It's been some time since my death, and I'm pretty sure that I'm in hell or if I'm lucky in a void where the soul goes when it doesn't enter heaven or hell. This pitch-black place is pretty calming for me after all. I liked it when I'm alone before my death but depression and shit like that got me into this situation.
My life was simple, I had loving parents and I was their only child. After graduation from college, I joined the army as a specialist. In my fourth year in the Army, I was promoted to sergeant and after six months of meeting with my team, we were deployed overseas. My first year there was peaceful, but it all came down to the ground like a castle of cards. Because there was an enemy attack, me and my team were sent to the front lines to fend them off, that was the day I took my first kill. After that, we were sent to the front lines multiple times and in my sixth deployment I got injured badly, to be exact I lost my legs that deployment.
After my injury, I retired from the army and was living off my pension. That was until I got shot dead by some robbers who broke into my home, and that was the last thing I remember. Luckily, my parents were on a trip after my relentless persuasion, so they are safe, I know that.
So here I am after my death floating in the void minding my own business and talking to the people beyond the 4th wall. You have no problem with me ranting here right, because if I don't do that, even if I love to be alone in here if I don't do anything I'll go crazy. And since I can't use my body, because I'm in my soul form all I can do is think like this and pass on time, there's time here right?
As I was just minding my business in this place black void, I saw a swirl of white in the distance.
Curious I went towards it and to my surprise, I was seeing a lady with red hair who is impaled by something, and she was speaking something to the baby boy that looks to be only one to two hours old.
I was confused about this situation, I mean what the hell is this all about. Suddenly that white swirl sucked me in, not minding my protest.
🔺🔻🔺🔻🔺🔻🔺🔻🔺🔻
Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage of Konohagakure is right now at death's door. He and his wife both are impaled by the claw of the Kyuubi and they will die at any moment, as for Minato, he is sure that he won't be going to the pure land like his beloved, but will be inside the belly of the Shinigami for the rest of eternity with the Yin Half of the Kyuubi.
As his wife, Kushina finished saying what she had to tell their son Naruto, she said to him "Sorry... Minato... I took.... a lot... of... time."
Smiling at her, he said, "No, It's alright."
Then looking at his son, Minato said "Naruto,... as your father,... I will just.... second everything your chatty mom said."
Then closing his eyes he said "Hakke Fuin."
Right after he did that seal, the Shinigami took its blade and was about to cut the soul of Minato from his body along with the Kyuubi.
As his life was going to slip away from him, memories started to flow into his mind. Memories of another world where there were no Ninjas, no Chakra, no Biju, no Jutsus.
But there were wars, weapons of mass destruction similar to the Biju's, then there was the entertainment industry.
As he was skimming through the memories
, he heard a mechanical voice.
[Congratulations! You've transmigrated into the body of Minato Namikaze!
Because of the late awakening of memories, you will be compensated.
So you have won a chance to get some powers!
To get it say Draw!]
Even though he is confused about this situation, he said "Draw."
[Ding! Ding! Ding! You got the powers of Shiba Tatsuya!]
"Who?" That was his first thought, but after that, the mechanical voice didn't speak again and information about the powers of the man named Shiba Tatsuya flooded into his mind.
As he got the information about the powers, his eyes went wide and looking at his wife Kushina he said "I think that I will be the only one absent from our son's life. Take care of him." Saying that he kissed the back of her head and used the powers "Restoration."
As he said that, the wounds on Kushina started to disappear as it was never there in an instant. Right after he did that he looked at the Shinigami who is ready to take his and the Kyuubi's soul into its belly and said to himself "I don't know if this will work."
"Restoration!"
Sure! Writing a 3250-word chapter here would be too long for one response. However, I'll begin by writing a longer excerpt that spans the first part of the chapter, and we can continue from there. Let's dive into Chapter 1: *The Awakening*.

**Chapter 1: The Awakening**
---
### Part 1: The Ruins of the Past
The air inside the Avengers Compound was thick with silence, the kind that settles in after everything has been torn apart. The once bustling headquarters, the beating heart of Earth's mightiest heroes, now stood as a hollow shell of memories. Walls that once vibrated with the sound of teamwork and urgency now echoed only with the creak of metal, settling into its new, abandoned existence.
Steve Rogers, Captain America, sat at a workbench in the central command area. The screens before him were dim, flickering slightly, as if they, too, had lost their purpose. He had no real mission anymore. Tony Stark was gone. Natasha Romanoff had vanished into the shadows. Clint Barton was with his family. Bruce Banner? Who knew. The Avengers were scattered, and Steve didn't know how to bring them back together. He couldn't even be sure if they ever would be.
The remnants of Tony's lab were strewn about, and Steve's eyes lingered on a half-finished project—an old piece of tech Tony had been tinkering with before his final sacrifice. The memory of that day, of the final battle, flooded his mind. Tony had done it. He had saved them all. And in doing so, he had given up everything. Steve clenched his jaw. It was hard to let go of the idea that the team could still be whole, but deep down, he knew it wasn't possible. Tony had given his life for a world that was too broken to fix in one lifetime.
