Chapter 28.
Reunions.
Sir Nighteye agency.
Izuku is facing Sir Nighteye. – "The eight precepts of death? No, I'd never heard of them."-
- "Just as I suspected."- Sir Nighteye said as he took some pictures. The first one he shows him is Chisaki's photo, Izuku recognized him instantly. – "I see you recognize it. This guy is Chisaki Kai. He is the leader of a group of the Yakuza."-
- "Yakuza? The Yakuza has long since ceased to be a problem."- Izuku said.
- "That's right, but this guy has managed to gather a new Yakuza and has started to make strange movements. Not only that, but a few days also ago he contacted the league of villains."- Sir Nighteye said.
- "The League of Villains!?"- Izuku said in a surprised tone.
- "Yes, but it's just a rumour. Without direct evidence that he's planning something, we can't charge him. In my office we are looking for evidence to corroborate their criminal activities without them suspecting anything."- Sir Nighteye said.
- "And what about the girl? If I'm not mistaken, Chisaki called her Eri."- Izuku said. – "Her arms and legs were bandaged...if only there was a way to protect her..."-
- "I'm going to stop you there."- Sir Nigheye said. – "We can't rush things. If you had tried anything, you would have only complicated things. We have to act when we know we are ready."-
- "So, we let a girl suffer because... we don't have enough data?"- Izuku said. – "I could have taken her; I could have saved her!" –
- "You would have caused more problems."-
- "You don't know that!" - Izuku yells, after several seconds of silence, Izuku regains his calm. – "I'm sorry... it's just... I'm frustrated. I understand what you mean, but that doesn't mean I like it."-
Sir Nighteye remains silent. - "Mirio said you are a student. Which hero are you working with?"-
- "I'm working with Ryukyu...wait! Ryukyu! She must be wondering where I am!"- Izuku said.
- "So, Ryukyu... in that case I need you to deliver a message for me."- Sir Nighteye said.
…
…
…
Ryukyu agency.
Izuku was back at the Ryukyu agency, upon entering he would meet Melissa who was somewhat angry with him.
- "Izuku! Where were you?! You left me alone and I couldn't find you!"- Melissa said, but to her surprise Izuku didn't reply and walked past her. – "Izuku…"-
- "I need to talk to Ryukyu... alone."- Izuku said as he entered Ryukyuu's office.
Inside the office, Ryukyu is going through the paperwork, but stops when she sees Izuku enter. – "You're finally back, Agni, Melissa told me what happened. Where were you?"-
- "I have a message from Sir Nighteye."- Izuku quickly said.
- "Nighteye?"- Ryukyu's expression changed to one of seriousness. – "Tell me everything."-
Izuku tells Ryukyu everything that happened, from when he separated from Melissa to his talk with Sir Nighteye. – "After that, Sir Nighteye asked me to say that he is seeking help from other professionals to resolve the matter of the eight precepts of death."-
- "And he wants me to be one of those proffesionals."- Ryukyu said.
- "Correct."-
- "I see... very well, I'm going to talk to him. For now, you and Melissa can go back to UA. You guys are done for today."- Ryukyu said. – "One more thing, at the moment we don't have to tell this to anyone else. Until I talk to Nighteye, this has to be kept secret."-
Izuku just nods and leaves the office.
…
…
…
Next week.
Cafeteria.
The rest of the days passed normally, in the morning Izuku and Melissa attended normal classes, and, in the afternoon, they left with Ryukyu. Only one thing was different, Izuku these days has been more serious and quieter than usual, besides being distracted most of the time.
Izuku's friends are eating in the school cafeteria, they are all watching Izuku, who hasn't taken a bite of his food since it was served to him, all this time he is in his thoughts, so much so that he doesn't even notice that his friends are talking about him.
- "Hey Melissa... do you know what happens to Deku-kun?"- Uraraka asked.
- "No, it's been like this ever since we got back from the Ryukyu agency."- Melissa said.
- "Something must have happened for him to be like this, even in training he is distracted."- Shinso said.
- "Something must have happened for him to be like this, even in training he is distracted."- Iida said.
- "Well... there was a time when we separated, maybe something happened, but he didn't want to say anything to me."- Melissa said.
- "We have to find out what happened and help him. Clearly something is bothering him."- Todoroki said.
- "I'm going to ask him tonight."- Melissa said.
- "Good idea, besides Shinso, you are the closest to Midoriya. And I don't think Shinso can take his problems out of him."- Todoroki said.
- "Did you guys say something?"- Izuku suddenly said.
