Kaminari focused on the desktop, laying in front of him. He ignored the incoming messages and calls. He wasn't sure if he was ready to deal with Hitoshi. He loved that boy more than anything, but he couldn't trust him. Kaminari questioned if he would able to get past the mainframe. For the week, he's been relying on energy drinks to keep himself awake. Kaminari glanced at the messages from Hitoshi. Kaminari debated if he should at least respond to him.
Hitoshi: Hey, are you okay? You weren't at my apartment with Mochi. You've been acting weird since last week.
Hitoshi glanced at his phone, 'Another missed call.' He rubbed his temple, thinking why Kaminari would be avoiding him. He was at the store picking up treats for Mochi. Toshinori hasn't given him any details about his mission. He knew their hands were tied. He decided that he should at least pay a visit to Kaminari's apartment to see if everything is okay. He needed an explanation for Kaminari's sudden disappearance. It's been a week since they last spoke. He wondered if Kaminari finally figured out his secret. His decision was final that he would visit Kaminari.
Kaminari finished his last energy drink, "Goddamnit!" He was halfway through the coding until the power shut down. He knew it wasn't raining, so why was the power out. Power outages rarely happened in his building. He heard the window shattering in the kitchen. He grabbed the metal bat off the ground and walked towards the kitchen.
'Get a grip, Kaminari." Kaminari took a deep breath and swung the bat. He saw the black-figured catch the bat in mid-air. Kaminari growled and kicked the criminal in the stomach. The bat was discarded on the floor when Kaminari started to fight back. The villain pinned him down onto the tile floor. "If I were you, you better calm down." Kaminari's eyes adjusted to the light and gasped. "Familiar?" Kaminari recognized that mask.

19-year-old Ochaco Uraraka rushed inside the police station with tears rushing down her face. Kaminari was volunteering at the station to finish his community service punishment. "Uraraka, what's wrong?" Kaminari approached her, "Uraraka, why is there blood on your clothes?" She collapsed into Kaminari's chest. "They killed them! They killed my parents!" She repeated the same words like a broken record. "Who killed them?"
"The Shadow Killer did!"
****
Kaminari couldn't believe that he was facing the murderer. He never thought that the Anarchy would ever come after him. He never trained to prepare himself for this type of situation. "You're going to do a small favor. You got it?" Kaminari glared at the criminal, "You killed Uraraka's parents." Shadow grabbed Kaminari's golden locks before slamming his head against the floor. "I didn't come to make small talk with thick-witted fools. You think that you can speak to me like that. You're an insufficient pawn in my game." Kaminari's vision blurred from the pain coursing through him. "What the hell do you want from me?"
Shadow smirked, "I heard that you're close to finding one of my partner's location. I need you to give me that information." Kaminari scoffed, "Let me go, and I'll give you the flash drive."
"Finally coming to your senses," Shadow lets go Kaminari's arm. Kaminari went to the fridge to grab an ice pack. His head was pounding from the blow. Shadow rose and crossed his arms. Kaminari walked to his laptop, "I couldn't find the location yet. I still need time to crack the coding." Shadow tsked at the boy, "How long?"
Kaminari looked at his desktop with the ice pack pressed against his forehead. "A couple of hours." Kaminari noticed something odd with the criminal, "Is your shoulder okay?" Shadow rolled his eyes, "I was stabbed in the shoulder by a psycho killer." Kaminari nods his head and sets the ice pack aside. He was typing right away to find the coordinates. "Why did you kill Uraraka's parents?" Kaminari needed to know the truth. He couldn't this question, invade his mind.
Midoriya adjusted his face mask, "I wasn't responsible for their death." Kaminari couldn't see behind the face mask since it covered half of the boy's face. Midoriya twirled a strand of his purple hair, "I was there at the wrong time. I didn't realize that the loan sharks would come after them."
"Loan Sharks?"

18-year-old Izuku Midoriya didn't think that he would witness Uraraka's parents shaking at the harsh knocking on the door. Uraraka was in the bathroom to hear the sounds. "What's wrong?" Midoriya didn't understand what was going on. "You have one year to bring in my money!" Midoriya froze at the sudden detail. He wondered how far in debt was the Uraraka family in.
Midoriya glanced to see Uraraka's father, "Don't tell Ochaco any of this." The green-haired boy nodded his head. Uraraka walked outside the bathroom and barely noticed the change in the atmosphere. Midoriya kept his word and said nothing at the dinner table.
Midoriya failed to realize his fatal mistake. He spent one year working on the underground organization. His mind forgot about the money sharks until Todoroki mentioned it. "Midoriya, be careful. Here's the address of where those killers would attack next," Midoriya grabbed the slip of paper. His blood rushed cold when he ran out of the passage. He knew that address and hoped that he wasn't too late.
Midoriya knocked on the door, "Please open the door! It's Midoriya!" He heard no sound coming from inside. The lights were on, so he rushed to the windows. He couldn't see anything beyond the curtains. He wasn't going to let this stop him. He ran back and ran forward into the glass. His eyes widen at the scene, "Ms. Uraraka, Mr. Uraraka?" Their bodies lay lifeless on the floor, "Oh god!" His hands were covered in their blood when he checked their pulses.
"Mom! Dad! I'm home!" Midoriya's body froze at the familiar voice. Uraraka walked into the living room to see the hood figure wearing a kitsune mask. "It's not what it looks like," Midoriya turned to face the girl. "You killed them!" Uraraka dropped to the ground and hugged his parents' corpses. Midoriya couldn't reveal his identity to her. He ran out of the house. Uraraka watched the killer run out of the house. She ran after the boy, determined to catch him. Midoriya disappeared into the crowd.

