1 vs 2

And here we are, at the beginning of the third and final book. And first of all, if you haven't read either of the first two, those being "Class 1-B's Ace," and "MHA in America," please go and read them right now or you will either be spoiled or will have no idea what's happening or who most of the characters are! You've been warned! Also, as I said prior to the release, our first arc is Class vs Class. Some time will have passed since the defeat of the Injustice Squad and let's just say some characters have used that time better than others. Specifically, our villains. Yes, as teased at the very end of MHA in America, I am reintroducing the League of Villains. And with them now entering the fray, things have become more critical than ever. When everything comes together, you'd best hold on to your favourite character as tight as possible. No one is safe. Now, let's kick off this final book of the trilogy! Enjoy, everyone!


"Tired of all those messes that villains leave after they've had their little tantrums!? Or are you just sick of the mess your dog makes after it rips up your child's favourite stuffed animal!? Well have we got the product for you!" A voice over a commercial said as it showed the image of a small white metallic box. A man then walked on screen, dressed in a black business suit, black dress pants, a white collared shirt, a blue tie, and he had short light blue hair and brown eyes. 

"Hi, i'm Victor Stroman, spokesperson of LOVTech, and i'm here to talk about our latest product of service. Introducing our new service robots!" The man said as the box began to open up from the sides, allowing some treads and metal clamps to come out. 

"Yes, these little guys can do it all. After a battle with a hero and a villain, it's normally up to the public to deal with the mess. Well say no more because these guys will clean up that mess for you! Inside their bodies, they suck in the debris and are actually able to disintegrate the material, meaning these bots have unlimited storage!" Victor explained as an example was shown, the robot taking in some rocks and then opening up its centre compartment to show the rocks were completely gone.

"Not too shabby, if I do say so myself. And let me say, with so much villain activity in these recent days, we're lowering our prices on these bad boys! We're dropping our normal price of $299.99, to just $149.99! It's almost a steal to get one of these bots! So get 'em while they're low so you don't have to clean anything ever again! The world is changing everyone. And i'd say it's time we do to. Once again, i'm Victor Stroman of LOVTech, and we're serving you for a better future." Victor said as the TV in which the commercial was being displayed was turned off. Several business men sat in a conference room around a large oval table, all having observed the commercial. 

"Now this is just the beta of how we're getting our word out. After some more editing, maybe some line changes, then it'll be ready to officially hit the air. But, despite the fact we haven't gone live to the public yet, we've still sold millions of service bots." Victor himself said as he stood next to the big screen TV, using a remote to change the screen to show a map of the United States. Almost every state was covered in red dots. 

"Each dot you see here is where we have a service bot located. As of yesterday, 90% of the entire country has claimed one of these bots. And in terms of the world...." Victor said as he then switched over to a map of all the countries of the world, showing many of them also had several red dots. 

"We're currently sitting at about a third of the world's population owning a service robot. With all the shit that's happened in the last few weeks, our sales have sky-rocketed. We're actually ahead of schedule now too, meaning by this time next week, we'll have moved on to phase 2." Victor explained as another business man stood up from his chair and slammed his fists down on the table. 

"But we're not ready to move on yet! There's still many bumps in the road we have to avoid if we want all this to work out! If we go too fast, we'll hit one of those bumps and crash! We have to delay the process!" He shouted in anger as Victor simply sighed and shook his head. 

"And here I was hoping no one would act up at this lovely information...." Victor quietly mumbled to himself as he began to whistle and walk over to the other business man. 

"It's Roberts, right?" Victor asked the man as he received a nod. 

"Look, i'm just the spokesman of the company. If you have a complaint, you should tell it to the CEO. If you'd like, I can take you to him. Well, how 'bout it?" Victor said as he came right up to Roberts who gave him another nod. 

"Yes, I think I would like to have a word with him. Lord knows what he's thinking with all these advancements." Roberts said as Victor directed him to a door at the other end of the room. He opened it up and watched as Roberts went inside before closing the door behind him. Victor then stood there with his back to the door, continuing to whistle a little tune as everyone just watched and remained silent. 

However, the sound of screaming soon broke the silence as everyone could hear Roberts on the other side of the door. Victor grabbed turned and grabbed the door knobs, stopping Roberts from breaking out of the room as he started slamming it. But he was unable to escape and his screaming came to a dead silence once more.

