Monoma did a double take as soon as he saw the obvious pair of villains literally carving their way towards Nezu's office, "Well, now, that's interesting."
Shoda: That's not the word I would use to describe it!
Pony grabbed his arm, "Stop. Teachers will take care of them. We run."
Tsunotori: He's not going to listen is he?
Monoma scoffed and shook his arm loose, "You can run if you want, but I know you've noticed the gap between us and 1A. What's the difference? Not our test scores, that's for sure. They've fought real villains! I'm not going to let them keep leaving us in the dust!"
Pony hesitated for a moment before giving a determined nod, "We go."
Vlad: Tsunotori and Monoma!
Monoma grinned and cracked his neck, "Let's do this. Try to pin the guy in the yellow coat, he looks like he's got a useful quirk. I want it."
Shoji hissed and grabbed his arm. The hand wasn't a big loss, he could grow it back, what was an issue was that Dark Shadow hadn't taken kindly to one of its friends being hurt. As soon as Tokoyami had seen Moonfish hurt him, he'd completely lost control and Dark Shadow had started going berserk. It had gone after moonfish first, thankfully, and the villain was somewhere down the hall with who knew how many broken bones, but now Dark Shadow was stalking anything that moved, which was unfortunately mostly Shoji. Tokoyami was trying to get it to calm down, but wasn't having much success.
Dark Shadow(worried): Oh no.
Suddenly, there was a cheer from inside the maintenance room and Shoji felt a stab of fear as Dark Shadow zeroed in on the noise. It let out a massive roar and launched itself at the door. Shoji knew that the wall wouldn't stand a chance and that support student wouldn't be able to do a thing against it before she'd be torn to shreds. He took a step forward, not knowing what he could do, but at the same time knowing he had to do something.
Power Loader: Mei!
Mei: Don't worry, if I cheered that means I got the power back!
And then the lights turned on.
(everyone breathed a sigh of relief)
Dark Shadow whimpered in the suddenly harsh lighting and Tokoyami was almost sobbing with relief as Shoji went to go comfort him, "The agent of chaos must have restored the power. What a mad banquet of darkness, but... I... I think I'd prefer to stay in the light for now."
Tokoyami(relieved): Yeah... that sounds good...
Shoji nodded, "Yeah. That sounds like a good plan."
Kendo was lightheaded even now that the gas was finally clearing up. This poison gas smelled nasty and she would have known to avoid it even without Mandalays's warning, but knowing all the villain's quirk definitely gave them an advantage, as did knowing who the traitor really was. She thought she'd seen Mineta through the fog once or twice, but everytime she tried to chase him, he disappeared before she could find him.
Mineta: Someone just catch him already!
Ojiro: He killed Stain, Mineta, that's not going to be easy!
Spinner: Wait other me knows the truth now and Stain can probably tell him who killed him so...
Mineta(realizing): ...Trapper's so dead.
At least she and Tetsutetsu had knocked out that Mustard kid. Now, though, they had to find everyone who had passed out from the gas and get them to Recovery Girl. Hopefully nobody but Tetsutetsu had gotten hit with any bullets, but Kendo wasn't counting on that, so they needed to hurry.
Tetsutetsu: Do we do that in every world?
Jana: Usually.
She made her hands as big as she could and started running, "Come on, let's grab everyone we can and get back to the Pussycats."
Pony shot her horns forward and snagged Mr. Compress's coat, "Dabi, wait."
Dabi: Rescue yourself you idiot!
Dabi glared back and shot a stream of fire in the students general direction, "Get yourself out of it, you dumbass, or I'm leaving you behind."
Compress sounded like he was pouting underneath his mask, "Ah, but my coat will rip."
LOV: Seriously?!
Compress(defensively): I like my coat!
Dabi rolled his eyes, "Suit yourself, I've got a traitor to take care of."
Monoma waited until he was around the corner before dashing forward and ripping Compress's glove off, "And now, let's see what your quirk can really do."
