Kiriwo watched as the man burst in. Buff, colorful, rabbit ears. No WONDER so many rumors about Love Bunny popped up, the man was a rodent on steroids that made everyone that looked at him think they were high on colors.
But that smile … that horrid smile drilled into his stomach. It wasn't fear, no that was from Tomura, the guy who could somehow decay magic, talking with Baal about that later. It wasn't sadness either, that was when Deku broke his plans without any form of care towards himself. This … was revulsion. That smile screamed of everything being okay. It screamed of hope, puppies, world peace, and love. It was the most disgusting thing he's ever seen.
This was someone who could help millions, who could 'save everyone with a smile'. This was Deku-kun's hero, the man that ruined EVERYTHING .
No, it wasn't ruined. He was probably the only thing keeping the boy together to break at all. He couldn't see despair if the boy lived in it. He … twisted it. He made things wrong and upside down and horrid. He needed to die.
Without a second thought he placed a barrier box on the man's head, cutting off oxygen. "All Might!" He screamed. "I will make you die in the most agonizing way! The world will never have hope again! Go Beyond … Plus Ultra … into-"
The man slapped both sides of his head, and the barriers fell as if it was nothing. Before he could do anything else, he felt something long and hard wrap around his body. Shit, he almost forgot that heroes were close to demon level nowadays … meaning he was fighting the equivalent of a Great Lord, even injured.
"Hope will never die!" The man shouted. "Do you know why? Because I am here." He felt himself wanting to puke. No wonder this guy made Deku-kun feel so inspired. His best friend was striving to be EXACTLY like this to the netherworld. He needed to work fast, or else Deku-kun WOULD bring this level of hope back home.
"Hope will never die?" He laughed. "Oh it will, when your bones rot in agony and despair as I feast on your corpse in front of a camera!" The taste would be bitter, but it would be worth it!
"I thought Moonfish was the cannibal on your team, at least in the reports." A wooden man asked for a tied up Compress.
"He acts 'like a demon', so he's always saying stuff like that." Rude, but if they wanted to keep his 'cover' so be it.
"You shouldn't joke around." Dabi began burning his way out, the vines turning to ash-until the villain was kicked by an old man far too fast for his own age.
"Who says we're joking?" The old man said. "Your little operation is done for. You're caught, and we're taking you all in."
"You're completely surrounded." A man who looked like he 'unfolded' from thin air appeared. "By both the police and powerful pros. And without your warpgate…" He gestured to Kurogiri. "..You have nowhere to run either."
"No choice then … Kurogiri, Nomu!" Tomura shouted out. An army of monsters that would show them! Devouring these 'heroes' with human flesh! The irony!
"They're not where they're supposed to be." What? "They've been moved. I wasn't told…!"
"Sensei…why…." Tomura growled in a low voice, before turning to All Might. "You….it's always you…you're always in my way!!" The man growled with a hate he hadn't seen in a single human soul. "I tried to spare you, I tried to take the nice way out, but here you are, still in my way!" The villain … his partner … shouted with utter rage. Maybe he was wrong to just judge him as a worthless human with a strong ability. Maybe there was a demon in there somewhere, that just acted as differently as this group preached. The demon of humanity.

Best Jeanist held a hand on Miriko, holding her back as Mt. Lady made sure the defenses were thoroughly demolished … by using a car shoe to utterly kick the shit out of the place. "You know, after fighting giant villains all the time, or hard to hit flyers, this is kinda fun."
"Not exactly the most subtle entry, but effective nonetheless." He sighed. The time for subtlety was long gone if the raid on the bar was going off as it should. "Just be careful, there could still be Nomu around, and this is a rescue above all else."
She stopped hitting, taking a look inside. "... I found the Nomus …" She reached in, a loud tearing of metal was heard. "Okay wow, heavy. Ryukyu, help me a bit here will you?"
"Alright. I'll-Miriko don't!" The dragon tried to call out, as did he, but the rabbit Hero jumped into the building. "We're supposed to stick together!"
"Alright, you do that! I'll find my Kit!"
Best Jeanist sighed. "I'll follow, stay outside and look for suspicious activity." He spoke, running in. Inside was a dark and damp place, filled with torn machinery from the actions of Lady.