"Well..... that was exciting, wasn't it!?" Victor said as all the other businessmen laughed with him. 

"With the loose end out of the way, i'll say this meeting is over with. You all may continue with your duties. And, if you'll excuse me, I need to have a word with the CEO." Victor said as he opened up the doors and stepped into the CEO's office, stepping over the charred and very dead corpse of Roberts in the process. 

"I'll have a service bot come in and clean this up...." Victor said as he approached the CEO's desk, his chair turned around as he was looking out the windows behind his desk. 

"To think it's been a little over a year already since everything went downhill. And now, we're here. We're the ones looking down over everyone else." The CEO said in his slightly creepy tone as Victor walked up to the side of his desk, looking out the windows as well. 

"New York City. Largest city in the world but the easiest place for us to hide. Over 1000 pro heroes span the entire city and its districts but none are able to see what's right in front of them. Just shows how worthless they really are." Victor said. 

"I hear we're ahead of schedule. Finally, some good news for once. Seems that little group, the Injustice Squad, was useful after all. They gave us a nice distraction down in Philadelphia for all the heroes here to turn a blind eye to our operations." The CEO said as he stood up from his chair, revealing some medium length black messy hair, and an open business suit with a dark blue collared shirt underneath. 

"Indeed. Thanks to them, a handful of heroes had to leave the city to help with the repairs down there. Meaning, we were able to expand our reach over the city even further, let alone the entire country and the world. But all things considered, we're all still very lucky things turned out the way they did." Victor said as the CEO turned his head to give him a nod, revealing a man with blue eyes and multitudes of patchwork all over his face. He was known as Blazing Blue Death Flame of the League of Villains, Dabi. 

"Guess you could say that. Machia got some of us out of Japan when the boss was defeated. Hell, he swam us all the way over here. And then you guys came in. The farthest reaching sector of what was the Liberation Army. And you, my friend, might I say you have worked wonders of putting everything together again for us." Dabi said as Victor kneeled down in front of him and bowed his head. 

"I'm only here to serve for a better world. And the League of Villains will see us to it." Victor said as two more people entered the room. One was a girl, her light blonde hair in two buns at the sides, her eyes a sharp yellow, and she wore a very pretty blood red dress that went down into a skirt around her knees. The other was a man who wore a black and white opera mask over his face, along with a top hat, plus a orange and black vest, fancy black pants and dress shoes, along with a metallic left arm. The girl was the blood driven psychopath, Himoko Toga. And the man next to her was the Deadly Magician, Mr. Compress. 

"Indeed we will, Victor. Thanks to you and the company you so graciously handed over to us, we've been reborn from our own ashes. And in just a weeks time, it'll all begin. Our rise and the heroes downfall." Compress said as the four joined together in the centre of the room, all standing on a metal platform. Victor used the same remote before and hit a few buttons, making the platform lower into the floor. 

"I hear he's recovered much faster than expected. Oh, this is so great! It'll be so lovely to have the boss with us again! I can't wait to kill some more people and make them bleed!" Toga said with glee as they were all lowered beneath the surface of the ground into a ginormous laboratory. It was dimly lit with a neon green colour coming off of all of the giant test tubes scattered all over the place, each holding its own separate specimen. 

"Haven't been down here in a while. Looks like some of these things are nearly completed." Dabi said as the four walked down a centre walkway towards the largest test tube in the room. On either side of them all, hundreds of Nomu creatures floated in the tubes.

"As of right now, I believe in here we have 205 that have been finished. Which means there's another 795 close to being completed. They should be ready before next week comes." Victor said as he read off some data he had on his cell phone. 

"Welcome....." A very deep and grizzled voice said as the four came to the largest test tube, it glowing a purple colour instead of all the others which were green. And sitting behind the tube was none other than the literal moving mountain man, Gigantomachia. 

"Nice to see you're awake, Machia. I assume no one's gotten down here since we last came?" Compress asked as Machia gave them all a nod. 

"Now then, let's check his status...." Victor said as he went to a panel of screen and controls next to the purple test tube. Inside was a man, floating in stasis as his body was slowly regenerating. Currently, the man had about three quarters of his body, with only his left arm and most of his left leg still missing. 

