Making A Name

"What the…"

Overhaul – real name Kai Chisaki – and Hari Kurono almost lost their balance. Thankfully, the wall was near and thus both men could hug it, preventing themselves from falling to the floor. They waited until the tremor ended before continuing their walk.

"That…is not good," Kurono stated as he looked upward. "Whatever the guy's quirk is, it gives him an ability to create a tremor."

"That's simply more reason for us to hasten the cleaning," Chisaki said in return. "Are they ready?"

"They are now. Katsukame, unfortunately, perished without giving us even a second."

"Huh, what a useless shield. Anyway, is Eri ready to leave?"

"Of course, Boss. After all, she's the center of this whole operation. She will be the first one to leave."

"Good. Nothing will stop me from making this world clean once again."

As both of them preparing their escape, none of them realize just how close they were to the one who attacked them.

"Come on, really? All of you have powers and this is the best you fuckers got?"

Nobody answered Accelerator's question. It was impossible to answer – or even speak – after all if you're lying down on the ground, no longer breathing. The Esper scratched his head and let out a sigh before walking towards the door.

As he walked, he inspected the gun that he looted from one of the corpses. SIG Sauer, considering its physical appearance. It was a good gun, reminding him of his old gun. While it wasn't SIG, Academy City's gun did bear a physical resemblance to one.

When he entered the house, Accelerator looked around, finding nothing that indicated that it was something more than a traditional Japanese house. So far, he only found an old man in a life support system and several more Yakuza that tried to stop him. Obviously, none of them succeed.

He then tapped the wall with his crutch. After several minutes of doing so, he finally found a wall where the sound was different. The Esper stood in front of it and immediately punched it, revealing a secret entrance. When he entered, the albino noticed that there were three people waiting behind the wall, now lying on the floor. He dispatched them without much fuss with a bullet to the head.

When he walked through a corridor, Accelerator found a dead end. Clicking his tongue in annoyance, he kicked it down, revealing a path. He was about to pass the now-broken "end" when the path suddenly twisting and changing.

"Nice trick you have there." He said with a bit of amusement. "However…"

The Esper put his hand on the wall and made it sink into it. The path started to twist more violently than before. It then spat out a huge guy, which caused it to stop moving. Accelerator pulled out his hand from the wall and – before the guy could recover – immediately gave him a double tap on the head.

He continued his walk, wondering who else would try to stand in his way. His question was answered when he encountered a T-junction. He decided to take a turn to the left, only to met the fists of a huge guy with a bird mask. The punches did nothing except wounding the one who gave a punch.

"Ugh…" The guy was holding back the pain. "Your defense…it's strong. Looks like it will be a good fight."

"Good fight?" Accelerator said before letting out a small laugh. "Sorry to tell you but you bitch won't be able to give me a GOOD FIGHT!"

He tried to punch a guy. However, a barrier suddenly appeared between both of them, preventing the Esper from hurting the guy. The albino took two steps back and looked around for the source of the barrier. He spotted a man that can be described as a monk, wearing a beak mask that covered the lower part of his face.

"My, my, that's a strong defense that you have there." The monk man said while keeping his eyes closed. "A shame for you are merely a shield while we are shield and lance."

"Oi, why do you block it? Don't interrupt my fight!" The huge man said to his partner.

"Merely a shield?" The Esper smiled. "I'll show you a fucking 'shield!'"

Accelerator raised his left feet and stomped the floor, creating several spikes that came from beneath the pair. He stomped again, this time creating spikes from the ceiling. When he stomped once more, the floor and the ceiling went back to normal, albeit damaged. He gave a look at the bodies of his latest "obstacles," seeing that they were barely holding themselves together.

Once again, he continued his walk. The Number One couldn't help but feel annoyed. He was not one to seek a fight but if he got himself into one, he hoped that it would be something enjoyable, like his fights with that hero. Speaking of which, he wondered if…

"Hmm?" Accelerator stopped talking and sniffed the air, smelling alcohol. "What now? A drunkard?"

"Heey, there…" On the ceiling, there was a man drinking alcohol. "Noot feeeeling deezy, areen't you…?"

He only looked at the man for five seconds before shooting him several times. He fell to the floor and the bottle smashed it, breaking into several pieces. The Esper grumbled under his breath before continuing.

Five minutes haven't even passed when he encountered yet more obstacles. This time, it was three people; one wearing a beak mask with a sword in hand, one bald man, and one man with a bag-like mask.

