(The final battle was near. The total war between the Paranormal Liberation War led by Tomura Shigaraki and the Heroes... was about to begin. If you're wondering what happened to me, let's say they all think Shigaraki and the others kidnapped me. )
__________
The heroes were all reunited in a room, planning how to move for the final battle.
"Garaki Kyudai," said Rock Lock. "This man's supposed to be Shigaraki's right-hand man?"
"He is the scientist who creates Nomu, right?" Mandalay said.
Oro burst into the room. "They kidnapped my little brother!"
"Oro, calm down," Tsukauchi said.
"We must hurry!" Oro said. "We don't know what they might do to Hideki!"
"Oro, if you get overwhelmed by emotions, this won't lead to anything," said Endeavor. "You're the Number One, aren't you? Then act like it."
Oro sighed. "You're right, Endeavor. Sorry if I got overwhelmed, but I don't want to lose my brother."
He turned to Tsukauchi. "Explain to us the situation, Naomasa."
"After having received the information from the safety commission, I sent someone undercover," Tsukauchi explained. "There's a restricted area in the hospital whose use is unknown even to the staff. A place accessible only through the morgue, and Garaki is the only one seen going and coming. We continued the infiltration and got evidence."
Two photos appeared on the screen. "Look at this."
"That's a Tiny Nomu!" said Pixie-Bob.
"And it is not even cute..." Oro crossed his arms. "I mean, tiny things are usually cute, but that's not the case, definitely."
"It shouldn't be hard to arrest Garaki Kyudai," Tsukauchi continued. "However, if we act rashly, the Paranormal Liberation Front members might figure something out. We also have the trauma from Hosu and Kamino, where there was devastating damage to the cities, and we lost many heroes. Even though we managed to immobilize and arrest All For One, we let the villain named Mato escape that day, and we also sacrificed our Number One Hero, All Might."
Oro clenched his fists. It's my fault if Mato escaped that day... I punched him so hard that they weren't able to localize him.
"This is why I'm asking for your help," Tsukauchi continued. "This is the plan."
"We'll divide heroes into two groups. The Oro Squad will reach the hospital and capture Garaki Kyudai. The Edgeshot Squad will infiltrate the mansion on Mount Gunga, where the Paranormal Liberation Front might hide. The two operations will be executed simultaneously."
"Furthermore, the two squads will be split into the avant-garde and the support squad. They will evacuate the citizens and help them before the situation gets worse. Once the operation starts, we expect to fight the Paranormal Liberation Front members and the Nomus. But we have to do it anyway. Garaki, Nomus, Shigaraki, and then the League. No. The Paranormal Liberation Front. That's who we have to take down."
"Let's do this," Oro stepped up. "Let's save my brother."

Jaku Hospital
Oro opened the door with a kick. "Sorry for the abrupt entrance, but we have some heroic duties to accomplish!"
The people in the hospital gasped.
"Oro! This way!" said one of them.
"Fine," Oro said. "Mirko, you and I will go to the morgue. Follow me!"
"This time, I'll make an exception and work with you!" Mirko said.
"Endeavor, I leave the rest to you!" Oro exclaimed before disappearing from view.
"Got it," Endeavor said. I won't fail you, Number One.
__________
Elsewhere, Garaki was sitting in his chair.
Yeah, my two masterpieces... I'm so focused on Shigaraki and Satoru that I left the rest to my alter egos to avoid doing something else.
Shigaraki was inside an incubator capsule. In the capsule next to his, there was Satoru. They both were unconscious and about to complete the procedure to get All For One.
I don't want to leave this hospital, Garaki said, moving away with his chair. They have no idea how much time it took to accumulate all this energy and to duplicate a Quirk? My entire life is here.
"John, teleport me, Shigaraki, and Satoru!"
Suddenly, though, someone crashed through the wall and caused destruction.
"You're the real one, huh?" Mirko said.
"Give me back my brother, you dirty bastard!" Oro exclaimed.
"Guys! Oro and I found the real one!" Mirko communicated from the communication device. "Or so I think."
"There are also a lot of Nomus who seem pretty tough!" Oro added from his own device.
"Can you confirm if it's the real one?" Endeavor asked.
"Yeah, sure," said Mirko. "I'll kick him and find out."
"We'll reach you both," said Endeavor. "Or that's what I'd like to tell you, but... give us some time."
