## Summary

### The Hero Incident

The Police Force arrives at the Kiyashi Ward Shopping Mall after Ochaco called them. The Police Force temporarily close down the mall in order to find Tomura Shigaraki along with the local Heroes. However, the Police Force and the local heroes could not find Tomura. Naomasa Tsukauchi takes Izuku to the Police Station to be questioned by him about the event that transpired. The event occurring between Izuku and Tomura has been named “The Hero Incident”. As a result of The Hero Incident, the Police Force created a special task force in response to the League of Villains' actions.

At the Police Station, Naomasa questions Izuku about Tomura and their conversation. Although the information Izuku provides is nothing new, Naomasa thanks Izuku for the information and praises Izuku for being level headed during his confrontation with Tomura. The Police investigator is glad about Izuku's actions because collateral damage was kept to a minimum and no lives were lost.

Outside the Police Station, All Might greets Izuku and Naomasa, he apologizes to Izuku for not being there. Thinking about his conversation with Tomura, Izuku asks All Might if there were times when he failed to save someone. All Might tells Izuku that there were many times he couldn't save someone, All Might modestly admits that he is only human and cannot save everyone. All Might notes that his title, the Symbol of Peace, serves to inspire people and Heroes to play their roles so that more people can be saved. Izuku’s mother arrives to pick Izuku up, Izuku comforts his crying mother, telling her that everything is fine. After Izuku and his mother leave, Naomasa theorizes that Tomura will probably target other students and decides that Hero schools must exercise more caution and become more proactive in implementing counter measures against villains. Naomasa advises All Might that leaving U.A. is also an option, but All Might decides against it. Naomasa concludes their conversation by saying that they will capture All For One this time, to which All Might agrees.

The next day at U.A., Shota informs Class 1-A that the destination for their lodge trip has been changed and the new destination will only be announced on the day of the event. The first semester has come to a close and summer break has begun.

On the day of the forest lodge trip, Class 1-A, 1-B, 1-C, 1-D prepare to board buses. After Neito fails to mock Class 1-A due to Itsuka, Class 1-A boards a bus that will take them to the forest lodge destination. On the bus, Shota tries to inform his students that the bus will be stopping in one-hour intervals. However, Class 1-A are fooling around and pay no heed to their teacher. Shota decides to let their behavior slide and notes that their days of fooling around are numbered.

### Class 1-A's School Trip Begins

An hour later, Class 1-A’s bus stops for a restroom break. However, Class 1-A notes that Class 1-B isn’t at the rest stop. Suddenly, two females wearing cat-like costumes and a small boy appear. The females excitedly introduce themselves as the professional Hero Team, The Pussycats. The brown-haired female explains to Class 1-A that they will be staying at the base of a mountain which is a part of their domain; they have three hours to reach the base of the mountain using their Quirks as they please and those who don’t arrive there by 12:30 pm won’t be served lunch. Soon, Class 1-A realizes that they have already arrived at their destination and their training camp has already begun with the Pussycats being their supervisors. Some of Class 1-A try to leave, but Pixie-Bob uses her Quirk to create a landslide of dirt that causes Class 1-A to fall into a forest called The Beast's Forest, which they must traverse to reach their destination. Suddenly, Class 1-A are confronted by a beast. Koji tries using his Quirk to control the beast but it does not work due to the beast being made out of the dirt. Izuku, Shoto, Tenya and Katsuki mobilize and use their Quirks to destroy the clay beast.

The black haired female notes that the training camp he has organized has been well thought out. Shota attributes it to the fact that the increased number of villains has forced the first years to take the accelerated year course (usually reserved for second years) so that they have the skills and knowledge to fend for themselves. Shota lets the Pussycats handle the beginning portion of Class 1-A’s training camp and leaves. The Pussycats decide to head back to the mountain base, however, the small boy is unenthusiastic.Template:Ref

After Izuku, Tenya, Shoto, and Katsuki destroy the dirt beast, Class 1-A begins traversing the Beast's Forest. However, the journey through the forest to the cabin takes around about eight hours. Class 1-A arrive at the facility, battered and tired. It is now 5:20 pm in the evening. Pixie-Bob admits that she thought they would take longer to get to the facility. She praises Class 1-A for figuring out her Earth Beasts quickly and easily. Pixie-Bob then commends Izuku, Tenya, Shoto, and Katsuki for taking quick action against one of her Earth Beasts and concludes that they have experienced action against villains.

### Kota's Past: The Disillusioned Youth

Izuku then asks about the boy, Kota and wonders if one of them is his mother. Mandalay explains to Izuku that Kota is her nephew and asks him to say hello to Class 1-A. Izuku introduces himself to Kota. Suddenly, Kota punches Izuku in his crotch and begins walking away. Tenya goes to check on Izuku and admonishes Kota for his actions. However, Kota harshly replies that he doesn’t want to be with people who want to become corny Heroes. After Kota walks away, Shota instructs Class 1-A to fetch their luggage from the bus and put in their rooms. After doing so, he tells them to go to the dining hall for dinner and afterwards, take a bath and relax. Shota tells Class 1-A that their training begins tomorrow morning.

After fetching their luggage and putting it in their rooms, Class 1-A head to the dining hall and have dinner; they enjoy the delicious food that the Pussycats provide them. After finishing dinner, Class 1-A go to the hot springs for a bath, one side for males and another side for females, which is divided by a wooden wall. On the boys' side of the bath, Minoru notes that the bath schedules for the males and females have overlapped and as a result, the females of Class 1-A are also at the hot springs. Tenya demands Minoru to restrain himself. However, Minoru is unable to contain his desires and begins scaling the wall to look on the other side. As he reaches the top, Kota appears and pushes Minoru down, reprimanding Minoru for his perverted behavior, Minoru curses Kota as he begins falling back down. The females of Class 1-A thank Kota for stopping Minoru, Kota accidentally looks at the Class 1-A females and falls into the males' hot springs from shock, Izuku catches Kota using One For All Full Cowl.

Izuku brings the unconscious Kota to the cabin’s office who has passed out from the fear of falling. In the office, Mandalay thanks Izuku for being there to help him. Izuku notes that Kota doesn’t like the concept of heroes and explains that he along with many others grew up in an environment where they wanted to become heroes, Izuku is surprised that Kota has a jaded view on heroes. Mandalay explains that there are people in the world who don’t like Heroes and if Kota had a normal upbringing, then he would have grown up to idolize heroes as well. Pixie-Bob arrives and tells Izuku that Kota's parents were once heroes who lost their lives on the job. Pixie-bob explains that two years ago, Kota's parents, Water Hose, sacrificed themselves to save civilians from a villain and as a result, they were hailed as true heroes. However, Kota was devastated by the deaths of his parents and believed they had abandoned him to focus on their jobs instead, which caused Kota to begin resenting heroes and villains. After his parents' deaths, Kota went to live with the Pussycats, only going there because he didn't have anywhere else to go. Upon hearing Kota’s backstory, Izuku is reminded of his encounter with Tomura and his similar resentments towards Heroes; Izuku begins to understand that not all people have the same opinion.

