We land near the waters edge, lucky for me, it's only up to my waist. We continue to make our way to the very edge of the water.

"I had a bowel movement this morning, so those things will stick all day." Mineta said, I gave him a fist bump.

"We were lucky that was all of them. I took a huge gamble." Midoriya Mutters to himself whilst holding his hand with the broken fingers.

"Midoriya, stop that. It's scary." Tsu says, Midoriya snaps out of his thoughts and looks at Tsu. "Rather than reflecting back, shouldn't you think about what to do next?" Tsu says.

"Y-You're right!" Midoriya replies, he winces from the pain in his fingers.

"Are you all right?" Tsu asks, looking concerned.

"Y-Yeah." He reply's.

"midoriya, give me your hand." I say, he gives me a questioning look but brings his hand up. "Ok, if i were you, i'd cover your mouth. . .this is gonna hurt." I say, he covers his mouth and prepares himself. "3. . .2. . .1" I use my bone manipulation to fix his broken fingers, Izuku screams through his hand in pain, I then use a little bit of healing magic to fix the damaged tissue. Like magic, his fingers were never damaged at all.

"Woah, how did you. . ?" Izuku begins.

"magic." I say, cutting him off. "anyway, what do we do now?"

"We should probably make getting help our top priority. It would be best to follow the shore and avoid the central plaza as we head toward the exit. "Midoriya explains.

"That's true. Mr Aizawa has drawn a large number of villains to the plaza. " Tsu says.

". . . but I think he overexerted himself by jumping into that crowd of villains to protect us." Midoriya says.

"Wait, Midoriya, don't tell me you. . ." Mineta begins realizing what Izuku wants to do "Stupid, stupid, stupid!' Mineta exclaims.

"I'm not thinking of doing anything that'll get in his way. But if we can just find an opening and lessen Mr Aizawa's load, even a little. . ." Midoriya says.

"it's a terrible idea. to be completely honest, you don't have enough control over your quirk to properly help him without becoming something he has to save, and we'd be putting Aizawa in even more danger if we draw attention to ourselves and can't fight off all the villains that come for us then we'll become a burden. on the other hand, aizawa will probably start to struggle as he gets rid of each villain since they depend on each other, if we can find a way to help from a safe distance, it could help. so honestly, it's up to you guys. make your decisions fast, so we don't waste valuable time." I say, they all seem to be making up their minds.

"You guys can go, I'm going to help Mr Aizawa." Midoriya says as he walks toward the plaza.

"I'm going too, purely because I don't want you to get hurt by being reckless and since I know by better judgement I won't be able to convince you not to, I may as well come." I say.

"I'm coming to *Ribbit*," Tsu says.

"But-" Mineta says, he pauses.

"Fine... Let's go." Mineta says, I can tell he just didn't want to get ditched.

We walk in the direction of the plaza where Aizawa is fighting, I know it was a stupid idea, but I don't think I can persuade Midoriya not to. So it's best for me to be here to protect them if necessary. Soon we arrive at the water's edge closest to where Aizawa is.

"Hey Midoriya, we're just here to see how things are going, okay?" Mineta whispers.

"I know. We'll run away the instant it seems dangerous." Midoriya replies, from where I am, I see loads of knocked out villains all over the place, more and more when finally the what I presume' is the boss runs at Aizawa.

"The final boss?" I here Aizawa say, wait. . . That's my title! I hear the boss dude counting down, he's planning something. . .suddenly, Aizawa elbows him in the stomach. . .or so I thought. Instead, the villain caught his elbow, and Aizawa's hair fell down. I learnt what that meant since I lived with him, it means he's not using his Quirk.

"It's hard to see because you keep moving around, but there's an instant when your hair falls." The villain says, this is bad. . .I check his Quirk.

'Quirk: Decay, if touching something with all five fingers, it will decay'

This is bad. . .as I'm about to run over to him, Midoriya grabs my arm and shakes his head. I stay in the water and watch helplessly from the sidelines. Not again... I don't want to anymore...

