[UA: Gym Beta]
Illusions abound…
Those that made it out of Endeavor Agency gathered at the temporary base of operations at UA. Vulture's attack was swift and precise, he attacked Endeavor Agency first. Miles was at his home in Musutafu when several members of Shie Hassaikai in VFG (Vulture Flight Gear) armor overran it. Kido and Onima fought valiantly but the yazuka had Adrian Toomes leading them. They were not prepared by the Force Recon tactics he implemented on them, only barely getting out alive. Spider-Man clenched his fist as those under his command limp in, Kido and Onima were leaning on each other. "How bad?" Spider-Man asked.
His commanders look at each other then Onima speaks, "Hostages, the one called Vulture was leading them."
"His tactics were militaristic, but none I have ever seen before, we lost three of our men," Kido reports bowing his head, Spider-Man's hands sparked enraged. Blackie Drago, his version of Vulture, was a former S.H.I.E.L.D agent, however, this Vulture was not him. From the video, he saw that the man was younger and the flight gear more rugged than streamline.
His A. I brought up Prodigy's findings, "Earth-19999." Spider-Man says to himself to the confusion of Kido and Onima.
Onima and Kido looked at each other then Kido swallows hard and asks, "Umm boss, is that where you are from?"
"No, I am from Earth-1610," Miles then shoots a look at them their eyes wide at his response.
"I KNEW IT!" Kido exclaims, Spider-Man charges covering his commander's mouth but he pries it off. "Boss it's alright, it changes nothing." Spider-Man sighs he knew he would have to come clean about his origins sooner or rather than later. "So the multiverse theory is a fact!" Spider-Man nods his head 'yes', he was hoping for later, like later, when he was retired with Burnin' by his side. "Who else knows!"
This was something Miles did not want to deal with right now, "Endeavor, Muriko, Burnin' and my kids."
"Your kids!" They exclaim, "You got Moe pregnant that fast?"
Spider-Man looks to the ceiling then facepalms, "No, I mean Prodigy and Mei, I consider them my children." Kido and Onima then calmed down, "Right now my origins are not important, this Vulture is an unknown to me." Spider-Man then took a breath as a sudden realization hit him. "Goblin… He did it, he found a way home."
"Boss, you don't mean." Onima mouth went dry.
Spider-Man then looked at his commanders and shook his head, "No, I live here now, but we need to find where that monster is hiding." Suddenly the love of Miles' life walk into where they were.
"That's gonna prove difficult," Burnin' passed Spider-Man a dossier, he opened it seeing pictures of Goblin appearing in Tokyo. "He took Kurogri's quirk at USJ and now we have no one on the inside." Burnin' placed her hand on his shoulder, "We need to capture Vulture like yesterday."
"Ideas?" Spider-Man nodded at his second-in-command then at his other two commanders.
"Well, in the air they have the advantage," Kido mused as Onima and Burnin' looked at him, then it clicks. "So let's hit them from below."
"How so?" Spider-Man narrows one lens while widening another showing curiosity.
Kido then explains that below Endeavor Agency were emergency tunnels. "Yeah they may have discovered them but its still a closed area, its a tunnel and well you are a spider," The web crawler scoffs in amusement as Kido crosses his arms pleased with his reference.
"Get me those blueprints Kido," Spider-Man then sends him off as he salutes then heads to a computer terminal within the gym. He then looks at Onima and Burnin', "Who's functional and who do we got?" His Spider-Sense goes off, danger, no, he looks up and to the left as the skylight shatters. "Burnin, Onima GO!" Spider-Man fires off a web launching himself to the body falling through it! Onima gets both hero and civilians out of the way as Burnin' expands her flaming hair wide as she vaporizes the falling safety glass. Spider-Man catches the body, to his horror it's Muriko, and she is missing an arm!
Without a second thought, Spider-Man rushes her to Recovery Girl! The elderly hero's eyes widen as she sees Muriko's condition, "Good heavens!" She then looks at her stub she used her own hair to tie off the wound. "Smart girl," She then tends the wound, sterilized she uses her quirk to close it off removing the hair. Muriko is now unconscious on a cot that Spider-Man placed her on. Clenching his fists Spider-Man's rage is boiling as the gym doors open to a distressed Dr. Downing.
"Muriko!" He calls out getting Spider-Man's attention, "Muriko!"
"Dr. Downing over here!" Spider-Man calls out to him, Dr. Downing spots him as he flashes up, another flash and he moves forward, with one last flash he is in front of Spider-Man. His movements seem instant like a laser following a path to him. "Recovery Girl closed off the wound, Dr. Downing, look at me," Spider-Man had to get him to focus, "Jacob!" Dr. Downing looks at him finally as he sees his quirk sparking around him. "Focus, you want to make this right, info, now!"
