Chapter 8: The Heroes First Move!
Jae had been in the mansion for two days. After she awoke the morning after her encounter with Overhaul, Deku moved her from his base. She had been confined to another overly spacious room, and met a little girl named Eri. Deku said that she's important, and that her quirk is dangerous. She's not allowed to touch the girl, due to this. All of Overhauls men have come under the command of the League.
She remembers it clearly, the morning that they stormed the mansion. Anyone who resisted the new power were killed, and those who surrendered were spared their lives, at the cost of their loyalty. Blood still stained the halls, and scorch marks littered the walls and floorboards. All the villains were restless, seemingly gearing up for an assault. Deku kept her far away from others, the only contact she had was with him, and occasionally Eri.
She was wondering around her room, trying to find something to do. The mark pulsed as the door to her room suddenly opened, revealing Deku as he entered her room. He wore his usual outfit, a red dress shirt, black vest, red tie, black gloves, dress pants, and his red sneakers. He smiled when their eyes locked, and Jae kept the contact. "How is my dear doing this morning?" He approached her, brushing his fingers across her cheek before cupping her face in his hand.
Against her minds warnings, she leaned into his touch, craving human contact. It's been a month since she's been taken, and with him being her only form of contact, Jae sought comfort in him. Se had always craved human contact. She knew that it was wrong, but this was her life now. It's useless to deny the truth… She was stuck with him, and it was better to accept the facts then to go mad in denial. "I'm good." She spoke quietly, hoping that he was in a good mood.
Deku hymned, caressing her cheek with his thumb. "I'm expecting some visitors today, so you'll be a good girl while I'm busy, won't you?" She could sense the threat in his words, and she quickly nodded in understanding. "Wonderful! Eri will be joining you today, and Compress will watch over you. So behave for him, and keep Eri happy." Jae nodded again, her eyes shifting from his face to the floor.
"Always so shy, just like when we were kids." He tilted her head up, capturing her lips with his. Her eyes were open wide in shock, but slowly closed as Deku deepened the kiss. His tongue slipped into her mouth, coercing hers to move with his own. When he pulled away, Jae was panting for air, a bright blush blooming on her cheeks. Deku chuckled, running his thumb over her swollen bottom lip. "Remember Jae, you'll always be mine, no matter what."
He never let her forget it. Jae kept her eyes downcast on the floor, knowing his words to be true. My life belongs to him, and this is the way I'll live. Always locked away, only leaving at his request. This mark is my chains, keeping me locked to him forever. Jae thought sadly. Deku released her face, moving back towards the door. "Eri will arrive soon, I have guests to entertain." He left without another word, leaving Jae standing on her own, her hand brushed her cheek. Trying to mimic his touch.
The pros were standing before the mansion, ready for their assault. Those present were Fat Gum, Nighteye, Mirio, Bakugo, Kirishima, Uraraka, Asui, Bubble Girl, Ryukyu, Aizawa, Gran Torino, and many others. Scarlet, Kaden and Adriana were also present. Just as they were about the storm the mansion, one of their enemies attacks. Ryukyu, Urakaka, and Asui stayed behind to fight the villain, while the others rushed inside. Many villains attempted to stop them, but the heroes pushed through.
Two squads followed Nighteye through the mansion, Fat Gums squad, and Nighteyes own squad. "Here it is. If you press these panels in a certain order then…" Nighteye pressed some of the floorboards and the wall opened a path for them. "Wow, it's like a ninja house!" Bubble girl commented, causing Centipeder to warn her to be cautious of enemies. As the door opened fully, three villains sprang from the opening. "Who the fuck are you!"
The heroes sprung into action, as Aizawa erased their quirks, Bubble Girl and Centipeder took them down. "We'll keep these guys from giving chase, so get going!" Bubble Girl said as the rest of the heroes went to continue down the passageway. "Wow that was fast!" Kirishima commented as they entered the doorway. Scarlet agreed, slightly in awe at their efficiency. "Keep your eyes peeled shitty hair!" "Don't let the bubbles distract you Scar, you're easily drawn from focus." Bakugo and Kaden scolded the two, while Adriana just sighed as she followed behind them.
