"I don't see why Hawks couldn't bring you here." Huffing, Endeavour sneers scowling as he sits in the driver's seat wearing a suit scowling at the brunette by his side staring solemnly sadly at the home she would once rush home towards, a place she'd call safe, secure, warm but with the news, she was about to deliver…she didn't know what to expect perhaps her mother's unbridled rage would bring the roof down, perhaps her father having a psychotic breakdown would cause her own mothers to trigger…perhaps she was being too dramatic, she didn't know what to say or really expect from these two.
"He's busy at the moment." Katsumi mutters brow furrowing at the murky memory of the mountains it was all a blur one moment she was staring up at the starry sky the next she was screaming, shouting, screeching alone in her bed as Hawks held her, shaking, quivering, quaking in his arms. Gently, her fingertips ghost over her torso remembering the sharp sting of his talons digging deep into her swearing she felt the faint needle of fierce feral fangs almost. She didn't know what to make of the night before of what happened…
"Hmph…You sure you can do this?" Endeavour questions Katsumi taking her aback by the question proposed by him of all people.
"I'd be better coming from me." Miserably, Katsumi sighs stating the fact firmly as much as she hated to admit it, it was the truth. Any other hero would cause a lawsuit with her family beating the crap out of them at the least if they did some damage she wouldn't cause trouble for her family…
"You didn't answer my question." Endeavour remarks snapping her out of her thoughts.
"…" Silently, Katsumi gets out of the car, no words needing to be shared as she heads into the house slowly feeling as if with each step she could hear the crisp crinkle of metal ringing from the iron ball and chain coiled around her ankle holding her back as if she were on an endless elevator as if with each step she sunk deeper into the sandpit of her despair.
"Ma…Dad…" Gently, Katsumi whispers watching worriedly as she slowly enters her home, her parent's home, seeing them hunched over holding one another, their shaking scarlet meeting her own shimming scarlet. She sighs shakily at the two before her, so many emotions were battling brewing beating against one another as she stares at her family. She had failed them, she had failed her baby brother, she had failed them all…
"Don't tell me this fucking shit is true? Please tell me my little boy is safe please Katsumi!" Mad, Mitsuki demands from her daughter furiously grabbing hold of her daughter by both shoulders shaking it begging, beseeching, pleading for her to be lying, for it all to be some sick prank, for her baby boy to come right through that door telling them to die or something she didn't care.
"Ma I…" Gently, Katsumi begins but trails off, closing her eyes trying to stop the dam from breaking, feeling her throat tighten as she trials off, silence speaking volumes of the sad state of the Bakugo household.
"DAMMIT!" Demented, Mitsuki screams screeches slamming her fist down on the table breaking it in half not even Masura's meek voice reaches her as he simply stares sadly at the destructive bomb that was his wife, looking as devasted as her however while her fury fuelled her. Katsumi and her father share a look, having no energy no nothing to keep up with the bombastic blonde smashing shit left and right screaming, screeching, shouting to the high heavens just wanting her baby boy back…
"Why…? Why did this happen?" Meekly, Masura questions standing shakily shyly approaching his daughter who simply stares, feeling the tears threatening to fall from the sheer heartache and anguish upon her fathers' facial features.
"I…I don't know." Chocking, Katsumi whimpers her voice cracking breaking briefly before her father feeling nothing but guilt wash over her.
"Katsuki…" Miserably, Mitsuki whispers making the two turn towards the blonde collapsing to her knees, her legs buckling the fiery flames of fury flickering out, snuffed out with one brisk breeze before she too collapses shaking shuddering anger still pumping through her only making her quiver and quake grinding, grinding her teeth together. She slams her temple to the TV scream, a lone tear freely falling as they hear the weak whimper of…
"You idiot…" Mitsuki shyly reaches out to the screen softly slowly placing her hand upon the picture of Katsuki on screen making both Masaru and Katsumi share a look.
"Ma I promise you I'll do everything in my power to bring him back." Shakily, she sighs stepping forward gently placing her hand on her mother's shoulder, promising her, vowing her, assuring her of it.
"I know you will." Mitsuki whispers, her hues never leaving the TV screen glued to it almost.
"Just…be careful." Masura joins in clearly concerned for his little girl.
"I will I'll bring him back, I will." Gently, she wraps her arms around the back of her mother bringing her into a hug before standing up once more, nodding at her father before leaving her household, her home, having much to do.
"How did it go?" Endeavour asks just as Katsumi settles hearing the click of the door shut.
"…Okay." Weakly, Katsumi whispers her voice cracking breaking as a pair of cold blue stare stoically down at the brunette before him.
"Bombarda…" Endeavour furrows his brow at her.
"It's…it's all my fault." Firmly, Katsumi whimper her hands over her mouth muffling the sharp sob breaking through her lips as Endeavour simply stares, his brow furrowing knowing the pain well. He closes his eyes as he thinks towards a certain white haired blazing blue eyed boy, of a certain shrine back home blinking back the tears threatening to flow from the miserable memory, having lost count of the many empty comforts of no one knew this was going to happen phrase thrown his way, none of it helping, it happened, it still happened, he lost…she lost…
"I'm still a hero dammit I'm meant to save people I'm meant to stop shit like this from happening. I'm a hero I should be strong, I'm meant to be strong, those two…they need me to me strong; they need me to be…to be…" Bombarda begins seething, snarling shaking, rage flowing through her only then to falter from the fierce flame. She feels a warm hand on her back, her hues look up, her fierce flaming ruby reds meeting a pair of cold curt stern sapphire. No words needing to be shed as with that look alone, Katsumi collapses, that look of pain, of anguish, of sympathy…of a hint of pity in his hues as she breaks, as something seemingly cracks….
Sobbing, Bombarda breaks down, the tears freely flowing as Endeavour simply stares head, no words needed to be shared between both pained pros.
"Sadistic Surgeon tell us did you know about the villain vanguard!?" Loudly, the voice echoes as the flashes of bright light flickers in Kazz's eyes, his eyes slammed shut trying to bat them away just wanting to get his job done, just wanting to focus on the students. The quicker he healed them the quicker he could get a lead on Sayako then the quicker they could find her, bring her home for him to hug and never allow her to take a single step out of the house door again.
