BNA: The Beast Heroes Academia
Chapter 7: "Easy Albatross"
One day, a sort of Albatross Beastman was soaring in the air when a pro hero with red wings on his back named Hawks arrived and stopped next to him.
"Excuse me! I don't know if you noticed, but you're in Japanese airspace without authorization. I need to ask you to show me your credentials.", Hawk responded.
"I'm a migratory albatross. My flying rights should be protected under the Migratory Bird Pact.", the albatross beastman said.
"Look, man, I'm just doing my job, all right? So, can you just land somewhere and we can talk?", Hawks asked.
"Well, that's certainly not a response from a human I was expecting. But I don't exactly trust you government types.", the beastman sighed before then leaning to the right with Hawks following after him.
"Dang, that's cold...", Hawks said with a bit of a whisper.
Meanwhile, a boy with dark green hair was pushing a tire along the beach when All Might turned to the boy's twin.
"Izuka, I'm gonna go somewhere else for a while and until I get back, you're in charge of your brother, Izuku, got it?", All Might asked.
"Right. I won't let you down. Where are you headed, anyway?", Izuka asked.
"As fate would have it, I'm heading to Anima City.", All Might responded, surprising both the boy and girl.
"Anima City?!", Izuku and Izuka exclaimed in shock.
"That's the city built exclusively for Beastmen, isn't it?!", Izuka asked.
"Yeah. It's supposed to be a shining beacon for a future where Beastmen and humans cooperate.", Izuku responded.
"Mm-hmm. But not everyone agrees with its existence and have formed the anti-Beastmen movement. What jerks...", Izuka sighed.
"Hey! Quit nerding out and start working out!", All Might shouted.
"Oh, yeah! Sorry.", Izuku realized.
"We'll get right on it!", Izuka added before they did so.
Back at Anima City, Nazuna was practicing her singing when she, along with Kazuma, who sat next to Sichiru, noticed how sad she was getting, much to their puzzlement before Nazuna stopped and spoke up.
"What's wrong, Sichiru?", Nazuna asked.
"Well, you see... It's about my sis, Michiru.", Sichiru responded.
"What...?", Nazuna puzzled.
"What about her?", Kazuma asked in worry before it started to rain.
"Maybe we should go back inside first.", Sichiru suggested.
In the air, the albatross beastman was soaring downward.
"This is it, my destination awaits. But things are about to get difficult.", the albatross beastman spoke, soaring down the rain before lightning struck.
Meanwhile, Nazuna and Kazuma were shocked by the news.
"What...?! Boris raped Michiru?!", Nazuna gasped in horror.
"That dastard...! How dare he do this to her?! I'm going out there and I'm going to end him myself!", Kazuma seethed with rage, about to go out.
"No, Kazuma! We don't have any evidence to fall back on but her word. I hate Boris, too, but we need to get more evidence so that Boris can be proven guilty. Until then, as much as it pains me to say this, we can't say or do anything about it.", Sichiru sighed, leaving both Nazuna and Sichiru worried before the Albatross beastman suddenly crashed through the roof, taking the trio by surprise before they turned to notice the albatross beastman, who morphed back to Human form and fell fast asleep. puzzling them.
"Uh..., is he sleeping?", Sichiru puzzled.
"Maybe...", Nazuna responded.
Later, after the rains cleared, the albatross beastman woke up.
"Well, that didn't go exactly as planned.", the beastman groaned.
"Hey. Are you okay?", Nazuna asked before the beastman sat up and walked out to where she and Gem were covering the hole with a tarp.
"Oh, goodness! That was my doing, wasn't it?", the albatross beastman asked in shock.
"Yes. You created a rather sizable hole up here.", Gem responded.
"You really should be resting right now, you know.", Melissa stated.
"Well, I couldn't rest very well, knowing all the trouble I caused for you nice folks.", the albatross beastman explained.
"Well, at least you're not in any pain.", Nazuna responded.
However, that was when the albatross beastman noticed something only he could see in the air.
"There's a gust headed your way! Be careful up there!", the albatross beastman warned.
"Huh?", Nazuna puzzled before said gust hit, blowing Nazuna away with gem trying to keep her from flying away via tarp only for her to slip away.
