The Batman

Musutafu City
1:23 PM
The streets wail their cries of help, no hero can be everywhere at the same moment whereas no hero can save everyone who it wishes to save, there's riots everywhere, All Might is dead, died fighting All For One, crime won't stop increasing, the entire hero world is mourning, U.A is being overrun, the students are left to their luck

Deku's POV
It's been 3 hours since the riots came in here, now without All Might, every villain is taking it's chances, Shigaraki sent his own personal death squad to execute us, me and Ochako have barricaded ourselves from the mob, I don't know if I'll get out of here alive or even make sure mom is ok...

The rioters began to flood the homerooms, finding whoever they could get their hands on, the doom was closing in when the power on the entire U.A was turned off, their senses could only perceive collecting breathing and such but lighting of any source was scarce, it would only take a few minutes before the emergency generator would kickstart, yet something felt off, thudding and thumping were heard in the vicinity and one of the rioters managed to vaguely see a baton fall to the ground

—Do you hear anything?— whispered Ochako to Midoriya

Midoriya shook his head for barely any noise besides their restless breathing, and then out of the blue several grunts and yelling could be heard outside someone or something was with them and the crowd wasn't pleased at all, now not only both Midoriya and Ochako feared for what would Shigaraki's henchmen would do to them but if something was able to take them head on, it's probably a hundred times more dangerous

30 seconds...60 seconds...90 seconds, 90 seconds until the noise was shut down, the dim red lights restored vision and both students built the courage to see the disaster outside, yet as soon as they waltzed through the door, nothing more than a pile of unconscious bodies, aching muscles and broken bones lying on the cold floor

—Kaminari!! Mineta!! You still here!?—yelled Midoriya

—I'm okay, me too!!— ushered two pair of voices on the far end of the hall, Kaminari managed to hide under his desk while Mineta's underwhelming height proved to be more useful in such circumstance

—Anyone saw where did Aizawa sensei go?— asked Ochako

—Last time we saw him, he told us he would be looking in the B and C homerooms for any students left in the building—Mineta responded

—Tsuyu and Momo told me they would look for Todoroki and Tokoyami in the locker rooms— Kaminari added

—Fair enough but, I don't know if you guys haven't realized, there's a bunch of thugs lying on the floor— Said Uraraka with a sarcastic tone

—Your point being?— pondered Kaminari

—It means someone must've beaten the crap outta them, maybe?—Mineta commented

—Exactly but if Aizawa sensei was outside, then who would've had the guts to-

—Guys!! Look at this!!— Ochako disruptively said

—What is it Ochako??— said Midoriya to his fellow student-mate

—You tell me, looks like some sort of gadgetry or prop—she said

"I don't know, it kinda resembles a bat, don't you think?"

40 minutes over the beginning of U.A's siege, the police has set up a perimeter, no one gets in or out, Pro Heroes such as Miruko or Best Jeanist haven't been seen since their deployment, some police chatter indicates the presence of an unknown assailant in U.A

Miruko had been called to evacuate any survivors among the wreckage, to both her disappointment and disdain, all there was left was several death squadrons that had filled her legs with enough bullets to cripple any ordinary human, in hopes of her own survival, she hid herself along with a few students who had been avoiding the ongoing masacre

Luck isn't something heroes rely often, the squadrons began to breach every homeroom that hadn't been consumed by the fire, executing whoever came in their way, the more she thought about them, the more abnegation suffocated her judgement —It can't end here, not like this— she sighed to her head, the leaders dragged her out by her bleeding calfs, in a way, her sacrifice was somehow helpful in order for the rest to avoid certain death, as the soldiers were grasping their hands on the triggers, a shadow like entity caught one of the men's eyes, it was as if the devil had crawled out of hell, looking to exact his vengeance

In the blink of an eye, the mysterious entity wiped the entire squadrons, worst of all, Miruko had barely seen it, as it all unwinded in milliseconds, her interpretation of what could've happened was reduced to the sounds of kicks, punches and gunfire, maybe Guardian Angels do exist...or Avenging Fiends...she thought.

Next up on the list, Nezu's right hand, EraserHead chased some suspects of the arson all the way to the P.E Ground, as it turns out, Magne and Twice, were sent to oversee the riot would go as intended and as far as their agenda dictated, everything went according to the plan, EraserHead however, felt nauseous, irritated, tired, the human lungs can only hold on for so long in such conditions let alone the thugs he had to face

—What shall we do with you, EraserHead?—exalted Magne —Why don't we just kill him? No no, it's too quick, we need to make him suffer a little more, no dammit he has to die!— a deliriously driven Twice answerered

As Magne closed in to deliver the coup de grace, she heard heavy footsteps approach her, as the thick drops of rain began to poorly soak the unrelenting fire, knowing this, she didn't put herself on a defensive position, Miruko had been "dealt with already" and the police radio indicated no backup calls, so, it was either one of All For One's lackeys or an unexpected guest not necessarily on their side.

Aizawa, was running on fumes at this point, three gunshot wounds that miraculously went through without compromising any vital organs, though the hemorrhage is bad enough, how worse could it be now, he asked to himself. If the ordeal wasn't tolling enough already, his one good eye caught the glimpse of a man cowled in cape and some sort of ghastly armor with two pointy ears to which resembled those of a bat, and those eyes, lacking any sort of humanity in them, filled with stoicism and determination

—I'm giving one chance to surrender— he accused to the sinister duo

—And if we don't want to, tough guy? Twice, teach him a lesson will ya, the heroes are no more— Magne insulted with furor a plenty

Twice casted out one of his clones quickly dispatch the wannabe hero in the mess, but their hopes were washed away in an instant

—Too late....—

30 minutes later

"This Musutafu's News Channel, we are live from outside U.A high school, this morning a series of riots and arsons happened throughout the entire city, leaving hundreds, perhaps even thousands uncertain both on their own and other's safety, many parents are standing here with the crowd whose children are believed to be trapped in here, we can only hope for now that some of the Pro Heroes can save the students before it is too late, wait! What is this!? Citizens of Musutafu, we're getting reports that Pro Hero EraserHead is exiting the school along with Miruko, Best Jeanist and several students, paramedics are rushing in to attend the wounded, people are sighing in relief to the end of this nightmare, we'll keep reports of the firefighters as they try to put out the arson before it extends more."

Several hours later, The League of Villains were surprised to see Magne and Twice beaten to a bloody pulp, Twice had to carry her all the way there, the exhaustion was overwhelmingly bad enough to botch every clone he tried to make. Toga felt a split second impulse to catch them both before they fell from the pain

Shigaraki frustratedly said—the goons the boss hired were too inept to pull the trigger on some kids, how incompetent—

—I doubt it, the plan was very clear and simple, yet they somewhat failed, I find it more factual that someone saw us coming and prepared for it—

—Whoever it was, sure didn't bother to pull his punches— the scaly Spinner uttered

—Who did this to you?—Toga asked sorrowfully to Twice

—...The Batman...—