"It's a dead end!" One of the heroes said as they reached a wall. They asked if they were going the right way, looking to Nighteye for answers. "I'll go take a look!" Mirio said as he phased through the wall with ease. He returned not a second later, explaining that the wall was just put there to throw them off. Bakugo and Kirishima sprung into action, breaking through the wall in one blast.
As they did this, The ground started to shift and morf in all directions, acting more like water then solid ground. "This is the work of one of the villains! He has a quirk that allows him to enter an object and control it! He must have slipped into the concrete and is warping the building!" A hero said as they struggled to keep their footing. "Can you erase his quirk Eraser Head?" Fat Gum asked as they scanned the moving basement. "Not unless I see the users body, then no." He responded, searching for any sign of the villain.
"If they keep changing the building, then we'll never reach our goal in time. They can plan many escape routes in that time." Suneater added as they tried to figure out what to do next. "This is just a stopgap! No matter how he changes the halls, as long as I know the right direction, I can get there!" Mirio says as he phases through through the moving walls, leaving the others behind.
The floor suddenly opens beneath them, dropping them further from their goal as the ceiling closes up above them. Three more villains appear in the hall they had entered, and Suneater decided that he would stay behind and fight them on his own. The others relented at his conviction to help his friend, and they move on without him.
Jae was in her room, playing dolls with Eri. Compress sat by the door, watching them intently. The room suddenly shook and moved back and forth. "What's going on?" Jae watched as the ceiling shook, her eyes calculating as she tried to analyze the situation. "It's nothing to worry about." Compress informed them. "Our guests our just being rowdy, the boss will take care of them."
Jae wasn't entirely convinced by his attempt to defuse her worry. She knew something was going on up there, but what she needed to do was watch over Eri, and make sure that she's safe. So she ignored the sounds of battle above her, not wanting to anger Deku in the future.
"Something's not right." Aizawa said as they ran through the halls of the mansion. "Do you mean the absence of the warping villain? It's been too quiet." Adriana asked as she observed the unmoving walls. "Exactly, he should be trying to deter us from our path. Maybe he's held up by the police squad left with Suneater?" He pondered it for a moment. "We should be glad that he hasn't followed us here." Kaden responded, but he spoke too soon. The wall suddenly grew, attacking Aizawa head on. "Eraser!" Fat Gum jumped towards him at the same time as Kirishima, both of them being knocked into another room, sealing them off from the others.
After the two disappeared, the walls started closing in on them. Bakugo sent blasts at the walls, trying to make more space, while Rock Lock tried to stabilize the moving concrete. Adriana also blasted through the walls with her wind, protecting Kaden and Scarlet from their movements. Aizawa searched for the villains body once again, hoping to catch a glimpse of him so he can erase his quirk.
"We aren't getting anywhere!" Bakugo raged as he blasted another wall. We have to get through this! I have to get to Jae! "Like hell I'll let you win!" Bakugo raged. Suddenly the walls opened up around them, causing the heroes to pause in surprise. "Bakugo!" Eraser and Adriana warned as they pushed him out of the way of a rising wall, separating them the rest of the heroes.
"You guys okay in there!" Rock Locks voice sounded from the other side of the wall. "It doesn't seem to be that thick." Aizawa commented as he placed a hand on the wall. They heard sounds on a battle on the other side. "Lock! What's going on over there!" Aizawa called. "Move aside!" Bakugo called as he launched a blast at the wall, blowing a hole to the other side. "Damn you're always so destructive." Adriana commented as she stepped through the hole.
"What happened!" Aizawa asked when he saw Rock Lock on the ground, and another standing above him. "There was an imposter." He explained, looking at the fake below him. "Oh, Bakugo you're alright!" Rock Lock said in a strange tone. "What the fuck?" Rock Lock swung a knife at Bakugo, causing him to jump away. Rock Lock suddenly faded into goo, revealing Toga in its wake.
Damn, we knew that the League was involved! Its Toga, the shapeshifter! Aizawa thought as he went to attack. "Ah! It's the crazy bitch!" Bakugo said as he moved away from the naked girl. "Bakugo! I've been waiting to cut you up! I can't believe we've met again!" She was pulled away from him when Aizawa wrapped her in his bandages. "This is the end for you Toga Himiko!" Aizawa warned as he went to attack. Toga saw through him, and grabbed his scarf. She redirected her trajectory, flipping over Aizawas head, stabbing him in the process.
