Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Toxic Relationships. Enjoy the 1000-word chapter. I don't own My Hero Academia. Shonen Jump, Kohei Horikoshi and a few others do.

(Japan, night)

"And I'm still questioning how we haven't graduated… We're nearly… Are heroes at this point, so…" Blue said, Lucas was about to speak up when an explosion cut them off. This was followed by a series of more explosions.

Lucas, Blue, Kyoka and Mina all looked at this, Lucas turned to Blue. He started rushing in, Blue starting following him, Kyoka and Mina behind them.

"Are we seriously…?" Blue started to say, Lucas was already pulling his costume on and sliding his weapons into place on his body.

"Yes, we sure as hell are." Gunslinger said as he locked his mask into place before the others had changed into their costumes.

They ran to the street and found a group of thugs, not villains like they had faced before, but regular thugs with rifles and ski masks like would be on tv shows.

This was before a hulking man with sliver hair and a torn black and blue jacket with combat boots and blue cargo pants. Blue eyes looked around.

"C'mon you idiots, we don't have much time!" The man said as Gunslinger and Kyoka took cover behind a car and Mina and Blue behind a corner.

"Who's this guy? What's he telling them to steal?" Mina asked, Gunslinger shrugged and reached for his rifle slowly.

"I don't know, their stealing something, and we have to do something…" Gunslinger said, one of the thugs looked around the corner.

"Hey! Boss, come he-…" The man started to say before Gunslinger slugged him in the face, he spun and slammed into the concrete, his rifle cracking on the ground as he did so.

The second that happened, the 5 other thugs opened fire, Gunslinger wrapped an arm around Kyoka and pulled her out of the way before he fired and nailed one of the thugs in the leg, he went down, in pain but alive.

"Ah… Super heroes…. I heard your kind was causing them trouble for my 'peers'… Men, leave, I will handle them." The man said, Gunslinger flipped over the car, tossing a flashbang from his vest at the thugs as he rushed at the others.

"Oh no, you don't!" Gunslinger yelled as the flash bang exploded and blinded the thugs, Gunslinger dropkicked one of the men to the ground before the bigger man kicked him.

Gunslinger flew into a car and the door caved in and the glass shattered. The man chuckled as 2 of the thugs rushed at him.

This was before a blast of acid hit their rifles, they started burning before a line of lava was blasted between the groups.

"You guys are nuts!" Blue yelled, Kyoka put her jacks into the ground and blasted the ground, it shattered as the shockwave knocked the man off his feet.

"Thanks, Jack." Gunslinger stated as he shook his head and he rubbed his head before the man turned to a car.

"You children won't stop my boss… Neither can you stop 'Barricade'…" Barricade said before he hefted the car over his head before tossing it at them.

"Oh crap…" Gunslinger said before he rolled to the side, Kyoka rushed Barricade, Gunslinger saw her whip one of the thugs and they spun in pain before Blue tackled another and punched him. It wasn't hard enough to do major damage, but it knocked him down.

Gunslinger raised his rifle and fired it, the bullets hit Barricade but bounced off him like rain off an armored car.

"Barricade? That's one hell of a name…" Gunslinger muttered before he reloaded, he couldn't use his quirk, it would put Mina, Blue and Kyoka in danger and he doubted it would take down Barricade without a few minutes.

"Come here, kid." Barricade said as he swung at Kyoka, she rolled back before Mina punched at him with an acid filled fist. she gasped in pain, but Barricade yelled as the acid burned his armor like skin.

"Brat!" He yelled as he kicked Mina back, he went to slam Kyoka to the ground before Gunslinger leapt on his back and locked his hands around his neck, the titan of a man roared.

"GET OFF ME!" Gunslinger heard from Barricade as he tightened his grip, he looked at Kyoka.

"Jack, blast him!" Gunslinger yelled, Kyoka blinked in shock before Gunslinger felt Barricade try and elbow him, he hissed in pain.

"DO IT NOW, I'LL BE FINE!" Gunslinger yelled, Kyoka nodded and shot her jacks into Barricade's chest.

Gunslinger was blasted off Barricade as she blasted him full force, he fell to his knees as Gunslinger tried to climb to his feet.

"Ok, Barricade… You can give up, or you can try and fight her… Your choice." Gunslinger wheezed out, Barricade laughed.

"You won't stop the others…. And we already have what we want in this area, kid." Barricade said before he punched the ground and Gunslinger and the others crashed to the ground as the cement cracked under them.

Barricade rushed off, the surviving henchmen dragged his companion into the car and rushed off, leaving 2 thugs knocked out.

"Who was that guy?" Blue asked as the quartet heard the sound of police sirens as they climbed to their feet.

"A new villain… And from what I heard, he wasn't alone…. Ow… I don't know who hits harder, him or Jiro…" Gunslinger said, Kyoka rolled her eyes and rubbed her neck.

"Looks like there's new villains in town…" Gunslinger muttered, the others nodded.

Author Notes

Phew, another chapter done! That's the first of the new villains: Barricade! I know of One for All and the other villains, I want to put in new ones. I also want to point out this story will mostly be Gunslinger, Kyoka, Blue and Mina fighting crime and school and stuff like that. Next chapter is next Thursday and will show Gunslinger and the others talking about the villains. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
