(Oh, very well... let's get this party started.)
Eraser Head launched himself towards the minor villains, fighting them toe-to-toe. And, to be honest, he seemed to have the upper hand.
(Those are minor villains... I don't think he can win against Shigaraki or Nomu...)
Mato walked next to Shigaraki.
"I hate pro heroes," said Shigaraki, "the masses don't stand a chance against them."
Alongside Thirteen, the students were starting to leave the room, but with his Quirk, Kurogiri blocked their path.
"Nice to meet you," he said, "we are the League of Villains. It may be presumptuous of us, but we have invited ourselves into the home of the heroes, U. A. High School, to have All Might take his last breath."
Shortly after, Mato leapt beside Kurogiri.
Without hesitating, two boys launched themselves towards him.
One of them had spiky, blond hair and had gloves. The other one was Eijiro Kirishima, the one Mato had met yesterday.
"Did you consider that you'd get beaten by us before you did it?" Kirishima asked.
"Mato doesn't talk," said Kurogiri, "so don't ask him anything."
(Maybe, since my Quirk is similar to Kurogiri's, I can mask my darkness with his!)
Mato raised two fingers in the air, and two shadows came out of the floor, aiming to hit Kirishima and the blond boy in the face.
Fortunately, the two of them dodged.
"Even if you are students, you are excellent golden eggs," said Kurogiri. Then, using his Quirk, he trapped the students in the shadows, warping them away.
"Mato, you know what to do," said Kurogiri. Mato adjusted his mask and nodded.

Outside the school, there was a man running towards it. He had straight, long blue hair, brown eyes, and an 'O' on the front of his costume.
Oro, #3 National Hero.
"Villains are in the school, huh?" he said, "Well, I may not work in that school, but if it needs help, I'll hurry up immediately! Plus, All Might should be there too, so no problem!"
While running, Oro bumped into a random villain.
"Okay, one sec."
Oro trapped the villain in light webs and smashed him to the ground.
"Okay, done. Sorry about that, but even if I have something to do, I can't let a villain do whatever they want if I notice them."
After defeating the villain as easily as the sea sweeps away a grain of sand, Oro
continued to run.
(Eraser, everyone inside that school... hold on, I'm coming!)
__________
Inside the school, Izuku had just escaped a villain after he got warped inside a pool. Alongside him, there were Minoru Mineta, a short guy with purple, circle-like hair, and Tsuyu Asui, a girl with a frog-like tongue, green hair, and giggle eyes. The three of them were on a boat, circled by sharks.
"We should be safe here," said Mineta. Suddenly, though, someone leapt on the boat. Izuku turned and saw the villain with the rabbit mask.
"You're Mato, right?" he asked, his voice shaking from fear. Mato nodded.
The villain looked out of the boat and motioned the shark villains to move away, as if to say, "I'm enough here."
(I have no choice,) thought Izuku, (I have to fight him.)
Izuku launched himself towards Mato, but the villain was ready and dodged, kicking Izuku away. The boy with freckles hit the floor.
"Midoriya!" exclaimed Mineta.
(This guy... is strong...) thought Izuku, getting up.
(C'mon, use your Quirk...) thought Mato, smiling under his mask, (let's see if your Quirk really is the same as All Might's...)
"Mineta, Asui, help me fight this guy!" said Izuku.
"Fighting? Are you serious?" repeated Mineta, "these guys might kill All Might, and this one, specifically, looks like one of the toughest!"
Before Mineta could even start to cry, Mato rushed towards him and delivered an uppercut to Mineta's jaw.
(Please, just shut up...)
Mineta almost flew away from the boat, if it wasn't for Asui grabbing him with her tongue.
"Midoriya, let's go away!" said the girl.
(Like I won't follow you wherever you go...!)
(If my suppositions are true, these villains don't know what our Quirks are,) thought Izuku, (I have to use my brain!)
"Hey, villain!"
Mato, still looking at Tsuyu and Mineta, turned to face Izuku, but all he managed to see were the boy's knuckles smashing on his face. Mato flew outside the boat and sank in the water.
(Dammit, I lowered my guard... I made an unforgivable mistake...)
Angry, Mato summoned a bow made of darkness and shot an arrow, aiming to destroy the boat. And actually, he managed to.
(Fine, I have to reach the surface now...)
With a gesture of his hand, Mato called a shark villain, who helped him reach the surface. When the boy took a look at the boat, he noticed the three guys weren't there anymore.
(As expected, they got away...)
But then, when Mato least expected it, Izuku fell from the sky.
(What the...)
"Take this, goddammed villain! Delaware Smash!"
SMASH!
By using only the force of his finger, Izuku hit Mato with a powerful blow, almost sending him sinking back in the water.
"Tsuyu!" Izuku exclaimed. The girl grabbed him with her tongue and dragged him away.
Mato massaged his forehead.
(Thank God, this mask is made of titanium and is not easy to destroy... Delaware Smash, he said? This raises the probability of him having the same Quirk as All Might...)
(You really piss me off, you heroes of my ass!)
Mato jumped high in the air to avoid being sucked into the vortex in the water. Then, he leapt on the floor, searching for any sign of an opponent.
(I want to beat someone's ass up... I really want to!)
Mato ran around the room and reached Shigaraki, who was fighting Eraser Head.
(Someone needs my help here...)
Mato clapped his hands, and some webs made of Darkness trapped Eraser Head.
(What the hell... who the hell did this...) He thought.
If Mato could talk, he probably would have said, "You owe me a beer, Shigaraki!" but he just jumped and kicked Eraser Head away.
"Good job, Mato," said Shigaraki. Mato nodded.
(Dammit...) thought Eraser Head, (I didn't expect someone to attack me from behind...)
"Mato, until All Might doesn't show up, whaddya say we hurt his pride a little?" said Shigaraki. Mato nodded.
Shigaraki noticed Izuku, Tsuyu, and Mineta watching from the pool, and quickly, he dashed forward to touch Tsuyu and erase her. Unfortunately, Eraser Head had managed to get up and erase his Quirk.
"Oh, so you can still move... Eraser Head," said Shigaraki.
Mato smashes Eraser Head on the floor once again.
Shigaraki tried again, but this time, he was interrupted by a loud crash.
Or rather, two loud crashes.
From the main door, a muscular, blond, and tall man had arrived.
"It's okay now. I am here."
It was All Might, the #1 National Hero.
From the left side of the room, the glass was smashed by someone — Oro.
"We're here, you mean!"
(All Might is here... and Oro, too...) thought Shigaraki.
"Mato, take care of Oro. Nomu will handle All Might."
Mato nodded.
"Stop it, you bastard!" Izuku attacked Mato again, but this time, the villain dodged. Even though, finally, Izuku had managed to use his Quirk without breaking his arm.
(This is unmistakably All Might's Quirk...)
Mato kicked Izuku away and turned to Oro.
"Are you my opponent?" the hero asked. Mato, once again, nodded.
"I hope our battle will be beyond epic!"
(What is wrong with this guy...)
The first and the third heroes of the country had finally arrived to save the situation.
