Mustard looked around himself, making sure not to lower guard and always keep it up as he proceeded to make his way towards the more isolated parts of Deika City in order to make a perfect place from where he would unleash his sleeping gas attack on the members of the Meta Liberation Army. Even after he would find himself in his destination, he would still have to watch out with his sleeping gas and spread it carefully across the city in order not to put his fellow villains from the League to sleep.

At least he was certain Mr. Compress and Dabi won't be affected by his sleeping gas if things will not go according to the plan as he knew where they were right now, having been with them for the first few minutes of the attack before splitting up from the to do his task and was not going to direct his sleeping gas towards the location he suspected them to be in right now. He had no idea where the rest of the League was but wherever they were, he hoped they were coping with this situation to the best of their abilities and that they wouldn't find themselves in the middle of their gas attack.

The masked villain stopped himself in the middle of the street somewhere in one of the isolates parts of Deika City and nodded to himself, knowing it was the perfect place to begin his sleeping gas attack on Re-Destro's goons. It was isolated from the rest of the League, just like the part of the forest where he began to spread his sleeping gas during their attack at U.A's camp was. Or at least he hoped it was isolated from the rest of them. Dabi and Mr. Compress were the only members of the League he knew the location of right now.

Just as he started to spread his sleeping gas around him, several members of the Liberation Army hopped over the fence next to him right into his view. Not wasting any time, they charged at him with the intention of putting him down as Mustard didn't think much of them, because he knew he will put them to sleep with his sleeping gas before they will even get a chance to get close to him. It was exactly what he did, spreading his sleeping gas around the area around him.

He nodded to himself with a satisified look on his face, hearing how some of his attackers collapsed on the ground like a ton of bricks before they reached him. His satisified expression didn't last for long, though as he detected some movement within his sleeping gas. He detected a lot of movement within it. He knew it meant only one thing. At least a few of them must have somehow avoided getting caught in his sleeping gasp.

He quickly readied his pistol and aimed it forward himself, sensing one of the members of the Liberation Army heading towards him from this direction. He wasted no time and fired his pistol towards this unknown person. It was quickly followed by the sound of a human body falling to the ground like a ton of bricks. Knowing this person would not be a problem to him anymore, he shifted his attention to the other person he had detected in the cloud of his sleeping gas.

He once again fired his pistol, resulting in this person following the fate of their comrade and landing on the ground. He followed his action a two more times, beginning to realize how he had only three bullets left in his pistol and how he had to ready himself to change the clip as soon as possible. A familiar sound of someone hopping over the fence and landing the ground rang through his sears as soon as those thoughts flew through his mind.

It was when he realized something. More members of the Meta Liberation Army must have arrived here in order to stop him from spreading the sleeping gas further into Deika City. His eyes widened in alarm as he detected a person attemping to jump at him from behind. He stepped to the side a second after he detected them, causing the man to land on the ground and slid across it him out of his view.

Before this unknown man slided away from him, Mustard managed to notice something about him out of the corner of his eye. It was a gas mask. Similiar to the one the U.A students wore when they attacked him back when the League attacked their summer camp. At least he now knew how the members of the Liberation Army managed to avoid getting put to sleep by his sleeping gas, despite the answer to this seeming pretty obvious to him.

He quickly stepped to the side, detecting one more person charging towards him from this side as he aimed his pistol at them and fired. The bullet hit them right between their eye, ending their life in an instant as Mustard detected people coming towards him from every possible. He shook his head, knowing things were far from perfect right now. The fact how he had only two bullets left in the clip of his pistol was certainly not helping his situation.

Mustard continued to move around the cloud of the sleeping gas he had formed around himself a few moments earlier, avoiding every possible attack directed his way from his opponents. He fired his pistol again several seconds later, finishing off the person who managed to get a bit too close to him and was left with only one bullet in his pistol. It made him shake his head again, knowing how he had no time right now to reload his weapon.

His eyes widened a second later, having just detected someone right behind him and instantly readied himself to step out of their way to avoid their upcoming attack. It was when his luck ran out, though as a woman managed to grab him from behind. Mustard's pistol fell out of his grasp. He didn't pay much attention to it, though as he squirmed in the woman's grasp in a desperate attempt to free himself from her grasp.

Everything just went worse from there as all of his attempts were in vain. An unknown man rushed towards him and the unknown woman, intending to help her in taking care of Mustard. Not wasting any time, he put his hands around Mustard's gas mask and took it off. As soon as this happened, Mustard held his breath and quickly caused the sleeping gas around him to disappear in order to prevent himself from putting himself into sleep with his own power.

As soon as the cloud of his sleeping gas faded away, he got a chance to witness the scene he had created. Six people laid there on the ground with bullet holes between somewhere on their heads and several more people with masks surrounded him. The man who took off Mustard's gas mask stepped away from him as the woman behind him released him from her grasp as she knew didn't had to hold him in place for any longer.

Mustard looked around himself with a slightly panicked look on his face, knowing how screwed he was right now and he was only reassured in this belief when the members of the Meta Liberation Army began their assault. It began with the unknown woman. She punched him in the face, causing him to stumble backwards towards the man who was holding his gas mask. The unknown man wasted no time and punched him in the face as well, sending him stumbling over to some other member of their group.

This member of their group didn't punch him and blasted him with his power, sending him flying away from them. Mustard clenched his teeth as he slided across the ground, hearing how it was scraping his face. He landed a few meters in front of them and pushed himself up from the ground slightly. He reached his hand out towards his right cheek, touching the scrape he had just gotten there and cringed to himself at the pain he was feeling right now.

"So it is true." The unknown man said, taking off her mask to reveal herself to be a woman in her mid 30's, "Your gas mask isn't just a cosmetic choice. You have to wear this everytime you use your Meta Ability to stop yourself from getting affected by it."

Mustard let out a humorless chuckle, "You really had to confirm this to yourself? Wow. You can consider me impressed. I thought it was pretty obvious."

"I see the part about your attitude is true as well." The unknown woman noted as she looked at the man next to her and nodded at him. The unknown man nodded back, crushing Mustard's gas mask in his hands as if it was a soda can without any problem, "This really makes me wonder. Is everything your former schoolmates and teachers from Kuata Junior High said about you in the media also true?"

Mustard narrowed his eyes at her, lowering his head at the mention of his old school, "Shut up. Don't talk about my old school. Don't talk about those assholes."

"Hmm. I seem to have a struck a nerve in you." The unknown woman nodded to herself as he stepped closer to Mustard, "Tell me Kataoka Hiroto. Is everything they've been saying about your school time in the media was real? Were you really a student who got himself into fights with innocent students on a daily basis and deluded himself into believing himself he will become a hero, despite doing such things?"

Mustard glared at her, "Why the fuck should I tell you?"

"Because a much younger cousin of mine used to attend Kuata Junior High and was present during the graduation when you did your little stunt. I was also one of the first policemen to arrive at the scene. You can call it a familial curiosity regarding a family member of mine and a professional curiosity from my job point of view." The unknown woman explained as her subordinates took of their masks, one by one and breathed sighs as they allowed them to taste the air for the first time in the last few moments, "This is why the Grand Commander assigned the task of taking care of you to me. He felt like I deserved to confront you about this. He expected you would try to distance your comrades and try to spread the gas across Deika City to put our fellow Liberation warriors to sleep."

"I see." Mustard nodded in understanding, beginning to push himself back into his feet, "Well. You won't be getting any answers about this out of me as I sure as hell ain't gonna to talk about with complete strangers. I'm not even comfortable talking about it with people I am calling my comrades. Do you really thought I would share it with someone who I don't know and just tried to attack me?"

"I see. So I'll take what the media said about you as the truth. That's unfortunate as I hoped I would get a chance to hear this story from the point of view of the perpetrator before getting my job with you done." The unknown woman narrowed her eyes at him as she stepped in front of him and directed a firm kick into his face, sending him flying backwards, "You know how your teachers and schoolmated called you. Right? You know how they called you a problematic child who threw a tantrum when he didn't get what he wanted. Tell me. Is this true? Were you really just a brat who got angry when things didn't went his way? Are you okay with your parents feeling left hurt by your little tantrum?"

Mustard slided across the ground and landed in a small distance, about three meters' away from the unknown woman. His face faced the ground as he felt himself growing slightly regretful at the thought of his parents, "S-Shut up."

"You know I ain't going to shut up. Not until you will start giving me answers." The unknown woman pointed out as she snapped her fingers, causing her comrades to advance towards Mustard, "Tell me. What really happened at the Kuata Junior High? As a family member of one of the students affected by your little stunt and as a police officer who took care of the scene you left behind, I want to know the answer."

"D-Do you really want to know the answer? Do you really want to get a confession out of me? " Mustard asked, looking up at the unknown woman as her subordinates crowded around him. If she really wanted to him to get her the answer to this question, then he was going to give her exactly what she wanted. He intended to add a comment of his own afterwards, though, "The truth is I gave those assholes exactly what they deserved and I would gladly do it again. They saw a villain in me and treated me like one, despite my desire to become a hero and me trying to play nice throughout my entire education there and I gave them exactly what they wanted. To be honest I'm not even suprised about you being related to someone who used to attend that shithole. You're just as much of a bitch as the rest of them."

"You really should watch your language around other people, you stupid brat." The unknown woman glared at him with deadly intentions in her eyes as she once again snapped her fingers, alllowing her subordinates to do their work. With Mustard giving her his confession which was his goal, she had no further need to keep him alive, "You really have a nasty mouth, you know? I feel like someone needs to silence it. For good."

Mustard didn't got a chance to say anything about this as he was received a firm punch to the face. The punch knocked him to the ground and the members of the Liberation Army wasted no time and started beating him, hitting and kicking him every they could on his body. The unknown woman watched everything with a satisfied look on her face, enjoying watching how the boy who hurt her cousin was getting what he deserved from her point of view.

The teenage villain didn't do anything to save himself from the situation he found himself in as he knew he couldn't do anything about it right now. If he would try to release some of his sleeping gas at the people beating him right now, then he would put himself to sleep and would leave himself in a completely vulnerable position for someone to kill him. No matter what he would try to do right now, he was screwed.

He clenched his teeth, shaking his head in disbelief as he couldn't believe this was how everything would end up for him. He couldn't believe his old school would screw him over again in some way. He knew he would easily get himself out of this situation if he could stop himself in some way from getting affected by his sleeping gas but unfortunely he wasn't wearing his gas-mask right now and he doubted he would be able to hold breath for long enough, considering the constant beating he was receiving right now.

Various images started to fly through his head as he continued to lay on the ground and allow himself to get beaten to death. Those images showed his comrades from the League and all the times he liked their company. He thought about Dabi, Y/N, Origami, Mr. Compress, Spinner. Simply everyone from the League right now. The last image that flew through his head was an imagine of Toga with her usual excited bright smile on her face.

This day was like any other day for Hiroto Kataoka. He woke up in his bed, preparing himself breakfast and something to eat later in school and made his way to his junior high known as Kuata Junior High before the classes will start. Upon arriving at the classroom where some of his classmates were already waiting for the first class to start, he wasted no time and made his way to his desk before sitting down on his seat.

After making sure everything he would need for this class found itself on top of his desk, Hiroto knew he had to find a way how to kill some time otherwise the wait for the class to start would just feel longer than he wanted it to. Since not a single one from his classmates came to talk with him, just like they would for most of the time, he decided to kill this waiting by his favourite way. By drawing.

Not wasting any time, he reached into his backpack and pulled out his drawing book and a pencil he normally used when he was drawing in it. He opened the notebook on the drawing he was working on right now and went to work right away. He wouldn't call his most recent drawing anything extraordinary. It was a simple drawing of a brown haired bunny girl and a person who had their face entirely covered. They came from an anime based on a gacha game that he recently watched. Not having any idea what he should draw, he decided to draw these two characters.

The class began shortly after, making him stop what he was doing and put his drawing book back in his backpack. The class went normally for the first few minutes until his homeroom teacher brought up the matter of the schools her students were planning to head to once they will be out of junior high. Unsurprisingly, a good portion of his classmates

Everything changed when his choice of high school was brought up by his homeroom teacher...

"Kataoka-kun. You wrote down you that you also want to go to school with a hero profile?" Was what she said when it was his turn.

The atmosphere in the classroom completely changed as soon as she uttered those words. Before his turn came and someone showed interest in the hero's work, his classmates and hrmeroom teacher showed encouragement. When his turn finally came, the classroom was engulfed in a total silence as if everyone was baffled by the thought of him becoming a hero. Hiroto held his breath at the silence he found himself in, feeling himself becoming uncomfortable by it.

It was when the whispers started...

"Kataoka-kun wants to join a hero course?"

"He really thinks he will get accepted into the hero course? Is he really that stupid?"

"I know, right? There's no way he'll he accepted into the school that he wants to attend."

"Yeah. They will reject him the moment they will find out what kind of Quirk he has."

"There's no way someone with a villanous Quirk like him can become a hero."

Hiroto shook his head to himself, letting out an internal sigh as his classmates weren't exactly discreet with their whispers about him. Those kind of whispers became a common occurrence in his classroom after his power became known to his classmates. Everyone around him liked to write him off as a potential villain because of his villanous Quirk, despite him showing interest in heroes as much as everyone else his age does and participating in discussions about various heroic acts they committed.

Or at least he tried to participate in them whenever they happened. Those discussions would always seem to stop whenever he would try to add his own part into them as no one from his class seemed to be interested in having a discussion about this kind of work with someone with a Quirk such as his. It left him completely excluded from all the friends groups in not only his class but also in his school, making him sit alone whenever lunch break came.

"Kataoka-kun. Can you stay for a moment after class? There's something I want to talk with you about." His homeroom teacher said, causing Hiroto to shift his attention from the whispers to her.

He nodded at her, showing her his acknowledgement of her words, "Okay."

"Higashiyama-sensei wants to talk with him?" A whisper echoed from behind him right after, "I wonder what this will be about?"

"Do you really need to ask?" A second voice replied, "She'll tell him that his idea is completely pointless and how he should consider something else. Even a blind person would see that Kataoka-kun is someone who will never become a hero."

Hiroto once again did his best not to pay attention to those whispers as the class continued and more and more of his classmates got their plan for future school revealed by his homeroom teacher. By the time the class came to an end, he and his classmates packed their school equipment into either their bags or backpacks and walked out of the classroom. Except except for Hiroto. He remained in it, just like he was told to by Higashiyama-sensei.

He walked over to her desk with a questioning look on her face, "You wanted to talk with me Higashiyama-sensei?"

"Yes. I want to talk with you about your choice of career." His homeroom teacher nodded at him, "Kataoka-kun. Haven't you considered doing something else than a hero work?"

Hiroto raised his brow at her, "What?"

"I'm merely pointing out to you how you shouldn't expect to be accepted into a hero course. You should other paths for your own good because it may not end well for your and your future. You like to draw, right? Maybe you should have choose something related to this instead." Higashiyama-sensei voiced her intention to him. Despite her using such choice of words, he knew his Quirk must have had something to do with it. Before it was his turn, she was encouraging everyone when they voiced their desire to become heroes. When his turn, however, her reaction was something completely opposite.

Hiroto left the classroom shortly after, feeling conflict rise within him at the thought of his homeroom teacher not believing in him and telling him he should think of something else than a job of a Pro-Hero. Wasn't she supposed to encourage her students about their choice of careers. Wasn't she supposed to help him achieve the career he wanted instead of trying to discourage him and telling him to go for something else instead.

He sighed to himself, trying to push those thoughts out of his mind as he didn't want to ruin his mood today. No matter what happened during his first class and no matter what happened during his conversation with Higashiyama-sensei, things couldn't get worse for him today. Right? He was unfortunely quickly proven wrong as a certain he wished he wasn't as familiar with as he used to be rang through his ears.

"Hey, villain wannabe!" Hiroto stopped as soon as this voice rang through his ears, knowing trying to walk away from it will just make things worse, He turned around to look this person and was greeted by the grinning face of Sousuke Okajima. His twin brother Gakushu was right behind him, "We talked with one of your classmates and she revealed a certain interesting fact about you to us."

Hiroto sighed, "Just leave alone, you two. I don't want to tell with this right now."

Sousuke put his hand on his shoulder, "Deal with what? Me giving you a reality check? How stupid you must be if you think someone like you can become a hero like All Might or Crust or Mirko?"

Hiroto placed his hand on Okajima's and took it off of his shoulder with an annoyed look on his face, "There is nothing stupid about wanting to be a hero. I can be a hero just like any other person in this school. So many of our schoolmates have the same interest in becoming a hero and yet everyone seems to be having problem only with me."

Gakushu crossed his arms with an amused look on his face, "Wow. You really are stupid if you can't see it. What hope does a future villain freak like you have of becoming a Pro-Hero?"

Hiroto clenched his hand, "As good anyone else."

"Really?" Sousuke chuckled, "Because I just can't see it. Is it really so hard for you to accept how your Quirk will never be a heroic one and how you will never become a hero?" The amusement in his voice grew as he leaned closer to Hiroto and pushed him slightly backwards, "Your parents must be having a really rough time with you. Just thinking about how big of an idiot is with his naive plans for his future must be making them really sad on the inside. Or perharps they are just as stupid as you are and think someone like you can become a hero. Or perharps they are too busy having fun across the ocean without you? It's not too suprising to me to be honest."

