Hello, and welcome to the next chapter!
Vizard Masky; Yeah, as she goes forward, she's delving more into madness. We'll have to wait and see what happens with her. Kenji's already told her that he doesn't want anything to do with her, Yami just doesn't listen. Haha, Reaper can have his scary moments when he wishes to be scary. It might be surprising what happens with that. It surely does yeah~
StrikerTj; Here's the update!
ShadowUzumaki55; They are yeah, we're getting into the thick of things now. Irina's quite determined, and we'll see her determination in this chapter. He did yeah, Reaper's quite a smart person, he's good at reading what they're going to do, among other things like that. The kids are quite worried, but soon it will be over and they'll be able to be happy. Mirio is quite trustworthy yeah. Yeah, we'll be seeing their secret weapon come into play soon enough. Hana's regretting the past yeah.
D N Works; Yup, they're talking about battle. The difference is that they'd be prepared for Tokoyami, Sakura's a bit different where she can basically shrug off attacks that would mostly seriously wound normal humans. Reaper implied that he already knows about that with his dialogue with Kenji. Yeah, Yami's taking it up a few notches huh. Exactly, it's quite damaging to the pair, so he wouldn't mock anyone's pain. They do have a weird friendship between them huh. Reaper most certainly would do, if he makes it through the arc, anyone could die.
jeremiah posey 9; For the foreseeable future, it will be two weeks, for a number of reasons, including not wanting to catch up to the manga so quickly, not putting too much pressure on me to write too quickly, personal stuff among other things.
KarmaChaos5; Kenji promises that yeah~ Eri's still worried, and is being as comforted as she could be right now. Reaper found him, and now they're on the move. They did yeah, Mirio was able to help comfort Misaki in her worries. Yami does use anyone that she can do. Hana's feeling quite guilty for the situation she's put in. Kenji and Hikari's efforts shall soon be seen~ Kenji's trying his hardest and is having Gigantomachia to help him out. Kenji does care a good deal about her. Yami and Daruma have a few plans going ahead huh~?
Chiaki Forever; They did yeah, they were able to have that bond. Eri's quite smart, so she can pick up on subtle things like that. It was yeah, Reaper caught him~ Sir Nighteye and Mirio do know about them, and also are protective over them now. Kenji and Hikari have something planned, we'll see what that is soon. Daisuke's gonna try his best~ He does care about Himiko a good deal~ Yup, Yami and Daruma are ready for what's to come~
Infinite Love 14; Thanks for the suggestions! Maybe it is, we'll soon see what she's talking about~
Silver crow; Thanks! Yeah, Yami's quite something alright~ Yeah, they seem like great ideas. They had quite the cute scene between them huh~? Misaki's trying her best to ease them. Kurogiri got caught yeah, seems like Reaper can be quite sneaky when he wishes to be. She's having help as she does it, that's why Kenji was there with her. We'll have to wait and see if that happens or not. Haha, Mirio is quite like the fun cool uncle type huh~? Yami's not gonna take crap from anyone. Hana's fate shall soon be known. Kenji knows whats happening with Hikari, he's helping her out. Yup, they have quite the friendship between them don't they? Himiko and Twice will be doing stuff during the raid. Yami's faith isn't easily shaken. Maybe he could do something like that. Yeah, it was a great smile from Eri, very well animated, and I have to admit to really liking the song as well. Yup, it seems that it has, and that's made me quite sad, as he was in my top three for Villains. Maybe he will do. I know, she did look awesome huh~? He could be yeah. I could see Hawks and Kenji having interesting backs and forth's. I suppose that he could be yeah. That was a nice moment for them in the manga/anime. I can't reveal much about that right now. Kirishima and Deku will have their moments yeah. We'll see what happens there. Yeah, we'll see about what happens there~ Yeah, my feelings for Hawks are complex, though I do understand why it had to happen, Twice's Quirk could have ended society if he wasn't...taken out, but I wish he could have either been reformed, or would have survived, even if he just had his arms cut off, disabled or something so he couldn't use his Quirk again. I'm interested to see how some of the Villains like Himiko and Dabi react to his passing, maybe even Tomura if he is involved in the arc, also it could be a cool character arc for Hawks to deal with the ramifications of what he did to someone like Twice.
Guest 1; I could see Hikari doing that for Gentle and La Brava.
Guest 2; I know, it's really sad. He was probably in the top three for me for Villains. Kenji could have a small role there.
Guest 3; Yeah he could have a position like that. Haha, I could see Hikari doing something like that.
guest; No you've not missed anyone, though Twice is more on Himiko's side, and since she's on Kenji's side, he'll be helping out in his own way.
With those reviews out of the way, please check out the bottom of this chapter for an announcement, nothing that will affect this story, but something else explained down there, and with that out of the way, lets start the chapter!
Raid begins!
Two hours before the raid was going to begin, Kenji was beginning to get ready. Sorting through his Hero Equipment, what he should take, and if he could do anymore planning than he already had done.
But right now, he was putting the finishing touches of Mr Compress' arm. Using his Quirk to heal it, he was able to make sure that it was stable, and safe. Mr Compress didn't even speak as Kenji was examining his arm.
"It seems that...yes, I believe that while there will be some lingering damage for a while, with the right treatment from me, your arm is going to be saved. Though I'd recommend an actual surgeon than myself."
"Well we can't have that right now can we? Since we're Villains."
Kenji rolled his eyes at the sight before him.
"If that's what you say. But that's the reality of the situation. If you're okay with me, I can keep doing this."
Mr Compress simply nodded as Kenji continued.
"Can I still use my Quirk through that arm? Because it's still difficult for me to move it, so I…"
"As long as you don't move it around so much, I don't see why not. But I'd recommend at least not trying to use this arm too much until I say it will be okay, alright?"
"Good, then that's all that matters to me. But don't think that because you're doing this, I trust you at all. Because I don't trust you. I still think that you have an ulterior motive for being here, right?"
"I do have motives for being here, but that's my concerns."
"Heh, what a way to respond. So, I'll make sure that I keep my eyes on you. And if you do anything to betray the League, I'll take that arm of yours with my Quirk."
Kenji shook his head.
He knew that Mr Compress was trying a scare tactic.
But he wasn't going to give into being frightened by him.
"Alright then, you do what you need to do. I'm doing what I can for your arm, and doing my best for Tomura-kun as well. Perhaps you can't trust me, and that's fine with me. But, I'd appreciate it if you followed my advice, and also, take two of these twice a day, it will help with the pain."
Kenji pulled out a bottle of medication, Mr Compress grumbled "Thanks." before taking the bottle, and faced away.
Kenji exhaled, shaking his head as he began working on the man's arm once more.
Once he was finished, Kenji allowed Mr Compress to leave, Kenji checked the time, and knew that he'd have to go soon. But for the moment, he sat down, and took a relaxing breath in and out.
Soon, he'd be fighting Chisaki, and it was going to be a difficult battle.
He knew that it would be.
But Kenji wasn't going to give up now.
Tomura casually walked into the room, glancing around.
"Where's Compress?"
"He made an exit as soon as he was finished with his treatment."
"Hah, that sounds quite like him. But, he's making a recovery thanks to you, so I'm grateful."
Kenji lightly smiled.
"Thanks. Well, I have to be going Tomura-kun."
"Aah, so you're going for Chisaki are you?"
Tomura asked with a weird smile on his face.
Kenji chuckled lightly.
"I suppose that I am. Well, wish me luck."
"Good luck, my friend~"
Kenji refused to cringe at that moment.
Instead, he thanked Tomura, and walked away.
As the sun began to rise in the sky, Yasuo knew that the day was coming, and therefore, his Mother was only hours away of being turned into a Nomu.
