Hello, and welcome to the next chapter!
StrikerTj; Yeah, I'm getting better. Here's the next chapter!
ShadowUzumaki55; He surely is yeah, he's got a few things that he needs to do. Yeah, good thing Sir Nighteye is helping him out. It is sad for her huh. Yup, she's surely helping both Ochaco, and Izumi out with their abilities. He's even getting in combinations with Tsuyu.
issei; Yup, quite the combo!
Anime PJ; Yeah, it's gonna get quite wild in this chapter.
Roxas Itsuka; They have yeah, it seems that the Meta Army are on the move. Twice and Rensuke have a nice relationship with one another huh. Ochaco and Rensuke are gaining more of a close relationship huh~? I'm sure that Nighteye would become very shocked when he learns about Rensuke's past. Dabi might have come to a realization yeah. It was a bit of a sad one, learning a few things about various characters.
Okushi; Thanks for the tips, I'll search them up! And thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying it!
Silver crow; Thanks very much! Yeah, they have some reservations. Maybe someday we will. Yeah we got a small hint to that. It's quite ironic huh. Probably yeah, I'd say Tsu is a better swimmer, but thanks to his Quirk, Rensuke can swim quite well. I can't reveal much about that, but it seems like they had some sort of relationship huh. Rensuke and Twice have a fun relationship~ A name for the team huh, I'll have to think of one. Yeah he's helping Ochaco out with her power. He did yeah, Dabi's learning not to anger Rensuke or attack his team. He did yeah, we'll see more of their relationship this chapter. Yup, Rensuke's no fool, we'll see how far he planned ahead this chapter. Those ideas look cool for Code Geass, though I only know some of it, I haven't watched it all yet. The Marvel idea seems cool, and I like both Marvel and DC for different reasons. Perhaps he could give Rappa some Quirks in the future. She could beat Tetsutetsu yeah~ Momo could gain courage from Rensuke yeah. Those look like cool ideas for Black Clover. Pokemon ideas seem pretty good to me also!
Andrew123456; Yeah, that looks like a good idea to me!
Well, with those lovely reviews out of the way, it's time to start the chapter!
Battle at Shoowayasha!
Having a face down with Chitose, and Geten, Chitose snapped her fingers, so a bunch of people rushed inside. They had Quirks that fired off various projectiles against Rensuke's group, but Gentle got in the way, and used his Quirk on the air, causing it to turn elastic, sending the projectiles right back towards the enemies.
"A Quirk that can repel projectiles like that?"
Chitose was in shock, as Rensuke thrust his hand right, sending off a mass torrent of water which slammed right into all of the men and women that were attacking, the mass of water crushed their bodies against the wall, knocking them all out at the same time due to the pressure.
"Seems like you're not messing around."
Geten said with a sly smile, and stuck out her finger.
Feeling danger coming, Rensuke stepped forward first, and went to shoot off some water.
But as he was, he suddenly noticed that his water was beginning to freeze, and turn into ice.
The ice stopped in its path, and turned directly towards Rensuke and the others.
"It turned to ice?"
Himiko let out with surprise.
Rensuke looked towards Geten who had her hands out.
"It's her, she's using her Quirk."
Geten didn't even deny it, showing a superior expression on her face that was meant to indicate that she was quite intimidating.
"Correct, my Meta Ability can manipulate ice, and freeze any water that's within my range. As I've said, I've been training all of my life, and I wont be beaten by you! Did you think we came here while thinking you wouldn't resist? I was sent here because your Quirk is ineffective against me, any water you produce, I'll freeze it immediately, you wont be able to get past me."
As she said it, she shot the ice forward towards Rensuke and the others, as the Nomu stepped forward on Rensuke's orders, and smashed the ice apart, Geten's eyes narrowing slightly with Rensuke cracking his neck side to side.
"Seems like my Quirk might be ineffective against her...but, it doesn't mean my other skills are!"
Rensuke took out a sword that Himiko handed to him, and rushed forward, while Geten manipulated the water nearby, freezing it and became a shield that was sliced against with Rensuke's sword, forcing Geten backwards slightly.
"Ren-kun, I've got Chitose!"
Himiko rushed forward, and withdrew her knife.
"Shit!"
Chitose let out a breath, and jumped left out of the office doors, as Himiko impaled the wall, then pulled out her knife, twirling it around as she rushed out of the door after Chitose.
"Gentle, La Brava, take the Nomu, and go to assist Himiko-chan! Also, make sure Twice is safe, he'll be essential if we become too damaged!"
"But, Ren!"
Gentle worried for Rensuke, but he shot them a smile.
"Don't worry, I'll be alright. Believe in me!"
Gentle and La Brava began to cry as they nodded, saluting Rensuke who jumped back to avoid several ice shards that Geten had launched towards him. The ice shards pierced the ground, as he landed after them, readying his sword once more.
"R-Right! We'll win Ren!"
"Yes, please survive!"
"I really hate those people that hurt my friend! But I'll fight too!"
Gentle and La Brava shot out of the door with Twice following, leaving Rensuke and Geten alone.
"Alright then, you got us alone. Even with a sword, you can't beat me. My Meta Ability-"
"Is not all you are."
Rensuke defused her with those words.
"Y-Yes you are! The power of your Meta Ability, determines what standing you have in society!"
As she said it, Rensuke twirled his blade around.
"Come on then Ice Queen, show me what you've got."
"I'll freeze you solid!"
Geten's eyes flared as she controlled more ice, shooting off several spheres of ice for Rensuke all at once. Responding to that, Rensuke dashed forward, and his blade sliced through the first ice structure, and carried on towards Geten's body.
Quickly forming a shield of ice, she allowed the ice balls she shot off to change direction, and came back towards him, this time having spikes coming out of them, so Rensuke leapt up into the air, stabbing into the ceiling, and used his Water to smash through the ceiling itself, gaining distance as the ice balls came shooting towards Rensuke.
But the hole wasn't big enough for the ice balls, and were stabbed into the ceiling, with some of the ice piercing far enough to cut Rensuke's leg. He winced at the feeling as he quickly moved through the office that he had come into, with several giant spears of ice tearing through the roof in order to stab him.
"You're gonna have to do better than that Geten!"
Geten felt her blood boiling when he said that, and she jumped out of the window, using her ice as a platform, flying up into the air, and used it to peer into the window, seeing Rensuke already shooting off several water blades towards her.
"You have to realize, that your water isn't going to do anything other than freeze when it is shot at me."
"You do realize that I'm not a one trick pony, right?"
While attempting to freeze it, she suddenly saw something mixed into the water, and it seemed to be a small sphere which contained some of Katsuki's explosive sweat, which began to erupt, and explode, the forming ice shattered before her eyes, and knocked her backwards ever so slightly.
While it did, Rensuke jumped out of the window, landing on the ice, and got close with his blade, slashing towards her body, so she used the ice she had as a platform to become a shield, not realizing that the ice was thinning due to that, and blocked the sword.
Her heart beat increased as Rensuke smirked.
"What are you smirking for?"
"Ice as brittle as this, shatters!"
Rensuke stomped downwards with his incredible strength despite not having a strength enhancing Quirk, and broke through the ice, causing both of them to fall down to the ground, several stories up in the air.
"Aaaaaah!"
Geten let out a cry as Rensuke flipped in the air, pulling out some kind of grappling hook, shooting it for a nearby building, and swung towards the abandoned building in the dead of night, crashing through the window, and slammed against the floor.
"Ow, that's smarts..."
He winced as Geten began manipulating water, allowing it to be frozen under her feet, turning it into a platform for her to ride on, exhaling slowly, at the feeling that she nearly came close to death, with someone who hadn't even used his Quirk on her.
Allowing her body to go up into the air, she manipulated more and more ice, as Rensuke stood up, looking out to see the young woman peering at him with a calm expression on her form, several giant ice spears being shown, and pointed towards him.
"A Meta Ability doesn't determine your power, does it not?"
"It's how you use your powers, is the way that you can win a fight."
He spoke while Geten thought that it was provocation.
"Hmph, I'll show you you're wrong, by your death!"
Geten unleashed a giant spear of ice that went ripping through the buildings ceiling and aimed for him.