"No I did not." Sternly, Kazz answers glaring at the report feeling all eyes on him as a wall of people stand before him, stopping him from entering making his blood boil, bubble, burn noting a fair few eyes from within simply watching, observing his eyes action, as if to see if his true colours would slip in or at the least what they thought were his true colours…
"Did you know that your adopted son would be involved in all this? That he would kidnap your own daughter?" One of the woman shoves her microphone in front of the uncomfortable Kazz's face. He feels his heart clench, feeling his chest ache tighten almost as he places his hand on his chest, his fingertips digging deep into the material of fabric. He had to be careful, he had to be delicate, he had to…one false move and that would be it, it would be all over for his family, for his loved ones, for them all.
"No why would I think I would? Please just leave me alone I just want to do my job. There are people inside who need my help." Huffing, he brushes them off ignoring the beads of sweat slithering down his tense temple. He makes his way through the mob, shoving some aside ignoring the sharp flash of light as he makes his way inside the hospital just as the screen switches back to the reporter reporting.
"Boss…you know watching that isn't going to help…" Sighing, Haneul begins brow furrowed concern clear in her tone towards her boss, watching the screen of the TV play out. Haneul and Kane sit either side of her on the sofa while she herself stands, scowling at the screen, packing back and forth fuming, furiously stepping up and down, feeling her blood boil, bubble, burn.
"It's the only thing that is on." Bombarda bitterly mutters under her breath brow furrowed.
"Look boss we know you're stressed right now." Gently, Kane sighs his hands firmly flat on his knees helping him up turning to look at Bombarda back turned to him.
"Who the fuck said I was stressed?" Sharply, she snaps turning on her heel fury flowing through her veins.
"She's got a point boss." Haneul joins in gently taking Kazz by his shoulder pulling his shaken facial features back.
"I said I'm fine." Firmly, she snaps sharply at her sidekicks scowling.
"Katsumi we're just as worried but pushing yourself is going to do more harm than good." Honestly, Haneul tells Bombarda.
"So what? You want me to sit on my ass while my brother is tied up and for all I know being tortured!?" Enraged, Katsumi snaps sharply seething scowling.
"Kat…" Kane sighs furrowing his brow at her.
"This could have been planned by Ryoma the sick fuck trying to get back at me." Katsumi curses under her breath pacing back and forth fuming once more mad.
"Kat we don't know that." Tentatively, Haneul tries to reason with her however…
"But what if it is what if it's my fault!?" Frowning, Katsumi argues combing her fingertips through her brown locks, tugging at a fair few stray strands crouching down, trying to stop the tears threatening to freely fall.
"You weren't to know." Softly, Kane places his hand on Katsumi's shoulders squeezing her shoulder trying to assure her however…
"But I should have I should have taken him out of that school I should have…" Pained, Katsumi whimpers, her voice cracking breaking as she swiftly slams her hand over her face trying to stop the tears freely falling once more.
"Have what ruined his dream?" Kane snaps sharply scowling.
"Kane." Haneul furrows her brow at him.
"No someone has to say something. Come on Kat you know I'm right, hell I remember the little tyke spouting about how much he wanted to be like you, how much he wanted to go into U.A into how much he wanted to be a hero. This happened and yes it's shit but now we got to deal with it you know?" Kane reminds Katsumi as Haneul gently guides her back down on the seat softly trying to assure her as their boss had her head in her hands.
"Kane's right boss." Haneul agrees rubbing patterns into her back.
"Haneul…Kane." Katsumi begins brow furrowing.
"Don't think you got to do this alone." Kane tells her.
"We've got your back leave the agency to us." Haneul joins in.
"We promise you won't come back to it burning." Kane assures Katsumi.
"Or becoming a craft festival." Jokingly, Haneul joins in.
"...Thanks guys…I mean it." Katsumi bows her head sighing.
"Come on the kid's family of course we're worried." Kane furrows his brow.
"Yes Katsuki may be rude but I know deep down he has a heart of gold." Haneul joins in smiling shyly.
"Yeah I mean I remember the kid in his little nappies." Dubiously, Kane smirks smugly.
"…" Scowling, Katsumi furrows her brow at Kane.
"Too much info?" Kane smiles strained at both eh furrowed frowns of Haneul and Katsumi.
"Too much info." Katsumi confirms coldly brow further furrowing at him.
"Regardless you can rely on us boss." Haneul reassures her.
"Yeah go back home take a break." Kane joins in.
"I'll try…" Tiredly, Katsumi sighs slumping her shoulders shaking her head having no real clue what to say, feeling the bags heavily hang down from her pinching the bridge of her nose, forcing her to stay awake as she heads home…
"It would seem those behind the U.A training camp attack are known to be called the league of villains vanguard action squad. The league was previously involved in the USJ attack and Hosu incident, the youngest victim is the son of water hose who was killed by muscular in a tragic accident!" Annoyed, Katsumi scowls when hearing said words hammering in her head once more as she is once again welcomed home to it.
"It's perfectly obvious to me that there's something wrong with U.A's current management if I had a child who wanted to become a hero there's no way I'd enroll them in a school that-" Another one adds as Katsumi seethes snatching the remote from the TV.
"FOR FUCK SAKE!" Screaming, she tosses the remote at the TV, shards scatter all over the place but Katsumi doesn't even bat an eye to the broken TV heaving huffing.
"Kat…" Meekly, the voice calls out making Katsumi scowl.
"NOT NOW HAWKS! I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS!" Shouting, she screams at Hawks flinching from the voice as he shyly shakily follows her into her study.
"Kat please!" Pleadingly, Hawks begs, lingering in the doorway with Katsumi's back turned to him tremors coursing through her body gritting grinding her teeth together, shy scorch marks streaks taint the desk below.
"HAWKS JUST FUCK OFF I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR YOU OR FOR WHATEVER THIS IS!" Incensed, Katsumi snaps sharply seething snarling at Hawks.
"Kat please!" Pleadingly, Hawks begs once more making her blood boil.
"Why are you…are you tugging your feathers out or something!?" Scowling, she shouts noting his hand anxiously plucking out the feathers making her hues dilate panicked.