Hana however, in contrast to Yasuo who was currently panicking and trying to think of ways to get out of the situation, was completely calm, as if she had accepted her fate.
"Mom, maybe it I could just get my hands free, then maybe I could..."
As he was speaking, Hana shook her head.
"Yasuo, I've got an idea about what we're going to do."
Yasuo, intrigued, raised an eyebrow.
"What Mom?"
Hana looked to be resigning to her fate, so she lowered her head.
"...When they take me away, perhaps I could cause enough of a distraction for you and Miki to get away. I don't know about those boys...Hajime and Aki. Perhaps they might even help you...but, if they don't, then you keep running and don't look for me."
Yasuo didn't want to hear this.
He didn't want anything to happen to his Mother, and hearing that she was saying things like leave her behind, and let her suffer at the hands of Yami and the others.
"B-But Mom, you're..."
Hana turned towards her son with eyes that were becoming wetter by the moment.
"As I said, you get your sister out of here. That's your priority Yasuo, Miki needs you to protect her. I know I'm asking a lot...but, I can't win here. Unless we're saved, then there's nothing that I can do. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry that I can't do anything to help out...but that's how it has to be Yasuo. Return to your Father...and also, tell him that...I'm sorry. These years, I've been...I've been thinking and lingering on that night, and I made your Father...I caused sadness to your Father by my own nature, and I should have been there for him in his time of need."
"But you were Mom, Dad loves you and he couldn't...he couldn't be without you. So stop speaking like this! Because we'll be getting out of here, I'll make sure of it! I don't know how yet, but I wont go down without a fight!"
He said it with a strong face.
He truly was a determined man, that's what his Mother thought.
She didn't want to leave her children, of course she didn't.
But, she also didn't want anything bad to happen to them when stuff was about to happen.
As they spoke, Yami suddenly came into the room, clapping her hands like a happy child that had just gotten what she wished for Christmas.
"Ooh, good morning Hana-chan, my new favourite Nomu." Hana cringed as Yasuo glared on. "We'll be beginning soon. I've heard the process is rather...mind destroying, so if you feel discomfort, sheer agonizing pain, or loss of thought, then please send your complaints to someone who cares. Maybe All Might, he seems to care about trivial stuff."
"Y-You're mental!"
Yasuo snapped, but Yami didn't even seem to deny it.
"I'm the one eyed chicken in the kingdom of the blind my dear." Yami smiled, waving happily. "Then, please say goodbye to your son Hana-chan. I'll be back in about...an hour and half to two hours depending on when my friend is ready to turn you."
Hana glared at the woman.
She wasn't going to bow down to Yami, never would she do that.
Even if she was physically unable to fight her off, she still wasn't going to break.
Yami skipped backwards as she began singing quietly.
"Well, I think you'll go out of your head~" Yami went towards the door, holding onto it as she showed a scary smile followed by a wink. "Cause I can't explain the tears anyone would shed~ Over you~" Hana's mental walls began breaking as Yami smiled scarily wonderfully. "So, my dear, ready to become a Nomu~?"
"At least let me say goodbye to Miki!"
"Say goodbye to Miki-chan? How can you do that..." Yami's smirk became more sadistic as she began shutting the door, a sneer crawling itself onto her lips. "...when she's already dead?"
Soul shattering…
Yasuo remained silent, violently ill. He couldn't even think. His eyes couldn't contain the tears. If she was being truthful...he didn't know, but he had to take her at face value until otherwise, and couldn't even do anything other than that.
Hana's eyes leaked massive tears, and she was unable to control her voice, screaming very loudly as Yami shut the door.
[YAMI! YOU MONSTER! YOU'LL GET WHAT'S COMING TO YOU FOR KILLING MY CHILD!]
Hearing the woman's screams from down the corridor, Yami's smirk grew as Daruma came strolling towards her, hearing the screaming and crying of Hana.
"Seems like someone's eager. What's wrong with her?"
"Just having some fun before she kicks the bucket."
"Seems like you found her trigger."
"Everyone can break, you just know what buttons to push. Speaking of though, maybe we should begin thinking about Miki and what her Quirk can do. Maybe we could use that to our advantage somehow."
Yami and Daruma laughed evilly together as they went to prepare for what was going to happen next.
It was a normal day for Eri when she woke up. She looked towards her ceiling, and wondered when she was going to get the knock at the door. Usually, Kenji, or someone from Kenji's lovers like Katsuki, Shoto, Momo, or someone else, would knock on her door, and come to wake her up.
But as time passed, nothing happened.
She waited for more than ten minutes, but still no one ended up coming.
So she got out of bed, and began getting dressed when there was a knock at the door.
A small smile appeared on her face, as she announced "Come in!" when she got fully dressed, believing that it was going to be Kenji…
But when she saw that it was Misaki, her face began to fall ever so slightly.
"Oh...Misaki-chan..."
"Yup, good morning Eri-chan. Sorry that I'm a little late, just had to do a few things like sort Naoto out, but I'm here now. We've got things to do today, it's time to have fun~"
"Yes...erm. Where is...Ken-chan…?"
Misaki's face stayed smiling, but she felt sweat coming down her face.
"Eeeh...h-he's had to go early to the...yeah, to Sir Nighteye I believe~"
Eri's face looked on complicatedly.
She wondered what was going on with Kenji now, if he was safe.
It was odd that he'd be gone before even seeing her.
It was something of a ritual for both of them.
"I see..."
Misaki could see that Eri was becoming down, so she bent down towards her, and offered a kind smile.
"It's alright, Eri-chan. I'm sure that he'll be back soon enough."
Eri fiddled with her hands, attempting to try and not worry about what Kenji could be doing right now.
"Y-Yes, I know you're right...but, I'm still worried about Ken-chan, I don't want anything bad to happen to Ken-chan..."
Misaki tried her best to relieve her of her worries.
But she knew that it would be rather difficult for them to achieve.
"Come on Eri-chan, cheer up~ We get to spend sometime with some cool people today~ And when Dad gets back, I'm sure that everything is going to be okay~"
Eri nodded, as Misaki stuck out her hand, which Eri took and lead her away.
Misaki knew that she was worried, but she still couldn't let Eri be worried.
She would have to do her best in this situation.
Getting ready to go out to the raid, Izuku looked down at a letter that he had received. He wasn't sure who it would be from, so he curiously opened it up. But when he did, and saw an image in it, he cried "Uuuuuuuugh! N-No, it can't be!" and tossed it down to the ground.
Kenji, who was getting changed nearby, raised an eyebrow.
"What's wrong?"
"E-Eheeee…."
Izuku didn't know how to speak.
He lost his voice.
Kirishima who also was close by moved forward.
"Seriously, what's going on?"
"I-It's her! S-She sent me a letter!"
Izuku cried out, Kenji gave him a curious look while Kirishima showed a teasing expression.
"Ooh, a woman for you huh~? Is it Uraraka-san?"
"N-No! It's not her! I-It's the other kind of her!"
Kenji didn't quite get it, but he moved towards the letter, and looked down to see that it was a picture of Yami, pointing towards Izuku who was slightly off to the side on the image while seemingly unaware that Yami was close by towards him, Yami herself also had a scary looking grin on her face.
Showing that, it seemed like she had been stalking Izuku.
Or at least enough to freak him out with this kind of picture.
"Ooh God..."
Kenji didn't know what to say other than that.
It was quite terrifying.
"S-She's been following me Ken-kun!"
Kirishima looked down at the picture, then turned towards Izuku.
"I'm sorry man, I didn't know that you had a stalker like her...what did the note say anyway?"
"T-The note...I-I don't want to read it..."
It was quite understandable that she didn't want to see it.
Kenji picked up the note, looking over it, and began reading it.
