It's been a week since Shigaraki became the leader of the Liberation Army. The LOV along with Akiba and Kivi are chilling in a room together eating sushi. Shigaraki is with Redestro. They have the tv playing the news over the Deika City attack. The Liberation Army faked the whole news out, so the LOV isn't in any way connected.

Dabi is sitting on the couch with Akiba and Kivi. The two siblings are eating along with the others. Dabi doesn't eat just leans back on the couch, watching everyone with disinterest.

"Ah... so this is what they mean by 'the calm after a storm'," Compress says, eating a piece of sushi.

"You didn't do Jack, man," Dabi scoffs.

"Haha, chill, I managed to escape just fine."

"Yeah, because of Apate over here," Dabi says, jerking his thumb at Kivi. "If she didn't lift all of us up on that platform, we'd all be goners."

"Which is why she's officially one of us now," Compress says.

Kivi rolls her eyes as she swallows another piece of food. What the fuck was I thinking? I should've just let them die.

"Dabi, if you don't want yours, I'm gonna take it!!" Spinner calls to him, talking about his portion of sushi.

"Yeah, yeah," Dabi waves off backhandedly. "Go ahead. I hate fish anyways."

"That explains a lot," Kivi says, eyeing his skin. "You might have better skin if you did."

Compress laughs. Dabi aggressively ruffles her hair with a snarl.

Twice continues to cry in the corner over a photograph of the sacrificed Toga that he cloned that he had to kill. "Waaaah... Toga-chan, I'm so sorry... If only she didn't spare her blood back then... perhaps she'd still be–"

"Could you stop that already?" Toga grumbles. "It's pretty disturbing to see that when I'm still alive."

"Now, now. We can't be going around disturbing others!" Twice says then kicks the small table the photo was resting on, taking a 180 on his personality. "Aaaah!! My leg is moving on it's own! What are you doing leg?!" He cries into another change. "I'm just a bad boy... please don't hit me..." Change. "Eeeh?! The hell are you saying me!?"

"Didn't he get over his complex?" Dabi comments. "Looks like there are even more of him now."

"Looks like his 'treatment' just made his condition worse," Spinner adds.

The doors to the room are opened and in walks two of Redestro's men.

"It's time. Let's go," the one with the long hair says. His name is Skeptic or at least that's what he goes by.

"SHUT THE HELL UP! I'M STILL EATING MY SUSHI!!!" Twice screams at him still in his identity crisis.

"Excuse me!? Who do you think paid for that sushi? Not to mention the video editing, Toga's coat, and Apate's new suit!" Skeptic growls, tick marks forming all over the bits of his face that one can see.

(Has an attached hood. Cloak covers full body when needed.)

"Yeah? Well, who do you think was the one who let that baldy stay in this cool ass hideout?!" Twice retorts.

"Stop it, Skeptic," the second man, Trumpet, scolds. "The supreme lea—Redestro chose these gentlemen himself, after all."

They all, except Aki who stays in the room, follow the two out into the hall all the way to a secret entrance.

"Ugh this place is so big," Kivi complains to herself.

"Although this may be the decision of Redestro, it is also the will of Destro," Trumpet continues.

They're taken backstage to wait for their cue to come onstage. Redestro is onstage, talking to the large crowd of people in his fancy wheelchair. Shigaraki sits in a chair as if he was a king. The two men, Trumpet and Skeptic, move on stage beside Redestro and Geten, the ice guy from before.

"My comrades of the Liberation Army! It is I, Redestro!" he announces. "Today, the Liberation Army will be reborn!!!"

Toga leans over towards Spinner in a whisper. "Weren't Tomura-kun's cute, little hands all crushed up earlier?" She's talking about how he still has a hand on his face like before.

"Apparently, one of them survived," Spinner whispers back. "It's a miracle it managed to stay in one piece after all that."

"Well isn't that convenient," Toga says.

"When it came to enlightening the world with the ideals of Destro, I had believed the League's existence was naught but an obstacle! Until that day, I had regarded this as the absolute truth! Oh, how blind I must have been! I was swept away by my blood; bound by my teachings. But on that day, I witnessed true liberation! Hear me! This is not surrender!!! The man you see before you, Shigaraki Tomura, is one who is truly liberated! He is the one who is worthy of the utmost reverence!"

"Holy fuck this guy talks too much," Kivi complains with a groan.

Dabi silently nods beside her.

"He is the one who is worthy of the throne! Starting now, the Liberation Army... shall carry out the resurrection, with Shigaraki Tomura as it's supreme leader! Together, we shall walk the true path of liberation! The Liberation Army and the League of Villains... shall henceforth be united under a new name!! This name was devised by myself, Redestro, and Spinner, of the League!"

"Ah..." Toga groans, getting impatient and beginning to walk forward. "C'mon, c'mon."

"And now! To do the honors... Shigaraki Tomura!"

The whole league steps out beside Shigaraki on stage with their own dramatic flare to fit their personalities or multiple there of.

