A/n: Heya my lovely readers to another chapter of Mineta the Mayhem. Hope you have been enjoying the tale this far, appreciate all the feedback and likes, I thank you all. Rumors are circulating as an unknown ally of All for One lies in wait within Hydra Prison, another holding location for some of the city's notorious criminals. Will class 1A be able to handle one of Hydras inmates on the run, and what role will our Mineta have to play during this mission! Time to find out!
--Mineta's Room: Morning After--
Mineta couldn't help but yawn deeply as he awoke. Yesterday between Monika, the spar with Kirishima and what happened with Mina, the recovering sex fiend was exhausted. His wounds have finally cleared up, as Recovery Girl's quirk was still on point, efficiently aiding his recovery enough for him to sleep in his dorm room without hampering his . His muscles didn't feel sore anymore and his scalp was no longer bleeding.
The purple half pint looked at himself in the mirror, scrubbing the dust out of his eyes and taking a gander at himself to see how much his body recovered. He grinned, snapping his fingers in a cool guy pose as he psyched himself for the day.
"All right! Mineta Minoru is back in action!"
He winked at himself, doing so caused his spheres to twitch in an almost giddy fashion. Ever since yesterday with his control over his spheres being upgraded, his mental state appears to have made them more expressive. It was a subtle behavior, albeit a weird one.
"No time like the present, a hero can't be late to save the day!" Mineta said to himself as he whipped out his costume.
The grape sized boy had begun strapping himself for the duties that he and the rest of his classmates will undergo for the day. He wasn't informed of all the details since he was at the nurse wing , but based on what he's heard thus far, he and the others will provide backup to a few pros.
Whatever this is, it sounded serious enough for even the police force to be involved. As far as Mineta was concerned, this was a job for a real hero. He would not mess this up. On the plus side, it would allow him to put his newfound quirk boost to the test.
Mineta opened the door in a hurry about to head full sprint for the class meeting. Upon opening the door Mineta found himself in full view of an unexpected visitor.
It was Momo.
His feet screeched against the floor as Mineta made an immediate stop. He wasn't expecting to see her at his dorm room door. His blush returned full force as the object of his affections stood in front of him.
Momo seemed in good spirits today, probably as a result of sparring and getting a good night's sleep. She bore a red tinge on her face.
"Momo!" Mineta could only let out one word as he almost ran right into her.
"Oh, hey Mineta! Morning. I came over to see how you were feeling after the spar yesterday. How are you feeling?" Momo asked. As class representative, she was probably just doing her job as expected. She brushed her hair behind her ears as she spoke.
Mineta's eyes almost wandered to her breasts before he centered himself.
'Not this time Mineta! Not this time!'' Mineta thought to himself.
"I'm doing fine. In fact, better than fine, Recovery Girl still got it!" Mineta raised a thumbs up, a wide grin on his face, pronouncing his cheeks.
Momo smiled at Mineta's high spirits. "That's good. I also wanted to apologize for not visiting the nursery yesterday, I had to go visit the detention hall."
Mineta was confused. "The detention hall? What for?"
Momo sweatdropped. "Mina was caught for truancy. I had to pretty much put in a good word for her so that she would avoid further punishment from the prefect assigned to her."
Mineta's eyes widened. 'Mina! Don't tell me that we were caught!'
"She was acting kind of strange when I asked her what she was doing in the halls. In fact she couldn't really look me in the eye when I told her she was caught near the nursery. Did something happen Mineta? Did you see anything weird happening?" Momo asked.
Mineta was sweating under his mask. He didn't want to lie to Momo but he couldn't just tell her about his little escapade with the exotic pinkette. How would that make Momo feel? Plus he was just trying to move on, he didn't want to bury himself anymore than he may have already.
"Uh…well…"
"Hey you two! It's time for class, hurry before you're late! Truancy will not be tolerated!" A voice could be heard behind the two, it was Iida who was quickly dashing from dorm room to dorm room, opening each door to let each of class 1A know that it was time to head out. A groan could be heard from Denki's room as he was tired. Kirishima could be seen throwing a pillow at Iida who caught him with his pants down.