"It's a fucking civil war in Tokyo." Spider-Man eyes widen then narrow and level out, he never heard him curse. "Goblin and The Shie Hassaikai are at each other's throats." Spider-Man nods, "The yakuza were defending Tokyo General, Goblin wanted to level it because Endeavor was there."
"Was?" A curious look returned to Spider-Man's mask.
Dr. Downing nodded, "Yeah he is still out there, last I saw a few nomus were after him, that was when Muriko and I spit up." Spider-Man was not liking where this was going, "Some type of purplish-green cloud engulfs the hospital." Yup this was not good. "I saw lighting, but I could not feel its energy, it wasn't real, a hologram."
"That bastard, Mysterio, but which universe?" Dr. Downing takes a sharp breath, "Dr. Down…"
"Blue Guardian," Dr. Downing's lab coat explodes as his belt shoots out engulfed in his quirk. The belt separates into pieces that expand and harden in armor plates that merge with Dr. Downing's body. As it seals the uniform is primarily white with bold dark gray outlines angled inward making his medium muscle frame seem more slender. His chest and back plates were vented along with hidden compartments along his legs and utility belt. In between the armor, seals was a low glow reinforcing every nook and cranny of his person.
From his neck going up in a stacked succession were small plates of armor that outlined his vitals then covered his face in a full face shield. Hologram lines of system functions being checked and cleared appear before disappearing into the shield leaving a circular crosshair over his left eye blinking then going solid. Dr. Downing's uniform reminded him of the hunter armor in the game Destiny 2 on his PS5 back home on Earth-1610. Suddenly the ripped lab coat shreds were all coated in his quirk then reformed into the finishing touch on Dr. Downing's uniform, a hooded scarf.
"So badass!" Spider-Man breathed as Blue Guardian sparked with cracks of blue magnetic bolts of electricity. "Kido," Spider-Man nodded his head as his commander who looked up. Spider-Man then turned his attention back to Blue Guardian, "I take it you can fly Mr. Master of Currents?"
"Like something out of science fiction," Blue Guardian spoke his voice now filtered sounding robotic and speaking through a gas mask.
Spider-Man then leaned back his head tilting towards Kido, "Blue Guardian will lead our air assault team, gather up our flyers." He then looked at the forces that now gathered behind him. "Objections?" Silence. "Goodie."
[Tokyo General: 2 hours ago]
Goblin's Nomu force was closing in on the hospital with one goal, to seal Japan's fear by eliminating its #2 Hero: Endeavor. The public at large knew nothing of the flame hero's forced retirement yet. To the public at large, Endeavor was just recovering at the hospital and would soon return as Japan's new # 1. A new visitor was leading them, he wore a full-body costume with a purple and green color scheme with a long purple cape and what looked like a fishbowl on his head. His cape was attached to golden clasps on his shoulders, the same round clasps also adorn his belt as he walked towards the hospital.
As he approached two VFG yakuza soldiers landed in front of him, "Keep our war away from here." Mysterio stopped, the yakuza could not see his face, then the walking fishbowl said nothing as he pushed onward. The yakuza charge as Mysterio waves his arms and they vanish from him. As he walks forward they reappear with two nomu over them drenched in their blood. Not looking back Mysterio raises his hand catching two glowing white orbs, he seems to hide them in his cape and walks into the hospital.
"Greetings ladies and gentlemen!" Mysterio spread his arms wide, his voice is augmented with an echo making him sound larger than life. "You are now a part of the greatest show on Earth!" He then spun around with grandiose gestures before bringing down his right arm and his hand about to snap, "Don't blink." His fingers snapped consuming the room in purple, green, and dark navy smoke, Mysterio then turned around disappearing into his creation laughing. Cries from patrons as Nomus appear leaping from the all-consuming smoke as if they are nightmares come to life.
"Ooh Ooo Ooo OOOO!" Mysterio chortles as he places a thumb drive into the receptionist terminal as she looks at him in horror for to her he looks like a fiery oni! "Shhhhhh!" Mysterio places a finger to his lips then touches hers, she then sees herself on fire promptly losing what was left of her sanity. Looking around desperately and helplessly until she sees a bucket of water. Mind gone, she literally dives headfirst into a plant breaking her own neck. Her body lies twitching as blood pools out of her mouth.
Mysterio looks at the mess she made, "Well, pity." Turning his attention back to the terminal he gives an approving huff, he found him! Waving to the two nomu that took down the VFG yakuza they approach him, he gestures to follow and they walk towards the elevator. Mysterio then grabs one of the nomu pulling it in front of him. A white streak takes out the nomu and disappears into the smoke. "Well that was unfortunate, toodles!" Mysterio and the remaining nomu enter the elevator, the doors close as Muriko dents it from the outside. With each ding the elevator is reaching its destination, however leaping up flights of stairs their pursuer knows where they are going.