"Abandoning the title of 'villains' in order to broaden the world's understanding of 'special abilities', we shall henceforth be know as... The Paranormal Liberation Front," Shigaraki announces the name. "Furthermore, I now designate the 10 members on stage with me as commanding officers, who shall coordinate our forces at their discretion."

(From left to right Redestro, Trumpet, Geten, Skeptic, Apate (Kivi), then you should know the rest.)

"Wow, there's a lot of people here," Kivi mutters to herself.

"Well... this new name is just like this script. Irrelevant. Go wild," Shigaraki finishes, causing the crowd to scream. 

They all get up and head back stage back into the hallways.

"What an excellent performance out there!" Redestro exclaims. "Would you perhaps like something to drink?"

"Get lost," Shigaraki huffs.

"With pleasure!" he quirks back, zooming away on his wheelchair quickly. "Let's get lost, detnerat!"

Trumpet sighs and follows after him.

"Is sucking up like that how he rose to so high?" Spinner questions, watching the two men disappear.

Shigaraki falls to the ground in pain once they're out of sight. "Ugh!"

"Hey!" Spinner calls out.

"Honestly, it's a miracle he's still alive with how much damage he took..." Compress voices.

"Apate," Shigaraki growls.

Kivi rolls her eyes and makes her way over to the man to heal his injuries. He didn't want her to heal him at first, saying he needed to withstand it. Kivi didn't care either way.

"That's quite the swanky name you've got now, isn't it?" a voice sounds off from Shigaraki's jacket. "Well, I suppose it's better than a cheesy sounding name like the League of Villains."

"I got Machia to obey me," Shigaraki says happily creepy sounding.

"Who's that?" Kivi interrupts.

Shigaraki gives her a glare. "Machia is the big guy at the very back of the crowd, and I'm talking to Dr. Ujiko."

Kivi remembers seeing the big guy in the back. "No idea who that is." She shrugs as she helps Shigaraki into a sitting position on the floor.

"I think I've achieved the 'bare minimum' you asked for, don't you think?" Shigaraki asks the doctor.

"Hmmm... Your memory has returned, and along with it, your 'quirk' has returned as well. As I promised, I shall grant you power. If that is what you desire," the doctor answers. "However... there's something I want you to do for me first. I want you to deliver something for me."

Kivi doesn't like the conversation that follows. Dabi nudges her to get her attention.

"What?"

"Come on, I want you to meet someone," Dabi says, turning and walking down the hall.

"Who?"

He doesn't answer her as they head out into the crowd area of where they just were. The people are all chatting happily with one another.

"Someone familiar," Dabi finally answers, spotting who he's looking for. "Hey, what are you doing, number 2?" Dabi walks up beside Hawks, getting close. "You look quite happy!"

"Ah! I'm looking forward to meeting the rest of the gang!" Hawks answers.

"Not quite yet," Dabi answers. "But I did bring someone with me." He turns to Kivi, making Hawks turn with him.

"Ah, you're the UA student that helped Endeavor and I a while ago. I was surprised when I saw you up on stage. Didn't think you'd be a part of something like this. Xantara, right?"

"Xantara is my hero name," Kivi scoffs. "I go by Apate here."

...

It's late December now and a few days before winter break for the students at UA. It's been 10 days since Kivi disappeared, and 9 days since the Deika incident.

Kaminari and Sero are making fun of Bakugo about his and Todoroki's interview they had because Bakugo was basically completely cut out. The reason being because of his shitty attitude and responses to the questions.

"He's a far cry from All Might..." Deku says before seeing Iida storming over. "Mineta-kun, get off the desk!"

Mineta is currently sitting on Midoriya's desk without a care. "He mad."

"SHUT THE HELL UP, DEKU AND BALLHEAD!!" Bakugo screams.

"It's already your third interview, and yet... you're really ruining the media's pristine portrayal of the 'provisional license incident,'" Momo sighs.

Iida scoops Mineta up from under his arms and sets him on the floor. He listens in on the news report Izuku is listening to on his phone.

"This concludes our interview with these new reliable provisional heroes," the news lady says. "We can't wait for them to begin their activities as pro heroes. Anything to prevent a repeat of the tragedy which befell Deika City."

Iida stands beside Izuku and Mineta watches from in front of him.

"Shut the hell up you bastards!" Bakugo shouts in the back.

"Today marks the ninth day since the incident. It took 20 people just 50 minutes to bring Deika City to the brink of annihilation," the news lady continues.

"I heard that the extent of the damage was even worse than in Kamino," Iida says. "Fortunately, the casuality count was limited due to the remoteness of the city."

"It seems the act was organized in order to illustrate the failure of heroes, but let's hear what the citizens themselves have to say," the news lady says.

"It would be foolish to blame Deika City's heroes. Rather, it's time we began discussing restrictions on quirk usage."

"The heroes aren't the ones to blame. You can investigate all you want now, but hindsight is 20/20."

"We want the heroes to keep doing their best! We'll do our best too, you know!"

A hero expert named Kuraitosu Aorio appears on screen. "In previous incidents in which the heroes were set up, they were the ones who accepted the blame. However, in this day and age, we have reached a turning point. Rather than placing 'blame' on the heroes, we have transitioned to giving encouragement."

