My Hero Academia: Blood and Fire

Toya took some time to think over the call that he had received, as he had learned that Izuku had been attacked during his own get together with Celestia at the same mall, and that the one who attacked him was none other than Tomura, who was just acting stupidly. It was hard to justify working with someone like that, who disregarded the rules of society and painted a target on the backs of the students of UA, all of them based on what he had learned so far, meaning being beaten by both Celestia and Selene was driving him mad. The only reason he even considered agreeing to joining Tomura's group was so he had a more direct path to Endeavor, since his father was always following in All Might's path and by targeting the No 1 he was sure the No 2 would come running to steal the spotlight. It was there that the problem became apparent as he studied Tomura, as he had the mindset of a man child, he treated everything like a game and even used game terms to tell others what he meant or was planning, and he destroyed whatever he didn't like.

He suspected that there was more to the troubled young man than what they had learned so far, and Toya had to debate whether or not he wanted to be involved in whatever plan Tomura was coming up with, before making the call to meet up in the League's base.

The plan was rather simple, he was going to keep going with the mindset that he was focusing on Endeavor and that both Tomura and his League were just stepping stones, a means to an end, for him to reach that point, though to be on the safe side he kept wearing his mask and longer clothing as he entered the League's base. There he found Tomura sitting at the bar, like the last time he had seen him, and the boy still had a creepy hand over his face, while the girl called Himiko was off to the side, sitting at one of the booths as she fiddled with a knife she must have kept in her pocket. In that moment he also found that more people were present, there was a lizard mutant who wore a mask like Stain's, in fact it looked like he might have changed his attire to resemble Stain's, and his weapons seemed to be knives and blades. There was another guy who looked like he was a traveling street magician, just well taken care of like a gentleman, plus some guy in a black costume that seemed to be talking to himself, alternating between positive and negative things.

Then Toya got to the real troublemakers, the known villains since he knew of them, such as the muscular woman who was definitely transitioning towards being a man, even though everyone still got away with calling her a woman, Magne, and she had a cruel and brutal personality. Following that Toya spotted a taller male that was wearing what could only be a set of bondage gear that only showed off his mouth, an insane individual who was obsessed with consuming flesh, who he quickly identified as the villain known as 'Moonfish'. In addition to that there was someone who looked like they had just graduated from school, his young body and his black school attire supported that thought, though he wore a gas mask with two tanks of oxygen on his back, and Toya knew him as 'Mustard', as he was a rising villain. The one that really caught his attention was the tall muscular figure who was missing his left eye, a wound he bared from his battle with Water Hose, the villain known as Muscular, who simply loved fighting and killing, no matter who his foes were.

Of those four there was a single C-Rank villain, two B-Rank villains, and an A-Rank villain, while he knew that he and the rest of the newcomers didn't have ranks yet, not to his knowledge since none of their names were on any lists, forcing him to focus on Tomura as the door closed behind him.

"So, this is the new League?" Toya inquired, though part of this would terrify a normal person, especially since Muscular was a high ranking villain in his bracket, to the point that the musclebound maniac was getting closer to being a larger threat, as in an S-Rank, "Looks like you've got something in mind, if you've gathered this many people to your cause."

"Yes, I do. Our goal is the end game boss known as All Might, but to crush him we need to prepare and lure him into a trap of our own making." Tomura said, where Toya could hear some of the others groan for a moment, as no one liked his usage of game mechanics to tell them what he was talking about, though for the time being it looked like he was ignoring them and their foul moods, instead focusing on his new plans, "And to do that we need a pawn, someone that the target will risk life and limb to recover... I have gone over his known allies, heroes and people across Japan, and determined that none of them would make suitable pawns. No, we need one of his precious students, one he's close to and would be blindly rush into our trap to save, and to do that we need to track down and attack the summer camp that the students are training in... we just need to grab one or two of them and then we can finally kill All Might."

