"I can't wait to see how surprised the villains would be when they realised it was just a clone!!"

"You are being sarcastic, right?" Kendo asked her classmate.

"Um, no..." Tetsutetsu said with an honest shrug.

--

"The bet isn't about whether the league kidnapped a clone, rather it's about if Midoriya would turn into a Villain or stay a Hero. Am I correct?" Nezu asked Alisha, who was sipping on her fruit punch.

"It isn't?" Midnight asked surprised.

"... You know, I could use a tutor for scho- I'm joking!! But yes you are correct." Alisha sighed gulping her drink. Nezu smiled amused by her reactions before paying attention to his pouting, former student.

~O~

"Compress? You got him?"

As soon as those words were uttered, Denki smirked before creating the world's loudest dry cough. Everyone's attention was soon drawn to the teen as he looked at Sero.

"Hey man, got the stuff?" Denki asked in a country accent.

"Yeah, case full, it is hidden in that alleyway over there but you'd have to hand me the Mula first," Sero replied after getting the memo. Bakugou looked at his two idiots before facepalming.

"Darn city-boys caring about money first, hand me the stuff first!!"

"CAN IT, YOU- YOU NIMSKULLS!!!" Bakugou yelled, feeling the secondhand embarrassment.

"Oh come on, we were about to reach the fight scene!!" Kaminari wailed. An obvious tick-mark poped off of Bakugou's head as he flexed his fist.

"Do you want me to start an actual fight?!"

"No thanks!!"

It'd be a deathmatch instead.

--

"I still believe Leader caught you, not the other way around," Monoma stated.

"I-... Thanks for believing in me Monoma-kun, it's nice to know that others believe in me." Midoriya stated wiping away a stray tear.

"Don't worry about it, we're friends right?"

The League was all gathered around the front of their new base which was basically a huge three-story building with an underground lab and a huge storage compartment surrounded by mountains on all four sides making it an undetectable and secure place.

And now, as a reply to Shigaraki's early question, Mr. Compress gave him a thumbs-up as he wiped out a small blue orb from his pocket.

"Good. Now," Shigaraki said, "Let's get him to Master. Don't want him waiting any longer do we?"

"Wait a sec, Deku-kun!! Didn't they mention that you were with Hatsume?" Uraraka asked facing her best friend. Midoriya speculated a bit before nodding, "Yes, but why are you asking that? W-WAIT WHAT MINETA SAID CANT BE TRUE SO-" Midoriya's flustering was stopped by Ochaco innocently tilting her head.

"Eh? I was going to say that she might have made a tracker!!" Midoriya's tomato face lessened as he nodded at her suggestion.

"That is a thoughtful suggestion, but... my on-screen self is planning to wreak havoc on both sides of society. I don't think a second kidnapping is going to be enough, so he might have more up his sleeve." Izuku muttered as Ochaco hummed.

"Makes sense." She replied with a low-animated face.

And so, all of them nodded as they stepped inside the base.

~O~

Everyone was left flabbergasted.

"It's the same with most of us here." Hawks replied pointing at a few villains and parents.

The League took Midoriya...

Every student present there just stood in utter shock, completely silent. There wasn't a sound except for breathing. Nobody moved from their places as the image of Bakugou being kidnapped by the League of Villains flashed in their minds.

The Bakugou in question, flinched as a transparent image of his kidnapping was shown on the screen. Mitsuki and Marasu looked at their child with worry as Masaru remembered how Mitsuki flipped over the dining table when she heard that Katsuki was kidnapped... The grief and anguish they felt that day was suffocating, looking at their friend Inko they wished that she didn't suffer that either.

And now Midoriya was gone...

"It's a shame they don't know this was a part of his plans." Momo hummed relaxing on her beanbag.

"That's true. Yet this dumb*ss here believes that it's just a clone, what type of clone can be made that well in just a month that even the skin feels the same as a human body??" Jirou questioned. Deleting the theory from most believers' minds.

Kaminari clutched his chest in hurt before sulking. Jirou looked at her seatmate before sighing.

"But... I guess in normal situations that would have been the most likely action." Denki brightened before looking at her skeptically.

"Then why don't you believe-" He was interrupted by Jirou.

"It's cause we watched UA Civil War first," Jirou replied, before hearing a giggle behind her. Turning, she faced the culprit, Momo who donned a satisfied face.

