I think we're all thinking the same thing right now. That was the shortest lived victory in history for Phobos. Like, he beats Touya. Yay! 2 seconds later, Red ruins everything. Also, fuck yeah to the Red reveal, I've been waiting for show off the League's new Red skinned Alpha Nomu. And he talks! It sounds like an action figure reveal, lol. Anyways, uh, yeah, they're all captured now too, giving the League even more leverage over the heroes who've been prepping to mobilize this whole time. What's going to become of those who've been captured? You'll see eventually. Now, let's get right back into the action! Enjoy!

-POV: Third Person-

*Knock, knock, knock* Namiko Saito, member of P.H's Big 3 knocked on the front door of another member of the Big 3's home. Next to her was the third member of their trio, Kurian Takami, both of which were in their hero costumes. 

"Think he'll agree to all this?" Kurian questioned as Namiko just replied with a sigh. 

"Don't know. He's always done what he wants to do, and with what happened, i'm not really sure if he'll be willing to help us." She said as someone answered the door. There stood Marimo Juurou, in casual clothes and drinking a beer. 

"Dude, you're 3 years underage." Kurian said to him as Marimo chugged the whole thing down before letting out a loud burp in their faces. 

"And?" He replied as they both just rolled their eyes at him. 

"Have you seen the news lately? About what's going on?" Namiko asked but Marimo shook his head. With him on indefinite suspension from P.H, he was probably too depressed to do anything but waste his own time all day around his home.

"The heroes are going to war with the League of Villains over in New York. We're all heading out as well. And, we'd like to have you with us, buddy. We could use your help." Kurian asked him but Marimo didn't look too impressed. 

"Haven't you heard? I murdered a person. And last I checked, someone who murders people ain't no hero. And if it's heroes going to war, then this ain't my fight now, is it?" He said to the two as Namiko just sighed again and grabbed hold of one of his ears. 

"Listen, you jerk! Forget about what happened! This is the fucking fate of the world we're talking about! So man up, and get out of this depressed crybaby state already!" She screamed into his ear before letting him go. 

"Jesus christ, you don't have to fucking shout to loud, Nam. Look, i'll come along and help you, cause I know you two can't do shit without me at your backs. But I want all my charges dropped when this is all over, got it? I want back into my fucking school so I can graduate and become a god damn pro." Marimo demanded as Kurian held out his right hand, the two boys shaking in agreement. 

"I'm sure we can get that to happen. Glad to have you on board. Still got your costume with you?" Kurian asked him as Marimo gave him a nod. 

"Yep. Got some swords laying around too. Been waiting to use them for something better than darts. Give me 5, i'll be right out." He said as he went back into his home to prep. With the Big 3 now back together and at full strength, the hero side would now gain just that little more extra strength they may need to be victorious. 

-Meanwhile, back at P.H Academy-

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY'RE MISSING!? WHERE COULD THEY HAVE GONE!?" Wrath Queen screamed in a panic as Josh had informed her of Phobos, Harper, and Kira's disappearance. 

"I don't know, I saw them last when the assembly was called, then they were gone before it started!" Josh replied as he had gone to Endeavor's office to tell them the news. 

"Oh jeez, if those three have gone off to do stupid heroics by themselves, then they risk jeopardizing so much of what we've prepared." Endeavor said as he sat at his desk, contemplating at this development. "And Hawks has gone dark as well. I haven't heard from him in hours."

"Ugh, I know this is Phobos' doing! I swear, when I find him, i'm gonna strangle him!" Queen complained as Endeavor got up from his desk. He stood next to a window, looking out and into the city. 

"I'm sure those three are fine. You trained them, after all. We stay on course and go with our plan. The heroes already in New York will take the North route towards LOVTech HQ, while the rest of us spread out with the neighbouring heroes and take the South, West, and East routes. We surround LOVTech on all sides and overwhelm them before Shigaraki is completed again. Even if we aren't fast enough, our strike team should take him out well before he wakes up." Endeavor said as something began to beep on his computer on his desk. Endeavor went over to take a look and saw it was an offer for a live video chat. He opened it up and it appeared on the TV in the room.