Everyone tensed a bit in surprise. - "Emm... We were talking about Kaminari!"- Melissa quickly said.
- "Y-Yeah! Since the end of classes, he left and has not returned."- Shinso said.
- "True… I wonder where he had gone."- Izuku said. Everyone sighs in relief, they managed to avoid the subject.
…
…
…
With Kaminari.
- "W-What?"- One person said, it was Tamaki Amajiki, a third year.
- "You heard me."- kaminari said. – "You are also working with a hero, right?"-
- "Y-Yeah… I am working with Fat Gum."- Tamaki said.
- "In that case... Can you ask him to accept me to do my hero work studies?!"- Kaminari asked with a bow.
- "W-what? Do you want to work with Fat Gum? Why?"- Tamaki asked.
- "Since I entered the UA I have always been below the majority, it was recently that I was able to demonstrate what I am capable of. I want to keep moving forward until I become a great hero."- Kaminari said. – "Also... the fight against Beelzemon showed me that I should get stronger, otherwise I won't be able to help anyone."-
Tamaki doesn't say anything. - "His determination is admirable. I was going to talk to the red-haired boy, but this boy showed me that he has the determination to work with Fat Gum."- He thought. – "Very well. I don't promise that he will accept you just for the sake of it, but I will tell Fat Gum about you."- Tamaki said.
- "Really?! Thank you very much Amajiki-senpai!"- Kamiari said.
- "D-Don't mention it…"- Tamaki said.
- "Tell him that if he accepts me, he won't regret it!"- Kaminari said.
- "Y-You know what... if you want you can come with me this afternoon to see Fat Gum, so you can talk to him directly."- Tamaki said.
- "Really!? Of course!"- Kaminari said.
- "G-Good... you can go back to your class; I'll pick you up at your dorm."- Tamaki said.
- "Right, see you later Amajiki-senpai!"- Kaminari said as he left the place.
Tamaki takes a sigh to calm down. – "He's quite an interesting boy. There is no doubt that Fat Gum will accept him."-
…
…
…
Later.
The city was quiet, but suddenly two guys, giants, destroy a building while they are fighting each other.
- "A dispute between villains began, two subjects with a gigantification quirk."- A police officer said.
In midair, Nejire arrives on the scene. - "Full load. Output: 30"- Nejire said while charges her Wave Motion. – "Wring Wave!"- She then blasts her enemies with two powerful waves from each hand.
Both villains fall to the ground, one of them manages to get up, but... – "Pyro Punch! / Flowery Gust!"- With a joint attack, Izuku and Melissa take down the villain.
- "Nice job."- Ryukyu said upon arrival.
- "Yes! You did great. You two work very well as a team."- Nejire said.
- "Thanks"- Izuku and Melissa said.
Suddenly, the second villain rises from the ground. – "You haven't beaten me yet!"-
The four prepare to fight, but... – "Not so fast villain!"- Someone jumps from the building next to them.
That person is recognized by Izuku and Melissa. – "Kaminari-kun?! / Kaminari?!"-
Kaminari lands on the villain's face. – "Hello! And goodbye! Punishment Shock!"- And releasing a large amount of electricity, he knocks down the villain.
- "Who's that?"- Ryukyu asked.
- "He is a classmate of ours."- Melissa said.
Fat Gum and Tamaki arrive at the place. - "Good job Chargebolt. But next time try not to be so hasty when acting."- The hero said.
- "Yes sir!"- Kaminari said while doing a military salute. In that he realizes who else was there. – "Guys! You are here too!"- He said as he walked over to Melissa and Izuku.
As they talk, Fat Gum approaches Ryukyu. – "I see you're here too, Ryukyu."- Fat Gum said. – "Are you ready for what's about to happen?"-
- "Yes, that case must be very important for Sir Nighteye to need a lot of professional help."- Ryukyu said.
- "And what about the students?"- Fat Gum said.
- "I think they are ready. So, I'm going to take them with me."- Ryukyu said. – "Also, Midoriya won't forgive me if I don't bring him." –
- "You know, I was thinking the same thing. The kid needs to improve some details, but he is ready."- Fat Gum said.
- "I hope we are doing the right thing."-
- "Me too, but this is not the time to think about that."- Fat Gum said. – "Chargebotl, SunEater it's time to go."-
- "Right / Right!"- Both said, after this, the trio leaves.
…
…
…
Ryukyu agency.
Izuku finished changing into his UA uniform. Although what happened before had made him think of something else, now he couldn't help but remember what happened with Eri and Chisaki. Although Sir Nighteye told him that he did the right thing, inside himself he can't help but feel guilty.