Those words got on Hiroto's nerves. Sousuke and his brother could insult him about his dreams for as long as they wanted to. The same went for everyone else in his school. He was not going to accept the fact how Sousuke just insulted his parents and tried to tell him how they were spending them across the ocean in America just to get away from him. Despite them spending a lot of time in America because of their jobs, his parents really loved and always supported him the best they could.

Hiroto wasted no time and headbutted Sousuke as Sousuke stumbled backwards, clutching his forehead in pain. He quickly collected himself, though and marched towards Hiroto, with Gakushu moving in to join him. It wasn't too long before this small confrontation escalated into a fight between all three of them. The crowd of students gathered around all them as the fight continued.

With all this commotion in the hallway, it was only a matter of time before a teacher would arrive at the scene to separate the fighting students. Two teachers arrived at the scene shortly after and Higashiyama-sensei was one of them. Not wasting any time, the two teachers separated the fighting students from each other and began scolding them about starting a fight in school.

Hiroto decided to ignore most of the scolding and it was the usual talk the teachers were giving after separating fighting students. His attention was immediately caught by the words Higashiyama-sensei uttered once she was done with one part of her scolding, "...You really should work on your behavior, Kataoka-kun."

"What?" Hiroto asked her with a suprised look on his face as he was slowly starting to realize where this was going. Was he really going to be put as the cause of the problem again even if he wasn't the one who started it. He was provoked by Sousuke. He pointed at the twins in front of him, trying to defend himself from the accusation, "I didn't start it! They were the ones who started it!"

"No. We didn't." Gakushu shook his head, "Me and my brother just came to talk with you and you headbutted him for no reason."

Sousuke nodded in agreement, "Yeah? Why did you attack me? I just wanted to have a normal conversation."

Higashiyama-sensei pointed at them with a stern look to her face, "See? Why are you lying, Kataoka-kun? Do you really think you will be accepted into a hero school if you will keep pulling out stunts like this?"

"Why do you always keep believing other students and always write me off as a liar?" Hiroto wanted to know. Was this because of his villanous power? Was this because people thought a person with villanous power was always at fault? Even when they weren't.

"Because it is always your fault, no matter how many times you insist it isn't." Higashiyama-sensei pointed out, annoyed by having to remind him about it, "You always lie to get yourself of the situations you started in by not being nice to your fellow students! Why can't you see your faults for once?"

"...But!" Hiroto tried to point out to her how Sousuke and his brother were the ones who started this by coming to him just to insult him and his parents. Higashiyama-sensei was not having any of this, though as she had already made up her mind and was not planning to change it.

"No buts. Just go to your classroom before another you will start more trouble. We will come back to this conversation later." Higashiyama-sensei cut him off, not even bother to hear his side, "You should better change yourself if you really want to become a hero."

A fearful expression grew on Gakushu's face as he pretended to show fear towards Hiroto, "Someone like you should be locked up before you will cause any harm to other people. If you really do something like this to someone who just wanted to have a friendly conversation with you, then I don't want to know what will happen if you will get a hero license."

Sousuke nodded in agreement, doing the same, "I couldn't have put that better myself, bro. Seriously. What's wrong with you? We just wanted to talk."

Hiroto stayed silent, refusing to listen to any of this as he followed Higashiyama-sensei's words and started to make his way towards the classroom where his next class would take place. He pushed through the crowd of watching students, wanting to put his situation behind him as quickly as he could as he didn't want to deal with more feelings this situation was bringing him.

He lost the count of how many times a situation like this happened after he started attending this school. Because of his villanous power and his interest in heroes, he became an easy targets for bullies such as the Okajima twins and everyone always took the side of the bullies everytime when he tried to fight back against them. He was always written of a liar by his teachers and the staff whenever he pointed out to them how he was never the one to start those fights. Why should they bother to hear his side if they already had their minds made up, right?

As he continued to distance himself from everyone, he managed to overhear a part of what Higashiyama-sensei was saying, "...If he will keep going on like this, a path of a villain is all he will get from life."

He clenched his hand upon overhearing her words. She really thought a path of a villain was all he will get in life just because he fought against his bullies while having a villanous power? It was when he made a promise to himself. He was going to prove her wrong. He was going to prove everyone wrong. He was going to become a hero and will show everyone even people with villanous powers like him can help people.

Or so he thought...

Once the day of him receiving the letter from the hero school that he wanted to attend came, he was greeted with a large red word "REJECTION" written in the center of it. He was rejected. He was not going to become a hero. He was not going to use his power to help save other people. Everyone at his school was proven right, despite his attempts at trying to prove everyone wrong for the last few months.

He clenched his hand at the view of this letter. He wanted to be a hero and everyone rejected him. They rejected and treated him like a criminal just because he wasn't born with the right Quirk. The teachers at his school either turned blind eye to everything or always took the side of people mistreated him. Just because he was always the bad guy in their eyes because of his villainous powers. despite him having interest in becoming a hero and saving people.

All of this happened to him was just because he wasn't born with a flashy Quirk that would fit everyone's definition of a hero. He couldn't help but ask himself as this horrible realization hit him like a ton of bricks. What was wrong with him having the wrong Quirk? He wanted to help people. He wanted to save people. This is what should matter, right? Heroes are supposed to help people, no matter what kind of power they had. What so wrong with him having the kind of power he has? It could be a massive help to all kinds of heroes in apprehending dangerous villains.

He clenched his hand at the negative emotions going through his body right now as he knew his limit had just been breached. He was done with them. He was done with everyone from his school. He was done with the hero society. They wanted wanted a villain? He was going to give them a villain that they so desperately wanted to see him in him. He was going to show them what he can do with his power. He was going to show them all. He was going to show them what a villain they had created with their actions and strange prejudices was capable of.

It was when an idea of getting back at everyone who thought it would fun to mistreat him for his villanous began to form in his mind. He still had some time until the graduation from his school. He just had to get everything ready for plan he was about to put in motion during the graduation. He was going to show them all what he could with his power. He will show everyone from his school. Everyone.

He had everything ready by the time the graduation day for his junior high came. The gas mask he had bought in the pawn shop wasn't the best kind of gas mask, but he tested it in his house and knew it would keep him from getting affected by his own sleeping gas during his plan. He had his school uniform on himself as well. He was going to wear his school uniform for every villanous act he was about to commit. He was going to show the world what kind of school made him into the villain that he will became known as after what he was going to do during the graduation.

He moved out of his house after making sure he had everything he needed for this little operation of his and made his way to his school. Upon making his way to his school, he waited until his name would be called out for his diploma. Once he didn't came out, it confused everyone and every learned some laughs from people who liked to torment him because of his dream of saving people with his villanous power.

It was when he walked into the hall, wearing his villain costume. Everyone immediately shfited their attention to him as he marched further into the hall with his gas mask covering his face. Not wasting any time, he released his sleeping gas across the school and it wasn't long until everyone in the hall was put to sleep. Starting with students going to teachers and ending with parents who were her to collect their kids. Everyone found themselves in a forced slumber by him.

By the time the authorities arrived at the scene, he was long gone and was not planning to get himself caught. When everyone started to wake up from the slumber they were forced into by him, some of his teachers and schoolmates were interviewed for many news stations. Students talked how they always knew there was a villain in him and the teachers talked about how there was always something off about him and how always like a villain in the making towards his fellow students.

If Hiroto was honest with himself, he didn't care about anything they said. They wanted him to be a villain, despite him wanting to save people. He gave them a villain. What happened at the graduation was only their fault as they made him do this. The only people he felt sorry for in this situation were his parents as he knew they must have been hurted by what he did, despite not seeing them in person for a long time at this point and they were the only people he had avoided the statements in the media about his case of.

He went into the hiding shortly after everything that happened on his graduation and kept himself away from the authorities who failed to find him until an offer was made to him by Giran to join the League of Villains.

This is how Hiroto Kataoka, a young man inspiring to be a hero, became a member of the League of Villains known as Mustard...

Mustard's eyes snapped open, feeling something strange happening with his body right now as a large wave of the sleeping gas erupted from his body. Everyone around him, including the unknown woman, was caught in this cloud of sleeping gas and collapsed on the ground like a ton of bricks. Because of his sudden this sleeping gas attack was and how it was completely unexpected, no one from their group had a chance to react to this and cover their face with the digas-masks.

Mustard looked up, finding himself in the cloud of his sleeping gas as he realized how how it was not affecting him. It confused him a bit as remember how his power put him to sleep the last time he tried to use it without his gas-mask covering his face. His eyes widened as knew it meant only one thing. His power must have evolved in some way to protect him as the unknown woman's subordinates were beating him up to death.

He nodded to himself, now knowing what he strange feeling going through his body right now was. He made a mental note out of this new ability of his as he knew it would become handy in the future. Especially since now he didn't have to worry about putting his fellow members of the League of his power evolved in the way he thought it did. He will have to check it to confirm this to him on the first opportunity he will get.

He pushed himself away from those thoughts, knowing he should focus on something else right now as he slowly got himself back on his feet, letting out a painful grunt as he did so as the effects of the beating he had just received were still fresh. The cloud of the sleeping gas he had just created around him and the area around him slowly faded away, allowing himself to take a good look at the scene around him to get to know the situation after what he just did better.

There wasn't much he could say about it after taking a look at it if he was honest with himself as it looked like he expected it to look. He was surrounded by the unmoving bodies of the people who were beating him up to death a few moments earlier and all of them looked to be too deep in their sleep and didn't look like they were going to wake up from the slumber they were forced into by him anytime soon.

Mustard shrugged his shoulders to himself at this information, not caring much about the amount of time they were going to sleep for as he knew it only worked in his benefit. He laid his eyes on the unknown woman a second later and narrowed his eyes at her in anger. Remembering how the clip in his pistol had one bullet left in it when it was knocked out of his hands, he pushed himself into walk towards it to see if his mind wasn't fooling him right now.

He stopped in front of his pistol and picked it up from the ground, unloading it to check if he really had one bullet left in the clip. He nodded to himself, seeing there was indeed one bullet left in it. Not wasting any time, he pushed himself towards the unknown woman who remained unconscious and aimed his pistol right at her forehead upon stopping in front of his target as he intended to finish her off once and for all.

He glared down at her and pulled the trigger. The bullet hit her right between her eyes, ending her life once and for all as he turned away from her. He didn't thought much about ending her life as she did just try to him. The fact how she was apparently related to someone from his old school made everything made everything much easier for him as the thought of her being related to some of his biggest tormentors was making him slightly happy on the inside.

He reloaded his pistol and pushed himself into walk away from the scene, beginning to make his way towards where he suspected Dabi and Mr. Compress to be right now unless they moved towards some other part of Deika City. He didn't worry about them putting them to sleep with his sleeping gas anymore as he didn't thought it will be happen if his power really evolved in the way he thought it did. Something was telling him on the back of his head he will get a chance to test this possibility out on his way to Dabi and Mr. Compress.

As he continued to make his way towards where he suspected Dabi and Mr. Compress to be right now, he went along with his original task and released some of his sleeping gas into the streets of Deika City as he intended to help out people who accepted him for the way. Despite how he acted around the League from time to time, he valued them as his comrades and was going to help them out achieve their goals to the best of their abilities.

--------

Magne felt herself growing more nervous as she continued to make her way further into Deika City with an unconscious Toga in her arms in her search of Twice. She made sure to keep her eyes wide open ever since she and Toga defeated the blue skinned woman and her subordinates, hoping Twice will appear in her view soon as she knew Toga was running out of time and knew her friend was not going to survive without a proper care for much longer.

She stopped in her tracks for a second, having overheard someone rushing towards her from behind. She looked up her shoulder and saw a group of five people charging towards her and Toga. Knowing she had no time to put Toga on the ground, she looked around herself in order to find a weapon for herself as she left her magnet behind in order to leave enough space in her grasp to hold Toga. She knew she could use her new ability to make it follow her, but she didn't want to risk finding out if doing it for too long had any side effects. She couldn't hold afford suffering any side effects of this part of her new power right now.

It was when she set her attention on the street lamp about a meter ahead of her and Toga. She narrowed her eyes at it, focusing herself entirely on it to the point of her head starting to hug as the screws holding the street lamp into the ground were slowly unscrewed. Afterwards, she lifted the street up above the ground and tossed it towards the members of the Liberation Army. The lamp collided with most of them, knocking them out upon the impact and send them flying backwards.

Magne gritted her teeth upon seeing it happen, losing her focus on the street lamp as she knew she knew the problem she had just encountered was taken care of. She lowered her gaze to the unmoving body of Toga, feeling how her head hurt because of the amount of focus she had put into her street lamp attack. She already knew she had a lot of work ahead of her when it came to understanding this part of her new magnetic abilities.

She shifted her gaze in the direction she had tossed the street lamp towards, having just heard something and noticed one member of this group she had just knocked away charging towards her and Toga. He must have somehow avoid getitng knocked out after the street lamp was slammed into him. Just as she readied herself to take care of him, someone jumped at the unknown man from behind and tackled him to the ground.

A wave of relief went through her body when it happened, knowing she won't have to put Toga in danger by taking care of this man and her relief only increased as she saw who was the person that tackled this unknown man to the ground. It was Twice. Twice wasted no time and quickly cut the throat of a man he was on top of with his tape measurer, getting rid of the problem and looked ahead of himself, setting his eyes on Magne and unconscious Toga.

"Toga-chan! Bis Sis Magne!" He exclaimed, getting him back on his feet as pushed himself into run towards Magne and Toga and made his way to them.

Magne smiled at him in relief, "Twice! Just the person I was looking for...!"

Twice's eyes widened in panic as he saw the state Toga was in right, "T-Toga-chan! W-What happened to her?"

"This is why I was looking for you, Twice." Magne went back to her explanation, not minding Twice interrupting her, "Please. Tell me you can do a clone of her and perform a blood transfusion. She's lost too much blood and I don't think he will hold long enough without this procedure."

Twice let out a deep breath, feeling himself grown nervous as he gave Magne a shaky nod of his head, "Y-Yes! This should work. No! It won't work! Leave her! She's a lost cause!"

"Good." Magne's smile grew slightly, feeling her relief grow at the confirmation as she knew it increased the chance of Toga surviving the wounds she had substained because of the blue skinned bitch. She looked around herself, trying to find a place where she and Twice could perform this operation and found a perfect place for it a second later. It was a garden with a shed. Not wasting any time, she pushed herself into run towards it, "There Twice! We can perform the transfusion there."

"O-Okay!" Twice nodded at her shakily and followed her towards the garden. He got himself on his knees as Magne set gently and carefully set Toga on the ground before getting herself on her knees as well. Twice shifted his gaze from Toga to Magne for a second, wanting to ask her about something, "W-What happened to you two? You two ran off somewhere together. I heard some explosions going off in the direction you two ran off to shortly after and I went to check out out."

Magne shook her head, letting out a sigh, "It's a long story, Twice. To put it shortly. We were jumped by some of those assholes with some blue skinned bitch who wanted to get some answers out of us for the article she was writing about us on the lead. You don't need to worry about them, though. I knocked the blue skinned bitch out and Toga-chan took care of the rest before losing her consciousness."

"O-Oh, I see." Twice nervously voiced his understanding of her explanation, growing more nervous and worried for Toga as he shifted his attention back to Toga. He shook his head after seeing the state she was in right now, "I can't believe someone could be this cold. Her face is a mess is it the enemy's blood? No it's hers!"

Magne put her good hand on Toga's forehead, checking her temperature right now and shook her head to herself, "Dammit! She's burning up! We gotta hurry Twice! Have you taken measurements of her before or do you need to do it right now?"

Twice didn't answer to her question, though and his entire attention was on Toga right now. He pulled out the very handkerchief Toga gave him back when the heroes raided the Shie Hassaikai and showed it to her, even though he knew she couldn't see it right now, "Don't worry I'll wipe it off for you. Remember this? It's the handkerchief you gave me. Give it up this girl is about to die."

"Twice..." Magne muttered to herself, growing worried to Twice as she watched him despair over the state Toga was in right now. She knew Twice and Toga were close and she knew how much it must have hurt Twice to see her like this. She put her hand on his shoulder, causing him look at him, "Twice. Look at me."

Twice slowly turned to look at Magne, "M-Magne..."

"I understanding how scared you are right now for Toga-chan." Magne began, trying to make Twice less nervous, "I'm scared for her as well. We shouldn't let those feelings get in the way of saving her, though. We will save her together. Alright? We'll have just to work together and do it fast. You'll see. Toga-chan will be walking and acting like herself around us sooner than you realize."

"O-Okay. Let's get this done." Twice nodded at her and she shifted his attention back to Toga and brought the unconscious girl into a hug, "You'll see, Toga-chan! We're going to save you! I'm going to save you! You, Y/N and the rest of the League! You are my home! You are a place for people who have been cast out from this society! A place who gave a nobody like me a place to belong!"

Just as Twice began to set Toga back on the ground and was about to take her measurements, someone stopped behind him and Magne. He and Magne failed to realize someone was approaching them from behind as they were too busy with taking care of Toga. As soon as this someone stopped behind them, both Magne and Twice sensed someone standing behind them and slowly turned around to look at this person.

