The End Results

Fireworks had gone off in the sky, as the crowd cheered and clapped for the winners of this year's Sports Festival; All of the first year classes from each course had been gathered around anxiously waiting for the podium to see the top three students. Reporters and cameras stood on the other side of a metal fence as they had been taking several photographs. The whole Aihara family had been in their own section of the field as they had gotten special permission to get up close and personal.

Though Oda looked more pissed than he did excited, seeing as how he heard some bad news from a certain teenager. Though the rest of his family couldn't really figure it out, as he had been mumbling incoherently.

"Dad, come on." Joji said, "Can't you at least have a smile or something?"

Oda replied angrily, "No!"

"Come on, gramps, this for Reina-chan!" Lena said as she had a video camera set up, "We gotta capture the moment!"

"I thought Floyd was your little brother." Aaron said.

"Shut up, he ain't gonna be on that podium." She said nonchalantly as she shrugged before turning on the camera.

Floyd shouted from where he had been, "I HEARD THAT!"

"All of the first-year events for this year's UA Sports festival have been completed!" Nemuri announced, "And now we will begin the awards ceremony!"

Several fireworks had soon shot up in the air, before confetti guns fired into the air. The podiums soon ascended from the ground with the three victors from the matches, this being Katsuki Bakugou, Shoto Todoroki and Reina Nouki. Though two things had been different; one is Reina looked to be wearing a white t-shirt instead of her black tank top, and she had her sword on her back thanks to the strap her sheath had been provided.

The second had been Katsuki, as everyone had been taken back. He had been tied up against a stone stand; a muzzle had been seen over his mouth as he looked to be in cuffs, restraining him from using his Quirk. He looked to be like that of a wild tiger as he thrashed against the restrainants attempting to break them, and he sounded like he had been screaming.

Class 1A looked especially surprised at Katsuki as their jaws had practically dropped at the sight.

"Oh my word…" Chouko said.

"Wow…" Momo said.

"What the heck…?" Kyoka said.

"He's been going nuts since he woke up." Eijirou said, as he shook his head, "Man… Bakugou…"

"He's acting like a feral animal." Fumikage commented.

Floyd said as he slapped himself in the face, "Even I can't laugh at that, it's just embarrassing… In a bad way.."

"Why would you want to laugh at it?" Gio asked him.

Reina watched as Katsuki just thrashed about; just completely forgetting the fact that she had been there as she stood awkwardly, rubbing her elbow. "I thought he would be more proud of getting to the top..." She thought to herself, before she leaned over to glance at Shoto, before she stood up straight again, "... I remember Chou-chan saying Katsuki-kun and Todoroki-san fought in the final round… I wonder what happened that got him so angry."

She soon looked down to her feet as she thought back to the dream earlier, "I was going to tell him about it after the ceremony… But I guess it's going to have to wait till he calms down."

"And now, we will award the medals!" Nemuri announced, "The presentation will be of course by this man--!"

The crowd's eyes brightened as they saw a familiar man appear at the top of the stadium.

"Oh my God, it's him!"

"It's All Might!"

"Man, the first years are so lucky…"

"Yeah, they've got the number one hero watching them!"

All Might soon jumped off the roof and landed in front of the podium, though as he did, he spoke, but--

"--I have bought the medals here!"

" --Our very own Hero, All Might!"

Nemuri ended up overshadowing the number one Hero. The whole crowd of students looked awkwardly at this, though Izuku, Reina and Floyd had different reactions to this.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to talk over you!" Nemuri said apologetically as All Might's body shook slightly.

"Oh my God…" The three of them thought in unison.

Nemuri shook off the awkwardness as she soon held the medals towards him. "Anyway, All Might--!" Nemuri started to say, "--Please present the medals starting with third place."

"With pleasure." All Might said happily.

With that said, All Might took the third medal and approached the podium. Reina straightened herself up and fixed her hair a little as All Might approached. "Here you are, Young Nouki." He said, holding the medal towards her, "Congratulations."

Reina bowed her head and allowed him to put it around her neck. Her eyes gleamed as she looked to shine off the bronze, seeing her own reflection; she laughed softly as she smiled.

"You made a lot of people proud today." All Might told her, placing his hand on her shoulder, "Despite everything, you proved yourself on this day. Your certainly true to your word, and you went beyond everyone's expectation."

"Thank you All Might-senp--" She stopped herself for a moment before she picked it up again, "--Sensei. I still can't believe I made it this far."

All Might soon brought her in for a hug, though Reina couldn't help but hug back. "Just, try to be more careful with your Quirk next time around, alright?" He said softly as he patted her back lightly and gently.

Reina gave a nod, "I will… I promise."

With one last pat, All Might removed himself from Reina, as she looked to the medal again, admiring it. She soon heard her class and Floyd's family cheering for her.

"Congratulations Rei-Rei!" Mina cheered.

"You go girl!" Gio added, "Mazel tov to you!"

"Date me, please!" She heard Mineta shout, making her shiver.

