Izuku knew that something was wrong as soon as the power went out. He waited for the backup generators to kick in, but when nothing happened, he immediately kicked into action. He tried to check the cameras, but without the power from the grid or the generators, they were still offline. They would have still had visualization of the students from the little spider bots that Mei had created... if his computer hadn't been affected by the blackout. This was bad. This was very very bad.

Mineta: Very very very bad...

"Mei." Izuku asked. "What would cause a critical failure like this?"

"Sabotage." Mei answered grimly. "Someone would have had to destroy or disable every single backup generator and the backups to the backups before cutting the power to get it to go out like this."

"So this is an attack." Izuku took a deep breath. "How soon can we have power back online?"

Mei: Should be five minutes but...

Power Loader: If she runs into trouble...

"Give me five minutes." Mei was already grabbing her tools, "Maybe ten if I run into trouble."

Izuku nodded. "I need to track down my laptop. I'll try to find some of the students and have them guard you. Our highest priorities are to get power back online and probably find Uraraka, since she'll make communication easier...."

His phone buzzed in his pocket and he frowned as he looked at who the message was from, "Why is Kaminari of all people texting me?"

Kaminari: Right Trapper stole my phone.

There was an image attached and Izuku clicked on it hesitantly, expecting a meme, not a photo of Hitoshi tangled in Mineta's purple balls in one of the back halls of UA. His mouth went dry.

"Nevermind." Izuku swallowed. "Priorities changed."

And then they heard something crash.

Hawks: They change scenes now?!

Mina hurried down the hall, looking for any one of her classmates. She'd gotten separated from her partner by some of the 1B students with creepy quirks and hadn't been too concerned about it, but then the lights went out, so it was just her, acid skating down the hall in almost pitch black darkness. She heard a large crash and pushed herself even faster.

She saw an odd shape moving away from her through the darkness and called out, "Hey! Wait up!"

Mineta: That's me... Ashido catch Trapper please!

Mina: Yeah I hope I do!

The shape started going faster and Mina huffed in frustration, "Hey! I said, wait up, don't run away from me!"

She skated after them as fast as she could go and rammed into them within seconds, sending the shape sprawling to the floor.

"Hey! What's the big idea?!" Mineta's shrill voice echoed through the hall and Mina groaned. Of course it had to be Mineta.

Mina: Don't underestimate him, he's the traitor!

She looked around the hall and froze when she saw Shinso, unconscious and completely stuck in a net of purple balls, "Uh... you weren't partnered with Shinso for the exercise."

There was just enough light for her to see Mineta roll his eyes, "Yeah, no !(@#$. Now just run away and maybe I'll let you live."

Toga: Well, someone's done hiding.

"What are you talking about?" Mina scrambled to her feet. "What are you doing with Shinso?!"

"None of your business, #@$(&." Mineta growled.

Hagakure: Okay when Mineta swears that's actually kind of intimidating.

"Uh, no?" Mina coated her hands with acid. "You're trying to hurt one of my friends so, uh, duh, yeah, it's my business!"

She skated by and tried to grab Shinso, only to get tripped up by a barrage of sticky balls landing right in her path. She managed to catch her footing again and turned back toward Mineta, dropping into a fighting stance, only to freeze as she realized the balls were dissolving as soona s they came in contact with her acid.

"Wait, that looks familiar..." Mina's jaw dropped. "I saw pictures of that on the news. You... you're Trapper, you're a villain!"

Mineta: Take him out already!

"Nice of you to finally catch on." Mineta said dryly. "Now get out of my way!"

Joke: Another scene change?!

Todoroki looked around the room when the lights went out, taking in the teachers' expressions with a growing sense of dread, "The blackout isn't part of the exercise, is it?"

"No." Aizawa said seriously. "It isn't."

"Well, the plans to attack the camp obviously didn't work." Shigaraki said. "So instead of abandoning the quest, they must have decided to keep going after their objectives and attack UA directly. If they had the balls to do it though, they didn't run it by me at all."

Shigaraki: Course they didn't.

"Is there anything else you can give us?" Nezu asked. "I cannot imagine you would come here without significant leverage."

Compress: Well he knows our quirks and strengths and some weaknesses.

"I can tell you the party members and their quirks." Shigaraki offered. "They did the little side quest at the mall to try and hide them, which I didn't know about either, for whatever that's worth."

Tsukauchi flipped to a new page in his notebook, "You've got a deal, what are we up against?"

Twice: Toga-

Shigaraki: Stop counting!

Twice: Oh come on!

"The most serious threats will be a frid chicken nugget called Dabi and a psychotic @#$(& named Toga." Shigaraki said. "Fire powers and a quirk that lets her look like anyone, but they're both smart and know what they're doing. In terms of immediate danger, though, you're looking at two esscaped convicts. Muscular and Moonfish. I trust you don't need more info on them."

Dabi(snorting): Well those are interesting descriptions.

Kurogiri: I feel like Tomura should have specified that Toga needs to drink blood and can't copy quirks.

Toga: Well apparently some versions of me can.

Todoroki watched as Tsuakuchi went pale, "No. I think we know their threat level just fine."

Shigaraki nodded, "Okay then, outside of those four, we've got a couple wild cards. Mustard can create a poison gas, Magne has magnet powers, and Mr. Compress can do what his name says: compress stuff into these puny little marbles. They're all dangerous. Sensei wouldn't have recruited them otherwise."

"Very well." Nezu said. "Aizawa, get ahold of Present Mic. I think we have a use for radio communications. I will call Mandalay and have her use telepathy to inform the students."

Mirko: With all this extra information and teachers to help the attack should go better than it did in our world right?

Vlad: Hopefully...

Muscular grinned and shook out his fist, "How did I do, boss?"

"This is about killing false heroes, not showing off." Spinner complained.

"Oh, come on now." Mr. Compress cut in. "Destroying the wall of UA with one punch is quite impressive."

Compress: What? It is.

"See?" Muscular flexed. "Someone appreciates my greatness. Now let's see some blood!"

"Blood." Moonfish's groans sounded almost inspired.

Toga: That's the most enthusiasm I've ever heard from him.

"Finally." Spinner growled. "We have work to do."

"Yay!" Toga jumped up and down. "I get to drink all the little heroes' blood! This is gonna be so much fun!"

Tsu: Well someone's back to normal, ribbit.

"Just make sure you get enough." Dabi said. "Mustard, cover our path so the local heroes can't give back up."

"Don't tell me what to do." Mustard growled, but even as he spoke, he was already letting off a large cloud of poisonous gas. "These fake heroes don't stand a chance."

"Before we fight, just remember that Trapper's been exposed." Dabi warned. "So if you see him, get him out. Oh, and Shiggy's a traitor, so kill him if you get the chance and assume these heroes know your quirks."

Shigaraki: Great, now you're trying to kill me.

"Heh, as if that'll help 'em." Muscular cracked his knuckles. "These heroes don't stand a chance."

Todoroki: This is not good.

Bakugo: Obviously!