"Now, now, it's impolite to not meet your hosts, isn't it?" The one with beak mask said. "You should have let Irinaka help you in meeting all of us."

"As if I want to see even a single fucking hair of yours." Accelerator retorted as he aimed the gun.

Before he could pull the trigger, he felt that something was trying to take his gun away. The albino looked at the trio in front of him and – noticing the man with beak mask made a grabbing motion with his hand – managed to find out the culprit.

"Why my quirk doesn't work?" The man said between confusion and anger.

"Huh." The Esper pulled the trigger.

The bald man immediately stood in front of his partner, creating crystal all around his body. He blocked the bullet and went towards Accelerator, intending to beat him to submission. The only thing that he accomplished was breaking his own hands.

Before he could retaliate, the Number One felt someone was biting his shoulder. He looked to his left, finding a man with a bag-like mask with his teeth broken.

"Trying to have a bite of me? Really?" He commented before kicking the man to the wall.

He then returned his attention towards the bald man, who tried to punch him again. He dodged the attack and punched him in the chin, sending him flying towards the ceiling. The man with beak mask dashed towards the Esper with a sword in hand. Accelerator caught the hand and broke it, causing the man to drop the sword. He picked it up and slashed him in the throat.

Accelerator released the man, letting him bleed to death. He looked at the man with a bag-like mask, who was about to recover when the albino threw the sword and hit him in the chest. Accelerator looked upwards at the bald man, stuck in the ceiling. He pulled him off and let him fell to the floor. He then finished the man with a stomp on the head.

After dealing with them, the next "obstacle" in his way was a man wearing all black; black cape, black mast, and black hat. He had a gun aimed at Accelerator. While he couldn't see his face, the Esper could guess that the man was furious.

"You! How you managed to pass all of them this soon?!" The man demanded.

Before he could even open his mouth, Accelerator felt something in his head. He remembered this kind of sensation. It was several years ago when the researchers at the Academy City tested whether he could be brainwashed. The one who did it, if he wasn't wrong, was also a Level 5.

Well, it didn't matter that much. But at least he knew what the man tried to do.

"You try to brainwash me, huh?" He made a smile and walked forward.

"Impossible! You should have…" The man took several steps back and now had both of his hand holding the gun. "Stay back!"

Accelerator didn't heed the warning. He simply dashed towards the man while laughing.

As they went towards Eri's room, Chisaki couldn't help but feel furious. He could hear them; the sounds of the Eight Expendables being taken care of one by one. While being killed to buy time for their superiors to escape was the entire point of their existence, they weren't supposed to be killed this fast! Not even half an hour passed since the intruder breached the front gate!

"That man…he…he will pay for this!" Chisaki thought in fury.

Both him and Kurono suddenly stopped when they felt something flew past them. When it landed several feet in front of them, they recognized that it was Shin Nemoto, his entire head destroyed like a grape.

"Well, look what we have here." They turned around to see a man walking towards them. "Looks like we finally found the boss and second-in-command."

Kurono immediately took out his gun and fired. In preparation, he already loaded a quirk-destroying bullet. Chisaki smiled a little under his mask at the man's stupidity. The moment that the bullet hit him it would be only…

His thought was interrupted when Kurono suddenly fell to the ground. Chisaki looked at him, finding his assistant holding his throat as blood came from it. He realized at what had just happened; the bullet was deflected towards him.

He was about to help him with his quirk when the intruder suddenly dashed towards him. The albino punched him in the stomach. Chisaki tried to touch him but the man punched him again.

"You know, I have heard about the state of the Yakuza. A shadow of its former self, am I right?" The man said before punching him in the chin. "From what I see, you don't deserve even your current position."

Anger flooded his mind. He kept trying to touch him but every time his hand was close, the intruder immediately punched him at various places; stomach, shoulder, head, anywhere.

"Using little girl as an ingredient for your drug? That makes me sick!" The man grabbed his left hand and ripped it off. "Even if you succeed, you fucker will be the bottom of the barrel! Maybe even lower than that!"

Chisaki didn't have a chance to scream. The man kept punching him without a break.

"You know why?" The man grabbed his right hand. "Because first-class villains don't target honest lives!"

The intruder punched him in the chest. This time, it was much stronger compared to his previous punches, sending Chisaki flying across the corridor. Because his right hand was being held by the man, it got ripped off, effectively making the leader of Shie Hassaikai armless.

"Ah, looks like I punch him too strong." The man commented, the tone of his voice and smile indicated that he was simply playing around.