Floyd gave Mineta a smack on the head, "SERIOUSLY MAN, HAVE SOME CLASS!"

Tsuyu added as she slapped Mineta with her tongue. "Yeah, cut that out."

"Ow...come on Tsuyu, Aihara!" Mineta complained, "I gotta get those dames!"

"Shut up, Mineta.." Floyd and Tsuyu added.

"Nice work, Reina-chan!" Lena shouted.

"You were awesome!" Aaron cheered.

"Hooray for Reina-neechan!" Hana and Eliot said.

"Can you show me your combos next time your over?!" Sachihiro said.

"Congrats on the win Reina-chan!" Joji added.

"Come celebrate at our house, alright!" Josephine said.

Oda soon said as he tried to be as supportive as possible despite his pissed off look, "We appreciate it if you do, Miss Nouki!"

"I guess Oda-san's still mad at me for not telling him or Shota about that Villain encounter…" Reina thought in her head as she slumped over awkwardly, "... I'm definitely gonna be in for it when this day is over."

All Might soon approached Shoto, as he still looked down. "Young Todoroki…" All Might said, "... Congratulations." Shoto stayed silent as he allowed All Might to put on the silver medal.

"I assume there's a reason you didn't use your left side in the final?" All Might soon asked him.

Reina perked up slightly as she had been curious as well. In the crowd Fubuki couldn't help but have her curiosity as well, since she heard he restrained himself unlike in his match with Izuku.

Finally, Shoto spoke up.

"... I had an opportunity during my match with Midoriya." Shoto had explained, "... But then I became unsure of myself. Though I'm not sure of Aihara and Reina… I can see why you have a little interest in Midoriya. Fubuki and I… Wanted to become a Hero like you. But I didn't think it would be right for me to be the only one to break away." He soon looked up to All Might, "There is still something I must settle."

Reina and Fubuki couldn't help but give a small smile, while All Might gave a nod of approval. It was than, Reina noticed the look in his eyes before she looked over to Fubuki.

"Thank goodness…" She thought in her head, "... He doesn't look sad anymore. Him and Fubuki-chan. In fact… They look more alive than they did before."

She soon looked over to Izuku as he noticed her eyes had been on him. She gave Izuku a warm smile, which caused him to smile back at her, almost as if he had known what she had been thinking.

"Thank you… Izuku-kun." She thought, "You really are amazing."

All Might soon gave Shoto a hug, like he had done with Reina, "I won't ask about the details…" He said, "... But I'm sure you'll be able to do what you need to do."

"... Yes." Was all Shoto said.

Finally All Might moved onto Katsuki, as he still held his glare.

"Now then Young Bakugou--!" He said before noticing his restraints, "--This is too much."

"That's an understatement." Reina thought in her head.

Floyd added, "for once i agree."

All Might went to remove the muzzle from his face as he said, "Good job doing what you said you would during the player pledge!"

"All Might…" Katsuki soon said with a growl, before his glare intensified, "... Winning first place like this… IS NOT WORTH ANYTHING! EVEN IF THE WORLD RECOGNIZES IT, IF I DON'T RECOGNIZE MYSELF, THEN IT'S TRASH!!"

Class 1A had been taken back by this, as were Reina, Izuku, Floyd and All Might.

"His face is amazing…" The four of them thought equally as they looked stunned.

All Might soon cleared his throat, "Right, in this world where people are constantly being publicly, there are not many who can keep aiming for the top of an unchanging scale."

The four of them had been taken back when he still had that glare as he growled.

"His face is amazing…" Izuku, Reina, Floyd, and All Might thought again.

All Might soon held the gold medal to him, "Take this medal, okay?" He said, "Think of it as a wound so you never forget!"

"Is that supposed to be encouraging!?" Reina exclaimed in her head.

"I DON'T WANT THAT PIECE OF GARBAGE!" Katsuki shouted.

All Might went to put the medal on him, "Come on now."

"GET THAT TRASH OFF OF ME YOU IDIOT!" He yelled.

Though instead of the medal ending up around his neck, it ended up on his bottom jaw, forcing him to bite onto it; Reina didn't really know how to react to that, nor did Izuku. Floyd on the other hand, just ended up laughing at how he looked.

"Now you're laughing!?" Eijirou, Sero and Kaminari exclaimed.

Floyd said through his laughter, "yeah man! It's just so hilarious!"

"Bro but you said--" Gio started to say before he had been cut off by Floyd as he patted him on the back. Floyd said to him, "FORGET THAT!"

"STOP LAUGHING AT THIS INKY DINKY DINGUS!!" Reina shouted.

Floyd shouted back to her as he flipped her off, "EAT MY ASS, VAPORWAVE!"

"WHAT' WAS THAT?!" Reina shouted as she raised her fist at him, "I'LL MURDER YOU!"

"DO IT THEN! SQUARE UP!" Floyd shouted.

"Oh no..not again" Sachirio sighed.

"First Bakugou-chan, now this." Tsuyu said.

"They really are like a couple." Toru said.

