Chapter 8

The sun has almost risen as Qrow, Izuku, Bakugo, Nero and Nyx watch as All Might's skull gets destroyed and blood gushes out. Everyone watch as the new monster absorbs All Might's black box into its right arm.

Bakugo gets furious that he launch himself into the air with his quirk while screaming, "DIE, YOU MONSTER!" with tears falling from his face.

As Bakugo made it to the same level as the monster, Bakugo fires a barrage of blast at him while screaming his lungs out. Izuku's body starts to give off green electricity as he power ups his right leg. When Bakugo tries his armor piercing shot, the creature just swat it right before Izuku tries kicking him with One For All at 100%. However, the creature seems unphase much to Izuku's surprise. The creature grabs him and tosses him at Bakugo, sending them flying. Qrow tries to charge in with his Harbinger. The creature laughed at Qrow, but Qrow manages to slice off the three clawed hand that killed All Might.

The creature screamed in pain as the hand fall and turn into fifteen black boxes. When the first light of the sun appears over at the horizon, the creature up and disappears in a puff of black smoke.

Nero freaks out, "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT THING!?"

Nyx tries to explain, "I-I-I think that t-t-thing was...I don't know. Whatever it was, it must be the same kind of guy as the one who attacked our home. But more like something out of a nightmare."

"Yeah! You can say that again!"

Qrow pick up the black boxes as he says, "Whatever it was, it killed that superhero and took his black box." He put all the black boxes in his inventory, "Best to keep it for now."

Nero looks at his black box, "Now I regret having one of these now!"

"HEY!" Bakugo yells with Izuku carrying him with Izuku crying. He's still pissed as he cries, "JUST WHO WAS THAT!? THAT BASTARD KILLED ALL MIGHT AND I WANT REVENGE! ALL MIGHT IS THE GREATEST HERO AND NO ONE CAN BEAT HIM! NOT THAT MONSTER!"

"Dude!" Nero says to Bakugo, "All Might is dead!"

"SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP!" Bakugo shove Izuku and looks over the corpse of the greatest hero that ever lived back on his planet.

Izuku drops to his knees and cries. As the two cry over the loss of their hero, Cementoss appears with Midnight riding on a wave of cement.

"What happened?!" Cementoss asks as the wave of cement submerges.

Both of them look at where All Might died and realized that their greatest fear has come true.

"Oh my god." Midnight says in shock.

Cementoss look at the three new faces and asks, "What happened to All Might?"

Qrow gives a sad sigh, "I'll explain to everyone. Take us to whoever else is in charge."

Cementoss made another wave of cement for transport as Qrow explains the situation to them with Bakugo showing his hatred and want revenge. Cementoss wave travels through the city and it looks like they're in an area that is still under renovation before heading through an area where many buildings are in pristine condition.

"Damn!" Midnight says as she slams her left fist on her right palm. She's just as pissed as anyone else. "That's the last thing we need. Some nightmarish maniac coming along and killing anyone with those black boxes."

Nyx adds in, "Even worse. They can only be killed by anyone with black boxes."

Nero looks at Qrow, "Just ask Ruby and Qrow. Ruby was the only person to have black boxes. But after she chop off one of that guy's arms, that arm turned into black boxes and Qrow took one and killed the guy."

"Who's Ruby?" Cementoss ask.

Qrow responds, "She is my niece and a member of the Rooster Teeth Council, despite her age."

"That's one hell of a niece." Midnight states.

After hearing that only a black box holder can kill a black box holder, Bakugo, who was throwing a tantrum earlier, remains silent with an angry look on his face.

Izuku notices, "You alright, Kan-chan?"

"Not now, Deku." Bakugo says in an angry yet subtle tone of voice. 'A black box.' he thinks to himself, 'If I can get my hands on a black box, I will kill that bastard.' He looks at Qrow's left arm and plans to take one of the black boxes from Qrow's inventory.

Midnight says, "The creatures we fought against seem to fry-up when the sun is out and come out during the day."

Nero tries to act like a ladies man, "Really? And you figured out all that from just one night?" He tries to lean close to her with a smile on his face and woo her.

But Midnight smacks him in the face, "Now is not the time! Well, I would like to, but not now!"

Cementaoss looks up, "We're here."

The building they are heading towards to seems to be thirty stories high and have a Japanese oriental look to it with a green, Japanese-style roof. There is a large green emblem on it that looks like a Japanese bell flower, which is called a kikkyo. That is the symbol of the Hamato Clan. As they approach, they pass by a stone garden located close to the building with plenty of Japanese flowers, bamboo and statues of Fu dogs along with a pond that has a shishi-odoshi and full of koi fish. They made their way towards the front door with the wave of cement disappearing into the ground. The entrance has two bronze Fu dogs on each end with the left having its mouth open and the right has its mouth shut. The doors are the same as what you expect from a large city building. Automatic sliding glass doors.

