Hello, Have you guys watched Godzilla vs Kong, that movie made me go crazy. I honestly thought it was a great movie in my opinion, but anyways lets go to the reviews.
Guest 1:
Maybe, you'll find out in upcoming chapters
Dat-boi-waddup:
I was trying to make the guard knocked out for while so Izuku could have time to take out the captain, I first thought 8% but I thought it was too weak for the guard to stay down long enough. And I don't think he could've killed him with 15%, he probably have a massive concussion though, I just don't think Izuku wouldn't be able to kill him because he knows he can't kill a person.
Ex Valor:
Thank you and you'll just have to find out, don't wanna spoil it for you and others.
Guest 2:
Probably not, I'll have to think about it but most likely not. Also I'm working on a special chapter at the moment so watch out for that.
draculyn28:
Thank you and Hello.
Shadow Joestar:
Thank you!
Tyrone7:
Well, we'll have to see.
gamecubenut:
Don't worry, she will tell him eventually and yeah I completely agree with you. There is no way Izuku would let Akame go through the pain.
keybladelight:
Keep your hopes up, it might happen.
Alrighty that's it for today. Hope you enjoy!
Chapter 16
The Ice Devil
Far away from the Capital was a small village. The village was covered in snow, a carriage came by with guards guarding it. The Carriage had delivered supplies to the poor village. But after that the carriage was now seen to be destroyed, along with the guards that were escorting it. It was a massacre, puddles of blood died the snow deep red.
A woman's face was skinned off and an old man's head was decapitated from his body. This man was an imperial official that had tried to change the inside of the Capital. Other officials were with him as well as they both suffered the same fate. As bodies were laid rotting. There were fliers that had the Night Raid Symbol.
At the Night Raid Base
Izuku was stretching his arms and his legs, He recovered from his wounds a week later. His right and left arm seemed to function normally. While he recovered, he had been resting but the Assassins wanted info on Eri's power. Izuku had told them her capabilities, though she lacked the power to fully control it.
Izuku finished stretching and turned around towards his training partner. Izuku then took his stance, his sparring partner, Akame, held her bokken and readied herself. Akame and Izuku had a short moment of silence before Izuku lunged at her. Akame waited for his first strike as Izuku reeled his fist back.
Izuku then came close to Akame as she swung her bokken, aiming for his head. Izuku then ducked under it and brought his right arm forward, Akame was already ready for the attack as she already had her left arm in a blocking position. But Izuku used his right arm to feint and swiftly brought his left arm for a left hook. Akame however had a fast reaction time and ducked under his swing, Akame jabbed the back end of the hilt of the bokken into Izuku's stomach.
Izuku grunted and skidded back, Izuku then recovered quickly but Akame was already upon him as she did an upward slash. Izuku reacted in time to dodge the attack, grazing his chin. Izuku then lifted his right leg up and swung it as hard as he could. Akame brought her bokken up to block the attack. She skidded back a few feet away, her face stayed neutral as she readied her bokken again.
Izuku then dashed towards her, Akame was watching his movements intently. Izuku was closing in on her, but then, in an instant, a fist appeared in front of his face. Izuku barely dodged it as he fell backwards onto the ground. "Ow…" Izuku groaned. Izuku then heard a hardy laugh as he looked at his surprise attacker. There stood Bulat with his wooden bo staff.
"Come on Izuku, you need to be aware of surroundings, you never know when a surprise attack could appear," Bulat lectured. Izuku rubbed his head and awkwardly smiled, "I'll try to remember that," Bulat smiled, "Alright it's my turn to face you, Tatsumi will be joining us as well," Bulat added. Tatsumi then grabbed a wooden sword as he gave Izuku his hand.
"Come on, this time we'll beat Aniki," Tatsumi exclaimed. Izuku smiled and then shifted it to a determined look, "Yeah!" Izuku grabbed his hand and lifted himself up. Izuku and Tatsumi turned towards Bulat as he stood there ready. Izuku and Tatsumi lunged at Bulat as they relentlessly attacked him. Bulat was deflecting their blows and dodging. Akame smiled at the sparring session.
After the Spar
Night Raid sat at the table as they started to laugh and tease Tatsumi and Izuku. Reason why is that they were completely demolished by Bulat. Tatsumi and Izuku did occasionally land hits on him but he took it like it didn't affect him at all.
And now the duo was covered in dirt and bruises. Tatsumi was getting bandages wrapped around his head by Lubbock, Sheele was wraaping is arm with bandages and Izuku was covered in scratches all over his face. Eri helped with the bruises by putting ointment on them and Akame was putting bandages on injuries that were leaking blood.
While they were getting treated, Mein and Leone were teasing them, well Mein was berating both of them. "Hah! Look at you both, you look pathetic," Mein insulted as Tatsumi was fuming and Izuku sweatdropped. "Would you shut up!" Tatsumi shot back at her. Mein smirked, "Why should I, at least I'm not the one covered in dirt," Mein added, "You're about to be flat chest!" Tatsumi shouted. The room went quiet as they didn't expect that from Tatsumi.
