Chapter 96: Hideout Raid Arc (4)
~Third POV~
[Day 6, Train, Japan]
The day of the attack on the League of Villains finally arrived as Ren took the train to reach his destination. He began to think to himself in a curious tone, recalling the events of the Hideout Raid Arc, 'If I recall correctly… Yokohama City in Kanagawa. Specifically, the Kamino Ward is where the Nomu storage will be located.'
Shifting his gaze to the outside window of the train, staring into the starry night sky, he continued talking to himself, eating a bento box, "It should be a 2-hour trip from here in Nagano, so I'll be arriving around 10 PM. Fortunately, Toga has some friends staying over to keep her company."
Ren recalled how after he wrecked Toga and corrupted Ochaco, she said she was having a sleepover with a few other girls in class. Seeing this as the perfect excuse he excused himself out of that situation to his real goal in mind.
He laughed to himself lightly, seeing how Toga has changed being around people who understand her, "Hahaha… I suppose she has changed. At the very least, I won't have to worry much about her going crazy with Mina, Toru, Kinoko, and Ochaco. Although I get the impression, I'm missing something out…"
He hummed to himself, missing an opportunity or not, before ultimately shaking his head and sighing out loud, eyes eager at the destination ahead, "Sigh… well, I increase my bond with infinity girl. But I wonder what the future ahead will look like…"
Ren simply closed his eyes as he began to ponder to himself the challenge and changes ahead for him. He used this time to plan using [High Spec] his goals during this encounter with All for One.
Checking his phone and the train station from his seat, he smirked as he thought in a serious tone, 'Seems like I arrived at my destination… it's time for the world to change drastically. Time to game on.'

[Police Station, Kamino Ward, Yokohama, Japan]
Meanwhile, an assembly was held within the police station in preparation for their raid, revealing a roster of pro heroes appearing before them, along with a few staff members of UA here.
Endeavor spoke up as his flames cackled in an annoyed tone, being called on an emergency, "Why do I gotta go and clean up UA's mess…? I got places to be."
Perfecting his hairdo, the no.4 Pro Hero Best Jeanist replied, scolding his colleague in this critical situation, "Oh, c'mon… you're an alum, aren't you?"
Endeavor scoffed as Detective Naomasa Tsukauchi spoke up wearing his bulletproof vest in a serious tone and said, "This isn't just UA's call you're heeding… try to see the big picture, Endeavor. We have to settle this now, with full force!"
Best Jeanist agreed with the Detective as Aizawa spoke calmly, gripping his capture weapon with Present Mic, "I agree with the Detective. And we're not dealing with your ordinary group of villains either. They took a friend of mine…"
Present Mic put his hand over Aizawa's shoulder and spoke in a determined tone, "We've both got a personal stake in this game!"
Nodding their heads, Detective Tsukauchi spoke up, already explaining the plan in a serious tone, "Good. Now that that's settled, let's get back to planning. With UA making a public apology, this will make the League of Villains lower their guard, granting us the perfect chance to counterattack. At the same time, we'll move in on the other possible hideout that we gained information about being a Nomu Factory. By cutting off all paths of retreat, we'll be able to take down the entire organization."
Detective Tsukauchi gazed at the Pro Heroes Eraser Head, Present Mic, All Might, Endeavor, Kamui Woods, Mt. Lady, Gang Orca, the Wild, Wild Pussycats, and Mirko. Mirko smacked her hands together with a feral grin, announcing in a confident tone, "Heh! I've been meaning to get some action! I'll be sure to kick those sorry villains' asses!!"
Gang Orca soon eyes Mirko, asking in a curious tone, joining up on Hideout Raid about the solo heroine's actions, "It's rare for you to join in a raid, Mirko. What's the occasion that brought you of all people here?"
Understanding from a few Pro's views, Mirko is someone who always works alone. Hearing his question, she jabs a thumb to herself with a grin, speaking confidently, "I usually don't do team-ups, but I'll make an exception for here. After all, these League of Villains have been annoying my intern and even threatened his friends. No way in hell I'm letting them escape this and miss out on such a fight…!"