[Dear Izuku. It seems that you've become stronger recently. Did you enjoy our little date? Because it's been a long time since a young man has taken me out like that. Next time, perhaps we could slay some people together? Perhaps your Sensei's and All Might. Maybe we could take your little girlfriend Ochaco-chan with us. Also, I'd appreciate it if you stopped being stubborn, and just hand over what is rightfully my families to my adorable Grandson. Keep safe until handing it over Izuku. Love from Yami.]
Finishing off the letter was a drawing of Yami and Izuku holding hands, which Kenji thought was completely random, wondering how mental Yami truly was, and what her thoughts on doing this actually were about.
Kenji then gave the note to Izuku who read over it, paling more and more by the second.
"T-This is...t-this is...t-this is...I-I can't even think about t-this..."
"It seems that she's really got some weird thing for you Midoriya. Or, she's just crazy."
Izuku cringed.
He was frightened about what could be happening with her.
Kenji sat down beside him, placing his hand comfortably on his back.
"Don't let her get to you. It's just one of her mind games."
"B-But, she m-might really b-be into me in a psychopathic way..."
Kenji could understand his fears of that.
Yami was truly someone that would do something like this to scare someone and throw them off their game.
"She's trying to mess with you Deku-kun, don't let her win."
"Hehehe...e-even then, I don't know what to think Ken-kun, if she's there, and she..."
"If she's there, then we'll have to come together, and blast her away. She might be strong, but she's not going to be able to win." Kenji attempted to comfort his friend the best that he could. "Yami's a master in doing these sorts of things. She could unnerve the most strong willed people if she had the chance. Remember, she did it with All Might before, she's just trying to get under your skin."
"He's right man." Kirishima weighed in. "She's just saying that she's able to get to you at anytime, but she wont be able to do that. Not with us around. We'll blow that crazy woman away with all of our Quirks. Even if she has a 1000 Quirks."
Feeling the camaraderie, the support of his friends, Izuku did feel better than before.
Izuku looked down at his Hero's outfit, then towards Kenji and Kirishima, seeing their supportive looks.
"R-Right, I'll do my best!"
Hearing that, Kenji and Kirishima were content.
Soon the raid was going to begin.
They had been preparing for this.
Fighting and training.
Though they did feel their nerves coming into them.
They'd not give up or give in either.
Mirio stepped into the room, seeing the three boys speaking.
"Alright boys?"
Kenji, Izuku and Kirishima all turned to face Mirio who was smiling, but had a determined face.
"Yes, we're ready!"
Izuku announced, Mirio showed his fist.
"Right, it's going to be a difficult, but don't lose sight on what we're doing today. For those kids, for those poor children that have been hurt by these horrible people. Yami, Chisaki. They're both evil, and we're going to have to go all out against them to win. However, be very careful against these enemies. They wont hold back because we're teenagers. They might be strong, but they're not going to win against us."
Kenji, Kirishima and Izuku were understanding his strength right now.
Mirio was inspiring them to be strong, but also to not be reckless as well.
It was inspiration to hear these things from Mirio.
It just spurred them onto fight even more.
The time for the raid had begun.
Gathering outside of the Shie Hassaikai's hideout, was a number of Pro Hero's. Splitting them down the middle with strength and speed among other things, the ones that went towards the Shie Hassaikai included Kenji, Izuku, Irina, Nejire, Kirishima, Ochaco, Tsuyu, Ryukyu, Sakura, Tamaki, Daisuke, and Sir Nighteye's two Sidekicks, Bubble Girl, and Centipeder among other Pro Hero's, and police of course.
Along with them, Aizawa was also there.
It was a toss up between the two locations, but in the end, it was decided that Aizawa would go with this group, just in case any Yami clone, or her herself, showed up, while the other group had enough of a firepower to make a real dent in the enemy.
The ones that were in charge officially were Ryukyu, Aizawa, and some of the other top Pro's, unofficially, it was mostly Daisuke, Aizawa and Ryukyu since they were the oldest and strongest Pro Hero's.
All of them dressed in their Hero outfits.
Looking at the area before them, it seemed like a normal house, surrounded by a gate made of stone from all sides. It was a rather sturdy looking place. Though Kenji noticed that there were other residences around, so he hoped that nothing bad was going to happen to them either.
Daisuke stuck out his finger, and summoned a bird made of Death, allowing it to soar into the sky, giving them a birds eye view of the area.
Aizawa saw that Daisuke also had some conflicting feelings on the situation at hand.
"You're worried about Ragdol, aren't you?"
"Naturally. Though, my wife is able to handle many things...I wish that she hadn't of gone, but she was persistent, saying that she had to, nothing could stop her... Since she's pregnant...I just hope nothing happens to her. If at all possible, I'd like to go and get over there as quickly as possible..."
Daisuke finished off, as he continued doing what he needed to do.
Sakura looked to Kenji as she felt apprehension about this, she though got a comforting smile from the boy, which relieved her, and she knew that she'd be able to continue on, no matter what was going to happen next.
Kenji also saw that Izuku looked determined, so he was as well.
"If it comes down to it Deku-kun, I'll be your Eri-chan this time so we can release the full power of One For All, alright?"
He whispered, Izuku nodded with a strong resolve.
"Right...lets work together and take them down."
As he spoke, Daisuke cleared his throat, having a small bird land on his shoulder made of Death energy.
"Then lets begin. We'll be going in one fell swoop. We know our objective is the detainment of the Shie Hassaikai, we've also cut off most escape routes that we are currently aware of." Daisuke glanced at Aizawa who nodded. "But we still have Kai Chisaki who's Quirk is very unpredictable, so we'll be using a quick blitz to take him down, and if that fails, then we'll have to rely on Aizawa to erase his Quirk, and if that fails, then the people who know Chisaki the most, as in Kenji, myself, and Izuku, we'll be dealing with him. Is that clear?" They all nodded, so Daisuke with the others behind him, pushed forward with a finger. "Lets begin."
They nodded, as some of the Hero's went forward.
However, the moment one of the police officers when to ring the intercom, the wall suddenly was shattered with a heavy fist. Kenji recognized the person to be a man that could steal vitality from others with a touch.
But the first slamming forward almost hit some of the police nearby, but at the last moment, Daisuke summoned a large turtle shell before them, blocking off the heavy fist all together surprising the vitality stealing Villain.
"Damn it, it's that bastard!"
The man pulled back, attempting to get around the giant turtle shell, but Ryukyu transforms into a Dragon form, charging forward, and flapped her wings, giving her a boost of speed, as the giant attempted to punch her, but she grabbed the hand, and slammed it downwards, so he couldn't do anything.
"Go ahead! I've got this one with my agency!"
Ryukyu ordered, and they were about to do just that, when Daisuke noticed from the sky, a number of flying creatures were shooting towards them from the sky.
"T-Those flying creatures!"
Rock Lock yelled out, with Daisuke stepping forward.
"I've got this, everyone stay back."
Daisuke crafted a Dragon of Death that breathed out deadly flames upwards, just as they began exploding in the sky, creating a massive shock wave which shot the Death back down towards the known group.
"C-Crap!"
Kirishima yelled, and went to activate his Quirk when Daisuke moved his Dragon in the way, tanking all of the shock waves so the others weren't going to be harmed, as Daisuke manipulated the Dragon to swing its tail upwards, swatting the flying bombers out of the air, allowing the tail to pierce them through the chest, and detonate in the air safely away from the others.
"W-What are they exactly?"
Sakura asked Daisuke who answered as some more came down.
"These, I've seen them before. Aizawa, you might have also seen them before."
Aizawa continued after examining them for a few moments.
