Chapter 91: Camping Trip Arc (6)

~Third POV~

[Day 3 6:00 AM, The Beast Forest, Wild Pussycat Office, Nagano, Japan]

"WHAT!!"

Everyone yelled out loud in shock with Ren opening portals with his [Wormhole] Quirk within the mess hall as King Vlad and the Wild, Wild Pussycats wore grim expressions learning of the news that their location had been blown.

King Vlad, with a stern expression, spoke up in serious addressing the students holding their belongings, mumbling to himself quietly, "You heard me right. The location of the Summer Training Camp has been blown and will have you students exited immediately into UA for the remainder of your Training Camp… unless they cancel because of this."

Hearing this, the first to speak up was Momo, who asked in a confused tone and a glint of fear in them, "What…! But King Vlad, how did the villains know of this I thought the staff made sure we wouldn't be found! And where is Aizawa-Sensei? Or our classmates Yuga Aoyama!"

Listening to her words of concern, King Vlad had a stern expression as Ren broke the ice in a neutral tone, staring at the shocked expressions of his classmates of the news, "Because within our class, we had a spy that was feeding intel to the League of Villains. The spy…"

He held his breath before exhaling in defeat, staring at the stunned students, "… was none other than our very classmate Yuga Aoyama. As of last night, Aizawa said that he had been expelled from the Hero Course."

Everyone in Class 1-A was stunned to hear the news. The first to break the news in a broken tone was Denki asking, "This makes no frickin' sense!! Why would he…"

Kirishima soon followed in denial of the news as Class 1-B remained silent, watching the drama unfold, "C'mon Ren!! Tell us it's all bullcrap, dude!! It can't be true that one of us would…"

However, Ren remained neutral as he exhaled, explaining in a blunt tone, with King Vlad confirming with a nod, "Sorry, but not this time, Kirishima. There's evidence stacked against Aoyama and a direct confession with his phone. It showed detailed info that should've been private. Even witnessing him releasing the information with Aizawa and King Vlad once I informed them of the traitor in our class."

The students reeled back as Momo caught on quickly she asked in a confused tone, "Wait, that would imply you knew… how long did you know there was a traitor amongst us…"

Hearing her question, Ren answered as he asked the question in return in a calm tone, his eyes looking sad, spinning his tale, "From the start of the USJ incident. Think back to that very day. There was no way at the time that the villains knew who to attack during the event, which led me to suspect a traitor amongst our ranks. Only a student could pull the USJ and Summer Trip off to tip the villains of our exact location."

They all looked down, contemplating as Ren continued explaining, feeding their doubts about Yuga in a sad tone, "The security in UA is too tight to be foiled by outside forces. Not to mention, the villains knew enough about the layout and coordinates of the school to appear exactly where they wanted at the fountain in the USJ. If they'd randomly teleported in, they'd have ended up anywhere on the vast campus of UA. But the key fact was they knew exactly where to appear with [Warp Gate] that is no coincidence. And as you all know, the [Warp Gate] Quirk needs coordinates to travel, and unless they got lucky, they must have been informed…"

Seeing his line of logic, the students of Class 1-A were conflicted about the news. Even Momo, the prodigy of their Class, didn't figure that out or notice Ida asking in a crestfallen tone, "Ren… if you knew, why didn't you ask any of us for this information…"

Ren sighed, placing his hand over his forehead and explaining in a neutral tone Ida's question, being honest, "I wasn't allowed to when I, Nezu, and All Might figure out who the traitor was. Giving away that information, then, there is a chance that some of you might unknowingly give it away, alerting the enemy before we are ready to apprehend them. That and well… giving that kind of sensitive info to angsty, emotional teenagers wasn't a sound idea on paper."

Ida opened his mouth to say something, but hearing it from a logical perspective, he ultimately closed his mouth, muttering and lowering his head, "Well, that's… okay, that's a reasonably fair point…"

Silence befalls the students even Neito, someone who agitates them to show a rare moment of concern and worry for Class 1-A hearing the news, one of them having a traitor in their ranks.

*CLAP*

Clapping his hands King Vlad brought the students out of their stupor in a stern tone and spoke getting their attention, "Attention! I know this is a lot on you in the morning but as a teacher of UA your safety is our priority. This would soon become a battlefield of heroes against villains and I would like all of you out of harm's way before shit hits the fan. You'll be evacuated to our dorm area where you'll continue your Summer Camp training in the new The Heights Alliance dormitories!"