"Nazuna, no!", Gem shouted in worry before the albatross beastman changed into his albatross form and flew over to Nazuna, catching her and giving her some relief before she looked up at the albatross beastman.
Later, the albatross beastman was eating lunch with her, Kazuma, Sichiru, Melissa, and Gem.
"I'll admit. Hot food really does hit the spot.", the beastman responded.
"You mean you didn't eat for a while?", Nazuna asked.
"Well, I've been up in the sky for so long.", the albatross beastman responded.
"Did you come to Anima City in hopes of seeking refuge?", Melissa asked.
"You'll need to fill out your beastman registration.", Gem stated.
"I won't be here very long. I'm a migratory albatross, you see.", the beastman responded.
"Migratory? Like a bird that travels?", Nazuna asked.
"That's right.", the beastman responded.
"That sounds nice...", Sichiru sighed.
"What do you mean?", the beastman asked.
"Uh, hello?! You can fly through the sky and go wherever you want.", Sichiru responded.
"If we were able to fly, we would've shown up here no problem.", Kazuma added, prompting the beastman to think of something.
"Would you...care to take a flight?", the albatross beastman offered.
"Really...? That would mean so much!", Nazuna grinned.
Meanwhile, Mayor Rose was speaking with Shirou, Nezu, All Might, Eraser Head, Best Jeanist, Endeavor, and Hawks.
"Anything we need to know?", Eraser head asked.
"We've looked into the Church of the Silver Wolf. Up until about a half a year ago, they were no more than a peaceful folk region. But then, a man named Cliff Boris joined them and they began to rapidly expand and gain influence.", Mayor Rose explained.
"And their leader is a childhood friend of the fox girl.", Shirou realized.
"Two Beastman-itis sufferers who happen to be friends is hard to believe that...it's a coincidence. Right?", Mayor Rose said.
"Did one of them infect the other?", Nezu asked.
"Were that the case, I'd expect it to spread further.", Mayor Rose responded.
"Yeah, that's true. Besides, a pandemic like that? That's definitely not what anyone needs. That is, unless something like that is an actual quirk and not a virus.", Hawks responded.
"So, the mystery only deepens. I will allow their organization to settle here. I would prefer to observe this beastman disease up close.", Mayor Rose explained before she heard a beeping nearby.
"Mayor. There's someone to see you.", the secretary stated before Rose pressed a button and held it.
"I don't believe I had an appointment.", Rose said.
"Yes, well...", the secretary began before Alan walked in toward Rose and Ogame.
"Good day! Apologies for showing up without an appointment. It's been far too long, Mayor Barballet Rose.", Alan greeted.
"Chairman Alan! I didn't expect to see you here so soon.", Mayor Rose responded.
"I'm sorry. I'm a slave to my whims. Although, I, myself didn't expect to be graced with the presence of the Top Heroes of UA.", Alan said.
"Ah. So, you've heard of us. It's nice to see that our reputation precedes us even in Anima City.", All Might responded.
"I'm sure it does, All Might. I'm Alan Sylvasta, Chairman of Sylvasta Pharmaceutical. It's a pleasure.", Alan greeted, offering him his hand.
"Shirou Ogame.", Shirou responded.
"Not too fond of handshakes?", Alan asked.
"Sorry. The scent of human tends to linger.", Shirou explained.
"Right. How inconsiderate of me.", Alan blushed, lowering his hand.
"Mr. Ogame here is the mayor's advisor. He's been working with us since the foundation of Anima City.", the secretary explained.
"Then, it seems like your position is similar to mine. I've provided capital just as you provided wisdom. You have my thanks for dealing with the bombing incident at our hospital.", Alan thanked.
"You were aware of that?", Mayor Rose asked.
"You and your assistants are truly heroes, one of which is cute. You foiled the plot of Yaba and his accomplices. I've read up on the police reports.", Alan responded.
"You said cute?", Shirou asked.
"Oh, was I wrong? I'm referring to the Fox girl.", Alan explained.
"I wouldn't say cute's the right word.", Shirou responded before Alan chuckled.
"It's just gossip. You shouldn't take it seriously. I am sorry for showing up without notice. I hear the Church of the Silver Wolf is seeking residency. Although, I'd advise a refusal.", Alan suggested.
"We would be failing the city's goals if we were to do that.", Mayor Rose responded.
