Mama Yang Hero Academia-37
In the central tower's stairwell, the group of students and children made it up to the tenth floor, with some of them sounding like they were already out of breath, with Iida taking the lead, and Ruby right behind him. The running continued until they stopped for a short break.
"Level thirty." Iida said.
"Wait Melissa how high does the building go?" Weiss asked.
"The two hundredth floor." Melissa said panting heavily with Scythe and Jack on either side of her.
"The what?" Kaminari questioned.
"That's way too many stairs." Mineta exclaimed. "Scythe, just go full lightning/shadow Godslayer and run to the top of the steps, and kick those villains into next week."
"He can't idiot." Ruby said. "Scythe needs to conserve as much of his power as possible, its natural recharge is already slowed down due to the running. If he were to use both those elements, and run to the top of the tower, the power he'd built up till now would be drained dry, and he's be a sitting duck when facing off against the villains."
"Alright. But Question. Scythe has his Argonaut form to help him deal with villains much easier, but Jack doesn't have anything like that. How is she gonna keep up with him if they get into a fight?" Todoroki asked.
"Yeah, good point I hadn't thought about that. Jack is a skilled fighter, but when we're comparing her to Scythe in his Argonaut form, she's extremely overpowered when it comes to raw physical strength." Ruby said.
"Don't worry." Scythe said. "I've been working on a technique that might help."
"If you're sure." Ruby nodded. "Alright everybody, we've got to keep going, the amount of stairs doesn't matter, so long as we don't run into villains. It's better than that."
After that, they kept running up flight after flight of stairs, reaching level forty, then fifty. As they passed another flight of stairs, Uraraka looked back to see Jack and Scythe helping Melissa to keep climbing the stairs.
"Hey Melissa, do you want me to use my Quirk on you?" Uraraka inquired.
"I'll be fine." Melissa said. "But thanks anyway. Save your power for when we need it, I'm right behind you." Melissa stated confidently as she removed her shoes and began running again.
As they continued to climb up the stairs, determination and perseverance continued to course through most of them, until they came to a sudden stop, as their route was blocked off on floor eighty.
"The route's blocked." Iida said.
"What should we do?" Todoroki questioned. "Break through it?"
"We can't freeze and smash it; that would just alert the villains of our presence and location." Weiss said.
"Then why don't we go through this door instead?" Mineta asked, reaching up to the handle of the door in front of the staircase.
"Mineta stop." Ruby called.
"No don't." Melissa cried out.
Their cries reached him too late, as Mineta pulled on the handle, and causing an alert to be set off as the door opened.
"You little dumbass." Ruby growled, grinding her knuckles into the sides of Mineta's skull while sending small yet very painful waves of electricity through his brain. "Try thinking for once, and listening to those around you. We're on a floor where there are tons of highly important and expensive pieces of research equipment. Do you think they're gonna conveniently have a door that won't set off an alert? You just gave away our position to the villains. Seriously if you can't use your head, and all you pervertedly think about are girls and their bodies, like we're simple pieces of meat, why the hell are you even in the hero course huh?"
"Enough. There's nothing we can do about it now." Weiss said. "If the villains know where we are now, then that gives us even more incentive to hurry."
As the students began running through the halls, well Mineta was more dragged along because he was paralyzed from the electric shocks, by a rope Momo made, their nerves began to rise, as they knew the villains were aware of their positions, but they hadn't done anything to intercept them yet. Their answer came in the form of the blast doors beginning to close in on them from both ends. Spotting a doorway through the closing gate, Ruby thought quickly and before Iida could call out for Todoroki, she enacted her plan.
"Scythe." Ruby called.
Without needing further instruction, Scythe sped towards the last closing gate in front of them, entering his Argonaut form, before slamming his feet on the bottom half of the gate, and pushing up on the top half, as he used the brute strength of One-for-All, to keep the gate open, preventing it from closing, like keeping the jaws of a monster from chomping down on him.
With the both of them jumping through the forced open gateway, Ruby and Iida, both went to knock down the door, Ruby using parkour to jump from wall to wall, while Iida use a boost from his engine calves, destroying the leg of his pants, while also kicking in the door, at the same time Ruby slammed her feet into it with a double kick.
