Chapter 10: Unforeseen Survival Clash
(USJ Main plaza)
"Thirteen…and Eraser head, huh" The dark fog-like villain said as the last of the villains walked out of the portal.
"It seems that there was an error here. The teacher's schedule we received the other day clearly said All Might would be present." The guy with a hand for a mask said, scratching at his neck.
"So they were the ones behind that all-media storm, were they?" Eraser noted as he could pick up on their conversation.
'No…something's off here. He said 'received' not stolen, not taken but 'received' as in…given. But who in their right mind would do something like that.' And like his teacher, Midoriya could hear it as well but he analyzed the choice of words instead, was it possible that they leaked, maybe a spy in U.A.?
"Where is he?" The paled-haired man asked as he rose his arms. "I went through all the trouble of bringing this crowd here and for what? All Might. The symbol of peace, and he's not even here." He stated as the dozens of villains moved towards the staircase. "I wonder if he'll show if we killed some kids." Somehow Midoriya could tell he was quite pleased with that scenario and mentally categorized him as one of the psychotic madmen variety of villains.
(With the class)
"Villains, can't be. How'd they get in the first place?" Kirishima asked.
"Sensei, doesn't the school have trespasser alarms?" Momo asked their homeroom teacher as she and everyone else knew U.A. had one of the best security systems in Japan.
"We do but…" Thirteen chose to answer but stopped as she didn't know how to phrase this for the teens.
"Did they just appear here or around the entire school?" Todoroki stated, relieving Thirteen of that as he looked around. "Either way, the sensors aren't responding which means they've been compromised, most likely someone here with a quirk since that doesn't look smart enough to use other means." He theorized.
'Harsh burn dude, but I gotta agree. Not one of them looks like they have that level of skill but it doesn't mean someone with such isn't here.' Midoriya thought to himself as he would have guessed the villains' hacker was either off site or somewhere they couldn't reach him, maybe the main control room.
"An isolated area separated from the main campus. During a time when a single class was scheduled to be here with only three pros. They might be fools, but they're not dumb." Todoroki stated as he flexed his fingers. "This was a surprise attack carefully planned out with a goal in mind." He said as he looked down at the supposed ringleader standing next to that…thing.
"Thirteen, begin evacuation, get the students to safety, and call for back-up." Eraser said as he got in front of the group.
"Those villains aren't setting off the alarms which means they either have someone with a radio-type quirk messing with them or the alarms themselves have been downed." The pro noted as he quickly looked at the off floodlights and saw some were still flickering.
"Kaminari, Midoriya. The two of you try calling the school as well. One of you might make it through." Eraser ordered the two boys.
"Yes sensei." Both said as they got to work, Kaminari trying to access a basic call line to contract the school while Midoriya tried to contact the main office directly.
"Sensei, you're not thinking of fighting all those villains by yourself, are you? There are too many." Uraraka protested as she had never seen that many villains in one place before and even though Midoriya had fought them in the past, neither had he.
"You can't be a pro if you only have one trick." Eraser told her as he started to walk over the stairs. "I'm leaving things in your care, Thirteen." And with that, he dived headfirst into the action. His capture wraps at the ready.
"Shooting squad, let's go." One villain said as he along with three others stood in the front of the formation.
"Didn't the intel say it would just be Thirteen and All Might? Who's that?" a female villain asked as they saw Eraser approaching them.
"Don't know, don't care! But he's a fool if he thinks he can take us on by himself in a frontal attack." Another said they watched Eraser run towards them, his scarf at the ready, they aimed with their long-ranged quirks and tried to activate them but at the same moment, Eraser had erased their quirks.
"Huh. My quirk?" One of them asked when her hair fell.
"The bullets won't come out!" The first added as he couldn't open fire, at that same moment, Eraser wrapped them all up in his scarf can with strength unheard of for a man of his build, he slammed all three of the heads together mid-flight before dropping them.
"Idiots, he can erase quirks just be looking at them! That's Eraserhead!" Another yelled at the rest of the pro in question landed in the middle of a group.
"Erase?" A crusty blue and black villain asked. "Are you gonna erase the quirks of us mutant types too?" he asked the pro as he ran to him, his mutations giving above else, four arms rather than two.
"No I can't but…" Eraser replied as he effortlessly dodged his right before delivering a left hook right to his face, breaking his nose and sending him back. "With the level of skills you all have," he continued as he launched his capture tool to grab the leg of the man who had flown a very impressive 4 meters back from the blow, while the tool wrapped around the man, Eraser bent his knees and leaned to the left to avoid an attack from behind twisting his body and kneed the would-be attacker in the chest, making him fall back into two others, knocking them down. "You don't stand much chance against a man well versed in 8 martial arts forms." Eraser finished as he pulled the first man down, crashing him into the pile, rendering all four out of the fight.
