|11|Start The Fire|

~O~

After the 'session' as Kurogiri called it, Midoriya was glad he was used to immense amounts of pain because because it felt like his head was going to explode any moment after All For One took Todoroki's quirk.

'Get used to it...' The green head thought as he clutched his head in both of his hands. Well, at least he knew how much it's going to hurt each time so he could mentally prepare himself for it, considering the fact that the villain would take another quirk from him which he was supposed to get today. Finally getting rid of that sudden dizziness, Midoriya stood up and started walking towards the door.

Just then,

"And one more thing, young man..." All For One's words stopped him in his tracks as he slowly around to see him face-to-face.

"... Yes?" Midoriya asked, standing straight with his hands locked behind his back.

"I have some questions for you," All For One said. He wanted to double check on the boy's true intentions, so turning on a quirk that allowed him to see through someone's words, he began, "Say, would you take a life?" The villain didn't have to wait long for an answer.

"Depends." Midoriya replied right away. True.

So he would kill if it was necessary. That's a good start.

"What are your motives?" All For One asked.

"Defeating my enemy, protecting my allies." Midoriya replied, his face was stern. Yet another clear truth.

All For One smirked, "And who are your allies?"

"I joined sides with you, didn't I?" Midoriya replied. Well, that was obvious. The villain chuckled, "And what about UA?"

Midoriya replied, "UA's in for a surprise..."

"You are a smart boy, Midoriya. I know you have your own scheme going in your head. It is good to know, you're not against us. For now." All For One stated, "Anyhow, I would like to see something interesting marking your win, say, something with your enemy."

"Something interesting with my enemy?" Midoriya repeated. Okay, he did not expect this. He didn't know All For One was going to give him ideas if he succeeded to gain his trust. Or was the villain trying to drive out something else, like his true motives. Regardless, the green head decided to keep his guard up.

All For One continued, "You know, as I like to say, the crueler the better. So?"

Midoriya pondered for a while, or tried to appear that he was thinking about what the villain asked him for. While what he really thinking was something that would be true, fitting to his plan and wouldn't bring any harm to his dear, good 'assumed enemies'.

Suddenly, he hit an idea. The green haired boy smirked as he addressed the villain, "How about something you've never seen before?"

"Oh? Sounds interesting. What might that be?"

"I'll make it rain blood."

True.

That statement was so very oddly true.

Though the boy didn't specify whose blood would be raining. Or how he would do that. Yet it was true. Something that was destined to happen. And All For One couldn't wait to see it happen.

In his eyes, Midoriya walked out of that room as a villain.

No longer a hero.

~O~

Back at the dormitories, in Yaoyorozu's room,

"Endeavor got the case faster than expected. The journal says he was supposed to figure out tomorrow. But guess he beat us to it." Shinsou said, looking at the notebook in his hands.

"We were told to attack tomorrow evening, but if we wait for that long, I believe there won't be any use to it. We'll have to go today." Yaoyorozu added on.

"I'll message the ones we'll be taking. But," Jirou said, "How are we going to follow Endeavor if Nezu told him to take it as an undercover mission? We weren't told anything about the place either."

"Well, we don't have Mr. Number one hero's son right across the hallway for nothing." Shinsou smirked, pointing at the door.

The two girls merely nodded as Jirou started texting the selected ones for the 'attack' and Yaoyorozu headed towards Todoroki's dorm room with Shinsou.

~O~

Peeking from the roof of the tall building of the city of Tokyo, Shigaraki searched the quiet streets that went along between the buildings. It was fifteen minutes past eleven in the morning.

The plan was to look for a guy in his twenties, red short hair and get his quirk with the help of Midoriya. That person would be lured in by Giran, the League's own broker, at any time now. All he had to do was focus and take note on where they would appear and also to make sure that there would be absolutely no one around except for just them.

Shigaraki sighed.

"Hey, Shigaraki,"

The only problem was that he himself had to deal with Midoriya.

"Are you listening? Hey?"

And he was so goddamn annoying right now.

"What the hell do you want, brat?" Shigaraki asked, completely annoyed.

"C'mon? Seriously? I thought we were on good terms since we made that deal about All For One's inju—!"

"Yeah. Yeah. Good terms, whatever. Just don't mention that." Shigaraki asked, sighing, "What do you want?"

Midoriya meekly asked, "I was just asking; what kind of quirk are we here for? I mean, All For One didn't give me much details... About this."

Shigaraki groaned before replying, "As far as I know, it's a multiplier. I'm pretty sure you know the rest about it."

As a reply, Midoriya cheekily nodded and started looking down in the alleys as well.

"So, do you like Ohagi?"

"What does that have anything to do wi—!"

Just then, the duo noticed Giran walking in a back alley with a redhead they were informed about. Shigaraki signalled Midoriya as soon as Giran brought the man to a dead end. The green haired boy took the hint and jumped down using One For All and tried to land a hit on the redhead who — as anticipated — used his quirk against Midoriya's attack.

Done.

Midoriya got the quirk.

The two boys retreated immediately with Kurogiri's help — Shigaraki called him. While Giran took care of their victim.

