In the makeshift infirmary
"A quirk boosting cocktail. This is a wonder drug that will make you a mightier warrior than ever before."
Nighteye was lying on the ground with a bandaged head and his mask almost falling off, beyond him, stood three gentlemen, one wearing white-sportsjacket who seems to be in command spoke up,
"We on the medical board administer it, but if the fighter is conscious, we go through the formality of asking consent… After all, the whole operation is based around 'free-willed' participants."
Nighteye internally scoffed at his smugness "A deal with the devil, huh?" he spoke as he gained his balance and stood up, "Fine, I'll take it."
The masked man posing as a doctor grinned "A brave decision, now then..." he announced while moving close to the fighter and prepared the syringe to administer the drug.
Just as the evil-doer was about to inject the compound in Nighteye's system, the latter swiftly twisted the man's arms and confiscated the drug "I'll take it… as evidence."
Mirai cocked back his arm and sucker-punched the man in the face, knocking him out cold, while watching the whole ordeal, his lackeys called out the guards and ran for their life, realising that police would be arriving any minute.
Nighteye noticed 6 guards armed with metal rods approach him, he reached under his coat and took out his classic seals, in a second he threw those to the armed enemies hitting each of them on the pressure points and leaving them incapacitated.
'Just as i planned, infiltrated their sick bay after losing the match and collected evidence' he mentally check listed as he took the scans of the multitude of records present of the people they administered the illegal drug to, he put the handy-camera and the secured compound under his coat and went for the exit.
Nighteye was about to make his exit and fill through the crowd when in the lobby he encountered his earlier rival, Mr. "Rapper", who was looking kind of sad? Disappointed maybe?
"Hey, shoulda known you'd be okay P-boi."
"..."
The said fighter reached into his back pocket and presented Mirai with a couple of money bills "The last punch didn't feel right, like it didn't hit home, so I had a feeling your heart wasn't in it… Here, half the prize money plus bonus."
"...?"
"You started out great, it seemed like a fight I could sink my teeth into, so lets do it again, all the way this time, A FIGHT TO THE DEATH!"
"Beat it Buffcake, I have got some place to be." Nighteye shrugged while trying to keep his 'street' facade and the fact that he didn't enjoy the 'Pretty boi' or the 'P-boy' nickname as the man had dubbed it.
"Aww, come on party pooper, I can see you enjoy a good beat-down too!"
Mirai sighed, he'd have to endure the man until he was out, though it will help in camouflaging through his way "I can't say I do, I am all about analyzing and one-hit kill kind of guy."
"Nah, you were great out there, you can admit I didn't give you any openings."
"No, that was just a performance to get my job done, but its the first and last time I am doing something this idiotic."
Rappa huffed in annoyance "You gotta!" his demeanor took a 180 degree twist as he pumped up his hand and proclaimed "A man's fist needs words from the soul, I live my life by this philosophy, are you getting me?"
"Yes, you do have a moronic passion, but I won't do this again."
"Come on P-boi, I know you love this stuff you just gotta admit it, and then we'll have a deathmatch, where you'll die!"
Nighteye froze in his footsteps as he heard rumbling coming off from the walls "Wait."
Rapper came out of his dream land and too witnessed the rustling and shaking of the passage "Huh?"
"Somethings going down in the arena", Mirai declared as he thought to himself 'Better check, just in case…'
"HAA! I KNEW IT, I GOT A NOSE FOR THESE THINGS, IF THERE'S A FIGHT TO BE HAD, DON'T LEAVE US OUTTA IT!"
The announcer was completely baffled to see two teenagers dressed in what looked like a school uniform, wearing masks with one practically carrying the other, noticing that she drew in the crowd he announced it, "What's this now?! A couple of highschoolers? Who are these teenage misfits!?"
Upon the announcers' claims, the crowd went wild asking them who they were and shouting things like stay in school or do they have a death-wish?
"Who are we?" the Rabbit-girl wearing a mask exclaimed while sticking onto the arena's cage while her supposedly willing partner got dropped just beneath her, "I am… THE MASKED BEAUTY! TIGER… BUNNY!"
Taking his cue, the uni-hornette who really wanted to go home perked up, "And I-I am… uh.. Uhhhhhhh… CONCEALED BEAU WOLF….UNICORN…?!"
10 minutes earlier
Rumi and Izuku were standing in front of what looked like a abandoned parking lot, in the middle of the shopping-district, though from the voices Izuku could hear from here, there was much more going on in there than just people taking their vehicles in and out, not to mention the shit-eating-grin Usagiyama had on her face wasn't helping…
"Listen up Izuku, we are gonna go in there and FIGHT!"
'Okay, she certainly is honest' Izuku mused as he tried to keep his composure in tha absurd situation he was in. "A-And why would we do that?"
"Cuz it's fun! And now I have someone I can do it with!"
"B-But-"
Rumi's demeanour changed in a second, she whipped her head towards the greenette, puffed out her eyes, lowered her ears and sniffled "You're not gonna leave a lady alone, in such a dangerous place are you?"
Izuku quickly noticed his will slipping away due to those damn puppy-eyes. He suddenly had a quick flashback.
"Now Izuku dear, when bad people try to lure you somewhere, what do you do?"