"I'm going to crack that fishbowl so fucking hard!" Muriko says with a gleam flashing in her crimson eyes with each flight being passed. "24th floor, you're MINE!" She kicks open the door just as the elevator opens as mysterious smoke exits out of the elevator. Without thinking she sends a flying kick into it striking her target!
"You bitch!" Mysterio now has to get his hands dirty! White orbs fly out of his cape but Muriko pushes past them, the nomu grabs her slamming her into the elevator wall. "Splendid!" Mysterio says with glee but The Rabbit Hero kicks her captor off her, "Well that's no fun." He leaps back as the white obs flash blinding Muriko, "Khandar Estrada khandos thrus indactu nosfrandus khandar dematos khandar." Muriko regains her sight and sees a ravenous tyrannous demon, "You're soul is…"
"IS MY OWN!" She tackles him breaking the illusion, using her forward momentum flips over him then pulls him up, over, and down atop a desk shattering his fishbowl helmet into a million pieces! "AHHH THIS FEELS SO GOOD!" Mysterio goes limp seemingly out cold. His face is young, a man of about 30 with blonde hair, clean-shaven, with a strong jawline and features. Muriko looks back as the Nomu lets out a shrill before its chest ignites as a hand holds a sphere-like core, it melts instantly.
"Muriko cover me!" She nods as before her is Japan's # 2 hero Endeavor.
"MURIKO!" Another voice calls out from behind Endeavor as Mysterio rises having regained consciousness and is pissed! Without looking Muriko hits him with a back fist taking him out. "Cheez it'z, spam, and garlic." Muriko gives Dr. Downing a flirty wink and a smile causing him to blush. Endeavor taps his shoulder breaking his trace as they head down a stairwell. The Rabbit Hero ties up Mysterio, she looks up and her eyes widen. The window shatters as time slows, Muriko cartwheels to the side then coils her legs against a wall.
Vulture's wings spread wide sending debris, trashcans, office plants, and desks flying! Muriko launches off the wall leaving a crater in its wake, she flips sending both her armored feet into Vulture's shoulders. Claws trigger sending bladed appendages deep into his armor. Vulture falls backflipping in the small room, his talons on his feet spring out, Muriko notices forcing herself back as the talons swipe inches from her face. She gives a sharp gritted smile as she turns ripping out her foot armor claws out as sparks and electricity dance.
She slams her knees down the sides of his neck as she twists hard, "LUNA TREJIAS!" Vulture then meets the marble floor as his helmet shatters! Muriko then rolls forward then back to her feet, she turns on a dime launching forward sending her fist into the small of Vulture's back. She then pushes off the punch flipping to the ceiling coiling herself down as power surges through her legs. Vulture cries out sending his feathers after her as she leaps off taking them head-on! Her movements are quick and precise as she uses them to propel herself forward to her target!
She flips, "LUNA FALL!" Vulture rolls to the side as Muriko crashes through the title and one floor below them. Vulture growls as his feathers return to him, just as Muriko leaps out of the hole she just made. 'SQUELCH!' Muriko's eyes widen as she sees her own arm fly up in front of her! Vulture had grabbed the longest feather and came down like a sword chopping it off her person. Before she could grab it 4 smaller feathers stab into it and explode! Her own arms' anatomy splashes her face! With adrenaline surging through her she rips out her own hair tying the stub off with her remaining arm and mouth.
"LUNA ARC!"She flips forward sending her heel to the back of Vulture's head making him one with the pavement! The sword-like feather is launched into the air, she grabs it with one arm stabbing it into his left dominant shoulder with a twist removing it from his person. Vulture screams as she kicks the arm up then into an industrial paper shredder. "Have fun playing with yourself now bitch!" Breathing heavily she hears more targets heading towards Endeavor and Dr. Downing. "Duty calls!" She tightens the hair around her left arm stub with her teeth then heads out leaving Vulture to bleed out.
[Outside Tokyo General: Dr. Downing and Endeavor]
Nomus were after the both of them, "Endeavor you need another shot!" Dr. Downing said as they ducked into an ally. When Tokyo went under siege he knew it was only a matter of time before villains would come after him. Dr. Downing knew this as well thinking ahead, he had taken Enji's DNA just in case, turns out it was the correct course of action. However, Dr. Downing was a bit rushed so the first formula was slightly unstable but neither one of them had a choice.
Enji was breathing heavy and his face was cracking with flames shooting out, "It burns." His voice was riddled with pain, a pain that he remembered when his quirk first manifested as a child. Dr. Downing looked up as he shot out an electrical shield.