"Oh good, you accepted the call. Hey, dad." Touya said as he appeared in the camera view on the other end. 

"What the hell do you want, you bastard of a son? I have no reason to discuss anything with the likes of you." Endeavor said to him as Touya just giggled at the reply. 

"What do I want, you ask? I want to show you something, father. And it pleases me to see you have a crowd as well. Now, do observe our acquirements." Touya said as he stepped out of the way of the camera to reveal Phobos, Harper, Kira, and Twilight all in their metal pillory's, each on their knees within their thick glassed cell.

"Oh my god, what have you done to them!?" Queen demanded to know, nearly punching the TV screen from her rage as Josh held her back. 

"Nothing yet. Got a bit rough with Phobos here, but other than that, everyone here is in near perfect condition. For the time being, that is." Touya explained as he kept on chuckling. 

"Let my friends go, asshole!" Josh shouted but Touya just shook his head at him. 

"You must be Markus' boy, am I right? No can do. I told you, I wanted to show you all something. I'm about to play a fun game of roulette with your three students. Ms. Twilight can't play because she doesn't have a quirk. Now then, do any of you know what this is?" Touya said as he held up three needles in his right hand, each containing a red liquid inside each of them. 

"No, you can't!! All of those were destroyed, so how can you have more!?" Queen shouted as she and Endeavor recognized the serum he was holding. 

"What is it!? What is he holding!?" Josh questioned as Touya stepped into the cell, followed by Mr. Compress and Toga who came into view with him. 

"It's true, all of the serum was destroyed in the great battle last year. But in our rebirth, we developed a brand new concoction that wields the same results. 2 of these three needles will only last an hour, but one is permanent. I wonder which of these three students will be the lucky one?" Touya said as each of the three villains took of one of the needles. 

"What's in those needles!? Someone, just tell me already!? Why are they so dangerous!?" Josh demanded to know as Queen turned around to him, her face full of fear. 

"You know how my son lost his original quirk, right?" Queen asked as Josh gave her a nod. "Well that's what did it to him. That serum destroys your quirk and makes you quirkless. And it's permanent."

"Now, now, we did say that only 2 of these last for an hour. Of course, we had to have prototype runs with these. So you should be glad that only one of these bright students of yours will lose their quirk on this day." Mr. Compress said to them. 

"I will not allow this to happen!" Endeavor shouted but Touya just laughed into the camera at him. 

"What the hell are ya gonna do, dad!? You're a little far away to do anything!! Now, pick whose getting injected with which serum." Touya said to his father. 

"Endeavor.... we don't have a choice here.... neither we nor the heroes in New York already can make it in time to save those 4.... one of them has to lose theirs." Queen said to him as Endeavor clenched his fists tightly, both wishing they didn't have to make this terrible decision. 

"But all three are such promising students.... to end their careers as heroes so soon... it just isn't fair for anyone.... I can't....." Endeavor said as Josh stepped forward. 

"To my three friends, I'm truly sorry, but I will make this decision if the pros can't! The crazy looking girl, you take Phobos! The man with the mask, you take Kira! And Endeavor's son, you take Harper!" Josh said as both heroes looked stunned that he made the decision for them. 

"Very well, so be it. You've decided. Now, let's find out which will be quirkless from this day on." Touya said as all three villains repositioned so they were standing next to their chosen individual. All three students were struggling against their bindings, but each ring around their neck was chained to the wall behind them to prevent any chance of running away. And with each unable to resist, the villains all injected their serums in the students necks. 

"Well.... which one was it!? Tell us!!" Queen demanded as Toga began to giggle. 

"Congratulations. On this day, you've lost your Black Flame. I'll see you all again real soon." Touya told them all as he ended the call.