"I…" Shakily, Hawks flinches from her words as next Kat knew he had fallen to his knees.
"Hawks the fuck is going on!?" Astonished, Katsumi stares stunned at the curled-up form of the shaking shuddering Hawks.
"I…I wanted to talk to you about this." Tentatively, Hawks tries to explain, a heavy hue to his crimson cheeks his slitted gold glistening tears freely falling from the boy below her.
"ABOUT WHAT!? KEIGO THE FUCK IS GOING ON!?" Freaked out, Katsumi scowls just wanting answers.
"I'm rutting okay!?" Angrily, Hawks barks back at her hues widening when seeing his fierce feral fangs.
"…You're what!?" Alarmed, Katsumi furrows her brow, befuddled, the fuck was a rut!?
"RUTTING!? HAPPY!?" Hawks screams snapping back at her taking her aback.
"Look I don't know what that is but I don't have time for it." Irritated, Katsumi shakily sighs, placing her hands up in the air done with this, done with him, done with it all.
"And you think I do!?" Hawks screams at her.
"JUST GO HOME HAWKS!" Fed up, she snaps at him, he had no reason to be here, he could have left, he could have gone, he could have let her help find some lead….
"I CAN'T!" Pained, Hawks whimpers weakly.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T!?" Confused, Katsumi demands from him just wanting answers.
"I…I have to stay here I have to…keep the nest safe." Seriously, he curls in on himself further flabbergasting Katsumi.
"The nest? The fuck are you on about!?" Angrily, she shouts at him making him flinch from her raised voice.
"You need to stay safe you need to be…" Suddenly, the blonde blur pounces on her pinning her down to the ground below, his talons digging deep into her flesh, shy streams of scarlet sliding out of the indents.
"Keigo what's going on?!" Angrily, she screams startled scared even eyeing the boy above her.
"…" Silently, his slitted gold glare down into her startled scarlet having no clue what to make of the beast before her.
"…Fine you know what? You stay here and I'll go to the office stay there until you have whatever this is figured out." Katsumi snaps sharply scowling, she didn't have time for this, for Hawks bullshit not today, not now, not when her brother needed her the most.
"YOU CAN'T LEAVE!" Intensely, he snarls sharply at her.
"DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO FUCKING DO!" Katsumi barks back taking Hawks aback by the swift slam of her head bashing into his as next he knew he was flung back on the floor.
"I don't know what this is but if you're going to act like this…I'm going to tell the commission." Concerned, Katsumi arises from her seated form, hands up in the air having no clue how to help him this…this was something she had o clue in and she did not have the time to catch up not now….
"You can't! Kat please! They'll know I'm off my suppressants." Scared, Hawks tells her making her freeze from her tracks.
"Sup…the heck are those!? Why weren't you on them from the beginning!?" Baffled, Bombarda questions still lost, suppressants what were those?! Why wasn't he on them in the first place!? If they stopped this why wasn't he…!?
"…" Anguished, Hawk bows his head curling further in on himself.
"I don't have time for this." Tiredly, Katsumi sighs turning her back to him, hands up in the air, done.
"Kat please!" Pleadingly, Hawks begs reaching out to her.
"NO KEIGO NO. MY BROTHER HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED I HAVE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT THAN WHATEVER THIS IS!" Irritated, Katsumi states the fact firmly to him having no clue what to make of this, she couldn't help him this was far out of her depth, Hawks needed help and the only people who could help were the commission.
"KAT PLEASE! PLEASE!" Pleadingly, Hawk lunges at her but she swiftly slams the door in his face ignoring the sharp sting to her chest when hearing the crisp crunch of bone bash into the wooden door just as she feels the vibration of her phone.
"Hello?" Katsumi slams her other hand to her ear as she answers the phone trying to ignore the muffled moans, weak whimpers and clawing of the door behind her.
"Bombarda?" Tsukauchi answers taking her aback.
"Tsukauchi?" Baffled Bombarda blinks.
"Who the hell are you talking to!?" Surprised, Bombarda blinks at the demonic voice, gasping at the sudden kick to the door making her wince at the sharp sting to her back.
"Is now a bad time?" Tsukauchi asks anxiously.
"Nah it's fine." Frowning, she brushes him off.
"Are you sure I'm hearing-" Tsukauchi begins but…
"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING TO!?" Bellowing, Hawk sharply snaps scowling.
"NONE OF YOUR DAMN FUCKING BUSINESS!" Bluntly, Bombarda barks back.
"Are you sure…?" Tsukauchi questions worriedly.
"It's fine. What is it?" Katsumi dismisses.
"I thought you should know since the case involves your brother and I owe you a fair few favours. We have a lead." Tsukauchi tells Katsumi her ruby reds widening when hearing the news.
"You're shitting me." Stunned, Katsumi whispers.
"Nope. We've finally finished taking comprehensive statements from Aizawa and Vlad King ad I think we found something. It's possible we have a lead on where the league of villains are hiding." Tsukauchi reveals.
"Where is it?" She asks.
"Hold your horses we have a plan. Just listen, about two weeks about I sent an officer to gather information a man pointed out he had seen a man with a patchwork face enter a place that was supposed to be vacant. The man looked to be in his twenties, but we didn't find any plausible matches when we checked the records. We spoke with the owner of the building though and found there's a sort of hidden bar there. Our man thought it was unrelated to our kidnapping in the case so didn't investigate any further but remember the description of that villain from the attack, he had a patchwork face. Given the profile of this crime we'll move as soon as we get the green light this is top secret. I'm only telling you this cause it's you. We plan to ask many cooperation from pro heroes for this rescue and inevitable clean up mission we even got All Might on the job." Tsukauchi explains to her.
"You serious?" Stunned, Katsumi blinks baffled.
"I am." Tsukauchi confirms.
"KAT! KAT!" The sharp slashes continue on.
"You still there?" Tsukauchi asks.
"Y-Yeah thanks." Strained, she smiles.
"You sure you're alright?" Tsukauchi questions concern clear in his tone.
"Yeah…look I…I think I may need a place to stay after all this think you can hook me up somewhere." Sighing, she asks him hopeful.
"What about yours?" Tsukauchi asks.