"Here!" Dr. Downing tossed him the shot he pulled out of his coat, "It's gonna get worse before your quirk is restored!" Enji caught it clenching his fist in pain as he stabbed it into his right arm unleashing its bounty. With a scream, flames exploded from cracks forming all over his body.
"RAAGHHH! HELL SPIDER!" Endeavor yelled as purple flames shot out of his fingers erupting fingernails as he roared in sheer agony! The flames then turn into plasma beams destroying all ten of the Nomu after them. "ARRRGHHG! IT BURNS! IT BURNS!" Dr. Downing turned back to the #2 hero who was now consumed with purple flames. "Help me," Endeavor seemed to be crying flaming streams from his eyes as his voice was almost a whimper. He was reaching critical mass.
Dr. Downing looked at him with tears of his own, "Forgive me." Suddenly Endeavor was concealed within a negative electron bubble made from his own body. "I failed you, I am so sorry!" Dr. Downing closed his eyes as Endeavor erupted breaching containment. Dr. Downing forced his eyes to open as Endeavor roared in anguish as his power imploded. "ENJI!" The shield explodes from the force of his quirk, suddenly Enji stumbles back falling to his knees. Dr. Downing runs to him checking him, he can barely handle the heat emanating from Endeavor, but he is breathing.
"Run Jacob," Endeavor looks up his eyes were gone leaving only purple flaming orbs for eyes. With a monstrous boom Goblin lands causing a crater upon the concrete in the alley. Endeavor rises his body now smoldering as purple flames flicker about him. "GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!" Dr. Downing looks on as Endeavor grabs him, "Get to Miles, I will hold the line!" Dr. Downing winced from the heat from the # 2 heroes touch. "GO! NOW!" Dr. Downing nods and leaves.
"Well big guy, it seems if I want something done right…" Goblin's eye's brightened with an evil smirk. He cracks his knuckles as he walks towards the flaming hero his pace quickening.
[Tokyo General: Muriko]
The bleeding had been halted for now as she forced herself through the roof access. She knew that she was on her last legs, that bastard had been on her fluffy white tail the whole way. "Come here my little bunny girl senpai." Mysterio said as he soon arrived on the roof minutes after Muriko. "Bunny. Girl. Se-n-pai!" Muriko gritted her teeth at his nickname for her. It was not that she could not take him out easily, however, the bigger picture was Goblin and Overhaul. "You scar…" Muriko's combat knife hit him on his left shoulder the impact sending him back through the roof access and down the stairway!
Taking a breath she stumbled to the roof's edge her vision blurring in and out she shook her head. "Miles, I… need… you." With another shake, she leapt off rolling onto another roof as she ran. She ran faster than she ever could, "Plus Ultra!" She hissed through gritted her teeth as her pace quickened with every leap. Every tumble, slide, leap, and sprint… taxing until she finally saw her target. A train was on its way towards Musutafu, with a final leap she landed on the train's roof her armored feet springing out their claws embedding and locking her into place as she collapses. From an adjacent building, Dr. Downing saw her landing on the train and collapse. He then took to the air and followed her out.

[Tokyo: Now]
Clipped Wings and Discovery…
Spider-Man stood on a building as four of Japan's top heroes land beside him. He called for backup, "They are battling for control," Kamihara Shin'ya #4, The Ninja Hero: Edgeshot; quirk: Foldabody, basically he can become various sharp objects via human origami.
A hero with perfect blonde hair points up, "Look there in the sky," Hakamada Tsunagu #3, The Fiber Hero: Best Jeanist; quirk: Fiber Manipulation, he could turn your clothes against you or silence you. Spider-Man and the others looked up to see Vulture flying away missing an arm and bleeding out. A woman in a merlot dress with a silver claw clip covering part of her head steps forward. Spider-Man looks at her and nods.
"On it," Tatsuma Ryūko #10, Dragoon Hero: Ryukyu; quirk: Dragon, really? She turns into a dragon, moving on. She slams her arms on to the roof as she begins to transform then take flight.
"Hey Ryukyu hold up!" Toyomitsu Taishirō #58, BMI Hero: Fat Gum, quirk: Fat Absorption, anything can adhere to his obese body on contact and sink into his body fat. His fat can also store kinetic energy, which he then can convert into the offensive muscle at the cost of his fat, thus weakening his defense. The dragon comes down as Fat Gum jumps on her back and they take off. Spider-Man and the two heroes with him watch as they fly off.
"Here's hoping they can follow him home," Spider-Man then turns to Edgeshot, "Scout ahead and be our eyes in this web of shadows." Edgeshot nods folding in on himself turning into a paper airplane. Spider-Man catches it then launches it towards the enemy. "Once we get underground seal us in then when we get inside Endeavor Agency make sure no one else can get in." He tosses an extra web-shooter at him, "See if you can manipulate my webs to reinforce whatever you come up with." Best Jeanist smirks underneath his mask, he was liking this plan. They then jumped off the building they were on one shooting fibers out the other webs.