"Yes, a few years ago, an incident with creatures that had self destruction Quirks made themselves known, did Yami also get the ability to replicate that kind of destructive success?"
"I don't know, but if this place, or the other houses in this area are bombed, then innocents will be in danger or our allies while fighting inside of the Shie Hassaikai, and even your eyes can't keep track of all of them at once. So Aizawa, you go in with the kids, and I'll handle these bombers while assisting the police."
"Right, good luck-"
However, a new presence made itself known just as they were going to go forward. Shooting forward like a bullet, Ryukyu was blind sided until it was too late when she received damage.
"Gwaaaaaah!"
A single punch landed itself against the tough Ryukyu's skin like a blur, sending her flying backwards with a large ground. Kenji also saw that the woman had a wound on the side of her body so he went forward, and quickly began to heal her bleeding wound.
"Ryukyu-san, are you alright?"
Kenji asked, as his Quirk continued to heal her.
"Yes...thank you young man...that punch was harder than...damn it felt like I was hit by a train..."
As they spoke, a menacingly scary sound erupted forward.
The group stopped, with Irina recognizing the sound. She had grown up around the sound after all.
"I-It's a Nomu..."
Kenji muttered, with Izuku recognizing that the creatures arms were pumped up, its strength seemed to be quite good. Irina thought that it was a Quirk that enhanced physical power, to the point that Irina thought that it was similar to Muscular's Quirk at first.
But she realized that it might not be as strong as that.
"This Quirk...I believe it might either be Power, or Muscle Enhancement. With the body of a Nomu adding onto the physical power...it's probably similar to the one that was at the USJ that time...though it probably doesn't have Shock Absorption...it might have Super Regeneration..."
"I-If it's physical based, then maybe I should..."
When Izuku went to volunteer, Nejire stepped forward with Irina.
"Irina-chan, lets take down big and meanie over there, together."
"You sure?"
Nejire nodded, seeing the Nomu getting ready to charge forward.
"It will be alright if we work together Irina-chan. We can pull off an amazing victory."
Irina nodded, stepping forward as Nomu aimed his fist forward. Irina and Nejire weren't deterred, and showed that they would fight as hard as they could.
But then he saw that Daisuke announced "Aizawa, take them and go! We'll handle out here!" as he swatted away some other bombers.
Aizawa nodded, and thrust his hands forward.
"Alright, Fat Gum's Agency, Sir Nighteye's Agency, and the others lets get going."
With that, Kenji and the others apart from Ochaco, Tsuyu, Ryukyu who were dealing with the vitality stealing Quirk user named Rikiya, Irina and Nejire who were fighting the strong Nomu, and finally Daisuke who was busy taking care of the aerial Nomu that kept flying down towards them, and staying back just in case any nasty surprises happened.
Kenji overlooked Ryukyu who's wound was nearly finished, but she waved Kenji off.
"Go, I'll be fine."
"Are you sure?"
Kenji knew that at least, the wound would impair her a little bit unless he could finish off.
But she was a determined woman who wouldn't be wasting anytime now.
"Yes, go and defeat that monster Kai Chisaki."
Kenji nodded, standing tall, and began running off with the others where some police had joined Aizawa and the agencies.
However, just as he was, Rikiya turned towards Kenji, and went to slam him with a punch, when Kenji leapt backwards, avoiding the powerful fist, slamming hard down onto the ground, and caused it to shake ever so slightly.
"Though guys aren't my type, come here so I can feed off your power."
Kenji cringed, shaking his head as Rikiya came for him.
Seeing the large fist, Kenji recalled the many times he had dodged Gigantomachia's fists, so he could dodge this hulks fists with minimal movements, allowing them to slide by him without being able to touch him.
"Young man, run for the others!"
Ryukyu flipped in the air, delivering a double kick towards Rikiya, sending him away from Kenji.
"Right, thanks!"
Kenji nodding in thanks, and turned back to the others, catching up with Izuku.
"Glad you could make it."
"Yeah, some guy though just wanted to touch me, it sounded rather scary."
Izuku held back a slight smile.
But that was replaced with a frown as members of the Yakuza began coming out of the small house. Some looked normal, but some also were dangerous looking, showcasing that they had been fused together, something Sakura cringed at.
"They're like all stuck together, but not in a good way...weird, isn't it?"
"He fused them together. Chisaki's Quirk did this."
Kenji announced as he stepped onto the ground, allowing his Life and Death to flow downwards, and shoot it all around the forming enemies, allowing the earth to wrap around their forms, binding a good deal of them.
Izuku looked impressed, but then saw a fused man get close, thrusting a hand towards him.
"Then I've got this one too!"
Izuku activated his Full Cowling, allowing the green lightning to spread around him, shooting off at the enemy itself, dodging the fist, getting up close and personal, announcing "Manchester Smash!" sending his foot downwards like a swing, slamming the fused enemy so hard that he was knocked out by the time his face hit the ground, showcasing Izuku's newly found strength and ability to adapt to situations like this.
"Damn, he's become sharper in his movements, he almost reminded me of All Might for a moment. He's definitely growing stronger, and more confident. Even if Yami is plaguing his mind, he's focusing on the mission... Go Deku-kun."
Kenji looked impressed as did Aizawa.
But then some more came out, so Kirishima ran forward, hardening his skin, slamming it forward into a thugs face, breaking through a weapon they had with ease, as Sakura placed her fingers outwards towards one of the fused enemies.
"Now, it's time to fall for me and obey my commands!"
Sakura shot forward a love arrow, piercing the man in the chest, ordering "If you love me, detain your friends for me~" and since he was quite docile right now due to being what he was, turned to an ally, and slammed him hard in the chest, pinning him down to the ground.
As he did, Aizawa was able to get behind him, and put some handcuffs on the man, with the man obeying Sakura's command.
Sakura was smiling as she said "Good boy~" with Aizawa glancing at her, and thought about how dangerous her Quirk really could be if she could fully control people with her power like that.
But then they continued going forward, slipping into the hideout together, getting ready for the fight ahead.
Meanwhile, gathering outside of the place Yami was, a tall building with multiple floors, were Reaper, Hikari, Fat Gum, Sir Nighteye, Mirio, Gran Torino, Tomoko, Shoto, Katsuki, Momo, Itsuka, Camie, among other Pro Hero's that were mostly in charge of escaping the civilians that were around.
The police even had shown up and were getting ready to arrest who they could.
Hikari glanced towards the other members that had gathered, she wasn't thrilled about having Tomoko there, since she was pregnant. But she had also said that she'd do what she could, and she'd stay behind the others just in case.
Hikari then nodded at Sir who nodded.
"Right, we'll be splitting off into two teams." Sir began. "Hikari-san, you'll be going with Mirio, Yaoyorozu, Kendo, Gran Torino, and some others that I'll be listing off to rescue your sister, and the other captives in there. With her Quirk, Ragdol will be directing you to their location. Once you've secured the targets, and gotten them to safety, then Hikari-san, you'll make best judgement's about which locations your group should go next."
"Understood."
Hikari said with a strong resolve.
Sir turned to Reaper, and saw that he had a serious expression on his face.
He wasn't sure about working together with him.
But in a world where All Might wasn't there anymore, and Izuku who did have the power, didn't have the skill like All Might, and couldn't use the power for long, knew that they'd have to have the Reaper take that place, and fight against Yami, the woman that had given birth to him so long ago.
"Then...Reaper, you'll be coming with me, Shoto Todoroki, and Katsuki Bakugo. As you three have the most destructive Quirks, we'll be going straight for Yami. However, the students are going to be more supportive than taking down the actual enemy, is that understood?" Shoto and Katsuki merely nodded, knowing how serious it was. "Then Utsushimi-san, you'll also be joining that group and providing supporting, along with Fat Gum."