"Hey Iida, next time knock will ya, nearly caught me stiff!"
Sero could be caught walking down the hallway with Tokoyami, just talking about minor things before hearing Kirishima.
Sero cringed a bit. Tokoyami averted his eyes, tightly shutting them. "Kirishima mind covering yourself. I know that hardening's your thing but I don't wanna see that kind of hardening!"
Kirishima was butt naked in his rant, looking downward at himself before gasping, immediately running into his dorm room slamming his door.
Momo and Mineta saw the ordeal and looked at each other before laughing a bit. Just another day at the academy.
"Ready to head out Mineta?" Momo asked
Mineta nodded.
Momo tried to walk but Mineta's dorm room door got in her way causing the raven haired girl to bump against it as her eyesight was focused more on the short statured hero in front of her.
"Oh uh sorry!" Momo said, trying to maintain composure but clearly failing to do so.
"No, no it's fine let me get that for you." Mineta said as he held the door open for her.
"You go first." Momo asked. She held the door for Mineta.
"Ladies first!" Mineta immediately responded with a blush on his face. Their hands touched on the door knob both focusing at the point of contact. Momo felt Mineta's fingers almost interlaced with hers before she gave his hand a squeeze instinctually.
"T-thanks!" Momo blushed as she looked at Mineta with a blush and a slightly widening almost giddy smile on her face. Her hands were behind her back as she walked trying to not be anymore clumsy than she has been.
She stopped and looked back at Mineta in an almost pleading way. Mineta caught on that she wanted him to walk with her, the duo both bearing hardly hidden gleeful smiles on their faces as they matched their pace. Their bodies brushed against each other several times during their walk.
--Class 1A Homeroom--
Class 1A stood at the ready, attentive as they were in front of Aizawa, currently taking attendance.
"Okay that's about everyone. Now listen up. Today we're not doing drills like we normally do, this time you're gonna be in the field."
Deku couldn't help but audibly gulp, as within the last few months every field related mission has been…hectic to say the least.
"You will be working with pros on this one, aiding in the recapture of an inmate from Hydra Prison."
The class muttered amongst themselves. Some knew of it, others didn't.
"Settle down and let me finish. The prisoner in question is one Kuro Harukaze."
The lights of the homeroom shut off, a projector screen turned on courtesy of a remote in Aizawa's hand.
The image depicted was a man bearing a look of a man in his thirties. He had a shaved head and a prominent furrowed brow. He bore a thick goatee. Being that it was a mugshot, the man did not seem flattering nor photogenic. At the time of the photo, the man had bruises around his face, showing signs that he may have resisted arrest.
"He has escaped Hydra Prison and is now on the run. Authorities need our help to bring him in. You'll provide assistance to the pros assigned to each of you, as you'll be working in teams." Aizawa notified the class.
Mineta felt his pulse rate increase, as would be expected for a youth fully immersing themselves into a professional field and not possessing much experience. His heart hammered against his chest from both anticipation as well as performance anxiety.
"The teams have been set up as the following." Aizawa read the teams.
A/n: Que flashy team transitions!
" Team 1: Deku, Tokoyami, Satou, Shouji, Uraraka, Mina.
Team 2: Momo, Bakugou, Denki, Kyouka, Serou, Ojire.
Team 3: Todoroki, Kirishima, Tsuyu, Kouda, Aoyama, Tooru."
All the students called remained at attention as they gathered into their respective teams.
"All of you are chosen to balance out in combat efficiency. Close range, long range, reconnaissance, stealth, and the works. As for the pros who you will be working under, due to such short notice, we've enlisted the aid of The Lurkers, so when they get here we'll head out."
Mineta was busy counting with his hands.
"Uh, hey Mr. Aizawa there's twenty students but only 18 have been put into teams. What about me and Iida?" Mineta asked.
"You were put in the nursery after the spar yesterday, which means you are not yet in tip top shape. Plus there's also the fact that your quirk in particular is needed for the recapture side of the job. The other teams are mainly for combat and crowd control. For now you will be under myself and Midnight. Iida, you'll be serving as Mineta's aid in case his wounds act up so you could quickly leave and come back for further duties."
