Midoriya was brought to a hospital near the training camp immediately after the incident, and for two days, he was in and out of consciousness with convulsions, delirious with fever. He began to stir before he finally opened his eyes.
"You're awake." Midoriya turn to his side, seeing Y/n sitting on the chair as he wrapped a bandage on the ridge of his blade before he sheath it back to the scabbard.
"Y/n.. How long I was out?"
"About two days. And your mom just came by yesterday. Give her a call when you wake up, she said." Y/n says.
"I'm glad you're alright. Tsu-chan says you were injured by some clone villains.."
Y/n looked away as he silently think. 'I used it for a short period of time. I didn't even know that it has that kind of power as well.'
Y/n glance down at his hand. 'Blood burst. I just found out about this.'
Midoriya stare up the ceiling. "Kota.. I wonder if he's okay.." He mumbled.
"He's alright. I'm really glad you manage to defeat that Muscular guy. Here. A letter from Kota." Y/n place the paper on top of the drawer.
---
"Kota?"
"I.. I wanted to thank you and Midoriya for protecting and saving me from the villain." Kota says, Y/n smiles at the boy.
"I'm just glad you're safe now."
"..Can you please give this letter to him?" Kota asked.
"Of course. I'll give it to him when he wakes up." Y/n takes the letter from Kota.
"Thank you. You two are my heroes."

Suddenly, someone knocked before they opened the door, revealling they're classmate, Kaminari.
"Oh, Midoriya's awake!" Kaminari says as he enters the room with the others. "Did you see the news? The media's swarming the school right now."
"It's way worse than in the spring." Sato added.
"We've got a melon! We bought it together! A big melon!" Mineta says, lifting the melon high.
"I caused you trouble, Midoriya.." Tokoyami says.
"No, I did, too... Did everyone from Class A come?"
"No, Jirou and Hagakure are still unconscious from the villains' gas. And Yaoyorozu also got hit hard on the head and is hospitalized here. Apparently she ragained consciousness yesterday. So everyone but those three came.." Iida answered.
"Fifteen of us. Y/n stayed here with you when you and the others were brought here." Uraraka added.
"Bakugou's not here." Todoroki bluntly says.
"Hey, Todoroki!" Ashido exclaimed. Midoriya then suddenly remember what happened to the incident.
"All Might said, I can't save the people I can't reach. That's why he will always save those he can reach. I... was in a place where I could reach. I had to save him That's what my Quirk is for..." Tears streamed down from his eyes.
"My body.. wouldn't move... It was all I could do to save Kota.. We were able to reach Y/n before they could take him... I couldn't save someone right in front of me..."
Midoriya reflects on his failure to save Bakugou and cries.
"Then, let's save him this time." Kirishima suddenly says causing everyone in the room except me and Todoroki, shocked.
"Actually, Todoroki and I were here yesterday, too. On our way to your room, we saw All Might and a police officer talking to Yaoyorozu about the tracking device she put on Nomu." Kirishima recalled. Iida narrowed his gaze at Kirishima.
"Does this mean you're going to have Yaoyorozu make another receiver?" Iida asked.
"What if it does." Todoroki says, this cause Iida enraged as he recalled about what he did on Hosu.
"It is as All Might said! This is something we should leave to the pros! This isn't the place for us to act, you idiots!" Iida argued.
"We know that! After I heard that my friends was being targeted! I couldn't do anything! If I don't do anything now, I won't be a hero or a man anymore!" Kirishima argued back. He then faced Midoriya and reaches his hand to him.
"Hey, Midoriya, your hand can still reach! We can go save him! Even Tomioka agreed to come and save him!" After mentioning Y/n's name. They look at him in disbelief as well.
"Tomioka? You too!"
"Sorry.."
"Y/n-chan, you shouldn't. You were severely injured before." Asui says.
"It's already healed." Y/n respond in monotonous.
"But still."
"So, in short, you're planning on getting the receiver from Yao-momo, following it, and going to save Bakugou yourselves?" Ashido clarify.
"That's right, Ashido." Y/n confirmed.
"Even though the villains said we were targets to be killed, they took Bakugou without killing him. They probably let him live, but that doesn't mean they won't kill him eventually. Kirishima, Tomioka, and I are going." Todoroki stated their plan.
"Don't go overboard with your messing around!" Iida shouts.
"Wait. Calm down." Shouji intervened and stopped Iida.
