"What's going on?" Midnight asked as all the available teachers were called to the teachers lounge.

"What happened to Hideyoshi?" Present Mic questioned as he looked at his student that he had seen not even twenty minutes ago. She didn't appear to be in the best condition as she laid on one of the couches in the room. She was sweating profusely and looked to be as pale as a sheet of paper, and she was panting as though she was having a hard time breathing.

"She's burning up!" Midnight exclaimed, flinching back after she had tried to check the young girl's temperature.

"Yes, it appears her body had an unpleasant reaction after she sensed a large amount of animosity." Nezu began explaining. "She managed to make it all the way here to warn me before she finally collapsed."

"Warn you?" Cementoss questioned.

"It appears the USJ is under attack by villains..."

****

"Yo! Eraser Head!" Shirokage called in greeting as she jump kicked a villain that was attempting to sneak up on the hero. "How's it going?!"

"Terrible now that you're here." He replied dryly as he used his bandage like scarf to knock two villains into each other.

"Gasp, you wound me with your cruel words!" She placed her hand up to her heart dramatically as if she was actually hurt. "And here I actually came to help you!"

"Does it look like I need your help?"

"Um," Shirokage paused and looked at him with a bit of a sweat drop. "Kind of, yeah."

"... Whatever," Eraser Head finally replied not wanting to admit that he was beginning to tire out. "Just don't get in my way."

"Aye, aye, sir!" She gave him a mock salute as she knocked out another villain with a roundhouse kick. "Though it's kind of disappointing. These villains are pretty weak. Maybe I should go and annoy Shigaraki! Yeah, that would probably make things more interesting!"

She looked towards the direction she had last seen him only to see the Nomu standing there, without Shigaraki.

"Awww, that's no fun," She pouted. "Where'd he go?"

She looked around only to find the man child running towards Eraser Head

"The final boss!" Eraser Head muttered as Shigaraki was counting down, both running towards each other prepared to attack. Eraser Head got the first strike in as he tried to elbow the man child in the chest only for it to be caught. And, unfortunately, Eraser Head's quirk ran out at the same time.

"It's hard to see because you keep moving around," Shigaraki murmured low enough to where only Eraser Head and Shirokage could hear him. "But there's an instant when your hair falls. That's when you've finished an action. And the space in between has gotten shorter and shorter. Don't push yourself, Eraser Head."

Shirokage grit her teeth and ran towards the pair as she saw Shigaraki begin to use his quirk on the hero.

"Shirokage..." She started as she jumped up in the air. "Kiiiick!"

Both of her feet planted into Shigaraki's side as she fell causing him to finally let go. At the very same moment, other villains came running, trying to attack now that the hero had been injured, effectively surrounding him.

"Shirokage..." Shigaraki muttered as he began to scratch at his neck. "I never expected such an annoying fly to show up. No matter, Eraser Head's quirk isn't suited for fighting long fights against a large group is it? Isn't this too different from both of your guys' usual job? You both excel in short fights after a surprise attack, right?"

"Oh, um, actually, I'm pretty good in any type of fight," Shirokage raised her hand slightly as if in class in a casual manner. "I just never really fight other than at night when the darkness gives me cover. I mean, as a shadow, it's natural to blend in. Get it? I'm a shadow because my name has 'kage' in it. Oh right, I forgot, you guys don't like puns! Geez, what spoil sports!"

The two just sort of paused and stared at her in mild irritation as she blinked innocently.

"Did I say something wrong?" She tilted her head.

"You..." Shigaraki's eye was twitching. "You're just as bad as that Hideyoshi girl!"

"Hideyoshi girl?" Shirokage questioned while tapping her chin. "Never heard of her! But if she likes puns then maybe I should try and find her!"

Eraser Head only grit his teeth at the recognition of Hideyoshi's name before having to dodge another attack from one of the underlings. He quickly wrapped him up in his bandages before knocking out the other ones.

"After this, I may have to go kill her myself." Shigaraki scratched more at his neck. "Especially after going missing like that!"

"Ehhhh? Now I'm curious about what this girl did to piss you off so much!" Shirokage exclaimed.

