Mama Yang Hero Academia-30
"Hey Scythe." Rei said, coming into the hospital room. "How are you feeling?"
"I'm not as tired as I used to be." Scythe said sitting on the edge of the bed. "Can I please be discharged? I've only got two more days until my internship ends."
"Nuh-uh. Not happening young lady, you need at least one more day of recovery before you can be released." Rei said.
"But I'm so bored I've got nothing to do. An' I'm pretty sure a media hound snuck into my room last night to get pictures of me." Scythe grumbled.
"Hey, at least you're not Todoroki and Weiss right now." Rei said, holding up the paper's gossip section, showing a picture of the duo with a black bar covering their eyes. "The media is having a field day with my son's relationship with Weiss. Calling it a love scandal."
"What about the person who broke into my room last night?" Scythe questioned.
"I'll have a look at security footage, and if there was anyone who broke in, the hospital will send the police to arrest them." Rei said.
"Hey, is there anymore chocolate?" Wrath asked, popping her head out of Scythe's shoulder.
"No Wrath you ate it all." Scythe exclaimed.
"So, no more gifts today?" Rei questioned.
"I hope not." Scythe said. "Every single envelope I got was filled with Yen. Now my account is so stuffed I got more Yen then I know what to do with it. Plus I got that cheque from the government as payment for taking down the Hero Killer and Adam Taurus. So I think I'm just gonna save the money for any trips my parents might plan."
"Sounds smart." Rei chuckled.
"Knock-knock." A familiar voice said, coming in to the room.
"Ban, Escanor, Merlin, Elaine?" Scythe asked, seeing the four coming in with smiles on their faces, and gifts in their hands, though Escanor looked like his nighttime self.
"Heya kiddo. How ya feeling?" Ban asked sitting on the bed next to Scythe.
"I'm feeling better." Scythe said as Wrath poked her head out to look at the immortal skeptically.
"Whoa, what's that thing?" Ban questioned.
"Oh, that's my partner Wrath. She's a symbiote." Scythe exclaimed scratching the top of Wrath's head.
"We heard from Yang that you were in the hospital here in Hosu. We saw the news, quite impressive you managed to get the Hero Killer to surrender." Escanor said.
"Thanks, but what's going on with you? I thought your power grew as the day progressed?" Scythe questioned.
"Oh, I'm wearing these glasses that supress my power during the day, when I don't need it." Escanor said.
"I'm sorry, but who are all of you?" Rei asked.
"Oh, pardon us ma'am." Ban said. "I am Ban. These are my compatriots Escanor, Merlin, and my wife Elaine."
"A pleasure to make your acquaintance." Merlin smiled.
"This is Granny Rei." Scythe introduced. "So, how are you and Elaine doing?" Scythe inquired.
"We're doing quite well." Elaine smiled. "Still suffering from morning sickness but other than that, we couldn't be better."
"We saw you during the Sports Festival. Escanor and I were cheering you on the whole way kiddo." Ban smiled. "It was shocking to see you standing on your own without your medical aid in the second round."
"Yeah. I had been a bit surprised by that myself, and I was the one fighting in the arena." Scythe exclaimed.
"So nothing new and exciting?" Merlin asked, sitting in a chair.
"Nothing I can think of. Oh, are you familiar with Shie Hassaikai?" Scythe asked.
"Yeah, I did an undercover operation during my hero carrier infiltrating their forces." Ban said. "Their head is sick and in a coma. Their young head is currently their leader, but he seems to be doing a poor job of leading them."
"Well, they attacked my home about a week ago." Scythe exclaimed. "We found a new place to live a couple days after."
"Oh yeah, we actually helped them with moving in the new furniture yesterday." Escanor said.
"So I take it you're all here to make sure Scythe's okay?" Rei inquired.
"Of course." Elaine smiled hugging Scythe from behind. "Who would wish harm upon this little bundle of joy?"
"Hey cut it out." Scythe laughed as Elaine tickled her.
"So, you were telling us about Shie Hassaikai attacking?" Ban questioned.
"Oh, right. My little sister, you know Eri, I told you about her." Scythe continued. "Well, she used to be the foster daughter of Kai Chisaki, the Yakuza's current young head."
"Let me guess. Her Quirk allows her to reverse things to a previous state, huh?" Ban asked.
"Yeah, how'd you know?" Scythe inquired.
"When I was undercover, Chisaki kept spouting about a plan to neutralize Quirks, erasing them for good by attacking Quirk Genes. The only thing he was missing, was the blood and cells of someone, who's Quirk to revert things to a previous state." Ban exclaimed his fists clenched together tightly. "What was he doing to Eri, what was Overhaul doing to that innocent little girl?"
