Meanwhile, in the same labyrinth, the remaining heroes were still trapped under Mimic's abilities as it remained still for a moment. One of the heroes, Rock Lock was getting upset at this situation. Since they separated from this yakuza's quirk, no one has had the chance to get close to HN. The only one close enough to reach her in time would be LeMillion. However, with the labyrinth mixed all at once, there would be no guarantee he would've made it in time. Suddenly, within the moment, he felt a disturbance drawing near.
"Looks like this mission isn't a total bust," he replied, dodging an attack from behind.
As he looked in the direction of the attack, he noticed that it was one of the League of Villains striking him: Himiko Toga. Realizing how fast she's gotten, he had to make sure she had to be put down for good. So, when she struck him with her small blade, he used his quirk to freeze the knife in place, making her fall off for a moment. He reached her vantage point to knock her out, but her form dissolved into mud in minutes. Shocked by this revelation, he was taken a step back momentarily. That was until he felt her on his back.
"Sorry. We're not here for you heroes." she whispered to him, stabbing him on his side, "As of now, we're simply following orders. So don't get in our way and we'll let you survive."
However, as she heard the sound of cracks rumbling near their area, Toga had to do something. In a blink of an eye, she grabbed a stash of YN's blood as she used earlier, and activated it with her quirk. As the walls finally crumbled down, so did her fake tears.
"We're here, Rock Lock! Are you-" Midoriya spoke but stopped as he saw him on the floor.
Unsure what had happened, he noticed a familiar figure sitting next to him in tears.
"Please... someone help him."
"HN??" Midoriya surprisingly replied but was held back by Aizawa.
"HN, what happened here?"
"There was a villain... who attacked us." Toga lied, in YN's voice, "I didn't see it happen at first, but Rock Lock saved me. After activating my quirk, I managed to get him away, but it wasn't enough of him to save him from the bleeding... Please spare him!"Aizawa examined Rock Lock's body and tried to understand her side of the 'story'. Meanwhile, Midoriya continued to talk to her.
"How did you escape from Overhaul?" he asked.
"His goons had me watching the entire time and I had one chance to run! And now that I found you Izuku, we can get out of here."Midoriya stopped for a moment.
The YN he recalled called him by his last name: Midoriya.
This wasn't YN at all.
However, he couldn't determine it by just that alone."Wait. How did you get your power back?"
"Overhaul used his quirk on me."That was another lie he caught.
YN never called him by his villain name.
She called him by his name Kai.
He knew things weren't adding up."What's wrong, Izuku? Why aren't you helping me out?"
"Because I know you aren't you."
"What are you talking about? It is me?"
"If that's the case, why haven't you used your quirk to heal Rock Lock here?"
"I don't have that spell memorized."
"Bull. The real HN would've activated her quirk with such ease to heal him easily."
"But I am her!"
"Prove it then. Heal him."Looking at Rock Lock's body and back at Izuku, Toga knew this had to be handled properly. She started to place her hands on Rock Lock's wound, but no power glowed within her hands in minutes. Aizawa, who noticed Midoriya's strategy unfolding, prepared to place his glasses on his face to activate his quirk.
"Looks like my quirk has taken too much from me after running for so long. Sorry..."
"I see. So, that means your form must be out too."
"My form? What are you talking about?"
"Well, if you are truly who you say you are, then you know your form doesn't last long either."Realizing what he said was truthful, she did recall how YN originally became after losing her powers from Compress. Trying to shut him up, she ran towards him, striking him with a blade, but was stopped by Aizawa's quirk, revealing her true form.
"I knew it! Himiko Toga!"
"Oh? So you do remember my name?! I'm happy for you! Because not many people know my name before I die!"As she was close to ending him with her blade, Aizawa grasped her with his scarf as tight as possible.
"Stop, Himiko Toga," he began, activating his quirk, "You're under arrest!"
"Oh? Am I though?" she asked, grabbing the scarf as tight as she could.Seeing her pulling herself towards Aizawa's area, he grabbed his blade on the side of his leg and prepared to swing towards her. Feeling the release from her body, she fled the group and hid from the two. Aizawa, who stood firm from his spot, investigated the matter. If Himiko Toga is apart from the yakuza, who else is involved, and how dangerous is this rescue mission for YN?
"Aizawa, we need to tend to Rock Lock, quick!"
"Right. Grab my scarf and wrap it around him."
"On it!"To ensure his blood remains still in his body, Midoriya began the wrapping skills he'd learned from Recovery Girl. However, he noticed that the blood was locked up and no blood was leaking out of his body.
"No need to worry about me..." he whispered weakly, as he got up slowly, "I'll be fine."
Feeling the pain of the stab, Rock Lock took deep breaths as he kept himself in check.
"Look... that villain who hit me hard... mentioned they're following orders..."
"By whom? Overhaul?"
"You'd think, but she didn't mention his name."
"Then this must be the villain in question. If he's involved with the yakuza and the League of Villains, we don't know how powerful this creature could be. Midoriya, is it possible for other villains to have any interest in the League/ have beef with the yakuza?"
"Truthfully, I don't know. The only one who might know that answer would be..."Realizing what he concluded, there were two reasons why Sir didn't join in the first place. One was due to his injury, but the second was because this was a mutual thing. And if that's the case, he knows who has her now and what kind of quirk he has. And if he knows, the one who doesn't may be in more trouble than he already is.
"What is it, Midoriya? You went quiet."
"LeMillion's in trouble," were the only words Midoriya spoke firmly. "I have to go!"