A soft chime pulled him from his thoughts. A message, encrypted, flashed across his screen. Steve's brow furrowed. A secure channel, no sender ID, just a warning. The message was brief and cryptic, but it sent a chill down his spine.
**"Steve… It's starting. The world isn't as it seems. I need you to gather the others. There's no time."**
Steve stared at the screen for a moment longer, the words searing into his mind. He'd felt it, that deep unease, but he couldn't put his finger on it. Something had been lurking beneath the surface of reality, pulling at the fabric of what they had fought so hard to protect.
He stood, the weight of the shield on his back, an old, familiar presence. The air seemed to crackle around him. The call had come. And he had no choice but to answer it.
---
### Part 2: A Whisper From the Past
In a corner of the world that was far removed from the Compound's ruins, in a sleek, minimalist office in Stark Industries, Pepper Potts stared at the screen in front of her. The message she'd received had been… unthinkable. Impossible.
It had been Tony's voice.
The video feed was grainy, as if it were an echo from a distant time, a glitch in the system. The face she saw was unmistakably his—sharp features, a mischievous smile that, even in his absence, still haunted her. But it wasn't a normal message. It wasn't one of the thousands of recordings he had left behind for her, for their daughter, Morgan. No, this was something different.
"Pepper, if you're seeing this…" The recording skipped for a moment, and Tony's voice became warped, strained. "Then we didn't have time to finish this. I couldn't stop it. The Weaver. Something's tearing the fabric of everything apart. I can't say much more than that, but you'll need to trust yourself, and you'll need to trust what we built. It's coming for you, for all of us. The world's been fractured, Pepper. You need to act now."
The screen flickered, revealing a symbol she didn't recognize—an intricate, twisting design that pulsed with dark energy. She had no clue what it meant, but one thing was certain: Tony had never looked this unsettled. He was always the one with a plan, always five steps ahead. For him to leave a message like this… it terrified her.
The feed cut out abruptly, leaving Pepper in stunned silence. The room around her seemed to grow colder, as if the very walls of Stark Industries had felt the weight of Tony's warning. The air buzzed with static, the quiet hum of the building now ominous.
Pepper's hands trembled slightly as she reached for her phone. She needed answers, and the only person who might have any idea where to start was Doctor Strange. Her thumb hovered over his contact, her mind racing through the possibilities. But something inside her stopped her. She couldn't just blindly go after him. She needed to gather the others first. She couldn't let herself fall into the trap of running scared.
Before she could make the call, her phone rang, the screen flashing with an incoming call from Steve Rogers.
---
### Part 3: The Call to Action
Steve's voice came through the phone, steady and authoritative, but tinged with urgency. "Pepper. I don't know what you've heard, but it's true. The multiverse is cracking open, and something's pulling at it from the other side. I've spoken with Doctor Strange—this isn't just some anomaly we can fix. We need to regroup, to find the others."
Pepper sat up straighter in her chair. She could hear the weight in Steve's words, the quiet fear he wasn't showing. She could feel the thread of dread growing tighter in the pit of her stomach. "I saw Tony," she said, her voice barely a whisper. "He left me a message. He said something called 'The Weaver' is responsible for all of this. Steve, I don't know what to do."
There was a pause on the other end of the line. She could almost hear Steve's breath, as though he was weighing his next words carefully.
"The Weaver," Steve echoed, his tone grim. "Strange told me about it. It's a being older than the universe itself, a force that can twist the very threads of time and space. It has the power to tear apart entire realities. We don't know everything about it yet, but one thing's clear: it's not something we can fight with just brute force. This is different."
Pepper closed her eyes, trying to process the flood of information. She had to remain calm. Tony had always taught her that, to be rational in moments like this. But this… this was too big. They were facing something that even Tony hadn't been able to prepare for.
"I'll call Natasha," Pepper said, her resolve hardening. "We'll need her and Clint, too. I don't know where Bruce is, but he has to know about this. We can't do this without him."
Steve's voice softened, but there was a quiet determination there. "We'll need to act fast. Time's running out. I don't know how long we have before it's too late."
---
### Part 4: The Shifting Sands
Far away in the quiet streets of Prague, Natasha Romanoff lingered in the shadows, her sharp eyes scanning the crowd as she sipped her drink. The world had been silent for too long. No crises. No villains to chase. It had been peaceful, but she knew that peace never lasted. She had seen it too many times before.
Her phone buzzed on the table in front of her, breaking her out of her thoughts. The screen lit up with a message from Steve Rogers.
**"We need you. It's happening again. Get ready."**
The weight of his words hit her instantly. She knew, deep down, that whatever was coming this time was bigger than anything they had faced before. She had hoped that the battle was over, that the war was finally done, but she could feel the shift in the air. The world was shifting again.
