SAC 1: Unforseen

Location: [REDACTED], Date:XX/XX/2XX9, Time: 1423hrs local

"Hunter, this is Overlord. Prep for site-recon mission. Amber alert on UA High facility, 'Unforseen Simulation Joint'. As of five minutes ago, EM interference was detected on our scans of the facility. Your objective is to locate and identify the cause of interference. ROE is to observe and report, do not engage. I repeat, do not engage" came the voice of my commander as I embarked onto the stealth VTOL that would help me infiltrate the school.

"Overlord, I copy all. Will arrive in target area in 10 mikes" I replied. Dressed in an integrated combat armour, the visor prevented anyone from identifying me. I was armed with a suppressed L85A4 assault rifle, SFP10 pistol and KM2000 combat knives, with flashbang, smoke and EFCG grenades secured on the tactical rigging. There were no insignia, no regimental flashes. The armour was painted with urban fractal camouflage, allowing me to remain undetected at range in the current environment.

"All systems green Merlin?" I asked the tactical virtual intelligence monitoring my armour.

"Armour systems are green. What's the plan boss?"" came the TVI's voice, double-checking the integrated armour systems status. I pulled up the plans of the U.S.J.

"Like Overlord said, observe and report. Low-impact. The USJ is divided into 8 zones. In the north we have the entry, northeast we have their 'Ruins Zone' for urban environment training. Northwest is the 'Downpour Zone', simulating a flash flood. The central plaza is where we can get an idea of the situation. On the east, we have the 'Landslide Zone', the name is self-explanatory. South, we have the 'Mountain Zone' for alpine training, South-west is the 'Conflagration Zone', which simulates a fire-emergency and last is the 'Flood Zone', which simulates maritime rescu….? Ok, seriously whiskey tango foxtrot came up with these names? Shouldn't it be the 'Maritime Zone'?...*mumble**mumble**mutter**mutter*" , Merlin coughed to bring me back on track.

"Ah! Sorry, our ingress point is going to be here, above the Landslide Zone. From there, we can go down onto the dome and set up an overwatch. We observe and report back to Overlord on the situation"

"Assuming things don't go Old Man Murphy's way. You do tend to end up on ops like that. Even on leave, we always end up getting into weird situations" Merlin commented. Ok, now hang on one second, that was…. Very fair. Damnit.

"That's ...fair. Here's hoping it's only a technical flaw, quick in and out job" I replied as the VTOL crossed into Japanese airspace, enroute to Tokyo.

ETA: 5 mikes.

"Hunter, this is Talon-1, we have visual on the mission site. Beginning ELINT recon, patching through to your HUD" came the voice of our pilot as we swept over the facility. The visor was immediately filled with the image of the domed white building set a little apart and away from the main building.

"Talon, Hunter. Switch to multiview" I ordered. The view immediately shifted to a mixed false colour thermal, magnetic and acoustic imaging, created by a suite of sensors set on the nose of the VTOL. This was then parsed into a live feed, allowing us to get a better understanding of the situation on the ground in built-up areas.

The feed showed static, which was definitely a first.

"Merlin, clean it up" I ordered, knowing from experience that he would be able to clean up the static.

"On it. And…..done. Huh. This has never happened before" Merlin commented as the static remained. Considering that these were passive sensors, we shouldn't be getting static.

"Hacker?" Talon-1 asked, confused. Merlin and I thought along a different line.

"Quirk. Or a combo Quirk-hacker. Not our first rodeo. Deploy the Argus drones. We switch to active scans. Use them to triangulate the source of interference to take him out. I'm contacting Overlord. Overlord, Hunter. Massive EM and acoustic interference at target facility indicate hostile activity. Permission to engage?" I asked as I rapidly ran through orders, feeling the change in weight as Talon-1 deployed the Argus active scan drones around the facility, to get a better picture and triangulate the hacker/Quirk user.

"Hunter, Overlord. You are weapons free. Protect them at all costs. We're raising the alarm at UA, expect local reinforcements. Your orders are to remain unobserved, clear?"