"The brat threw a lamp at me telling me to lighten up! And that's not even the worst of it!" Silence. Complete and utter silence before a small laughter began to ring out.

"Oh my gosh!" Shirokage fell on the ground laughing as she rolled around to avoid getting injured by surrounding villains. "That... That's brilliant...! Now I really have to meet this girl!"

"I'll kill you both..." Shigaraki seemed a bit ticked off now.

"Neither one of you are going near Hideyoshi..." Eraser Head told the two as he was about to start fighting the man child again.

"How cool...!" Shigaraki seemed to put off the topic of puns and looked towards Eraser Head again. "You're so cool...! By the way, hero..." Both Eraser Head and Shirokage looked in surprise at the Nomu that had appeared behind the hero. "... I'm not the last boss."

Shirokage barely had any time to react as the creature raised it's hand and swatted Eraser Head down like a fly.

"Eraser Head!" Shirokage finally called out as she ran over to assist him. This time, however, she seemed utterly pissed. "Get the hell away from him!"

The onlookers that included Midoriya, Asui, and Mineta looked on in horror as Shirokage's eyes began to glow a bright red underneath her mask and a white fire began to surround her.

She swept her arm up with the fire following her movements as it was shot towards the Nomu at an indescribable speed. While the fire failed in harming the Nomu, it managed to push him back, away from the bleeding teacher. Shirokage was quick to react as she lifted a glowing leg and kicked the creature. Multiple eyes widened as she succeeded in blowing off the Nomu's arm. However, the arm merely regenerated seconds after being blown off.

At this point in time, Shigaraki was beginning to throw a tantrum.

"Impossible..." He started muttering while scratching his neck. "Nomu is unbeatable... Shadows are cheaters... They need to be destroyed..."

"Shigaraki Tomura." The warp gate had appeared beside the man child while Shirokage had knelt beside Eraser Head, checking his condition. Without anyone noticing, Shirokage covered her own gloved hand in her fire before hovering it over the injured man's body. Somehow, some of the hero's injuries slowly began to heal. Luckily, the Nomu had ceased attacking as it tried to put out the neverending fire Shirokage had placed on it.

"Kurogiri," Shigaraki calmed himself. "Did you kill Thirteen?"

"I put Thirteen out of action," Kurogiri confirmed causing Shirokage to grit her teeth. "But there were students that I was unable to disperse, and one of them was able to run away."

"Huh?" Shigaraki didn't seem pleased and started to breathe more heavily as he trembled. "Kurogiri, you... If you weren't a warp gate, I would've crushed you to pieces! We can't win against dozens of pros. It's game over. Man, it's game over this time. Let's go home."

Shirokage narrowed her eyes at the sudden declaration. There was no way that they would leave like that. After they went through this much trouble, the idea seemed inconceivable. She already knew that the Nomu wouldn't stand a chance against All Might. If she could blow off an arm, All Might would most definitely be able to blow it away.

"Oh, yeah," Shigaraki seemed to come to a realization. "Before we leave, let's smash some of his pride as the Symbol of Peace!"

Shirokage's eyes widened as Shigaraki ran towards the three students in the water at an indescribable speed reaching his hand out towards the frog like girl. She sighed in relief when she saw that his quirk wasn't working before looking down at the man who had caused it.

"Damn it," Shigaraki cursed. "You really are cool... Eraser Head."

The hero grimaced at the pain he was feeling but still did his best to keep up his quirk. At the same time, Midoriya had jumped up, ready to punch Shigaraki away from Asui.

"Let go of her!" He yelled pulling his fist back. "Smash...!"

A whirlwind of air seemed to appear after he had thrown his punch at the man child causing Shirokage's eyes to widen.

"That quirk..." She muttered gaining Eraser Head's attention.

To be honest with himself, Eraser Head wasn't sure what to think of Shirokage at this point, and he was suspicious of what exactly her quirk was. Originally, he thought it to be a simple fire quirk, but the way she had blown off the Nomu's arm and began healing him proved the theory to be flawed.

"Tch!" Shirokage clicked her tongue as she realized the Nomu had taken Midoriya's punch for Shigaraki. "That kid's going to get himself killed..."

