Chapter 24 - Taking Action

"These villains have been acting very weird lately..." Todo muttered, as he got up from the bench, looking up at the night sky.

"From what I've gathered from my sources, hundreds of villains are being recruited under one mysterious organization. I have no idea what they're planning or targeting with all that manpower, but it sure ain't charity work."

Todo turned to Sukuna, a smirk on his face.

"Watch out for yourself, alright brother?"

...

'So, their target was this place huh?' Sukuna blinked as the flash back to his conversation with Todo ended. 'Or rather... their target is supposed to be All Might, what's the point of capturing a bunch of high school kids? But how would they know that All Might's going to be here today at this exact time?' Sukuna shook his head, focusing on the situation in front of him.

'There must be hundreds of them. And the alarm isn't sounding at all, someone must've deactivated it. Well...' He looked down and hid a chuckle. 'If it's a horde I'm fighting... What better way to reveal that than right now?'

"Stand back! Thirteen protect the kids!" Aizawa shouted, Thirteen complying without question.

"Wait? They're actual villains?!" Denki shouted, appalled at the sheer coincidence. He, along with many others thought it was a simulation set up by the faculty.

"How interesting..." They stared at a villain whose wore an elegant suit, having an entire body was made out of a dark purple mist, save for his eyes, a glowing yellow.

"According to the schedule we retrieved from UA, All Might was supposed to be here with you all..." He(or it?) muttered.

'So they were the ones who broke the barrier then.' Momo thought, calmly getting ready for a combat situation even though she was scared.

"Where is he, Eraserhead? Where is All Might?" They then looked at a pale man with a raspy voice, walking out of the misty portal created by the purple mist man. The man had messy, grayish-blue hair.

His eerie costume consisted of a black jacket and black pants, and fourteen embalmed hands, all positioned so they were holding onto him on different parts of his body. If one asked how does a villain look like, this man would be a prime example.

"I went through the trouble of bringing so many friends who're oh so eager to meet him. They want All Might, The great Symbol of Peace!" The man paused.

"But I guess he's not showing up. Maybe if I kill a few of his precious kids, he'll come out to play." The man pointed at them, ordering the villains at the central plaza to charge.

"Thirteen, get them outta here and alert the main campus—!" Aizawa widened his eyes as a portal sucked him in, transporting him to another area of the facility.

"Sensei!" The students shouted in horror.

"A pleasure to meet you, children. We are the League of Villains. I must say, isn't this a fitting place for All Might to take his last breath?" The mist man walked out of another portal.

"Though I believe he was supposed to be here today and yet I see no sign of him. No matter, I still have a role to play..." A dark fog spread out from his hands as he warped all of the students and Thirteen to another place in a matter of seconds.

"Oh?" The man looked at Sukuna who disappeared just before the fog went near him, not being transported by the mass of dark fog he created.

"Hey! Where'd this kid come from—AHH!!!"

The mist man immediately turned towards the central plaza. His yellow eyes widened a little, as he saw blood splashing from a certain area. He watched, as Sukuna stood in the middle of the horde with about six villains lying on the ground around him, blood leaking from them.

'Cuts? But... he said that this kid only has a power boosting Quirk—'

"Ahhh!! My arms! My arms!!!!" One villain scream as he found his arms lacerated all over before his head was forcefully slammed into the concrete ground by a hand with dark purple fingernails and markings around his wrist.

Sukuna stood up, as another villain started shooting at him. He didn't spare a glance as he only leaned to the left, letting the bullets pass by him, with it hitting a villain instead.

With a casual swipe of his hand, a giant cut appeared on the shooter's chest, the man falling down a second later, sprawled out on the ground weakly.

Sukuna rushed past another bunch of villains, dashing past tens of them without stopping. Blood splashed everywhere from the people he ran past, as invisible cuts appeared on their bodies without a source.

"You brat! Let's see you get through this!" A man with a body hardening quirk appeared before Sukuna, his body hardening.

"Huh?!" The man widened his eyes, staring at Sukuna who suddenly stopped before him, palm held out before his chest.

The horde of enemies watched in horror as the villain was quickly dispatched, giant lacerations all over his torso as he fell.

"Who the hell is that kid..." The blue haired villain growled out. "You said he only has a body enhancing Quirk, Kurogiri!" He glared at the mist man who had appeared beside him.

"I... am not sure myself, Master Tomura. Have we been lied to?" The man with the warping Quirk, Kurogiri, questioned Shigaraki calmly. The blue haired man, Tomura Shigaraki, was silent, glaring at Sukuna blowing through the horde of villains like they were all cannon fodder.

"Sukuna. Are you alright? Where are you currently?" Sukuna heard Momo's voice over his walkie talkie. He narrowed his eyes, grabbing it as he continued to fight, using powerful kicks to deal with them.

"I'm fine. I'm at the central plaza, I think. I didn't get warped by that mist guy. Where are you all?" He asked as he calmly flicked his finger, as multiple villains suddenly had large cuts on their bodies.

"We were all split up into different simulation areas by that man's portal Quirk. Denki and Jiro are with me, we're fighting them off as we speak." Sukuna heard zapping noises in the background from Momo's side which confirmed her statement.

"Keep fighting. That's the best course of action for the moment." He paused for a moment, dodging some bullets before lightly flicking his wrist, the shooter having cuts all over his body a second later.

"Ida, since we're cut off. I want you to run as fast as you can to UA and alert the teachers. The rest of you... I only have one request..." He looked at the rest of the horde surrounding him, unimaginable bloodlust leaking from them as he slowly put down his walkie talkie.

"Fight to win."

...

"He's really going at it huh?" Uraraka watched from afar, noticing Sukuna grabbing a villain by his shirt and throwing him towards a rock formation without mercy, before punching another in the solar plexus, knocking him out without a moment's hesitation.

"But what are those slash attacks? I thought his Quirk was strength enhancement..." She looked at Mina for answers.

"I..." Mina muttered, having no idea herself. Her and Shoji having been paired with the Uraraka. Ida, originally with them, had already ran off to UA at full speed, following Sukuna's plan.

"It's best if we focus on fighting. He can explain it to us later." Shoji interrupted, punching away a random villain who thought fighting a man with six arms with only two was a great idea.

"Tch!" Bakugo, in another area of the training facility, blitzed through multiple villains, shooting off explosions that quickly dispatched them. "Man! You League guys are weak as hell! And y'all wanted to challenge All Might?! Buncha comedians!" He ranted, grinning maniacally.

"Hah!" Izuku shouted, punching a villain. He, Tsuyu and Mineta had landed in the Flood Zone area, and are now fighting off a bunch of villains.

"I can't do this anymore! Where the hell is All Might?!" Mineta shouted, as he saw more and more villains climbing onto the ship they were on.

Meanwhile, Aizawa had just kicked away a villain before he heard a giant footstep from behind. He turned around, and immediately took a step back out of sheer disbelief at his next opponent.

"What the hell are you..."
