(Disclaimer. I know Magne is a female, but for the sake of this chapter, reader things shes a guy--)

A few minutes after Katsuki and Shoto went inside the forest, my nose picked up on a retched smell, one I've hated a lot after the attack on Tsuki and I.

My eyes flicked up to the smoke filling the air.

My eyes widened as a new voice spoke.

"How are you this evening, U.A High School?"

I swirl around, Tsuki already glaring at the figure.

A giant lizard man dressed as Stain, and some guy with big lips were the cause of how on edge I felt at that moment.

"We are the Vanguard Action Squad of the League of Villains!" The lizard man yells, his arms spread out wide.

"The League Of Villains?!" Ojiro yells. "Why are they here...?"

"Shall I crush this girls head? What d'you think?" The male with big lips smirks. "Well, what do you think?"

"Like i'd let you, you--" Tiger hisses.

"Wait up, Big Sis Mag. Don't he hasty." The lizard waves his hands in between them. "You too, Tiger. Calm down. It all depends on whether having power over life and death follows Stains tenants or not." His smile grows.

Izuku and I flinch. 'Stain...!'

"So your the ones his ideology brought!" Iida yells.

"That's right!" The lizard man spreads his arms out again. "I'm-" He pauses. "Oh yeah, you, with the glasses! You were the one who brought about the end of Stain at Hosu City." His hand moves up to the handle of his blade. "I apologize for the late introduction." He pulls out the sword off his back, revealing hundreds of blades. "Im Spinner, the one who will spin his dreams into reality!"

Mandalay holds an arm out to stop me from stepping forward.

"I dont care, but you bastards.." Tiger starts, his voice low and menacing. "The woman lying there, Pixie Bob, has started worrying about getting married recently. She was doing her best to find happiness as a woman, despite her age. You cant damage that womans face." Tigers claws grow from his paws, anger flooding through him. "And just stand there laughing thoughtlessly about it!"

"What's a hero doing trying to be happy like the average person?!" Spinner lunges forward.

"Tiger! Ive broadcasted instructions." Mandalay reports. "Leave the saftey of the other students to Ragdoll. The two of us will hold them back here!" She turns to face us. "Go, Everyone!" She yells. "Listen carefully. Do not fight. Class rep, your in charge." She faces the villains again.

"Understood!" Iida yells. "Lets Go!"

"Yeah, No. Not happening." I growl, standing beside Mandalay. She gives me a look, full of pride, but insane worry.

"Midoriya!" Iida turns back to Izuku, knowing he cant change my mind.

"Go on ahead!" He calls.
"--What are you saying?"
"--Midoriya?"

"I know where he is!"

Before I had time to think, I was running through the forest with Izuku, and toward where Kota was.

We were nearing the mountain when Izuku took off, me hot on his tail when I noticed the figure towering over Kota.

"KOTA!" I screamed, sending my usual bone-crushing kick to the mans head, just as his punch hit the ground.

He stumbled back, confused. I was already hovering over Kota, making sure he was alright.

"Why..?" Kota murmurs, letting out a cough.

"Hm.. You were on the kill list..." He points to Izuku. "You though.." He points to me. "Shigaraki wants somethin' with you, so dont make me accidentally kill you." His grin widens.

"Its.. Its going to be okay, Kota,
(Y/N)." Izuku gives me a side look, powering up his quirk.

He stands up, determination in his eyes. "Ill definitely save you!"

"'Ill definitely save you?'" He lets out a maniacal laugh. "That sounds just like what someone who wants to be a hero would say. Your kind show up everywhere, talking about justice." He pauses. "Your the one called Midoriya right? This is perfect."

He stretches out his arm, bare muscle growing around it. "We were told to take the initiave and kill you." He informs. "Ill make sure to torment you thoroughly." He chuckles, throwing off his cloak. "So show me your blood!" He shouts, powering forward.

"Hes coming--!" Izuku was cut off by being teleported, tumbling to the ground.