Much to Magne's suprise and much to Twice's horror, they saw Twice. A lot of them. Whoever or rather whatever it was had just taken Twice's disguise. Magne shifted her gaze to Twice just a second later, knowing how this would work on him because of the traume he had suffered before joining the League and saw the look of pure horror he had on his face, despite him wearing his usual mask on his face right now.

It was when Twice's clones rushed towards him, Magne and Toga. Twice let out a scream of pure terror as the clones descended upon him, feeling how they started to take off his mask and began to pull him away from Toga and Magne. Magne, despite the clones trying to pull her away from Twice and Toga, knew she had to do something to stop this from happening for both Toga and Twice's sake and knew the perfect way for it.

She put her hand on the clone next to her, intending to turn it into a northern polar. Much to her suprise, however, it did not work. Why did it not work. She managed to turn a man into a northern polar earlier? Why couldn't see do it right now? It was when she realized something. She could use her powers to magnetize humans and metal. Those clones weren't human and whatever they were made of clearly wasn't metal. This part of her power was completely useless against them.

Her attention was brought back to Twice as Twice once again screamed, having been knocked away from her and Toga by his clones. Two clones moved towards him, beginning to pin him down to the ground, leaving the rest with Toga and Magne. It wasn't long before Magne shared Twice's fate though as she was thrown to the side as well. Just as she was about to bring herself back on her feet, she received a firm punch to the face by one of Twice's clones and was knocked back to the ground.

She quickly collected herself from the punch and looked up, seeing five of Twice's clones standing in front of her. Not wasting any time, the clones shoved herself towards her and pinned her to the ground. Magne gritted her teeth, trying to break herself out of their grasp as she knew she had to do something right now otherwise those clones will do something bad to Toga and Twice.

"No! No! I don't get it your hands are so cold you're freezing my mind!" Twice shouted in horror, finding himself pinned down to the ground by two of his clones while the rest of them took care of Toga and Magne, "No! Dammit who are you? Are you me? You have my face but I don't know you do I?"

"Twice." Magne muttered to herself under her breath, gritting her teeth in anger as she continued with her desperate attempts at free herself from the grasp of Twice's clones with no effect.

She shook her head to herself a few seconds later, realizing how this was not going to happen because of the amount of hands pinning her to the ground right now. Whoever was controlling Twice's clones must have known how she roughly she would try to break herself out of their grasp and must have ordered this many of them to pin her down as they would know this amount of clones would result in her attempts being in vain.

It was when an idea popped into her mind as she reminded herself about the street lamp she had used before stumbling upon Twice. She looked in the direction she had tossed it towards and focused herself on summoning it to her. Much to her disappointment, nothing happened as seconds passed and the street lamp was nowhere to be seen. She laid her head on the ground and slammed it against it in frustation.

It didn't took her long to figure out why the street lamp wasn't summoned to her right now. She must have a reach limit when it came to her new powers of affecting metal. She cursed herself mentally for not thinking about it before. It was obvious she would have a limit when it comes to stuff like this. She must have been too lost in what was happening right now and it must have resulted in her not figuring this out earlier.

"...Dammit! Put her down! Toga! That's me. I'm trying to kill her!" Twice's scream of despair pushed Magne out of her thoughts as she lifted her head up from the ground and looked in Toga's direction. Her heart almost stopped when saw what was happening right now. Twice's clones were holding Toga up above the ground and one of them was readying itself to twist her neck with the intention of murdering her.

"You sons of bitches!" Magne bellowed angrily, despite knowing how low the chance that someone was actually watching them right now was as she tried to free himself from the grasp of Twice's clone with little effect, "First you did this to Toga-chan and now you're doing this to Twice. What the fuck is wrong with you?!"

Whoever was controlling Twice's clones must have grown annoyed by her declaration as she felt one of the clones wrapped their hands around her neck. It didn't took her long to realize what was happening right now. The clones have been ordered to twist her neck, just like they had been ordered to do with Toga. Realizing how close she was coming to death right now, Magne tried to squirm herself out of the grasp of Twice's clones and unfortunely the effect was nonexistent, because the clones did everything in their power to make sure she will stay down.

"No, no, no!" Twice exclaimed, his voice becoming more tearful, "I'm screwing over Bis Sis Magne again! It's Overhaul all over again! I'm screwing her over just like I screwed over Mr. Compress and Y/N's beloved Origami-chan when I brought Overhaul to them! Why Y/N even forgave me for this and comforted me about it, even though I caused his beloved Origami-chan to lose her arm! Why did he and Shigaraki keep me in the League after Overhaul! Causing problems for them is all I've been doing! I'm nothing but a nuisance to the League!

"Twice! Darling!" Magne exclaimed, making sure to be as loud as she could right now as he wanted to make sure Twice will hear everything she had to say to him, "Stop blaming yourself for what happend with Overhaul and stop telling yourself how you don't belong in the League! Even if consider yourself a nuisance to us, we never considered you to be a nuisance! You deserve to be in the League as much of everyone else from our organization does!"

"M-Magne." Twice said, feeling tears forming in his eyes as his usual mental pain of having his face uncovered went back to him, "No! No! No! Not now! I'm splitting up! Where's the real me? Am I a copy? Have I been lying to myself this whole time? I'm gonna tear myself in two! Am I the original? Is this really me? Who am I...!?"

It was when Twice felt his life flash before his eyes. He recalled his troubled past after his parents died and how he was fired from his work for a single mistake, resulting in him living on the streets. He originally created clones of himself just so he could have someone he could talk to and trust, however, as he began embarking on a life of crime driven only by the desire to live a comfortable lifestyle, he made mistake after mistake until it all culminated in the incident where his clones violently rebelled against him and he was driven insane, forcing him to cover his face from that point on to prevent himself from splitting.

Following the incident, he became unsure of whether he was a clone or not since his clones would vanish after taking as little damage as a bone fracture. It was at this time that he was recruited by Giran, who told him that a group of people from similar circumstances had recently formed and could use someone with a Quirk like his. This group was the League of Villains and all of them accepted him for the way he was, despite his problems and gave him a place to belong it.

He recalled all the times and bonds he had formed with the members of the League of Villains. His thoughts were mostly centered on Y/N and Toga as he thought about the times he bonded with these two. He remembered how Y/N was always to willing to listen him and how he never blamed him for all the times he screwed the League over, even after his actions lead to Origami losing her arm, and remembered how Toga always offered him comforting words and hugs whenever he was feeling down.

Everything went back to him in this very moment and flew through his mind in seconds as he couldn't do anything else to help Toga and Magne and could only watch how his clones made by the Liberation Army were going to kill friends and he couldn't do anything to save them. It was when he felt a rush of superhuman strength in his body as he broke himself out of the grasp of the clones restraining him and rushed towards Toga and Magne.

"...Toga-chan! Bis Sis Magne! NO!" He exclaimed loudly as he pushed himself into run towards Toga and Magne. He never reached them, though as one of his clones punched him in the face, sending him to the ground.

He tried to get himself back on his feet only to get kicked in the back by one of his clones, sending him back to the ground. His clones wasted no time and began to direct many firm kicks to his back, kicking him all over his body to make sure he will stay down on the ground and will not try to do anything again. The clones stopped kicking him shortly after and two of them brought him into his knees and held his hands backwards.

It was when a loud crack echoed across the garden as the clones holding him in place broke his arms. He groaned in pain at the unpleasant feeling, but didn't pay much attention to the fact his arms were just broken. What he paid his attention to was the fact that he didn't dissolve away, despite having his arms broken as this was the damage would be enough to make him dissolve away if he was a clone. It instantly made him realize one thing. It made him realize he was the original Twice for all this time.

"It hurts, dammit...the pain, my arms, it hurts. It's bad, but even though it hurts I'm not disappearing!" He laughed happily as soon as this realization flew through his mind, tears falling out of his eyes and spilling down his cheeks.

A gust of wind pushed away the clones that pinned him and his companions as Twice got himself on his knees and looked ahead of himself with a smirk on his face, despite having tears in his ears. Having received a rush of confidence in himself after getting the confirmation of himself having been the real Jin Bubaigawara for all this time, he created a bunch of himself and didn't stop there. He was going to create as much of them as he could right now and nothing was going to stop him.

"...I would never kill a friend, you fakes. It think it's about time you saw how terrifying my Quirk can be! You will fear me, Liberation Army! Let's go Twice!" He declared, feeling his smirk grow wider and wider with each word he just uttered. It was when he recalled how he failed to copy the Quirk-Destroying bullets and how Y/N and Toga reassured him aftewards and how they told him how there would be a day when he would save their butts. It was time to make their words a reality. It was time to prove himself to be someone worthy of the friendship they gave him. It was time to return the favor he owned the League for accepting him and giving him a place to belong.

"It's time for a massacre!" All of the clones exclaimed at the same time, spreading themselves further across the area and not stopping until every inch of the next several meters was covered in their clones. It was only a matter of seconds before the entire area was covered in Twice's clones and the members of the Liberation Army who happened to be nearby could only watch what just happened in suprise.

"Attack them! Kill them all! Time to show them my march of grief! Sad Man's Parrade!" Twice announced loudly, ordering his countless clones to wreak havoc on the Liberation Army and show them no mercy for what they tried to do to Toga and Magne. As he uttered those words, he crawled himself over to Toga's unmoving body and gently pressed it against him, "Time to them how much my comrades mean to me..."

Magne pushed herself up from the ground, having been freed from the grasp of Twice's clones made by the Liberation Army and slowly got herself into a standing position. She looked at Twice with an amazed look on her face, "Twice. Darling. What just happened? You left the sister completely spechless! Did you just overcame your trauma?"

"We will talk about it later, Magne! For now, let's just focus on saving Toga-chan!" Twice replied as Magne smiled at him and nodded her head, before rushing over to him and Toga. Not wasting any time, she and Twice began their procedure of saving Toga's life and didn't worry about anyone interrupting them again as they knew Twice's clones would keep everyone away from them.

-----

Mustard walked along the street he had just stepped into after turning the corner, proceeding to make his way towards where he suspected Dabi and Mr. Compress to be right now as he continued to spread his sleeping gas around Deika City. He didn't worry too much about him heading somewhere where he won't find Dabi and Mr. Compress as the trail of freshly burned corpses left by Dabi was enough to reassure him that he was heading in the right direction. He didn't know any else who would leave such a trail.

He didn't worry too much about him accidentally putting them to sleep either as he got a chance to test out if his really could control who was affected by it now, having been jumped by another group of the Meta Liberation Army and the test was a success. He wished internally for one guy on the front of the group of attackers not to be affected by his sleeping gas and it worked as he was the only member of the said group not to fall asleep upon getting hit by his sleeping gas. After reassuring himself in this theory, he wished for this man to follow the example of his comrades to follow the example of his comrades and fall asleep which was exactly what happened.

It was when he stopped in his tracks for a second as two familiar figures appeared in his view. Those figures were Mr. Compress and Dabi. Mr. Compress was fighting or rather running away from a few members of the Liberation Army, having difficulty fighting with them because of him having only one hand as his prosthetic fell apart during his fight with Gigantomachia. Dabi was standing about two or three meters ahead of Mr. Compress, fighting his own set of opponents.

Mustard pushed himself back into walk towards them right after, beginning to spread his sleeping gas around the area he had just stepped into and all of the opponents Mr. Compress and Dabi were fighting with right now collapsed to the ground like a ton of bricks a few seconds later. In happened in the exact time as Dabi launched a fire attack at his set of opponents, resulting in the sleeping people becoming charred corpses as soon as they were put to sleep by Mustard.

"Huh. What the hell?" The scarred villain asked himself in a slight suprise, having it been expecting for his latest victims to fall asleep before he would take care of them for good. He got the answer of what must have happened a second later as Mustard's sleeping gas reached him. He quickly moved his mouth to cover his face, wanting to prevent himself from falling asleep but stopped himself from doing so as realized how he did not fall asleep, despite the gas already touching him.

"Mustard?" Mr. Compress exclaimed in suprise behind him as he turned around to look at him and saw Mustard walking towards them. The younger villain didn't have his gas-mask on himself right now and looked like he was after a beating.

"What are you doing here, brat?" Dabi asked as soon as he laid his eyes on Mustard, "Aren't you supposed to be in the more isolated parts of this place right now?"

Mustard walked past Mr. Compress and stopped next to Dabi, spreading his sleeping gas further, "I was. My plans were changed, though."

"What's up with your sleeping gas?" Mr. Compress asked, "Why weren't me and Dabi put to sleep by it, even though we're not wearing any protective masks? Why weren't you put to sleep to it, despite you not wearing your gas-mask right now."

"I think my Quirk evolved." Mustard replied, not going into full detail as he knew they didn't have time for this right now, "I think I can now control who will be affected by my sleeping gas and who will be not."

Mr. Compress put his finger on his chin with a thoughtful look hidden underneath his mask, "How do you determine who will be affected by your sleeping gasp or not?"

"I think I just have to think who I want to be affected by it and who I don't want to be affected by it." Mustard explained, "I got a chance to test it out when I was making my way to you as I was attacked by a group of those assholes. It worked exactly just like I hoped it would."

Mr. Compress nodded in understanding, letting out a hum, "Ah, I see. It will definitely be a big help for me and Dabi in the obstacles we are facing right now."

"It's not like you're doing all that much to help." Dabi pointed out blankly.

Mr. Compress pointed at him with an offended look hidden underneath his mask, "Hey! Running away from those constant attacks requires some skills as well!"

Their conversation was cut short as someone sent a large ice structure towards them. Having been alerted by this, the three members of the League stepped out of it's way as they wanted to avoid getting hit by it for all the obvious reasons. Mustard's eyes widened slightly at this attack as he haven't seen anyone direct an attack with such a large ice structure since he watched the U.A School Festival and saw the attack Todoroki use on one of his schoolmates.

He quickly collected himself from the attack and looked in the direction this ice structure came from. His eyes caught the sight of whoever was responsible for this attack right away. He saw a figure clad in a thick, light blue parka that reached down below his knees, done up in the center with seven brown buttons, with a fur-lined hood that covers his face from view. He also sported black baggy pants and a pair of lace-up winter boots. He couldn't tell if this figure was a man or a man because of them keeping their face covered by a hood.

Dabi sighed in irritation at the view of this figure, "Great. It's this guy again. I forgot about him for a second."

Mustard shifted his gaze to him, "You know who this is?"

"Yeah." Dabi nodded in confirmation.

"Looks like Mustard, the wielder of the sleeping gas attack, has arrived the scene." The figure began in a slightly muffled voice, revealing themselves to be a man to Mustard. He kept himself above the ground, standing on top of a large block of ice as he used his ice powers to keep it above the ground in order to stop himself from getting affected by Mustard's sleeping gas,

Mustard raised his brow, "What the hell is this damn Eskimo doing here?"

The eskimo ignored Mustard's question and they way he called him and continued, "Why are you here and why are using your sleeping gas with Dabi and Mr. Compress around? Why aren't they affected by it? You didn't care about it happening to them or is there something wrong your Meta Ability?"

Mustard deadpanned, "I can already tell this guy will be annoying to deal with."

"Really. It took you this long to figure this out? Be grateful you weren't here when he told me his boring life story." Dabi commented as he held up his palms, his signature beginning to appear around it. He looked up at the eskimo, narrowing his eyes at him, "Hey, man. You didn't get the memo earlier? If not, it looks like I'm gonna have to teach you a special lesson if you didn't understood it earlier."

Not wasting any time, he shot his flames upwards and directed a massive fire attack towards the eskimo. The ice block the eskimo was using to keep himself above the ground was caught in the fire attack and melted under the pressure of Dabi's fire. After getting his ice block destroyed by Dabi's flames, the eskimo began his descend to the ground and Dabi shifted his gaze from him to Mustard and nodded at him, silently telling him to do the next move in this attack.

Mustard nodded back at him, knowing what Dabi wanted him to do. He directed his sleeping gas towards the eskimo, intending to put him to sleep with it after he would made his way right into the reach of his power while a familiar blue fire appeared around Dabi's palms again as the scarred villain intended to burn the eskimo to the crisp once he would be put to sleep by Mustard's sleeping gas and get rid of the irritation he caused him once and for all.

If only he and Mustard knew what would happen next. As soon as Dabi his next attack towards the eskimo, his blue flames got mixed up with Mustard's sleeping gas and it resulted in something that suprised everyone around them, including the eskimo and Mr. Compress. Because of Dabi's blue flames mixing up with Mustard's flames, the size of Dabi's flame attack was extended and covered way more area. The eskimo seemed to realize it as well as he immediately a wall of ice in front of himself to protect himself from it.

"Holy shit!" Mustard exclaimed with a suprised look on his face as he watched how his flames were just lit up by Dabi's fire, resulting in his fire attack. He shifted his gaze between Dabi and Mr. Compress with a suprised questioning look on his face, "Have you two seen it? Did my sleeping gas was just affected by Dabi's fire? Was it just lit up by it?"

"Looks like it." Mr. Compress nodded in confirmation, putting his hand on his chin, "Perharps your flames became more flammable after your Quirk evolved. Perharps if you will have a fire Quirk user next to you or will have something that will be capable of litting up your flames, then you'll be able to do more than just sleeping gas attacks."