Inside the building, there is a lot of Japanese-style decor with a large water fountain that has a twenty foot Asian dragon with water coming out of an orb in its left claw. Orange banners of the Hamato Clan are draped from the third floor balcony with the emblem being green, jade pots full of roses are seen on each of the corners and each have a different color and above is a giant hologram of the sky yet looks like an open building.

"Wow." Qrow says as he looks up, "This is one hell of a headquarters."

"One of them, actually." Midnight states. "This is one of the three headquarters that is run by the ones with the black boxes and by mutants. Like those teenage mutant ninja turtles you saw earlier. There is one to the south across the sea run by some of the other metahumans. Us of the Hero Association are located in the northern part of the city."

Izuku states, "It is also where we take classes to learn how to use our quarks more efficiently." He is still glum about what happened to All Might. "The reason for three different headquarters is because we need to fall back in case a section of the city is lost. It is also more efficient to-"

Midnight says to Bakugo and Izuku, "You two should head home for the time being. You two have done a lot already and get some rest."

Izuku is a bit hesitant as he grips his right arm.

"Fine." Bakugo says with a disgruntle sigh. "But let me blow some steam first before going to bed."

"Kan-chan?" Izuku is confused. Bakugo would never agree to do something so easily. 'Why would Kan-chan just accept orders like that? All Might's death must've hit him harder than I thought. Even more than me.' Izuku looks at Midnight, "Alright."

The two teens and Cementoss exited the building.

Yoko and Orion finally showed up with Yoko shouting, "Hey!" in a cheery mood. She approaches the others, "Man, you wouldn't believe what type of monsters were out there. I thought the Grimm were bad, but those things are more dangerous than them."

Yet Qrow, Nyx and Nero just look at them with sad looks.

Yoko looks at them and asks, "Did I miss something?"

Orion understands the situation and grabs Yoko's left shoulder. "Yoko. Best not to say anything for a bit until we know what exactly is going on."

Midnight says, "Since you are all here, follow me."

The six made their way towards the elevator and take it all the way up to the last floor at the top. The elevator opens to reveal something that looks like a dojo mixed with a Japanese throne room. The side doors open up to let in some light and torches automatically set themselves a flame. In the room, there are some humanoid rats at the end sitting on pillows. From left to right, we have Hamato Yoshi of the 1985 Ninja Turtles, there is Splinter of the 1990 Ninja Turtles movie, Splinter from the 2003 Ninja Turtles (Pre-Fast Forward and Back to the Sewers designs. To me, those shows never happened and I never want to discuss about them. Never EEEVVVEEERR.), Splinter form the 2007 TMNT movie, Hamato Yoshi of the 2012 Ninja Turtles. There is one seat that remains empty. All of these Splinters have black boxes. Holographic screens pop up to show some of the people that are defending this city and it is even being broadcasted throughout the planet.

2012 Splinter asks, "My we ask for your names?"

Qrow steps forward, "My name is Qrow Branwen, one of the people living on the menagerie planet not too far from here in the town of Rooster Teeth?"

"Rooster Teeth?" Spider-Man asks with a confused look with his mask.

"What kind of name is that?" Nightwing asks.

"It was a strange decision."

Nyx steps up, "My name is Nyx Alset. Leader of Team NYON."

Yoko steps up all peppy, "Hello! My name is Yoko Magenta! I love club music, machines and pizza!"

Some people giggle a little because of Yoko's up-beat personality, but some aren't.

Orion introduces himself, "I'm Orion Asterphos."

Then Nero shows off, "And I'm Nero Jiang. For anyone ladies that are single, I'm available 24/7!"

There is a moment of silence before Qrow discusses the situation.

"Before we get started, one of your people are dead. Some one name All Might."

Everyone is shocked to hear the news. All Might was the mightiest hero and the best weapon they had against certain foes.

"What happened to him?" 2003 Splinter asks.

Qrow explain what happened to him along with the news about people hunting down black boxes along with the sun going out pretty soon. Everyone murmur about this new information. But Qrow also explain about three Protoss arkships buried beneath three of the moons in the system.

But there is something bothering Nova, "If that guy is from the sun, why did he retreat?"

Erasure Head suggests, "Probably because our new friends here have black boxes and actually did some damage."

Miss Martian shouts out her opinion, "Then we have to find these arkships now! If we don't, then we'll all die!"

Everyone is in agreement of that as they voice their agreement.

"It will not be easy." 2003 Splinter states. "Not only we have this new enemy, we still have to deal with our other adversary."

"I agree." says 2012 Splinter. "We still have no idea where this Scion Shredder is, but we must resolve this issue real soon."

"Scion Shredder?" Yoko asks.