Chisaki lied on the floor for a minute before trying to at least sit up. It was very difficult to do, almost impossible in fact, due to lack of a hand. He was also slowly losing his unconscious due to the bleeding. If he didn't do something soon…

"No…I can't…not until…"

"What…"

Chisaki looked upwards, finding Eri looking at him curiously. Then, something else came to her face. It took a while for him to recognize what it was and when he did, cold sweat started to gather on his forehead.

It was anger. Pure unadulterated anger.

"Eri…Wa…"

He was unable to finish his word when Eri touched him.

When Accelerator went inside the room, he found no sign of the boss of the Yakuza. He only found a pool of blood with a little girl near it. There was no mistake; that girl was the reason he was here.

"He's gone…he's gone…" The girl said before letting out a giggle. He recognized that tone; one that one let out after long suffering.

"Hey, brat." Accelerator said as he went towards her.

The girl was surprised and looked at him. In fear, she took several steps back. Accelerator stopped walking and crouched down. The girl's fear turned into curiosity. She slowly approached the Esper, keeping the distance between them.

"Are you…a hero?" The girl asked.

"I am not one." Accelerator stated. "I am here to save you though."

"Huh." The girl tilted her head. "Who are you? I am Eri."

"Call me Accelerator. I don't remember what my name was and it doesn't matter."

He raised his hand slowly towards her. Eri took a step back. Yet despite that, her fear didn't increase in the slightest.

"Don't touch me." She warned as she looked at her hands. "My quirk…it's…"

Accelerator let out a sigh as he took something from his pocket. When he showed it to Eri, the latter could see that it was a pair of gloves.

"Might be too big for you but they should do the job." He said as he tossed her the gloves.

Eri put them on right after catching the gloves. Just as he said, they were too big for her but not too much. Accelerator stood up and offered his hand. Slowly, Eri moved her hand to accept it. Finally, both of their hand touched each other.

It was at that moment that Eri let out a shriek as the Esper suddenly carried her.

"Hold yourself. This will be a roller coaster."

"What's a roller coaste-AAAHH!"

As they dashed away from the room, Eri could feel her chest became warmer. This man, Accelerator, was not Deku. Yet, despite that, she knew that she could trust him.

"…What?"

Izuku was currently sitting in the meeting room. Sir Nighteye had gathered them. He informed them that he received the latest update of the situation regarding Shie Hassaikai. The only way to describe the update was a series of bad news.

"Last night, there was an emergency call. The call came from the neighborhood where Shie Hassaikai's HQ was located. When the firefighters arrived, they found the whole building on fire." Sir Nighteye stated, not looking at any other occupant in the room. "The time when it happened…was the time when we were dealing with the bank robbery."

"Wait, are you trying to say…" Fat Gum suddenly started to have a cold sweat.

"Yes. Considering the strange nature of the robbery, it is likely that it merely a distraction for us."

The "strange nature" that Sir Nighteye referred to was how the robbery was solved when the robbers suddenly surrender. When they were taken into custody, they kept saying that they didn't mean to rob the bank. For some reason, that thought came into their minds as sudden as it disappeared.

If it was combined with the attack on the HQ, then…

"Is there any survivor?" Ryukyu asked.

"No survivor was found. At the same time, there's also no sign of them being dead. Currently, seven people are declared missing, including Kai Chisaki and Eri." Sir Nighteye answered.

Eri…

A small part of Izuku's mind hoped that Eri managed to survive. That she escaped when the attack occurred, that she wasn't killed by the fire, that she was out there, waiting for the heroes to save her.

But he knew how unlikely it was. It was likely that she currently at the hands of the one who attacked Shie Hassaikai or worse, already dead and simply haven't been identified yet.

"Do we know who attacked them?" Rock Lock asked.

"There's no clue so far." Sir Nighteye replied. "Investigation has only recently started. As of now, there's not much that we know."

Izuku felt a hand on his shoulder. When he looked at the one who grabbed him, he saw Mirio looking at him with sadness on his face. He didn't need to ask why he had a face like that. Izuku already knew the answer.

In the bar, Eri was currently eating sausages. Or at least trying as she found them too hot for her and blew them so that they became colder faster. So far, she didn't succeed.

"So, that's the girl?" The bartender asked as he cleaning a glass.

"Who else?" Accelerator asked in return as he took a sip of his coffee.

"So, what now? You're going to hand her over to the authority?" He said, making the Esper looked at him as if he grew a second head.