She stood up, ready to jump in and save him as the Nomu had grabbed Midoriya's arm and lifted him in the air, but she paused as another explosion sounded at the entrance causing the doors to blow back and a cloud of smoke to appear.

"Wait..." Shirokage blinked in confusion as everybody turned their attention to the new arrival. "Didn't I already destroy those doors?"

Out from the smoke walked the number one hero who, for once, did not have his usual grin on his face. No, he looked absolutely furious.

"It's fine now!" The hero let out lowly. "I am here!"

"All Might!" Mineta cried, quite literally, in relief

"All... Might..."

"About time," Shirokage muttered in relief. "I almost had to use more of my power... That would have been troublesome..."

"Oh, we're getting a 'Continue'..." Shigaraki now seemed quite pleased as he stared at the angry hero. "I've been waiting, hero. You trash of society."

The other villains, or underlings as Shirokage likes to call them, stopped and looked hesitantly as they saw the number one hero. They didn't seem to know what to do as they began to murmur to each other.

"That's All Might...?"

"It's my first time seeing him in person!"

"He looks so intimidating..."

"Idiots, don't hesitate!" One of the underlings finally yelled. "If we kill that, we'll--"

The man was cut off as he was suddenly knocked down in a flash along with the others before the hero appeared in front of Eraser Head and Shirokage, who had resumed her healing process.

"I'll take it from here," All Might muttered as he picked up the once again unconscious hero. "Sorry, Aizawa-kun."

Within the next couple of seconds, he had flashed over to the students and picked them up as well, simultaneously striking Shigaraki.

"Huh? Huh?!" The students seemed confused as they were set down. "What?"

"Everyone, go to the entrance." All Might told the three. "I'm leaving Aizawa-kun to you. He's unconscious. Hurry!"

"Y-Yes, sir!"

"It's no good... It's no good..." Shigaraki began freaking out as he gripped his face where he had lost the weird hand accessory. "It's no good... I-I'm sorry, otou-san..."

He had finally calmed down a little bit after he had found the hand accessory and placed it on his face again. Shirokage was actually wondering how it stayed on his face just like that.

"He hit me as he was saving them." Shigaraki murmured. "It's the violence of a government official. He's fast, as expected. I can't follow him with my eyes. But not as fast as I thought he'd be. I guess it's true, after all... that he's getting weaker."

The grin on his face was quite apparent after he had fully calmed down. Meanwhile, Shirokage was frowning at the last words Shigaraki had spoken. It explained a lot, but it wasn't a good thing if what he said was true.

"All Might, you can't." Midoriya looked at the hero with a concerned look. "That brain villain took One fo-- He took a punch that didn't break my arm, but he didn't even twitch. He's gotta be--"

"Young Midoriya!" All Might cut him off. "It's fine!"

After the reassurance, the three, as well as Eraser Head who was on Midoriya's back, finally turned away and began to head towards the entrance. At the same time, All Might sprinted towards Shigaraki.

"Carolina..."

"Nomu."

"...Smash!" All Might frowned as he had hit the Nomu instead, but it hadn't taken any damage. "It seriously has no effect at all, huh?! In that case--"

The two began exchanging blows while Shirokage began running towards Shigaraki, hoping to distract him.

"Hey, Shigaraki!" The vigilante called out as she reached the area where the other three were. "Why did the octopus beat the shark in a fight? Because it was well armed!"

Shigaraki was ticked off in less than a second.

"I'll kill all of you..." He grumbled in irritation before attempting to turn back to the fight between All Might and the Nomu seeing as Shirokage wasn't attacking. However, the vigilante pouted at the lack of attention her joke received. "It doesn't work because of shock absorption. In order to cause damage to Nomu, it would be most effective to slowly gouge out his flesh. Whether he'd let you do that or not is a different issue, though."

"I think you're forgetting the moment where I blew off his arm with ease..." Shirokage dead panned.

"Thanks for telling me that!" All Might had grabbed the Nomu from behind. "If that's true, then it's easier for me."

The man bent backwards as he threw the Nomu into the ground headfirst causing a cloud of smoke to appear around them.