"Geez, you're serious, aren't you?"
Rensuke quickly rushed backwards, dodging the spear of ice, but then saw more and more coming for him, so he continued running, jumping left when seeing the spear coming, only to duck when Geten shot off shards of sharp ice towards his body, which pierced the back wall.
"Stay still boy!"
Geten continued her assault, with several more spears being unleashed towards him, destroying the floor that his body was on with excessive force, forcing Rensuke to fall through the ground, onto a lower floor, which was comprised of mostly tables, seemingly looking like a conference room, he also saw a few doors, one leading to some stairs, as he thought about what he was going to be doing next.
"No, sorry, wont stay still."
But he took it in his stride, and landed with grace, quickly seeing a wooden table, stabbing into it, and began swinging for Geten's body outside of the window as she took aim towards Rensuke once more.
"Come on then!"
Rensuke kicked the table off the blade at the same time it was nearing Geten's general area, and shot the table right for Geten who muttered "It's useless." and cut down the table with a wave of ice.
But when she did, she saw that Rensuke had disappeared from the area he was in.
"W-Where has he gone?!"
She demanded, shooting into the building herself, and used ice to piece around areas that Rensuke could hide in.
However, all of them didn't reveal his location.
He stayed hidden quite well.
"Come out, right now!"
She yelled, but didn't get a reply.
Rensuke had already gone down a set of stairs that was nearby, a set of emergency evacuation stairs.
He got down two flights of stairs, when he heard something from up above.
It was Geten who shot through the door Rensuke came out of previously, and turned her hands downwards with the mass of ice following her body, Rensuke nodding to himself, seeing that she was looking a little angered.
"You wont get away from me!"
From her hands, giant ice gauntlets come from her hands, and smash their way through the stairs with ease. Seeing the ice destroying even the stairs, Rensuke had to compliment the woman for the usage of her Quirk.
Rensuke felt the stairs below him suddenly come under assault, and saw Geten had used skewers of ice to destroy the support structure of the stairs, and they broke through, but Rensuke stabbed into the wall of the building, just enough for the stairs to fall, while he clung onto the blades handle, suspending him from the giant hole Geten had created.
"Seriously, what is your blade made out of?!"
"Can't you see, I'm using my water to increase the cutting power of the blade. You're not the only one who's trained with their Quirk."
"Meta Ability."
"Whatever, same difference Geten-san."
Changing tactics, Geten summoned ice to form hands, and shot them for Rensuke in an attempt to grab him.
He went to respond with water, but knew she'd freeze it instantly and would give her more firepower, so he saved that for the moment, and pulled himself up so he perched himself on his blade, then he used water very briefly from his feet, to propel him up into the air for Geten herself, while yanking the sword out of the wall.
Geten readied to attack. But by the time that she was going to release her attack, he was already on her ice platform, and stabbed towards her leg, which she formed an ice shield to block, so he tightened his free hand, and propelled it with a burst of water, smashing his fist deeply into her body, causing her to cough up bile, and sent her flying through a nearby door, smashing through it and forcing her to hit the ground.
Rensuke controlled the ice that he was stood on, and took that control away from Geten.
"Though you control ice, I control all forms of water, so don't even try it with me, Geten."
Geten rubbed her lip, and saw that some blood had been coughed up as well as bile.
"You made me bleed...even though you didn't use your Meta Ability for more than second, you still landed a blow on me..."
"Quirks, are something that factors into the way your fighting style is yes. But you also have to understand, like I've said in the past, people have weak Quirks and they can't defend themselves. Who are going to defend them? Someone needs to be there to keep them safe, and that's going to be me, and my group, I'll take down every evil Villain if I have to by myself. Every evil Hero. Because I'm going to be the one who truly changes this world, for my Mother's sake."
Geten felt something bubbling inside of her briefly for what she had said.
But then she shook her head.
She didn't look pleased in the slightest.
Because of what he was saying, it sounded as if he was truly trying to defy her leader, someone she looked up to.
Her anger grew at the sight before her, and her ice control grew higher, forming what seemed to be a giant fist of ice.
"You might be good, but you can't use your Meta Ability like this, because I'll always freeze it. You can try to outrun me, but this is the end result. The power that we have, is endless, our army is forever, and we'll build a better society by crushing the weak."
Rensuke controlled the platform he was on, and shot up into the air, seeing the giant hand smashing right through the wall itself.
Geten wasn't messing around.
The ice hand turned upwards towards Rensuke who saw it coming for him.
Knowing that he wouldn't be able to use his water to combat the ice, he decided to fly back into the room he came out of from before, and ditched the ice, using it to freeze the door solid, so it would take Geten an extra few seconds to get through.
Rensuke quickly searched through a draw, and saw what he needed.
He turned to see the ice being ripped off of the door he had frozen shut, and saw Geten's giant ice hand smashing through the walls, revealing Geten riding behind it on a new sheet of ice, her eyes on his form condescendingly.
"Here you are, little boy. I have to admit, you're quite cute."
"Ooh, thank you Geten-san, you're not so bad yourself."
"But, you're wrong. Power is what is needed in this world."
"Indeed. But power is supposed to be used for those who don't have it."
"I guess, like you, right now, huh?"
Rensuke raised an eyebrow.
"Like me huh?"
"That's right, you don't have a leg to stand on. Your ability is sealed, your movements will be sealed. Your friends are going to die, you have nowhere to turn to, you are going to be finished now. Did you really think you'd be able to beat the army? The leader is stronger than I am, the army is large and vast. You cannot hope to grasp our power."
"Geez, you're quite talkative about your own powers, but you have a few shortcomings."
"And those are?"
Geten demanded, as Rensuke revealed what he seemed to be a tomato.
Geten became confused as Rensuke threw it forward, and the contents of the tomato, the juices, burst outwards, shooting right for Geten's eyes at high speeds, causing her to gasp, and then be hit in the eyes by the juices of the tomato blinding her briefly.
"My eyes!"
Because of the sudden assault on her eyes, Rensuke managed to run forward, his hand fully on her giant ice hand, and used his own Quirk to shatter the giant ice hand, and manipulate the breaking shards, shooting them right for Geten.
Geten let out a cry as she was bombarded by ice, slamming against several places, in places Rensuke knew would damage her the most, like her arms, and legs, her torso among other places, and with the thickness of the ice, it damaged Geten's body quite a bit.
She was then sent shooting through the stairwell that had been destroyed thanks to Geten from before, sending her hurdling down hole that used to be the stairs.
Rensuke licked off some tomato juice from his hand, and muttered "Lets call the whole thing off~" as he exhaled, hoping that the others would be alright.
But as he was mentally celebrating, he suddenly saw a sharp thick piece of head heading for him. He went to react, but the ice managed to stab into his stomach by the time he summoned his water, and blew it away.
Then he saw a few more coming, but when he tried to use his water, it froze so he had to take the blade he had, and slice through the ice daggers, receiving a cut to the cheek, and a thin trail of blood leaked down his cheek, but he managed to take down the other ice shards while bleeding from his abdomen.
Geten came floating up, and began freezing Rensuke's water once more, bleeding from the impacts she received.
Rensuke felt his stomach also bleeding as Geten's eyes sharpened.
"You ready to finish this?!"
Rensuke panted, looking down at his stomach, then towards the enemy before him.
Knowing that he'd have to fight, he stood tall, and looked ready to take up arms.
"Lets do this."
With his words, Rensuke prepared for battle once more, clutching his sword tightly.
Meanwhile, Himiko chased down Chitose who was running away from her. Taking out a knife, she aimed it towards Chitose, who looked back to see the blade coming for her, so she quickly dodged out of the way, but received a harsh cut to her cheek, drawing some blood from her face.
Himiko grinned, and said "Blood, yes please!" and came shooting at her.
However, Chitose stuck out her hand, and some box formed around her hand, slamming it against Himiko who received it to her upper body, and it exploded, sending her backwards.
Himiko looked down and despite having received a blow to the body, it didn't seem to have caused much damage.
The explosions themselves hadn't done much to damage her.
Yet, she did receive some.
"Himiko-chan!"
Gentle called while Chitose ground her teeth.
"Go and fight the others in the building with the Nomu, Gentle, La Brava, Twice. I've got this bitch."
