The Anti-Symbol of Peace

-UA, Lounge-

"The number you have dialed is currently not in service or has been temporarily disconnected. Please hang up and try again later."

For what seemed like a long time, All Might had tried to call one of the teachers over in USJ to see how things were going so far, but for whatever reason, he couldn't get in contact with anyone whatsoever. As he placed his phone on the table he let out a sigh. "I can't reach Thirteen or Aizawa-kun." All Might said before he turned to a man that had been standing with him, "How about you? Any luck?"

The man that had been in the same room with him was none other than Floyd's father Joji Aihara, who had let out a groan. He replied, "Nothing on my end. They're probably busy teaching the class."

"Maybe but…" All Might said, "... It didn't even go to voicemail…"

Joji reassured him, "No worry! I'm sure they're doing alright!"

All Might ran through his hands through his hair, before he sat back on the couch. "Despite this, I'm neglecting my duties as a teacher because of what happened outside of work." He turned over to Joji, "Sorry for troubling you like that by the way. I know this had been your day off."

Joji couldn't help but add as he rubbed the back of his head, "Ah, it was no big deal."

"I did something very foolish to say the least." All Might said, "What if I go and say something at the end?"

"Are you sure that's a good idea?"

"Why not? My body will last another ten minutes or so, it should be alright."

At that being said, All Might went to his hero form, not surprising Joji in the slightest.

"I WILL G--GAH!"

All Might's sentence had been cut off when he started to throw up blood, making Joji let out a groan.

"Of course this happens." Joji said, shaking his head.

Just then, they heard the door slide open as they were both somewhat startled. "Now hold your horses All Might."

Both of their eyes widened when they saw who it had been. It was a small animal, with white fur; he had a scar over his eye and was wearing a suit and a pair of yellow sneakers to go with it. "PRINCIPAL NEZU!" They both exclaimed out of shock and surprise.

"Yes!" The animal named Nezu said as he raised his paw, "Am I a mouse? Am I a bear? A dog? The answer is… I'M A PRINCIPAL!"

Joji couldn't help but laugh a little at this before saying, "Never gets old.."

All Might kneeled down to his level as he moved to him a little, "You're fur looks very well groomed today as usual sir."

"The secret is keratin." Nezu had said, "Humans can't get this kind of color and luster."

"And there's the reason why my daughter is so jealous." Joji said jokingly.

Nezu chuckled a little as well before he started to rummage through his pockets, "Well we'll talk more about that later for now… LOOK AT THIS!" On his tablet All Might and Joji saw that there was the news media that had the title--

"All Might Resolves Three Incidents In One Hour!" Nezu had read, making All Might flinch.

Joji had told Nezu, "Huh, seems like I'm not the only one that notices."

Nezu let out a sigh, "The fault mainly lies with the ruffians who still cause trouble in this town with even you here, but you also shouldn't react everytime you hear of an incident!"

"That's exactly what I tried telling him." Joji said, "If there's one thing I know it's that this man is stubborn."

"That he is. He hasn't changed since he attended here." Nezu added before he made his way over to the couch, "All Might, your hero activities are limited because of your injuries and aftereffects. On top of that you need to train your One For All successor. Since your intent on staying as the Symbol of Peace, the only way for you to keep the world from finding out about both of those is for you to come here. That's why myself and Joji-san suggested that you become a teacher."

Joji had added with a smile, "Yeah i have to say it's working out nicely"

Just as this was said, All Might had changed back into his normal form, though he had still been crouching even when Nezu took a seat on the couch. "I think you can stay here and relax a little longer." He said, "You can only teach a class for so long after all. Since you've accepted the position, I wish to prioritize your teaching duties. There are other hero agencies in this town after all."

"It is as you say." All Might said, "But that's why I was preparing to go to USJ."

Joji let out a groan as he said, "In that shape?"

"Even if you did go, you would have to come back right away, right?" Nezu pointed out before he started to make some tea, "If that's the case, then you might as well listen to my theories on teaching, and use that to help you in the future."

After he poured a cup, he pushed it over to All Might, and than one over to Joji before he poured one for himself. "Here you are, have a drink." Nezu said before he started to take a sip, "First of all, regarding vulnerability and responsibility being a teacher…"

All Might couldn't help but look at this situation awkwardly as he said, "... You haven't really changed, have you sir?"

Joji couldn't help but laugh at the situation, though it wasn't long before he tried to call his wife again, because let's be honest, as a husband he was worried about her. He put the phone to his ear and after a few brief moments, he had gotten the same message as he did before.

He let out a sigh as he gave a look of worry, "Josie, I hope you're okay out there."

***

Reina, and Izuku, along with Tsuyu, Mineta and Fubuki managed to get far enough away from the Villains after they launched their attack. Though they were still in the shipwreck zone they were safe for the time being as they managed to finally catch their breath. Slowly they moved through the water, in case there were other Villains nearby.

"I had a bowel movement this morning, so those things will stick all day." Mineta said confidently.

"TMI man. TMI." Reina said as she shivered.

The group couldn't help but jump slightly when they heard Izuku start to mumble aloud, "Wewereluckythatwasallofthem.Itookahugegamble.Normallytheywould'vekeptsomepeopleunderneaththewaterinreserveIwastryingtokeepmycompusrebutIcouldn'tstaycalm--"

Reina placed a hand on his shoulder, and he immediately stopped as she said, "Don't worry Izuku-kun, just be glad that we were able to make it through."