"Oi, oi..." Shigaraki muttered as Shirokage frowned. There's no way it would be that easy. If things got worse, she may have to intervene.

Her eyes widened as she saw that Kurogiri had managed to save the Nomu from any damage.

"Is..." All Might started as the Nomu grabbed onto him. "Is that how it is?"

The Nomu began to draw blood as Shirokage began to head over, but Shigaraki got in her way. Normally, she'd be able to get by him easily, but attempting to heal Eraser Head had drained her profusely.

"Were you trying to keep him from moving by sticking him deep in the concrete?" Shigaraki questioned as though it was an incredulous idea. "You won't be able to stop him like that. Because Nomu is as strong as you are. This is good, Kurogiri. It's an unexpected opportunity."

All Might had let go of the Nomu's waist as he instead tried to pry it's hands off of his own.

"This is your first offense?" All Might grit his teeth. "You'd better prepare yourselves..."

Shirokage wanted to go and help, but she knew that she couldn't rush in recklessly. While All Might was the number one hero and she was the number one vigilante, they couldn't afford to underestimate these three villains.

"Kurogiri," Shigaraki gained the warp portal's attention.

"I do not want blood and guts overflowing within me," Kurogiri noted. "But I would be happy to take in someone as great as you. You are too fast to see with the human eye. Restraining you was Nomu's job. And then, when your body is halfway in, to close the gate... And tear you apart is my job."

"Ah..." Shirokage sweat dropped. "They're actually explaining there plan..."

"All Might!" The vigilante's eyes widened as she saw the green haired kid running towards All Might. However, his path was blocked by Kurogiri.

"Oi!" Shirokage yelled as she sprinted and grabbed the kid just before he made contact with the warp gate. At the same time, a hot headed blonde attacked the purple blob.

"Move! You're in the way, Deku!" He yelled as he grabbed the metal piece that was the warp gate's weak point. "Take that!"

Shirokage looked on in surprise as another kid with red and white hair used his quirk to begin freezing Nomu.

"Young Todoroki!" All Might exclaimed in surprise.

"All I heard was that you all are here to kill All Might." The newly dubbed Todoroki stated calmly as he stared at the scene before him. Thanks to his actions, All Might finally gained the chance to get out of the Nomu's grip.

"Um," The green haired boy that was still in Shirokage's arms gained her attention. "C-could you put m-me down now?"

"Hmm?" The vigilante looked down at him causing him to silently freak out. "Oh, yeah. Sorry about that."

"All Might," The two watched as All Might got out of the Nomu's grip with Midoriya looking with unshed tears in his eyes.

Meanwhile, a red headed boy attacked known as Kirishima attacked Shigaraki while he was distracted but he still managed to dodge easily.

"Damn it, I didn't get to show off!" Yes, that was the red head's problem.

"Stop acting so stuck-up, foggy nobody!" The blonde haired boy, known as Bakugo, grinned as he held down Kurogiri.

"The Symbol of Peace cannot be killed by the likes of you." Todoroki told the villains in his usual calm manner.

"Kacchan! Everyone!" Midoriya was surprised and wiped the tears out of his eyes.

"Kurogiri, our exit and entrance, has been overcome." Shigaraki noted in a surprisingly calm voice. "We're in a pinch."

"You careless bastard. You're just what I thought you'd be." Bakugo grinned almost arrogantly. "Only certain parts of you can turn into a misty warp gate. The fog gate covered your actual body, right? Back then... If you were completely made of mist and physical attacks couldn't touch you, then you wouldn't have said 'that was close.'"

Bakugo let a couple explosions come out of his hands as Kurogiri looked like he was going to move.

"Don't move!" He yelled. "If I feel like you're moving suspiciously, then I'll blow you up."

"Oi, kid!" Shirokage called out getting the students attention. "Try not to get so cocky in the middle of a fight! Only idiots underestimate their opponents..."

The young hero in training only sent a glare towards the vigilante as he was scolded.

"I don't need to hear something like that from a worthless vigilante!" He snarled.

"In addition to capturing them, they're almost all uninjured." Shigaraki began speaking again. "Kids these days are amazing. They make the League of Villains look bad. Nomu."