"Think he'll be awake again in time for next week?" Dabi asked as Figure gave him a nod. 

"Oh, most definitely. I have faith that the leader will awaken from his long slumber in time." Victor said as they all observed the great leader of the League of Villains, Tomura Shigaraki. 

"Master.....he nears....." Machia said, clearly happy about his master being free from his long term regeneration. 

"And I can't wait to see the look on his face when we give him all the gifts we acquired!" Toga said cheerfully as they all then walked over to a wall which opened up, revealing a large cooling tank filled with vials of blood.

"I'm still stunned as to how we got all these samples." Dabi said as Victor picked up one and held it close to his face. 

"Well, given the fact we did most of the cleanup work in Philadelphia, it was pretty easy. Blood samples of every single hero and villain who fought on that day. Wrath Queen, Markus Wheeler, and so many more have graciously given us their quirks." Victor said as he placed the vial of blood back down into the tube with the rest as he then grabbed a special tiny case in the tube. 

"But all of these ones are going to be for the Nomu's. Were we able to acquire the one we wanted most?" Compress asked as Victor opened the special case to reveal another vial of blood. 

"Indeed we did. And here it is...." Victor said as he chuckled a bit. 

"The blood of the kid who nearly killed the boss. Tenshonoma Cryshiki. And soon, Reality will be in the palms of Shigaraki." Dabi said as he laughed too, their plan nearing completion as the world of heroes around them had no clue what awaited them in the near future....


-POV: Wrath Queen-

"It's been a month already since that war with the Injustice Squad came to an end. My..... how time flies...." I thought to myself as I currently making my way to the principal's office. After I instructed my class to suit up into their costumes and head out to P.H Academy's battleground, I was called down to speak with the new principal. 

"You wanted to see me, sir?" I asked as I came into his office, coming face to face with P.H's newest principal, the number one hero of the world himself, Endeavor. Hawks was by his side as well, meaning this was probably a serious conversation we were about to have. 

"Indeed. Thanks to you sharing the information from those two vigilantes, we've gained new info on our investigation." Endeavor said as I gave him a nod. 

"Please don't let them know I gave their contact info to you. They would literally kill me if they found out." I said as Hawks just laughed. 

"Those two are quite the pair. Twilight's apparently gone into supposed enemy territory. She's working undercover as a secretary as LOVTech. Ever since the war ended a month ago, LOVTech has seemingly stepped in all over the place. The news, social media, they're everywhere promoting these service robots of theirs. It's suspicious to say the very least." Hawks told me. 

"Yes, I've had my suspicions on them as well. I heard of them before the battle but they never did anything of significance until recently." I told them as they both agreed. 

"She's looking into their spokesman, Victor Stroman. They believe if they really are up to something, then he's the one orchestrating it all behind the scenes." Endeavor said as I agreed with him. 

"I'll keep you updated on their findings, s-sir." I said in a very unnerving tone as the two now looked at me curiously. 

"Is something wrong, Queen? You've looked so uneasy ever since you woke up in the hospital." Hawks asked me as I just took in a deep breath and exhaled. 

"It's just..... I just want my son back. Jiro and her team have been out there for a month now following his trail but they still haven't found him yet. I'm just so worried about him...." I said as I nearly started to cry. 

"Have faith in them, Fuyumi. Those 4 are trusted even by me. And I know they will find your son. They will bring him back. And there's no need to worry about him either. I've never seen a simple student with such spirit, determination, and courage. He will return." Endeavor spoke as I thanked him for his words.

"Now then, onto other pressing matters. I hear your sidekick is taking some third years out on a mission tonight, is that correct?" Endeavor asked me as I gave him a nod. 

"Yes, sir. With us having located the drug cartel producing all the Trigger drugs, she's taking out the best P.H has to offer to put an end to their distribution." I informed them as they both nodded. 

"Well, it gives those first years of yours and Drac's a break after what they went through. Plus, it sounds like my little bro's gonna be on the mission too. He'll bring home the win for us, that's for sure." Hawks said. 

"Yes, they're heading out after school ends today. She's gonna update me every chance she gets." I told them. 

"Good, that's how I like it. If they succeed, then that could potentially but a hurt on the League if they're involved with them." Endeavor said. 

