Shinsou was out of the war.

"AND TEAM VILLAINS HAVE COMPLETED SIX OUT OF SEVEN OBJECTIVES!!! UNFORTUNATELY, HITOSHI SHINSOU LOST HIS POSITION IN THE CIVIL WAR FOR THE SIXTH OBJECTIVE!!!! BUT I DON'T THINK THE VILLAINS ARE DONE YET!!!!" Present Mic's voice echoed throughout Ground Beta.

Shinsou got up and sat up straight on the roof as Hagakure rushed out of sight and Tokage was released due to Shinsou loosening the binding cloth. Down on the road, Komori had blocked out Kendo and Tetsutetsu with a giant wall of mushrooms while Shoji — covered in bruises from continuously fighting — panted heavily. Yaoyorozu was ducked under the metallic shield covering her body. As soon as she heard Present Mic's announcement, she moved the shield and looked at the purple haired boy, sitting in front of her with his head low.

She knew. Everybody knew. How important this test was for him. How much he wanted to pass it. How much he wanted to be a Hero. But he sacrificed his only chance to finally be someone who wanted to be. For his Team. For a bunch of teenagers who he didn't even know about five days ago.

He lost because of them. He didn't want to fail them at any cost and he didn't. He did what he really want to. He didn't want to fail his friends after everything they did for him in those four days he was with them. He just wanted to repay them. Repay them with a chance of a perfect victory. For being his friends even though he would never agree on it.

"Shinsou...?" Yaoyorozu called out for the purple head.

"I did what I had to. I can't rely on everyone if I want to be a Hero. It was only my fault... I'm not ready yet. I still have a long way to go before calling myself a Hero." Shinsou replied as he stood up, and walked out of the battle grounds to join the others who were eliminated.

"But you are a Hero..." Yaoyorozu said as he walked out of sight.

~O~

Jiro detected the positions of everyone in the building using her quirk and motioned Mineta and Monoma to take their steps. Jiro stuck her earphone jacks in a nearby switch and sent a shockwave throughout the entire connection due to which the building lost power. Which meant there was only light coming from the windows. So, they had a better way to sneak out as — thanks to Hatsume — every Villain had special goggles to see in the dark.

After that, it was Mineta's move. Midoriya scared his pervert self for life in the past five days and now he was a little serious... but only for the test. Well, at least he was! Though, he made his way out of the empty room and, as Jiro instructed, left the purple balls of his hair on different locations to keep the Heroes in one place. Soon enough, the yells and shouts of the Heroes proved that most of them were stuck in the trap.

Next, Monoma moved with Jiro directing him through the communicators.

~O~

Uraraka and Iida entered the control panel as they pondered about their missing teammate, Todoroki. Nobody had seen since his fight with Shiozaki. They were quite worried about him as Present Mic also didn't announced his elimination. Then where was he? Second of all, they had been recently informed about Midoriya seen in the base. If the Villain Leader was himself in the base then who knows, what could happen. So, the entire Hero Team was searching up the base for the green haired boy. Uraraka and Iida ended up searching the control panel.

The control panel was a wide room with a few large windows on a wall at the backside with curtains covering them up. There was a desk and a swivel armchair behind it. The lights were off and the only light in the room was coming from the curtained windows. The person on the swivel armchair was with the back at the two Heroes.

"Well. Well. Well. Look who's finally here..." The person on the chair said. His voice hushed so Iida and Uraraka couldn't recognize it quite well. But the first thing that crossed their heads was that whoever that person was he was the Villain Team's Leader, Midoriya. They both took their fighting stances and took out their guns as well.

"Turn around and reveal yourself! We know you are the Villain Leader!" Iida said. The person did as he was told to. He turned the armchair around. Though, in the dark, the Heroes couldn't see his face. But the green color and curves of his costume gave away the idea.

"Am I?" The boy asked, tilting his head to a side.

~O~

"Dammit. What happened to the power system in the Hero base suddenly?" Power Loader asked.

"No idea. The backup generators aren't working there, either." Snipe added.

"Well, that's because you haven't been paying proper attention." Nezu stated. On seeing everyone's confused faces, he continued, "Kyoka Jiro here certainly did some malfunctioning with the entire system of the building causing the power failure! Now isn't that evil!"

"Yeah. But the bad thing is that we won't be able to see the villainy clearly in the low light...." Midnight said, while eating popcorn of course.