The whole room went silent. Everyone didn't know what to say as they couldn't believe what they had just witnessed. For Josh in particular, he now had to suffer knowing he just made his best friend lose his quirk forever. 

"We..... We leave.... right now...." Endeavor said, his fists clutched tightly to the point his veins were almost popping out.

"And how are we supposed to get their in time, Endeavor? We don't have enough transportation for everyone here." Queen responded, full of rage after what she had just witnessed. 

"We can help." A new person said as they opened the door to the office. Coming in were Kendo and Monoma. 

"You made it back. That's a relief. I'm.... i'm very sorry I had to make you all return, but the situation was too dire to leave you all out. Cry will have to wait." Queen said as she gave Kendo a hug. 

"It's my fault.... it's all my fault that it's gone...." Josh said as he'd fallen to his knees, struck by the fact that it was his fault everything was gone for Phobos. 

"Get off the ground, Mr. Wheeler. It's no place for a hero to be." Endeavor said as he grabbed Josh by the shoulders and lifted him up to his feet before continuing. "I have made many mistakes in my life as well, some just a great as the one you just made. But even so, I tried my best to right those wrongs, I worked hard to fix them as best I could. A hero is capable of anything. We can save your friends. So stop sulking and act like a real hero, boy. We need that for when this all begins." 

"Yes..... yes, sir...." Josh responded, still unsure of himself as Endeavor moved his attention to Kendo and Monoma. 

"You two said you could help, yes? How so?" He asked them. 

"We can..... well, we have a way we can get to New York instantly." Kendo said in a very unsure tone, with the both of them looking like they'd rather not give away this information. 

"Wait, how!? Do you know someone with some sort of teleportation quirk!?" Queen asked them but they both shook their heads. 

"Not exactly. Just get everyone into the gymnasium again, we'll do the rest." Monoma said as they both left. 

"Well, I guess it's the best we've got going for us. If they can get us to New York faster, then we should get everyone ready. Wrath Queen, and you, Josh, go finish your preparations. We leave in 20 minutes." Endeavor ordered as the two gave him nods. 

Everyone soon got the order that they'd be heading out. All support course students scrambled to make any gear that the hero students would require, some armor, weapons, everything. All hero course students changed into their costumes if they weren't in them already. Everyone was feeling the pressure of all this though. 

"Okay, okay, you can do this. No running. Gotta.... gotta fight the bad guys and beat them, that's all." Lisa said to herself as she stared at her reflection in a mirror, breathing quite heavily from being nervous.

"This is what a hero's supposed to do, right? We... we're really doing this. Baby, if something happens, I.... I don't want you to get hurt." Amelia said with tears in her eyes as she spoke to Holly from her class. The two had found an empty room to chat in private. 

"Hey, listen to me. We will be fine, okay? We'll make it through together. We always do everything together, right? Childhood, school, and we'll even do family. We'll never be apart, girl." Holly replied as the two hugged each other. 

"Hey, can I talk to you for a minute?" Josh said as he'd found Trini. She'd just geared up in her costume, her hair in pigtails, and her wearing a skin tight black catsuit with neon green lights all over, with black boots to match. 

"Yeah, what's up?" She asked as he pulled her into an empty room he'd found. 

"Look... I.... Okay, what's about to go down, there's obviously no guarantee we'll make it out alright. We'll both be apart from each other once this starts, so I have to get this off my chest. Trini, I love you; you know I love you. And I don't care if we're apart or if I have to break any laws during all this, I will come and find you. And I will protect you." He told her as the two hugged each other. 

"Hey now.... you big bloke, don't you remember who beat your butt down in the festival? I should be sayin' that to you." Trini jokingly replied as they quickly kissed before someone interrupted them by walking through the door. 

"Oh my.... sorry! We've really gotta go, though!" Ryan said to them as Josh just rolled his eyes at him. 

"Yeah, we'll be there in a minute." Josh said as Ryan quickly left with Tika by his side. 

