"This whole thing had been far too boring." Rojiya thought.
When he had first agreed to take this job on, from that mysterious employer whom he had worked for in the past, he'd thought that it would be a breeze, after all the assignment was just too simple to screw up. He and his crew just had to locate, and nab the hero killer's bitch off the street, snap a photo to send to the police, hold her captive, in this specific location until the heroes and police located her, and then bail before they got here, and leave the brat to be rescued.
That was all they had to, and with each of their respective quirks, it would be an easy 3,000,000 yen grab. And it was, they had suffered no major complications, but that wasn't the problem, the problem was the job had been far too boring. All they had been doing this whole time was stand on guard duty and play cards, the kid was no fun either, all she ever was swear at them, but that was probably supposed to happen, the employer had wanted her in this specific location, and Rojiya was pretty sure there were still toxic chemicals infecting in the air of that room. The only thing remotely interesting that happened was on day five, Noire kicked Soji in the balls.
For the past two weeks, they had each stuck to a rotating sleep schedule during the nights, where at any given time, at least two of them would be awake, one would stand guard and one would monitor the cameras from a laptop. There were several cameras set up, one of which was one set up to a tripod and trained on Noire, and one for each entrance and exit to the building. Royija was right now on camera duty, cycling through each of the camera's feeds for the thousandth time that night, the one on guard duty was Haruhisa, who's quirk gave me incredible strength that could possibly match All Might's, he was the main bruiser of the group. Soji, who was currently asleep, could wield lightning at the cost of a sudden wave of hunger after each use, apparently, his quirk used up nutrients quickly for fuel, he would be able to fight alongside Haruhsia in a fight. Tetsu, whose technology quirk allowed him to create a suit of armour on himself, it also let him listen in on one radio frequency at a time from a few kilometers away, would be who they depended on to be aware of a coming police raid, and he also had great computer skills. And of course Royija, the group leader had the ability to dissolve detached organic material, he was able to dispose of things like blood and fingerprints, an ability that was especially useful for covering his tracks.
Just then, as Royija glanced at the laptop's monitor, he saw that Noire had managed to break free of the ropes and was now standing up from her chair. Wasting no time, Royija radioed Haruhisa and told him to subdue the kid, then he rose from his seat to go wake Soji and Tetsu. This wasn't the first time a hostage of his had fought back before, but he was tired of waiting for the police to show up, and he was tired of playing babysitter as well. Once Haruhisa had pacified the bitch, the four of them would beat her to a pulp, call the police so they could find her, just like the client wanted, and then he and his crew would bail. One way or another, Haruhisa would be getting that fight he wanted.
Haruhisa made for the door. But when he got there and unlocked the door to where the bitch was being held, the thing he saw did not look anything like the weak hero bitch they remembered her as. In actuality, it was a monster, it was bleeding tears of blood from its blank white eyes, its wrists and hands were bloodied too, the skin looked like it had been torn up by a wild beast, and it wore a wide smile, twisted in sadistic joy.
As soon as the door opened, the thing came rushing at the villain like a rabid animal, gripped tightly in its bloody hands, was the camera tripod that had been set up to monitor her, and she was wielding it like a weapon. In response to this threat, Haruhisa steeled himself and charged forward as well, this was not his first battle, and it didn't matter what this kid looked like, she was still just a punk.
Roughly around the center of the room was where the two first clashed, the tripod collided. As they continued to exchange blows, the swings had not actually caused damage to Haruhisa as they bounced off his skin, but each time this monster struck, a small cut would form, for as tough as his skin was, it could still be cut ifdealt enough damage. About thirty seconds into the fight, neither of them had actually hit each other, the kid swung heavily each time, but every attack had been blocked and counter-attacked by the villain, to which he was answered by another heavy swing that distracted him from his offensive, this was the current pace of the struggle.
"Okay, playtime is over!" Haruhisa said as he dodged the next attack and brought his arm back for a heavy hit of his own.
As soon he swung, Noire let go of the Tripod before he struck and rushed away from Haruhisa, scrambling for the ground.
"What does this crazy kid think he's doing." he thought.
Only when Noire was picking up the blood on the ground did Haruhisa realize what was going on.
"Oh shit!" he yelled.
As Noire licked the blood, Haruhisa decided to go for the offensive as well, but as soon as he went for a punch, he realized that he couldn't move, he had failed to realize earlier, just how terrifying this girls quirk was. He was paralyzed as he gazed into what looked like the red eyes of death. This was his final realization as he was suddenly covered in flames, and his spirit left his body.
"AAAAARGGHH!"
Soji was angrily yelling as he charged Noire who he had just seen murder his friend. He pulled back his fist, ready to strike at this creature, and his hammer connected with the creature's left shoulder, producing a popping sound. But then, he noticed a pain in his own left shoulder. Endeavour had set his shoulder on fire, he cursed, and then quickly backpedaled away from his opponent. This guy would pay, he would make sure of that.
Soji firmly gripped his hammer by the handle in his hand, and he stared the kid down. He only just now noticed that the kid wore this messed-up smile that gave him the creeps. As soon as Soji was at attacking distance, Endeavour leaped forward and grabbed Soji's face with his flaming hand, tipping him over by using his momentum against him. Soji, in spite of his surprise at the sudden development, refused to hesitate against the hero who had killed Haruhisa not a minute earlier, and he drove his hammer into Endeavour's left thigh.
The hero yowled in pain, as Soji lifted his arm upwards, in hopes that he could strike the hero in the neck, he stopped. He came to a complete stop. Noire's quirk had struck again. Royija and Tetsu couldn't move either.
Endeavour currently stood in the center of the bare room where Noire had been held for what had felt like an eternity. The room carried the same burning smell of chemicals that had tortured her for all that time, Fat Gum had arrived not long ago. He was currently hugging Noire. The wounds that her kidnappers had inflicted her had now been dealt with. Under her eyes were dark bags that were the result of few hours sleep, as in her captivity she got very little of it and could only fade in and out of consciousness as the pain crawled across him like the raking claws of a frightful monster, but she it proven she took after her father.
The nastiest of her injuries however were seen on her hands, scarring from when she tore free of the ropes lined the entirety of her wrist and hand, and left it looking as if it had been caught up in industrial machinery.
" Im sorry"
Came words the shocked Noire out of her Stain trance, they came from Endeavour
" Im sorry i didn't rescue you sooner " Endeavour said, Noire stared at the number one hero as he continued " You didn't deserve any of this"
Fat Gum nodded, " He's right you didn't" Fat Gum cared about his team mates deeply and was very concerned when Noire had gone missing, he rushed out of his office when Endeavour has called saying he found Noire.
" Thank you" Noire meekly said.
