"What is it?"
"Captain Celebrity?"
"He arrive nearly a year ago?"
"Hey, Isn't he one of the top heroes in America?"
"Is he strong like all might?"
"No. Of course not, Captain celebrity is so out of his league. He never ever in his life can rival all might"
"why is it getting noisy huh!?"
"..."The class begin to silence once again.
Their teacher stopped writing on the board.
"Continue your admiration to him later. Not in my class hours"said by the teacher as the writing in the board continue. Izuku was eavesdropping the stories of his classmates and couldn't help but smile.
It is true, That one of the top hero of America had arrived in Japan nearly a year ago. And always appeared often in Tokyo and Naruhata.
"It's a farewell party in the tokyo sky egg?"
"Yes. I told mom if I can go but I am not allowed to"
"Then I will try too. I don't know if my mom will agree. But I will make her agree at least!"
Fufu
Unlike his classmate, he is certain he will join the upcoming farewell party even in Tokyo sky dome.
Together with his neechan.
Speaking of his neechan, He look at his right and found the girl he currently looking at. The pristine jet black hair reaching down in her lower hips and bangs covering her left eye.
He doesn't know if the clock eye is in her left. But looking at himself. There is no clock eyes so he thought it is the same thing for his neechan.
"ya"
'Oh. she look at me'Izuku thought after seeing the girl he was looking at make an eye contact with small "o" shape mouth.
"riya"
Cute
Izuku look at her in bewilderment. Seeing her as if looking at him innocently.
"Midoriya!"
"H-Hai!"
"Where are you looking at!?. Here, answer this question!"His teacher pointed his stick towards the question in the black board. Wait what was his lectures discuss about?
"U-Um"
"fufuf."
He slightly look at his side and seeing his neechan facing her back while her shoulder trembling for unknown reason.
"Get out"
Since he can't answer the question immediately, he was force to stand in the hallway. For one last glance inside the room. He saw his neechan. Slowly waving her hand while she smile.
I am really unfortunate today
After their subject, he was once again allowed to go inside and take the next subject. Sitting beside the window looking at the peaceful life outside the classroom while waiting for his class to end.
Finally as he wished, the time for the dismissal of the class come and his last teacher for today finally dismissed the entire class.
"Ne izu-chan. Would you like to go in an arcade? after school?"Kurumi look at her side and speak.
On the other hand, Of course, Kurumi spoke up once again after class calling him.
Like she always do.
And it is lie when he says he doesn't like it.
"...Is it ok Kurumi-san?"Izuku who picking up his big yellow bag stopped and look back at her
"Do you really need to ask that? Of course. But if you don't want to-"
"n-no. It's not what you think! I-!"
"It settled then"Kurumi while smiling clap her hand and izuku make his own smile too.
'Onee-chan are really'Izuku thought.
Normally, His nee-chan ask him when after school or they already walking outside the school. That is suppose to be but when she ask it loudly where it can heard by his fellow students in the hallway.
That's a problem
"..."Izuku feel all murderous intent directed towards him and he doesn't want to know why. Piercing glare struck his body like they trying to melt him with their intense glare and resentment.
And yet they can't do anything. Physically that is.
"Well then"
"Huh?...E-eeh!"He smiled back but there is a sudden force making his body being dragged
Kurumi and izuku burst out to the building entrance running away from hallway as kurumi taking the lead.
"*sigh* innocence"Some teacher passed by looking at the happy looking two students running
Kurumi and Izuku arrived in the arcade, the establishment izuku sometimes went after school or weekend. He doesn't the only one thinking to go in the arcade, obviously his fellow students from other school or grade lower or higher than him playing inside.
"Izu-chan~ hurry up!"
"H-hai! Kurumi-san" They proceed inside the establishment as izuku pushing the double glass door.
"Izu-chan look"
Izuku find himself standing in front of one of the most obvious game in the arcade: The hook or hand that grab a stuff and throw inside the hole as a prize if you are lucky.
"Izu-chan"
".…"
"Do you think we will get even a single one?"
"W-well. I am not sure"Izuku scratching the back of his head.
"But let's try our best. Ne- Kurumi-san"
This crane-like game really drive him nuts in the other day or other time he play in this arcade. Because of the fact that the hook is too weak to grip something and ended up to fall before reaching the hole much to his despair.
"Then"
Kurumi grabbed his hand and place it to the button and control stick.
"Izu-chan. If that is the case, Let's catch the cat inside!"Kurumi place her hands to the transparent glass to better look the prize inside. Inside the glass, stuff toys with animal design are over the place waiting for someone to be claim
"...I'll try"
"Don't just try. Look look. We need to get the black cat plushie"
"Onee-chan you are greedy"
"n~? I'm already greedy long time ago. Fufufu"
"Really"Izuku smile as he concentrate to pick what his nee-chan want.
Ting
"Oh. I lost"He said while failing to grab the plushie he tried to pick.
"Let's try again Izu-chan"
"m!"
Izuku try again and insert another token and play. Kurumi in his side anticipating izuku to win it over.
second try failed again
"Again Izu-chan."
"m"
Third try failed again
"We will never stopped until we get what we want. Ne? Izu-chan?"