[Downtown]
They land on the street below, no reaction to his Spider-Sense, "All clear." Jeanist nods as Spider-Man pulls the manhole out. Leaping in Spider-Man follows the #3 in, with a web pull the manhole is plugged as both heroes seal it off with web and fibers. Satisfied with their work they head to the rendezvous at the center of the sewers. "This is going to get messy," Spider-Man could already feel his Spider-Sense tingling.
Sensing his cohort's uneasiness Jeanist speaks, "Retaking a base always is, glad to be working with you Spider-Man."
Spider-Man's lenses refocus at his compliment, "Same Jeanist." He then leapt to the roof of the sewer and lead the way. Jeanist smirked as he quickened his pace. At the center of the sewer, they meet up with Kido and interesting enough Bakagō. "Care to explain?"
The Blonde Pomeranian gave a tch then spoke, "Methane, closed area, big boom, you are going to need me." Spider-Man jumped down landing on the ground, he had to admit Bakagō could be very useful, "Look I'll follow YOUR orders." Spider-Man's lenses widened then focused as his newest charge pointed at him.
"So be it, with me," Bakagō gave a satisfied grin at his new mentor's words and filed in beside him. Best Jeanist narrowed his eyes slightly jealous, the kid never acted that way when he interned with him. "Kido sit rep." Spider-Man had a slight thought, his former partner had rubbed off on him. He internally shook it to the side, 'I… WE will take it back Enji, I swear.'
Kido takes a short breath, "Small battalion of VFGs near the entrance/exit." Spider-Man nodded as he continued, "It seems those of lieutenant rank or highwe get the gear, the rest just get the body armor."
Spider-Man then turns to Best Jeanist, "Does your quirk only work on fabric fibers or metal ones as well?"
He takes a short breath looking down the sewer towards their destination, "Fabric I am afraid, but even from here I can feel something so we are good for now." Spider-Man looks at his squad, he then checked his web-shooters, 29 cartridges when Bakagō tossed him an extra cylinder of 30.
"I got you, covered boss, Tyche made sure of it," Bakagō tapped a pouch in his utility belt. Spider-Man smirked under his mask, Tyche aka Hatsume Mei made sure her otu-san had what he needed.
[Tokyo Skyline: Ryukyu and Fat Gum]
Vulture's suit had painfully sealed off the void that his left arm once was. He was limping back to Goblin Central, his senses were dulled due to loss of blood. Adrian Toomes did not realize he was being followed, right now nobody would be there. Goblin was leading an all-out frontal assault against The Shie Hassaikai, no doubt he was going to win. The two heroes followed the one-armed bird out of Tokyo heading 25 miles south to Kamino, Yokohama, "Kamino, well from the report we got Goblin took Kuroguri's quirk so I guess this makes sense." RyuKyu mused as she continued to follow Vulture to a seedy part of town, "Fat Gum."
Fat Gum taps his earbud twice, "On it, we are already transmitting our location loud and clear." Vulture crashes through a dive bar door, Fat Gum is the first to act as he leaps from off Ryukyu landing in a small boom. He seems to bounce a bit as he walks into a surprise Vulture.
"Oh fuck!" Vulture pulls out his pistol and fires as the bullets are absorbed into the BMI hero's mass! Fat Gum charges, Vulture cannot even get his wings up in time due to the confined space. In one swift motion, Fat Gum picks Adrian Toomes up with one hand slamming him through the back door! Ryukyu follows suit returning to her human form. Her eyes widen as she enters the back door.
She hits her earbud, "Spider-Man we found it along with something else!" He does not reply as she hears him engaging forces. "Shit," Ryukyu switches the band to Nezo. "Nezo we found the base notify Kamino PD, we also need a tech expert."
Nezo on the other end gives a small snickering smile and grabs a certain pink-haired goddess, "Tyche, you are up dear child." Mei's eyes go wild as she slams her fist into her palm. "All is well my dear, backup is underway." Nezo watches as Tyche hits her chest as her hero uniform manifests. Its white resembling the one Spider-Man called Spider-Gwen's however inside the hood is shimmering pink lining like her hair with silver webbing. As she runs her spider arms shoot out suspending herself in the air as she gains more speed exiting the gym. The legs coil then launch her into the air retracting into her back as they then transform into a jetpack. With a thought, her new retrofitted VFG wings attach to armatures blasting her towards Kamino!
Back with Ryukyu and Fat Gum has Vulture pinned against a wall, "What in the actual hell is that?" Fat Gum points back to the multiversal gate his gaze not leaving his. "ANSWER ME!" Normally Fat Gum had the personality of a loving father.
Not. This. Time.
