"You careless bastard. You're just what I thought you'd be." Hothead started talking, "Only certain parts of you can turn into a misty warp gate. The fog gate covered your actual body, right? Back then... If you were completely made of mist and physical attacks couldn't touch you, then you wouldn't have said 'that was close'."
Woah, I didn't know Hothead was smart. Quite clever too.
You unconsciously smiled for a moment before you shook your head and looked straight again.
Kurogiri was about to move when Hothead stopped him from doing so. "If I feel like you're moving suspiciously, then I'll blow you up." Poor Kurogiri... Actually, this kind of looks like a comedy show for some reason. "His behavior isn't very hero-like..." Kirishima muttered as you nodded your head in agreement.
"Nomu." Shigaraki said facing the disgusting looking Bird Head who looked like a fan cheering for his boy band during concerts who was now going down at the warp and completely appeared on the other warp. He looked stupid.
The ice on both his right arm and right leg was now broken yet he still managed to move. Well, Broccoli kind of read your mind when he asked how in the world that bird brain was still moving. Actually, he read everyone's mind.
"Get back, everyone!" You immediately ran to the Bird Head without even listening to what All Might just said. You gestured your hand up and down making him hit the floor and the ceiling over and over again. Suddenly you got distracted when he disgustingly regenerated his arm and leg causing him to fall while you were below him, your mouth opened stupidly oblivious what was happening.
Before he could land over you, you closed you eyes. You expected Bird Brain's huge body to hit yours but you felt absolutely nothing. You opened your eyes only to see a pair of crimson eyes meeting your E/C orbs. You stared at him for a few seconds then he began to yell.
"What do you think you were doing, Stupid?! Weren't you listening to All Might just a second ago?!"
You snapped out and felt red tints spreading on your cheeks. You quickly covered your face when you realized he was holding you bridal-style. You jumped and let go of him in an instant. When you finally stood on the precious ground, you turned away from him and said, "W-Well sorry, alright?! Geez..."
You muttered the last part and quickly ran away back to where you stood before ending up in Hothead's arms.
"What? His quirk wasn't shock absorption?" All Might asked in a rather confused tone. "I didn't say that was all he had." Hand Man replied.
Well then why didn't you say so?!
"This is his super-regeneration. Nomu has been modified to take you at 100%. He's a super efficient human sandbag." He continued 'til you could feel the tense atmosphere above.
So this is how it feels to be pressured and threatened by real villains? I gotta say, it's annoying.
"First, we need to get our gate back." He spoke again.
When will your talking show end, Shigaraki?! I'm getting impatient here!
"Go, Nomu."
The smoke cleared out revealing a Nomu with Kurogiri on his hand. Midoriya looked for Bakugo and got surprised when he saw him floating in the air dumbfounded.
"Kacchan?! You dodged? That's amazing!" Midoriya exclaimed.
"No, shut up, scum!" Bakugo yelled back.
"Then how...?" Kirishima asked.
"Woops, sorry about that, Hothead. I didn't have enough time to ask for permission so ehh it can't be helped." You said from behind while raising your index finger making everyone startle a bit.
"You're gonna pay for that, Stupid!" He yelled again and you pouted a little. "Hey! It's not entirely me! I just helped All Might, Hothead!" You yelled back. Then they turned to see All Might with his arms forming an 'L' (but opposite side).
"All Might!"
"Do you not know how to hold back?" All Might asked. "It was to rescue my companions. I had no choice. I mean, earlier, that..." Shigaraki turned to Midoriya, "...that plain-looking one. He was about to punch me with everything he had, you know. Violence for the sake of others makes it admirable. Isn't that right, hero?"
He raised both his arms a bit, "You know what, All Might? I'm angry. I'm angry at this world that categorizes the same violent acts as heroic or villainous, deciding what's good and what's bad. 'Symbol of Peace'? Ha. You're just a device to repress violence. Violence only breeds violence. The world will know this once we kill you!"
"That's preposterous." All Might stated in a low tone, "The eyes of white-collar criminals like you burn silently. You just want to enjoy this yourself, don't you, you liar?"
'He's already figured me out?,' Shigaraki thought.
"It's three against six." Todoroki spoke. Midoriya nodded along, "Kacchan already exposed the fog's weakness!" He exclaimed. "These guys are crazy, but if we backup All Might, we can push them back!" Kirishima hardened both his arms, "What's with all these weird stuff you're talking?!" You butted in.
"No!" All Might said, "Run away."
"You would've been in trouble if I hadn't done anything earlier, right?" Todoroki protested. "That was a different story, young Todoroki. Thanks." All Might replied. The number one hero clenched his fist and turned his gaze to the five, "Just watch as a pro gives it everything he's got." He said.