"I'll say…" Chouko said, before she said softly amusingly, "... Looks like Bakugou-san has some competition."

"WE'RE NOT A COUPLE!!" Reina and Floyd shouted. "KNOCK IT OFF WITH THAT CRAP!"

"C-COUPLE?!" Mina asked.

"Wait, Aihara-kun and Reina-chan are dating?!" Pony asked.

"That explains it.." Mahi repiled.

"DON'T MAKE ME COME OVER THERE AND KICK YOU WHERE YOUR BOY'S ARE!" Reina shouted at Floyd, "YOU'LL KNOW I'LL DO IT!!"

"WHAT'S STOPPING YA?!" Floyd shouted, "I'LL KICK YOUR ASS SO HARD, YOU'LL NEVER SEE IT COMING!"

"OH YEAH!?" She yelled, "WELL I KICK YOUR ASS SO HARD, YOU WON'T KNOW WHERE AND WHEN THE SUN SHINES, MR. BENDY THE LITTLE DEVIL RIP OFF!!"

Floyd gasped at this, "YOU TAKE THAT BACK!"

"NEVER!" She shouted back at him.

"OH THAT IS IT NINJA! YOU GONNA GET SUPER SMASHED NOW!"

"COME AT ME SCRUBLORD, I'M RIPPED!!"

All Might tried to calm the two of them down as he said, "Now, now Young Nouki, Aihara, this is a public ceremony…" Though it proved to be futile as they looked to be glaring daggers at one another.

Lena soon yelled, dropping her camera as she whipped out a weapon which was a spiked bat, "OKAY THAT'S ENOUGH FROM YOU TWO! ONE MORE PEEP AND I'LL END YOU GUYS SO HARD YOU'LL REINCARNATE AS A CHAIR!"

Reina and Floyd both froze up, as they saw Lena looking a little more demonic.

"S--Sorry Lena-senpai." Reina said as she soon hugged her sword.

"P-please Spare Us.." Floyd added.

"Wow..she really is a demon.." The rest of Class 1A and even some of Class 1B said.

"Marry me.." Mineta said before Kyoka hit him with her earjacks.

"Huh, I can see were the American gets his beastly nature fro-" before Monoma could finish that sentence, he was hit by a flying spiked bat courtesy of Lena.

"THAT GOES FOR YOU TOO, COMEDIAN!" Lena shouted.

"Damn… I wish she was my sister.." Mahi said in amazement.

All Might soon turned to the crowd and the students, "And here they are! The winners this time around! But listen here, anyone could have ended up on these podiums. It's just as you saw--Competing! Improving on each other! And climbing even further! The next generation of Heroes is sprouting! So I have one more thing to say, everyone please say it with me! Ready--"

"--PLUS ULTRA!"

"Thank you for your hard work!"

The crowd had an awkward silence as they all looked to All Might. Though it hadn't been long before the crowd started to boo at him.

"What the hell!? That wasn't the line!" Josephine shouted, "It should've been Plus Ultra!"

"Well I thought they worked hard!" All Might reasoned.

Joji soon added, "Yeah so I think it would've been Plus Ultra."

"I'm sorry!" All Might said as he bowed.

Oda shouted to All Might as he sounded pissed, "YOU SHOULD BE!"

"Dad please.." Josephine said with a sigh.

Reina chuckled as she watched the students try to break up the fight between Oda and All Might.

"Whoa…" She softly smiled as she looked at the medal around her neck, "... What an eventful day…"

***

-Later that Day-

After everything had settled down, the entire class soon returned with their teachers, as they had changed back into their school uniforms. Despite how tired they had all been, the teachers still had something to say to their students.

Shota and Lena stood at the front of the classroom.

"All of you… You did good work today." Shota said, "There will be no class tomorrow or the day after. I'm sure the Pro Heroes who have watched today would want to recruit you, but we'll consolidate everything and announce once you get back."

Lena soon added with a smile, "You guys deserve a little r&r after all!"

"All of you, rest well, and look forward to it." Shota told them.

"Yes sir!" The students said except for Katsuki who still had held the first medal in his mouth like a dog.

"Alright, class dismissed!" Lena said. The entirety of Class 1A started to gather their things and leave the room; it hadn't been long before turning to her brother, "Let's go Floyd ma and pa are waiting for us!"

Floyd couldn't help but complain, "Come on Lena. I ain't no kid. I can walk home by myself!"

"After what happened today, we ain't letting you do that!" Lena said before saying under her breath,. "To think that villain attacked you during The sports festival..the daughter of Dad's ex..that is a major concern..if she were to come back to take you again… I… I just don't know what i'll do.."

She soon noticed Reina and Izuku approaching him. "Meet me at the front entrance." Lena said, "I'll leave you guys alone."

Floyd said with a nod, "got it"

Reina gave out a sigh as she fixed up her bag, "Whoa… What a day, huh?" She said to the boys, "I mean, if you were to tell me we were going to be part of the Sports Festival in middle school, I would've called you crazy."

"You and me both." Floyd added.

"I still can't believe you got third place Reina-chan." Izuku said with a smile, "How does it feel?"

