Diego Brando was in a jet. The same one he crashed into that ship one time.
But he wasn't piloting it. Someone else was. He was sitting in one of the passenger seats.
"So we're not going to help out?" Someone said. It was a woman with black hair and little bit of pink hair sitting beside him.
She was Kaina A.K.A Lady Nagant. She was arrested and holed down in Tartarus with the rest of the villians.
Diego saw her file and found out that she killed people ordered by HPSC.
Seeing potential from her to help him, he got her out from Tartarus legally as he could.
"Why should we?" Diego asked.
Yes, they were in a jet, flying above France.
Diego wanted to visit London and see what it's like and no jet to fly there than the best one.
He also had to make sure Kaina isn't seen by Hawks.
"Aren't you a hero?" Kaina asked.
"I'm a man on a mission. Plus we don't know where Humarise is." Diego said.
Indeed, while the All Star World Heroes Association is trying to stop a terrorist attack, he's here on vacation.
"Plus, Humarise has a solution about these quirks." Diego said as he poured some coke.
"That being a genocide..." Kaina said with discomfort.
"Well, it's either that or making a little girl suffer in a lab." Diego said.
"What?" Kaina asked confused.
"There was a little girl who was a test subject for the Yakuza and they made quirk destroying bullets from her blood." Diego explained and drank the coke.
"Poor girl." Kaina said with sympathy.
"Humarise's plan has flaws too. Like what if the quirkless people have children with quirks? That's how it all started." Diego explained.
"So we're doomed either way?" Kaina asked.
"Yes, we are." Diego said putting down his glass.
Then Diego's phone rang and he picked it up to see a notification.
"It seems Humarise have revealed the location of the trigger bombs, 25 of them to give the heroes a chance. They need to find them within 2 hours." Diego informed.
"That's foolish." Kaina said.
"They probably have more." Diego said and puts down his phone.
It rang again. "What now?" Diego said picking it up.
"It seems they have located the Humarise HQ." Diego said.
"Who?" Kaina asked interested.
"Someone from the Endeavor Agency." Diego said and stood up.
"And it seems we're near the HQ." Diego walked to the Cockpit.
"You're going to do something?" Kaina asked.
"Yes, stop the genocide." Diego said and entered the cockpit.
Kaina was surprised. She thought that Diego was a selfish asshole who abuses his power.
'No...something is off.' Kaina was suspicious of Diego's mood change.
Diego exited the cockpit. "I told the pilot to fly over it." Diego said as he walked to the bathroom.
"What are you going to do?" Kaina asked.
"Jump down." Diego said and entered the bathroom.
'We have less than two hours to defuse the trigger bombs. Can he do it?' Kaina thought. She doesn't know what Diego is capable of.
Diego exited the bathroom in a different outfit. He wore one of DIO's recommended outfits.
It was what DIO wore in Phantom Blood.
"Wait for me in Carlisle. I'll be there." Diego said walking to the door.
"What made you change your mind?" Kaina asked.
"Just that someone else could beat me to it, not when I'm this close." Diego opened the door.
"Gudbai Kaina!" Diego said as he jumped off.
He was a few kilometers up in the air but he was descending very fast.
"This is nostalgic." Diego mused. He did this too in I-Island.
"A few seconds till impact..." Diego mused as the air hit his face and he was getting closer.
"7...6...5...4...3...2...1...THE WORLD!" Diego exclaimed and time stopped.
He slowly landed on the ground. "Time will resume." Diego said as time resumed.
He landed in the woods. "If I'm correct, the base is under that cliff." Diego muttered and walked through the woods.
Unlike DIO, he planned to be stealthy to infiltrate the Humarise.
He heard someone's footsteps and hid in the woods.
"Man...I thought I heard something fall..." He said. It was a guard from Hummarise.
'I didn't make that much noise, did I?' Diego thought.
"It was probably a boar. They are indigenous in these woods." Another one said from farther away.
'Hmm, that headwear is going to be useful' Diego thought.
"Probably" He said turning away from his partner and walking away.
'Now's my chance, THE WORLD!' Diego used his stand ability to stop time.
"1 second have passed" Diego said approaching the guard.
THE WORLD then phased his hand through the guard's chest and grabbed his heart.
"I should do this more often." Diego said as his stand crushed that man's heart.
"Just to be sure." Diego said as his stand broke the guard's neck by twisting it.
Diego picked the guard up and brought him in a more concealed place.
"Time will resume." Diego said as time resumed and the guard died.
"All units, regroup at the entrance" The walkie talkie on the dead guard ordered him.
"Now time to do something I've learned from videogames" Diego smirked.
5 minutes later...
Most of the members of the Humarise were gathered at the entrance.
"Our great leader Flect Turn, has ordered us to defend the entrance with our lives!" One of the superiors shouted.
"We will die defending the believers of the pure humans!" The Serpenter Twins said at the same time.
"For Humanity's salvation!" All the Hummarise members shouted their motto, showing their devotion.
Among those members, were Diego Brando. He disguised himself as one of them.
'Not only are they terrorists but they're cultists as well?' Diego couldn't understand their fanaticism.