"A-Are you sure?"
La Brava was concerned, but Himiko waved her off.
"We can't have her calling for backup, nor the others either. They might have an army, but we've got a Nomu. I've got this woman, leave her to me. She's also got some strange Quirk, I'll deal with it myself. Block off the exits so they can't escape. I'm sure Ren-kun would say the same."
La Brava and Gentle knew that she was right, but they didn't want to leave Himiko on her form.
Twice glared at Chitose, and announced "Himiko-chan is going to kill you!" then he showed a love heart with his fingers. "Lets date~" Chitose just glared at him.
Knowing though that's what she wanted, the three of them directed the Nomu downwards, and smashed it through several stairs, while swinging its arms outwards, and collided with their bodies of the incoming members of the army, and sent them slamming into a wall with Gentle and La Brava following after them.
Himiko turned towards Chitose who scowled at her.
"So, you're a friend of Rensuke-kun are you?"
"I'm more than a friend, bitch."
Himiko twirled her knife towards Chitose who continued to scowl.
"You're an odd girl. How about an interview?"
"How about no?"
Himiko replied while showing a toothy grin.
Chitose's scowl grew on her face.
"Seriously, brats nowadays. Tell me, what's your name exactly?"
"You want to know the name of your killer? Fine, my name is Himiko Toga, I'm the right hand woman to Ren-kun, the boy that's going to change the world."
Chitose wore surprise on her face.
"Why are you willing to go to that great of lengths for him? It's suicide coming here."
"Suicide? Is it? I didn't realize, because I simply don't care. Ren-kun gave me the means to live life that I wish. I can do anything I want with Ren-kun and he'll still look at me with love, and kindness. He'll always love me, and I'll always love him. You're the one who's going to be ended here."
Himiko rushed forward as Chitose looked on angrily.
But then as Himiko passed by a certain wall, Chitose snapped her fingers, and the wall beside Himiko exploded, forcing Himiko off balance, while Chitose lunged forward, and punched Himiko in the right hand side, using her Quirk to explode Himiko's side, and drew some blood from the attack, and sent Himiko down to the ground.
"H-How did you do that?"
Chitose let out a small laugh.
"My Meta Ability is something that might not be that flashy, but used in the right way, and everything around me becomes a weapon. You walked into enemies territory, this area is filled with my Quirk, this entire building. We knew that Rensuke-kun would be difficult, and I made sure that it would be the best area for our side to fight and the worse side for Rensuke-kun to fight. Admittedly, we didn't know about you guys, I guess that he was smarter than we had given credit for."
"Of course he is, he's been hunted all his life, he always comes out on top."
Chitose raised an eyebrow.
"What do you mean?"
Himiko tightened the blade around her hand, and then began lunging for Chitose.
"As if I'd tell you!"
Himiko got close to Chitose, lunging from the left, so Chitose rose her fist, and blocked with the metal glove she wore, sparks going off between them. Himiko then skidded right, and sliced forward, Chitose pulled backwards, and received a small cut to her abdomen, but she avoided a fatal stabbing.
But as she lunged backwards, Himiko had sent off all four of her blades that came from her blood machine on her back, all of them heading for Chitose. She avoided three of them, but the last one struck into her leg, and made her wince.
"Get over here!"
Chitose felt her leg being pulled from the blood machines wire stuck in her, as it was yanked out, she fell down to the ground, so Himiko managed to get above her, with her knife getting ready to be plunged downwards.
"N-No! Get off me!"
Himiko didn't care, and stabbed downwards…
Chitose raised her hand, and received a knife wound to the hand, but she then punched Himiko in the chest, and exploded her off of her body.
Feeling the wounds on her body, Chitose walked towards the stairs with a small limp.
Himiko rolled backwards, getting to her feet with injuries on her chest, seeing Chitose heading for the stairs.
"Oh no you don't you cow!"
Himiko went to stab Chitose, but the ground suddenly began to explode, more and more, with heavy cracks appearing in the ground itself, and eventually, fell through the ground, to the lower level.
Himiko looked up towards her, with Chitose showing a dirty grin on her face.
"Did you forget, that this is our building? You wont be walking out of here alive!"
Himiko grit her teeth, showing an annoyed expression and knew that Chitose could have rigged the entire building to explode. All around her, she was caught, so she would have to be careful going forward.
Meanwhile, Gentle, La Brava, Twice and the Nomu were smashing their way through the building, taking people out left and right, with the Nomu's strength beating most of the people that could even stand in its way.
"It's a good thing that we have the Nomu." La Brava said, seeing another person being swatted away. "We should leave the Nomu to fight these people. We need to get to the exits."
"No, you stay with the Nomu, La Brava. Also keep Twice safe, as Ren wishes for."
"But Gentle..."
"He's very strong, he'll be able to keep yourself safe and Twice. I couldn't take it if anything happened to you."
La Brava began to blush at what he said.
He cared for her safety.
It was touching, sweet…
"G-Gentle...please survive! Okay?! I couldn't take it if something happened!"
"Haha, don't worry about me, our leader, and Himiko-chan are dealing with their own bad guys, I'll make sure no one can escape!"
With giving commands to the Nomu, La Brava watched as Gentle rushed towards the lowest floor.
Twice looked to La Brava, and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Are you single?"
"Yes...no...I don't know! Lets get going!"
Twice let out a "I hate you!" then "I love you!" as they sped off.
Once Gentle got there, he saw that there were a few people attempting to escape.
Quickly thinking, Gentle created a trampoline in the air, and shot off at high speeds, and delivered a punch to one of the men's heads, then he used his Quirk on the air opposite, and turned his body to move differently.
Speeding forward, Gentle delivered multiple blows in different directions, hitting each of the men and women who tried to fight back, but their Quirks couldn't reach him due to the speed he was moving thanks to using his Quirk on the air, and bouncing around.
Soon enough, all men and women were on the ground from Gentle's assault, with Gentle landing near the exit/entrance.
Then he raised his hands in the air, creating several elasticated barriers, which he brought down onto the men and women. Several of the barriers layered on top of the other, and soon enough, they all became pinned under the barriers, save for one man who was able to dodge out of the side.
"Gentle Sandwich shall keep you pinned."
He declared boldly, but the man that rolled away looked on with a strong gaze.
"You think you can get by me?"
Gentle watched as the man's body began to go through a change. He gained a purple colouring to his skin, and his body enlarged. His muscles grew to be thick in size, as was his legs, then his eyes turned towards Gentle.
"So you've beefed up! But it wont be enough for me!"
As he said it, the man rushed forward at a high speed. His size had also increased his speed, and he lunged for Gentle, who barely dodged out of the way with his Quirk turning the ground elastic. But when he was flying into the air, the man's hand quickly reached up and grabbed Gentle's leg, suspending him in mid air.
"You wont leave here alive!"
The man brought down Gentle's body, and slammed him down into the ground.
Gentle let out a wince at the feeling, and saw the man's hand tightening around Gentle's leg, crushing said leg.
"Aaaaaah!"
Gentle let out a small crying sound from the pain he received.
But he took out a knife, and quickly pierced the man's hand, forcing his hand to open, and he slid his leg out. Despite feeling pained, he managed to get to his feet, and rush backwards as the beast like man followed after him.
Seeing him coming, Gentle dodged left, and avoided the man's punch that created a shock wave in the air, then he grabbed onto a pillar in the lobby area, turning it into elastic, as the beast man lunged for Gentle himself.
Gentle pulled the pillar backwards, enough for the pillar to get in the way of the man himself, and released it, sending it right back towards the beast man, who was caught up by the elastic and snapped towards the ground, smashing heavily into it.
Gentle let out a small panting sound, believing that he'd be able to continue on…
But that wasn't the case.
His eyes turned to the beast man while he began standing up. Gentle barely had time to move, when he got in close, and punched Gentle in the face, sending him smashing through a pillar that he hadn't turned elastic.
Slamming on the ground, Gentle felt himself bleeding, and his back felt sore from the impact.
But he didn't give up.
He couldn't give up.
He had things to do.
Placing a barrier of elastic air before him, he took out some debris from the crashing into the pillar, and launch them towards the enemy before him. Said man simply smashes through the debris like it was nothing, and takes aim at Gentle.
