A/N: Sorry about that wait. I got really busy as I am an essential worker, so I was still at my job during the crisis. But, due to the virus they're allowing anyone time off for Self Quarantine. So I'm off for now. Also my power went out due to a nasty storm, so they set me back a bit. But, I'm here now for the raid to begin.
Quick side note, to any of you MomoJirou shippers out there (Me included) Anyone else notice how Kyouka's mom (Mika) is literally just a mix of Kyouka and Momo?
(The Day Before the Raid)
Sir Nighteye sat at his bathroom sink brushing his teeth. The raid was coming at a blinding speed and the weight of the situation kept increasing as it approached. Midoriya's words from the previous day were still running through his head. Mirai simply couldn't tell if Izuku's adamance that he could change the future was true belief or strong stubbornness.
Perhaps both.
But, to be so determined and strong-willed to be able to pull through fights and hard struggles vastly differed from defying fate itself. One simply cannot do that. The will of the universe was simply undefiable.
Although...he didn't exactly know that. He was just pretty sure. But, "pretty sure" also meant "could possibly be proven wrong". Perhaps it was time to take the benefit of the doubt. Mirai shook his head as he rinsed off his toothbrush, placing a hand on each side of the sink. Sometimes he felt his power was a curse. It was great for knowledge of a certain category, but it horrified him the rest of the time.
Watching people die…
Watching a future he can't do anything about…
What was the point of seeing the future if he couldn't do anything to change it? What was the point of having knowledge that he couldn't share with anyone without hurting them? Sir sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. He had spent so long admiring All Might and yet it seemed that Izuku picked up on something that he hadn't.
Sir had no hope.
To him, everything was so logical. Something that his parents had burned into his brain. Hope was something that destroyed all points in logic. Sir saw a future and thought there was no way to change it. All Might and Izuku see a future, and they have faith in themselves and the ones around them to be able to defy fate. No matter the struggles, they always had the strength to look towards a bright light and see a better tomorrow.
It was a philosophy that Sir thought was important, but he left the job to All Might.
Maybe it was time to face down probability with will.
Mirai slowly removed his glasses, placing them down on the edge of the sink. He took a deep breath, and looked at himself in the mirror. He made eye contact with his reflection, his irises shifting and changing color as his quirk activated. After a minute, Mirai let out the breath he had been holding and back away from the mirror.
"Hmm...I guess we'll see about that."
…
(The Day of the Raid)
Izuku looked down at his costume inside of its metal case and took a deep breath. The time for the raid had come. He was a mix of nervous and determined.
...Kinda like most of the time.
Momo walked into the bedroom carrying her case. "...Ready?"
Izuku closed the metal suitcase holding his costume and turned to Momo. "Ready." He stood up and the two made it down the stairs and to the command area where Ejirou, Ochako, Tsu, and Kyouka were waiting for them. The Big Three had already left for the Nighteye Agency, which left the first years behind.
Momo received everyone's attention, "Is everyone ready for this?"
Kyouka scoffed, "Define ready."
"Are you ready to go save a child from a villain who can kill you in a single touch?"
"...Wow. Didn't think you'd take that so literally. Well, I think I speak for everyone here when I say we're not backing down." The group picked up their cases and made their way out the door.
"Hey!" Kirishima, being the last one to leave, turned around to see Katsuki leaning against a wall across the room from him. "If you die I'm going to fucking kill you."
"...Uh-"
"I know what I said!"
Ejirou raised his hands in defense. "Got it! Got it! You need me, I understand."
"Hey! I never-"
"Oh no. You don't have to say another word Bakubro. I know you can't live without your best friend."
"Just fucking go!"
Ejirou back out of the room knowing he was pushing Katsuki's limit. He caught back up to the group and they all made their way towards the train station.
(10 Minutes Later)
Eventually they reached their destination and boarded their train. As the group sat down together, Kirishima looked around and chuckled. "Would you look at that? We're on a train ride heading towards a dangerous mission to infiltrate a villain's lair to save someone, and it's actually legal this time."
Izuku and Momo gave a chuckle at the joke, realizing how familiar the situation was. Momo shook her head, "We tend to attract these sort of bad situations, don't we?"
Izuku raised his hand, "Actually, it might just be me."
The group chuckled, and then once again settled back into a comfortable silence. Kirishima looked up from his phone to see Momo leaning into Izuku with his arm around her waist, and a similar situation with Kyouka and Ochako holding hands.
