As we make our way through the streets of Kamino Ward, I get another message from the Gacha that bothers me.

'Spin it,' I command the Gacha as I continue after Momo.
[Spinning, spinning, spinning, done!]
[Psychic Paper]
|Common Item|
Doctor Who - A piece of psychic paper that causes those who look at it to see what they expect or want to see on the paper, such as identification papers, IDs, permits, etc. Does not work on exceptionally strong beings or geniuses that may notice the difference.
This would be useful. Nezu and I already have a plan for the worst-case scenario, but this would be another good backup. I have bigger things to worry about right now, though. Our little rescue group consisted of me, Momo, who had the tracker, Sasha, Ida, Izuku, and Shoto.
All of us were currently in disguises that were made even better when Sasha used the ColorS to change the colors around even more. It may not have been the best, but with the time we had left, it would have to do.
"Momo, how close are we?" She doesn't look back as she answers, "Two blocks." I keep moving forward as we get closer. Right now, the two teams of Pros should be getting ready to move.
One team is going after Tomura and the League at their bar, that's where they'll find Bakugo. The other team is in danger, however, since they're going right where we are, the Nomu facility.
Not only will this place be crawling with Nomu in various stages of completion and strength, All For One himself will be present. I have something to deal with him as well, despite my disgust for Lil' Nurgle; he might be useful in his own way.
That was for later, though. I still had to get these idiots to the Nomu facility so they could see how bad an idea this was. The stubborn fools had wanted to do everything they could to save Bakugo, well, mostly Izuku and Kirishima.
A few minutes later, we finally reached it. The Nomu facility was right before us, and behind a large chain-link fence. Momo put away her tracker as Shoto stepped forward. Using as little ice as he could, he froze a section of fence solid before Kirishima shattered it, giving us a way in.
As we sneak in, I take the lead as I look for a way in or a window to be able to peek into the building. Spotting a window, I signal the others to stay down and quiet as I go to investigate. As I get closer to the window, I can feel my physical attributes increase steadily as Desperation goes off.
'We need to be as far away from here as we can GET! AFO is going to come out at any moment and wreck the heroes; then he's coming for all of us!'
I pushed those thoughts away as I peeked through the window, and I saw them. Rows upon rows of incubation tanks that rose from the floor to the ceiling. The ones closest to me contained fully grown Nomu, their grotesque limbs obvious even in the dim light.
The further back I looked, the less developed they appeared, but they were no less dangerous. I really didn't like being here, so I backed away and returned to the others.
"We need to leave now!" I whispered, and immediately, Izuku and Kirishima shook their head. "No dude, that's not manly." "Do you know what else isn't manly? Dying to a swarm of Nomu that will tear us to pieces, this isn't where they're keeping Bakugo, it's where the Nomu are made!"
That seemed to wake them up, and they started making their way back towards the fence, "I just can't not try, though." I barely heard Izuku mumble, and without thinking, I tackled him to the ground.
"Let me go!" He cried out, but I slapped a hand over his mouth. "NO, now is not the time for you to be doing this. If we wake those things up, we will DIE. We don't have the power to kill them all.
Yes, Shoto and I could burn them all to a crisp, but they have a teleporter. What makes you think this is the only facility? Besides, we don't know who's in their keeping them safe while they grow, it could be HIM for all we know!"
Izuku froze, "You know?!" "I know more than I would like, and still not enough. Get up and move before something goes wrong!" Izuku finally got the message and started moving towards the others as I followed behind him.
Just as we got over the fence, something crashed on the other side of the building, and we watched the facility start to shake. "I told you!" I snap at Izuku as Mt. Lady becomes visible. I keep herding them away from the fence, but the fools wanted to stay and watch, so they would only go so far.
We watched as the heroes tore down an entire section of wall, crushing several tanks at the same time. From our vantage spot, I can see Gang Orca, Best Jeanist, and Mt. Lady. They spring into action and start capturing Nomu when Desperation suddenly spikes up to the limit.
'He's here.'
-----------
Best Jeanist wraps another layer of denim around the writhing creatures called Nomu, as he and the other heroes start to investigate the facility.
He notes in disgust the various incubation cylinders containing most of these hulking creatures, but something else draws his attention.
"Who's there? Show yourself!" He calls out into the darkness as the shadows move, and a mountain of a man emerges.
"It seems they actually sent someone useful this time. I expected more from the mutant or the giantess, but you've truly surprised me tonight, little man. If only you had a chance at surviving the coming storm."
Best Jeanist felt his skin prickle, and his instincts took over as he used his quirk to the max. Grabbing every hero he could by the costume and throwing them away from this monster in human flesh, right in time as the air itself exploded around them.
----------
Have you ever seen those videos where people are in a building, in a game, then someone comes along and deletes the building? Yeah, I just watched that happen in front of my very eyes.
I grab Izuku and Momo, who are the closest to me, and drag them down to the ground as All For One makes his presence known. Izuku and Momo try to get back up, but the boost from Desperation is at full power; they aren't getting up at all.
I keep them down as AFO starts to monologue, as all villains are required.
"I must say, it's quite disappointing what the HPSC has sent for me this time. Even before All Might, the kill teams your government assembled were quite an amusing challenge. That's all in the past, however, and here comes the future."
I heard the sound of wet splats and peeked over the barrier we'd hidden behind. It seems All For One has rescued the League and brought Bakugo as well. "Master? Why are you out? You should be recovering!" I heard Tomura yell.
"Don't worry about me, Tomura, though I appreciate the sentiment. I'm simply rising to meet the challenge of this new generation. Watch and learn as these little heroes fail once more."
Bakugo must have taken offense to that since he decided to speak up, "All Might's gonna kick your ass, just wait for it." AFO's chuckle seemed to echo within my chest for a few terrible moments.
"That old cripple? He's already failed once before. What makes you think he'll succeed now, weakened as he is?" Before Bakugo could respond, the air itself shook as another giant arrived.
"GET AWAY FROM HIM!" All Might was here.