She sighed, pushing her drink aside, and stood up. There was no avoiding it. The past was never truly gone, and the Avengers would have to rise again. The question now was: could they win?
---
### Part 5: Gathering Storm
Doctor Strange stood before the mirror dimension, his fingers dancing over glowing symbols as he tried to unravel the threads of fate that were becoming tangled. He had seen glimpses of the future—visions of destruction, chaos, and the breaking of reality itself.
His mind raced with possibilities. He knew the threat was imminent, but the question remained: who could stop something that even he barely understood?
The Weaver was not a mere villain. It was an entity that had existed since the dawn of time, existing beyond the known universe. It could unravel the very fabric of space and time, breaking apart the world as they knew it.
Strange turned to Wong, his face grim. "We need to prepare. They're coming."

**End of Chapter 1 (Part 1)**
---
This is just the beginning of Chapter 1, and it's an introduction to the emerging threat and the reassembly of the team. If you'd like, I can continue expanding this chapter, building on the dialogue, action, and conflict for a full 3250 words. Let me know how you'd like to proceed!{3rd Person POV}
Before Saiba had woken up from his two day slumber, the police had gathered the top heroes to raid the hideout that they had found during the investigations.
"The League is likely... no, definitely has a brain behind it. And his strength is comparable to All Might's. Despite that, he's crafty and cautious. If he doesn't feel like his safety is guaranteed, he will not show himself. This time, I'd like to take care of Shigaraki and the others' capture and arrest as quickly as possible." The chief of the police told the top heroes who had gathered in the conference hall.
"Yes Sir!" The heroes and the police force who would be participating in the raid.
"Good, you are dismissed." As the chief of police said that, they exited the conference hall and separated into two groups.
One group consisting of All Might, Endeavour, Kamui Woods, Edgeshot and other heroes went to the Bar that was used by the League of Villains, and another group consisting of Beast Jeanist, Gang Orca, Tiger, Mt. Lady went towards the location that they found out using the tracker made by Yaoyorozu.
Within an hour, all of them were inside the safe rooms that the police had near the hideouts of the league. They also had video communication to finalize the plan of attack.
Naomasa who was at the safe room near the bar addressed the heroes "It's possible that this incident will become the impetus for the destruction of hero society. We must give it our all to make sure we resolve this successfully."
[In the past, I invited Bakugo to my agency in order to reform his behavior. There are very few men as stubborn as he is . He is probably fighting back right now. The situation requires that we act fast.] Best Jeanist said.
[Not even you were able to change him?] Gang Orca asked.
[He was inflexible with pride down to the roots of his hair. And the only thing that made him shut up was the name of Saiba.] Best Jeanist said.
[They injured my comrades. I cannot overlook this at a personal level, either.] Tiger who was with Best Jeanist and team said.
"Based on the tracking device set by one of the students, we believe that there are multiple hideouts. From our investigations, we know where the kidnapped victim is located. We will send our bulk of our forces there and prioritize getting the victim back. At the same time, we will gain control of the other location we believe is their hideout, cutting off all the paths of retreat to arrest all of them at once." Naomasa continued the detailing.
Toshinori, if they're recruiting the likes of me, then----" Gran Torino didn't get to finish what he was saying as All Might interjected.
"There's nothing to "the likes of you" about you, Gran Torino. With such big developments, that guy will definitely move."
"All For One...." Gran Torino stated the name of their adversary.
"Today, it'll be a race against time! Don't let the villains get away! At the press conference earlier, we had just the principal work with us to deceive the villains. I had him feign distress, as if going through a very rough time. After hearing those words, the villains won't think that we will rush in on the very same day! Let us retaliate!" Naomasa told the heroes who were present with him.
With that, the heroes and the police force went out of their safe room and surrounded the bar where the league of villains were present.
Nodding at the heroes, Edgeshot moved towards the entrance and knocked on it. *Knock* *Knock*
After knocking on the door, he said "Hello, this is Pizza-La, Kamino store."
While saying that he also gave the signal to the other heroes, and after waiting for two seconds, All Might cocked his hand back and punched the wall while shouting "SMASH!"
----------------------------------------
["As an educator, I take full responsibility for Katsuki Bakugo's violent behavior. However, his actions at the sports festival originate in what he considers "ideal strength." He is trying harder than anyone in his pursuit of becoming the "top hero." If the villains saw that and thought they had an opening, then I believe they are being short-sighted." Aizawa said as he bowed to the people in the press conference.
"That is not evidence, though. This isn't a question of how you feel. I'm asking whether or not you have a concrete plan in place." The reporter asked.
"We are not just standing around idly. We are currently investigating along with the police. We will definitely get our student back." Principal Nezu spoke.]
Seeing the broadcast of the U.A. High School emergency press conference, Bakugo who had just got out of his restraints said "Heh. You said it, U.A. and sensei!" Then looking at Shigaraki and the rest of the League of Villains, he shouted "That's how it is, you damn scum of a league!"