"I understand Kirishima's frustration at not being able to do anything and Todoroki's frustration at having him stolen in front of his very eyes. I'm frustrated, too. But, this isn't a situation where we should act on our emotions."
"L-Let's leave this to All Might.. Mr. Aizawa's permission to fight at the training camp has been rescinded, too." Aoyama says.
"Aoyama's right. I can't say much since I was the one who needed saving, though.." Tokoyami agreed.
"But-"
"Everyone, we're all shocked from Bakugou's kidnapping. Bu let's think things through calmly. No matter how just your feelings, if you're saying you'll fight again... that you'll break the rules. Those acts are the same as those of villains." Asui stated, agreeing on letting the pros to handle this situation.
"Tsu-chan.." Y/n uttered quietly.
The students enter an awkward silence that's only broken by the arrival of a doctor seeking to speak with Midoriya alone. Kirishima tells Midoriya to meet him behind the hospital after dark.

While waiting for Yaoyorozu and Midoriya, Y/n messaged Koda to look after Kanzaburo for a while.
He wears his white polo and hakama pants, with buttoned white leg-wrapped kyahan. He wears a white long sleeved haori over it. His Nichirin blade inside his sword bag.
"Hey Tomioka, thanks for coming with us." Kirishima says,
"It's nothing. I just really wanted all my friends safe." Y/n responded before he averted his eyes.
"I wonder what Yaoyorozu decided." Kirishima muttered.
"Well, no matter how restless we are, it's up to her."
"She's here!" Yaoyorozu exited the hostipal with Midoriya, surprising Kirishima and Todoroki.
"Yaoyorozu.. What's your answer?" Y/n asked.
"I-"
"Wait!" Iida's voice gain their attention. "Why... Why did it have to be you guys of all people?! The ones who stopped me when I acted recklessly for personal reasons. Why are you trying to make the same mistake I did?!"
"What are you talking about?!" Kirishima stepped forward but Todoroki stopped him.
"We are still minors. UA is in a bad enough position as it is. Who will take responsibility for your actions? Do you understand?!"
"Iida, it's not like that. We don't think it's okay to break the rules-" As Midoriya tries to convince Iida, ends up getting punched in the face, shocking everyone else.
"I'm frustrated, too! And worried! It's only natural! I am the class representative! I'm worried about my classmates! Not just Bakugou!
When I saw your injuries, I also saw my brother in his sickbed! What if your bodies end up irreparable because of your recklessness? Are you saying you don't care about my worries?" Iida explained.
"Iida. We don't expect to face them head-on and win." Todoroki spoke up.
"We plan to rescue Katsuki covertly rather than confronting the villains directly." Y/n added.
"I trust Todoroki and Tomioka. I can stop them if anything happens, I plan to accompany them, as well." Yaoyorozu stated.
"Yaoyorozu!" Kirishima says.
"I don't know myself, either, but as long as Kacchan is within reach, I can't help but try to save him." Midoriya explains.
"Then, take me with you, too!" Iida suddenly says. "Midoriya, I apologize for getting violent with you." He bowed.
Yaoyorozu asks why Iida had a sudden change of heart. Iida explains that he's only there to prevent physical combat from breaking out. Yaoyorozu agrees that she will share this role and is compromising because she understands the boy's feelings.
"This idea of a rescue without combat is unrealistic." Yaoyorozu uttered quietly.
They all board a bullet train to Camino Ward. Midoriya asks about where the rest of Class 1-A stands. Everyone including Uraraka tried to talk them out of it.
"I think Bakugou will feel humiliated that he had to be saved by everyone.."
"That what Uraraka said." Y/n told Midoriya. Even so, he decides he won't turn back.
---
They arrive in Camino Ward.
"Okay, where are they, Yaoyorozu?!" Kirishima tries to go straight after the villains, as Y/n grab the back of his shirt to prevent him running.
"Wait a minute! We must be very careful. The villains might recognize us." Yaoyorozu stated.
"Got it!" Midoriya crossed his arms, "Gotta be covert!"
"That's making you stand out more, Izuku." Y/n says.
"Then what are we supposed to do?" Kirishima asked.
"I have a suggestion." Yaoyorozu pointed at the store. To compensate, Yaoyorozu and the boys buy disguises to change their appearances.
Y/n just bought a face mask and messily tied his hair behind his head, like how his Flame Pillar mentor tied his hair.