(With the villains)
"So he's also strong in close quarters? And those goggles of his make it impossible to know who he is looking at. When he fights against a group, it makes us harder for them to work together." The hand dude stated as he watched Eraserhead take on the entire group of villains with kicks, knees, and punching, all without getting touched by them.
"I see." It was quite clear that different in skill here. "I hate pro heroes. The masses don't stand a chance against them." He finished the thought as Eraser erased the quirk of a girl with horn-like hair before delivering a flying kick to her chin.
(With the class)
'Hopefully, he can buy us some time.' Iida thought to himself as he and the rest of the class ran towards the entrance. Unfortunately, they were intercepted by the foggy-looking villain who teleported to them.
"I won't let you escape." The villain told them as they all came to a halt.
'Damn! I just blinked and the most troublesome looking on got away!' Eraser thought to himself as he punched another villain in the face but found his path back to the stairs blocked by even more of them. He wasn't going anywhere till he took care of them first.
"Nice to meet you, we are the League of Villains. It may be pretentious of us but, we have invited ourselves into the home of heroes, U.A. high to have the Symbol of Peace All Might, take his last breath." The villain told them, his shadowy form towering over them and making more than a couple scared.
"I believe All Might was supposed to be here. Has there been some kind of change?" The villain stated as they watched his acidic yellowy eyes scanned over them. "Well either way, if he's here or not. I have my role to play." He finished. Thirteen chose that moment to strike and was about to try and suck the man in with her quirk if not for Bakugo and Kirishima jumping into that way right towards the villain, one with his forearms harden and another firing a very big blast.
"Did you consider that you'll get beaten by us before you did it!?" Kirishima said as they couldn't see the villain thanks to the smoke from the blast but Midoriya knew something was off, it wouldn't have been that easy, not with that one.
"Idiots! Get out of the way, hurry!" Midoriya ordered them, his uncharacteristic choice of words and orders surprising the class. They would have asked if they didn't hear the villain speak up again.
"That was close, I forget that for students, you'll all still quite the basket of golden eggs, aren't you?" The villain asked as the smoke cleared and they saw he had taken no visible damage from that attack. Just as he finished his sentence, his form let loose more of that black fog that engulfed the classmates and their teacher.
"Be scattered by tortured to death, farewell dear children." He uttered as Iida grabbed Uraraka and Sato and ran out of the mist.
"Everyone, grab the person closest to you!" Midoriya ordered them as he grabbed into the first thing he could reach, which happened to be Ojiro's tail.
"Midoriya!" Tokoyami called out to his friend as Kouda grabbed hold of him.
"Stay safe!" was the last thing they all heard Midoriya say before they were all teleported away, leaving behind 13 and only 6 of the class of twenty students.
"Everyone!" Iida yelled when the mist cleared and he saw how little of them were still present.
(With Midoriya)
Midoriya found himself being teleported to the Conflagration Zone. He also noticed that he was flying from the height of a 6-floor building while still holding into Ojiro's tail. He quickly activated his wing pack and slowed their descent as to land on one of the smaller buildings, which happen to be modeled after a convenience store.
"Next time you need to grab something, please don't grab my tail Midoriya." Ojiro moaned in slight pain as being carried by his tail wasn't a fun experience he was looking forward to repeating.
"Yeah, sorry about that, I could barely see anything in that mist and just grabbed the first thing I could." Midoriya apologized as he looked around for any threat.
"Be glad it wasn't one of the girls." Ojiro joked as he got up and looked around as well, and if he was honest with himself, the zone lived up to the hype. There were fires just about everywhere you looked. From whole buildings, portions of the vehicles or just burning debris. He was pretty sure there was more fire here than in most real-world instances but he knew the saying of hoping for the best and preparing for the worst.
"No shit, pretty sure Jiro would beat the shit outta me." Midoriya answered as he already figured she would likely be the most violent about it. He saw what she did to Kaminari for his rather sexist joke-(though he and the rest of the guys would never admit they found it to be very funny)-the poor guy couldn't hear right for a full hour.
"And the rest won't." Ojiro said as he could imagine being kicked by someone with Asui's legs would do more than just hurt, it would break bones. At that both boys started to laugh out loud, despite the dangerous situation they and the rest of the class were in, they laugh like it was another day in class.
"Why are we laughing?" Ojiro asked after he somewhat calmed down.
"Probably because we don't want to shit ourselves instead-INCOMING!" Was Midoriya's reply which was interrupted by Ojiro screaming before he pushed them out of the way of the path of a very large piece of debris that would have no doubt killed them.