As that was happening, Twice faced off against Nighteye, excited that it was his turn to battle. "I gotta thank the boss, i'm getting hyped up here!" Twice sent clones of the gangsters at Nighteye, but they were defeated quickly as he hit them with a 5 kilogram stamp. He through the stamps at Twice, destroying half of his mask, causing him to flee. Toga followed after him.
"Damn! I'm breaking in two!" Twice fell to his knees, holding his hands over his exposed face. "Its okay Twice!" Toga came from behind him, tying a cloth around his face. "You feel responsible for Magne's death, It hurts doesn't it?" Toga consoled him. "Its okay though, because the Boss would never abandon us. He allows us to do as we please, letting us enjoy the freedom the league can provide. He found us, and we'll help him achieve his goals, to take over this world!" Twice was speechless for a moment. "Be my wife." He said in disbelief. Toga laughed.
Back with the heroes, they were still trying to fight the villain hidden in the walls. The room kept changing, attacking them from all angles. Bakugo watched the walls for a sign of the villain, and when he saw an eye form in the swirling mass, he attacked. He launched himself into the air, hitting the spot where the villain was hidden with a blast. The man fell from the walls, allowing Aizawa to erase his quirk and return the halls to normal.
The rubling was getting closer and closer to their room, making Jae feel uneasy. Compress was also worried as the sound of battle continued to grow louder with each passing second. Eri was growing scared, hugging a stuffed animal to her chest. The mark on Jae's chest pulsed, alerting her to Deku's presence as the door opened. He entered with a two gang members following behind him. "It's time to leave. Compress, go help Toga and Twice, I'll handle things from here." Compress nodded leaving the room without a sound.
One gang member grabbed Eri from the floor, and Deku moved to Jae, grabbing her by the wrist. "The heroes found out about Overhaul. They've come here to capture you, and put you in prison." Jae's eyes widened at his words. "They may have the intention of torturing you for information on the League, and will most likely execute you once they're done." Her mouth dropped open and her hands shook.
"No, they wouldn't… would they?" Doubt spread in her mind as Deku filled her head with harsh lies. "They deem you too dangerous to live. With the power you hold and your connection to me, they are most definitely planning to dispose of you." Deku watched as his words sowed the doubt in her, turning her against her comrades. Even if they reach her, she'll only fight them now.
"B-but, Katsuki… and the others… they wouldn't." She tried to find a solution, something that would prove that it was a lie. "The students don't know of the heroes intentions. I've gained this intel from one of my spies, it's all very true."
Jae was stunned into silence as she just stared wide eyed at Deku. "Don't worry my dear, I won't let them take you away." He brushed her hair behind her ear, caressing her cheek. "But, you can always protect yourself. If I am indisposed, then you must fight on your own." Deku saw her hesitating, seeing that she needed a bit more motivation. "The heroes hide many secrets, my dear. Aside from what they have planned for you, they've learned of Eri's dangerous quirk, and are planning on using her for tests and experiments."
Jae gasped, glancing at Eri behind her, her eyes showed her fear as she looked back down the hallway. Jae's eyes narrowed, thinking of all the lies she's been fed. She turned her hardened gaze to Deku, nodding her head, showing she understood. Deku internally smirked. He was slowly molding her to his will, turning her against the heroes she once held dear.
They soon met up with another gang member, he was carrying a briefcase. "Is the product safe?" Deku asked as they continued down the halls. "Yes sir, and all accounted for." Deku nodded. "Make sure you have a round loaded, I have a feeling that we'll be having company soon." They entered an open room, nearing their destination, when Deku heard someone behind them.
He dodged when the person emerged from the ground below him, separating him from Jae. "Ah, so you came alone did you, Lemillion?" Deku taunted the hero as he stood his ground before the villain. "I can handle this on my own, now give the child to me." He held his hand out, like he was expecting the gang member to release Eri from his hold.
Deku laughed, "And why… would I just hand her over to you. She is very valuable." Mirio's eyes scanned his opponents, and when his gaze landed on Jae, he observed her. She was standing roughly ten feet away from Deku, yet instead of trying to get away from him, she was slowly inching closer. "Enderson! We've come to rescue you as well, please come with me, I'll get you out of here."
