Chapter 3 The Plan of Creati
Momo and Todoroki drove through the mostly empty and dark streets of Hosu City to head down a path less travelled by heroes and civilians alike outside of the city. The two heroes sped towards the Finn Rey Memorial Hospital with determination and a sense of uneasiness in their minds. They both knew it was a job that had to be done but at the same time neither one knew what Hijoshiki was capable of or what exactly he was going to do to Endeavor. As the minutes passed both of them settled into their roles. They knew they had to keep their emotions in check on the job. Especially since they both knew that Hijoshiki wouldn't simply surrender after all that he had done at this point. As soon as they arrived Momo and Shoto got out of their cars and gazed upon the abandoned hospital.
The building was dark and gloomy as it still looked the same as it did three months ago when the plans to demolish it fell through. The roof clearly needed maintenance, the sign had a few letters rubbed out so it read "In Ey Pital" and the door to the place looked broken down as if a child could touch the front door and immediately destroy it. It was a messy and harrowing place that would only be used by someone who's desperate.
Shoto walked over to the front door and carefully opened it. But as soon as he did a foul stench emitted from the building making both Shoto and Momo cover their noses and recoil in disgust. "Well we can tell this guy isn't sanitary." Quipped Momo.
"Yeah it smells like Mineta's dirty magazines after a session of self pleasure." Replied Shoto
"Please don't remind me of that little pervert. He was such a nuisance back in the day. At least he's in jail now." said Momo as she blushed so hard that her face was turning red.
"Sorry. Anyways stay sharp. You never know when Hijoshiki could be pop out and make our lives miserable." Shoto and Momo entered the building to find an empty reception area and a sign that had been written on in permanent marker.
It said "Come to room 309. We'll settle this Todoroki."
"Well at least he's giving us clear directions now so what was your plan to take this guy down?" Asked Shoto.
"Well since he clearly wants you I figured that you should enter that room first and try to stall him. Then I'll find a way to restrain him once he's off guard. I was thinking I'll go to the fourth floor and drop down when he least expects it." Explained Momo as she created a pair of handcuffs from her midriff.
"Sounds good. As long as he thinks that i came here alone he should be completely unable to deal with you. Let's put your plan into action." Said Shoto as he ran up the stairs to the third floor while Momo went up to the fourth.
Shoto then walked over to room 309 as he prepared to unleash his ice side onto Hijoshiki if he attempted to attack him. "Gotta make sure I'm on guard. I still don't know what this guys Quirk is so he could be dangerous. Just freeze him if he attempts an attack. Fire would be too risky." Shoto found the room and entered to see the tall man who's face he saw in the news, the man who had captured his father and led him to this very moment.
"I see you were able to figure out my location. Well done. So. I suppose you're here to bring me in and get your daddy back. Does that sound about right?" asked Hijoshiki.
"Sounds about right but it seems like you're more interested in something else other than capturing Pro Heroes. You have something else in mind don't you?" Asked Todoroki.
Hijoshiki showed an arrogant smirk as he replied. "You're an insightful young man aren't you? There's always more to people like me than just keeping these idiots in my confinement. But of course your dad is the most important piece of the plan."
Todoroki tensed up and prepared for any sudden movements from Hijoshiki meanwhile Momo was positioned on the fourth floor and listened in on their conversation due to the damaged walls and floors allowing her to hear everything going on. Momo created a few tranquilizer darts and a launcher from her stomach and prepared to drop down in order to catch Hijoshiki off guard however she was unfortunately unaware of a blonde man approaching from behind.
"Well if it isn't another Class 1-A punk. I will prove class 1-B is superior!" Said the man. Momo turned around to see the blonde man and she could tell from the voice and the attitude that it was Monoma but there was something different about him this time. His smile looked less arrogant and more psychotic, his skin was loaded with bruises and his eyes were glowing with a grey light. Almost as if he's possessed.
"Monoma? What are you doing here?" Asked Momo in shock.
"I could ask the same to you Ms. First round curbstomp!" Said Monoma as he dodged Momo's dart and touched her shoulder. Monoma then created a knife from his arm and slashed at Momo with it. Momo rolled out of the way and ran into a nearby room with Monoma in hot pursuit.
Todoroki could hear the commotion coming from the floor above and he could hear Monoma's voice and it made him wonder what he had gotten himself into. "What did you do to those people you captured Hijoshiki?!" Asked Todoroki.
"It's funny that you ask. I simply used my Quirk to put a little memory back into the blonde guys head. Then that's all he seemed to focus on." Explained Hijoshiki.
"You're putting her in danger!" Yelled Todoroki as he got ready to freeze Hijoshiki but unbeknownst to Todoroki Hijoshiki had a defense against heroes with powerful Quirks. He looked directly in Todoroki's eyes and activated his Quirk and Todoroki saw his mother in Hijoshiki's place.
"Don't do this son. Stand down. Do it for me." Said Shotos mom in a kind and innocent voice.
Todoroki was unable to attack and he just stood in place out of bewilderment. Hijoshiki took this opportunity to grab a syringe and inject an anesthetic into Todoroki's bloodstream.
"Oh Todoroki. You still really love your mommy don't you? It was an easy memory for me to exploit. Now I don't know who you brought with you but honestly I'm sure my new friend can take care of her. After all he can copy the Quirk of anyone he touches. Makes me wonder if he could use One For All if he ever copied the power of Deku..."
Hijoshiki dragged Todoroki away as Momo meanwhile hid from Monoma as he tried to make more weapons from his fat cells. Momo grabbed one of her snacks, a chocolate bar and scarfed it down to replenish her fat cells while she tried to think of a plan.
"Alright calm yourself down Momo. If I remember correctly Monoma can't use another person's Quirk for more than five minutes so I just need to wait him out until he needs to touch me again." Momo thought to herself as she moved to a new hiding place. Monoma walked into the room with a chainsaw in hand and his psychotic grin growing even bigger.
"Class 1-B will win by any means necessary!" Yelled Monoma.
"What is with Monoma? Has he gone insane?" Momo thought to herself as she realized that she's getting into more trouble than she initially thought.
