(Many of you are wondering why the officer pulled a gun on Yuki two chapters ago and here's my explanation.
Yes, it's true that there are a bunch of weird physical features in the My Hero Academia world. That doesn't exclude that people are not affected by these features. One can still be startled by another person's appearance, especially if it's a stranger, in the My Hero Academia world. Furthermore, the officer was told that he was a suspicious person with facial features hidden, which only escalated the surprise of when he got a close up of Yuki's face.
…
Anywho, that's all I wanted to say. That and please stop nitpicking all the minor details like, "Why didn't Yuki just fly from the alleyway instead of turning into a snowman." or "Why did the police chase Yuki instead of calling some Pro Heroes?" because here are two questions to that question… "Who cares?" and "Does it matter?" because it's not relevant to the plot at all…
Okay, now THAT'S all I wanted to say. Now it's time for the daily shit post part of my author's note…
You guys remember O Entertainment and DNA Productions at the end of every Jimmy Neutron episode and that three eyed chimp would always come out and say, "Hi! I'm Paul."? I remember that. I miss those good ol' days…
…
Wait, I never watched Jimmy Neutron…
*sounds of angry fans furiously typing intensifies*)
Several cars drove down the street as Yuki turned the corner of the street as he concealed his face under his hood, wearing the same sky blue ski mask with red goggles underneath his hood. He kept his head down to hide his already hidden face for precaution as he passed many people who walked by him. A few of them even bumped into him, only to comment a rude remark to him, though Yuki did not listen.
He approached the Omnitech building as he entered the front doors, getting trapped in the revolving doors as an employee exited the building. He was suddenly approached by a security guard standing by the door.
"Sorry. No outside visitors unless you have a pass or you're here to see someone." the guard says.
"I need to see Dr. Kurutta." Yuki replies.
"What's your name?" the guard asks.
"Nise Namae. I'm from the International University of Japan."
"Can I see your school ID?"
"Uh. I was told I wouldn't need it. Just call Dr. Kurutta and say that there's a student from the school that's here to see him."
The guard rolled his eyes as he turned around to grab the radio attached to his shoulder. "Dr. Kurutta, I have a Nise Namae from the International University of Japan." he says.
"I don't know who that is."
"He says he's here to see you."
"Sorry. He must have the wrong guy."
The guard sighed in annoyance as he turned around. "Sorry kid, he says he hasn't-…" The guard suddenly stopped mid sentence to see that Yuki was no longer there. He looked all around him to see if he snuck passed him, but couldn't find him anywhere. "Where'd he go?"
From above, a few snow pellets climbed inside the air vent before disappearing inside completely.
Dr. Kurutta, down in his lab, looked through a microscope as he watched some cells bond with a host organism. At that moment, the air vent from above started to rain snow before it eventually landed on the ground. The snow started to shape shift and materialize into Yuki. Dr. Kurutta was still oblivious to his intruder.
"Dr. Kurutta." Yuki called out, scaring the doctor a bit.
The doctor took one look at the mask person in front of him, not being able to recognize him.
"Who are you?" he asks.
"It's me." Yuki says as he takes off his mask, revealing his abnormal features. "Koru Yuki."
Dr. Kurutta's eyes immediately widened in surprise. "Yuchi?" he gasps.
"You still can't get my name right." Yuki says in a sad tone.
"You're a wanted criminal! You're not supposed to be here!" Dr. Kurutta shouted.
"I know! I came for help!" Yuki exclaimed.
"Help? Help for what?" he asks.
"What do you think?! My condition!"
"What happened to you?"
Yuki pointed to the remnants of the destroyed demolecularization chamber. "That." he says.
Dr. Kurutta glanced at the chamber before glancing back at the teen in front of him. "You're saying that the chamber gave you these powers?" he asks.
"Precisely, doc. Is there anything you can do to help?" Yuki asks.
"Incredible." Dr. Kurutta mumbled to himself. "What was initially used to turn snow into electricity caused to turn a living organism into pure, living snow. I assume you have full control of your abilities, right?"
"Not all of them." Yuki answers. "It's hard for me to maintain my shape and form and sometimes I accidentally release blasts of snow that I call snowstorm blasts from time to time."
"The gas along with the electricity fused with the snow which eventually entered your body, which fused with your DNA and eventually mutating you." Dr. Kurutta continues. "Fascinating! What else can you do other than your 'snowstorm blasts' and your shape shifting abilities that I saw on the news?"
"I can control my density." Yuki starts off.
"Explain."
"Well, I can decrease it to be as light as a feather or increase it to be as hard as a rock." Yuki explains.
"Any other abnormal abilities?" Dr. Kurutta asks.
"I can manipulate the snow around me, but only when I'm touching it." Yuki continues to explain. "Whatever I think of comes out from the snow. Like in Horikoshi Plaza, I thought of a giant fist to emerge from the ground and shortly afterwards, it emerged from the ground. I'm still having trouble controlling it since I inadvertently manipulate the snow around me if I'm scared or stressed or something along those lines.
I can also produce a lot of snow from my body, like when I released that devastating shockwave of destruction, I was producing snow from the bottom of my feet while at the same time manipulating it to create jagged pillars out of the ground. I think if I take in the water in the air, I can automatically freeze it at the right temperature to turn to snow and release it. I'm also immune to physical attacks since I can immediately reform myself afterwards.
One thing I am kind of fascinated in is my body temperature. My body is so cold that if bare skin were to touch it, it would immediately get a severe case of frostbite. If the bare skin continues to be in contact for longer than that, then the person would automatically get frozen."
Dr. Kurutta hummed as he scratched his chin; he suddenly opened his drawer and pulled out an electric thermometer with a cable attached to it. He stuck it into Yuki before plugging the cable into his computer. He turned it on and soon the temperature of Yuki's body was shown on screen:
-500°
"How intriguing!" Dr. Kurutta suddenly exclaimed. "Your body temperature is so low that even the computer is unable to give a precise answer! Not only that but you're colder than liquid oxygen. Even space itself! Your body temperature is so low in the subzeros that the slightest touch of bare skin would give anyone frostbite, just like you said. That machine gave you incredible powers that could even rival All Might's."
