Friendly Foreign Dimensional Exchange Student Spider-Man!: Academia
The Hosu Massacre
Shoto follows his father, Burnin, and a couple of his father's sidekicks. They see traffic and terrified civilians running away from the chaos, some bleeding or limping away.
"Get ready all of you! We don't know what the level of opposition is!"
"Yes boss!" answers the group, except the dual-haired boy remaining silent.
"And Shoto! I'll show you what it means to be a hero, especially in an emergency level like this!"
"Ay boss?!" calls out Burnin. "Since this warning's not for Stain, could it be a terrorist attack? The L.o.V.?"
"Unclear, reports still say an unknown group of powerful quirk users are attacking people indiscriminately!"
Shoto notices a young and very bruised hero holding a gash on his belly's left side, being helped by his injured partner; both look deeply shaken. Then the wounded man pukes across the ground.
While the Endeavor group moves past the two heroes, the teenager couldn't help but look back at what he just saw. What the hell is going on over there?
The sounds of destruction, screaming civilians, and monstrous voices are getting louder and more horrifying to hear. It is coming from a right intersection, which their leader points towards. "Over there!"
They all increase their speed, finally arriving in the middle of the district. What the Endeavor Agency members see is horrendous. The center of Hosu is a disaster zone. Most of the buildings, roads, vehicles, and plant-life are either destroyed or burnt. But worst of all, there's lifeless bodies of varied ages on the ground, the streets having pools of their own blood, some of it smeared or splatted across parts of the road. The whole area has become a massacre…
Shoto feels bile rise before he stamps it down. The nomu monsters are ahead of him, fifteen of them. Most of their hands or clothing are stained with the red liquid. There are still people hiding or too injured to move while eight common ones close by are searching for more targets to kill. Endeavor is the first to get out of his shock, his reaction turning to deep fury.
"Everyone! Move it, double time!" Angrily screams the Flame Hero as he also gets the others out of their daze. "Burnin, Kid, Shoto, and the rest are with me to burn these bastards down! Omina! Have you and a few others rescue the civilians still here, when you're done join us immediately!"
"Yes, sir!"
Endeavor and Burnin release a massive blow of fire or a barrage of golden fireballs at the nomus, distracting and pushing them away from hurting the remaining frightened or injured civilians. As they now force the monsters to fight them, Omina commands the sidekicks left behind to retrieve the citizens and move them away from the carnage.
The offensive group deals with the nomus attacking them. Shoto assists by first using his ice powers, targeting one that's heading for him but the monster becomes trapped with its entire body frozen in place. Another tries attacking him from the side, but the dual haired boy releases a barrage of sharp icicles that pushes his foe towards a building wall impaling the creature to death. Burnin grabs more dislodged flames from her hair and throws them, successfully hitting her targets, giving an advantage for the other sidekicks to attack. Endeavor grabs hold of two that jump at him and, with his Hellflame, covers both with a super-heated blaze turning them into charred bodies. Another tries to hit his head with a piece of debris, although its monstrous cry is heard by Endeavor. So he turns around, delivering a full-on fiery punch to the torso.
Then he looks around; he notices other heroes fighting against more of these enemies from the opposite side. Others are helping civilians still trapped out there to escape. Before he could issue another command, Burnin cries out as she gets caught by the sudden appearance of the Winged nomu, placing their talons on both her arms and flies away.
"Crap, Burnin!" Cries out Kido, still dealing with one of them.
Enji, remaining calm, follows the flying one and looks back towards his youngest son. "Shoto, go help the heroes from the other side, keep an eye for more of those things!"
The pro hero begins the rescue, taking him a while to catch them up due to the nomu's flying speed. As he gets closer, he can hear the captured woman from above. "Damn you ugly fuck, let go of me!" She tries to have her flame hair touch its legs, but they are too far apart to reach.
As it flies higher with Burnin, Endeavor tries throwing a large fireball at the monster, but it quickly dodges, he tries another one, but it gets away again, turning to the left of an intersection. "A quick one? No problem!"