"Indeed. Anima City is a refuge for persecuted Beastmen. By living here, Beastmen could have a human culture and learn how to co-exist with humans. Your vision of this city resonated with me. So, I decided to support you financially as a representative of the humans.", Alan stated.
"That's right. Anima City will not refuse a beatsman. Why say that?", Mayor Rose asked.
"A feeling?", Alan replied, only making Shirou growl and bare his fangs.
"My, what exquisite fangs you have! I'd expect no less from a wolf.", Alan commented.
"Ogame, please. I know that the successor to the Sylvasta conglomerate is not the type of human that would act upon a feeling alone.", Mayor Rose said.
"Well, perhaps you've overestimated me. I simply believe that the current Anima City does not need the Church of the Silver Wolf.", Alan responded.
"Why's that?", Shirou asked calmly.
"In this era of the modernization of Beastmen, harboring a cult like that will have the opposite effect. They'll provoke the anti-beastmen front. Aren't you aware? Congressmanners, Beastman group activists, journalists. Recently, some of these key players in Beastman rights movements around the world have been attacked. There's intel that unidentified aerial beastmen have infiltrated the city. But, of course, this decision lies with you. Depending what you decide, I may end up having to rework my entire strategy.", Alan responded.
"Is that a threat?", Shirou asked.
"Just a warning.", Alan responded.
"Well, you can rest assured, Mr. Sylvasta. If any human or beastman tries anything, the heroes and Students that are already in Anima City would be there to protect them.", Nezu grinned.
"I should hope so.", Alan responded before Shirou gave Endeavor a dirty look.
"Do you have something to say?", Endeavor asked.
"I smelled some kind of suffocating arrogance about you. It's suffocating.", Shirou responded, ticking Endeavor off.
"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!", Endeavor shouted, glaring at Shirou.
"Easy, now. No need to bicker amongst ourselves now.", Nezu said, breaking up the fight before it could start.
"Well, I can see there are some apparent issues that need to be resolved, so I'm going to be the new director so I can personally oversee the medical center. I do hope we won't have to move its location out of Anima City. That'd be such a shame. Bye, now.", Alan said as he left.
Meanwhile, Nazuna was laughing in immense joy as the albatross beastman soared across the city and out to the ocean below.
"This is amazing! So, how do you catch the wind?", Nazuna asked.
"You asked how? It's just something you get used to. You figure out where the wind is born and how it wants to blow. I learned from my father. And he from his father. If I had to explain it, it's about humidity and pressure. There are lots of intricacies, but a beastman will learn to feel it with his body.", the albatross beastmen explained.
"Wow... That must be nice...", Nazuna grinned.
"Yes, it is. At least, it used to be, anyway.", the albatross responded.
"Why?", Nazuna puzzled.
"We're migratory bird beastmen. We migrate just like any other migratory bird. That's how we've lived for generations. However, once beastmen were acknowledged to have the same rights as humans, our migrations were immediately outlawed. They said that we were now required to get passports and go through mandatory immigration procedures.", the albatross beastman explained.
"That's awful...", Nazuna said sadly.
Play DB Super Music: "An Eerie Foe"
"These are the routes our ancestors followed for ages. They're ingrained deep within our bodies and they cannot be changed now. 'Why do we have to adapt to the humans' preferences?' Comrades of mine have begged the same question and have been shot down mid-flight. Border violations, we were told.", the albatross beastman explained as it showed said event.
"How could they...?", Nazuna spoke sadly.
"It even happened to me once. But just as I was shot down, someone with wings came by, swooped in, and just like that, saved me. At first, I thought it was another bird beastman like me. But after getting a good look, I realized that the top hero, Hawks, was the one who saved me.", the albatross beastman explained as it showed him getting shot down before Hawks then swooped in and managed to saved him before landing in a certain spot on the ground.
"What? Hawks, one of the top heroes of UA, saved you?", Nazuna asked in surprise.
"That's right. After that, he patched me up with bandages to help my wings heal so . You could save we have a bit of history together from then on ever since. Honestly, a chance meeting with him was the only good thing that came out of this tragedy. After all, birds of a feather should stick together. They say we're equals, but we're bound by human rules. And who decided that humans were superior, anyway?", the albatross beastman asked to Nazuna.
"Don't worry. We'll find someway to help legalize migrations again.", Nazuna assured, making the albatross beastman grin.