"That machine ruined my life, doc!" Yuki shouted. "I need a cure! Can you fix me?"
"A cure?" Dr. Kurutta questions before scratching his chin. "I'm not entirely sure if a cure is obtainable but it might be worth checking out… Though, at a price." he suddenly grew a mischievous grin.
"What do you mean?" Yuki asks, slightly afraid.
"The way I see it, I have you on the ropes." Dr. Kurutta says. "You're a wanted man and I could easily turn you in but you're so desperate that you don't even care. I have you at my fingertips, playing you like a puppet." Yuki glared at him before he started to shape shift his hand into a weapon. "Ah. Ah. Ah. We wouldn't want that now, would we? After all, I am your only chance at returning to normal."
Yuki reshaped his hand back into its normal form before growling silently at the doctor in front of him. "What do you need?" he asks.
"I need enhanced control rods that the city is storing in a federal facility." Dr. Kurutta replies. "It's the only way I can rebuild the demolecularization chamber. I sent in a request but it got denied. I want you to go break inside and steal the rods."
"No!" Yuki shouts. "I'm not a villain! I won't do this!"
"Do you want to return to normal or not?" Dr. Kurutta maliciously asks.
Yuki glared at the doctor as he growled a bit. "Where's the facility?"
Yuki walked down the street after getting the directions and the coordinates of the federal facility he was supposed to intrude. He kept his hands in his pockets as his mask was back on his face; he suddenly turned to the side to see a wanted poster of himself, using the picture that was taken of him in Horikoshi Plaza. He glared underneath his goggles as he ripped the sign off the pole before tearing it in half.
"We are Quirkless and we are free! We are Quirkless, that's no doubt!" chanted a female voice on a megaphone.
Yuki turned around to see a huge protest happening in the city square with hundreds of people holding signs as they chanted along with the girl standing on the stage. The girl held a megaphone to her mouth and was very familiar to Yuki. It was Akira Hikari, the girl he met at the train station and bumped into in Omnitech the day of his accident. She chanted the saying over and over again as she riled up the protesters as they chanted with her.
Behind her was a banner that read: Z.E.A.L. which stood for Zero Enforced Abilities League. The school ID picture of Yuki was shown in front of the crowd with the title HERO over his name in big red block letters. Yuki continued to stare at the protesters in confusion, unable to understand why they were on his side.
"For too long we have been abused and harassed by society!" Akira shouted through her megaphone. "We were denied insurance! We were denied healthcare! We were denied the ability to speak or vote! 80% of this city think they can do what they want to us however they like, but they fail to realize that we are human as well! They have abolished our lives and broken several human decency laws! For too long we have suffered their prejudice! Koru Yuki stood up to the hero society and proved what a man when driven over the edge can be able to do! He has given us hope! He has given us power! He has given us the right to defend ourselves! In the city's eyes, he is declared a villain, but in our eyes, he is our HERO!"
The crowd cheered as they threw their hands in the air as they pumped their fists, all chanting Yuki's name.
"Yuki! Boom ba yay! Yuki! Boom ba yay! Yuki! Boom ba yay!" the crowd cheered.
Yuki continued to spy at the crowd from behind the corner, still bewildered at the protest going on. "Weird." he mumbled to himself as he walked away.
Several cameras panned horizontally as they scouted the perimeter fence of the federal facility, currently holding the enhanced control rods that Yuki needed to steal. One of the cameras was suddenly shot down by a snowstorm blast, no doubt from Yuki's doing. A security guard in the room noticed that one of the monitors turned to static, indicating that one of the cameras was disabled.
"Perimeter team, can you check out Camera 7. It appears to be malfunctioning." the guard says to his radio.
"Copy that."
A guard approached the area where the camera went down, seeing several broken pieces on the ground. He picked up the screen of the camera before grabbing his radio.
"Security team. We have a breach in Sector-"
He never got a chance to finish his sentence as he was suddenly knocked out by a snowstorm blast, sending him flying into a wall. Immediately, the alarm rang throughout the facility; the front gates were then blasted open from the outside as Yuki ran inside the facility, where he was met by several guards aiming various guns at him.
"We're authorized to shoot first! Surrender now!" shouted a guard. Yuki shot a snowstorm blast at one of the guards, sending him flying into a truck. "Open fire, men! Take down that bastard!"
The guards began firing their weapons at Yuki, only for the bullets to go right through his body, creating small holes in his chest made of snow. The guards lowered their guns in astonishment and surprise to see that Yuki was unharmed by the bullets. Yuki, however, shape shifted his hands into a mace and a hammer as he ran full speed at the guards. He collided with them as he swung his weaponized arms at the guards, sending them flying everywhere. One of the guards quickly grabbed his radio to call for help.
"We need backup! Call in the Deadly Trio and the robots!" he ordered.
On a computer screen, three files of three mercenaries were shown on screen with their names and quirks listed.
Name: Twister
Quirk: Cyclone (Emitter)
Description: The user can shoot out heavy winds from their arms and legs to attack, defend, or rescue. The user can control the amount of pressure and wind emitted from their arms and legs.
Weaknesses: When used too long, the user grows tired and fatigued. High levels as well as extreme low temperatures also affect their winds. Any damage to the skin can affect the wind, causing the Quirk to become uncontrollable.
Name: Gemstone
Quirk: Crystallization (Emitter)
Description: Upon touching any inanimate object, the user immediately turns the object into crystal and can manipulate the form into virtually anything. The user can also choose what kind of crystal to use.
Weaknesses: Cannot use on living beings and when used continuously, the crystals start to lose their matter and durability.
Name: Bulldozer
Quirk: Rhinoceros (Mutant)
Description: The user has all the abilities of a rhino with an impenetrable hide and a razor sharp horn for offensive and defensive capabilities. The user also has superhuman strength, superhuman stamina, superhuman speed, and high degree of durability.