Quickly thinking, Gentle turns his cage into elastic, and flings it before him, the man's fist entering the cape, and was then flung backwards, but the man flips in the air, landing perfectly on the ground and takes aim once more.
"You wont win against me!"
Gentle watches as the man rushed forward once more.
Knowing the same trick wouldn't work twice, he elasticated the ground, and bounced off it in time for the beast man to come swinging forward, his body going up into the air, with the beast man unwillingly following.
"W-What?!"
"Have this!"
Gentle forces his foot downwards as the man came upwards, his foot colliding with the man's face, and sent him hurdling down to the ground, where he was bounced upwards once more, allowing Gentle to take another swing at him.
But when he did, the man blocked with his arm, and showed a dark grin.
"I've got it, you can't beat me now!"
Gentle's eyes widened, and received a terrible blow to his torso, sending him flying across the ground, and smashed into the elevator doors, with blood coming out of his mouth.
Gentle felt his body being worn down.
He couldn't do much.
The punch had caused a good deal of damage.
But still, he had to do something.
Anything to win.
His friends were counting on him.
The beast like man came back down to the ground, and his fist tightened.
"This is it, puny man, you wont escape now."
Gentle tried to move, but his body felt sore.
The man then rushed towards Gentle with his fist tightened.
As he rushed forward, La Brava had come back with the Nomu and Twice, and saw the state Gentle was in.
Seeing his damaged body, his eyes fading away…
She couldn't take it.
Her love burst forth, announcing it to Gentle with tears in her eyes.
"Danjuro-kun! I love yoooooooooooooou!"
Gentle suddenly felt a surge of power entering his body, and turned his eyes towards the man coming in, as power leaked off of him. His hand rose, and caught the attack that came for him, stopping it all together, with his strengthened hand, causing the beast man to stop.
"W-What…?"
"Sorry, my La Brava is counting on me, I wont be losing to you!"
Gentle forced the hand back, and propelled himself forward with his Quirk on the air. Using his new found strength and speed, he quickly blitzed the man himself, using different areas around the battlefield to move from, and did it unpredictably so the beast man couldn't attempt to stop him.
His hands and feet clashed with the man several times, each blow forcing his body to bend to Gentle's will, and then Gentle aimed the final blow from above, swinging down his foot, and clashed heavily with the man's head, slamming it down onto the ground, and into an unconscious state.
But as he did, Gentle fell down to the ground, as La Brava rushed over.
"Gentle! Are you alright!?"
La Brava showed her concerned for him, and looked deeply into his eyes.
He appreciated it, and showed his smile back.
"I'm fine...did you complete the mission?"
"Y-Yes of course, I had to come back to help you though..."
"Haha...I'm alright, don't worry about me...but, I wonder how our comrades are doing right now…? I hope they're okay..."
La Brava also hoped the same thing, that they'd be alright.
La Brava then turned to Twice.
"Twice, use your Quirk, and make a copy of Ren."
"Aah, my friend! Yes of course, I always could speak to Ren Ren~"
La Brava watched as Twice made a clone. Because he had gotten Rensuke's measurements before, he made a perfect copy of Rensuke, who bent down and began healing the wounds that Gentle had, something Rensuke had planned for. So he could go all out, he'd have Twice use his clone to heal his allies if they got damaged, and made sure to save it until the last moment, in case there was someone who could take out the clone.
But with this, Rensuke's clone could heal after the battle had been done.
Back with Himiko, she stared angrily up towards Chitose who showed a dirty smile on her face.
"Himiko, was it?"
"That's my business, not yours."
She growled out, Chitose snickered.
"Tell me, why did you become apart of Rensuke-kun's little group? I was just curious, you mentioned something about it before, how about elaborating on it?"
"As I said, don't even start with me Chitose. Flirting with Ren-kun like that, you must be on something if you think you'll be able to beat us all. We might be small in number, but we've got strong abilities."
Chitose didn't look thrilled by what was being said.
"Don't worry, Himiko, you'll not suffer all that long."
Chitose picked up some debris from nearby, tossing them into the hole, as Himiko got to her feet, seeing that they were exploding in the air. Himiko managed to avoid the first wave, but Chitose continued snapping her fingers, and the ceiling above her, began to explode, and send the heavy debris down towards him.
"Destroying your own building, I didn't expect that!"
Himiko flipped forward, avoiding some debris, but Chitose changed tactics, and had the ceiling before her, explode, and caused a blockage, before more debris fell down towards her, forcing Himiko to pull backwards due to not being able to go forward, but some of the ceiling hit her shoulder hard, and caused her to wince at the feeling.
But she didn't stop going back, seeing Chitose in her sights through the opening of the roof, taking out a small blade, aiming true, and threw it at Chitose, who hadn't expected it, and received a piercing through the shoulder, and made her cry out.
"Aaaaah! Y-You bitch! Seriously?!"
"Takes one to know one!"
Himiko snapped, while seeing her shoulder was bleeding.
But even then, Himiko went to run forward, when the wall beside her exploded, forcing her through another wall that also exploded, bouncing her back and forth, until she went through the first wall that exploded, and made him let out a cry at the explosions.
Despite not being strong, they still packed quite a punch.
She felt herself bleeding from the impacts, along with the explosions.
But she still didn't give up, and recalled that Rensuke was counting on her.
She wouldn't lose to Chitose.
There was no way that she could do.
Chitose came running through the broken corridor, and thought that Himiko would be at least stunned.
But when she got there…
Himiko wasn't there at all.
"W-What?!"
Chitose looked left and right into the area that Himiko was going to be in, but she wasn't there.
However, Himiko then came up from above, with her knife swinging downwards.
"Aaaaah!"
Chitose felt her shoulder be stabbed, and she let out a small cry from the impact, but she turned around, grabbing Himiko's shirt.
"Sorry bitch, but you're going down."
Himiko said it while twisting her knife in Chitose's shoulder.
Now both shoulders of Chitose had been stabbed, and she felt a bit dizzy from the impact of the knife attack she had received.
But she didn't give up, and glared at Himiko.
"I'm apart of the Meta Liberation Army, and I wont be beaten by you!"
Chitose punched her with her box like weapon, causing the small protrusions on said box, to all explode in Himiko's chest, forcing Himiko backwards, through the wall, and landed on the ground heavily.
Chitose then looked on with a dirty look.
"What kind of fall do you think it would take for you to die? A few stories? We're quite high aren't we? If you fell from a four story, would you die? Because that's what's going to happen right here, and now."
Himiko looked back towards Chitose, and glared hard.
She wasn't going to be finished here.
She couldn't die by Chitose's hands.
She began pulling her body up from the ground, while Chitose allowed Himiko's shirt to explode, and sent her down into the ground, with a cry from Himiko, and wounds coming over Himiko's form.
Chitose then walked forward, and slammed her foot into her stomach, causing her to cough up bile.
"Sorry little girl, but you're a liability, you can't keep going forward."
Himiko peered up to Chitose while she was being pinned down.
She slowly reached out for something within her blood machine, pulling out a vial.
Chitose looked confused on why Himiko had some blood on her.
Himiko though began shedding a few tears, as she kissed the vial.
"In the end Ren-kun...I couldn't do it...I tried my best...even then, I still..."
Himiko continued to cry while she drunk the blood.
Chitose lowered her eyebrows as she stepped backwards.
She watched as Himiko's face began to turn into Rensuke's own.
"A Transformation Quirk..."
She murmured, as Himiko's face now became Rensuke's face.
"I'll die, while wearing the face of the man I love..."
Chitose pulled backwards even more, and got towards a safe location as Himiko remembered the many times she had enjoyed spending with Rensuke.
The love that she felt for him.
How he had been there…
Rain fell down on top of Himiko as she strolled the streets. Barely a teenager, she didn't have many places to go. Everyone had considered her to be 'abnormal' due to her fascination and love of blood.
But she didn't care.
She loved the sensation of blood, she loved the feelings it gave her inside.
As she strolled the streets, she noticed that she was being followed, so she quickly took out a knife.
Her bloodlust filled her with the desire to slay the person that was attacking her.