"He was tearing her apart, piece by piece, cell by cell. We don't know exactly what he was doing with her cells, but we know it wasn't anything good." Rei stated. "Since Yang took custody of her, Shie Hassaikai has tried numeral times to take Eri back, by force. In their latest attack, Chisaki nearly killed Scythe, if it hadn't been for Blake and Ryukyu's intervention."
"That tears it." Ban said, standing up. "I'm still welcome there as an honorary member of the Yakuza, since I was able to prove they hadn't done a crime they were accused of. So I'm gonna be gone for a while."
"Be safe." Elaine said.
"Aren't I always?" Ban chuckled.
"Never." Elaine said.
After Ban left, there was a pregnant silence in the room that prevented anyone from speaking for a few minutes, until that silence was broken.
"So, who's up for a game of poker?" Scythe asked. "I got a couple decks of cards as a get well gift from one of the families of Stain's victims."
~Gunhead Martial Arts~
"Let's start with how you fight against someone wielding a blade." Gunhead exclaimed, giving Uraraka one-on-one lessons, with the gravity user holding a metal knife dull on one edge. "Uravity, try attacking me."
"Are you sure?" Uraraka questioned.
"There's no need to hold back." Gunhead stated.
"Alright. Here I come." Uraraka said, before going in for an attack.
"When someone's waving a knife around, your best bet's to keep your distance." Gunhead explained, jumping back with each swing of the dull blade that Uraraka nearly hit him with. "If they attack directly, plant one leg, and use it to pivot and dodge." He instructed, doing the same action he just told her about. "Then grab their wrist and back at the same time. Now you can take them down." Gunhead stated, grabbing Uraraka's wrist, and throwing her to the ground with his other hand on her back. "See how I did that? Twist your attacker's wrist to make them drop their knife, make sure you kick it away for your own safety." Gunhead said, letting go of Uraraka after kicking the blade away. "So, easy-peasy right?" He asked.
Uraraka picked herself up and flexed her wrist a few times, making sure it wasn't damaged or anything, as she thought over what had just happened.
'His movements were so fluid. These Gunhead Martial Arts, are amazing.' Uraraka thought. 'He acts cute, but he's fierce, just like Scythe said.'
"It's too bad you didn't come when my two best instructors were still working here under me, as sidekicks and workout instructors." Gunhead stated, going and grabbing the knife. "You could have really learned a lot from them. But that's life I suppose. I keep in contact with them still if you'd be interested in getting in contact with them."
"Are you talking about Yang and Blake?" Uraraka questioned.
"I am. You know them?" Gunhead inquired.
"Yeah, we became friends right after the entrance exams for U.A ended. We were even classmates before they both took the early graduation entrance exam." Uraraka stated. "Yang was even our substitute teacher while Mr. Aizawa was on medical leave. I'm even best friends with their daughter Scythe."
"Oh I see." Gunhead stated. "Good to know Scythe is in good hands. This time I'll hold the knife. We'll keep on repeating this until it's second nature." Gunhead said, returning to their lesson. "Sound good?"
"Yessir." Uraraka stated.
~Random Park in Hosu~
"Giving back to the community is a big part of being a hero." Fourth Kind said, picking up trash, wearing a hat and a blue vest. "So don't let me see you drag your feet." He stated, instructing Kirishima and Tetsutetsu. "Understand me?"
"Got it, Mr. Fourth Kind sir." Both heroes in training said.
"I can't hear you." He called out.
"GOT IT MR. FOURTH KIND SIR." They said again, only louder.
"That's better. But this is nothing. Last year I saw All Might training his daughter, and grandkid, by having them do an intensive training working at the same time as cleaning mountains of garbage off a beach." Fourth Kind stated.
"Huh? Yang and Scythe cleaned mountains of garbage off a beach?" Kirishima questioned.
"How long did it take them?" Tetsutetsu questioned.
"Didn't ask, but when I saw them, the beach was spotless, and just five months earlier, it was nothing but a landfill. There's wasn't a speck of trash on that beach. It would have taken anyone else more than a year to clear off that beach, but those two pushed themselves to do it in five months, finishing around Christmas time." Fourth Kind said.
"Whoa no way. That's incredible." Kirishima said in awe.
~Pro Hero Death Arms an' Earphone Jack~
"How many hostages?" Death Arms asked, as Jiro had a jack plugged into a wall to listen in on a situation going on in class.
"From what I can hear, I think only two." Jiro stated.
"Okay, we're going in." Death Arms said. "Don't do anything crazy like your classmate did. I don't wanna have to explain to your parents why you ended up in the hospital. Once we're in, you escort the hostages to safety, that's it."
"Yessir." Jiro stated.
"Let's go." Death Arms said, slamming his fists together, before slamming into the doors, with a sidekick, dressed like him, following closely behind him. "We're Pro Heroes, do as we say." Death Arms shouted, as the hostages made a run for it, spotting Jiro by the entrance.
