The kids walked away from the interview not wanting to waste any time on their pursuit to save Katsuki. They now stood kiddy corner from a building.

"Okay, this is the spot the tracker is broadcasting from," Yaoyorozu said. 

"So that's their hideout?" Kirishima asked. "Not a bad one, I guess."

"Maybe it is and maybe it isn't," Eva said. "His smell is faint here."

"Probably something to block it again," said Todoroki.

"I do pick up Tiger's and Ragdoll's scents, so I guess that means we hit a trail," said Eva. "Yaomomo?"

"According to the tracking history, the villain hasn't left this location for the past day," Yaoyorozu informed. "But that's all we know. One villain is hiding here, but that could be it. They could have Bakugo somewhere else. We're going into this operation completely blind for the most part. Please try to proceed logically."

"I don't like this," Iida said. "None of us are good at sneaking around. We need Hagakure and Jiro here. If I think things are going to be the least bit dangerous, we're done. I won't hesitate to call the police either. To make sure my friends are safe."

"Thank you, Iida," Izuku said. "So, what can we do with what's in front of us? Let me see here." He went into his muttering. "The prerequisite is that we don't use our Quirks to fight the villains, and on top of that, we need to figure..."

"It's been a while since I've seen him this weird," Kirishima noted. 

"Yeah, this is truly peak Midoriya," Yaoyorozu added as Eva felt the bands holding her wings together snap. It ripped right through the dress, hitting both Iida and Todoroki and making them fall over. 

"Sorry," Eva apologized as she forced her wings down. 

"I figured that would happen," Kirishima said as he tilted his head. "I got this just in case." He pulled out a long jacket, as the other two got back to their feet. 

"Probably should've just gone with that in the first place," Yaoyorozu sighed. "I just thought she'd looked so much hotter like this."

"Thanks," Eva blushed at Momo's comment as she removed the other jacket. "Thank you, Kirishima."

"Just looking out for you the way Bakugo would," Kirishima said as he put the jacket over her shoulders. "Since he's not around, someone's gotta step up till we get him back."

"Are you two alright?" Yaoyorozu asked. "Todoroki? Iida?"

"Yeah," Iida said as Todoroki nodded. "It was unexpected, I guess that is what we get for tying her wings together." They made their way over to a vending machine, Eva was back to holding onto Iida's arm. She was supposed to be his arm candy. 

"We've gotten pretty close, but I haven't seen anything move inside," Yaoyorozu said. 

"And not a single light is on, "Kirishima added. "It doesn't look like anyone's home."

"They're hiding this lair in plain sight," Todoroki said. "It looks like any other abandoned warehouse."

"Nobody would think twice about what's inside," Eva added. "It's clever."

"The weeds under the front door are thick and undisturbed," Izuku noticed. "There must be another way to get in. Maybe someone's Quirk is hiding it. We can't just enter carelessly. It could be a trap. If you could just see inside somehow..."

"Hey," a drunk man greeted, and two more drunk men walked up to them. "You lookin' for a real man, darlin'?" 

"We're good," Yaoyorozu squeaked.

"Ditch these losers and come drink with us," the man encouraged.

"Come on," the other man laughed. He hit the shorter guy on the back of the head. "Don't go pickin' fights."

"Hey! You talkin' ta us?" Izuku asked as he got back into character. 

"We're just cruisin' for some hot girls," Iida played his part. "This arm candy is with us!"

"Let's get out of here," Todoroki ordered as he walked away. They followed his lead, going behind a building. "It's not crowded, but there are people around. 

"We can't draw attention to ourselves," Momo added.

 "So what's our next move?" Eva asked as she pulled the jacket up more.

"Let's go around the back," Izuku suggested. "It might be the best chance we have to get some intel on this place." They made their way to the back, it was a narrow squeeze. 

"This is so narrow. I might get stuck," Yaoyorozu whispered. 

"Just keep moving," Izuku said as he looked back at her. "We have to figure out what's happening inside. No one will see us from back here." He gasped. "There! We should be able to get a look through that window. Eva, you can take the jacket off and use your wings." She did as she was told; Yaoyorozu immediately safety-pinned parts of the dress back together. It was nice to not have her wings restricted anymore.

"We'll be blind in the dark," Todoroki said. "Even Eva."