"The hell was that!?" Midoriya asked as he and Ojiro got back up and saw the clear street was no swarming with villains, one of them picking up something else to throw at them.
"Company." Ojiro said as he jumped down to fight them, leaving Midoriya to take only shake his head in annoyance at this before putting on his helmet and taken to the skies and offer his support.
"You been able to make contact?" Ojiro asked him loudly as he dodged a sloppy punch before smacking the thug in the side with his tail.
"No…there's something blocking communications. Even satellite." Midoriya replied as he flew over someone, pick them up, and threw them into another person, making them both crash through a department store window.
"So what's the plan then, sit tight and wait for someone to figure out something's wrong?" Ojiro asked as he blocked another strike before he performed a leg sweep to knock the man down before dropping his heel into his stomach, taking him out of the fight.
"That'll take hours and by then, we'll all be beaten if not dead already. No, we need to regroup. Find the others and get back to the central plaza or..." Midoriya said as he came back down to earth and took down four others with one of his patented taser grenades.
"Or what?" Ojiro asked as he backed up to him now that they were both surrounded.
"Either we take back the control room from the villains or one of us makes it out and calls for help." Midoriya said as he took out a collapsible bō staff from his back.
"But the school's like 3km(1.8 mi) away, no one could make that run." Ojiro said as he deflected a kick from another villain before using his momentum against him and smashing him into the floor.
"I could and Iida's no slouch." Midoriya replied as he twirled his staff around for a bit before striking the stomach of the thug who got too close, knocking them back. "Still what the guy said, about thinking All Might would be here." He finished as he blocked another strike from a thug with dual knives.
"How did they know that? I mean we only found out today before we left the main campus." Ojiro said as he agreed with the quirkless boy on that.
"The gate!" Midoriya suddenly said as he struck another in the shin before bringing the staff up to knock them up into the air via a strike to the chin.
"The what?" Ojiro asked as he batted two attackers off before he used his tail to smash one into the other, giving him some breathing room.
"The main gate, on the way out, I saw that it had been damaged, how much I don't know since it was mostly cleaned up but suppose they did it. During the panic…" Midoriya explained as he recalled seeing the rubble of the floor and how it didn't look like it was smashed apart or even blown apart, it almost looked…like it was super old and had fallen victim to rust.
"They would have time to sneak in and grab a schedule. But how would they know the way to the teacher's lounge, it's not like the school has directional signs for that?" Ojiro said as that was the main reason it was so damn hard to find classes for first years, they hadn't rememorized the school yet and relied solely on instructions they were told and directions from 2nd and 3rd years.
"That's an answer that I don't like, the only way they would know that is if someone told them." Midoriya told him rather grimly, as they were talking they had been occupied fighting off the thugs-(yes thugs, these guys were too weak to be villains if two 1st year students could fight them off)-and at that moment, they both punched a larger man so hard he flew into a burned-out car, knocking it over.
"What!" Ojiro said as he looked around and saw they were being overwhelmed as the number of thugs hadn't fallen, it anything it had rose since they started. It was clear that they couldn't stay in one place for too long.
"I know, I know, it sounds crazy but that villain's choice of words, 'received' and not 'looked at' or 'took' tells me someone legit gave them that." Midoriya explained his reasoning using the choice of words the villain has used. He quickly grabbed onto Ojiro's shoulders and picked them up into the air, narrowing avoiding another piece of rubble thrown at them both.
"But who?" Ojiro asked him, he was not sold on this but if the smartest boy in class thought it was a possibility, he would at least consider it. For a moment, Midoriya was quiet, so quiet in fact that Ojiro thought he was thinking of possible suspects.
"…was it you?" Midoriya eventually asked as they flew out of sight of their current opponents.
"What the hell man!"
"It's an honest question and please do remember, I am carrying you 5 stories off the ground." Midoriya told him as he jostled him a bit to get his point across.
"No!" Ojiro denied, after which Midoriya found a good place to land and led them there.
"Good, this helmet is equipped with and one of a kind, heartbeat sensor of my design." The boy told his tailed classmate as he pointed to his helmet.
"So?" Ojiro said slowly as he didn't know what that meant.
"So I just used it on you when you answered my question, your heartbeat stayed stable and your blood pressure didn't rise so that was an honest answer. And before you ask, the sensor originally was intended to tell if people were still alive or at the very least warm while they were under stuff such as snow, dirt from landslides or rubble." Midoriya explained to him.
"Asui was right, you are dangerous." Ojiro said as he took that all in and saw that this kid was possible the most skilled in their class. In response the boy laughed as he took to the skies, leaving his classmate to follow him via rooftop.