He turned to Tsu, "...Wow. I think we're the world's first fifth wheels."
Tsu smiled, "We're going to have to get used to it. If we make it out alive, perhaps we should find relationships for ourselves." Everyone paused as Tsu's regular bluntness. Izuku felt Momo's hand suddenly grip his tighter.
"Aw c'mon, Tsu. Don't say that. I'm sure everything will be fine," Ochako said, her voice a little shaky.
"No, she's right," Izuku said looking down at his lap. "Not that I don't think we won't win. But, there's always a chance. I-I've actually been meaning to tell you guys something. M-Momo obviously knows already, but I just wanted to say how much you guys actually mean to me." Momo was shocked to see Izuku suddenly want to have a heart to heart with anybody but those in his closest proximity of trust like her, Inko, or All Might (and to an extent Bakugou). "I-I know I don't really talk about myself a lot, but I've been thinking a lot recently that I shouldn't lie about or hide how I feel about things. S-So, I just wanted to say you guys are some of the best things to ever happen to me. And if they were here, the same would go for Iida and Todoroki. I-I just wanted to say that just in case something happened."
Izuku rubbed his arm with a slight blush. His out of character speech surprised his friends, but it didn't lessen what it meant to them in the slightest. Kirishima felt even more appreciated as a friend due to his (limited) newfound knowledge of Izuku's past. To know that someone as closed off as Izuku saw Eijirou as someone so important to him made the redhead feel good.
The unbreakable hero spoke out, "I think I speak for all of us when I say we feel the same about you Midoribro."
Ochako chimed in, "You're an inspiration to us, Deku. We care about you, too!"
"I might be new to the Dekusquad, but I'm really happy to be a part of it," Kyouka said.
Tsu smiled and said, "We all-"
"Hold on," Izuku interrupted and turned to Kyouka. "The what?"
Ochako blushed, "That may or may not be the name I gave our friend group."
"...Why?"
"Because Mina called Bakugou's friend group the Bakusquad and you guys are opposites so…"
"...Uh...S-Sure, I guess."
Momo leaned over to Izuku and whispered, "Do we really have to call ourselves that?" Izuku shook his head quietly, not wanting to make Ochako feel bad. She continued to whisper, "Where did that all come from?"
Izuku shrugged, "I guess I realized that you're not the only one I should be honest to." Soon the train came to a stop, and the group of friends walked out and made their way towards the agency.
…
(Nighteye's Agency)
"Yo!" Sir looked up from his desk to see Mirio walk in carrying a small cup holder tray of coffee. "I know that you probably didn't sleep much last night, so I figured you would need this." He placed the paper cup down on the desk in front of his mentor.
"Is it-"
"Completely chock full of sugar and sweetner? Yep."
Sir let out a sigh as he took a sip, "Thank you. Are you ready, Togata?"
"You bet I am! Those Yakuza don't stand a chance!" The blonde began flicking his arms back and forth in Nighteye's office, the raid only hours away. Sir smiled at his young protegé's commitment to the mission. He felt the question he had asked was pointless. Mirio was always ready to face down evil.
"Togata, I need you to listen to me."
Sir sounded serious (more than usual), so Mirio stopped his antics and turned to his mentor. "What is it?"
"Watch over Midoriya today. Some recent developments have changed his role in our mission. As of now, he's the strongest hero we have. Combining that with the fact that he's more determined than anybody to save Eri, his confrontation with Chisaki is inevitable. Their paths are going to cross no matter what we do. Eraserhead knows he won't be able to hold Midoriya back for long. If the opportunity to get to Eri arrives, he's going to take it. Stick with him. Watch his back."
Mirio opened his eyes wide with surprise. "Oh, well of course. I woulda done that anyway. Midoriya and I already talked about saving Eri. We're a team in this!"
Sir gave a small smile and sigh, "Of course you were already going to. It's just who you are."
Mirio lifted a brow, "You okay, Sir?"
"Yes, yes I'm fine. I'm just a little scared for you kids is all."
"Hey." Mirio placed a hand on Mirai's shoulder. "We'll make it. We're going to win."
"Every victory comes at a price."
"That's not very optimistic! Where's that smile?" He received no response from his mentor. Mirio's hand very slowly raised up to Sir's face and spread his lips into a smile. "There we go."
