in satisfaction.

  "Good. Hopefully Yagi got off of his ass and is doing something useful for once in his life."

  Aizawa just grunted in acknowledgement, leaning on the back of the sofa. The television buzzed, cutting off the channel playing in the background, switching to a screen that said EMERGENCY BROADCAST.

  The class looked on in confusion, while the Aizawas tensed. This could not be good.

  "It's destruction on a scale we've never seen before! The entirety of Kamino Ward has been obliterated by a single attack! The villain responsible appears to be the new leader of the League of Villains, who is going toe to toe with All Might, who seems to be struggling!" A man shouted desperately within a helicopter.

  The class stared wide eyed at the screen as All Might was tossed about by the villain with ease. Izumi could be seen not too far away from the two titans, doing everything in her power to just keep away from the other members of the league who were trying to capture her.

  All Might and All for One stopped fighting for a moment. All for One was gesturing, obviously the one doing the talking. All Might roared in anger and moved to strike the villain, but was blown back by a huge shockwave.

  All for One's fingers extended into red claws, streaking across the battlefield to sink themselves into Kurogiri's prone body. The villain jerked, and a portal of purple mist swirled into existence above him.

  "Some kind of.. forced quirk activation? But he was making shockwaves! Is he some kind of Nomu??" Mina exclaimed.

  "That." Izuku said, earning his classmate's attention. Aizawa also turned to his son, curiosity in his eyes. "Is All for One. He is only known by his quirk's title, which is considered the pinnacle of all powers. He can give and take quirks at will, using them to further his own goals. He is All Might's nemesis, and is after Izumi's quirk. If he gets it, it's game over for everyone."

  "How many quirks does he have?" Kaminari asked nervously.

  Izuku just shrugged.

  "Nobody but All for One knows. He's been around for hundreds of years thanks to some kind of longevity quirk, so he's got plenty of both power and experience. Your grandparent's grandparents were children when he was old."

  Aizawa frowned. He had a whole two days to take Izumi's quirk while they had captured her. So why didn't he already have it?

  "What do you think All Might's chances are against someone with multiple quirks?" Hagakure asked.

  Izuku opened his mouth to answer, but choked on something in his throat. A thick black sludge spewed from his mouth, making everyone but Ochako and Aizawa recoil in disgust.

  "Everyone, get back!!" Aizawa yelled. "Izuku, what is that?"

  Izuku glanced at the television. Identical black goo was swirling on the scarred battlefield, a little distance away from All for One and All Might. The rest of the league were gone, as was Kurogiri's forced warpgate. Gran Torino was there, scowling at the villain. Izumi was watching the swirling goop worriedly.

  "Portal. All for One." He clicked hurriedly.

  Aizawa glanced at the TV, then back to Izuku who was still spewing gunk.

  "I give you permission to use your quirk. Get Izumi and get out of there. Only engage All for One if it's absoloutely necessary! Do you understand me?" He said.

  Izuku have a thumbs up as the goop began to consume him from the feet upwards. As a last minute thought he reached down, plucking his mask from the coffee table. He looked back up, meeting Ochako's eyes. He smiled as the black liquid consumed him, then fell away, revealing the shattered battlefield that used to be Kamino Ward.

  "There All Might, your greatest failure is here to watch as i-"

  Izuku slipped his mask on, glancing at All for One.

  "Hi Izumi. Hey Ass Might. Nice to meet you All for Bitch. I'm Izuku Midoriya."

  The teen cracked his knuckles.

  "And I'm here to kick your ass."