The creature suddenly pulled itself through the warp gate as its frozen arm and leg broke off leaving the students with wide eyes.

"Even though his body's broken... He's still moving?" Midoriya questioned.

"You see what I mean?" Shirokage grit her teeth as she readied her white fire in her palms.

"Get back, everyone!" All Might warned his students as the Nomu's arm and leg began to regenerate. "What? His quirk wasn't shock absorption?"

"I didn't say that was all he had." Shigaraki sounded quite smug.

"Nomu's have multiple quirks. While shock absorption is one of its quirks, it also has the quirk of regeneration." Shirokage informed them as she remembered how the Nomu's arm regenerated after she blew it off.

"Nomu has been modified to take you at 100%." Shigaraki told the hero. "He's a super-efficient human sandbag."

Midoriya and Todoroki began to get into a fighting position as they stared at the now freed Nomu.

"First, we need to get our gate back. Go, Nomu." Shigaraki ordered causing the creature to shoot towards Bakugo.

Kirishima, Midoriya, and Todoroki were almost blown back, but Shirokage managed to grab all of them before they went too far.

"K-Kacchan!" Midoriya shouted as he stared at the cloud of smoke before he noticed the blonde beside them. "Kacchan?! You dodged? That's amazing!"

"He didn't dodge, kid." Shirokage sighed at the green haired boy as she shook her head in exasperation.

"Shut up, scum!" Bakugo told Midoriya as he stared in surprise from where he sat on the ground.

"Then how...?" Kirishima asked the vigilante.

"Why don't you look for yourself?" She gestured towards where the cloud of smoke was beginning to blow away.

"Then that was..."

"All Might!" Midoriya exclaimed as the cloud of smoke cleared to reveal a worn out All Might.

"Do you not know how to hold back?" Blood was dripping out of the hero's mouth and his arms were most definitely injured.

"It was to rescue my companions." Shigaraki drawled out. "I had no choice. I mean, earlier, that... that plain looking one. He was about to punch me with everything he had, you know. Violence for the sake of others makes it admirable. Isn't that right, hero? You know what, All Might? I'm angry. I'm angry at this world that categorizes the same violent acts as heroic or villainous, deciding what's good and what's bad. 'Symbol of Peace'? Ha. You're just a device to repress violence. Violence only breeds violence. The world will know this once we kill you!"

"That's preposterous." All Might frowned. "The eyes of white-collar criminals like you burn silently. You just want to enjoy this yourself, don't you, you liar?"

"So, he's figured him out, huh?" Shirokage muttered gaining a few glances from the students around her.

"It's three against five." Todoroki noted.

"Um, excuse me?" Shirokage looked at him. "There are six of us!"

"You don't count."

"I feel as though I should be offended..." She pouted at the rudeness she had been receiving.

"Kacchan already exposed the fog's weakness!" Midoriya had ignored the vigilante's complaints.

"These guys are crazy but if we back up All Might, we can push them back!" Kirishima readied his quirk.

"No!" All Might refused. "Run away. Shirokage, make sure they get out safely."

"You would've been in trouble if I hadn't done anything earlier, right?" Todoroki noted while Shirokage had merely nodded at All Might's request. She wanted to make sure all the students got out safely as well.

"That was a different story, Young Todoroki. Thanks." All Might told him. "But it's fine! Just watch as a pro gives it everything he's got."

"All Might, you're bleeding..." Midoriya looked at the hero with a concerned look. "Besides, time's--"

Nobody else seemed to notice his words, but Shirokage gave him a suspicious glance.

"Nomu, Kurogiri. Get him." Shigaraki ordered. "I'll deal with the children and the shadow. Now, let's clear this and go home."

"Oi, we've gotta do this after all!" Kirishima began to get in a fighting position as Shigaraki ran towards the five.

However, Shigaraki was blown away as All Might and the Nomu began exchanging blows.

"A head-on fist fight?!" Midoriya exclaimed as he tried to avoid getting blown away.

"Wow!" Kirishima stared in amazement at the power of the blast.

"I-I can't get near them!" Kurogiri exclaimed.