He grabbed Mirio's wrist and took the teens hand off of his face. "Togata, Chisaki is one of the most dangerous men on the planet. He-"
"Sir, we've got this. Just trust us. I gotta go get suited up, I'll see you downstai-"
"Mirio…" The blonde stopped at the use of his first name and turned back to his mentor. Mirai placed his hands on his protoge's shoulders, "These people will not hesitate to kill you. Chisaki will most likely be the one with Eri. This isn't some low-life thug or mugger. He-"
"Sir, I know. We all know. One touch equals death."
"No, Mirio. You don-"
"Sir…" The blonde grabbed Nighteye's wrist and looked him in the eyes. "What's gotten into you?"
"...I just don't know what I'd do if you or any of the other kids died on this mission. I'm allowing you all to be here. Your blood will be on my hands, and I can't live with that. I know how devoted you are, and I know you'll make any sacrifice to save Eri. Just understand that I'll make the same sacrifices for you if the need arises." He placed a hand on Mirio's head, ruffling his hair. "Now go. Your green partner in crime will be here soon." Mirio began walking away while fixing his hair.
That was...strange. Sir had always been cautious, but he had never given him a speech like that. Mirai also seemed different. There was a gleam in his eye that Mirio had never seen in his mentor before. 'Sacrifices, huh? Well, right back at you Sir.'
…
The metal guards on Izuku's legs clicked into place and his Full Gauntlets, still in their wristband form, were on and ready to be activated whenever he needed them. Izuku stood in the room he had stayed in during the first days of the investigation as he assembled his costume. "You ready to rumble, Small Pint?"
Izuku turned to face Nana who had appeared near the front door. "Almost. I just need to put on one more thing." Izuku looked back to his suitcase and pulled out his final item.
Hatsume truly was a fast worker.
…
(Last Night)
Hatsuem lifted a brow, "Hm...I didn't think capes were your style."
"It's not a cape...Well, it's a waist cape. It belonged to a hero from a long time ago. She's one of my favorites, and she's taught me a lot. I really want to pay homage to her like how my cowl is an homage to All Might."
"What about your belt?"
"I was wondering if you could just attach the cape to my belt. You know, keep the pockets and everything. Except the belt buckle, I want that changed."
Hatsume nodded at the sketch, "I'll make it happen, Muscles."
"U-Uh...Do you think you could get it done by tomorrow morning?"
Hatsume blinked a couple times, picked up the mug of hot cocoa that was sitting on her workbench, downed the whole thing in one big swig, cracked her knuckles, and put her goggles on. "Give me a few hours."
(2 Hours Later: Back at the Dorms)
Izuku yawned as he crawled into bed next to Momo, wrapping his arms around her. He had left Hatsume to her work, not wanting to interrupt her. He had complete faith that she would be done by morni-
*Slam*
The door suddenly burst open with Mei basking in the hallway light. "FINISHED!~"
(Present)
Izuku fastened his belt, the red cloth falling around his ankles. All Might wore his own version of Nana's belt, so Izuku felt like it was like a line of succession. Just as his cowl was an homage to All Might, the belt was his homage to Nana. His utility pouches were still around his waist, but the cape flowed under them. His gauntlets activated and Izuku turned back to the "ghost". "What do you think?"
Nana gave him a soft, but wide smile, "You're going to make this old woman cry."
"In a good way this time, I hope."
Nana's smile sombered, "Yes, a good way this time." Izuku pursed his lips and furrowed his brow. He and Nana had never actually talked about the mystery of the Shimura family deaths. "I know what you're thinking, and don't worry about it."
"But-"
"Kid, we have a lot bigger things to worry about right now than me. It could've been Tenko, it could've been All For One, it could've been some random villain and All For One gave Tenko that villain's quirk out of some twisted form of revenge. Hell, it could've been something completely random for all we know. My baby is gone, but Eri is still alive. And as long as she is, she's a much bigger priority than a family that's long gone."
Izuku sighed, but nodded. "You're right."
"And hey…" She made her way over to Izuku and ruffled a hand through his hair. "I got you to out for now."
*Knock* *Knock*
The door opened to reveal Momo already wearing her hero costume. "I would usually wait for permission, but even if you weren't dressed I wouldn't see anything that I haven't seen before."
"Fair point," Izuku chuckled.
Nana shook her head, "T.M.I. I'll leave you to it for now." She vanished from the room, leaving the two teens alone.