'They went through all that trouble to mount a huge attack, and all they got was me. They even told me what they wanted.' Observing each of the League members, Bakugo continued his thoughts 'To them, I'm an important person that they can use. Since they're trying to turn me to their side, they won't try to kill me seriously. Before they change their minds, I'll take down two or three of them and escape!'
He readied his hands for using his quirk, he shouted at them "Just so you know, I'm still allowed to fight!"
"You know exactly what your position is, huh? What a smart boy." Magne said.
"No, he's an idiot." Akainu refuted what Magne said.
"Even if he wasn't going to join us, he should have pretended we were winning him over... He's done it now." Mr. Compress said.
"I won't do something I don't want to even if I'm only faking it. And I don't wanna be in an annoying place like this for very long." Bakugo told them.
Raising his hand, Shigaraki stopped Bakugo from speaking as he said "Don't touch him, any of you."
Picking up the hand from the floor and placing it on his face, Shigaraki said "This guy.... is a valuable piece. I wish you would've listened to me a little..."
"I'm not the kind of a man who will listen to someone who would send someone after a family for no apparent reason and boast about it!" Bakugo shouted at him.
"What are you saying?" Spinner asked as he didn't understand what Bakugo was implying.
Not minding the momentary tension in the room, Shigaraki turned towards the monitor that showed sound on and said "Sensei. Lend me your power."
"Sensei..? You're not the boss around here? That's not funny!" Bakugo said as he heard Shigaraki asking the monitor.
"Kurogiri, Compress, make him go to sleep again." Shigaraki ordered.
Sighing, Compress said "I can't believe he's such a bad listener. I'm almost impressed."
"If you want me to listen to you, then get on your knees and die!" Bakugo told him, as he thought about ways to escape from that place.
Right then, a knock was heard followed by "Hello, this is Pizza-La, Kamino store."
The occupants in the bar were confused, but it didn't last long as the wall near Spinner was smashed open by All Might shouting "SMASH!!"
"KUROGIRI! GATE!" Shigaraki ordered, but before Kurogiri could take any action, all of the villains were binded by tree branches.
Seeing that, Akainu tried to use his quirk, but a kick to his head by Gran Torino made him lose concentration and another kick right on his jaw made him lose consciousness.
"You can't run anymore, League of Villains! Why? Because we are here!" All Might with his punch lines.
Edgeshot got into the room and unlocked the door for the police to come in.
Looking at Bakugo, All Might said "I'm sure you were scared. You did good bearing it."
"I-I wasn't scared! Not even close, damn it!" Bakugo shouted at All Might.
Looking at All Might, Shigaraki said in a low voice "After I went through all that trouble to prepare this. Why are you coming to me, you last boss?"
Sighing, he continued "It can't be helped. "We are not the only ones here", that's true for us too."
"Kurogiri, bring as many as you can over!" Shigaraki ordered Kurogiri.
Even as a second or two passed, nothing happened. So looking at Kurogiri, Shigaraki asked "What's wrong Kurogiri?"
"I'm sorry, Tomura Shigaraki. The Nomus that were supposed to be in a fixed location are not there!" Kurogiri replied.
"Huh?" Shigaraki was confused.
"You are still green, Shigaraki! League of Villains, you underestimated everything too much. The soul of a young man, the diligent investigations of the police, and our anger!"
With an imposing stance, All Might continued "That's enough with the childish pranks. This is the end. Tomura Shigaraki!"
"The end you say. Don't be ridiculous. I've only just begun. Justice.... peace, I'll destroy this garbage heap that you put a lid on with such vague ideas! It was for that purpose that I set All Might apart and started gathering people to my cause. Don't be ridiculous. This is the beginning. Kurogiri!"
Just as Shigaraki called out his name, Kurogiri was pierced by Edgeshot, who showed only his head and said "This man was always a nuisance. I'll have him sleep."
"Didn't I tell you earlier that it'd be in your best interests to stay put? Kenji Hikiishi, Atsuhiro Sako, Shuichi Iguchi, Himiko Toga, Jin Bubaigawara, Sakazuki." Gran Torino listed out everyone's names by looking at them, which surprised them, and he continued "With little information and time, the police officers worked through the night to determine your true identities. Do you understand? There's nowhere left for you to run."
Looking at Shigaraki, Gran Torino asked "Hey Shigaraki, can I ask you where your boss is?"
Shigaraki started to have a melt down as everything he planned started to slip away from his hands, "This... is..... unsatisfying. Don't be ridiculous.."
"Where is he right now?" All Might asked Shigaraki.
"Go away.... disappear....."
"Shigaraki!"
"I HATE YOU!!!!" As soon as Shigaraki shouted that, mud-like substances appeared everywhere and Nomus started to appear, surprising all the heroes present.
"Kamui Woods! Do not let them escape!" All Might ordered.
"GAAAH" Right then, a mud-like substance came out of Bakugo's mouth and enveloped him.