"Ooh, right~ Got it~"
Camie sang out as Fat Gum nodded his head, with Katsuki rolling her eyes, but kept on a strong look.
She knew that this was going to be a game changer.
She had to help save those kids...
"Then, everyone else has their orders. This battle is going to be a difficult one...and the chances of death are very high. However, we can still make a difference today. Like that monster at Kamino, if we can take this woman down, then this world will be a lot safer."
[Right!]
Sir nodded, turning to Hikari who waved her hands to the others.
"Alright everyone, lets get going. Follow me who's on my team."
They all nodded, and began running off.
Mirio glanced at Sir who gave him a confident look.
"Mirio, show them your strength and save those children."
"Right...I'll do it Sir!"
Mirio took off, running away from the group Reaper was with, and with Hikari.
As soon as he did, Reaper turned to Sir Nighteye who looked slightly uncomfortable.
"You could have chose the other group at the Shie Hassaikai."
"...I wont let that Witch rule me with fear anymore. Today, she's going to be stopped. I...I couldn't do anything during the fight with All For One, so this time...even if I have to give my life, I will fight this woman and do what I can. Also Reaper...no, Kuromaru, there are kids here. Lets make sure they get out of here."
Reaper was slightly taken aback by Sir suddenly saying his name.
It truly meant that he was rather serious right now.
"Heh, alright then. I wouldn't want kids to be hurt anyway. They know their job, rescue civilians and not directly involve themselves in combat unless absolutely necessary."
Reaper said it with a strong voice, something that Sir Nighteye was able to begin feeling stronger.
"Reaper...what about my Father? I doubt that he'd sit out on this."
Shoto asked, so Reaper informed her.
"Yes, he wasn't the type to sit out on this. So, he is making sure that this area is well protected, and keeping back the public while protecting them in case Yami makes a move there. Endeavour's pretty strong, if he uses full power, then he'd be able to fight her off."
Shoto nodded, glancing around to see that the situation was going to be difficult.
But she was focused in on the mission.
"Then, it's time to make the first move. If you would."
"Alright then."
Sir said to Reaper, so he stuck his hand into the sky, and Death began to form.
Growing larger and larger, it grew and destroyed anything that dared to go near it. Even the air itself was being killed by Reaper's Quirk.
Katsuki and Shoto sweated at the sight of it.
Seeing the intense power radiating off of it.
Maybe even most Pro's would be destroyed under that…
No, they definitely thought that if someone was hit fully with that, then they'd die in an instant.
"As soon as I launch this, we'll have to move, ready?" The kids and Sir nodded. "Right, then here we go."
Reaper threw the sphere while slightly wincing from the pain in his side. The sphere traveled rather fast, it looked to be the size of a large house, and smashed against the large building before them, instantly shaking the entire building, and began destroying it without no resistance being offered up.
Sir began to smile…
But then his frown showed itself when a number of Nomu began to fly down to the Death sphere, and pick off the power time and time again, sacrificing themselves to destroy the sphere. It seemed that they had some sort of detonation Quirk that was taken them down.
"It seems the Witch knows we're here."
"Still, seems that she's sent out the big guns for the task."
Katsuki rolled her eyes at Shoto's words.
"No, these small timers aren't her top guns, these are merely to destroy the opening attacks."
"I agree with the exploding girl. These aren't her real weapons, these are here in an attempt to slow us down and weaken us."
Fat Gum explained to Shoto who could only nod.
Reaper seeing his sphere dying off, added in.
"But, doesn't mean we didn't get her attention. Now Hikari's group can sneak in. Though Yami will also be aware that we'll be going for them, so, it's time to cause some confusion. Camie, it's your turn."
"No problem Daddy~"
Reaper shuddered while Katsuki gave him a questioning look.
"Daddy?"
"Don't ask."
Katsuki held back a smirk as she began blowing out her Quirk from her mouth. Reaper also had some of his people around, which supported Camie's Quirk, allowing it to spread far and wide, creating many illusions all around, which shot into the building at different locations, being made sure to be seen by the security cameras.
"I don't know how long I'll be able to keep up all these illusions though Daddy."
"Go back to calling me Dad. I can tolerate that one."
"Can do Dad~"
Reaper truly wished that Camie was semi normal, but it didn't seem to be the case, so he just had to go along with it for the moment.
"Going back to what you said, you don't have to keep it up for long, just a minute or two allowing Hikari and the others time to slip into the building. Afterwards, we'll continue drawing their attention as the main attacking force, while members of my group will launch continuous assaults on the outside, and heading in to create an even bigger distraction. But remember kids, you need to stay behind us adults. Yami is not a person any of you can fight alone, and even as a team...she's nearly comparable to All For One, and you all saw what he's capable of. Plus she's possibly crazier than he is, so she could be unpredictable."
They understood, with Fat Gum being mildly surprised by Reaper's words, but he was also quite happy as well to know that Reaper did care about them.
Camie continued using her Quirk, and sent a number of illusion clones through the area. Running into buildings, into walls, looking as if they have either opened the door, or blown a hole in said wall, all in all it seemed like she was doing her best.
Reaper at the same time, shot off many types of spears of Death, shooting them through different walls, crumbling down a number of walls, breaking through several different pieces of the support structure, and crushed it.
"Ooh wow, this is kind of tiring..."
"Keep going Camie, you're doing great."
As he said it, Yami's voice began to ring out.
[My oh my, my son is attacking my base? That's not nice my boy.]
The voice startled some of the Hero's present.
"Heh, if she's doing that, then she knows that she might be at a disadvantage."
Reaper revealed to the others, Sir clutched his hands…
But then placed a hand to his ear.
[Sir-chan, we're in. We're heading for the targets.]
"Understood Hikari-san, we'll begin making more noise for you to sneak around the best you can. Move quickly and be safe."
[Right, you also.]
Sir gently nodded to himself, turning to Reaper.
"Catch that?"
"I did. We should use do our best and cause some loud destruction." He turned to the students. "Stay behind us at all times, and only fight when your life is in danger, or when we say, is that understood?" They all nodded. "Great, now lets get going."
Reaper, Fat Gum, Katsuki, Shoto, Sir, and Camie went forward together, with Reaper punching a hole through one of the walls, allowing them entrance to the building, and ready for the fight ahead.
As that was happening, Kenji and the others had reached inside of the house, seeing that it mostly was a long corridor that was heading down the stairs, and at the end of that, seemed to be a door made of tough steel.
But as soon as they came in, a number of thugs came out from the shadows, one wielding a Quirk that caused the leaves outside to begin shooting in like bullets. But when they got close, they simply disintegrated into nothingness as Kenji waved his hand.
"W-What?! Is that the Death kid?!"
He snapped, pulling out a gun to shoot Kenji with, but Kenji merely waved his hand, allowing his Death to spread forward, hitting the man's upper body with a barrage of Death, smashing him through a wall, and knocked him unconscious instantly.
"Death kid huh...I'm alright with that."
Kenji replied with a strong look.
"W-Wow..."
Sakura murmured, seeing the power of her Father in action.
It surely was rather interesting to see Kenji being able to take people down like that.
But another one with a laser eye Quirk erupted forward.
"I've got him!"
Sakura announced, as the laser eye went to shoot for Izuku, Sakura forced her fingers forward, shooting off an arrow of love to stop him, but he ducked, avoiding the energy, locking onto Sakura, and shot his laser eyes for Sakura.
Sakura expertly ducks out of the way, and then lunges forward, delivering a swift hard kick to the man's upper body, and sent him flying into a wall, mimicking the look her Father had when beating an enemy.
She was quite serious from the start this time.
"Keep going!"
Rushing down the stairs, a number of thugs attempted to come out.
