We stood in front of a large fat man who sat behind a desk. "So Kirishima and Astero, the reforming villain. These are the two you wanted me to meet?" Fat gum said as Kirishima stood at attention and I rest on his shoulder, both of us in full uniform. "I can see why you would want me meet with Kirishima, he has a lot of potential like you"
Amajiki just touched the tips of his fingers together. "I... thought since he is trying to change his ways. I thought this was the best way to help him." Amajiki explained. "I saw that people would give him dirty looks and shove him out of the way."
"I understand. I don't need to know all the details of your life kid about how you ended in the place you are, but it's clear to me that you aren't evil. I'll take you both on." Fatgun signed the contracts. "You will work for me for four months, be paid a wage and help with hero work. Who know's, perhaps the point of view from a former villain will help out."
"Thank you." We both said.
"Well then, since you never had a internship Tech, I will be more than happy to show you the ropes. Get changed into your hero costumes." Fatgum said.
Chapter 88: Work Studies
I stood In Nighteye's repaired office, the walls patched together with boards and other materials. I was in my armor and Deku in his. Mirio wore a white suit with red cape, the number one million in bold gold letters, gold shoulders, blue bottoms and white knee high boots. We stood across from Nighteye and Bubble girl. "Yakuza Boss of the Shei Hassaikai. Kai Chisaki. That plague doctor's mask is his trademark. He has an incredibly powerful quirk Overhaul allowing him to breakdown and rebuild any matter that he touches." Sir Nighteye said as he showed us a file folder of a man with brown hair, gold eyes, green jacket with purple fir collar and a beaked face mask. "He has been tied to a recent robbery where after the robbers attacked the store in plain daylight, then their vehicle exploded. But non of them were injured and yet they were in better health then ever before. Previous condition such as cavities and scars were gone. The money was burned up in the flames. But as he had seemed to not commit any crime there was nothing he could be charged with."
"Yakuza. I thought that low level gangs were mostly left to the police, and only if they were needed then heroes would come in to help." Deku said. "Why are you looking into the group?"
"I have had my suspicions of the group for a while. While it is a little more then a hunch, more often then not my hunches are right." Sir explained. "Me and bubble girl will be following the target while you three cover the usual route to get you two used to the average day as heroes. We don't want to attract too much attention to us. And if you encounter any member of the Shei Hassaikai, do not engage. We will only have one chance. And if you encounter any of the Eight percepts of Death, Chisaki's personal gaurds and advisors"
"Understood." We all said.
We exited the hero agency and walked along the street. "You know, I don't know your hero names." Mirio said.
"Oh, I'm Deku." Izuku said.
"Deku, that's a weird hero name. But you do you. I'm Lemillion. Because I want to save a million people." He pointed at himself with his thumb as we walked along the street, I kept scanning around with my scouter. The shear difference between the power levels never ceased to amaze me.
"Saiyan." I said. "It's personal." Is the only explanation I gave.
"Saiyan? Strange, I don't think I have heard that name before." Mirio said.
"You wouldn't have." I said as we stopped in front of an ally.
"If you don't see your self as a hero, then why do you have a hero name?" He asked.
"Like I said, it's personal." I said before we started moving again, but we barely took two step when a weight crashed into me and Deku. The soft thumps of two girls hit the ground as we turned to them.
One had long grey silver hair, blood crimson eyes, pale skin wrapped up in faded bandages and a grey sack like dress, bare foot. On her forehead was a small ringed horn... but those eyes, they had fear... fear that made some deep part of me, my Saiyan side to call for blood. The second girl... black hair, scared skin, onyx black eyes and a tail wrapped around her. And when she looked at me... we both knew what the other was. Her dress was stained with blood. 'A Saiyan child...'
As Deku knelt down to comfort the terrified girl she shrunk away from him, and the Saiyan glared at him making him stop in place... but then we heard foot steps. "Eri, Ka'ne. Don't make your selves issues for the young heroes." The distorted voice of a tall man, in a green fur collared jacket. His gold eyes framed by brown hair.
'Kai Chisaki.' I thought to myself.
Ka'ne, or at least I assumed it was Ka'ne as that was a Saiyan name, pulled Eri behind me, her eyes glaring daggers at the man. "Chisaki." Deku said as he stood up.
"Oh, you know me? How is that?" He asked, his eyes narrowing.
"Ha ha hah, are you kidding me, you are somewhat famous around here. Keeping a Yakuza group alive in the modern age of heroes." Mirio laughed if off as he pulled Deku's mask over his face. "Hey, you need too really get that mask refitted." And he shot me a look. And a I relaxed me face as I looked at him.