"The Heroes may come here to take us in but we'll never give in!" He exclaimed.
"We'll never give in!" All of the members exclaimed.
'Oh god, I'm already here.' Diego thought.
"You all!" He said pointing at the guards behind Diego.
"You all will defend the entrance with them!" He said pointing at the Serpenter Twins.
"You all!" He said pointing at the guards Diego grouped with.
"You all will defend the entrance with me!" He said.
"What's his name?" Diego whispered to the guard beside him.
"It's Leviathan." He informed.
"Let's go! For Humanity's salvation!" Leviathan shouted
"For Humanity's salvation!" They shouted and disassembled and rushed to their respective posts.
Diego moved along with them before splitting up.
In humans, there is something called observer bias.' Diego said walking to the area where Flect Turn is.
Many guards walk past him with their weapons ready but they aren't suspicious of him.
'People see what they want to see instead of what their seeing. Kind of like what Frodo, Sam and Agent 47 did in Lord of the Rings to walk into Mordor.' Diego thought as he reached the door to the main area.
He opened the door to see Flect Turn facing the pedestal. They were in an open area abd there were books everywhere.
Flect heard the door opening sound and turned around to see no one and the door was closed.
"Perhaps it was my imagination." Flect said suspicious.
Unknown to him, while he was looking at the door, Diego was behind the pedestal.
'My turrets aren't picking anything up either.' Flect thought about the possibility of an invisible intruder.
'Actually why don't I just...' Diego thought and leaped from the pedestal to land on Flect.
"!" Flect heard that and whipped his head around to see one of guards moving towards him in the air.
Kmowing his own quirk, Flect stayed still assuming the attack will be reflected if that guard dared to attack.
"THE WORLD!" Diego stopped time and safely landed.
"Not that the leap was going to injure me or anything." Diego mused as his stand got ready to punch.
"Muda!" THE WORLD punched Flect through the chest like King Crimson punched Abbachio.
There was a gaping hole in Flect's chest. "You don't even realize the damage that's been done to you." Diego said.
"Time will resume." Diego said as time resumed.
For half a second, Flect stayed still before registering the lack of spine.
"AAGHHK" Flect cried out as fell down.
'H-how?! My quirk reflects everything!' Flect thought. He couldn't even breathe.
The turrets weren't engaging at Diego either since he's disguised.
"Was it Sauron or Saruman?" Diego had his thoughts back about Lord of the Rings.
"Ah well," Diego said kneeling down and taking a key from the corpse and the turret remote.
Diego turned the laser turrets off with the remote.
Flect's corpse was left on the floor, bloodied. Diego noticed the staircase under the pedestal above.
Diego walked to the staircase leading below and started walking downstairs.
He got his phone out and called La Brava.
"Hey, so these EMP grenades you got me..." Diego said walking down the stairs.
'in case I need to rid this place of power.' Diego thought.
"Those aren't grenades! They don't explode.' La Brava said.
"How do I use them?" Diego asked.
"Which one? The blue ones or the red one?" La Brava asked as Diego pulled one out from his pockets.
"Blue." Diego said.
"The blue ones? Well unlike they red ones, they can only turn off the device they're attached to. It could be a laptop to a airplane." La Brava informed.
"Hm. Thank you." Diego said as La Brava remembered something.
"Wait, you're not planning to turn an airplane-" Before she could finish, Diego hung up.
He had reached the bottom floor. It looked as he expected. kind of
"A computer attached to some huge contraption." Diego mused and approached the Computer.
Indeed there was a huge rectangular glowing contraption with a computer attached to it.
'Or that's just the computer' Diego thought.
He found the keyhole the key's supposed to be in. He put the key in.
"Wait, which way am I supposed to flip this key?" Diego said as he remembered that this is a key to time bombs.
"Usually, keys move clockwise to lock and counterclockwise to unlock..." Diego muttered. He's worried that moving it in the wrong direction could detonate them.
He got his phone out again and checked the time. He still had an hour and a half left.
He called La Brava. "Why are you calling me again!?" La Brava exclaimed furiously.
"I'm sure you have heard the announcement made by Humarise, haven't you?" Diego asked.
"Yeah, what about it?" La Brava asked.
"Well, I'm in their headquarters and infront of their big computer that's linked to all the trigger bombs." Diego said.
"You want me to guide you? Send me a photo." La Brava assumed.
"No, nothing like that. I'm sure you've seen in movies where they use keys to fire missiles." Diego said.
"I have seen a lot of it." La Brava said.
"Well, there's a keyhole on this thing and I have a key that fits." Diego explained.
"What's the problem then?" La Brava asked.
"Which way am I supposed to move this key?" Diego asked.
"Counterclockwise." La Brava answered as if it's the most obvious thing.
"Are you sure this won't release an explosion?" Diego asked putting his hand on the key.
"Flect most likely put in the time and then started the countdown and locked it." La Brava reasoned as Diego flipped it counterclockwise.
As Diego did that, the countdown stopped.
"It is as you said, the countdown is paused." Diego said.
'Well, I could pause it for a few seconds anyway.' Diego thought.
