"You call the reinforcements, Tracker. I'm going back in." Viser whispered before turning and heading back to the facility.

"WAIT! You can't! It's dangerous!" Tracker responded hurriedly as he typed vigorously on his work phone.

"I'll be alright. How am I supposed to be a hero if I back away from danger? I'm not gonna repeat the same mistake twice." She insisted before leaving Tracker behind.

"Damnit..." Tracker was troubled. He hid with the team as he waited for the reinforcements to come. As he glanced on the situation of the team and back to the duo, Hawks and Eraser, barely keeping themselves alive from the barrage of attacks sent by the Nomus, he couldn't help but grimace. His eyes wandered back to Viser's silhouette as she ran. He couldn't help but curse.

"Damnit!!"

"Tsk, fucking villains! Where the hell are they coming from!!" One particular disobedient teenager grumbled as he blasted his way through the narrow halls of the facility. The villains tried their best to stop him from advancing any further but alas, they're nothing less than a headless chicken infront of Katsuki. After all, most of these villains aren't exactly suited for battles.

As Katsuki venture further into the facility, more and more battle-oriented villains started to show up, slowing him down significantly. It was hard fighting in this narrowed space, a true disadvantage to Katsuki's quirk. Despite the hardships he faced, Katsuki continues to search the halls for the room labeled as 'LAB'. After a few minutes of running, Katsuki heard a loud noise outside.

"Tsk, what the hell are they doing!"

"Leave while I'm still being nice."

Suddenly, a voice interrupted his thoughts. It was a large man, prominent scar on his face streaking from his forehead all the way to the side of his mouth. He was double the size of Katsuki but Katsuki was not fazed at all. Right behind the man was the objective of Katsuki, a room labeled 'LAB'.

"Fuck off old man while I'm still being nice."

Katsuki scowled, either he was trying to piss the guy or he's just pissed like usual. Either way, he was successful on angering the man. He looked as though the veins in his head was about to burst. The man lunged at him but Katsuki skillfully leaped right above him and blasted the man's nape, knocking him out.

"Tsk, fucking loser." he grumbled spitefully.

Finally, Katsuki entered the LAB. His eyes darted everywhere, trying to find something, someone.

"Fuck.... Where are you...!"

He continued to search the room, not a single paper was left unturned. He looked everywhere, the desks, the drawers, the ceilings, everywhere, even the walls—!

"Huh."

Alas, he felt a slight bump on the corner of the wall. It was almost unnoticeable but he can feel the slight change as his hands passed the area. Under the dirty wallpaper, there was a... Switch? No. Button? No. There was a sensor. It glowed under the wallpaper as part of the wall started to seamlessly separate and open, leading to a whole new hallway.

"The hell. This place is a literal labyrinth!"

Katsuki walked through the short corridor. There was a tinted glass wall at the end. As he approached, a ding sound was heard and the tinted glass wall slid up. There was an unpleasant odor however, the view compensates...

"Found you."

~~~

The weather forecast did not say it would be raining heroes today but it is! A punch sent from above hit one of the Nomu's head, burying half of its body to the ground and knocking it down. The other was burned to crisp with raging fire then stabbed multiple times in less than a second, skewering its immobile mutilated body. Then, the last one was subdued with the cooperation of three highly ranked pro heroes, each taking turns in overwhelming the enemy with a barrage of attacks.

"Tsk.. Even now, I can't keep up with him...!"

The man previously, cursed under his breath as he watched his creations defeated. As he observed his definite loss, he felt his device vibrate. He checked what it was going crazy about and the news made his spine chill, knowing full-well what's gonna happen when the higher ups find out. Nonetheless, he can't escape their grasp, so there was no choice but to inform them. But before he left, he injured himself with a knife on his side to make it seem like he fought to near death, atleast his life would be spared.

He prepared to leave yhe vicinity, coiling metals underneath his feet to spring him high into the sky before controlling another piece of metal to fly him out of this place as soon as possible. The heroes couldn't keep up with the speed he was going, but at least his identity was recorded.

As the man soared as fast as he could on the clouds, he couldn't help but feel nauseous and dizzy, his head spun as he continued to control the only piece of travel he had. When he realized that he was near the base, he headed down, hoping to land safely but alas, he crashed right through the roof, adding to his injuries (which are caused by his own stupidity), causing a loud explosion noise to erupt.

Meanwhile, back to the heroes.

"Everything's alright now! Why!? Because I am he— *cough*"

And.... Now we have smallmight instead of Allmight. Even so, everyone in this mission already knew Allmight's condition, so it was no new news for them. As everyone was being treated, Eraser couldn't help but continuously look at the direction of the facility.

"You know you could just go and search for him yourself." Recover Girl,  the legend, suggests.

"I know. That's what I'm planning to do." Eraser replies as he swiftly shifts his dislocated arm back to its place. He stood up immediately and walked into the direction of the facility, weapons on hand, when the silhouette of four people was seen approaching them.

"Get ready." Eraser warns as he vigilantly engaged into a fighting stance. So did the others.

Eraser lunged forward and wrapped his capture weapon the the first person which was....

"Tracker!?"

Tracker, binded with Eraserhead's capture weapon replied, "Yes, yes, it's just me Shota... Please let go of me now."

Eraser complied. Finally, the Eraser caught glimpse of who was following Tracker.

"Bakugo, you're finally here.... The green villain... And a child..?"

"What's  a child doing here?!" Hawks, who already caught up with Eraser, exclaimed.

The said child held tightly onto his brothers tattered shirt while the brother securely covered the child with his wing, holding her closer to him. Bakugo, glancing back at the green villain, replied to Eraser's and Hawk's question.

"She's with him... Sensei, this is... Izuku Midoriya. He's finally found..!"

Bakugo held back his emotions as he moved back beside the identified villain. But, it's clear from the look on his eyes, the relief and happiness... Of finally finding his special someone, his best friend.