Everyone nodded their heads filled with different thoughts about the ordeal occurring leaving through the portal. But to some, there was a sense of relief passing through them as they wouldn't participate in what was to come.

Once almost all the students entered, they only left with Ren staying, having the portal remaining open as figures soon came through a proud tone echoed through the Wild Pussycats Office, leaving them stunned seeing his figure, "Hahaha!! Have no fear for this time I am here!!"

All Might and backup arrived through the portal, and this time, they were prepared to capture the villains attempting the attack.

[UA Highschool, Heights Alliance, Musutafu, Japan]

*Swf*

Exiting through the portal after the assembled hero team deals with the villains Ren managed through the other end seeing The Heights Alliance with a stunned expression seeing the building.

The Heights Alliance dorms are located on U.A.'s main campus in Musutafu, Japan. There are dorm buildings for every U.A. class and each of them is just a five-minute walk from the main building.

The Heights Alliance dormitories are large buildings with five floors separated into two wings. Each building has its respective class name posted above a sign that reads 'Alliance'.

Each building is circled by low hedge bushes that leave a path open to the entrance. The entrance is comprised of two sets of double doors. Alongside the pathway are two park benches and two towers with lights on them.

The first level of the building is white, while the upper levels are colored brown on the outside. There's a courtyard outside the first level as well.

Upon meeting, the building in front of them was Nezu, Lady Nagant, and Power Loader, with the principal speaking up in an upbeat tone, "Welcome, students! I'm glad to see you lot are safe!"

Everyone simply nodded, losing the enthusiasm and understanding they had a lot in their minds processing everything. Nezu, noticing them, spoke in a neutral tone, gaining some attention from him, "Students, I know you all have some doubts you wish to clear up or some time alone. Lady Nagant and Power Loader will show you around till the situation with the villains is handled till then, use this free time to adjust to the dorms you'll be using when class starts again. Use today to clear up some thoughts you have."

They all nodded as everyone began to check inside the interior design of each dorm building to hold one class of twenty students, though it could house as many as thirty-two. The first floor is a common area with couches, tables, televisions, kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms.

Dorm rooms begin on the second floor and end on the fifth floor; each floor has eight rooms in total, four rooms per gender. Males are assigned to the left wing, and females are assigned to the right wing. Every student gets their room equipped with air conditioning, toilets, beds, fridges, closets, and a balcony.

With them being introduced, Ren remained behind with Power Loader and Lady Nagant explaining and examining the students. Once alone and far enough distance, Nezu spoke to him in a neutral tone, "I take it they didn't take the news of their former student Yuga Aoyama being traitor nicely."

Ren merely scoffed as they walked around the UA campus to continue their conversation in a neutral tone, "No kidding, what gave that away? But to be honest, they're processing the info and reacted quite defensively to the news."

Nezu chuckled, showing his moment of disregard for humans in a neutral tone as they continued to walk, "Hahaha… I suppose that's just in their human nature to be such social creatures. Just as I have my disdain for humans, you have your disdain for our unstable society of heroes and villains."

Ren chuckled as Nezu understood his character to a degree, being honest with the talking animal walking next to him, "On that, we can agree. There are just some things we can't stand but decide to live with, right? Need the info of what villains the heroes will be encountering?"

Bringing up the topic, Nezu nodded his head, informing Ren, needing his abilities to gather information in a neutral tone, "That [Observe] skill never ceases to amaze me in gathering information. I'll have a drone watch over everything and send you the video for you to see if you can gather any information we can get."

Ren nodded his head, accepting his request as Nezu sighed, pinching his fingers in between the bridge of his nose, "Sigh… I hope with this, we might find a lead where the League of Villains is located. At the very least, you won't go off to handle this situation like the previous times and let us adults take care of this."

Ren rolled his eyes but did relent to the fact that he could take over the situation during the USJ, Hosu Incident, and I-Island Incident on those occasions. He sighed as his eyes drifted to the dorms, muttering in a tired tone, "Sigh… As much as gaining EXP would help me, my classmates need me more after the abrupt traitor reveal. I'm just giving them some space to think and process what happened."

Nezu nodded his head as he continued walking along with Ren in a comforting tone, assuring his student concerns, "I agree. I'll send Hound Dog to help them. He has a good PhD in psychology, helping people in these trying times. He even helped with Lady Nagant's mental issues."