Dabi smirked slightly at him, looking out of the corner of his eye at Mustard, "Heh. Perharps having both of us team up all this time ago wasn't such a bad idea, after all."

"It doesn't matter if his sleeping gas became flammable." The eskimo commented, not touched by what just happened in the slighest as he was still confident in victory even if someone unplanned just happened, "I have been honing my ability for years and I'm preapred for such situations. I trained it instead of attending school and trained longer than any of those so-called heroes have."

"You with this again?" Dabi rolled his eyes at the eskimo, readying himself to launch another fire attack at him as he shifted his gaze to Mustard for a second, "Brat. You know what to do."

As soon as Dabi uttered those words, the eskimo began to lower himself down towards him and Mustard as the sleeping gas surrounding his targets vanished after it got mixed up with Dabi's flames. With the sleeping gas no longer present next to Dabi and Mustard, at least for now, he knew it gave him a perfect chance to attack them from up close and perharps even take out Mustard before he will possess more troubles in his fight with Dabi.

He landed about two meters in front of them and immediately created an ice structure around Dabi and Mustard. Mr. Compress was not caught with it because of him keeping his distance from the two. Not wasting any time, he created a giant ice spear next to himself as Dabi used his flames to melt the ice structure he got trapped in along Mustard. Just as he and Mustard freed themselves from their prison, the eskimo was about to shove the ice spear towards Mustard and get rid of him but got interrupted by something.

It was when the sound of something landing next to him echoed through his ears. He looked out of the corner of his eye to see what it was and his eyes widened as he saw a grenade. It came flying from behind Dabi and Mustard and landed right next to him. He had no idea who threw as he doubted it was Mr. Compress because the masked man didn't possess any grenades from what he had seen from over the course of the last few minutes. No matter who threw it, he knew one thing. He was in trouble.

"...Shit!" He shouted, knowing he won't be able to to distance himself from the second grenade in time. The grenade exploded right away, the explosion knocking him to the side and destroying the ice spear he had just created. His hood fell off his face when the explosion threw him into the air and slammed him against the wall behind him, revealing him to be a young man in his mid 20's with white snowy hair.

"So, this is how he looks like, huh?" Dabi asked himself, allowing himself to eye the eskimo's face up and down.

"His face looks a bit like yours if you ignore the scars on your face." Mustard pointed out, being half serious and half joking right now as he could notice some similiarities between the facial features of these two.

"If this was your attempt at being funny brat, then you really need to work at it." Dabi deadpanned at him, unamused by Mustard's words as he readied himself to toss a wave of fire towards the eskimo to finish him off, "If he, according to you, really looks like me if you will ignore my scars, then how about we make him similiar to me more?"

Not wasting any time, Dabi tossed some of his blue fire towards the eskimo, intending to burn him alive where he sat as the eskimo instantly reacted to this and created a wall of ice in front of him to shield himself from the fire attack and to prevent him from getting burned alive by Dabi. When his wall of ice was burned away from Dabi's fire, he was revealed not to be there anymore as he created a tall structure of ice to find himself a few meters above the ground and out of the way of Dabi's flames.

"Dammit. He got away." Dabi said to himself with irritation evident in his voice. The fact how this guy was capable of creating such tall ice structures in such a short amount of time was starting to piss him off.

Mustard looked over his shoulder at Mr. Compress, "Thanks for throwing that grenade, Compress. The eskimo would have gotten me if it wasn't for you."

"What are you talking about? It wasn't me! You know this old man doesn't have any grenades on himself!" Mr. Compress pointed out as Mustard and Dabi exchanged glances with each other at his words. They got the answer of who it was a second later as Mr. Compress looked behind him and saw a familiar dark green haired girl walking towards them, "Origami-chan!"

Origami smiled slightly, walking into the view of Dabi and Mustard as she stopped next to Mr. Compress. She pulled out a rock out of her pocket and turned it into a grenade a second later, "Hey. You guys have no idea for how long I was looking for you three."

"How did you found us?" Mustard asked.

Origami gestured behind herself, "I just followed the trail of sleeping and burned people. I got lost for a second, but I managed to find the right path to you three shortly after."

Mr. Compress shook his head to himself as his eyes immediately caught the attention of the state Origami was in right now. The relief of seeing her was immediately replaced with worry and concern, "Are you okay? You look like something happened to you. Did they do something to you? What happened to your arm and where are your shoes?"

"My arm was destroyed by them and I had to take off my shoes to prevent the acid from spreading across my body." Origami explained, not wanting to go into full details of what recently happened to her as she knew now it wasn't the time for this.

"A-Acid?" Mr. Compress stuttered out in suprise as Origami's answer resulted in him having multiple scenarios of what could have happen to her flying through his mind.

"Sorry to interrupt this little reunion of yours, but a certain annoying asshole is back." Dabi said, looking ahead of himself as Origami, Mr. Compress and Mustard shifted their attention from each other and looked ahead of each other, setting their eyes on the now unmasked eskimo who was several meters above the ground right now.

All of their eyes widened as they saw what the eskimo was doing right now. He saw gathering ice around himself, creating a massive ice structure around himself. They couldn't attack him to stop him from completing his work as he was out of their reach right now. By the time he was done with his work, the four members of the League of Villains saw him form a massive dragon like creature from ice and from the looks of it, he looked like he could control it.

Not wasting any time, the eskimo put the ice dragon he had just created to good use and controlled it to attack Dabi, Mustard, Mr. Compress and Origami. Mustard and Dabi exchanged glances with each other and nodded, knowing it was time perfect time to put their discovery to good use. Mustard released his sleeping gas forward himself and Dabi lit up his palms, waiting for the right opportunity to release his fire towards the ice dragon.

The right opportunity came a few seconds later as it found itself only a meter of two ahead of him and Mustard. He launched his fire towards the ice dragon and it once again got mixed up with Mustard's gas. The combination of these two things extended his fire attack, like it did before, and good portion of the ice dragon was melted away by it. It didn't help them in their situation, though because the eskimo already created a few ice creations as massive as the ice dragon was.

Mustard shook his head, "Dammit. This is going to take a while."

"Keep him occupied for now! I think I have an idea!" Origami said as she rushed off to the side and made her way to the doors leading into a garden of one of the houses around them. She pushed the door open and rushed into the garden, having an idea on how to aid Mustard and Dabi in their efforts against the eskimo when he was keeping himself this high up.

"Origami-chan? Where are you going?" Mr. Compress asked as he followed Origami, leaving Dabi and Mustard alone with the eskimo. Considering how they were handling themselves against him, he doubted much will change if he will go check what was Origami planning to do right now. He stopped in the garden a few seconds later and saw Origami looking between a tree and a rocky wall as if she was deciding something, "Origami-chan. What are you planning to do?"

"I want to create a cannon." Origami explained her intentions to him, not paying attention to the suprised reaction she got out of Mr. Compress with this declaration as she stepped closer to the rocky wall and touched it with her good remaining arm. The wall began to glow and turned itself into a cannon. The dark green haired girl decided to get rid of this rocky wall as she knew it would give her more space to use her new cannon and would help her when it came to moving it around.

"W-What? How did you do that?" Mr. Compress asked with a suprised look hidden underneath his mask.

"My Quirk evolved. I can now create cannons like this and I think I can create ammunition as well as the cannons is always loaded when I created." Origami provided him a quick explanation as she made her way to the back of the cannon, beginning to adjust her new weapon to land a better shot at the eskimo as her target was too busy with his attempts at taking out Dabi and Mustard right now.

"What? First Mustard and now you? Is everyone evolving their powers today or what?" Mr. Compress asked, his voice refusing to leave his voice as Origami shifted her attention to him, "What's wrong?"

"I think I just got another idea." Origami replied as she quickly made her way to Mr. Compress. She stopped next to him and cringed slightly, feeling herself step on a rock with her barefeet. She didn't think much of it, though as she knew she had to focus on something else right now, "Remember what we tried to do with grenades while we were fighting Gigantomachia?"

Mr. Compress nodded in confirmation, "Yes. What are you thinking?"

"Can you do it again? Only this time you will be the person to remove the pins and compress the unpinned grenades? You will throw a compress grenade everytime this guy will try to launch an attack at Kataoka-kun and Dabi." Origami revealed what she had in mind to him as she pulled out a rock out of her pocket and turned it into a grenade. Not wasting any time, she repeated this action a few times and didn't stop until there were a few grenades laying between her and Mr. Compress.

Mr. Compress once again nodded at her, "I'll do what I can. This old man may be missing one hand right now, but I don't this will affect his throwing too much."

"Alright." Origami smiled at him as she turned away from him and was about to move towards her cannon. Before she started making her way back to it, she reached downwards with her good hand and picked up the rock she had just stepped on with her foot. It was a pretty small rock. She looked at it, wishing for it to become to become a weapon because it would give Mr. Compress one more grenade he could work it.

It did become a weapon, but it wasn't the kind of weapon she had expected it to turn into. It didn't became a grenade and became a shuriken instead. She looked at it with a slightly suprised look on her face, having not expected this to happen. It must have been another type of weapon she had became capable of creating after her power evolved. Attaching it to a slot on her belt, she shifted her attention back to the cannon and made her way back to it.

She stopped behind the cannon, beginning to adjust it and aimed it upwards at the eskimo to make sure she will land a good shot at him or one of his ice creations after firing the cannon. After making sure it was perfectly adjusted and how she would land a shot on her target unless he moved, she shifted her gaze to Mr. Compress for a second and saw him removing the pin of the last grenade, before turning it into a marble with his Quirk.

Mr. Compress kept the said marble in his good hand, tossing it up and down and he prepared himself to throw it when the best opportunity for it will occur. He shifted his gaze to Origami for a second and nodded at her. Origami nodded back at him and and shifted her attention back to the eskimo, keeping herself at ready as she knew the eskimo could begin his next attack at any second and she wanted to be ready when it would finally happen.

The eskimo's next attack began shortly after as he created a new completely new ice dragon and controlled it to attack Mustard and Dabi. As the front of the ice dragon got closer to Mustard and Dabi, Mr. Compress knew it was his time to act. The masked villain tossed the compressed grenade towards the ice dragon. He snapped his fingers shortly after as the marble reached the distance he was satisfied with, releasing the grenade from the marble.

The grenade exploded right after it was released from the marble, destroying a good portion of the front of the second ice dragon. Dabi and Mustard were suprised by it, having not expected this to happen as so was the eskimo. He must have failed to notice what Origami and Mr. Compress were preparing together not too far from Dabi and Mustard because of him focusing his attention on the said two villains. Dabi and Mustard quickly used it to their advantage, once again combining their powers to melt the ice structure away.

Origami nodded to herself as all of this happened as she knew it was time for her to make her move. She gave the cannon one last adjust and fired it towards the eskimo. The eskimo quickly took notice of the cannonball flying his way and knew he had to counter this attack fast. Using the back of the second ice dragon to shield himself, he allowed the cannonball to hit and the cannonball exploded as soon as it collided with his ice.

The explosion caused the ice in front of the eskimo to fall apart into pieces and the impact of it was massive. The eskimo was pushed a few meters down by the explosion as the back of the ice dragon wasn't the best cover he could have used to block Origami's attack. The eskimo quickly figured out how to put this situation to his advantage and used the cracks to ice to form a giant ice lion. His new ice structure was already formed by the time he reached the ground.

Not wasting any time, he got himself on top of the ice lion and made it charge towards Dabi and Mustard. Dabi's answer to this was instant as he immediately prepared himself to melt the ice lion away with his fire, hopefully with it's owner getting turned alongside it, taking a strange pose as he did so. He didn't ask Mustard to help him out in this attack with his gas as he knew the younger villain didn't have enough time to release enough gas right now.

As Dabi and the eskimo were about to face each other again, Origami and Mr. Compress' attention was brought away from their fight as they encountered their own problem. Several members of the Liberation Army hopped into the garden both of them were in right now and began their assault on them. They must have arrived at this area without getting put to sleep by Mustard's gas in the process because of Mustard focusing himself and his power on taking out the eskimo.

Origami's eyes widened in suprise, immediately stepping backwards from the people who had just attacked as she pulled out the shuriken she had accidentaly created a few moment ago and tossed it towards the woman on front of the group trying to attack her. The shuriken ended up flying off the route and instead ended up hitting the second man on Origami's target right, having landed in his shoulder. The dark green haired girl cringed slightly at this, knowing she had a lot of learn when it came to throwing weapons. Even if she had lousier aim with her left hand.

"Origami-chan! Distance yourself from them!" Mr. Compress shouted to Origami as Origami looked over her shoulder, seeing him distancing himself from his own group.

The dark green haired girl nodded at him, knowing what Mr. Compress was about to do and quickly distanced herself from her attackers. Upon making sure both him and Origami were in a good distance away from their attackers, Mr. Compress tossed two marbles towards his attackers and shifted his gaze to Origami's attackers, tossing two marbles towards them. Not wasting any time, the snapped his fingers and the grenades were released from the marble. All of the grenades exploded a second later, killing everyone from two groups of the attackers.

Mr. Compress sighed in relief and set his eyes on Origami, "Phew. That was close. Good thing you had me put your grenades in my marbles otherwise things wouldn't be looking so good for both of us."

Origami nodded in agreement, "Yeah."

Mr. Compress shfited his gaze from her to Dabi and Mustard, "Hey! Couldn't you two return the favor in some way and help us after we got jumped by those MLA mambers?"

"Why should we? You handled yourself just fine." Dabi replied with a blank look on his face, some smoke come out of his body because of the attack he had just launched at the eskimo and his ice lion, knocking him away from Mustard.

"Why are you so cruel to the old man?" Mr. Compress asked, sounding hurt by their refusal to help him as he put his good hand on his heart. He shifted his gaze to Origami right after, "Origami-chan. Tell him something otherwise this old's man feelings will be hurt."

"...Um, Atsuhiro-kun." Origami gestured to something behind Dabi and Mustard with a suprised look on her face as her eyes refused to close because of the suprise she was feeling right now, "Take a look behind them..."

Following Origami's advice, Mr. Compress looked behind Dabi and Mustard and his eyes widened underneath his mask as soon as he was towards what she had just gestured to. Wanting to know what Origami and Mr. Compress just noticed, Dabi and Mustard looked over their shoulder and saw it as well. What they saw was Twice. Or rather a lot of Twice's. Countless of Twice's clones rushed towards him and the rest, intending to help them with their opponents as all of them filled the area in front of them.

"Dabi! Mr. Compress! Weaponsmith! Mustard!" A clone of Twice on the front of the group called out for them, rushing towards them with his eyes narrowed underneath his mask. This scream was followed by many other screams and Twice's voice bellowed many words at the same time.

"Twice is here to the rescue!"

"Toga-chan's gonna die!"

"Your savior is here!"

"It's time for a massacre!"

"...Holy shit." Mustard voiced his thoughts on what he was seeing right now, his eyes refusing to close because of the suprise he was feeling right now as Twice's clones ran past him and Dabi, making their way further down the street.

"Wait. What about your trauma?" Mr. Compress asked as Twice's clones just rushed past him and Origami, stopping in front of them in ready to face the Meta Liberation Army.

"Over it, now." One of the clones from the army of Twice's clones explained, "Long story. To put it shortly I destroyed it with the power of love and friendship!"

Mr. Compress raised his brow at him underneath his mask, "I've got no idea what you're talking about but it sounds like a hero story to me. Aren't you supposed to be a villain?"

"That's right!" The same clone admitted, extending the meassuring tape from one of his wristbands, "If my friends are villains, it's only natural that I save them!"

Some other clone nodded in agreement, "I don't have many friends. That's why they're all the more important to me."

As soon as those words left the clone's mouth, the eskimo made himself himself known to Dabi, Mustard, Origami and Mr. Compress again as he launched another attack on them. A large barrage of ice erupted from the ground and took out a good portion of the Twice army in the process. Two of Twice's clones shoved themselves towards Mr. Compress and Origami, pushing them away from the barrage of ice as Dabi defended himself and Mustard with his fire.

"What is there some kind of ice factory around here?" Dabi asked himself, melting the ice around him and Mustard with an annoyed look on his face, "Where's all this coming from?"

"There's more to my ability than simple manipulation." The eskimo began, standing on a ice platform with two giant shards of ice quickly spinning around him, "I can control the temperature of the molecules too. So if I call out to the water and the pipes and lower the temp, it freezes and becomes my weapon."

Mustard narrowed his eyes at his opponent, "Huh is that so?"

Dabi glared at the eskimo, finding him more annoying with each passing second, "You could of told me that from the beginning. Now I'm angry."

"And the future we're aiming for, the strength of someone's power will be directly linked to their place in society. In other words, increasing your meta ability will be essential!" The eskimo declared as he lifted his hand up towards the sky. Another barrage of ice shoot up from the ground and it eliminated more of the Twice clones, "Increasing your Meta Ability will be essential."

"Really? What about Quirkless people?" Origami asked, having just gotten herself back on her feet as she cringed at how cold the ground was right now. She really wished she didn't have to get rid of her footwear earlier.

The eskimo shifted his gaze to her, "People without Meta Ability?"

"Yes." Origami nodded in confirmation, "What about them?"

"Our of our comrades was unfortunate enough to be born without a Quirk of his own." Mr. Compress agreed with Origami's question, "From everything we heard from him, people of his kind are already on the margins of society. What will happen to people like him after you will achieve your future."