Reina laughed softly as she played with the medal around her neck a little, "It feels… Different, but in a good way. I guess I did well in getting recognized right?" She shrugged a little, "Despite all that's happened of course…"

Izuku and Floyd looked confused at this.

"Hmm?" Floyd asked. "What makes you say that?

Reina gave an unsure look to them as she had been hesitant to form her next sentence. "... Do you guys remember… When we were looking for Fubuki-chan, when the second round was about to start?"

Floyd and Izuku both gave a nod at this.

"Well…" She said as she rubbed her elbow, "... In the cafeteria… I kind of… Had a near death experience with a Villain…" She looked at Floyd, "... A Villain… Who was the opposite of you…"

At this, Izuku and Floyd gasped at this, as their eyes widened in shock, which startled her. "Why do you have that look?" She asked the two of them.

"That Villain—!" Izuku said, keeping his voice low, "--Did she have scars on her body?!"

Reina's eyes widened slightly, "She did actually… Why…?"

Floyd soon said, "we.....we had an encounter with her as well.."

Reina soon looked surprised, and yet she had a concerned look, "Oh God—!" She exclaimed, "—Were you two hurt?!"

"Were we hurt?! We should be the ones saying that!" Izuku said.

Floyd added, "Did she hurt you?!"

Reina played with her ponytail a bit before she said, "She uh… Might've shot me in the shoulder when I tried to run…"

"WHAT?!" Izuku and Floyd shouted before they both immediately shut their mouths so as not to draw attention to themselves.

Floyd soon said, keeping his voice low, "she shot you?!"

Reina gave a nod while she felt were she hit her. "Did—" Izuku said with a gulp, "—She does anything else to you?"

"No." Reina replied, "But… She told me she was here for something, and that I was an added bonus. She wanted to bring me to someone, but I don't know who." Reina gulped as she clenched her hand, "Not to mention… The way she looked at me… She seemed to know who I was…"

"... Just like the Villains at USJ…" Izuku added softly.

"I think I have an idea who she was after..." Floyd said under his breath as he held his lips, though Reina didn't appear to have heard him.

"How did you get away from her?" Izuku asked.

Reina's expression changed slightly, as she looked to the floor, "I… Don't know exactly…" She replied, "... I think I passed out. The next thing I knew I was outside with Katsuki-kun." Neither of them noticed her face turned a little red, "I think maybe he helped me, since he said he saw her too."

"Kaa-chan saw her too?!" Izuku exclaimed.

Floyd said, crossing his arms, "Of course he did."

"You guys haven't told anyone else about the Villain, right?" Reina soon asked, as she looked at them.

"No, only Floyd-san's family knows." Izuku said, "They're actually the ones that saved us."

"Seriously?" She said.

"Yeah." Floyd replied, "Turns out Dad and Grandpa knew who she was.."

Her expression changed at this, as she couldn't help but have a thought, "If she's working for Shigaraki, than it might be a problem when I'm looking for him with Katsuki-kun… I have to know what I'm dealing with in case I run into her again. It's gonna be risky, but I need to know more…"

She looked at Floyd, "Floyd-kun… I need you to do me a HUGE favor, but you can't let your parents, your sister or brothers know."

Izuku and Floyd had been taken back by this request.

"U-uh--Y-yeah, sure what's up?" Floyd asked.

"All Pro-Heroes have records of their past battles…" Reina started to say, "... Previous Villains that they've captured, or faced… That girl we saw, looked as old as we are, so she couldn't be in the Villain business for that long. Do you remember if she said anything about herself at all?"

Izuku and Floyd pondered a thought before they both came to a conclusion. "Now that you mention it…" Izuku said, "... That girl did say something about her mother…"

Floyd had added, "and that she was obsessed with my dad for as long as i can remember.."

Reina's eyes widened slightly, "Of course! Why didn't I realize it sooner?" She said under her breath.

"What?" Floyd said.

She soon placed both of her hands on Floyd's shoulder, "Floyd-kun… What I'm asking for is going to be crazy but here's my favor… I need you to sneak into your parents office. Find a profile on that girl's mother and send the info to me. The profile you're looking for should be labeled as Harumi Dokubutsu. Can you do this for me?"

Floyd looked at her confused, as he said, "Yeah I guess.."

"Wait Reina-chan!" Izuku said, "Why do you want to know about her? What good is it going to do?"

Reina let go of Floyd's shoulders before she replied hesitantly, "I just think… If she works for the same Villains that attacked USJ, we should be more prepared, you know? Better to be safe right?"

Izuku and Floyd looked at one another, as they both had been skeptical, which made Reina a little nervous. Though she calmed down when Izuku said, "I… Guess that's true."

Floyd added, "Better Safe than sorry."

She smiled at this, "Thank you."

Soon enough Shota approached them from behind. "Reina." He said, nudging her to get her attention, "You can chat with them later, it's time to go home."

Reina couldn't help but roll her eyes, "You don't have to accompany me you know? Shouldn't you get back to the hospital since your still in recovery?"