Momo walked up to her partner and began smoothing out wrinkles on his chest. "How dashing. Hatsume did wonderfully on the cape."
"Yeah, she did. And, in Hatsume fashion she somehow made a cape complicated." The teen grabbed onto the cape, sparking a small current of his power through the fabric. The shape-memory fibers sprung to life, forming a semi-rigid structure of the kevlar, asbestos, and Gore-Tex tri-weave. "She's done so much for me. At this point I owe her my life multiple times over. I need to pay her back in every way possible."
"Were you including her when you talked about the people you're grateful for."
"Of course. I don't know where I'd be without her."
Momo's arms moved up to wrap around Izuku's neck, and her head rested on them as she leaned into Izuku's warmth. "And me?"
Izuku lifted a brow in slight confusion, but coiled his arms around his lover. "Do I even need to say anything? You're everything to me. I figured you wouldn't even need to ask that."
"I know I don't. But, I really needed to hear that."
"What's wrong," Izuku asked, leaning his head against her's."
"...Would you believe me if I said I forgot you can die?"
Izuku chuckled dryly, but shook his head. "Actually, I do believe you. I feel the same way about you."
Momo sighed, "I've seen you pull through every situation that comes our way. In my mind I sometimes see you as an unstoppable force. Even after your fight with Bakugou where you were the most vulnerable, I couldn't help but just see how strong you were for standing tall after everything you went through in your past. Now though, I can't stop thinking about Chisaki's power. Even Shigaraki's quirk doesn't kill you instantly. But this...I know you're going to fight him. There's just no way around it, you're going to. Please, if at any point you feel like things are going to go bad, run. Just run. I know for a fact that you're fast enough to get away without issue."
"B-But, what about Eri?"
"Grab her and go."
"And if Chisaki still has her?" All Izuku received as a response was silence. She was in thought, not sure what to do if that specific situation arose. Izuku knew the difficulty of that scenario first-hand and decided to help. "Do you remember when you were about to be taken by the League?"
"That moment is difficult to forget."
"Yeah, sorry. But, when you and Bakugou were going to be taken I was faced with a choice. I wasn't fast enough to save both of you. I could only pick one. Understandably, I chose you. But, I still felt so terrible afterwards. Everything in my being was yelling at me for not saving both of you. I felt what I did was wrong. But, at the hospital, All Might talked to me about it. He asked me what I would do if there was a gunmen, and you were to the right and a citizen was to the left. Whoever I went to save, the gunmen would shoot the other. Who would I save? The citizen is likely helpless, but you're the one I love. If I saved you I'd still be doing my job as a hero by saving someone, but it'd be based on a bias. If I saved the citizen I'd be rescuing the people like I'm supposed to, and you're FAR from helpless and would likely end up fine, but if you somehow died I would lose the one I loved. And it would be my fault."
"The Hero's Choice. One is giving up something you love for someone's life. The other is deciding that the one you love is more important and saving them instead, still saving a life. Both don't allow the opinion or choice of the people you have to choose between. Both are selfish, yet selfless."
Izuku nodded, "Exactly. All Might told me there is no right answer. So, what do I do here? If I save myself, I'd be saving myself for you. I'd be saving myself to keep you from pain. If I die, but Eri is saved, then she'd be happy and well. She'd wouldn't have to suffer anymore. But, then you have to suffer. I'm more than willing to make the sacrifice for Eri."
"I know you are."
"But, I'm not exactly the most logical person when it comes to heroics. Most of the time my life is the least of my concerns."
"You do both. You save Eri, and you come back to me."
Izuku chuckled, remembering All Might's words. "That's almost never an option."
"But it's the best outcome. And if anyone can achieve it, it's you. You also forgot the last choice."
"What last choice?"
"You forget that I'm willing to make sacrifices, too. From your perspective, Eri's life and my life are more important than yours. What if I feel the same about me?"
Izuku shook his head and buried his face into Momo's hair, "That's not an option. I can't live without you. I'd rather it be me. I'd die happy if you and Eri were safe."
"You seem to forget that I feel the same way about you."
"There's a difference. You can find someone else."
"So can you."
"I don't want anyone else."
"Neither do I."
Izuku chuckled, "Now we're just back to square one. We just went in a circle."
Momo laughed with him, but leaned her head back and looked him in the eye. "I wouldn't say that. I think we can now both agree that Eri being rescued isn't negotiable. And now, we have another factor added that the original question didn't. Now we know that the one we love doesn't want to be the one chosen. We have to make sure that there is no choice to be made. We have to make sure that Chisaki doesn't get the chance to give us that decision."