"Nothing will change for them." The eskimo voiced his answer to them, "People like the Mask, because I assume you're talking about him, are a sign of devolution and will die out in the coming generations. Future is what we have to focus on right now and people without a Meta Ability have no place in it as they will be extinct by then. There's no value to life other than the amount of strength you wield."

Origami nodded in understanding, "I see. In that case, you can exclude us from the interested parties. Our reset will create a society in which will be better for everything, including Quirkless people."

The eskimo kept his gaze on Origami, "The Mask doesn't even deserve the Meta Ability he possesses right now."

Origami narrowed her eyes into a glare, "What?"

"You heard me right." The eskimo confirmed his words to her, "The Mask doesn't deserve his Meta Ability. He wasn't born with, like other people. He received it after it was stolen from someone. Meta Ability is something you are born with. You do not receive it from anyone."

Origami continued to glare at the eskimo as she pulled out her pistol and opened fire at him. The eskimo created a wall of ice in front of himself, protecting himself from her bullets as Origami didn't stop firing her pistol until she ran out of the bullets in the clip. As soon as she stopped firing it, the eskimo destroyed his ice shield and glared down at her and Mr. Compress. Just as he was about to attack them, Mustard and Dabi made themselves known to them as the directed another attack of their gas and fire combination.

"You talk too much. It's really starting to piss me off." Mustard glared at the eskimo, releasing more sleeping gas towards him as the eskimo defended himself against his and Dabi's most recent attack. He shifted his gaze to Dabi a second later and saw the look the scarred villain directed his way, "What? Y/N's one of my friends."

"Hey. I'm not saying anything." Dabi told him, releasing another fire attack towards Mustard's sleeping gas in order to combine them with each other once again as Origami looked around herself, laying her eyes on the tree nearby. She exchanged glances with Mr. Compress and both of them nodded at each other before coming over to this three. He shifted his attention to the eskimo a second later, "That's a pretty depressing world view. Now die."

"You're the one who will perish blue flame user. Your body already smells burnt." The eskimo said, lifting himself above the ground in his platform as he created ice shards with sharpened ends and directed them towards the flames going his way in order to extinguish the flames heading his way. He gritted his teeth, putting everything he had into his ice shards as he knew it wouldn't be only a matter of time before the flames will be completely extinguished.

Because of him focusing himself on Dabi and Mustard, he failed to notice what Origami and Mr. Compress were doing right now. Together they ripped a large branch from a tree and Origami tightened her grip around it, causing it to glow as she hoped she was now capable of creating this weapon. Fortunely her hopes weren't for nothing as the branch turned itself into a rocket launcher in the blink of her and Mr. Compress' eyes.

They exchanged glances with each other, knowing what to do next. Neither of them could wield this weapon by themselves right now because of both of them having one hands. It didn't change that the fact they could could wield it together. Mr. Compress grabbled the front handle, allowing Origami to have the shot at the eskimo as the dark green haired girl put her finger on the trigger and adjusted the grenade launcher a bit, making sure she will land the shot at the target.

She nodded at Mr. Compress a second later, telling him she was ready to take the shot without saying any words to him and Mr. Compress nodded back at her. Origami pulled the trigger a second later and the grenade launcher fired, the knockback sending both her and Mr. Compress backwards a little because of their already weakened states from all the fighting they had gone through since and before arriving at Deika City.

The grenade hit the platform eskimo was standing on right now, resulting an explosion. It was what Mr. Compress and Origami were aiming towards as they intended for the grenade to hit the eskimo in the chest, but neither of them were complaining about eskimo was pushed backwards by the impact of the explosion and crashed through the window of the building next to him. Origami and Mr. Compress quickly collected themselves from the knockback and nodded at each other, gladdened to see how their plan worked as Mustard and Dabi shfited their attention to them after seeing their sudden attack.

Dabi nodded at them in approval, "Not bad. This will surely leave a mark on this asshole if he survived."

Mr. Compress tipped his hat, "All the cheering should be directed towards Origami-chan. She came up with this idea."

"I did what had to be done." Origami told them, narrowing her eyes towards the window the eskimo had crashed through as the words he said about Y/N remained on the back of her mind.

"Who would have thought?" Dabi asked as he set his eyes on Dabi, "You made yourself useful in this fight, after all. Too bad Weaponsmith had to arrive at the scene for it to happen."

"Why you must be so cruel to this old man?" Mr. Compress asked as Origami and Mustard exchanged amused glances with each other at their interaction. Their attention was brought back to building the eskimo had crashed into as all of them heard someone moving inside it.

"Don't tell me this asshole wasn't at least knocked out by this?" Mustard asked as the eskimo climbed himself out of the building through the window he had crashed through. He looked exactly a person who was near grenade when it exploded. Some parts of his parka torn off and were covered in blood. His face was slightly bloody as well and he had some cuts on it, presumably from the window he had crashed through.

"I-I must help Re-Destro." He muttered to himself, doing his best to stop himself from losing himself from his consciousness as he knew he got lucky the grenade hit the platform he was standing on instead of him otherwise he would be a dead man.

It was when the ground around them began to tremble. It didn't took the League long to realize what was happening right now. Gigantomachia was here. It wasn't long until it was the large villain appeared himself in their view. Gigantomachia was coming from behind them, from the side of the mountains and charging towards the tower. Dabi, Mr. Compress, Origami and Mustard looked in the direction of the tower and saw it beginning to crumble into dust.

"R-Re-Destro!" The eskimo noticed Gigantomachia charging towards the tower as well, making him forget about the people he was fighting with for the past several minutes. Not wasting any time, began to use his ice powers to transport himself to the tower.

"Dammit. We were so close to getting rid of that asshole." Dabi shook her head, letting out a sigh as he watched the eskimo leave towards the tower.

"To be honest I'll be suprised if he will make it to the tower without passing out on his way to it." Mustard stated.

Origami looked at Gigantomachia with a suprised look on her face, "Why is Gigantomachia here? Isn't it a bit too early to wake him up now?"

"It is." Mr. Compress nodded in confirmation, shaking his head, "Why did he have to wake up early now of all the times. If we clash him now, the League is done for!"

"What are we going to do now?" Origami asked.

"The only thing we can do if we don't want to be crushed to death by him." Mr. Compress replied as he lifted his hand up to his ear and touched his earpiece, contacting Ujiko, "Doctor! You're listening. Aren't you!? Warp up please! Machia's just too much! We're all gonna die!"

"Are you trying to get my Johnny killed?" Ujiko asked.

"Huh?" Mr. Compress exclaimed in suprise.

"Everytime Johnny uses his transport ability, he gets tonsillitis!" Ujiko pointed out.

"The hell do I care? Give him a lozenge or something!" Mr. Compress replied, "And you're totally lying anyway! You've been using it like crazy up to now!"

"I have no desire to work with people who were careless enough to reveal their hideout to the enemy." Ujiko replied, being honest with Mr. Compress right now, "Shake off the Liberation Army's ants mark on you and try again."

"Are you really leaving Shigaraki to die?" Mr. Compress wanted to know, "He's All For One's seccessor? Isn't he?"

"That's exactly why I needed to drive him into a corner." Ujiko stated. From the tone of his voice. Mr. Compress could tell the eldery man was smilling right now.

------

Y/N kept his eyes open for any possible ambushes from the Meta Liberation Army, proceeding to make his way towards the tower as he stayed close to Shigaraki and Spinner ever since their fight with Re-Destro's army begun. He had no idea where the rest of the League was right now as he lost his sight of them shortly after they were ambushed by the Liberation Army. Whenever they were right now, he hoped they were doing better than him, Shigaraki and Spinner and were closer to reaching the tower than they were.

The group of three villains still had at least a few minutes of running ahead of them and they knew they won't reach the the tower in this time as they knew how obvious it was that they would be ambushed by members of the Liberation Army on their way to their destination. It already happened about two times since the League split up in their pursuit of the tower and they knew it was only a matter of time before it would happen again.

The h/c haired boy looked over his shoulder, looking behind him at the group of either deceased or unconcious members or the dusty remains who those who were decayed by Shigarkai which he left behind with Shigaraki and Spinner. With the combined efforts of the three of them, they managed to get rid of everyone who tried to attack them to the point but he knew he couldn't allow himself to lower his guard as he knew the ambush could happen at any moment.

He shifted his attention away from behind and looked ahead of himself, seeing Shigaraki running ahead of him and Spinner. The h/c haired boy let out a tired yawn, still feeling tired from all the fighting he did with Gigantomachia ovet the course of the last month and half and the lack of sleep he had during the said time period. He really hoped he wouldn't fall asleep out of exhaustion in the middle of a fight as he knew how badly it would end up for him and how vulnarble it would leave Shigaraki and Spinner.

"Y/N." Spinner called out for the younger villain, running next to him as both of them ran behind Shigaraki, "How are you doing?"

"I'm fine." Y/N brushed his concerns off, "I'm still a bit tired from all the fighting we did with Gigantomachia. If they didn't call us right after we were done with our most recent fight him then and got some rest, then I don't think I would be as tired as I am right now."

"What about your Quirk?" Spinner asked him another question.

Y/N raised his brow at him underneath his mask, the eyelids of it showing two question marks, "My Quirk? What about it?"

"Do you need to take a break from using it?" Spinner voiced what he had in mind to him, "With you having fought Machia shortly before we were called by Re-Destro, I'm worried you can hit your limit of using it and get a headache."

"Don't worry about it." Y/N brushed his concerns off, "Just like I told you earlier. With the amount of headaches I got from fighting Gigantomachia, I think was limit was extended beyond the limit I would achieve if I tried to extend it normally like I tried to do since the USJ. I don't think I will get a headache anytime soon right now."

"Alright. Just wanted to make sure." Spinner nodded at him as he shifted his gaze from YN to Shigaraki, "What about you Shigaraki. How are you..."

His words died in his throat as a group of several members of the Liberation Army appeared in front of them seemingly out of thin air. Y/N and Spinner froze in their tracks, because of how sudden their appearance was as they readied themselves to charge at them and help Shigaraki take them out. Shigaraki remained where he stood for a few seconds, acting like there wasn't a group of several members of the Liberation Army charging towards him right now.

The blue haired young man made his way a few seconds later as he quickly climbed his way on the top of the fence next to him and rushed forward. As he rushed forward, he touched the face of the man in front of the group trying to attack him, Y/N and Spinner and the man turned into dust a second later. He wasn't the only one from his group to turn into dust, though. The rest of his group shared his fate and all of them became nothing but dust a second later.

"W-What?" Spinner stopped in his tracks with a suprised look on his face as Shigaraki jumped down from the fence, looking ahead of himself with a tired look on his face. The lizard shifted his gaze to Y/N a second later as Y/N looked equally as suprised as he was, "Y/N. Have you seen it too or is there something wrong with my eyes."

"No. I saw it too." Y/N replied, pushing himself into walk towards Shigaraki as Shigaraki remained where he stood, acting like he didn't just decay several people after touching only one of them, "Tomura-kun. Have you seen what you just did? You didn't even touch most of them! You decay spread across everyone in a second!"

Shigaraki remained silent, not moving an inch from his place as Y/N catched up to him and allowed himself to take a look at how Shigaraki looked like right now. His partner was staring ahead of himself with a large smile on his face and was drolling from his mouth. If Y/N was honest after taking a look at the state of his partner, Shigaraki didn't even look like he was completely conscious right now. He looked like he was half asleep right now.

"Tomura-kun? Are you there?" He called out for him in a slight concern. His eyes widened in suprise a second later as Shigaraki pushed himself out of his half asleep state. The blue haired young man lowered his head, setting his eyes on the ground and vomited all over it. The masked villain cringed slightly at the view of it happening but at the same time was happy that it happened as it meant Shigaraki had not lost his consciousness.

"Dammit..." Shigaraki muttered to himself, wiping his lips into his sleeve as he shifted his attention to Y/N, "I'm so fucking tired that I almost fell asleep here and now."

Spinner approached Shigaraki and Y/N from behind and stopped on Shigaraki's other side. Worry was evident in his voice as he asked him,, "Shigaraki! Are you alright?"

"Yeah." Y/N agreed with Spinner's question, "You don't look so good right now."

"How about you?" Shigaraki asked in return, not answering to their worried questions, "Maybe we should have waited instead."

"If we didn't come to this city, we would have been reported and hunted down by the heroes. We were caught between a rock a hard place." Spinner replied as he glanced at Y/N and saw the masked villain looking at him with a two questions marks showed on the eyelids of his mask. The younger villain must have remembered his mind about coming here to fight the Meta Liberation and must have been confused by him giving a completely different answer right now, "I had enough time to think about this since it was decided we will come here and fight them and you were right. So was the rest. We would be screwed, no matter what would we choose. We just choose lesser of the two evils."

"I see." Y/N voiced his understanding of Spinner's explanation as the questions marks vanished from the eyelids of his mask, leaving them blank. He looked ahead of them a second later and set his eyes on the tower in the distance, "Look. The tower is pretty close right now."

Shigaraki followed his example as he looked ahead of himself and narrowed his eyes at the amount of the Liberation Army forces in front of them, "...Looks like the crowd is getting bigger the closer we get to the tower."

Shigaraki wasn't exaggerating when he uttered those words. The area in front of him, Y/N and Spinner was filled with the members of the Liberation Army as they were observing them with their powers in ready from every possible direction. They were standing on the ground, on the fences, on the roofs. Simply everywhere. Shigaraki and Y/N  exchanged glances with each other at this view, knowing how their time of reaching the tower had just been increased.

"Is there no end for this?!" Spinner exclaimed, shaking his head as he couldn't imagine himself fighting all of them at once. Even if he knew him going against all these people was inevitable.

Y/N shook his head, feeling red energy circling around his hands right now as he readied himself for the fight, "You can really say they have over 100 000 people in their army if they are throwing so many people at just the three of us."

Upon laying their eyes on Shigaraki, Y/N and Spinner, the distance Quirks users in the members of the Liberation Army members in front of them readied themselves to attack the said three members of the League of Villains and launched various attacks on them. With the amount of attacks they launched at them right now and with how quickly they attacked, they knew Shigaraki, Y/N and Spinner won't get enough time to dodge all of them and will eventually be harmed by their attacks in some way.

They had no idea what would happen next as something or rather someone came in Shigaraki, Y/N and Spinner. This someone was Twice. Or their his clones. The clones shoved themselves towards the three members of the League of Villains from behind, intending to push them out of the reach of the attacks launched at them. The clones slammed themselves Shigaraki, Y/N and Spinner and all three of them were pushed further down the street, finding themselves out of the attacks reach and dodging them without getting any injures in the process.

"Wow! There's so many Twices!" Spinner exclaimed in suprise, finding himself sandwiched by Twice's as there was at least a dozen of them on him right now.

Y/N slowly pushed himself back into his feet, his eyes refusing to leave Twice's clone as the eyelids of his mask showed just how suprised he was right now, "Twice. Why there's so many of you right now?

Shigaraki looked around the clones in front of him with a suprised and tired look on his face, "Don't tell us you cloned yourself?"

"YEAH!" Many clones replied at the same time and one of them added afterwards, "With this, perharps I'll finally be of use to the League!"

"Doesn't matter how many of you there are! You're all just sacrifices for our ressurection!" A man voice cried out as the members of the Liberation Army from in front of Shigaraki, Y/N and Spinner charged towards them after seeing how their distance attacks failed. Not wasting any time, the army of Twice's rushed towards them and they began fighting each other after meeting each other in the middle of the distance between them.

Shigaraki slowly got himself back on his feet with a small smile on his face, "That's amazing Twice."

"Yeah. It is amazing." Y/N smiled widely underneath his mask, his mask showing how proud he was of Twice right now as he set his eyes on the clone in front of him, "See, Twice? I told you there will be a day when you will save our butts."

Twice's clone smiled at him underneath his mask, "Yes. You did. I'm so happy I'm finally returning the favor to you and Toga-chan for the faith you've been putting in me for all this time!"

"Mind opening a path to the tower for us while you're at it?" Shigaraki asked as he pushed himself into walk forward himself. Y/N and Spinner wasted no time and followed him and all three of them were followed by the army of Twice's clones, "They told us that the boss and Giran are up there. Might up just be a trap but their defense is getting stronger as the closer we get almost as if they are protecting it."

"On it!" A clone next to Shigaraki nodded and pointed at him, "Why don't you just lean on Y/N or Spinner as we will clear the way to the tower? I might just accidentally destroy the entire Liberation Army just by myself!"

"At this point can't we just leave it all to Twice?" Spinner asked, having just catched up to Y/N and Shigaraki as he approached them from behind.

"Yeah." Shigaraki replied, "He just likes Giran way too much."

"What do you think, Y/N?" Spinner asked as he shifted his gaze to Y/N. Y/N remained silent, causing him to raise his brow, "Y/N? You okay?"

"Nothing. It's just. I realized something." Y/N replied, clenching his hand in anger upon getting this realization, "Something must have happened to Twice to make him overcome his trauma. Those bastards must have done something to him."

"Don't worry about it." Shigaraki told him, "Whatever they did to Twice, those bastards are going to pay for playing with his emotions."