This bastard hurt one of his former interns, Muriko. Now he was going to get in birdy boy's cloaca. "WHAT IS IT!" Vulture gritted his teeth, he was one of the few, the proud, a US Marine. He may have chosen a life of crime but like hell if he was going to be broken. Vulture headbutts Fat Gum, who in turn grabs his injury causing him to scream. "Pathetic!" Fat Gum spat to the side visions of his former intern missing her arm fill his mind. "She would have not even budged!" Fat Gum tightens his grip as Vulture hisses through his teeth. "ANSWER ME!"
"Even if I knew what the fuck that thing was you can kiss my ass… Hero." Vulture was telling the truth, he had no bloody idea what in the hell that machine was, much less what it did. Fat Gum was not convinced as Vulture growled in pain, "Toomes, Adrian. Rank," a squeeze, "E-7, US MARINE!" More pain, "2-2-1-9-6-3-0-9-0-5!"
[Tokyo: Endeavor Agency: Blue Guardian]
Using the Tokyo railway system Blue Guardian and his team arrived under the radar. 'They better have taken Vulture down, he hurt her,' Blue Guardian narrowed his eyes as he put the thought away. Spider- Miles was counting on him, 'I hope Endeavor is okay, please be, for the love of God please be.' Him, another hero that relocated to Japan from America, Christopher Skyline aka Capt. Celebrity, quirk: Flight, self-explanatory, along with three emergency licensed UA third years. Hadō Nejire aka Wave Blast, quirk: Wave Motion: an emitter that allows her to convert her own vitality into energy, Amajiki Tamaki aka Sunburst, quirk: Manifest: he can take on traits from anything he eats. Example: with a bite out of a flying bird he can sprout wings and fly. Finally, the one who was a contender as All Might's successor, Tōgata Mirio aka Lemillion, quirk: Permeation: whilst holding his breath he can phase through solid objects.
Aside from Capt. Celebrity (C.C), UA's Big Three leapt at the chance to work with Spider-Man! Sir Nighteye even gave his blessing for Lemillion to join Endeavor Agency along with his friends. C.C tried to pull rank but Spider-Man had made it crystal clear Blue Guardian was in charge. "Hinder the mission in any way you will not be fast enough to escape my webs!" C.C remembers his forceful words, "Entendes {Understand}?" he would obey especially after seeing the video where Spider-Man faced his first nomu using a Chrysler 300 as boxing gloves. The Big Three were all smiles, they had seen Spidey in action, heard his speech at the beginning of the year, now they had eagerly joined his agency. Getting their licenses early meant they were immediately graduated from UA with honors. Ceremonies could wait, their city needed them and they were ready, willing, and more than able to reply in kind.
They leapt off the train and to the ground below, Goblin's forces and The Shie Hassakai were at each other's throats. To take back Endeavor Agency they had to be stealthy and use the chaos to their advantage. "We stay low till we are at the building, Goblin wants it and Overhaul is on the defensive."
C.C. touched his earpiece, "Nezo just sent word that Ryukyu and Fat Gum found Goblin's base of Operations." Blue Guardian then received the confirmation and that Tyche was on her way.
"That's great!" Wave Blast whispered, "What of Muriko?"
"Nezo says she is coming round, thank God," Blue Guardian sighed in relief then receives word about Vulture, "Fat Gum is interrogating Vulture, good that just leaves his subordinates."
"We still have Overhaul to deal with, Edgeshot spot Goblin yet?" Lemillion inquires as Blue Guardian asks for intel.
"It's a nightmare out here," Sunbursts states as he sees both forces down main streets brawling, advancing, and killing each other. "We have to take back our city!"
Blue Guardian narrows his eyes, "No intel yet, however Spider-Man and his team are already engaging The Shie Hassakai in the tunnel." He looks up barely making out the penthouse office. Blue Guardian then looks at his team, they had now made their way without incident to Endeavor Agency. An explosion ignites the midday sky! The fighting stops as the heroes look up, "HE'S ALIVE!" Blue Guardian declares as the explosion dims and they notice a figure appear on the edge of the building. Without a second thought, it leaps to its death, "They are distracted, team to the air!" Quirks manifest and launch them to the sky, they past the figure it's Overhaul! He grabs the side of the build and launches a concrete spike at them only for it to shatter upon impacting an electro-shield.
Endeavor had been engaging Goblin until Overhaul took notice. Goblin gave a bloody smile as he flaps his dragon wings launching himself past the former #2 hero! "Finally the rat has come out to play!"
"FUCKING GAIJIN!" Overhaul curses his plastic gloves off as he shoots past Goblin. His fingers barely touch his target, suddenly Goblin's side explodes as Overhaul lands in a crater below. Enraged having to touch the disgusting monster he stomps on the ground sending a large spike towards Goblin. It impales him as Endeavor grabs his Goblin's head and neck smoke sizzling as he pulls down with a sicking… CRACK! Endeavor lands and launches towards Overhaul who is quickly meeting him in the middle. They clasp hands only for Overhaul's arms to be turned to ash!