"Here, I got some of the support students to make these for us. If anything goes wrong, just speak into it and i'll come running." He said to Trini as he handed her one of two earpieces. They both put them in their ears and then kissed again before leaving to join the others in the gymnasium. 

Once inside the gym, the students were quickly placed into three distinct groups, first years, second years, and third years, with all three having their own leaders as well. For the first years, it was Wrath Queen. For the seconds, it was her sidekick, Refracta. And for the third years, it was Endeavor himself.

"Guess it's our turn now." Kendo said as she and Monoma both took to the centre of the gym. 

"Any idea what those two are doing?" Jiro asked Tetsutetsu as they'd both went with Queen's first year group.

"Not one. But if they say they have a way to get us to New York right away, then that'll safe us a lot of time." He replied as Kendo and Monoma took each others hands. Both of their veins began to glow with a very similarly looking purple hue, and in front of each group spawned huge portals. "Uuuuuuuuh.... am I seeing this right? Did they just-"

"Yeah.... I'm not sure of it myself but..... what the fuck is going on? How can they do that?" Jiro questioned as no one was believing what they were witnessing. Kendo and Monoma were actually using Cry's Reality powers to make portals for everyone. Even Endeavor seemed impressed, but he pushed past the amazement so he could speak to everyone one more time before this all began. 

"All of you know your missions. Three teams, one target. Heroes from neighbouring cities have already arrived in New York. Hawks has gathered them and all are stationed in every direction a couple miles out from LOVTech. These, uh..... these portals that Kendo and Monoma have made for us should take us to each one. Once through, we close in and storm LOVTech HQ. They have several of our own held captive as we speak. If you make it inside, find them and get them out. We will all meet opposition during this time. Unless the situation requires it, none of you will face any villain alone. Strength in numbers will bring you victory. However..... should the situation become desperate and no other outcome is avoidable.... you have my permission to kill. These villains won't hesitate to do the same." Endeavor spoke to everyone who listened to his speech. "Listen to your leaders. They will help you make it through this. And to our strike team, you know what you have to do. We're all counting on you."

The strike team consisted of P.H's Big and Sub 3. The six students were geared up for their secret mission. The most crucial of this whole operation.

"Alright..... let's get going. Everyone look alive when we step through these. Danger will come at you when you least expect it. Here we go." Endeavor said as all three groups went through their portals, with the strike team following the first years and Queen. And upon entering, the portals closed behind them, with them all in New York City now. 

In Endeavor's group, he looked around at the surroundings, but he found no sign of danger or allied heroes. 

"Where are they? This was the meeting location I gave to them." He said as he wondered where the allied hero forces could be. In fact, each of the three groups had the same result. No heroes could be seen anywhere. Currently, each group was stationed in a certain direction of LOVTech's HQ, with the first years taking the East, the second years coming from the South, and the third years coming from the West. To the North were the heroes from New York who Hawks had gathered. 

"At last, the leader of his generation has arrived! Finally, we can begin!!" A man's voice said as it was projected through the empty streets of New York. "Look down to the end of the street, Endeavor. That's where you'll find me."

"Sir, this is a trap, no doubt. What should we do?" Sergei asked the pro hero. 

"Students, whether our backup is here or not, we continue with our mission. You're all the best your school has, and all of you might as well be pros now. Spread out and we'll surround whoever this person is." Endeavor said as the students did as told and scrambled into nearby alleyways and into buildings to get up onto some roofs. Only Endeaovr himself and one other person stayed in the street to continue straight ahead. "I thought I told told you to stay behind? Your injuries haven't healed yet."

"Yeah, but I don't take orders from heroes. Only person who can order me around is my wife and she's not here right now. So you're stuck with me now." Pein said as he'd come along as well, now packing more heat than he'd normally bring, with two handguns strapped to his hips. 

"Well, too late to send you back now. If you die, it's your own fault. Now let's go." Endeavor ordered as the two went down the curving rode until the man who spoke finally came into view. At the end of the street, a podium had been set up. High End Nomu, about 30 strong, stood on either side, and Victor Stroman stood atop the podium with a microphone in his hands. "As I thought, it was you after all."