Shota only gave her a look, "Nice try, but you're getting off the hook that easily. Need I remind you and I still have to talk about today."

"Meep!" Reina said as she started to sweat.

Floyd couldn't help but snicker a little at her expression, "Man, I can never get tired of that.."

"You too, Mr. Aihara." Shoto added as he activated his quirk.. "Your sister and parents are waiting for you."

"Meep!" Floyd added as he shivered "Yes sir."

"Shota…?" Reina soon asked, "... Can't I just give them a hug goodbye at least?"

Shota gave Reina a quizzical look before he sighed, "Fine, just be quick."

Reina gave a nod, before she turned to her two friends, giving them both a hug. "Call me later, okay you two?"

"Of course." Izuku said, giving her a pat on the shoulder.

"Like we would forget something like that!" Floyd said.

Reina looked over her shoulder, making sure of something as Shota waited. She soon whispered into Floyd's ear, "Remember Floyd-kun… Send me what you find. Don't let anyone else know."

Floyd didn't say anything, he had only nodded his head. Without another word, and one last wave, Reina went with Shota to exit out of the building, leaving the two of them to wonder about something; Though they looked to be in disbelief.

"... I can't believe it…" Izuku said softly, "... Reina-chan really is hiding something."

Floyd said as he shook his head, "Damn it… She's probably planning on doing something stupid again…"

Izuku's body shook a little, "Reina-chan… I don't want to see her get hurt again… We have to figure out she's hiding, before she ends up killing herself!"

Floyd turned to Izuku as he gave a smile and a thumbs up, "You got it!"

***

-UA Front Entrance-

The Aihara family waited for Floyd as their car had been parked in the lot that UA had provided for the teacher and staff alike. Sachihiro was listening to music while the twins had been fighting over the Nintendo Switch, annoying their older sister and by extension Sachihiro.

"If you two don't stop fighting over that game i swear, you two are grounded!" Lena shouted.

"BUT LENA! ELIOT KEEPS SPAMMING AFRO'S DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ATTACK!" Hana yelled.

"Not my fault you pick a weak character like Meat Bun Boy." Eliot said.

"YOU TAKE THAT BACK YOU MEANIE!" Hana yelled as she hit Eliot on the head with a toy she had gotten from the festival area.

Eliot started to cry as he called out for his mom, "MOM! HANA HIT ME!"

Josephine swiped the toy away from Hana before she could hit him again. She smacked her on the head, as she told her, "Just for that No TV for the both of you!"

"NOOOO!!" Hana whined, "NOT THE TV!!"

"Thanks a lot!" Eliot said, "Now I'll never know if Anderson fights against Ty in this week's new Dreamcasters or if Woody Woodpecker outsmarts his next enemy!!"

Sachihiro groaned, "I can't even listen to my music with you two whining like babies."

The twins soon yelled to their older brother, "STAY OUT OF THIS!"

"I hope the Boogeyman scares you both." Sachihiro said as he slumped in the van.

He soon felt his mother hit him on the head, "You better shape up too or no music for you!"

"Ma really?!" Sachihiro exclaimed.

Joji and Aaron stood by Oda as they were doing their best to calm him down since he had still been mad at a certain teenager.

"Come on grandpa, aren't you being a bit hard on Reina-chan?" Aaron asked, "Did you talk to her about it at least?"

Oda replied as he still sounded pissed, "No! Understand this is not just Reina-chan we're concerned about here. But your little brother..My Grandson! To think she would go after both of them.."

Joji said as he let out a sigh, "I don't understand… This isn't like Harumi's kid at all… We knew she was crazy, but something seemed off… Like she wasn't doing it on her whim..we all know she's after Floyd...but there was something else.."

"Now that you're saying this…" Aaron said, "... If she was going to go after Floyd, why didn't she do that in the first place? Based on what you said, she went after Reina-chan first, and not him."

Oda seemed to lose his anger as he soon said, "Yeah… Out of all the people, out of Floyd… Why Reina-chan?"

All of sudden, the three of them had been taken back by a ringtone, as it had played loud blasting music that even took the rest of the family. It played a familiar tune which immediately took Joji and Josephine off guard.

"Is that Stand Proud, Dad?" Joji asked

"I thought you favor the Old Shonen Jump Series than the new ones?" Aaron asked.

"Never mind that!" Oda said, taking the phone out of his pocket. He saw the caller ID before he took the call.

"Malcolm, what is it?" Oda said, "Are you still in Russia, or did you come back home alre--"

"OdaIscrewedupbigtime!" Malcolm shouted at a fast paced, "Villainsbrokeinandgotaway!

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey!" Oda said, trying to calm him down, "Easy, what's the problem?"

He heard Malcolm take a deep breath, before he gave his reply, "I'm at Tardis General right now. Vivazo was here… She was here with her partner and--They took her profile!"

Oda looked confused at first as he had asked, "Partner? You mean she wasn't alone? Who's file did they take?"

"Reina-chan's!" He exclaimed, "They got Reina-chan's file!"