Endeavor scoffed at Mirko's battle junkie behavior, knowing who she was referring to, as did some of the people in the room, aware of the intern that worked under her. However, her demeanor changed as Detective Tsukauchi warned the heroes in a serious tone, "But that's not all we're planning to draw the Mastermind out. And if our info is correct… we'll be dealing with the SS-Rank Villain… All for One."
Hearing who the mastermind might brought the older heroes to chill, with All Might's expression shifting to a serious tone said, "All for One… I'll be sure to end your reign this time. I'll make sure of it."
Nodding at the seriousness of the situation Detective Tsukauchi spoke out in a determined tone having his men and heroes ready, "With everything set will have All Might be the one to first to engage. If All for One is there, the rest of you will be ready to ambush. Is everyone in agreement?"
With everyone nodding in unison, Detective Tsukauchi smirked, speaking in a determined tone, "Good. Let's go. It's time for payback! Time to turn the tables, heroes!!"

[League of Villain Hideout, Kamino Ward, Yokohama, Japan]
For the past 2 days since the attack, the League of Villains was enjoying the news, making slander of how the villains located the heroes with Tomura saying, "Heh. Looks like those heroes are taking all the slander well with the media hounding their asses."
The members of the League of Villains merely leaned against the wall, seeing their work was barely much as they survived the encounter, with All Might busy taking 3 of them down before he reached them.
Seeing Tomura not caring much didn't leave much leadership, but they did their job if only to be called short, with All Might appearing to destroy any future attempts at their plan in motion, resulting in losing 3 of their members. However, they achieved their objective by showing fear and people speaking up for UA's incompetence, allowing students to be endangered.
In that way, they completed taking the people's faith in heroes away with their stunt. But even Tomura's eyes narrowed as the news about All Might appeared in an annoyed tone and thought, 'All Might… I must destroy him He is too much of an obstacle to overcome and in need of reinforcements after those 3 got caught by him.'
Scratching his neck annoyed by how their mission went attacking the students at the Summer Camp turned out to be a trap. Even their inside spy wasn't getting any calls as All for One assumed the worst that his rat got caught, leading to how All Might appeared.
Through the monitor in the room, All for One spoke up in a neutral tone, congratulating Tomura for his plan, "It seems that the hero is having a hard time with recent events, Tomura. But you'll do better next time spread your infamy soon…"
Tomura merely nodded his head, thanking his master. The other villains felt an oppressive aura from the man behind the monitor, keeping to their toes as All for One spoke to Kurogiri in a neutral tone, "Kurogiri, have you made plans on recruiting more villains into the League yet?"
Hearing that question, Kurogiri nodded his head as he spoke in a stoic tone, "After this latest blunder, few hardly showed from Giran, but after the news, getting new members might be possible."
Tomura smirked at the news. While his plan succeeded in instilling fear, it failed in its initial steps of harming the students. He scratched his neck in a neutral tone and thought, 'Still… losing our insider is quite a disadvantage for us. I'm willing to bet it was him. Ren Yuki… he's the only one that can figure out who the traitor was… that damned brat.'
Despite being skeptical and lacking any evidence, Tomura's instincts told him that Ren might've been involved in how they lost their spy, reminding him of All for One in some similarities.
Unaware to the villains that the broadcast that was slandering UA was all a distraction for them to lower their guards. It was at that moment a knock was heard, gaining the League of Villains' attention.
*Knock*
From the sudden knock on the door, the All for One monitor suddenly turned off. Then came a voice from outside, "Hello. Kamino Pizza delivery!"
Tomura turned his gaze at Kurogiri calling out to him in an annoyed tone, "Kurogiri! Did you order pizza?"
Kurogiri's eyes narrowed, shaking his head, Tomura slowly reached the door, keeping a low profile in an annoyed tone, and responded, reaching the door handle, "Fine… hey man, we didn't order any – "
*Click*
Tomura opened the door, but instead of a pizza, he found himself handcuffed with a [Negation] Cuff. His eyes slowly followed up finding himself face to face with All Might standing proudly with a broad smile.
His fists rested heroically on his hips as he boomed, hugging Tomura in a happy tone, "Fear not, for I am here! I've come to save you!!"
