Author's notes: Thanks for reading thus far and special thanks for the reviews. Let's go!
Inside the crater where the fighting pit used to be, a man walked around with his phone on his hands. Streaming. The man was in a parking lot when it happened and ran straight for the location in order to get his hands on some content.
He had over 300 viewers a few minutes after he posted he was going live.
"Holy shit chat..." He said as he did a slow 360º inside the crater. "What the fuck happened here?"
"Go to the center and do that again." Someone on chat said.
"You're crazy. I'm not going deeper than this." He responded with a laughting tone. " Let's see if we can find someone."
He then started to walk even deeper inside the crater. The ground texture changed from the normal concrete to lose dirt. "Check this out." He pushed his foot in the ground.
"Look at how lose it is." He said as his foot went halfway into the dirt. "Maybe an after effect of the villain's quirk, chat."
He continued even further. "Dude... what the fuck? It's getting worst" He said as he showed the stream his arm hairs standing up. "I'm getting chils. What the fuck! I'm feeling some sort of dark presence here. It's coming from..." He stopped and started to rethink his decisions in life.
"YOU SPIN ME RIGHT ROUND, BABY. RIGHT ROUND..." The man jumped in fear. He looked at his phone and realized he just got a 5 dollars donation.
"Turn back before the cops show up! Also 2k viewers? PogChamp!" The text to speach read.
"2k viewers?! PogChamp Chat! This is crazy. Also, thanks for your donation, kind sir." The man turned the camera to his face and said with a fake smile. He was still feeling a bit freaked out, but now he felt as if his fears had a point of origin and now he wanted leave fast.
"Alright, guys." He said nervously. "I'm gonna head out now. The cops should..." He stopped talking.
"Yo dude what's going on?"
"?"
"ResidentSlepper" The chat started to spam him. All they could see is his face as he looked scarred expression. He started to move his mouth but no sound came out. He quickly turned his camera around.
They saw a monster. A man with red glowing eyes, purple gi and with death written all over him.
"This is no place for someone like you." The man said as he away from the center. His voice was strong and full of rage.
"Did you do this..." The words escaped from his mouth. Curiosity was greater than fear.
"Humpf" The man said as he continued to walk away.
The streamer now was in a state of panick. He rushed towards the Akuma hungry for content.
"Wait!Who are you?" He asked.
"..." The man stopped. "I am Gouki! Master of the fist!" Akuma turned around.
"And for all of those who consider themselfs to be strong. I am your enemy!" He screamed right before jumping outside of the camera view. The streamer tried to adjust but it was futile.
"YOU SPIN ME RIGHT ROUND, BABY. RIGHT ROUND... That was intense. You better switch your pants, chat, cause I just did that. Let the Monkas spam begin." The text to speach said.
The sirens got even closer now. "I gotta go now, chat. Stream's off."
At the hero meeting in UA on the following day
"This is getting ridiculous!" Endeavour said as he hit his hand on the table.
"The press is really eating that up." The rodeon said while he drank some tea. "What do think about this, Eraser?"
"That's the worst villain incident in years. AllMight as his work cut out for him and we have ours, Principal Nezu" He responded
"Yes." Nezu nodded as he turned off the TV. AllMight was about to give a public speach to calm down the people.
"While that is good and all we need to stop that villain." Endeavour said followed by punching the table again and this time he knocked over his cup of tea. "What do we know of Gouki? I went as far as I could but got nothing on him."
"I got nothing on him either." Eraser said while yawning. "I've been working non stop for a few days but nothing turned up."
Nezu scratched his chin. "Hum... Nothing here. All my conections and the best we have is a two question interview and a declarion Gouki said in a stream."
"Are we sure that guys was not in on it somehow?" Eraser said. "After all, he got close to such a strong villain and recorded him. I'm surprised he's alive."
Nezu shook his head. "He was just a pretty dumb citizen who didn't care about his own life. The police got him right after he turned the stream off. He's unrelated."
"How did the cops let him get there anyways?" Endeavour said with an even more angrier tone. "They took too much time to get there."
"Actually..." Nezu said as he poared another cup of tea for Endeavour. "According with the reports. The first responders felt unneasy as they aproached the place. They stopped for a while to muster up their corage as they got closer."
"Muster up their corage? What are they talking about?" Endeavour asked.
"Mostlikely it is the same sensation that you described to me before, Endeavour." Eraser answered. "But on a bigger scale."
Nezu nodded again. "Most of the people evacuated the area without even being asked to. They said they felt the need to move away from that place." He drank another cup of tea. "Even the animals ran too. Only people with odd personalities, like that streamer, were able to get close or remain near it for more than a few minutes."
"That quirk of his..." Endeavour pulled a file and placed it at the table. "What is it?"
"It can make people feel fear and want to leave. That purple energy is mostlikely the source." Nezu said as he read it. "Is this information correct?" He asked.
Endeavour nodded. "After that explosion last night. We got reports that many people felt what they described as an instictual fear for their lifes, but that was not all." He grabbed another piece of paper from an envelope. "At the same time on a Tartarus, an inmate began to exude that same purple energy..."
Both Nezu and Eraser were surprised.
"He began destroying his own cell and got all the way to the city. He would have escaped if he had survived."
"What about his quirk?" Eraser asked.
"The police killed him?" Nezu asked.
