Okay. We're gonna get back on track here. I really did need to tell that part of the story. It'll be important later. Mael and I have much more that we need to do. You'll see.
And so does Mina. So let's continue on shall we?

"Tomorrow is the first day of our partnership with Overhaul."
Izuka sat in the main room of the hideout. It was night time, the room was dim. Izuka sat with Toga by her side, and Durza on her lap. She was dressed in black jeans, a grey shirt, and a leather jacket.
"Everybody should get some rest. I also want to take Durza hunting tonight."
"You want to go alone?" Toga asked.
"You need rest for tomorrow babe. We'll be fine." Izuka smiled.
"Alright… if you say so…"
"Okay. So tomorrow, Toga and Twice will be escorted to Overhaul's base with me and Shigaraki. We will talk for a while. Discuss plans and all that. Durza, are you okay with staying with aunt Rumi?"
Durza looked at Mirko, who smiled sweetly. They nodded. "Auntie Bun-bun!"
Mirko blushed. 'Too cute!'
"Alright. With that all said, Durza and I will go to Kamino now. You all get ready for tomorrow. We'll be back after we paint a new alleyway red."
Izuka stood up and let Durza climb onto her back. "Let's go."
"Okay!"
The two waved and headed out of the building. Toga smiled, before yawning and going to bed.

Jiro stood facing Aizawa. The start of training would be devoted to hand to hand combat, as well as how to use a capture scarf.
Right now, they were on their one hundred and twentieth sparring match. Jiro had been improving quickly. Aizawa beat her at everything. But she had gone from lasting ten seconds against him, to lasting ten minutes. It was a small victory for her.
"Okay. Jiro. You haven't been using your quirk this entire time. You're starting to get the hang of fighting like this." Aizawa said. "After this match, we'll move on to the capture scarf."
"Right." Jiro nodded. Aizawa darted forward.
Jiro dodged an attack aimed for her shoulder. The girl retaliated with an attack of her own, aimed at Aizawa's side. Aizawa grabbed her fist with one hand, and her upper arm with another. He turned around in an attempt to judo throw her into the floor, but Jiro landed on her feet.
"Good." Aizawa smirked.
Jiro smirked back and pulled her arm free. She quickly threw a punch and leapt back as Aizawa countered.
"Are you just going to flit about with my moves? Try some of your own!" Aizawa called.
"If you insist." Jiro dashed forwards, her hands held out behind her. 'Think like Bakugo…'
Jiro blasted forward as she activated her quirk. Shockwaves propelled her even faster. Aizawa dove out of the way just in time. "GOOD!"
Jiro turned and darted towards Aizawa, this time regularly. Aizawa brought his hands up. Jiro leapt up and came down with an axe kick, but it was a bluff.
As Aizawa went to deflect the kick, Jiro flipped over and activated her quirk. Shockwaves hit Aizawa and stunned him. Jiro was propelled into the air.
"WOAH!"
"Hang on!" Aizawa shook the feeling he got from Jiro's attack away and dashed towards her. He caught the student right before she would have hit the ground.
"Got you."
"That was… cool."
"You'll need to practice it. You might eventually be able to achieve flight. But for now, let's focus on the capture scarf." Aizawa said, setting Jiro down.
"Alright." Jiro nodded. Aizawa handed her a capture scarf.
"You've seen me use one. It's tough to learn, but everybody can make their own style."
Jiro studied the capture scarf. She looked over every inch of its material. She marveled at its light weight. Jiro put the scarf around her neck loosely, before facing Aizawa.
"Shall we get started then?"

Durza giggled as Izuka dashed over the water's surface.
"You're so fast!"
Izuka grinned. "Yeah? Are you good so far?"
"Of course mommy!"
"Alright then. HOLD ON!"
Durza laughed as Izuka doubled her speed. The two reached the mainland in seconds.
"Aw… it's over…" Durza pouted, as Izuka shook herself off.
"We'll run back after we're done." Izuka said. "You have a facemask?"
"Do I need one if I'm killing everybody who sees me?"
"With me you do. Don't worry, I brought a spare." Izuka brought out two face masks and gave one to Durza. Both donned the masks. Izuka turned and came face to face with someone wearing a hoodie and mask, their eyes regarded her with joy.
"Izuka…"
"Who are you?"
The person didn't respond. Izuka looked closer and saw that their skin was pink. "Mina?"
Mina blinked. She couldn't hear, and she really wasn't good at reading lips. Nevertheless, she knew that Izuka had said her name.
"It's me… I know a bit more sign now. You can talk to me that way."
Izuka nodded. -What are you doing here?-
"Uh… I went back to school yesterday, but everybody was really rude. They didn't believe in me… and then they nitpicked my fight where I beat Mirio, and gave snooty comments. I went with Midnight to the mall… A group of civilians attempted to assault us. I ended up blinding eight of them permanently. Because of that, I was expelled and put in juvenile detention. I broke out alongside a strange person… They told me I would find you here."
Izuka listened intently. Rage boiled inside her as she heard about UA and the mall. -You can join us then… there's nothing to go back to. You have two options, hunt with us, or warp back to base.-
"Can I come with you?"
Izuka nodded. -Sure. By the way, meet my adoptive child, Durza.-
Mina looked down at the demon child. Her eyes sparkled. "You have a kid! Ohmygod!"
-You coming or not?-
"Right. I'm coming."
The three made their way into Kamino.