"It's scary how you do that Midoriya-chan." Tsuyu said, "But Reina-chan is right, we were able to make it through. So rather than reflecting back, shouldn't we think about what to do next?"

Izuku looked at Tsuyu and Reina before he replied, "Y-yeah, you're both right." It hadn't been long before he let out a groan in agony; that's when the whole group noticed that his fingers were in a purplish color as he held his hand. "Izuku-kun, you're fingers!" Reina exclaimed.

"Are you okay?" Tsuyu asked.

"Don't worry I'm fine." Izuku reassured them before groaning again.

Fubuki soon took Izuku's hand catching him by surprise; using her Quirk, she made a small cast from ice just around his index finger and then to ease up on the swelling and to help with the pain. Izuku couldn't help but look at this with awe. "Th--Thank you." He stammered before he used one of his arm pads to wrap around his hand; Fubuki in turn nodded as if to say "You're welcome".

He soon said to them, "Anyway, we should make getting help our top priority." He pointed over to the stairs, leading outside the USJ, "It's gonna be best if we follow the shore and avoid the central plaza while we head towards the exit."

"That's true, Aizawa-sensei and Aihara-san has drawn a large number of villains to the plaza. So it should make things easy." Tsuyu pointed out. Just as this was said, they heard the sound of fighting in the distance coming from where they once were. Both Izuku and Reina had a look of concern.

"... I'm worried about Shota and Josephine-san." Reina admitted to the group, "... They won't be able to deal with that many Villains by themselves."

"But they're both pro-heroes, so they should be alright!" Mineta said, making Fubuki nod in agreement.

"There were too many of them over there." Reina said, "... Josephine-san has her limits when it comes to her Quirk, and Shota… He's only had to deal with one Villain, not everyone all at once."

"That's true." Izuku said, "If I had to be honest I think Josephine-san and Aizawa-sensei overexerted themselves to protect us. Which means…."

Mineta's eyes widened in realization at what Izuku and Reina had been thinking, "Hold on you two… Don't tell me your both actually planning on…"

"He might need help, so what choice do we have?" Reina reasoned.

Mineta shook his head rapidly before saying, "Stupid, stupid, stupid!"

"Don't worry." Izuku said, "Reina-chan and I won't do anything that'll get in their way. But if we can find an opening and lessen Aizawa-sensei and Josephine's load even by a little… Than they might have a chance against them."

"We shouldn't waste anymore time, let's get moving." Reina said.

The group nodded in agreement before they started to make their way towards the exit as quietly as they could, with Izuku leading them.

"Rei-chan…?"

Reina stopped for a moment to the sound of a familiar voice. She turned to the source, finding it had been that same boy, standing just on the shore of the shipwreck zone. He had a toy boat in his hands with it's paint peeling off a little. He still had that same familiar smile with the red baseball cap on his head.

"I found our boat, it got stuck between the rocks near the waterfall. Come on out before you catch a cold."

For some peculiar reason Reina couldn't seem to take her eyes off of the young boy as he held his hand out to her. She could almost swear that his appearance seemed familiar to her, as he still looked at her with a smile. "Who are you?"

"What are you waiting for Rei-chan? Let's go before she worries."

"I don't understand." Reina said softly, "Who are you? Who are you talking about? Who's she?"

Soon enough she felt a tap on her shoulder, making her jump, only to see that it had been Izuku who had gotten her attention. "Is everything okay Reina-chan?" Reina looked back and saw that the boy with red eyes was no longer there. With a deep breath she replied, "It's nothing I'm fine, let's just get going." She started to make her way towards the exit hiding her face from Izuku before Izuku himself followed hesitantly.

-Collapse Zone-

With Katsuki leading Chouko, Floyd and Eijiro they were making their way out of the zone while fighting the occasional Villains that stood in their way. Everytime they would defeat the group of Villains they would take a moment of catching their breath, except for Katsuki who kept moving ahead while occasionally yelling at them for being slow. Currently Katsuki and Floyd were surveying the area to see if the Villains were nearby. As the two of them looked around, Floyd finally took notice of the look in Katsuki's eyes.

True he had his face, but his eyes held another story; They had concern and worry in them.

"Hey man, something on your mind?" Floyd asked.

Katsuki merely grunted in response as he continued to move forward.

"Dude, It's just a simple question." Floyd said.

"And why should I answer you?" Katsuki asked him as he looked at him.

"Maybe it's the best way to pass the time as we're fighting for our lives in this place?" He suggested, "And maybe it's because you and I are both thinking of the same person?"

Katsuki froze in place at this as he finally turned to him, though he still had his stern look on his face, his eyes still showed his emotion.

"You're worried about Reina-chan aren't you?" Floyd said though as he had expected he said nothing to it, "Who could blame ya for it, I'm worried about her too, and Izuku. They're both like family to me. But, they're not like my younger siblings, I know they'll be alright, since they may not look at it, they'll put up a fight."

"That's not how you see Nouki isn't it?" Katsuki soon said.

This time Floyd was the one to freeze in place; his face turned red slightly. He started to stammer as he began to say, "Wh--wh--wha--what do you mean?"

"Stop acting dumb, Inkhead." Katsuki said, "You're not fooling anyone, and I've seen the way you've looked at her."

Floyd tried to retort but couldn't find any words to say as he just kept his mouth sewn shut. Katsuki continued on, "You look at her the same way I do. Despite everything you two say to one another you keep looking at her with those eyes. That's one of the things that I can't stand about you."