### Quirk Training

The next day at 5:30 AM, Class 1-A are outside the training camp cabin. Shota greets his students and tells them that they will undergo reinforcement training and explains that the training camp’s purpose is to strengthen their Quirks which will allow Class 1-A to obtain their temporary licenses. Shota tells Katsuki to perform the pitch from the Quirk Apprehension Test. Katsuki throws his pitch; however, Katsuki’s pitch records at 709.6 m, which is a minor increase from his last pitch. Some of Class 1-A are surprised with the lack of difference with Katsuki's new pitch as they were expecting it to be immensely higher. Shota explains that Class 1-A has gained much experience and definitely have grown, but the growth has only been emotionally and technical. Shota tells Class 1-A that it is now time to focus on physical growth; he notes they have now realized from Katsuki’s new pitch that their Quirks have improved only a little. Shota declares that from today onward, they will be focusing on upgrading their Quirks.

Class 1-B arrives at the Pussycats' cabin where the training camp is taking place. Class 1-B's teacher, the Blood Hero: Vlad King, informs his class that they will improve and upgrade their Quirks by pushing their Quirks to the limit which will make their Quirks stronger. Class 1-B then witness Class 1-A's training. Many from Class 1-A are pushing their Quirks to the limit in unfavorable conditions in order to strengthen their Quirks such as Katsuki using Explosions in boiling water. Some students from Class 1-B doubt if they, along with Class 1-A, can all be trained and supervised all at once. The Pussycats (the entire team) consisting of Mandalay, Pixie-Bob, Ragdoll, and Tiger introduce themselves and their Quirks to Class 1-B. Tiger asks any student with simple power augmenting Quirks to go to him. Izuku is seen stretching and Tiger asks Izuku to attack him, Izuku uses 5% Detroit Smash but Tiger is able to dodge Izuku's move effortlessly. Tiger retaliates by punching Izuku and notes that his muscle fibers have not yet teared. Shota explains to Class 1-B that the Pussycats have large area-of-effect Quirks that can help and train dozens of students all at once, saying that it is the best way of advancing everyone's Quirks in a short span of time. Tiger encourages Izuku to push his Quirk to the limit, Izuku gets up and understands that it is up to him now to discipline and train his body in order to use more of One For All's power. Izuku begins stretching his body vigorously again while Tiger encourages him further. Behind a tree, a silent Kota is watching.

Later that day at 4:00 PM, Pixie-Bob and Ragdoll provide Class 1-A food materials and tell them that they must make their own food from now on. Tenya sees this as survival skill training and motivates his class to start making curry. Class 1-A begin making their own curry, Mina asks Shoto to make some fire, causing Momo to remind everyone to not rely on someone else otherwise they won’t learn how to make food on their own. Shoto decides to help Mina anyway and lights a fire for her. After finishing their cooking, Class 1-A decide to eat their curry. Watching from afar, Kota notes that their training is a waste of time and leaves. Izuku notices Kota while walking back to his class.

### Kota's Hatred: Evil Makes Its Move

On a cliff, Kota is sitting alone. Suddenly, Izuku approaches Kota with a bowl of curry, surprising Kota. Izuku offers the curry to Kota after surmising that he didn't have anything to eat, having managed to find Kota due to his footprints; Kota harshly tells Izuku that he doesn’t want any of his food or company and demands that he leaves. Izuku notes that Kota's parents were the water-type Quirk users, Water Hoses. Kota is infuriated that Izuku knows about his parents and surmises that Mandalay told him. However, Izuku tells Kota that he knows their names after hearing about them. Izuku offers his condolences, but Kota doesn't take heed of it. Kota expresses his contempt for the current society of heroes and villains as well as for their usage of Quirks, angry that they only use Quirks to inflict violence. Feeling sympathetic towards Kota's circumstances, Izuku tells Kota a story about a Quirkless boy who rejected the reality of not having a Quirk; Izuku explains that the moral of the story is to accept reality as rejecting it only hurts one even more. Kota becomes infuriated and orders Izuku to leave. Izuku leaves the curry on the ground and apologizes, then walks away.

Meanwhile, a few kilometers away from the training camp, Dabi and Himiko along with two masked villains appear. One of the masked villains demands that they attack immediately. However, the other masked villain calms his compatriot as it is not time yet. Dabi tells his fellow villains that they are just sending a warning signal. Dabi notes that the Heroes will fall for the sake of a brighter future.

Himiko expresses her dislike for the equipment’s design she is wearing, but one of the masked villains inform her that the equipment functioning properly and purpose matter only. The other masked villain is still restless and desires action, causing Dabi to order his fellow villains to be quiet and that they will only attack when all ten of them are together. Soon, three other villains show up with one of them apologizing for arriving late. Dabi informs his fellow villains that the success rate of their job depends on their experience which they all have. Dabi informs them about their first attack which will show the Heroes that their peaceful lives are at an end.

The next day which is the third day of the lodge trip; it is the afternoon and Class 1-A along with Class 1-B are undergoing their Quirk strengthening training. Shota is instructing Mina, Hanta, Rikido, Eijiro, and Denki in their training. Shota gives advice to the remedials on increasing the power of their Quirks; Shota then scolds Ochaco and Yuga to train harder since they passed their tests by the skin of their teeth. Shota tells Class 1-A to not forget their fundamental drive as that will help them improve and progress. Izuku asks Shota if any more teachers will come to the lodge, Shota replies that they only came with the minimum amount of personnel needed to help with Class 1-A and Class 1-B’s training and as such no more teachers will be arriving with Ragdoll noting that they had All Might stay away due to him being a target. Pixie-Bob changes topic and informs the students that tonight they will be playing a game: a test of courage.

That evening, Class 1-A, 1-B, 1-C and 1-D are cooking themselves dinner. Shoto asks Izuku what he wanted to talk to All Might about, Izuku replies that he wanted to talk to him about Kota. However, Izuku sees that Kota is not around and surmises that he went back to his secret base. Izuku tells Shoto that Kota doesn’t like the idea of a superhero society with Quirks and is unable to help him out with words. Izuku asks Shoto for advice. Shoto tells Izuku that words alone will not help Kota since he would find reasoning from strangers to be pretentious. Shoto advises Izuku to tell him about what heroes are doing and the help heroes will bring to humanity. Shoto tells Izuku that he believes that action speaks louder than words. Izuku becomes encouraged from hearing Shoto’s advice and knows Shoto is correct. Class 1-A, 1-B, 1-C and 1-D finish dinner.

Later that night, Class 1-A, 1-B, 1-C and 1-D are preparing for the test of courage. However, Shota drags Mina, Rikido, Eijiro, Hanta, and Denki away because they must have review lessons with him. Afterwards, Pixie-Bob and Ragdoll explain the test of courage: the game will take place in the forest with both classes having an opportunity to be the scarers and scarees; Class 1-B will the scarers and Class 1-A the scarees. Class 1-B must scare as many students as possible to win while Class 1-A must find cards with their names on it to prove that they went into the forest. Classes will exchange turns after fifteen minutes and the game will begin again with Class 1-A being the scarers and Class 1-B being the scarees. The class that scared more students than the other class will be the winner. The test of courage begins.