"Everyone quick, we can cross through here." Iida called out as Weiss and Todoroki were already helping the others through the gate as Scythe's body began to produce steam.
'It's just like dad's body, when he had his time limit. Guess it's a good indicator of knowing when Scythe is reaching his limit.' Ruby thought as the last of the came through, and Scythe jumped down, exiting his Argonaut form, following them through the smashed doors.
"What is this place?" Weiss questioned as they ran through a room filled with lush plant life and fauna.
"It's a plant factory." Melissa said. "They research the effects that Quirks have on fauna here."
"Hold on. Look, the elevator's coming up." Jiro said, stopping everyone in their tracks.
"Don't tell me the villains found us." Mineta said, before he got a slap to the face. "What was that for?"
"You have zero right to complain about them finding us. You're the one who alerted them of our position in the first place when you opened that door." Weiss stated. "I'd give anything to have my weapon on hand right now."
"Well, we do have one person who's got weapons on them." Ruby said. "Scythe, think you can make it?"
Scythe nodded before using his lightning to run off, into a tree, pulling out his dual butterfly blades, which he named Sting and Rogue in their dual forms.
"What's he gonna do with a couple of swords from all the way over there?" Mineta questioned as they hid in the shrubbery.
"Trust me, there's more to his weapon then meets the eye." Ruby stated. "Impressive part is, I didn't give him a hand with the blueprints or making the weapons themselves, he made them all on his own."
"Maybe we could use that elevator to get to the top floor once they're gone." Kaminari said.
"I doubt it's that simple." Weiss stated.
"She's right. Only authorized people can use the controls of that elevator unfortunately." Melissa added. "An' I don't have the authorization to use it. An' it's built like a bomb shelter so we can't even break in and try."
"Of course we can't got the easy way." Mineta said, clutching some shrubbery in frustration.
"Hey, sometimes it's better to go the hard way, than the easy way. You wanted the life of a hero, this is as close as you're gonna get before getting you license." Ruby stated.
The elevator door, binged, signalling the villains in it had reached the eightieth floor, and it opened to reveal two men. One of them was tall with a long neck and a face resembling a catfish, and the other was short with black hair, sort of resembling the shape of a Russian Nesting Doll.
"Look at their clothes. They're definitely the villains from the party." Ruby said.
"Boss said the kids came in here." The short one said.
"They just had to pick a place with so many hiding spots." The tall and lengthy one groaned.
"They're after us." Uraraka whispered covering her mouth.
"Stay quiet." Iida said.
'Alright Scythe, if you're gonna make your move, now's as good a time as any.' Ruby thought.
"Hey we see you, stupid kids." The tall lengthy one called out.
'C'mon Scythe they've spotted us. Take the shot.' Ruby groaned.
"What'd you say you bastard?" The sound of Bakugo's voice echoed from near the villain's position.
'Katsuki?' Ruby thought.
'Daddy's here?' Jack inquired.
Ruby turned to look in the area, and saw Bakugo, Kirishima, and Pyrrha all standing across from the villains, with the two redheads trying to calm him down.
"What are you three doing here?" The short villain asked.
"Heh, that's what I'd like to know to." Bakugo said, taking a step to them.
"Hey man, just take it easy." Kirishima said. "Leave this to me, okay?"
"No, you'll leave it to me." Pyrrha said sweetly. "I'm sorry for my friend's behavior. My boyfriend has a terrible sense of direction and left his phone in our hotel room, so we got lost looking for the party that's going on in the tower on floor two. Yet somehow we ended up on floor eighty."
"Can you maybe point us in the right direction?" Kirishima asked.
"How'd they get all the way up to the eightieth floor looking for the reception?" Mineta questioned.
"Don't lie to me or you'll regret it." The lengthy villain stated preparing to throw an attack with his Quirk.
Before either side could throw an attack at the other, an arrow flew through the air past Pyrrha's head from behind and struck the ground right in front of the villains, causing the lengthy one to stop his attack mid throw. The arrow was made of black metal, with an obsidian shine to its surface.