Floyd stood there in shock before he heaved a sigh. He finally spoke up, "How could I look at her differently? There's no one else like her. Ever since she beat me in that race, I saw that she was like me in a way, back when my family still lived in America. Not to mention that she is cute. I mean I really don't get what she sees in you."

"What's that supposed to mean, Inkhead?" Katsuki said to him.

"You heard me,Pisshead! I really don't know what she and Izuku see in you. You're arrogant, narcissistic, loud, rude, and more importantly you're a piece of shit! You're outta control and you always tell people to die! Like seriously you're such an asshat who thinks of no one but himself!!" Floyd yelled.

Katsuki still had his stern expression, before he turned he had turned his head away from him, "Honestly I don't know what she sees in me either…" Floyd had been taken back by this as he looked at him with a shocked look as Katsuki continued, "... But I know what I see everytime I look at her… Though I don't expect someone like you to get it or understand that my feelings are different from yours."

Floyd stood there in complete and utter shock as he continued to push onward with Floyd himself standing there in complete and utter shock by Katsuki's words. Floyd went to catch up, "H-hey! Wait up!"

"What is it now!?" Katsuki couldn't help but yell, making Floyd freeze up a little.

"What the hell was that supposed to mean!?" Floyd said.

"You got something else you want to say to me, right?" Katsuki said, "You might as well do it now while we have this temporary alliance."

"Yeah, I got something to say, what the hell do you mean I wouldn't understand your feelings towards Reina-chan!? That doesn't make any sense!" Floyd as he gritted his teeth. yelled "It's not like you knew her as long as you knew Izuku! Besides, aren't they "D-lister Extras" just like you said before?" It was at this point Katsuki froze once again at Floyd's words before it morphed back into his usual look. He didn't want to tell him, he certainly wasn't his friend, he was just another stepping stone for him. That's the way it should be, that's the way it had always been. She was his secret. Only she would know when the time was right when he found the right words to say.

Katsuki had responded in his usual tone of voice, "If you really are hell bent on beating me when this is all over, then go get shitty hair and chicken wings, looks like the coast is clear."

Floyd let out a growl before he yelled, "THEY HAVE NAMES YOU KNOW PISS FOR BRAINS! AND I WAS JUST GOING TO DO THAT ANYWAY!"

"JUST GO AND DO IT YOU INKHEAD!" Katsuki yelled.

Floyd couldn't help but yell back, "DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO, TRIGGER HAPPY FREAK!!!"

With that Floyd stomped away leaving Katsuki by himself still having Reina in his thoughts. He looked at the good luck charm. "No matter what happens, I'll keep you safe Reina…" He said to himself aloud, "... I'll become the number one Hero, and I'll protect you like I promised… That's what Heroes do isn't it…?"

***

-Central Plaza-

Izuku, Reina, Fubuki, Tsuyu and Mineta managed to get back to the Central Plaza without getting spotted or running into any of the Villains along the way. Though they still stayed in the water since they figured it would be the safest place for the time being at least. They had gotten near the shoreline but stayed low.

"Hey Midoriya? Reina?" Mineta whispered, "We're just going to see how things are right?"

"We know." Izuku reassured.

"Just stay calm, if it gets too dangerous than we'll high tail it out of here." Reina said.

The group jumped slightly when they heard when they saw a Villain go down hard. Shota and Josephine were both seen going back and forth between Villains, knocking them out one by one. With the help of his scarf, Shota had flown above the group as he used it to wrap around a couple of the Villains before he had thrown them across the area. The Villains went to attack Shota, trying to catch him by surprise but Josephine went to stop them. She used her whip to wrap around their ankles and flipped them over so that they landed on their faces, before she hit another row of Villains with her combat baton.

All the while they fought, the ringleader, Shigaraki along with his remaining second in command, and the strange creature stood where they were and watched the Pro Heroes as the fight went on. The man with the hands, the one named Shigaraki, watched Shota closely as he scratched at his neck.

"He's stronger in hand to hand combat…" He said to the man beside him, "... And since he's hiding his eyes with his goggles they won't be able to tell whose Quirk he's erasing. When he fights in a group it makes it harder for them to work together."

"Even a man like him isn't invincible." The man with the gas mask had said.

Shigaraki sighed as he scratched his neck, "This is why I hate pro-heroes… Our masses don't stand a chance against them."

"Should I send Nomu then?" The man with the mask asked.

Shigaraki stopped scratching before he replied, "No Tadano. Not yet. I'll take care of Eraser. You get Caligraphine."

The man named Tadano nodded as he armed himself with an army belt that he had around his waist. He armed himself with what looked to be a type of bayonet. It hadn't been long before they ran towards their enemies, with Shigaraki going after Shota and Tadano going after Josephine. Shota took notice of them running towards them and he saw Tadano going in Josephine's direction.

"That's the final boss huh!?" Shota said, "Caligraphine! Let's take them out!"

"You got it!" Josephine said as she went to attack Tadano while she drew up another melee weapon for herself.

Thus they began to attack, with Josephine and Tadano engaging in close combat and Shota attempting to use his scarf to subdue Shigaraki.

"Twenty-three seconds."

Shigaraki dodged his scarf and grabbed a hold of it, still heading towards it at full speed. Josephine swung her sickle over at Tadano, though he had been able to dodge with ease before he thrusted his blade at Josephine. She managed to dodge it, though barely as it had managed to graze her cheek.

"Twenty-four seconds."

"YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Josephine yelled as she went to punch him. He managed to counter it by throwing a punch of his own pushing her back. From his weapons belt he threw around her what looked to be pellets catching her by surprise that exploded with a push of a button from a device around his wrist. Josephine let out a couple of coughs as she had been blinded by the smoke.

"Twenty seconds."

"What the--!? Tear gas!?" Josephine exclaimed as she felt her eyes start to water and her vision began to blur, "That's a dirty tri--"

She had been cut off when she felt the butt of his gun hit her in the gut. She tried to throw a punch but missed, as she had trouble seeing through the gas that had been around her. Though Shigaraki managed to catch Shota's scarf, he still charged at him, even when Shigaraki thrusted his hand towards him in an attempt to grab him.

"Seventeen seconds."

Shota managed to catch him by surprise when he pulled Shigaraki towards him just as he activated his Quirk. He went to elbow him right in the stomach but Shigaraki managed to block. "Damn." He cursed before his hair went down.

"It's hard to see because you're moving around so much…" Shigaraki started to say, "... But there's an instant when your hair falls. That's when you finished your action isn't it? And the space in between, gets shorter and shorter." Shota's eyes widened at this; from where the students had been, they saw that Shota's sleeve began to turn gray. Shigaraki's fingers came in contact with his skin, and they watched in horror as his elbow began to disintegrate, revealing his muscle tissue.

"Don't push yourself now… Eraserhead." Shigaraki said, smiling under his hand mask.

"ERASER!" Josephine exclaimed, having witnessed it before she had been pushed back by Tadano.

Gritting his teeth he pushed Shigaraki back causing him to stumble as he readied himself when the other Villains he knocked out earlier started to rise up from the ground. "My arm's crumbling!" He exclaimed before he started to engage the Villains once more.

He kicked and punched them, sending most of them flying in a random direction. He attempted to catch his breath as he held his crumpled arm, since he had a hard time moving it.

"Your Quirk isn't suited for fighting long fights against a large group huh?" Shigaraki said as he started to get himself up off the floor, "Isn't this too different from your usual job? What? You're good at this sort of fight after a surprise attack right? Even so… You and Caligraphine jumped right in front of us to fight. Was that to put your students at ease?"

More enemies came charging at him when his hair fell down. Shota managed to knock them out with ease despite the fact that he could only move one arm. It hadn't been long before he turned his sights back over to Shigaraki who had stood tall from the ground.

"You're so cool." Shigaraki said, "You're so cool. Oh and by the way, Hero… I'm not the last boss."

Shota wondered what he meant as a shadow suddenly loomed over him. There he saw that it had been the strange creature that had managed to get behind him without him noticing. Without having time to react, the creature grabbed a hold of his head and slammed him into the ground hard, causing his goggles to fly off of his head.

Izuku, Mineta, Tsuyu and Fubuki's eyes widened in horror at this. Reina had been the most horrified as the creature continued to slam his head into the ground causing him to bleed, though despite this the strange creature continued with its merciless assault.

"Sho… Ta…" Reina said in complete and utter shock as she put her hands over her mouth.

"Aizawa-sensei…" Izuku said just as shocked as Reina was.

"YOU BASTARDS!" Josephine yelled, "YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR THA--GAH!"

Before Josephine could charge Shigaraki, Tadano stood in her way as he had managed to disarm her of her weapons before he had her pinned to the ground. He then grabbed a hold of the ink whip and used it to tie up her arms and legs. "If you value your life…" Tadano said as he held a lighter at the handle, "... Then I suggest you don't move."

"Good work Tadano." Shigaraki said, walking over to him. He than kneeled down to Josephine's level as he started to scratch at his neck again, "I'll tell you something Caligraphine since you fought so well as a reward… All Might may be the Symbol of Peace to society but he's…" He pointed over to the creature that had Shota, who had now gripped his arm as Shigaraki let out a chuckle, "... He's the Anti-Symbol of Peace… The bioengineered Nomu."

***

-USJ Entrance/Exit-

Most of the students had worried looks on their faces as they didn't know what became of their fellow classmates once the Black Mist did his part. Immediately once the dust settled, Mezo began to search around for all of them, to see where they had been.

"Shoji-kun?" Tenya said, "Is everyone here?"

"Are they all safe?" Lena soon added.

"Everyone's scattered, but they're still in the building." Mezo replied, causing them to sigh with relief.

"Damn it all!" Hanta said, "Physical attacks won't work against this guy, his Quirk is the worst!"

"So what are we supposed to do!?" Mina exclaimed. Thirteen looked over there situation as he thought about what exactly to do and thought of the only thing they could do in the situation. "Class rep!" Thirteen said.

"Yes?" Tenya asked.

"I'll only entrust you with this duty." Thirteen explained, "You need to run to the school and tell them what's happening here. The alarms aren't sounding and our phones don't have a signal. The alarm system is based on infrared rays. Even though Eraser Head and Calligraphie are handling the Villains left and right, they're still not working, which means they must have someone with an interference Quirk who hid when they arrived."

Lena soon caught on what he had been saying and added on, "Iida, listen to me! We can't wait for help, we can't call for help! You and only you can do this! With your Quirk, you'll be able to run back to the academy and find someone who can assist us with these creeps!"

Tenya processed what they were saying to him, but had been hesitant. He soon said, "It would be a disgrace as a class rep to leave everyone behi--!"

"Go Emergency Exit!" Rikido said as he got ready to fight, "If you can go outside, the alarms will go off. That's why these guys are only doing this inside, right?"