"I'll take that as a compliment, by the way. You ever heard of this 'League of Villains'?" Midoriya asked
"Never." Ojiro answered as he was pretty sure a group with the numbers they saw would have made the news by now.
"Me neither, this must be their first big operation. By its pretty ballsy all considering." Midoriya stated as they wouldn't be the first to say such, not even the hundredth according to Yagi as the dude gets these kinds of threats near-weekly at this point but something was telling Midoriya that this was different.
"Yeah, wanting to kill All Might. I don't think there are many criminals out there who don't wish to do so but being capable of doing such…" Ojiro said as they walked around, avoiding been seen by the thugs searching for them till they had a plan.
"I got it!" Midoriya said suddenly, he should get used to it as the dude came up with plans like that a lot.
"Got what?" Ojiro asked him as they took to the rooftops to have a better view, he climbed up the fire escapes and window seals while the other just flew up.
"I got a signal through, it was weak and didn't last more than a second but I got it." Midoriya told him as he touched the side of his helmet, trying to get a message through.
"Think you can do it again?" Ojiro asked him as it would them some real good if they had back-up.
"Yeah, Green-day," Midoriya said as he dialed some options on his gauntlet touchscreen control pad before a small, green, and blue bird-looking drone detached from the top of his pack before coming to a hover right to his head. "Ojiro meet my unmanned, aerial drone, Green-day." Midoriya introduced as he gestured to the small mechanical bird.
"…Hello…?" Okay, this was not how he thought his day would have played out.
"Green-day, I need you to wait for my signal, once Ojiro and I cleared the exit, you fly towards the roof of the drone. You should get the best signal there. Once you reached it, radio a distress call on all police frequencies." Midoriya instructed the drone before it started to up upwards and hide inside a taller building.
"So we fight it out?" Ojiro asked as he pointed down to a group of thugs who had come together, most likely to ask who had seen them.
"We fight it out." Midoriya answered as they both jumped down with the element of surprise.
(Landslide Zone)
While this was going down in the Conflagration Zone, Todoroki was having much more success in the Landslide Zone. He had been dropped into a group of over a dozen thugs waiting for him but that didn't mean much when he froze half of them solid without breaking a sweat.
"It's just pathetic to lose so quickly to a single child, don't you think?" The boy in question told/mocked them as with little effort, he turned the rest of them into frozen statues with only their faces still clear to allow breathing, but not much else.
"Get a hold of yourselves. You're an adult, aren't you?" He finished as he turned towards another group running towards him before he fired off a larger bolt of ice towards them, taking out about 7 of them in a single hit.
(Collapse Zone)
"Die!" Bakugo cried out as he fired off another blast into the chest of a villain, launching him into the wall so hard, he broke through. "That's nine down by my count." He asked the only other person with him he wasn't trying to blow to bits.
'Does he have to say that?' Kirishima asked himself as that wasn't the first time he heard the boy say that and most likely won't be the last. "I've taken down about seven of them." He answered as he punched another villain in the face, bashing her back from them.
"Damn worms are coming out of the woodwork." Bakugo seethed he dodged a strike before lighting up the poor bastard's chest with a rapid-fire of lefts and rights before ending it with an explosion to the face.
Still, it could be worse…
At least he had targets to express his anger on.
(Mountain Zone)
"Get ready everyone." Momo told them as she handed a sword to Jiro, the three students of Yaoyorozu, Jiro and Kaminari had found themselves warped to the mountainous zone, it didn't take long for them to be spotted though.
"What I'll do for this to just be a dream." Kaminari whined with a nervous smile.
"Man up!" Jiro barked at him, making him remember who he was with and all the shit they got up to growing up, she was always the brains of the due and tom-boy-(though he knew she loved her pretty dresses and tea parties, even now)
"Yes, mam." Kaminari answered still with a smile but a lot less nervous, this wasn't the time to panic, he and Jiro had wanted to be heroes since they met as kids at summer camp, he couldn't let his friend down now. This was the time to show her that she wasn't the only one who improved.
(Flood Zone)
"Any ideas?" Mineta begged Asui as they had been stuck on the boat for the better part of 6 minutes, unable to do a thing since the water was filled with aquatic or otherwise water-based quirk villains preventing them from escaping. Okay, that wasn't true since Asui had a pretty good chance of getting through but not Mineta.
"I'm thinking(kero)." Asui told him for the third time, her face not showing how frustrated and scared she was, scared because of the villain raid and because she suspected the villains had an actual method to kill All Might, frustrated because Mineta was acting like a scared little girl and it was getting on her nerves.
(Squall Zone)
In the pouring rain of the squall zone, both Tokoyami and Koda were both silent, having been surrounded by 8 villain but not outmatched as the 11 knocked out bodies on the floor showed.