Jae stared at his outstretched hand as he reached out for her, and she took a step back, glancing at Deku. Mirio was shocked by her reaction, and took a step closer. "Please, some of your classmates are here as well. Bakugo, Kirishima, Asui, and Uraraka. Your-" Jae cut him off yelling, "No! I will not be taken back!" Mirio stepped away in shock of her outburst, and Deku just smiled. "The things I've done, won't be forgiven… can't you see? I dont deserve to be a hero anymore!" Her voice began to grow desperate, like she was grasping at her last few beliefs in the heroes. "You can't save me… and I can't trust the heroes any longer."
She moved to stand by Deku's side, her eyes downcast as she tried to hide the tears gathering in her eyes. She had made her choice, but what she didn't realize was that it was based on lies and twisted truths. "Well hero, it seems like your mission has been pointless." Deku taunted, locking his gaze on the caped hero. "No," was the simple word that came from the heroes mouth as he dashed towards the man holding Eri, snatching her from his arms and getting some distance between them. "Because a heroes cape, is meant to hold those who need saving." He wrapped the shaking girl in his cape, standing to face his new adversary.
"Fine then, I guess I'll just have to take care of you myself." His eyes narrowed on his target as he stretched his hand out, moving to capture Mirio in his telekinesis. Just as he caught hold of him, Mirio disappeared, falling into the ground below. "My, what an impressive quirk." Deku admired as he watched his surroundings, waiting for the hero to reappear. He was ready when Mirio popped from the ground, going for his eyes. He launched a blaze of purple fire at the hero, burning him slightly before he sank beneath the ground again.
"Hiding and attacking is such a cowardly way of fighting, I prefer and up close and personal approach. Deku slapped his hands on the ground, causing the earth to crack and shift considerably. Jae floated away from the damaged ground, while only one of the gangsters was able to jump out of the way, the other falling into the cracking earth. Mirio was forced from the ground revealing his position. "There you are." Deku launched some of the floating rocks at the hero. Mirio was ready though, and they passed right through him. What he wasn't ready for, was Deku on the other side.
With the rocks blocking his vision, Deku took the chance to get in close. He surrounded his fists with raging purple flames, and punched Mirio in the gut as soon as he phased through the rocks. He was flung back, landing harshly in front of her as she cried, wrapped in his cape. Mirio coughed as he slowly got to his feet. Deku landed a few yards from them, planning his next move.
Deku saw one of the gangsters from the corner of his eye, he held the gun filled with the serum, pointing it directly at Mirio. Deku sighed, knowing that an attack like that was pointless, and a waste of product. He pulled the gun from the unsuspecting gangsters hand with his quirk, and holding it in his own hand, aimed towards the rising hero. "Bullets wont work on me, Deku." Mirio said a bit smug, standing at full height. Deku grinned maliciously, tilting his head slightly. "And who said I was aiming at you?"
Mirios eyes widened, looking back at a frighted Eri. A gunshot was heard, and for a moment everything was still. When the ground settled and Jae had a clear view of the battlefield she saw what had happened. Mirio had jumped in front of Eri, wrapping his arms around her, shielding her from the oncoming bullet. He winced when he felt it pierce his skin, and soon fell to the ground when he felt his strength waning.
Eri gasped, watching with shaking eyes as Mirio struggled to get up once again. "What will you do now hero? You have no quirk to back you up, and I grow tired of playing with you." Mirio swayed as he stood, but held his ground as he glared up at the villain before him. "It doesn't matter if I don't have a quirk, I'll protect her, and I'll win, because that's what it means to be a hero!"
"Couldn't have said it better myself." A voice entered the fray, and Deku dodged swiftly as a stamp flew past him at an incredible speed. He looked behind him when he heard a large crash, eyes widening when he saw the large crater where the stamp hand landed against the wall. "Nighteye sensei!" Mirio said as Nighteye emerged from the halls. "Don't forget about us!" Scarlet said as the rest of the team emerged as well.