"Yes. we won't"Izuku smile wryly.
Fourth try failed again
"Um. Nee-chan?"
"Maybe next time we play, we will get it"
"But Nee-chan. this is the last token I had"
"This is the time it is worth to bet the last thing we had. for sure we will win it"
"m! I try again for the last time nee-chan!"Izuku gulp down his saliva and insert the final token in his pocket.
'Okay. I won't let nee-chan down. I will get it. I will get it. I will ge- No!'
The hook finally get something as the black cat plushie has been lift up
"Yes! Yes! I got it Nee-cha-!"
"The hook has no strength at all! I told you neechan! this is really a scam!"
Before the black cat plushie fall in the intended hole, it fell off midway. And so the fifth time failed again. Kurumi giggle as Izuku shock in disbelief. That is true, the hook has no strength at all. And it is intentionally designed to be like that.
"Then try this again" Kurumi hand him a single token and look at her in surprise.
"You sure onee-chan? But this is your token?"
"Just do it"
"...alright"Izuku receive the token and insert it in the coin slot. While Izuku concentrated in getting the plushie, Kurumi muttering something.
"[Me]. You know the drill"She said in low voice.
"Yes. [Me] leave it to me"Said by the clone under her feet and vanished.
At that moment
"Woooooooow. Izu-chan. You finally get it!"Kurumi clapping in delight looking at the plushie. He hold it as he smile cheerfully.
"m! m! Yes. I got it nee-chan!"
'[That's cheating. Kurumi]'
'Shut up'
The two celebrate in happiness. Just like an ordinary primary schoolers.
"Let's play another game. Look, let's check this out Izu-chan"
"m!"Izuku excitedly nod.
And until they used up all their token, the two continue playing inside the arcade. Izuku in his heart. He hope, this precious moment will continue for a long time. But even him or despite using his powers, it won't completely nor slow down time for the longer time.
He accept it.
Izuku and Kurumi walk together as faint twilight of the sun barely shining and replace by the darkness of the evening. Barely 2 hours of playing. For izuku it is just like 20 minutes passed.
"I think. this is where we part Izuku"Kurumi chim and halt her movement
"Yeah"
"The arcade is really fun. Isn't that right"
"Although I lose some of my money. It is really worth it!"
"Fufufu. Don't be like that."Kurumi giggle and stopped once they already arrived in the intersection.
"I will see you tomorrow as always. Izuku"
"7 am Sharp!"
"Yes. Sharp. Good night Izuku"
"Good night Neechan"
And a week passed like usual.
"Izu-chan!"
"Ah! Kurumi-san"
"Are you ready?"
"Mmm!"
The two promise to meet near at the train station and now they are on the way to the party.
The Tokyo sky egg farewell party.
It is the farewell party by a foreign hero who spent a year in this country specifically active in Naruhata. And base on the news, other top heroes will be all present in the party as well.
That may the reason why Kurumi see Izuku's eyes sparkling in delight while holding his favorite notebook which purpose is to write the information of all the heroes he observe.
[Welcome to the Captain Celebrity final show at Tokyo sky egg!]
Once they arrive at the bottom of the tower, A voice coming from the speakers above the tower are loud enough even from the ground floor.
"Wait isn't that Present Mic!"
"Present Mic?"Kurumi ask
"Yes! He is a sound hero! I mean He's quirk is mainly by using his voice! And he even has a radio stations and you can listen anywhere in the country!"
Right now, Kurumi and Izuku was in the main entrance of the said tower, with crowds falling in line, The two was on the last of the line.
[Please pay attention to the following announcement]
[Ticket holders. Proceed to the entry gate and line up in orderly fashion!]
"Form two lines, Folks!, Nice and Easy!. Merchandise is over this way!"
The staff called out trying to maintain the order and line of the incoming people going to the entrance.
Since it is march, it is so hot especially at noon. Although Kurumi and Izuku has no problem with it due to the fact that the reiryuku controlling majority of the function of their body, they still feel the humidity in the area.
And people are slow to get inside the tower and for that the cause, anyone will be surely complain.
Kurumi look at Izuku with a knowing smile.
"Do you think what I think? Izu-chan?"
Izuku who is looking at the front, look at her as if she already made a crime.
"Neechan. That's illegal"
"It is not illegal since we already bought the tickets"
"But is that okay? what if we got caught?"
"Don't worry. Izu-chan as if we already violate the law. And by the way, I know a place where we can teleport without raising suspicion"
"Okay"
Kurumi hold Izuku as she drag him in the back of the toilet and jump inside the shadow together. Then they appeared near the entrance but in a blind spot where it really won't suspect them.
"There's no other people right?"Izuku keep looking back and forth seeing if there is really no witness. Once he confirm, he sigh in relief.
"Of course. Saa. Shall we go Izuku?"
"Mmm! Let's go to the closest row seat Neechan!"
Izuku delightfully jog in a hallway while kurumi following him from behind. The crowd's cheer is getting louder and louder as they get closer inside the stadium.
"Woaah"
Kurumi hear his astonishment once they finally got inside the event itself. Sea of People cheering and shouting on each of their seat. Just like her expectation, it is too much noisy for her liking to be in here anyway.