There was a satisfying crunch from my forearm as I tried blocking the punch, flying backward and hitting the stone.

"Whoops." He laughs. "I almost forgot. If you know, tell me..."

His next words fill me with an insane amount of dread

"Where's the kid called Bakugo?"

I felt anger rise up in my body as I shot petals towards him, only for them to be avoided. "Katsuki!?"

"I still half to do my job." He grins again, sending what could of taken me out, into the wall. In seconds, I was knelt on the ground, Izuku breathing heavily next to me.

"Thanks..." I manage to gasp.

"Can I take that as an 'I dont know?" The dust swirled around his face."I can right?"

When I nor Izuku respond, he turns to us, the never ending grin glued to his face. "All Right, then." He lunges forward. "Lets play!" He yells, sending a harsh kick at Izuku's stomach.

I let out a yelp as I send ropes of petals to tie the man down, giving me a spare few seconds to get to Izuku.

When he breaks free, he lets out a strong laugh. "Blood! This is great! This is what I wanted! This is so fun!" His laughter fills put the silence. "What'd you say before? That you'd definitely save him?!"

"Shut up!" My voice booms over his with such emotion it actually shocked him.

"Well well. The flower has a voice." He mocks.

"Well well, the mans got some balls!" I yell, sending a large group of petals toward him. His eyes visibly widen as a layer of muscle invelopes his body, very few petals actually making it past the thick skin that now protected the man. The skin went back to normal, the petals disappearing.

He let out a grunt as he tore the few petals that made it past the muscle from his flesh. "Bitch."

He runs forward at inhuman speeds, sending a punch to my gut, and I went flying off the side of the cliff.

[//////////////]
Izuku's POV

Tears sprang to my eyes as I heard (Y/N) yelp. I shot my head up just in time to watch as she went flying over the edge of the cliff.

"(Y/N)! No!" I yell, attempting to move, but I couldn't.

Tears streamed down my face as I clutched the ground.

"Now that thats out of the way..." Muscular turns to me. "Why are running?" He spreads his arms out.

I clench my fists and teeth in anger. I took a look back to where (Y/N) had been thrown off the edge.

"Your so weird!" His grin grows even bigger at the sight of tears.

'That muscle-type quirk is so fast... So strong...!' I struggle to stand up. 'I cant worry about Kaachan right now..' I look over towards the edge of the cliff, as if waiting to just see her come flying from the ground below. I shake my head sadly, glaring at the villain, tears pricking in my eyes again. 'I half to focus! On the enemy in front of me!' I stand up, One For All powered up.

I pull my fist back. "SMASH!" I yell, my fist slamming into the mans now present arm, which blocked the punch.

"You're pretty fast, but not nearly strong enough!" He throws his arm back, sending me tumbling backwards.

"My Quirk lets me power up my muscles! I increase my speed and strength by increasing the amount of muscle fibers so much." He explains. "They cant be contained by my skin. What am I trying to say? I'm bragging!" He laughs. "In other words, you are a completely inferior version of me!"

He jumps forward, throwing a punch at me, barely being able to dodge. Within a second, he was behind me. He said something, I couldnt make out, and sent a bone crushing punch to my spine, sending me face first into the stone.

Even through the ringing in my ears, I heard Muscular's voice as he taunted me. "You'll definitely save him? How'll you do that? Don't just spout out lip service you cant actually pull off!" He laughs, causing me to grit my teeth. "Be honest with yourself!"

Muscular raises his fist right above me, ready to kill me.

Muscular pauses, a small clack sounded through the silence.

"Water Hose..." Kota murmurs, tears in his eyes. "Papa... Mama... Did you torment them like that, too, before you killed them?" Kota cries.

I let out a tiny gasp, my eyes as wide as dinner plates.

"Huh? Seriously? Your parents were heroes?" He spread his arms out, his grin almost seemed stapled to his face. "This must be fate! Water Hose... Its thanks to them that my left eye is an artificial eye now." He growls, pointing to his eye.