"There's been…a change of plans." Pained, Katsumi grimaces at the constriction cell of her chest coiling around her hammering heart.
"KAT!" Katsumi ignores the leap in her chest, sweat sliding down from another sharp screech.
"Right. I'll see what I can do I'm guessing you'll want in on this." Tsukauchi assumes.
"That's the understatement of the fucking century." Curtly, she deadpans.
"I'll see you tonight." Tsukauchi tells her.
"Right see you." Katsumi nods her head hanging up before shakily sighing, a small sad smile of relish crossing her lips from the wave of relish washing over her.
"Kat…P-Please…" Pleadingly, the muffled moans soon cease turning to weak whimpers only adding salt to the wound in Kat's chest as she shakily sighs craning her neck back her temple touching the damaged door as her scarlet shimmer. She places her hand over her mouth muffling the sob trying to breakthrough. She…she didn't want to do this to him. But she didn't know what she could do to help him, she wanted to help him but…
I'm sorry Hawks…but someone I love needs me even more than you. Katsumi bows her head shakily before leaving, heading towards the elevator, taking out her phone, phoning the only people who could help Hawks, who could save him from whatever was happening to him…
"Why should I clean up U.A's mess? I'm a very busy man as you know…" Annoyed, Endeavour huffs crossing his arms over his chest displeased.
"Get off your high horse you are a U.A Alumni." Best Jeanist scowls at him through the TV scree where the other team of heroes are on the other side.
"I told you I could handle this just fine there was no need to bring him." Endeavour turns to glare at Kazz.
"No offence but I doubt your bedside manners are the best especially when it comes to the distressed civilians." Coolly, Kazz crosses his arms over his chest.
"Now's really not the time." Tiredly, Bombarda sighs at the two.
"We can't call in heroes from the school there's a bigger picture Endeavour. It's possible this incident could be the end for hero society we'll stop at nothing to resolve this successfully." Tsukauchi reminds the two trying to be a peacemaker between the two but…
"During the internships I invited Bakugo to my agency to try and reform him. I had hoped to invite Sayako too but she turned my offer away, going elsewhere for her work study. I've met very few as stubborn as he is and knowing Sayako I imagine they are both fighting back. We need to hurry." Seriously, Best Jeanist explains brow furrowed as he thinks back to the two particular his little girl, his brow furrowed at the thought of the girl, especially without her stimulants making him grimace.
"Not even you were able to change his behaviour." Gang Orca approaches Jeanist surprised by the news.
"Yes he was inflexible, pride sewn into his very coy…" Best Jeanist scowls at the memory of the shouting screaming bombastic blonde.
"Bring back any memories?" Orca teases thinking back to a certain god child of his.
"Too many…." Miserably, Best Jeanist bows his head at the thought.
"We'll bring her back Tsunagu." Orca assures Best Jeanist his tone soft making Tsunagu sigh shakily, closing his eyes blinking back the tears threatening to fall.
"My comrade Ragdoll was also taken. This is my chance to get her back." Tiger says determined slamming his paw into his paws palm.
"Thanks to the tracking devices planted on them by one of the students we now believe there are two separate hideout locations. We know from our investigation where the kidnapped victims are located but even then they could have split them up so be prepared for a hostage situation just in case. Retrieving Bakugo and Sachiko is our priority at the same time we'll gain control of the other hideout. This will cut of their path of retreat and we'll arrest them all at once. We have the element of surprise these villains will not succeed! At the press conference earlier we had principal Nezu act clueless to distract the villains. He feigned innocence on camera as if we didn't have leaks after hearing his words, the villains won't think we'll rush in on the very same day! We'll retaliate it's time for our counteract, remind the world what we can do heroes!" Tsukauchi explains to the heroes determined as he gestures to the TV showing said conference on screen, ready for the plan at hand to finally go underway.
"Who ordered pizza?" Perplexed, Twice blurts out.
"…What flavour is it?" Intrigued, Sayako ponders.
"Sayako the fuck!?" Katsuki turns to scowl at her.
"What knowing these sick fucks it could be pineapple!" Perturbed, Sayako argues annoyed.
"There is nothing wrong with pineapple on pizza!" Defensively, Orochi argues.
"These sic-" Sayako begins only then to be cut off by the sharp slam of the door and the bellow of…
"SMASH!"
"Kurogiri gate!" Urgently, Shigaraki calls out as everyone's eyes widen when seeing a familiar blonde rush in alongside a certain brunette rushes in just as Dabi lights up the flames, freeing him. Dabi lunges at Katsuki, his hand engulfed in fiery flames only then for his eyes to widen when he is swiftly slammed in the gut, salvia spewing out of him as a heavy ring roars out when he is blasted backwards, thrown to the bar counter. The back of his head hits the counter as the crisp crunch of bone echoes before he comes crashing down to the ground.
"Dabi!" Panicked, Orochi cries out his eyes flashing blue.
"Binding chain prison!" Kamui calls out as Sayako recoils her strings back seeing the flames catching on, swiftly tearing the fibres off as instead wood coils around the others trapping them ad the knocked out Dabi.
"S-Sis…?" Shocked, Katsuki stares stunned, his raw reds shake, shimmering from the heavy coat of tears threatening to fall from the sheer sight of the brunette.
"Sorry we took so long." Softly, Bombarda smiles softly at Katsuki, her own ruby reds similar to his own softening relief clear upon her face when seeing him.
"You can't run anymore league of villains understand because we are here now!" All Might proudly proclaims making Sayako groan cradling her head, wincing.
"Right after the press conference? They had this ruse planned out this whole time!?" Confused, Compress says shocked.
"Look at that, the lowly extra catching on…" Bombarda sneers smirking smugly at him.
"How dare you I am no mere extra!" Enraged, Compress seethes only then to cry out when the wooden confines coiled around Compress tighten from Kamui swinging in.
"Treeman you're hugging me too tight harder!" Twice groans, before requesting it as he writhes in the tree branch chains.
"One tends to neglect defence when on the offence but we didn't come alone. Take a look. You're surrounded by the police not to mention power heroes like Endeavour and Bombarda." Modestly, Edgeshot slips in through the lock swiftly opening the door for the police to come charging in.