- "Izuku…"- A voice snapped him out of his thoughts. Turning around, he realizes it's Melissa. – "Are you okay?"-
- "Y-Yes... I'm just thinking about today."- He lied.
- "Izuku... I know you're lying. Something is bothering you."- Melissa said in a worried tone. – "Please... tell me what's wrong with you."-
Unable to hold on like this, Izuku decides to tell Melissa what happened. – "And that's it..."-
Melissa was speechless. – "I see... it's definitely a hard thing to process."-
- "That is not all. Eri-chan... I had her in my hands, I could have saved her."- Izuku punches the wall in frustration. – "But I couldn't do anything! Just watch how Eri-chan went back to that guy!" - Izuku opens his eyes when he feels Melissa hug him, Izuku returns the hug.
- "It must be hard to think about that, right? All this time have you felt this way?"-
- "Yes…"-
- "It must be hard to carry these feelings without being able to tell anyone."- Melissa looks straight into Izuku's eyes and gives him a small smile. – "But you don't have to keep worrying about it anymore. You can tell me. I will always be with when you need it."-
- "Melissa..."-
They both watched each other, still embracing, little by little bringing their faces closer, until the moment their lips meet. After several seconds, they part their lips.
- "I-I-I…"- Izuku, red-faced, tried to say something.
Melissa puts her finger to his lips. - "Do not say anything."- Melissa continues with the hug.
Izuku also continues with the hug. - "Thank you."-
…
…
…
With Kaminari.
Kaminari, Tamaki, and Fat Gum were heading back to Fat Gum's agency. – "Once we get back, that will be all for today."-
- "Yes. Thanks for accepting me."- Kaminari said.
- "I like that attitude."- Fat Gum said.
- "Villains! Somebody, help!"- Someone yelled.
Suddenly, four guys run out. Fat Gum manages to catch them. However, one of them uses his quirk to sneak away. – "You won't catch me!"- However, Tamaki catches the villain with his fingers transformed into octopus tentacles. – "An octopus?!"-
Tamaki Amajiki.
Quirk: Manifest.
Tamaki's Quirk grants him the ability to manifest the physical characteristics of anything he's eaten; for example, if he eats takoyaki, he can transform his fingers into octopus tentacles. Additionally, anything he manifests is significantly stronger than normal, the more of a substance Tamaki eats, the stronger his manifestation will be.
Tamaki attracts the villain with his tentacles and with his other hand, transformed into a clam, he hits the villain and knocks him out.
- "Good job, Suneater."- Fat Gum said.
- "Awesome!"- Kaminari said.
Suddenly, in the crowd, a guy with a gun, points at Tamaki. – "Watch out!"- Fat Gum said.
The guy fires and the bullet hits Tamaki's shoulder. – "Senpai!"- Kaminari charges at the guy, but he shoots at Kaminari, the bullet hits him in the head, but it bounces thanks to Kaminari's exoskeleton.
- "Suneater, Chargebolt!"- Fat Gum said while the subject runs away.
- "Don't worry, I'll catch him!"- Kaminari said as he starts chasing the guy.
- "I'll catch him with my octopus!"- Tamaki said. However, nothing happens. – "My quirk won't activate!"-
Meanwhile, Kaminari followed the guy into an alley, which has no exit at the end of it.
- "You don't have an escape!"- Kaminari said.
- "Shut up!"- The guy said as three blades come out of his arm and tries to attack Kaminari, however these blades have no effect against Kaminari's exoskeleton.
Taking advantage of this, Kaminari punches the guy in the face, knocking him down. – "I held back not to hurt you too much, so you'd better give up!"-
- "It's not fair, it's not fair! I have to save my brothers!" - The guy said while injecting himself with something. Suddenly, multiple blades come out of the guy's body, Kaminari tries to dodge them.
- "He got stronger all of a sudden!"- Kaminari thought, after this, she turns to see the civilians who were there. – "Everyone, stand back! Go to a safe place where the blades will not reach you!"-
The guy attacks again with the blades, this time they manage to cut Kaminari. – "He went through my exoskeleton!"-
- "You're not so arrogant anymore, are you?!"- The guy said and attacks again.
Kaminari quickly releases a bunch of electricity which is conducted through the blades and electrocutes the guy a bit, however the blades manage to cut him as well.
The guy recovers and attacks with a bunch of blades at Kaminari. Kaminari surrounds herself with electricity and begins to advance through the blades, smashing them to pieces. Once close to the guy, he brings both hands together into a fist, raises them and... – "Thunder Fist!"- he hits the guy with his fists and electrocutes him until he is unconscious.