Chiro Todoroki got to the cliffside, being told someone in one of the classes would meet him here. All he knew it was quirk training, not that it was necessarily quirk fear training this time [logical ruse] but the other knows the point to help Chiro get that not all Emitters are bad since he internally starts getting flight/fight mode with them. Also being told to come here he wondered why the fuck he was chosen for the job, being briefed that the person was needing to get over the fear of emitter quirks he was told ‘not to threaten killing him’. Seeing Chiro he waves over at him. and after a bit of a talk between the two of them Compress would stand atop the highest area of the cliff side out of the view of the students. He would be wearing some headphones to drown out the music of his partner for the fight Kumiko. He would be holding a marble containing a thick mist but was contemplating weather to use it or to use the confusion as his cover

And after a fight between the two of them nobody noticed but Bakugo feeling his shoulder being grabbed for a brief second he is turned into a marble and also Chiro was trapped in a marble. Compress would grab the marble and slip it into his pocket before making his way back up to Kumiko. He would laugh a little before overlooking the forest fire and getting ready to move to there next target. She nodded, fixing her hair, Kumiko stood up properly and glanced over to the forest fire. She said, awkwardly patting compress' arm before walking off back around the forest.

### Shoto Does Have Feelings

Shoto after training went to his cabin because he needed to take a bath and he needed a change of clothes because his clothes would be burned if he continued training so to avoid that he took the keys from his pocket and opened the door of the cabin, after opening the cabin he went inside and went to his room, the whole house was very quiet, it seemed that everyone was not in the place since there was a silence in the living room and in the kitchen, but while he was going to his room he heard a small sound, so that surprised him so while he was looking for where it was coming from, it sounded from the place he least expected, Eien's room, so he sighed a little to relax and knocked on the door.

Eien hesitated to answer him. She wasn't feeling okay, to put it gently she felt like shit. Yeah she had already showered now and they had made her feel much better and much cleaner but today was hard. Her head hurt from the music being blasted in her ears all day, her legs felt like they were going to fall off from running all day. She thought she would be able to relax and hang out with her partners. other people doing Shoto's hair and Eien doing his makeup. But then someone else wanted to join in and Eien said she couldn't because she thought it was just a date kinda thing. Then they got upset at Eien for saying no and apparently insinuating something. It upset her because she couldn't understand why Kyoka was upset with her. She just wanted to hang out with her partners. She felt like she didn't get to do that often because they were all in a class together, and Eien wasn't

After this little encounter they both spent some time together watching movies which Eien recommended, by the way these movies were about love something that Shoto had never seen in his life but if this made Eien happy, he would be happy, and he tried to learn from them since he didn't want to be a "bad boyfriend" for Eien, all this while Eien explained each scene to Shoto, this made it a good moment for both of them but out of nowhere the topic of a "kiss" came up, Eien joked about it but Shoto didn't know if Eien was joking or not since he was seen sad about it before, so Shoto to cheer Eien up a little bit gave him a little kiss, which fun fact, it was his first kiss, and he based it on the movie they saw to give it, and Eien gave it back but after that Eien promised Shoto to teach him more things but out of nowhere before they could continue talking something happened in the background, which didn't look good, and yes, the chaos had started.*.*

### The Vanguard Action Squad: The League of Villains Strike Back

Dabi goes into the denser forest having his hand lit and touched a tree it instantly going up in blue flames he laughed manically watching it go from tree to tree it reflecting in his eyes. Before you knew it the forest was on fire. Inferno got there to stabilize the fire and with his white flames he will continue to intensify the flames with a hotter and bigger scale and while he is doing that he looks at Dabi, also Anti runs in and double checks if any student or staff is around, after a quick look she plants 5 explosives around the forest. the detonators exploded creating a big explosion in the area

Outside the forest, the sword-wielding villain introduces himself as part of the League of Villains' Vanguard Action Squad while the other villain threatens Pixie-Bob’s life. Tiger prepares to take action, but the sword-wielding villain tells him to back off as Pixie-Bob’s life is decided by Stain’s word. Tenya wonders if Stain is responsible for this; the sword-wielding villain recognizes Tenya as the one who brought Stain’s terror to an end. The sword-wielding villain decides to reveal his name which is Spinner. Spinner unravels his sword (a sword clustered together by dozens of bladed weapons) and declares that he is the one who will carry on Stain’s dream. Tiger criticizes the villains for scarring Pixie-Bob and calls their actions reprehensible, Spinner notes that Heroes don’t have the luxury of a happy life and prepares to attack. Mandalay and Tiger prepare to battle Spinner, Mandalay tells Tiger that she has left the safety of the students in Ragdoll’s hands. Mandalay tells the Class 1-A students to leave and orders Tenya to take the lead. As Tenya leads his classmates away, Izuku tells Tenya to go on ahead as he informs Mandalay about the villains’ objective.

Back in the smoke covered forest, Kendo carries Yui and Juzo with her Quirk, trying to find a safe place. Kendo runs into Tetsutetsu and Ibara who are wearing masks. Tetsutetsu informs Kendo that Momo Yaoyorozu was nearby and made masks for them. He also tells Kendo that Yosetsu is leading some of Class 1-A to the Class 1-B safe zone for aid. Tetsutetsu gives Kendo, Yui and Juzo masks. After Kendo and Yui put their masks on with Yui putting a mask on the unconscious Juzo, Kendo thinks that they should head back to the facility. However, Tetsutetsu refuses to flee and decides to stay and fight, telling Kendo to take care of Ibara. Kendo questions Tetsutetsu’s actions, to which Tetsutetsu tells Kendo why he has decided to fight; Tetsutetsu knows that the only way to become a true Hero and save people from evil is to expose themselves to danger which will allow them to grow into true heroes and promises to defeat the villains.

Meanwhile, Kota is confronted by the masked villain. He is communicated by Mandalay who asks him to return to the facility and apologizes for being unable to help him. The masked villain comments on Kota’s stylish hat and wonders if the boy will trade the hat for the mask he despises. However, Kota begins running away as the villain takes off his mask. The villain uses his Quirk to jump in front of Kota. Kota sees the villain’s face and becomes shocked. Kota remembers watching the news about the villain who murdered his parents, Water Hose. The villain has a simple augmenting strength Quirk and his most defining feature is the deep scar across his left eye left by the Water Hose duo. Kota realizes that the villain in front of him is none other than the villain who murdered his parents. The scarred villain prepares to attack while Kota cries and becomes immobilized from fear.

Suddenly, Izuku appears and saves Kota from the villain’s attack. Izuku analyses the situation, his phone is broken as a result of tumbling to the ground from saving Kota and didn’t tell anyone about his location, thus he doesn’t have any way of communicating for backup. Izuku notes that his top priority is to protect Kota from the villain since he is the only one standing in the villain’s way. With no other options available, Izuku decides to fight the villain to protect Kota. Izuku tells Kota to not worry because he will save him no matter what; Izuku activates One For All Full Cowl and prepares to fight the villain who murdered Kota’s parents.

