Villain Deku - Broken

Chapter 21 - The End Of The Line

The League arrived back at their hideout, several of its members severely damaged in one way or another. Deku got off easy, with one broken rib and a pounding headache. Spinner, however, had fractured his elbow and was crying out in pain. Toga was unconscious, with a big, blue bruise growing on her forehead and her body covered in foliage, causing several cuts and bruises along her body which may be infected. Everyone else present was more or else alright, only having a few cuts and bruises. Deku reached into his jacket and pulled out his healing salve. He always had one in his pocket just in case. He tossed it over to Spinner, saying "Apply one dose now and another in 30 minutes. When you're done with it, pass it over to Twice to apply to Toga. Continue for the next two weeks and avoid any heavy labor and you'll be fine." Spinner scowled at him, looking at the ointment as if to smash it. But when he realized the resulting pain would not be worth it, he quickly applied the ointment to his elbow, a look of euphoria immediately covering his face. It quickly left when Spinner saw Deku was still watching, but it had been seen. Deku turned to Compress, a look of business in his eye. "Who is it?" he asked, referring to the captive held in Compress's marble. "Best you don't know. We wouldn't want them to see your face, right, our little secret weapon?" Compress replied, joking. Deku shrugged. He didn't care who they had captured anyway. All that mattered was they had him and that was that. He walked up the stairs to his room, where he opened a drawer and got out a second jar of healing salve. Applying a second dose, he listened to Shigaraki complaining about how the mission had gone terribly and he listened to AFO scolding him. He put the salve away, lay down, and entered his meditative state, resting and letting the salve do its thing. He never felt someone entering his room, nor did he sense a gift be left for him by them.

He wouldn't realize this ever occurred until much, much later.

24 Hours Later...

Deku awoke from his meditative state, refreshed both mentally and physically. The salve had taken effect, and his cuts and bruises healed. They were still sore but that was due to fatigue. It would fade. He got up from his bed and walked downstairs to see the League arguing among themselves. I've just woken up and they're already pissing me off, he thought, rubbing his eyes. "What the problem?" he asked. Everyone turned to look at him, before Compress said, "AFO says we should let the target out." "He's dangerous!" Spinner yelled. "Look what he did to my arm!" Spinner's arm was already healing, but he still had it in a DIY sling. The internal conflict gave the impression that the target was dangerous, but with no idea who it was, Deku said, "Well if All For One says we should let him out, we let him out." The room fell still. It was well known that Deku was AFO's favorite, so it made sense he would choose his side over theirs. Still, they were hesitant. Finally, Compress said, "We'll tie him up. He can't hurt us if he can't move." It was a stupid thought, that someone trained by All Might could be stopped with a rope. Regardless, it was enough. A chair was set up and Compress prepared the marble. Deku covered his face (he was still unknown), and wondered who the target could be. He watched the person emerge from the orb and-

"ABOUT FUCKING TIME, YOU PIECES OF SHIT!" Bakugo yelled as he emerged from the marble, palms blazing with explosives that shook the building's foundations. He landed in a combat stance, palms facing toward his opponents. "Relax, Bakugo." Shigaraki began, his draw-out, raspy voice scraping in Bakugo's ears. "We don't want to hurt you. We want to be your friends." Shigaraki pulled up a chair, being bizarrely professional. "You want to be the No 1 Hero. We can help you. We can help take down all who stand in your way. You just have to do one thing: join the League of Villains, and together no one shall defeat us." He extended his arm hoping for- "YEAH RIGHT! LIKE I'D EVER BE A PIECE OF SCUM LIKE YOU!", Bakugo yelled, interrupting the Narrator a second time. He set off one of his explosions, the force burning Shigaraki's hands. He recoiled, clutching his hand like a mother holds their child. Bakugo continued, "ALL YOU VILLAINS ARE THE SAME. 'JOIN US. BE UNDEFEATABLE.' NO WAY DIPSHITS! IF I'M GONNA BE THE BEST, I'M GONNA DO IT MY WAY, YOU UNDERSTAND!" The room fell silent. Everyone stared, wondering what on Earth would happen next.

 Deku had been listening this entire time, and whilst he had been paying attention to the riveting conversation behind him, he was more worried about the hero/police squad that was circling the building. When silence fell, he went to warn everyone about the approaching threat when there was a knock at the door. " Hello, Kamino Pizza Ward." Everyone was confused. Deku just sat down and accepted the situation. It had been fun with the League but it had run its course, and he didn't think he could get any stronger by being around them. So when the heroes burst through the wall, he did not attempt to run. He allowed Kamui Woods to capture him and embraced the wood. He looked around, noticing Pro Heroes All Might and Edgeshot, alongside a strange old man in a yellow cape which he recognized as Gran Torino, a long-retired Hero. He did not attempt to resist, even when Gran Torino removed his hood.

The same could not be said about Bakugo. When he realized who was under the hood (which took him a second since Deku HAD dyed his hair, had contacts, etc), he was thrown into shock. "You- Your-," "Yes, this is the Villain Deku, trained by Stain and a recent member of the League of Villains". Gran Torino interrupted, introducing Bakugo to a lot more information. Deku... was Midoriya. The brat who he'd told to kill himself, the brat who had killed himself, was also the brat who had defeated him at the USJ? He stepped back, realizing that shit had happened since middle school and that the quirkless kid who could do naught but cry all day long was now one of the strongest villains in Japan. Suddenly, he was surrounded by a strange, black goo that was surrounding his entire body, as well as the bodies of the League of Villains. Shigaraki, Kirogiri, Deku, and the rest. All were engulfed by the ooze before vanishing into thin air. He turned to see All Might lunge forward, grabbing at him... before being engulfed in darkness and cold.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" All Might bellowed at the top of his lungs. He had finally gotten Bakugo back, and he was gone again. He leaped into the Japanese sky, looking for something. Sadly, that was expected of him. He was immediately pulled toward some unseen object at incredible speed. Expecting the worst, he prepared himself for the worst and drew back a fist. When he saw his opponent in all their unholy glory, he swung. And he hit. As did his opponent.

Deku felt the shockwaves as All For One and All Might collided, the two titans threatening to tear the entire city to pieces. He activated his Extrasensory Battle State and analyzed his surroundings, recognizing them as the Nomu Storage Facility he had met All For One in recently. He figured the Nomu were probably out causing havoc since they weren't here. He also noticed several young adults climbing the rubble, attempting to retrieve the blonde shit who was also there. He deactivated his Battle State and dashed toward them, aiming to stop them before they could do anything. Before he reached them, a flash of yellow kicked him in his stomach, knocking the breath from his lungs. The yellow then picked him up and dashed away from the crime scene.

"Gran Torino, huh? I've gotta admit, I'm surprised you got here this fast." Deku said, trying to make some light conversation. "Yeah, keep enjoying yourself, villain. Where you're going, conversation will be the last thing you'll be getting." Gran Torino responded, boosting himself and Deku toward the police station. They arrived soon after, and Deku made no attempts to resist. He was done with it all. The League, All For One, Stain. Now was his time. And he would enjoy it.

The police locked him up in a high-security jail cell which negated all quirks of the users inside it. Deku sat in his cell, using his Extrasensory State to listen to the guards down the hall, to listen to the TV in the staff lounge, and listen to the announcer say that "All Might has emerged victorious from the battle with the supervillain now known as All For One." Deku smiled. Of course, All Might came out on top. He always won. That was his thing. That he never lost. The Symbol Of Peace and all of that. Deku sat back and laughed. And laughed. And activated Mania State and laughed. He only stopped laughing when he fell asleep.