"Rather than keeping it paused, increase the time of the countdown" La Brava instructed.
"How do I do that?" Diego asked. He hates that most technology is beyond is understanding.
"With the mouse and keyboard." La Brava said.
"The mouse isn't here. I can only see the keyboard." Diego said.
"There's no mouse? Can you navigate using the keyboard?" La Brava asked.
'I can use the keyboard but using it as a mouse?!' Diego thought infuriated.
"No." Diego answered.
"You need to use the arrow keys." La Brava instructed.
"The what keys?" Diego asked confused. Keys with arrows?
"The buttons on the keyboard are called keys. That's why it's called a keyboard. Now, do you see the four buttons with arrows?" La Brava said.
"Okay..." Diego tried to click them to navigate.
When he pressed the up arrow, something was indicated. Then he pressed the down arrow and something below it was indicated.
"I'm getting the hang of this." Diego said clicking them.
"Select the countdown clock." La Brava instructed as Diego selected the hours on that clock.
"I selected the hours by the look of it..." Diego said.
"Now type 69 and press enter." La Brava said as Diego did so.
'Did I hear a snicker?' Diego wondered. He thought he heard La Brava snicker from the phone when she finished.
"Done." Diego said.
"Now turn the key clockwise and lock it in then bring it out." La Brava instructed.
Diego moved the key clockwise and pulled it out.
"69:26:46" was the remaining time.
Then Diego remembered something. "Wait, how do you know that the heroes know about this HQ?" Diego asked.
"I have my ways" La Brava said as Diego started walking up the stairs.
"So what was that snicker I heard?" Diego asked.
"What snicker?" La Brava asked.
"I'm not dumb. I heard it." Diego said.
"The number 69 is a joke among us. I doubt you would understand it." La Brava said.
"Yare yare daze." Diego said walking upstairs.
He puts down his phone and sighed. "I need a PhD in Computer Science." Diego muttered.
He reached the area where Flect's corpse was. "He's still here." Diego said.
"For a devoted cult, they don't care about their boss." Diego approached the corpse and placed the remote for the turrets on it.
"You can have this back as well." Diego said as he put the key back on the corpse.
"Good thing I wore gloves." Diego said and exited through the door.
An hour later...
Someone bust through the doors in a green suit. It was Izuku.
His friends were holding against the remaining guards while he continued.
Izuku was shocked to see a corpse lying down on the floor with a gaping hole.
"Are you okay?!" Izuku hurriedly ran to him and turned him over to see that it's Flect Turn.
"Flect turn!?" Izuku exclaimed in shock. The leader was dead on the floor?!
"Did they betray him?" Izuku wondered but then he remembered that he's in a race against time.
Izuku quickly ran down the stakrs to find the rectangular computer.
He looked at the screen to see..."69 hours left? What?" Izuku was confused.
"I thought it was two hours." Izuku muttered approaching the computer and put the key in.
"Wait, which way do I turn it?" Izuku said as he realized that he didn't know that.
"I'll turn it this way..." Izuku said as he turned the key counterclockwise and the countdown stopped.
"Phew." Izuku said relieved.
The next day...
"We want your testimony, Young Midoriya." All Might said.
Most the the influential heroes that were part of the operation to bring down Humarise, we're gathered at Paris.
They were inside a building, discussing Flect and another unnamed individual's death along with the countdown. Izuku is about to give his testimony.
"So I leave Todoroki to deal with the rest of them while I go in further. Then I reach the open library where I found his corpse. He was lying there in his...own blood with a gaping hole in his chest." Izuku explained with discomfort.
"Was he betrayed?" Salaam, the number one hero of Egypt thought.
"Or was he suicidal?" Ryukyu speculated.
"I highly doubt his quirk was to make holes." Fatgum said.
"Guys...let Deku continue." Hawks said.
"Sorry!" Fatgum said.
"So I run down the stairs to see the big computer with 69 hours left. I was surprised but then I put the key in and stopped the countdown." Deku said as a snicker could be heard.
"So what I think likely happened was someone broke in, killed him and changed the countdown number for some reason." Hawks speculated.
"Why was one of them dead outside the HQ in the middle of the woods?" Endeavour questioned.
"This intruder of their is very dangerous to be able to intrude without them noticing. Maybe that guard noticed him and got killed." Kamui Woods speculated.
"Who do you think it was, Deku?" Edgeshot asked Izuku.
Izuku had one suspect in mind.
Meanwhile...
"So I disguised my self as one of them and snuck into their base like Agent 47 snuck into Mordor." Diego explained sitting on a couch.
"Agent 47 isn't from Lord of the Rings!" La Brava exclaimed. She sitting on another couch.
"Who was the other bald guy?" Diego asked.
"Gollum. Though I wonder if Agent 47 could kill Sauron?" Kaina said sitting on another couch.
"Did you leave the corpse there?" La Brava asked.
"I put his clothes back on again...now Agent 47 can kill Sauron no doubt." Diego said.
Alright guys, thats it for this chapter. Sorry for any spelling mistakes and please leave your reviews.
Could Agent 47 inflitrate Mordor and kill Sauron?