"Call for heroes mommy!"
'...I doubt that'll help me right now. Aww, she's so cute… wait wha-?'
"N-No?"
"Then shut your mouthhole and enjoy!" The Rabbit-girl exclaimed as she grabbed a couple of masks from a nearby vendor, and put one on either of them.
"W-wait, I think what we are about to do is i-illegal."
"Only until we're caught! Now, don't die on me!" Usagiyama stated while picking up the uni-horned boy by his collar and bouncing into the facility.
"Tiger Bunny? Wolf Unicorn?", "Choose one animal you idiots", "Unicorns aren't real dipshit!", "We live in a world of quirks dumbass!", "Wanna go you fucking chode!" several voices came from the crowd upon their arrival, while a couple had 'side conversations'.
When someone finally brought Rumi's cat out of it's bag, "Hold up... ain't that Usako?!", when the others consequently backed them up. "Totally! She's the fight crasher!", "You mean the chick from Hiroshima?"
Izuku watched Rumi's face turn somewhat nervous at the comments, then the realisation hit him, he mentally chuckled as to how he couldn't figure it out earlier, 'I get it why she's so secretive about her middle school days, she's that girl that a few years back went around Hiroshima crashing fight cubs, in the end she vanished after being taken into custody and the name of her school was exposed, the legendary schoolgirl Hooligan-Bunny-Eared Usako! It all makes sense now!' he mused while taking in the surroundings and preparing himself for what's to come.
Whereas Rumi was jolted at the comments, 'Fuck! Now I gotta explain to Izuku about it!' she cursed, while trying to keep up her attitude and try not to get caught tonight…
"No-Uh!",she shouted while waving her hands in a declining manner "I am not the one you call Usako."
"You'll get him expelled too this time!", "Your cover's blown", "Your ears are visible!", "How dumb is she!?"
Getting a sense that this might cause trouble, she decided to divert the attention… to herself "WHATEVER! LET'S RUMBLE!"
The announcer caught the whiff of publicity and money, so he encouraged it "IT SEEMS WE HAVE NEW FIGHTERS IN THE HOUSE, HERE TO ISSUE THE CHALLENGE!"
Though while she was again getting chewed out by the audience Izuku noticed he was standing between two men who seemed to be way built than he ever hoped to be.
"Cram it you two! We are in the middle of a battle." the one on his right informed.
Upon hearing the fighters lecturing Izuku about stuff like staying in school and maintaining etiquettes, Rumi dropped down into the cage and confronted the men, when the one on the left questioned.
"And, who was the 'lets rumble' for? Him or me?"
The Rabbit-girl dropped her head and wickedly formed a grin "Both at once!" she exclaimed while split kicking the two fighters in the neck and knocking them out cold, or maybe more but that's for future…
"You two aint' enough, how 'bout everybody in this joint!?"
Izuku just ducked his way out of the attack and looked bewildered at the on-stage announcer,
"TIGER BUNNY DESTROYED OUR TWO FIGHTERS, WILL THE OTHER MYSTERIOUS NEWBIE TURN OUT TO BE AN UNDERDOG TOO? AND SHE JUST DECLARED WAR ON EVERYONE!"
"SOUNDS GREAT!" people from the crowd shouted as they started filling their way into the cage in hope to defeat the over-confident teen.
"Count me in!", "Time for Animal Hunt!" "I have a pet rabbit." "DIIIEEEE!"
"Kick me real hard, li'l bunny!" a shirtless perv shouted as jumped over to grab Rumi from behind.
Izuku didn't know what got over him when he dashed towards the guy, took out the pen he had in his pocket and jammed it into the pervert's left eye "Say that again and dying will be the least of your worries."
With that, everyone got the taste of what they were dealing with, with a moment of pain, Izuku flared up his horn and reverted the pervert's eye back to normal,
Rumi smirked under her breath as she got a glimpse of the dangerous side of timid Izuku
Midoriya, "OooH, getting possessive are we?~"
"N-No!"
"I like it~"
"O-okay?"
Izuku didn't know why his Deku pulsed for a moment.
The announcer was utterly stunned at the scene, fighters literally pouring in the arena to fight two highschoolers, gathering the attention of the audience he began "IT'S TOTAL MAYHEM! ALL SENSE OF ORDER HAVE BEEN THROWN OUT OF THE WINDOW! I HEREBY DECLARE THAT ALL BETS ARE OFF WITH THESE CHALLENGERS FLOODING THE ARENA! THERE'S NO BETTING ON THIS MATCH, IF IT"S SO CAN BE CALLED! THE AUDIENCE IS INVITED TO DISH IN THE ARENA AT ANY TIME! JUST FOR THE THRILL OF IT! CAN'T SAY THERE'S ANYTHING TO LOSE!"
No one noticed the extra pair of cameras recording the whole thing…
In a dim lit room, far far away
"An amusing turn of events" the man whose face was demolished spoke while his servant stood idly by his side, ready to follow the dark lord's commands.
"I thought this was just to haunt that buffoon, instead, why not harvest the more valuable quirks!?"
In front of him were three separate screens, displaying a live broadcast of Mirai, Rumi and Izuku...