"Tsukauchi why does Bombarda get to rush into the fight while I'm stuck here with you?" Enraged, Endeavour demands from the detective the two standing by as the others rush in.
"She insisted besides if someone slips out we need you to capture them." Tsukauchi answers making him grunt glaring to the side.
"You did great…you must have been scared I'm sorry Katsu." Sighing, Bombarda turns to her brother, placing her hand on his hair, hearing his soft sniffles feeling the tremors coursing through his body. He tries to keep a stiff upper lip. On the other hand, Sayako simply stares, almost in awe at the sight of her role model of sorts, she's really here…does this mean? A small spark of hope lingers in Sayako's chest as she peers outside from the crater formed by the entrance only for that small spark to falter from the lack of a certain Demin figure.
"You're safe now young man." All Might assures Katsuki.
"WHAT!? I WASN'T SCARED NOT EVEN CLOSE! AS IF I'D BE SCARED LIKE SOME EXTRA LIKE SAYAKO!" Shouting, Katsuki snaps back grinding his teeth together, trying to stop the waterfall from descending down.
"Who the fuck said I was an extra!" Enraged, Sayako snaps out of her thoughts at the remark, the disappointment gnawing in her gut turning to rage as she snaps at him.
"I said so fucker! You were the one scared!" Seething, he slams his temple against hers.
"Bitch you were shaking in your boots." Boisterously, she slams her temple against his the two acting like two angry bulls making the heroes sweat drop at the two.
"Aw he made a friend." Pleased, Bombarda smiles softly hands on her hips.
"That's a friend?" All Might murmurs, sweat dropping unnerved by the bickering pair of kids before him, shouting, screaming, screeching at each other as the tears freely fall from them both, the dynamic the strangest one he's ever seen.
"After I went through all the trouble of preparing this, the final boss goes and shows up on my doorstep. Everyone's been restrained there's no easy way to escape it can't be helped so they've got backup huh? Well we do too. Kurogiri warp over as many as you can!" Seriously, Shigaraki seethes shaking, enraged as he commands the portal but…
"The nomu right?" Smirking, All Might exclaims.
"What are you waiting for dammit!?" Impatiently, Shigaraki demands from the purple portal but…
I'm sorry the nomu's were meant to be in a fixed location but…they're gone." Kurogiri reveals shocked only then to cry out when Edgeshot shifts his body into a thin thread of sorts swiftly hitting Kurogiri's neck making Sayako's eyes expand at the technique, snapping out of her argument against Bakugo at the sight.
It seems you have a lot to learn Shigaraki. You're still green. Your little league underestimated all of us, the soul of these two heroes in training, the policies diligent investigation and…our righteous fury." All Might proclaims as elsewhere far from the bar…
We have control the nomu's are neutralised." Formally, Best Jeanist proclaims, his strings sprayed out all over as he lays upon the pile upon pile of nomu's captured, tied up acting as his throne as Best Jeanist stands tall over the beasts that were the nomu.
"Enough is enough your game has come to an end Tomura Shigaraki." Sternly, All Might proclaims proudly, his light blue hue glowing glistening only making Shigaraki seethe fury flowing through his veins.
"All Might please you're the only hero Stain respects you are worthy!" Wailing, Spinner pleads, begs fear laced in his tone as she shakes before All Might.
"You think its over? Don't be stupid we've only just begun to play justice peace. You created a garbage society by lifting up such ridiculous ideals that's why I targeted you All Might its why I started gathering people to my cause. You think this is the end? Then you've lsot Kurogiri!" Urgently, Shigaraki calls out to again just as he jots up surprising Edgeshot only then to gasp when a metallic hand plants firmly on the brace.
"What just happened? I didn't see anything did they kill him?" Hysterically, Magne calls out from behind the counter tied up.
"So you must be the guy from USJ the one with the stupid brace." Sadistically, Bombarda smirks smugly as she fires at him with tiny explosions making him cry out as Edgeshot performs another strike swiftly silencing him, unaware of Katsuki's ruby reds widening from his sister's words.
"Weren't you listening to us earlier it would be better if you take us seriously. Kenji Hikiishi, Shuichi Iguchi, Himiko Toga, Atsuhiro Sako Jin Bubaigawara and Basil Sachiko." Sternly, Grand Torino lists out as Orochi's electric blue glistening turns blood red.
"I told you…that's not my name!" Screeching, Orochi wails as next thing the others knew from the wail they heard the crisp crunch of bone, seeing him crack his bone, his head dangles down from his socket as he simply smiles at the horrified heroes staring stunned disgusted to see the head disconnected out of his head swinging from side to side.
"Calm down Orochi!" Magne cries out but it's too late as with a bright broad grin upon his face, the crisp crunch of bones continue util he slips out of the hold, nothing more than a limp body, with barely any bones in place as he slowly slides them back in or tires to that is until he cries out when as he is about to put back his arm into the final socket, he is met by the prosthetic palm of Bombarda blasting him in the face.
"Orochi!" Shigaraki cries out at the snake screams, cradling clutching his eyes wailing in pain from the sudden sharp flash of light.
"Though they had little time and information the police worked throughout the night to find out your true identities do you understand? There's no way left for any of you to run. So Shigaraki one question where is your boss hiding?" Sternly, Gran Torino demands from him as another line of bark coils around the wailing whimpering mess that is Orochi curling in on himself.
"No…this is not…over. Just you wait the game is still mine." Mad, Shigaraki seethes shaking like a volcano about to explode.
"You'll tell us where he is right now." Sternly, All Might orders.
"Go away…disappear!" Shigaraki screams stubbornly refusing to do so.
"Shigaraki!" All Might demands but…
"This is your fault! I HATE YOU!" Shigaraki screams as just then grey sludge portals form besides Shigaraki, where erupting from the grime silver sludge are familiar brained creatures.
"Nomu! How did they get here!? What is this!?" Stunned, Kamui questions shocked.
"Dammit Edgeshot stop Kurogiri!" Bombarda orders him.
"He's still out it isn't his doing." Edgeshot tells her.
"They keep on coming." Gran Torino huffs just as Katsumi grabs Bakugo's arm bringing him close to her as Sayako stares at the nomu slowly coming in.