Y/N smiled slightly at him underneath his mask, "I like the sound of that."

"Ring- Leader of the League of Villains and the co-leader of the League of villains!" Hanabata's voice sounded in front of Y/N, Shigaraki and Spinner as all three of them shifted their attention to it and saw passing a corner and driving right into their view. It stopped a few meters ahead of them, making them stop in their tracks and blocking the further path towards the tower. Hanabata stood on top of the van, doing the L salute in front of his head,, "It is truly regrettable that you have made me come to like you this much!"

Spinner raised his brow, "Hanabata? I completely forgot about him."

"He vanished right after we were ambushed with the rest. We should have expected he was planning something." Y/N stated, the eyelids of his mask showing two exclamation marks.

"We humans are not weak! Everyone holds 'power' within them!" Hanabata continued, ignoring the comments that were just made by Y/N and Spinner, "Through this ressurection festival we must show the world how we humans with special abilities stand victorious against evil! The power to earn our lives with out own hands. Hear my words, Liberation Army! Gather your power! Open a path to a new era of freedom!"

"I can see why this guy is a politician." Shigaraki stated with slight irritation in his voice as Y/N and Spinner looked at him, "He talks too much."

"...It is time to show the world how everyone is a hero and that nobody is a hero!" Hanabata finished his declaration and all of his subordinates charged towards Shigaraki, Spinner, Y/N and Twice's clones.

A man hopped over the fence and swung his fist at Y/N, Shigaraki and Spinner, not giving them enough time to react. The fist directed with Shigaraki's stomach, creating a massive shockwave upon the impact. The shockwave destroyed Twice's clones and knocked Y/N and Spinner away from Shigaraki, pushing them closer to Hanabata. The shockwave pushed Shigaraki away from Y/N and Spinner, finding himself surrounded in the brown grease left by Twice's clones.

"Dammit!" Y/N thought to himself as he crashed on the ground after getting hit by the shockwave. He clenched his teeth upon landing on the ground and put his hands on the ground, beginning to push himself back on his feet. As he got himself back on his feet, he set his eyes on Spinner who was next to him, "Are you alright, Spinner?"

"Yeah. It just took me by suprise." Spinner replied as he wasted no time and got himself back on his feet. He looked around himself in attempt to notice Shigaraki. He was nowhere to be seen, though, "Where's Shigaraki?"

"The shockwave sent him in the other direction. Or at least this is what I saw before we crushed into the ground." Y/N explained as he looked in the direction the shockwave pushed Shigaraki in and was about to push himself into run towards it, "Come on. We need to catch up with him."

"Right behind you." Spinner nodded at him and was about to push himself into run after Shigaraki as well.

"I don't think this will happen." Hanabata said as countless of his subordinates surrounded Y/N and Spinner from every possible direction, making it impossible for them to go after Shigaraki.

"Shit!" Spinner froze in his tracks, knowing he won't be able to go after Shigaraki now and glanced at Y/N, "Y/N! Use your Quirk to float yourself over to Shigaraki! I'll be fine!"

"Okay." Y/N nodded at him, feeling slightly reluctant about leaving Spinner alone with Hanabata. Just as he was about make himself float above the ground and make his way towards where Shigaraki was right now, a few attacks were launched at him from the members of the Liberation Army on the roofs of the buildings around him and Spinner. He quickly gave up on what he was about to do, knowing how trying to float will end up for him, "Dammit! I can't float right now! They will shoot me down right away!"

Spinner shook his head at the situation he and Y/N found themselves in right now, "Fuck! They have us pinned!"

"Now, with you having realized that. Can we get to talking?" Hanabata said as Y/N and Spinner shifted his gaze to him, "Let's talk about you L/N Y/N. The teenager believed to be co-leader of the League of Villains and the right hand of Shigaraki Tomura."

Y/N raised his brow at him, the eyelids of his mask showing two questions marks, "What do you want to talk about with me?"

"Meta Ability: Red Energy. Was born Quirkless was received his Meta Ability from All For One." Hanabata began as he summoned a metal mask and covered his face with it, resulting in his voice becoming louder and capable of reaching more people, "From the information your aunt Okuda Grace provided the media following the incident of Camino Ward, you suffered abuse and neglect at the hands of your parents and people believe that this was led you to joining All For One."

Y/N clenched his hand, "Why are we talking about it right now?"

"I would like to know if there's to this." Hanabata explained, "Tell me. L/N Y/N. You were bullied in school right? The mistreatment of people who were born without their own Meta Ability isn't a topic completely new nowadays. Is there something more to your case or did the abuse and neglect you suffered by the hands of your parents is the only reason for your villanous actions? Perharps Bakugo Katsuki had something to do with it?"

"What?" Y/N asked, the eyelids of his mask showing how suprised he was by Hanabata bringing up Bakugo to him out of all people right now as everyone around him could hear the hostilty in his voice when it came to Bakugo, "Why are you bringing this asshole up right now?"

"One of us did a little research on each member of the League and the information he found you and Bakugo made us believe there's some kind of unpleasant history between the two of you." Hanabata pointed out, "The League targeted Bakugo during their attack on the U.A Summer Camp and Bakugo received a beating his time in captivity. From the interviews he gave to the authorities after Camino Ward, everyone learned that you were the one who beat him up. Tell me? Did you beat him up for a reason or was it just because?"

"Of course I did it for a reason! The asshole had it coming for a long time." Y/N replied, raising his voice a bit as Spinner looked at him in slight concern. It was rare to see Y/N show anger like he did right now. The thought of people thinking Bakugo was just an innocent victim who never did anything wrong must have been making him angry on the inside, "I wouldn't do that unless he gave me some other choice. I hoped the U.A or my disappearance would change him for the better but it changed nothing him. He was still the same asshole I knew him as for my entire life and everyone were still brushing his behavior aside. Someone finally had to give the beating he deserved and I gave it to him."

"I see." Hanataba nodded his head in a satisfied manner, "So there was an unpleasant story between you after all. You were bullied by him in your school right? Perharps the hatred of the world that bullied and abused you brought you here today? Through your actions, you will wreak havoc on the world you hate."

Y/N clenched his hand tighter, "I'm not here to destroy the world that bullied and abused me. I'm here to fix it."

"Fix it?" Hanabata asked, sounding interested to learn the answer, "How?"

"By doing a complete reset of everything." Y/N answered, "You want to know our goal, right? You know to know what drives the League to do theri actions? The answer is our reset. We will destroy the society that spat us out and rebuilt it from a zero. A complete reset of it. The new society will be better for people like me. Poeple like Weaponsmith. People like Shigaraki. People like Spinner. People like Toga. Simply for everyone."

"I see. You are aiming towards a better future." Hanabata nodded in understanding, feeling pleasantly suprised by the goal of the League as he was expecting something far worse, "It is just what the Meta Liberation Army does. By us acheving our goal and having people use their Meta Ability in their daily as they saw fit will create a much better world. If we will achieve Destro's dream, people will not be determined by their Meta Ability."

"I see. What about people like me? People who were born Quirkless?" Y/N wanted to know.

"It is just what I said. In the future we're aiming for, people will not be determined by their Meta Ability." Hanabata repeated what he just said to Y/N.

"How can you know things will not backfire for people like me if you will achieve your future?" Y/N asked, "People like me are already treated like the bottom of a barrel. What if the society you will create will things worse for them than they already? What if people will grow to believe like their strength is what links their place in the society?"

Spinner nodded in agreement, "Y/N's right. If this plan of yours will backfire, not only the people but also people with weak powers like me will be left behind by people with strong powers. Shigaraki and Y/N's plan of building a new society from zero includes everyone. No matter if they would be a heteromorph like me or a Quirkless person like Y/N used to me or someone with a villanous power like Toga-chan or Mustard. We will make sure everyone will be included in our new better world and everyone will be treated equally in there."

"Even if there wasn't this hole regarding people of my mind in your plan, I don't think I would join you." Y/N added, "I know you had to do something to Twice to make him overcome his trauma and I know it must have been something terrible. You see. My comrades. I care about them. They're important to me. More than anyone else in this world. I care about them more than I care about myself. I don't care what happens to me for as long as they safe."

"Y/N." Spinner muttered to himself.

Y/N didn't hear Spinner call out for him and went further into his words to Hanabata, "It doesn't include just Twice. It includes Giran as well. Despite him not being officialy part of the League of Villains and being just our broker, he is sitll someone who helped us out and saving him from you is the least we can do for him. You hurt both him and Twice and I don't think the part of me that cares my comrades would be okay with me becoming one of your subordinates."

"I see. Alright." Hanata nodded at Y/N, having heard enough from him as he snapped his fingers, "This marks the end of our discussion, L/N Y/N."

Y/N and Spinner immediately put themselves on their guard, expecting Hanabata's subordinates to attack them. Much to their suprise, the subordinates didn't move an inch closer to them and remained where they stood. The two villains from the League got the answer the question flying through their minds right now a second later as the wall next to them was broken after something crashed through it.

Spinner covered his face with his hands, protecting his face and more importantly his eyes from the flying debris from the wall as Y/N took a step backwards, looking around himself to determine what just happened. Unfortunely he couldn't see what just broke through this wall because of the dust this action created. His eyes widened a second later, feeling something wrap itself around him and as he looked below him and saw a certain article of clothing wrapping itself around him.

"Obi sashes?!" The masked villain thought to himself with suprise written all over his masked face when this particular fragment of clothing had just wrapped itself around him completely out of nowhere and took him away from Spinner, not giving him or his comrade a single chance to stop it from happening.

"Y/N!" Spinner shouted after his friend in worry as he could do nothing but to watch how Y/N was taken away from him. He wished he could go after him and free him from the grasp of those obi sashes in some way but even if he would manage to climb him onto the wall of a building.

"Now with this little inconvenience out of our way, let's talk about you Iguichi Shuichi." Hanabata said as soon as Y/N brought out of everyone's view, "Special ability: Gecko. Clinging to the walls is call you can do. You were once bullied weren't you? And you became a shut-in to escape the bullying. Perharps it is that resentment which brings you here and makes you aid the League in their goals? Unfortunely I don't see you as a person who could ever accomplish anything!"

Spinner glared at Hanabata, having shifted his attention to him as he knew there was no way he could catch up to whoever had just kidnapped Y/N. His words of him being a person who could could ever accomplish anything flew through his mind on repeat. The lizard man scoffed, shaking his head at the man on top of the van. Hanabata didn't have to tell him that. He knew himself better than anyone and knew this part about himself better than anyone.

He didn't have anything to love unlike Toga or Origami and didn't have strong powers that would help him achieve his goal like Shigaraki or Y/N or Twice or Dabi. Despite all of that, however, his heart burned with passion when he saw Stain in the TV and when he heard Shigaraki's speech about doing a reset to Ujiko back in Ujiko's lab a month and a half ago, he began to wish to see the future Shigaraki and Y/N, his friends who bonded with him over video game, envisioned with his very own eyes.

He looked up at Hanabata with a grin beginning to form on his face, exclaiming loudly to him, "That's right! I'm just a lower class citizen who can't accomplish anything without standing on the shoulders of others. What's wrong about that? Y'all the same? Aren't you Mr. Politician? Am I wrong?"

Spinner readied himself and his blades for a fight the further he went into his words to Hanabata, his grin refusing to leave his face as he readied himself for the inevitable fight between him and Hanabata's subordinates. Nothing was going to stop him from seeing the future Shigaraki and Y/N envisioned with his very own eyes. Even if he would have to face all of them with his his blades. Whatever was going to happen, he knew had to find a way how to help Shigaraki and Y/N. Fast.

------

As all of this continued to happen between Spinner and Hanabata, Y/N did everything in his power to try to free himself from the grasp of the obi sashes he had found himself wrapped around in. Unfortunely, he couldn't find a way out of the unpleasant place he had found himself in because of how tightly the obi sashes were wrapped around him. It wasn't long until he came to conclusion the only way he would free himself from his prison would be after the person controlling the obi sashes would decide to release him from them.

It happened a few seconds later as the person controlling the obi sashes must have brought him to the place they wanted him to be in. He was slammed roughly into the ground, the impact of the landing knocking his mask off of his face. He clenched his teeth when his body was slammed into the ground as it was quite painful because of the force the person controlling them put into it, hearing how his mask slid across the ground away from him after being separated from his face.

Doing his best to ignore the pain he was in right now, the h/c haired boy quickly got himself back on his feet and wasted no time when it came to look around himself. He knew he had to get to learn more about the situation he had just been brought into as quickly as possible. It didn't took him long to find out just how bad his situation was as he found himself surrounded on all sides by the members of the Liberation Army.

A woman with a dark purple hair in her mid 20's caught his attention in the crowd surrounding him as he eyed her in his panicked state. Why did she caught his attention out of all people in front of him? It was because of the six obi sashes were coming out from her. They almost seemed like they were part of her body from his perspective. The obi sashes were floating above the ground behind her back, sticking out in the random directions. It almost made her look like she was going to use them to climb up the wall like she was a spider if Y/N was honest with himself.

There was one more thing the h/c haired boy quickly noticed about this woman during his short observation of her. It was her appearance and her clothes or rather almost complete lack of them. It didn't took long to notice just how uncovered her entire body was right now. Her stomach, her thighs, her arms and a good portion of her legs. All of it was uncovered. The only notable articles of clothing she had on herself were her black panties tied by long, black bows on the sides and the two pink pieces of cloth that covered her large chest. The last parts of her outfit were black thigh-high stockings and a pair of regular geta sandals.

If Y/N wasn't in such a situation right now, he would blush at how little clothing she had on herself right now and would question himself how she wasn't cold, considering it was December. Pushing his attention away from her appearance as he knew he shouldn't focus himself on it right now and should instead focus on getting himself out of the tough spot he had been just brought into by this unknown woman.

Just as he was about to make himself float in the air, he found himself wrapped in the obi sashes and was slammed into the ground by the person controlling them. He let out a deep exhale, having a pained expression on his face right now because of the force the purple haired woman used when she slammed him into the control as he looked up and set his eyes on the purple haired woman again. Her subordinates didn't move from where they stood and just continued to stare at him.

Whatever was going to happen in the next few minutes, he was certain about one thing. He was not getting out of here by floating as this unknown woman will definitely grab him and slam him into the ground when will try to float again. He got himself back on his feet as quickly as he could and held his red energy covered fists in front of him, readying himself for the fight. If he couldn't get out of this situation by floating, then he will get himself out of it like this. Even if he couldn't imagine himself fighting so many people at the same time. It was the largest amount of enemies he had to face by himself since becoming the Mask.

He swung his fist at the man standing next to him, intending to make him the first person he would take out in order to bring himself out of this rough spot. Unfortunely for him he never landed this punch as the obi sashes of the purple haired woman made themselves known again. They didn't grab him this time, though as the owner of them had a completely different intention right now. They instead began assaulting, slamming into him and hitting him from every possible side.

Y/N clenched his teeth, doing his best to ignore the pain going through his body as the purple haired woman didn't stop with her assault. As the assault continued, he felt himself growing weaker and found himself struggling to keep himself on his feet because of his growing injures. He gasped for breath, feeling how one of the obi sashes had just slammed itself into his chest as this attack caused him to struggle with breathing.

He wrapped his hands around his stomach, holding it in pain as he stumbled backwards a bit with a pained look on his face. The purple haired woman knew what to do next as she finished her assault by slamming two of her obi sashes into his face. Fist obi sash went along Y/N's face, leaving a cut which will surely become a scar if Y/N will make out of this situation alive which she doubted will happen and her second obi hit him right in his forehead, knocking him to the ground.

The h/c haired boy landed on the ground, letting out a painful gasp upon the impact. He slowly lifted up his hand, running his hand around the cut on his face as he used his other hand to slowly push himself into a sitting position. He let out a deep breath, putting everything he had in himself and got himself back on his feet. He set his eyes on the purple haired woman, glaring at her as the purple haired woman smirked at him, licking her lips in a suggestive manner.

It was when her subordinates began their assault. Y/N's eyes widened as he was hit in the back by a small blast of energy. He stumbled forward himself, having been forcefully pushed into walk by this blast and found himself in surrounded by other members of the Liberation Army. Y/N attempted to fight back against them despite his pained state and punched the man in front of him in the face, causing him to stumble backwards slightly.

It didn't do anything about the unpleasant situation he found himself, though as this man was just one of the many people surrounding him. His comrades immediately began their assault, one person hitting him after another and Y/N clenched his teeth as the explosions of pain going through his body right now. He was left completely unable to do anything to stop this from happening to him right now because of him getting assaulted from every possible side and receiving a hit from an opponent no matter which directed he had stumbled into.

The last hit that he received was from a man who was holding a tall pole. The man slammed his weapon down, hitting Y/N on the top of his head and Y/N was knocked to the ground. The h/c haired boy let out a deep breath upon landing on the ground, feeling pain in possibly each part of his part as the sound of geta sandals touching the ground rang through his ears. He weakly looked up and saw the purple haired woman standing in front of him.

"You know? This is the first time when our Grand Commander entrusted with such an important task." She began to say to him as she stepped on him with one of her her geta sandals. She leaned closer to him, licking her lips in a suggestive manner as Y/N looked up at her and allowed himself to take a better look at her face from up close. What immediately caught his attention about her face was the fact she had differently colored eyes. Her right eye was blue and her left eye was brown, "He thought the best way of countering you would be someone with a Meta Ability like mine and keeping you surrounded from all sides. It was smart of him to come up with this plan, just like you would except from him, as it worked perfectly. You were no match for us and our Meta Abilities."