Weaknesses: Weak reaction time, low agility, and smells really bad.
At that moment, several garages opened as a small army of robots and the three armored mercenaries came out of them. Twister had armor with the color scheme of light blue and grey as a symbol of wind appeared on his chest. Gemstone had magenta armor that appeared similar to actual crystals with gauntlets on her wrists. Bulldozer simply had a battle suit with his head exposed in order to properly charge and ran into his opponents.
"You chose the wrong facility to break in." Bulldozer says to Yuki. "Now you're gonna face the wrath of the Deadly Trio!"
"If you guys are protecting a facility, why name yourselves 'Deadly'?" Yuki asks.
Bulldozer suddenly charged towards him at full speed, giving little to no reaction time to Yuki whatsoever as he widened his eyes. Bulldozer impacted Yuki, causing him to dematerialize into a pile of snow, which only confused the three mercenaries.
"What happened to him?" Twister asks.
"Did I get him? Tell me I got him." Bulldozer says.
At that moment, the pile of snow started moving on it's own before it eventually took the shape and form of Yuki as he reformed himself once more. Yuki turned around and shape shifted his hand into a hammer before swinging it at Bulldozer. However, because of the mercenary's huge appearance, he only slid a few feet instead of being sent flying into a wall like the rest of the guards.
Gemstone grabbed a baton stick from her holster and activated her quirk. The baton stick suddenly turned to a magenta crystal as it elongated and extended forwards. She rushed forward to her enemy as she swung the crystallized stick at him. The stick only managed to swing right through Yuki as part of his body turned to a pile of snow before he reformed himself once more.
He formed a giant fist made out of snow in his hand as he swung it at Gemstone. However, she used the thick crystal stick to defend herself as she blocked each of his attacks. Yuki was suddenly blown away by a violent gust of wind as he turned to snow once more. Twister approached Gemstone as he used his Quirk on Yuki to blast him away; the pile of snow started to move away from the trio before it got to a safe distance, before it reformed back into Yuki.
Twister fired a beam Cyclone Winds from his arms at Yuki while the snow teen himself fired some Snowstorm Blasts to counter the attack. For a brief moment, both of the pressurized air was stuck in the middle as both Twister's and Yuki's respectful blasts were equal to power. Yuki turned his head to see Bulldozer charging towards him, prompting him to turn to snow to dodge the attack.
However, Twister continued to use his Cyclone Winds just as Bulldozer ran into his attack, blasting him away into a few boxes. Over to the side, Yuki materialized back into existence as he fired a few snowstorm blasts towards Twister. The attack was blocked when Gemstone stepped in front of him, wielding a shield made out of crystal she made using a box to block the attack.
Yuki growled before looking down, realizing that there was snow underneath him. He started concentrating real hard as the snow below him and the two mercenaries in front of him began to move. Gemstone and Twister looked down to see that the snow was now all lumpy and currently moving. At that moment, two giant fists emerged from the ground, punching the two mercenaries and sending them flying away. Yuki smiled at his achievement. Now he could finally fully manipulate the snow around him.
His victory was short lived when he heard Bulldozer charging towards him from behind. Yuki immediately reinforced his hands with snow as he enlarged them before placing them in front of him. He stopped Bulldozer's charge as the two were now in a stalemate, a battle of strength. Yuki looked at Bulldozer's hands and noticed that there were small ice particles forming on them instead of a severe case of frostbite.
"I was told about a villain who gives people frostbite with just a single touch." Bulldozer says to Yuki. "My hide is so tough, it's impenetrable! I can survive extreme temperatures both low and high! All it feels like I'm holding an ice cube that's slowly melting in my hand!"
Yuki suddenly started to concentrate all of his power as he began to absorb the water in the air into his body. At that moment, snow started to climb onto Bulldozer's arm, slowly engulfing it. Yuki used the water in the air to vastly produce snow at a rapid rate before eventually the snow engulfed Bulldozer's entire arm. The rhinoceros themed mercenary suddenly lost his grip on Yuki as the teen lifted him up into the air before slamming him down onto the ground behind him.
The teen turned to the side to see the small army of robots, aiming their missiles at him. One robot fired a missile directly towards him; acting quickly, Yuki fired a snowstorm blast at the missile. While he did not send it back to the robot, he did manage to send it off course. The missile striked a wall next to him as the robot fired another missile. Yuki concentrated his snowstorm blasts to the bottom of his feet as he got shot up in the air. The missile impacted the spot where Yuki once was.
He lost his balance mid air but managed to retain it in the middle of the air. He was now hovering high up in the air; another achievement for him. Though truth be told, he still had some trouble trying to retain his flight as he accidentally turned off the snowstorm blasts from the soles of his feet. The robot aimed a missile at Yuki and fired it; Yuki flew out of the way just in time. As he flew, he noticed a few words from the missile as it flew by him.
-AT GUIDED MIS-
Even with just those letters alone, Yuki devised that the actual words on the missile were "Heat Guided Missile(s)". "So, these things are heat guided, huh? Good thing I'm the opposite of that." he says to himself. He fired a few snowstorm blasts at the robot which instantly penetrated the armor, destroying it. Unfortunately, because he fired a snowstorm blast from his hands while simultaneously using them to hover himself in the air, it caused the snowstorm blasts from the soles of his feet to seize.
He yelled as he fell to the ground, landing on the snow with a loud thud; as he picked himself up, he noticed the small army of robots aiming their various weapons at them. All at once, the robots fired their miniguns at Yuki, which only created small holes in his body. Because he was touching the snow, he was continuously reforming himself as he was continuously getting shot.
Glaring at the robots, he manipulated the snow around him and concentrated into the spots where the robots were standing. With his powers, he formed large spikes as they shot up from the ground, penetrating the robots from underneath as they exploded afterwards. A few more robots appeared behind Yuki, prompting him to fly out of the way just in time for missiles to strike the spot he was on.