Outside the forest, Mandalay fights Spinner. Spinner is about to strike Mandalay with his sword. However, Mandalay uses Telepath to distract her opponent, allowing Mandalay to evade. Mandalay slashes Spinner with her cat claws, injuring Spinner. Seeing her fellow villain in trouble, Magne uses her Quirk to pull Mandalay towards herself. Suddenly, Tiger punches Magne which frees Mandalay from Magne's grasp. Tiger punches Magne again, but this time Magne is able to block Tiger's attack. While getting up, Mandalay informs Tiger that she is unable to communicate with Ragdoll, which she considers strange since she normally answers her immediately.

### Izuku vs. Muscular

Meanwhile, Izuku Midoriya prepares to fight the villain while protecting Kota. The villain takes off his cloak and activates his Quirk. The battle between Izuku and the villain begins. However, Muscular overpowers Izuku in both offense and defense with Izuku barely being able to keep up. Izuku is shocked at the incredible strength and speed of the villain's Quirk. Izuku activates One For All Full Cowl again and punches the villain. Surprisingly, Izuku's enhanced punch doesn't do anything against the villain. The villain smacks Izuku onto the ground again and reveals that his Quirk is Muscle Augmentation which enables him to augment the muscle fibers that sit beneath his skin, granting him great strength and speed. Muscular mocks Izuku's Quirk and laughs at Izuku's pitiful strength.

Just as the villain is about to finish Izuku off. Kota throws a rock at Muscular. Kota asks the villain if he tormented his parents just as he is tormenting Izuku. Muscular is surprised that the Water Horse duo had a child and considers their meeting to be fate. Kota blames the villain for his evil actions. However, the villain criticizes Kota for trying to put the fault on him while admitting that he does not hold any grudges for the loss of his eye. Muscular mocks the Water Horse Duo for thinking that they could stop him with their pathetic power and prepares to strike Kota.

Suddenly, Izuku jumps at Muscular using One For All Full Cowl, telling him that he is the one at fault. Izuku analyzes that the villain's speed surpasses his own and the only slight chance of victory is to close their speed gaps. Izuku punches the villain with his broken arm, trapping it between the villain's muscle fibers. The villain mocks Izuku for thinking that his plan to put them in a position where speed doesn’t matter will work since his inferior strength won't save him. However, Izuku tells the villain that his job as a hero is to put his life on the line for the sake of others; with no other choice, Izuku decides to unleash his Quirk's full power: One For All 100%.

Izuku uses One For All 100% against the villain, which blasts the villain with great force into the cliffside and also partially destroys the cliff due to the great impact. Kota is sent flying away, but Izuku manages to grab Kota’s shirt with his mouth and drags him back onto the cliff. After apologizing, Izuku decides that they should quickly escape while the villain is incapacitated. However, the villain is revealed to have used his Muscle Augmentation to reduce the impact of Izuku’s One For All 100%, although Izuku’s attack did injure the villain. Muscular compliments Izuku while Izuku is shocked that his full power did nothing Under stress and unable to think of a plan, Izuku tries talking his way out of this fight by asking the villain about the League of Villains’ goal. Muscular doesn't care about Izuku's question and joined the League of Villains just to have fun. Muscular removes his artificial eye with another one to show that he is being serious.

### Terror of the Vanguard Action Squad's Muscular: Izuku's Unwavering Heroism!

Izuku orders Kota to grab on to him, Izuku uses One For All Full Cowl to jump and run away from the villain. Izuku manages to avoid the villain’s first attack, but barely avoids the villain’s second strike which sends Izuku and Kota tumbling to the cliff again. The heavily injured Izuku believes going to the facility is the best option but realizes that his speed won't be able to outrun Muscular. Izuku quickly forgets about the plan considering the grave circumstances he is in and decides that he has no choice but to defeat the villain. Izuku tells Kota to run back to the facility as fast as he can the second he clashes with the villain. Kota doubts Izuku’s strategy due to his attacks proving to be futile. Izuku uses 100% Detroit Smash against Muscular which keeps him at bay. Izuku orders Kota to escape while he still can but the villain considers Izuku’s struggle to be in vain. The villain begins overpowering Izuku’s attack and begins pushing him into the ground while demanding blood and death. Izuku is barely able to hold back the villain’s strength and apologizes to his mother and All Might; Izuku remembers that All Might surpassed his 100% when he fought Nomu.

Izuku is shoved into the ground by the villain. Suddenly, Kota blasts water at the villain, demanding that he stop. However, the villain says that he will kill Kota after he is done with Izuku. Furious, Izuku refuses to let the villain kill Kota and begins pushing back the villain, eventually pushing the villain off him. Izuku pours out all of his strength, going over his limits, using 100% Delaware-Detroit Smash against the villain, a powerful smack with incredible force that smashes the villain into the cliff. The villain’s artificial eye pops out and the villain becomes incapacitated due to the great force of Izuku’s attack.

Kota is in disbelief that Izuku would go so far to protect him even though he doesn’t know anything about him, as he remembers what Mandalay told him; that one day he will understand why his parents sacrificed themselves to protect the lives of others when he goes through a similar situation. He will also understand that Heroes risk their lives to save people so that one day someone can call them “My Hero”. Kota cries in disbelief while Izuku yells in triumph.

At the League of Villains’ hideout, Kurogiri wonders if the Vanguard Action Squad will be able to handle the mission. Tomura assures Kurogiri that they will be fine. Tomura decides that it is not time for him to reappear and begins to comment on his gameplay. Tomura realizes that his gameplay was faulty when he first attempted to murder All Might and now has decided to let his pawns take down the ones up high before aiming for the final boss. Tomura explains that he intends for the Vanguard Action Squad to make a crack in the superhuman society, noting that the Vanguard Action Squad’s endeavors at Class 1-A and 1-B's training camp will be a blow for the Pro Heroes whether they succeed or not. Kurogiri questions if the Vanguard Action Squad means nothing to him, but Tomura rebuffs Kurogiri’s claim, saying that he respects the Vanguard Action Squad’s strength and personally hopes they succeed. Tomura continues to say that while they have their differences, they can rely on each other because both he and Kurogiri are not the only ones oppressed by society’s rules.

Back at the cliff, Izuku has defeated Muscular who is now unconscious. Izuku notes that his job isn’t finished and must inform Shota and the Pussycats about the enemy’s strength. Izuku tells Kota that they can leave the unconscious Muscular where he is because he won’t be waking up anytime soon. Izuku says to Kota that the wildfires will be a detriment and tells Kota that they need his Quirk. Izuku asks Kota to use his Quirk to save them just as he saved Kota. Izuku has Kota jump onto his back and starts running back to the facility.

Meanwhile, Dabi has attacked Shota. However, Shota easily dodges Dabi’s attack. Shota counterattacks and easily overwhelms Dabi using his Capturing Weapon and melee combat. Having apprehended Dabi, Shota demands information, but Dabi refuses. Shota sees the wildfires and wonders what is going on, Tenya, Mashirao, Minoru, and Koji arrive at the facility. Suddenly, Dabi breaks free of Shota’s grasp but Shota still has his Capturing Weapon around Dabi. Suddenly, Dabi begins melting into a pubble and disappears. Shota orders Tenya, Mashirao, Minoru, and Koji to go into the facility. Shota decides to head into the forest.

Somewhere in the forest, it is revealed that the Dabi Shota was fighting was a clone courtesy of a villain called Twice with a duplicating Quirk. The real Dabi asks the duplicating Quirk villain to make two doubles of him so that he can resume his fight with Shota, to which Twice complies.