So when it came to confronting that person, she turned, and went to attack that person, when he saw that it was man with large muscles, and his eyes gave off a murderous intent, lunging at her with his own blade.
She parried the blade, and was forced backwards, when he kicked her in the torso and she fell backwards onto the ground.
Her eyes blinked as he turned towards her with a dark grin on his face.
"Little girls shouldn't be running around in the darkness like this. I only found you due to my Quirk."
Himiko didn't seem to care, and got back off the ground, rushing him with a slashing motion.
However, some more of the man's allies came out of the shadows, and attacked Himiko.
She managed to stab one of them in the torso, and duck a blow from another, then slam her foot upwards, kicking him hard in the chin and brought up off the ground.
But another used their tongue to become like a web, and wrapped around her, her eyes widening in shock.
Though she didn't feel scared, she knew that because of this incident, she probably was going to be mugged, and possibly killed.
However, when the man with the Infrared Ray Quirk came closer with his knife, a sudden voice called out.
"Hey, picking on girls is wrong you know?"
They froze, as they turned around to see who it was.
Seeing it was a boy with blue and blonde hairs, their eyes narrowed angrily.
"Don't become involved brat."
"Sorry, but you have the Quirk Infrared Ray, don't you?"
The man snarled as he answered.
"That's not your business!"
"If that's you, then your Quirk, belongs to my Father. He needs a new way to see."
"I don't know what you're talking about, but I can't let you move forward!"
He said while the tongue Quirk user turned towards the boy, and bound him.
The Infrared Ray user rushed the boy, and went to stab the boy, who chortled, as the water began to stop in the air.
Himiko was bewildered as the rain water began spinning all around the men that had attacked her, and catching each and everyone of them. They fell onto the whirlpool which was moving above their heads.
Himiko saw that the enemies were being cut by the attack, and then she saw their blood.
Looking intrigued, he pointed his finger downwards, slamming them into the pavement.
Most of them were knocked out, besides the man with the Infrared Ray Quirk.
Though he was on the verge of it, he could still see, and turned his eyes onto Himiko.
"Damn brat...such a Quirk...even then, I wont die by you!"
The boy watched as the guy lunged at Himiko.
Quickly propelling himself forward, he got between Himiko and the knife user, and disarmed the Infrared Ray user and tossed the knife to the side, but the man didn't stop, and head butted Rensuke so hard that he drew some blood from his forehead.
Himiko's eyes widened even more as Rensuke merely slammed a volley of water towards him, knocking him fully unconscious.
He turned to Himiko, who noticed that he was bleeding, and it was running down his head, and face.
Instincts came over her, and she quickly stood, taking his head, and lightly licked the cut he had.
The boy let out a small laugh.
"Hey, that tickles~"
Himiko looked into his eyes, seeing that he didn't possess anything like hatred, or disgust.
He seemed to be genuinely ticklish from her lick.
Pulling backwards, Himiko examined the boys body up and down while he showed some concern for her.
"Are you okay? You're not hurt, are you?"
"Hurt...no, I'm not hurt. You're hurt...you're bleeding..."
The boy raised an eyebrow.
"Can I, take you home?"
"Home? I don't have one of them anymore."
"You don't? I'm sorry about that." The boy offered his hand towards her, as he gained a large smile. "Come with me, I'll take care of you, if you wish."
Himiko looked between his hand, his body and his bleeding cut.
Her emotions began to stir inside of her.
He wasn't disgusted by her.
"Do you...think I'm weird for what I did when licking your blood?"
"What's normal anyway? Normal is whatever the individual decides it to be. If you want to lick blood, then lick blood."
Those words hit her like bullets.
They rang true within her.
With the rain falling between them, the boy takes off his coat and puts it around her.
"Come on, I'll make sure you're okay now."
She trusted him.
His demeanour, the kindness he displayed.
But most of all...he accepted her normal, without question, without disgust. It was just something Himiko was, and he didn't even seem to be bothered.
Seeing his hand, she took it in her own, and her face grew into a smile, but also, her cheeks turned bright red, feeling things, she hadn't quite before.
Snapping out of her memory, Himiko's face smiled.
Despite her pain, she remembered the first time she had met Rensuke.
How he had accepted her without question.
How he had saved her without question.
How he had given her a place to call home without question.
How she fell in love with him, without any doubt inside of her.
Because, to him, and her, normal is what that person perceived as normal, and right now, she couldn't leave what she loved behind.
She couldn't die here.
Chitose muttered "Goodbye." and went to set off her explosions on multiple floors to drop Himiko to her death…
But Himiko didn't give up, and despite the pain she was in, rushed forward at Chitose.
Giving her no time to set off the explosions and due to being caught by surprise, Chitose attempted to punch Himiko, but Himiko threw her own blood that were on her fingers into Chitose's eyes, blinding her.
"Aaaah!"
"Have this!"
Using that chance, Himiko pierced Chitose's right hand side deeply, causing Chitose's eyes to widen in shock.
"N-No! G-Get off me!"
Chitose tried to move her hand, but Himiko twisted the knife in her, causing Chitose to stop and let out a cry of pain as Himiko reeled her hand upwards.
"You underestimated me then. You thought I was down, but I'd not go down until you did. But you also did the unforgivable. Attacking my Ren-kun, I wont ever let anyone kill Ren-kun!"
Himiko slammed her fist deeply into Chitose's face, and the impact, along with hitting the floor, caused Chitose to fall unconscious.
Himiko panted, and felt herself succumbing to the pain and injuries that she had.
She felt the face she had, melting away, and returning her from Rensuke's face, to her own.
She then fell beside Chitose, and fell onto her back.
Her fingers grabbed the phone in her pocket, and revealed a picture of herself, and Rensuke, being together.
Shaking due to the wounds, Himiko began laughing quietly.
"I did it...Ren-kun, I'll never...leave you..."
She also fell unconscious from the damage that she had received, but despite that, she had a content smile, knowing that she won.
Back with Rensuke, he watched as Geten formed large fists of ice. The fists took up over half of the size of the building. Her eyes went towards his own, while he himself looked on with a calm expression on his face.
"I wont lose here."
"But you are going to lose."
Geten spoke with harsh words.
But Rensuke didn't seem to care.
He was prepared for anything that was to come for him.
"You can be cold if you want, but I still have things I need to do. I have family waiting for me. My Mother, my cousin, my Himiko-chan, Danjuro-kun, Manami-san and Jin-kun as well. All of them are counting on me to come back, and I will come back to them."
Geten began to laugh as if she found something funny.
"If that's the case, then I can't wait for you to see the power of our leader. If you can't beat me, then you can't win now. You never could win against me."
"Is that right?"
The girl nodded and sent off her giant ice fists for Rensuke's body.
Because of his injuries, Rensuke was forced to move backwards, and avoid the fists, but they smashed their way through everything so Rensuke went to jump out of the window, when ice formed before him, and became a wall that he couldn't cross.
He then turned to see the ice coming for him, so he stuck out his hand, and placed it against the ice itself, to destroy parts of it by controlling the water, but he received the full impact of the fist, sending him smashing through the floor, and to lower levels of the ground.
Then the second fist came shooting down towards him, so he dodged left, but his right leg got caught in the attack, smashing it down into the ground, and made him wince at the feeling, but Geten was surprised.
"Your leg should have broke from that..."
Rensuke looked up towards her, and smirked.
"Sorry, I'm not dying that quickly."
Geten looked even more angered than before, and turned the hands back onto Rensuke's form.
Rensuke began running once more, while trying to come up with a plan of attack.
"She's capable of freezing my water, my Quirk can't reach her. Even if I can take control over her ice, she's still got quite the range, she's able to use water from many sources it seems. Even the water pipes under the ground from what I saw outside...and she seems to be able to freeze it faster than my attacks reach her...I need to think of something..."
Rensuke dodged left, and sliced through part of the ice hand that she had made, chopping off an ice finger, then turned it into a spear, launching it for Geten, who blocked with an ice wall, Rensuke noticing however that she was getting more tired by the minute.
She could use her powerful Quirk alright, but even she had limits.
Rensuke then rushed forward at Geten, who snickered, turning several skewers of ice towards Rensuke, shooting them off in several a second, each coming from different directions. Despite bleeding from his stomach, Rensuke twirled his blade around, and sliced through several of the skewers.