"Aah! Lets get them Centipeder!"
"Right, for Sir Nighteye!"
Bubble Girl and Centipeder came out, with the Centipede Hero stretching out his limbs to wrap around some of the enemies, while another one lunged forward with a knife, but she pulled backwards, thrusting her arm upwards, releasing a small bubble from her arm, which went into the enemies eye, stinging it to the point where she got him tripped up as she swept the leg.
"We'll keep this area secure Eraser, you take these kids, and go ahead!"
Bubble Girl announced Aizawa agreed and took the kids with him as they went down.
When getting to the door, Aizawa attempted to move it, but some kind of trap was set, with arrows coming from the walls, Aizawa threw up his cloth upwards, forcing them to act as a shield, as the other side was taken down by some tentacles made from Tamaki's Quirk, catching each and everyone of the arrows out of the air.
"D-Damn, that's super dangerous."
Sakura whispered, while Tamaki glanced towards her.
"Not worried, are you positive girl?"
Tamaki said with a timid look.
Sakura smiled, shaking her head.
"This is a time for seriousness now, right Senpai?"
"Right."
Aizawa turned to Kenji, who placed a hand on the ground, and used his Quirk.
"...I'm feeling signatures under the ground Sensei."
"Chisaki?"
Kenji continued to use his Quirk to feel what was going on for a few moments, searching for Chisaki.
He could feel a number of contradicting things within the facility below. It was bending and twisting.
But eventually he did feel Chisaki.
"He's away from most people, but he's also down there. But Sensei, the area down there...I can't explain it well, but it feels like it's constantly shifting."
"Constantly shifting? Like the layout is shifting or the people?"
"The layout. Walls are moving down there, people are as well. It's like they're trying to confuse my senses. But I can definitely sense Chisaki down there, he's surrounded by a number of different things...it's hard to discern since they're at a distance."
"Even then, he's still down there so this is our chance." His eyes shifted to the students. "Then, lets get going. Kirishima, Midoriya, break down the door, Sakura, Mikami, Amajiki get ready in case they've left us a surprise."
[Yes sir!]
Responding to that, Kirishima hardened his body, and Izuku allowed his Quirk to run through him to 8 percent. Thrusting their fists forward, they smashed through the metal door, their combined strength shattered the door down, revealing a long winding corridor, and nothing more.
Rock Lock was surprised that the people here were able to operate as good as they were. He wasn't sure about bringing in students. But seeing how they were moving and fighting at the same time as being serious, perhaps they'd be able to offer a good deal of support and maybe even more than that.
Aizawa took a moment to analyse the area before him, then nodded.
"Lets go."
With that, they continued going forward, knowing that this would be the best way to achieve victory.
Back with Hikari's group, she and the others managed to sneak in, and now were on the way towards the location of Hana and her kids. Using Tomoko as a way to direct them since Hikari had to stay alert at all times, she was able to lead them quickly and efficiently.
Moving swiftly through the area, Hikari stayed in front with the other Hero's following after her.
But as she moved, she suddenly detected new presences, so she called "Get back!" as no sooner as she had said it, a drill came out of the ground, revealing the drill of a Nomu's arm, and the same on the other arm.
"They've found us..."
Mirio grasped his hand while saying that.
But Hikari shook her head.
"Not yet, they're just patrolling here, Yami might not know about us being here so we should deal with this Nomu quickly."
Hikari went to move, when Momo saw the Nomu pierce right through the ground, so she spawned a cannon out of her chest, shooting off a massive cannonball towards the Nomu, landing directly in its face, sending it back away from Hikari and the others.
Hikari glanced at Momo who nodded, so Hikari did as well.
"Do it Gran Torino, Mirio-kun!"
"Yes!"
"Yes ma'am!"
Gran Torino shot forward first, using the propulsive force of his Quirk to shoot towards the right, when the Nomu swung for him with one of its drill like weapons for arms, avoiding it, and got to that wall, as Mirio leapt forward, bypassing the Nomu's drill arm easily, using his Quirk to simply phase through the attack, delivering a heavy punch on the Nomu's body while Hikari turned to Tomoko.
"Are they still in that place?"
"Yes, they're near the top of this building, but I'm picking up on many different people from here to there."
Tomoko's reply didn't sit well with the girls, but Hikari wasn't going to be deterred now, she was going to find her sister no matter what.
"Then we should go there."
"Ma'am, you go, we'll deal with this Nomu!"
Mirio declared, Hikari went to disagree, but Gran Torino nodded.
"I agree with this kid, go quickly all of you."
"...Alright, I expect you to be there within a minute or so, we'll scope out and see if it's got any Nomu's."
"Right!"
Mirio said, avoiding being pierced as Gran Torino got up above, shooting down, slamming his body hard into the Nomu, sending it down where Mirio came up with an uppercut, while Hikari found the door to the stairs blocked with some kind of electric field.
"W-What is this Sensei?"
Itsuka asked, Hikari furrowed her eyebrows.
"Maybe it's mechanical, or maybe it's an electric type of Quirk from a Nomu. Either way, we can't use the stairs, or we'll trigger where we are. From what I can see, that Nomu the boys are fighting doesn't have any kind of device on it, like a camera or a recording device. Though they could be abusing Miki's Quirk in this instance, and using it to spy on us..."
"Then what should we do Sensei?"
Momo asked, as Hikari looked at the ceiling, then towards the hole the Nomu came out of.
"We're going down."
Momo looked surprised.
"But...aren't we supposed to go up?"
"Yes, but we'll go in a slightly different direction. We know the floor below us is clear right now due to the Nomu there fighting, they'll expect us to go up, so we'll go down. But, we'll look like we've gone up, with this."
Hikari leapt upwards, and delivered a kick hard enough to pierce through the ceiling.
She then landed, and took the students down through the floor.
"Now, they'll think we've gone that way, but we can use this chance to circulate around and go in a different way...though it might lead the risk to being caught by another Nomu, with the noise being here, and the possibility of them abusing the Quirk of Miki here, we need to think tactically. Whatever plans they have, will be put on hold by my husband and their group causing chaos, but if they catch up to us and we can't rescue them..."
"I understand Sensei, we have to be as stealthy as we can. Yami can still kill us if she finds us, even with Reaper-san distracting. But what about Mirio-senpai and Gran Torino-san? Will they know to follow us?"
Itsuka wondered, she wasn't quite sure if they should leave the others behind or not.
Hikari nodded, pointing to the device on her hip.
"We've got communication devices that are like trackers, thanks to Momo-san. Since we've all got these devices, we can keep track of everyone at all times. Even our other allies."
"Wow, seems like this is quite planned out~"
Tomoko sang out, as Hikari looked forward, and backwards, judging which way would be the best way.
"We still need to go up, so we need to find a new way up. Come on everyone, lets go."
The girls nodded, following Hikari as they sneakily ran through the base of the area they were in.
At the same time, Yami was stood within the lab with Miki, Daruma (who was using his technology to force Miki to activate her Quirk), Hajime and Aki. Yami's eyes looked left and right through the screens.
"What a sight to behold, all these lovely subjects have come to become new Nomu's. Such lovely Quirks."
Daruma bowed his head ever so slightly.
"But, Lady Yami. Have you seen how many people have come? Including your son."
"I thought he'd come here, so I'll just have to step it up. Prepare to send some of the lesser Nomu's out to cause some distractions, and also prepare some of the clones I've got here."
"We've still got these two boys, some of the stronger children. We could send them out..."
Daruma suggested, Yami waved her hand.
"In a scenario we need them then perhaps. Right now though, it's time to play it by ear, lets see where they're going with this. No doubt, one of the places they'll go is to rescue that bitch Hana and her son."