"Don't release them under any circumstances! Got it!?" Strictly, All Might orders Kamui.
"Right!" Resolute, Kamui nods his head in understanding as just the…
"Ka-" Bombarda jolts up at the voice turning to her brother, her raw reds dilating dread flowing through her, her heart drops stopping when seeing the same silver slime pour out of Bakugo's insides.
"Katsuki!" Bombarda screams reaching out to him just then Sayako screams as vomit of silver sludge spews out of her as well.
"Sayako!" All Might lunges for the girl but before either pro could reach them…
"NOOO!" Screaming, both Bombarda and All Might scream anguished at the sight of their lost pupil and lost brother…
"No, no! I'm so sorry!" Sobbing, Kamui cries out anguished as the slick silver sludge pools drop down, fading away sinking into the floor boards below as the nomu's rush at the heroes.
"It's not your fault none of us were able to do anything Kurogiri's quirk allows him to open up warp gates not allowing anyone to pass through but this was targeting specific people." Unfazed, Edgeshot leaps onto the ceiling turning into a thin ruby red string of sorts impaling the nomu's but doing nothing in the end as All Might and Torino wrestle with the beasts, oblivious to the fuming, furious volcano on the verge of exploding.
"Get. Out." Lowly, Bombarda whispers, her tone cold, curt, her ruby reds bloodshot shaking, veins protruding into her sclera visibly shaking, quivering alongside her raw reds seeing nothing but red as she shakes looking like something about to erupt.
"Bombarda?" Concerned, All Might turns to the brunette as a nomu raises its fist to the back of the brunette trying to take her by surprise but…
"If you don't want to die I suggest you leave…NOW." Swiftly, she catches said fist not even batting an eye to the creature behind her as a wave of bloodlust emits out of her in such an intensity that makes the pros flinch from it.
"I suggest we do as she says." Grand Torino advises.
"Agreed!" Edgeshot soon follows alongside All Might looking concerned for the brunette seeing steam spew out of her as as soon as they get out of the building, Endeavour turns to see All Might back to back with him about to open his mouth demanding where Bombarda is only then…
"Catastrophic Climax!" Suddenly an explosion engulfs the bar enveloping it in flames as debris comes crashing down, hitting the nomu's below, some of the police members get caught but Endeavour and the others quickly deal with the fallen debris aimed at the people below, others dive out of the way screaming as most of the debris comes crashing down on the nomu's, swiftly killing them.
"Focus on the enemies on your left!" Screaming, Bombarda roars as they then turn to see the girl up high in the air, her robotic fingertips digging deep into the battered beaten brain of one of the nomu's. She spins the body around as it screams withing in agony as she almost rides it down to the ground causing it to crash land on another nomu.
"They're monsters!" Scared, a police officer cries out briefly aiming at the rapid red eyes beast launching off said nomu to another screaming screeching firing explosion after explosion into the brain sections of the nomu's, killing one after another tossing them who knows all she is red as she strikes screaming.
"More of them? I thought we were suppose to have a handle on these!" Endeavour remarks his brow furrowed clearly concerned for his partner when watching her launch herself after one fight to another, no break in between as his blues narrow noting her twitching forearm.
"Jeanist isn't answering me anymore! It's possible they failed at the nomu factory!" The detective informs Endeavour as his men scream firing bullet after bullet but still nothing deters the beasts just as they grow too close, they are soon enveloped in Endeavour's hell flame.
"This is putting a lot of stress on my power!" Endeavour warns the detective, seeing Bombarda launch from one helmet to the other ripping out one brain from the other seeing the bodies fall like dominos.
"Endeavour! Are you keeping up?" All Might asks him wiping the shy scarlet stream from his lip smiling despite the bloodbath before them.
"Does it look like I'm having ay trouble? I see you've had trouble with Bombarda's attacks you've gotten weaker All Might!" Endeavour remarks as he reels his fist back firing at another nomu.
"Or perhaps young Bombarda has promise to her!" Optimistically, All might offers punching at another nomu only then for them both to duck down from the screeching brunette throwing a nomu their way to finish off together, with a fiery blast of fire and wind.
"Tch you think I don't know that! Tch just worry about your own responsibilities you fool! If you're going to go after them now's the time!" Endeavour scolds All might as one luges at Bombarda but he easily engulfs it in his hellish flames.
"Right I'll leave you to it." All Might nods his head taking off leaving the two powerhouses alone.
"Argh! MOTHER FUCKERS! MOTHER FUCKING!" Furious, Bombarda screaming shouting as she tosses another nomu into a building wall.
"BOMBARDA CALM YOURSELF!" Endeavour calls out as one aims at her form her blind spot only for him to kick it away as the two stand back to back.
"FUCK OFF! ARGH! FUCKING FREAKS!" Screaming, she fires another blast engulfing a fair few of them propelling them into windows of a nearby shop evacuated beforehand.
"You're causing more damage to the buildings than the nomu!" Endeavour reminds the bloodthirsty girl glaring at anything, anyone in side sweat sliding down her back courtesy of the fiery flames from behind. She fires blast after blast at nomu after nomu, grinding her teeth together, ignoring her shaking, quivering, quaking arm almost at its limit.
"He was in my fucking hands my fucking hands Endeavour dammit!" Furious, she seethes staring down at her hands staring down at the crimson clumps in her hands.
"You want to do right by him then go after him!" Endeavour barks at her.
"But…" Bombarda blinks take aback doing a double take as she looks up at Endeavour simply staring ahead firing blast after blast easily towering over her.
"I'm fine I can take care of myself now go!" He orders her.
"Endeavour…" Touched, Bombarda's features falter soften slightly.
"I said go dammit!" He curses snapping her out of her thoughts.
"…Right." Determined, she nods her head as he does the same, understanding between both heroes as they leave, separating going their own paths, their own separate ways.
"Good to see I'm not late to the party." Sayako jolts up at the voice, her greens widening when seeing the woman drop down by her side.
"Bombarda!" Sayako says shocked.
"Jeanist looks like shit." Bombarda places her hand on her hip staring down at him.
"What gave it away the gaping hole or my bloodied jacket?" Snippily, Sayako says, her snippy remarks being the only way to cope with everything going on.