"As long as you go outside, they won't follow you!" Hanta added, as he got himself ready to fight, "Blow away the fog with your legs!"

"It'll be alright!" Lena said, "Don't worry about us and just focus on what's in front of you!"

"Use your Quirk to save others!" Thirteen had been added.

"Iida-kun!" Ochaco soon said, "I can totally support you like I did in the cafeteria! I will!"

"We're counting on you, Class Rep!" Mezo had said.

Tenya looked to the students around him as he thought about the situation entirely as he thought about what to do. With a determined look on his face, he soon activated his Quirk and prepared him to sprint out the door. The Black Mist chuckled at this.

"Even if you had no other choice… Are you really going to talk about your plans in front of your enemy!?" The Black Mist yelled as he went to attack.

"We did it because it didn't matter if you found out!" Thirteen yelled before he acativated his Quirk. The black hole started to suck up the black mist, making the Villain stop in his tracks. The Black Mist Villain chuckled to himself at this.

"Black Hole…" He said, "... Which sucks up everything and turns it all to dust. That really is an astounding Quirk. However there is one flaw. Thirteen.... You're a hero who works to rescue people from disasters. As expected… Your battle experience is less then half of that of a normal Hero."

Just as Thirteen realized he had activated his Quirk, a portal appeared right behind him causing him to be sucked into the black hole. Most of the group screamed in horror when they saw Thirteen's body get ripped in half, though he had deactivated his Quirk the damage had already been done.

"He… He got me…" Thirteen said as he fell on the ground.

"THIRTEEN!" Lena exclaimed.

"THIRTEEN-SENSEI!" Mina yelled as she ran over to him.

Tenya stood there in shock at what had just happened. He nearly deactivated his Quirk before he heard--

"IIDA! YOU HAVE TO RUN NOW!" Rikido yelled, "HURRY!"

Tenya once more had been hesitant, though he gritted his teeth as he activated his Quirk. "DAMN IT!" Tenya yelled as he started to run. He ran around the Black Mist but he was quick to react as started to go after him.

"We're only waiting for All Might." The Black Mist said as he activated the warp gate to appear in front of him, "If the other teachers are called here, it will be hard for us."

Tenya tried to stop himself, but found himself sliding towards the warp gate anyway, though Mezo had been quick to jump in and use his body to cover the warp gate, making himself roll across the floor.

"GO!" Mezo yelled, "HURRY!"

Tenya nodded and quickly started to run again, but the Black Mist villain had gone after him again. That's when Lena and Ochaco noticed the neck brace that had been connected to the Black Mist. Lena and Ochaco looked at one another before they nodded, having the same idea.

"I will not allow you to go outside!" The Black Mist shouted, "You impudent four eyed brat!"

This time Tenya found himself being engulfed by the Black Mist Villain, which he wasn't able to avoid this time. Just when he was about to engulf the Black Mist Villain found himself floating which took him and Tenya by surprise. It turned out it was Ochaco who had activated her Quirk.

"I don't know what the theory behind this is…" Ochaco started to say, "... But if he's wearing something like this… Then it must mean he has a physical body!" She threw him over her head as she yelled, "GO IIDA-KUN!" Tenya didn't stop running, with the help of his Quirk he finally got to the door. He started to pry it open just as the Black Mist went to attack again.

"I won't let you!" The Black Mist Villain said.

"That's supposed to be our line, punk!" Lena yelled.

She quickly drew up a lasso and used it to wrap around his neck brace to stop him. "Sero! Help me!" Lena yelled.

"Got it Sensei!" Sero yelled as he used the tape from his arms to hold him in place. "NOW! TIME FOR YOU TO CATCH YOUR FLIGHT!" Lena yelled, "SATO!" Rikido grabbed onto the tape and the lasso. He started to spin around before he had thrown him across the way. "GO IIDA!"

Tenya managed to get the doors open just enough for him to squeeze through. "ENGINE BOOST!" He yelled before he started to pick up the speed and he started to run down the very same road they had used to get to the USJ.

"Everyone! Wait for me! I'll get help soon!"

***

Reina, Izuku, Fubuki, Tsuyu, and Mineta sat in the water just frozen and in shock as the creature they heard was named Nomu continued his assault on Shota. They heard Shoat cry out in agony when his arm snapped in two.

"You can erase Quirks." They heard Shigaraki say, "That's wonderful, but… Nothing impressive. In the face of overwhelming power, you might as well be Quirkless."

"Tell me something Eraser…" They heard the man named Tadano add, "... How does it feel to be one of the lower people?"

Shota looked at Nomu, and activated his Quirk, though Nomu had managed to snap his other arm in two anyway as he cried out once more.

"ERASER!" Josephine yelled as she struggled against her restraints, "STOP IT! CAN'T YOU SEE YOU'RE KILLING HIM!?" The small group were still petrified by what they were seeing as he slammed his head into the ground once more.

"Oh God you guys…" Mineta said as his voice quivered, "... Reina… Midoriya… I can't watch anymore… We should just get out of here while we still can… Right?"

"Ribbit…" Tsuyu said as she had almost her entire body in the water; Fubuki's body shook and quivered as she couldn't help but cling onto Izuku.

Izuku soon looked over to Reina, who had been the most horrified out of all of them there. Though in his eyes, he could swear he saw more anger than he did fear in her. "Reina-chan?" Izuku whispered, "Reina-chan are you--?"