"I see, I hope my daughters didn't give you too much trouble." His eyes never left me. I could read the look in them with ease.
'He knows. He knows what Saiyans are.' I put a hand behind me patting the heads of the too girls. "No, not at all." I looked down at the two girls and I could read in Ka'ne's eyes that he was lying.
"Well in that case. Eri, Ka'ne come on." He gestured with his gloved hand. I gave a quick glance at Mirio, and the look he gave was to let them go, as Eri clutched on to me.
"Please... don't go." She was trembling. Her fear was almost so thick I could taste it.
"She's trembling, and their both covered in bandages." Said as I picked the two up. "What are you doing to these children? And... I know you were..."
I was cut off by a punch to shoulder and nervous laugh by Mirio. "Hey we should get moving, it isn't our place to question his parenting style."
'Her clothes are stained in blood.' I gave a look and annoyance.
Chisaki sighed. "I guess there is no way out of this. I try and try to discipline the two of them, but they just won't listen."
"Kid's am I right." Mirio said shoving me again to get me to drop the kids. "We really should get going Saiyan."
"Saiyan... what a strange hero name. I think I have heard it before. Then again, I don't think I have seen any of you before." Chisaki said.
"Oh, we are just students doing our intern ships." Mirio had a large drop of sweat roll down his neck.
"Well... seeing as we are in this predicament, and I would rather keep my life private, follow me." Chisaki turned around, and the three of us hesitantly followed. The human child clutched into my clothes as Ka'ne leaned into my ear.
"Please... I'm sorry I failed my mission... don't hurt Eri." her fingers dug into my arm.
"I'm not here about that." I whispered to her.
"Please... I just want to get back to Vegeta." I gulped hard at that. "I want to keep her safe."
I looked back at Chisaki... and my scouter told me his power level was rising... he was about to use his quirk! His finger partially pulled off his glove and Eri jumped from my arms and ran over to him. "So you decided to calm down from your fit?" He asked as he placed his bare hand on her shoulder. "Ka'ne, come on, we are going home."
The Saiyan girl glared at him but leapt from my arms. "A-are you sure?" Deku asked.
"Hey, we need to finish our patrol." Mirio steered us out of the ally, but my eyes never left Chisaki's until we left the ally.
'You... are a monster.' I thought to myself.
I rested cross legged on a glowing blue platform that floated along side Fatgum, Kirishima, and Amajiki. All of us were in our hero costumes. "You know, we have been needing a combat and a tech hero for a while now." Fatgum said as he ate from a tray of sweets with a tooth pick. The large hero had the appetite to rival a Saiyan's. "Sun Eater is good, but he lacks the confidence to take it to the next level." He said, the teen in question his deeper into his white hood, his hero costume had a vest covered in pockets filled with bags of food, I could smell it.
"Don't worry man, It's amazing that you got this far." Kirishima slapped him on the back with a laugh.
"Y-yeah... right." He said.
"Is... that the villain child?" I looked too my side and saw a group of people shrink away from me. The woman who had spoken looked away from me.
"Yeah, I heard he's some sort of monster." a man by her said.
I curled up into a ball. 'Maybe I should just get off this world... it would be better for all of them.' I felt a hand land on my shoulder.
"Hey kid, don't worry about them. I know it'll be hard but I know you can prove your self." I looked up at the smiling fat hero. "You got a second chance, to make things right."
I sighed, 'If you knew the things I helped happen... You would be the first one to lock me away.' I looked away from the hero, 'I may not have been the one to pull the trigger, but because of me, millions are dead. Because I couldn't fight back.' A hand ruffled my hair and I looked up at Kirishima.
"Cheer up man. I know your better then that." He said like he had read my mind. "We are heroes now, so let's do our best."
"R-right." I said as I readjusted my dual eye scouter, the full moon was out tonight and I didn't want to turn into an Oozaru if I didn't need too.
"Besides, what could possibly happen." He said at that moment we heard the shattering of glass as a group of men in suits ran out a casino with arms full of money bags, guns and knifes in hand.
"You should have paid up when you had the chance!" Their leader yelled out as the entire group a bear hugged by Fatgum. "HMMPH!"
One of them escaped with their quirk shooting up into the sky seeming to fold in on himself. "Damn, one got away!" Fatgum yelled as I raised a hand to him and the palm of my hand glowed with blue power as I shot him out of the sky with a bolt of energy. He hit the ground trying to scamper off, but Amajiki stood on top of him, his feet becoming talons pinning him too the ground and his fingers octopus tentacles that pinned his arms together.
"Not a bad shot." Amajiki said. "You reacted faster then I could."