"May I say your conversations with each other are always cute."

•///∆///• "W-WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!" Jirou's ear jacks wrapped around their user to hide her face.

I never knew she could do that...

But unlike, Bakugou's kidnapping, Midoriya's was just too fast. They doubted anyone would have actually got hurt during the small-time the villains were on campus. But then again, they didn't hurt anyone; doesn't that mean they were planning something way bigger and way more dangerous than that?

"Yes, we are," Shigaraki said with a smile. So far his plans were going smoothly, he couldn't wait to succeed.

Just the thought of it made a chill run up their spines.

Just what exactly were they planning to do...?

More specifically, just what were they planning to do with Midoriya?

"More importantly, what is Boss going to do with them? I'm not even his Classmates yet I know he's gonna win." Hatsume responded as the Villain Team nodded.

However, her words also calmed the Hero Team. Yeah, Midoriya was wicked smart back then. I'm sure he still has more surprises up his sleeve!! They thought.

--

"They are obviously gonna have tea parties." Twice stated as if it was obvious.

"No seriously, what is your deal with tea parties??" Tensei asked facing the 'villain'.

"Nothing! - Everything!"

"Makes sense." He shrugged turning back to his mom to chat.

--

"In simple man's terms; we're going to adopt Midoriya-kun into the League Of Villains." Compress replied sipping on tea.

"Agreed, if he shows his psychotic side from UA Civil War, then you will try and recruit him to your league." Nezu hummed resting down his empty cup.

"...Hang on, how many people in this room are drinking tea?" Bondo asked confused.

A lot of questions came into their minds but they were soon brought back to reality by Present Mic's voice coming through the compact speakers installed in different places throughout UA High as he announced, "All the uninjured students currently on campus are to gather in front of the school building immediately. If there are any injuries, please report to Recovery Girl's office first and then meet up with your homeroom teacher so we can confirm if the total students on campus are safe or not. I repeat; kindly, gather in front of the school building..."

Aizawa removed his sleeping bag in unrest. "The one time you aren't yelling is because of problem child."

"Oh come on Shota! I haven't been yelling as much in here!! Right little listeners?" Yamada exclaimed, giving a cheeky laugh when Kirishima and Mina agreed.

--

"Oh, Yamada-kun..." Thirteen mumbled.

"He isn't yelling, why does that give me more anxiety than when he is yelling?"  Tamaki asked Neijire as she patted his head.

"That just means you have gotten used to him! Right Mirio."

"YEEEEEAAAAAAHH!!" Mirio mimicked.

His voice didn't have the usual funky nor eccentric tone. Rather it displayed his inner concern for the students.

Anyhow, the students collected themselves and made their way to the said location without saying a word. The guilty aura that surrounded the small group — Iida, Kirishima, Ojiro, Shoji, and Kaminari — said everything itself.

'It's all my fault...'

"Not really me, Midoriya was just too good at acting," Kirishima exclaimed.

'I should've been faster...'

'How dare they even...'

'Please, be safe.'

'I couldn't even move...'

"This was actually how I expected you all to act," Shigaraki said facing the students. Monoma grunted looking at the villain with disinterested eyes.

"We've seen UA Civil War, only a moron would doubt Midoriya now. Oh wait- I just described yourself." He taunted with eyes that screamed. 'Attack me if you dare!!'

"Ugh!!"

But if Midoriya was there; he would've thought that step one of his plan was going just fine.

"I'll be praying, but it wouldn't be for Midoriya-kun," Ibara stated facing the villains with sympathy.

"..."

"The bad*ssery in this is skyrocketing!!!" Kirishima praised with a fist bump.

--

"...I-I love this multiverse." Pony cheered with a few parents.

"Izuku, I hope you'll be okay!" Inko pleaded with a slight smile.

"It's okay Midoriya-san, Young Midoriya rarely acts without a plan, I'm sure he'll succeed." All Might reassured.

"I know he would, I'm just scared to imagine he may damage his body for the success," Inko replied, shutting Toshinori in the process. That is true, Young Midoriya may put himself in harm's way to succeed.

--

"Haha! I knew it!! Where's your smirk now hm, Crustface?"

"I would kill you if I wasn't cuffed with chain suppressants, wait..." Shigaraki motioned to his arms before grinning, walking over to Monoma, he swerved his arms backward like it was a baseball bat and collided it with Monoma's head.