Iida nodded. "Yes. I will be sure to uphold my duties as class representative and hero. You can leave it to me!" He said with his usual dutiful enthusiasm.
Mineta gulped, feeling a bit of pressure from whatever it is that was required from him. He hoped his recent skillset would be useful here, but against an escaped convict, the boy was not yet sure.
"Hey Mineta! Alone time with Midnight huh? Good luck! We'll be rooting for ya!" Kirishima called Mineta jokingly as he already knew of Mineta's fandom of the pro hero in question.
Mineta thought back to his fight with Midnight, causing him to squirm at her masochistic tendencies. He still couldn't get the image of Sero getting a lap pillow from her out of his mind either.
He looked towards Momo who walked to his side.
"Ignore him Mineta! Just do your best! *blushes* I'll be rooting for you too, okay!" Momo said with a bit of red on her face.
Mineta and Momo's eyes met, pupils shaking, both from nervousness and also calling out for another.
'I can't take it anymore!'
Mineta ended up jumping and hugging her without restraint, happy for the praise and much needed encouragement from the creator. Momo was red in the face but hugged back, she was currently smiling.
"Thank you! I promise I'll go beyond!" Mineta said in her ear.
Momo whispered back. "Plus Ultra. I know you will."
Aizawa and other students were already heading outside during the team setup to await the Lurkers. However Denki did catch what his friend and the beautiful class rep were doing on their own. At first he thought Mineta was looking to cop a feel, but seeing Momo holding his friend so intimately and smiling made him think differently.
His eyes widened like dinner plates.
"Mineta…what the hell?" Denki whispered to himself his face bore an overreacted expression, like a close up from a graphic novel. His words were within a comic bubble, bold and red.
He almost wanted to tell everyone but he shut his yap. He was Mineta's buddy after all and had his back, even to the point that when Bakugou tried to get inside the classroom, Denki tased him to unconsciousness. It was also partially for payback for the spar yesterday, when Bakugou bombed him while mentally incapacitated by his quirk.
--U.A Academy: Entrance--
"Hey guys! Long time no see!" A voice loudly called out to the class 1A who were waiting patiently. It was The Lurkers. Specifically it was the Hero group consisting of Kamui Woods, Mountain Lady, and Edgeshot. Mountain Lady, being the more vocal and enthusiastic of the group, was currently the one speaking for them as the other two were more silent or reserved individuals.
Mineta sweatdropped as Mountain Lady spoke loudly, memories of his internship with Mountain Lady was extremely prominent, where he was practically a slave for the beautiful giantess.
'That witch! I still have ptsd from just working for her!' Mineta fidgeted.
"Oh hey Mineta! How's my lovely little intern doing!" Mountain Lady said as she grinned in his direction, almost like her torment of the Pop Off user never happened.
'That demon! She doesn't even remember what happened!' Mineta thought to himself.
"Uh…fine…I guess!" Mineta responded.
"Oh c'mon don't be like that! After being my intern I'm sure you've grown up quite well as a hero am I right?" Mountain Lady said, prideful despite her lack of really training Mineta except in how to carry a mop.
Mineta deadpanned at her statement. He didn't recall actually doing anything of worth other than what he already knew from the school curriculum. That smile of hers though, he knows what truly lies beyond that pretty face, a beast of opportunity and manipulation.
During their whole one sided conversation, Midnight stepped up as she was meant to collect Mineta as per their squad arrangement. A task force had already arrived and would drive the students to their destination via a group of patrol cars.
"Oh Mineta! It's time to head out! I hope you'll enjoy the ride!" Midnight said in an overly flirtatious tone as she called for the purple cladded trainee. The way she spoke made her whole statement sound sexual in nature. Behind her, Aizawa and Iida awaited.
Hearing the voice brought clarity to Mineta, as despite trying to become better he still had to admit, he was a long time fan of Midnight and still adored her body and reputation.
Mountain Lady bore an irritated face at Midnight's appearance, also at Mineta's seemingly pleasured expression the moment Midnight's voice was heard.
'Seriously, he would rather be near the old hag rather than my presence! Some people have no taste!'