Todoroki and Kirishima stood side by side. Both had been scouted by Tamaki, who asked them to join Fatgums agency. After they met with the hero, they were accepted as sidekicks. Tonight was their first night on the job.
"So… you know what we'll be doing?" Kirishima wondered.
"Fatgum is pretty well known for bringing down drug dealers. Maybe we'll patrol and find something tonight." Shoto shrugged.
"That would be cool. Let's head in!"
Todoroki and Kirishima walked through the doors and into the agency. Tamaki was there waiting. The nervous boy guided them to an office where a large man in a yellow suit sat.
"Hey guys!"
"Hello sir!" Kirishima and Todoroki Bowed.
Fatgum chuckled. "Drop the 'sir' just call me Fatgum."
"Right… sorry."
"No problem!" Fatgum said. "You two ready? We're going on patrol tonight!"
Todoroki and Kirishima blinked. "Really? I mean… We thought about patrols… but so soon?"
"Yeah! You two are working with the agency! We go on patrols day and night! You won't get the experience you need just sitting around here."
"Oh… that makes sense…" Todoroki said.
"So! Get your costumes on! And let's get patrollin'!"
"RIGHT!"
)=(
Ochaco and Tsuyu walked together through the streets of Kamino. They were on the south side of the city, patrolling with Nejire and Ryukyu.
"So… what do you think we'll run into?" Ochaco wondered.
"Don't know *Kero*" Asui responded. Suddenly, a beeping came from their costumes. Ochaco pressed the side of her helmet. Tsuyu pulled a headset microphone down from her sailors cap.
"Uravity and Froppy here."
"Hey! We need your guys' help!" Ryukyu's voice came over the call. "We have a fight between two giant quirks! We don't have enough hands!"
"On our way."
"Hurry! We need all the- what? HOLY SHIT!"
"Ryukyu? Ryukyu!" Ochaco shouted.
"We need to go *Kero*"
The two took off into the night.
)=(
Izuka took a deep breath. "Ah. Nothing quite like the air here…"
A boom echoed down the street. Two giant quirk users were battling it out in a spectacular show. Mina turned to look as she felt the wind shift.
"Huh. That's kinda cool actually."
"C'mon. Maybe they can be your first kills as a league member." Izuka said to Durza. The child grinned. Both took off towards the fight. Mina followed closely, her hood pulled up and her mask donned.
The trio kept hidden on the rooftops. They observed the battle taking place. Two gigantified people were fighting. Probably some disagreement that got way out of hand. A girl with Periwinkle hair flitted around, shooting blasts of energy to hold them back. A small dragon zipped around on the street, saving civilians.
"Alright sweety. In a minute, the blue girl's power will give out… that's when you jump up and rip into one of the giants."
"I won't be able to jump that far…"
"Drink this." Izuka pulled out a vial of blood from nowhere. "I keep extras for your mom."
Durza nodded and downed the vial. Their form rippled. Durza grinned, their teeth stained red. "Thanks mommy…"
Just like Izuka predicted. Nejire's power began waning, and she was forced to land. She began assisting in the rescue effort as the dragon began shouting into a headset.
"Go now. Show 'em what you can do."
Durza nodded and leapt off of the top of the building. Their jump created a gust of wind that blew Izuka and Mina back.
The dragon looked up to see Durza hurtling towards the first giant. "HOLY SHIT!" Ryukyu attempted to leap upwards towards Durza, but was knocked away by a giant.
Durza giggled as they landed on the shoulder of the first giant.
"Get off of my shoulder little fly."
Durza punched down on the giants shoulder, breaking it. "Buzz BUZZ!"
"GAH!"
Durza slashed the giant with his clawed hands and drew blood. "You are a giant… I won't be able to cut that deep with just my claws… But there are easier ways to kill a behemoth."
"Kill? What are you-"
The giant didn't have the time to react as Durza stabbed his hand into a specific point in his neck, severing an Artery.
The giant howled in pain. Durza drank from the pool of blood welling up. Their form rippled yet again. This time, they ingested enough blood to make their muscles push up against their clothes. Drza tore off their shirt, revealing a toned upper body. A black tail sprouted from just above their waistline. Durza's horns seemed bigger. A red aura surrounded them.
"More than one way to kill…" Durza giggled. The demon child dashed down to the front of the giant's neck. With a roar, they punched the giant right in the Adam's apple, making the giant gag. The other giant spotted Durza.
"This is between him and me!"
The giant threw a punch. Durza dodged, and the punch broke the other giant's jaw. Durza chittered with glee as the giant began weakening from lack of blood flow to his brain. The demon was now covered in the giant's blood. As the other giant threw another punch, he leapt onto them. The punch struck across the dying giants cheek. The force broke their neck, and they died instantly.
