Chapter 21: The Arrival

(No one's pov)

When the train arrived at the Hosu station it was around midnight and the group was tired from the train ride, specifically Izuku who spent most of the trip trying to keep everyone from killing eachother and she was about to snap at everyone, specifically Himiko and Twice who were at eachothers throats all the time. When Izuku got off that train she felt a wave of relief coming over her, she thought maybe not being stuck in that train car will help ease everyone's tension but she was going to find out that it wasn't that simple.

(Izuku pov)

Oh thank God were off that train. One more minute of sitting their trying to defuse another argument or situation and I would have lost it and might have killed them all, why can't they just be nice?

Mr. Compress is being a total gentleman about this and Moonfish is being the nicest he can be, he even talked to Magne for a little bit before Dabi tried to pick a fight with her and I had to break it up. Moonfish has been really sweet but he has been acting strange since I gave him a tracksuit to replace his normal straight jacket outfit, he didn't want me to see his face so i also got him a ski mask, so he kind of looks like a Russian gangster.

"Alright this is the plan everyone so listen up. We're are all going to find a place to rest so does anyone got any suggestions where to stay tgat is preferable cheap?"

Everyone but Twice raised his hand, "I have a friend who lives near here he owns a bar and probably has some room for us that we can stay in for free." A bar didn't sound like the best place to stay but once you add free to the equation its a chance worth taking, "Alright were going to Twice's is friend's bar, anyone have a problem?" I asked and of course Himiko was the one to respond negatively towards Twice, "How do we know you're not leading us into a trap?"

Izuku sighed as the arguing between everyone began once again, it was times like these she wondered to herself how much more she could take, "This is gonna be a long couple of days."

(Meanwhile)

Across the street from the train station was many small office buildings, but one in particular had two people on the roof, a man and a women dressed in all black stealth gear and they were watching Izuku closely through their binoculars. "Is that her?" The woman asked, "Yeah that's her and her band of misfits, but three of them are new." He examined Compress, Twice and Magne but couldn't recognize them, "We better inform Ingenium about this." He reached over and pulled out his phone from a backpack and started dialing the number, "Holy shit what is that?"

"What is what?" He stopped dialing and looked at his partner who couldn't take her eyes off of what she was looking at, "It's so creepy I think I can see it's brain."

Confused, he grabbed his pair of binoculars and looked out at the group, "What I don't see nothing." He was a little annoyed, "He's up there, behind the neon sign above that tattoo parlor." He followed her instructions and once he saw it he nearly jumped to his feet, "what the fuck is that? it looks like, like, well I don't know what it looks like but it certainly isn't human." They just kept staring at it as it slowly followed the group traveling from roof to roof, eventually the woman looked over at her partner and nudged him a little to get his attention, "Make the call now, we need more heroes here."

She returned to looking at the creature, the man reached over to grab his phone but it was gone, "Have you seen where I put my phone?" He looked back at her to see her head was gone and blood was squirting out, before he could scream a blade stabbed right through his skull, the killer pulled out the blade and picked up the binocular's, he looked out at into the distance and watched the creature follow Izuku's group, "Interesting, this should be fun."

(Moonfish pov)

Something wasn't right I can feel it like I'm being watched, I stopped walking and looked up all around me while the others kept moving and they would have left me if Izuku didn't stop and ask me, "Is something wrong Moonfish?" Everyone stopped and looked at me curious to see what I was doing, I wasn't sure if what I was feeling was right but if there is someone following us than we should be ready for a fight rather than surprised.

"I think someone is following us." After I said that, there was a silence. We all stood there waiting for something, some sign that we weren't the only ones prowling in night, that a being was out here with us. Suddenly from the dark alley way we could all hear the sound of footsteps coming our way, getting louder the closer they get, I could hear everyone in the group's heart beat speed up as the footsteps had almost reached us my god it was driving me crazy with hunger. Just as the footstep sounded like they were just about in front of us, they stopped.

We all looked into the dark abyss but we couldn't see anything but we could hear heavy breathing, but it wasn't human it sounded more like some sort of animal, then it finally came out. It was a bluish grey creature almost 7 feet tall and horribly disfigured, it's brain was literally exposed for everyone to see, it's arms were extremely muscular and its mouth was filled with teeth that look like rows of a razor blades, no, they were razor blades, what the fuck.

It looked around at all of us before finally settling his grotesque white pale eyes on Mr. Compress, "You brought the girl I see."

It Spoke, "But it seems you also brought me lots of snacks, how nice."