"P-Please leave my Mom and brother alone!"
Miki begged with teary eyes.
Aki looked on, seeing Miki crying was heart breaking for him.
Yami placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Miki-chan, don't be such a downer. We're only going to be turning your Mom into a Nomu, it isn't that bad you know? It isn't like she'll be dead. Just, mentally speaking she will be."
"P-Please..."
Miki begged, but it fell on deaf ears.
"My dear doctor, we've also got to make sure we have a contingency plan for you my friend, to escape here just in case. If I had to guess, Kurogiri has been captured so we can't rely on him teleporting us out of here."
"Don't worry Lady Yami. I've got a Nomu perfect for us to get out of here."
"Right then I'll leave it to you. I'll go and coordinate the Nomu's. If we can take out a good number of them, then society will really shake this time."
Yami said as she pulled forward, running a hand through Miki's hair who cringed.
Hajime's eyes looked between Yami and Daruma, seeing how they were relatively calm despite the situation they were in.
He didn't know what he was going to do.
If he should go and help out the others, or stay to help out Miki.
He knew that this was wrong.
He didn't want anyone to be killed or damaged.
He had to do something.
He had to fight, no matter what.
Inside of the Shie Hassaikai's hideout, Himiko and Twice were stood in the background as Chisaki was looking through various things. He was probably seeing who he should deploy where, and what they should do when they got there.
Planning for every eventuality.
With the enemies coming, Chisaki was growing his frustrations more and more.
Himiko hid her smirk as Chisaki slammed his hand onto the table.
"Damn it, I'm not sure if she's..."
"What's wrong?"
Himiko said it while holding back her smirk.
"That's nothing to do with you. Do your job and stop the enemies."
Chisaki ordered her, so she weighed up her hands.
"Alright then, I guess that I should..."
"No, you will, or I'll use you as human shields."
Himiko stuck out her tongue.
"My, you're quite rude, aren't you? Here we are, forming an alliance and seriously being threatened..."
Chisaki turned his eyes towards her fully, angrily looking towards her.
"Do not anger me, not right now."
"Why are you worried? Didn't you get things off that deranged Yami woman?"
"Oh don't worry about that, I've got some secrets for the Hero's. I wont be taken today."
Himiko didn't say anything, and merely smiled.
Chisaki moved his eyes towards the exit, and began to move away.
As he was leaving, Himiko turned to Twice, and leaned closer.
"Twice-kun, wanna have some fun with these losers?"
"No!" Twice denied it, but then giggled cheerfully. "Of course! What should we do?"
"Well, you've seen how desperate Chisaki is looking, so come with me, and we'll begin having fun with them~"
"You got it!" Twice thrusted his head right. "Perhaps we could only cause slight nuisances."
Himiko raised an eyebrow, before taking Twice's arm.
"Great, then lets see where we can run interference's...who should we clone first..."
"But I need measurements of people!"
"I have measurements of people that you could clone." Himiko said, revealing a piece of paper. "Remember, it's time to do as Tomura-kun wanted. He doesn't want Chisaki to succeed, so lets make sure that he doesn't."
"But wouldn't we be helping out the Hero's? I hate them!" Twice growled, then twisted his body into a J shape. "Maybe some of them aren't so bad."
"The Hero's and we have the same goals right now. If we can team up in this instance, then we can fight off Chisaki, and make sure that he gets what's coming to him. Especially for the likes Mr Compress' arm, and what he tried to do to us."
"Ooh yes, that bad man did hurt our Mr Compress! Bastard is about to die!"
"Hahaha, lets go and cause some carnage then~"
Himiko smiled out, whistling as she and Twice began to move forward, seemingly unwatched due to the situation at hand.
It seemed like Himiko had some kind of plan in mind, which involved Twice.
Meanwhile, Irina and Nejire were facing down the Nomu together. He lunged for them at speeds that neither could get up to, but fortunately, Irina formed a wall around them in her wires, and when the fist struck it, the wires managed to hold, as Nejire aimed her hands outwards.
"That's good Irina-chan, lets get him!"
Nejire released her full power.
But Nomu jumped out of the way, avoiding the way, leaping around towards the right hand side, appearing with a heavy fist downwards, so Irina dared her hands upwards, shooting off her wires in the shape of a star.
"Slicing Star!"
She called, attempting to cut Nomu down.
But Nomu didn't go down so easily, his fist hit the star that was going to be cutting into him, only managing to slice into his hand before his strength rebounded on Irina, forcing her focus to be dropped enough for Nomu to break through her wires, and continue down with his strong attack.
"Irina-chan!"
Nejire pumped her energy into her feet, shooting Irina and herself out of the way, just as the ground shattered with his punch, lifting several pieces of the concrete up. Nejire hovered in the sky with Irina in her arms.
"Close one, Nejire-chan. Thanks for the assist."
Nejire nodded showcasing a kind but unsure smile.
"Yes...but, he's tough Irina-chan, we have to trap him or something before we can destroy him."
"Since he's a Nomu destroying him might be difficult. We'll have to go for the brain of the Nomu, it's a weak point Nejire-chan."
As she spoke, Nomu didn't give them anytime, ripping a lamppost out of the ground, and thrusted it towards the ladies. Nejire swerved right to avoid being hit directly, but Nomu came around with it to smash both of their bodies at the same time.
Irina stuck out her fingers, and went to cut it down…
When she saw that Nomu had already kicked the ground, sending out a piece of the ground towards them.
"Nejire-chan!"
"Got it!"
Nejire held Irina with one arm (Irina surprised by her amazing strength) and then unleashed her golden spiraling energy, destroying the rubble that had been kicked at them, as Irina's wires came down, slicing apart Nomu's weapon all together.
"This Nomu is so tough...it's speed is incredible..."
Nejire muttered, as Irina nodded.
"Yes, not exactly High End level thankfully...this one also seems to have, battle instincts to the point that he can use his mind to fight with a weapon, and give slight tactics like fighting with his feet on the ground...almost like the one from the USJ..."
The girls panted, but it wasn't over, Nomu had already jumped, forcing Irina and Nejire to fly backwards, but Nomu's body continued forward, making a grab for the women, his hand near Nejire's leg, and went to enclose around it…
But Irina leaped out of Nejire's arms, getting before Nomu, forcing him to stop his attempt to grab Nejire, and raise his arm as she spun her wires to create what seemed to be a stake of the wires, so sharp that it looked like it seemed to be able to pierce through flesh.
"Have this, Wire Stake!"
Irina thrust the stake towards Nomu's body with the full intention of piercing him to get him away from her friend.
But the moment it got near, Nomu used his enhanced reflexes to move his hand in the way, grabbing the stake which sliced into Nomu's hand. Irina saw that some blood was dripping down onto the ground…
But it wasn't enough damage to get rid of Nomu which had its body regenerating.
"...It seems that it isn't as good as Super Regeneration. That would heal instantly...she gave Chisaki a Nomu with an inferior regeneration ability..."
"But, why would she do that?"
Irina shook her head.
"I don't know. But while it's regeneration is inferior to usual Nomu's of this level, this Nomu can still do quite a bit of damage. So lets fight together."
Nomu's crazed eyes went towards Irina's own, tightening his fist, crushing her wires under his incredible strength, and then thrusted his strong fist for Irina's body, while they still where in the air.
Irina went to defend herself, but Nejire announced "Nejire Punch!" getting to the side of Nomu, and an act that seemed to mimic how Kenji had punched with his Quirk, she channeled the spiraling energy into her fist, and went making contact with Nomu's face, she unleashed her Quirk at super close range, sending the energy to smash Nomu downwards, with the ground below them cracking under the intense power that Nejire released.
Even Irina was shocked to see that Nejire was able to do that.