(Main Entrance)
By the main entrance, there hadn't been any action since the villain warped their friends away but the remaining students were non the less on alert with Iida, Sero, Sato, and Shoji forming a wall in-between the villain, and Uraraka and Ashido who were by Thirteen's side ready to jump in if needs be.
'This is bad, we have been split and more than half the class have been scattered to who knows where in the USJ if they're even still here. Both Yaoyorozu and Midoriya are teleported, leaving us without our teacher no class reps.' Iida thought to himself with sweat on his brow. 'More than that, both Uraraka and Mina look terrified, so does Sero and I'm not that calm either. We have our backs to the wall at this point!' he finished as he ground his teeth together in anger at their predicament.
"Man, what I wouldn't give for Todoroki or Midoriya right about now." Sero said as he pulled out some tape to use as a rope.
"I have a feeling they have their problems." Sato said as they watched the mist man for any sudden moves.

(U.A. Main campus buildings)
'The number you have dialed is unavailable at present or has been temporarily disconnected, please wait ten minutes and try again later.' That was the response All Might got from his phone. He was seated in the staff room in his civilian form and he had been trying to get in contact with the two pros to ask about the class but both weren't picking up.
"That's odd. I can't reach Thirteen or Aizawa." All Might said to himself as he thought back to why he was late. "[sign] Whatever the reason, I neglected my teaching duties because of things that happened outside of work hours and now I'm stuck here." He said as he was feeling shame at being so caught up with his hero work that he forgot about his limit till the last hour of it.
'I could try and make it at the end at least, I have about ten minutes left in my muscle form so it should be enough.' He suggested to himself as he got up and bulked up, growing to his hero size. "I WILL GO-[COUGH!]" Or at least, he tried to speak before he quite violently coughed up a mouthful of blood. At that same moment, the staff room door opened up and another figure walked in.
"Delay that All Might." A smartly dressed, short white-furred animal said.
"Principal Nezu! Sir!" All Might said as he immediately bowed to the principal as he was his boss and had done more than enough throughout his own life to deserve such respect from the number one.
"Yes that's me but what am I? A dog? A mouse? A small bear? What I'm the…principal!" Nezu said with joy in his voice, he truly would never get tired of that.
At this, All Might bent over with his knees, his massive hands resting on said knees as he wobbled closer to the principal. "Sir, as usual, your fur is well-groomed and shiny." All Might complimented.
"The secret of keratin. Shame humans can't get this kind of color and luster for their fur or hair as you prefer I call it." Nezu told him as he took out his tablet to show the man something. "But let's talk about proper fur care another time, what I want to talk about is this:" and on the screen was a news site known to be fairly accurate in its reporting, making it a favorite amongst pros who wanted facts first, ass-kissing second, but it was the headline that grabbed both their attention.
'Breaking News: All Might solved six different incidents in under an hour!'
"Look at this! What is this? What were you thinking?" Nezu asked him, getting the pro to finch as if struck by the small animal, though such an attack wouldn't even phase him. "[sign] Not to worry, I'm not that mad with you, make no mistake, I'm still very much displeased with you but that can wait. All Might, in your opinion, didn't you think today was…extra busy?" Nezu asked him, placing the tablet down ad he climbed onto the vacant sofa. While he did this, steam started coming off All Might's form as he dropped out of muscle form.
"[Cough] Y-yes sir, it was. From what I've heard, this town has always had a relatively low crime rate compared to maybe Kyoto or Tokyo but for some reason, it's like all the criminals in town agreed to do something today." Yagi said as he found it disturbing there was an influx of crime today of all days, normally crime like this only appeared after larger-scale incidents when all the pros were focusing on other matters or during the annual hero ranking ceremony as many pro heroes would attend.
"Agreed?" Nezu asked, that was an odd choice of words to use, it was comment knowledge that many low-level criminals rarely worked together and certainly not to this degree, they were too prideful or small-minded to bother.
"Well not exactly sir, none of them were even working together or doing the same thing, they were pretty far apart from one another, striking out on their lonesome, maybe some groups of two or three." Yagi replied as Nezu prepared them both a cup of tea. It was silent for a while as they both thought about the issue, one from the standpoint of pro with decades of experience and the other with his higher intellect and vast understanding of the human psyche.
"That is…quite odd. The only thing they've been able to accomplish besides making fools of themselves before being caught is that…." Nezu started as he handed All Might his cup before taking a sip of his own before he froze. The fur on the back of his neck standing straight as his tail went rigged.
'They've spread both the police and pros thin, making it all but impossible for one to call for back-up.' Nezu thought to himself as he started to paint a terrible picture in his mind as he recalled his own words from earlier that day.
But who let them in? Was this a declaration of war or something much worse?