Jae's eyes widened, she was also observing the large dent in the wall, when she heard that voice. It couldn't be… She turned slowly, and her fears were confirmed when she saw Scarlet standing by Nighteye. "Scar…" She whispered, and their eyes locked. "Jae!" Scarlet moved towards her, but was blown back by a blast of air. Deku had recovered from his shock, and was now observing his new enemies. "Remember what I said Jae, they are not here to save you." Those were his last words as he engaged in battle with Nighteye.
"Jae!" Scarlet moved closer to her once again, but Jae took a step back, her hands shaking as she tried to figure out if she should run away, or embrace her friend. Scarlets happy expression dropped when she moved away, and she stopped her advance. "Jae, its okay. We came to help you escape from here!" Jae looked behind her confused. "We?" Suddenly, Kaden, Bakugo, and Adriana emerged.
"K-kaden? Big Sis?" Her eyes were wide in shock, and she took a step backwards. "We came so save you from that bastard Jae! Hurry, we gotta get out of here while we can!" Kaden stepped right up to her, reaching for her wrist. She pulled back quickly avoiding his advance, eyes downcast. "Jae?"
"Why? Why did it have to be you!" Her fists clenched by her sides. "Jae! Come on! Dont let that bastard Deku get to you!" Bakugo yelled, trying to make his way to Jae, but Adriana held him back. "What are you doing Aid! We gotta knock some sense into her, we gotta go!" Aid just shook her head. "It's too late for me now, can't you see that!" She raised her gaze, her hardened eyes filled with tears. "Jae.." Scarlet whispered as she felt the overwhelming flow of emotions coming from her friend. Anger. Confusion. Sadness. Betrayal.
"I won't be a pawn in the heroes game any longer!" She launched a blast of wind at them, blowing Kaden and Scarlet back. Adriana blocked with a powerful flap of her wings, protecting her and Bakugo. "She's lost it." Adriana grumbled. "Scarlet! Hack her emotions, try to calm her down." She ordered, turning to Kaden. "Kaden! Use your quirk, try to get her to stop." They both hesitated, but jumped into action when Jae launched another blast of wind, this time burning hot with her anger.
Scarlet honed in on Jae, hacking into her emotions, trying to calm her anger. She focused on her sadness bringing it to the surface. Tears streamed down Jae's face as she faced off with her sister. Both of them were pushing at each other's attacks with their own wind current. With her sadness coming up to the surface, Jae's attack faltered. Adriana pushes back ten fold, blowing her off her feet. Kaden to this as his opportunity to get close. "Jae." She froze at the sound of his voice, clouded eyes shifting to him. "You need to stop fighting us. We are only here to help you."
Jae stood, moving towards Kaden when he outstretched his hand. "Please. Come back with us. We'll protect you from Deku." She froze at the mention of Deku. The mark pulsing on her chest. She blinked a few times, shaking her head clear. "My quirk got booted out of her head!?" Scarlet said surprisingly. Bakugou watched as her face changed. The tears stopped, and all was silent for a moment. Until she exploded.
"You… you used your quirk on me… Kaden." She sounded hurt, but when she said his name with such malice, Kaden knew he fucked up. "You promised me, after we met and… and you used it on me… that you'd never…" She was struggling to keep her anger at bay. "You bastard!"
Her eyes were sharp silver when she looked back to him, lifting him from the ground and blasting a current so strong, that he landed against the wall in a crater, falling limply to the ground. "All of you. All of you betrayed me!" She blew Scarlet away quickly, knocking her out when she cracked her head against the floor, moving onto her sister.
"You aren't thinking straight Jae! Can't you see that he's manipulating you! Open your eyes!" Adriana tried to reason with her, but the rage had taken over. "My eyes are open! To the lies and the secrets of the hero organization! Rules that do nothing but suppress the people! Causing them to rely to heavily on heroes that are only in it for the fame and the money! I know my place now! And I will destroy this society, and make it fair for everyone!"
Bakugou just watched horrified as Jae spout those words. He knew that Jae had been struggling with her ideals ever since the USJ attack and the incident in Hosu City, but this… this was just madness. "Jae! Please! Your hurting your friends! We just want to help you dammit! Why can't you see that! Did you forget what he did to you! What he did to Uraraka?!"