"I'll escort you, please come with me." Jiro said as they ran past her.
"We're saved." One of them shouted.
"Thank you so much hero." The other said, thanking Jiro.
~Oki Mariner~
"Ribbit." Tsu sighed as she finished scrubbing the deck. "Cleaning the deck is hard work, I wonder how Scythe's recovery is coming along."
"Froppy." A voice called from the upper decks.
"Ribbit?"
Tsu turned around to see a hero working for the agency she was interning at, coming up to her with a couple cans of drink in her hands.
This is Sirius, a young woman with smart blue eyes, sloping inwards, and short, shoulder-length hair of a lighter blue color side swept to the right.
Her hero costume consists of a sleeveless white sailor uniform with a dark blue, double-trimmed collar and a short 3-piece skirt which is buttoned together on either side. She wears a loosely-tied red scarf and blue gloves with white striped wrist guards, and on her feet, thigh-high boots with wavy lines running down them from thigh to toe. She sports a flat hat with a ribbon around the base and two large blue fins around her ears. Breast Size: C-Cup.
"How's the work going?" Sirius questioned.
"I think I'm all done cleaning the deck. What now Sirius?" Tsu questioned.
The only answer she got was of Sirius holding up the cans of drink. Tsu was grateful for the break, and sat down to chat with Sirius, and have a decent conversation.
"It's kinda boring having to spend every day cleaning isn't it?" Sirius questioned.
"Eh, a little." Tsu said.
"You know I felt the same way when I did my internship." Sirius said. "As a kid I'd always imagined I knew what it meant to be a hero. It turns out, the reality is very different. I always thought being a hero would be super glamorous, but then I discovered it was a lot of patrols and cleaning up. I even had to do laundry, which meant washing the captain's underwear. I had to ask myself what I was even doing here."
"So you got tired of it?" Tsu questioned.
"At first yeah. But after becoming the captain's sidekick, I figured something out." Sirius exclaimed. "I realized what was actually important when it came to being a hero."
"Oh really what was it?" Tsu questioned. "Will you tell me?"
"Oh, it'll be better if you find out for yourself. Don't ya think?" Sirius said.
"Ribbit." Tsu said, nodding her head a bit.
"Eh Froppy. Why are you just sitting there?" A big humanoid Spotted Seal questioned, walking over to them. "Shouldn't a frog be jumping to get her work done? An' I thought I told you, to keep on top of her Sirius? Don't you slack either?"
This is Captain Selkie, a man with a muscular physique, but with the appearance of a humanoid spotted seal that has a gray beard.
He sports a full body wetsuit as his hero costume, featuring yellow goggles, retractable flippers and a stylized "S" featured on the left shoulder.
"I finished cleaning the deck, Captain Sir." Tsu said.
"An' I'm totally supervising her properly." Sirius said, putting her arm around Tsu's shoulders.
"Ribbit." Tsu said nodding her head again.
"Oh, is that right?" Captain said. "Guess I jumped to conclusions. Sorry about that ladies, I apologize, my bad. Forgive me." He said, trying to act all cute, when really he just looked like a big dork. This act of trying to look cute, left both Froppy and Sirius speechless, which caused Selkie to laugh. "I'm too cute for words, aren't I Froppy?"
"Yeah, she's dumbfounded." Sirius said.
"Uh excuse me Captain Selkie sir, would you mind doing that expression again, only could I record it this time?" Tsu asked holding up her phone.
"Hmm? What for?" Selkie questioned.
"Well, a classmate of mine is in the hospital, she's actually the one who took down the Hero Killer, an' I was thinking that might cheer her up a bit." Tsu said.
"Oh, you mean that eight year old girl, the youngest to ever become a first year at U.A right?" Selkie asked.
"Yeah, she's a friend of mine, her name is Scythe. I wanna cheer her up a bit. If you don't mind." Tsu said.
"Of course not at all." Selkie said.
"Alright and go." Tsu said hitting record on her phone.
"Hi there Scythe. Get better soon. From Captain Selkie and Froppy." Selkie said, doing his cutesy face again.
"I know I always say this Captain Selkie sir. But trying to look cute like that doesn't work." Sirius said after Tsu ended the recording and sent it off to Scythe. "The rest of your physique is just too macho. Your face is pretty rugged to."
"What'd you say? When I make that sweet face for kids, they eat it up." Selkie said.
"Of course, because they're actually making fun of you. Trust me, there's nothing cute about it." Sirius said.
"Scythe would disagree with you on that." Tsu said gaining their attention. "She responded to the video and said it's adorable." Tsu added. 'I find it adorable to.'
"Yeah, well she's eight, what does she know?" Sirius questioned.