Izuku and Kota are running through the forest and spot Shota. Izuku decides to leave Kota’s protection to Shota and heads off to seek Mandalay. However, Shota stops Izuku before he can run off, asking Izuku to relay a message to her.

### The Battle Has Started: Venom Striker vs Eraser Head!

Venom had chosen his spot to wait for Aizawa. It was in the trees by the parking spot a big open space where he would have a view of everything. He had also taken the liberty of disable any vehicles by shooting one of their tiers out with arrows and now he lied in wait ready to take the next shot. He didn't act rashly as he knew patience would be the trick here. Aizawa had gone to the forest it being to thick with smoke , blue and white fire for him to get into well enough he checked the other spots getting to the parking lot seeing the vehicles disabled. Hes in his full hero gear this time, goggles on his face and his scarf in a hand as he runs in being as prepared as he can. "Got you." Venom thought to himself as he let the arrow loose on a direct course towards Aizawa. He would wait to see if the arrow hit or not before he would move locations to another nearby tree as quietly as he could all while keeping one eye on Aizawa.

He heard the arrow turing his body enough and blinked before he opened his eyes in the direction of the tree it came from not knowing venom has a mutant quirk so it's for nothing on his own quirk. Aizawa's hair floats and so does his scarf before he changes directions going for the last place the arrow hit and using his scarf to grab onto something. Venom wouldn't reply to Aizawa's demands as while his presence might be known his exact location wasn't known. Thanks to him moving locations he had avoid the scarf. "I'll get probably only get one more shot off before he charges this location. Better make it count." He thought to himself. He turned on the bows laser shot function and took aim once more pulling back on the handle and letting it loose. A purple laser blast flew out of his bow straight towards Aizawa with the aim of one of two results. Kill him or damage his scarf if he avoided it. Aizawa missed whatever is whatever was in that tree before his acrf gets damaged and he has to stomp on some of it great hes going have to get it fixed and bes down a good bit of his support item. He has to blink his head

After the battle keep going, Venom when sent the stinger to try and stab once at Aizawa and deliver a dose of venom if it hit. (meaning you can dodge this attack). He made a groan getting slammed into the car standing up a second He saw the second Stinger Opting again for his quirk as he moves nothing changed hes has a mutant quirk. Again making his hair fall back down when he finds out because the stings doing lok like tech and they move to much like an extension of ones body. He formulates a plan using the surroundings that he is able. This time Venom decided to also push the offensive and ran at Aizawa as he ran at him and swung his bladed bow aiming for his vital areas. He pulled on the one he attached to the tree giving him lift off the ground but still got caught by venoms blade it hitting two spots his side and his other theigh but not exactly lethal just hurts and is bleeding a bit

He uses a scarf wrap, grabing onto the stingers and using them for momentum to hit Venom in his chest and he goes in another tree taking the tied stingers with him seeing will he use the bow or do something else. Venom was pushed back a few feet from the kick. Once he regained his composure he took a moment to asses the situation knew that pulling would be a bad idea right now so instead he used his stingers like grappling hooks to pull him in closer and hit Aizawa with his own kick to the chest. He then used his blade bow to cut his stingers free and pull them all the way back into his arms. Aizawa might be tired and having some cuts, his scarf down to a couple [3] stands by now those gone and hes going to be more in trouble. He needs to switch areas, an area he can be less open in this parking lot isnt it. He coughs a bit the wind knocked from his chest some when venom kicked him. He starts running for a more rocky area

### The Battle Intensifies: UA Students vs Shisuru!

Yuri slams into the meadow after getting shot in his wing and stands up. Shisuru laughs cocking his gun walking up to yuri. Yuri hears the fun and freezes, knowing that sound his mind starts going crazy, his pupils go small as he looks at Shīsurū. Shīsurū laughs kicking Yuri, watching him slide across the meadow, he continues laughing while walking up to Yuri. Yuri gets up, he gets into a fighting stance, shaking, obviously scared, it’s been years since he’s been like this. Shisuru kicks Yuri in the shin, grabs Yuri by the back of the head and knees Yuri in the face

After a little fight between Shisuru and Yuri. Hayashida, currently flying over, saw Yuri’s flair and looked done on the situation below before making his wings into a large hammer and falling from the sky, slamming the hammer on Shīsurū. Shīsurū laughs, he takes out his contacts in time to see Tsueno come down and he easily dodges it. Yuri wipes the blood from his mouth and drops the flare, he’s shaking, badly, he’s scared for everyone and everything, he hears Tsueno so he looks up, he still doesn’t have much faith tho since Yuri has already seen how well Shīsurū can fight use a gun. Yuri being yuri, he didn’t want his friend getting hurt so what did he do? He rushed in, attacking Shīsurū he gets some good hits by he notices Shīsurū’s smile is gone. Shīsurū puts the gun to Yuris side and pulls the trigger, the bullet can be seen coming out from the back part of his jacket, hitting a tree after it went through Yuri.

Hayashida would dive into the man and his intent was to get shot because that makes him superhuman but he didn’t know that. He was watching his friend slowly die infront of him and he wouldn’t stand for it. Shīsurū laughs throwing Yuri at Tsueno and cocks the gun again when Yuri his Tsueno there was no blood from the previous shot, only Tsueno know this but the bullet didn’t even hit Yuri, it just went though his clothes, the bullet didn’t even touch Yuris body. Hayashida would absorb the impact of Yuri hitting his body and gain some power to bolt towards the man with the power of about half the force that was used to throw Yuri at him and he used the other half to punch him. Shīsurū gets punched and just coughs up spit, after that Shīsurū held onto Tsueno, he grabbed the kid by the shoulders and kneed him in the lung area, the whole point was to knock Tsuenos breath out. Shion follows the gun noise and rushes in at full speed, she sees yuri all beaten and messed up. She got really mad charges towards Shisuru

Hanako had ran from her cabin all the way to the meadow where Yuri was being attacked at, although she hated using her quirk to fight she had to find some way to save him. As she had arrived saw what was unfolding in front of her, she felt a spark but it wasn't a good one. Little by little sparks of rage began to build up inside of her, and for the first time in her life as Yuri and Hayashida were fighting, and she couldn't say anything as all she saw was red. She used her hands and started to use all the sounds around her to project a sonic wave.He would take the power of the kick in a different direction and aim for his neck with a swift chop with the force of two kicks, a drop from 100ft up, a few kicks and the original force. Shīsurū gets his with the sonic waves, his hears and eyes ring, his eyes start to vibrate as he then gets hit by tsueno, he almost blacks out but he stays awake, he jumps back and pulls Yuri with him and puts the gun to Yuris head. Yuri looks at all of his friends coming to help him, his eyes small, a blood trail was behind him from his foot as he just stared at them, shaking badly