At this, Oda's face paled as he couldn't help but say, "My God...You mean.."

Malcolm gulped as he replied, "Yeah.."

Oda got up as he said to his son and grandson. "I'll meet you back in the house in a bit."

***

-Later that Evening; Hosu General Hospital-

Tenya didn't arrive at the hospital till night came. He had been anxious the whole way since his mother had called him about Tensei. All kinds of thoughts raced into his head, each thought had been piling up one after another.

Was his brother alive?

Was in a coma?

Was he dead?

He didn't want to think of the worst case scenario as he finally got where he needed. He practically ran to the hospital. Even when he arrived, and checked in with the front desk, he ran towards the room despite the hospital staff telling him otherwise.

Despite the room being on the fifth floor, he just ran till he saw his mother in view.

"Mother!" He called out.

"Tenya, your here!" His Mother said as she stood.

"How's Tensei doing?! Is he alright!?" He started to ask.

"He's--" His Mother started to say, before she had been cut off when he went to the door. He yanked the door open, "TENSEI!"

His widened when he saw the state of his brother. His own brother had been hooked up to several machines; a bandage patch had been wrapped around his abdomen and another set wrapped around his head, covering his entire skull. He had a breathing tube just over his mouth and nose pumping oxygen into his body as the heart monitor beeped steadily, and he had been hooked to an IV.

"The anesthetic wore off earlier and regained consciousness." The doctor in the room explained, "He's still in a haze. If he had come into surgery two minutes earlier, we would've been too late."

Tenya saw Tensei open his eyes; the color in his eyes looked to be pale.

"... Tenya… Mother…" He groaned.

Tenya's mother fell to her knees as she started to cry, while Tenya went to his brother's bedside.

"Tensei!" He exclaimed, "Big brother Tensei!"

Tensei soon spoke up again, tears began to form in his eyes, "Even though… Such an accomplished younger brother… Like you… Looks up to me… I'm sorry… Tenya… Your big brother… Lost…"

Tenya soon fell to his knees as he began to cry as well; he cried out with agony as he couldn't help but grip the sheets.

"... Tensei…!"

-Midnight, Club Mirage; District (???)-

Normally Club Mirage had been busy at this time of night, the only time it had been empty was when Pitch had her quote on quote "Private Parties". This had been one of those nights as they awaited the arrival of their most recent client. They awaited their arrival as Pitch had been sitting on a wooden chair in the middle of the dance floor with her two lieutenants Crock and Vivazo by her side, as well as what looked to be an old gramaphone.

Though, this time around, instead of Pitch showing her face, she had worn a mask. The mask had the face of an antique doll with black eyes that looked to be faded having the number 7 on its forehead. One if it's eyes looked to be painted with a black tear.

There had been three more men and women, by Crock and Vivazo's side, all of them wearing doll masks like she had been. Only Crock, and Vivazo weren't wearing the masks like her and the others.

She sounded as though she had been humming as she had her wooden antique doll on her lap as she looked to be tying it's hair back as she fixed up the dress she had on the doll.

"Miss Pitch!"

Pitch stopped humming for a moment as she picked up her head; there had been another man, who looked to be dressed as a butler that hadn't been wearing a mask approached her. He had a buzz cut, as well possessing a couple of scars, on his cheeks and forehead.

"It's your guest from earlier." He said as he bowed, "They've arrived."

"Bring them in." Pitch told him.

The man bowed and went to do as he had been told. It hadn't been long before he appeared again with her clients. This of course, had been Kurogiri, Tadano Hitonari, and Tomura Shigaraki.

"And here I was beginning to think you wouldn't show." Crock said with a smile.

Vivazo added with a giggle, "Yay, grumpy hands~So nice of you to come back!"

Shigaraki only groaned annoyingly in response to this, before he looked at Pitch, "This is quite the unexpected turnout. I was under the impression only we would be the only ones doing the trade."

"I can assure you, I haven't gone back on anything or changed the deal in any way…" Pitch told him, "... These are just a few of my personal friends that have had issues with Mister Anderson's group in the past, and wish for revenge."

"I see." Shigaraki said casually, "... Do you have what I asked for…?"

"I do." Pitch said.

With a snap of her fingers, Vivazo took out what looked to be a folder that had been labeled "For Tomura Shigaraki." and looked to have a red bow. She waved it in her hand as she smiled.

"The files which you have asked for are in there." Pitch said, "I'll give them to you… But first… You have something that I want."

"Right…" Shigaraki said before turning to his associate, "... Kurogiri. Do it."

Kurogiri nodded before activating his Quirk. A total of twenty four portals appeared seemingly out of thing air, before several men and women fell out toppling over onto the ground. All of them looked to be tied up, and had their mouths duct taped shut, each of them wearing Tadano's collar around their neck as they looked to be terrified and they looked to be barefoot.

Pitch turned to her associate Crock, and as if reading her mind, Crock said with a smile as she started to circle the group just as the portals closed. "Oh yeah Miss Pitch. This is definitely them." Crock told her as she chuckled before her face turned into a glare, "They're the ones responsible for the death of our previous lieutenant… AND MY LOVE!"

