"Good evening ladies and gentlemen...do not fear I am not here to declare world denomination or genocide. I am here to tell you all what you deserve to know what you all have been yearning to know...the truth." The crowds that had started to form stared longingly at this powerful looking man on the screen.

"Heroes and Villains I am sure you are all familiar with the terms, no? Villains are the bad guys, who only live for evil and making things difficult for everyone and the Heroes are the good guys who risk their lives, to save someone no matter the cost. But... I'm sure as you have all noticed that isn't how it works. Heroes don't save people or stop 'bad guys' because it's good, and they want to protect innocents... No all they care about the fat pay check they get at the end of the day." Crowds started to murmur in either agreement or denial.

But a young girl in the crowd with ivory hair started to tweak their emotions and thoughts bit by bit, so they would succumb to his words quicker.

"You know it's true, I'm sure you have all seen or heard about it, Heroes refusing to save someone because there weren't any reporters nearby or compensation was not promised. It is disgusting. The values that the Heroes used to hold so dear have been corrupted by their own greed and envy. Look at this, this is not who I want to protect me!"

Pictures of Heroes doing unspeakable and down right horrid things flashed across the screen. The people started to feel an unbelievably large wave of rage and disgust over take them while the Heroes just felt dread and fear.

"The worst part is, is that they don't get punished for their crimes. They don't pay for the destruction they cause. Whether it be a speeding ticket or charges for assault or murder, they slide through, untouched. It's not right at all! These Heroes aren't gods so why must we treat them as so! They are human just like the rest of us." Lucifer's breath hitched, and he looked up into the camera, his fiery gaze clawed into the souls and minds of those who were watching.

The hooded girl was sweating buckets as she manipulated the people's thoughts and emotions. That was over a thousand people, it was a miracle she hadn't fainted yet.

"I speak the truth and only the truth, it is time things changed and the Heroes aren't doing anything about and neither is our government. So friends I implore you, please take action before it is too late. Together we can change the world for the better!" He yelled out passionately, a gold shimmer appearing around him.

The crowd was convinced.

It was time something changed, for better or worse, the Heroes would no longer have any power over them!

Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.

Kirishima looked over at his unconscious boyfriend in the hospital bed. The incessant beeping accompanied his worried thoughts.

It had only been about an hour since the international announcement was made by the mysterious man/villain but a lot can happen in an hour. People were...moved by the stranger's words. In desperate times it's not the strong and brawny who survive, it's the smart and witty and the mystery man is the smartest of them all and good with words to.

Kirishima also started to doubt the system that he had grown up with and the way he originally wanted to live.

He wanted to be Hero because Mina wanted to be one, and he wanted to prove to himself that he wasn't a pathetic wimp anymore and never once did having to save people, being a real hero, cross his mind. He felt so unmanly for thinking like that.

And if he was swayed by Lucifer's words, how do you think Todoroki, Iida and Shinso were taking it.

Not very well.

Kirishima rocked back and forth on his chair, recalling the events of the night. After that mysterious and shadowy man left Bakugo with them, they unfortunately didn't heed his warning and stayed behind a bit too long. All Might and all the other Heroes were thrown out of the building by a single man in a black suit.

They watched as the Heroes dropped like flies until only All Might was left. He and the dangerous looking man grappled against each other, they were on par with their abilities. When the ground started to shake, their instincts kicked in and they scurried away like cowards. Kirishima had stolen a glance behind his shoulder and now he wished he hadn't. All Might, bloodied and broken was punched into the air yet again and landed with a sickening crack and a puff of a smoke.

All for One had let out a disappointed sigh before propping All Might into the recovery position before leaving. His job was to weaken All Might and to destroy the world's phony symbol of peace, to ruin the image of the government's favourite puppet. He had collected enough of his memories to do so to. So it was time he took his leave.

I was impatiently rocking myself back and forth on my favourite bar stool, while Kurogiri cleaned shot glasses and Tomura and Dabi played an old videogame known as Tekkon 5.

I was waiting for Toga to bring back my laptop from the dorms.

Why is she getting it for me? Well I can't exactly go back to UA as the Heroes know that I am a villain and have some sort of relation to not only to One for All but Lucifer, the King of Crimals, the pillar of change, as well. So I'm kinda a high target now and the security system would go haywire if it sensed me within a few metres of the school!

So Toga was making good use of the vials of blood that I gave to her on her birthday three months ago. She was Hyperion Gold's niece at the moment and was bringing her 'uncle' some lunch. (Hyperion Gold was our Science and Geography teacher.)

And if my predictions are correct the Principal will make the announcement about me being a villain and the traitor to all the staff in a day or two and Bakugou will wake up and tell the teachers and police what happened and after that happens the school's security will tighten and everyone will be on high alert so breaking in will be impossible.

Which is why the final stage of my plan will come into play in the following 24 hours.

It will be the moment I've been waiting for since the beginning!