Izuku stopped himself when they saw the Black Mist Villain from earlier. "Tomura Shigaraki. Tadano Hitonari." He said, to get his attention.

"That seemed quicker than usual." Tadano said to his comrade.

"Kurogiri." Shigaraki said, "Did you take care of Thirteen?"

The Black Mist named Kurogiri replied, "I've successfully put Thirteen out of action, but I'm afraid one of the students that I was unable to disperse managed to get outside."

Shigaraki and Tadano looked to him in shock at this, though if anything Shigaraki was the most affected at this.

"What?" He said. He soon brought his hands to his neck and started to scratch at the skin there. With every moment he started to scratch at his neck more aggressively not caring if he gave himself scratches.

"Kurogiri you--!" He started to say, anger could be heard in his voice, "If you weren't a warp gate, than I would've crushed you into pieces!"

He kept scratching and scratching until suddenly he stopped when a thought came over him as he brought his hands to his side, "We can't win against a dozen pros… It's game over. Man… It's game over this time. Let's go home."

Izuku, Tsuyu, Fubuki and Mineta had been shocked to hear this, though Reina seemed to be unphased by this newfound news. "They're going home?" Mineta said, "Did he just say they're going home?"

Fubuki nodded as Tsuyu replied, "That's what I heard."

Mineta was in tears at this, as he couldn't help but hug the closest one which had been Tsuyu, "Thank God, we're saved!" He said.

"Yes but…" Tsuyu said before she noticed that his hand had been on her chest. In the next second Mineta had been struggling to breath as Tsuyu had been able to dunk him. "I've got a bad feeling about this."

"Yeah me too… It doesn't make sense." Izuku whispered, "Why would they want to leave after doing all of this?" Reina couldn't help but growl a little, as she removed herself from the water; Izuku took notice as he saw her draw up her weapon.

"Reina-chan!?" He whispered, "What are you doing? Get down before they see you!"

Reina didn't appear to have heard him as she dropped the sheath. "Hey… You bastards…" Reina said lowly before she yelled, "GET AWAY FROM HIM!!!"

Using her secondary ability, the pearl on her gauntlet started to shine, and she flew towards Shigaraki armed with only her sword.

Shigaraki had been slow to react, Tadano made up for it as he quickly ran in front of him blocking her attack with his bayonet; Reina jumped back as she put both of her hands on the handle.

"Well, well…" Shigaraki said as he got himself out from behind Tadano, "... What do we have here? Another brat trying to play hero?"

"You there!" Reina yelled looking at Shigaraki, "You're the one telling that guy what to do right!? Tell him to let Shota go or I'll rip you to pieces!"

Shigaraki had been a bit taken back by this, "Whoa, hey now… It sounds like you want to kill me. That's not very Hero like if you have that kind of a thought."

Reina couldn't help but growl at this before he continued, "I don't have time for you kid. We're just about to leave anyway and I'm already in a bad enough mood as it is. Why don't you run along before I get really angry."

"It's me that you should be worried about getting more angry." She said, "... Now I thought I made myself clear..." She soon yelled aggressively, "I TOLD YOU TO LET HIM GO!"

Shigaraki clicked his tongue before he started to scratch at his neck again, "This girl, she's getting on my nerves. She reminds of someone I REALLY despise, and it's annoying the hell out of me. Nomu…" Nomus eye twitched as he loosened up on Shota and seemed to respond to only one word.

"Kill."

And just like that at tremendous speed, Nomu appeared from behind. Luckily Reina had been quick to dodge as she did a cartwheel in order to dodge his punch. "Damn it!" Reina said, "DON'T GET IN MY WAY!" Thus she charged at Nomu with her sword in hand and she engaged in a fight.

Izuku, Tsuyu, Fubuki and Mineta who has come back up from the water eyes widened in shock at this.

"Is she crazy?! She can't take that guy on!" Mineta exclaimed.

"It looks like she's serious." Tsuyu said.

Reina quickly dodged as Nomu threw a punch at her; she managed to get under him to get behind him before she swung her sword hitting him in the leg. She let out a gasp when she noticed that he didn't seem phased by it.

He grabbed her by the head and hit her in the stomach causing some of her ribs to crack as she flew. She managed to regain herself and slow herself down because of her secondary ability. This didn't stop her from charging him as she let a fierce war cry.

With her blade in hand she went to swing at Nomu, but had to pull back when he attacked with the same force that he used earlier. She managed to gain her bearings before she went to make her second attack. The pearl on her gauntlet glowed as her sword began to float.

She started to run at Nomu bearing her fists and the sword had followed behind. Izuku had been taken back by this as he had never seen this kind of move before when she charged.

Using what brute force she had she threw a punch at Nomu, several actually though Nomu had been able to block her attacks. The sword suddenly flew in and hit him on the shoulder; Nomu went to grab at the sword but it pulled back.

Reina used this as an opportunity to throw a punch at him, but soon found that he wasn't phased by that either. It wasn't long before she found herself toppling on the ground when he punched back with his brute strength. Reina found herself skidding across the floor, as some skin on her arm and head broke.

"What is up with this guy?" Reina said in her thoughts, "No matter how hard I hit him even if it's my sword he's just taking it like it's nothing. How am I supposed to--"

Her thoughts were cut short when he charged again. She jumped when he went to punch the ground though she flew again when his other fist came at her, luckily she managed to block it.

This time she didn't stop herself when she flew, she instead sent her sword after Nomu again. It had been able to hit him dead center in the leg but once more it didn't stop him from moving towards her.