The only one that was still standing as though there were no powerful winds at all was Shirokage. She just stood there watching with her hands in her hoodie pockets.

All Might and Nomu continued throwing blows at each other, and it appeared as though All Might was winning. He was using more than 100% of his power.

"Hey villain, have you ever heard these words?" All Might looked at the Nomu. "Go beyond! Plus... Ultra...!"

Everybody stared in amazement as the Nomu was sent flying through the roof of the building.

"Is this a comic book of something?" Kirishima questioned incredulously. "It's like he nullified the shock absorption. His brute strength is crazy."

"What insane power..." Bakugo noted. "Does this mean he rushed at him so fast he couldn't regenerate?"

"I really have gotten weaker," All Might said as his figure was shown through the smoke. "In my prime, five hits would've been enough. But it took more than 300 hits. Now, villains... I'm sure we'd all like to end this as soon as possible."

"Weaker? No way." Shigaraki began to tremble in rage. "We've been completely overwhelmed. I can't believe he did that to my Nomu... Did he use a cheat?! What's going on...? He's not any weaker at all. Did that guy lie to me?!"

"What's wrong?" All Might questioned. "You're not coming? You said you'd 'clear' this or something, right? Come and get me if you can."

"All Might..."

"As expected, it looks like there is no need for us to fight."

"Midoriya!" Kirishima called out to his friend. "We should get out of here now! It'll be worse if we end up getting taken hostage instead!"

When Midoriya didn't answer, Shirokage glanced over and noticed the concerned look on his face.

"Don't worry kid," Shirokage whispered in the boy's ear causing him to jump in fright. "If he really is bluffing, I'll make sure he doesn't get himself killed."

"You..." Midoriya looked at her with wide eyes.

"Well? What's wrong?!" All Might continued his bluffing.

"If only I had Nomu..." Shigaraki complained as he started scratching himself once again. "That guy would've been able to go up against him without thinking about anything!"

"Shigaraki Tomura!" Kurogiri tried to calm him down. "Please calm yourself. Looking carefully, I see that he was definitely weakened from the damage of Nomu's attacks. Besides the children appear to be frozen in fear. We still have underlings who can be used. There are likely only a few minutes left before reinforcements come. If you and I work together, we still have a chance of killing him."

"Yeah... Yeah, yeah..." Shigaraki finally began to calm down. "That's right... That's right... We have no choice but to do it. I mean, we have the last boss right in front of our eyes."

Shirokage was beginning to feel like chopped liver...

"All Might will do something about the main bad guys." Kirishima spoke as villains who had previously been knocked out began to get up and surround then. "Let's go help the others!"

"Midoriya?" Todoroki questioned as he saw the green haired boy still staring at All Might.

"This is revenge for Nomu!" Shigaraki exclaimed as he as well as Kurogiri ran towards All Might.

Before Shirokage could stop him, Midoriya had already leapt towards the fight to protect All Might.

"Oi, kid!" Shirokage called out in concern as she prepared to go after him.

"Get away from All Might!" Midoriya yelled as he readied a punch towards Kurogiri, but at the same time Shigaraki reached a hand towards the boy through the warp gate.

"I won't fall for that again!" Kurogiri proclaimed.

Just as Shigaraki was about to use his quirk on Midoriya, a shot rang out and hit his hand. And fortunately, Shirokage managed to catch the green haired boy before he went tumbling to the ground.

"Geez, you really are reckless." She scolded the boy as she narrowed her eyes at his now broken legs.

"Are they here?" All Might looked towards the entrance only for them all to see multiple teachers who had finally arrived.

"Sorry, everyone!" The principal called out. "Sorry we're late! I gathered all who were immediately available."

"I, Tenya Iida, class 1-A representative, have now returned!" A young man with glasses declared as he stood with the heroes.

The underlings began to make their way towards the heroes but all their efforts were fruitless as they were knocked out one by one. Shirokage herself was quite displeased when Present Mic began using his quirk.

"That man is way too loud for my sensitive ears..." She muttered with a slight wince gaining a curious look from the boy in her arms.

"Aw man, they're here." Shigaraki complained as he took a couple of steps back. "It's game over now. Shall we go home and try again later, Kurogir-?"