"No, I can see in the dark," Eva said. "You five will have trouble."

"One second," Yaoyorozu said. "I'll make a night vision scope, so she won't be up there alone."

"Wait," Kirishima said. "No need. I actually brought one along with me for this." He held up the device. 

"Whoa, really?" Izuku asked. 

"When I thought about what we'd have to do, I figured we might need it," Kirishima explained. 

"Sure, but aren't those models super expensive?" Izuku asked. "I did some research on them when I was thinking when I was thinking about my costume, but they cost, like, 50,000 or something, right?"

"Whatever, man," Kirishima grunted. "Just drop it."

"Right," Todoroki breathed. "Then Kirishima will serve as our scout along with Eva. Back them up, Midoriya." Iida and Todoroki were having Kirishima and Midoriya stand on them. Momo had finished pinning Eva's dress. She flew up as everyone got situated. "Make sure not to get seen."

"I know," Eva whispered, she peeked through the window, scanning the room she gasped.

"Hold steady," Izuku said.

"Don't lean forward too much," Iida advised as Momo made a sort of carrier. "We may have to run at a moment's notice. 

"Or fly," Yaoyorozu said. "I'm certain Yuki can get us out of here in seconds."

"Iida, can you move back a little?" Kirishima asked. 

"Tell us what you see inside," Iida said as the other two got to the top. "Quickly, and be quiet."

"Got it," Kirishima said. "The place is pretty trashed."

"In the corner," Eva said. "Take a look Kirishima. Back left, confirm it." Kirishima did as he was told, he let out a yelp. He almost fell back, Eva went behind, pushing him back forward.

"Hey, you okay?" Izuku asked. 

"What's wrong?" Todoroki asked. "You two weren't spotted, were you?"

"No," Eva shook her head. "Ragdoll is inside, but she's not all conscious." The others gasped. 

"The back left," Kirishima trembled as he held it up for Izuku. "Just as Yuki said, Midoriya. Look!"

Izuku did as he was told, he grunted at what he saw. "No way, Are those all...Nomu?"

"Yeah," Eva nodded. There was a thud, Eva and Kirshimia looked over to see a truck being lifted into the air.

"Hey!" Kirishima exclaimed turning to the others. 

"Is that?" Izuku asked as they looked over again. Mt. Lady smashed through the building, crushing all the Nomu on the building below. Eva caught Kirishima and Izuku as the others fell over to the aftershock. Their head disguises fell off Eva's antennas were back in sight. She picked one of the Nomus as Tiger grabbed Ragdoll. Best Jeanist and Orca had the other Nomus restrained.

"We have control," Best Jeanist said. "The Nomu are neutralized."

"What?" Iida asked as Eva placed the other two on the ground. "Did the building just come down?" Eva went back up to see through the window. 

"Gang Orca and Mt. Lady," Eva stated as Yaoyorozu and Kirishima joined her. 

"Whoa, even Best Jeanist is here," Kirishima said as they heard police sirens. 

"And Mr. Tiger, too," Yaoyorozu added. 

"Ugh," Mt. Lady groaned. "Are these dudes really alive? I thought we'd be in for a fight, but this was super easy. Maybe we should've left this to the police and gone with All Might."

"Difficulty and importance are two very different things, rookie," Best Jeanist said. "Riot squad, get the transports ready. There could be more of them. Be on your guard!"

"Yes, sir!" Riot squad responded. The kids went back to the ground.

"C'mon, Ragdoll. Wake up for me," Tiger pleaded. 

"Is that your teammate?" Orca asked. "She's breathing. That's good."

"Yes, but...Look at her," Tiger said as he looked at his teammate again. "What have they done to you, my friend?"

"Everything's fine," Iida smiled. "The heroes were on top of this way before we were."

"This is great!" Kirishima smiled. 

"Now then, let's go back home," Iida instructed. "At least we won't have to explain ourselves."

"What about Katsuki?" Eva asked. 

"The heroes should have him," Todoroki said. "If he wasn't here, then he must've been somewhere else."

"It sounded like All Might is somewhere else," Izuku said. "Does that mean he's rescued Kacchan?"

"If All Might's on the scene, there's no reason for us to worry," Yaoyorozu assured. "Let's go. Quick."