Hanako takes a deep breath, before letting out an ear piercing scream to empower her sonic waves as she activated her quirk again, trying to make him let go to Yuri and his gun so Shion or Hayashido could have an opening to disarm Shīsurū. Hayashida would turn his remaining arm into a long scythe blade and slice at the man. Shion doesn’t care anymore, she pulls out a butterfly knife out of her pocket and aims it at the strange man. Shīsurū points the gun at them and pulls the trigger, with one bullet it hits shions shoulder, Hana’s side, and Tsuenos leg, after seeing he hit all 3 he laughs and says with a cocky remark. Yuri sees everyone get hurt and loses it, he stops shaking and a fist forms, he stands up and punches Shīsurū right in the jaw, Yuri activated his quirk even tho he only has 1 good wing, he jumps up with Shīsurū then slams him into the ground and starts dragging him along the ground Hanako falls to the ground with a loud groan after Shīsurū shoots her in her side, she began to start bleeding heavily as she tried to hold her hand over her wound to stop the bleeding but that clearly didn't work. Hayashida would turn to his slime form, his body seemingly glitchy and weird

After the whole fight started to go to an end, Shīsurū seen Dabi saying flee before his phone broke so he grabbed his grappling hook, even tho he’s weak and can’t walk. Shisuru used his grappling to escape. Yuri gave Shion his other sleeve to bite onto while Akira healed her wound, after he was done he noticed Shīsurū got away and had a pissed tone in his voice. As Hanako tried to fight back the urge of losing her consciousness, her eyelids became heavier and heavier before they completely shut. She fell limp in Yuri's arms as she lost consciousness, but all she could think about was if the others were okay. Shion took off her mask and kira uses his quirk to heal her wound. She tries to hold it in, clenching his fist on the ground at the same time pissed off when she sees the villain running away. Once it was done Kira took his hand of Shion's shoulder and stood back up and turned to Tsueno. Yuri may not seem the brightest but he will do anything to help his Comrades, especially his gf and his best friend

### The Dark Side Wavers: Harder Than They Think It Would Be

Anti sits down at the entrance of the cave and looks over to the destruction they made. She pulls put her bottle of water and starts drinking as chaos happens They dont have a true ice quirk so at most there been getting out small fires with enough frost and building up their cold to try and help before seeing someone at the caves and flies up there it being Phantoms voice, she looked up and sees a kid finds her somehow, Anti drops the bottle and stood up with her hands on her pocket, after hearing Phantom she sighed and facepalmed after the boy made that statement. Anti pulled out her dual pistols with her customizable power bullets loaded ending in this two fighting

The pro-hero eventually made his way deeper into the forests, trying his best to steer away from the burning trees as he practically trickled with sweat from the temperature. Pressing a button on his wrist to activate the thermoregulation in his suit, letting out a sigh of relief afterwards. He then held out the palm of his hand, a jet of snow shooting from it and drenching a nearby tree. Putting the fire out as if he was a human fire extinguisher. Inferno was still in the same place where he started and even though the fire was lowering the intensity a little bit, he noticed that nothing was stopping the fire so while he was calm he felt something approaching, but maybe it was just a tree falling down so he didn't take much importance but after that he heard a scream, so he knew he had company, after so much he would finally have action so since he is not dumb enough to say "Me!", so he decided with his other hand to throw a blast trying to aim the pro hero while saying

Kit, also known as Frosti, raised his hands defensively. A wall of snow appearing in front of him, absorbing the blast of fire but turning into water right after. Causing the pro hero to let out a slight chuckle, sheepishly scratching the back of his neck.. he definitely wasn’t made for fighting people with fire quirks. He then pointed his finger up to the sky, snow beginning to fall heavily. Though it turned into water rather quickly due to the heat, it was probably going to quench the flames in due time. Inferno then left the place where he was setting the fire and walked very quietly with his hands in his pockets, since he was bored and a little fight wouldn't be bad at all, so while he was quiet he stood next to a tree and then he took both hands out of his pockets, he couldn't use all his fire as much of it was used to cover the whole forest with fire so it would be difficult to use all the fire in one moment, so he was somewhat limited, after that he looked at the hero and Kit simply placed his hands on his hips, looking towards inferno with a raised eyebrow… though due to the ski mask on his face it was hard to tell his expressions the raised eyebrow was visible through the orange tinted ski goggle’s he was wearing.

Inferno with both hands covered in fire simply looked at the hero, who at first glance didn't look very intimidating but anyway, he couldn't be confident since anything was possible, but after that he started to walk forward and Inferno didn't waste any second after that and stretched out his hand opening the palm of his hand and started throwing a number of 3 white flame blasts trying to have a bit of an advantage since this didn't seem like it would end quickly but he couldn't be confident, anything was possible. Kit said with a simple sigh, shrugging his shoulders. The snowfall from the sky increasing slightly as he too prepared to fight the villain. He’d trained to fight against fire quirks before in order to overcome his weakness, but still this was going to be an uphill battle for him. He knew that he couldn’t win an extended fight against someone with a fire quirk, if he was stuck on the defensive he’d just get whittled down until he couldn’t fight anymore . So rather than hold back he decided to go all in from the beginning, conjuring a massive wave of snow in hopes of burying Inferno and also smothering some of the flames on the trees.

After the fight Suneater went to help Kit Watson and it ended with the villain escaping Kit simply watched as Inferno fled the scene, looking up towards Inferno and simply holding up a middle finger towards him. Not responding to his remark about him being a 'hero wannabe', rather than waste any words on the villain he just held up another middle finger as he blast himself away. Though after hearing Suneater's concern he turned to face him, letting out a slight chuckle.

### The Vanguard Action Squad's Endgame: Eien Gets Caught and Eraser Head is in Danger!

Eien after leaving Shoto's side started to get chased by Dabi who figured she would be around somewhere, he has the speaker and playlist ready thanks to Compress for that he didn't have to listen to it for long to know it would work or search that just would have been ugh. Eien was trying her best to avoid running into fires and falling trees. It was really hard when the entire forest was going up in flames. But she made it to these ruins, which really wasn't safe but it was a nice little breather. She was lucky to find someone she recognized here. But...why was he here. He would face her having a smile on his face not a normal one, but one that that shows evil and no good. Giving a small insane sounding laugh. Eien's heart dropped. She trusted him, he was her friend through the cats. She told him her weaknesses. Everything she told him, she was just giving him information on how to take her down. If she wasn't so stressed she would have burst into tears, even so she did cry a little. He holds the speaker in his hand in a way she can see before playing the classical music at the max volume, he hates it but he can tolerate it

Eien's quirk had activated as soon as he laughed. She was nervous about dying, and even more nervous about her partners getting hurt by him. Yeah she didn't have music but she had her phone. The one that was very loosely stored in he pocket. But as soon as she heard the music she knew she didn't stand a chance. Her vision got blurry and her eyes got heavy. She didn't remember much after everything went kinda dark. But she remembered falling to the ground and she remember her phone falling out of her pocket. Guess no one can track her through her phone now, After she started falling to the ground he grabbed her not wanting Shigaraki to think he hur her when just she fell asleep and he turned the music off leaving the speaker with her phone Dabi might need the Ipod later shoving that in his pocket. Putting her on his shoulder. He did take advantage and use her phone to say "You're too late" in the chat with her phone before leaving needing Compress for Eien hes going to get fired of carrying her around fast

Shoto when he saw that Eien didn't answer the messages or even the calls he knew that something bad happened, he didn't believe that it was something chill, something in his pessimistic head believed that a villain caught her so he ran as fast as he could to where she went to where Eien had gone checking his GPS, just like he did with Izuku when Stain happened, so after a few minutes he arrived at the place and saw the cell phone on the ground with the missed calls, he didn't understand what was going on, what did Eien have to do in all this, Shoto imagined the worst so he kept running towards where Eien was supposed to be.