- "Incredible! He made it!"- A civilian said.
- "Chargebolt!"- Fat Gum arrives on the scene. – "I see you caught it. Good job."-
Running out of energy, Kaminari reverts to her human form. - "Thanks."-
- "Thanks a lot, young man!"- A civilian said.
- "You're amazing, now I'm your fan."- A girl said.
- "You defeated him while keeping us from getting hurt. You did something some heroes wouldn't. You really saved us."- Another civilian said.
- "You will be an amazing hero in the future, I'm sure!"- The first civilian said.
Kaminari smiles at these words. - "Thank you!"-
…
…
…
Next day.
Class 1-A.
- "Look! It's your hero name! You are on the internet!"- Sero told Kaminari as he showed him the news on the phone.
- "Deku-kun! Melissa! You two are also in the news!"- Uraraka told them as she also showed the news to Izuku and Melissa.
- "Although our licenses are professional, out there we are all heroes. Good job!" - Iida said. – "But school always comes first for students! Don't fall asleep in class!"-
- "Maybe it's because of last night's excitement, but even studying sounds great! I'm ready!"- Kaminari said.
- "That's the spirit, Kaminari!"- Izuku said however, his thoughts were still focused on Eri. Although talking to Melissa helped, he was still thinking about what had happened, but he wasn't so distracted anymore.
…
…
…
Some days after.
Kaminari was coming out of the dorms; Fat Gum has called him to meet at an address. But he wasn't the only one, Izuku and Melissa had also left the dorms at the same time. – "Oh, Midoriya, Melissa, you guys are going out too!"-
- "Yes, although we were told that it is not necessary to wear our hero costumes."- Izuku said.
- "I guess you're also going to the station, right? Let's go together!"- Kaminari said.
Once at the station... – "We all go to the same train? Kaminari, aren't you supposed to go to Kansai?"- Melissa asked.
- "Yes, but today's meeting place is different."- Kaminari said.
Once on the train...
- "We headed to the same station, what a coincidence, don't you think?"- Kaminari said.
Once out of the station...
- "We even go to the same direction; this is clearly not a coincidence."- Izuku said.
Once arriving at the place, the three were welcomed by three familiar faces.
- "The big three are here too..."- Melissa said.
Upon entering the place, they are surprised to see the number of professionals in the place. Among them are Ryukyu, Fat Gum, Eraserhead, Sir Nighteye, among other heroes.
- "What's going on in here?"- Kaminari asked.
- "Aizawa-sensei is here too!"- Izuku said.
- "Ryukyu!"- Nejire said. – "What's going on? What are we going to do? What kind of meeting are we going to have?"-
- "You'll know soon. Sir Nighteye, I think it's time to start."- Ryukyu said.
- "Thanks to the information that everyone has provided, I have managed to make a breakthrough in the progress of my investigation."- Sir Nighteye said. – "I have called everyone to this meeting to share the information, and also to discuss the procedure that we will take against the organization called The Eight Precepts of Death. Please, sit down."- After this, everyone starts taking seats at several tables which are arranged in a "U" and in front of everyone Nighteye is sitting.
- "For several weeks now, we have been keeping an eye on a certain group of villains called the Eight Precepts of Death. During this time of investigation, there was a rapid increase in contact between members of this organization with people outside of it. But the contact that most caught our attention was the following."- Sir Nighteye said. The screen shows how Chisaki was following Twice. – "A few weeks ago, Chisaki, the leader, came into contact with Jin Bubaigawara, a member of the League of Villains known as Twice."-
- "So, chances are the league will get involved as well."- Aizawa said.
Suddenly, a hero interrupts the conversation. - "I have a problem with this meeting."- He said before pointing towards Izuku and his classmates. – "What are they doing here? I know they are UA students, but they are too young to be here."-
I have to stop you there. Although they are students, I think they have the experience to be with us.
- "I have to stop you there. Although they are students, I think they have the experience to be with us."- Fat Gum said.
Sir Nighteye interrupts this discussion. – "Going back to the point. There are reasons to believe that the precepts are involved in the sale of illegal drugs."-
- "It's true."- Fat Gum said. – "The other day, during the tough Chargebolt battle, Tamaki was shot with something I hadn't seen before."- Fat Gum gets up from his chair. – "A drug that erases quirks."-
This surprises everyone. – "Tamaki! Are you ok?"- Mirio said.