"That's when you've finished an action." The villain continues, Aizawa's elbow begins to decay, "And the space in between has gotten shorter and shorter. Don't push yourself, Eraser Head." Aizawa then pushes away and is immediately attacked by more villains, even with his elbow crumbling, he's still putting up a pretty good fight. "That Quirk isn't suited for fighting long fights against a large group, is it?" The boss villain says as they get up. "Isn't this too different from your usual job? What you're good at is a short fight after a surprise attack, right? Even so, you jumped right in to fight us from the front. Was that to put your students at ease?" The villain continues, his minions attacking Aizawa again. "You're so cool. . .You're so cool. . . !" He says, that's a little weird. . ." By the way, hero. . .I'm not the final boss." Just as he says that, I notice a weird bird. . . thing behind Aizawa. I was about to shout but. . .it grabs him and. . . Blood was...everywhere. . .

"Mr Aizawa. . ." Midoriya whispers. Then the bird, while holding Aizawa down with one hand, was breaking his bones with the other. Screams of pain echoed around, it was so hard to watch, I wanted to run out and save him, but that would put everyone else a risk. . .I had to stay with them. . . No... I have to find a way to do something! Think damn it think!

"You can erase Quirks. That's wonderful, but nothing impressive. In the face of overwhelming power, you might as well be Quirkless." The hand guy says, Aizawa turns his head to look at him, and activates his Quirk. The bird crushes his arm again, and he screams in pain. They then grab Aizawa's head smashes it into the ground creating a crater.

"M-M-Midoriya, I can't take it anymore. I'm sure you must be having second thoughts, right?" Mineta says, he's covering his mouth, and I see tears forming in his eyes. No one moved, they were frozen in fear. Then suddenly, the purple mist guy appears behind the hand guy.

"Tomura Shigaraki." Mist says, so that's hand guy's name.

"Kurogiri, did you kill thirteen?" Shigaraki asks.

"I put Thirteen out of action, but there were students I was unable to disperse, and one of them was able to run away." Kurogiri explains.

"huh?" Shigaraki questions, then he begins to scratch his neck. My guess is that's his way of dealing with stress. "Kurogiri, you. . .If you weren't a warp gate, I would've crushed you to pieces." Shigaraki says, then he stops scratching his neck. "We can't win against dozens of pros. It's game over. Man, it's game over this time. Let's go home." he says, Warp gate? I bet he's the one messing up my shortcuts.

"They're going home? Did they say they were going home?" Mineta questions.

"That's what I heard," Tsu says. Mineta looks like he's about to cry.

"All right! we're saved!" Mineta whisper/screams as he 'hugs' Tsu.

"Yes, but. . ." Tsu stops as she realizes what Mineta is doing. She then shoves Mineta under the water and holds him there. "I have a bad feeling about this." she says.

"Yeah. For them to simply retreat after doing all this. . ." Izuku says.

"Keep your guards up, it could be a simple deception to trick us into relaxing." I say.

"Oh, yeah. Before we leave..." Shigaraki says as he turns around to face us, "Let's smash some of his pride as the Symbol of Peace!" Suddenly he's right in front of us and is reaching his and out toward Tsu, I get a mental image of what would happen if he touched her she would die. . . Before Shigaraki could reach Tsu, I jump in front of her, his fingers then land on my face. . .but... nothing happens? I look over to Aizawa, he was using his Quirk even though he is hurt, he is still trying to protect us. . . "Damn it. You really are cool. . .Eraser Head." Shigaraki says, the bird villain, then smashes Aizawa's head into the ground again. Suddenly Midoriya jumps out of the water.

"Let go of him!" Midoriya yells, "Smash. . . !" Midoriya punches toward the villain, making. . . many villains blow away and making big waves in the water. Dust is everywhere, but I can make out two- no three? Figures. . .oh no. . .the dust clears, and there stands the bird villain, it took the punch, and it wasn't hurt at all. Midoriya pulls his hand back slowly, he looks so afraid.