The Flame Hero runs straight towards a building and climbs up on the vertical wall, each time creating a burnt footprint on the concrete. The pro hero does one final and higher jump reaching very close to the nomu. As the flying monster looks behind, Enji creates a fire-like lance and throws it landing a perfect shot at the creature's left eye. The Winged cries in pain, causing to release its hold of Burnin. Endeavor successfully catches her and slowly lands them both down safely by expelling fire jets through the soles of his feet. He lets the golden fire-haired lady get her footing back on the ground; she's clearly annoyed at what just happened. "THAT was embarrassing!"
The pro hero says nothing and instead continues his pursuit of the flying nomu as he prepares his arm for one of his moves. "Flashfire Fist, Jet Burn!"
He shoots a large blast at the target; the flame is so fast and hot that it pierces and incinerates half of its back. It shrieks again from the terrible pain, losing its ability to fly and plummeting down hard to the ground. Endeavor goes to the now downed nomu, who's agonizing but still trying to fly again. He ends the creature's painful misery by blowing another large burst of flames onto its whole body. Another shriek of agony until going from loud, quiet, and then silently dead with third-degree burns all over its skin, including burning parts of the road around it.
"Just what the hell's up with them?" Burnin asks, coming close to her boss and stares at the dead enemy. "Are those nomus even men or frickin' beasts?"
Endeavor looks behind the two, ignoring the question. "There's still more to deal with…"
"Yeah, thanks by the way…"
(X)
Listening to his father's command, Shoto heads to the other side where a couple of other pro heroes are dealing with the four commons, 4-Eyes, and Eyeless. The area is covered with dented abandoned cars and public buses.
"Danm it, what are these things?!"
"They're way too powerful!"
Two men, one dual horned and a red-metal masked are brawling with the huge dark one, trying to keep it stuck by pushing one of the cars at it. A woman deals with the four-eyed where she kicks the nomu far, crashing into a large window frame, and the rest are against the common ones.
After Eyeless pushes the car away with its two opponents, Shoto sees an opening and quickly releases his ice. It surges towards the dark-muscular creature, completely covering and trapping it. The surprised heroes in the area look to where this attack came from, seeing the duel-haired boy.
They immediately take this opportunity to strike. But the dark nomu breaks free from the iced prison, which shocks everyone, but the attacking heroes don't stop expecting a chance for a hit. Shoto then notices close to the large one, the now upside-down car is leaking a lot of fuel. Seeing the monster has his hands placed together and above their head, he horrifyingly realized what will happen. Which a hero with a helmet featuring a fish-like fin also finds out. "Wait, get back!"
It was too late. Eyeless lands his hands on the paved road, causing a blast of debris all around it. The car getting caught creates sparks igniting the fuel, causing an explosion forcing everybody, including the weaker nomus, to be pushed away.
Moments later, some of the heroes try to get up. The street has now succumbed to fires caused by the ignited fuel. The horned hero takes the initiative and finds a fire hydrant; he rips the metal cone off, releasing the pressured water. "Manual stop the fire!"
"Yeah, got it."
The pro hero with the fish-like fin helmet now called Manual gets up and uses his Quirk to control the flowing water spreading it towards the flames. As he turns to the right, he notices something is hiding from the fire and targets the heroine. "Look out behind you!"
Unable to react, 4-Eyes appears and lunges at her. But Manual pulls the water directly towards the nomu, pushing it away. But his need to respond fast causes the pressured water to go up, making the four-eyed nomu flying far from their location.
"Shit!" Manual realizes what he had just done. "We can't have him roam free."
"I'll go and find him!" Responds the dual-horned man as he separates from the group.
After Shoto gets up, he decides to search the nomu too, going in a different direction if the pro hero doesn't find it.
"Seriously Tenya? Where the hell are you?!"
The dual-haired boy stops as he overhears Manual calling out a name he's familiar with while the pro hero continues spreading water towards the fires. Shoto remembers that his classmate is also here being interned in Hosu with the man in question. He wonders why Tenya is not helping Manual with this situation. But for now, he needs to ignore this and concentrate on finding that four-eyed creature.