Endeavour shook his head. "His quirk was being able to read people's thoughts as long as he kept physical contact. Nothing that would allow him to do that." He grabbed his phone out of his pocket.
"And the police didn't kill him. After fighting for a bit, he grabbed his own chest in pain and fell down. He died on the way to the hospital."
Nezu started to scratch his chin even more. "Take a look at this."
Both Eraser and Nezu looked at Endeavour's phone. It was a video from the camera inside the cell. "The inmate was sleaping soundly until..."
"Gouki's attack." Nezu finished the sentance.
The inmate started to glow witha purple light. After a few seconds, he woke up and started to show Gouki's energy coming from his body. He screamed loudly and the guard went to check on him. The inmate destroyed the door with a single punch and ran away from the cell.
"This part is the most interesting." Endeavour said as he rewinded 10 seconds and played it frame by frame. It showed a purple aura rushing throught the room.
"This is the pulse from the explosion." Nezu said.
Endeavour nooded. "It travelled all the way there and affected the villain. Giving him power."
They all went silent for a few seconds. "What sort of behavior did the inmate displayed before this?" Eraser asked.
Endeavour grabbed the file of the table. "(Murderous tendencies of the likes we have never seen. This individual leaves and breathes to kill and cause human suffering. While most of the time, he behaves like a normal person, never be fooled.) etc etc etc... Here it is. (The inmate behavior changed abruptly last night. He became more distressed than usual screaming that he's 'murder itch was never this strong before' and that he 'needed to kill'. We put him to sleep with some tranquilezer so he could calm down. In the morning, his state improved and he went back to normal, but more observation is adviced."
"And before he was caught?" Nezu asked.
"Usual sadist." Endeavour said. "He liked to hurt people, to use his quirk to read people's thoughts and fell their emotions. The other villains said he got some kind of rush from it and that they kept him at a distance so he didn't target them. Disgusting." Endeavour added.
Eraser raised an eyebrow. "So Gouki's quirk affected him? Turned on the kill engine that was inside the this villain and then killed him?It had a psychological, gave him enought power to break out of Tartarus and then killed him?What sort of quirk is that?"
"There is also the possibility that Gouki himself is being affected by the quirk." Nezu said with a sad tone.
"He could be a affected of his own quirk? That's just expeculation." Endeavour said. "Why are you turning him into a victim so quickly, Nezu? He's a villain and needs to be taken down."
"If that aspect of his quirk is a passive effect that could be the case." Eraser said. "But if he's activating it willing with his quirk than he is responsable for it. Whatever the case we need to stop him before he starts to turn every single violent person out there into another version of himself."
They all nodded. "Can you stop his quirk, Eraser?" Endeavour asked.
"I think I can. Endeavour, you said that his energy started to grow before he hit you, right?"
Endeavour nodded.
"If my theory is correct he is activating his quirk by focus. Meaning that I can cancel it." Eraser said with a satisfied tone.
"Okay, then." Nezu said. " We will use your quirk to cancel Gouki's and then Endeavour goes in to arrest him. We will get a team of police officers and AllMight just in case."
Endeavour was not happy. "If you're gonna get Allmight, why not just ask him to get the villain?"
Eraser shook his head. "If we put AllMight in front of him he could try to put up a fight right away since he wants to fight powerfull opponents. What would happened if we put the most powerfull hero right in front of him?"
Nezu nodded. "We want him not fight. If you show up he will underestimate you giving time to Eraser to use his quirk and position himself. After that, you go in and take him down. Plan B will be AllMight and Plan C... the military... I think." Nezu said with a small chuckle.
"I'll take him down even if Eraser fails." Said Endeavour.
Nezu gave a big chuckle. "I'm counting on your, Endeavour."
"But... how are we going to fing him?" Eraser asked.
Nezu raised one finger. "When Gouki uses his quirk everyone around him feels it, meaning that if someone describes that feeling he is nearby, and animals seems to be more sensitive to that energy."
"You can feel where he is?Right now?" Endeavour asked.
Nezu nodded. "But that's just if he uses it at that scale. We need to look for him in other ways too, but we could use local reports of that feeling to know his general location."
"That's not good enought." Endeavour said.
"I know." Eraser responded. "We'll have to work harder."
At an hidden location
The big plasma TV was on and it showed Akuma's image. "This is the villain Gouki." The reporter said.
"He showed up recently and is the main suspect of this attack." The image changed to a helicopter where they were showing the damage he had caused.
"Gouki's quirk is unknow, but it's belived to be an enhanced type quirk. According to the police, his quirk also appears to have a psychological effect in whoever is nearby. If you see or feel intense fear or dread, please inform the police at this number." The number was displayed and then it showed the two news anchors.
"He's a scary villain indeed, but AllMight will take care of it in no time. Take a look at his speach."
"HA HA HA!" AllMight got up and did his usual pose. "Yesterday's attack was a first in years, but fear not because I'm here." He said with confidence. Everyone started making tons of questions, but the clip was cut.
"That was the highlight of his conferance, but it is as AllMight said. This was the first big villain attack after he became the number one hero. What..." The TV was turned off.
"What do you think about him?"
"It does not matter. He killed Rappa and we need to get revenge for him. As soon as we get a few anti-quirk ammo ready. We hunt him down."
"As you wish, Overhaul".
And that's that. Thanks for reading.
