Summary/Disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Contaminated Crusaders. Enjoy the 1200-word chapter. I don't own MHA Shonen Jump, Kohei Horikoshi and a few others do.

"Woo!" Mina yelled as the roller coaster did another loop. The Winding Serpent was becoming one of the funniest parts of the trip for Aace.

"THIS IS AWESOME!" Aace screamed, yelling to be heard over the sound of the wind. The coaster started to come to a stop.

Aace and Mina stepped off the ride while he cracked his back and hummed. Aace blinked as he hadn't done so the entire ride. He had also forgotten his father had chosen to let the duo ride without him. Part of Aace wondered if his parents just enjoyed his first friend here being a girl.

"That… Was a very fast roller coaster." Aace stated, not being used to the speed of the machine. Aace looked at Mina as the duo started to walk down the stairs. "Why did I let you talk me into getting on that thing?" Aace asked Mina as he brushed off his jacket.

"Because you enjoy the need for speed?" Mina asked before they reached the bottom step.

Aace blinked and looked around before spotting one of the men from before. He still looked slightly different, but beside the blackish version of the theme park uniform? It didn't look that out of place.

Then he looked slightly closer and noticed something, a small glint of silver on his belt that was slightly hidden from view.

A pistol, not something you'd have unless you were security. Security usually had their name embroidered on their uniforms. A way to tell someone who to look for to deal with issues. Plus, they had gloves. It wasn't fall yet; they wouldn't need gloves for a theme park.

"Oh, crap." Aace muttered, his voice but a whisper as another of his group moved in. Aace knew for a fact that these weren't security guards. Their poses belayed someone who wasn't looking for trouble makers.

"What?" Mina asked just before the man pulled his weapon from his holster. "Aace?" Mina said before the other 2 men drew guns as well.

"Run!" Someone yelled as people started to scatter. Aace wondered if they just didn't want to be in the area… Or if they knew the trio were not security.

"Someone find the damn safe, Theme Parks are MINT for hauling in money." One of the trios whispered before firing his pistol in the air. "Everyone FREEZE!" The guard replied as he looked to the groups of people.

"Their robbers?" Mina asked as the trio took cover behind a bench. The trio hadn't spotted them.

"I saw them right before we got on the roller coaster. I didn't think they'd be criminals." Aace said while he sighed. It made sense the more he looked at the trio.

Aace could bet there was more of them. The park was massive, that meant they had reinforcements.

Aace also guessed they were dressed not to draw security until they were inside. The gloves were simply to avoid leaving a trace behind.

"Mina, there's far more of them." Aace said before watching the trio moved out in a crescent moon formation. "We need to move." Aace said as he started to think.

One of the thugs was far more focused on hostages then anything else. The other two moved on without their friend.

Aace grunted and prepared a plan. His parents were probably all the way on the other side of the park. His father had told him about it enough times.

"I think we can handle one guy or 2 if we're smart." Aace stated as he looked over the bench at this.

"They have guns." Mina said which made Aace nod. "What are you going to do?" Mina asked her friend as he looked around.

"Do you think you can sneak up on the guy coming in?" Aace asked Mina who nodded. "I think I can deal with the guy taking hostages." Aace said before sighing.

Aace knew he could pick up larger items. He knew for a fact as well something that he could disarm someone.

Aace watched as Mina slowly snuck out from cover. He prepared his Quirk as Mina snuck around one of the stands.

Mina began to flick her acid onto the ground. She told him that her acid was slippery when created a certain way.

Aace smirked and then activated his quirk. He focused his attention on a garbage can. Aace flung his left hand to the side.

The man who held the gun felt his hand fling to the side. He was dragged to the side. Aace used his other hand to toss the garbage can.

The can whistled through the air, slamming into the man's head. He grunted before one of the hostages took this chance to tackle the man.

The two thugs turned and rushed back this way. Aace watched as they began to gain speed before starting to stumble.

They tripped on Mina's acid which sent then smashing into the floor, unconscious.

"Well, I guess that was a lot easier than I thought…" Aace muttered before rubbing at his head.

"You kids did that?" The man asked as he wrestled the thug to the ground. Aace grunted and nodded before flicking his left hand to the side. Aace watched the man's weapon fly out of his hands. The man was handcuffed which made Aace realize the man in question was a cop.

"Yeah." Aace said as Mina looked around. She blinked and walked over before Aace hummed. "Mi? I think we should try and find my parents. There's bound to be more thugs around here. I doubt 3 thugs planned to rob the park alone." Aace muttered and put his hands on his hips.

"Well, at least we won that fight." Mina said, Aace was sure she was trying to keep her voice down. "I told you we're well on the way to being heroes." Mina stated as Aace hummed to the side.

"Mi?" Aace asked as his friend looked at him. "We won that through blink luck. I wanted to knock him out. All I did was make him stumble. Plus? I guarantee there are more thugs around here." Aace said before the man looked at both of them.

"How do you know there's more, son?" The Police Officer asked as Aace wiped off his coat.

"They wanted to rob the theme park as you heard." Aace said before looking to the side. "If they were going to rob something like this? They'd need a large group of people." Aace put in before he heard a voice.

"AACE!" Aace and Mina heard which caused them to turn. His parents were rushing over.

Aace wanted to remind them of the acid. Them falling on the unconscious thugs did that already.

It did cause Mina and Aace to laugh in amusement.

Author Notes

Phew. Another chapter done! I want to point out that Aace and Mina are not supposed to be master heroes. I wanted to show how they could handle a few thugs and how Aace is more brains then brawn. Next chapter will show Aace and Mina riding to Aace's home and more bonding. Until next week or so. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!

P.S: Next chapter will be 900-1500 words and Rumi will be 1200 words or so.