"Its your fault... Its because of guys like you... That it always, always turns out like this!" Kota yells.

"Kids are always shifting the blame like that." Muscular points out. "That's no good. Its not like I have a grudge about this eye or anything, you know. I just wanted to kill... And those two wanted to stop me." He smiles. "It was the result of all of us doing what we want." He shrugs. "What's wrong is wanting to do something you are unable to do." He pauses, raising his fist. "Like your mommy and daddy!" He yelled. His gaze snapped to behind him.

"Which means, your coming now aren't you, you piece of trash?" He says, turning around. I was already preparing One For All as I was flying through the air, anger and adrenaline overpowering my senses.

"Your the one who's wrong!" I yelled, thrusting my arm through the muscle on his arm.

'I got him! Now it doesn't matter how fast he is!" I yelled.

"And then what? Your gonna hit me with that weak arm of yours?" He yells, preparing to send a punch at me.

"It not a matter of whether or not I can do it!" I yelled back. "The job of a hero... Is to risk his life and make the lip service a reality!" I clench my fist. "One For All! 100%!" I yell. I felt my shirt deteriorate with how much strength that coursed through my upper body at that exact moment.

"SMASH!"

I felt my arms go limp as I raced to catch Kota as he was thrown off the edge of the cliff.

I managed to get a look down, and I felt my heart drop.

...If (Y/N) wasn't able to save herself in time...

...She's most likely dead...

"Sorry.." I muttered through the back of his shirt. Part of the upper half of my body was hanging off the side, my teeth clamped on the back of Kota's shirt. "...for blowing you away too..!"

I quickly pull Kota back to the mountain. I stand up, turning around.

"Th-thank--" Kota stares at me as I look away, a mix of blood and tears pouring from my face.

"Lets get back to camp.. Its not far from--" I was cut off as Muscular broke out of the stone covered in muscle. My eyes widened.

'No way... It cant be... I was at 100%.. It was the same as All Mights power...' I thought to myself, my adrenaline pumping again.

"That punch was to obvious." He grins. "But that wasn't bad, Midoriya!" He stands up and begins walking toward Kota and I.

"G-get away!" I yell, stepping in front of Kota.

"Naw. I feel like attacking now, all of a sudden." He chirps.

'What should I do? Think! I need time to think!' I grit my teeth.
"W-what are you trying to do?" I yell, taking a step forward. "What's the League Of Villains after?"

"How should I know? I just wanna fight." He responds, seemingly quickening his pace. "As long as I can stretch my wings and unleash my Quirk, I don't care." His shoes hit the cold stone in a trance like way, the sound bearing into my mind.

"Do you remember? Up until just now, we were playing..." He sticks a hand in his pocket. "I said so, didn't I? 'Lets play'?" He questioned. "Right? I said! But im done. Playtimes over." He chuckles. "'Cause your pretty strong." He places the thing in his hands over his artificial eye. "Now, im gonna look at you seriously." He removes his hand, a red, birdlike eye glowed in the darkness, not helping with my rapid heart rate.

I power up One For All quickly. "Kota, Grab on, Quick!" The second he touches me, im in the air, Kota on my back, just barely missing the attack Muscular sent towards me.

The impact felt like it shook the whole mountain, and it rose up dust and debris, as the attack hit through the mountain.

'It doesnt even compare to earlier! His speed and power... He was just playing..! He was really just toying with me as he tried to kill me!'

He turns his body and sends another fist into the stone, right past my head.

The impact sends me and Kota flying.

"Awe damn it, I got to excited." He growls, struggling as he attempted to pull his now stuck arm from the rock.

I skidded to the ground, attempting to keep Kota from getting harmed. I felt him slide off my back as we skidded to a halt. I sat upright, staring at Muscular.