Ren looked impressed as he nodded to the idea that his class might be needing therapy in a calmer tone, "Yeah… he can truly do his work wonders. Although, can he do something about Bakugo's anger issues or Shoto's daddy issue?"

Nezu laughed heartily at the news of his classmate's issues, wiping a tear from his face in a happy tone, "Hahahaha!!! Now that right there is funny, Ren Yuki. But with how good Hound Dog is, he's not a miracle worker, so don't count on those chances."

Ren clicked his teeth, hearing that it was almost too good for it to be true… But soon, Nezu asked about the subject of his party system, gaining his attention, "But we're getting off-topic. Are you going to reveal your party system to your classmates and Class 1-B?"

Upon hearing this, they continued walking around the campus as Ren gave his definitive answer in a serious tone, "Yup! It would be stupid not to at this stage. The villains will no doubt come after the students at the very least, they won't know their sudden increase in power and… I want them to be safe."

Nezu nodded his head, listening to the voice of Ren's concern. He smiled lightly, seeing the boy opening up to him, allowing him to use his Party System to help his classmates get the green light.

[Nighttime, The Beast Forest, Wild Pussycat Office, Nagano, Japan]

Meanwhile, the villain's group sent ahead Muscular, Moonfish, and Mustard forward to the building in the dead of night. Dabi and the remaining villains remained on watch with binoculars, sensing something afoot deciding to send the wild cards first as pawns wanting to start up violence.

Approaching the Wild, Wild Pussycat Office Muscular grinned happily, dropping his disguise and grinning sadistically rushing towards the office, "Heheheh!! Finally, time to draw some blood on these brats!! Show me your blood!!"

*Bulge*

*Bulge*

Muscular Quirk [Muscle Augmentation] allows him to amplify significantly and manipulate his muscle layers, reaching a point where they can't be contained by his skin. With his enhanced muscles he slammed through the door.

*DOM*

Bursting through he barged in expecting students greedily with a maddening sadistic grin and yelled out loud, "Come out, come out here's – ACK!!!"

"[NEBRASKA SMASH]!!!"

*SWOOOOSH*

*BAM*

Out of nowhere, smashing Muscular destroying his artificial eye, revealed to be a pissed-off All Might slamming Muscular into the ground. While throwing a punch, All Might rotates his arm to generate a small but powerful tornado from his fist, capable of sucking in multiple enemies.

Those unfortunate opponents happened to be Moonfish and Mustard, being sucked inside the tornado All Might produce being sent flying. Dabi's eyes widened in disbelief, seeing All Might appear, sending a Nomu as he called his retreat.

Being thrown to the ground, Muscular eyes widened in shock, seeing All Might appear striding forward with Aizawa, King Vlad, and the Wild Wild Pussycats. Revealing the heroes, Mustard got up in a frightened tone, unaware of a drone videotaping everything occurring from the sky, "What the hell…?! This wasn't what our intel said about All Might being here?!!"

Moonfish was knocked out with his teeth all broken, and Muscular was about to escape seeing All Might. But soon, Aizawa stopped them in their tracks in an annoyed tone, "Oh no, you don't. You, lot I know. Muscular A Rank, Mustard C Rank, and Moonfish B Rank villains. Where are your allies?"

*Rmbl*

Pixie-Bob, using her [Earth Flow] Quirk, began to capture them in place tightly, squinting her eyes at Muscular with evident disdain. Muscular noticed but said nothing, his eyes focusing on All Might as he spoke in a threatening tone, "Muscular, I've heard what you've done. You won't be escaping my grasp – "

"ROOOOAR!!!!"

*RMBL*

That was when the Nomu, acting as the villain's 10th member, appeared, gaining all attention directed to it. This Nomu has a very large, muscular build like the first, but with mint green skin. He wears black trousers ripped just above his kneecaps and a brown belt.

Like the previous Nomu, his brain is exposed, but most of it is protected by a shiny, purple helmet with two red visors and a metal gag. The most defining feature about him is the six retractable arms that protrude from his back, each having a construction tool coming out of it.

The rumbling drew all attention to it as the Nomu (Chainsaw) rushed forward after Eraser Head with its chainsaws. The resulting rush forward caused a burst of wind directed toward Eraser Head, forcing him to blink, allowing the villains to regain their Quirks.