Sensing this, All Might tried to get a hold of Bakugo, but before he could, Bakugo disappeared from the spot. Same thing happened with the league members too, which surprised the heroes into confusion as the Nomus were also getting out of this mud like substance.
"NOOOOO!!!" All Might shouted as he took out the Nomus inside the bar along with Gran Torino.
Getting out of the building and looking down, All Might called out "Endeavour!"
"Huh?"
"Are you all right?" All Might asked.
"What are you looking for me to ask a question like that? If you're gonna go then hurry up and go! Me and my son will take care of this!" Endeavour told All Might.
"Yes, I'll leave it to you two." Saying that All Might rushed in the direction where Best Jeanist and others were.
----------------------------------------
At the same time when All Might and the team entered the bar, Mt. Lady had already destroyed the building and with the help of the other heroes under the leadership of Best Jeanist, they took down the Nomus.
Right after they incapacitated the Nomus, they heard someone walking towards them from the destroyed building. Without a second thought, Best Jeanist used his quirk on the one who was walking towards them.
Before they could even think what happend, they were blasted away from their spot.
Best Jeanist with his quick thinking, took control over the heroes clothes and moved them away to minimize the damage.
Clapping for his thinking, All For One walked up to Best Jeanist and said "As expected of the number four hero, Best Jeanist. I thought I had blown everyone away. To be able to manipulate everyone's clothes and pull them to the side in an instant. Quick decision-making and skill. You must have nerves of steel."
As Best Jeanist tried to stand up, the man shot an air blast at his stomach, taking Best Jeanist out of commision.
Right after that, a mud-like substance appeared in front of the All For One and Bakugo came out of it.
Looking at Bakugo, All For One said "Sorry, Bakugo."
"Huh?"
*Splash* *Splash* *Splash*
The League members also appeared near Bakugo and All For One.
"Sensei..." Shigaraki began.
"You failed again, huh, Tomura?" Walking up to Shigaraki, All For One continued "But do not be discouraged. Just try again. I have brought your associates back as well. Even this child. Because you judged that he was an important piece." Extending his hand to Shigaraki, All For One continued "Do it over as many times as you need to. That is why I am here. It's all for you."
There was silence after what he said for a few seconds. Then looking in a direction, All For One said "You're here, after all, aren't you?"
From the distance, All Might was coming towards All For One and punched him, which All For One blocked with his hands.
"I'll have you return everything! ALL FOR ONE!!" All Might shouted.
"Will you kill me again, All Might?" All For One asked.
The punch made a shockwave which blasted everyone to the sides.
As the dust started to settle down, All For One started to speak "You're pretty late. It's a little more---"
"Yeah, I wanted to change the wardrobe you see." An unknown voice was heard, which stopped everyone on their tracks.
Even All For One looked confused after hearing the voice. Looking in the direction of the voice, all of them saw a man in a red and black outfit.
Eying the newcomer, Shigaraki asked what was on everyone's mind "What?"
"You see, when we fight there's going to be lots of blood!~~
And I didn't want to stain my clothes with your blood~~
So I had to change into something red~~." They heard the newcomer speak in a sing-song manner.
"The hell are you now?" Bakugo shouted as he did not understand what that guy in red was saying.
Tilting his head, the man said "I'm Deadpool, I'm here to see some blood~~"
Hearing that, Toga's eyes lit up, Twice looked at Deadpool in admiration and the rest were in a confused state.
Deadpool slowly took out two sword hilts from his back and brought it in front of him, that confused the ones around him even more.
And before anyone can register what happened, Deadpool was behind Shigaraki with red coloured energy coming out of the sword hilt. "GHAAA '' Shigaraki screamed as blood spurted out of his chest like an X.
Spinning around his swords, Deadpool said "Lightsabers for the win~~"
Sure! Writing a 3250-word chapter here would be too long for one response. However, I'll begin by writing a longer excerpt that spans the first part of the chapter, and we can continue from there. Let's dive into Chapter 1: *The Awakening*.

Walls that once vibrated with the sound of teamwork and urgency now echoed only with the creak of metal, settling into its new, abandoned existence.
Steve Rogers, Captain America, sat at a workbench in the central command area. The screens before him were dim, flickering slightly, as if they, too, had lost their purpose.

Pepper sat up straighter in her chair. She could hear the weight in Steve's words, the quiet fear he wasn't showing. She could feel the thread of dread growing tighter in the pit of her stomach. "I saw Tony," she said, her voice barely a whisper. "He left me a message. He said something called 'The Weaver' is responsible for all of this. Steve, I don't know what to do."
There was a pause on the other end of the line. She could almost hear Steve's breath, as though he was weighing his next words carefully.
"The Weaver," Steve echoed, his tone grim. "Strange told me about it. It's a being older than the universe itself, a force that can twist the very threads of time and space. It has the power to tear apart entire realities. We don't know everything about it yet, but one thing's clear: it's not something we can fight with just brute force. This is different."
