"Alright, we're going to relay the mission one last time so nobody forgets about our objective." Aizawa, otherwise known as, Eraserhead, drawled out as his eyes swept over the group of pros, most of them being from the former Class 1-A, before turning to Detective Naomasa and gave him a nod.

"We're all going to be patrolling the Ever Green Forest, we have gotten leads that the serial killer might be hiding here and we need to capture that villain pronto," He stated, pointing down at the map laid down in the middle of the table, "There are a lot of secluded tribes and wildlife here so I suggest everyone to group up in pairs or triads, we'd rather not go bother them."

"Nobody is going to disturb these tribes alright? Just mark em down so we can record how many there are, I'm not sure how they'll feel if we just barge in and introduce our society." Most of the heroes nodded at this as they all began to get prepared.

"Alright! Let's move it! If that villain ends up stumbling upon a tribe who knows what'll happen!"

Red Riot and Eruption paired up to go into the east side along with Uravity and Duelement and some other heroes from other agencies. It was the biggest project this year and it had every right to be, the villain was ruthless, someone with brute strength, agility and some intelligence.

The villain had escaped an asylum and left it in a massacre then fled off to this forest so they had to detain him quickly before he adds any tribes to the kill list.

Luckily, they found the madman quickly though being psychotic made him more unpredictable and the villain easily escaped their grasps.

The Explosion hero cursed as he pursued him along with Duelement, Uravity and Red Riot hot on their tail as they all requested for back up.

None of them expected for back up to come quickly as the Forest was large so it surprised the four when a figure slammed down onto the far gone man.

The man infront of them was looking down, long violet hair obscuring most of his face with only the back in a form of a messy ponytail, scowling down at the hostile killer that was trashing but stopped when he added pressure onto his foot to keep him down, hands grasping just a little bit tighter to gain a pained wince.

The pro heroes were in awe, they were pretty sure this titan came from one of the tribes if the scars and tattoos across his body were anything to go by, not to mention that he was only wearing some kind of tribal shorts.

It was only when the Guardian looked up did they snap out of it, feeling drawn into those bright - and yet it looked so dead - radioactive eyes, something mysterious and powerful hiding behind those pair of jade.

"Get out of our sacred land, this is our tribe's territory, we do not want tresspassers running around here." He spoke in a gruff and deep voice, staring down at them.

Red Riot blinked in surprise, their was no mistaking that the man infront of him was their long lost friend. Those freckles that dusted his scarred face, those emerald eyes, even he hair, still curly, messy a bit long and lilac but he could see at the root it still had those darker shades of green.

"Midoriya...?" He whispered out - as he hadn't spoken out that name for almost five years -, stepping forward slightly as he couldn't really believe his eyes.

They all expected for that flash of recognition in his eyes, for his tense body to loosen - or tense up even more -, all they got was a confused looked from the young man, he did loosen up a bit but not enough for the villain to escape.

"Who the fuck is Midoriya?" Was all he said as if he never heard that name in his life, which was impossible, right..?

The silent atmosphere shattered when a bomb slammed into the man's back making him grunt and turn around slightly, only to get a giant whiff of the pink smoke that poured out of it, slumping beside the also knocked out villain.

"Are you four alright?!" Ingenium called out as he approached the shaken up four, checking for any injuries, "We thought the villain was about to attack so we had Midnight throw one of her-"

"I-iida." Uravity choked slightly as she cut their once class president off, tears welling up in her eyes. The other hero stopped, genuinely worried for his comrades because it seemed even Bakugou was scowling more than usual, Todoroki was unknowingly letting out spurts of flames or cooling down the area and Kirishima...

Kirishima was sobbing silently.

"We found Midoriya."

"Midoriya Izuku, you are under arrest!"

What..? Did I do something wrong?

"Traitor! You don't deserve to be in this class!"

It wasn't me! Please believe me!

"Togata should have had One for All instead."

Y-you can't do this to me! How could you?!

"Give it to him."

But- you-

...

Fine, alright. Just leave me like everyone else.

"You're dead to me Deku."

When have I haven't been?

"Are you the traitor?"

NO! I'm not the traitor please-!

"You're good enough to get past my quirk and the other pro heroes. We can't trust him anymore, he's been tainted."

I'm beginning to not trust myself either.

"This is Offic- Will you quit it?"

WE'RE HEADED TOWARDS THE EDGE, TURN NO-

"Help me..."

Why should I? I'm the traitor remember?