"Are you fucking serious? With quirk like that, it would be a fucking miracle if she doesn't become a vegetable after a month in those assholes' care." Accelerator put down his cup. "Being a weapon, that's the only fate waiting for her if I hand her over."

"Personal experience?"

He didn't answer back. The albino stood up and walked towards the girl, who was now able to eat her sausages.

"Oi, brat!" He said as he sat in front of her.

"What is it, Accelerator?" Eri asked, already used to her savior's foul mouth.

"Your quirk." The Esper said bluntly. "What do you think about it?"

"It's…" She lowered her head. "It's a curse. That's what my mom said. Chi…He spoke to me on how my quirk is good only for destruction. That everything that I touch, it will be destroyed. My existence is a cursed one. My…"

Eri stopped talking when Accelerator suddenly chopped her head.

"Ouch…" She said as she held her head.

"I don't need to hear all of that shit." He said as his hand went to his pocket. "So, you don't want your quirk?"

"No, I don't want it! Everything that it did, it always brings me nothing but despair!"

"When that bastard had you under his care, he was developing a drug that can destroy a quirk." Accelerator said as he showed Eri a bullet. "This is an example of one. That drug is also one of the few things that I took from that HQ."

Eri was not a genius by any mean but it didn't take one to understand what he had just said.

It was lunchtime and the students of the U.A. went towards the cafeteria. One of the tables were already occupied by the students of Class 1-A. There, Uraraka, Asui, and Kirishima couldn't help but be worried about Izuku, who was focused on eating. They knew that he was focused on doing that to take his mind away from a certain subject.

Eat…

The meat was well-seasoned…

Eat…

The rice was well-cooked…

Eat…

"Oy, Midoriya!" Izuku stopped eating and looked at Kirishima. "Seriously dude. What's wrong?"

"Well…"

Izuku put his spoon down. He tried to say something but all that came out was a chocked hiccupping voice. He could feel tears forming up in his eyes. He wiped them away, only for more to formed up.

"When…When I meet Eri for the first time…" Izuku tried to not cry. "I…I have to let her go…I…we…we believe that it's only…a matter of time until we rescue her."

Tears started to flow out of his eyes. Uraraka put her hand on his shoulder, hoping to calm Izuku down. It was clear that he was about to lose it.

"And yet…yet…now…Eri…she…"

The dam finally broke down. Izuku put his hands on his eyes as he cried. His friends immediately went to his side, hugging him as they told him to calm down.

"Eri…I am sorry…I should have saved you…"

In the living room, Misaka Worst and Last Order were watching a TV show when they heard someone entered the apartment. Knowing who it was, Worst gave a look from the sofa and greeted their guardian.

"So, you've returned, huh?" She said towards him as she noticed someone was with him. "That's her, right?"

"Who do you think, brat?" Accelerator said in return.

Last Order turned her head and saw Accelerator approaching her with Eri just behind her. There was a bandage around her head but nevertheless, the girl was healthy. She was hiding behind his legs, feeling shy and nervous.

"Oi, say hello to them, damn brat." The Esper stated as he moved Eri forward.

The girl slowly approached the clones. While Worst looked at the scene with amusement, Last Order stood up from the sofa and walked towards Eri.

"Hello there, it's nice to meet you, Misaka says as Misaka happily greet you." Last Order had her hand raised.

"H-Hello, I am Eri." She replied softly.

"Say, do you like Gekota? Misaka asks as Misaka hope that she meets fellow Gekoer."

"N-No. What's a Gekota?"

"Ah, Misaka forgets that there's no Gekota here, Misaka says as Misaka grabs Eri's hand and drags her into her room."

"E-Eh?"

As both of them went to Last Order's room, Accelerator took a seat on the sofa beside Worst. The clone, rather than teasing him as usual, decided to ask him about something.

"So, what's with the bandage?" She asked.

"She will never be troubled by her power." Accelerator answered simply.

"You use the drug, huh?" He didn't answer the question as there was no need for that. "Thinking about using it on yourself?"

"Don't fuck around. My ability has nothing to do with quirk. Besides, it's too late for me." He grabbed the remote and changed the channel. "That brat, however, has a hope of achieving an honest life."

"Not disagreeing. There's no need to drag her into the darkness that's our home."

Finding no channel that was interesting, Accelerator tossed the remote to Worst as he decided to take a nap. Before that, he used his ability to block the noise from reaching his ears. The last thing that he heard was the sound of Last Order enthusiastically introducing Gekota to an excited Eri.
