It was the morning after and the sisters were on their way to the rooftop to meet their favourite trio. Katana had talked to the illusion assassin earlier, named Andrea, who was on her way there as well with a few other assassins. She explained the plan to Anna in more detail once they were close.

"The plan is that Andrea will use her quirk to make it seem like villains are there. Once they catch onto that it's just illusions and attack the source, Andrea won't hold back. She is one of the toughest assassins from home with or without her quirk. The other assassins will attack all of us except for one. When almost killing one of the three, you will jump in and take it, protecting that person from Andrea. Some of the blood will actually be yours and some will be an illusion." the white haired girl explained. Anna nodded and understood.

"Piece of cake."

Unlike last time, the three heroes were already waiting on the rooftop when the girls arrived.

"Good morning, did you use the information we gave you well?" the blue eyes assassin said smirking under her mask.

They walked towards the pros with no weapons on them like last time, except for a few small knives in some pockets. There was a long silence before the ash blonde spoke.

"There's still a lot more we need to know to stop them. A stupid list isn't going to help that much."

Anna was about to go off on him but was stopped by her sister. The girls needed their trust and it couldn't happen if they fought all the time.

"By the way, what are your names? And why can't we see your faces?" the icy pro asked.

"Nobody knows of our identities and we'd like to keep it that way. And just call us... I don't know, Copy and Dizzy." the white haired girl suggested.

"You mean like... your quirks?" the purple haired hero spoke after being silent this whole time.

The girls nodded.

"We knew you'd feel like we're hiding things from you so we brought you some more information... Just in case you were doubting us." Katana said and handed over a note.

Before the heroes could answer, about 10 villains surrounded them suddenly. All went into fighting stances immediately, with Bakugo being the first to attack one. The villains kept dodging his attacks, so he didn't understand that it was an illusion yet. It wasn't until the red and white haired pro shot ice at them that they realised it.

"The ice is going through them, it's an illusion!"

Now even more angry, the crimson eyed man boosted himself up to the sky, looking for the source of them.

"Hey, you!"

The others ran towards the direction he was flying at. He must've found the person behind it.

"Aw, you found me. That's too bad, I've had fun these last couple of days. Anyways..." a woman surrounded by people in black said sarcastically and pulled out two swords.

She began to fight against the ash blonde and you could really tell that he was struggling. The other assassins started to fight with the remaining two heroes and two sisters. No one was holding back. As Andrea was about to slice Bakugos head off, Anna stepped in with her staffs to block the sword.

"Look out!"

The sharp blades from the sword cut through her staffs and sliced her knuckles. She fell on her knees and Bakugo jumped in front of her right after. He blasted Andrea but she had already started to run away. Katana rushed to her sisters side and helped her up.

"Are you ok????" she asked and wanted to appear as extremely worried, even though she wasn't.

Anna just nodded and looked at her shaking hands, now covered in her own blood with the illusion of more.

The other assassins who were fighting Shoto and Shinso stopped and ran away as well. Just as Bakugo was going to go after them, Katana put her hand out and told him to not to.

"We can't just let them go!" he yelled and pushed her hand out of the way.

"No, she's right. They were illusions as well..." the half-cold half-hot quirk user spoke.

"Then why did you fight them you idiots!" now even more angry, the ash blonde stomped towards his coworker.

"Because I didn't notice it until they started to run away. As soon as they hit the sun, there weren't any shadows..."

The crimson eyed pro scoffed before looking back at the girls. As soon as he saw Annas bloody hands he looked down to the ground, feeling guilty because of it.

"You didn't have to jump in you know, I could've beaten her myself!" he yelled, still looking to the ground.

"You should thank me, if it wasn't for me you wouldn't have a head right now!" Anna yelled back and stood up.

"We're gonna go. See you around." Katana said and walked away with the black haired assassin.

The three heroes didn't say anything and went to work. After the recent events, all three had the same thoughts in mind.

"She said she'd been following us for a couple of days, so she must've messed with my head and made illusions of Mikio or at least someone that looks like her... I knew I wasn't going crazy."

When the girls arrived home they found Andrea waiting in the living room. As soon as they made eye contact they sprinted towards each other and hugged.

"I can't believe it worked so well!" Katana squealed.

"I know! Whatever helps with getting you girls home soon, I had to pull out my best tricks! Though I am a bit tired now..." Andrea answered and the girls stopped jumping around and squeezing her.

"Sorry, I'll get you some water and you can rest on my bed. Anna, I will wrap your hands in bandages right after." Katana said and went to do those things.

A few hours later

As Katana was sitting and eating on the couch with Anna, she couldn't stop thinking about how they should proceed with their plan. They've at least gotten their trust a little, but would they lead her and her sister to the league? She snapped out of her thoughts when she heard the TV going on.

"Both exciting and heartbreaking news to the city of Musutafu. An old case has been opened up, about a certain young girl who died 4 years ago after being kidnapped by a group of villains. While the case of Ms Mikio is confidential, what we do know is that recently it has been discovered that the body that was found, was not hers. We can only hope for the-"

Anna turned the TV off when she heard Katana drop her food and hold her head. She knew her sister had another headache incoming. The green eyed girl rushed to get a glass of water for her sister to drink when it's over.

"Tell me what you see, Kat."

Katana couldn't get a word out, just holding onto her head like it was going to fall apart if she let go. Her breathing was only getting louder and louder. Anna put a hand on her sisters shoulder to try and calm her down but it didn't seem to be helping.

The white haired girl found herself in a facility of some sort. She could see mountains, water and buildings all under one roof. Suddenly, there was purple fog all around her. But all that disappeared just as fast and she found herself in an arena full of people. She couldn't see the people close to her clearly, but they were all wearing the same clothes and there was someone standing up on a stage. He turned around and there was one thing she could see clearly now, his crimson eyes staring right into her soul.