~O~

A few minutes ago, as Midoriya and Tsuburaba were crawling through the vents, the Villain Leader stopped dead in his tracks when he heard that Shinsou was out of the war. He didn't expected for this to happen. He didn't wanted for this to happen. Shinsou wanted to pass this war at all costs! He would be so heartbroken. And if he wasn't, Midoriya still was. He was the leader. And he didn't like the fact that he wasn't there for Shinsou. The plan had it so obvious! Yaoyorozu was supposed to cover Shinsou up! Unless something else happened that he didn't know about.

"Focus on the mission, dude..." Tsuburaba's voice interrupted him as he turned his head to look at him.

"Right. Extortion did it for us to continue. There must've been a situation. We should continue this and win it." Midoriya said in a low tone, so no sound would go out.

"Right. With Larceny and Pitcher we don't have to worry about the other Heroes. Though, I'm a little worried about dealing with Zero... What if he shows up instead?" Tsuburaba added.

"Leave him to me. Tell me are you sure that you're ready for it? Cause we can't make a mistake here." Midoriya stated.

"You can say I'm a little nervous regarding my performance... Do I look ready?" Tsuburaba asked.

"Eh. Dunno it's too dark in here." Midoriya replied with a smirk.

"Well then there's just one way to find out..." Tsuburaba said as he and Midoriya changed their paths and he came out into the control panel of the Hero Team's base. Now in the light of the room, Tsuburaba was showed to be in Midoriya's Hero costume — with the mask on — instead of his.

"Let's see if the Heroes can tell who's Deku."

~O~

Midoriya crawled out of the vents and found himself in the — what assumingly looked like — attic. Cardboard boxes, metal trunks and old papers filled the place, not leaving the massive amounts of dust on them.

He was, as well, wearing Tsuburaba's Hero costume from the very beginning. That was the reason why a mask was added to the costume. It was so that no one would realize it was Midoriya fighting as Tsuburaba. He was Kingpin. Midoriya and Tsuburaba were both disguised as each other. The Heroes saw Tsuburaba get in not Midoriya. Now, the Heroes would be busy with Tsuburaba as Midoriya would accomplish the task.

"Welp, let's search the objective up. Then I'll slaughter some Heroes." Midoriya said, shrugging as he started to look through the mess in the attic. Soon enough, he found what he was looking for, in a trunk. The last blue cube. The last objective to secure a perfect win and show UA what Team Villains was capable of. The Villain Leader took out the green card to secure the objective.

But just then, Katsuki Bakugou came storming in the attic room and delivered an explosion to the boy. As a result, Midoriya landed in the far corner of the attic, away from the objective.

"Don't. Even. Fucking dare to!! You damned extra!!!" Bakugou stated in a threatening voice as he entered the room properly. Midoriya quickly recovered from the blast but half of his mask was burnt, revealing his identity. Thankfully, due to the dark, his identity was still unknown to Bakugou. If his identity was revealed than the Heroes would know that he was never in the control panel and the last objective would become even harder to secure. He had to defeat Bakugou, without revealing his identity. Which meant he had to take him down without using One For All.

~O~

"Am I?" The boy asked tilting his head to a side.

'Where is his elimination device... We can't leave it when he's right in front of us!!' Iida thought to himself as he tried to search for the said device on the boy's costume, in the dark.

Tsuburaba — who was disguised as the Villain Leader — heard faint noises of explosions coming from the upper floor. He understood the situation quickly. Bakugou had found Midoriya but since the sound if explosions was coming then, clearly, Monoma and Jiro still weren't there with him. Midoriya wouldn't be able to defeat Bakugou without using his quirk. Should he risk his elimination and rush to Midoriya's side? Or should he just stall the Heroes?

"Dammit..." He cursed underneath his breath. Then he quickly shot up straight and looked at the Heroes. He said, "Alright. Let's see what you've got for me!" Tsuburaba jumped off the chair and faced the Heroes. Uraraka and Iida were already prepared and without wasting a second, both of them sat an aim on the device on the boy's costume. Taking an estimation regarding Midoriya's speed, both Iida and Uraraka fired. But Tsuburaba inhaled deeply and jumped out of the way. Then he exhaled, making the shape of a rectangle using his hands while activating his quirk. Both Heroes, unable to comprehend the move, got stuck in his air prison.

"W-What?! Deku, how?!" Uraraka asked as she looked at the boy. Tsuburaba stood up and came into the light and lifted up the green hood-like mask off his face. Both Iida and Uraraka stared at Tsuburaba in shock.

"You're not Deku?!"

"Oh. I'm Deku... Just not the one you know."

~O~

Yes, Tsuburaba was Deku and Midoriya was Kingpin this whole time. When I wrote the codenames I never clarified that Midoriya was Deku and Tsuburaba was Kingpin.