"Little bit of both, your dad's coming now along with some backup." Bombarda assures her.
"WAIT WHERE ARE YOU GOING!?" Sayako says shocked staring to see Bombarda rush over to the scene just as Compress reaches out to Katsuki.
"Time for the curtain call!" Compress calls out only then to falter from the brunette behind him diving down, her hand flat on the floor, swiftly swiping, tripping Compress crying out.
"Everyone always seems to love an encore though." Smirking, Bombarda slams her foot down on the back of Compress.
"K-Kat?" Katsuki says shocked doing a double take at the sight of his sister.
"Shit a pro!" Spinner curses.
"Ah nothing quite like a brother and sister bonding by beating the crap out of these lowly extras who think they can fuck with my family! What say you brother dearest shall we?" Smirking, she cranes her beck to the side hearing the crisp crunch of bone.
"Fuck yeah…Katsuki smirks smugly, crimson clashing against crimson as they stand back to back with one another.
"Time to cut you into ribbons!" Giddily, Toga smiles lunging at Bombarda only to cry out as Bombarda swiftly grabs said blade smashing it with her prosthetic as she then tugs Toga forward before kicking her back.
"Toga my queen!" Twice cries out charging at Bombarda tape in hand only to be blasted in the face making him cry out as he too is thrown out of the circle leaving a select few left however just as they ready for another round, a sudden spike of ice forms out of nowhere where riding on it…
"It's time for the curtain call!" Compress roars charging at Bombarda aiming at Katsuki only for him to groan when she swiftly grabs his hand.
So you're the one who helped kidnap my brother. Can't have that happen again I'm afraid." Arrogantly, Bombarda smirks smugly swiftly snatching said arm by the forearm and slamming her knee into it with her elbow, hearing the crips crunch of bone arms.
"Compress!" Orochi cries out as he too dives at Bombarda only to once again meet her flash but he avoids said strike this time, instead of being scared he goes feral, baring his feral fangs at her biting down upon her arm only for her to smirk when he bites into her prosthetic, making him recoil back, cradling his jaw glaring at her only then for crimson to come crashing out as she swiftly elbows him in the face, ending with a swift explosion to the face making him come crashing down to the ground.
"Orochi!" She hears Shigaraki cry out as just then…
"Come on!" Loudly, Kirishima screams calling out to his friend, stretching his arm out to the blonde, raw reds clash against a similar shade to his own only then to gaps at the blur diving at him, hand outstretched only then for a brunette to come diving in.
"Kat!" Bakugo cries out horrified as Shigaraki's hand coils around her arm.
"Bakugo go." Seriously, she screams at him.
"But…" Fearfully, Katsuki whispers seeing brief glimpses of a younger her of…
"GO DAMMIT." Sharply, she screams as he kicks the stunned Shigaraki back before unveiling her sleeve seeing her prosthetic fine much to his relief as she dives out of the way charging at the others as something clicks in him. He fires out a bombastic blast propelling him upwards skywards before slapping his had over Kirishima's as the group of student flee.
"You got yourself an interesting class Katsu…" Impressed, Katsumi smirks smugly as she swiftly elbows Spinner in the gut causing saliva to spew out of him only then to perk up at…
"Don't let them get away! Who can do distance!?" Frantically, Compress calls out from the ground groaning.
"Kurogiri and Dabi but they're down!" Spinner answers.
"Spinner here! Magus calls out as a blue light forms around Magus hands.
"Oh hell no!" Bombarda snaps about to strike when…
"Sorry dearie but you're not going anywhere. Surprised, she gapes when a perk pink light envelopes her as debris rush towards her.
"FUCK YOU! She curses as she blasts at the barrage of debris that come crashing at her seeing a fair few civilians in the midst of it as she tries to help them form the descending debris.
"Titan cleft! Sayako's ears perk up at Mount lady intercepting said strike, blood gushes out of her nose as she comes crashing down.
"Whoa mount lady!" Amazed, Midoriya watches in awe as the woman comes crashing down.
"The rescue's priority go home you dumb kids…" Mount lady grunts as she falls flat to the ground just as Sayako holds her father dealing with the gales of wind blown their way with her clinging to her father's side.
"I'm afraid I can't allow your inference to continue." Coolly, One for all proclaims, his black beams with ruby red cracks of sorts shooting out of his fingertips
"Bombarda!" All Might cries out horrified when seeing a brown blur be thrown through the ruined remains of buildings but before she could make contact, she stretches her arm out, releasing a small explosion clearing the way as she is thrown to the floor, rubble raining down upon her groaning form, knocked out, where the last thing she sees is pitch black…
"I find myself conflicted Tomura has been the one to chip away at society's trust in heroes. So is it fair for me to land the finale blow? You know all might as much as you hate me I loath you more. I killed your master sure but you took so much from me. Everything I tried to build…so I want you to suffer until your last breath so you can die a broken and disgraced mess for all the world to see!" Proudly, All For One proclaims as he stretches his arms out as if the world was his stage before reeling his fist back for another strike.
"Watch it a big one's coming!" Torino warns his student as the two prepare for another heavy blow.
"Not everyone's so fast! I will obliterate everything you've protected!" Smugly, All For One proclaims as All Might gasps when noting his attack he thought was for him to be aimed behind him at the people behind him, swiftly, he takes said strike and as soon as the smog clears….
"First thing to go would be your self-disrespect and then your public image to show the world how pathetic you are symbol of peace. Hollow cheeks and sucken eyes to think you're everyone's hero. Now the adoring public know your true form try not to be ashamed. Your move…" All For One proclaims, placing his thumb on ether side of his cheeks feigning a smile despite the barren skin upon his face, his mask having been battered, beaten open revealing his lack of eyes, nose and mouth.
"Even as my body rots and growls frail even if you expose my weakened state in my heart I remain the symbol of peace and there's nothing you can do to take that from me." Seething, All Might shakily stands seething.
"Is that so? Oh well…I forgotten how stubborn you are I guess I'll just give up oh but there is one thing you might be interested to know. Tomura Shigaraki my apprentice he's Nana Shimura's grandson. I kept wondering what would invalidate your gold heart and found Tomura grew him to hate you and watch you smile so proudly as you beat your master's descendent." Smugly, All For One reveals taking All Might aback.
