Chapter 30 : Sabotage

Aoyama saw Midoriya willingly get captured by the league. He hid back behind his bush as the villain turned around. Once the villain was gone he tried to go back to the camp wondering why Midoriya mouthed that it was part of the plan but luck seemed to have abandoned him as he found himself once again hiding near the villain's meeting spot.

"You got the kid."

"Of course."

"Good."

Shigaraki takes out a radio.

"Package secure. We're getting out of here."

Suddenly Compress and Shigaraki spat out black sludge and disappeared into the air.

---

The vanguard action squad appeared back into the bar coughing out the remaining sludge out of their throats.

"Man that does not get easier."

"Tell me about it. I didn't sign up to be filled with sludge."

"Shut up all of you. Show me our prisoner."

Compress takes out a blue marble and taps on it twice. Midoriya pops right out asleep on the floor.

"You've done well Tomura. Bring the boy to the doctor."

A nomu picked Midoriya up and warped with him to meet Doctor Garaki. Midoriya was placed on an examination table as the doctor took a look at his body. The doctor was holding Izuku's arms when suddenly he was grabbed. 

"Quiet."

The doctor's eyes cloud over. 

"Tell me where is All for One."

The doctor remains silent confusing Midoriya.

"Write down the location of your master All for One." 

The doctor cuts his own finger and writes it down in blood on the examination table. Memorizing it he makes another command. 

"Show me how you get to All for One." 

The doctor claps three times and a small nomu with two legs in sneakers walks up to him. It had a copy of the warping quirk All for One had. Midoriya grabs it and crushes it while taking its quirk. Another nomu also follows it. It looked like a small Pac-man cat thing. It had the quirk double which was also taken. 

[Warping taken] 

[Double taken] 

"Lead me to your strongest nomus." 

The doctor leads him past a bunch of pods containing the weaker nomus. They had a bunch of quirks he already had so he took their quirk and destroyed all the nomu by spreading his tendrils around. 

[Tool arms taken] 

[Signal Jammer taken] 

[Gecko taken] 

[Body Bulk taken]

[Super Regeneration taken x 15]

[Shock Absorption taken x 3]

[Strength Enhancer taken x 57]

[Speed Enhancer taken x 60]

The doctor then leads him into a room with twelve pods. Midoriya promptly takes their quirks and destroys them. 

[Power taken] 

[Shoulder-Mounted Jets taken] 

[Super Regeneration taken x 12] 

[Muscle Augmentation taken x 5]

'Radio waves? Why would they need that? Unless...' 

Midoriya uses the quirk to command one of the nomu to teleport in front of him. A black ooze appears in front of him. He tells it to jump and it does so. Now knowing that this was how the nomu were controlled he took the nomu's quirk and destroyed it with an impure beam. 

[All for One taken] 

Midoriya walks back to the examination room and suddenly the TV comes on. 

"Doctor are the samples collected?"

Midoriya thinking quickly shoves a tendril down the doctors throat gets a mold of his vocal cords and copies their shape. 

"Yes Master but it will take a while to get any results."

"Good. Send the boy back with Tomura. He may see reason yet."

"Yes, Master."

The TV turns off. Midoriya waits a few minutes before he speaks to be sure he was not listening in. 

"You will dream and believe that you have a sample of my flesh to study. You will find great results that are unknown to you and are unuseable in your research. You will stay asleep for the next few days. Nothing will wake you up during that time."

The doctor fell unconscious and Midoriya got onto the doctor's computer and used hacking to transfer all the files onto Nezu's spare system. Before he left he implanted a small piece of himself in the doctor's frontal lobe. Once that is done he gets into position and warps back into the bar falling on the couch faking unconsciousness. He was carried to a different room. 

"Hey, Midoriya you can get up now."

Midoriya opens his eyes to the entirety of the vanguard action squad though Muscular was missing. 

"So what did I the doctor do?"

"Nothing at all. I was able to destroy all the nomu in the lab and I got the system transferred to someone I trust."

"What about the doctor? Wouldn't he blow our cover?"

"He will be asleep for the next few days. If anything goes wrong then I have a little surprise that will blow his mind."

"So what do we do now?"

"We wait until the heroes show up." 

"... You play poker?"

Midoriya spent the next few hours hanging out in the bar. Shimura was more than content to watch the TV. Spinner, Compress, Twice, Magne, Dabi, Toga, and Midoriya were sitting around the table playing poker. Toga had been trying and failing to stab Midoriya to try and see his 'beautiful blood' but Midoriya ignored it and kept playing. 

[Chameleon Skin adapted] 

[Potency increased : Quirk Factor Mimicry] 

"Hey, Midoriya you should check out the news."

On the TV was Nezu's along with Aizawa and Vlad King who were having a press conference. They apologised for failing to protect the students. 

"How can we trust that an incident like this will not happen again? You've already made promises during the last conference what makes you confident you will be able to deliver now?" 

"Unfortunately I am unable to provide full details of the efforts we are making as it endangers our student but on my name, we are doing what we can to ensure that an incident like this will not happen again."

"There were reports that the students were allowed to participate in the subduing of villain but this has directly resulted in the capture of one of your students. Any comments." 

Aizawa answers. 

"I had given them permission on the assumption that the situation could have been handled by them and to allow them to better escape the villains, and to avoid the worst-case scenario of a fatality."

"With the capture of Invincible, how can we be sure that the villains will not use him to attack the public? We do not know what they are capable of and seeing the monsters used during the assault the public fears that he will turn on us."

Nezu's responds. 

"The heroes and police are currently doing everything they can to locate the kidnapped student. Personally, I think that had made a big mistake in choosing Invincible to be taken." 

*Knock, knock*

"Pizza delivery." 

"Oh the pizza is here/ we didn't order pizza." 

The door bursted open and branches came out of the smoke and restrained the villains leaving Midoriya alone. 

"You Are Fine Now. Why? Cause I Am Here. Midoriya I hope they didn't do anything to you."

"Oh I'm fine but Tenko and the others have been great the hang out with." 

"What the hell are you talking about kid?" 

"You'll find out later. All Might get to Kamino ward as fast as possible. He is there and he will put lives in danger."

All Might burst out of the ceiling into the sky and flew away with a shockwave. 

"Let's get you home."

"Don't bother he will pick us up so-" 

Black sludge came out of his mouth along with the other members of the vanguard action squad teleporting away to the surprise of the heroes. Before they left nomu began to appear in the bar.