"What do you mean that you didn't kill them?" Midoriya wondered why he was revealing this information to Kaminari. "Her parents didn't want her to know how deep in debt they were." Kaminari nods his head softly and continues working on his desktop. Midoriya spent a decent amount of time taking in his surroundings. This guy could be a valuable asset to the Anarchy, except Kirishima would probably protest against it. "Hey, can I ask you another question?" Midoriya rolled his eyes, "You just did." Kaminari laughs nervously. "Who's this guy you're finding?"
"You're going to rat us out if I tell you." Kaminari rubs the back of his neck, "I know you guys are the bad guys, but I admire you guys. You guys act above the law, so there's a reason why the police are after you guys. The Anarchy is powerful, and I do wish you guys luck." Midoriya was surprised by Kaminari's words. People weren't big fans of the Anarchy, and this took him by surprise. Midoriya looked forward, "Night-Flame. He's known as Night-Flame." Kaminari remembered that name.
"I hope you do find him." Kaminari pulled out the flash drive. "His coordinates are on this drive. I wish you luck." Midoriya takes the flash drive from Kaminari. "I know your boss might get you in trouble, so give him the location." Kaminari nods his head at Midoriya's orders. "Well, see you later, Chargebolt. I'll come back if we need your help. Don't tell anyone about this. It's best if no one knows." Midoriya exits out, and then the lights flickered on. Kaminari leaned back into his chair, "What did I just get myself into?"

Amajiki took photos of the crime scene. He was a Crime Scene Technician. He has skills needed for using a camera and knows the proper procedures in collecting specimens. Tokoyami walked onto the scene in his lab coat. He was from the morgue that helped identify the way the person met their demise. Uraraka glanced at the corpse, "Her name was Himiko Toga." Iida reached into her pocket to pull out a small piece of paper. "She was a part of the League of Villains. Do you have any thoughts, Uraraka?"
"You remember that video? If she's connected to the league, the Anarchy is planning their next move." Uraraka stood back to allow Tokoyami to examine the body. Uraraka glanced up to see the broken security cameras. "Do you think that we can get Kaminari to look into this?" Iida glanced up to where Uraraka was pointing at, "I think we can." The two detectives returned to the police department to plan their next move.

Kaminari prepares himself to leave his apartment when he received a message from Iida. He saw that familiar purple hair. "Kaminari-" Kaminari pushes past him, "I have to get going." Kaminari closed the door behind him. "Kaminari, please listen," Hitoshi held onto Kaminari's wrist. The boy looked at Hitoshi's eyes, "Hitoshi, I need to get to work." Kaminari pulled his wrist away from his boyfriend. He walked away from Hitoshi.
Kaminari arrived at the station and noticed Uraraka. He promised Shadow that he wouldn't tell Urarakak the truth. "Kaminari, do you think that you can find any footage on this drive?" Kaminari chuckled, "Of course, this is my specialty." He took the flash drive from Uraraka and took his laptop out. "Done," Kaminari pulled up the footage. Urararaka, Iida, Kaminari watched the fight between Toga and Shadow. "She was fighting one of the members from the Anarchy." Uraraka clenched her fists when she recognized that figure. Iida watched Toga pounce on Izuku before stabbing him in the shoulder. Kaminari noticed Toga stopping and collapsing on top of Shadow.
"There are the other two members from the Anarchy," Iida pointed out to the two figures appearing from behind. Hollow Death was holding onto a weapon while Red Riot walked forward to the camera. The video view soon turned black. "We need to find them soon," Uraraka told them. Iida agreed, "We need to stop them." The Anarchy and the League were dangerous and unstoppable. Lives would be in jeopardy with these two organizations running around.
Midoriya walked inside the base, "I'm back." Kirishima looked at Midoriya and sighed. He was glad that his friend didn't get hurt. Bakugou was annoyed, "Where the hell did you go, Deku?" Midoriya set the flash drive down onto the war table. "I know where Todoroki is." Bakugou raised an eyebrow, "Where did you get this from?" Kirishima's eyes widen when he notices the small lightning bolt sticker on the flash drive. "I had some help. Toga mentioned that someone from the police department was tracking down the IP address on the video. I decided to visit him," Midoriya explained.
"You went to see Kaminari," Kirishima pointed out. Bakugou growled, "Damnit Deku, I told you to leave them out of this." Midoriya rolled his eyes at his childhood friend. "I didn't hurt him. Plus, it's not my fault that he's a hacker. He helped me find Todoroki's location. I wasn't going to let the opportunity slip past me. I need to find him." Bakugou stood up and grabbed Midoriya's collar. "Look here, Deku! I know that's a shitty lie. You told him something. Didn't you?"
"I told him what happened to Uraraka's family." Midoriya shoved Bakugou off of him, "Plus, it's none of your concern for what I do outside the Anarchy." Bakugou was frustrated. He didn't want any of his shitty friends to be involved. He wouldn't admit that he was worried about his friends back at the station.
"Either way, I think it's time we expand the members in the Anarchy." Midoriya knew that Kaminari was a possible candidate. Bakugou remained silent at Deku's words. Midoriya was planning something, and he had no say in this.
"Right now, we should focus on our strength on the attack. We're going to get Todoroki back," Kirishima told them. Midoriya turned to the red-haired boy, "We'll attack in two weeks." Midoriya needed this cast-off, but he had to wait for two weeks. The three members of the Anarchy couldn't hold back their thoughts.
'Don't worry, Todoroki. The league will suffer for their actions.'
'What is Midoriya/Deku planning?' Kirishima worried for his friend. Bakugou was slightly worried about the future. He hoped that Deku doesn't do something reckless.