[CRASH!]
"Sir! Are you alright?!" Yagi asked as he put his cup down and stood up, he had never seen the principal so frazzled that he dropped a cup of tea, nor had he ever seen the look of shock and slight terror in his eyes.
"Yagi," Nezu started, not sounding like his usual joyful if not crazed self but more...subdued and serious. "Could this have been planned by someone?" He asked the plan, hoping that this was one of those 1 in 10,000,000 times he was over-thinking something.
"Planned?" Yagi asked as he sat back down.
"All this ruckus, it's all a diversion for something, something big…something that whoever planned out didn't want us anywhere near." Nezu explained his thoughts to the man, for All Might hearing such a theory wasn't so much crazy or super far-fetched, no…it made perfect sense when he took into account who wasn't picking up their phones.
"Oh no…"All Might said as his bony face lost even more color. "The class, they're with Thirteen and Aizawa at the USJ but…I can't contact that, Aizawa could be busy maybe but not Thirteen." All Might said as he took out his phone to try again, Nezu immediately caught what he meant and leap off the sofa and powered walked to the door.
"The USJ is off-campus and there are only two teachers…" Nezu said as he now saw that it was a good target for an intelligent villain, all those fresh and untrained first-year hero students being guarded by only two teachers. One is more suited to rescue and as a result not the best ally in a fight and the other is in no way built for long drawn out battles against extremely powerful foes or just sheer numbers. "Yagi, call the teachers here quickly, I need to head over to talk with security and see what's going on over there." Nezu ordered as he opened the door to step out.
"Yes sir!" Yagi replied as he got up to head over the school P.A system in the other room. 'I pray that this is all nothing.' Were the pro's thoughts as he picked up the microphone and turned the PA system on.

(USI Main Entrance)
"Shoji? Is everyone still here?" Iida asked his multi-limbed classmate as they still stood against the mist-bodied, human teleporter. None had made a move for a while now the suspense was starting to get to them.
"There are some who are having more trouble than others but everyone is still in the facility but they've been scattered to amongst the environmental zones." Shoji said after a while as he used his quirk to make eyes and ears better to judge who was where going by the sights and sounds of combat he could pick up.
"Thank God." Uraraka said, relieved that her classmates and friends weren't taken somewhere worse than here. Though there was a small part of her mind that told her that there wasn't any good either.
"That still leaves us with this dude, physical attacks don't do anything and his quirk lets him warp anything he wants away from him. His quirk is the worst right now!" Sero added as he thought of all the ways they could try to attack him but Bakugo and Kirishima's attempt was still fresh on his mind so he couldn't think of anything that wouldn't end with him and potential someone else being warped someplace else.
"Iida, your assistant class rep, aren't you?" Thirteen spoke up, getting the boy's attention.
"Y-yes sensei. I am." Iida answered though he was confused as to why that was important right now.
"I need you to do something for me." Thirteen started, never letting her eyes off the threat right in front of them. "I need you to get down there and find Midoriya or Momo." Thirteen finished, surprising Iida and most of the students present.
"Our phones are down and the alarms aren't sounding. The alarms used infrared scans but even with Aizawa erasing quirks left and right, they aren't sounding. Meaning either the control room is under the villain's control or there is a villain here with a quirk that causing it, the former I seriously doubt. The school won't be able to send help since I have a feeling that all those incidents today were the league's doing." Thirteen explained showing off that intelligence and gut sense homed over years of experience as even Kurogiri would say he was impressed with the hero not assuming that it was a quirk and leaving it there, though he was interested as to why those two students were better options but kept his mouth shut.
"The principal won't send much aid till the main campus is secured which would take time. Time we don't have. I need you to find one of the reps and take back the control room, both of them are capable enough to at least set off the emergency shutdown of the system. It'll give us a fighting chance." Thirteen finished. To most, sending two first-years to take up their main security would be ludicrous at best and bat shit insane at worst but Thirteen, like all the first-year teachers had been briefed of their students before the school year had started.
Momo' family controlled a great many companies and businesses, more than a few tech-based which gave the girl background in such manners, combined with the fact she scored extremely high in all computer-related subjects both in middle school and that she could create working smartphones made her a good candidate to have the know-how to help while they awaited Power-Loader and the rest of the support staff.
Midoriya was a certified genius whose diligence, observational skills, and habit for thinking outside the box allowed him to be one of the if not the smartest student U.A. had ever seen seeing how he was able to create his custom state-of-the-art equipment by himself with little to no assistance from others as well as create his very own A.I. in the form of Neko Mk II made him the better of the two for retaking the system if not shutting it down.
