Freezing Flames

Hideout raid

No one's pov

"Shoto! Burnin called me and told me about what happened!" Kazuya frantically said through the phone. "Are you alright? You're not hurt are you?"

"Just a few scratches. Luckily." He mumbled, as he made his way to Midoriya's room with his classmates. "Don't worry. I'm fine."

"I'm glad." Kazuya said. "And about your friend Bakugo. The heroes are already forming a raid team to look for the league and rescue him. As it turns out, one of your friends had managed to place a tracking device on one of those nomu creatures, so they figured out the hideouts location."

"Yes, I know. I overheard Yaoyarozu telling All Might what she did when I came here to visit my friends."

"So don't worry, the pros are already on it. Although senpai Hawks is currently on a mission and won't be able to make it."

"Thanks for that aneki. I'll make sure to let nee-san know." Saying so, he cut the call.

"Was that Kazuya senpai?" Tokoyami asked.

"Yeah, she was worried about me."

"Since she is your older sister, I wouldn't find that surprising." he said.

When nearly all of class A were in Deku's hospital room, they waited until he woke up and then filled him in on what had transpired. He expressed his guilt of not being able to save someone who was right in front of him. To everyones surprise, except Todoroki, Kirishima insisted that they go rescue Bakugo themselves. While the entire class protested, he directed the question to Deku, as to whether he was ready to take the chance to save the friend he couldn't save in the past.

Iida instantly refused Kirishimas idea and said that they should let the pros handle the situation. But Kirishima snapped and said that he was ashamed of being unable to help his friend when he knew very well that his life was in danger. He insisted that Deku atleast think about it before they all left.

Just before the raid

Inside the League of Villains' hideout, Shigaraki, along with the Vanguard Action Squad and Bakugo were watching the broadcast of U.A.'s public apology.

Tomura asked Bakugo if he understood as to why U.A was criticised.

"Pros and heroes sure have it rough, don't you think Bakugo."

Spinner agreed that in the current society, Heroes were only doing their job for compensation and rewards and not out of selflessness.

Tomura ordered Dabi to remove Katsuki's restraints.

"Huh? You know he'll just fight." Dabi said surprised.

"It's fine, we're recruiting him so we should treat him as an equal."

Dabi turned and said, "Twice, you do it."

"SURE THING! No way!"

"Do it."

"Ugh fine!"

Mr. Compress apologized to Bakugo for forcibly kidnapping him and explained that the League of Villains was not just a group of hoodlums committing crimes, nor did they casually abduct him, but that everyone in the League of Villains were shackled by the current society.

BOOM!

As Tomura approached Bakugo, he was attacked by his explosions.

"I'm done listening to your endless talking! Could you not get to the point already, or do you just like the sound of your own voice?" He growled.

Bakugo proudly told the League of Villains that it was pointless to try and make him change his mind as he was already won over by All Might and wanted to win like him and nothing they say would ever change that.