While Shoto went to find Eien Venom Striker chased after Aizawa with ease showing that  he had no problem in rocky terrain either. He was just as good here as he was in the forest. As he chased after him he fired another laser bolt from his bow. Aizawa is taking not of venom, seems hes doing well here too. He looks for something in his belt, anything that might be useful for this sort of situation. As hes said cant just have one trick with villains, though none of his work for this situation. The lazer bolt hot his shoulder and he half held in the sound and found a place to hide for now at least. "How long does he think he can run for I wonder? He'll have to fight me head on eventually." Venom thought to himself. He kept following him into the rocky terrain using his parkour skills to easily navigate it and starts to flank Aizawa. He took aim once more and fired another laser bolt at him aiming for his legs.

He can hear venom moving around before another shot gets fired off he just dodged it. He can hide but he needs to fight head on. Finding what he can in the ruins he uses them at his front before trying to hit him in his back. He can hear venom moving around before another shot gets fired off he just dodged it. He can hide but he needs to fight head on. Finding what he can in the ruins he uses them at his front before trying to hit him in his back. Aizawa is agile but him being hurt and tired more than usual slowed him down getting slashed in some of his joints and just off a vital point [meaning almost hit vital but moved enough it didn't hit that but still damaged] having him roll-slide to a stop pain showing more on his face and definently harder on fighting. He thinks still showing his determination not for himself, that wouldn't have kept him going so long but the students. Venom circled him slowly as if to taunt him in a way.

He knows he isn't going to win if he doesn't step it up so he he does putting more weight on a leg than a other and using his last scarf uses it to grab venoms head so he can jump sending him into the ground with his hood foot. Much like Mic Aizawa is one major inconvenience away from a villain or villain like arc. After hes left open since he used what he was able bit got a good shot in.after a attack from Venom, Aizawa isn't fast enough to dodge it completely with how injured he is though his refelxs made him try getting hit in the back by them leaving a shallow x mark in his back and made him fall on his side sliding

Aizawa is so much pain it makes it hard to move hes knows he doesn't have a chance past this he needs help he just hope hell be alive to receive it, he hits a button in the chat Nezu made sure to have one for all the staff ans tried for the heros since never know when you'll need it and he definitely did. Aizawa saw Vemoms eye full of malice and the blade for him, hes not gonna die yet but he definitely got impaled but with quick action and surgery hell be okay [not killing Aizawa off yet mind you] falling over and holding the wound and passed out from all the pain looking like he died. A voice shouted out from the woods, followed by a slight crackling sound as a javelin of what seemed to be ice shot out from the tree line. The projectile in question being aimed towards the newly opened hole in Venom Strikers mask. The voice from the tree line then revealed himself. Stepping out from the cover of a bush, revealing the low ranking hero known as Frosti. While he may have only stood at a height of 5’2” it was clear enough that he was annoyed. So annoyed in fact that the surrounding temperature had dropped a good 30 degrees, slowly dropping lower.

Venom would turn toward the crack and be able to just dodge it in the nick of time. before jumping back a a couple of times. Venom would turn toward the crack and be able to just dodge it in the nick of time. before jumping back a a couple of times. Kit managed to slide to the side, conjuring snow beneath his feet and moving it to the right in order to slide himself out of the way of the laser bolt. He didn’t care that Venom was darting away, being more worried for Aizawa than anything. He then continued to move the snow beneath his feet, sliding over towards Aizawa. Standing between him and where Venom was shooting from. Venom would then start to make his way to the rendezvous point as fast as possible instead of fighting more. Using his parkour skills and acrobatics he was able to make quick headway.

Kit simply let out a sigh of relief before turning back towards Aizawa, reaching a gloved hand down to check the others pulse. While most of his expression couldn’t be seen due to the ski-mask, his eyes were quite clearly filled with worry. He said quietly, leaning down towards the other and placing his hand gently on the wound. A thin layer of condensed snow covering it on both sides, the cold slowing the bleeding and numbing the pain while the solid snow also acted as a bandage. Kit then picked the hero up, holding Aizawa in his arms, before conjuring a mound of snow beneath his feet. Moving it forwards to cause him to slide at fast speeds through the forest.

### Victory for the League of Villains: Katsuki and Eien are Captured!

Hes getting real tired of lugging her on his shoulder which mean he switched to carrying her in both arms. Muttering, while making sure he keeps her from being hurt hes not having Shigaraki throw a tantrum because of that. After a while Twice arrived at the place where you would think that Dabi was because although this was a simple clone in the form of Dabi, at the end of the day it was Twice disguised as Dabi but upon arriving at the place he began to take a breath of air resting a little and while resting the disguise of Dabi faded away. Dabi shifting Eien his his arms lightly his expression showing nothing yet hes done with this, not that new of a face

Before Dabi could give Twice the unconscious body of Eien a great wall of ice separated them which did not seem possible to reach the place, it was a wall quite fast without the purpose of hitting them, it only wanted that they did not leave or take Eien, who made this wall was no one else than Shoto Todoroki, who was following the trail where Eien was since it was the closest route to where he found the cell phone, so after that he said. Shoto with that cold and serious look that characterizes him was gone, as he now had an angry and somewhat worried face for the simple fact that they took Eien, and also he doesn't know if they hurt her so while he was standing he looked at the two villains. Twice's clone when he saw the wall he managed to dodge it but he was not even close to grab Eien, since the wall appeared so fast that it was impossible and when he jumped he saw the boy who was standing on the other side, he was one of those who he could hurt but not kill, he was on the list that Dabi sent him so while he landed on the ground he said. Dabi as he saw the ice wall giving a small smirk turning to Shoto. Though responded to Twice, He shifted her holding Eien by the back of her shirt now still having the smirk, with his hand in small blue flames. Shoto has no way of knowing if he would or not as he seems so dead serious on it, Dabi cant burn her hed be defying Shiggy's orders if he did

Shoto seeing how Dabi had grabbed Eien didn't know what to do, he was cold because he didn't understand what was happening, why Eien of all people? What they want to do with her and why they decided to take her, he couldn't attack since he doesn't know if they would burn her or not, everything was against him at that moment but he didn't plan to tell Dabi anything about what he knows about him and Eien, he now has a new enemy, one that messed with something he never had to touch and it was Eien, while he was still standing he thought about the advice Eien gave him, which was not to focus too much, so he tried to relax but before he could do anything he felt someone grab his back, pinning his arms and let out a little "Tck ". Twice took advantage of the distraction that Dabi gave him and grabbed Shoto's hands to his back, while holding him he tried to look for the knife he had but he didn't find it, that's right, he didn't have the knife since he dropped it in his way there and while he was holding Shoto he said. Dabi melted the ice wall Shoto made since his hand was still with fire before shaking it slightly