'Since I am here with Izuku. I let this slide'
"Kurumi-neechan!. Let's go to the center!"
"Then. Let's go"
"Hai!"
Izuku grab her hand and move. Since Kurumi currently in the body of 10 years old(Using fourth bullet), The two have the similar height and size that's why, they can easily maneuver and barge in the sea of people inside. They keep making their way until they finally get closer to the stage.
After a couple of minutes later, the stage light turn on as well as the music and the sign of the beginning of the party.
[It's him!]
ZOOOOOM
[It's Him!]
[It's her!]
[And them!]
[And them too!]
[Shing brighter! Faster! and Stronger!]
The crowd's cheer getting louder and Izuku join the fray while Kurumi just there smiling while peeking at Izuku then also look to the heroes.
[With each quirk more awesome than the last…]
[It's a who's who of japan's greatest heroes!]
The party continue and the crowd keep on cheering and cheering while Kurumi can only do is observe for now.
[But hold on to your seats!]
[Cuz we've got one mighty invasive species busting in!]
[That's right!- The man who came soaring from the U.S.A. A man whose flight quirk sent him zooming up the American rankings. He's been top-ten material for ten years running, ever since his debut!]
[Give it up for... CAPTAIN CELEBRITY!]
Kurumi looking up and see the man with goggles? while wearing a generic hero costume flying towards the stage. The party looks average for kurumi's opinion. And as expected, fans cheering and clapping as their signs of supports to all the heroes in the stage.
Looking to the other side, there is a group different from the crowds cheering on. They raising a flag with each of them wearing their middle school uniform. They more like a typical deliquents in the area but it looks like they part of the party crew somehow.
"[If it's not for Izuku, You wouldn't bothered coming here don't you?]"
"Naturally"
"[Sigh. You only know what to do is to look at the cat, pet the cat, and take care a cat]"
Even from her home world, Kurumi's free time always associated with cats. Whether it is the original of herself or clones just like her. There's no free time [They] had without any cats on it.
"[Now. You have something to do other than doing anything with a cat.]"
"I like cats. And that's the fact. Doing other things without cats wouldn't be considered profitable"
"[How about right now?]"
"I make an exemption"
Looking back at Izuku, Kurumi raise her brow in curiosity.
"Izuku?"
"There is present mic, Ingenium, edgeshot, rabit hero mirko,midnight, best jeanist, Desutegoro, sniper, laundry hero wash, Captain celebrity from america, the wild wild pussycats and the other more"
Even being at the middle of the party, Kurumi sees izuku jotting down notes ignoring all his surroundings.
His antics never change and she couldn't help but smile.
"You can write later Izuku" She whisper in his ears since the surrounding are full of noise coming from the cheers in the crowrd and those heroes on the stage.
"On-Kurumi-san, Mmmm. I may forgot it so. It would be better If I finished it all at once!"
"Alright, But let's enjoy the party until it last. Izuku"
"Mmm!"
This is their first time being together in this kind of event.
Although in just a span of year, they've done mostly training and teaching him to stabilize his control over the power he now possessed. There is just rare occasion where the two just being together outside of training and school.
Just like a month ago, She invite him to her house and cook. If only things like incoming threat or villains or super powers doesn't exist, maybe this world is the same as her world without spirits.
And if possible she's living here instead of her home world, Maybe she was really just a normal kid attending school. Maybe she befriend Izuku.
Peaceful and Normal
That should be a perfect ideal.
But the reality is different.
Superpower exist, supernatural exist, villains, heroes exist, threats to human life exist.
So Kurumi as much as possible, she want to make this peaceful event become one of the memorable events for izuku and of course not only him but also for her. That's her thought right now as she put a smile.
"[Me]. It's emergency"
As if the fate against her will. A sudden commotion happen behind her back at the most precious time she had. Kurumi frown yet she replied.
"What is it?"
"Multiple villains spotted flying and heading in this tower"
The timing is really bad. They are in the party. But still in the realm of expectation as someone decide to make trouble inside the party.
"Keep vigilant, do not engage"Kurumi close her eyes and replied.
"[Me]?"The clone stiffen before asking her in confusion.
"I said, don't do anything. Sit tight, and let the heroes, do their job"She continue.
It's not always she will act now and fight the villain.
"This time, I am just a simple civilian as well as izuku"She might be vigilante but it is not her responsibility to always chase against the villains or criminals.
"Alright"The clone who called her had disappeared.
BOOOOOM
At the moment where the clone left, the explosion was loud enough to surpass the partying crowd in the middle of the party.
"So is this what are you talking about"Kurumi said with little hint of displeasure
The crowd including her felt something vibrate and explode.
"[Me] A suicide bombing villain hit the tower. Their intention is obvious. And [Us] Discovered there's a lot of them. They look all the same"
"What do you mean they look the same?"
"Bio-engineered Humans"
"..."Kurumi didn't say more as she fully understood everything.
The fact that chuunibyou was involve.
"At this rate, they will destroy this tower"
"What a party popper huh. I should dispose him much earlier"Kurumi sigh.
EVERYBODY LISTEN UP!