Izuku looked into Momo's eyes and saw the future he wanted to live. He thought back to the look in Eri's eyes and the future he wanted for her to live. "...This time... This time I'll make sure we get the best outcome." He raised his gauntlet covered fist. "Things are different this time around. We're far more powerful."
"And this time I'll be right beside you."
Izuku smiled and kissed Momo. Both melted in their passionate embrace. The moment reminding each teen what they have to lose, and how they refuse to give it up.
Momo pulled away from the kiss and leaned her forehead against Izuku's. "I love you."
"I love you too."
"When do we need to arrive at the police station?"
Izuku looked at the clock, "About an hour and a half." A sly smile slowly crept its way onto Momo's face. Izuku immediately caught on, picking her up walking towards the bed.
…
(A Few Hours Later: The Police Station)
"Everyone, take a tracking device!" Everyone now stood outside of the police station nearest to the Yakuza hideout. Boxes of small handheld devices were being passed out to every police officer and hero in front of the station. The students each grabbed one for themselves and turned them on. A dot began blinking on the screen, text saying that the target was miles away.
Aizawa and All Might walked up to the group of students and gathered them around. Shouta stepped forward, "You all know your teams. Stay safe and-...Where are the problem children?"
"Here!" The group turned to see Izuku and Momo rush towards the group and come to a stop. Toshinori faltered at the sight of Izuku's belt, having no idea Izuku had gotten it. Momo was smoothing out her hair as she spoke, "We, um...lost track of time." She looked over to Izuku and saw his mouth guard was put on backwards and quickly flipped it around.
"...Ooookay. As I was saying, don't start a conflict unless any of the Yakuza resist first. They're going to put up a fight, there's no doubt in my mind."
All Might spoke up, "You've all dealt with villains before. Some of you more than others. But, don't let your experience get to your heads. Remember that these are still very dangerous people. Stick with your groups and follow your orders."
"There is one change, however." The students all turned to Aizawa. "Midoriya…" All eyes were then trained on the young student. "...I need you to remember what I said the other night."
"Y-You mean to stay behind you?"
"Yes, to do everything I say. So that means if the opportunity arises, and I tell you to do so…" Shouta leaned down and looked Izuku dead in the eye. "...then you do absolutely everything in your power to make sure we win. You are the trump card, if the trump card literally flipped the table over and shot the other player."
All Might nodded his head, "In less graphic terms, no one knows what you can do now. Don't underestimate Chisaki, but know that you have not only the element of surprise, but the power to back it up. With everything at risk, we need your kind of power." Izuku furrowed his brow and nodded his head, ready to face any challenge.
Nana appeared to Izuku's right, "Essentially what they're saying is, "find an opening and crack open the biggest can of whoop ass you have"."
"Uh…" Kirishima raised an eyebrow. "When you said no one knows what Midoribro can do now, that goes for us too. What are you talking about?"
All Might gestured to Izuku's wrists, "Remember I-Island?"
Ejirou's, Ochako's, and Kyouka's eyes all widened. "No way!"
Mirio slowly raised his hand, "I still got know idea what those things are."
Aizawa waved them off, "You'll see soon enough. Just get ready. We need to move out."
"Midoriya!" The teen turned to see Nighteye beckoning him over to him.
Momo gestured towards Nighteye. "Go ahead. I'll grab our tracking devices." Izuku nodded and jogged his way over to Sir, and the two walked away from the crowd.
"How are you feeling?"
...That wasn't what Izuku was expecting.
"Uh, g-good. A little nervous, but good."
*Flick*
"Ow!" Izuku rubbed his ear where Nighteye had flicked it. "What was that for?"
"You're not supposed to be nervous. You're supposed to be full of confidence. Perk up, smile."
"Well, isn't a big part of heroism truth and honesty?"
Sir looked at him confused, "Well, yes."
"Then shouldn't I be honest about how I feel? Why hide it behind a smile?"
That last question made Sir even more suspicious, "What are you talking about?"
Izuku shrugged, "It's just something I've been thinking about." Izuku watched as Sir squinted at him questioningly, but ultimately let it pass.
"Whatever you think is best."
Izuku paused, "...What?"