But he halts again when he feels his foot is pressed on to something soft. He looks down and sees a dead police officer lying on the ground, his eyes open and blood that was oozing out from his mouth. He jerks away, staring at the officer and his crushed neck, noticing the broken bones in his twisted body through the clothes.
He feels sick, and it's all he can do to focus on his task and finding the nomu, shoving away the emotions that threaten to overwhelm him. Then, a loud noise pierces into his ears. Shoto looks back to see a public bus falling on its side and crushing a burning car. He immediately jumps as far ways as possible, closing his ears. The collision causes the bus's gasoline to ignite and explode, making the fire around the street even more ferocious. Hearing some mighty footsteps, the teen boy sees in shock behind the long-burning vehicle is the dark nomu still standing unscathed.
"What the hell?! How's that big monster still alive!" Shouts the female hero seeing the huge enemy and the boy behind the flames.
"Crap, the kid's alone!" Manual looks in horror as he's still controlling the spewing water. "Hold on, we're coming- !" He is then cut off when a common nomu attacks him by placing both hands on his neck, pushing him to the ground.
"Manual!"
The other common ones renew their attacks against them, making Shoto the only one to face Eyeless.
Eyeless launches towards Shoto, he summons a massive fire blow that hits directly towards the creature. It moves around erratically to get rid of the flames. At the same time, the dual-haired moves behind the beast. After removing the fire, it looks around for its opponent. This helps Shoto to confirm that the creature is blind since it has no eyes. He throws a massive blow of fire again, but the nomu finds out and dodges it. Sensing a vehicle with their hands, Eyeless lifts it up and throws it at Shoto. The teen boy evades the large object, but Eyeless immediately moves forward to attack. Shoto quickly creates a wall of ice that, while unable to block the fist, it was still enough to lower the amount of speed and power that punch had, which lands directly at the center of his chest.
Shoto rolls around, anguishing at the pain from the attack. Before Eyeless could hit him again, he quickly releases a giant icicle towards the creature, which impales its right arm and continues piercing forward until ripping it off completely. The nomu reacts in anguish, but then it growls aloud, and the arm regenerates its lost limb. Eyeless moves again for another punch, but Shoto evades it once more, making the dark monster land at a restaurant breaking through the large windows. He counterattacks it with an ice surge towards the dining area, but the nomu punches it away and continues its attack against the lonely fighter.
The dual-haired intern tries to encase the creature in ice, this time with a more considerable amount than before. But as Shoto is catching his breath, the nomu again but slowly forces their way out, releasing several ice bits away. The boy uses his arms and closes his eyes to block the pieces from hitting his face.
He opens them up to see Eyeless grab with both hands a street light, pulling it off from its connection to the ground and using it like a baseball bat swinging towards Shoto. The dual-haired gets down from the swing, but the nomu tries again, lowering the metal pole, he creates another ice wall to block the swing. Then he holds onto the street light making the metal turn ice cold, including Eyeless's hand, forcing it to let it go. Trying a different but risky approach, Shoto runs a little far from his opponent. He then saunters, stops, and quiets his breathing, staying very still. The nomu slowly moves forward, looking for him, not realizing that it walks right past the teen boy.
Shoto has a bit of time to think of a plan. Since it will be complicated to take down a monster with regeneration abilities, he needs to use a more powerful attack.
With the dark one now directly in front of him, Shoto quickly creates a tremendous amount of ice walls to surround them, making enough to chill the air. Eyeless, now able to sense where Shoto is, runs towards him. But since Shoto is at enough distance, he has the time to switch to his fire, rapidly melting the ice, eventually heating the air and expanding it. As Eyeless jumps with their punch, Shoto lunges forward with his fire hand, aiming close to the nomu's chest.
"Flashfreeze Heatwave!"