Y/N remained silent, glaring up at the purple haired woman as he tried to push himself back on his feet and do something to put the advantage in his fight on his side, even though he had no idea how he would do this. The purple haired woman pressed her gate sandal further into him, making sure he will stay on the ground as Y/N gritted his teeth in pain as he lowered his head slightly. When he looked up at the purple woman again, he saw her flushing slightly.

She removed her geta sandal from his back shortly after and turned away from him. She pushed herself into walk, walking away from him and motioned to her subordinates to attack Y/N, "Finish him off everyone. I'll go contact the rest and inform them of us accomplishing our task."

Her subordinates nodded at her and moved towards Y/N, intending to finish him off once and for all as the purple haired woman stepped away from them and reached her hand upwards to contact everyone through her earpiece. Just as she moved away from him, Y/N went back to what he was doing and knew he had to be fast because of the people advancing towards him. He didn't have to think long to figure out what will happen to him if he will stay down.

The h/c haired boy continued with his attempts at pushing himself up from the ground but all the hits he had just received and all the cuts and bruises he had received from the attacks of people around him were keeping him on the ground. He simply couldn't find the strength in his body right now as his wounds and exhaustion from fighting Gigantomachia for two days shortly before getting the call from Re-Destro made him too weak to do anything else but lay defeated on the ground right now.

A wave of disappointment directed towards himself went through Y/N"s body as words couldn't describe how much he felt disappointed in himself right now because of how defeated he felt right now. He recalled all the times when he felt trained to make himself stronger with either Origami or Rappa or All For One and realized how all this training felt pointless to him. All of the training he had put himself through pointless to him right now because of what just happened between him and the members of the Liberation Army.

He put himself through all of this training and what did it meant in the end? Absolutely nothing. His opponents still defeated him without any problem and he couldn't even fight them back. He couldn't do anything about him just like he couldn't do anything about the bullying he had gone through in his junior high and the abuse and neglect he had suffered by the hands of his parents throughout most of his life. How was he going to create a new society if he couldn't even win against the members of the Liberation Army.

All of this made him realize one thing. It made him realize how he hadn't changed from the person he was back then. It made him realize how all the time he spent trying improve himself and make himself stronger was for nothing. It made him realize how everyone who trained with him over the course of the last few months like Origami and everyone who trained him since he became a villain like All For One and Rappa just wasted their time trying to help him improve his abilities.

"...So this is it. This is how everything is going to end? Look at yourself you fucking idiot! You haven't changed one goddamn bit from the person you were before Sensei took you in! You're still as useless as you have ever been...!" He thought to himself upon realizing how he had no energy in him anymore and how he was not going to get up anytime soon unless someone would come over to him and help him up which he doubted would happen.

As he continued to lay on the ground, defeated and unmoving, his mind decided it would be a good time to play a trick on him as the members of the Meta Liberation Army were replaced by the shadowy figures of people from his past such as his parents, Bakugo, Tomohito, Taiga, Ryoyu, his teachers and schoolmates from Aldera Junior High. All of them crowded around him and had their eyes set on him, their expressions showing either amusement or disappointment.

"Useless!"

"Pathetic!"

"Loser!"

"Quirkless trash!"

"Useless disappointment!"

"Why were you born?!"

"You'll never amount to anything!"

"You will always be worse than us!"

"Shut up. Shut up..." He muttered to himself this word internally over and over again as all the hurtful words he heard on the daily basis before becoming the Mask continued to fly through his head, insulting him for his failure against the members of the Meta Liberation Army. He did his best to ignore them, hoping they will fade away along with the figures of people from his past. Unfortunely it did not work as the voices didn't stop shouting various hurtful insults at him. There was simply no end to them, "No. Stop it. I'm not useless. I'm not useless. I'M NOT USELESS!"

It was when something happened. A wave of red energy shot out from his body in all the directions completely all of a sudden. Everyone around Y/N froze dead in their tracks and stopped what they were doing as soon as it happened, having been completely taken aback by wave of red energy shooting out of Y/N's  body as they weren't expecting something like this to happen right now.

That wasn't all. In fact, it was just the beginning. This wave of red energy wasn't the only thing regarding Y/N's power to come out of him. This wave was just the start. More red energy came out of his body as it began circling not only around his hands but around his entire body. His head. His torso. His arms. His legs. Literally each part of his body was surrounded by with red energy right now.

Y/N had no idea how to describe how he was feeling right now. The feeling going through his body right now was similiar something to what he felt back when All For One gave him his power. Only this time this feeling was much less painful and didn't cause him to scream in pain. It instead made him feel something completely opposite. It gave him all the strength he needed right now to make himself stand up from the ground. It was gave him the strength he lacked after those people beat him to the pulp.

The h/c haired boy gritted his teeth as he pushed himself up from the ground into his feet. He let out a deep breath, glaring at the people around him as he lifted his red energy covered hands and picked up all the rubble from the destroyed fence next to him. The members of the Liberation Army allowed themselves to eye him when all of this happen and noticed there was something off about his eyes. Something they knew wasn't there before.

It was red energy. This red energy, however, was different from the red energy that was just circling around his body. It wasn't circling around his eyesballs and his eye sockets were instead glowing with it, making him look like he had red eyes of e/c green. The members of the Meta Liberation Army around Y/N  pushed themselves out of their suprised states right after this observation and readied themselves to finish what they started, intending on making sure Y/N will not get up this time.

Y/N didn't let them put their plan in motion, though as tossed the pieces of rubble he was holding in his power towards them, making the purple haired woman his target as he knew he was the biggest threat out of everyone around him right now. Seeing the amount of rubble tossed her way by Y/N and the pace it was the flying towards her with, the purple haired woman covered herself with her obi ashes to shield herself from the upcoming attack.

Her tacting of blocking the upcoming attack with her obi sashes worked out in the end as she managed to avoid getting herself hurt by Y/N's most recent attack. After moving the obi sashes away and uncovering her view, she immediately looked towards where Y/N was supposed to be standing and much to the mutual suprise of her and her fellow members of the Liberation Army, Y/N was nowhere to be seen.

Not wasting anytime, all of them looked around themselves in an attempt of locating Y/N and got what they were looking for a few seconds later as one of them pointed upwards. The purple haired woman looked up and saw Y/N descending towards her and her fellow members of the Liberation Army with an angered look on his face. What caught her attention was the fact how Y/N kept his hands raised close to his face.

She raised her brow at the view of it, having been told before this fight how Y/N could only use one hand to fight when he was in the air because of him having to use one of them to keep himself in the air. It didn't look like Y/N was using either of his hands to keep himself in the air right now from her point of view. This view made her finally realize what just happened. Y/N's  power had evolved because of how close to death he had just come.

This realization made her keep her guard up, having been made aware of how unpredictable Y/N can be right now if his Quirk really had evolved as she wouldn't know what to expect from him and his attcks. Y/N wasted no time, proceeding his descend towards his opponents and tossed a few balls of the red energy towards them, not having to wait several seconds until one would be formed anymore. He didn't even realize it right now as was too lost in his task of getting this fight over with.

A member of the Meta Liberation Army stepped away from the ball of red energy heading towards him, allowing it to hit the ground. It didn't mean he avoided getting any damage, though as the ball created a small explosion upon hitting the ground, knocking him away. Y/N immediately took notice of this, seeing the black spot the ball left on the ground uopn exploading and tossed several more balls of red energy towards his opponents as he hoped for the same thing to happen.

The effects of this attack were exactly what he wished would happen as the area underneath him was covered in dozens of the small explosions after his balls of the red energy collided with the ground below him. The dust caused by those several explosions covered the area underneath him as Y/N kept himself above the ground, waiting for the smoke to die down in order to see the effects of this attack and to see if how many of his opponets managed not to get knocked off their feet by his attack.

He got the answer of who remained on their feet just a second later as a familiar set of obi ashes moved towards him through the cloud of smoke he had created with his attack. He quickly moved himself to the side and the obi sashes wasted no time and moved after him. The h/c haired boy looked down towards the source of the obi sashes, continuing to dodge the strikes directed his way as the smoke died down and set his eyes on the purple haired woman.

The purple haired woman glared up at him, doing her best to land a successful attack on Y/N as she stood on the tips of her toes, having discarded her footwear after attack begun his red energy ball attack to make it easier for her to move around and to avoid small explosions caused by this attack. She did everything in her power to keep Y/N's occupied as the comrades of hers who weren't knocked out by the small explosion were either collecting themselves from the attack or getting themselves back on their feet.

Y/N nodded to himself, having decided what to do as his next move as he moved himself downards towards the purple haired woman, intending to take her out as soon as possible as he knew he won't be able to repeat this attack from a few seconds earlier if the purple haired woman will continue with her obi sashes attacks. He increased his pace as he started descending towards his target and the purple haired man's eyes widened, knowing what will happen if she won't stop Y/N in time.

Her obi sashes wasted no time and followed Y/N, intending to stop him before he will reach his target. Unfortunely the purple haired woman had no idea it was already too late for her to do anything. Y/N reached his just a second later and directed a firm red energy covered punch to her face. The purple haired woman gritted her teeth in pain, finding herself knocked away from Y/N after his firm punch. The last thing she saw before getting knocked away were his glowing red eyes.

The purple haired woman slided across the ground after landing it on, distancing herself further from Y/N and the fight and stopped a few seconds later. Her obi sashes followed their owner and landed next to the purple haired woman, surrounding her. The purple haired woman remained on the ground, collecting herself from the firm red energy covered punch she had just received as she knew this punch definitely left a bruise on her cheek.

With the purple haired woman out of the picture for now, Y/N knew he didn't have to worry about her for now and could focus himself on defeating the rest of her group. He looked around himself, seeing how the members of the Liberation Army were either charging towards him or were preparing themselves to fire their powers at him. He shifted his attention away from them shortly after and nodded to himself, knowing what move he should make next.

He made himself float again, this time not using one hand to keep himself in the air as he knew doing this won't be necessary anymore and looked around himself, seeing how everyone immediately looked up at him. It was when a tree caught his sight in the nearby garden. Directing his attention and his red energy towards it, he pulled out of the ground without any problem and brought it closer to himself as he intended to use it during his next attack.

Wasting no time, he pushed the tree he held in his power towards the members of the Liberation Army on the right side of the ground, where most of his opponents were. The tree collided with the two members on the front of the group just shortly after, sending them flying backwards. Y/N didn't stop with just them, though. He continued to move the tree forward and refused to stop doing so until all of the members of the Liberation Army on the right side of the area were knocked as far away as possible.

The h/c  haired boy nodded to himself in a satisfied manner as he took a look at the people he had just knocked away with the three he held in his red energy and saw a good portion of them were knocked away by the force of the three slamming into them. A few of them were still concious, but Y/N doubted they will try to attack him again for the next few moments as all of them were collecting themselves from having a tree slammed into them.

Knowing not to worry about them attacking him for now, Y/N shifted his gaze to the left side of the area and set his eyes on few remaining opponents. He lowered himself to the ground right after, having figured out how he wanted to take care of them. Upon landing on the ground, he was immediately greeted by an attack from one of the opponents of his as the said immediately took his chance after seeing him land on the ground.

Y/N dodged his attack without any problem and directed a firm red energy covered punch towards his face. His fist collided with his opponents face, knocking him away from him as the rest of his remaining opponents wasted no time and charged towards him. Not wasting any time, Y/N immediately readied himself to face all three of them and raises his fist, ready to fight all of them this way and intending to make sure they would end up sharing the fate of the man he had just knocked away from him with his punch.

The next few moments of his time were spent fighting with the remaing members of the Liberation Army using only his red energy powered fists. The members of the said army did their best to defeat him but Y/N in his current state gave them no chance and went all the way on them. Using everything he had learned from Rappa since he brought him and Tengai into the League and putting all the improvements from Rappa to good use, Y/N managed defeat each of his opponents and knocked them away from him with the last punch he directed at them, resulting in all of them landing close to the purple haired woman.

A man with a tall pole was one of those people. The man swung his pole down, intending to hit Y/N right in the top of his head with it and result in him being dizzy and vulnerable for the attacks. Not everything went according to his plan, though as Y/N caught the pole before it could hit his head. He slowly shifted his gaze to the man holding the pole, tightening his grip until it broke into two pieces as the unknown man gulped in fear, especially after seeing Y/N's red glowing eyes and the utterly blank look the h/c haired boy had on his face right now.

Not wasting any time and using the fact this man froze in his tracks out of fear towards him, Y/N shoved one of the pieces of the pole towards him and the sharper part of it impaled itself right through the man's neck. The man collapsed on the ground, suffocating in his own blood as Y/N shifted his gaze away from him, not paying any attention to him and set his eyes on the last two members of the Liberation Army on their feet.

Upon making sure everyone from the left side of the area he was in right now was defeated, Y/N let out a deep exhale as he thought this fight was over. He found himself to be wrong a second later, though as he managed to hear someone charging towards him. He turned towards the source of this noise and saw the few members of the Liberation Army who weren't knocked out when the three slammed into them charging towards him.

The h/c haired boy shook his head to himself at the view of this group of opponents charging towards him and held his hand out towards them. He closed his eyes, focusing himself heavily on them right now and all of the charging members of the Liberation Army were forced to stop in their tracks a few seconds later, making it impossible for them to reach him. It was when all of them realized red energy was circling around their body as Y/N used it to keep all of them in one place.

Y/N wasn't done with them after this move, though as he knew they would try to attack him as soon they would be released from their red energy prison. He brought his hand upwards, lifting all of them in the air and didn't stop lifting them up until they were a floating a few meters above the ground. The members of the Liberation Army stopped their attempts at trying to free themselves from their red energy prison as soon as they found themselves a few meters above the ground, knowing it would result in them falling to their certain death.

"W-What just happened?" A unknown woman voiced how suprised she was by what just happened. She and her comrades had the Mask defeated, just like they were ordered to, and yet the situation quickly turned against them in the matter of seconds.

"How did he do all of those things!?" A woman floating next to her asked, "He wasn't supposed to be capable of doing some of the things we saw from him in the last few seconds! According to the intel about him we have been given before this fight, he was supposed to be capable of holding only one person in place and wasn't supposed to be able of lifting them up with his Meta Ability in this state!"

One of their friends shook his head as a certain realization hit him like a ton of bricks, "Holy shit! It can't be...!"

"Did his Meta Ability evolved right now!?" Some other unknown man voiced his theory, having realized what must have happened with Y/N at the same time as the man who voiced his suprise. His words were followed by many other suprised reactions from his comrades.

Y/N didn't pay much attention to a single word the members of the Liberation Army that he kept above the ground with his power right now as all of them continued to voice how suprised they were by how badly the tables have turned against them in such a short amount time. Whatever was going to happen in the next few seconds, he knew it would finish his remaining opponents once and for all and he knew the perfect name for this attack, despite having never used it before.

"Bloody rain!" He screamed as loudly as he could right now as he clenched his hands and brought them down. Each person who was unfortunate enough to be held in the air by him popped out like ballons, leaving nothing but bloody remains and a sea of blood out of them. Blood rained down from the above, painting the ground around the h/c haired boy in the red liquid.

Y/N fell on his knees right after, letting out a deep breath as he felt like he needed to take a short break after what he had just done. All the wounds he had substained in the last few minutes played a huge part in him falling to his knees as well. The remains of the fighters from Meta Liberation Army who were unfortunate enough to be caught in his Quirk when it happened covered the ground in front of him in crimson red.

The h/c haired boy bowed his head, coughing out some blood into the ground below him and closed his eyes, whispering to himself, "...I'm not useless."

"Y/N?" A familiar male voice which was filled in concern for him called out for him several seconds later.

Y/N's eyes widened, having immediately recognized this voice as Twice's. He opened his eyes, revealing the red energy was gone which made his e/c eyes visible again and looked over to the source of his voice. He saw Twice and Magne standing in front of him. He didn't saw only one Twice, though. He saw a few Twice's standing in front of him. It didn't took him long to find the real Twice as he saw one Twice carrying a wounded Twice on his back. He knew it had to be the real Twice as he doubted a clone would be able to hold itself together after having both of it's arm broken.

"Twice? Magne...?" He asked, pushing himself out of his silent suprised state as he slowly started to push himself back on his feet.

"Are you alright, sweetheart?" Magne's concerned voice echoed from behind Twice as she spoke up behind him. Y/N looked over to the source of it to set his eyes on her and his eyes widened at the view of Magne holding an unconscious wounded Toga in her arms, "You don't look so good."

"Don't worry about me. I'll be fine." Y/N brushed her concerns off as he wanted to focus on the state Toga was in right now because her state seemed to be way worse than his. He at least wasn't unconscious. Neither Twice or Magne seemed to believe his words as they could see he the pain he was in right because of the state the Liberation Army soldiers put him in, "What about Toga-chan? What did they do to her?"

"Don't worry about her. Toga-chan will be fine. Me and Twice made sure of this." Magne replied as Twice nodded in agreement, reassuring Y/N.