WHAM!!

"MONOMA-KUN?!?!!!" Midoriya screeched horrified. In the background with the parents that weren't introduced, Beru was busy holding back an enraged Monoma-san.

"It isn't worth it- kero! We have the medical hero here!"

...

"You're... such.. a bratty pr*ck-" Monoma uttered before collapsing. Writing, "bratty man-child" in blood. Alisha teleported from her seat with Nezu to check on Monoma's condition.

"He's, okay. Just have a slight concussion. Um, Recovery Girl?" Alisha called out.

"When I thought this was my vacation."

"Would you like me to pay extra?" Nezu asked.

~O~

"Waah! Are you guys okay!? You didn't get hurt, did you?!" Ashido exclaimed as she latched onto both Uraraka's and Asui's arms.

"We all know Monoma isn't," Ashido responded to her counterpart.

"Don't worry, Mina. We're fine..." Uraraka replied.

"R.I.P. Monoma Neito," Kirishima added.

"Don't worry bro. He's accustomed to that." Tetsutetsu reassured.

I don't think that's the thing his parents would what to hear kid. Vlad King thought.

"Ribbit... Are you good?" Asui asked.

"I was just scared for you guys!" Ashido replied, pulling them into a group hug.

All the classes were gathered in a totally unorganized way in front of the school building, chatting with each other about the most recent incident. Reportedly, there wasn't a single student that got hurt in the very slightest. Just one or two teachers got a few scratches here and there just because they were up against the villains. But then again; the villains didn't seem to care about the fight. They weren't there for the fight. They were searching for something or someone. And they got what they were here for.

"If Deku-kun wasn't Kidnapped, I'm sure Iida-kun would have complained about how unorganized we were." Uraraka chuckled at the thought of an upset chibi Iida. Catching the Iida family's attention.

"Haha! That's true." Midoriya smiled along.

"We shouldn't forget that he'd attempt to slice the air in half," Todoroki added behind them alongside a sterned Tenya.

"Eep!"

"Attention, all students," Nezu said through a microphone as he stood on a podium to get the attention of all the students present there. The teachers, on the other hand, were all lined up on both of his sides with some definite gaping between them.

"I know you all are confused as well as shocked about the previous happenings but to resolve further commotions, I ask you all to kindly line up with each of your homeroom teachers so we can make sure everyone is here."

And so, twenty students rushed to Vlad King.

Twenty students gathered around Cementoss.

"My first screen time in a while," Cementoss added with a carefree smile.

A familiar amount could be seen surrounding Power Loader.

"Hey, it's you Sensei!!!" Hatsume pointed out.

"You look as tired as me, and that's saying something." Aizawa 'complimented'.

"I can taste your sarcasm from this coffee alone, I want you to spend a week with Hatsume as your student, let's see if you'd still be laughing." Power Loader threatened.

"Sensei!! I'm taking that as a compliment, so you mean that I am a hardworking and unforgettable person!"

"...yes."

And so, the same was for all the others.

Except, for Shota Aizawa...

"Oh yeah, Shinsou is a part of our class now so it's Twenty-one!" Toru hummed.

"That can't be it or they would have added the General Studies, it's because of Midoriya's kidnapping." Ojiro corrected his transparent friend.

"Seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty..." Aizawa counted the group of teenagers around him, "Twenty? There are twenty-one now, right? Is someone in the infirmary I wasn't informed about?" He asked.

"N-No, sir..." Iida weakly began.

"Tenya..." Tensei whispered solemnly.

Though at first Aizawa didn't ask for a further explanation, rather he first checked a copy of the class' attendance sheet to confirm the missing student.

"Midoriya. Where's Midoriya?" Aizawa asked, worry slightly rising in his voice. Of course, it was the problem child who wasn't there.

"Sensei!- Actually, that's fair." Midoriya huffed sitting back down with to a giggling Eri.

"Very." Aizawa retorted.

"Haven't seen him all day..." Sero pondered.

"Oh, wasn't he training!" Yaoyorozu pointed out, glancing at the ones who were training with him. But everyone silenced once they looked at the small group.

Iida, although, gathering enough courage, and said, "Mr. Aizawa.... Midoriya... Midoriya was... He was taken by the villains..."