He landed at a safe distance away from the robots before he raised his arms in the air, causing spikes to emerge from the ground and penetrate the armored beasts from below, destroying them. He was suddenly blasted away by a violent gust of wind, disintegrating him instantly, no doubt from Twister's doing. Yuki immediately reformed himself back to his shape and form as he instantly fired a flurry of snowstorm blasts at the mercenaries.
Each of the three mercenaries all dodged or countered the snowstorm blasts their own way. Twister used his cyclones to counter the snowstorm blasts, Gemstone used the crystallized box she made to block the blasts, while Bulldozer simply crossed his arms in a defensive position. Yuki turned his head behind him, noticing the garage to the facility. He then realized he was wasting time with the mercenaries and robots and was getting distracted from completing his mission.
He manipulated the snow to create a giant wall in front of the three mercenaries to buy time in order for him to continue on. He turned around and fired two powerful snowstorm blasts from his palms, denting the garage door. A small opening from underneath was all Yuki needed as he dematerialized into snow and slipped in through the small opening, entering the facility.
At the same time, the thick wall made out of snow dematerialized as it turned into a pile of snow. The three mercenaries then realized that their enemy was gone and saw the garage doors all dented up. It didn't take long for the three to deduce where Yuki went.
Inside the facility, Yuki ran as fast as he could through the hall to his unknown destination. Ah of him on the other end of the hall, multiple guards appeared around the corner and aimed their weapons at him.
"Freeze!" one guard shouted.
Yuki continued to run as he fired a snowstorm blast at the group of guards, sending them flying into a wall. One guard groaned in pain as Yuki grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and brought him up to his face.
"Where are the control rods?" he asks.
"What?" the guard asks.
"The enhanced control rods! Where are they?!" Yuki asks in a desperate tone.
"Like I'll ever tell you." the guard replies. Yuki instantly formed his hand into a spike and brought the tip to the guard's face, mere millimeters away. "The rods are in Sector 8, Vault B!" he cried out.
Yuki threw the guard to the side, not wanting to hurt him since he already got his answer, as he walked away a few steps. He looked upwards and saw a vent above him; he stuck his hand upward as he started to slowly dematerialize in a cloud of snow before entering the vent above. Right at that moment, the three mercenaries arrived on the scene.
Inside the vent, the trail of snow that was a dematerialized Yuki continued to crawl in the vent, looking through various other vents to get a good look at the rooms. The trail of snow stopped at a vent that was above a wall with the words SECTOR 8 on it. The trail of snow turned the corner of the vent as it passed other vents as well, before it eventually came across one with a room underneath it. There was a single vault with a single letter above it: B. This was the vault he needed to open.
The trail of snow dripped down out of the vent and onto the floor as it eventually materialized back into Yuki. He stared at the vault, examining it, trying to find a way inside. Alas, he could not find a single way to get inside and the vault was too tough for his snowstorm blasts to dent. He turned to the side to see a keypad with a number lock beside it along with a container that was used for a keycard to be placed inside.
"Damn." Yuki mumbles to himself. "I need a keycard and access from the main computer to open this vault door. A keycard should be easy but where's the main computer… In the office, which is no doubt probably on the highest level of this building… Good thing I can sneak into vents."
Two security guards were in the control room as they looked over the monitors, trying to see where the intruder was. "Where is he?" one of the guards asks.
"I don't know." replied the other guard.
"Vents? Back room?... Bathroom?"
The head guard looked up from the monitor with an annoyed expression on his face. "Toyama, I didn't know five seconds ago and I don't know now." the guard replies. He suddenly grabbed a radio to the outside speakers in the facility and turned it on. "This Captain Yamamoto of the Musutafu Federal Facility. Please reveal yourself in your location." he announced.
The two looked on the monitors to see if the intruder would show themselves. After a few moments of silence, no one showed up on the monitors.
"I think he's gone." said Toyama.
"I don't know." Captain Yamamoto replies. "I don't like this… I don't know where he is."
Toyama was suddenly struck on the back of the head from an unknown force, causing him to fall onto the control panel. Captain Yamamoto gasped as his partner lost consciousness beside him.
"Right behind you." Yuki says behind the captain.
Captain Yamamoto gasped as he got up from his chair and raised his arms; razor sharp spikes shot out from his forearms as he got into a defensive position.
"I don't want to hurt you." Yuki says.
"Ye-ah, right. Why would I believe you?" Captain Yamamoto replies. "You broke into this facility, took out a number of my men, and destroyed highly expensive robots. You are NOT getting the gold locked up in the vaults!"
"Gold? I'm not here for the gold." Yuki explains.
"Oh." Captain Yamamoto replies. A brief moment of silence passed the two of them. "Well, you're not here for the master server either! I have all my game files saved on there and the prime minister has a secret file titled 'Foot Fetish'... which I probably shouldn't have revealed."
"Firstly, ew. Secondly, I'm not here for the stupid master server, either. I'm just here for the control rods." Yuki says.
"Oh… You're also not getting that."
Yuki groaned in annoyance. "Look, I'm desperate here. I just need these control rods." Yuki replies.
"Why?" Captain Yamamoto asks. "Give me your reason why you need these control rods. And no lies! I don't want to hear any bullshit lies."
Yuki rolled his eyes as he face palmed himself. "Okay, fine." he says impatiently. "I want the control rods so I can give it to a doctor so he can help cure my condition and return to normal."
"I said no lies!"
"Wha- I didn't lie! That's the truth!"
"Yeah, sure. That's what you want me to believe."
"You know, I don't have time for this."
Yuki raised his hand and fired a snowstorm blast at Captain Yamamoto, sending him into the control panel as he crashed onto the ground in pain. Yuki walked over to the captain as he approached the main computer. Yamamoto groaned as he reached out his hand to grab Yuki's ankle. The teen looked down and noticed what the captain was going to do.
"No, don't touch me!" he frantically shouts.
But it was too late. Yamamoto grabbed Yuki's ankle with his bare hand and immediately got a burning case of frostbite. He yelled in horrid pain as he grabbed his wrist as his hand began to blacken and swell. Yuki groaned in annoyance before turning back to the computer. He pushed a key but was immediately met with password protection. He sighed before turning to Yamamoto.
