Out of the clouds of blackness, nearly masked by the darkness of the night, walked the villains with murderous intent. A host of previously unseen foes approach from the fog, revealing that the League is vast. The students and their teachers huddled in the middle, hoping to stand against the invading threat.

"We've got orders to destroy the kids who got in our way last time. Give them up and the struggle will be minimal," announced the scaly green-skinned walking reptile, "We've got attackers all over this forest, and I can call them off if we get what we want quickly!"

"You want us, huh, you bastard?!" A harsh voice called out from the crowd before one body was launched into the air, preceding an explosive landing in front of the villain. An angry-looking yet smirking young blonde teen was revealed to be the source of the call, "And if we don't come along?" Bakugo asked with his arrogant smile, as he took one step closer to the villain.

"We'll kill everyone here, boy!" The gecko-like man shouted, reaching for his sword. He wasn't able to unsheath it, as he was cut off by an explosion, blowing him back into a nearby tree.

"Oh yeah? What if I kill all of you first?" The sandy-haired kid taunts as he cracks his knuckles and stretched his shoulders. "Wouldn't it be embarrassing to be killed by a kid?" Once again mocking the villains, he wants all attention drawn to himself. The gecko, Spinner, gets up quickly and lunges at Bakugo with his bundle of blades. Lord Explosion Murder (name pending approval) easily dodges with a blast to his right, propelling him out of the way of danger. The dodge was quickly followed by a counter-attack consisting of a kick to the knee and another explosion to the chest, launching the lizard away again. "Don't you know what you walked into, you damn idiots?! Some of the deadliest people in the country just spent 3 months training tirelessly, and they are itching for a chance to try out their new power!" Bakugo is back at it again with the vicious taunting, attempting to intimidate the villains into leaving or at least give the classmates a chance to escape. "Now, which one of you pussies is next?!" He exclaimed arms open, welcoming the challengers.

As several villains charge Bakugo, Todoroki creates a glacier in the empty space murderous bodies previously filled, then quickly burning a tunnel through the base so that the class could escape unharmed. Tiger and Vlad King were the first through, followed by Kirishima and Tetsutetsu so that there would be strength and a shield at the front of the pack. The rest of the students and teachers took the open escape route, but Todoroki and Eraser Head stayed back to fight alongside Bakugo.

"Icy hot?! Why didn't you run!?" The battling teen exclaimed, clearly enjoying the chance to go all out the fight. The boy understood why Eraser Head didn't go, he couldn't leave a student alone with villains, let alone a large group of them from the League.

"I couldn't leave you alone with all these villains, Bakugo!" The split-haired teen replied while freezing two charging villains, then immediately turned and shooting fire towards an attacker nearing Eraser Head's blind spot.

The trio of heroes slowly chipped away at the group of villains that revealed themselves at the start of the invasion. Little did they know, many more frightening terrors wait in the dark forest all around.

The group of students who escaped is halted by the appearance of a familiar face. Or rather, a familiar black cloud.

"Hello U.A., I take it you already met my acquaintances. It's a shame you didn't stick around with them longer. But you will not be escaping them that easily," Kurogiri proclaimed as he expanded his body, surrounding the students, "I wish you the best of luck in dealing with the rest. They can get quite feisty when they haven't been let out in a while," finally closing his grip on everyone, transporting them in small groups all around the camp. Unbeknownst to the students and teachers, there is a wall of toxic gas surrounding the forest, keeping everyone in.