"Alright." Y/N nodded, feeling relieved Toga was given a proper care by Twice and he turned away from them and was about to push himself into walk towards the tower, "Lets head to the tower. I will..." Just as he was about to move towards his destination, his legs gave up on him as the adrenaline he was on had completely wore off at this point. He landed on his fours, letting out a deep painful breath, "Dammit."

"I don't think you will make it there on your own with all those injures, darling." Magne pointed out with a worried look on her face as soon as she saw Y/N land on his fours.

Twice shifted his gaze to one of his clones, "Help Y/N up and help him move around."

"On it!" Twice's clone nodded at him, rushing over to Y/N and helped him up. He wrapped his arm around Y/N, making sure the h/c haired boy will not fall on the ground again as Twice's other clone picked up Y/N's mask from the ground and attached it to his shoulder, "Here you go, bro. Let me help you."

"Thanks." Y/N expressed his gratitude to Twice as he knew he wouldn't be able to stay on his feet without anyone's help right now. He shifted his gaze to the real Twice and smiled at him. Despite having already said those words to one of Twice's clones, he felt like he had to say them again to the real Twice, "See. I told you there will be a day when you will save our butts."

Twice smiled back at him, "Yeah. You did."

"You really need to stop putting yourself at the dangers which leaves you wounded, darling." Magne told him with a concerned look on her face, "First the wound on your stomach from fighting Overhaul and now this. You know it just makes everyone worried, right? Especially Origami-chan."

Y/N nodded at her, looking at her with an apologetic look on his face, "Yeah. I know. I'm sorry."

"Just stop putting yourself in danger so often, alright?" Magne asked as Y/N once again nodded at her. The group began moving forward, "What did you just do, by the way. I've never seen you do something like this."

Twice nodded in agreement, "Me too."

"I don't know to be honest. I just let my actions do the work when I took care of all of them." Y/N gave them an honest answer, feeling like he had take a look into this himself after their fight with the Liberation Army will end, "I'll have to take a look into it later. Especially the new super move that I just discovered. If anyone will try to jump at us, however, I think will be able to knock them away with by red energy. I don't think I have to wait several seconds to form a ball of it anymore."

Magne and Twice nodded at him. The group of villains wasted no time and left the scene, beginning to head towards the tower. They left the scene Y/N had just created behind as focused themselves entirely on their mutual task of reaching the tower. They were unaware someone was watching them from the distance as all of them continued to make their way towards the tower.

The purple haired woman who was fortunate enough to be laying on the ground when Y/N did his second super move was among the few survivors of Y/N's rampage who weren't unconscious right now. She sat up into a kneeling position, putting her butt down on the back of her feet. She rubbed her eyes, trying to make herself certain if she was seeing everything correctly as her obi sashes returned to her body and formed themselves into a pink kimono in the blink of an eye, completely covering her previously almost uncovered body.

She set her attention on Y/N, her differently eyes refusing to leave the h/c haired boy. She didn't felt any negative feelings towards him, though, like many other people would do after witnessing so many of their comrades die in such a short amount of time by his hand. She instead felt admiration. Admiration and amazement. The way how Y/N didn't hold himself back against her and her comrades after his power evolved left her completely in awe.

"Such liberation! He didn't held himself back when he used his evolved Meta Ability against us!" She thought to herself in a mixture of awe and admiration she had just developed for the h/c haired boy as she watched Y/N leave the scene with Twice, Magne, Toga and Twice's clones and head further into the city.

"Minene-san! Minene-san!" A male alarmed voiced filled with concern sounded in her earpierce as the purple haired woman now named Minene pushed herself out of her thoughts regarding what she had just witnessed with Y/N, "Are you there? I and Arasaka-san saw something happen from our position. Did something happened during the fight with the Mask? Do we need to come over there?"

"I'm fine, Takeuchi-kun. You don't need to worry about me or to come to my position." Minene replied, her amazement and admiration not leaving her face as she touched her earpiece and contacted the person on the other side of it, "In fact, I think I just witnessed a real liberation."

Having no idea Minene was having a conversation about him with one of her comrades, Y/N proceeded to make his way towards the tower with Twice, Magne, Twice's clones, an unconscious Toga and Toga's unconscious clone, encountering zero resistance along the way. The h/c haired boy ooked in the direction of the tower and his eyes widened as he saw how it was no longer there. It didn't too him long to figure out how the tower must have been destroyed, leaving no trace out of it. Shigaraki must have arrived at it when he was busy fighting with the purple haired woman and her subordinates and must have used his Quirk to decay it.

His eyes widened even futher as the ground underneath him and the rest began to tremble. It didn't took him long to figure out who was responsible for this. He had more than enough time to learn about what Gigantomachia was doing to his surroundings over the course of the last month and half. The arrival of Gigantomachia was only confirmed to him as he saw Gigantomachia in the distance, charging towards where the tower used to stand.

"The big guy is already here? Isn't he supposed to be still asleep at this point?" Magne asked, watching Gigantomachia rushing towards the tower.

"He was supposed to be still asleep." Y/N nodded in confirmation as he shifted his gaze to Twice clone which was helping him stay on his feet, "Don't get too close to him. Okay?"

Twice's clone nodded at him in understanding, "Aye, aye, captain!"

"At least he's drawing the Liberation Army away from us." Some other Twice's clone said, holding Toga's clone in his arms.

"It's too one sided." Twice stated.

Y/N nodded in agreement, "Yeah. You're right, Twice. We need to regroup with everyone while we have the chance."

"Good thing we're heading towards the tower or rather where the tower was, then." Magne stated, "Everyone from the League is heading towards it. The possibility of one of us coming across someone close to it is..."

Her words died in his throat as two familiar figures to her and the rest passed the corner and walked right into their view. Those two figures were Rappa and Tengai. Both of them weren't wearing their masks and looked after a rough fight, especially Tengai but they would recognize them anywhere. Rappa and Tengai noticed them as well as they stopped in their tracks and waited until they would catch up to them.

Magne smiled slightly at them, "Guys! You have no idea how good it is to see you!"

Tengai closed his eyes, bowing his head, "I can say the feeling is mutual, Magne."

"What happened to both of you?" Y/N asked in worry as he shfited his gaze between Magne and Tengai, "You two look like something happened between you stumbled upon us."

"We got ourselves into a fight and I killed one of the top boxers in the country." Rappa gave him a shortened version of the events with pride evident in his voice and on his voice, "I got finally got the fight that you promised me."

"While I appreciate the concern, Master Y/N..." Tengai began.

Y/N raised his brow in confusion, "Master Y/N?"

"...I feel like I need to ask you the same thing. What happened to all of you? Most of you look don't look so good." Tengai finished what he wanted to say and he shifted his gaze between everyone and laid his eyes on Toga, "Is Toga unconscious? What happened to her?"

"Don't worry about her. She'll be fine. Me and Twice gave her the medical attentions she needed." Magne reassured him.

Tengai nodded at her in understanding, "Oh, I see. Good."

"What the hell happened to you?" Rappa asked as he set his eyes on Y/N, "You didn't look so bad after your first fight with me and after your fight with Overjerk."

"I got myself into fight with some of them." Y/N  responded, not wanting to go into full details about this.

"You should have seen the scene Y/N left behind!" Twice added, "He kicked their asses!"

Rappa nodded in understanding, giving Y/N a proud smile upon hearing Twice's words as he turned away from them and pushed himself into walk, "Alright. Let's go to the tower. I'll be on front and take of the Liberation Army if they will try to attack us."

"I don't think they will attack us, sweetheart as all of them are probably too focused on Gigantomachia right now." Magne pointed out as she pushed herself into walk and followed Rappa. The rest of the group wasted no time and followed the brawler as well, "Better safe than sorry, though. There is still possibility of someone attacking us."

"If anyone will try to attack us, then I'll create shields around everyone except for Rappa and keep them on until Rappa will take care of them." Tengai said.

"Shields?" Y/N raised his brow at his choice of words, "I thought you can create only one shield."

Tengai smiled slightly at him, "Let's just say that's not the case anymore."

Y/N looked at him questioningly, feeling like he will have to a conversation with Tengai once this fight will be over as the group of villains wasted no time and continued to make their way towards the tower, encountering zero resistance along the way. The group of villains turned a corner and didn't go any further as they simply couldn't go any further. As Rappa who remained in the front of the group stepped ahead, he nearly plummeted directly down into the crater that had formed, managing to catch his balance at the last second.

"Holy fucking shit..." Rappa muttered under his breath as soon as he regained his balance and stopped himself from falling down the crater, staring in the the crater below him with a suprised look on his face, "Guys. You need to see this..."

"What do you mean..." Tengai words died in his throat as he stopped next to Rappa and felt how his eyes snapped open in suprise when he saw the scenery in front of them, "Oh my..."

Y/N, Magne and Twice followed their example and as they stopped next to the former yakuza members looked ahead of them, allowing themselves to take a good look at the scenery they had just stumbled upon. Further following the example of Rappa and Tengai, all three of them felt how their eyes widened in shock at the scenery they had just laid their eyes on as they weren't expecting to none of the expected to see something like this.

What they saw was a pure unfiltered destruction. The crater in front of them was massive and was something none of them have ever seen in their lives from this close. If they didn't know any better, then they would have thought someone had dropped a bomb into the part of Deika City where this crater was located. It simply looked like something an atomic bomb or even one of the more powerful bombs would do if it was dropped here.

There was one man standing in the center of the crater and it didn't took them long to recognize him as Shigaraki. Shigaraki looked slightly different from the Shigaraki they all come to known over the course of the last few months, though. His hair wasn't blue anymore and was now white. The now white haired young man was sitting on the ground, collecting himself with a look of pure calmless on his face. Whatever had just happened, Shigaraki looked like it had just completed him.

Y/N shifted his gaze away from Shigaraki and looked around himself, seeing how everyone from Deika City was gathering around the crater and taking a look at the destruction themselves. The person who stood out the most was the Gigantomachia. The enormous individual stood on the edge of the crater, only one step away from making him fall down in the crater and had a look of pure shock on his face. He looked as if his mind was processing what had just happened.

He wasn't the only familiar individual noticed among the crowd that had formed around the crater. It wasn't long before his eyes caught the sight of Origami, Dabi, Mr. Compress and Mustard as well. The said members of the League of Villains were standing among the crowd of the shocked members of the Liberation Army, looking equally as shocked and suprised as everyone were else. Giran was standing next to him, being kept on his feet by one of Twice's clones.

His eyes quickly caught the sight of the state Origami was in right now and he felt a quick wave of worry and concern go through his body. His attention was shifted away from Origami a second later as a familiar van drove into his view, followed by dozens of his followers. Just like before Hanabata stood on top of it and Y/N couldn't see his expression right now because of his mask covering it. He didn't have to think think long to figure out the look Hanabata had on his face right now.

Spinner was crouching down next to Hanabata's van, having grabbed into it and used his Quirk to hold into it after Hanabata started to make his way to this scene. The look of Spinner face was the one of suprise and shock. It didn't remain this long for long, though as those feelings quickly faded away from his face and were immediately replaced with a feeling od admiration he felt towards his leader right now.

A tall lanky man with a long black hair stepped out of the crowd of the stunned Liberation Army members right, looking down into the crater in front of him as a young white haired man in a battered blue parka stopped next to him, looking like he was doing everything in his power to keep himself on his feet. Y/N couldn't blame him for struggling to keep himself on his sleep, considering the state he was in right now. He wondered who put him in such a state.

The look on this young man's face didn't mirror the expressions everyone had on their faces right now. The look he had on his face showed a mixture of horror and denial. If Y/N was honest with himself, this young man seemed like he was about to break into tears. He shifted his gaze away from him as a blue skinned woman with a massive bruise on her right cheeks approached him from behind and stopped next to him. Her expression mirrored the shocked expressions of most of them when she looked down into the crater.

"Hey. Is it just me or something moved in the dust?" Magne said as Y/N shifted his gaze back to the crater and looked into it, wanting to know if Magne was right or if her eyes were playing a trick on her.

She was right. Something had indeed moved in the dust. It was when an eldery-looking man with with a prominently long, pointed nose and obtruding chin, as well as short, orange-brownish hair. His feet seemed to me missing as well. Y/N didn't have to think to long to figure out who this man was. He knew there was only one reason why this man was in the crater with Shigaraki right now. It must have been Re-Destro. From the whispers of his comrades, they must have come to the same conclusion.

Shigaraki set his eyes on Re-Destro and got himself on his feet, beginning to make his way to the older man, "...Remind me. What started this whole battle?"

"Tomura-kun." Y/N muttered under his breath as soon as Shigaraki uttered his first words. There was something new about Shigaraki's voice. The rasp from his voice was gone. He sounded like a normal young man right now. The h/c haired boy didn't know but it made a smile slowly form on his face.

Shigaraki stopped in front of Re-Destro and pointed at him, his arm slightly shaking, "Oh, yeah. It was because you picked a fight with us."

"Everyone! You must save the Sumpreme Leader at once!" Hanabata ordered his troops as the members of the Liberation Army prepared themselves to rush down towards Shigaraki. All of them stopped in their tracks a second later as Shigaraki glared at them.

"Trumpet, cease fire..." Re-Destro spoke up, sounding absolutely exhausted as he formed the Meta Liberation Army salute above his head, "No more. Any further fighting would be... Unnecessary."

"Re-Destro..." Hanabata muttered under his breath in horror, taking off his mask to reveal the look of horror he had on his face right now.

"This army agrees with my-no, with Destro's principles, they are prepared to become martyrs for the cause. It is as you said, I picked a fight and you prevailed." Re-Destro admitted, gazing to the ground below him with a defeated look on his face, "Kill me if you like. I'm ready to sacrifice myself for Destro's dying wish."

"What's happening right now?" Twice asked himself in confusion as Y/N remained silent, watching everything with a growing smile on his face as something on the back of his head was telling him where this was going. Shigaraki himself seemed put-off by what was happening right now, standing in front of Re-Destro awkwardly as he listened to everything he had to say to him.

Re-Destro got himself into a praying position in front of Shigaraki, bowing his head to him as he continued, "...The Meta Liberation Army is yours to command."

"What? Did I hear that right?" Tengai asked with a suprised look on his face, showing the biggest amount of the emotion the League saw him show since he and Rappa joined them. He looked at Rappa and saw his fellow former member of the yakuza watching everything in suprise. There was something else he saw on his face, though. It was respect.

Mustard watched everything from where he stood with Dabi, Mr. Compress and Origami with his eyes wide and suprise written over his face, "Holy shit."

"Holy shit indeed." For first time Dabi openly agreed with Mustard on something.

"Wow..." Origami muttered to herself, stunned by what she was seeing right now.

Magne allowed herself to smile at the view of her leader coming out victorious below her, "That's our leader, darlings."

A lone tear fell down from Gigantomachia's right eye as he watched everything from where he stood, "Successor..."

Y/N felt his smile growing wider, his eyes not leaving what was in the crater in front of him as the emotions of his face showed his comrades how rejoiced he was by the view in front of him. He felt his smile grow wider and wider with each passing second as he felt pride going through his body right now. He felt proud of their victory over the Meta Liberation Army. Proud of the man he had choose to follow. Proud of his friend.

Shigaraki silently stared at Re-Destro, not saying anything about him. He broke his silence a few seconds later, recalling a certain interaction between him and the League as he smiled slightly at his defeated opponent, "Since you're the CEO of Detnerat, you have money, right?"

Yeah. I certainly did the right choice by splitting up LOV vs MLA fight into two chapters because if I didn't, then the chapter would end up having over 50, 000 words...

Aaand we're done! The fight between the League and the MLA in Deika City. You guys have no idea for how long I was waiting to write this part of the story as it has some of the moments I've been looking forward to writing for a long time (like the Quirk awakenings of Y/N, Origami, Mustard, Magne and Tengai or the backstories of Mustard and Magne). As much as I was looking forward to writing this part of the story, it turned out to be just as exhausting to write as I thought it would be. The next chapter will show the aftermath of the fight and the formation of Paranormal Liberation Front.

The new Helluva Boss episode came out and I can say I liked it. I loved how we finally got some stuff related with Millie. I'm also glad we got to finally see Barbie Wire as I've been wanting to for the episode with her since I saw her in the sneak peaks for the summer episodes. The fact that his relationship with Barbie is the first time we've seen Blitzo want to fix/maintain a positive relationship with someone from his past and Barbie adamantly cutting him out of her life and wanting nothing to do with him is all so. Plus, Barbie having an access to the living world and having a human disguise gave me an idea for a Barbie x Human OC story.

The TF2 summer update came out and I've been having fun with it. The news maps are fun and the cosmetics and war paints and taunts are nice (I even ended up buying the Killer Joke taunt for myself). Just a shame I didn't got a chance to try out the Saxtone Hale mode as the update came out when it was night in my country and when I woke up the maps for it were already gone. Just wish we got more community fixes in this update. I think we can all agree that the seal is the best thing to come out of this update, though.

Watched all of the episodes of Skibidi Toilet on Youtube and I was left confused and intrigued by this series...

Also, a friend of @StolasKnights once again made an art with his own interpretation of Y/N's looks. This time he did his own interpretation of how Y/N would look like if he had a demonic version (If only he knew how right he was about the glowing red eyes part)