"Yeah, really. Also, it seems our little spy in our mix is still eluding us. Haven't been able to find any signs of a traitor in either of the first year classes yet." Hawks said to me. 

"All we know is that it's one of the girls. But after questioning all of them, we weren't able to pinpoint any of them as potential suspects. Whoever it is, they've clearly done this before. They know how to blend in. But, if we can figure them out, then we may just be able to shut down what remains of the Injustice Squad for good." I said as both men agreed with me. I then took out my phone to check the time. 

"I'm sorry, gentlemen, but I really must be going. Funnily enough, i'm actually the one running late for class. We'll reconvene when the day's over." I said as they both agreed. I then left and made my way out to P.H Academy's battlegrounds, a huge dome with interchangeable terrains. When I arrived, my class, as well as Drac and class 2 were all gathered together, just waiting for me to show up. Each student was in their hero costumes. 

"So nice of you to join us, Queen. Shall we begin?" Drac asked me as I gave him a nod. 

"Alright, everyone, it's nice to see us all gathered again after first semester was cancelled. However, as told to you all by our new principal, you all still receive all your credits. And now, here we are in our second semester. Things are going to be different, most notably for your training sessions. And the reason for that is because all of them for the entire duration of this semester will be joint. Class 1 and class 2 will be training together." I explained as nearly all of the students grew ecstatic. Both classes typically shared a lot of bonds so hearing they get to work directly with one another was sure to make them happy. 

"Today, we'll be doing a number of games and battle scenarios. There'll be three in total. The first will be 5 versus 5, as will the second too. And the third will consist of the final 6 students from each class. So, all of you will be participating today, whether it be for a game or for battle." Drac told everyone as they all nodded in understanding. 

"Game 1 is a simple one that i'm sure majority of you have played sometime in your childhood. Capture the Flag. Heroes sometimes must go on retrieval missions and often find some form of resistance to oppose them. This scenario will teach you all how hard things can get despite the task being so simple." I explained as Drac went on to continue. 

"Our second, and also first battle scenario will be Villains defense. A team of villains is defending a potentially dangerous device and it's up to the hero team to capture the villains and secure the device. One classes team will play the role of the villains, and the other will be the heroes." He explained as I went on to explain the final scenario. 

"And our third and final battle scenario will be capture the villains. Both teams will see the other as the villains, and within a certain time limit, both teams must defeat and capture as many villains as they can. More will be explained about these games before we begin them." I explained as myself and Drac pulled out two boxes. 

"Within these boxes are a set of numbers ranging from 1-3. Each of you will come up and take out a number which will then determine which event you'll be competing in. Now, line up and take your numbers." Drac said as both classes lined up, mine in front of me and class 2 in front of Drac. When all the numbers were taken, all the teams were set. 

Capture the Flag Teams:

-Class 1: Ryan, Tika, Sophie, Stella, and Aqua

-Class 2: Amelia, Holly, Kira, Colson, and Jerry

Villain Defense Teams:

-Class 1(Heroes): Steve, Michael, Jackson, Harper, and Lisa

-Class 2(Villains): Stacy, Maia, Blake, Danny, Asami

Villain Capture:

-Class 1: Phobos, Josh, Joey, Mallow, Phil, and Cameron

-Class 2: Nick, Midareka, Amy, Bruce, Vergil, Anne


-POV: Phobos-

"I'm in match 3, eh? Should be interesting. It's has the most competitors and the most diversity of quirks as well. I think it's gonna be f-" I tried to say as someone suddenly bumped into me, knocking me over a bit but I regained my footing quickly. 

"Oops. Didn't see you there, champ. Maybe you should watch where you tread." Nick from class 2 said in a smug attitude. 

"You got a problem or something?" I asked him as he just chuckled a bit. 

"Right now I do, but when this is all over, I won't. You see, you're the International Sports Festival champion. Which means you're better than anyone else who competed in that final tournament. But, had I have made it through to the tournament, I guarantee I would've smoked your dumb ass." Nick said to me as I just shrugged off his comments.

"Well then it's a shame you came almost in last place during the second event. Those are such high words for someone who failed so miserably." I said into his face as his cheeky smile went away pretty quickly."

"You're little luck streak is gonna end today. I'm gonna kick your ass into next week take away your crown and knock you off that high horse you're sitting so confidently on." Nick threatened which just made me laugh now. 