~O~

"So let me get this straight," Todoroki said looking at Shinsou and Yaoyorozu as all three of them were seen standing in his room. "You want me to lead you guys right behind my old man on an undercover mission to rescue Midoriya from an unknown villain hideout?"

"Midoriya can be in some serious danger, Todoroki..."

The hetrochromatic boy sighed, "Who else is coming?"

"Oh, it's just me, you, Shinsou and a few others." Yaoyorozu replied with a small thankful smile.

And so, about seven students from both Class-1-A and Class-1-B prepared for their 'attack' tonight. As far as the location of the hideout was concerned, Todoroki was added in so they could easily get an access to Endeavor's number, track it and follow him to the hideout.

These students included; Shinsou, Yaoyorozu, Todoroki, Monoma, Komori, Shiozaki and Kaibara.

While, these seven would be gone for their leader's rescue, Jirou would create a distraction for them.

Hopefully, things would go according to the plan eben if they were moving out a day earlier...

~O~

Endeavor found Best Jeanist literally moments before Dabi. It was half an hour past four now, they were in Yokohama city. The moment the flame hero's eyes landed on Best Jeanist, the exact same moment he spotted Dabi entering through a warp gate.

The flame hero hid himself as he observed Dabi's moves. According to the journal, the only way to get to the new villain hideout was to follow two villains; Dabi and Kurogiri. Now that Endeavor had found Dabi, he left the case of Kurogiri in Hawks' hands about an hour ago. Hopefully, the winged hero would've found his prey until now.

And as if on cue, he received a message from the younger hero as a signal that he had found Kurogiri and now he was creating warp gates for Dabi.

At this, Endeavor looked back at where Dabi was only to notice that the villain was carrying an unconscious Best Jeanist in front of a warp gate, probably going back to the hideout.

When it was confirmed that no one was in sight, Endeavor called Hawks, "He took him. Send me your location. Now."

"Roger!" Hawks replied through his communication device.

Soon, the new number one got the location and immediately moved out for it. They were putting a student's and a Pro Hero's life at risk for something they didn't have a clear idea of... They had to hurry.

Unknown to him, while he was following Dabi, a small group of seven students was following him.

~O~

Now, around six, Dabi was back at the villains hideout with an unconscious Best Jeanist.

Though the villain did know that he was being followed and so was Kurogiri, he wasn't that very much concerned about it. He got his job done and wasn't in the mood for a fight so he just left the rest of the work to the other villains.

Now, in the underground lab, Best Jeanist was seen in the metallic chair in which Midoriya was when he received the new quirk. All For One and Midoriya were the only ones that were present in the lab other than the unconscious hero.

And Midoriya was not liking it...

He anticipated that this situation would take another day or so and directed everyone according to that. But now that Dabi did his work earlier, there was an abrupt change in the timeline of his original plan. If Endeavor didn't rush in... Or the seven students at UA didn't rush in now, Midoriya's first plan would be down.

He did have a Plan B, but the first plan had more chances of being truly successful than the other so it would be kind of a gamble if he didn't wait to see if anyone's coming or just straight up shift to Plan B. Immediately shifted to Plan B could clearly cause massive casualties and way too much chaos...

In any case, Midoriya decided that the moment All For One would be about to begin 'the treatment' on Best Jeanist, he would shift to Plan B; which would be a head on battle with the Symbol of Evil in a deserted area away from the population. But realistically speaking, taking All For One to any deserted would be quite a trouble since he was the one who knew more about Midoriya's new quirk. There could be things he was hiding from him. A weakness that he never told the green head just in case. He could die. Best Jeanist could die. If he messed up the coordinates, many civilians could die.

That's why,

That's why he wished a hero would come breaking through the ceiling, sticking to his original plan.

"You don't look excited about this, Midoriya. Got something on your head?" All For One asked, snapping the green haired boy back to reality.

"Oh, well, uhm," Midoriya scratched the back of his neck, "I've never obviously seen how a Nomu is made, so I guess it's only a natural reaction..."

All For One smiled creepily, "Is that so? Well, allow me to demonstrate."

Midoriya gulped as he watched the villain's hand reaching down, nearing the hero's face.

Inches away...

Sweat lined Midoriya's forehead.

Centimeters away...

He was ready to shift to Plan B.























That was until the noises of the mayhem going on the floor above reached them.

All For One immediately retracted his hand and turned around, shocked. Midoriya too held a genuinely shocked expression.

Taking a quick flight up the stairs, both of them stood in the middle of destruction and the debris of the wrecked building. A huge smoky fire on the left side of the building that reached up to the night sky.

On the left, Midoriya saw Endeavor and Hawks.

More than half of the League of Villains were already down; Toga, Twice, Mr. Compress and Dabi.

On the right, there were those seven students clad in their hero costumes.

Shigaraki and Spinner were at the far end of the green head's vision.

"This is it..." Midoriya mumbled underneath his breath.

A huge smirk made it's way to Midoriya's face before he looked up at the sky, extending his arms outwards.

"You guys just started a fire you cannot put out!!!"