"What the? Do you kids have a sniper? They're a pretty good shot, but they missed." The short villain exclaimed, not noticing how the neck of the arrow around the head started beeping. But the trio of students saw it and acted.
"No he didn't." Pyrrha said, using her power over magnetic fields to bring up a wall of metal from the ground, just before an explosion went off from the arrow, throwing the villains back, while also singeing their clothes and hair.
The wall of metal had been supported by a glacier of ice that Todoroki made as he leapt out of the bushes.
"This looks like…" Bakugo began, recognizing the ice.
"Todoroki?" Kirishima questioned.
"What the hell was that explosion?" Todoroki inquired, as everyone else came out.
"Where did that arrow come from?" Mineta asked.
"That was Scythe's explosive arrow." Ruby said, before the ice began to crack from attacks hitting against it.
"Go, the four of us can keep them busy down here, we out number them two to one, so we should be able to stall them at least." Todoroki said creating a platform of ice underneath the others. "Look for a way to get to the top."
"What are you doing?" Weiss asked.
"I'll be fine go." Todoroki said. "I'll be right behind you after I clean up this mess."
Weiss grit her teeth, and jumped down the ice pillar Todoroki was making, and slide down its side, before stopping next to her boyfriend.
"You're not getting rid of me, that easily." Weiss stated.
"Katsuki, kick their asses. Show no mercy." Ruby shouted.
"Hit them where it hurts daddy." Jack shouted.
Bakugo smirked, hearing them encourage him to fight with all he's got.
"Don't go telling me what to do." Bakugo shouted with a broad smile on his face.
"Wait, you guys are here to?" Kirishima asked. "Now what the hell's going on Todoroki?"
"You didn't hear the broadcast alert?" Todoroki questioned.
"I told you it was something important. But no, you thought it was just a mistake." Pyrrha said, sounding a bit annoyed.
"Sorry, I'll make it up to you with chocolates and flowers after we get out of this mess." Kirishima said.
"You're gonna need a lot more than that to make me happy again." Pyrrha grumped.
"Yes ma'am." Kirishima sighed.
"Could you two have your lovers spat some other time? Some villains have taken over the tower." Weiss stated.
"Wait, that's what this is about?" Bakugo questioned.
"We'll explain more when we can." Todoroki stated.
"But right now there's no time for it." Weiss added as the others got off onto the overhead catwalk that lead to where Scythe was at the end of it, aiming an arrow at the ice, with an intense gaze of concentration, with the arrow knotted and the string pulled back. Shocking part was, he's not even in his Argonaut form
"Scythe, let's move. Sniping is no longer required in this situation." Ruby said.
Scythe removed the arrow from the string and put it back in his shadow, before pulling what looked like a gun trigger on the hilt of the bow.
The bow itself was made of metal, with the hilt looking like the hilts of Scythe's blades put together at the ends. Going up more, the tips of the bow where it was strung, looked like the blades, with caps on the tip, pulling the string tight, with the blade of the long katana on the bottom, and the blade of the short katana on top, and curving as the string of the bow was rather right.
After pulling the trigger on the hilt of the bow, the blades began to fold back in on one themselves before they folded into the hilt, and the caps came off the blade tips, retracting into the inside of the hilt, at the end, before he twisted the hilts, and they came apart after they no longer were aligned, before Scythe Zen rolled them on his arms, and they were back to being his dual bladed samurai katana's.
"Wait those have a second function? How do you get the blades to bend?" Iida questioned.
"The blade itself is made strong for cutting, and slicing, while to blunt edge is made flexible for parrying. When forging the blades, I coated the blunt edges in clay-paste which made it bake less in the fire of the forge. To make the blades themselves, I used, orikeshi tanren, and did the whole folding process ten times, even though Penny said it only needed to be done twice." Scythe explained as he began running with them. "I had Penny's help with how to do it, but I basically made the weapons myself. Took me forever to get the magnetic link trigger to work properly."
"You were at the wall, all the way on the other side of where the fight's going on, how the hell did you manage a shot like that without skewering Pyrrha through her melon?" Kaminari questioned.