"She's a first year at U.A, in my class." Tsu pointed out.
"If she's smart enough to do that, then she's smart enough to get cuteness." Selkie smirked.
"Captain Selkie Sir." One of the deckhands called to him from the main cabin of the ship. "An urgent message has just come in from the Coastguard."
"I hear ya, coming now." Selkie stated marching up the steps.
"Froppy, will you help me unfasten the ropes?" Sirius questioned turning to Tsu. "Looks like we're sailing out."
"Ribbit." Tsu said, following Sirius to go untie the ropes.
Meanwhile in the main cabin, Selkie took the communications device from his subordinate.
"Selkie here." He said speaking to whoever was on the other end of the line.
Outside, Tsu and Sirius were untying the ropes, and bringing them in.
"Hey you're good at this." Sirius said, seeing how well Tsu was working. Afterwards, they pulled up the drawbridge, and tied it off, before heading into the main cabin just as Selkie was ending his conversation.
"I see, kay, we're on it." Selkie said, tying it off.
"The ropes are pulled in." Sirius stated.
"Hear that sailors? Emergency Departure." Selkie exclaimed.
"Aye-aye sir." They all said before going to their stations.
"Full speed ahead." Selkie called out as the ship began to leave the docs. "Good work, the Oki Mariner is on the move."
~Shie Hassaikai HQ~
It was dark in the halls of the Shie Hassaikai Manner. All the Yakuza members were at their posts, while Kai Chisaki, was sitting on one of two couches, with a Shogi board in front of him, his side missing several pieces, while the other side had all its pieces, and was advancing heavily on his side. Strange thing was, there was no one sitting on the other couch playing against him.
"This is a nuisance." Chisaki sighed. "Several of my pieces have been taken out of the game thus far. Rappa, Rikiya, and a few others. They've all been taken out by All Might's daughter, and her allies, not to mention, they have a valuable piece of mine." Chisaki said, revealing the shogi board in front of him, represented his situation between All Might's Family, and his Yakuza Family. "Rappa and Rikiya should be fully recovered in a couple weeks, time. Instantly if I used my Quirk on them. But that still leaves the question of how I'm going to get Eri back. An' if I can get my hands on Huntress's daughter, to use as leverage."
"Ugh Boss. You've got a visitor." A short black suit wearing man, with a plague mask, said opening the doors slightly.
"Not now Irinaka." Chisaki said. "I'm busy."
"Uh Boss, we've tried to make him leave but…"
"Knock-Knock Chisaki." Ban said, kicking the door open, while also kicking Irinaka, Mimic, through the now open door.
"Well, if it isn't Undead Ban. My Father's most trusted, and only hero friend." Chisaki said. "I'm assuming you left the place a wreck?"
"If there's any mess, then it's only because your men started the altercation. You're doing a piss-poor job of running Shie Hassaikai." Ban said, plopping down on the couch, revealing the mess of blood, dead, and unconscious men he left in the hall leading to the meeting room. "We need to talk. I have a bone to pick with you."
"I'm a little busy at the moment Ban. If this is about your partnership with father, then it'll have to wait." Chisaki said.
"I'm here about Eri."
Chisaki's hand stopped, as he was reaching to move a piece off the bored. His heart began to beat like a drum, with his blood pumping loudly in his ears. He recognized the tone Ban had just used, when saying what his business was. An' he knew that if he gave any answer that Ban didn't like, he was dead. Ban was the only person, Chisaki's Quirk had no permanent effect on. His immortality was unfathomable, and scary. Ban even allowed him to experiment and destroy his entire body, only to come back from the smallest scrap that was left of him after only an hour of waiting, without Chisaki using his Quirk to put the immortal back together. If there was one man he feared above all others, it was Undead Ban.
"Who?" Chisaki asked, trying to act tough, but it was obvious he was scarred from how badly his body was shaking.
The response he gave was the wrong one, as Ban flipped the coffee table over, with just a single flick of his foot, and grabbed Chisaki by the throat, and throwing him against a wall, before grabbing his throat again, pinning him to the wall he hit, and raising him off the ground, causing the young head to become oxygen deprived.
"Don't play dumb with me Chisaki." Ban growled. "You see I'm not as stupid as I lead people to believe. I paid attention to the conversations you had with your old man, involving your plans for creating a drug that can destroy Quirks. But to do that you'd need someone with a Quirk that can revert things to a previous state. Eri just so happened to be that person."
"Y-yes I admit, I was going through with my plan." Chisaki said trying to breathe in Ban's grip.
"Now let me make this perfectly clear, All Might's family, are members of my gang, my tribe, my Yakuza the Sins. Your father and I have a peace treaty. Eri is part of that family. Go after her, of anyone else in All Might's family, an' you break the peace between our two Yakuza Clans." Ban said.
