Hitoshi Shinso never would have thought it would be the day he would be asked to hypnotize a classmate purposely. Maybe on a dare by one of his classmates, but never by the most notorious teacher there ever was in the history of UA. So, he stood there, completely baffled, and asked the one question. And the only question that needed to be asked.
.
"Why?" Shinso asked.
"Simple," Six spoke, "We need you to hypnotize the traitor we've found in UA that's been leaking intel to the LOV and their leader. Should you do so, you'll be rewarded. Simple as that."
"I get that," He rolled his eyes, "What I don't know is why you don't use that Mezmotron thing you compared my quirk to?"
"A few things, really," Six shrugged, holding up three fingers and counting down, "First, it only lasts a few moments, while your quirk does not. Second, the people hit by the Mezmotron act dazed when you give them commands. Third, your quirk is still unknown to them, making you the perfect Hero-in-training to make this plan work."
.
Shinso sighed, then nodded and asked what he needed to do. Six looked like Christmas came early this year. Then he quickly pulled Sinso towards the teacher's office.
.
As Six stood back, he explained his plan and how it would go. The teachers, Willow, Veronica, Christine, Dr Disaster, Mitsuki, Inko, and Shinso, were speechless. It was idiotic, hair-brained, and had a massive likelihood of failing. Yet, there was a seemingly brilliant aspect to it that made it seem possible. If this plan worked, and that was a big IF, Six would make anything Nezu could come up with be sane in comparison....
Now, the only question was: 'How fast would they need to be to get it started?'

|Six Months Later|

AFO stood out on the wrecked island that was once known as Tarturous. Thanks to some careful planning, the Island was now under his control. However, AFO wasn't smiling. In fact, he was downright angry, pissed beyond measure. Kurogiri, who was never captured, managed to get in and disable the island's security long enough for the inmates to riot and revolt. Once he was released, the island fell in minutes.
However, that wasn't what he was pissed about. It was the report from Yuga Ayoama, his spy, that sparked his anger.
Shigaraki's ascent, as AFO called it, was halted, and now he was under the watchful eye of a Healthy Courier Six. It appeared that his plan for poisoning Courier Six was for nought, as he was never alone long enough for his spy to administer it, let alone come close to him. But a piece of him was wondering, when was Shigaraki captured?
.
'It must have been recent," AFO thought, a snarl adorning his disfigured face. 'During my incarceration, most likely. Matters not, I will become inevitable and will rule this world.'
.
As he thought this, he floated a machine over that was connected to him. It was his Life support that kept him in the living world; without it, he would only last minutes. A cruel crutch, but one that he needs for the moment. Soon, though, his mind wandered as to what he could do now. However, before he could delve deep into his musings, an inmate came towards him.
.
"Well," the inmate spoke in a measured and even tone, "It seems you're in a predicament. Care for a hand?"
"Quiet, filth." AFO growled as he 'looked' towards the inmate. "I will be inevitable. I have no need for a child to help me. Especially one that was captured by some simple-minded paperpushers."
"Oh, but you see," The inmate chuckled, "that's where you're wrong. I let myself be captured to let the Courier believe that I was disposed of. And he still believes that my 'death' is still true. However, that is where he will fall."
"And how will he 'fall'?" AFO asked, his mind simply not seeing how this inmate could fell the Courier.
"Quite simple, really," the inmate spoke, "Go after those he loves and cherishes. He'll end up just like a rabid animal with nothing left to lose and walk straight into any bait you throw at him. Even if that bait lures him into hell itself."
"And if it fails?" AFO asked.
"Oh, it will not fail," The inmate spoke smoothly. "He simply won't be able to resist it."
"...Very well, Vulpes." AFO answered, "We'll do it your way. However, know this. If it should fail in any way or form, I will take your life."
"As you wish," Vulpes answered and bowed his head, "Master."

|Rewind Six months|
.
The question: 'How fast would they need to be to get it started?' was answered quite quickly. Within moments, the plan was set in motion. Shinso made his move and had Yuga report fake information. Then from there, the four tech heads: Christine, Veronica, Doctor Disaster, and Six, headed off to the labs to search for any unusual activity. From there, they searched for any sort of lead to Shigaraki.
It took almost a month, but they found a lead. It was a hospital named Jaku General Hospital located in the next town over. One of the main supporters of the LOV was disguised as a dean of medicine. The dean, a man by the name of Garaki, was the leading researcher for the Nomus.
By the time the heroes arrived and apprehended the doctor, he released several High-end Nomus that tore through the hospital. However, before he could escalate things any further, he was shot dead by Six and Veronica. As for the Nomus, they were dealt with the same way.
During the search of his office, Doctor Disaster found a hidden elevator. It led down into a secret underground lab. There, they found several incomplete Nomus and Shigaraki. Disaster took to the consoles and shut down the nomus, killing them. As for Shigaraki, Six had Disaster start on a procedure to remove all the modifications Shigaraki had done to him. That alone took a month to do its thing.