- "Yes, after sleeping I returned to normal."- Tamaki said.
- "After Tamaki was shot, we took him to the hospital to see what happened, and it turns out his quirk was attacked. Luckily, he managed to recover."- Fat Gum said. – "Unfortunately, the guy who shot doesn't say anything and the gun was destroyed, however..."- Fat Gum turns to see Kaminari. – "The guy tried to shoot Kaminari-kun, and thanks to his exoskeleton the bullet managed to bounce, and we managed to get that bullet with all its contents inside."-
- "I did what?"- Kaminari said.
- "As for the content... something terrible came out from within..."- Fat Gum's expression changed to one of disgust. – "The bullet contained blood and human cells."-
This surprises everyone, at this moment, Izuku remembers the bandages on Eri's body.
- "And what does this have to do with the eight precepts of death?"- A hero asked.
- "The quirk of the boss, Chisaki, villain name Overhaul, grants him the ability to disassemble anything he touches, as well as reassemble it in any configuration he desires, effectively giving him full control over matter."- Sir Nighteye said. – "Chisaki has a daughter, when Midoriya found her, her arms and legs were completely bandaged. In other words, he's using his daughter's body to make those bullets."-
- "And you had her in front of you and didn't rescue her?!"- A hero, Rock Lock, told Izuku who clenches his fists out of impotence. – "You let that girl go back to that guy!?"-
- "Rock Lock! Don't you think you're being..." - Ryukyu started to say, however a knock on the table interrupted her, Izuku got up from his place and it was he who hit the table hard.
- "You want to shut up!"- This answer left everyone surprised. – "Do you think I don't feel bad about what happened?! I had Eri in my arms! She begged me not to go! I could have saved her! But I didn't... I let her go back to that guy! If I could go back in time and change things I would!" - Tears began to flow from Izuku's eyes. – "I'm here to save Eri, not for someone to tell me I was wrong to let her go! Tell me! What would you have done?! Under the same circumstances, the stress of the moment, and not knowing what was really happening! What would you have done?!"-
- "Midoriya!"- Ryukyu said.
Hearing this, Izuku takes a deep breath and sits back down. - "I'm sorry... I just feel frustrated."-
- "I understand you, and that is why our objective, from now on, will be to rescue Eri."- Sir Nighteye said. – "We have investigated everything, we have not left a single stone unturned, and we have managed to discover several locations where the girl may be, however, we cannot attack them all, we have to make sure that the one we attack is the correct one. That's why I'm asking all the heroes here to help me investigate all these locations, let's find their location and finish them off."-
- "Me and my agency will help in any way we can!"- Ryukyu said.
- "And mine too!"- Fat Gum said.
Thus, everyone began to support Nighteye's plan.
- "Thank you very much. Now I'm going to tell you the details."- Sir Nighteye said. As the meeting goes on, everyone fails to notice a small creature which has been watching the entire meeting and unnoticed, the creature leaves.
…
…
…
Unknown place.
The creature emerges from a data portal, revealing itself to be a Digimon, and approaches Shigaraki. – "DemiDevimon, you're back..."-
- "That's right, Lord Shigaraki. I have news that may interest you."- DemiDevimon said.
- "Spit it out."-
- "Several heroes gathered and are planning to attack the eight precepts of death to rescue the girl that Chisaki has."-
- "Interesting..."-
- "Not only that, three of the chosen ones, the one of fire, the one of wind and the one of lightning, will also be part of it."-
- "Good job DemiDevimon, you can go."- After this, the Digimon leaves. – "Did you hear that, Stain, Toga?"-
- "Yes."- The mentioned said.
- "Perfect, remember your mission, you must make sure that the heroes achieve their goal. I don't care what you do, you can help them directly if you want. As long as Chisaki is defeated."- Shigaraki said.
- "And what about the girl?"- Toga asked.
- "Let them rescue her, I'm don't care."-
- "Did we kill Chisaki?"- Stain asked.
- "No, this is important, Chisaki has to be captured alive. His quirk is too powerful to let go, but the fool only uses it for his own nonsense instead of using it for more. It will be more useful under our hands."- Shigaraki said.
…
…
…
Two days later.
1-A Dorms. Very late at night.
Izuku, Melissa, and Kaminari meet in the main room of the dorms. Everyone was asleep except for them. – "Are you ready?"- Izuku asked, Melissa and Kaminari nod. – "All right, the operation starts now."-
After this, they change into their hero outfits, meet up with the Big Three and Aizawa, and then head to the meeting place.
The operation to rescue Eri has begun.