"Her Quirk really is troublesome isn't it?" Shigaraki said as he watched Reina continue to engage Nomu, "It's not like it'll do anything against him, but just to be on the safe side well…" He soon turned to Tadano, "... I'll leave that to you."

"Understood." Tadano said as he got out a small curve-like device from his belt.

This went unbeknownst to Reina as she continued to dodge Nomu's attacks she quickly thought of what to do in her current situation.

"Physical attacks aren't working against this guy! Should I just rely on my main ability? But what if Josephine-sans caught in the crossfire? What if I use it and Izuku-kun and the others are caught in it too?"

She shook her head vigorously as she dodged another attack, "No! No, I shouldn't think that! It should be fine! They won't be looking directly at it! I have no choice! I have to use it! Please for the love of God, let this work! Please don't let me hurt anyone"

Reina managed to steady herself when she had flown again, nearly hitting one of the unconscious Villains behind her. Making sure that her friends were out of view, she reached for the headband and went to remove it.

Just when she grabbed it she suddenly felt someone behind her grab her roughly before she felt something cold pressed against the back of her neck. The device which Tadano held extended around her neck, revealing that it had been a type of a collar, snapping it on to her with a click.

"What is thi--Ow!"

Reina had been cut off when she felt a couple of needles press into the veins on her neck when Tadano pushed a button on his wrist device, and the collar glowed dimly with a white light when he backed up. The moment it did, Reina's sword that had been floating due to her Quirk fell to the ground with a clang taking her, her friends and Josephine by surprise.

She struggled to get the collar off, though everytime she tried to pull at the collar she felt a sharp pain that had been more intense. She soon got rid of that thought when she saw Nomu coming at her again.

She lifted her hand to use her Quirk to at least get her sword. When she did however, the sword didn't fly to her as it had done in the past, it instead stayed where it was which took her back.

"My Quirk!?" She exclaimed, as she stood, trying again, "It's not working!? Why isn't it working!?"

"LOOK OUT!" She soon heard Izuku, Tsuyu and Mineta yell.

Reina felt a sudden breeze go by as Nomu had been in front of her suddenly. Nomu went to punch her giving her no time to react; Fubuki acted out as she activated her Quirk. An ice wall soon appeared between her and Nomu, giving Reina a little time to move.

That proved to be futile however as the ice wall broke and it had hit Reina on the side cracking her ribs even more as she flew. She landed on the ground harder than before as more new wounds seemed to open up.

"REINA-CHAN!" Izuku exclaimed out of worry and fear.

They didn't notice but Shigaraki flinched at the name Reina; he looked over to Izuku with a confused look. ".... Reina?" Shigaraki said before looking at the girl who had been struggling to get up; His eyes widened slightly as he stopped scratching at his neck.

"No…" He said, his voice shaking slightly, "... It can't be…"

Reina struggled to get up, but found herself falling to the ground again as the pain had been too great. Reina watched in horror as Nomu came towards her, her vision somewhat blurred. She had been on the verge of hyperventilating as he grabbed her by the head. She felt his grip get tighter, as he aimed to crush her skull.

"I'm gonna die… I'm gonna die… Shota… I couldn't save him… I couldn't help Josephine-san… My Quirk doesn't work… No matter what I do, nothing will work... I can't get out… I can't escape… I'm gonna die… I'm gonna die…"

Reina's eyes started to turn gold, though she was left unaware as tears began to form in her eyes. "So… Someone… Save me…" She said as her eyes started to close shut.

She hoped that someone would come and save her, as tears began to run down her cheeks. Izuku started to lift himself out of the water to help her when he saw the look on her face was the same as when the Sludge Villain had her and Katsuki.

Before anything could happen however—

"NOMU!" Shigaraki had been heard yelling, "Let her go! Now!"

Just like that Reina felt herself being dropped to the ground as Nomu understood his words making Izuku freeze up just as he was getting out of the water. Reina managed to pick up her head as she saw Nomu as still as a statue as hand was still out.

"He… Let me go…?" She said surprised while her eyes changed back, "... Why…?"

"Tadano. Bring her to me." Shigaraki ordered.

Tadano stood there surprised as was Kurogiri but he did as he was told. When he approached her, he grabbed her by the arm roughly, forcing her to stand and moved with her until she had been beside Shota who had still been unconscious from Nomu's attacks. He kept her on her feet as Shigaraki approached.

As he reached out to her, Reina began to panic again, as she struggled against Tadano's grasp when she remembered his Quirk.

"Oh God! Is he going to kill me?! He's going to kill me isn't he?! I'm going to be turned to dust! He's going to kill me! This can't be happening! What do I—"

She had been paralyzed when she realized that he hadn't been reaching for her face but rather her headband. With two of his fingers he moved and pulled on the straps loosening the knot a bit, just enough to reveal the curve line in the middle of her forehead; the eye moved slightly revealing it's black color to him.

This time Shigaraki had been put into shock as he looked Reina in the eyes, backing up a little before he uttered a word.

Nay, not a word but a name.

"... Rei-chan?"

Reina froze at this, as her body became numb suddenly. She looked back to him with shock and confusion. She tried to say something but couldn't as not even a sentence came to mind. The name, or rather nickname Rei-chan. He knew it, he said it.

That didn't make sense in her head since she had never met this man before in her life. Shigaraki laughed a little as his hands reached out to cup her face, though he surprisingly restrained himself in doing so.