Geten looked stunned that he could still do that, despite being wounded.
He was moving as if he hadn't suffered a stab wound at all.
But one did manage to get through, and pieced through his right thigh, something that she smirked at.
"Seems like you're not going to last any longer."
Even though she said it, Rensuke didn't care, and dislodged the skewer from his thigh, and saw the ice with the crimson colour of his blood on it.
He then turned to Geten who was readying more and more of her ice spears for his body.
Rensuke knew he wouldn't be able to dodge them all.
His body had been stabbed, his leg had a big wound and he wouldn't be able to move as well as he did before.
Geten looked down towards him, and saw that he wasn't even attempting to move out of the way.
"Are you resigning to your fate?"
Rensuke didn't answer.
All he could think about was his Mother, and how she wouldn't be saved.
How Yuki wouldn't be saved.
How he had failed to help them…
"Hehehe, come on, my baby~"
Dazzling.
His Mother always was like that when she was acting cheerful.
Even now as he ran beside her, within a field of flowers, her long blue hair waving in the air, her dazzling multicoloured eyes that was a very recognizable feature and they shined beautifully.
She was using her Quirk to make the flowers shine somehow. He wasn't exactly sure how she was doing it, but with the way that her water was spread out and catching the sun, it looked like the flowers were glowing.
He admired his Mother.
He loved his Mother.
She always made him smile, even at times when he didn't want to smile.
"Aaah!"
He tripped over a root on the ground, and a small cut appeared on his leg.
His Mother immediately rushed back over, and bent down.
Her soothing hand went towards his leg, and saw the small cut.
"M-Mommy...my leg hurts..."
She soothingly petted her sons head, peering into his multicoloured eyes with her own, and her cheerful smile caused him to feel warm inside.
"Oh my, it seems to be a little bad cut." He watched the woman begin using her water, and healed the cut on his leg. "There you go." She then placed her fingers on the small bits of blood that ran down his leg, and to his amazement, it began to come off his body and floating into the air where it was evaporating until it disappeared completely. "See, it's all gone now~"
"Mommy..."
The young woman tilted her head, showing a beautiful smile.
"Yes?"
"How did...you do that? With the blood..."
The woman giggled, hugging her son, and lifted him up.
"Blood, also contains water, that's how I can do it. Everything living in this world contains water, it sustains life. The people that walk around, the very air even contains water. And even these flowers below us, they contain water~ As long as it contains a liquid, I can move it and use it, isn't that cool~?"
Showing a loving smile, the boy felt good.
Even when he felt low, she always made it feel better.
Even when he was scared...she was there to brighten his life.
"Water...Mommy, I love your Quirk..."
"Hehe, and I love you~"
The boy let out a small childish giggle, and laid his head on his Mother's shoulder.
Though their family was small, he still enjoyed every single moment with his Mother...
Coming back to reality, Rensuke remembered that what his Mother taught him.
Everything living contained water.
Everything, even his blood.
Feeling himself bleeding, he looked down at the crimson blood pouring out of him, and touched it, feeling the stickiness of the blood.
"Then, it's time to end this!"
Geten aimed the ice spears.
Rensuke himself just stood there, looking forward towards her.
She fired off her ice spears to skewer Rensuke's form.
She was sure that she was going to succeed now, for her boss.
But suddenly, a crimson coloured wall formed before him, and blocked off the spears of ice.
Shattering upon hitting the crimson wall, and fell down in shards across the ground, her eyes widening in shock.
"Crimson...what is that...your blood? Are you using your own blood to fight?!"
Geten yelled, while Rensuke allowed the crimson liquid to form around him.
"You can freeze water, right? Can you freeze blood? I can control anything that's got some form of liquid inside it, can you also freeze anything with liquid? Or do you just freeze water? My Mother taught me that, all life contains water, and my blood is no exception. I can keep replicating it with my Quirk. You might be able to freeze my water faster than I can reach you, but I'm willing to bet bloods a bit different to due what is contained in blood." Geten pulled backwards as Rensuke pointed his finger towards her. "You seem to be a bit nervous, Geten-san."
Geten felt her rage growing, and aimed her hands towards Rensuke.
"Get back!"
She launched her giant fist of ice for Rensuke's body, but he allowed the blood to grow more and more, and shot off a large spinning blade of blood, cleaving right through the ice itself, and headed for Geten's body.
"Sorry Geten, but I can't die yet!"
Rensuke allowed his blood saw to turn into smaller ones as she had managed to sent off many different type of ice based weapons for Rensuke's form, each of them being finely controlled by Rensuke's attack, and sliced through them, protecting Rensuke's form.
Geten looked shell shocked, and attempted to freeze the blood, but Rensuke already had propelled himself with his own blood, being replicated by his own power, and then forced blood at his elbow, propelling his fist forward.
"No!"
Geten attempted to form a shield, but Rensuke formed a scythe blade of blood at his elbow, and sliced forward, cleaving through the ice, and then he ejected a barrier of blood bullets from the scythe blade, slamming harder and harder against Geten's body, and smashed her through the wall of the building, and made her bleed from the impact.
Geten caught herself on some ice, floating in the air, and felt her body weakening by the second.
She had been using her Quirk, and he still was standing up.
Despite being covered in wounds, he still was fighting.
Her power grew more and more, turning it into a strong mass of ice that held sharp edges and it turned into a very large sky scraper like spear that could cause mass destruction.
While she did that, Rensuke stepped forward, allowing the crimson blood to grow larger and larger, and formed what seemed to be a mass as well. However, it took the form of a large crimson snake that was about the same size as the mass of ice that Geten had formed.
"Strength is everything! Without strength, life has no meaning!"
Geten yelled at Rensuke, while Rensuke shook his head, noticing from down below, that there was crowds looking upwards and appeared to be concerned. However, Rensuke didn't seem to care, and continued forming the giant mass of crimson blood that took the form of a snake, but Geten also noticed that the snake had Angel like wings.
Her eyes went towards Rensuke's own body and saw him dyed in blood.
Yet, he had an expression that told her that he wasn't about to quit.
"Strength is meaningless if you have nothing to fight for. Why do you fight? Is it for your leaders goals?"
"My leader, is wanting to change the world!"
"Through fear?" Rensuke asked, Geten gave a challenging glare. "Fear, doesn't change a world. It makes people rebel, it makes people afraid, and they lash out at what they fear. Right now, those people down their fear what they don't know. Being afraid, isn't how this world should work. Seeing them scared, I want to change it so they smile. So children don't have to be afraid anymore."
"And how should it work?"
"The world should change through cooperation, through acknowledgement of past mistakes. To make real changes, the world has being wanting to change, forcing that change on others isn't going to work. You have to show them the way, show them that there is a better existence out there for them. That they don't have to accept the world as it is. Relying on All Might, isn't the way to go, there should be people, working together, and showing the world that cooperation is what is key. I mean, haven't you seen it through our battles? My group cooperated to gain information from you, to find out what your plans are, and have worked to bring you down."
"You're so convinced that your friends are alive. How do you know that they're not dead?"
Trying to throw him off, it didn't work.
Rensuke had confidence in them.
He knew they'd be alive right now, whatever it was that they were doing.
"I know they're alive, because they want to also change the world like me and wont die until its achieved. They understand why it has to change the way I've said. I never forced them to join me, I never told them what to do. They follow me, because they want to see a better world. People like Himiko-chan can't express herself in this world due to how it is. People like Gentle and La Brava are rejected due to being a little odd, or what people believe is odd, among other things. Twice being effected mentally by his Quirk and no one was there to help him. People that are forced to do something, can never truly see a new change. It has to be what they want. What they desire. My Mother wished for a better world, and I wont stop until its better for her, for everyone that doesn't deserve the life they have right now."
Geten listened to what he had said...and she felt the compassion in his voice.
The way he spoke, it really did begin stirring something within her.
Liberation…
Showing people the way and not forcing them.
It felt so beautiful…
When she was momentarily distracted, Rensuke allowed the snake with wings to go forward, so Geten snapped out of her thoughts, and sent her ice forward, and the pair of powers clashed together, creating a massive eruption of power that shattered the windows of the office buildings around.