"I've been trying to be more optimistic and hopeful. Even if it means about your methods as All Might's successor." He looked down at Izuku with a smirk. "It's just something I've been thinking about." He nudged Izuku with his elbow and walked off. "Now get your act together. We're moving out."
…
Kai leaned back in his lab chair and sighed. The process of creating the product was much slower than predicted. Eri was still too young to be able to collect a large enough amount of samples to not make her unfixable.
She had been causing so much trouble as of late. The little girl was being so antsy about something. It was as if she was hiding something. Granted, she always tended to be even more jumpy after her failed escape attempts. Making examples out of the babysitters that let her go usually did the trick. They were still cleaning her last babysitter off the wall.
But, there was one big difference about that escape than the others.
The boy.
Kai thought back to the young man in the green costume. He might've been one of the most diseased heroes he had ever seen. So abysmally subservient to the heroic mold formed by the sickness. He latched onto Eri without hesitation and acted as if the girl was his own.
Chisaki could see the heroic fire burning in his eyes and the instant hatred directed towards him.
Just another sick hero that wouldn't understand what he's doing to the world.
Chisaki went back to his microscope to continue working. Suddenly, the door to his lab opened.
"Excuse me, u-uh Boss?"
Chisaki continued to examine the sample in his microscope as he responded. "What is it? Can't you see I'm busy?"
"I'm so very sorry about that, but...the heroes are coming."
Chisaki sighed, "As expected. A little earlier than I thought, but we have time to-"
"Right now."
Kai lifted his head and slowly turned to his henchman. "...Excuse me?"
"The heroes are coming...like, right now. The police are already pulling up outside."
The Yakuza boss blinked a few times in complete silence. Chrono sat to Chisaki's right, and if one could see under his mask they would see worry. He knew the heroes would be coming, but definitely not that fast. "...Thank you. Now go tell everyone to prepare. Tell them to use force. The heroes' arrival so soon is unexpected. We need all the time we can buy."
"Yes, Boss." The pawn left the room with haste, happy that the boss wasn't angry enough to kill him.
Chrono looked around at their lab and shook his head. "We don't have enough time. We were only able to make one bullet."
Kai stood and made his way towards the door. "Then make it count. Grab the product and Eri." He exited his lab to see Himiko and Jin leaning against the wall. "You two, it's time to earn your keep. Deal with the pests."
Himiko giggled, "Okaaay~".
Chisaki stopped and pursed his lips, "...I should probably be worried about how you said that. But, I don't have time to not take the benefit of the doubt." The Yakuza boss walked down the hallway with Chrono on his trail. Just before the door closed, Toga and Jin slipped inside to the lab.
"Ooooo Jin we're going to have so much fun getting revenge for Big Sis Mag."
"It sure will. I'm already bored! But, what exactly are we doing in the lab? I thought we were going to help the heroes take down the lead men."
Himiko began skipping around the room looking at other tubes and files. "We will. I just had an even better idea for how we can get back at them for Magne, and now for that cute little girl!"
"I didn't think you would care about the kid."
Himiko opened up a file and began skimming through. "Tomura said he was using her body to make those bullet thingys that get rid of quirks. I don't know about you, but that sounds like no fun to me. And she's just so cute!"
"Well, what are we here for then? I don't care!"
Himiko giggled as she found what she was looking for in the file and tossed it to Jin. "Just a little bit of information…" She opened up a chilled cabinet and looked inside, her smile even wider than before. "...and a little snack."
…
Dozens and dozens of police and SWAT piled out of multiple cars and armored vans. Heroes arrived on the scene and got into their respective groups. Izuku felt an elbow nudge him in the ribs. He turned to see Mirio looking down to him. The blonde simply gave him a smile and a thumbs up.
Izuku returned the smile in full, punching the palm of his hand and letting power flow through him. He looked across to Momo with the Fatgum group. His girlfriend caught his eyes and gave a smile of her own, this one full of love.
Aizawa was on the phone next to Izuku, and everyone could guess who he was talking to. "Yes...Yes I know I-...Okay... I'll call you when this is over. I-..." Shouta froze, looked around, and then suddenly took off down the street. He sprinted into one of the SWAT vans, closed and locked the doors, wrapped his scarf all the way around his head, put his phone to his mouth, and whispered, "I love you too, Emi."
"I HEARD THAT!" Kyouka shouted from the outside.
"No you didn't!"
Emi chimed in from the phone, "Yes she did."