"I've ID'ed the location of the EM interference. He's letting out a cycling burst of interference, broad spectrum. He's in the group in the Mountain Zone"

"Copy Overlord. Hunter moving in. Merlin, get me an ingress and mark that group for termination" I replied as I moved to the rear loading bay as it opened, blasting me with backwash as I ran out of it and leapt.

Yaoyorozu Momo was trying to keep her composure as she and her classmates Jirou Kyoka and Kurozetto Saku were getting hemmed in. Jirou was supporting Kurozetto as she had been set upon by a nasty virus, causing her to drop in a heap.

Just when she knew that she should start panicking, a blinding flash filled her vision and a disorienting bang deafened and disoriented her. She fell to the ground, disoriented and confused, waiting for the inevitable death to descend.

It didn't come.

As her vision came back to her, she saw that all the villains were on the ground, lying in pools of some unidentified crimson and white liquid. A metallic scent hit her nose, causing her gorge to rise. Swallowing, she looked around muzzily, as her vision popped in and out of focus to see an armed and armoured figure kneeling over Jirou, who was rolling around the floor, screaming.

Lurching to stand, she took three tries to get a staff to form. By then the figure seemed to have realised that she was trying to attack him. They were waving their hands in strange hand signs.

"-ah! Woah! I'm Blue! I'm Blue! Friendly! I'm a friendly! I'm trying to help her!" they said, voice masked, as Momo's ears stopped ringing. She still took a step forward and shoved the tip of her staff under their chin.

"And why the fuck should I believe that?!" she asked, her nerves shot, causing her language to slip. Her tutors would have been horrified by her language. Her mum, while publicly horrified at her daughter's language, had heard and said worse during and after her tenure in the JGSDF and would commiserate with her. Her father would have given her a quietly disappointed 'I'm so proud of you, good work' look just to get her tutors' out of his hair.

Thankfully, her tutors weren't the most intelligent people around.

"Maybe it's because I just saved you all? I wouldn't even be here if you didn't have two seriously wounded combatants. I was trying to stabilise her, but she's in too much pain. Acoustic Quirk?" they asked calmly, even with a staff jammed into their throat.

"Take off your helmet. I want to be able to see who the hell am I talking to" Momo demanded, unwilling to trust someone so obviously armed and armoured, despite all the dead villains. Even if they, as her mum called it, 'slotted' them all, didn't mean they were friendly, whatever their claims maybe. They cock their head to the side, then in a move so fast and fluid, knocks aside her staff and puts her into a half nelson. Before she could even process what had happened, let alone put up a counter, her hands were zip-tied in front of her.

She was then picked up in a fireman's carry and placed in a seated position against the rocks away from the pile of bodies. They then went back, picked up and then placed her classmates near her so that she could see what they were doing. Before she could yell or bite them, something was put onto her mouth, gagging her.

Placing a hand on the back of Kurozetto's neck, she suddenly gasped, her red eyes flying open, framed by her dark blue hair.

"Be a little careful there kid. That virus did a number on your systems" the armoured figure said, their tone aiming for comforting. Guessing by how startled she was, she didn't know what to think.

"You'll be a little disoriented, so don't get up immediately. Wait for three minutes, then head for wherever the rally point is" they said, looking at Momo pointedly, causing her to huff in annoyance. Shaking their head, they stepped over to Jirou, who was in a foetal position. Taking out an injector gun, they placed it against her neck and fired the payload. She slumped over.

Just before Momo could say anything despite the gag, they moved Jirou out off her position to lay her on her back. As Momo made more indignant noises, they took out a tube and placed it's nozzle against first her left, then her right ear. They then stood up, letting her see a silvery foam plugging her ears.

"She'll be fine, just make sure that she doesn't take that out until she meets a medic. It'll protect her ears from further damage. And are you ok princess?" they asked, causing Momo to squawk in protest when they wiped her bang off of her face, tucking it behind her ear. She shook her head in the negative, which seemed to satisfy them. They quickly stood up and ran off of the ledge, leaving Momo with her two injured classmates and a pile of corpses.