"Y-your group isn't Yakuza. Yakuza are a bunch of thugs, and drug dealers, mobsters. You're nothing but a group of heroes, pretending to be Yakuza." Chisaki said.
"Times are changing Chisaki." Ban said, letting go of his throat and dropping him to the ground. "Yakuza can mean more than one thing in this day of age."
"Oh yeah, and what exactly does Yakuza mean to you?" Chisaki questioned sitting on the ground, taking deep breaths as Ban started walking away from him.
"Yakuza means family, Chisaki." Ban said. "You should know that already, after all, the old man brought you into his family, didn't he?"
Chisaki was left sitting on the ground, with Mimic picking himself up from where he landed. Chisaki was enraged. He had just been warned by the one man, he truly feared besides his father, to stay away from the linchpin of his plan. Well, if he couldn't go after Eri and Scythe directly, then he'd have to go after them, through some other means.
"Mimic." Chisaki said, standing up, and dusting himself off. "Do we have any contacts outside our Yakuza group, who specialize in stealth?"
"Several, but why Boss? You heard Undead Ban's warning." Mimic said walking up to his leader.
"Which is why, we'll be doing this, with men who know how to keep their traps shut, and won't rat out a client. We'll be doing it behind his back, making him think it was a third party doing it all on their own." Chisaki said. "He won't even suspect it was us, by the time the job is pulled. Do we have the funds in the budget to hire someone like that?"
"It'll be tight, but I think so." Mimic said.
"Good. Get Skewer on the line for me would ya?" Chisaki questioned.
"Which one's he again?" Mimic asked, pulling a cellphone from his body suit.
"The thief with the Quirk similar to Edgeshot's Foldabody." Chisaki stated.
Mimic picked the number from his contacts list, and brought it to his ear, before Skewer picked up.
"Hey Skewer, it's Mimic from the Shie Hassaikai." Mimic said. "No I'm not calling about the money you owe… hold on. Boss, you think he'll accept the job if we tell him it will clear his debt?"
"Do whatever it takes to get him to agree to the job." Chisaki said.
"Skewer. We've got a job for you, if you can pull it off, you can consider your debt paid off in full." Mimic said. "Alright come by tomorrow for the details of the plan. It's too important to talk about over the phone. We'll do business. Chow." Mimic exclaimed before hanging up.
"Since Skewer isn't a member of the Hassaikai, Ban won't suspect we had a hand in this." Chisaki said. "This should go down nicely."
~Oki Mariner: Open Sea Sunset~
"So what are we dealing with?" Sirius questioned.
"The Coastguard got a tip that there were stowaways on the trade ship Nysan. But things might not be what they seem. Officials inspected the ship. But they didn't find any stowaways hiding on the vessel." Selkie explained. "Upon further investigation though, they discovered, that important cargo from the ships freight list was missing. I'm sure you all know what that means. What do you think Froppy?" Selkie asked looking to Tsu.
"Hmm, well it's likely before the Coastguard arrived, the stowaways moved the cargo to another ship somewhere close by and fled the scene of the crime." Tsu exclaimed. "In fact it's possible the stowaways had brokers on the ship."
"Rrrrrr, correct." Selkie said, trying to pull off the cute look again, much to the exasperation of his crew.
'So embarrassing.' The crew thought in unison.
'Adorable.' Tsu gushed on the inside.
"It's our job to find these criminals. Based on the information we have, they probably escaped on a small boat. We will deliver them to the Coastguard. Considering the Nysan's position, this is the general location that would make the most sense as an escape route." Selkie said, bringing up a holographic map. "Authorities and other sea rescue heroes are also searching for them." Selkie stated, as the map closed in on a specific location. "We'll be focusing on this area. Take note, the sun will set soon, that means you'll be searching for the boat via radar. I'll take to the ocean and look for them myself. That's all, got it? Let me hear you sailors."
"Ribbit/Aye-aye sir." The crew said, with Tsu only saying Ribbit.
After the meeting ended, the crew went to their positions, while Selkie dove off the side of the ship, into the waters.
As the sun set, Tsu and Sirius took a pair of binoculars, and began searching but it was hard for Tsu to do. The duo kept this up for about an hour before Tsu spoke up.
"As expected I can't see anything in the darkness." Tsu said. "An' we haven't seen anything yet on the radar either."
"Never fear." Sirius said, gaining Tsu's attention. "Don't forget the Captain's looking for them to."
"Incoming message from the Coastguard. A fishing boat thought to belong to the stowaways, has shaken off a hero agency patrol boat. It was last seen heading toward the area that we were in charge of searching." One of the Sailors said, over the PA Systems.
Tsu and Sirius looked to each other before, the water sprouted up and Selkie landed on the deck behind them.