"Yeah, no, that is a horrible idea!" Toya stated, because this was stupid, most of the villains here seemed to be of the opinion that they wanted to take on the 'corrupted' heroes, or at least a few of them based on what little he knew of them, but this idea was completely and utterly stupid, especially given who Tomura was thinking of attacking, "Why are you so focused on the class that has beaten you, twice? In your own terms you're going after two 'secret bosses' before the 'final boss', and you won't be able to beat them since they've improved since your last encounter and you've done nothing since the attack on Hosu. Even if you could find Class 1-A, which will be quite hard since the heroes did a good job ensuring that their camp this year is well hidden, you wouldn't be able to beat them... and besides, this goes against Stain's creed."

"What do you know about Stain's creed?" the lizard mutant asked, his tone revealing that he was annoyed that he would say such a thing, or maybe he was just interested in defending the person he looked up to, and while he spoke he pulled out one of his own knives, like he might be thinking of attacking him for speaking about Stain.

"I know that he focused on corrupt heroes, those who became heroes for the fame and money... take the heroes Mirko and Ryukyu, they've dedicated themselves to saving people and doing the right thing." Toya said, where he could see that the lizard stopped for a moment as he listened to him speak, while the other villains were either uninterested in his words or were waiting for him to stop before speaking their minds on his remark, "Going after innocent children, who have yet to step into the world of heroes and villains, and who have yet to paint themselves one way or another, doesn't make us right at all, it makes us look like animals. We should be focusing on drawing All Might out into a trap that will allow us to beat him, not attacking a hero summer camp... would it draw attention to us, most certainly, but then we would have every hero agency in Japan hounding us. Let's do this the smart way and create another plan of attack."

"You sound like you're worried about little kids." Muscular remarked, where he seemed to chuckle a little as he said that, not that Toya was surprised since the figure loved to fight and kill people for fun, so to him the thought of fighting the students of UA was accompanied by a desire to murder them.

"Class 1-A is the class that the sisters, Selene and Celestia Midoriya, are part of, and both of their Quirks are dangerous, as an entire army of lesser villains was taken out by them." Toga stated, as she agreed with Dabi, this was stupid, especially since it was her only friend's class they would be going after, meaning there was a chance Selene would discover that she was there and be disappointed in her, hence why she wasn't so interested in Tomura's current plan, "Going after them is a fool's quest... a waste of time... Stain certainly wouldn't have gone after the students, he would have waited until they were pro heroes and had a chance to reveal their 'true selves' to the world."

Tomura growled a little as he listened to them, as Dabi was reported to be fine with anything, yet here he was challenging his decision on what to do next, while the annoying girl continued to be annoying, and right now he was worried that they might cause the collapse of the League before they attempted their next mission.

Tomura, I must agree with your companions: cease your plans to attack UA's students and focus on All Might. Hisashi said, though he was quite literally at his breaking point with his 'student', as Tomura was a grand failure and he still had no idea where in the world he had gone wrong with teaching him how to be someone that was focused on improving the lives of villains everyone, as in bringing down the broken systems and helping to make new ones, Dabi, can I trust you to make a realistic plan to lure All Might into a trap, so we can bring him down?

"NO! I refuse to be treated like this! I AM the leader of the League of Villains!" Tomura snapped, something that caused the group to pause for a moment, as he was showing that his mental state was breaking under being 'disrespected' by his own master, even though Toya doubted that AFO was seeing the boy as his student anymore, "You want the League? Then you'll have to topple me first."

"I have no desire to fight you... nor do I agree with your plans to attack UA's students. I will simply leave." Toya said, because it seemed like Tomura was looking for an excuse to fight someone and regain his lost honor, and if the two of them were to clash it would be a disaster, since there was no telling how much the boy would decay with his touch, "If it makes you feel any better, freak, I won't sell you and your friends out."

Tomura glared at him from behind his facial hand cover before heading up the stairs as he dismissed the villains to continue their search for the camp that the heroes were training the students in, where Toya watched as everyone shuffled by him as they headed outside, save for Toga stopping by his side.

"Oh, and you might want to know this: you know Tomura attacked the mall, right?" Toya remarked, speaking to the screen for a moment, after making sure that it was only him, Toga, and Kurogiri in the area, and he knew the figure on the other side knew this fact since he was connected to all sorts of information networks, "It turns out he targeted Izuku Midoriya and forced him to talk to him for a time, with four of his five fingers around the boy's neck, threatening him with death by decay if he didn't play along. Just thought you'd want to know."