This nasty shaking? This downer of a black out?
It's all caused by an earthquake!
That's what they're telling us!
Until we get the Green light, I'm gonna need you fine people to sit tight
Kurumi and Izuku hear the announcement, Present mic use his quirk instead to use the mic to explain the situation.
'If that chuunibyou was involve. It won't end in a simple incidence' Kurumi thought.
"Izuku"
Izuku who is in her side look at her confuse not knowing what is on her mind. But there is no time to explain the situation.
"Let's go outside"She said and Izuku understood what she mean.
BOOOM
Koichi has only one thing he need to do and is to protect the man who hold the entire dome together from collapsing.
"That exploding villain...-is coming back!"He shout as the creature with wings but has no eyes is flying towards the American Hero as it's right hand turn into a shape of an iron mace.
"Every time it tries swinging one of those bomb punches at you, cap, I'll fire off a shooty-Go-Blam and stop it!" Koichi hit the creature with energy like projectile and deflect the iron mace shape hand triggering an explosion.
"And I've gotta keep sliding around so I'm in the right spot to protect you,cap"He was sliding below at the tower and attempting to shoot off another energy beam.
"Wha-!"
"Whoa, There boy"
"Oops!, thanks for that..."
He was too focus that he forget he also need to focus too in his footing. if it's not for Captain Celebrity catch him on time, he will surely fall off.
"You get careless and if you take a dive, There will be no one to assist me. And if I get taken out, no one will hold this tower. Which would mean, the dome and the 50,000 people inside all come crashing down. All because you got careless!"
"Yeah I know! No need to up the pressure"
"HA HA HA. So hang in there boy"
"Um, You having fun over there, cap? I'm not sure why you are smiling about"
"Sorry about that, boy. Just something on my mind. I'm facing down an exploding villain, and I hold the lives of 50,000 civilians in my hands. I've never encounter such a crisis like this. Which means even an Idiot like me can't get this wrong!"
"Please stop explaining how terrifying this really is!-AH!"
"Looks like it's making a big old combo fist this time!"
"HAAAAH!"
BOOOM
"I can't get another shot in time!-Captain!"
He expect that after the punch the creature's hand will explode. But after it punch the American hero, There's nothing came out. He thought he was done for.
"Someone had stop this creature-Wait. It's Eraser head in the helicopter"
The underground hero, Eraser head just erase the quirk in time. Saving him as well as the people in the dome.
"But still the villain trying to escape in the blind spot-Huh?"Koichi keep looking at the bioengineered creature.
"You won't get away, villain"
"oh, that's-"
"[That's one of the guest heroes, Best jeanist! -What's he even standing on?]"
"[Airborne escape team, Reporting in!]"
"[We've alerted the authorities and personnel]"
"Now switching to villain take-downs!"
"So our thread of hope. Has not snapped yet"The top 3 hero said.
'This guy is really something' Koichi thought
"Things are being handled by the heroes satisfactorily"Kurumi said as she observe the heroes knocking and tying the bio-engineered creature.
Don't get her wrong, she has no intention to intervene at all if there's nothing major happen.
"Nee-chan, don't get too close. They may spot you out there"
"Don't worry, they won't" Both kurumi and Izuku are in their astral dress observing the scene unfold outside from their shadow.
This bio-engineered creature was sent here in an obvious plan. Trying to destroy the tower with fifty thousand people inside.
If not for the American hero continuously supporting the dome and the continuous support from the hero, the foundation of this tower will collapse and a tragedy will surely happen.
"There's nothing much to do here"Kurumi said as Izuku look at her in wonder.
"Eh? Should we use the fourth bullet to restore the pillar neechan?. It looks like it will collapse in any time soon despite Best Jeanist using carbon fiber to support the tower"
It is true that the carbon fibers supporting the entire dome and easing the burden the American hero shoulder's.
But looking at those pillars, it slowly making a crack.
"Your just wasting your power Izuku. Let this heroes handle the situation. Just sit tight"
"Okay"Izuku said while moving around in the shadow observing the things outside.
"[That guy was watching as well AFO]"
kurumi froze after hearing mika muttering and ask in curiosity.
"Who is the other guy?"
"[A serious die hard fan of O'clock]"
"That vigilante?"
"[Yup]"
"Nee-chan who are you talking to?"
Kurumi jolt in surprise and slowly look back.
She saw Izuku looking at her in wonder. Wondering whom she's talking to. Not knowing what to reply, kurumi scratch her head a little bit and smile.
"!. Ah eh, I'm talking with my clones. Nothing serious"
"Mmm.. It's unfair that you can have a clone but, can't I just have my own Nee-chan?"
"It will be best for you not to create your own clone for now"
"mmm"Izuku took her reason in consideration.
'I'm lucky, he took the bait'
'[I also forgot he's also here in the shadow]'
'It can't be helped then.'
"[Me], We already spottted the mastermind behind this attack"A clone appeared in the shadow and whisper in her ear
'[Me] Switch places with me. I will deal with him alone'
'Alright'
Kurumi left as her clone replace her for the mean time. And at the same time in the real world, the fight between the pro heroes and the bioengineered creature continue as the latter keep retaliating.