"Oh. What's your name?", Nazuna asked.
"My name is Pingua. What's yours?", Pingua asked.
"It's Nazuna.", Nazuna greeted.
End DB Super Music: "An Eerie Foe"
Meanwhile, Alan walked over to a sort of stand selling drinks known as "Fire Bull".
"Hello. Could I have one of those?", Alan asked.
"They're made specifically for beastmen.", the salesperson said.
"Oh. You can tell I'm human.", Alan guessed.
"It's your scent.", the salesperson responded.
"Oh? No matter. I'll take one.", Alan said.
"Here you go.", the salesperson said, placing said cup on the desk before Alan took a sip of it.
"Oh. That was utterly repulsive.", Alan commented before pouring the rest onto the ground.
"Then here. Take this, so you can wash the taste out of your mouth.", Hawks advised as he landed.
"My, thank you for this, Hawks.", Alan spoke as Hawks then handed him a bottle.
"Oh, no problem, man.", Hawks responded.
Meanwhile, Shirou was quite uneasy about the situation as were the top heroes.
"Are you really going to do as that kid told you to?", Endeavor asked.
"I was about to ask her the same thing.", Shirou glared to Endeavor.
"It's because he's young that we can't make light of him. The Sylvasta conglomerate is a long-standing name in Europe and it's well-recognized that Alan is the heart of the company. You're aware that the city's finances depend on the support of Sylvasta Pharmaceutical, right?", Mayor Rose asked.
"That church smells like nothing but trouble. But I'm even more opposed to bending the knee to a human.", Ogame responded.
"Regardless, there are things we must reach a decision on. We have to do what we think is best, even if it earns us the scorn of the Beastmen.", Mayor Rose responded.
"A hard decision, I'm sure.", Eraser Head said.
Just then, the secretary spoke up again.
"We've received confirmation from the government. The bird beastman that violated the border disappeared while heading in the direction of Anima City. There's a good chance that he's an Anti-Beastman rights terrorist.", the secretary said.
"Well, it seems Alan's words were more than just a threat after all.", Mayor Rose said before Alan gasped upon noticing Pingua and Nazuna from outside.
"What is she up to now? That idiot...", Shirou said to himself before All Might saw Nazuna and Pingua as well as Nazuna saw All Might as well.
"Doesn't she know what he's really here for?", All Might asked in thought.
"Oh, my gosh! Was that All Might?!", Nazuna exclaimed.
"It was. Alas, our pleasure flight has come to an end, my dear.", Pingua spoke before later, he dropped Pingua back off to the Coop.
"Here. Sorry it's in dollars, but this is for the roof repairs.", Pingua said, puzzling her,
"I'll be gone by tomorrow, which means... this is goodbye.", Pingua added.
"You're leaving?", Nazuna asked.
"I'm a a migratory bird.", Pingua explained.
"Oh. That's right.", Nazuna said before Pingua jumped off and then flew up in Albatross form.
"Bye, Mr. Pingua! Feel free to stop by if you ever come back!", Nazuna shouted as Pingua left.
Meanwhile, Pingua landed where Hawks was before they engaged in a conversation.
"All right, Hawks. I'm here.", Pingua sighed.
"You know, all you have to do is show me your credentials.", hawk explained.
"I know. But it gets tiring after a while.", Pingua said as he showed Hawks his credentials.
"It's all part of the process. But I understand that you have to be somewhere in a hurry.", Hawks grinned before he took off.

Later, Nazuna told her experinece.
"No way! That really happened, Nazuna?", Sichiru asked.
"Mm-hmm. But Hawks saved him after he was shot down one time.", Nazuna replied with a nod.
"Hawks? You mean the Hawks who's one of the top heroes of UA?!", Kazuma exclaimed.
"Yeah. That very one!", Nazuna responded.
"Wow! I never would've guessed...", Sichiru spoke with a grin as Ogame walked down the stairs.
"Where's the bird beastman?", Ogame asked.
"Oh. You mean Pingua? He kinda left already.", Nazuna explained, making Shirou growl.
"What's the problem?", Sichiru asked.
"Listen. He may be a terrorist.", Ogame responded.
"A Terrorist? But he said he's leaving the city tomorrow.", Nazuna said in shock.