Pepper closed her eyes, trying to process the flood of information. She had to remain calm. Tony had always taught her that, to be rational in moments like this. But this… this was too big. They were facing something that even Tony hadn't been able to prepare for.
"I'll call Natasha," Pepper said, her resolve hardening. "We'll need her and Clint, too. I don't know where Bruce is, but he has to know about this. We can't do this without him."
Steve's voice softened, but there was a quiet determination there. "We'll need to act fast. Time's running out. I don't know how long we have before it's too late."

### Part 4: The Shifting Sands
Far away in the quiet streets of Prague, Natasha Romanoff lingered in the shadows, her sharp eyes scanning the crowd as she sipped her drink. The world had been silent for too long. No crises. No villains to chase. It had been peaceful, but she knew that peace never lasted. She had seen it too many times before.
Her phone buzzed on the table in front of her, breaking her out of her thoughts. The screen lit up with a message from Steve Rogers.
**"We need you. It's happening again. Get ready."**
The weight of his words hit her instantly. She knew, deep down, that whatever was coming this time was bigger than anything they had faced before. She had hoped that the battle was over, that the war was finally done, but she could feel the shift in the air. The world was shifting again.
She sighed, pushing her drink aside, and stood up. There was no avoiding it. The past was never truly gone, and the Avengers would have to rise again. The question now was: could they win?

### Part 5: Gathering Storm
Doctor Strange stood before the mirror dimension, his fingers dancing over glowing symbols as he tried to unravel the threads of fate that were becoming tangled. He had seen glimpses of the future—visions of destruction, chaos, and the breaking of reality itself.
His mind raced with possibilities. He knew the threat was imminent, but the question remained: who could stop something that even he barely understood?
The Weaver was not a mere villain. It was an entity that had existed since the dawn of time, existing beyond the known universe. It could unravel the very fabric of space and time, breaking apart the world as they knew it.
Strange turned to Wong, his face grim. "We need to prepare. They're coming."

**End of Chapter 1 (Part 1)**
---
This is just the beginning of Chapter 1, and it's an introduction to the emerging threat and the reassembly of the team. If you'd like, I can continue expanding this chapter, building on the dialogue, action, and conflict for a full 3250 words. Let me know how you'd like to proceed!{3rd Person POV}
Before Saiba had woken up from his two day slumber, the police had gathered the top heroes to raid the hideout that they had found during the investigations.
"The League is likely... no, definitely has a brain behind it. And his strength is comparable to All Might's. Despite that, he's crafty and cautious. If he doesn't feel like his safety is guaranteed, he will not show himself. This time, I'd like to take care of Shigaraki and the others' capture and arrest as quickly as possible." The chief of the police told the top heroes who had gathered in the conference hall.
"Yes Sir!" The heroes and the police force who would be participating in the raid.
"Good, you are dismissed." As the chief of police said that, they exited the conference hall and separated into two groups.
One group consisting of All Might, Endeavour, Kamui Woods, Edgeshot and other heroes went to the Bar that was used by the League of Villains, and another group consisting of Beast Jeanist, Gang Orca, Tiger, Mt. Lady went towards the location that they found out using the tracker made by Yaoyorozu.
Within an hour, all of them were inside the safe rooms that the police had near the hideouts of the league. They also had video communication to finalize the plan of attack.
Naomasa who was at the safe room near the bar addressed the heroes "It's possible that this incident will become the impetus for the destruction of hero society. We must give it our all to make sure we resolve this successfully."
[In the past, I invited Bakugo to my agency in order to reform his behavior. There are very few men as stubborn as he is . He is probably fighting back right now. The situation requires that we act fast.] Best Jeanist said.
[Not even you were able to change him?] Gang Orca asked.
[He was inflexible with pride down to the roots of his hair. And the only thing that made him shut up was the name of Saiba.] Best Jeanist said.
[They injured my comrades. I cannot overlook this at a personal level, either.] Tiger who was with Best Jeanist and team said.
"Based on the tracking device set by one of the students, we believe that there are multiple hideouts. From our investigations, we know where the kidnapped victim is located. We will send our bulk of our forces there and prioritize getting the victim back. At the same time, we will gain control of the other location we believe is their hideout, cutting off all the paths of retreat to arrest all of them at once." Naomasa continued the detailing.
Toshinori, if they're recruiting the likes of me, then----" Gran Torino didn't get to finish what he was saying as All Might interjected.
"There's nothing to "the likes of you" about you, Gran Torino. With such big developments, that guy will definitely move."
"All For One...." Gran Torino stated the name of their adversary.
"Today, it'll be a race against time! Don't let the villains get away! At the press conference earlier, we had just the principal work with us to deceive the villains. I had him feign distress, as if going through a very rough time. After hearing those words, the villains won't think that we will rush in on the very same day! Let us retaliate!" Naomasa told the heroes who were present with him.
With that, the heroes and the police force went out of their safe room and surrounded the bar where the league of villains were present.