"Right," Todoroki responded as they began to exit. Eva heard distant footsteps, she stopped looking back Izuku did the same. 

"I'm sorry, Tiger," All For One apologized as made his way out of the destroyed building. "But Ragdoll's Quirk was so useful. I just had to take it. How could I not?"

Eva grabbed Izuku's sleeve, he looked at her.

"I recognize that scent," Eva said softly. "From years ago in the forest." Izuku gasped.

"Are you with the League?" Orca asked. 

"Somebody get us a light," Tiger urged. 

"Since my body was mostly destroyed, I haven't been able to stock up on Quirks," All For One said. 

"Stop there! Don't move!" Orca ordered as he put out a hand. Best Jeanist used his cloth to restrict the man from moving.

"Hey! You can't attack like that!" Mt. Lady exclaimed. "What if he's just a bystander."

"Think about the situation," Best Jeanist urged. "A moment of hesitation could decide the fight. We can't let these villains try anything!" He tightened the fabric, but All For One broke free there was a huge explosion. The kids all hid behind a wall, all stricken without absolute fear. What they just witnessed was horrifying. Izuku had grabbed onto Eva's hand she held it tightly. They were feeling death, it was a clear vision. 

"Tomura has finally started thinking rationally and making decisions by himself," All For One said. "I do wish you hadn't gotten in his way." The man was floating in the air, he was staring down at his opponents. "Now then, shall we begin?" He began clapping as all the heroes lay on the group in fear, and defeat. "I see why you're the number four hero, Best Jeanist. That blast should have annihilated the lot of you. But you were able to manipulate everyone's clothing and pull them out of the way just in time. Quick thinking. Consider me impressed."

"It's him," Best Jeanist trembled. "It wasn't supposed to go like this." He shakily used his quirk to push himself up. "But that doesn't matter. A true hero doesn't believe in excuses!" Fabric shot towards All For One. The villain easily deflected the attack, then ripped apart Best Jeanist's front, and he fell unconscious. 

"Now, I see," All For One said. "Your strength comes from practice and practical experience, not raw power. I don't need your Quirk. It wouldn't pair well with Tomura's disposition." 

'Do we have a chance if we try to move to escape?' Eva thought to herself, her thoughts got interrupted by the sounds of splashing and Katuki's coughing. 

"Damn it," Katsuki coughed. "The hell?"

'Katsuki!' Eva thought to herself. 

"My apologies, Bakugo," All For One said. 

"Huh?" Bakugo panted. 

There were more splashing sounds; the people who attacked the camp had shown up. Spinner was on the ground gagging. 

"That was so gross," Toga said as she covered her mouth.

"This black stuff reeks!" Twice complained. "I love it!"

"Master," Shigaraki breathed.

"So. You've failed once more, Tomura," All For One said as he walked over. "But you must not be discouraged. You'll try again. That's why I brought your associates back with you. Even this child, because you judged he was an important piece on your game board." He held out a hand. "Start over as many times as it takes. May I suggest adding that fairy as another piece? They are vengeful creatures, help Eva Yuki accept her nature, the hero course isn't right for her, just as you believe it isn't right for Bakugo." Eva put a hand over her mouth so no one would hear a gasp. " I am here to provide you with help. All of this is for you." Katsuki growled. Eva looked over to see her best friend was about 6-7 meters away, no one seemed to notice the other students were there. 

Eva noticed Izuku take a step forward Iida immediately stopped him from moving more. Eva looked over at the others, they were all just as shaken as she was, Eva touched Izuku's shoulder and he looked over, she then gestured to her wings. 

"Ah. There you are," All For One said. 

There was a collision of power and they then heard All Might but his tone was completely different. "I'll have you return my student, All For One!"

"Have you come to kill me a second time, All Might?" All For One asked. Everyone held onto each other, as they braced through the shocks. 

"No," Izuku breathed. "There's too many of them!"

"It took you long enough to find us," All For One said. "It's only five kilometers from the bar to here, and yet it was at least 30 seconds after I sent the Nomu that you arrived. You've gotten weaker, All Might."

"You're one to talk," All Might growled. "It's kind of difficult to ignore that fancy life-support mask you've got on. Aren't you over-exerting yourself?" He jumped on one leg. "I won't make the mistake I made five years ago. You hear me? I will take Young Bakugo back. And I will make certain you're locked up for the rest of your sad life. Right along with your despicable League of Villains." He charged forward.