"Then he's probably planning an attack tonight.", Shirou responded.
"But he'd never do something like that. He'd never hurt anyone.", Nazuna responded.
"He was even in the military.", Kazuma added.
"And he's friends with Hawks!", Sichiru shouted.
"How would you know? Because you took one little flight with him?", Shirou asked, making Nazuna gasp.
"How'd you know about that?", Nazuna asked.
"I was at City Hall earlier. I saw the two of you carelessly flying around.", Shirou responded.
"That was not careless at all! You don't even understand!", Nazuna shouted.
"How so?", Shirou asked.
"I never realized how unfair it actually is for Beastmen living with human rights.", Nazuna responded.
"This have to do with birds?", Shirou asked.
"Wait. You knew that?", Kazuma asked.
"Did you know that his friends had died during mid-flight after being shot down?", Sichiru asked.
"Which means that he has a motive.", Shirou responded.
"But that doesn't make any sense. Hawks saved him after Pingua was shot down. He even patched him up, too. Why do you see the negative in everything?", Nazuna asked.
"I heard there's an anti-beastman front terrorist hiding in the city. They say it's a bird beastman. Based on the timing, he's now a suspect. There is no time for us to discuss it.", Shirou responded.
"So, we just need to clear his name, right?", Nazuna guessed.
"If it can be cleared.", Shirou responded.
"What do you mean 'if'?", Sichiru asked.
"What about tracking him by his scent?", Nazuna asked.
"I don't think it'd be easy if he's in the air.", Kazuma responded.
"He has a point. Any scent trail gets diffused quickly.", Shirou responded.
"Is there another way?", Nazuna asked.
"Even without a way, I've got a hunch.", Shirou assured.
"What hunch is that?", Kazuma asked as he, Nazuna, and Sichiru caught up with him.
Meanwhile, Pingua was sitting in a table with someone when the two made a trade with Pingua trading an envelope for a backpack of sorts with his informant before he turned to the TV as it was showing the news.
"The Church of the Silver Wolf is seeking residency in Anima City. But Mayor Rose has denied it. She has prepared an alternative location outside the city and is negotiating with them. The mayor says the current infrastructure is too insufficient to take them in. She would like to eventually accommodate the church, but will relocate them for the time being.", the news reporter stated as Pingua looked back at the dog tags on his hand.
Play MHA Music: "All For One"
Meanwhile, Michiru and Boris were walking side-by-side with the former growing uneasy.
"Are you sure about this?", Michiru asked.
"I am. Everything is in alignment now.", Boris responded before it went to the top of the building with a man in a black helmet watching as well as a couple villains named Tomura and Techigawa.
Then, at the same bar, a beastman rushed out to the others.
"Hey. The church is making its move.", one of the beastmen exclaimed.
"How do you know? Are you sure?", another asked.
"Yeah. The Silver Wolf is leading the way.", the beastman responded.
"The Silver Wolf?", another asked as Pingua snuck out with the backpack.
Meanwhile, Michiru spoke up to the church members,
"We, the Church of the Silver Wolf, sought residency in Anima City. However, Mayor Rose has refused our request. Her concern for Sylvatsa Pharmaceutical is why. What she doesn't get is that we are not fanatics. We're simply a group who desire a paradise for Beastmen. Now, let us pray. Pray that all misunderstandings may be cleared.", Michiru said before she then made the church's symbol with her hands and then transformed into the "Silver Wolf" with a blue glow.
"Rejoice! The Silver Wolf protects all Beastmen! Her brilliance is wondrous and her devotion to our species will be a big enough peace!", Boris shouted.
Meanwhile, Mayor Rose hung up on their phone.
"The Church is here. They gathered at the hospital. It seems they knew of Chairman Alan's interference.", Mayor Rose said.
"I'm assuming it wasn't... God who told them.", the secretary responded.
"Unfortunately, there were many who witnessed him entering City Hall earlier. I want you to contact the police. We'll only watch over this for now. I will not permit violence.", Mayor Rose advised.
Outside, on top of the building, Shirou and the top heroes were waiting up top when they looked up and saw Pingua in front of the full moon.
"Looks like he's here.", Endeavor said.
"I'll handle this one.", Shirou said.
As for Pingua, he looked down toward his rendezvous point.
"All right. Let's begin.", Pingua said before he then descended downwards toward the building.