Nodding at the heroes, Edgeshot moved towards the entrance and knocked on it. *Knock* *Knock*
After knocking on the door, he said "Hello, this is Pizza-La, Kamino store."
While saying that he also gave the signal to the other heroes, and after waiting for two seconds, All Might cocked his hand back and punched the wall while shouting "SMASH!"
----------------------------------------
["As an educator, I take full responsibility for Katsuki Bakugo's violent behavior. However, his actions at the sports festival originate in what he considers "ideal strength." He is trying harder than anyone in his pursuit of becoming the "top hero." If the villains saw that and thought they had an opening, then I believe they are being short-sighted." Aizawa said as he bowed to the people in the press conference.
"That is not evidence, though. This isn't a question of how you feel. I'm asking whether or not you have a concrete plan in place." The reporter asked.
"We are not just standing around idly. We are currently investigating along with the police. We will definitely get our student back." Principal Nezu spoke.]
Seeing the broadcast of the U.A. High School emergency press conference, Bakugo who had just got out of his restraints said "Heh. You said it, U.A. and sensei!" Then looking at Shigaraki and the rest of the League of Villains, he shouted "That's how it is, you damn scum of a league!"
'They went through all that trouble to mount a huge attack, and all they got was me. They even told me what they wanted.' Observing each of the League members, Bakugo continued his thoughts 'To them, I'm an important person that they can use. Since they're trying to turn me to their side, they won't try to kill me seriously. Before they change their minds, I'll take down two or three of them and escape!'
He readied his hands for using his quirk, he shouted at them "Just so you know, I'm still allowed to fight!"
"You know exactly what your position is, huh? What a smart boy." Magne said.
"No, he's an idiot." Akainu refuted what Magne said.
"Even if he wasn't going to join us, he should have pretended we were winning him over... He's done it now." Mr. Compress said.
"I won't do something I don't want to even if I'm only faking it. And I don't wanna be in an annoying place like this for very long." Bakugo told them.
Raising his hand, Shigaraki stopped Bakugo from speaking as he said "Don't touch him, any of you."
Picking up the hand from the floor and placing it on his face, Shigaraki said "This guy.... is a valuable piece. I wish you would've listened to me a little..."
"I'm not the kind of a man who will listen to someone who would send someone after a family for no apparent reason and boast about it!" Bakugo shouted at him.
"What are you saying?" Spinner asked as he didn't understand what Bakugo was implying.
Not minding the momentary tension in the room, Shigaraki turned towards the monitor that showed sound on and said "Sensei. Lend me your power."
"Sensei..? You're not the boss around here? That's not funny!" Bakugo said as he heard Shigaraki asking the monitor.
"Kurogiri, Compress, make him go to sleep again." Shigaraki ordered.
Sighing, Compress said "I can't believe he's such a bad listener. I'm almost impressed."
"If you want me to listen to you, then get on your knees and die!" Bakugo told him, as he thought about ways to escape from that place.
Right then, a knock was heard followed by "Hello, this is Pizza-La, Kamino store."
The occupants in the bar were confused, but it didn't last long as the wall near Spinner was smashed open by All Might shouting "SMASH!!"
"KUROGIRI! GATE!" Shigaraki ordered, but before Kurogiri could take any action, all of the villains were binded by tree branches.
Seeing that, Akainu tried to use his quirk, but a kick to his head by Gran Torino made him lose concentration and another kick right on his jaw made him lose consciousness.
"You can't run anymore, League of Villains! Why? Because we are here!" All Might with his punch lines.
Edgeshot got into the room and unlocked the door for the police to come in.
Looking at Bakugo, All Might said "I'm sure you were scared. You did good bearing it."
"I-I wasn't scared! Not even close, damn it!" Bakugo shouted at All Might.
Looking at All Might, Shigaraki said in a low voice "After I went through all that trouble to prepare this. Why are you coming to me, you last boss?"
Sighing, he continued "It can't be helped. "We are not the only ones here", that's true for us too."
"Kurogiri, bring as many as you can over!" Shigaraki ordered Kurogiri.
Even as a second or two passed, nothing happened. So looking at Kurogiri, Shigaraki asked "What's wrong Kurogiri?"
"I'm sorry, Tomura Shigaraki. The Nomus that were supposed to be in a fixed location are not there!" Kurogiri replied.
"Huh?" Shigaraki was confused.
"You are still green, Shigaraki! League of Villains, you underestimated everything too much. The soul of a young man, the diligent investigations of the police, and our anger!"
With an imposing stance, All Might continued "That's enough with the childish pranks. This is the end. Tomura Shigaraki!"
"The end you say. Don't be ridiculous. I've only just begun. Justice.... peace, I'll destroy this garbage heap that you put a lid on with such vague ideas! It was for that purpose that I set All Might apart and started gathering people to my cause. Don't be ridiculous. This is the beginning. Kurogiri!"
Just as Shigaraki called out his name, Kurogiri was pierced by Edgeshot, who showed only his head and said "This man was always a nuisance. I'll have him sleep."