Jae shifted her gaze to him. Contemplating his words as he stood next to his sister. "Do you remember what you did to him?" Bakugo flinched at the harsh tone of her voice. "You have led him to this path, you and All Might. You both have lead me to the place I am now, but none of that matters anymore, Katsuki." She sighed.
"What do you mean it doesn't matter! You've lost your damn mind! What has he been doing to you?" She pulled water out of the air. Letting it flow around her. "It doesn't matter, because my life isn't my own. I can't go back to the way things were. This is my only option now, and I will use it to make the wrongs of this world right!"
Deku was frowning bored of this. Nighteye was a one trick pony, and it aggravated him. He couldn't land a single hit, due to his future quirk. "It's pointless villain. Give up while you still have the chance." Nighteye said in monotone, not fazed by the battle. Deku just chuckled, launching another attack, but this time, he would win.
Nighteye dodged the kick he threw, letting Deku soar around him. "I told you it's point-" He was cut off mid sentence as his body started to squeeze. "How," He chokes out as his body continued to cave in on itself. "To keep your quirk working, you only look a few seconds into the future at each time. If I plan an attack at one moment that you see in your vision, then change it while I attack, you won't be able to predict my moves." Deku explains as he holds his half closed fist towards the hero.
"How… c-could you have… p-possibly found that… out during battle…" Nighteye struggled with his words. "Because," Deku chuckled. "I've been analyzing quirks, heroes, and even combat moves since I was a child. Yours wasn't that hard to find out." He sighed. "What a pity, that you won't live to see that future you so hoped to possess. I'm sure you never saw this coming."
Deku smirked as he closed his fist, crushing the heroes body without much effort. He turned to Jae's battle, smirking when he saw her fighting against her friends. He also heard the last bit of her conversation. He dropped Nighteyes body, and teleported between the two fighting sisters.
"Couldn't have said it better myself, my dear." Deku smirked when Adriana's eyes narrowed on his form. "Come now. Sisters shouldn't fight." Deku mocked the elder sister, causing her to grit her teeth. Her wings twitched like she was going to take flight, but she stood her ground.
"Release my sister, Izuku." Deku shook his head with a chuckle, not even responding. "I know your not like this Izuku, please. Stop this madness and let my sister go."
"Sorry, but the old Izuku isn't here anymore. He's quite dead." His red eyes glared at her, but right as he was about to raise her with his telepathy, it didn't work. "Lovely. The stealth hero arrives just in time." Deku looked back to Jae. "I'll be done in a moment dear, I think you can handle this on your own."
Deku moved towards the hero at a slow pace, leaving Jae on her own again. Aizawa kept his eyes locked on him as he approached, not blinking for even a second. "I wonder how long you can keep your quirk up, Eraser Head." Aizawa narrowed his eyes. "As long as it takes to put you down."
"Bakugo, go help Eraser, I can handle my sister on my own." Adriana said, also keeping her gaze on her opponent. Bakugou wanted to protest, but he also wanted to beat the shit out of Deku, so he ran off to Aizawa's side.
"Two against one. How fun. Yet," Deku pulled out his two switchblades, flicking them open with practiced ease. "I was quirkless my whole life, I don't need my powers to take you both down." Bakugo rushed him, propelling himself forward with his quirk. Deku dodged his right hook, and mocked him.
"I've studied your fighting style for years Kacchan! All those beatings really do come in handy." Deku swipes a blade at his neck, and Bakugo backed off. A trail of blood flowed from the small slice of his blade, but Bakugo ignored it and pushed back with an explosion. Deku dodged swiftly, and as the explosion blew a cloud around them, he felt his quirk return.
He smirked, teleporting away while the dust was still surrounding him. Aizawa's eyes widened when the smoke cleared and he was gone. A sharp pain was felt in his back,the same place where Toga had stabbed him earlier, and he could feel more blood flowing down his skin. "Fuck." Aizawa cursed as he slumped to the floor, trying to fight the blackness invading his vision. "One down." Deku mocked, teleporting back to Bakugo, engaging in hand to hand combat.
"Not gonna use your fancy telekinesis are you Deku? At least you aren't being a coward!" Deku side stepped more explosions, a look of glee on his face. "Not this time Kacchan, but why don't I show you another trick up my sleeve." He summoned purple flames around his fists, throwing punch after punch.