"What are you talking about?" Compress sounded confused. "My quirk is..."
Toga: You're seriously just going to tell him?
Compress: Well Mandalay already told the students.
He disappeared and Monoma was left holding a marble, "Okay, this is going to be nice."
Compress: Good thing my quirk has a limit because otherwise I'd be stuck in there forever.
Ochaco sighed after Hitoshi finished filling her in, "Okay, so what now?"
"Well, the lights are back on." Hitoshi shrugged. "And I'm no longer being targeted by a serial killer, so... maybe go back to the teachers?"
Recovery Girl: Yes, please do that.
"Maybe..." Ochaco frowned. "But I feel like the biggest threats are still out there."
Aizawa: Uraraka!
"Like Shigaraki?" Hitoshi asked.
Shigaraki: No, I'm on your side now.
"No, he's apparently on our side now." Ochaco answered absently.
Hitoshi blinked, "Wait, what?"
Shigaraki(snorting): Yeah, you heard that right.
"Izuku was being almost polite to him when I dropped in earlier." Ochaco said. "I think he's the one who gave Mandalay the info on the villain's quirks."
"Oh." Hitoshi frowned. "I guess... I guess I was wrong about Todoroki being the traitor then."
Mineta(exasperatedly): You already know that.
"Detective Tsukauchi was there too." Ochaco said. "So I think he interrogated both of them. I don't know what's going on, but I'm just scared that Kurogiri is going to teleport in and mess everything up. If I just had an anchor on him, then...."
"Then you'd be able to keep up." Hitoshi nodded. "I can brainwash him long enough for you to touch him. I don't think the villains have figured out my quirk yet. Mineta thought it was based on confusion, so... we're still in the clear."
"I just hope he's still around." Ochaco said. "If he is... he's probably after Shigaraki for turning on them."
Kurogiri(thoughtfully): If they wait in Nezu's office they might be able to catch me when I come to retrieve Tomura.
Dabi: Are you giving them ideas right now?
Kurogiri: I'm just saying.
She grabbed Hitoshi and felt the world shift as they jumped. A second later, they were in Nezu's office and Hitoshi was talking deep breaths to calm the nausea, "I think I'm actually starting to get used to that."
Shinso: Well that's good.
"What do you guys need?" Izuku said. "Now that the power's back, I'm kinda busy figuring out how to best use the weapons systems."
"We were hoping to track Kurogiri." Hitoshi answered. "Figured here was a good place to start, since the villains are probably going to be after Dusty here."
"I'd be offended if you weren't right." Shigaraki whined.
Todoroki: You knew the consequences.
"Yeah," Todoroki drawled. "You knew what the consequences of switching parties would be."
Shiragaki groaned, the cat on his lap nuzzling up to his face to try and comfort him, "Don't remind me. I'm still worried about the big boss."
Koda: Oh I almost forgot about Epurr.
"The big boss?" Todoroki asked. "Your Sensei?"
Shigaraki nodded, "All for One."
Nezu nodded grimly, "Then I will call All Might and tell him to be prepared for an attack. It is a good thing that young Mei managed to get the power back on so we can bolster our defenses."
(everyone shuddered at the idea of All for One attacking UA)
"What did I do?" Mei popped her head out from a secret tunnel in the ceiling. "Oh, um, hi? What's one of the villains doing here?"
Shigaraki: I'm a traitor!
Awase: This is so chaotic.
"Switching sides." Izuku answered. "Now get down here and man Nezu's computer. The students have taken care of most of the villains but Mineta and Spinner are still on the loose."
Mei nodded and jumped down, "Any others we need to worry about?"
"Just this one." Izuku pressed the button that opened the door to Nezu's office, revealing one very surprised villain who had been about to blow down the door. "Welcome Dabi. We've been expecting you."
(everyone stared)
Nezu: Well, my office is getting rather crowded.