"You son of a bitch, give me Becca back!" Pein demanded as he pulled out one of his guns and took aim. 

"Put the gun away." Stroman spoke into his mic as Pein did as told. "I'd try to use my quirk on you, Endeavor, but even I know that someone like you would be able to resist it."

"Good to know. And it was nice of you to show yourself so soon. And i'm sure you already know the situation you're in as we speak." Endeavor replied as Stroman gave him a nod. 

"You would be correct. You have about 32 students surrounding me and my creatures right now. That's not enough though. Especially when I have something with much more firepower than even yourself. Oh, Red!!!" Stroman called out as the Alpha Nomu, Red, came marching around a corner, stopping at Stroman's side on top of the podium. "This creature will prove to be an even greater challenge than any Nomu you've ever faced before. Now then, with all of my forces and yours here and ready, I think i'll do the honors of kicking things off. Meet our spark for this grand occasion...."

Stroman stepped to the side to reveal Hawks on his knees right behind him. He looked as though he'd been beaten to near death, his whole body almost covered in blood. He had one of his wing blades to his neck, and he looked like he couldn't lower it. 

"No, Hawks!!" Endeavor shouted as he now realized why he couldn't reach his comrade. He'd been captured, who knows how long ago, by the League. 

"Thanks to my handy quirk, Hawks here was no trouble at all taking down. Actually, none of the heroes in New York were tough at all. I guess that's why they're all dead now though." Stroman explained as Endeavor, Pein, and all the students heard. All were speechless as a significant chunk of their forces were killed before they even knew it. "I'm sure you're all wondering where your backup is as well, from all the other cities you asked to help, correct? Well, yesterday, as they were all mobilizing, we activated our service bots in the city. Nomu spread throughout like wildfire, and they're all still fighting as we speak. They won't be arriving anytime soon, assuming any will survive their battles."

"En.... Endeavor.... I.... I'm sorry.... they're too strong..... I couldn't.... they're all gone...." Hawks tried to say as blood seeped out of his mouth. 

"That's enough, Hawks. Time for you to do your job and be our spark. Kill yourself." Stroman ordered as Hawks, without hesitation, brought his feather blade back and then swung it at himself. In one swift motion, Hawks decapitated himself and the heroes could do nothing as they watched his lifeless body flop down and his head roll off the podium. 

"NOOOOOOOO!!!!" Endeavor roared in a fury as his fire erupted nearly everywhere. "ALL STUDENTS, NOW IS OUR TIME!!! WE STRIKE AT THE HEART OF THESE VILLAINS, AND WE AVENGE THOSE WHO HAVE FALLEN!!! NOW, ATTACK!!!"

Meanwhile, Refracta led her second year squad down the streets, currently coming into Times Square. Abandoned cars were riddled everywhere until the end of the Square.

"I always wanted to come here. Wish it wasn't under these circumstances." Trini said to herself as Refracta stopped the group. Their opposition had revealed itself to them. Standing at the end was Markus and all of the Injustice Squad, minus Daina and Tika. 

"So nice of you all to finally make it to this.... little party, of ours." Markus spoke to them all as Refracta stepped forward a bit to speak. 

"I lead these students. You talk to me and me alone. Why side with the League of Villains?" She asked them. 

"Because they can actually give us what we've wanted all this time. Something you heroes have taken away from us. The right to be people." Ping said to her as he held a remote control in his right hand. 

"As much as it pains us to harm children, you all chose your side. What comes next is on your hands, not ours. Ping.... do it." Markus ordered as Ping hit a button on his remote. Within the span of a second, every single vehicle that surrounded the heroes exploded, engulfing them all in the blasts. Trini acted quick and used her quirk to partially shield herself from the explosions, but a roof of a nearby car came flying through the flames and struck her. All heroes suffered in the blasts, each unable to defend themselves against the fire as all screamed in agonizing pain. And as fast as they got there, Refracta and all the second years she had led to New York died in an instant.