Miriko looked around, until she seemed to spot something, running to a cage. "KIT! Inside was Suzuki, holding onto Ragdoll's body, looking scared beyond reason. He double checked her body, confirming a pulse. "We'll get you out alri-"
"No, run, help Bu-All Might!" The kid spoke. "He's in danger, real danger!"
"Tell us later!" The rabbit hero gave the cage a good kick right in the lock, and it busted open. "Kit, don't scare me like that again!" She wrapped her arms around him, very maternal like.
"Ragdoll!" Tiger rushed, looking the girl over. "She's okay, but unconscious. What happened to her?"
"Her quirk is gone." That made everyone freeze in place. "We need to run, now." He spoke up again, fear in his voice. "We need to leave fast before he comes back. You need to help All Might."
"Why? Who's coming back?" He asked the boy, having a sinking feeling he wouldn-
"That would be me." The room gained a dark chill, turning to see a man in a business suit and a metal mask, way too bulky to just be for effects. "My name is All For One. I'd say it's a pleasure to meet … but then I'd be lying."
"We can't run, we can't run, we can't run." The kid was stuck in a trance, PTSD in place.
His response was swift, sending out wire after wire, thread after thread. The inside of the factory makes a perfect place to connect and spin, entrapping the villain in place. "You're not getting off easy, villain."
"Oh my, truly the power of the number four hero. I can't move a muscle under all this." He spoke sarcastically. "Oh, wait, Bakugo has a connection to you, and Suzuki has a connection to Miriko. It's funny how the world works with overprotective parents. They end up so protective they stupidly give away their lives."
"It's not stupid to take care of your kids, then again, someone like you wouldn't know about that!" The rabbit hero held Suzuki close to her.
"Oh, feisty little girl aren't you. You're a fan of your legs right?" The man sparked, Jeanist felt something wrong with his threads. "Let's test them out." With a simple pulse of energy the entire warehouse was leveled, everyone shoved back. Two shots rang out with cries being heard of Lady and Ryukyu.
Footsteps came close once the ringing stopped from whatever the hell that was, as the villain walked to their vacitty, cracking his neck. "Come on now, you wanted to protect your kit didn't you? Or should I go ahead and show him what it means to say no to me?" He was goading her.
"You sick son of a bitch!" She placed Suzuki next to the downed Tiger, leaping straight at him. "Luna Ax!" She delivered a drop kick with full ferocity … only to be caught by a single hand. He's watched her tear through steel and diamond, hardening quirks like butter. But this one villain caught it easily.
"Perfect, now I don't need to walk. And neither do you."
CRUNCH
The scream was heartbreaking, Miriko glaring with hatred and tears. It was matched by the look of sorrow and spite Suzuki held, conflicted between charging in and staying back. Before anyone could do anything else, All For One titled his head. "Well, well, well, it seems I need to make room for a few more guests." The bastard threw Miriko into the sky, flinging her blocks away. "But first let's clear out the rats." The man aimed a palm at him, and the next thing he knew he couldn't feel his stomach.

"Where is your boss!?" All Might shouted at them. "Where is All For One!?" Seems the man did have a connection with the infamous villain. Getting caught between that blood feud felt like a death sentence. "Where is Young Suzuki!?"
"Iruma shouldn't be infected with bastards like you. He's the only one that understands. The only one that gets it." Mange watched as Tomura's hands got super twitchy, unable to scratch himself.
"He understands jack shit, your both just so child like that you feel fucking validated!" Bakugo shouted what was probably the truth, but they both seemed like decent people. Given, one was a villain, but villains could be decent.
"He sees beyond that 'perfect' society you claim to create. You don't inspire a better society, you just shove away what doesn't fit!" Tomura twitched and struggled against his restraints. "I hate you, I hate you, I HATE YOU!" His screams echoed within the busted room. "I don't care how long it takes, I'll erase every section of this world you've ever touched, and I'll throw your name into entropy!"