Aizawa quickly ended the call and made his way back outside, glaring daggers at Kyouka.
The police chief walked up to the estates doorbell and rang it "When I read off the warrant, things are gonna start moving. Things could get crazy, so keep calm and move forward. Find that girl." Everyone nodded towards the chief and prepared themselves. Izuku looked to Nana and nodded. The past user floated up above the gate and looked into the estate. Her eyes suddenly went wide.
"Izuku, get everyone away from the door!" Time slowed down for the current inheritor. Just as the wood of the door began to crack and break, Izuku was already moving. Before a single splinter of wood could fly through the air, he grabbed every officer near the front and ran them away in the blink of an eye.
Rikiya Katsukame burst through the door, charging forward at the officers. "A bit early for a bunch of guests, isn't i-"
*Slap*
*Crash*
"Ah! Wha-...What the hell?!" Katsukame had suddenly crashed into the ground, his body struggling to get up only a few inches. "What's happening?!" Nejire sent a blast at the man's head, knocking him out.
When the gang member had run by, Ochako had simply smacked his leg and increased his gravity. Kyouka pursed her lips and nodded, "Wow. That was...extremely easy."
Nighteye began walking inside, "Don't get your hopes up. It won't stay that way for long." Officers began moving in and spreading out across the estate, covering more ground. More Yakuza with weapons began piling out from buildings and firing down on the intruders.
Ryukyu transformed and protected as many people as she could with her wings. "Froppy, go through the doors and take out the gunman inside. Earphone Jack, take out anyone on the ground."
Izuku turned to Tsu, "Need a lift?" The frog girl turned invisible and hopped on to Izuku's back. In a streak of green light, the two made their way inside. As it turned out, Izuku wasn't the only one who received an upgrade as Kyouka unsheathed her newest piece of gear. She pulled out a blade length tuning fork. At the end of the red hilt, Kyouka plugged in one of her jacks into the input port.
The tuning fork began to vibrate at dangerous speeds. "Yaomomo, I need some cover!" A riot shield immediately popped out the rich girl's bare back, and the two carefully made their way out from behind Ryukyu's wings. As soon as they were a decent enough distance from the others, Kyouka quickly flipped around the shield and jabbed her tuning fork sword (Which she dubbed, "The Equalizer") into the ground; effectively creating a small earthquake in the vicinity. The ground cracked and quaked causing the gunman to lose their balance and fall.
Kirishima, Fatgum, Momo, the Big 3, and many officers all took their chances and made sure the fallen criminals were down for the count. Once unconscious, the officers began handcuffing and taking the gang members back outside to the awaiting vans.
From the main house Izuku and Tsu exited with Froppy holding a large amount of guns without their magazines and Deku holding a large sum of K.O'd men on his back. Nana appeared to his left. "You missed one behind you."
Izuku quickly dropped all the men and whipped around just in time to see a gang member jump out from behind the shrubbery and fire his pistol.
*Bang*
Izuku's world once again slowed as his power flowed through him. He calmly watched the bullet slowly move towards him as if moving through molasses. 'This is so cool...Did I just fanboy over myself?'
Nana nodded, "You did. But, own it."
The bullet was caught by the young teen much to everyone's surprise. The criminals eyes went wide as he immediately dropped his pistol and raised his hands up. "I give up."
Mirio quickly disappeared under the ground and reappeared below the man, uppercutting him unconscious. "Appropriate response. Also…" He quickly turned to Izuku. "That was totally wicked!"
Izuku rubbed the back of his head embarrassed, muttering quietly to himself. Aizawa pushed them both along, "Enough of that. C'mon."
*Beep* *Beep*
Izuku pulled out his tracker and shouted, "Eri's on the move! We have to hurry!" Everyone quickly bolted into the main house and ran through the corridors until they reached a small space where a potted plant was being kept in a space in the wall.
Sir walked up to it, "This exact spot was where Eri's signal began going deeper. There has to be some sort of mechanism here."
Bubble Girl lifted a brow, "Like some sort of ninja hideout?" Everyone then slowly turned to look at Momo.
"Why are you looking at me?"
"You know why."
"... Probably a brick under the plant." Sir quickly lifted the plant and pressed down on the stone. The mechanism activating and the fake wall moving away. A few men were hiding behind the wall, but we're quickly taken care of by Bubble Girl and Centipeder. Everyone looked down the stairs into the darkness.
Into the belly of the beast they went.