"Don't worry, Endeavor," said Oro. "We are the Number One and Number Five heroes, there's no way we're going to lose! Am I right, darling?"
"Don't call me that when we're on duty!" Mirko exclaimed.
"Okay, sorry..." Oro sighed. "Now let's talk about something else!"
"Yeah, you're right!" Mirko dashed forward. "Let's see if you're the real one!"
"I'm the real one, I'm the real one!" Garaki cried out.
"A kick and we'll find out!"
Suddenly, though, Oro spoke up. "Watch out, Rumi!"
A mini Nomu appeared from behind and changed Mirko's kick's trajectory, which missed Dr. Garaki and only destroyed the left sleeve of his dress.
"Moka-chan!" Garaki exclaimed.
Oro kicked the mini Nomu away. So this one has got the Double Quirk, huh?
"It's a miracle!" Garaki said. "You used your Quirk before I could order you to! He did it to protect me!"
Suddenly, the incubator capsules with the Nomu inside exploded.
Before Oro and Mirko could turn to acknowledge what had happened, they were attacked by the Nomus.
"Go, my dear High-End Nomus!"
Mirko flew against the wall.
"Rumi!" Oro exclaimed. He managed to break free from the Nomu's grip before they sent him flying, too. "How dare you hurt my girlfriend, you bastard!"
"He... ro... es..." a Nomu said.
Can they talk? Oro wondered. Rumi is temporarily knocked out, which means I'm alone against five Nomus... I don't care, I have to save Satoru!
"We'll kill them all..." said another Nomu.
Suddenly, Crust entered the room. "Mirko! Oro!"
"Crust!" Oro exclaimed.
A Nomu lunged towards the newly arrived hero. "Which number are you? I don't know, but you are Crust!"
"You're well informed, I see!" Crust said, blocking the Nomu's attack with his shield.
Garaki ran away with his chair.
"You think you can escape me, old man?" Mirko said, moving some debris away. "I'll play your game. This was a great warm-up."
"Rumi! Are you all right up there?" Oro asked. "Let's handle these Nomus first, and then we'll reach Garaki!"
"Yes, I am!" Mirko said. "I can feel the tick-tock of that old man's keyboard!"
"How can she move?" a Nomu asked.
"I'll tell you why," said Oro. "Because my girlfriend isn't one to faint that easily."
Oro punched the Nomu in the face, sending them away. Mirko jumped forward and got past the Nomus. "Baka! The old man comes first!"
"Hey, wait for me, Rumi!" Oro got rid of the Nomus and dashed forward. "Why do you never listen to me!?"
"Whoever captures the old man first pays for our next date!" said Mirko.
"Deal!" Oro exclaimed while dodging a Nomu's attack.
Two Nomus reached them. "The order is to stop you, so that's what we're going to do."
"We'll kill you!" said the other Nomu.
"I'd like to see you try!" Oro laughed.
Oro and Mirko got into position.
"Light Smash!"
"Luna Ring!"
We barely hit them... Oro thought.
"Filthy bastards!" Mirko shouted. "Don't get in the way!"
Oro punched one of the two Nomus. "Rumi, I'll handle them! You go catch Garaki!"
"Got it!" said Mirko.
Oro ducked just in time to dodge a Nomu's attack.
"You attack me from behind? Holy unfair play," said the Hero. "Light Spreading, Arm Model!"
Oro's arms wrapped in light. He punched the Nomu in the face.
"Die," said the Nomu.
"Of course I'll die someday! I'm a human, after all!" Oro slipped under the Nomu's legs and jumped high, reaching his neck. "But now, it's your time to die!"
Oro cut the Nomu's head off using only his hands.
Mirko uses the legs, I use the arms. That's why we get along.
The Nomus were defeated by the two Heroes.
"Rumi, are you okay?" Hikaru asked, wiping away some blood from the corner of his mouth. Then he noticed Mirko's constricted arm. "What the hell happened to your arm?"
"A Nomu used their power, but that's not important," Mirko said, bandaging her arm. "I should've listened to you, Hikaru... we should've handled the Nomus first."
"No time for apologies, darling," said Oro. "There are still three Nomus to handle."
"You bastards..." said one of the Nomus.
"If I have to crush your head to stop you, that's fine," said Oro. "I have a strict no-kill rule, but for the ones like you, I can make an exception."
"A 'Heroes vs Zombies' match? You stand no chance against us," said Mirko, licking her lips.
"Let's show these brats," said Oro. "What we're made of."