*Silence*
The villain's expressions were mouth agape, seeing the scene before them. Even Kurogiri was baffled by this scene, but none more so than Tomura, his brain slowly processing, muttering in an equally confused tone, "Eh? I'm not drugged… or hallucinating this shit, right…?"
Placing his hand onto Tomura's shoulder, still holding him in an unexpected embrace, "I've got you he won't hurt you anymore!"
Tomura, realizing their cover was blown, made a quick command to Kurogiri in a frantic tone, "Kurogiri! Warp us – "
But at that moment, jumping from behind All Might, Kamui Woods appeared using his Ultimate Move in a determined tone, "[Preemptive binding: Lacquered Chain Prison]!"
*WHAM*
*KRUNCH*
By using his Ultimate Move [Lacquered Chain Prison], Kamui Woods uses this move to shoot out from the user's arms and form a wooden prison around the enemy as an absolute preemptive confinement. It takes the enemy by surprise, restricting their ability to move at every opportunity. It can also be used to restrain multiple opponents simultaneously.
At that moment, the League of Villains members were all tied up in wood, catching the villains by surprise. But Dabi, noticing the wood, spoke up in a stoic tone, activated his Quirk, "Wood, huh?! This could hold – "
*FAKOOM*
Suddenly entering the scene knocking Dabi's head fiercely with a strong kick Mirko hopped into the scene with a feral grin yelling out loud, "How careless of you to pay attention to only them!"
Seeing the line up Mr. Compress soon introduced the heroes that arrived standing by each other in a surprised tone, "That's the young upstart Kamui Woods!! The fiercest rabbit Mirko! And the no.1 hero of Japan… All Might…!! Right after the press conference, though? They timed this…!"
Tomura struggles to get away from All Might, and his Quirk is nullified by the [Negation] Cuffs, unable to access his [Decay] Quirk. Twice struggled to escape the bindings as he yelled out, "This tree guy knows how to pull, for sure! And push!!"
*Swip*
Slipping through the cracks of the doorway came Edgeshot as he spoke in a stoic tone, lecturing the villains while getting the assault squad inside, "One must never neglect defense. Especially when attacking… Kamino Pizza is… more than just one of us here. Endeavor's out there, along with some other skilled heroes and the police. You're surrounded."
Struggling to break free Tomura yells back looking up at All Might with a hateful glare commanded Kurogiri, "After all our scheming and plotting… the final boss goes and shows up on our doorstep… no use, then… we're not the only one's you gotta worry about Kurogiri… bring 'em all over to play!!"
The villains flinched as Kurogiri tried using his Quirk as the gas began to dissipate from his figure in a defeated tone, "I… I can't… I can't use my Quirk…!"
*Tmp*
Stepping inside were Eraser Head and Present Mic, prepared to intervene but resigned as the black mist began to retreat, revealing the blue hair and tan skin of the man beneath. Present Mic almost dropped to his knees, seeing their old friend Oboro as Kurogiri finally snapped, saying in an angry tone, "What is wrong with you two? Why are you looking at me like that?!"
Both flinched, seeing their dead friend's angry expression directed at them. Tomura's eyes widened as his expression turned into despair, seeing they couldn't access their spare Nomu's.
And to add even more fuel to their defeat, All Might explained in a neutral tone, confusing and concerning Tomura of the news, "Looks like you've still got a lot to learn… Tenko Shimura. Your little league has gone and taken some things too lightly… the relentless police investigation and as well as our rage! Your mischief's gone on long enough. You no longer have to follow AFO, for I am here to bring you back to the light. It ends here!!"
Tomura could only feel despair hearing those words as he gulped the unknown future he was heading towards as the echoes of his Master's thoughts entered his mind, 'You'll be okay now. I'm here for you.'
*GUSH*
*GUSH*
*GUSH*
*GUSH*
That was when the effects of the [Warping] Quirk activated, sending a barrage of Nomu's catching the Hero's attention. But the villains barf a black substance as All Might's eyes widened trying to grab Tomura…
*BURST*
But it was in vain as he couldn't save Tomura as he yelled in a desperate tone, "NOOOO!!"