"That villain! It is escaping!"Izuku shout and the assigned clone look at the outside world.
The creature manage to escape from the thread and fly towards the damage pillar as the heroes chasing from behind and it seems like ballooning up and it is not a good sign. Izuku had expected what will comes next
BOOOOOOOOM
"Nee-chan what shall we do!?"
'It seems this incidence cannot be solve by these heroes alone' The clone kurumi thought.
If it's the dome was on the ground, the heroes is capable to defeat this creature as the civilians are easy to be evacuated.
But things different if the dome is in the tower.
Tokyo sky egg.
The tower which can occupy 50,000 people inside.
Right now, the party was postponed because of this creature blow up and damage foundation of the tower.
Clone Kurumi had decided,
"Izuku, prepare the second and the fourth bullet"
"Hai!"
"No denying it- We need all might right now"
"Any way, can you get him here. Tsukauchi?"
"Jeanist's quirk is holding the tower, but only a thread supporting the entire dome. If this creatures has another trick up their sleeve, even all of us together might be powerless to stop this"
"B-But, I can't call the number one hero as a mere precaution"
"I get that goes against in a regular police procedure. But we're dealing with an unprecedented crisis here."
"The basic procedure is already useless. Don't you have a hotline or something? To get in touch with him in emergencies?'
"I...I don't have"Tsukauchi frown as helplessly watch the incidence from the helicopter.
Surge of memories flooding his brain from different events in his life. some are good and some are bad. And that involve a certain person whom dearest to him.
'Makoto. please be saf-'
BOOOOOOOOM
"No way…"
"The tower"
The crowds below was frozen in shock as the bright explosion hit the pillar of the tower causing the crowds and heroes to shield their eyes in brightness.
"The tower is now collapsing!"
The tower whom both civilian and heroes currently occupying with an estimate population of fifty thousand inside. And the tower is tilting further with it's sturdy pillars bending as well the carbon fibers securing and supporting the tower together are now cutting off one by one.
One thing that all this people thought in common
Who will save this people
Who's hero capable to save everyone inside
Now that the number one hero currently not in japan but in america.
The time is ticking, this tower won't even need a minute to fall in the ground.
The tower is so high and if it falls from the above. It is already obvious what will happen next.
"All"
"might"
"All... might"
"All might!"
A plea
A desperate plea
To someone who wishing a miracle to materialize
A hope to cling on
"Second bullet..."
from a small hole that connects the reality and the shadow, A hand emerge holding a pistol containing a power to resist the inevitable.
"Bet"
BANG
BOOOOOOOOM
"Get it now?"
"This catastrophe was already done and you people just didn't realize. There's no turning back the clock. No fighting against the fate"
"Only a GOD can save you now"
"Really? You really flatter me"
"!?"
"Isn't this entertaining? Having A fireworks even it is still a day?"Kurumi saw how the man in question look at her in shock and questioning how she end up here
"Who is this? a cosplayer?"
"[No. 6 withdraw]"
"Huh!? withdraw!? Why would I?"
"[She's beyond your power]"A warning came from the ear piece left him confuse and upset
"Do you think I am scared by a mere cosplayer?"He said in irritation.
Looking at the appearance of the girl in crimson-black dress in a maid outfit. She doesn't even exert any malice or negative aura or something like that.
"[She's an exception]"
"You're overestimate he- huh?"
Glancing at the Tokyo sky dome, Number 6 was frozen in spot after seeing the tower that is supposed to be collapsing was suspended mid air.
No, after just a brief moment, his target, the tower was covered in black like shadow with crimson outline revert back to it's initial place like a video that has been reverse as if nothing happen.
[News: Look at the tower! The tower is not collapsing anymo-! It is getting restored!?]"
The crowd outside the tower was shock before turning into cheer.
"Did she.."
he was speechless while looking at his phone and his front trying to cover his shock with arrogance tone of speaking.
"So your quirk are reverse huh!? is there anything special?"
"See it for yourself."The girl just point her gun
"Ha..haha..Hahahahahaha"He laugh
Is she nuts?
To think, she was just using a hand gun.
"Do you think you can shoot faster than my speed?"He find it ridiculous. No one can shoot him, not even the fastest bullet can hit him while using overclock. Unless it is something like rapid fire weapon like Gatling or something that can fire large amount of bullet at once.
Yet the girl just smile. Not a sincere smile but a wicked one.
BANG
"-!"
The bullet grazing his cheek
"I really wonder?"With a mockery to his statement, The girl smile
"Don't think you already won!"
He was agitated as well his blood boiling in anger after the feeling he was underestimated. He immediately use his quirk to dodge an incoming bullet then speed up his mind as well his body and shorten his distance between
Once he grab her, He will choose if he will break her neck or slicing her throat for underestimating him. Either way. She already done for
Or so he thought.
"Gotcha"He try to grab the girl but immediately pale after it disappear like a smoke.
'Afterimage!'
Now that he understand why his master telling him to escape. But it hurts something on him. Someone capable other than all might capable to match or even going beyond his speed.
It's not time to soothe his wounded pride.
"Already done?"