Mein was red, head to toe. She then started to shout at him, Tatsumi also shouted back. The rest watched the bickering, Najenda shook her head as she sighed. Leone was dying in laughter as well as Lubbock. Sheele on the other hand tried to calm both of them down but to no avail. Bulat was laughing alongside Leone and Lubbock. Akame and Eri just looked at the confrontation, they then continued to patch Izuku up.
Izuku was awestruck at how Tatsumi was brave enough to say that. Izuku then flinched a little as Akame lightly added ointment on his left cheek. Najenda then cleared her throat to get the attention of the team. "Though as much as this is fun to watch, there is news that's been going around," Najenda got the attention of everyone.
Najenda pulled out a piece of paper and placed it on the table. Everyone looked at the table, "A day ago four Imperial officials were attacked along with their guards, the attackers left these fliers around," Izuku read the contents of the paper. He put two together, whoever attacked the four officials was obviously trying to frame Night Raid for it.
"We're there any survivors?" Izuku asked, Najenda shook her head, "All of the guards were elite officers that were highly trained," Najenda informed. "Then whoever did this has to be highly skilled, or have Teigus like us," Bulat guessed. Najenda nodded, Tatsumi stood up, "We can't let them do this, they're faking and using our name for something we didn't do, we have to bring them down," Tatsumi exclaimed. Najenda smirked, "Indeed, this mission is in two locations, Two officials of the Capital who have been trying to change the Empire from the inside may be targets. Akame, Tatsumi, Lubbock, and Bulat, I'm assigning you for this mission," Najenda ordered.
"Roger," they responded. Najenda then turned towards Izuku, "Izuku and Leone, you will be observing Esdeath," the whole table went quiet, "Wait she's back!" Mein shouted, Najenda nodded, "Who's back?" Sheele asked. "Esdeath, the Capital's strongest," Bulat answered. He shifted his attention towards Najenda, "Why observe her, no offense but she's too dangerous to even be around," Bulat warned. Najenda nodded and turned to Izuku and Leone, "That's why I forbid you two to engage her in a battle, the last thing we want is you two to die," Najenda stated. Izuku nodded, Leone just smirked, "Don't worry boss, this green bean and I won't fight her," Leone reassured her.
Izuku had doubts as he knew she was interested in seeing this Esdeath, herself. Najenda sighed, "Alright all of you are dismissed," she dismissed them all. Izuku grabbed his plate and Eri's, but before he could do that Eri grabbed his hand, "Deku-san, please be safe," Eri pleaded. Izuku smiled at her, "Don't worry Eri, I'll come back promise,"
Akame looked at Izuku before heading to her room to get ready for her mission.
Near the Capital City
Leone and Izuku were roaming around the city checking to see if they could spot their target. "Man I'm bored," Leone whined, Izuku sweatdropped, Izuku wondered if it was a good idea to add Leone into this mission. Then it hit him, he doesn't even know what Esdeath looks like, he only heard of her abilities and feats. Izuku turned to Leone to ask about her but she was gone…
"Wait, Leone?" Izuku looked around only to see she wasn't near. Izuku stood in the middle of the street, lost once again. Izuku face paled, "How does this keep happening to me," Izuku muttered. Izuku then walked around for a bit to absorb his surroundings. There weren't many people around. Izuku kept walking around, until he heard a scream. Izuku went full alert and ran towards the scream. He then turned towards an alley to see a man holding a knife to a young woman's throat. "Give me your money now and no one gets hurt lady," the mugger said.
The mugger was scanning the young woman's body, he licked his lips, "I'll let you go if you can satisfy me," The woman's eyes started to well up tears. Before the man could do anything, Izuku straight kicked him in the face. Izuku had his mask on and had activated 5% of One For All. "Leave her alone," Izuku ordered. The mugger wiped some blood from his nose.
"Hah! You think you're a hero kid, big mista-" the mugger couldn't finish as Izuku amped up his percentage to 8% and swung his right leg to the right side of the mugger's face. His head collided against the wall so hard that it left him stunned. He was wobbling from left to right, Izuku took this chance to run towards the woman and grab her. He ran as far away as possible from the man.
After Izuku took the woman to a safe place, he let go of her, " Are you alright ma'am," she nodded but hesitantly, Izuku brought his hands forward to show her that he meant no harm but only for her to run away. Izuku stood there, he sighed. 'The Capital is broken to the point where no one trusts each other,' Izuku thought. Izuku kept walking around the streets. Whenever he saw someone in trouble he would go assist them, but after he did that they ran away from him.
Izuku didn't mind it though as it didn't matter since he was wearing a mask to conceal his identity. Izuku then took his mask off as he was craving for a snack. Good thing Leone left him with some money. Izuku then saw an ice cream bar and headed towards it. A man looked at him, "Hello, how can I help you," Izuku looked at his menu and just wanted to satisfy his hunger only for a bit, "I'll just have a vanilla ice cream please," Izuku answered while handing some coins, enough to buy the ice cream.