"You move well. Your 'Smash'-- Are you a follower of All Might's?" Shigaraki asks. "Oh well. I'm done with you." He says, the bird grabs hold of Midoriya's arm, Shigaraki reaches out for me, Tsu, and Mineta, so I do the only thing I can think of. I send a bunch of bones toward Shigaraki, the bird guy jumps in front of him, and Midoriya is dropped to the ground. I then grab the bird's soul... souls! Think about that later, I then throw it backward as far as I can. Just as Shigaraki and the bird guy are about to attack again, a loud crashing sound comes from the entrance, and they stop.

"It's fine now! I am here!" All Might says.

"All Might!" Mineta yells.

"All... Might..." Izuku says.

"Oh, we're getting a 'Continue'..." Shigaraki says, excitement in his voice. "I've been waiting, hero. You trash of society." Shigaraki says, some of the random villains begin to talk amongst themselves. All Might takes them all out and grabs Aizawa.

"Sorry, Aizawa." All Might says, he then turns to us, and suddenly Midoriya, Mineta, Tsu, and I are on land.

"huh? huh?" Mineta says, confusion in his voice.

"Everyone, go to the entrance. I'm leaving Aizawa to you. He's unconscious. Hurry!" All Might demands.

"Y-Yes, sir." Mineta says.

"All Might. . ." Izuku says.

"Aizawa..." I mutter, I would try heal his arm, but it wouldn't do much good.

"It's no good. . . It's no good. . . It's no good. . . I'm sorry, Father. . ."I hear Shigaraki say as he walks over to the hand that was blown off his face, wait, did he just call it...Father? "He hit me as he was saving them. It's the violence of a government official. He's fast, as expected. I can't follow him with my eyes. But not as fast as I thought he'd be. I guess it's true, after all...that he's getting weaker."

"All Might, you can't. That brain villain took One fo-- He took a punch that didn't break my arm, but he didn't even twitch. He's gotta be--" Midoriya stats but is cut off.

"Young Midoriya! It's fine." All Might says, striking a pose. We began to walk to the exit, Midoriya was carrying the front of Aizawa and Mineta the back. " Carolina..." All Might yells

"Nomu." I hear Shigaraki say

Smash...!" All Might finishes, I feel a strong gust of wind blow by. So the bird guy's name is Nomu... We continue to walk, but I am lost in my own thoughts. That THING... Nomu...it had four souls... how is it even possible... It isn't... right... no, it's impossible unless--

"Sans, are you ok?" Tsu asks, I snap out of my thoughts.

"Yeah, I'm fine... just thinking..." I reply, she nods and continues to walk. Everyone is looking back at where All Might is, they look shocked. I turn my head and see Nomu has All Might in his hands. All Might probably tried to hit Nomu's head on the ground, but Kurogiri stopped him by opening a warp gate.

"Asui." Midoriya says.

"What is it, Midoriya?" Tsu replies.

"Trade places with me carrying Mr Aizawa." He says, I know what he's planning, and I'm going to help.

"Okay... but why?" Tsu asks, Tsu takes Aizawa anyway, and Midoriya and I begin to run toward All Might.

"Midoriya, Sans!" Mineta yells, but we don't stop.

"All Might!" Midoriya yells. He then lunges forward, but Kurogiri gets in front of him.

"How foolish." Kurogiri says as he opens a Warp gate in front of Midoriya, I grab his arm and pull him back as Bakugo flies in, letting off an explosion, then grabbing the metal thing that Kurogiri is wearing and shoving him to the ground.

"Take that!" Bakugo yells. Then some ice appears, crawling up Nomu's body. The ice stops just before Nomu's hands, I turn to see Todoroki.

"All I heard was that you all are here to kill All Might." Todoroki says in a cold voice.