"Sounds like you've got your work cut out for you," All For One as he prepared his attack. "This will be hard for us both." All Might got thrown multiple kilometers back, crashing through many buildings. "Hm. Air Cannon plus Spring-like Limbs. Kinetic Booster times four. Strength Enhancer times three. What a delightful combination. Maybe a few more enhancers next time."

"All Might!" Katsuki gasped once the debris started to clear. 

"Don't you worry, it'll take more than that to kill him," All For One said. " Get off that battlefield, Tomura. And take that child with you." He held up his hands. A quirk came out of his fingers, lodging into Kuogiri. "Kurogiri. Warp them away."

"Careful," Magne advised. "One of the heroes messed with him, and he's unconscious. I'm not sure what's going on, but if you can teleport, why don't you get us out of here?"

"My warp power is still new, Magne," All For One answered. "There is much I need to learn about it. "Its distance is limited, and while he can teleport to specific coordinates, I only transport people to and from my own location. Or with focus, to or from someone I am very familiar with. That is all. It's easier to have Kurogiri do it. Forcible Quirk Activation. " A warp gate was opened. "Leave this place."

"What about you?" Shigaraki asked. All Might yelled as he shot back into the scene, All For One rose in the air.

"You're not thinking Tomura," Kurogiri said. "There remains much room for you to grow."

"You're mine!" All Might declared. There was another powerful shock.

"Master," Shigaraki breathed.

"Let's go, Shigaraki," Mr. Compress ordered. "While our masked lead is keeping All Might entertained. Claim your prize." He put Dabi in blue marble. 

Katsuki looked at all the villains, as they stared back at him. "Huh. This is gonna be fun."

"Young Bakugo, don't!" All Might ordered. All For One was making it difficult for All Might to get to Katsuki. They saw Katsuki dance around, avoiding the villains as they went after him. This time they were going to take him by force. 

"I'm coming for you!" All Might shouted as he ran towards his student.

"I don't think so," All For One denied as he lodged his quirk into All Might. "Because I am here." He threw All Might into another building. He immediately jumped back into action. Eva noticed he was holding back due to Katsuki. 

"Iida. Listen!" Izuku urged turning to him. 

"You can't fight," Iida denied. "I won't let you."

"No, I think there's another way!" Izuku said. "A way that won't involve any combat. That'll let us escape with him. Come on, we can still get Kacchan back!"

"Tell us your plan," Todoroki requested. 

"The thing is, it's all going to depend on him," Izuku answered. If I did the plan myself, I don't think it would work, and I need Eva focused in the air. So, Kirishima. You're the key to this being a success!" Kirishima gasped.

"We need details Midoriya," Todoroki said. "C'mon."

"Right," Izuku nodded. "Here's what I'm thinking." He glanced at the carrier that Momo had created. He then explained his plan. 

"Are you holding back against me?" All For One asked after All Might gave another punch. "Trying to keep the boy from being blown away?" All Might jumped back. "You've put yourself in quite the predicament. So how will the hero prevail?"

"Are you out of your mind?" Iida asked after Izuku finished explaining his plan. 

"Kacchan will have realized the situation that All Might's in," Izuku explained.

"I agree," Todoroki said. 

"He's staying on the defensive with his enemies, keeping his distance," Izuku said. "That's good for us. We have to move when he's got some space between him and the villains."

"Iida," Momo breathed.

"It is a gamble," Iida admitted. "But all things considered, there's not much risk to us. And more importantly, it could change the tide of this fight. I'm in."

Eva put the carrier that Momo designed specifically for her. There was no wings restriction, on the front it was designed to have two people attached to her, perfect for what they were about to do. Izuku and Iida were strapped in on the sides, as they held Kirishima in the middle. They put their feet on the wall behind them. Izuku started to activate his quirk. They started to go through the motions of the plan. 