"So, what are we going to do now?" Toga asked, because she knew Dabi was friendly with someone in Class 1-A, due to the fact that she had seen him hanging out with someone on the day he mentioned, all while both of them heard the sound of what had to be a glass shattering on the other side of the screen, meaning the true leader of the League was pissed, "I'm not interested in attacking UA."

"I know you don't... and I don't know yet." Toya admitted, as there wasn't much he could do with the information he had, since they had no idea where UA's summer camp was located, so they couldn't just tell the heroes that an attack was eminent, but at the same time he wasn't interested in ruining the future Celestia and her healing offered him, beckoning for Toga to follow as he headed outside, "We'll figure something out."

Toya really had no idea what they could do right now, though at the same time he was hoping that Tomura realized that his plan was stupid and that there were other plans to make to fulfill his current desire, but he and Toga could figure something out and hoped that they could stop Tomura's idiocy from happening, all while wondering what the sisters were doing at that very moment.

Selene found that the summer camp was definitely an exciting place to be, as the Pussycats and their mentors pushed new and interesting challenges on them, each one designed to teach them skills that were linked to being a hero or skills they might need in the real world. By that she meant that the Pussycats not cooking for them meant that they were supposed to use their combined knowledge and skills to make food, and their first challenge for all forty-two students was for them to make curry, which they were able to do in no time. It provided them a chance to bond, with the annoying boy ignoring Class 1-A for the most part, learn that Katsuki was actually good at using a knife, much to the surprise of most of his class, while Shoto provided some heat for them since it helped him learn to regulate his fire temperature. Everything was designed to be of some benefit to the students of UA, even though it was clear that Aizawa had no excuses for the various lessons that the Pussycats hurled at everyone, yet both Selene and Celestia were fine with their various challenges.

At the same time, however, Selene found herself thinking about her other Quirk, Blood Singularity as the good doctor called it, one she had neglected for a long time since there wasn't much she could do with it, especially in UA, but it did make her think of a question that she should ask her sister while they were here.

She didn't approach Celestia for some time, rather she allowed both of them and Izuku to enjoy their time in the summer camp, it was great as they focused on their various skills and how to improve their Quirks, even though the Pussycats had a little they could offer to the likes of Dragon, Tiger, and Hydra, while they couldn't to the same for Sunshine. Selene also took notice of the fact that those from Class 1-B were definitely looking at Celestia, sizing her up like they did during their day of training, trying to find holes in her defenses where she had none when she used either of her Quirks. They were still totally shocked by the fact that she was able to switch between Sunshine and Dragon with such ease, even though many were still taken aback by how weak the former got as the sun lowered, just as she, Celestia, and Izuku knew, which was why most of her focus turned towards Dragon in that period. In addition to that her sister used Solarion when the sun lowered, which the students avoided like the plague when it was in use, not that she blamed them since it was a formidable weapon and none of their Quirks or skills came close to challenging it.

"Shitty kitty, spill: you knew Celestia could use a weapon, didn't you?" Katsuki asked, speaking to Selene before it was time for them to head to bed, while the remedial students were hauled off for their four hour additional studies under Aizawa, a punishment on top of the summer camp's harshness.

"Katsuki, she never trained with a weapon. It's just part..." Selene started to say, though in response to that the boy held up his hand for a moment and stopped her, the usual look on his face confirming that he was, as always, annoyed by what he was seeing or hearing.

"Yeah, I know your usual excuse: 'just a part of Sunshine'. Whatever." Katsuki said, his tone revealing that he didn't believe her in the slightest, not that she blamed him since there was a lot connected to Celestia that couldn't be explained so easily, before he wandered off and left everyone to get ready for bed.

In the end Selene decided to head outside as everyone else turned in for the night, where she sat on the roof and stared at the moon, imagining what Luna was up to, along with her blood-based Quirk and everything else that was going on in the rest of Japan right now.

