Kai Chisaki was currently practicing in his private dojo. This time he was practicing Judo. A woman with purple and pink hair opened the door and walked in.

???: You wanted to see me, Mr. Chisaki.

Chisaki the stooped training and grabbed a towel and wrapped it around his neck.

Chisaki: Well, if it isn't my go to assassin. How are you, Ms. Kaina Tsutsumi?

She lifted her elbow and a rifle popped out of it and had it aimed for his head.

Kaina: It's Lady Nagant, asshole.

Chisaki: . . . . . Care to go for a round of sparring. After all, I need to see if you are capable to taking people hostage.

Nagant: Bring it, dickwad.

Chisaki: Careful, careful. You know I'm paying you. You wouldn't be able to get that money if I am dead, right?

Nagant: Tch!

They continued to spar and after a few rounds of sparring, the ended the session.

Nagant: I'm surprised a quirkless bastard can keep up with a former Pro Hero.

Chisaki: A wealthy person has got to defend themselves regardless of the circumstances. Now, then. Are you ready to receive your orders?

Nagant: Yes, sir!

Chisaki: Good to hear.

Meanwhile at UA, The Pro Heroes were all in a meeting and Izuku was listening in on the conversation. And things were turning out interesting.

Nighteye: All Might, if you go you'll die in this raid. I can guarantee it.

AM: Fate can always change.

Nighteye: There is a difference between Destiny and Fate. Destiny is perceived to be the journey in which you go through to get to that destination. Fate is the inevitable. And your death will be inevitable if you decided to join us. Please, for your safety.

AM: You don't tell me what to do! You are just a sidekick! Nothing more!

Nighteye: All Might, You know everyone here looks up to you in the same way that current and future generations will. Don't let the anger you have for the Spiegels get to you.

The number one pro hero then punched Nighteye as he stumbled back shocking everyone.

AM: DO . . . . .NOT. . . . .STOP ME. . . . ., MIRAI!!

He then left and left everyone flabbergasted, even Izuku.

Izuku: Jesus. I know he hated me, but to literally go and join just to get the fame back is just sad. I would never have believed it if I hadn't heard it for myself.

Nighteye: We have to stop him. We need to have our Symbol of Peace, lest our society be thrown in chaos.

Rock Lock: This isn't All Might. If it hadn't been for you--!

As he hoisted Izuku by the collar, Izuku easily countered and placed a gun to his head.

Izuku: You had best believe that I am not going to be someone's bottom bitch. I didn't do jack squat. So stop blaming me for your guys' insecurities when it comes to fame and heroism. After all, Ernest Becker said it best. Let me summarize it for you: "Heroism is the vital lie that gives human being rationale to develop a character that will eventually mean naught for we are but feeble beings who will one day return to the earth." In other words, Heroes; Villains; artificial constructs to give a person a false sense of security and purpose in this fucking universe.