"All Might, you're bleeding... Besides, time's--" Midoriya cut himself off right before All Might raised his thumb's up.
"Nomu, Kurogiri. Get him." Shigaraki gave the creatures he claimed,'companions', orders. "I'll deal with the children." He continued.
All Might clenched both his fists.
'It's true that I barely have a minute left. My power has been declining faster than I expected.' He thought.
"Now, let's clear this and go home." Shigaraki said as he ran fast towards the six's direction.
"Hey, we've gotta do this after all!" Kirishima said. Suddenly, All Might's face turned way more comical. Y'know, those serious and angry faces you see in comics. Yup, that's the face. Shigaraki eventually turned his gaze to All Might, completely surprised. He looked like he wasn't expecting this. In your perspective, it's both. You expected this but at the same time you didn't.
All Might and Nomu ran towards each other as their punches connected both their fists causing a strong force of wind. It felt like a tornado just popped up from the USJ which was totally cool!
"Damn. Hey, you talked about his shock absorption yourself earlier, didn't you?" Shigaraki stated.
"Yes, I did!" All Might responded and continued punching Bird Brain but always ends up punching each other's fists over and over again. The five of you couldn't stand the strong force that's keeping you from staying put. It was really annoying.
"A head-on fistfight?"
"W-Wow...!"
Damn... This fight is intense...
Finally, All Might landed his final punch to Bird Brain's stomach causing him to 'I believe I can fly' while shouting the famous line of UA, 'Plus Ultra!'. You don't know where Bird Brain exactly landed but you think he's gonna have a short trip to space.
Damn, lucky bird.
Shigaraki started to get pissed off.
Oh well, that's what you get for telling him Bird Brain's info or whatever to All Might! That's just stupid. I wonder if dad even taught them how to make a plan.

"I may have failed this time, but I will kill you next time... Symbol of Peace, All Might!" You waved your hands mockingly with a smirk before Shigaraki and Kurogiri had dissapeared. It was fun, seeing them fail with your own two eyes.
They're gonna get in trouble~
▲▲▲
"My goodness..."
"I can't believe we let them escape after they made such a big show of trespassing."
"They caught us completely unguarded, huh? More importantly, we must make sure the students are safe."
Meanwhile...
"Oi! Teleko brat!" You turned around to see Hothead coming to your direction. Your eyes travelled down to his palms and there were small explosions coming out. When you looked back to his face he was already a meter away from you.
"What's your problem?" You asked with an 'I-don't-even-care' face. He got more furious and yelled, "Don't you 'what's your problem' me! I told you you're gonna pay, right?!" You blinked, not knowing what he meant.
It took you five whole seconds to remember.
Oh yeah. Well, what's wrong with using my quirk on him?
"Oh, right. Sorry." You said bored and turned away from him and walked towards the pro heroes with the rest of your classmates.
"That's it?! Now you're gonna pay two times!"
Tch. So annoying.
▲▲▲
"Ouch..." Shigaraki groaned. "I was shot in both arms and both legs... We lost completely... Even Nomu was defeated! All the underlings were defeated in an instant. Those kids were strong... The Symbol of Peace was healthy... You were wrong, Master!"
"No, I wasn't." A voice from the screen said, not showing the man's face, "We were just not prepared enough. Yes, we underestimated them. It's good that we did it under that cheap 'League of Villains' name. By the way, what about Master and my joint creation, Nomu? He was not retrieved?"
"He was blown away." Korugiri answered. "What?!" The voice asked in disbelief. "More precisely, without coordinates to his precise location, I could not find him, even with my warp. I did not have time for that." Kurogiri answered again.
"After all we did to make him as powerful as All Might!" The voice growled, "Well, I suppose it cannot be helped. That's unfortunate."
"Power... That's right. There was one child who was as fast as All Might." Shigaraki spoke despite his wounds and blood flowing out from his body. Just how is he still alive?
"Does he have green hair, somehow?" The voice asked in curiousity, hoping his guess was right. "Yes..." Shigaraki replied, "How did you know, Master?"
"I guess Y/N is doing great after all. She also noticed. Maybe it was kind of obvious?" The voice said.
"Y/N? I'm starting to hate her... But anyway, if that boy didn't get in the way, we might have been able to kill All Might. That brat... that brat!"
"Of course you have regrets. But this was not a futile exercise. Gather the elite. Take all the time you need. We cannot move freely, which is why we need a symbol, like you. Tomura Shigaraki. Next time, show the world that you are to be feared."
"What about your daughter? I was thinking maybe she would betray us someday."
"Y/N? She wouldn't. Just trust her, Tomura."
"Alright. Make sure about that."