"Hiie!"He felt a cold barrel struck in the back of his head.
Why!?
How is this happen!?
How come she was faster than me!?
How t-
BANG
A figure of a man lying with pool of blood soaking his upper body. Specifically, the blood came from the decapitated head.
"He has a good speed quirk"Kurumi commented.
"[It's not really a speed quirk but speeding up his brain function.]"
"Is there any villain involve in this incidence?"
"[The bio engineered man and this die hard fan is the only villain here]"
".…"
Kurumi pause. The villain who interrupt her free time with Izuku has been captured plus this guy.
"[You know, this guy has a gloomy past]" As if mika try to reason why she should let him live.. Kurumi froze from her spot and look up to the sky with a dry laugh
"And? Should I take pity on him?"
"[Really. Heartless as ever]"
"He choose this way of life in his own volition. Then he must be prepared on what comes next"
Kurumi make a one last glance in the corpse before turning away. There's nothing more to do here and she walk away leaving behind to anyone who may found this corpse.
Then a door leading to the lower floor open and a large figure emerge with sniping riffle in his hands
"I am going to snipe him from afar. Too bad. You take him down before I can"
"Isn't this your top fan? Oguro-san? You won't feel bad right?"
"Nah. He just too much. Besides, he is the one who receive my quirk from that Man"
"Oh. the very same man who stole your quirk?"
"You know?"Oguro narrow his eyes in suspicion.
"I have my own ways"Kurumi gives a knowing smile and starting to leave
"I leave the clean up to you"Kurumi walk out from the rooftop and said before entering inside the shadow
"Where are you going?"
"To my business"
Oguro see a figure of a 17 years old looking girl cosplaying with crimson-black maid outfit disappeared from the shadow.
"You never change"
Oguro once again, reminiscence the past
A man holding a picture while staring into it while giving a serene look.
"This is it"
Looking at the highest building in the Tokyo. He made the shortest route to went above.
He is now entering the domain where it is possible he will be killed in instant.
It is not like he was exaggerating, This is one of the places where he knows it will be hard to turn back once he already stepped in.
"Ara?. I never know I have a guest this night?"
This voice.
A voice where already become a sweet melody for a someone will experience death.
It is a voice still transitioning to be a woman.
A girl
Matching the a color of a moonless night, the pristine hair tied in unbalance twin tail.
"..."
"May I know, What is your business with me?"
She smiled, a very harmless smile. Yet he knows that smile. The very same smile witness with horrors by her helpless victims.
"..."
She is the most wanted vigilante not only in japan. But in the planet.
She is the sole reason why the crime rate has lowered significantly.
"You won't trying to find me just to stare at me?"
Yet, No one knows where she came from, Not even scanning her face create any image as if it was intentionally blurred and not existing.
The only thing he knows is that she is always here.
This high rise building.
It wasn't the highest structure in the Tokyo but considered high with a flat roof top. Every single night, using the telescope, he always manage to see her and what she was doing. To his surprise, she just stand there observing the city from the above. He conclude that the location she is at now, is part of her territory.
So that's why he made up his plans. Now that he can easily see her if there's something he needs. It is the right time to see her.
He needs her
In order to see her again.
"My daughter"He said while observing if there is a change in her mood.
"..."she remain silent and seems like urging him to continue.
This is his chance.
"I-. may I ask the whereabouts of my daughter"
Oguro trying to be polite as much as possible as well as to see how the most wanted vigilante react.
"Is that it?"
"..."
"You see. I am not a lost and found booth. If there is nothing else. leave"
"..."Yet he never left.
"I warn you"
"I need your help"
"Use your own connection to find your rebellious daughter"
"Rebellious daughter-!?. How did you-!?"
"Of course. I have my ways"She smiles.
Oguro has his sweat run down from his back and replied.
"Compare to my own. With your vast network. I am sure you will find her easily. I am certain, She's just in the capital"
The reason why there's a lot of villains, corrupt organizations, or corrupt government officials brought down at a time is because of her.
Her frightening information network she had.
Be it locally or internationally, There is no a single week passed without black organization been brought down or corrupt people killed.
And that nearly impossible feat is none other than her's. The girl he was looking right now.
That's why he need her; her information network to locate his daughter as soon as possible.
"What can you offer?"
"..."Oguro froze in surprise.
Does that mean...
"If there's a work, then there's a payment"she says.
What can he give?
He's not rich. He's a retired pro hero. Beside his pension, Is there anything valuable he can give to her?
"I will do everything"
"You will. do. everything huh?"Kurumi scratching her chin a little and smile
.
.
.
"Where is it?"
"[I will send to you the next batch tomorrow]"
"So there's no work for today. I may as well take vacation"She said.
The experiment is about making an instantaneous villain. The drugs that will be delivered to her is a liquid drug in small container enough for her bees to carry.
"Although I will feel sad if there would be no experiment today"
That said. Any person that was sting by her bees contain the drug, Their quirk will become out of control as their sense of reason lost. But right now, since the drug is under way in its delivery, she may as well take a break until then.
"Then count me in"
A voice coming from behind prompting her to react immediately.
"!?"
"Ara? Is that a no? Alright. if you don't want to"
"Who's there!?"
