~O~

"This is it..." Midoriya mumbled underneath his breath.

A huge smirk made it's way to Midoriya's face before he looked up at the sky, extending his arms outwards.

"You guys just started a fire you cannot put out!!!"

This was the moment his real plan begun. He didn't only trick the villains into this battle, he also tricked the heroes and his classmates into this battle.

It feels amazing when your plan has multiple layers and the others could only scratch out a little...

What? You expected him to tell them his actual plan?

Nope.

He divided it. Spread it. Commanded them — the one thing he learnt from Bakugou. They didn't even know what they were actually doing.

It's great that you build up trust among your team, form a bond and explain basically everything to them.

But sometimes, you gotta play them. You gotta command them, boss around them. You gotta take the wheel...

Now to the villains, Midoriya had already joined them, gained their trust and figured out their plans. Gained a special power using their own power with his wonderful trickery. He couldn't help but hold back his smirk. They wouldn't attack him. Why would they? He was the one who was fighting for them. In Shigaraki's eyes, Midoriya was the only one who could handle the heroes. They wouldn't attack him. Nope. Not at all. They were looking at him for help.

And that's where they were wrong...

On the other side, to the heroes; Midoriya was only a tool of confirmed information. They wouldn't force him to go back at UA, they were instructed to leave him there and take Best Jeanist instead. He could continue with his little scheme when they left. They were tricked into believing that the boy was probably on a mission conducted by the commission or something. He was nothing but a student gathering information on the villains.

That's where they were wrong...

And finally to his dear, dear friends; he was supposed to be rescued. He was just a victim that asked for help indirectly while he gathered information. They didn't know anything else about his plan. They we're probably gonna come to him and try to safely take him back to UA High as instructed in the journal. Well, Midoriya told them that he'd be back in five days but he also instructed them to come to his rescue just as Endeavor got the case. They knew he would gather information, but to them, this boy played the victim as well. They were going to rescue him no matter what and Midoriya knew that. That's why what would happen next would brilliantly support his plan.

Snapping out of his train of thoughts, the boy looked around. He was so calmly standing amidst the utter chaos that was happening right now. He couldn't help but smile.

Shigaraki was fighting off All For One instead of the heroes. The boy looked so, so desperate trying to keep his mentor from fighting. He looked so, so dumb, gullible and naïve. He tried his best to push All For One out of the battlefield while he commanded the last standing villain; Spinner to take care of the others just as Kurogiri arrived on the scene with Gigantomachia.

Endeavor got busy with the Nomu after he saw his son and yelled 'Shoto' — who was unfazed by his reaction, while Hawks dealt with the others with the seven teenagers that stepped into the battlefield, ready to take on their enemy.

With his incredible speed, Hawks pinned down Kurogiri. The winged hero turned to see that Todoroki froze Spinner in place, making him immobile for the time being. Shiozaki and Yaoyorozu held down the unconscious ones just in case. Komori and Kaibara fled downstairs to help Best Jeanist. Shinsou and Monoma were looking around for Midoriya who stood in the middle of all the smoke and debris, apparently hidden from their sight. Shigaraki and All For One were practically not even there now.