"Captain." Sirius said, greeting him.
"I've confirmed the location of the missing fishing boat we've been looking for." Selkie said urgently. "This is our chance. Turn off the lights and get close without letting them know where we are."
"Ribbit/Aye-aye sir." The crew said, repeating their earlier salute.
As they doused their lights, and approached the fishing boat, the crew were careful not to let their position be discovered.
"Captain, we've found the boat. I don't think they've spotted us." One of the sailors said, alerting the captain.
"Good. I want you to block their course with the Oki Mariner." Selkie said patting the sailor on the back. "Then board their vessel while setting off a flare."
"Aye-aye sir." The crew said.
"What should I do?" Tsu asked, wanting to know her directions.
"You stay here." Selkie said.
"Ribbit?"
"Sirius, you're with her." Selkie instructed.
"Yessir." Sirius said as Selkie and his crew prepared to board the other sea vessel.
"But how can I learn if I don't get any experience?" Tsu asked.
"Just be quiet and do as I say intern." Selkie said pointing at her. "I will not be having a student interning for me, going to the hospital on my watch. Let's go."
"Aye-aye sir." The two men followed him.
"Ribbit." Tsu said, sounding disappointed.
"You wanna go with them Froppy I know, I get it. But you know something, thing is, even though we're only up against some stowaways, this could still be dangerous. So we have to follow the Captain's orders. He's just not wanting you to get hurt or hospitalized like your friend with her internship. We'll support them together."
"Ribbit." Tsu said in acknowledgement.
"Captain, we've impeded their intended course as ordered." The sailor driving the Oki Mariner said.
"Alright." Selkie said, standing on the ship's deck with two of his crewmates. "Then you can leave the rest to me."
Shooting up a flare, as ordered, Selkie began to speak into the loudspeakers.
"This is a Pro Hero. Stop your ship, we're here on behalf of the Coastguard. We will now inspect your vessel."
A while later, the crew of the Oki Mariner had finished their search of the fishing vessel with no luck. The crew of the fishing boat standing in front of Selkie's line of sight, as he kept an eye on them.
"Captain, I looked for the missing cargo, but I didn't find anything." One of the sailors said.
"Yeah same here." The other sailor said.
"See what I tell ya, you'll find nothing but humble fishermen aboard." The captain of the fishing boat said, before a loud bang was heard as Selkie put his foot on the doors to the fish storage unit. Which drew the fishing captains attention.
"Then you can show us what's inside this to." Selkie stated. "Can't you?"
"It's just a bunch of fish down there." The fisherman stated.
"Then open the hatch and let's see." Selkie stated.
"What a pain." The squid face fisherman in red stated.
"This is pointless." The one in blue agreed.
The three fishermen opened the hatch and allowed the Pro Hero and his men to look into it.
"It's too dark to see anything clearly." One of the sailors said.
"Can't you turn on the lights?" Selkie questioned, before all three of them were shoved into the cargo hold of the fishing boat with a loud splash.
While still up on the surface, the black haired fisherman looked to the squid brothers in fear.
"I did exactly as you said, so please, there's no reason to kill me." He said, as the squid brothers each put a hand on his shoulders.
"Oh we won't kill ya." Red Squid exclaimed.
"Don't worry." Blue Squid said, before they both pushed him into the storage unit.
"I think we bought some time." Red Squid stated.
"It'll be easier for Boss Innsmouth to do what he needs to do now." Blue Squid agreed as they bumped fists.
"I think this means our job here is complete." Red Squid smiled.
"See ya." They said at the same time, jumping down off the ship into the water.
Meanwhile, on the Oki Mariner, the rest of the crew were still trying to get through to their Captain.
"Captain, Captain Please respond." The Sailor driving the ship, exclaimed. "It's no use, we've lost contact."
"The inside of the ship must be lined with something that blocking our radio waves to pass through." Tsu exclaimed.
"I'm going over there." The sailor said.
"Hold on." Sirius said, causing him to stop in his tracks. "I'm getting a mores code message from the Captain." Sirius exclaimed. "The stowaways, different boat." This caught Tsu and the sailor off their guard, as Sirius continued the message. "We're fine. Find them. Go start the ship."
"Right."
The sailor, respecting his captains orders and began driving the ship away, with Tsu and Sirius being the only other crew members aboard.
"Ribbit." Tsu said a bit worried.
"If that boat was a decoy, then the stowaways are probably heading towards the shore." Sirius stated. "Hurry."
"We're going full speed." The sailor said.
"Shouldn't we rescue the Captain and the others?" Tsu questioned.
"The Captain is relying on us to follow his orders. If we believe in him, then we trust in his course of action." Sirius exclaimed. "Do you have faith Froppy?" Sirius questioned. "In the Captain, and in us?"