"Dragon eyes are fiercer than a hawks. If he wanted to, Scythe could hit a bullseye from two miles away with a strong enough bow." Ruby said. "All he has to do, is focus his concentration in his sights, and he's an archery genius. Though he still has a small problem with moving targets, Penny is helping him train, in that, with arrows that have a rubber arrow head instead of a lethal one."
As they reached the doors on the other side of the room, Ruby rushed forward, and spun around, before slamming her feet into the surface, destroying the doors, as everyone else came through with the dust clearing.
"This way's blocked to." Iida said looking down both directions of the hall.
"Great, so what are we supposed to do?" Mineta questioned. "We're like helpless mice stuck in a fancy cage."
"We need a plan." Kaminari groaned.
"Hey Melissa." Ruby called out pointing to the ceiling. "Where does that little vent, up at the edge of the ceiling lead to?"
"I think it runs under the maintenance room, for the sunlight system." Melissa said.
"There's probably an emergency ladder there." Ruby said. "Am I right?"
"Well, yeah there is, but it's a manual relies, so someone would have to be inside to let it down for us." Melissa stated.
"Scythe, got any more explosive arrow?" Ruby asked.
"Tons." Scythe stated, pulling Sting and Rogue out, and turning them into the bow, Igneel. Scythe pulled another black arrow from his shadow, and knotted it on the bowstring, aiming for the hatch, and firing. After the arrow hit, it took a few seconds for the explosive to go off, and it detonated, opening the hatch.
"How is he so good at archery?" Mineta questioned.
"I practice every day, for three hours, when I get home from school." Scythe said putting Sting and Rogue away.
"Alright given how narrow the vent is, we're gonna need someone small to climb up to the vent and the exterior wall, they'll be able to get to the maintenance room, there should be another vent leading inside." Ruby said.
"I got this mommy." Jack smiled, before turning to Scythe. "Can I have a couple blades please?"
Scythe looked at her a bit surprised, but ultimately made her a couple of blades, looking exactly like the ones she had been summoned with, minutes the leather on the hilt, she was amazed though the Scythe had thought to make the blunt parts of the blades serrated and the edges were already sharpened to a fine point. They were even as long as her forearm, and a little wider as well.
"Great, can you make four more just like these, while I get the latter down?" Jack smiled as Scythe wrapped the hilts in one of his old fighting wraps he kept stored in his shadow, before taking the blades, and running to the wall, and using the knives to climb up the wall.
"What the hell kind of upper body training does Jack do to get that strong?" Uraraka questioned, seeing Jack scale the wall so easily with the blades.
"She's determined to master control over her Quirk and become a hero one day." Ruby said, as Scythe repeated the blade making process, with the remainder of what he didn't cut off of his fighting wrap. "So she follows and joins us for training every morning and evening for full body training."
On the outer wall, Jack kicks open the vent, before using her blades to scale the wall with ease, and without fear, before she got to the vent, and flipped over, like a gymnast on a horse, and slammed her feet into the vent, sliding down and into the maintenance room.
"Alright, now to lower the ladder for mommy and the others." Jack smiled. "Maybe Scythe will praise me to." She said with a light blush and a bigger smile, as she pulled the switch, after opening the upper part of the hatch, letting the ladder down.
As the group down below all climbed up, Scythe scaled the wall with his hands, in the form of claws, covered in metal, and sped up there, leaving claw grooves going up the wall, and into the maintenance room before Iida could get through the ladder, and hopped up beside Jack, who hugged him instantly upon seeing him.
"Do I get a reward for doing a good job?" Jack asked.
"Uh… I guess." Scythe said, blushing a bit as he kissed her cheek quickly, causing her to squeal as Iida came up.
"What's her deal?" Jiro questioned following in after him.
"Don't ask." Scythe said, handing her the four other blades. "Here, they should be able to hook to the belt loops of your pants until we can get them proper scabbards."
~Control room~
"What's the deal, can't you find them?" The villain with the blade arm Quirk questioned.
The screen managed to bring them a view of the students running through the halls before Scythe turned around, with his bow and an arrow strung, letting it lose, causing the screen to become nothing but static as he destroyed the security camera.
"Damn it." He said, before contacting his co-villains. "Hey eightieth floor, you're letting those dumb kids get away."