"ERUPTION!" Endeavor screams as his body builds up an internal blaze that implodes then explodes in a pulse wave of purple heat melting everything around Endeavor! Endeavor screams in agony as he yells ERUPTION again letting loose another pulse.
Overhaul's quirk is barely keeping him alive for Endeavor was now starting to reach critical mass again. Another ERUPTION Overhaul is nothing more than a living skeleton. Behind Endeavor, Goblin grabs his head pulling it back in place as the concrete spike is turned into a lava-like mess. Rolling to his feet the liquid hot concrete pours off his body. He launches himself at the flame hero only for Endeavor to turn on a dime grabbing Goblin's arms erasing them from existence! "You dare!" Endeavor's voice was gravelly almost robotic, "THIS IS MY CITY!" With a headbutt combined with a focused eruption, half of Goblin's body is gone! "For Miles…" Endeavor leaps upon Goblin as he reaches critical mass. "With great power," Goblin cannot get away as Endeavor bear hug is tight, "Comes great responsibility."
"THIS WILL NOT CHANGE ANYTHING!" Goblin roars as Endeavor and him explode Overhaul is caught in the explosion at ground zero. Silence rings out.
"Plus ultra…"is the only thing heard.

[Endeavor Agency: Tokyo]
Evil reborn…
All that was left was a black chalk outline without arms, two scorched corpses. Suddenly one of the corpses begins to crawl as slowly begins to return to life. It regenerates slowly as bone, viscera, organs, ligaments, systems, muscles, and skin return. "RAAAAGGHHH!" The corpse roars as it gestures wide, "WHAT A RUSH!" Goblin was back! He looks around as both sides of the civil war suddenly stop and bow down.
While Goblin was feeling himself below Blue Guardian and his team had effectively grounded the VFG soldiers. He looked at his team, then Goblin, "Captain, take them and work your way down." C.C. nodded.
"Wait where are you going?" Lemillion called out as he saw Blue Guardian places his foot on the roof's edge.
Blue Guardian took a breath meeting Lemillion's gaze, "Goblin must be stopped," he then returned his gaze back at Goblin. "No matter the cost!" Blue Guardian leapt down pulling his arms to his side as he made a beeline for the resurrected Goblin. The Master of Currents fought the desire to roar but he needed to get in close. Around him, his quirk sparked and cracked as it gathered around his forearms. He had heard Endeavor's last words, though he was nowhere near him, he still could hear his voice as clear as day. Goblin turns his eyes widen as Blue Guardian cocked his arm back. The monster mirrored his actions, he struck first only to hit a barrier. "IT'S OVER YOU MONSTER!" The area goes bright white before imploding then exploding outward in a blue starburst, "Arc Light." As the blue light faded Goblin stood there his left hand opened as the blast seemed to fall into the void that was his warp cloud.
"Tch. Tch. Tch," Goblin smirked waving his pointer finger that he should not have done that. "Cute," Goblin then rushed forward sending his fist across Blue Guardian's jaw. In an act of sheer mephistophelian malice, Goblin pulls his punch sending Blue Guardian to his knees. "Heh, heh," Guardian could not focus as strike after strike broke down Blue Guardian to his bare-bones. "I am this world's new master," With a massive kick he sent Blue Guardian back to his feet, "ITS GOD!" Goblin was about to smash his skull with his hands only for them to stop at his sides.
Blue Guardian eyes lit up at his declaration, "God?" Goblin was launched back as his body's own electrical field was turned against himself. "Devil," Blue Guardian was now furious charging forward pulling his arms back charging a blast. "You are far from even remotely being called such." Goblin slid back his back against a wall only for Blue Guardian's blast to go through his chest the impact sending him through it. Blue Guardian darts in after him, Goblin retaliates only for his actions to be turned against him. Guardian adds his own fist to mix as he roars sending more strikes to his body and face.
"HOW DARE YOU!" God, God, A GOD! Blue Guardian's rage was consuming him, his father and mother were ministers. He was raised in the Christian faith, stray a bit but never left, only adapted.
He remembered his father's words, "Where science ends God begins my son." It was that statement that kept his faith intact as a wet crush resounds as his fist caves Goblin's face in.
"GoObBLlin," Goblin gurgled, "FFFFFIIIIIRREEEEE!" A stream of green fire blasted out sending Blue Guardian out from which he came. Goblin then stumbled to his feet his body was sluggish, like a man just awakening from slumber. His wings and most of his extremities were numb. His healing factor slowed to a crawl, 'Wh..at d..d he ..o to ME?' His mind was functioning at a crawl, the synapses barely firing their chemical had taken everything within Goblin to shoot off his Goblin Fire.