But what he didn't count on was Shirou jumping off the building and grabbing onto his leg. Pingua was much too surprised to fight back.
"Who are you?!", Pingua shouted before Shirou picked up the scent and noticed it was coming from a gun.
"I won't allow terrorism in my city!", Shirou shouted.
"I must ask you not to interfere.", Pingua responded before flying up above the building just barely past Nazuna, Kazuma, and Sichiru.
"Shirou!", the trio shouted before Pingua then scraped Ogame against the windows, breaking them.
"It looks like Ogame's hanging in there.", All Might said.
"Yeah. But the question is, how long could he hold out.", Eraser Head pondered.
"Oh, I really wish I could fly right now!", Nazuna exclaimed, flapping her wings.
"Don't take it personally.", Pingua said before scraping him up into the air and kicking him off.
"Ogame!", All Might shouted before Nazuna then stretched out her arms with one grabbing a pole.
"Nazuna, wait!", Sichiru shouted before Nazuna tried to reach for Shirou only to miss and gasp before breaking the pole and falling down herself.
"NAZUNA!", Shirou and Kazuma shouted.
"All Might. Do you think you and the others can keep up?", Hawks asked.
"Uh, yeah, but this is hardly the time to be asking that.", All Might responded.
"Hang on, Nazuna!", Hawks shouted before he then ran off the building with a jump and soared downward.
End MHA Music: "All For One"
"Just fly! Please!", Nazuna shouted, trying to reach for Shirou, not knowing that her arms were turning into wings, much to Hawks' surprise.
"No way...!", Hawks exclaimed before both he and Nazuna swooped upward with Nazuna now having pink wings for arms and eagle-like talons.
"Wait... You can fly?!", Shirou exclaimed in surprise.
"I've never done that before...!", Nazuna responded.
"Well, either way, it's still impressive. Think you can keep up? And I don't mean just with me.", Hawks asked.
"Leave it to me!", Nazuna responded before she, Shirou, and Hawks went after Pingua.
"Wait. I get it now... He wants us to tail him and corner Pingua if he tries to get away.", All Might realized.
"Or better yet, fry him if necessary. And if anyone's going to do it, that honor belongs to me.", Endeavor added.
"You better not.", Eraser Head responded.
"All the same, I think it's in everyone's best interest to apprehend him, not kill him.", Best Jeanist responded.
"Yep. You got that right. All right, everyone! Away we go!", All Might shouted as he leapt away.
"Always showing off as usual...", Endeavor sighed in frustration before taking off via flames while Eraser Head and Best Jeanist swung by and even made a safety net with ropes to bounce off.
Meanwhile, Nazuna, Shirou, and Hawks caught up to Pingua.
"Pingua!", Hawks shouted before Pingua turned to see the trio in the air.
"You can fly now. Is that even possible?", Pingua asked.
"This time around, you're mine!", Shirou exclaimed before Nazuna swung him toward Pingua, pinning him down on one of the rooftops, although Hawks made sure he's pinned down via his own wing feathers, before All Might and the Top heroes arrived and gathered in front of Pingua, especially Nazuna, Kazuma, and Sichiru.
"The Fox girl can really fly. Or could that have been a trick you're playing on me.", Pingua responded.
"Nazuna and the others said you were in the military. Isn't that right?", All Might asked.
"It's true. I was in a Beastman unit in my youth. I believed in human rights for beastmen and fought the Anti-beastmen front extremists. It never crossed my mind that it would result in a ban on migration.", Pingua responded.
"Hold up. You mean you were going to do this because you inadvertently started a ban on Migration in the first place?", Hawks puzzled.
"Ironic, isn't it...?", Pingua sighed.
"Okay, let's get one thing straight. Terrorism is never okay! And that's no sure way to help get rid of your guilt, either.", Hawks exclaimed.
"Were you even trying to kill Mayor Rose for revenge?", Sichiru asked.
"Kill her? No. Revenge is the last thing I ever wanted. She wasn't even the target.", Pingua responded.
"Don't lie to me! I heard that you plan on using a bomb to do the job! Am I wrong?! Are you or not?!", Kazuma exclaimed.
"Technically speaking, no. But the bomb was just a bluff, you see. The blast wouldn't have been lethal. That kind of threat is necessary to get my demands heard. I've got no faith in government officials.", Pingua explained.
