"....What?" Yukino breathed out, because that was all he could think to say.
This villain, who had tried to kill All Might, as well as his fellow students, wanted him to join him?
"You realize how messed up that sounds, right?!" Yukino yelled.
Shigaraki grinned behind the hand on his face before saying, "Why not? I've seen how ruthless you can be. You're wasting your potential with these NPCs. Join the League of Villains, and you'll upgrade to being a boss."
Yep, it's official. Tomura Shigaraki is batshit insane. As in, he's taken way too many blows to the head.
Yukino charged up Deep Freeze, making a sweeping motion with his hand as he said, "Thanks, but no thanks!"
Shigaraki didn't even move as ice flooded towards him. He just held out his palms and smiled as the ice broke down into shards.
"Really? Huh, and here I thought you'd be more interested. Especially given your history.", he said.
Yukino flinched at that. What did he know? Better question: how much did he know?
"I don't know what you're talking about.", he said, using his quirk to form braces.
Shigaraki simply nodded before saying, "You sure? Odd, your skills certainly resemble Kori Izado."
The moment those words left his mouth, a glacier was sent flying as him. Shigaraki moved out of the way gracefully before smiling like he had won the lottery.
"Oh? It seems I've struck a nerve."

"Have you found them yet?!" Iida screamed.
Ever since Riku had gone missing, he had been antsy, wanting nothing more than to run off and find him. Unfortunately, they were given explicit orders to sit tight.
"Don't worry," Cementoss said. "If he's here, we'll find him."
"That's not what I'm worried about." Iida ground out, glaring at the ground.
"What do you mean class prez? Yukino's pretty strong, and he's pretty quick on his feet. I'm sure he'll be fine!" Kirishima said calmly.
"No, you don't get it! Yukino isn't like most hero students!"
*
Ice spread out across the battlefield as Yukino's eyes glowed blue. He was going to tear Shigaraki a new one!
"Iida, what are you talking about? You're not making any sense!"
Blue light burned through the veins in Yukino's arms, stopping at his elbows. The same thing happened around his eyes and chest. The glow on his legs ended at his knees.
"Midoriya, Riku didn't learn how to use his quirk the same way we did! Haven't you noticed that he always targets where you're vital?! Or where you're weakest?!"
"Wait, Prez, are you saying what I think you're saying?!"
A cyan, almost white glow emanated from Yukino's throat as he let out a thunderous roar, right before shouting with pure malice, "SHIGARAKI!"
"Riku was taught to strike to kill! If we don't find him soon, he'll lose himself!"
*
"Wow! You really live up to the legends Izado! It no wonder so many high end villains were interested in your quirk!" Shigaraki boasted, before decaying another swarm of ice.
Instead of blue, it showed signs of having a certain iridescence to it, making it flash purple or pink when at a certain angle in the light. It's no wonder he was so sought after.
"Don't fucking call me that!" Yukino yelled, slamming his foot down into the ground.
Spikes of ice erupted out of the ground, forcing Shigaraki to run behind a building. The sheer cold alone was enough to make his joints stiff. If he kept this up, this place would resemble the arctic.
"Tell me something Izado, is it true you once froze a dozen villains at once? Or what about when you turned an entire lake into a glacier?", he sneered, decaying another ice wave.
"My names not FUCKING IZADO!" Yukino screamed.
All of his limbs felt more heavy. It felt like ice would jut out of his limbs if he wasn't careful. But he didn't care. He didn't care and it felt good.
"Haha, look at you! You're so enraged that you don't care who gets hurt! Your perfect villain material!" Shigaraki cheered, laughing chaotically at the end.
Yukino rushed towards Shigaraki, not caring if he got turned to dust or not. He swung around wildly, not showing any restraint or concern for the damage he was causing. All he could feel was rage.
"You're a perfect weapon! I think I might just take you and-"
BANG!
A bullet wound ripped through Shigaraki's leg, and then through his hands. He fell to the ground immobilized, just as Kurogiri grabbed him. Yukino was still too blinded by rage, charging at the villain head on. It was only when he disappeared into a cloud of purple fog that the teen actually stopped to breathe.
"Yukino, I'm pro hero Snipe. I was sent grab you by your brother.", a man stated.
Yukino seemed to stop breathing before a sinister smile spread across his face.
"Finally..."
Snipe barely had time to dodge as the teen snapped at him, biting off the tip of his hat.
"Something new to kill!"
Before the hero could blink, a blue fist wrapped around his throat. He struggled to break free as his guns were frozen to his sides.
"Damn it! Is this kid really gonna kill me?!" Snipe thought.
Just before Yukino could snap his neck, a burst of pink dust slammed into his face, blinding him. He released Snipe, the hero holding his breath as Midnight's quirk. Yukino swung around for a few more seconds, before his body succumbed to the sleep gas. As he collapsed, the glowing on his body stopped.

"Good to see you're beginning to become obedient. Are you done throwing a tantrum?", a woman asked.
A young boy nodded quietly before raising his fist towards a struggling man. He was tied down to a chair, fear evident on his face.
"P- please! I can get the money, just let me go!", he pleaded.
The woman seemed to consider this for a moment before saying, "What do you think Kori?"
The boy didn't even flinch. Not even when the man screamed in pain as ice traveled up his body. The woman seemed thrilled as she clapped her hands excitedly.
"Well done Kori!", the woman stated.
"Way to make momma proud!"