Tsu forwarded her brow, before nodding in confirmation, before heading out into the open air on the deck, and pulling a small whistle like device from around her neck inside her suit.
'Hosu is miles away from the harbor. I have faith in the Captain, but I think he'd be impressed if he were to see her skills in action.' Tsu thought, remembering the pattern style she needed to blow into the whistle three times. 'We're close enough to the ship, to where she'll assume the whistling came from it. Here goes.'
~Hosu General~
"Damn I can't believe it's this late already." Scythe yawned stretching out her arms. "Wonder how everyone else is doing on their Internships. Wrath seemed real excited to be able to go and be with Merlin. I'm happy for her. As fun as Wrath is, I hate the constant hunger she makes me feel." Scythe smiled, closing her eyes, before they widened in shock, hearing the three whistle pattern of a Huntresses call for help. "It's coming from the ocean. Sorry mom, everyone, I'm discharging a bit early." Scythe said, reaching into the drawer of her side table, and pulling out the nanotech housing unit for her suit.
~Oki Mariner~
"There, she should have received it by now." Tsu exclaimed, putting the whistle back into her suit. "Glad Yang taught me those whistle codes while she was still our homeroom teacher."
"Froppy, what was that whistle pattern you just sent off?" Sirius questioned, coming out to her.
'Forgot her Quirk allows her to hear frequencies normal people can't, guess that includes frequencies this high.' Tsu thought. "I just called in a little help from a friend." Tsu exclaimed. "She's quite fast in the water. I'm sure she can help the Captain while we follow his orders."
"Should have known you had an alternative plan for helping the Captain, so we could continue to follow his orders." Sirius said, with a smile and a slight shake of her head.
~Open Ocean a few hours later~
"C'mon Tsu, where are you? I know that whistling came from around here somewhere." Scythe said, swimming through the water in her Argonaut form, her scales an ocean blue, with gills on her neck, and webbed hands, as she was swimming as fast as she could, focusing only on the single element. "Hopefully my earth clone holds out until I get back, mom would kill me if she knew I was out here." Scythe groaned. "Hold up, I think I see a boat."
Scythe dove deeper into the water before rocketing up and landing onto the deck, with a thud.
"Alright, now where would they be hiding?"
"Hey, is someone up there?"
Scythe turned to see where that voice came from, and saw the closed hatch to the fish storage unit. Figuring it was a better clue than nothing, Scythe forced it open, and peered down, brightening up the area with light from her arc reactor.
"Anyone down here?" Scythe questioned.
"Who the hell are you?" Selkie's voice echoed as Scythe caught site of the four men wadding around in fish.
"Hold on, you're Selkie, the Sea Rescue Hero, Tsu is interning for." Scythe said, recognizing his face, from the video Tsu sent her. "That video she sent of you was just adorable."
"Wait, you're Froppy's friend?" Selkie asked. "Aren't you supposed to be in the hospital?"
"I have a decoy in my place so no one will suspect I'm gone." Scythe explained jumping down, and joining them in the water and fish swimming around their legs. "I'm actually responding to an S.O.S she sent a few hours ago."
"What are you doing jumping down here? Now we're all stuck." The fisherman shouted at her.
Scythe just looked at him with an annoyed, look that asked, really? Two minutes later above the unit's entrance, the fisherman came flying out of the storage unit and landed face first on the deck floor.
"What's his deal anyway?" Scythe questioned, looking back to Selkie and his sailors.
"He was helping some criminals by using this ship as a decoy to let their boss escape from custody. But they trapped him down here with us for some reason." Selkie said, as Scythe threw one of his sailors out of the unit next.
"Hmm, sounds like he was helping them under duress then." Scythe stated. "It makes sense. Villains do it all the time, they hold people hostage, and force them to cooperate through many different means. One of them being threatening their lives."
"Froppy wasn't kidding when she said you were smart." Selkie said as she threw the other sailor up out of the unit.
"Only when I'm in my Argonaut form. When I'm eight years old, my I.Q is just average. My Argonaut form's brain power is increased tenfold when it comes to thinking up tactics, and strategies." Scythe said. "Oh and just so we're clear, when this is all over, I was never here. If my mom finds out I broke out of the hospital just to help Tsu, I'm dead."
"My lips are sealed. An' I'll turn a blind eye to you helping me fight the villains and using your Quirk against them to, if you wanna stick around." Selkie said, as Scythe cupped her hands together, and created a boost to toss him out of the storage unit.
"That would be much appreciated." Scythe smiled jumping out of the storage unit and landing beside Selkie. "Tsu must have sent the S.O.S signal while she was close to the ship so she could get you all some help. The signal did come from this area."