~Eightieth Floor~
"*What's the problem?*" His voice resonated through the earpiece.
"We're working on it." The short stubby villain growled, now a hulking purple gorilla as he was trying to get his bearings through the smoke.
A section of the smoke eviscerated as Bakugo came flying at him, setting off another explosion. The battle had been dragging on for a while. During the first few minutes, Kirishima knocked Bakugo away and took a hit for him from the purple ape, which resulted in the redhead to be sent flying back, being imbedded in the wall by the elevator.
The villain came back and swung his arms down, missing Bakugo as he launched himself through the air, landing on a white solid blade.
"Katsuki, you feeling lucky enough for a home run?" Weiss questioned as her summoned suit of armor mimicked her movements.
"Swing as hard as you can sis. An' put your hips and back into it." Bakugo smirked.
The siblings were working in tandem, as Weiss swung her arms like she was holding the blade herself, and threw Bakugo with her summoned suit of armor, the force of which was amplified by his explosions, as he went flying towards the villain with a smirk on his face.
"DIE." Bakugo shouted setting off an explosion in his opponents face.
Quickly flying through the air, as his opponent came rushing to attack him, Bakugo kept evading the swings of the giant purple fists, and setting off explosions against him, as the siblings continued to work in sync with Weiss also sending skewers of ice at the villain, along with summoning a Boarbatusk, and sent it spiralling like a buzz saw at the villain who caught it, before throwing it up in the air away from him, only for Bakugo to land an explosion on him.
Over on the other side of the plant factory near the elevator, Todoroki and Pyrrha were busy fighting with the tall lengthy villain, with his hands grown and spread like webbed flippers, throwing attack after attack at them.
He was a fast runner, but he was unable to outpace Pyrrha, flying past him by using her magnetism to send her off the ground. As he was about to throw another attack at her, he was forced to jump into the air, evading another of Todoroki's ice skewers, swiping his hands multiple times, causing boulders of ice to land on the ground.
"This guy's not making matter disappear. He's displacing it." Todoroki said, realizing what the villains actual Quirk was.
"Is that how his Quirk works?" Bakugo questioned as they were close to one another, as all four of them were in a stand, still with the villains.
"Damn it, we out number them two to one, but we're still just keeping them at bay." Weiss said with an annoyed growl. "They've got a lot more experience than we do, so I knew this wouldn't be easy, but damn I really wish I had my rapier right now. It makes controlling my summons a lot easier."
"Why not summon the suit of armor around you?" Pyrrha questioned.
"It doesn't work like that, I can't just merge with my summonings. My grandfather when I was still a Schnee tried it once, and he lost both his legs and an arm when trying." Weiss stated.
Pyrrha pulled Weiss in close, and whispered into her ear, so neither Todoroki nor Bakugo could hear them.
"He didn't have Dragonslayer Magic, you do. Give it a try. You just might be surprised." Pyrrha said, encouraging her.
Weiss realized that she was right, and looked at her in the eyes before giving a firm nod.
"I'm gonna need some time to focus. You think you can give me that?" Weiss asked her classmates and friend.
"Don't bother. Try it out when we're not in a life or death crisis." Bakugo said, launching himself at his still standing opponent, with the intent to end the fight. "Howitzer Impact." Bakugo shouted, setting off a large explosion that sent the knocked out villain flying.
"Katsuki watch out." Weiss shouted as the lengthy villain sent an attack at him.
Bakugo just barely managed to dodge it, with only his shirt sleeve getting torn up from the attack.
"Damn you kids." The lengthy villain said before looking at his palm. "What the hell is this?"
"That's the sweat from my brother's palms." Weiss smirked, seeing an opening for Todoroki to strike as she they looked at each other. "It works just like Nitroglycerin."
His eyes widening in realization, Todoroki sent a large burst of flames at the villain, igniting the explosive sweat on the villain's hand, knocking him out as he was sent down a ways, before coming encased in ice after landing painfully on his back.
"Kirishima, are you okay?" Bakugo asked as the four of them ran to the redhead's place where he made impact after taking the blow for Bakugo.
"Um, I can't move, can you get me out of here?" Kirishima questioned.