Blue Guardian had landed on his back on a fire hydrant, with a sickening CRACK! He could no longer feel his legs, pain running through his body like lightning.
Try as might. He. Could. Not. Move. His. Legs.
"Muriko," Blue Guardian whispered as he slid off the hydrant and onto the ground. "No," He told himself as he gathered electrical currents into his being forcing them into his non-functioning legs! "It will not end HERE!" He still had no feeling in them but he could manipulate the muscles to work. "Tension and release, it's fueled by electrons, electrons that bend to my WILL." He forced himself onto his feet, "I can fix myself later, stem cells, cloning," he was sweating as he turned to see Goblin moving sluggishly coming out of the hole in the wall he made. "I have to stop him, delay him!" He took a breath and gritted his teeth, his eye sparking with electricity! "What did Endeavor say?" He sucked in a heavy breath through his clenched teeth. "Time to go beyond!" He forced his legs to move, each action burning him with sheer agony, "PLUS ULTRA!" Suddenly Blue Guardian was consumed in bright blue sparking energy. Electric wings sprouted from his back in a flash in a streak of light he phased through Goblin who screamed as the monster's body trembled as Guardian's electrical currents consumed him!
[Endeavor Agency: Emergency Tunnel]
Spider-Man and company could feel the events happening on the surface. The VFG soldiers continued to fly above them, they were limited. A web shot out of his wrist nailing the chest of a flying buzzard. With a pull, Spider-Man zipped to him in a flash bouncing off him firing another web he pulled his target to him as he sent both feet into him charged with Venom Blast! His sense goes off and he fires another web without looking nailing them in the chest. He pulled then slammed the second VFG soldier into the first then swinging them around Spider-Man's head. They hit the side of the elevator in a violent splatter, as Spider-Man sealed them into the wall. Web zipping into the elevator wall, he coiled his legs, his rage making him hyper-aware of everything happening in the room.
His lenses are narrow as he sees 3 remaining VFGs, without another word he springboards off the wall denting it! They see him but cannot maneuver in time as webs attach to each of them pulling them together with a crash! Spider-Man removes his mask revealing his face. His mouth seems to unhinge and his canine teeth elongate dripping with green venom. The soldiers are falling but Miles is now on them as he sinks his fangs into each of them like a vampire. The venom spiderwebs along with the bites in green trails affecting their nervous systems immobilizing them. They scream that it burns as they hit the ground with Miles landing in front of them. Miles' eyes are feral, these bastards, Goblin, Overhaul, The Shie Hassakai, the blood on his hands with All Might and Sato at the USJ. His hand was painted scarlet from their deaths, now he was fighting to reclaim his partner's agency. "¡NO MÁS {NO MORE}!" He sees soldiers coming for him as time slows, his fists clench, his teeth clench as his fangs retract, his eyes picking out his targets. "Los hijos de putas {Sons of bitches}!" His hands spread venom blast sparking, he launches forward with an uppercut sending yazuka flying, webbing to one he springboards off them and onto another. Miles was no longer holding back, bones crack and splinter as Young Morales gets to work.
His team had long stopped for their targets were down and captured. They watched in complete shock and awe as Miles seems to disappear only to reappear to put the hurt on yet another yakuza. Fear consumed them, paralyzing them in complete terror. Miles was pushed, the taking of his partner's agency had advocated his current actions and they could do nothing to stop him. Miles had torn through Jeanist's fibers with no effort. The soldiers roared in pain but were alive, as quickly as they were taken down they were cocooned. "It's like he is saving them for later," Kido said in a shaky voice.
"He's not far gone, they are alive, he is not crossing the line!" Bakagō pointed out, the cocoons were splattered with the blood of their comrades but they were indeed alive. Soon the room was filled with the groans and sobs of the fallen yakuza as Miles stopped in the center of the carnage falling to his knees. Bakagō runs to him, "Sensei." Miles looks at his newest charge then looks away ashamed. "No sensei, this is war," Bakagō kneels down beside him, "You kept them alive, more than they deserve." Miles then looks at him, "Sensei, you were in control, anyone else, including me, would…" Bakagō looks away, "You did not fall." His young charge returns his gaze to the hero he looked up to.
Best Jeanist is now beside him reaching out his hand to both of them, "You are still a hero Morales, come on we still have work to do." Through the elevator, the company of heroes heads for the ground floor.
"Plus ultra…" Miles's eyes suddenly began to tear up as he clenches his chest. He did not know where Enji's voice came from, but he knew what it meant. Suddenly Miles collapses to his knees as he begins to wail in a mournful roar. The others turn to face him but their words are drowned out by Miles' cries.