Apart from Mustard and Moonfish being trapped within their rocky cage. Mustard began to use his [Gas] Quirk to hide, struggling to get out, asking Muscular to escape, "Hey Muscular, help me out of this!!"

*BOOOM*

Escaping free from his cage, Muscular knew being captured was immediate, so he decided to go after the Wild, Wild Pussycats with a feral grin, ignoring his ally's cries for help, "IF I'M GOING DOWN THEN I'M TAKING YOU WITH ME!!!"

Eyes widened as he went past Pixie-Bob, going after Mandalay with concern. In a bust of wind sucking the gas that Mustard created…

"[OKLAHOMA SMASH]!!!"

*SWOOOOSH*

*SMASH*

*BOOOOOOM*

Rushing in front of Muscular All Might rotates his own body at such speeds that anyone holding on to him will be sent flying. He starts this move by spinning around and creating a vortex until his opponents can no longer hold on. Then, the targets are sent flying with enough force.

He used this move, smashing Muscular and Nomu (Chainsaw) out of the way while removing the poisonous gas, making Mustard look down, defeated, and unable to escape from the Heroes.

Smashing them against the ground, both ricocheted, making skips from the force behind All Might's power. However, Muscular tries to get away as his muscle bulges preparing his escape in a neutral tone, 'Damn it…!!! No one said All Might was fucking here! I must get away and return to – '

*Buldge*

*RMBL*

Just as Muscular was bulging his muscles to escape in the direction away from the heroes, All Might suddenly slammed in front of him with a smile on his face. Reeling his fist, he spoke in a determined tone, "You think I would allow you villain a means to escape after your crimes? Not today! Going after those students today will be your final mistake!! [DETROIT SMASH]!!!"

*SWOOOOOSH*

*SMASH*

All Might activated his [OFA] and delivered a straightforward lunging punch at his opponent, causing Muscular muscle fibers to be destroyed as they were torn by the sheer airforce behind All Might's punch. The resulting hit sent Muscular flying straight into the mountain side fainting from the power of All Might.

*Rmbl*

Soon the Nomu (Chainsaw) rushes forward to deal an attack against All Might as he spoke unmoving knew where the villain would attack from, "I didn't forget about you. Thinking you can get me from behind how cheeky of you. [New Hampshire Smash]!!"

*BOOOM*

*SWOOOOSH*

All Might punches the air while on the ground to propel himself backward towards his enemy and smashes his body into the enemy, crushing and injuring the enemy with his great weight. At that moment, All Might kicked the Nomu down to the ground and began to finish him off with a determined roar, "[California Smash]!!!"

*SWOOOOSH*

*SMASH*

Whilst in mid-air, All Might spun into a frontal somersault to gather momentum before punching a villain overhead with a single fist and sending them spiraling downwards. The Nomu (Chainsaw) head caved into itself from the force of All Might's [California Smash], resulting in a crater underneath in the aftermath of the attack.

*THUD*

Landing down, standing tall, and defeating the villains, his eyes catch the area where Muscular is facing with a light glare commanding Eraser Head, King Vlad, and the Wild, Wild Pussycats, "Everyone takes care of detaining the villains I'll check to see where the rest of these villains are hiding!!"

*BRRR*

But in that moment, all eyes were on the forest. The brilliant blue fire erupted, causing a great forest fire and alarming the heroes.

*ZOOOOM*

Giving no time to respond, All Might lunged up into the air with his superhuman strength; his eyes glimpsed at the raging inferno of the forest fire occurring. But he eyes the villains only briefly as a black goo substance wraps around them before vanishing as he is high in the air.

All Might gritted his teeth but soon turned into a grin as he thought in a serious tone, 'Damn it!!! Those villains managed to get away, but… with my student informing us, we might have hope of gaining some valuable intel…'

Eventually, the news of this incident will be known as only out of the ten villains that attacked the Hero Camp, only four were captured, as the remaining six managed to escape before All Might managed to get them. Eventually, the firefighters and Water-Based Heroes arrived at the scene.

However, it effectively worked in spreading the infamous League of Villains agenda, showing UA was scared to send their strongest after them. This gave them the credit needed to damage the hero's reputation by targeting the students of UA.

But at the same time, Ren was shown the video of the events from a hidden drone, capturing the events using his [Observe] skill and a bit of his meta-knowledge to convince Nezu while he revealed the League of Villains location and the warehouse containing the Nomu in Japan…