'If we get back to camp, Mr. Aizawa should be there.. If Mr. Aizawa can erase his quirk...' I thought. 'Don't get scared... Can you get him as far as the camp without getting caught?' My mind starts racing again. 'Impossible. Your still tired from training. Dont think!' I scold myself. 'If you turn your back on the enemy in this state, then you'll just become prey. You have no choice but to fight and win right here, right now.' Beads of sweat rolled down my face. 'This is the only path you can take, Izuku Midoriya. Your gonna save him, right?! Remember where you came from!'

My eyes jolt open as I push myself onto my feet, my broken arms dangling to my sides. "Stay back, Kota." I murmur. "And then, when it hits, run as fast as you can back to camp."

"'When it hits'...? Dont tell me you're...!" His voice was full of mild panic and sadness.

My mind went straight to (Y/N), who could be dead right now, and I couldnt do anything to stop it. I felt anger bubble up inside me.

"It wont work! Lets run!" Kota suggests. "Your attack didn't work earlier!" He says, just as Muscular manages to yank his arm free from the cold stone that he had accidently incased it in. "Besides! Both of your arms are broken!" He yelps.

"Its okay." I say, One For All powering up, flowing through my body.

'One For All, 100%!' I clench my teeth as he comes shooting toward me.

"Midoriya!" He yells, coming toward me at inhuman speeds.

"Detroit..!" I yell, pulling my arm back, ready to punch him.

Muscles bundled together right at his head as my fist makes contact with him. "SMASH!" I yell, my arm hitting the center of the ball of muscle that was Muscular.

The wind picks up and my heels dig into the ground from the pressure that built up from around us.

"What's wrong? That was weaker than before!" He yells, pushing more power into his own attack.

Tears streamed from my eyes as my mind shifted to (Y/N) again. '...fine... Its fine...' I felt my body grow weaker. "I will not let him pass me! So...! Run!" I yelled as loud as I could, hoping Kota could hear me. "Run!" I yelled again, hoping with everything he would obey.

"This kid.." Muscular yells. "Man, your the best!" He presses onward and I feel the bones im my arm shatter, blood squirting from the wounds.

"Shut up!" I yell, more tears spilling from my eyes.

"Why...?" Kota murmurs, tears spilling from his eyes.

"Show me...!" He pauses, muscles growing on his calves, allowing him to push me back. "....Your blood!" He pushes me back into the cold, broken stone below us.

'A hero... Can always break out of a tough spot!' More tears spill from my eyes. 'Sorry, (Y/N)... Sorry, Mom... Im so sorry! All Might! All Might! All Migh...'

"Im gonna crush you!" Muscular yells, though I could barely hear through the ringing that filled my ears as my body yearned to give into the death that awaited me.

The stone underneath me gave away, my eyes closing, as I feel the power of One For All drain as my body attempts to shut itself down.

"Miaku! Now!" I hear a feminin voice yell as the figure on top of me was pushed away by a strong force.

My eyes flickered open as something soft coated most of my body. I jolted upward, white petals covered my wounds. My eyes were slightly blurring, though the second they focused, they blurred with tears again. (Y/N) was moving another giant petal dragon, attacking the muscular mess, who somehow couldnt seem to dodge the dragon.

Her (H/C) hair was tied back, blood stuck to her skin and some was running down her (S/C) face. running down her face. Her hands were a bloody mess, but she still continued to fight.

She sent me a grin, then smacked herself. "Midoriya. With the rest of your strength, can you get Kota go safety?" She questioned, focusing on the fact her dragon had started actually taking hits.

She steered the creature toward Muscular, letting out a huge roar, and forced its paw forward, hitting the man directly in the chest, smashing him into the wall.

She turned to me. She nodded towards Kota and I shook my head, attempting to stand up.

"Izuku. No. Take Kota to safety. I'll deal with this." She growles, turning back to Muscular, who had managed to get himself out of the stone. He took one look from her to the Dragon...

And charged at her.