"…That's a lie." Shaken, All Might whispers horrified.
"Oh you know it's the truth it's clearly something I would do huh well, well that's strange all might where is your smile now?" Mockingly, All For One asks him.
"You….bastard." All might whimpers, his voice cracking breaking briefly.
"Hahaha how entertaining I think I've taken a piece of you after all." Pleased, All For One smiles at his small victory.
"Don't…lose keep…going…all might! We need you!" Feebly, a woman trapped from the debris called out.
"Fear not…young miss…I'm not done yet. You were right a hero has so much to protect in this world which is why I will defeat you!" Proudly, All Might proclaims.
"There it is that's the last of your strength isn't it All Might? A wounded hero is the most frightened animal. Did you know even now I sometimes dream of you charging at me with your entrails strewn across the ground? You have what? two or three punches left? Curious, One For ALL proclaims unfazed by the sad state of his enemy's body as just then as One For All prepared to deal the finishing blow, his gushing gales are soon meet by the hellish fiery flames of…
"ARE YOU SERIOUS!? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH THAT WEAK LITTLE BODY!?" Boisterously, the user of said flames flares up furious as the enraged Endeavour glares down at the supposed sad excuse of a shell that was the real All Might.
"Looks like we made it in time." Edgeshot remarks planting himself firmly upon the ruined remains of a platform of cement.
"Edgeshot! Endeavour…" Amazed, All Might stares shocked up at the two before him.
"That's your brat isn't it Kazz?" Endeavour stomps down making his way to Kazz, holding both the unconscious Sayako and trying to tend to Tsunagu knocked out cold.
"Yeah…" Kazz furrows his brow staring sadly down at the two in his care.
"Her arm doesn't look good." Edgeshot furrows his brow at the sight of the blonde's purplish arm.
"Nor does Tsunagu…Kazz furrows his brow, his grip tightening around them both, brow furrowed.
"Leave this to us." Edgeshot assures Kazz.
"Thanks…" Shakily, Kazz sighs furrowing his brow.
"Kazz…where's Bombarda?" Alarmed, Endeavour furrows his brow when noting the lack of the bombastic brunette.
"I don't know…" Kazz confesses brow furrowed making Endeavor's icy blue widen when hearing the news.
"Dammit Bombarda…" Endeavour curses scowling at the thought of the girl.
"Tsukauchi must have been expecting this he must have been worried for his friend." Edgeshot gathers.
"I'm surprised you took care of the nomu so efficiently…still I shouldn't be surprised from the man who crawled his way up to the number two spot." Amused, All For Oe exclaims impressed even.
"Dammit All Might…I did everything I could to get ahead of you but the harder I worked it became more obvious just how wide a gap between the two of us. The stronger you got the angrier I became. STAND UP AND SHOW THE WORLD YOU'RE BETTER!" Enraged, Endeavour snarls seething screaming at him.
"Endeavour…" All Might's bright blues widen when hearing his words.
"If the only reason you're here is to cheer him on then I prefer for you to remain silent." Scowling, One For All releasing a gale dispersing said flames thrown his way.
"Think again mad man we're here to assist." Edgeshot shoots out forming his leg into a thin paper like whip hitting at him.
"That's our job as heroes. You did your best mount lady!" Kamui strides in, swiftly picking up mount lady holding her close to him.
"All of you came." Touched, All Might stares shocked as Kamui leaps down to Kazz's side as he looks over at her.
"Of course we did we can't do much but if we can help just a little then we have fulfilled our duty." Tiger helps the woman who had called out to All Might earlier rushing over to Kazz's side as he looks over them both.
"Thank you." Thankful, All Might meekly smiles softly whimpering.
"You have to stop him All Might this personification of evil pros and citizens everywhere are praying for your victory. No matter what you look like you're still everyone's number one hero!" Edgeshot tells him as suddenly rocks spew out of the rocky confines of the debris.
"What the!? You're still alive you rat!" Seething, One For All roars releasing gale after gale of wind only to see the girl leap up from the ground, slamming her prosthetic into the ground throwing herself high in the sky as she attempts to slam her fist into him but he grabs at her wrist, tossing her away as she slams her fist down on the ground, steadying herself.
"I prefer cockroaches myself those fuckers never die!" Cackling, Bombarda hollers releasing an explosion making him hiss recoiling back from the sheer fierce force of the blast.
"About time you got up." Endeavour remarks seeing the girl land down next to him.
"That almost sounded like you were concerned!" Coly, she smirks smugly at him.
"Don't get ahead of yourself there!" Rudely, Endeavour snaps scowling at her.
"Good to see you care Endeavour!" Bombarda smirks smugly flicking her wrist adjusting her prosthetic.
"How pointless…." All For One sneers scowling down at the group below having had enough. He blows all the heroes away as they cry out being thrown aside as Kazz slams his sword down on the ground, his blues lighting up as each and every hero is grabbed and taken to safety, Endeavour and Edgeshot left behind by him alongside Bombarda to add as backup. The others however he makes sure leave the battlefield to get to the medics, leaving the dight for the number one hero and villain to finish each other off once and for all…needing to get medical treatment for his patient as fast as he could…
"The hell is he doing?" Befuddled, Bombarda furrows her brow standing by Endeavour's side as the wrinkled exoskeleton of All Might crouches before the defeated all for one slowly but surely raising his hand into a fist towards the TV cameras watching on…
"ALL MIGHT WINS THE VILLAIN'S NOT MOVING HE'S KNOCKED OUT! ALL MIGHT STANDS VICTORIUS! HE SAVED US YET AGAIN!"
"He shouldn't push himself!" Worriedly, Edgeshot points out panicked only then for them both to hear the disgruntled grumble of Grand Torino telling them…
"Let him be. He's still working. This is his last job, his final act as the beloved symbol of peace…" Pained, Grand Torino sighs sadly at the state of the hero as a silent agreement falls over the heroes, Bombarda's ruby reds meeting the seething snarling pair of icy blue blaring, blazing, burning with silent rage but he brushes it off, knowing they have more important things to do, knowing they have a job to do, knowing they have a job to conclude.