Midnight and Mountain Lady faced one another. A still silence emanated through the air. From an outside perspective you could already see electricity clash between their gazes, despite faux smiles plastered on their faces
Midnight, ever the calm sensual being that she was, started the conversation in a knowing fashion. "I see you're still in good health, Mountain Lady. All things considered, I haven't heard much from you lately."
Mountain Lady put on a faux joyous greeting. Midnight had taken a shot at her rank as a hero. "It's so great to see you Midnight. I see you still have a craving for attention hmmm. Found anyone yet, the clock is ticking as they say-"
Midnight got pissed her face bearing fangs.
"You got some nerve rookie!" Midnight went into Mt. Lady's face, the giantess clashing back with her own hostility.
"I didn't know they let old ladies out the retirement home!"
Mineta was watching the fight. He couldn't help but admire the curvature of the two clashing beauties. The other members of the Lurkers shook their head in disappointment, knowing of the rivalry between the two female heroes from the news broadcast they shared a few months past.
"Still looking to grow your fan base little girl! Play with some dolls while your at it!" Midnight challenged.
"At least I can go out without needing a cane you old crone!" Mountain Lady roared back.
"Guys…" Mineta spoke as he was starting to get the same emotional stimulus from their arguing from before. He was growing too excited.
"You may be younger but I can see what you grow in size you lose in brain cells considering how obnoxious you are!" Midnight insulted.
"And you sound desperate! That's why you became a teacher so you could still pretend your in high school? Lord knows you haven't gotten any since the stone age!" Mountain Lady insulted.
The rest of the Lurkers and the class simply watched the exchange with sweatdrops emanating from their foreheads. This was a genuine catfight in the making.
Mineta couldn't help but notice that Midnight had revealed her whip as Mountain Lady was arching her spine, a subtle movement she would do right before she would grow and start with a stomp relying on her left leg. After seeing the two ladies more times than he could count, Mineta knew their battle styles and patterns too well to know that they were currently ready for a brawl. They were both hot-headed and needed to cool down a bit.
*POP* *SPLASH*
*POP* *SPLASH*
The two pro heroines looked in shock at the loud sound. In front of them they noticed that their mouths which were rapidly barking out insults were now shut, muffled by what can be described as slime.
Grape flavored slime.
"Um…"
The two women looked towards the source of the voice.
There Mineta stood nervously playing with his hands as his slime came from his direction. He had two spheres outstretched, a rope of slime emanated from each one connecting their mouths to his spheres.
He felt nervous at their stares, feeling the spotlight on him.
"We…don't we have a job to do…The more time we wait, the more the prisoner gets away. Let's get to it!" Mineta improvised as he really didn't know what to say. He had just interfered between Midnight and Mountain Lady.
Truth was, though he did like the idea of two women fighting like a girls mud wrestling match, right now simply wasn't the time for this. A prisoner is out in the city doing God knows what. Mineta would admire this more if they were on break, but as a bettering hero, Mineta remembers the "hero" aspect of that title.
Kamui Woods said to himself. "Finally someone knows how to shut her up." Edgeshot nodded.
Aizawa sighed. "I hope things aren't this hectic for the rest of the mission."
--Task Force Patrol Truck: Interior--
The class was divided by teams within four patrol cars. The cars themselves were armored trucks as they were used to normally dealing with criminals with quirks, hence the need for such heavy but durable vehicles.
The vehicles were currently in single file position, alerting civilians.
Aizawa, Midnight, Iida and Mineta sat in the last truck behind the others as their role was specifically for recapture, not for combat.
Aizawa spoke through a small communication radio on his left ear, just as all other students were currently wearing similar gear to hear orders and to orchestrate their plan of handling the situation.
"Alright guys, keep your heads together and the job will go smoothly. The police have last located Kuro Harukaze downtown and have established a perimeter. Won't be long before he sticks his neck out and we'll be there to intercept him. I want no heroics…well…other than what we normally do."
The armored trucks separated as they needed to cover more ground. The first three separated in three different lanes of the urban city, a maze of skyscrapers filling their view.
"Be sure to stay in your team. Kamui Woods will lead team 1. Mountain Lady will handle team 2 and Edgeshot, team 3. If one of you spot him, you call for us immediately, got it?" Aizawa explained.
