UA. A school run by professional heroes in the heart of Japan. But over the years UA has expanded their reach to other countries to offer their services. The most well-known of these: UA: Los Angeles Department, alternatively known as UA LA. A stronghold in the heart of Los Angeles training some of the strongest heroes in the country and even the world. However there's currently a situation in Los Angeles airport. A large bear-like man walking on his hind legs with a two-piece suit and tie is walking hurriedly down the hall towards the main conference room of UA LA. "How could this have happened?" He says opening a large door to a room, seeing many many heroes sitting inside.
One is a rather short woman, wearing tight red spandex with a few metallic sticks in a belt around her neck and black gloves with strange symbols on the palms. "Principal Grizzly? What exactly is going on? For you to call a meeting so suddenly," She asks and the man, Grizzly gets inside to his seat.
Another hero pipes up, tapping his fist against the desk. A taller hero with a rather sizable and sharp-looking mouth and bright blonde hair. "If this is about cheaters in the entrance exam then we toss them. Same as always," He says and Grizzly shakes his head.
"This is nothing about a student. That is well-accounted for. No this is much more serious. Someone dangerous is coming to Los Angeles," He says leaned forward with a bit of a red glare in his eyes.
"Dangerous? How can you be sure?!" The woman in red spandex asks as they all speak up a little, light muttering echoing through the room.
"Just an hour ago I received this e-mail. From none other than Lucifer Brimstone," He says and everyone goes silent hearing that name.
The hero who mentioned the cheaters looks it over reading it out loud. "Good day UA LA. I, Lucifer Brimstone, am on my way to Los Angeles. I've taken a bit of a long way around. But I will arrive at the international Airport at Gate 9 in about 6 hours. It's been a long trip and I just have one request. I would like to speak to Principal Grizzly of UA LA upon my arrival," He finishes gritting his teeth slamming his fist on his desk. "What the hell is this nonsense!? He thinks we'll just LET Principal Grizzly go to talk to him!?" He says and the lady in red taps her somewhat puffy lips.
"If he wanted he could have remained silent? Why would he openly announce his arrival? He must have something planned!"
"Indeed, Magnum Opus. We cannot afford to take it this easy," Grizzly says and grabs a remote. "We know very little about the youngest son of the Brimstone family, Lucifer. We know is that he is just 15 years old and the son of Beelze Brimstone and Kijo Orochi,"
"Orochi!? As in the Orochi Yakuza family!?" Another hero chimes in, growling as he scartches his hairy arm nervously.
"That is correct Overbeast. According to principal Iida of UA Japan, the Brimstone family absorbed the Orochi Yakuza to expand their influence in Japan,"
The hero who read the e-mail once more slams his fist. "The kid is 15! How is this an issue!? We go to the airport! Get in some airborne heroes and secure the plane! Easy!" He says and Magnum Opus shakes her head along with Grizzly.
"I'm afraid we cannot do that," He taps the remote and a picture comes up on a large screen. A giant burning city, several heroes lying lifeless around a single individual. A young boy with red stone-like armor burning with a black fire and two giant horns on his head looking back to the side.
"That's Lucifer!?" The man says noticing how far the fires are spreading in the picture. Utter chaos.
"No. This is Mephis. His oldest brother's 'debut' when he was just 13 years old," Grizzly explains and they all gulp. "And before you even ask Loudmouth, it is confirmed that Lucifer has gotten the family's signature quirk as well. A quirk that allows them to tap into the power of a demon that takes hold inside of them. Each one is slightly different in appearance and powers, but they each share some features. So we will assemble a team to counter each aspect," He says and everyone nods. Seeing Mephis at 13 years old they can only imagine what a villain with this kind of quirk can achieve after two years of training!
Loudmouth slams his fist on the desk again. 'He really likes doing that huh?' the others think. "Well what the hell are we waiting for!? Let me guess! FIRE is a common aspect!"
Grizzly nods as he sits himself down again. "No. But Lucifer is confirmed to have a fire-based demon. Additionally their physical manifestations seem to include some form of armor. It appears to be quite tough. And finally, a rather sizeable increase in strength. To counter the super-human strength I will go. It is me he wants to talk to, whatever he wants, anyway. To counter the armor, Loudmouth will come. Your Wave-cannon should punch straight through it," Loudmouth nods along as everyone seems to agree.
Another hero speaks up. He has a big spiky cap and tubes connecting a tank on his back to gauntlets on his arms. "I can take care of the fire for you. I know I'm new here, but I got it,"
"Water Force. I was indeed going to suggest you for that."
Magnum Opus once more holds out her hands. "But why did he announce his arrival? We could easily get every hero who can make it there in five hours to arrive. It is the Brimstone family. He might not be at the Brimstone mansion anymore but he is known and wanted across the entire country. It is odd,"
Loudmouth raises his fist and Water Force holds up a hand. "We got it. You wanna slam the desk,"
"HELL YEAH!" SLAM! "But we're not gonna let him do what he wants!"
Grizzly holds out his hand. "We will take utmost care. I too am interested to see what they could want from me. We will be ready to fight. This boy is dangerous. Who knows how many hostages he's already taken on the flight... be prepared. I will be calling some additional support to assist with hostage rescue," Grizzly says and everyone nods, beginning their preparations!

On the plane, specified by Lucifer sits a whole bunch of civilians, none of them seeming particularly frightened. Near the back of the plane in the Economy class sits a little kid, drawing in his coloring book, one of the drawings being of a popular hero. He seems to be thinking for a bit, unsure of what to pick for the color of the cape though. He looks to his mom sitting beside him. "Mommy what color is Astro Glider's cape?" He asks in Japanese with a bit of a pout on his cute face and his mother seems to be completely blank.
