"This is Kurata Noriko here with news at 20! Coming up is an interview with Gang Orca and his surprising companion! We'll see you after the break!"

All Might is too late to stop the Sludge Villain the second time, leading Izuku Midoriya to die in his childhood friend's arms. Good thing for the League of Villains. A fresh Quirkless body is exactly what they need for their new round of Quirk replication experiments. After all, why have one warper when you can have two?

Sequel to Silent Shadow. Izuku Midoriya is beginning to remember who he once was, but those memories come with a price. The League of Villains won't let him go if they find out. He doesn't want to abandon his teacher either. It's hard to be a villain when you want to be a hero, however. Katsuki Bakugou isn't about to let Deku die a second time. He's going to pull out all the stops to get that idiot home. Thankfully, he has some help.
