(Deku's POV)

I was bored. 

There was literally nothing to do - when can I show Kacchan that I am the one to be feared now? Alpha sensed my impatience and said, "Deku - the time will come today."

"I know but when?" I asked. 

She shrugged. "Probably once he escapes wherever the hell Kurogiri put him. I read about his Quirk; it shouldn't be too hard for him to get out unless his all brawn and no brains."

I nod. 

"And now we wait."

(Alpha's POV)

Some time had passed. Eraserhead managed to beat most of the rookie villains. That left him in battle with Shigaraki. As the two of them sparred, I noticed the max duration of the hero's attacks getting shorter and shorter, and I'm sure Shigaraki noticed too. I couldn't hear what the two were saying to each other; all I knew what that there was this one interaction they had where Shigaraki managed to use his Quirk on him, resulting in a crumbling elbow for his opponent. 

Eraserhead jumped and as Shigaraki said, "By the way, hero, I'm not the boss here." the creature he calls Nomu sneaks up behind Eraserhead, before viciously slamming him to the ground. 

"Ouch, that must've hurt," I grimaced, seeing the state the man was in. 

Shigaraki laughed and said, "Meet the Anti-Symbol of Peace. The bio-engineered Nomu." 

Deku and I watched with horrified eyes as the Nomu mercilessly snapped the heroes arms and... yeah... Shigaraki saw the looks on our faces and he said, "Don't worry, I'm not going to kill him, I'm just getting him out of the way." 

Then Kurogiri appeared next to us. "Well, is Thirteen dead?" Shigaraki asked casually. 

"He's incapacitated, but there were some students I couldn't warp away and one of them... escaped..." Kurogiri states. 

Deku groaned, "Now we can't have any fun."

Shigaraki looked annoyed. "Kurogiri, I'd turn you to dust if you weren't our ticket out of here. We won't stand a chance against dozens of pros. It's game over... for now." He turned around started heading back to where we came from, "We're leaving."

"Aw, but Alpha and I didn't get to have any real fun yet," Deku whines. 

"Shut up, at least we won't get arrested you big moron!" I snap at him, impatient that he didn't understand. 

"But first," Shigaraki interrupts are argument, looking at two hero wannabes staring with  shocked expressions. "Let's leave a few dead kids to wound the pride of the Symbol of Peace. Deku, you want to do the honors?"

Deku unsheathes his prized knife, "It isn't Kacchan, but it's good enough." Then he leaps towards the two of them, a frog-like looking girl and a boy with... purple balls as hair? UA really does have some funny looking students. The frog girl leaps out of the way in time, grabbing her classmate with a very long tongue, and that was when I remembered reading about her Quirk; Frog, which basically gave her frog-like abilities. I noticed that she was jumping backwards in a defensive manner, and behind her was probably where she got dumped to: the shipwreck area. Damn Kurogiri, you idiot, no wonder she escaped the villains planted there. 

No matter how skilled Deku is with his close combat skills, he doesn't stand a chance against her if she's in the area where she's the strongest. Make sure she doesn't get into the water... what is a frog's weakness?

I followed the two of them, well actually three if you count the grape-looking boy, who was screaming like a damn coward. They were nearing that place fast - I quickly ran to the water and froze it entirely with my right side, chilling the area instantly. She started looking kind of drowsy, so she really is like a frog huh? Lower the temperature even more and she'll go into hibernation mode.

I placed a foot onto the ice and chilled it even further, feeling my body temperature on my right side especially plummet. Crap. If I didn't use my fire side soon, I'll freeze entirely. I turned on the mini heater that was installed inside my costume; which looks like a normal hoodie on the outside, but on the inside are things that'll help regulate my body temperature in case I could only use one side.

Deku noticed me and gave a nod of appreciation, before raising his knife to stab the sleeping girl. "Nononononononono, don't! I have too much to life for!" the grape boy screamed, trying to flee. He had gotten himself unwrapped from the frog girl's tongue and was trying to run on the ice. Deku laughed, "And what kind of cowardly hero are you?" and I created a wall of ice that prevented from him going anywhere. I glanced down at my hand and noticed the frost that was on it, warning me of what was to come if I didn't use my left side. The heater couldn't keep up with the amount of ice I was producing. 

"Nononononono please LET ME GO! I don't wanna die today!" the boy cried again, his eyes had found me and they begging for mercy. 

"He's annoying. Kill him," I said simply. The boy's eyes widened in shock. "A-a girl? You're a g-girl?" he yelped. 

I took off my hood and he watched with wide eyes as my dual colored hair unraveled to my mid-back. "Yes," I said, dead calm. "I am a girl. You have a problem with that?" 

He let out a scream of pure terror, "WOMAN REALLY ARE EVIL! THEY ARE PRETTY ON THE OUTSIDE BUT TRUE DEMONS WITHIN!" But the look in his eyes told me that he was a pervert. 

"Kill him, he's a fucking perv," I ordered. Deku nodded and threw his knife with such accuracy. I trapped the boy in ice so that he couldn't run, although that made my body scream from the cold. The knife pinned the boy's shirt to the ice. "Y-you missed," the boy said, through chattering teeth. 

"I didn't. I meant to throw it there so that Alpha doesn't have to create any more ice," Deku responded coolly, walking over to where I was. Then he hissed in my ear, "Go back to the plaza and warm up, you're shivering. I'll handle the rest." And I realized my body was shivering violently from the cold; the heater really couldn't keep up. 

I shrugged. "Alright, if you insist."

But before anyone could go anywhere, the front doors burst open and a loud booming voice said, 

"FEAR NOT, I AM HERE!"

"All Might!" the trapped boy said, looking relieved. 

"C'mon, let's go back. He's not worth our time," I said, grabbing Deku's arm. "Besides, I don't know what you want to take credit for, but I'd rather take credit for the murder of All Might rather than the murder of a pervy boy."