However on the other side sits a young boy. Black hair with red accents around the edges no matter the angle you look at it from, a purple headband with a little bump in it that seem to be a horn. He is wearing a hoodie with a rather rough design, ripped jeans and big black ankle-boots with several straps on each. His hood over his head. He leans over, whispering in Japanese as well. "Astro Glider's cape is blue on the inside and white on the outside," The boy looks up at him with surprise.
"Really?!" He says his mother having whispered to her son that he shouldn't talk to this person as he looks a little suspecious.
"Yep. Trust me," He says with a smile, his piercing orange eyes looking down at the drawingbook. "Let's CRUSH this kid," A random voice echoes inside the boy's head.
"What's your name mister!? I'm Kenta. We're on our way to Los Angeles for our vacation!" He says excitedly and the boy chuckles.
"Japanese? Nice. I'm Lucifer. I'm from America," He whispers and the boy nods.
"Whaaa! America! That's so cool! Why are you going to Los Angeles?" He asks with an excited little look, turning over the page of his drawing book.
"Business, I suppose," He adds and looks out the window, crossing his legs looking mighty and confident. "Depends on them really," He says and the boy happily gets back to coloring.
-HERO-
Five hours later, at Los Angeles International Airport, Grizzly and the other heroes have all gathered in full hero attire, Grizzly's hero costume seemingly being his suit. Of course, with so many heroes gathered and clearing the general vicinity of the airport, it means people have gathered around the perimeter, unsure of what exactly is going on to warrent a team of three very powerful heroes one of them being the principal of UA LA himself! With many other heroes walking around securing the area. At a random gate no less!
"I wonder who it could be!?" "Maybe it's a celebrity and they're trying to keep fans away?" "Yeah!" "But then why aren't the media here at least?" Chatter goes through the crowd, as the plane pulls up to the gate. The heroes are prepared for the worst! People rushing out of the plane in a panic? No one exitting the plane? Every scenario! But to their surprise people exit in orderly fashion. As orderly as people can exit a plane. A few heroes do rush in to help guide the crowd away as fast as possible.
People are quite confused, but follow the heroes' orders nonetheless. Soon enough Lucifer exits the plane along with the family he was sitting with. The three heroes set out to counter his abilities prepare for a fight as Lucifer gives the little boy Kenta a fist-bump for a goodbye. Lucifer looks over at the heroes, dropping his hood back revealing his face, before putting his hands in his pockets rather calmly.
A few people in the crowd gasp and point from the safe distance. "OH MY GOD! Isn't that-!?" "YEAH! That's one of the Brimstones!" "RUUUUN!" Quickly panic ensues as every civilian in the area, sprints away, the passengers from the plane beginning to rush out of the plane.
The group and Lucifer stand in silence for a while, the heroes ready to engage at any time, but Lucifer doesn't move at all. Until the last passenger on the plane has exited that is, where he promptly gets on his knees and folds his hands behind his head. "There were a lot fewer of you than I thought," He says the heroes wondering what he's doing.
Loudmouth looks around for a bit before slamming his fist into the floor. 'He looked for a table?' the other heroes think. "What the hell are you doing here!? Wanna fight!? We'll kick your ass!" He yells taking a step forward raising his fist. Lucifer grinds his teeth annoyed.
Grizzly holds up his arm to stop him. "Loudmouth. Please. He looks to be surrendering," He says stilling keeping his distance.
Lucifer just looks up with his piercing orange eyes. "Like I said in my e-mail, I want to talk to you, Principal Grizzly. Just talk. Just with you,"
The heroes look to each other. "It could very easily be a trap," Water Force says, not taking his eye off of Lucifer who's calmly sitting there.
"Hmmm..." Grizzly hums turning to Lucifer, wondering what this villain could be up to. "I will speak to you. If you agree to be handcuffed," He says and Lucifer just nods.
"Cuffs are fine. The big kind?" He asks, quickly finding himself with a giant pair of gear-based handcuffs. "Super cuffs. The more you move in them the tighter they get. Sure. Why not?" He says with a bit of an excited look honestly.
Loudmouth picks him up off his knees and pushes him forward. "If I even THINK you're trying to use your quirk I'll smash you to bits. Keep that in mind,"
Lucifer nods. "Of course. I understand..." He says, still smiling as Grizzly takes him over heading outside where a large limousine is parked. It's heavily armored and there are several other cars around, used by the police. Lucifer is lead into the heavily armored limo with Grizzly entering it as well, the other heroes standing by around the limo, ready if they sense anything.
"What do you think he wants?" Water Force asks and Loudmouth grits his teeth.
"To raize UA LA to the ground, I bet," He says slamming a nearby pillar. 'He did in the reverse order this time...' Water Force thinks with a bit of a glance to Loudmouth.
Inside of the limo, Grizzly looks quite weary of this powerful child sitting across from him. "Just so you are aware... we know of your quirk. It is the same as your father's and I may not look it, but I am a hero well capable of combating you. I wouldn't try anything. Tell me... what does the Brimstone family want with me? Or UA LA?"
Lucifer leans himself back. "What does the Brimstone family want? Chaos mostly. But this isn't about my family. This is a more personal visit," He says and Grizzly shifts in his seat.
"Personal? You have an ambition with this visit?" He asks, flexing his muscles a bit as Lucifer leans forward, resting his forearms on his knees.
"Definitely. I'm glad you would let me speak with you. I don't know who else to really go to,"
"And what exactly is it you want?"
"It's what everyone would want when we talk about UA," He says suddenly shifting from looking incredibly intimidating to suddenly smiling at the large bear with a bright happy smile. "I want to be a HERO!"