"All Might!" Midoriya says. Kirishima tries to attack Shigaraki, but he dodges.

"Damn it! I didn't get to show off!" Kirishima says.

"Stop acting so stuck-up, foggy nobody!" Bakugo yells.

"The Symbol of Peace cannot be killed by the likes of you." Todoroki says.

"Kacchan! Everyone!" Midoriya says.

"Kurogiri, our exit and entrance, has been overcome. We're in a pinch." Shigaraki says.

"You careless bastard. You're just what I thought you'd be. Only parts of you can turn into a misty warp gate. The fog gate covered your actual body, right? Back then. . .If you were completely made of mist and physical attacks couldn't touch you, then you wouldn't have said, "That was close." Bakugo states, Kurogiri tries to move, but Bakugo lets off a small warning explosion. "Don't move! If I feel like you're moving suspiciously, then I'll blow you up." He yells.

"His behaviour isn't very hero-like..." Kirishima says, lucky Bakugo didn't hear him.

"We can agree upon that." I say.

"In addition to capturing them, they're almost all uninjured. Kids these days are amazing. They make the League of Villains look bad... Nomu." Shigaraki says, Nomu goes back the way he came through the portal, as he gets out, the parts of his body that are frozen fall off.

"Even though his body's broken. . .He's still moving?" Midoriya says, confusion in his voice.

"Get back, everyone!" All Might yells. The ice that is still on the Nomu brakes showing his body is regenerating. "What? His Quirk wasn't shock absorption?" All Might Questions.

"I didn't say that was all he had. This is his super-regeneration. Nomu has been modified to take you at 100%. He's a super-efficient human sandbag." Shigaraki stats, everyone gets in a fighting stance. 

"I wouldn't call that thing a human..." I mutter, no one heard.

"First, we need to get our gate back. Go Nomu." Shigaraki says, I didn't want to do this but I didn't have much of a choice. I bend time and space and get Bakugo out the way, but freeing Kurogiri in the process. Everyone is pushed back by the Nomu's punch All Might is standing a few feet in front of us.

"K-Kacchan!" Midoriya yells, "Kacchan?! You dodged? That's amazing!" Midoriya says looking Bakugo.

"No, shut up, scum!" Bakugo yells.

"Then how...?" Kirishima questions.

"No..*huff* thank you..? that takes quite a bit of energy...*huff* you know..." I say.

"Sans?! How?!" Midoriya yells.

"Another part of my Quirk that I forgot to mention earlier... I might tell you about it later..." I say as I continue to take deep breaths.

"You're fast, aren't you, kid." Shigaraki says, looking at me.

"Do you not know how to hold back?" All Might Questions.

"It was to rescue my companions. I had no choice. I mean earlier, that... plain-looking one. He was about to punch me with everything he had, you know. Violence for the sake of others makes it admirable. Isn't that right, hero? You know what, All Might? I'm angry. I'm angry at this world that categorizes the same violent acts as heroic or villainous, deciding what's good and what's bad. 'Symbol of Peace'? Ha. You're just a device to repress violence. Violence only breeds violence. The world will know this once we kill you!" Shigaraki stats.

"That's preposterous. The eyes of white-collar criminals like you burn silently. You just want to enjoy this yourself, don't you, you liar?" All Might says.

"It's three against six." Todoroki says.

"Kacchan already exposed the fog's weakness!" Midoriya says, getting ready to fight.

"These guys are crazy, but if we back up All Might, we can push them back!" Kirishima says.

"don't break anything, midoriya." I say, getting in a fighting stance.

"No! Run away." All Might says.

" You would've been in trouble if I hadn't done anything earlier, right?" Todoroki says.

"That was a different story, Young Todoroki. Thanks. But it's fine! Just watch as a pro gives it everything he's got." All Might declares.

"All Might, you're bleeding... Besides, time's--" Midoriya begins but stops himself. All Might gives him a thumbs up, and prepares for a fight.