Durza bolted up the remaining giant's arm.
"G-get off!"
Durza leapt up at the giants face, but was forced to dodge as a boulder flew out of nowhere. Durza looked down to see Uraraka and Tsuyu throwing massive boulders up at them.
Izuka called to him. "COME BACK! NICE JOB!"
Durza nodded. But as he leapt towards Izuka, Ryukyu intercepted them. "Hello there little one.
Durza growled. "Let me go."
"I can't do that. You just killed someone." Ryukyu chuckled.
"If you don't let me go, you're next." Durza said. "Mommy will kill you."
"Mommy? Who is-"
Ryuku was interrupted as a black shadow darted past. Durza was gone. Ryukyu looked up at a rooftop to see a woman with long green hair standing with the boy.
"Who?"
"RUN RYUKYU!" Ochaco screamed.
Ryukyu didn't know what it was, but there was something in Ochaco's voice that made her fear for her own life. It was clear that the woman standing with the child was not to be trifled with.
"ROGUE! YOU TAKE THE LAST ONE!"
"Rogue? There's no hero by that-"
A figure appeared on another rooftop. They extended their hands, creating a ball of some sort. With a shout, the person hurled the orb. It splattered across the giant's face. The giant screamed as high potency acid ate through them.
"What the hell?"
Izuka smiled at Ryuku's confusion. "WE HAD FUN TODAY HEROES! HOPE TO SEE MORE OF YOU IN THE FUTURE!"
The three villains darted away. Ryukyu watched them go with rage. 'Who were those villains?'
)=(
"Today's news! Last, a mysterious force shook Japan. We have now connected that to the Midas Juvenile Detention Center."
Kayama stopped pouring tea. Her eyes glued to the television set. 'That's where Mina went.'
"The Building was used as a prison to hold one of the most dangerous vigilante's in history, Mael. Every guard within the detention center was found dead. Either burned to death or eaten away by acid."
Kayama dropped her teacup. 'ACID!'
"Security cameras caught this footage ten minutes before the event."
A video played on screen. It showed three heroes running down a hallway as alarms blared. The two heroes collapsed as something hit them in the face. They screamed and writhed in pain. Two figures dashed by.
'Mina'
"One of the perpetrators has been identified as Mina Ashido. She has not been seen or heard from since."
Kayama shut off her television and grabbed a coat. She rooted around her closet for a minute before coming back with two things. A collapsible staff that Hatsume had provided and Mina's eyepiece.
"There's one person she'd go to. Izuka."
)=(
Ryukyu landed on the sidewalk next to Ochaco, Tsuyu, and Nejire.
"Okay now. Who the hell were those people?"
Ochaco closed her eyes. "The most dangerous villain in recent history, and her associates. We're lucky that we aren't all dead."
Nejire shivered. "It was her?"
"Who?" Ryukyu demanded.
"Congratulations boss. *Kero* You just survived an encounter with Izuka Midoriya."
Ryukyu blinked. "That was her… get in the car. We need to get back to the agency as quickly as possible."
"What car?" Ochaco asked. A limo pulled up out of nowhere. "Oh."
As the three students got into the limo with Ryukyu, Ochaco began thinking. 'Those two who killed the giants… One of them seemed familiar. Acid…'
Ochaco clenched her fist. 'I guess there's no avoiding it. I need to pay the old Midoriya apartment a visit…'
)=(
Todoroki walked with Fatgum, Tamaki, and Kirishima. Fatgum explained how they were working on a recent case, where somebody was dealing out quirk enhancers.
"We don't see much of these cases. Ever since we teamed up with Selkie's agency to stop all on land and off land trade of 'Trigger'. Quirk enhancers haven't been much of a problem." The hero explained. "According to the information we have now, these enhancers are giving villains a sort of limit breaking capability. Almost like a taste of their quirk evolution."
"That's not good." Kirishima said.
"Well, thanks to you two, we might be able to take them on. You guys have evolved your quirks right? They should be easy to take down."
Todoroki nodded. Suddenly, the glint of something metal in a crowd of people caught his attention. It was the barrel of a gun. Four men stood with pistols aiming at Todoroki and his allies. "GET DOWN!"
Gunshots rang out in the night. Civilians screamed and scattered. Fatgums eyes went wide as a bullet hit Todoroki in the shoulder.

Oop! Cliffhanger! Sorry about the wait. My brother's birthday was yesterday, so I didn't write. Worry not! Here's today's chapter!
I apologize for those of you who think they're short, but in order to keep up with my update schedule, I can only work out about this much with the free time I have every day. I hope you understand.
As always,
Sushi Out.