Struggling against one another, Geten attempted to freeze the blood, but Rensuke allowed the blood snake to wrap around the ice that Geten had made, and crushed it with the density of the snake growing higher and higher.
Geten tried to form the ice into a different shape, but the blood snake crushed it with its incredible power, and turned it into nothingness, with shards of ice falling down harmlessly to the ground, and then the snake went for Geten.
"N-No!"
Geten formed an ice shield, but the snakes large body smashed through the ice, and collided with the girls body, flinging her back into Shoowayasha's building, her eyes widening at the feeling, and was sent through several walls, before her consciousness was lost.
Rensuke panted more and more, looking down at the ground to see that some police was arriving along with some police, so Rensuke quickly went into the building.
He made his way over to Geten, and grabbed her unconscious body, flinging her over his shoulder, while his vision blurred.
From using his power so much, along with his wounds, he knew he wouldn't last long.
But he still had things he needed to do.
He went towards the place he felt Himiko and the others.
Getting there, he saw Himiko on the ground passed out being healed by two Rensuke clones, with a crying Twice who kept saying "She's dead!" but La Brava murmured "Don't say such morbid things..." while Gentle looked healed and kept his eyes on Chitose who was also passed out nearby, with the Nomu on standby.
"Ren...we've cleaned away all evidence of us here! Your clones helped wash away evidence easily enough."
Gentle called, Rensuke gave a half smile.
"Yes...also need to take care of the other building too..."
"Right, we'll get on that."
Rensuke made it to them, falling beside Himiko.
"Himiko-chan..."
He petted her face, seeing his clones healing Himiko's body.
Twice cried, and hugged Rensuke tightly.
"Ren Ren! She's dead! She's deceased! She's worm food now!"
Rensuke gently pats Twice's head.
"She's not dead, don't worry Twice, from what I can see, my clones are fixing the damage and blood loss also. Thanks to you and your cloning Quirk, we'll survive."
"I did something good?" Rensuke nodded, as Twice placed his hands to his hips. "I did something amazing for you peons!" Rensuke let out a small laugh. "My Ren Ren, are you alright?"
Rensuke mouthed 'Ren Ren?' but rolled with it for now.
"Yes, I'm alright."
"But, you're bleeding! Who did it? Was it that ice girl?! I'll slay her!"
Rensuke found it quite comforting in a way that Twice felt that strongly, it seemed that he cared quite a bit.
"It's alright, I still need her for something."
"But Ren Ren..."
Rensuke just gave a comforting smile, fighting to stay conscious.
"I'm alright, Twice. Thank you, I knew you'd come in handy."
Twice continued to hug Rensuke, while letting out happy tears.
"Ren...the Hero's will be here shortly..."
La Brava spoke with worry, Rensuke nodding his head.
"Right...we need to get out of here before what we set up before so no Hero's could interfere doesn't work anymore…La Brava have Johnny warp us eight out of here..."
"Eight...even..."
La Brava looked to Chitose, and Geten, who were unconscious.
He nodded.
"We still need to gain cooperation to gain more info on the Meta Army, and when I was fighting her, Geten-san seemed to understand something..."
"R-Right, if you think it's a good idea."
La Brava controlled Johnny to warp all of them out of there, leaving nothing of them behind.
A day later, Rensuke while recovering, sat on the bed, with Himiko peacefully sleeping beside him, watching the television, about the events of the night before, with the fights at hand, and right now, they don't know who it was.
"Good thing I had evidence of us destroyed, so they wont know we were there..."
Rensuke murmured to himself as Himiko stirred on the bed.
Her eyes opened, and met with Rensuke's own, who smiled down towards her.
"Did we do it…?"
"We won, Himiko-chan."
Himiko looked ecstatic, and couldn't contain her happily, leaning up, and hugged onto his body.
He hugged her back, while he looked quite sure that she was alright.
"I'm glad you're alright, I was worried about you Himiko-chan~ Good thing Twice was there, using his cloning power to make two me's, double the healing."
"Hehe, I'll always come back to Ren-kun, I'd never abandon him."
Himiko grinned as she moved her body. Despite feeling sore, she pushed Rensuke down onto the bed, and crawled onto his hips. Her lower body locked with his own, moving her body downwards towards his own body.
"Himiko-chan, I..."
He didn't get a chance to finish as her lips overlapped with his own.
Her kiss blended with his own and she quickly allowed her tongue to enter Rensuke's mouth, and toyed with his tongue, though he pushed back with his own tongue, wrapping around her own, causing her to moan happily into his mouth.
His hands slid onto Himiko's back, holding her so she didn't slide down away from the kiss, something that she appreciated.
Explosions of emotions erupted between the two of them, and it filled them with delight.
With happiness that they both wished to have done beforehand.
As they kissed, he felt her hand slowly crawling up his side, sliding across his skin gently, and removed his shirt, pulling her head back long enough to throw his shirt to the side. She then looked down at his chest, and bent down towards it.
She lightly laid a kiss on his chest, causing him to shiver slightly at the feeling that he had.
"Hehe, you're so cute Ren-kun. I've been waiting for a kiss between us."
"I was wondering when it was going to happen to."
She grinned, falling against his shoulder, while he petted her back.
"Ren-kun...I'm glad you're okay. When I thought I was dying...all I could think about was being with you. Being beside you, and being cherished by you, my Ren-kun, I knew I couldn't give up, that you'd not give up, and fight with everything inside of you, so I did to. She underestimated me, she thought I was down, so her guard was also, that allowed me to get the drop on her. So, is Chitose dead?"
Rensuke's face curled upwards slightly.
"Well..."
Himiko's face lowered instantly.
"She's alive...damn it, it means that I'll have to.…"
"Wait Himiko-chan. I've got a few ideas about them. We'll have to see what they say first of all."
Himiko let out a sigh.
"I say we cut our losses, and move on."
Rensuke thought that she might say something like that.
He knew that she didn't like Chitose, and that hatred would carry on for a little while.
Even then, he knew that this was necessary.
"If we did that, then we wouldn't get anywhere. We might have taken down Geten and Chitose, but they still have an army, and according to Geten, it's like one hundred thousand soldiers or something like that."
Himiko sighed, and fell back onto the bed.
"That's so many. We can't take that many."
"That's why we need to build our forces, and those two have good Quirk's, and more importantly, insiders information into the army. If they're to come after me, and us, we need to be prepared."
Himiko sighed louder, but gave consent.
"If you think it's a good idea, then I can't complain. Though I don't have to like her joining the group, do I?"
"I guess you don't have to like it no."
Rensuke chuckled out, as he stood up.
He offered his hand to Himiko.
"Ready?"
Himiko smiled, and took his hand in her own.
They then walked forward together, going out of the bedroom, and down the stairs.
Arriving at the place that Geten and Chitose were being held by the Nomu, Gentle and La Brava also joined them, to see Geten and Chitose just staring at them without really saying anything, while Twice kept throwing popcorn at them for some reason, irritating Geten, who kept saying "Will you stop that?" but he didn't, and kept laughing, igniting annoyance within him.
Rensuke looked over them, while Geten's eyes met with Rensuke's own.
"You could have killed us. Why didn't you kill us? Do you want information on the Meta Liberation Army, is that it?"
Rensuke nodded without hiding his intentions.
"Yes, that's right. But, I also wish for you to join me, like I said back at your office."
Chitose and Geten both looked stunned that he still had offered that.
"We attacked you and almost killed you, yet you're still offering that?"
Chitose stated both of their disbelief, while Himiko rolled her eyes.
"If it was up to me, it wouldn't be the case, but Ren-kun can see the potential within you or something like that."
"Oh, you're alive Himiko, I'm surprised."
"What did you just say?"
Gaining a sly smile, Chitose smacked her lips together.
"It's just, I thought for sure you had died, I was mourning your loss."
"You little..."
Himiko tightened her hand while Chitose looked smug.
"Don't be mean to Himiko-chan!"
But then Twice threw popcorn at Chitose, who let out a small cry as it hit her face, causing Himiko to laugh.
Rensuke gave a bemused look as he continued.