"Well, I think I know a thing or two about losing faith in someone since I got turned into a beastman...", Kazuma sighed as he calmed down some, reminded of how he and the two others were subjected to cruelty, especially while on their way to Anima City before they met Marie before it went to the present with Pingua standing up.
"So, where do we go from here?", Pingua asked.
"All I want is to protect this city. Leave. At once.", Shirou responded, puzzling Pingua.
"You haven't done anything wrong yet.", Shirou responded before Pingua grinned and turned to Nazuna.
"Hey, kid. These belonged to my comrades who died in battle over conflicts of rights with humans. If this really is a city for beastmen, then it'd be best to have their graves dug here. Tell that to your mayor.", Pingua responded.
"I'll tell her for you. I promise.", Nazuna assured.
"So, we got the wrong suspect...", Endeavor sighed.
"Perhaps...", Eraser Head responded.
"Oh, and I'm not the only one who flew into this city. There was one more. There's only one guy who could fly at those speeds. He's known in the underworld. They call him 'Meteor'. He's an assassin who'll take any job if the money is right. So be careful.", Pingua said.
"Is his target the mayor?", Shirou asked.
"No. If she were, I would've picked up on it.", Pingua responded.
"Which means that... Alan Sylvasta is the target!", Hawks realized.
Speaking of Alan, he was walking up to the gates of the hospital.
"Chairman. Going out now would be dangerous.", the man next to Alan said in concern.
"Now, now. Hiding myself away like that would only worsen things.", Alan said in response.
However, little did he know that Meteor was perched high on the building.
"Now, the chaos begins.", All For One said before Meteor decided to swoop down and pick Alan up by the shoulders, much to everyone's shock as they gasped with Shirou and the others arriving to see this.
"Darn it, we're too late!", Eraser Head said in worry.
"Oh, no!", Nazuna said in worry.
"No, you don't! Not if I can help it!", All Might said before taking off into the air to go after him, but then, Nazuna's ears shook before she and the others noticed Michiru transforming and then dashing up just as All Might caught Alan as soon as he was dropped while Michiru flew up to help catch All Might as well.
Play MHA Music: "All Might"
"Now, now, Alan. There's no need to worry your little life about it any longer. Do you know why? Because I am here!", All Might bolstered proudly before laughing just as proudly, astonishing the beastmen and church members alike below.
"Behold! The winged Silver Wolf appeared alongside All Might, said to be the #1 Hero that hails from UA! Her indiscriminate grace rains down not only upon Beastmen, but humans as well! We are witnessing the power of Ms. Déesse Louve! She is the one who will bring salvation to the world of Beastmen!", Boris shouted before Meteor tried to go after him only for Pingua to stop him.
"Looks like you failed. Just give it up.", Pingua said before kicking Meteor away with Hawks then pinning him to the wall with his feathers.
"Thanks for the tip, Pingua.", Hawks grinned.
"Well, birds of a feather should always stick together.", Pingua responded.
"I would've killed him and gotten away with it, too, if it wasn't for you and that top hero!", Meteor growled.
"Ah, tell it to the judge.", Pingua responded.
"Hey, great job, man. You know, once we get the BERA active, we'll make sure you migratory rights are reinstated.", Hawks grinned.
"I'd like that very much, Hawks.", Pingua grinned before he flew off, leaving Hawks with the apprehended Meteor.
After that, Nazuna turned to see All Might and Michiru getting down with Michiru turning back to normal and grinning with a grin before everyone cheered.
"You, there! Hear the voices of the people! Can you really ignore those voices, Alan Sylvasta?", Boris asked.
"Well, I suppose you do have a point.", Alan grinned.
While Shirou wasn't quite pleased or dissatisfied, Nazuna looked toward Michiru and grinned softly while Kazuma and Sichiru glared daggers at Boris, snarling.
"Amazing... That's amazing, Michiru.", Nazuna grinned.
Meanwhile, the trio of villains voiced their own opinions.
"Well, that was... surprisingly impressive.", Techigawa said.
"I don't care how impressive that is. I just want to kill them all...!", Tomura growled annoyedly.
"Easy, Tomura You must have patience. Let them have their moment of glory... because it will all come crashing down soon enough.", All For One assured.