The man took it and smiled, "Coming right up," the man exclaimed and went to work. Izuku sat down on a bench that was nearby. While Izuku was waiting, he was also worried about the others. After he took his ice cream break he would go check up on them… or so he thought. After he received his ice cream, he started to eat it. While he was eating he didn't notice a woman with a General's apparel wearing a military cap. Parts of her cleavage were showing. Above her chest seemed to be a tattoo.
The Ice cream man noticed her and froze in fear. As if he knew who she was. Izuku paid no mind as his mind was somewhere else. The woman stopped in front of the man, "I'll have an ice cream please," the woman ordered, "O-Of course ma'am, this one is on the house," Esdeath shook her head and grabbed two coins and shove them into the man's eyes, "Just take it,"
The man quickly grabbed the coins and began making her ice cream. He quickly finished it, hoping for dear life. She grabbed it and sat down near Izuku. All while Izuku was still in a world of his own. Esdeath looked at the young boy who wasn't taking a bite out of his ice cream. 'Hmm, interesting,' she thought. Izuku was muttering inside his head until a cold feeling touched his hands, he realized his ice cream started to melt. He quickly snapped out of his thoughts and panicked while rushing to eat his ice cream.
But then he saw a glimpse of someone right next to him. He turned to see a woman with long blue hair and blue eyes, to a normal person she looked like she was apart of the imperial army. But he's encountered people that had an aura of killing intent but hers was an aura of a cold mass murder. Izuku felt his body stiffen as she stared back at him. 'What the who is she, I didn't even notice her. And what's with this atmosphere, it's like she's a demon, no, a Devil!' Izuku thought.
"Hello young man, nice weather it is today isn't it," she greeted him, Izuku tried to play it normal, "U-Um y-yeah, well if you call rain nice," Izuku tried to joke around, he was mostly trying to calm his nerves. Whoever this woman was, wasn't showing her killing intent but the aura around her screamed danger at him.
"So tell me what is a young boy like you doing out here," she asked. Izuku wanted to keep it short and to get the heck out of here as fast as possible. "Oh I'm just exploring around, and decide to take a break here," Izuku answered. She nodded and smiled. Izuku remained claimed on the outside but inside he was freaking out, his instincts told him to run. But he needed to remain calm, Izuku then tried to finish his ice cream as quickly as possible. He couldn't stay here any longer.
As soon as Izuku finished his ice cream and his cone he calmly got up, "It was nice chatting with you but I have to get going now," Izuku smiled at her. Esdeath widened her eyes a bit, a bright smile, that was on her list. Before she could ask him to wait, he was already gone. 'Hmm, interesting boy,' she thought.
Izuku dashed away, running into the alleys, he got out of there as far as possible. 'Who the hell was that,' Izuku thought. He was panting, it was like the air around her was sucking the air out of him. He then heard someone land near him. He quickly turned only to see Leone, "Leone, geez where did you run off to," Izuku sighed in relief. "Uh, yeah about that," Leone scratched her head. Izuku tilted his head, "Hm?"
Leone then told Izuku that she was spying on him and Esdeath the whole time. "You what!" Izuku exclaimed, "Hey not so loud," Leone shushed him. Izuku sighed, "Well at least you didn't attack her," Izuku stated. Leone laughed, "Come on green bean, I can be cautious," Leone reassured. "I highly doubt that," Izuku sweatdropped.
"Anyways let's go back to the base shall we," Leone suggested. Izuku shook his head, "I'm gonna check up on Tatsumi and Bulat, I'm kind of worried," Izuku informed. Leone nodded, "Alrighty, see you back at the base," Leone then dashed off.
Izuku then activated 15% Full Cowling and headed towards the location where Tatsumi and Bulat were assigned. It was raining hard, Izuku then stopped to see someone in grey armor in the alley. Izuku dropped down. The person in armor jumped and turned but relaxed as soon as he saw Izuku. "Bulat? Is that you," Izuku asked.
The armored person stopped and the armor started to disappear, to reveal Tatsumi. Izuku was stunned at this, "Tatsumi? What happened? Did you complete the mission?" Izuku asked. He looked around, "Where's Bulat," Izuku asked. Tatsumi gritted his teeth, he looked up. Izuku saw tears streaming down his cheeks. "A-Aniki...is not...with us anymore," Tatsumi stuttered.
Izuku stopped, both of them stood in the rain as Tatsumi broke down. Izuku was horrified, 'Bulat...is not...with us anymore?' Izuku couldn't process it, the rain kept pouring as Izuku stood there absorbing the news, he then felt something warm on his cheek. It wasn't the rain, the rain felt cold, this warm feeling was his tears streaming down his face. Tatsumi was holding a sword that did not look like his original, Izuku saw his original sword on his back. Izuku's eyes widened as they dulled. "Bulat...is dead?"