Kiriwo was laughing now, that never ended well. "Let's go ahead and throw it into anarchy! The strong and powerful, the weak and defensless, the smart and the dumb, a free for all of chaos!" He exclaimed. "So I shout to whatever force that gives Deku-kun his luck, come on and give us something! You can't let something as incredible as this go to waste!" That seemed a bit stupid to rely on.
"RAAAA!" Or it summons Nomu … because why not?
"Nomu!?" Kamui Woods shouted in confusion. "Endeavour, we need back up!" He shouted to the pro that was presumably outside. "The fuck do you mean you're dealing with an army outside!?"
"I knocked Kurogiri out, he shouldn't be capable of doing this!" Edgeshot shouted, fending off a Nomu trying to attack him.
"There's only one explanation…All For One is here." The number one hero growled.
"Sensei …" Tomura whispered. "He's here … he's here to-" The guy was caught off as something caught up in his throat, now he was barfing out slime. Oh god, she could feel it in hers too. It was disgusting!
"Hey-!" Toga yelled as the black slime came out of her mouth too, as it did with everyone else in the league, even with the unconscious Dabi.
"Fuck-" Bakugo started coughing up black slime as well, even held within All Might's grasp. It was the last thing she saw before their vision became slime, soon to be replaced with air once more, and a … wasteland? Nope, too busy breathing.
"I'm sorry for not being more accommodating, but I felt like it was urgent for me to intervene." Tomura's sensei was floating in the air, below him a battered group of heroes, particularly a downed Miriko and a Best Jeanist with a hole right in the middle of his body.
Gazing around, Mange could see Mt Lady, Ryukyu, Gang Orca, and Tiger also in the body count … holy fuck this guy was the real deal, wasn't he? "Sensei." She could hear Tomura speak. "I'm sorry, the heroes caught on and-"
"Tomura, how many times have I told you?" The king of villains looked like he was smiling under his mask. "It doesn't matter how many times you fail … I am here for you."
"Just like Aniki." She heard Kiriwo reply sympathetically. Creepy as fuck.

They stayed silent. It was the only reason they've been alive so far. Tenya was currently holding back Toru from doing something stupid. "That villain…he's the one incharge of it all…" Setsuna gasped in horror, utterly terrified as they all should be."
"What gave it away? The fact he said I am here, or the fact that he decimated three top ten heroes without trying?" Toru sounded just as terrified as them, even if she tried to hide it.
"It's him…" Shoto looked the most frightened out of all of them. "All For One…"
"You knew about this?" Tenya asked, his appalled expression showing in his voice.
"Long story short, I got All Might to tell me about him. He's been around for hundreds of years with hundreds of stolen quirks." The boy said, barely able to take his eyes off the scene. "If we fight him head on, we die. The man can go toe to toe with All Might, we just need to be calm and-"
"Bakugo, you're okay!" … Of course the two people they were going to save were right fucking there . "Oh, I'm so glad you're not hurt! Wait, you didn't get hurt, did you? You didn't repeatedly get your arms broken and painfully healed, did you?"
"No, it was mostly annoying talk-what did you say?" The rest also paused, processing those words.
"We came to a simple disagreement." The voice of the villain spoke up. "He knows All Might's greatest secret and I'm trying to get it from him without permanent injury. I'm sorry I've caused him pain, Tomura, I know how much he means to you."
Toru, despite being invisible, had a face of utter hatred. "I'm going to kill him."
"Toru, while I feel greatly inclined to agree with you, we can't rush in without a plan!" Ibara reminded them.
"Sensei … I don't understand-"
"Just as I'm your successor, he's All Might's. Precautions must be taken. I'm doing my best to ensure your safety … like the little rats around here, probably a hero or two behind a wall … maybe younger." He was calling them out.
"What do we do!?" Momo cried out in a whisper.
"We need a plan." Ejiro had been silent this whole time. "Something, anything." How would they get out of this without dying?
"However, for now I suggest you all take cover … there's someone I need to kill." They could hear what sounded like a jet approaching.
"CAROLINA SMASH!" The voice of All Might roared through the air, the main directing his entire attack on the absolute monster of a villain.
Said villain caught All Might, arguably the strongest hero in the world, with a single hand. "It's been a long time coming, my old enemy."