I looked over at Kirishima, who looked dejected that he hadn't been able to help. "Damn it." he cursed to him self as I stood up on my platform.
"Don't worry man, it was all to quick, you'll get it next time." I said.
"Y-yeah..." He looked away as the men were arrested...
BANG!
We jumped as we heard a gunshot, Sun Eater stumbled back holding his shoulder. I scanned the crowd and I spotted an terrified man holding a gun, he squeezed the Trigger again, and...
BANG!
Kirishima blocked the bullet with his hardened skin as he jumped in front of Amajiki. I rushed the man and he pushed through the crowd. I heard Kirishima shout back as we chased him down a side street that ended in a dead end, a few people looked at the three of us in confusion. "Stop!" Kirishima shouted as the man turned around and slashed at with blades that came of his forearm. The Sturdy hero blocked them with his arm. I put up a barrier behind the man as Kirishima slammed a fist into the mans stomach.
He fell to his hands and knees crying. "I just wanted to help my friends."
"Oh, great, hey it wasn't manly to shoot a man unaware." Kirishima went to pick the man up, but again he slashed at my classmate, but this time my blue blast hit him in the face sending him to the ground. "I just wanted to get stronger, with such a weak quirk, I can't do anything." Tears ran down his face.
"Great... one of these types." I said as I landed on the ground. "Come on, there is better ways of getting stronger then crime man." I said as I reached out, but something caught my eye, in the mans hand was a vial with a needle at one end with a swirling red and black liquid. He stabbed it into his leg and threw Kirishima off of him crashing into a wall. "The hell!" I leaped back as her growled in pain.
"What did he inject himself with?" Kirishima asked.
"I have no idea." I said as my gloves glowed with power... but what happened I didn't expect.
His hair darkened to black, his canines became far more pronounced, and following the sound of ripping cloth a tail sprouted, his eyes became blood red as he continued to mutate, his chest and arms expanding tearing his shirt and jacket. Brown fur grew on his chest. And his became a elongated into a snarling maw, it was like a human sized Oozaru. And the blades shot out of his body at random breaking stone and glass as I threw up barriers to protect the bystanders as well as me and Kirishima.
"What the hell!?" I leapt backas he thrust his hand forward, blades sinking deep into the ground where I had been standing. I blasted them sending metal shard flying.
"I'LL KILL YOU!" The beast yelled as he charged us. I threw a barrier at him forcing him back but it only held for a second before it broke and he attacked me again, only from Kirishima to take the hit. The blades cut through his quirk and blood splattered over me. I blasted him in the face with a concentrated beam that made him take a few steps back. I couldn't get a read on his power level, it was all over the place.
'The hell is this? There is no way this is natural.' I growled as I looked around, the civilians were frozen in horror... 'I need to end this fast.' I looked up and removed my scouter throwing it to the side and I felt the moon's blutz waves fill me with power. My tail twitched as I grew in size. Soon I towered over the beast man and I brought my foot down on him...
That was a mistake due to my lack of fighting experience.
A large amount of blade ran up through my foot, my leg and thigh. I roared in pain as I fell backwards as more sliced open my back and destroyed my generator, then came the sharp numbing pain as my tail was sliced off. Immediately I shrunk down and fell to the ground, my leg next to destroyed. I looked at him as a wave of blades raced towards me, and Kirishima jumped in the way, his whole body hardened. When the incoming attack hit him, it didn't cut him, instead he held it back as the blades bent and shattered. "RED RIOT UNBREAKABLE!" He ran towards the villain, blades cutting away at his hero costume, breaking his way through until we was point blank and landed a thunderous blow on the beasts maw breaking it before following it up with a blow to the ribs, the wet crunch was followed by a gargled wheeze.
Gut blow, chest, face, gut, face, over and over and over. The two fought back and forth, blood spilling from both until. "RED GUN TURRET!" One mighty blow felled the abomination, it fell to the ground, unconscious. "That's... what... you get!" He shouted to the night sky as Paramedics ran over along with Fatgum.
"Oh, god!" He looked at the... whatever he had become... Then at me. "It'll be alright, we'll get you to the hospital." The paramedics tied up my leg to stop the bleeding. "Kirishima, go with him! I'll make sure the Villain is detained!" He yelled as I was loaded up onto a ambulance. The pain was numb... all I could feel was that pain from where my tail should be.
Kirishima got in and grabbed my shoulder. "I'll be alright little buddy. I'm here." But my vision was fading from the blood loss.
Hey. Not as long as I would have liked for this one. But do you think I should keep them shorter or make them even longer from now on?