Shoto after seeing how he was just being calm while endangering a person next to him couldn't stand it and scattered a fire pillar in order to get Twice off of him since if they kept holding him he wasn't going to be able to do anything so as he continued with that he was able to get Twice off of him because it melted and started running towards where Dabi was since he was able to get Twice off of him, and as he ran while his hand started to freeze because he was preparing an attack since he was ready to be able to start fighting this villain, he wasn't going to let them take Eien, he would do his best to avoid it. He could end Shoto right there, but he doesn't simply making a blast of his blue flames to get him to back off while holding Eien at most probably getting light soot on her, He tosses Twice a pocket knife [you can't tell me the guy doesn't have some sort of other thing on him, also learned since his fire burnt bacon man], Shoto when he saw the blast directly he covered himself with a wall of ice, but when he looked behind he saw how Twice was getting up so with his other hand he gave a blast of fire to prevent him from interrupting the fight, and while he removed Twice from the encounter he simply let the blast pass while his ice couldn't take any more but after that he slid with his ice on the left side and there he created another wall which separated Dabi from Eien, that wall divided them so while he was already face to face with Dabi he asked

While Shoto was with Dabi, Twice after receiving the blast started to get up, the poor guy was cooked but because of Shoto's weak control with his fire part he got up hurting his chest and while walking he saw how neither Dabi nor Todoroki were there, but Eien was alone so he started to run but he tripped on with the knife because of the overconfidence, Dabi isnt pleased Shoto separated him from Eien, He could be more reckless with his fire in a sense as he actually made a larger blast on Shoto's front to try hitting him again on his back side, Shoto hearing that Dabi already knew Eien before confused him even more, how Eien knew him and why she didn't tell him anything exactly about his this guy, but he had to avoid thinking too much since his goal here was to save Eien, that was all he had to do, and while he looked at Dabi he listened, He couldn't finish speaking because when he heard that he forgot his other partners he was in shock, he focused a lot on Eien and slightly forgot about Denki, how could something like that happen, he promised to be someone who saved lives, a good boyfriend, and he forgot two of his partners but then he relaxed and covered half of his face in ice and the other half in fire and stared at him and said.

Turing his head up a bit as he smirked more his body alight in blue flame, Shoto after that quickly with his right hand made one big ice spikes directly towards Dabi with the chance of hurting him, although It did made him think about the manipulation attempt that this one made, he was used to being manipulated by his father and everything but the longer he has lived, the longer he was being less propense of being manipulated, he was confident that he would finish quickly with this guy, and after defeating him he would take Eien to a safe place and he would go quickly to where Denki and Jirou are to save or help them, but he has total faith that they will be fine and after the attack, his left hand started to generate heat. He uses his fire to help with the spike though still got him on the side, He holds out one of his hands building up his fire and giving a shot with it, Shoto didn't see the blast coming from his side and received it completely but by having his cold side activated he was able to soothe the burn, he still received the most part of the blast, and after that when the blue blast was over Shoto was gone, but with his ice he slipped and created another big spike after being on the side, he had to end this quickly because the longer he delayed, the longer his teammates and partners would be in danger

Dabi isnt having much trouble with the cold Shoto is creating by the ice hes technically made for it. His skin is just starting to smoke by now leaving a slight burning smell in the air, he knows he has to watch for Eien, but as it seems hes not hitting near her or twice his focus being Shoto it becoming clearer in his eyes. As he keeps attacking with his fire, Shoto couldn't attack without thinking, it would be something tone if he did so while watching that his rival was completely confident with what happened, since it seemed that he knew that his fire was weak but, that didn't mean that he doesn't use it since he started to practice it and besides, he uses it as a last resort so while he continues sliding with his ice he stops and gives a blast with his left arm full of flames while he prepared his foot with some ice, Turning to quite a brawl here, hearing shoto would be attacking with both just furthered his look starting to not let up some. His arms giving off more of a black smike and it starting to smell more like something burning

Suddenly, under the cover of the smoke and frenzy between the two, Compress arrives and grabs Zandanka, turning her into a marble, he would keep it held in his hand as his work would done and he would message Kurogiri, Shoto after that he turned to the side and Twice's clone had already melted, but there was someone else, seriously they wanted so urgently to kidnap Eien that 3 villains were here? something was not right here so Shoto created a big wall of Spikes to remove Dabi from above, without hurting him, and after that with his other arm he gave a blast of fire with the hope of hurting the other villain (Mr Compress), Dabi got a bit separated from Compress and Shoto thanks to the spikes having to keep back his fire stopping and just black smoke comming off his hands, Compress would wait in the corner for the right moment to exfil but just to help out, he flicked a marble above Shoto and it opened to reveal a boulder to fall onto him, He got his way back to Compress watching what Shoto would do next, Another would be joining shortly he saw the blue fire with Shotos and the ice meaning something big

Shoto kept running straight to catch Mr Compress but before he could think about it he saw how a marble was above him, so when he saw that it was transformed into a boulder he directly slid with his ice but barely managed to dodge that, and already on the ground he got on his knees and created a ramp with his ice to walk on it and already at the tip of the ramp he decided to jump and with his ice-covered fist he tried a punch from above. Shoto had to somehow fight now against 3 villains, who had Eien trapped in what seemed to be a marble but he wanted to at least have Eien and be able to get her out of there, he didn't look for anything else putting his body to the limit and using his fire side which although he knows he is weak he still uses it, he promised to give everything for the sake of his partners, so he was willing to do it. Compress would still be hiding as he would hold the 3 marbles in his hand. He would keep a tight hold and get ready to fight, but he would chill for now

Phantom got here after seeing Compress throw a bolder at Shoto then hide using their own quirk to not be seen by the usual eye the temperature around not dropping too much as they're getting the idea of the cold compression going behind Compress and going back visible not holding back as not exactly happy upperclassmen hit him in the back with a short staff. They aren't super strong but that would really hurt and be alarming and hiet having him drop what was in his hand, Shoto after trying the hit he missed it and hit the ground creating a slight area with ice spikes, but before he could hit Compress he noticed the other student and when he saw him he didn't know if he was relieved that he had help or felt a little irritated because this was something he had to solve by himself, so while he got up from the ground he thought about the situation, they were in total 2 villains which were not easy at any time, but while he thought a little more about the situation he turned to Phantom and asked. Shoto didn't want anyone else to get hurt because he wasn't strong enough to take out the two villains, he didn't want this to result in something much worse so as he looked at the other student he kept preparing to attack, Compress would dash out into the open to attack Shoto and stare at the second year, opting to attack him by dashing towards him

The villins give Shoto some hope with my the second year Sakahashi interfering making him drop the marbles, shoto grabbed one of them [it being Eiens] and thought he got the right one and from the look on his face Dabi tells Compress to let the marbles go Bakugou popping out where Compress is and Chiro falling over on his back in between he [Dabi], Shoto's happy he got Eien but a Twice clone ruined it by using the knife another clone was going to earlier. Chiro saw Shoto hurt and made a shard getting a slice on whoever he saw since he didn't have much idea who did it at first and not happy about the two being taken. But he had to focus on Shoto clotting the wound with his quirk and started using Shoto's phone since his is dead. Compress takes Bakugou twice gets Eien and Dabi follows after giving Shoto a little taunt.