"What's the password?" he asks.
"I'm not telling you. Holy crap, this hurts." Yamamoto hisses.
"You think that hurts on your hand? Imagine the pain on your entire face."
Yamamoto gasped as he widened his eyes as Yuki bent down, hovering his hand over his head. He instantly got the message.
"SYGON! The password is SYGON!" Yamamoto shouted.
Yuki returned to the computer and quickly typed the password on the computer, only to be met with an error. "That's the wrong password." he says.
"Did you hit caps?" Yamamoto asks.
"You stupid- Oooh." Yuki groans.
He hit the caps lock and quickly retyped the password, this time earning access to the system. He clicked the Sector 8 tab before clicking Vault B; he then clicked the UNLOCK button typed underneath it. Back at Sector 8, Vault B, the vault's locks could be heard unlocking as the keypad lit up.
Yuki turned around and bent down to Yamamoto, whom was busy leaning against the wall, firmly grasping his hand. He bent down to grab the keycard that was attached to his belt only for Yamamoto to swing his arm, which had spikes coming out of them. Instead of injuring Yuki, he only managed to create a gash on his arm as snow got blown off, before he quickly reformed himself.
"I'm immune to physical attacks so anything you try to do is useless." Yuki tells him. Yamamoto sighs in defeat as Yuki grabbed the keycard attached to his belt. "What's the pass code to the keypad?"
"The pass code is 1111." Yamamoto replies in a tired/defeated tone.
Yuki only looked down at the captain with a bewildered expression on his face. "This facility, I swear." he mumbled to himself as he walked off.
Yuki walked out of the room as Yamamoto was left to his frostbitten hand; he suddenly reached inside his pocket and grabbed out his phone.
"Siri, how do you treat frostbite?" Captain Yamamoto asks the AI.
Yuki swiped the card through the slit of the keypad before punching in the four digit code. Immediately, the secondary locks of the vault unlocked as it started to open slowly.
The door behind him suddenly got kicked off it's hinges as it slid across the ground. Yuki turned around to see the three mercenaries standing before him, with Bulldozer up front. No doubt he was the one who bust the door down.
"What's this? A party? And nobody invited us." Bulldozer says.
Yuki immediately shot out some snowstorm blasts, only for Gemstone to block it with a crystal shield.
"He's got to be the dumbest person we ever fought." Gemstone says.
"Just leave me alone! I need these rods!" he yelled at the trio.
"No dice, kid." Twister replies. "We were hired to guard this facility until the buyers come and pick up their equipment. That means stopping you, villain."
Yuki glared at the three. "I'm not a villain!" he shouts.
He slammed his arms to the side as he quickly produced snow from the soles of his feet at a rapid rate. Though he could control his snow production abilities, said abilities were let loose once Yuki loses control of his emotions. The whole room was suddenly blanketed in snow as Yuki began to inadvertently manipulate it, causing jagged pillars to shoot up from the ground.
The three mercenaries all jumped out of the way just in time as the jagged pillars erupted from the spots they were standing on. Bulldozer, who was wielding a flamethrower, smirked as he aimed the gun at the snow teen. "Good thing I got this from the armory. Fire melts snow!" he shouts as he pulls the trigger.
A stream of fire came shooting out of the tip, right towards Yuki; acting quickly, the teen fired powerful snowstorm blasts at the fire, which caused it to stop in mid air. He successfully stopped the flame from touching him as he raised the pressure of his snowstorm blasts, which pierced right through the flame, colliding with Bulldozer. The rhino themed mercenary was sent flying into a wall as Gemstone threw three sharp crystals at Yuki.
The three crystals impacted as they got jabbed in his body; Gemstone suddenly shined a laser that was attached to her belt onto the crystals, which the light fragmented into several directions. Yuki was blinded by the bright light as he became a walking disco ball.
"He's blind! Twister! Use your cyclones!" Gemstone shouts at her ally.
"With pleasure." Twister replies.
The Cyclone Quirk user powered up his winds in his arms as he shot them straight at Yuki, whom was still blinded by the flashing light. Twister released his cyclones as they circled around his forearms; he suddenly started running as fast as he can at Yuki, charging full speed at his opponent.
"Hurricane Punch!" he shouted the name of his super move.
He shot out his cyclones towards Yuki's feet and upon impacting with the ground, they began to circle the teen. Yuki looked down, still slightly blinded by the lights, to notice that he was in the eye of a small storm. Twister increased the pressure of his cyclone as he concentrated his Quirk to his right arm, which the winds circled around it. He then used all of his strength to send an uppercut right into Yuki's jaw.
Upon impacting with Yuki, the teen was immediately disintegrated as the snow that was once him got trapped in the cyclone that was spinning in the spot. Eventually, the cyclone disappeared as the pile of snow fell onto the ground.
"Bulldozer! Use the flamethrower!" Twister ordered.
Bulldozer approached the pile of snow that was once Yuki as he aimed the weapon at it. Suddenly, a massive arm made out of snow shot up from the ground as it grabbed the flamethrower, bending the barrel in half. A giant fist also made out of snow got shot from the ground as it punched Bulldozer, back into the same wall he crashed in before.
The pile of snow quickly started moving as it formed itself back into Yuki; he yelled as cold air hovered around his hands as he built up power for his snowstorm blasts. He then released them and shot the snowstorm blasts at both Gemstone and Twister.
Gemstone quickly placed her hand on the ground. "Crystal Shield!" she shouted. The floor immediately turned to violet crystal as a huge wall made out of the entirety of crystal shot up from the ground, blocking the attack. "Crystal Dome!"
Yuki looked down to see that the crystal floor began to move as it suddenly shot up in the air. It eventually went over Yuki before connecting up top, forming a dome around him, trapping the snow teen in a dome that was made out of pure diamond.
"That'll hold until the Pro Heroes arrive. That dome is layered in five inches of pure diamond. He's not going anywhere" Gemstone says.