He got a response from the intercom.
"Whatever! Just let me kick his ass!"
Bakugou was in good spirits it seems.
Aizawa turned to Iida whose attention was divided by Midnight who in her recollection of Mountain Lady, had accidentally sprayed Iida with her sleep gas causing the speedster to fall asleep. She was currently opening the window to let the gas out as she panicked. The homeroom teacher sweatdropped then looked at Mineta who seemed distracted.
"Thinking about a girl again, Minoru?" The teacher asked.
Mineta shook his head in the negative.
"Actually…no. Well a little, but I was just curious about something else." Mineta said.
Aizawa raised an eyebrow. "Oh? And what would that be?"
Mineta gulped. "It's this whole operation. I…I can't help but feel this is not your usual prison escapee, is it?"
"What makes you say that?"
"The fact that you haven't once mentioned Harukaze's quirk. With all of us here to get him, I can't help but think his quirk would be the first thing we would know. And…there is also the fact…you know who."
Aizawa's eyes opened a bit wider. Mineta was referring to All for One. He sighed.
"I sometimes forget that you're one of the smartest in your class. Truth is Harukaze hasn't used his quirk since his incarceration 17 years ago." Aizawa explained.
Mineta was shocked. "He hasn't used his quirk in that long? Why not?"
Aizawa looked in thought. "Harukaze was a notorious bank robber. At the time he was one of the best safecrackers, before All Might took him on. He was trialed for murder during one of his heists, leading him straight to Hydra Prison."
Mineta was shocked. A bankrobber turned murderer. Sounds like the years of successful bank heists went to his head.
"As for his quirk…I don't know for sure. All I know is that on record his quirk was known as Black Wind. That's part of the reason for the big task force. In fact, the only one who would have known about it was his older brother."
Mineta had to ask. "Then why not ask his brother?"
Aizawa's eyes darkened.
"The last person who actually saw his quirk was the same person who was killed by it." Aizawa said ominously, leaving no room for further discussion.
Mineta seemed shook.
"That is why we're gonna need your quirk on this one. My eyes can stop his quirk, Midnight can put him to sleep, you could keep him tied up, and Iida could transport him very quickly if vehicles aren't available." Aizawa then leaned back lazily.
"By the way Mineta, don't think I haven't noticed your quirk. Something going on?" Aizawa asked Mineta.
Mineta thought for a bit. "Yeah. Recently my quirks been acting up."
"Any problems with controlling it?" The professor asked.
"No! I'm perfectly able! I promise I won't mess up!" Mineta said with determination.
Aizawa shut his eyes. "Good! Wake me up when we get there."
The car came to a screeching halt. Mineta almost banged his head against the wall of the truck.
*POP* *BOING*
Mineta had shut his eyes tight at the near hard impact he made with the side of the car.
The thing was, when he opened his eyes, he realized something.
He was on an airbag like cushion. It was velvety in surface texture and had a noticeably familiar sheen. It was a sphere. It was big though.
The stickiness was still there however, as it was so big it held Aizawa against his side of the wall as well.
"Mineta…are you sure you have control?"
Mineta sweatdropped. "I…I think so…."
Aizawa after being removed courtesy of Mineta's mental command of his sphere, went outside to check what made the car stop.
As he opened the back door and made his way to the front where two officers looked ahead of them, the sight alone made Aizawa stop in place. His face bore a look of shock.
Midnight came out the car.
"Hey Aizawa what's with the hold…up. Oh my god…"
The radio intercom beeped.
"What the hell took you so long! We have been calling you for hours!" A lone voice could be heard, it sounded like an officer, but not one from the task force that guided the heroes here.
"We found him. We found Harukaze! And where were you!?" The voice sounded accusatory.
Mineta came out of the car, shocked at the insane sight before him.
Afar, the other teams seemed confused as they were in other parts of the city, where they were currently getting people away from the site of Harukaze's location. Deku could be seen grasping his radio hearing the strained voice in bewilderment.
In front of the shocked heroes currently laid an entire street's worth of bodies.
"Where the fuck were you!?"
CHAPTER END