Vivazo soon took notice of one or two men with darkened skin as she started to drool. She said as she practically jumped in place while her face had been red, "I call dibs on those two!" The two men cowered at this as Vivazo drooled like a hungry dog.

"Patience Vivazo." Pitch said, patting her shoulder as she stood, "All in good time."

Vivazo said to Pitch as she wiped the drool off of her chin, "Yes ma'am~"

Pitch soon turned back over to the three, eyeing Tadano in particular, "You're better than I expected Mr. Hitonari. It's a shame I don't have more like you working under me."

"Thank you Miss Pitch." Tadano said as he bowed his head slightly.

"Now then Miss Pitch…" Shigaraki said before he held his hand out, "... It's your turn."

"Vivazo." Pitch said, turning to her second, "Give our client his gift."

Vivazo nodded before she walked over to them, still eyeing the two men with dark skin in particular. She handed the folder to him, as she said while licking her lips, "You could use some lotion."

"Step away, crazy bitch!" Shigaraki said to her with a glare as he swiped the folder away from her hand.

Vivazo skipped back with a giggle, "Aw, Mr. Grumpy hands, I was just having a little fun! Not that you never knew what fun is."

Crock only chuckled, "Funny how you can make fun of someone that could actually kill you."

Vivazo said to her partner gleefully, "It's not like he could do it anyway."

Shigaraki clicked his tongue as he opened the folder to look over its contents to make sure she had been keeping her end of the bargin. Although… He wasn't too happy when he realized there had been twenty three files.

Shigaraki growled, looking over to Pitch as he started to scratch his neck. "What the hell is this?!" He said harshly, though Pitch didn't seem phased by this tone, neither did her lieutenants, "What the hell kind of game are you playing?! I gave you photos of twenty four students, and yet, there's twenty three!" He tossed the folder on the ground in sheer anger, "Why are there only twenty three!? Did you screw it up!? I thought you were supposed to be good at your job!"

Pitch finally said to him calmly, "... Calm yourself Mr. Shigaraki. I'm never the type to go back on my word, it would be bad for business. The twenty fourth student had been a bit tricky since her file wasn't listed in the records the school had. Her file had been on Dr. Kenko's computer, so I had Crock grab the file there."

Pitch reached into her skirt pocket, taking out a purple flash drive. "This has everything pertaining to the twenty fourth student." She tilted her head slightly, "Though… I was surprised to learn something very peculiar… They told me her name wasn't listed as her name at all… It was listed as Patient Zero..."

"Patient Zero…?" Shigaraki said, "What does that have to do with anything!?"

"Crock and Vivazo…" Pitch started to explain, "... Encountered a Pro Hero before they escaped… And he told them something rather interesting… He told them a name..." Pitch hugged the wooden doll as she looked to be pondering.

"...What was her name again…?"

She soon looked back at him, "Oh right… Reina… Her name is Reina…"

At this Shigaraki stopped scratching his neck as his eyes widened slightly, while Tadano and Kurogiri flinched.

"Oooo, now that got a reaction." Crock said.

Vivazo added with a chuckle, "I can totally tell he's about to shit his pants!"

"I'm curious…" Pitch said, as she tossed the drive in her hand, in the air before catching it again, "... When you came to me… You said that some of the students… Or two had caught your eye… I can figure out one of the two, based on the information I've gone over… But Miss Reina…" When she caught the drive again, she handed her wooden doll over to Vivazo. Vivazo took care as she sat the wooden doll on the chair Pitch sat on previously. She made sure it sat upright, even going as far as to fix its hair.

"... She could affect the future of all Villains like you and me…" She continued as she began to pace, "... She's indeed among one of the powerful, and could be a potential threat. Any Villain in your position would aim to kill her, to make it so it never happens… And yet… Your aim from what I understand… Is to capture her alive. I wonder why that is…?"

Shigaraki glared, as he gritted his teeth under the hand covering his face; his palms started to open as it looked as though he was getting ready to fight.

Pitch soon held up her hand, causing him to freeze, "Rest assured Mister Shigaraki… Despite our differences when it comes to business, I do not wish to kill her."

Shigaraki, Tadano and Kurogiri had been taken back at this.

"You don't?" Shigaraki said surprised, "Why?"

"Let's just say, if she were to die… If she were to be killed by a Villain lower than us… It would be a disgrace." Pitch said. She soon tossed the drive over to Shigaraki which he had been quick to catch, keeping one finger elevated so as to not accidentally use his Quirk.

"... If you do not wish for her to die, than I suggest you take care of this secret." Pitch advised him.

Shigaraki merely huffed, placing the drive in his pocket, "You don't have to tell me what I already know." He turned to his comrades, "Let's go home. We got what we wanted."

"Right Shigaraki." Kurogiri said, before activating his Quirk again. A portal opened just behind them, and Tadano stepped inside. Shigaraki had been about to follow, though it hadn't been long before Pitch stopped him again.