"It's quite a different persepective from that kid back then," Ochaco speaks up, listening in and talking about the kid screaming about Endeavor long ago.

"Maybe it's cause Endeavor really tried his best!" Mina says.

"Don't be so optimistic!" a new female voice cuts in. "You might think that the winds are changing in our favor but if you look deeper down, what you'll find... is a growing sense of urgency and unrest. Were those really words of encouragement towards heroes? Or were they perhaps just a prayer for victory? Recently hero society became so tainted by showbiz. But now, heroes are back in demand in the truest sense!"

"Mt Lady!?" Izuku shouts in surprise, seeing her enter the room with Midnight behind her.

"AHHHHHH!" Mineta screams in fear.

Aizawa waddles in in his new walkable sleeping bag. "Since you guys are getting more media exposure now, I've invited a special guest," he says. "Midnight will chaperone."

"I haven't gotten any more exposure!!" Bakugo growls.

"Well do better next time," Kirishima says.

"I mean, I'm not one to talk, but isn't the showbiz tainted person right here?" Mineta accuses, poking Mt Lady on the thigh.

"Silence!!" she huffs, slapping his hand away. "Today, we'll be doing media training! The beautiful me will teach you how to properly behave as a hero!"

~~~

The final bell goes off for the day.

"That's it for today," Aizawa says, shutting the folder he had closed and getting into his sleeping bag. "Class is dismissed." He heads out the room.

Everyone keeps quiet as they pack their things. Once the end of the day comes and there's no more distractions of the day, everyone's thoughts veer off to Kivi and Akiba. No one has heard a word from or about them, and they're all worried. Shoto is the only one who knows a bit more than the others, but he's kept his promise to not tell anyone. Hitoshi hasn't said or made an appearance to any of them either. He's been avoiding them.

"We should be out there, looking for her," Kirishima decides to speak up.

No one responds.

"She's a traitor," Bakugo grunts. "Just fucking accept it."

"Come on, bro. Don't say that. Jeez, you're the last person I'd expect to say that," Kirishima sighs. "You're her best friend."

"She's a villain now."

"She probably had no choice! She was protecting Aki–" Kirishima is cut off.

"Think about it!" he growls. "She's the strongest fucking person in this damn school! If she couldn't save her brother nobody fucking could! She's obviously not here anymore because she doesn't wanna be a hero. She found an outlet to finally join them. She's willingly being a vill–"

Shoto, out of nowhere, comes up and punches Bakugo on the cheek with as much force as possible, throwing the blond to the floor. Everyone gasps in surprise not expecting him of all people to do that. "Don't you dare fucking talk about Kivi like that! You of all people know better! You have no right to sit there and accuse her of something so sinister!"

Bakugo holds his bruising cheek, silently glaring at the floor with anger written all over his face.

"Uhmm..." Izuku mumbles. "I-I... wasn't as... close to Kivi as the two of you, but she... said something to me after picking up her little brother from preschool, that threw me off. She said if it wasn't for Akiba, she would've been a villain. I'm not saying she is a villain, but I... I'm not gonna throw away the possibility."

"Why would she say that though? It doesn't make any sense," Momo says in thought.

"She's been so driven to be a hero, why would Akichan be the one to change that?" Mina questions.

"Are you all forgetting that she's a pro hero, the number one at that, in the future?" Sero exclaims. "I was there."

"The future can be diluted sometimes," Tokoyami says.

"I refuse to believe it," Sero claims, crossing his arms.

"Yeah, Kivi may be really mean sometimes, but she would never be a villain," Kaminari says.

"We need to get her back!" Ochaco shouts, curling her fingers into a determined fist. "Who's with me?!"

"Yeah!" they all shout.

Bakugo snarls and stands up. He glares at everybody before stomping out the room and slamming the door shut behind him. Little explosions go off in his hands as he stomps down the halls, finding a place where no one will find him. "FUCK!" He shouts angrily as tears blur his vision, punching the wall beside him which makes it form spiderweb cracks underneath it. He slumps his back on the wall, sliding down into a crouch. "Dammit dammit dammit! What the fuck is taking you so damn long to get back here?!"

...~~~...

Sorry for this taking so long. It's not that I don't wanna post and write more for this, it's that I need to know what's going to happen and how it will be resolved before I put out more chapters. The manga is starting to get really intense and a lot is going on and a lot of new characters are being introduced that you don't even get to know their names yet. I need to know more about the new Paranormal Liberation Front and everything before I give you more.

A big WAR arc is about to happen and fans are speculating that a lot of pro heroes are going to die. Some are even saying Bakugo might die, though I doubt that. BUt I'm sure at some point someone in class 1A is going to die.

ON the other hand, I have other BNHA/MHA stories that you can read until then. One is an OC x Aizawa and the other is OCBakugo twin x Kirishima. If you're into them. You can read them if ya want... I guess... It would be nice though. Go to my profile to find them. Pwease. 🥺🥺🥺

50K reads?!?! Guys I love you! 🥺😭