Loud banging could be heard from inside the dome, startling the two mercenaries. More banging could be heard which only alarmed the two of them even more. The dome's usual purple color suddenly turned sky blue before a hammer made out of snow burst through it, creating a hole in it. The two mercenaries gasped as they backed up a bit as Yuki stepped out of the crystal dome.
"My body temperature is colder than space." Yuki says. "You think a diamond dome can hold me? While it's true that diamonds are technically 'frozen', it doesn't mean they can't get more frozen. I just simply decreased the temperature until it was cold and fragile enough to shatter like glass."
"This kid is a goddamn genius." Twister growled.
"Well you know what they say." Bulldozer says as he began to charge at Yuki. "Brawn over brains!"
Bulldozer ran at full speed as he aimed his sharp horn at Yuki; the teen stood there as he manipulated the snow to create a fist, uppercutting Bulldozer right in the jaw as he got sent flying towards the other two mercenaries. Gemstone grew wide eyes as she saw her ally falling directly towards her. She had no time to react as Bulldozer fell right on top of her, causing her to groan in pain and gasp for air.
"It's actually brains over brawn but I appreciate the attempt!" Yuki shouted.
He fired a snowstorm blast at Twister, who countered the attack by using his cyclone winds. "Get off me, Dozer!" Gemstone shouted at her teammate.
"Sorry." Bulldozer apologizes as he got off his teammate.
Yuki yelled as he slammed his arms into the snow covered floor, creating roots of snow to move throughout the floor. The roots eventually shot up from the ground, turning to jagged pillars; the three mercenaries all moved out of the way as the jagged pillars of snow penetrated the wall. Unfortunately, the latex part of Gemstone's costume got cut by the razor sharp tip of one of the jagged pillars.
Bulldozer suddenly placed his hands around a large container. "Approximately 2% of my body mass is fat." Bulldozer announces. "Allow me to demonstrate what 5000 pounds of pure muscle is capable of."
The rhino themed mercenary suddenly lifted the large container, which weighed well over 50 tons, and threw it at Yuki. The teen looked up with wide eyes to see the large container falling towards him. He raised his arm in the air in a defensive position before the container landed right on him, immediately disintegrating him.
The three mercenaries all caught their breaths, thinking they were victorious in the fight. Unfortunately for them, the snow suddenly began to move as a trail of it started moving towards them, before it started morphing. The snow eventually materialized into Yuki, who shape shifted his hands into a hammer and a mace.
"Oh come on. Are you kidding me?" Twister whined.
Yuki growled loudly as he rushed forward to his three enemies; he swung his mace arm towards Twister, who jumped out of the way on time before swinging his hammer arm at Gemstone next to him, who also jumped out of the way on time. Twister shot out a powerful cyclone from his arm as it obliterated Yuki's mace arm, disintegrating it. Yuki turned around and growled at the cyclone mercenary; meanwhile, behind him, Gemstone jumped up in the air with a crystalized shovel she made.
Yuki instantly turned around and swung his arm, completely obliterating Gemstone's crystal shovel. She gasped as Yuki slammed his hammer hand right onto her head, sending her down onto the ground. She groaned in pain as Yuki towered over her. He was about to form a giant fist made out of snow in his hands when he suddenly looked up and jumped out of the way.
Bulldozer charged right at him only to miss and hit a generator instead. He screamed as electricity from the generator got shot out everywhere, electrocuting the poor rhino themed mercenary. Yuki materialized into existence and noticed Bulldozer getting electrocuted by the generator. He turned around to see that he was standing in front of a similar generator, which sparked an idea in his head. No pun intended.
Bulldozer pulled his head out of the generator as he stomped his feet onto the ground, growling loudly. "I'ma hit you with my head!" he shouts. He slid his foot on the ground as he readied up before charging head on directly towards Yuki. The teen dematerialized just as Bulldozer was about to him, impacting the generator instead.
The rhino themed mercenary screamed as he got electrocuted once more, before eventually pulling his head out of the generator again. He panted, feeling weak from the electricity that got shot into his body; he pulled in one last charge as he ran towards Yuki once more. Just last the previous times, the snow teen moved out of the way at the last second as Bulldozer impacted with yet another generator.
He screamed before pulling his head out of the generator; he panted as he stumbled forwards a bit, no longer able to keep himself awake. With a tired groaned, he fell forwards and onto his stomach as he went unconscious. Yuki turned around to face the remaining mercenaries. 1 down, 2 to go.
Twister powered up his winds as they rapidly orbited his arms before releasing them towards Yuki. The teen countered the attack by firing a single bolt of snowstorm blast that completely annihilated the cyclone wind. He fired another snowstorm blast only for Twister to counter it by using his winds as well. Cyclones began circling his legs as he built up power in them.
"Cyclone Mad Dash!" he shouted.
He propelled himself forward with the cyclones in his legs as he got shot toward his enemy. Yuki instantly slammed the palms of his hands onto the snow covered floor, creating a thick barricade in front of him to stop Twister. Because he was going at high speeds, Twister wasn't able to stop his attack as he went straight through the thick wall. This caused his momentum to heavily slow down as he lost all his winds in his legs. He got shot out from the other side as he slid on the ground.
Yuki glanced at Twister, whom was on the floor, before a sharp crystal penetrated his shoulder. He turned around to see Gemstone threw disks of crystal daggers at him that she created. He dodged the flying dagger crystals before taking the sharp crystal that was stuck in his shoulder, breaking it in half afterwards. He then threw the broken halves of crystal at Gemstone.
She managed to dodge one of the crystals only for the other one to get jabbed in one of her gauntlet, causing it to short circuit. "What in the world?!" she exclaimed as electricity spewed from her gauntlet. Yuki slammed his foot on the ground, causing a large pillar to shoot up from the ground, knocking Gemstone far away from him. Violent winds suddenly got shot through Yuki, creating a literal hole that was perfectly circular in his chest. He turned around to see Twister building up more of his winds.