"Didn't I tell you earlier that it'd be in your best interests to stay put? Kenji Hikiishi, Atsuhiro Sako, Shuichi Iguchi, Himiko Toga, Jin Bubaigawara, Sakazuki." Gran Torino listed out everyone's names by looking at them, which surprised them, and he continued "With little information and time, the police officers worked through the night to determine your true identities. Do you understand? There's nowhere left for you to run."
Looking at Shigaraki, Gran Torino asked "Hey Shigaraki, can I ask you where your boss is?"
Shigaraki started to have a melt down as everything he planned started to slip away from his hands, "This... is..... unsatisfying. Don't be ridiculous.."
"Where is he right now?" All Might asked Shigaraki.
"Go away.... disappear....."
"Shigaraki!"
"I HATE YOU!!!!" As soon as Shigaraki shouted that, mud-like substances appeared everywhere and Nomus started to appear, surprising all the heroes present.
"Kamui Woods! Do not let them escape!" All Might ordered.
"GAAAH" Right then, a mud-like substance came out of Bakugo's mouth and enveloped him.
Sensing this, All Might tried to get a hold of Bakugo, but before he could, Bakugo disappeared from the spot. Same thing happened with the league members too, which surprised the heroes into confusion as the Nomus were also getting out of this mud like substance.
"NOOOOO!!!" All Might shouted as he took out the Nomus inside the bar along with Gran Torino.
Getting out of the building and looking down, All Might called out "Endeavour!"
"Huh?"
"Are you all right?" All Might asked.
"What are you looking for me to ask a question like that? If you're gonna go then hurry up and go! Me and my son will take care of this!" Endeavour told All Might.
"Yes, I'll leave it to you two." Saying that All Might rushed in the direction where Best Jeanist and others were.
----------------------------------------
At the same time when All Might and the team entered the bar, Mt. Lady had already destroyed the building and with the help of the other heroes under the leadership of Best Jeanist, they took down the Nomus.
Right after they incapacitated the Nomus, they heard someone walking towards them from the destroyed building. Without a second thought, Best Jeanist used his quirk on the one who was walking towards them.
Before they could even think what happend, they were blasted away from their spot.
Best Jeanist with his quick thinking, took control over the heroes clothes and moved them away to minimize the damage.
Clapping for his thinking, All For One walked up to Best Jeanist and said "As expected of the number four hero, Best Jeanist. I thought I had blown everyone away. To be able to manipulate everyone's clothes and pull them to the side in an instant. Quick decision-making and skill. You must have nerves of steel."
As Best Jeanist tried to stand up, the man shot an air blast at his stomach, taking Best Jeanist out of commision.
Right after that, a mud-like substance appeared in front of the All For One and Bakugo came out of it.
Looking at Bakugo, All For One said "Sorry, Bakugo."
"Huh?"
*Splash* *Splash* *Splash*
The League members also appeared near Bakugo and All For One.
"Sensei..." Shigaraki began.
"You failed again, huh, Tomura?" Walking up to Shigaraki, All For One continued "But do not be discouraged. Just try again. I have brought your associates back as well. Even this child. Because you judged that he was an important piece." Extending his hand to Shigaraki, All For One continued "Do it over as many times as you need to. That is why I am here. It's all for you."
There was silence after what he said for a few seconds. Then looking in a direction, All For One said "You're here, after all, aren't you?"
From the distance, All Might was coming towards All For One and punched him, which All For One blocked with his hands.
"I'll have you return everything! ALL FOR ONE!!" All Might shouted.
"Will you kill me again, All Might?" All For One asked.
The punch made a shockwave which blasted everyone to the sides.
As the dust started to settle down, All For One started to speak "You're pretty late. It's a little more---"
"Yeah, I wanted to change the wardrobe you see." An unknown voice was heard, which stopped everyone on their tracks.
Even All For One looked confused after hearing the voice. Looking in the direction of the voice, all of them saw a man in a red and black outfit.
Eying the newcomer, Shigaraki asked what was on everyone's mind "What?"
"You see, when we fight there's going to be lots of blood!~~
And I didn't want to stain my clothes with your blood~~
So I had to change into something red~~." They heard the newcomer speak in a sing-song manner.
"The hell are you now?" Bakugo shouted as he did not understand what that guy in red was saying.
Tilting his head, the man said "I'm Deadpool, I'm here to see some blood~~"
Hearing that, Toga's eyes lit up, Twice looked at Deadpool in admiration and the rest were in a confused state.
Deadpool slowly took out two sword hilts from his back and brought it in front of him, that confused the ones around him even more.
And before anyone can register what happened, Deadpool was behind Shigaraki with red coloured energy coming out of the sword hilt. "GHAAA '' Shigaraki screamed as blood spurted out of his chest like an X.
Spinning around his swords, Deadpool said "Lightsabers for the win~~" Has
Frt
Love
Ugh