"Sensei, with all due respect, you can't expect me to run! That would be shameful for an assistant rep!" Iida replied it was something Thirteen expected as her orders could be seen as cowardice, telling him to ran while they stayed
"I'm not asking you to run like a coward, I'm asking you to run to get help." Thirteen told him firmly, getting the boy to pause as he took in those words.
"But-!" Iida tried to reply but was cut off by one of his classmates.
"Get outta here Iida, chances are one of those two is smart enough to take back the system." Sato interrupted him, getting into a fighting stance.
"It's scary as all hell and chances are, I'm gonna go home and crap myself after this but that's the truth." Sero said quite honestly as he got into a better stance to provide Iida with as much cover fire, so to speak as possible.
"Use your quirk to help others, to save your classmates!" Thirteen reminded him, convincing the boy who nodded his head at his new objective.
"We can buy you some time to get outta here." Uraraka told him, sure she was scared but now wasn't the time to freak out, she needed to help out.
"And I can help you fight your way to them." Ashido added on as it was a given that Iida might need some help. This was all Iida needed as he took a runner's stance facing into the USJ while Mina quickly climbed onto his back.
"Momo is in the mountainous zone from what I picked up and Midoriya might be in the Conflagration. They're more or less the same distance away and are next to each other." Shoji told him as he had been using this short break to try and make Iida's join easier by locating his targets.
"Even if the situation is dire, only fools talk about their plans right in front of the enemy!" The villain spoke up, he had heard enough and decided it was about time to take them out as well.
"We only did that because it didn't matter if you found out or not!" Thirteen shot back as she opened the cover on their pinkie finger and activated their quirk to suck in the villain's mist and keep him away from the students.
"Black Hole!" Thirteen called out as their quirk kept the villain at bay for fear of being reduced to dust.

(With Ojiro and Midoriya)
"What the hell? How strong as these two?!" One of the remaining villains asked.
"They're taken down like 50 of us already!" Another, this one with a black eye replied. They all thought was going to be simple had turned out to one be one long, drawn-out, and quite painful with moans and groans being heard from the victims of the two monsters tearing them a new one.
What the villains were referring two were the well-oiled and trained martial arts ass-kicking machines known as Mashirao Ojiro and Izuku Midoriya. It had been some time since they made themselves known again but in that small timeframe, they had been beating back thugs and villains alike like it was going out of style.
Ojiro was a skilled and strong fighter, using both punches and elbows along with his tail to knockback, knockdown, or knock out opponents, he showed them he wasn't just some kid in a Kung Fu get-up. He had taken some hits here and there from their quirks but for the most part, he was still ready to go. His tail making him dangerous in close quarters as it was quite read to keep track of an extra limb that hits like a steel baseball bat.
Midoriya on the other hand was practically dancing like a…well crane. The way he evaded strikes from both limb and quirk while landing hits was both scary and beautiful to those who had seen martial arts movies, more than once did the boy land on one leg or arm before attacking before landing back on both feet. He would evade and dodged like it an art form, block with his bō staff or wings when he couldn't, and make ingenious use of his wings to cover himself up to blind his opponents of his actions/intentions before lashing out with a brutal bō thrust, swipe or swing to the face, chest, stomach or some cases, the groin. Other times he would strike out with powerful but lighting fast kicks which sent thugs, both big and small flying or he'll hit vital nerve points or joints, more than one of them know had broken and/or dislocated shoulders and knees to show for it.
"How many thugs have you taken down?" Midoriya asked as he pushed kicked a thug so hard he crashed into a building's wall with enough force to smash through it.
"25" Ojiro replied as he dodged a punch from another, trapping the arm with his own before striking him in the chest, stomach, and neck, before throwing them back.
"Hurry up, you're falling behind, I'm already at 28." Midoriya stated with a grin as he weaved dodged a thug with a gorilla like arms, twirled behind them gathering momentum behind his staff before thrusting it right at the base of their spine, getting a pained shout out of them before he knocked them out with a well-placed chop to the back of the neck.
"They just never end, I don't know how long I can't keep this up." Ojiro said as he jumped back to avoid a thug with weak earth manipulating quirk. He was also starting to pant as the hot air and the near-endless waves of agreed-to-be cannon fodder were getting to them both.
"We don't have to, looks like there's quite the crowd here." Midoriya said as he used his wing pack to fly above someone before literally drop-kicking the dude behind him before judo throwing the first guy into the downed body, taking them both out.
"You thinking it's time for that?" Ojiro asked as the boy had told him of a plan beforehand as they run from the second group they found but he wasn't too sure it'll work. He quickly used his tail to bash another thug into the ground before he took out some ear muffs and put them on.
