Izuku enters the room as the lights return. Aizawa sees him enter and exits his sleeping bag. Izuku sees Shinso in the cage. Izuku goes to the tables to restock his gear.

Izuku, facing the table: Well, you did good Caterpillar.

Aizawa: *sigh* Don't call me that Izuku.

Izuku, now facing the room: But it's true, you are a CATerpillar and you did good. Anyways, hello Shinso.

Shinso: ... Hey...

Izuku: I have an offer for you. You join the villains team. Prove to them that their words about your quirk can have an effect.

Shinso: ...

Aizawa: Izuku!

Izuku, shoots Aizawa's leg with a blood bullet: Not now Caterpillar.

In the silence, Izuku turns back to the table. He then starts muttering to himself, and Aizawa can just barely hear it: Please say yes... I want to trust you... Please don't leave me... Please...

Aizawa: Join us Shinso, I'm with Izuku. You know what others said about my quirk, so show them what they made.

Shinso: ... Okay... Okay, I will join you Izuku.

Izuku turns around, lets Shinso out of the cage, and undoes his cuffs: Wonderful! Now, to prove yourself, capture Bakugo. Bring him here using your quirk. Aizawa will guide you through the tunnels, but you must be the one to capture him.

Shinso: Okay Izuku.

Aizawa and Shinso leave the room to get Katsuki. Once they are a good 15 minutes away, Izuku leaves to the room with dead end tunnels. Once there, he shoots the drone, but before he can even call Kurojiri, a portal opens in the room. Shigaraki walks out and Kurojiri materializes next to him.

Shigaraki walks up to Izuku and hugs him: Are you okay bunny?

Izuku, surprised by the hug: Yeah, I'm fine. What are you doing here?

Kurojiri: Well, Shigaraki here became fed up with everyone going missing, so he made the decision for us to come here ourselves to help and protect you.

Izuku, separating from the hug: Aww. That is nice. Well, since you are here. I do have something to tell you.

Shigaraki: What is it, bunny?

Izuku: Well, I haven't been entirely honest with you. No one has gone missing. I simply gave them a choice. I put out an offer to them, a second chance. And now I put it to you guys too. I want to give you a second chance. You become what you truly want to be.

Kurojiri is silent, in shock of what has been said. Shigaraki is also silent, contemplating what he should say or do. He then comes to a conclusion.

Shigaraki: Fight me.

Izuku: Huh?

Shigaraki: Fight me. If you want me to accept this, fight me. You win and I'll accept. I win, I take you with me back to the LoV base.

Izuku: ... Fine...

Izuku's thoughts: He is very set in this. He must want to earn this, even though I am offering this for nothing. If this will help him, then so be it.

Kurojiri: I will referee. First one to tap out looses or pins for ten seconds wins. Is this acceptable?

Shigaraki: Yeah.

Izuku: Mhm.

Kurojiri: On the count to three. 1... 2... 3 Fight!

Shigaraki runs at Izuku, hand outstretched. Instead of moving, Izuku grabs Shigaraki's hand, but keeps him at arm's length so that he cannot use his other hand.

Izuku: Please reconsider and accept my offer.

Shigaraki: If you want me to accept, you have to fight me.

Izuku sighs, changes his grip on Shigaraki so that he can flip him over him. Shigaraki lands on his back and Izuku jumps back a couple of feet. He is inspecting his hand while waiting for Shigaraki to get up.

Izuku's hand only has a couple layers of flesh damaged. This brings him to the conclusion that Shigaraki isn't using his quirk to the point of killing him. He just wants to weaken him. He also noticed that the wound only stung a little bit. He comes to the conclusion that his pain tolerance was much higher than he thought, but knows he will come down with a fever later. He then hears Shigaraki rushing at him again.

Just as Shigaraki gets within touching distance, Izuku jumps over him while erasing his presence from the room. Not even Kurojiri could tell where he was. Izuku delivers a right hook to Shigaraki's cheek, sending him into a wall. When Shigaraki gets his bearings, Izuku kicks him in the back towards the other side of the room and down a tunnel a bit. When he exits the tunnel, Izuku is nowhere to be seen. Izuku then delivers another blow to Shigaraki's back, sending him back to the middle of the room. Izuku walks up to Shigaraki as he flips over. When he tries to stand up, Izuku pushes on his chest with his foot, pushing the air out of Shigaraki's lungs. He is so out of breath that he can't move his limbs.

Ten seconds later, Kurojiri: You win Izuku, please let him up.

Izuku removes his foot and lets Kurojiri help Shigaraki up. Izuku becomes lost in his thoughts while this is happening and starts mumbling without realizing it.

Izuku mumbling: I won... That's good... But I really didn't like this... It didn't want to hurt him... I told myself I wouldn't... I'm a monster for that...

Kurojiri walks up to Izuku and kneels in front of him: You are not a monster, Izuku. You did not have a choice in this fight. You have a heart of gold and are a true hero.

Izuku looks at Kurojiri and begins to cry. He hugs Kurojiri who returns the gesture. After Izuku calms down, he lets go of Kurojiri. Before saying anything, Izuku takes out emergency bandages he carries and wraps his hand so it hopefully won't get worse.

Izuku: Okay, let's get you two to the others. I'm not going to bother shutting the entire system down. I'll just have the cameras turn off when we get close and they will turn back on when we are out of range of them. Let's get going. Oh, before we go, just so the pros don't see you as a threat, could I put these quirk suppression cuffs on you two please?

Kurojiri: Yes you may. Also, I will carry Shigaraki so that we can be quick like you want.

Izuku smiles: Thanks Kurojiri.

Izuku puts the cuffs on Kurojiri and Shigaraki. Kurojiri picks up Shigaraki like a piggy back ride and then follows Izuku. Once they are out of the tunnels and at the emergency staircase door, Izuku stops. He takes out the marble and breaks it. Once Ojiro was out, Izuku quickly cuffed him and detained him.

Izuku: Before we go up there Kurojiri, could you please confirm that Ojiro and Hagakure are your UA spies?

Kurojiri: Of course Izuku. Yes, Ojiro and Hagakure are the spies we have here in UA. I am both surprised and not surprised that you found out who they were.

Izuku smiles and says: I have always been too smart for my own good, so when I was falsely accused of being the UA Traitor, I started my own investigation and it led me to him and Hagakure.

Shigaraki: Remind me to never get in your bad side bunny.

Izuku: Noted. Now, lets go up. Come on Ojiro.

Izuku with Ojiro in hand starts up the staircase, followed by Kurojiri with Shigaraki. Once up there, Izuku enters the teacher's observation room and puts Ojiro on the couch. Kurojiri follows and puts Shigaraki on it too.

Izuku: Here is the last of the footage you need Principal Nezu. Also, Recovery Girl, could you please heal Shigaraki's wounds? I didn't want to, but I did hurt him pretty good. Anyways, got to go, oh and one more thing.

Izuku walks over to Ojiro and with his dagger, stabs him in the heart: Now he is out. See you soon.

Izuku leaves without another word.