"Are you that stupid?" Bakugo questioned looking at him.
"Kiri, you might wanna deactivate your Quirk." Pyrrha said with a soft giggle, her body no longer covered in her iron dragon scales.
"Oh, right." Kirishima said, blushing a bit as his hands returned to normal. "Guess I should have thought of that."
"We're just glad to see you're not injured." Weiss said kneeling down in front of him. She then took his face in her hands, and forced one of his eyes to stay open. "Though I'm concerned that impact with the wall might have given you a minor concussion."
"I'll be fine." Kirishima said.
"Just to be safe." Weiss said, doubting his words, as she formed a crown of ice around his head. "I'll leave my ice to heal any brain damage you might have sustained."
"Wow Weiss, you really have changed from the spoiled rich girl I saw when we first met." Pyrrha smiled.
"Life has a funny way of changing people." Weiss chuckled.
"Right. Now that we've got this settled, let's catch up with the others." Todoroki said.
"Don't order me around." Bakugo said as they followed him.
"Todoroki, Weiss, time to give us some details." Kirishima stated.
Todoroki and Weiss were about to explain what was going on, before the sound of a siren was going off and multiple security drones, shaped like fancy garbage cans, came down and surrounded them.
"Looks like they've gotten serious." Todoroki said.
"Everyone stand back, and let's hope your electronic devices are insured." Pyrrha said.
"Pyrrha what are you doing?" Kirishima questioned as the Amazonian warrior stepped forward.
"I'm going to set off an EMP using my own magnetic power." Pyrrha said. "Doing one large enough to affect all the drones surrounding us will drain me of every last bit of energy I have left, I'll probably fall unconscious, but it should work."
"An' if it doesn't?" Todoroki questioned.
"Isn't it obvious Icy-Hot?" Bakugo asked. "We keep fighting and protect Red for as long as we can."
"Right." Weiss added, covering her arms in ice gauntlets.
Pyrrha took in a deep breath, before she let it out, and continued to repeat it, gathering all her magnetic energy in the palms of her hands, cupped near each other over her chest. As the drones neared, Pyrrha could feel that the energy was nearing critical mass and needed to be released, but it wasn't big enough to let off and down all these drones just yet.
'Almost.' Pyrrha thought. 'I didn't tell them all the truth about my power, especially about what I can do now. Ozpin chose me, and he entrusted me with this gift, with this responsibility. I will not waste it. Though I was not born with this power, just like All Might wasn't born with One-for-All, I was chosen to bear it, and I will do so with pride and honor.'
"Then I think it's time, we showed them your true power, Ms. Nikos." A woman's voice echoed in her head, as Pyrrha's left eye was lit with amber flames, as she added the Maiden's power into the EMP to intensify it, as the voice began to weaken in her mind. "The power of the Maiden is yours, use it to protect your friends."
'I will. Amber.' Pyrrha thought as she finally released the EMP, frying the circuitry of all the machines in the vicinity of the plant factory.
As the lights died down from the massive electrical magnetic surge, Pyrrha fell to her knees, keeping herself up as she supported her weight on her hands, breathing heavily and feeling exhausted.
"Pyrrha." Kirishima said, coming to her side. "That was incredible. How'd your eye do that?"
"It's what happens when… I do an EMP on… any magnitude beyond a satellite dish." Pyrrha said, lying about how she did that. 'Sorry Kiri, but the power of the Fall Maiden must be kept a secret.'
~Control room~
"Boss. Those are no ordinary kids in the tower, especially the little boy." The Villain at the control panel said, having pulled up the teen's school profiles. "They're students from U.A High's Hero Course. An' the little boy is the one who took down the Hero Killers. They're well trained."
"*Brats are probably trying to restore the security system, be on alert. Have Joker and Quinn deal with All Might's grandkids.*" Wolframs said. "*You sent out the security drones on the eightieth floor right?*"
"Yes sir."
"*Then raise any barriers from floors level one hundred to one thirty, and let them pass freely.*" Wolfram said.
"Sir?"
"*Just do what I say.*" Wolfram said.