"Mr. Shigaraki." She said, "Should you find yourself in need of assistance again… Please don't hesitate to stop by."

"... Got it." Was all Shigaraki had said before stepping into the portal. Within moments, it disappeared, along with Kurogiri. Pitch soon looked to the twenty four lieutenants, as they started to cower again.

"Now Miss Pitch?" Vivazo asked as she started to stomp her feet like a dog.

Pitch looked to the two men in particular as they looked to be covered in tears. "Enjoy your new toys…" She said motioning to the two men, "... Consider it the beginning of your reward."

Vivazo kicked her feet in the air as she cheered.

Vivazo couldn't help but smile, before moving Pitch's mask a little, giving her a kiss on the lips before pulling back, though not before Pitch responded to this action. She said as she set the mask back in place, as she ruffled her hair, "THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!"

Vivazo soon skipped over to the men, before dragging them off to who knows where in the building, leaving them with only twenty lieutenants now. "GET READY FOR THE RIDE OF YOUR LIFE BOYS!" They heard Vivazo shout, followed by the cries of the men echoing in the club.

She turned to the others in the room, "Crock… Do it."

"With pleasure ma'am." Crock said with a chuckle as she placed a cigarette between her lips, before lighting. She walked over to the gramophone, turning it on as it played an unsettling melody.

The people in masks broke out weapons, as they looked to be holding knives, saws, a carving tool that they had been hiding behind their backs. Crock's metal claws emerged from her hands as she rubbed the two of them together creating sparks. As they started to approach them the lieutenants stood up from the floor as they attempted to leave.

"On the farm, every Friday

On the farm it's rabbit pie day

So every Friday that comes along

I get up early and sing this little song"

They soon cried out when the ground in front of them had heated up suddenly, nearly burning the skin off of their feet. Turns out it had been done by Pitch herself as she had activated her Quirk; the lieutenants took notice of what looked to be cigarette ashes on the floor.

"Be good now little kits…" She told them, "... Otherwise you'll experience the pain of your legs being torn off slowly before you die…"

"Run rabbit, run rabbit, run, run, run

Don't give the farmer his fun, fun fun,

Bang, bang, bang, bang, goes the farmer's gun

Run rabbit, run rabbit, run, run, run"

The men squirmed and cried, trying to beg before the girl though their words couldn't get through as it had sounded incoherent.

"Let the punishment begin…" Pitch said to her lieutenant and the men and women in the room.

Crock chuckled as she led them, and thus it began, as the floor had soon been coated with red.

The cries of the men and women had been heard as the doll on the chair fell over on it's side; the song on the gramophone overshadowed the screams.

"Run rabbit, run rabbit, run, run, run

Don't give the farmer is fun, fun, fun

He'll get by without his rabbit pie

So run rabbit, run rabbit, run, run, run"

-???-

Shigaraki entered his room, soon after they had returned from Club Mirage. He had told Tadano and Hitonari to look over the other twenty three students, and go over their information in case they had an encounter with them again.

However, the twenty fourth student wanted to look over it himself.

He had to see it for himself, what Reina had been doing this whole time. This had been his answer, right in the palm of his hands.

He would bring her back, no--HE WILL.

He wouldn't let anyone else kill her, and if anyone found out and tried to do such a thing, he would kill them where they stood.

Removing the hand from his face, he sauntered over to his computer, inserting the memory drive in the slot provided on his hard drive. Opening the file labeled under "No Name" he had taken back what he had found inside.

All the files within, looked to be that of videos, each of them having a different date.

"What are these…? Diaries…?"

He moved his mouse over to the first video, clicking twice allowing it to open. There the first image he saw was that of a woman, with pixie cut style hair and wolf ears in the video thumbnail; it looked as though she had been a room with the windows covered in blinds, with only a machine that lit up the darkened room.

He soon clicked the button on the player provided, allowing the video to play.

The woman with wolf ears fixed up the camera before she backed up, clearing her throat, fixing her hair a bit,

"Log in Date: August 21st, 2008. My name is Shimizu Kenko. It's been over a week since the town had been plagued with the unknown substance causing it's citizens to…"

The woman named Shimizu took a sharp inhale, as it looked as though she had been preventing herself from crying. After a moment, she had regained herself.

"...The Pros, and authorities searched through the town, and are currently taking care of the problem before it can get out of hand. But, as sad as it is… They only found one survivor."

She picked up the camera from the tripod, before taking over to the capsule. Shigaraki's eyes widened as he saw who had been inside the machine, when he recognized the combinations of shades as she looked to be only four.

"She unfortunately hasn't regained consciousness since they found her." Shimizu explained as she showed the child, and the machine she had been, "A friend of mine allowed me to bring her here to I-Island to keep her condition stable and in case someone tried to come for her. Whether she's going to wake up or not… Well… I'm afraid all we can do is hope…"

Shigaraki soon brushed his hand across the screen as the child came into the video again. His eyes softened at who it had been.

"...Rei-chan…"