Step
Step
Step
"Me alone"
The girl reappeared from a dark alley smirking while pair of red and yellow eyes staring at her as if she finally found her prey.
Kuin Hachisuka openly shows hostility
"How did you end up-"
"Secret~"Point her index finger to her lips. She said her word playfully like it is nothing at all.
Dressed in a red black dress, she gave off an aura that make her skin crawl. This woman is dangerous. Even without her assessment. It's her instinct telling her.
"My bees"Some bees appeared out of nowhere and trying to attack the girl and giving her time to escape if its really dire.
"Heh~? We still having conversation? why in a hurry?"
She appeared in my front!?
In a blink of an eye, The girl appeared in her front in unbelievable speed.m Kuin has chill run down in her spine and step back in surprise.
"Don't get in my way!"
"Ara ara, what if I say's no?"
"you ask for it. Come all of you"Something was crawling out of her skirt and followed by another and another.
"Nasty. Truly nasty"The girl sigh while shook her head side ways.
Those things that crawl out under her skirt are her bees and starting to fly around until their numbers are getting larger and larger. The swarming bees immediately surrounds the girl in red black dress.
"Hah. Did you like it?"She was smirking in mockery despite some sweat rolling down behind her cheek.
"Like it? It's awfully disgusting. You surely have some unique quirk"
"Of course, this is the most unique quirk and this is mine after all"
"Even though, that body isn't yours"
Kuin after hearing her words, shown more hostility.
"That truth, I won't let others to know that"
"Oh you're going to silence me?"
"Don't worry. I am not inhumane to not let the police found your corpse. I guarantee you will only be left with your bones in the ground"
"That's really a wonderful delusion isn't it?"
"Then I will make sure to turn it into reality!"
The bees finally attack and point their stings towards the girl making sure she was surrounded in all direction.
Kuin did not see her move nor attempt to escape but remain in her position until being engulf by numbers of bees.
"What a joke, you are talking high and mighty and now what-"
"Hey, I'm here you know?"
The feeling of cold barrel struck at the side of her head.
"H-How"
"Secret. One wrong move, you're dead"
She never see her to escape, How could she able to be in her side!
Kuin was panicking inside while sweats rolling down in her cheeks.
Fear already crept out of her heart as she don't know what happen or how this sudden event happen, but she knows, this girl who pointing the gun in her head has inhuman speed that not even the normal eyes could follow.
'I can't end here like this' She thought. Thinking and thinking, she ask herself how to escape in this situation. She only need a quarter of a second to escape.
She silently make contact with 3 bees before going behind the girl. It is obviously what she is planning. She will sting the girl and that moment, the girl will be surprise.
'This is my chance 3. 2. 1'
She ordered her hidden bees to attack the girl from the behind and at the same time escape
Kuin glance at the girl who had hetero-chromatic eyes but due to poor light condition, she still can see albeit with difficulty.
She move as fast as she can and ordered all the remaining bees to attack the girl.
'This is it! I-'
BANG
"Do you really think I am that naive?. Oh right, she can't hear me anyway"
Kurumi said while crushing the three bees with her left hand trying to sting her skin but no to avail. Thanks to her astral dress that gives her protection.
Now her target, Kuin Hachisuka was left frozen in place. It is not her name but rather the parasitic bee who invade the host. The bees that is flying everywhere were left in disarray not knowing what to do as they can't communicate with their queen. Kurumi see this and spoke.
"Throw that pheromone"
"You don't need to tell me"
Something was flying and the bees go after it and occupy that thing.
BOOOM
As all the bees occupy the bomb, it goes off blowing all the bees together. Kurumi who just step aside and look at Oguro.
"You only have 10 minutes to take the queen bee out of her left eye"
Instead of replying, The bulk man appeared. He prepare all the necessary tools from syringe to other medical tools.
"Five minutes is just enough"He said lowly.
"You wouldn't mind if you take care of all the mess here. do you?
"You leaving?"
"This contract is finished. There's no more reason to remain"
"…"
"You got what you want. And I hope you will fulfill your promise"with such a little sentence she had said, she walk away.
Oguro sees Nightmare disappeared inside the shadow.
At present time.
Oguro was left with a lying figure decapitated on the ground.
"Sigh. There's a lot to clean up"
The person lying on the ground decapitated is a person that has his quirk transferred to him. At the same time, this person is one of his die hard fan who really stepped it's boundary as a fan. Just thinking about it made him groan in pain.
"Although this closure put her involved" Once again, he was in debt to her.
"Oh did you get him?"
"I am"
"Judging from your rifle and the damage, it looks like you are lying"
"Would you believe if someone shoot before I could do'
"The evidence is too obvious. I can't argue with that"
The guy just arrived right now, is one of the detective of the police force. As well he had long time connection with even before his quirk was stolen.
Eizo Tanuma.
"Sigh. Did you met her close up?"Tanuma said while scratching his chin.
"I am taking aim from another building. I can only observe from scope"Oguro replied while staring at the corpse.
"Too bad. I even hope she talked to you or something"He sigh in exhaustion and walk closer to the corpse in the floor.
"That girl"He continue.