He absentmindedly repaired the hole in his chest as he built up his own power of his snowstorm blasts. Ice cold air and small ice particles hovered around his hands. Both Twister and Yuki fired their respective winds at each other, with Yuki knocking away Twister while Yuki got his left arm disintegrated by the cyclone. Twister was sent flying but before landing, he activated his Quirk in his legs, causing him to hover in the air for a brief moment before propelling himself forward.
Yuki looked up at the Cyclone Quirk user with a fascinated expression, completely mesmerized on how Twister was able to control his winds at two places of his body parts: his legs and his arms. Yuki looked down at his feet and concentrated his snowstorm blasts in his soles. He was suddenly lifted in the air by the blasts as he too was now flying in the vault room. Twister immediately shot out strong winds from his arms at his enemy; Yuki flew out of the way as he started concentrating his snowstorm blasts into his hands.
As he was doing so, he was beginning to lose power in the soles of his feet but was determined to achieve this skill. Finally, Yuki fired a snowstorm blast from his hand, striking Twister as he was sent flying into a wall. Yuki looked down and noticed he was still in the air; he grew a victorious expression as he shot his arms into the air, overly excited that he was able to retain his flying abilities while using his snowstorm blasts with his hands. His victory was short lived when he swiftly dodged a strong wind emitted from Twister.
The two of them then started having an intense aerial battle in the large room as Yuki and Twister took turns firing shots at each other. Each shot either grazed the other or missed them completely; either way, collateral damage to the vault room was happening. Back down below, Gemstone grabbed her head as she groaned in pain. She looked up to see her ally fighting their enemy up in the air, both taking shots at each other as they flew around at speeds of a car over the speed limit. She couldn't help but pout that she was missing the adrenaline of an aerial battle.
Yuki and Twister continued to fly around the large room as they continued to fire shots at each other. While Twister was firing shots directly at Yuki, the teen himself flew below him and fired his snowstorm blasts at Twister from below. However, each of the snowstorm blasts he shot out missed Twister and hit the ceiling instead. He shot more multiple snowstorm blasts at Twister, all missing him and hitting the ceiling from above. The ceiling started to crack as dirt and dust began to fall from it. The ceiling was growing weaker and weaker, unable to support itself as more snowstorm blasts continued to strike it.
Twister growled as he flew in close to Yuki, who fired a snowstorm blast at him. However, Yuki was brought down as Twister flew right into him; both of them were now falling down onto the floor below. Before crashing onto the floor, Yuki decreased his density as he turned into a cloud of snow, while Twister continued to fall. He screamed at the top of his lungs until he fell onto the ground with a loud thud. He groaned in pain as he began to crawl before a small whirlwind of snow started spinning around in front of him.
Yuki suddenly materialized into existence as he built up power for his snowstorm blasts. Twister quickly got on his feet as he built up power for his own Quirk. Yuki suddenly started to continuously fire his snowstorm blasts at Twister's arm. The Cyclone Quirk user tried to fire his cyclone winds but the snowstorm blasts were proven to be far too powerful for him to even emit any winds.
He was suddenly blasted away a few yards as he fell on his back; he groaned in pain as he stumbled back up to his feet. Ahead of him, he saw Yuki just simply staring at him, standing in place as if he was silently taunting him. Twister built up his cyclones as he shot out his strong winds from his arm. Unfortunately, the winds were suddenly split up and went everywhere right before it could even strike Yuki's face. Twister grew a confused look as he raised an eyebrow before taking a look at his arm. Both of his arms were flaky and his skin was now dry, becoming dry skin all of a sudden.
"You can't control your winds if your arms or legs suffer heavy damage." Yuki enlightened Twister. "Any heavy damage to your skin, your Quirk becomes uncontrollable and is let loose in all directions. My ice cold air is so cold, you got eczema within seconds."
Twister scoffed as he smiled at Yuki, impressed at his intelligence. "You're smart. I'll give you that." he says.
Yuki shrugged his shoulders as he extended his arms, suddenly having a carefree expression on his face. "I was at the top of my school." he reveals.
"You've got to be the smartest person I ever fought, next to my old man of course." Twister says.
"I never had an old man myself… Just a grumpy old grandmother." Yuki replies nonchalantly.
"You're able to deduce our weaknesses within seconds using nothing but science." Twister went on to say. "Freezing an already 'frozen' element to make it as fragile as glass and using your ice cold air to disable my own Quirk. Brilliant, I might say… I would envy you if you weren't a villain."
"I'm not a villain." Yuki says.
"Really?" Twister asks. "Of course you're not a villain. A not villain would break into a federal facility A not villain would take out dozens of guards. A not villain would destroy dozens of robots AND a not villain would fight one of the most strongest mercenary teams in the world." Twister suddenly grew a cocky grin. "Am I right?"
"I'm just here for the enhanced control rods!" Yuki shouted. "I'm tired of being called a villain! I'm not! I'm just a guy with bad luck! All my life I've been doing things by the manual! BY THE MANUAL! I've been following orders by people who abuse their power my whole life! My teachers… My classmates… My boss. Everyone! They think that just because they have Quirks that it gives them a right to bully us Quirkless people?!"
"Quirkless?" Twister questioned.
"Screw that!" Yuki shouted in anger. "Quirks have done nothing but bring me misery in my life! They say those so called 'Pro Heroes' are supposed to help us with villains and natural disasters! They don't care about the Quirkless! They just toss us onto the streets like rats! We aren't even given any sort of insurance or health care! We're not even allowed to vote for that matter because we're deemed as worthless! I've had it with this hero society! I used to look up to you guys! To the Pro Heroes and everything! I always dreamed about either becoming a Pro Hero but ever since I was diagnosed Quirkless, all my dreams were shattered IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE!"
"You expect me to believe that sob story, kid?" Twister asks. "If you were diagnosed Quirkless, then what are these obvious powers you have?"
"That's why I need the enhanced control rods. To cure my condition!" Yuki shouted.
Twister scoffed in response. "Well either way, you're not getting them." he says.
Yuki shook his head slightly. "I knew you would say that… Too bad you can't use your Quirk on me." Yuki retorts.