Bakugo was on the defensive, dodging the flaming fists as they aimed for his face. When he saw an opening, he let go an explosion blowing Deku back a few feet. He prepared to dodge another punch as Deku charged him, but was shocked when the blow hit his back. "H-how?" His back felt like it shattered, his body wouldn't move an inch as he fell face down in front of Deku.
"You seem to be forgetting something Kacchan. I have multiple quirks. That combination was Enhanced Strength, Purple Flame, and Teleportation." He smirked down at his fallen friend, watching him struggle to get up. "Seems as though the tables have turned in my favor, the quirkless nobody, finally beating the self proclaimed king." He scowled down at Bakugo, enjoying his struggles to move. Deku then looked over to see that Aizawa was passed out in his own blood. He was alive, but there was no way he was getting up from that. His eyes surveyed the battlefield and his anger rise when he realized that Mirio had taken off with Eri.
Adriana dodged another water whip, ducking under the stream and blasting a wave of air at her sister. She was starting to panic. Both Kaden and Scarlet have been knocked out, and Jae's anger just seems to be growing with each passing second. This is not good. I always knew her anger would get the better of her in time... She narrowly dodged another attack, taking to the sky to get out of range. But this is just ridiculous!
The water whip wrapped around her ankle, and Adriana gasped as she was pulled down. Her back hit the ground painfully, and the air was knocked from her lungs. "Leave me be sister… This is your last warning." Aid coughed, attempting to get up. "Its my job to bug you Jae, and to knock some sense into you when you make stupid mistakes! This isn't the right way to go! Why can't you just open your eyes and see what he's doing to you!"
She was getting desperate, trying to make Jae see reason, but there is no reasoning with someone so manipulated. "He may have done some horrible things, and they were wrong, I know that… but the heroes are leading us into ruin!" Jae slowly approached her struggling sister, being cautious of a counter attack. "The public can't even defend themselves from robbers, rapists, and murderers in this country! Quirks are tucked away, told not to be expressed in the public eye, yet the heroes run around town flashing them like trophies!"
"When my friends and I were attacked in Hosu City, we defended ourselves against the Hero Killer. My friends were able to defeat him on their own, but were punished because they didn't have the 'authority' to harm him." She mocked the police's words. "Authority!? Who gets to decide what heroic deeds are legal and those that are not! The authority to protect myself from a villain that comes after my life? Everyone should have the right to defend themselves! How can we survive if we don't act!"
Aid stared at Jae in shock, not knowing what to say to such a speech. "Quirks are a part of our lives, and the heroes just want to suppress the citizens so that they can profit off of our fear." Jae laughed. "I dont think its me that needs to open my eyes Aid, it's you who needs to see the deep seeded corruption in our world."
Aid just watched her with wide eyes. Corruption? Suppression? Is that really how she saw the world? Aid didn't know, but she knew that this was a lost cause. "Leave then, and don't ever come crawling back Jae." Its was Jaes turn to look in shock. "When you realize your mistakes, it will be too late to turn back. I hope you are ready to face the consequences." Adriana stood, dragging herself to the bodies of Scarlet and Kaden.
"You did well, my dear." Deku approached their battle ground, observing the damage. Jae looked over to him, ignoring his comment. Deku brushed it off, turning to Aid. "Giving up so soon, Adriana?" She scoffed. "You may have brainwashed her to your will for now Deku, but I know my sister, she'll realize what you've done eventually."
Deku chuckled. "I don't know what you mean." He said cheekily, turning to Jae. "It's time to go love, there's nothing more for us here." Jae nodded taking his outstreatched hand. As they disappeared into Deku's green mist, a single tear trailed down Adrianas cheek.
Chapter 8 complete! Ugh this took me so long to finish. I hope you guys enjoyed! Where will Jae and Deku go from here? And how long will it take for Jae to come to her senses? What is Deku's next move, and how will the heroes respond to this loss? Find out next week in Chapter 9. Until next time…
P.s. Just some insight to the chapter. All Might still has One for All, but his body is far too damaged to sustain his muscle form for any sort of fight. Currently, I have no plans for All Mights successor, but will try to figure something out soon. Also, we saw some of Jae's anger towards Bakugo for bullying Deku in the past, finally. Sorry about that plot hole again.