"Anyway, as I said, I'm not going to force you to join me, but I simply can't allow you to kill me or my comrades either. So you have a few options. Either, join our side, or don't. If you don't, and attack us again, I will be forced to kill you. You both are valuable to me, I don't want to end your lives."
"We're...valuable?"
Geten was surprised by the way he said it.
It wasn't like he was saying that they had to do what he said.
He said they were valuable, which to her, she took to mean that she was desired.
"That's right. Your connections and your powers, both could be useful for my group. I need strong men and women behind me. I need the pair of you to stand with me. You both believe in liberation of Quirks, don't you?" They nodded. "So do I, I want the liberation of people. But I don't want to rule with fear, I want to change the world so it can be truly free. Where people don't have to fight over things that don't matter. Where the strong protect the weak. Geten-san, you said to me that strength is what is the most important in this world, right?"
"Of course."
She agreed, so Rensuke continued.
"And with that strength, rather than making people fear you, why don't you put it to good use to help people? I'm not saying become a Hero, but become a Vigilante, become a peacemaker from the shadows. Use your powers to cover the weaknesses the Hero system has, because I can say that the Hero system is flawed. It has weaknesses, it can fail people. That's why I want to become a pillar also. But unlike All Might, I want to do that together with the aid of my comrades, my friends, my loved ones. To truly liberate this world, you have to set good examples, you can't force people to submit to you, you have to teach them a better way so that spreads and eventually people will begin seeing this better way and wish to maintain it. My Mother always said that she wished for a world were the people don't have to be held back, while also keeping in systems that can protect those who can't protect themselves. That's the world I'm going to make one day, and you can be apart of that, if you join beside me."
Geten and Chitose thought about what he had said.
It sounded beautiful.
The words, the passion in his voice.
The charismatic way that his eyes shone towards them.
It sounded wonderful.
Geten looked over Rensuke's form, and knew that while having power, he also was forgiving as a person, since even though they had attacked him, he was willing to still work beside them, and forgive their actions.
She was the first to stand up, and get down on one knee, with Himiko flaring her eyes.
"To use my power in your service...you beat me in our fight. I mocked your kindness, I tried to destroy you, and yet, you didn't take your anger out on me, you didn't kill me. For that, I am grateful, I wish to see what this world of yours is going to be like."
Chitose was surprised that Geten had said that.
She knew of the relationship Geten had with Re-Destro, and yet, it seemed like she was willing to follow after Rensuke now.
His words had touched her in a way that Re-Destro hadn't.
Re-Destro wished to change the way Quirks were handled in society, Rensuke wanted to change how society acted as a whole, more than Quirks, it seemed like that she had understood what Rensuke was saying.
Chitose also got down on one knee, and bowed her head.
"Rensuke-kun, your beautiful words can't be denied…I also wish to become apart of this and see what you do. I didn't agree with the thoughts of killing you anyway, I was torn. But now seeing you as you are, you are a leader that we need to look up to. Caring for your comrades, and even showing mercy to your enemies that deserve it..."
Seeing the pair bowing before him, Himiko showed a wild grin to herself, La Brava looked relieved, and Gentle scratched his cheek happily while Twice was doing a happiness dance in the background.
"Geten-san, Chitose-san, are you going to join me?"
They didn't even need to think about it, and answered at the same time.
""Yes.""
Upon hearing that, Rensuke wore relief on his face.
"Good, now that you're apart of our group, we can continue moving forward. First of all, we have to put on a spin what happened during the Shoowayasha Publishing's, and make it seem to your former leader that I saved the pair of you."
Geten nodded.
"Yes, that makes sense. We should make it seem like you protected us. But, who do we say attacked us?"
"There's a few people that I could think of. Your articles are called controversial by some. Say, it could be someone that had a big enough grudge against the Shoowayasha Publishing, and attacked while we were meeting."
"Hmmm, that could work. But would Re-Destro go for that?"
Chitose wondered to Geten who didn't know.
Rensuke chortled lightly.
"He doesn't have to believe I wasn't involved. All he has to believe is that you're still on his side."
"Being double agents, you mean. Don't you, Rensuke-kun?"
Chitose carried on, with Rensuke inclining his neck.
"That's right, I think that would be for the best. We can keep an eye on the army, while also relying on a few of their resources, and if I am painted in a good light to your leader that protected his subordinates, then we can begin making even better movements than before."
Chitose and Geten inclined their necks.
Himiko watched as Rensuke sat down, so she down beside him, but then she saw Chitose and Geten sit close by, and hold onto his form, something that pissed her off.
"What do we tell the general public?"
"We say the same thing." He replied to Chitose. "We say that it was some wild people that attacked because of an article that you published awhile ago, and you were forced to defend yourself, and managed to escape. It would satisfy both the public, and your Meta Army."
"That's a pretty good idea."
Himiko saw how Chitose's fingers were slowly going up and down Rensuke's chest, so she lightly pushed her hand away from Rensuke's body.
"Ren-kun, shouldn't we also use their resources for ourselves? To get more equipment and other things for us…?"
Chitose huffed.
"I'll use my funds for my new leader, not for you Vampire."
"Screw you bomb bitch, you're only alive because of Ren-kun, if he wasn't here then you'd be bleeding right now..."
Chitose and Himiko locked eyes with sparks going off between them.
They could sense the change in the atmosphere, and it was quite a heavy one at that.
Gentle and La Brava looked towards one another, before chuckling awkwardly at the sight before them.
"S-So, the tension in here is quite..."
Chitose and Himiko glanced at Gentle who silenced himself.
Geten then hugged onto Rensuke's arm, earning glares from both Chitose and Himiko.
"We should probably move soon, so we aren't suspicious of our public image, and also, our former leader."
"Yes, you're right. Lets get prepared."
Geten nodded, and stood up, while Chitose did the same thing, Himiko had volunteered to escort the pair to their new bedrooms.
Gentle pulled closer to Rensuke as he watched them disappear up the stairs.
"Can we trust them? They did try and kill us. They have been lying to get out of here. We can't fully know that they wont betray us."
Rensuke could understand why Gentle was unsure of the new comrades they had gotten.
Even he had some reservations, but he also knew that he had to trust them.
"You very well could be right. Lets keep an eye on them, and share only relevant information with them until they've gained our trust. I'm not an idiot, I know goodwill wont save everyone, and there will be people that oppose that, and they could very well be thinking of betraying us later on. But I'll give them a chance and hope that we're only taking unnecessary precautions rather than necessary ones. La Brava, I'm gonna ask you to bug them for me."
La Brava agreed with that.
She thought it was a rather smart thing to do.
"Good precaution. I should be able to do it without them noticing."
Rensuke was glad that he had La Brava.
She might not be strong, but her abilities with hacking and computers were quite indispensable.
"Good, then lets be prepared, while also attempting to trust our new comrades. You never know, they could become really good members of the group, and even save us one day from something. Changing begins with trust, we have to take this leap, and hope it doesn't bite us in the end."
Gentle slowly inclined his neck.
"I hope that you're right, Ren."
"Yes, so do I."
Rensuke murmured to himself.
While he knew he was taking a risk, making a change required taking a risk, and he had to do his best no matter what.
However, he also knew that if he had to, he would still protect those he loved if they did turn on him at some point.
End chapter!
So the battle at Shoowayasha happened, with both Himiko and Rensuke managing to take down their opponents, while revealing a bit more about their pasts. Gentle managed to fight some opponents, while La Brava powered him up with her Love Quirk, Twice came in handy and used his Quirk to make clones of Rensuke to heal his allies, while Rensuke was busy fighting Geten, and managed to use his blood to fight Geten, so she couldn't freeze it so easily, if she could at all even she didn't seem to know.
Then after a bit of convincing, Geten and Chitose have joined...maybe. It seems that some people are hesitant about it, like Gentle and La Brava, and while Rensuke is unsure himself, he's decided to trust them, while also keeping them at arms lengths until knowing if they truly do follow him now or it is a rouse, either way we'll find out in the future.
Well, until next chapter, thanks for reading!
Rensuke; Izumi, Katsuki (fem), Ochaco, Himiko, Shoto (fem), Momo, Tsuyu, Hana, Itsuka, Kirishima (fem), Mina.