"What about her?"Oguro Inquire
"She really make an uproar wherever she was. There is no single meeting with those fools without mentioning even her name or her deeds. It's getting pain in the ass"
"They are just stirring up because they know how corrupted they are"
"HA HA. Now that you mention it. Some of them looking pale whenever they hear someone who hold a mid or even high position in the government being killed by her"
"They know they may be the next target that's why their fear to Nightmare is understandable. They may be the next one to be brought down including the truth of their corruption bringing out to light.
"If All might is a hero in the outside, a hero in the face of the wold. Nightmare is a hero cleaning the inside. The most silent and darkest part of the society"
"It's just a matter of time. Both hero and villain will chase after her"
"Only those obviously corrupt that is"
"Is there a changes in her case?"
"Changes? The only thing changes is her case keep piling up"
"Then I will leave the rest to you"
"Alright"
The vigilante Knuckleduster as well as former hero O'Clock left the scene and the police force went up to the rooftop meeting and greeting him.
This incidence has finally over. The villains was suppress and the mastermind was killed. The only thing was left to be done is go back to his office and make his coffee.
"Sir!"
"What"
"The corpse… is gone"
"What a shame"
"There's a lot of experiment that can be test with number 6"The man and a black suit observing the screen in front of him.
"Nightmare"
The surrounding was dark and there is a lot of machines inside as well as tubes connecting in his body.
If looking more closer to him, it looks like the machine all around him is to support his life. He has no eyes yet it seems he has no problem looking at the screen. At his condition. Anyone maybe have a sympathy in his wrecked body. But contrary to one might expect, an expression that is not supposed to have on him because of his condition is currently all over his face.
He is grinning
Not a lighthearted one but with malice that borders into a desire to acquire it.
"You really entertain me in each and every turn"The screen he currently looking at is from a CCTV footage showing the appearance of a girl in crimson-black clothes with jet black hair while wielding a pistol.
No, it is not really clear at all. It was blurred. Blurred like a form of censorship. There's no way the CCTV is censoring the cameras nor anyone had hijack it and censor her appearance. He was sure of it.
Just like the other photos of hers from confidential files in the government.
It is like there is a force trying to censor her so that no form of image can be captured.
"The more you silently wrecking the underworld, the more I am really curious on how your power works."He grin.
"[It seems you finally got his full attention]"Mika chuckled
"Did I entertain him that much?"Kurumi smiled
"[Yes to the point he want to acquire your power]"
"Too bad, this is not a quirk"
"[Right]"
"Nee-chan!"
Kurumi teleport in a distant rooftop building and observing the current situation of the Sky tower.
The Tower that supposed to collapse was restored with the power of the fourth bullet. And it is not her power but Izuku's
Speaking of Izuku, the boy in question appeared from her back.
Currently, Izuku was in astral dress and of course, the appearance he had was nearly identical to her's excluding the fact that the hair color and the hairstyle are different as well the age difference and how young he was looking right now.
It is just like Kurumi seeing herself 7 years ago in normal human time. She chuckle and decide to speak
"Did you just see what had you done Izuku?"
"!.. Did I... done it wrong Nee-chan?"
"Of course not."Kurumi chuckled and Izuku was stupefied
"Let me resay it. Did you see how popular you are right now Izuku?"
"!"
"Why not look at your phone?"
[Breaking News: The Villain responsible in destroying the tower's pillar has been arrested!]
[Breaking News: The Tokyo sky Dome has been restored!]
[Breaking News; Unknown hero restore the Tokyo Sky Dome before it collapse!]
Izuku took his smart phone from the shadow and surprise what inside. It's all about news regarding to the villain and the restoration of Tokyo Sky Dome
"Do you know you just save fifty thousand lives inside?"
"Fifty thou-. Me?"Izuku with his cute little index finger point himself while confuse.
"M. mmm"Kurumi smile while nod in agreement.
"Aren't you happy?"Kurumi patted his head and Izuku close his eyes feeling happy. But for some reason he look down to the floor.
"But we are vigilante Nee-chan. Even we save them. We cannot take the credit"He said
"Is the credit matter?"
"...of course not. I mean I-!"Izuki hastly reply but stuttered in his words
"Just by saving someone without any return feels really good right?. Or Izu-chan doesn't feel that way?"
"I am too Nee-chan!. I can feel it too. Just like last year, we brought down a crazy black organization and save all the victims make my heart feels light"
"and also happy"
"But now, Do you still feel the same way?"
"yes."
"Then what's wrong if you don't have any credits? what's wrong if you help others even if they don't see you?"
"Are you acting for the sole purpose of recognition?"Kurumi said seriously as Izuku stare back at her.
The pair of red and yellow clock eyes staring at the pair of red and yellow clock eyes. The distance between them is just a quarter of a meter and lock in intense gaze to each other.
For Izuku, while staring at her, the anxiety in his heart go away. The feeling of being recognize or not by the other people doesn't really matter to him in the first place. And Izuku broke the silence.
"Your right nee-chan. Saving some doesn't need any return or what it is"
"Yes. Izu-chan. The most important part is-"Kurumi tightly hold his shoulder and smile
"-You had saved someone"