"Here's what we do," Izuku began to explain. "First, we'll propel ourselves using my Quirk, combined with Iida's Recipro. Then, using Kirishima's hardening...we'll break through the wall. The second we've cleared it, Todoroki will make a huge slab of ice for us. As high as he possibly can. The villains haven't noticed us yet. Up until now, they've been able to outmaneuver us." They were now going up Todoroki's ice. "But we're finally in the position to get the jump on them. And we'll cross the battlefield, at a height that they'll never hope to reach. Eva will help us remain in the air without worrying about falling to the ground." The villains watched as they went over their heads, off the slab of ice. The villain started to activate his quirk, directing it toward the kids. "Right now, the guy in charge of the villains is holding All Might back. But that means the reverse is true, too. The part's up to you, Kirishima. It's no good if I do it." Eva saw Katsuki looking up at them. "Or Todoroki, or Iida, or even Yaoyorozu, and I need Eva focused. Ever since school started, you've built a solid relationship with Kacchan as equals! If his friend calls to him..."

"Come on!" Kirishima shouted as he looked back, sticking out his hand. 

"He'll listen," Izuku finished. "And then Eva, go fast."

Just as Shigaraki was about to reach the student, Katsuki let out a yell and a huge blast, going up to his friends. With another blast, he projector forward, grabbing Kirishima's hand. "You idiots."  

"What?" Spinner asked.

"Eva," Iida said. "On my mark, you pick up the speed--"

"Don't tell her what to do, damn you!" Katsuki shouted. 

"It's not the time to fight, you guys!" Kirishima shouted. Down below, Eva saw Yaoyorozu and Todoroki make a run for it. 

"Why do you keep showing up everywhere?" Shigaraki asked. 

"A fairy!" Toga giggled as she jumped up and down.

"Seriously?" All Might asked. "You kids."

"Don't let them get away!" Mr. Compress urged. "Who can do distance?"

"Kuogiri and Dabi," Spinner answered. "But, they're down!"

"You two, come here," Magne ordered. She started to activate her magnetism quirk, she put the other two inside. "Ready!"

"Repulsion Breakup," Mr. Compress said as they shot forward. "Night Flight, Cannon!"

"Titan Cliff!" Mt. Lady shouted as she got bigger, she got smacked right in the face.

"Whoa, Mt. Lady!" Izuku gasped. 

"The rescue's priority," Mt. Lady said as she started to fall over. "Go home, you dumb kids."

"Sorry Iida," Eva breathed. "I'm not waiting on your mark, just hang tight and don't drop them." Eva immediately picked up the pace. They all braced themselves, having a tighter grip on Kirishima and Katsuki. 

"We can still catch them!" Magne shouted. "C'mon, you two." They got stopped by a little old man.

"Grand Torino!" Izuku gasped. 

"I'll let you know when to land, Eva!" Iida shouted. "Don't slow down yet!" Eva picked up the pace a bit more, soon they were reaching more of the busy streets. Iida had her land across the street from the station, they stopped in an alley. Once she took off the carrier, they made their way over to the station itself. They were looking up at the news and Eva made it a point to fasten the buttons on her dress. There was no point in her trying to blend in anymore. Due to her clumsiness when it comes to walking, Iida had her hold onto his arm once again.

"Yeah. What about you guys?" Izuku asked, he was on the phone with Shoto. "No one saw you? Good. We're stopped in front of the station. Luckily, we missed that last shockwave. Our rescue totally worked."

"A rescue?!" Katsuki repeated. "That's not what happened back there. You idiots just happened to be my best escape route." Eva put her hand on Katsuki's face, he put his hand over hers.

"You're welcome," Kirishima smiled, and he gave a thumbs up.

"I had to get out of there so All Might could destroy that guy," Katsuki said. They saw two helicopters fly over to the fight scene, and everyone's eyes lay on the screen for the footage they were about to see. They saw All Might fly up after a shock wave. Grand Torino was able to prevent him from not crashing into the helicopter. They saw that All Might was steaming, the way he did before transforming.  Eva saw that All For One didn't seem to have eyes or a face in general. 

"The scene below's straight out of a nightmare," a reporter began. "Half of Camino Ward was demolished in a single, horrifying instant. All Might is currently fighting the villain who appears to have caused the blast. I can't believe it. How is one person so powerful! He's destroyed the city and is more than holding his own against the Symbol of Peace!" All For One got ready to attack, he was aiming toward a citizen trapped under a building, All Might got ready to fight as Grand Torino prepared to dodge and rescue the citizen. There was another huge explosion, as the smoke cleared. Everyone saw All Might's true form. Everyone was shocked, and people murmured amongst each other. 