Shigaraki was interrupted as he was shot at once again before he was covered by Kurogiri, but the warp gate was beginning to get pulled in by Thirteen.

"I may have failed this time, but I will kill you next time... Symbol of Peace, All Might!" Shigaraki threatened as they finally managed to warp away.

"Hah! Good luck with that, ya' man child!" Shirokage called out causing everyone to dead pan around her.

"I wasn't... Able to do anything..." Midoriya clenched his hands and grit his teeth as he looked down.

"That's not true." All Might reassured him causing him to look up again. "If it weren't for those few seconds you bought me, I would've been killed. You saved me again."

"All Might..."

Tears began to gather in Midoriya's eyes as All Might gave him a smile.

"I'm... So glad you're okay...!"

"Um, as touching as this is and everything, you were still unnecessarily reckless!" Shirokage began scolding Midoriya, who was still in her arms. Both All Might and Midoriya looked at her in surprise as though they forgot she was there. "Seriously though! I told you that I would handle it if things turned bad! I swear, both of you are going to get yourselves killed one day with recklessness like that!"

The two sweat dropped as she continued her scolding. At this moment, she didn't seem like somebody who was actually the number one vigilante. She acted more like a nagging mother than anything else.

"Midoriya!" They three turned to see Kirishima running right towards them.

"Oh, Kirishima..." Midoriya noticed.

"Are you all right?!" The red head called out seeing that the boy was still in the vigilante's arms.

"K-Kirishima, wai--!" Midoriya began to call out as both him and All Might freaked out about All Might's current state. Luckily, Cementoss erected a wall dividing them before Kirishima could find out.

"We want to make sure that all the students are safe, so please gather in front of the gate." Cementoss explained. "We will deal with the injured here."

"That makes sense! Roger that!" Kirishima grinned as he ran off.

"Haha!" All Might and Midoriya stiffened as they heard Shirokage give a light laugh, just now realizing that she had seen All Might's true form. "The students here are so earnest! That's a quality I've missed seeing in people! But I guess I should probably take my leave now."

The vigilante gave an unnoticeable pout as she gently laid the green haired boy on the ground near All Might.

"Try not to be so reckless, okay?" She told Midoriya before turning to All Might. "And don't worry, I'll keep your secret. I understand what kind of situation you're in, so don't go overdoing it now."

And with that, she gave a small wave and an unseen smile before disappearing in a flash of white flames.

"That Shirokage always manages to get away, doesn't she?" Cementoss walked towards the pair.

"She certainly does," All Might sighed. "Thanks for the cover. You saved me Cementoss."

"I am a fan of yours, too." The man admitted. "Let's get you to the nurse's office while keeping you hidden. But man, you act recklessly every time, huh?"

"If I didn't act recklessly, I would've been killed. That was how strong the enemy was." All Might looked of to the side as he wiped some blood off his face. "Besides, Shirokage has already scolded me. For a vigilante, she acts more like a mother hen!"

"Is that so?"

***Elsewhere***

"Ouch..." Shigaraki laid on the floor as he bled. "I was shot in both arms and both legs... We lost completely... Even Nomu was defeated! All the underlings were defeated in an instant, and if that shadow had joined the fight seriously the same would have happened to Nomu. Those kids were strong... The Symbol of Peace was healthy... You were wrong, Sensei!"

"No, I wasn't." A voice spoke up from a TV in the room. "We were just not prepared enough."

"Yes, we underestimated them." Another voice spoke up. "We never expected that vigilante to show up, much less have that much strength. It's good that we did it under that cheap 'League of Villains' name. By the way, what about Sensei and my joint creation, Nomu?"

"He was not retrieved?"

"He was blown away." Kurogiri answered.

"What?!" The second voice exclaimed.

"More precisely, without coordinates to his precise location, I could not find him, even with my warp." The villain explained. "I did not have time for that."

"After all we did to make him as powerful as All Might!"

"Well, I suppose it cannot be helped. That's unfortunate." The first voice spoke.

"Power..." Shigaraki muttered from his spot on the floor. "That's right. There was one child who was as fast as All Might."

"Oh?"
