The atmosphere inside the U.S.J. facility is tense, thick with a palpable sense of dread. Shadows dance across the cavernous space as villains emerge from a swirling black portal, their footsteps echoing ominously. At the front stands Shigaraki, his cracked, decaying hands twitching with a dangerous excitement as his eyes sweep over the room.

"No All Might? Just two heroes... Eraser Head and Thirteen?" he sneers, his voice filled with frustration. "This isn't according to the schedule we were given... Seems like we've got bad intel."

Beside him, Kurogiri nods, his form shifting like a dark mist, his tone calm but sharp. "It matters little," he replies. "We'll adjust. Without All Might, there are only students left to deal with."

Aizawa, standing firm before his students, reads the situation with a grim realization. The villains are more organized than he initially thought; this is no random attack. He quickly steps forward, his voice commanding authority.

"Listen up!" he barks. "These are real villains, and they're here to kill. Follow Thirteen's lead and stay back!"

A wave of fear ripples through the students. Ryo's heart pounds, but he forces himself to focus, swiftly analyzing the situation. He notices the cold, predatory gaze in the eyes of the villains and realizes these aren't just criminals—they are killers who revel in destruction.

Kirishima, his fists clenched, glances around in confusion. "How did they even get in here? U.A. is supposed to be the safest place!"

Beside him, Momo's eyes narrow with concern. "Why aren't the alarms sounding, Thirteen? Shouldn't we be on high alert?"

Thirteen looks puzzled, her brow furrowing. "I don't know... The alarms should have gone off the moment they breached the perimeter."

Todoroki's voice cuts through, calm but cold. "If the alarms aren't working, it means one of them has a Quirk that can mask their presence. They knew exactly when to strike."

Ryo steps forward, piecing together the clues. "And they knew about this training session. That means someone inside gave them information... We need to be careful about who we trust."

Aizawa doesn't waste a moment. His eyes flicker with determination. "Thirteen, get the students out of here and contact the main campus immediately. Kaminari, see if you can boost the signal with your Quirk. We're likely dealing with signal jamming."

Kaminari's hands spark with electricity as he tries to send a distress signal. Midoriya, his face full of worry, speaks up. "Mr. Aizawa, you can't take them all on! There are too many!"

Aizawa throws a steely look over his shoulder. "A pro can't afford to rely on just one trick, Midoriya. I've faced worse odds." With that, he launches himself forward into the thick of battle. His capture weapon snaps into action, binding multiple villains while his Erasure Quirk nullifies their abilities. He moves with precision, evading attacks and countering with agility, each step calculated.

From a distance, Shigaraki watches, his lips curling into a twisted grin. "Not bad... He's got skill. But let's see how long he lasts."

Back with the students, panic begins to spread as Thirteen leads them towards the exit. But before they can make their way out, a thick, swirling mist materializes before them. Kurogiri steps out from the shadows, his voice smooth and menacing.

"Welcome, students," he says. "I am Kurogiri, and we are the League of Villains. We decided to pay this haven of justice a visit."

The students freeze, realizing that their path is blocked. Kurogiri's form expands, his dark mist stretching across the room, effectively cutting off their escape. "Isn't this a fitting place for All Might, the Symbol of Peace, to meet his end?" he continues.

Bakugo and Kirishima, bristling with anger, charge forward. "Like hell we'll let you do that!" Bakugo roars, launching himself at Kurogiri. But their attacks pass harmlessly through his intangible body.

"Impressive," Kurogiri says, mockingly. "But you should be more careful, or someone might get hurt." His mist begins to expand, threatening to envelop the students and scatter them across the facility.

Ryo's mind races. He knows if they're separated, they'll be easy targets. Without hesitation, he uses his Shadow Clone Jutsu, creating multiple copies of himself that quickly spread out to different groups of students, providing them with the support they need to stay together.
He looks at Iida, his face serious. "Iida, we need to find a way to warn the main campus. Your speed might be our best shot. Can you make it out?"

Iida, though hesitant, nods with determination. "I'll do my best! I'll find a way!"

Ryo's first clone appears alongside Midoriya, Tsuyu, and Mineta in the shipwreck zone. The area is chaotic, filled with water and scattered debris, with villains lurking, ready to strike. Ryo quickly assesses the terrain and formulates a plan.

"Tsuyu," he says, his voice calm but firm, "you're the best swimmer here. You can move between the wreckage and take out the villains hidden underwater. Mineta, create a floating path with your Pop Off Quirk. Midoriya you and Mineta, use it to get closer to the enemy without getting in the water."

They spring into action, each using their strengths to neutralize the villains' advantage in the water. Ryo's clone positions himself strategically, throwing kunai to disorient and distract, making it harder for the villains to aim.

Meanwhile, Ryo's second clone appears in the landslide area with Todoroki, Denki, Jiro, and Momo. "Jiro, use your Earphone Jack to locate them," he suggests, quickly coordinating their efforts. Momo creates flashbangs, and Todoroki forms ice barriers to block the villains' advance. The group moves efficiently, taking down their enemies with a well-executed plan.

The third clone materializes in the building area with Bakugo and Kirishima. Bakugo is already in the thick of battle, his explosions lighting up the darkened room. "Stay out of my way, Ryo!" Bakugo snaps, but Ryo remains calm, providing cover and helping Kirishima defend against incoming attacks.

In the fire zone, Ryo's fourth clone works alongside Ojiro. "I'll create a path with my kunai. Cover me with your tail!" he instructs. Together, they navigate the flames, clearing a path to reach the villains and extinguish the fires.

Finally, in the windstorm disaster zone, the fifth clone teams up with Tokoyami and Koda. With Dark Shadow shielding them, they push forward, using Koda's animal allies to locate the enemies controlling the wind machines.

Meanwhile, Ryo's main body stays with Thirteen, Iida, Ochaco, Mina, Shoji, Sato, and Sero. Thirteen looks over, assessing the situation. "Class Rep, prioritize your classmates' safety," she says firmly.

Ryo nods. "I've sent clones to support every group. Iida, you're one of our fastest—get to the main campus and warn them!" Iida hesitates but knows his role is vital. "Your speed is crucial," Ryo urges. "That's why I chose you as my deputy."

Ochaco steps in with a plan. "I can make you float, Iida. Ryo, create a distraction with your clones."

Kurogiri, still hovering nearby, chuckles darkly. "Planning in front of your enemy? How bold."

Thirteen stands ready, her stance firm, her resolve unwavering. "It won't matter once I deal with you," she replies. The tension hangs thick in the air, the line between safety and danger becoming ever thinner.