"You've only disabled my Quirk in my arms. Haven't you forgotten that I can use my Quirk in my legs as well?" Twister asks.
"No, I haven't forgotten." Yuki replies. "All I'm saying is that while you were busy shooting at me, I was busy forming a plan of my own."
"And what plan would that be?" Twister asks.
"You ever heard of the phrase 'the bigger they are, the harder they fall'?" Yuki asks. "Well, this entire room built for the vault has got to be at least… six to eight stories high and the ceiling for the room is also the ground from the outside, meaning concrete. Concrete weighs a lot, don't you think?"
"What are you talking about?" Twister asks.
Yuki didn't answer and simply looked up at the ceiling; Twister cocked an eyebrow as an extremely confused expression took over his face. At that moment, a small rock fell on his shoulder and slid off; Twister looked at the small rock that hit him on the ground, wondering why it fell in the first place. He then looked up, still retaining the confused expression, to see the ceiling above him was slowly crumbling. He shot his head back to Yuki, only to see him have an emotionless expression, before Yuki himself raised his arm in the air.
"I've got to be the smartest person you ever fought, right?" Yuki asks.
He fired a single snowstorm blast at the ceiling; with one final strike, the ceiling collapsed as a huge hole in the ceiling from the inside and a hole from the outside was created. Debris starting falling directly towards Twister, who's eyes shrunk in fear. He then looked back at Yuki, giving him a defeated expression.
"I guess you're right." he says to him.
At that moment, rubble fell right on top of him as he got trapped beneath debris; he groaned in pain as he tried to lift the large rocks off of him, but to no avail. Yuki watched as Twister struggled beneath the rubble, watching as he groaned in major discomfort. He suddenly heard yelling from the side, prompting him to snap his head to the right. There, he saw Gemstone charging towards him, anger in her eyes.
"Dodge this!" she shouts as she held a crystal in her hand.
She went to slam the crystal into Yuki's chests in hoping she could trap him in an armor of crystal. However, Yuki dodged the attack at the last second as he grabbed her wrists. He then placed his hands onto her own bare hands, immediately giving her frostbite. She screamed in horrific pain as she tried to break free out of Yuki's grasp, but the teen proved himself to be too strong for her.
"2… 3… 4… 5." he whispers to himself.
He then threw Gemstone onto the ground as her entire hand was swollen and blackened. She hissed and screamed in incredible pain as Yuki walked passed her.
"You can't activate your Quirk if your hands are heavily damaged." he says absentmindedly.
"Damn you!" she shouts. "Damn you for doing this! Do you know who we are?! We're the Deadly Trio! We've never been defeated before!"
"Look, if it helps, I'm sorry. Alright? I didn't want to do this but you guys gave me no choice. I just want these control rods. That's all." Yuki explains.
"How did you know how to defeat us? Have you been spying on us?" Gemstone asks.
"This is the first time I've ever seen you guys." Yuki says. "I only knew how to defeat you because in the short amount of time I've fought you, I already learned your weaknesses. Rhino guy over there can't steer well when he's charging and he seems like the 'act first, think never' type of guy. Twister could only shoot out his winds from his arms and legs and I knew if I did damage to either of those limbs, they would be rendered useless. You always used your Quirk just by touching objects with your hands so I figured, if I took out your hands, I take out your Quirk as well. Like I said, I was at the top of my school."
Gemstone groaned as she fell on her back, knowing that she lost and there was nothing for her to do. Yuki continued to walk over to the control rods where he approached them and grabbed them before turning back. As he walked towards Gemstone's direction, he decided to stop and look at her from above.
"If it helps… you seem like a genuinely nice girl but… the Quirk ruins everything." he says as he walks away.
As he walked away, he heard the sounds of stone click clacking each other, prompting him to stop. He turned around to see that the spot where Twister was trapped in was now empty, with Twister no longer there. He grew a confused look until the sounds of winds whirling caught his attention. He snapped his head to the side to see Twister charging at him with winds rotating his legs, screaming a loud war cry.
Not having enough time to think of a plan, Yuki quickly improvised and shape shifted his free arm into a circular axe like weapon. He ducked as everything went in slow motion; Twister flew over him as Yuki swung his arm, cutting a huge slash and gash into Twister's chest as it rain blood all over Yuki's face. Twister lost the winds around his legs as he fell to the ground and slid into a wall, before time returned back to normal.
Both Yuki and Gemstone stared at Twister's body, which was not moving a muscle at all. Yuki looked at his weaponized arm before morphing it back to normal. He slowly and cautiously approached Twister who was lying on his stomach. He nudged him with the tip of his foot, causing him to flinch and groan a bit. Yuki used his foot to roll Twister over, before gasping slightly.
Twister's chest had a huge slash across it as blood poured out of his massive wound. His breathing was heavy as he stared at Yuki from below, his eyes slowly becoming lifeless. Yuki had a horrified expression on his face before he backed up. He took one last look at the dying Twister in front of him before using his snowstorm blasts to fly out of there, propelling himself towards the hole in the ceiling.
Back on the surface, many guards surrounded the hole as they looked down, trying to get a look at what was happening from down below.
"That is one big, giant hole." said a guard.
The guard next to him turned to him. "Noooo. You don't saaaay." replied the guard in an overly sarcastic tone.
At that moment, Yuki flew out of the hole and high into the sky with the enhanced control rods in his hands. All the guards could do was just watch and stare at the flying man flying away in silence for a brief moment.
"Was that the master server?" asked the guard.
"Oh no. The prime minister is gonna kill us." says the other guard.
(Deaths in this chapter: 1
Overall Casualty Count: 141
If you're wondering why I'm counting the deaths in this story… well you'll see why…
…
Okay! I can't keep it to myself! More deaths are coming from Yuki from when he eventually descends into complete madness because of the accident.
God, I'm like Tom Holland except not handsome and British. I suck at keeping secrets and I spoil everything to the plot.
Also the fake name that Yuki gave at the beginning of the chapter, "Nise Namae" literally means "fake name" in Japanese. I'm such an original person... NO I'M NOT!)