1985 Splinter explains, "This Scion Shredder appeared from nowhere eight months ago and killed two of us." He is referring to the Splinter from Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles along with those turtles and the Michael Bay Splinter and turtles.

2003 KC speaks, "Yeah! And that guy even have those black box things!"

Qrow receives a call from his black box, "Sorry, I have to take this." He walks away to answer.

"What's he doing?" 2003 Teen Titans Beast Boy asks.

Orion says, "He's answering a call through his black box. Turns out that you can communicate via radio with it."

Everyone, except Team NYON, look at each and are a bit surprise to hear such information.

Spider-Man says, "Wish we knew about that earlier."

2007 movie Splinter says to Spider-Man, "Indeed. Communicating with the others would've been a lot easier."

2003 April O'Neil says, "Guess we did all that work on the communication dish for nothing."

2012 and 2003 Splinters check their black boxes to see if they have the communication function in their black boxes.

As the others discuss on what to do, Qrow is catching up with current events and learned more about the Black Box Hunters from Ruby and learned about what everyone else is doing.

"Understood." Qrow hangs up and deliver some news. He approaches the Splinters half-way, "I got some bad news."

Everyone in the room look at Qrow to see what the bad news is.

"Turns out that killing those hunters accelerate the sun's lifespan and will go nova sooner than later. To make matters worse, one of our people killed the hunters on some blocky world. In other words, we have less time."

Everyone is shocked and are terrified to hear such news.

Hulk speaks, "Then we must evacuate the planet!"

"Agree." the Splinters agree in unison.

"We can't exactly get in my bioship!" Miss Martian says, "Not enough room for everyone!"

"How about we just build one?" Nero suggests. "I mean, anyone with black boxes can just build one as long as they focus on the necessities of the ship and nothing else and make sure there's enough room for everyone to get of this moon and head towards the next one. Everyone else have to bring in whatever supplies they can get. Plus if everyone else has a spaceship, they can use it to make a few trips around this moon and bring them here."

There was silence for a few moments in the room.

Nyx says, "That...is actually the best idea I ever heard."

Orion is impressed, "Every once in a blue moon."

"Wow." Yoko is also impressed, "That really is the best idea ever."

Nero gets upset at his teammates, "Fuck you guys!" he gives them the left middle finger, "My ideas are always awesome!"

But Nyx says, "Unless it involves a girl's phone number."

2003 Splinter stands up, "Then we are all in agreement?"

"Agree!" everyone says at once.

"Then we will commence the construction of a starship to head towards the nearest moon and leave the Scion Shredder to his fate."

Somewhere in the wastelands of this world, there is a Japanese-style castle where rusted Foot Bots guard the place as if they are some sort of robotic zombies while proudly bearing the sign of the 2003 Foot Clan while wearing the same uniforms from the 2012 Foot Bots. The place itself though looks like it is on top of a ruined city that have been abandoned long ago yet Foot Bots, organic mousers, malfunctioning robotic mousers and undead mutants roam it. Back at the castle, the giant Foot Clan symbol is on the tallest tower with a massive throne room above it.

In that throne room, a massive spiky metal throne that looks even more intimidating than the Iron Throne form Game of Thrones with spiky metal thorns sticking out, and weapons from the defeated turtles are part of it as they are slightly melted into it. On the top of this throne, two pelts made from two Master Splinters (Michael Bay movies and Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) drape over it. On the walls, eight turtle shells are hung by chains with two skulls of April O'Neils and one of KC Jones hanging above a broken chandelier. On the throne sits someone dressed like the Shredder but have neon green spikes on the helmet and neon green glowing eyes, a tattered purple cape, and a lot more buffed up while wearing metal armor made from scrap.

As the Scion Shredder sits on the most uncomfortable chair in the world, the monster that killed All Might shows.

"Greetings." says the Black Box Hunter. "You must be the Scion Shredder. My name is Shade Nightmare and I have a gift."

The Scion Shredder just give a curious grown as he takes an interest in Shade Nightmare's offer.

Shade rips his torso open and spews some sort of coffin from his insides. The lid of the coffin bursts open to reveal a corpse of a Shredder that has demonic teeth, its helmet and gauntlet.

The Scion Shredder says in a somewhat robotic voice, "The Tengu Shredder."

TO BE CONTINUED! Don't you hate cliffhangers?

AN: Howdy yall! How are you guys doing? I'm fine. Despite we have switched to yellow here, I'm gonna stay safe with masks and stuff because apparently our government and the local government are run by idiots. But that's nothing new. But I do have some news. For this summer, I'm gonna spend one week at the beginning of each summer month camping. Mostly for helping out some relatives that work at campgrounds. But for those that like my Food Wars and Shield Hero fanfictions, don't worry, you'll still get them.

Any who, hope you guys stay safe...and hope we get a better president. Later.