...

"No lie, you seem like the type of kid to tell a teacher if someone's sitting on the table, so why didn't you inform them instantly?" Mirko asked the blunette.

"Well, my counterpart may have been I've ridden with guilt to think of that instantly, it's not the first time a classmate if mine git kidnapped." Idea replied fixing his glasses.

"Oh yeah, the Bakugou-kid."

"CAN YOU GUYS STOP BRINGING THAT SH*T UP??!!!!!" Katsuki growled.

--

"I want to continue what Monoma-senpai started but I don't what to be decked with a gauntlet-cuff-thingy." Pony sighed.

"How did he even get her to say that?!" Mineta wailed.

"Oh, Monoma was her translator at the beginning of the school year, so she sometimes calls him that of her own accord. He didn't tell her to call him that." Honeuki explained.

...

"What?!" The class gasped, horrified.

"What exactly do you mean by he was taken by the villains!? What happened?!" Aizawa asked, subconsciously stepping forward.

"They just... They just came in and... And there was that warp dude and they took him... We... We couldn't even... Help him..." Kirishima added to Iida's reply, making a short explanation.

"The lack of trust in Midoriya is large." Shinsou hummed thoughtfully.

"I didn't mean it in a bad way bro!! But I'm worried cause we're friends!" Kirishima explained.

"It's okay, Kirishima-kun. You don't know the full story like now so of course, you'd be worried, and the prolouge from earlier must still be haunting you." Midoriya smiled in reassurance.

"Remember when they thought there was a ghost, Fumi?"

"Weren't you a part of 'they'?" Tokoyami asked.

"We don't talk about that."

"Did they state their purpose?" Aizawa asked, trying to keep his composure. Midoriya, his student, was right now probably with the Symbol of Evil himself, he had every right to be worried about his safety. But he also had to keep the fact in mind that these students also didn't need to rush their feelings due to guilt like last time.

"'State their purpose' what are we? Movie antagonist?!" Spinner snapped.

"Yeah, like ALL Villains have to state a ridiculous long monologue to 'widen their presence'." Dabi coughed looking around.

Muscular began starting at his nails with such interest before looking at the wall.

"They expect me to be like; "Good afternoon, my name is Compress and I am here to Kidnap a green looking boy; We would love to adopt him to our side, as it is necessary for our leader, who grown out of his manchild habit, plans. Now that I have stated my purpose in taking said Midoriya, I bid you farewell." Would you actually sit there and wait for me to finish or would you attempt to beat the sh*t out of me?" Compress finished an echo of giggles behind him.

"Do you want to be in the same state as the Copy-brat?" Shigaraki asked holding up his fist with a menacing aura.

"I was only giving an example don't interrupt me from enjoying the film."

--

"Tehe, you made Compress curse, he rarely does that." Toga giggled.

"Now that you say that it does sound silly." Midnight sweatdropped stuffing her face in another flavored popcorn.

"..."

"...I realized I wasn't logical in my statement," Aizawa answered.

"N-No," Kaminari said, "They didn't say anything..."

"Head back to your dorms. I'll see the rest."

~O~

Midoriya opened his eyes slowly as he tried to take in the current situation he was in. The first thing he saw was how dimly lit the room was. As if the owner didn't want him to see much of his surroundings. The next thing he realized, he was strapped to a metallic chair. He gave it a jerk or two to see its efficiency but it didn't even budge.

There wasn't anything else he could take into account really since he couldn't move from a spot. But it all changed once the person who was apparently standing him came to meet him face to face.

"Excuse me, but what face does All For One have?" All Might asked confused. Causing a huge uproar as others began to laugh.

"And I wonder who made it this way?"

"I was the number one Hero, not the number one plastic surgeon, I don't know what you were expecting." All Might snapped back.

"What a sharp come back All Might, I approve." Best Jeanest nodded.

"DON'T DISRESPECT MASTER WITH YOUR FILTHY MOUTH!!" Machia yelled.

"Then can I? Cause if he hurts my baby All For One would be All In Pieces." Inko smiled a deathly yet motherly smile at Giantomachia.

"Erm..."

"You're up already? Not a very sound sleeper, are you?"

It took almost everything in Midoriya to ignore the intense and ominous aura the man called All For One had when he spoke those words.

