Chapter 12 - chapter 12 Hideout Raid Arc

Screen 1 – Operation: Bakugo Rescue Begins

The common room of Heights Alliance was silent.

Everyone sat frozen as the news replayed:

"Bakugo Katsuki kidnapped by the League of Villains."

Ben clenched his fists. "We should've stopped them. I should've stopped them."

Midoriya shook his head. "No… we still have a chance."

Despite U.A.'s warnings, Midoriya, Todoroki, Kirishima, Iida, Yaoyorozu, and Ben secretly gathered to plan an infiltration mission.

Yaoyorozu held up her tracker. "I placed a transmitter on one of the Nomu containers. I know where they're hiding."

Iida looked serious. "We are breaking school rules. If we get caught—"

Ben interrupted. "Bakugo's life matters more. I'm going with or without permission."

Kirishima slammed a fist into his palm. "Exactly. We rescue him — no fighting unless we have to."

They disguised themselves, boarded a train, and headed straight toward the villains' hideout.

Screen 2 – Echo Echo Gives the Villains a Headache

Reaching the city, the group carefully approached the League's bar hideout.

Ben tapped the Omnitrix.

Click.

Green light flashed — Echo Echo appeared.

"Let me handle the noise part."

He duplicated into dozens of tiny Echo Echo clones.

Sonic Waves erupted through the alley, disorienting every villain nearby.

Spinner covered his ears.

"AGHHH! WHAT IS THAT SOUND?!"

Toga staggered out of the bar. "IT FEELS LIKE MY BRAIN'S RINGING!"

Even Dabi fell to one knee.

"Damn brat… turn it off!"

The students used the chaos to slip past them and reach the rooftop — right above Bakugo.

Screen 3 – Operation 1: Pro Hero Raid (Official)

At the same time, Pro Heroes launched their own coordinated attack.

Edgeshot tore through the walls like paper.

Best Jeanist captured villains with fiber threads.

Mt. Lady smashed through the street.

Gran Torino knocked out ambushers before they blinked.

Ben switched back to human form, running with the heroes. "Guess we're not the only ones crashing this party."

All Might arrived behind them — the Symbol of Peace in full power.

His presence alone shook the battlefield.

But when they cornered the League… the air went still.

A cold voice echoed through the demolished bar.

All For One had arrived.

Screen 4 – Bakugo's Escape

Inside the League's new temporary base, villains surrounded Bakugo.

Shigaraki leaned forward. "Come on, Bakugo. You belong with us. You're angry, violent — like us."

Bakugo glared at them. "I'm angry because I want to win like a hero. Not join rejects like you."

Suddenly—

A window shattered.

On the rooftop stood Midoriya, Kirishima, Todoroki, Iida, Yaoyorozu —

and Ben, holding back Echo Echo clones to keep villains disoriented.

Kirishima reached out his hand.

"BAKUGO! Come with us!"

Bakugo didn't hesitate.

"DON'T TELL ME TWICE!"

He blasted himself upward, grabbed Kirishima's hand, and the group escaped into the night sky.

Ben helped cover their retreat by activating Echo Echo again, sending sonic pulses through the alley that shut down the remaining villains' senses.

Screen 5 – The Ultimate Battle: All Might & Humungousaur vs. All For One

As the students escaped, the street cracked apart.

All For One stood on the ruins, masked and monstrous.

All Might landed in front of him, muscles bulging.

Ben slammed the Omnitrix.

Click. GREEN FLASH.

He transformed into Humungousaur.

All Might glanced at him. "Young Ben… stay behind me."

Humungousaur cracked his knuckles. "Not a chance."

All For One raised a hand —

a shockwave quirk combo blasted the street apart, flattening multiple buildings and sending heroes flying.

Best Jeanist fell first.

Edgeshot barely dodged a fatal hit.

Gran Torino was crushed into the pavement.

All Might staggered. "He's… too strong."

Humungousaur charged, fists slamming forward.

But All For One countered with an air cannon that sent the giant alien skidding back across the highway.

"You cannot stop me," All For One said. "Neither of you."

Ben forced himself up.

He tapped the Omnitrix again, trying to transform —

ERROR: Timed Out

He could only watch.

Screen 6 – The United States of Smash

All Might's body trembled. His muscle form flickered.

All For One grinned. "You're finished, Toshinori."

All Might roared, gathering every last ounce of strength.

"This… is for the future!"

He leapt into the air.

The street shook.

Clouds split.

UNITED STATES OF SMASH!!!!

The impact obliterated All For One and shook the entire city.

Ben shielded the students from the shockwave with his body.

Midoriya watched with tears in his eyes.

As smoke cleared, All Might stood, shrunken, barely stable.

He pointed to the camera, to the world watching.

"You're next."

His hero form flickered out.

It was over.

The Symbol of Peace had fallen.

Ben whispered, "Guess… this is where everything changes."

To be continued...
