Izuku's POV:

I was still confused about what was going on. One minute I was injured and the next I had him pinned, only to be in the same position I was in before. I could no longer use my legs anymore since they had taken so much damage. I thought this was the end, but I then remembered the potency the pellets have as soon as they were released. As soon as he fired his shot, I quickly pulled out 5 pellets and threw them at the beam, immediately dispersing all light and power it had.

Leader: "You really are one annoying brat." he says to me while he walks up to me as I hear what sounded like a tactical baton being extended.

I had no idea what to do from here. I may be trained in CQC but without my legs, I couldn't do much. I tried to feel around to see what I had around me. I then felt the handle of something. He only came closer as I heard the whoosh of the baton being swung up, getting ready to hit. I grabbed the handle of whatever it was and used it to jab it to the person's leg. I could hear him screaming in pain.

Leader: "Argh, you damn brat." as I could hear him take a few steps back with the object still in his leg. "Let's end this." He says while I had nothing left around me to defend myself.

I then heard him groan once more as I heard a wall got demolished.

LH(LastHerowhosignedIzuku'snotebook): "Are you okay kid?" he asks while he crouches down to me out of breath, clearly exhausted from fighting the previous enemies.

Izuku: "M-My friend. She left the exhibit with her family to call for help. I heard some screams from them." I said weakly.

LH: "Don't worry. I'm sure everything will be okay." he says.

No one's Pov:

During the earlier fights, the villains were well-organized thanks to the leader giving out orders while remaining hidden. But due to the Hatsumes and Izuku trying to escape, he was preoccupied trying to stop them, leaving his lackeys to defend themselves.

Although they were decent fighters, without them properly coordinating with each other, it was only a matter of time until the heroes could get used to their fighting style, from there, the villains were then overwhelmed.

When LH heard the sound of fighting still going on, he and his sidekicks rushed to the noise of it. Once he heard the Leader speak, he told his sidekicks to go outside to call the police for transport. He then charged at the Leader, knocking him into the wall. He then looked down to see a small child-like figure, and once he got closer, he realized it was the kid from earlier.

Once Izuku told him about the Hatsumes, he was pretty sure that his sidekicks handled the attackers.

LH: 'Wow, this kid is amazing. He managed to fend off against a villain all by himself. Although he might get in trouble for using his quirk, I can use my name as a hero to help him get out of it.' he thought as he planned to get the kid on his side since he can only grow from here with his quirk.

He then picked up the kid to find a better spot for him to rest as he sat next to him.

LH: "What you did is brave? Whatever quirk you used really helped us. I think the person you were fighting was their leader, and without his instructions, the others fell, allowing us to take them down," he says to Izuku, trying to compliment him. "But even then, there are still the quirk laws. You may get in trouble for using your quirk, even for self-defense, but I can help you get out of it.'' He then tried to appear as a savior to him.

Izuku: "Th-Thanks." Izuku says while blushing, "B-but I didn't use a quirk to challenge him." as he felt somewhat awkward.

LH: "Well that's even more amazing." he says surprised, "Your quirk must be really impressive if the base ability of yours is this good." which only made Izuku look away a bit. He mumbled something, but it wasn't comprehensible to the hero. "Sorry, what was that?" he asks.

Izuku: "I-I don't have a quirk at all." Izuku says shyly, which dropped a bomb on the LH opinion of Izuku.

LH slowly got up as he felt a bit of disgust.

LH: "I take back everything I said." which brought down Izuku's mood, "What you did was not brave but idiotic. You're trying to prove to be useful as a quirkless person, but you had no backups at all. At least if you had a quirk, you had a backup plan for when fighting quirkless is useless. You could have died. You won't get in trouble with the authorities since this counts as self-defense but never do something like this again." He says sternly before he walked away, leaving Izuku to feel bad about himself.

Izuku: 'Even a hero said what I did was dumb.' which brought a whole different wave of emotions.

The scene changes to what appears to be a rickety bridge when one of the ropes then snapped. Making the bridge even more unstable.

The scene changes again to the Hatsumes as they are being helped out by the sidekicks who were able to take down the three attackers. The sidekicks then walked outside, where they were finally able to get reception and called the police for pickup.

The scene changes once more to Lackey#11 and Lackey#12 as they were in the security room of the museum.

Lackey#11: "What's the assessment?" he asks coldly. Lackey#12 removed her mask, revealing her deep dead crimson eyes and her coal-black hair.

Lackey: "Poorly. He showed promise as a small-time leader, so I decided to test him when things don't go according to plan." as it flashes back to her sabotaging the device that was supposed to redirect all calls to her. "Too bad he couldn't even handle a kid." as she shows great resentment for expecting something good from him.

Lackey#11: "What do you want to do Akane?" he asked.

Akane: "Don't call me that while we're working, Hiroto. We may be childhood friends but I'm still one of the bosses for the Awakeners while you are just a lackey." she said to him as she stretched her arms.

Hiroto*sighs*: "So what do you want to do boss?" he asks again in a cold manner, making her giggle.

Akane: "You know what we do with trash. We throw them away." as she pulls out a remote from her pocket, activating the chips that each lackey had been implanted with, destroying the support gear they had and also scrambling their brains, turning them into a vegetative state.

Hiroto: "What a waste of resources." He says as he was concerned about the money spent to buy the support gears.

Akane: "It's alright, we can always order more. I just need to tinker with them a bit to make them unrecognizable." she says since she was somewhat of the inventor of the group, "Now then, make us disappear." she says loudly and cheerfully as she stood up and raised her arms.

Hiroto: "With you being that loud, I have no choice." he then touches her hand, activating his quirk to make them invisible, just in time for the heroes to barge in for the loud noise while they sneakily got out.

Akane: "Still, I didn't expect the boy to be here.' She thought to herself as she was being dragged by Hiroto, carefully not making any contact with anything.