"Oh wow, this hairstyle is actually good." Y/n muttered.
"hURAh kURAHhhhhhHH!" Midoriya shouts,
"That's all wrong! You've gotta push your jaw out more!" Kirishima says,
"huRAAAAhhhHh!"
"That's it! Tomioka, show us yours!"
"(insert your disguise impression XD)"
"Okay!"
Afterward, they notice a crowd forming around a broadcast of a press meeting featuring U.A. High. Principal Nezu, Aizawa, and Vlad King were represent UA and publicly apologize for allowing students to come to harm.
"Aizawa-sensei, who hates being on TV, is.." Kirishima uttered.
The media asks them questions and Y/n surmises that they just want to make the school look bad.
"Huh? What are these guys saying?"
"They're not being protected at all."
"Hero schools aren't usually defeated by villains."
"How's that supposed to ensure anything? Aren't they just trying to protect themselves?"
"That's disappointing, UA."
The crowd bad mouth the school and Y/n notices that people are turning against the high school. Yaoyorozu leads the boys to what they believe to be the villain's hideout.
"We don't have anyone who excels at sneaking around, like Jirou or Hagakure, with us." Iida points out. Midoriya starts to mutter of what they'll do.
"Wait." Y/n stepped forward and focused, as he uses a Breath of sound trying to locate the villains by hearing their voices or the sound bouncing from their physical bodies.
"Tomioka, do you have enhanced hearing?" Todoroki asked.
"No, but with the Breath of sound technique, It allows me to have that ability." Y/n answered.
"That's amazing. Tell us what you hear."
"I hear..."
"That was a good decision, Shigaraki Tomura."
"A man's voice that I clearly don't recognize." Y/n turn to Midoriya. "Izuku. He mentioned Shigaraki Tomura." It made Midoriya's eyes widened before he narrowed his gaze.
---
The group decide to go around the back and use Kirishima's night vision goggles to see through a window.
"Okay, then Midoriya and Kirishima, you two look through it. Iida and I will carry you on our shoulders." Todoroki says. Kirishima and Midoriya scout the building and are frightened when they discover what's inside.
"No way... Are those.. all.. Nomu?!" Midoriya uttered. Y/n noticed a vehicle being lifted by Mt. Lady.
"Guys! Get down!"
Mt. Lady breaks open the Nomu factory, as Y/n and his classmates keep themselves at bay. Best Jeanist and Gang Orca restrain all the Nomu.
"The Nomu hangar.. Is completely under our control." Best Jeanist stated.
"Ugh, are these really alive? Is it really okay for our job to be this easy, Jeanist?" Mt. lady comments.
"Don't think about difficulty and importance together, newcomer. Riot squad, get the maidens ready. They might still be here." Best Jeanist says.
Tiger manages to find Ragdoll although it appears that she has clearly been manipulated somehow.
"What did they do to you, Ragdoll?!"
"The heroes were already moving way before we were!" Iida exclaims
"Wow..!"
"Now, let us fall back immediately. There's nothing for us to do here." Iida says.
"If All Might is there, then there's even more reason to rest easy." Yaoyorozu stated in relief. "Now, hurry!"
They all begin to walk back except for Y/n, who was still listening and heard someone's footstep.
"Y/n?" Midoriya asked.
"Sorry, Tiger. She's always had a good Quirk. It was the perfect opportunity, so I took it."
"Are you with the League?" Gang Orca asked.
"After my body turned into this I also depleted a lot of what I'd stocked up.. "
"Stop! Don't move!" Gang Orca says. Best Jeanist used his Quirk to restrain the stranger.
"Wait, Best Jeanist, what if he was an ordinary citizen?!"
"Think about the situation. The instant of hesitation could decide the fight. Don't let the villains do anything!" Best Jeanist stated.
Y/n gasped before he rushes to his friends, "Everyone get back!"
The man released an explosion, completely destroyed the whole area.
Y/n and the others manage to avoid the destruction, his classmates were shocked of what happened.
"Tomura finally started thinking and making decisions for himself... I wish you wouldn't have gotten in his way."
Y/n watch as his classmates were stricken by fear by this man's presence. Even so, it even gave them hallucination of death.
Midoriya and Y/n recalled on what All Might told them and they soon realize the man behind them was All For One.
"Now then, shall we do it?"