"Better now than never." Midoriya said as he jumped back to his side and prepped the loudspeaker that had been nothing but dead weight this whole time. "Now!" At that command, Ojiro took out another one of Midoriya's flash-bang-sonic bombs the boy had handed him earlier. He quickly pulled the pin and threw it towards Midoriya who held out a small microphone-looking stick as Ojiro covered his ears the best he could with his hands.
"What the hel-!" One of them begun to ask but was interrupted by the sonic bomb going off…
…while being amplified by the megaphone Midoriya turned on and faced in their direction.
"BANG!"
It was a deafening experience to those without proper protections, it was so loud and powerful that not only did Ojiro still hear it clearly through the muffs but next to every window in the immediate area cracked and exploded into a million pieces. The closet thugs were taking down first, dropping to the floor, foaming at the mouth as their audio receptors were shot, the further back one while still on their feet, soon fell as well.
"ARG! My ears, it hurts!"
"WHAT IS THIS!?"
"I DON'T KNOW!"
"…Did it work?!" Ojiro asked after the ringing died down, he could see just about every single target was down but wanted to be sure as some were still awake.
"Yeah, yeah it did, I think that's all of them." Midoriya answered as he already figured that the hearing for all of them was shot to hell as even those still awake would be deaf for at least a month which added to their sense of balance being screwed with as well, they won't be capable of standing upright, let alone being threats to them.
"There's gotta be 70 people here." Ojiro said as he saw dozens of bodies on the floor. He would feel proud of his skills in taking down a good chunk of them with his bare fists and tail if the situation wasn't as dire as it was.
"78 actually," Midoriya corrected as he looked over the place and true to that assessment, not a single person was getting back up anytime soon. "I scanned the number of bodies."
"Anyway, which way is the exit?" Ojiro asked as they needed to find the others as soon as possible, if their fight was this difficult it would mean everyone might have had the same deal if not worse.
"….hmmmm, that way, Green day can see it where it is." Midoriya said as he pointed south of them through an alleyway.
"Great the sooner we end this the better, I'm feeling the burn right about now." Ojiro answered as he looked over himself and saw the bruises forming alongside the soot and smoke stains from the raging fires. Honestly how did they build this place, tell Endeavour he'll get his own Star Platinum stand if he set fire to the whole place?
"Yeah you and me…GET DOWN!" Midoriya started before he noticed movement behind them, he quickly acted on instinct and spread his wings as far as possible before covering both himself and Ojiro in its protection just as two villains fired off their quirks at them, one having a fire-based one, another having a wind-based both weak on their own but together.
They created a raging inferno on par with what Endeavour can shoot out, blanketing them and the street with flames so hot they'll kill them both if they were consumed by them.
"You little shits think your all that!? Well, burn in hell!" One of the villains yelled at that, partly out of being pissed that two teens had given them this much trouble and partly because he was deafened by that last attack.
"This isn't good, these flames are much hotter than I designed my wings to handle." Midoriya told his classmate as they both hid under his wings and could see them slowly changing color as their retained more and more heat, much more than they would have liked them to.
"Then move, to the left." Ojiro suggested as he remembered seeing a burnt-out husk of a car they could use for cover instead.
"Got it." Midoriya said as he grabbed into him and jumped left, thanking his lucky stars when the firestorm now as being blocked by that car, though it was still very much hot.
"Where the hell do you think you're going?!" the other villain said as she manipulated her wind to carry the fire towards them. In response, the two boys split up with Midoriya jumping forwards and Ojiro dashing to the right to where the fire was directed to moments prior.
"Take this!" Midoriya yelled as he fired off two small rockets from his pack at them, both self-detonated just before impact but rather than painful shrapnel and a concussive force the two were expected, they were showered by a pink foam-like substance instead which very quickly expanded.
"What the, the hell is this?!" The male villain yelled, freaked out by the over-expanding foam which covered their whole bodies up to their necks before hardening, trapping them.
"Self-expanding capture foam. Mostly used in German policing and hero work but I managed to import some, now…" Midoriya answered him as he and Ojiro walked over, the green-haired lad was covered in soot and his prized inventions were still slightly glowing from the heat intake as the internal cooling system worked overtime to get rid of the damage-causing heat. He walked over to the man and looked the taller person straight in their yellow eyes before he upper-cut him in the chin so hard it nearly knocked him out. "That was for trying to roast us alive!" He finished as he stepped back satisfied with the condition of the villain.
"Agreed!" Clearly, Ojiro was just as annoyed as he punched the other villain in the face, giving her a black eye. "Okay, now can we go?" he asked his fellow student, if they got ambushed and delayed again, he'll lose it.
"Yeah but we'll have to leg it, I need to time cool down my wings." Midoriya answered as he started running in the direction of the entrance.
"Got it." Ojiro answered as he followed after him.