"It is you Rei-chan!" He said, "It really is you! You've grown up to be so beautiful, I didn't recognize you at first glance! I can't believe it! After all this time, I thought you were dead, and yet I find you here in a place like this!"

"Wha…" Reina finally started to say, "... What are you talking about?"

Shigaraki had been taken back by this as Reina continued, "... You're not making any sense to me! I've never seen you before! More importantly, how do you know that name? You couldn't have gotten that from the schedule! So how!? How do you know that name!?" Shigaraki had been stunned by this though after he took a deep breath he was quick to come to a conclusion as he started to scratch his neck again.

"You don't remember me do you?" Shigaraki said he began to scratch harder, "Of course you don't. I should've seen this coming. It's her… This is her doing isn't it? SHE did that to you didn't she? That bitch… That damn bitch! She's going to pay for doing that to you!"

"What are you--?" Reina said. She couldn't help but jump when she saw that he drew blood from his neck. He stopped again as he turned his head over to the side looking at his hand to see blood on the tip of his fingers. "Shigaraki?" Kurogiri said, "... What do you want us to do with her?"

"Should we kill her?" Tadano asked.

"IF YOU SO MUCH AS HARM A HAIR ON THAT GIRL'S HEAD, YOU'RE GONNA ANSWER TO ME YOU PUNKS!" Josephine yelled as she tried to get herself free.

Shigaraki looked to Reina again, as Reina herself shrinked from his gaze, thinking for a moment, until…

"... No." He replied, "... She's coming with us."

Reina gasped at this as did Josephine and her friends when they heard this come out of his mouth. "They're going to take Reina-chan away!?" Izuku thought in his head, "I thought they were here to kill All Might?! What do they want with her!? Why would they take her?! What are they planning!?"

"Oh wait…" Shigaraki started to say, "Why don't we kill two birds with one stone? Let's smash up some of his pride…"

Before anyone knew it, Reina and the group suddenly found Shigaraki right in front of them, as he had his hand out and ready to use his Quirk.

"... AS THE SYMBOL OF PEACE!"

Reina and Izuku's eyes widened when they saw that he had been reaching out to Tsuyu in particular. For a brief moment they saw Tsuyu disappearing into dust. "TSU-CHAN!!" Reina yelled, right when Shigaraki's hand hovered above her face. Just when it was centimeters away they saw that he stopped.

He clicked his tongue again and turned to look over his shoulder, "... Damn it… You really are cool… Eraserhead."

Reina looked to the floor and saw that Shota had regained consciousness and activated his Quirk, bringing relief to her. Though that had been cut short however when Tadano kicked him across the face knocking him out again. "SHOTA!" Reina cried out. Izuku immediately went to act, he jumped out of the water as he activated the One For All Quirk.

"This is bad! This is bad! This is bad!" Izuku exclaimed in his thoughts, "He's clearly different from the others! I have to save Asui-san and Reina-chan and run!"

"LEAVE HER ALONE!" Izuku soon yelled as he attacked while reactivating his Quirk, "SMASH…!"

There was a huge gust of wind when Izuku attacked Shigaraki, which had caused most of the people in the USJ fall to the floor; Tadano, and Reina included. Izuku had as surprised as ever when he saw that his arm wasn't broken. "My arm's not broken!?" He thought, "I'm finally able to control my power like this? I did it! I was able to get in a good smash! All right!"

When he picked up his head, his eyes widened when he saw that Nomu stood in his way; that had taken him back by this. "What?!" He exclaimed in his thoughts, "When did he get here!? Wait…" He looked to where he had hit him and saw that he had gotten him right in the stomach; there was no wound on him whatsoever.

"It didn't hurt him…?" He said aloud as he pulled his fist back. Suddenly his thoughts became clear as he recalled what Tsuyu had said earlier.

"Don't you think they're trying so hard because they have a way to kill All Might?"

Izuku soon realized as he had come to a conclusion on how the Villains had planned to kill All Might. "No way…" He said aloud, "... Don't tell me…"

"You move well." Shigaraki soon said to him, "Your 'Smash'--Are you by chance a follower of All Might's?" He shrugged, "Oh well… You called out to Rei-chan right? So I guess that makes you her friend? I appreciate you looking after her, but sorry to say… That I'm done with you."

Nomu grabbed a hold of Izuku's arm and raised his fist to hit him. At the same time Tsuyu batted Shigaraki's hand away and used her tongue to catch onto Izuku but that didn't stop Shigaraki from reaching out to her as well as Mineta. Fubuki went to protect Mineta though she was in Shigaraki's view instead. "No…!" Reina yelled, "... Don't please!" She tried to run to them despite her injuries but Tadano grabbed a hold of her to prevent her from moving again; She could only watch as her best friend and new friends were about to be killed.

"LEAVE THEM ALONE!" She exclaimed as she had been in tears once more; Her eyes began to turn gold again, which once again had gone unnoticed.

BOOM!

Everyone soon stopped, as they were drawn to an explosion just at the entrance; even the Villains looked to the doors. The students were relieved, some were in tears when they had seen who had stepped out of the smoke. It was the Symbol of Peace himself, All Might.

"It's fine now!" They heard him say, "I am here!"

Though both Reina and Izuku were relieved to see All Might, in his Hero form, however they noticed something missing, something very crucial.

"All Might-senpai… He's…" Reina started to say.

"... Not smiling." Izuku finished.

"Oh…" Shigaraki had said, glad about this predicament, "... We're getting a 'Continue' after all, huh…?"