~Floor 110~
"Seems like we've gotten pretty lucky." Kaminari said. "They path's been clear since we passed the hundredth floor."
"Yeah, do you think we lost them maybe?"
"Do you want to jinx us?" Ruby questioned looking at Kaminari.
"I doubt we've lost them." Jiro said.
"It's quite possible they're leading us somewhere." Momo said.
"Likely." Iida said.
(Cue Music… Red like roses Pt1: RWBY)
"Even if that were true, we've almost made it to the top floor." Ruby said. "Scythe, whatever you have planned to help Jack keep up with you, be prepared to use it."
"I'll need a boost to finish recharging my energy." Scythe stated.
"Kaminari, can you shoot Scythe with all the electricity you have?" Jiro asked.
"I could, but then I'd be dead weight to you all when frying my cerebral cortex." Kaminari said.
"Wow you actually know the scientific term for which part of your brain you fry." Jiro said shocked.
"I'm not an idiot you know." Kaminari stated.
"It doesn't matter. Kaminari won't be dead weight if he's able to charge Scythe's energy with an electric shock." Ruby exclaimed. "You haven't noticed, but the amount of electricity you can produce before becoming a dumbass as steadily increased. Just shoot Scythe with as much as you can spare so you can stay in the fight."
"Got it." Kaminari said.
"We're so close to this being over. We can't stop now." Ruby stated as they reached the one hundred thirtieth floor laboratory doors, looking through the windows.
"So many robot sentries." Uraraka stated.
"The villains aren't just trying to block us in anymore." Iida said. "It looks like they're actually trying to capture us now."
"If so then that probably means they've realized we're hero course students." Ruby said.
"If that's true, then there's no reason to hold back and show them what we can do." Momo said, making proper sheaths and a belt for Jack's weapons.
"You're right. We'll go ahead and commence with Plan-A." Iida said, looking to Ruby. "You ready to do this?"
"Born ready." Ruby smiled, as lightning crackled around her fists. "I won't let you all down."
"Before we do anything I should probably give Scythe his recharge." Kaminari said, putting a hand on Scythe's head. "Ready kid?"
"Just get it over with." Scythe snickered.
"You asked for it." Kaminari smirked, before Jack grabbed Scythe's hand just as he let loose the electrical surge, causing the lightning surge to course through both kids.
"Oh, I feel all tingly." Jack smiled.
"Jack, if you can protect Melissa and keep her safe, even if she gets a few bumps, scrapes, and bruises, I'll be sure to make you a cloak like mine, just like you've been asking for." Ruby exclaimed.
"Really mommy?" Jack asked as Kaminari finished his electrical surge.
"You bet sweetie." Ruby smiled. 'A little incentive never hurt to encourage someone.'
"Rose?" Iida asked.
"Let's do this." Ruby said holding out her hands, balled into fists as Iida grabbed her wrists, activating the engines in his legs, as he began to spin around before throwing Ruby through the opened door, and into the crowd of sentries.
"Here I come." Ruby shouted.
Ruby landed on the ground in the middle of the horde of sentries, as she had her lightning crackling all around her, as she got up from her kneeling position.
As soon as she was on her feet, the sentries came at her. Treating this like the time she had to fight that entire pack of Beowolves after she finished visiting her sister grandmother's grave, Ruby jumped into the air, her hands surrounded by the snapping and popping of electricity.
Ruby fired off a few lightning bolts from her fingers and each one hit its mark, as she came back to the ground. Moving swiftly and fluidly, Ruby kicked another sentry in the body, and sent it into another before she sent off another lightning bolt, causing a small explosion that got several more sentries caught up in it.
Twisting around, Ruby flipped over another sentry, and grabbed its head, before using the momentum to throw it into several more of its companions.
Ruby could see she was still outnumbered, but that didn't matter to her, it was fun to let loose after a while of not being able to. Ruby quickly ran and slid on her knees, evading the claws and capture ropes of some of the sentries, before gripping the ropes that wrapped around the others, and swung them around like a ball and chain, enforcing her swings with One-for-All, and destroying the last of the robots, before slamming the sentries attached to the capture ropes on the ground, with a smile on her face as they burst into flames.