"C'mon, my men will secure the ship, we'll try and catch up to the rest of my crew, and my intern. Hope those webbed hands are for more than just show." Selkie said, running for the edge of the ship.
"Let's see if you can keep up old man." Scythe smirked.
"Oh, you're so gonna eat those words when you eat my dust." Selkie smirked as they both dived into the water, swimming at inhuman speeds.
After a while of searching, and following Selkie's echo location, they breached the water as Selkie tried to reach his crew on his radio, mainly with the crew that was still on the fishing boat.
"I've got their location. The stowaways are at the double rocks, North West of here. Sounds like they're in trouble." Selkie exclaimed. "How fast can you swim?"
"Fast enough to reach them." Scythe said, her scales gaining an icy blue tint to them.
"Then go girl go." Selkie said, before Scythe dove underwater, and began swimming North West, as fast as she could, leaving Selkie behind on in the water. "Damn, she is fast."
~Stowaway's ship~
"You stupid little brat." An octopus man shouted, swinging one of his arms at Tsu, meaning to cause her harm and attack her. Tsu was quick to dodge, and jumped to the rock wall to her left, sliding down its surface, while also keeping her guard up and her eyes on the villain Innsmouth. "I'll kill you." Innsmouth shouted throwing another attack she dodged, by jumping into the tree on the other side of the double rocks. Tsu kept bouncing around, evading attack after attack from Innsmouth, as he kept trying to let loose his anger out on her for ignoring his directions. "Stop jumping around and stay still damn it." He shouted, not noticing as Sirius was waking up, from when he knocked her out mere minutes ago.
Using her tongue to grab Sirius, Tsu thought she could grab her, but it turned out to be a bad move on her part as Innsmouth grabbed her tongue, and swung her around, forcing her through rock, and rubble, before pinning her against a rock wall, leaving her exhausted and in pain from the attack Innsmouth had inflicted.
"This is the end Froggy." Innsmouth stated. "You're just a helpless child, but since you came here uninvited, I'll have to teach both of you a lesson." Innsmouth shouted sadistically as he reached a hand out to grab Tsu's head in a death grip.
"Ribbit." Tsu said in pain and fear.
"Water Goddess: Sea Dragon's SMASH." Scythe shouted, performing a double kick on Innsmouth in the torso, sending him down to the ship below, before Scythe landed on the deck, holding Red Squid and Blue Squid in her hands, both bloody and bruised into unconsciousness from the beating they took from her. "Sorry I'm late Froppy." Scythe smiled cracking her neck, the gills dispersing the last of the water in her lungs so she could breathe air again. "Ran into a little trouble on my way here." Scythe stated, dropping both Red and Blue onto the deck, at Innsmouth feet. "Sorry, I wasn't invited to the party either. My invite must have gotten lost in the mail."
"Who the hell are you?" Innsmouth questioned.
"Boss…" Red Squid said, reaching for Innsmouth weakly. "Be careful, she's strong…"
"She's the one… who took down Hero Killer Stain…" Blue Squid said, sounding in just as much pain as his red twin.
"My brothers." Innsmouth said, looking at them, before looking back up at Scythe, with a hateful glare in his eye. "I'll kill you for harming my brothers."
"You know, I should really be saying that to you for harming my friend." Scythe said as Selkie popped out of the water, and landed on the rock wall beside Tsu, grabbing her and hopping down to the boat deck, sitting her down next to Sirius who he helped to sit up and lean against the frame of the ship.
"Godslayer, I can take over if you want." Selkie stated.
"Not happening." Scythe said cracking her knuckles. "I'm a dragon, and a member of my horde has been harmed. I won't rest until I settle the score personally."
'A member of her horde, does she mean me?' Tsu thought in question.
"An' what would you do if I told you I was stronger than Stain or his Copycat?" Innsmouth questioned, before Scythe disappeared from his sights.
"I'd say you've got a future in comedy." Scythe said appearing behind Innsmouth. "Water/Ice Goddess: SMASH." Scythe shouted, throwing a five percent One-for-All punch at Innsmouth, sending him flying into a rock wall, causing an imprint of his form to show, as he was unconscious, falling from the rock, and hanging limply on the edge of the deck.
"Good work Godslayer." Selkie said, bringing him aboard, and laying him on the ground. "Coastguard will be here in a few minutes, fastest way back to mainland is to just head, West. I'll handle things from here."
"Remember. I was never here." Scythe said.
"My lips are sealed." Selkie stated.
"An' continue to take good care of Tsu, she's a valuable member of my horde." Scythe said jumping into the water, and headed West, to the mainland.
'Huh, so she was talking about me.' Tsu thought with a smile on her face.
"You've got a real good friend there Froppy." Selkie reassured her.
"Yeah, I guess I do." Tsu smiled brightly.