"Oh really? I haven't really bragged about winning or anything, probably because i'm not a sore winner. But, it seems to me you're just one hell of a sore loser." I told him as Josh came over as he had been listening in to our conversation. 

"Jeez, hold a grudge much, Nick?" Josh said as he rested his right arm down on Nick's left shoulder. 

"Oh, don't start. We all know who you are now, Josh. Markus' little boy. Josh Wheeler, everyone! Son of the guy who nearly blew up the whole city and killed us all!" Nick shouted into his face as he shoved Josh off of him. 

"Yeah, you're right, my real dad's the guy who tried to kill everyone. What does that have anything to do with me? What, you think i'm gonna do the same? You're making me wanna snap your neck right now, douche. You want that to happen? Well, do ya!?" Josh yelled back as Nick activated his quirk, a yellow outline appearing over his right fist as he charged up one of his shockwaves. 

"I'd love to see you try, you son of a bitch. Just you wait 'til our match. I'm coming for you first and sending you running back to daddy." Nick said with intensity as Harper quickly stepped in between us all. 

"Look, i'm not sure of everything that's going on, but all of you need to chill the fuck down. We're all friends and classmates here. We're trying to be heroes, not seeing each other as villains." She said as Nick just rolled his eyes at her. 

"Oh please, you're nothing more than a damsel in distress, constantly needing to be rescued. Had you not have been kidnapped so easily, Jiro wouldn't have been nearly killed, and the Injustice Squad wouldn't have had so much leverage over us. We would've taken them down in a heartbeat had it not have been for you." He said as he still had his quirk activated. 

"You need to step away, asshole. Save your little tantrum for when we fight. I'll take you on personally and show you what a person with actual manners and capability can do." I said to him as he just shot an intense glare at me. 

"No. I want to kick the ass of the son of the villain here. But i'll gladly take you down right after, Mr. Champ." Nick said to me as I just put my left hand down hard on his right shoulder. 

"Let me rephrase that then. You will face me first because i'm not letting you lay a finger on Josh before going through me." I said to him as intimidatingly as possible as he just chuckled at my remarks. 

"Oh, you make me laugh, Phobos. You really do. But you're gonna see one hell of a power gap between us. I'm the literal strongest student in my class. No one even comes close to matching me. I'll blow through you and then Josh in seconds." Nick replied as I ignited my other arm in my black flames. 

"Maybe in your class you're the strongest. But i'll bet my career here at P.H that I can match and surpass you. I'll show you why I was able to win the International Sports Festival." I said to him as he pushed my arm off his shoulder. 

"Fine. But once i'm done with you, i'm brutalizing Josh in front of everyone." Nick said as the both of us suddenly had hands clamped down on top of our heads. 

"Are all of you finished, or would you like to delay our class time even more?" Wrath Queen asked as she tightened her grip on our heads. 

"No, no, we're sorry, Ms. Fuyumi!" I told her with a bit of fear in her voice, considering she had her flaming arm on my head while Nick had her normal. 

"Whatever. I'll save it for the match...." Nick said as he shrugged her hand off him and stepped over to everyone who was on his team.

"I overheard most of that. Seems you two in particular have a bit of a rival." Queen said to us as me and Josh both sighed. 

"Yeah well, that rivalry is gonna end very soon when I kick his butt." I said as Queen let go of me, allowing the rest of us to group up with our assigned teams. 

"Alright, now that all the delays are over with, we'll begin our first match! Will both teams please enter the battlefield!" Drac ordered as the first teams from Classes 1 and 2 walked deeper into the plain looking floor of the dome. 

"Alright, let's see what type of field we get for this one...." Queen said as she used the tablet she had in her hands to input some codes. The plain white floor began to take shape until the entire dome became a jungle arena. 

"Interesting. Wonder what kind of field we'll get when it's our turn?" I wondered as both teams went separate ways towards their designated start positions. 

"Your goal is to defend your flag, as well as capture the opposing teams flag by bringing it back to your base! Neither team will know where the enemies base is, so search and fight hard! The scenario will end when one team successfully captures the other teams flag or one team is completely incapacitated! Now...." Wrath Queen said as a holographic countdown appeared over the jungle. 3.... 2..... 1.......

"BEGIN!!!"
