"Reports have confirmed of a massive underground complex being raided by The Guild last night. Heroines and police are still speculating the reason as to why the Guild has taken such action, or how such a complex could have been created in such a place. Many Pro heroes who were on the scene had this to-" the news reports was cut off with the flicking of a remote.
Katsuki scowled as the news hadn't shut up for several hours. All the latest details and speculations being thrown out with little care as to just why they did it. Though many of the things that had been found in the facility left a deep sickness burning in the back of his throat, he's glad that they've destroyed a hellhole like it.
Though the three girls from U.A. were still here, Ochako and Mina busily comforting Jirou, who was waiting for Deku to update them on Denki and Sero.
The others weren't doing much either. Kirishima seemed as though he wanted to tell us something, but couldn't think of doing so. Shuichi and Toga were passed out on the other couch. Touya was with Tokoyami, skimming through all the fucked up shit that the Facility was doing.
Katsuki just scowled more as he finally realized something. They'll be inactive again, who knows how long it'll be until he can do anything related to vigilantism once more?
Should he really be held back in such a way? Why should he lose the rush he gets when beating down villains? Can't Deku just let him loose on his own with an emergency escape tool?
So many questions, so few answers.
Midoriya had to resist the urge to scream, instead cradling his face into his palms in frustration. He and Kai had skimmed through the various pieces of data related to Denki and Sero's experimentation. The things they saw in those records were haunting enough that he'd rather lock them away in his head and forget about for the rest of his life.
But he can't right now.
They hold the key to reversing what had been done to Denki and Sero.
Much like Stain, they possessed numerous Quirks which either gave them these powers or made sure said powers didn't destroy their bodies. All he had to do was remove the Quirks in the correct order so that any lasting damage would be mitigated.
So here he was, forcing himself to categorize the Quirks which were forced into them and the effects each had on them. Every note which he forces himself through brought him one step closer to bringing back Denki and Sero..
And one step closer to bringing back the man that has become Stain.
It was obvious that The Guild had gone through the facility's data. Even as Nedzu skimmed through the copy he had been given, most of the heroes assumed that the missing pieces and bugged data was nothing more than an emergency data wipe, but he knew better. He's seen the differences left by the likes of numerous hackers and data experts, and Shadow has his own little quirks when it comes to hacking.
Though the fact that The Guild only struck against this group of mysterious villains after both Denki Kaminari and Sero Hanta were kidnapped just gave him more people to add to the list of known Guild members.
He can only assume the turmoil that the vigilante group is currently going through as the horrid experiments of that facility were used on their own members.
He'll have to give his condolences, and thank him for bringing this issue to light. They've left him enough information to begin a mass investigation, trace through every bit of information to find out just who was funding all this.
Who could have been funding such inhumane acts? and how could they stop it for good?
So many questions, so little time to ponder.
By now homebase was almost empty. Kirishima, Mina, and Ochako all returned home. Touya had dragged Shuichi and Toga to the living areas in another section of the compound. Tokoyami had dissapeared not long ago.
All that remained was Katsuki, Hitoshi, and Jirou; all of them waiting patiently for Midoriya to return. An awkward silence hung in the air as the trio just sat on the couchs and waited.
None of them had anything to talk about, well, anything that would alleviate the tension in the air.
They had stopped keeping track of time when Midoriya finally stepped out. His face grim and tired from hours of work. "I have good news, and I have bad news. which do you want first?" he said to the trio.
"Good news." Jirou said before either of the others could speak. "The alterations performed on Denki and Sero can be reversed." Midoriya said the good news. "And why haven't they been done yet?" Jirou asked in a half agitated fashion. "It will take time." Midoriya responded.
"Time... Take time, I thought this was the Guild. The vigilante group that could pull weapons and machines crazier than fiction out from nowhere. The team that has put down major villain factions, prevented any casualties at the U.S.J, the team that fought off over three hundred Noumus and made the Hero Comission back off. And this will take time." Jirou ranted with tears in her eyes.
"Those all needed time." "We got lucky with most of them." "We don't make miracles." Was the mixed response from each respective member present. "Those gangs and the U.S.J required weeks of planning, the only reason we made it through that Noumu attack was because I was already making weapons incase we got attack, those prototypes were untested when the Noumus attacked, but we couldn't just let them kill us. The Comission only backed off because I took a gamble that was either going to pay off or go horribly wrong" Midoriya slowly took apart Jirou's argument.
"I know this isn't want you want to hear, but that's the good news." Midoriya finished. "Then what is the bad news?" Jirou asked. "We have to keep them in medically induced comas until it can all be undone." Midoriya answered.
Jirou just groaned while resting her face in her palms. "Let me see them then." she quietly said. Midoriya shook his head. "Not tonight, We're all exhausted and shaken from what we encountered. It will be better to do so tomorrow." he reasoned.
Jirou let out a tired sigh then nodded. "Ok, I'll wait, But don't think that for a moment that I'm happy with this." she replied. "I know, none of us are happy about what happened to them." Izuku responded.
The four left Homebase, exhausted from the day they've had.
'Was that an old base of mine?'
'Did I ever make anything like those freaks?"
'I made Noumus, but they were always made by amalgamting Quirks into a single person'
'These hodgepodges of Quirks are far less stable, but definitely far more powerful'
'Might as well check on the doctor, see what she's been up as of late'
Kai watched as the monitors steadily beeped. Both patients remained motionless in their comatose states. He had run through the data numerous times, and considered the plan to fix them. Midoriya was far more optimistic for them than he had been with Stain.
The plan being to take a small number of Quirks at a time, then let them recover.
They haven't had as long a time for the Quirks to set in as Stain had. Though that doesn't mean the plan was foolproof. The amount of precision required for this removal treatment and the amount of time meant that every day that they still have these Quirks, the harder it will be to fully undo the changes.
So all that can be done now, was to leave them in their comatose states, and keep a steady supply of Quirk suppressant flowing through them.
Its going to be a long and stressful night.
Ok, I know this is a little disappointing for how long it's taken me to bring this next chapter. I've been busy with the latest one-shot chapter (it's quite the long one).Hope you guys at least enjoyed this chapter.See you guys next time.