"Selene? Are you all right?" a voice asked, where Selene found that Celestia was standing behind her, dressed for bed like all of the other students that were in the lodge, yet at the same time she discovered that her sister was worried about her, as she definitely had a concerned and worried look on her face.

"Yeah, just... thinking. About Stain and blood type Quirks." Selene replied, which was a fair thing to say, since most people needed time to come to terms with the fact that those existed, even though those same people assumed blood Quirks were evil, causing her to sigh for a moment as she turned towards Celestia, "I have a friend, in fact I was going to introduce you to Toga once we had a chance to actually rest and relax, and she has a blood Quirk, one that's caused her pain in the past due to the fact that people have misjudged her for her actions and Quirk."

"Sis... are you worried that I'm going to shun her or something? Because I'm not... a Quirk is just a power, and it's the people behind those powers that decide if they're labeled as 'good' or 'evil'." Celestia said, though in that moment she tilted her head for a moment and focused on Selene's face, where Selene resisted the urge to sigh as she realized that her sister was already seeing the other meaning to her words, the unspoken words, "Not just Toga, but yourself as well... right?"

"Yes. I'm sorry for keeping this from you and Izuku... and don't tell Izuku, he's not ready for this... but I have another Quirk: Blood Singularity, a vampire style Quirk." Selene answered, as she knew her sister was smart, it had been something that all of the ponies back home knew about Celestia when she was a Princess, and yet it still amazed her when she thought about how she only gave her sister a little info and she linked the dots in a few seconds, "The ingesting of blood allows me to boost my natural skills, such as speed and power, depending on type and how much I take in... I haven't used it since there's been no reason to, not time to use it, especially not with how people view blood Quirks."

Celestia stood there for a moment, taking in this information, before letting out a sigh as she embraced her sister, showing Selene that her worries really didn't matter, Celestia accepted her as her sister and it didn't matter what Quirks she had, she was still her sister and she was never going to stop loving her.

"It pains me to see you reject a piece of yourself like this, just hiding it from everyone... and yourself." Celestia said, where she pulled back for a moment and held out her left arm for a few seconds, while at the same time causing one of her right fingers to sharpen into a dragon talon, "Let us have our own sort of 'remedial lesson', in me helping you out. A few drops of blood to start, to get you back in the act of using your third Quirk."

Selene was almost brought to tears by that, because as a Princess of a nation Celestia wouldn't do such a thing, despite the fact that she would defend Equestria to the fullest of her capacity, yet as an ordinary girl in this world Celestia was willing to do far more than she ever did in the past. In the end she nodded and allowed her sister to lightly poke her left arm, enough to draw a few bits of blood for Selene to lick up, while also giving Celestia a chance to use her healing to mend her wound, to the point that it looked like she hadn't done anything to herself. Sure enough Selene found that her power was boosted for a time, she could feel her strength and speed reaching new heights for a brief period of time, and yet she felt something more in the background, a faint thing that she almost missed completely. It wasn't Celestia's Dragon Quirk, she didn't feel the very familiar sensations of her body changing into that of a beast, nor was it the overwhelming power of the sun, so she wasn't getting Sunshine, but rather it felt like she now had a connection to Equestrian magic, through taking in a bit of her sister's blood.

She had to wonder what this meant for her, could she actually use magic if she took in more of Celestia's blood, before she shelved the thought for the time being, as there would be enough time to think about what this meant in the future, causing her to focus on her sister again.

"Sis... thank you, you have no idea what this means to me." Selene said, taking a moment to embrace her sister in kind, as it meant a lot to her that her sister was willing to accept this nature of her without her having to go into detail about explaining why she had the Quirk and why she had kept it hidden for so long, even though she also knew Celestia would keep this their secret until she was ready to tell everyone else, "Come on, let's go get some sleep... I have a feeling we'll need to be well rested for whatever tomorrow brings."

Celestia nodded and together the sisters headed back down into the building and made their way to the sleeping area, as it was time to get some sleep so they could be ready for whatever the Pussycats and Aizawa might throw at them next, and they were eager to see whatever the coming days had to throw at them next.