"And I was hoping to have at least a little fun. That was easier than I thought this would be." Poppy said as the Squad looked on at the field of fire in front of them. 

"It was just a matter of who was more prepared. We knew all who would be here, how many of them there'd be, and their whole plan. They knew nothing. There was no chance in hell they could win, even if they all survived the blasts." Markus explained as the sound of creaking metal could be heard through the fire. All of them looked through the flames and saw Trini laying on the ground, trying to lift the roof of the car off her legs. Her head was bleeding and, as she slid the roof off her, she discovered both of her legs were mangled and broken. She screamed from the pain as the Squad began to move in. 

"Looks like just one survived. I call dibs." Killer said as he unsheathed a machete. 

"Well, since this ended so quickly, we're actually ahead of schedule. We have time to kill now. Let's enjoy the moment." Molly said as Trini began to crawl away, seeing them all coming for her. 

"Josh.... Someone.... I need you to help.... everyone's gone.... it's just me.... SOMEBODY, HELP ME!!!" She screamed into her earpiece, but all she got on the other end was static. As far as she knew, no one was coming to save her. 

"Trying to call for help, little girl? That's cute. But by now, all of your other teams will have their hands full. No one is coming to save you. Which means you're all ours to play with until we have to move on. Now, come here." Markus said to her as he grabbed her by her neck and lifted her up off the ground. He then threw her back out of the flames and into the centre of where the rest of the Squad stood. 

"What are you guys thinking? Take her back to HQ, keep her as a prisoner like the others?" Jake suggested but Jade stepped forward and crouched down next to Trini, rubbing her fingers through her hair. 

"No.... we have enough of those. This one can share the same fate as the one we just dealt with. In due time, of course. So...." Jade said as she pulled out a knife and began to rub it against the side of Trini's right cheek. "What shall we begin with?"

"Whatever we want, that's what. After all, it's impossible for one little girl to deal with all of us." Gregory said as he stepped forward. "May I have the first move, Markus?"

"Since you asked so kindly, be my guest. Jade, let him have his fun. You may go after." Markus told her as she backed off. Trini was too weak and had sustained too much pain to her head to use her quirk, so she was essentially quirkless in this moment and unable to do a thing. 

"A fine specimen, you are. I would adore the idea to rip you in half with my quirk, but that wouldn't be too fair for my comrades. Still, I will make you feel pain in full." Gregory said as he pointed to Trini, taking control of her blood as he made her rise up into the air. He waved his arm up and down, beginning to smash Trini into the ground over and over again as the others just watched in joy. 

"That's it, bleed for me! Show us all what we came here to see! A hero who's about to di-" Gregory attempted to say as a pickup truck suddenly came out of nowhere, driving right into him as it took him away and crashed into the side of a building. Gregory was crushed between the two as he slumped over onto the hood of the truck. The driver then stepped out of the now wrecked vehicle, taking out a familiar weapon as well which made Trini smile with joy. 

"Dad..... i'm gonna have to ask you and your dumbass friends to get the fuck away from my girlfriend." Josh said, gripping his metal sledgehammer tightly in his hands as Markus only laughed at his sons threat. 

"How's it going, son? Didn't realize you had a girlfriend to begin with. And sorry, but no can do. I have my orders. You're the only one i'm allowed to keep alive. Everyone else, including your girlfriend here, has to die. Sorry, but that's how it has to be." Markus said as Josh, with the most intense glare in his eyes, swung his hammer over his shoulders and began to chuckle back. 

"I had a feeling you'd say that. But i'm not gonna let that happen. Cuz' i'm gonna take you all down and save my girl." Josh said as Markus looked around with a confused look on his face. 

"Is that so? You and what army, son?" He asked Josh who stopped laughing. 

"No army. It's just me, and me alone. And that's enough."