"So it really wasn't a clone..." Tetsutetsu pouted.

"Yes, Tetsutetsu."

"It is about time we met face to face. I can tell you weren't very fond of our... Mental sessions. So, I decided why don't we cut them short and get straight to the point?"

"As a certified therapist, I have to say your skills are grrwoof!" Hound Dog exclaimed. Extoplasam held his friend.

"What a shame then..."

Midoriya bit his lower lip, not looking at the villain in front of him. He didn't reply. Like he never replied to him in those sessions as All For One called it.

"Hm. So, do you have an answer? Because you certainly don't have a choice, kid." All For One himself came closer to the boy, "Join us with your goodwill or I have to do it by force..."

"Midoriya was right, you are impatient. How did you rule over the underworld for so long? Why did I admire you?" Overhaul asked the crisped, potato-head on steroids.

"Don't test me." All For One threatened. Emitting bloodlust to the novice mafia.

His voice was so threatening and portentous, that anyone could have frozen in fear of the upcoming horrible events.

But not Midoriya...

For the first time in a whole month, Midoriya spoke back to him.

"... I'm in..." Midoriya replied, his head hanging low and his bangs covering his eyes as he waited for a response from the Symbol of Evil standing in front of him.

The color that drained from the audience's face as Midoriya said was devastating.

"...oh."

"Oh?"

"Worm?"

???

"DEKU WHAT THE F*CK ARE YOU DOING?!"

"Don't you already know the answer Kacchan?" Izuku asked his former friend.

--

"So a double agent huh." Hawks thought aloud, before gulping. Not good.

"This better be part of your plan kid." Vlad King spoke.

--

"This is part of the plan right?" Setsuna asked worriedly. Shoda looked at his classmate with one thought in mind.

Two types of people.

"DON'T WORRY THIS IS PART OF THE PLAN Y'ALL!!" Mina cheered.

"But the dream-" Eijiro was interrupted by his jittering senpai.

"Yeah! It must be part of his plan!!"

--

"Young Midoriya..." Toshinori muttered, he remembered all the time he faced again All For One, he was lucky to be alive, but- Midoriya is still too young. I don't want you to cut your life short...But the way you're facing him is different compared to the past users and myself.

"Izuku, please be okay!!"

All For One laughed.

"You're smart you agreed. I like that." He said, "This is just what I was looking for..."

At this statement, Midoriya looked up just a little bit only to see a wide smirk on All For One's face.

"Are you a baka?" Eri asked the villain. Those who heard her words gasped.

"Eh?"

"Mr. Deku would never be a villain!! You're a baka to believe him!!!" Eri shouted.

"I agree Young Eri." All Might said composed but in the One For All Realm, Nana could have sworn she saw Mist Might trembling.

"Pft-"

--

"What if I told you I have... let's say a lie-detecting quirk, would you think I'll still act as I did?" All For One threatened.

"What's with that face? Don't have anything to say?"

"Leave Eri-chan alone, she's entitled to her own opinion," Midoriya warned.

--

"I'm agreeing with Eri-chan."

"Yeah."

"Pftt- imagine being told off by a child."

--

"I can see how much of a moron you are."

"Hm? So he has something like a Lie Detector quirk, isn't that similar to a detective we know?" Tensei wondered. Toshinori's satisfaction ended as he realized that All For One may not be joking when he mentioned that quirk.

"Someone smart who can hold power without losing his senses..." All For One said in a hushed tone as he bent down just a little bit to see the boy's expression. A chill ran down Midoriya's spine when he saw the villain basically an inch away from him.

"Wait what about Monoma, shroom?" Komori asked. Kendo gave her a dead look.

"Does he look sane?"

"Actually- never mind, shroom!"

Midoriya was having a hard time holding up, huh?

"You will make a great asset to our organization after little modifications..."

"Wait, Midoriya is going to get more quirks?!" Some yelled as Midoriya gulped. This is such a gamble.

All For One stepped back while his right hand quickly latched into Midoriya's forehead as he used his quirk for the modifications...

Midoriya blacked out.

"Yeah, my anxiety is going to spike the more I watch," Tamaki stated with a bland expression.

Neijire held her friend's shivering arm as she smiled. "Hey, hey! Don't worry, there's supposed to have blankets at the back, if it's too much I can get it for you." Neijire suggested with a smile.