Seeing her mimic Kenji's movements, made her think back to how they were when they were kids.
Remembering the times when they'd pretend to be Hero's, and how they'd open up Hero's agencies together, how they'd be able to fight together. Irina also recalled the dreaded night she was taken away by All For One.
Doing things she wished she didn't do.
Wishing she could change her past, but she was sure she'd change her future...
"Come here Irina-chan!"
Snapping back into reality, Irina grabbed Nejire, the pair floating down to the ground safely. Seeing Nomu pulling himself off the floor, his eyes went towards the women.
"He just wont quit..."
"We can't give up Nejire-chan!"
"Yeah, you're right!"
Tightening his hands, Nomu's body lunged forward at incredible speeds.
Speeds the girls couldn't even fathom.
But somehow Nejire managed to react to it, by sending her energy forward at a good speed and pace, allowing it to get in close to Nomu, who folded his arms, and tanked the powerful rapid moving energy, forcing his feet to land on the ground, pushing him back ever so slightly.
Irina however allowed her wires to go forward, sinking them into the man's skin, and turned off his Quirk, using her Quirk to do so. While she wasn't like Aizawa who could do it with a look, she could do it with her wires going into the Nomu's body.
"Nejire-chan! I've disabled its regeneration, go for it!"
Nejire's waves of energy sprang even more forward, the golden energy dug into the Nomu's flesh, sending him flying away with an incredible power, smashing through the ground several times.
"Now that's what you call Plus Ultra!"
Nejire cheered, believing that they could have won.
But as she turned to Nomu, she saw that he himself hadn't been beaten. He had managed to tank her attack despite his regeneration being disabled. The durability of Nomu was insane, even without his Quirk to boost his power he still could reach those kinds of heights.
"D-Damn..."
Nejire murmured, only to be replaced with shock as Nomu got in close. Closing the distance within a second, his muscle twitched with expectations as he sent a punch towards Nejire, a punch that would almost certainly kill her…
But at the moment the fist was going to hit her, Irina's wires got in the way, forming a wall just strong enough to block the incredible fist from landing on Nejire, but the shock wave of the fist broke through the wires, and flung both women backwards, smashing them through a wall, and made them cry out at the same time.
"N-No...problem..."
Nejire saw some blood coming from her forehead, a cut having appeared there.
Irina also had a deep gash in her arm.
They had been injured by the backlash of the punch.
And they didn't even have time to think about something like a counter plan as Nomu was on top of them, his fists pushed together into a single joint fist that came down heavily onto the young women, threatening their lives…
But Irina wouldn't give up.
Neither would Nejire.
They couldn't lose to this clone.
Irina remembered how her Mom, and Dad fought during the Kamino incident, and Nejire remembered how Kenji managed to fight during the Forest Raid, how he fought until he couldn't move anymore, and Irina also recalled that about her brother, and the other Hero's that were doing their part.
"No! I refuse to die to you!"
Irina snapped, allowing all of her wires to come out of her fingers, wrapping around the arms of Nomu, slicing into the muscles, something that caused his body to pause, just enough for him to stop the assault, so he turned towards them and tried grab them, but each time he did, they'd turn intangible, ethereal, so his fingers couldn't dislodge them from his arms at all.
While he was being distracted by Irina's wires, and trying to get them off, Nejire to get in close. Using her Quirk on her feet gave her the boost of speed she needed, her powers then focused in on her arms, her hands, and readied herself to fire, putting in more of her stamina than usual to make sure she'd be able to cause a good deal of damage to this Nomu before her.
"Right! We're taught that we never give up! We will go beyond what we can! And that even means you!"
Nejire declared, with Nomu seeing that she wasn't going to hold back, despite Irina holding him back, he needed to get off one punch towards her, he'd be able to win, he knew that for sure.
Nejire saw that he was going to strike her face, but Irina pulled his arm back by force, just enough for the fist to stop in front of her face. Nejire turned to Irina, who said "Do it!" as she managed to switch off Nomu's regeneration power, so Nejire looked up towards the Nomu.
"Have this! Gring Wave!"
Nejire unleashes her power into Nomu's brain, the golden spiraling energy shot deeply into the man's body, and the force of the energy sent him flying backwards at a good distance, smashing him deeply into the ground.
They paused, looking to see if the Nomu was going to move.
But, it seemed like that attack had done it.
Nomu was beaten by the combined efforts of the girls.
As soon as he was done, Nejire and Irina fell down to their knees, panting ever so slightly.
"Seems like we did it Irina-chan."
Nejire smiled out, Irina nodding.
"Yes...while it didn't have Super Regeneration...it still was strong, it could be easily top ten Pro Hero's….and we came out on top. Nejire-chan-"
"Irina-chan..." Nejire began showcasing a small amount of sadness in her eyes. "This time...I got to protect you."
Irina's eyes began to produce a few tears.
"Nejire-chan..."
"I...I couldn't do anything back then...I couldn't do anything for Kenji-kun either...I was so depressed about my cute Irina-chan disappearing...I felt so guilty, and I wondered if I could have done more for your family..."
Irina shook her head, a small sniffle going out of her nose.
"Don't be silly, you already did enough by loving my brother, and being my best friend..."
Nejire felt blessed to have a friend like Irina, and vice versa.
"You're so kind Irina-chan. Together, lets always become the strongest okay? We'll open our agency together, and get married to our cute boyfriends together, okay?"
"S-Seriously...I'm not even thinking about marriage..."
Though Irina said that, she did picture a time like that.
If it was with Tokoyami, or with someone else, she did want to get married one day. Right now though she could imagine it being with Tokoyami more and more.
Nejire giggled, sticking out her tongue as she hugged Irina around her neck.
"Even then, one day you will marry someone who truly loves and adores you, and if they didn't, I'd have to start shooting them with my energy~"
Nejire's words caused a smile to appear on Irina's face.
"Heeeeh...yes, I'm sure that you would. When I was with All For One, I always thought of you, and my family. As long as you attained some happiness...that was enough for me. I was able to survive knowing that my family, and my Nejire-chan, had some forms of happiness. Even if it was small. Seeing you and Kenji together is...well, it's interesting, lets put it that way. But, I'm also glad that you both seem to really care for one another."
"Ooh I love him~"
Irina smiled at her friend as she stood up.
"Then, lets go and show these Villain the power that we have. We've still got work to do."
"Hehehe...yes, lets get to it Irina-chan, lets show these idiots not to mess with us!"
Irina helped Nejire up, looking back to the Chisaki hideout, and readied themselves to fight once more.
They had come far, and they had managed to work together to fight. Though it wasn't over yet...they still weren't going to back down until they achieved victory.
End chapter!
So to begin, just wanted to say that I've got a new poll on my profile but it wont affect this story, so if you're interested, please check that out and give a vote.
Now onto this chapter, we got the start of the raid, with Hana and Yasuo being tormented by Yami, who seems to be enjoying it quite a bit. They also split off into two teams. One with the Chisaki hideout raid, and the other with the Yami raid.
At the same time, Reaper and his group began the charge. Hikari's group sneaking in, and beginning their own fight with Mirio and Gran Torino taking down a Nomu, while Reaper's group caused mass destruction to cause a distraction for them.
The end of this chapter focused on Nejire and Irina's fight with a Nomu that Yami had provided to Chisaki, though noted that it seemed Yami hadn't given her best Nomu to Chisaki, or at least one wasn't the best that she had given but it still was something that could almost contend with the USJ Nomu. The girls showcased their strengths, their teamwork, and resolve. Along with showcasing their emotions as true friends to the other.
We'll be seeing some cool fights about to come up this arc so look forward to them!
Well, until next chapter, thanks for reading!