Releasing a super-heated blast, it spreads around the street. Smashing windows, pushing any loose object up in the air, bending streetlights, and ripping street signs close to the shock wave. Shoto, now panting and full of sweat desperately tries to find Eyeless while the dust and steam subside. Eventually, he sees the dark nomu has landed on a building wall, unconscious with limbs either dislocated or missing. Being cautious, Shoto covers the whole enemy with ice. He completely engulfs his other hand with fire and moves towards the downed creature as he still pants.
Suddenly, Eyeless regains consciousness and struggles to break free from the ice cage even without it's functioning limbs. Shoto postulates that covering the monster with his power must have awakened it. Shocked and ashamed of his supposed mistake, he tries to run to stop the nomu once and for all. But the young intern is too exhausted to reach him as the nomu's limbs slowly recover, and the ice cracking bit by bit from the creatures' endless strength. Just as Eyeless is about to break free and Shoto close to placing his flaming hand on its head, a much larger one is suddenly placed on it.
The teen boy looks up and sees his father has returned. Endeavor burns away Eyeless with blue fire, incinerating the nomu's head until its body no longer moves.
"Stand down Shoto, you've done enough…" Letting go showing a now large headless corpse, he looks behind him. "Are there any more of those weird enemies, Burnin?"
"It appears there's no more of them, with all surviving civilians rescued it's just us heroes."
"Good, but we can't take any chances. Keep an eye on those nomus, no matter how damaged they are!"
The dual-haired boy looks to where Endeavor sees and finds that the district's entire ordeal is finally over. The whole area is the same as what the group saw when they first arrived at the massacre. But this time, the fires have finally subsided, and all the nomus are dead. The pro heroes and sidekicks are exhausted, with a few having suffered gruesome injuries from the fight. Manual is massaging his neck and checking his breathing after escaping from his strangling ordeal.
But Shoto cannot finally relax… still seeing all those dead bodies… He can't believe that this senseless attack had just happened and resulted in all those deaths, done by creatures similar to the one that attacked him, his classmates, and the teachers in the U.S.J. He looks back at the headless Eyeless. It enraged Shoto… they did all this with no remorse… no humanity!
He starts sending his fire onto the dead nomu in a screaming, furious rage. Endeavor notices with a raised eyebrow. "Shoto, what are you doing?!"
The boy ignores him, continuing to push flames at the nomu until the pro hero places his hands on his son's shoulders and starts shaking him. "Shoto! Stop, that's enough! It's over!"
This time hearing the shout from his father gets the dual-haired teen out of his haze and breathes heavily. After the flame hero lets him go, Shoto walks away from the large corpse and his father. He sits down on the ground and keeps his head down.
Frankly, for Endeavor, after what he has seen and experienced, his mind felt the same way as Shoto. If only he knew in advance what was happening in Hosu, he might not have brought his son with him. But right now, Enji is unsure of how to approach him.
"This is Yoroi Musha," Then his communicator lights up, hearing the voice of the old pro hero samurai calling on an open channel.
"All Heroes, be advised, the Hero Killer is within Hosu fleeing via rooftop, about a thousand meters away from downtown."
"Where!? Where is he Musha?!" He demands, immediately ignoring the entire situation that's happened, now returning to his original plan he wanted to do here in the first place.
"He's advancing towards the residential area of Hosu to the west, near the Taikodaina Ward. Be advised, suspect is injured, bruised ribs most likely. Relocated arm, broken nose. Is the Noumu situation handled?"
"We're wrapping them up now, troublesome bastards those monsters are! Acknowledged!" Endeavor responds. He fires up his powers and begins jumping onto and over buildings like a red-hot meteor, leaving his whole group behind.
Burnin, seeing that her boss has left in a hurry, immediately takes control of the group. "Okay listen up everyone! We'll leave Endeavor to deal with the Hero Killer, we'll stay here and keep on alert until authorities and medical aid arrives. Understand?!"
"Yes ma'am!"
She then looks towards Endeavor's son, who's is still on the ground, motionless. She goes close to him and kneels down; the golden-fire hair lady softly pats his back, trying to look at him in the eye.
"Hey Shoto… you okay?"
The dual-haired looks at her, his face lacking emotion. He just looks back down to the floor.
"Sorry… can't talk right now…"