"He looks like a skeleton," a man said.

"Uh. What's wrong?" the reporter asked. "Is-Is everyone else seeing this? It looks like All Might's been shrunk somehow!" They watched as the two fighters stood away from each other, it seemed that they were talking as All Might tried to build up his strength more. Seconds later, All Might's will to fight dropped along with his smile. The man that Eva watched Izuku and Katsuki admire for years was now frozen.

"Beat this guy," Katuski said. 

"No way," a man said. "What next?"

"Is he going to lose?" a woman asked, the kids looked back as the people continued to murmur.

"He's always been able to win before, so he can do it again, right?"

"Yeah, even if he looks totally different, he's still the same All Might."

"Come on, All Might, you can do it!"

The crowd began to cheer him on. "Beat this sucker!"

"Show them what you can do!"

"Win this!" Izuku shouted as he turned back to the screen with tears in his eyes.

"Beat him!" Katsuki shouted. 

"Come on, All Might!" They both shouted together. All Might gained his strength back in one arm as he got into a fighting stance. All For One rose up into the air, looking down at All Might. As All For One prepared to strike All Might, flames appeared. Endeavor and Edge shot had shown up at the scene. They watched Endeavor shoot at All Might. All For One prepared to attack again, but this time aiming at Endeavor. They then saw Kamui retrieve all the other fallen heroes from the earlier blast. Tiger rescued Ragdoll as well as the woman trapped under the bridge. Edge shot and Endeavor took on All For One, keeping him busy.

All around, Eva could hear everyone cheering on All Might, even with the state he was in. "All Might!" All For One shot an attack down at All Might, it blew Endeavor and Edgeshot to the side. They watched as the villain's arm grew massive, horns sticking out of it. It was a combination of other people's quirks. All Might prepared to fight as All For One shot down towards him. The two fists collided, it created another huge explosion. All For One began to overpower All Might, blood splurged out of the hero's mouth. All Might drew back the last of his strength once his feet touched the ground again. He landed a mighty blow onto All For One's face, breaking the mask. Blood spilled out of the broken left arm. All For one powered up his other arm. All Might reached back preparing for one last hit, everyone watched as All Might slammed All For One into the ground, and there was a huge aftermath explosion. It formed a twister, it had the helicopters fly away to avoid getting caught in the revolving wind. Everyone was completely silent, eyes glued to the screen. Waiting for the results when the smoke cleared. They saw All For One completely knocked out, and All Might bent over. He shakily raised his arm, giving a strong fist for all to see. 

"All Might wins!" the reporter shouted through tears, and everyone cheered. "The villain's not moving! He's knocked out! All Might stand victorious!" All Might went into his stronger form. "He's saved us yet again!"

"All Might! All Might! All Might!" the crowd cheered, and everyone remained to watch the remainder of the news. More heroes showed up to rescue citizens from fallen buildings. The sun began to rise.

"The heroes began rescue operation during All Might's fight, but the scope of the damage is staggering," the news reporter said. "Authorities are estimating a large number of casualties. The villain who caused this is--Oh!" All For Once was being led into a chamber. They all could see Endeavor as well All Might. "There! He's being led into the maiden right now!" All Might coughed out blood. "Meanwhile, All Might and other heroes remain on high alert!" All Might slowly pointed toward the camera, everyone went silent. 

"Sorry the trains, aren't running right now!" a man said.

"We can't go anywhere," Iida said. "I wish we could find Todoroki and Yaoyorozu."

"Let's just head that way," Kirishima suggested. "We should let heroes know we got Bakugo in case they're lookin' for him." Bakugo ripped his arm away from Kirishima. 

"Good idea," Iida agreed as they began to look for the other two. 

"Now," All Might said. Everyone stopped walking, looking back at the screen. "Now. It's your turn."

"That's our hero!" a citizen cried. 

"He couldn't be more amazing!"

"Yeah!"

The citizens around them erupted in tears. Eva looked forward to seeing Izuku in complete tears. She then looked over to see Katsuki staring at Izuku, his eyes soon met hers. He gave her a small smile, though it seemed that something was on his mind. He held out his arm, and in an instant, Eva was holding on to him instead of Iida, still, he remained quiet. He remained quiet letting Eva fuss over him.