"Wow, all that destruction, and she still managed to keep all the servers from being damaged." Melissa said looking over the side of the railing. "I'm impressed."
"Mommy's the best." Jack said as Jiro got on the ground.
"Jiro, do they have backup?" Iida asked as they made their way to Ruby.
"Yeah, coming from the left." Jiro said.
"Then we're heading the opposite way." Iida said as they ran to the right.
"Ruby that was amazing. Your speed and strength really are like All Might's." Uraraka said.
"Not quite. I'm still holding myself back quite a bit so I don't damage my own body." Ruby stated.
~Reception Room~
"*Boss, there's something interfering with the drone's sensors.*" The villain at the control panel at the top of the tower said. "*We've lost those kids.*"
"Lose the chatter, we don't know if one of those brats has a Quirk that'll let them spy on us." Wolfram said before disconnecting the connection.
"Something wrong?" All Might asked with a smug smile.
"Your grandson, his power seems extraordinarily strong. What is he, what's the name of his Quirk?" Wolfram asked.
"My grandson is strong. Stronger than even you." All Might smirked. "His Quirk, is powerful enough to slay even a god. His power is Godslayer."
A small amount of chatter began to fill the room before Wolfram silenced it with another gun shot into the air.
"It seems we've underestimated your family." Wolfram said. "No matter, we've nearly got what we came for."
~Japan Hassaikai HQ Location~
"Thank you, for looking after Eri, while the heroes were investigating us." Chisaki said, as Skewer came out of his car, and took a scarred looking Eri out of the backseat. "We had to make sure the heroes stopped investigating us before we could have you bring her to us."
"Just answer me one thing. Exactly what are you planning on doing with her?" Skewer questioned. "I've seen the scars on her arms and legs. So I wanna know what the deal is Chisaki."
"It's none of your concern really. Eri's cells are just the key component to our master plan." Chisaki said as Irinaka brought two suitcases to Chisaki, one filled with money, before handing him the other briefcase.
"What's this?" Skewer asked, opening the case, and looking inside it.
"Something you'll need for making sure Huntress's child is compliant with you, and won't fight back." Chisaki said.
In the case was a thick black collar looking large enough to fit around a child's neck, and thick enough to be able to contain several vials of a black fluid like substance, with several more and a remote beside it.
"What's the black liquid in these vials?" Skewer asked, grabbing one between his fingers.
"Liquefied Obsidian. We did some research and found that with the child's draconic nature, his only weakness is the volcanic glass that you now hold in liquid form. Put that around the kid's neck, and he'll submit to you, as you bring him to me." Chisaki said. "Oh, and one more thing, don't call me Chisaki again. I've relinquished that name long ago, I go by Overhaul now."
As Skewer begrudgingly left, Chisaki had Eri taken to a room prepared for her, while he went to his lab, where he found some results he's been waiting on for a while now.
"Alright let's see. We've tested the blood and cells belonging to Huntress's child, to see if we could turn them into a drug as well. Now according to these results… huh I don't believe it." Chisaki said his eyes going wide with shock.
"Boss. Eri is secured in her room, what do you want us to do now?" Irinaka asked.
"Prepare two experiment rooms here at the base like the one we used for Eri at the warehouse." Chisaki said.
"Two sir?" Irinaka questioned.
"The other child's tests came back. His blood and cells, are compatible with Eri's, which means he's the perfect subject to be producing the serum that reverses the Quirk Destroying Drug's effects." Chisaki explained.
"I don't understand sir." Irinaka said a bit confused.
"We'll use Eri's body to make the drug that destroys Quirks, while using Scythe's body to make the serum that counteracts it. His cells are the key to that." Chisaki said, smiling under his mask.
"I get it now sir. I'll be sure to get our men to build the two experiment rooms." Irinaka said before leaving, closing the lab door behind him.
"With the two of them acting as the supplies for our drugs and serums, the Yakuza will be back on top of things. Controlling Japan, pulling strings from the shadows. All we need, is for Scythe, the child of Huntress and Sombra, to come looking for his sister." Chisaki said, pulling out his phone, as he was devising a plan. "Skewer, it's Overhaul. There's been a slight change in plan."
