The only thing better than owning and driving a motorcycle was to have a bunch of girls that wanted rides on the said motorcycle, the way they wrapped their arms around him and pressed in tight was exhilarating. Izuku was finding out that girls really did like a man on a motorcycle.
He was currently enjoying this experience with Itsuka, ever since that night in the dinner, she and her friend circle had been regular fixtures on his phone and group chats. In their definite not date, but kind of a date, which had Itsuka on the back of his bike as they went for a ride along the coast. They had parked at a beach, changed into definitely not new swimming apparel, and nice picnic lunch that Itsuka had prepared for them. It was a rather enjoyable not-date. As Izuku dropped her off at her house and walked her to the door, he was surprised when she kissed his cheek before darting into the house. Izuku flushed and walked back toward his bike with a smile on his face.
This was complicated though, what about Momo? They were still talking and flirting ; it wouldn't be fair to lead either girl on. As Izuku made his way towards his bike, he would have to sit down and talk with someone, maybe Midnight or his Mom. But how do you start that conversation?
"Hey I have feelings for my best friend, and I like this new girl I meet, oh let not talk about the girls in the ARC. " he said to himself, with a heavy sigh and tingle on his cheek from Ituska's kiss he straddled his bike. With a single kick, the bike roared to life, and he sped off into the night.
His mind was slightly distracted as he was going down the road, he started to notice that there were no other cars, which was highly odd. Yes, the sun had said goodnight, but it wasn't that late he knew that much. As he came around the turn, he saw the road blocked off by 3 black SUVs, men were standing on the other side of the cars, and they had guns. He also noticed a rather large form standing in front of the cars who roared as the light hit him, it was Asterius.
The first bullet hit his shoulder, he barely managed to maintain control of the bike. He had nowhere to go, he didn't know if he could lay the bike down, he was as good as dead anyways. He had one chance, summoning all his will, Rabbit Step! He felt the lurch as he and the bike lurched forward and by a few inches managed to materialize on the other side of the blockade. His vision narrowed as he felt blood gush from his nose, trying to maintain consciousness he weaved to avoid the bust of gunfire from behind, gunning the engine he raced off.
As he passed another intersection, he saw singular headlights roar to life as he barely managed to swerve around another motorcycle, he saw them swing a blade wildly at him as he passed. He was now in a highspeed chase, he had grown confident in his riding abilities to not die while riding but not to try and engage in combat while doing so. Especially fighting off the massive headache from using Rabbit Step on himself and the bike, he was still having a problem focusing.
What do I do? What do I do?
Quickly he tapped the button on the side of his visor, as the virtual assistant on his phone sprung to life, he yelled at it "CALL MOM!"
"Are you sure?"
"YES GODDAMIT!"
"Is that Mom Mobile, Work or Home?"
"MOBILE CALL MOM MOBILE!"
It felt like an eternity for the call to connect but another rider had pulled alongside him and swung a chain. Izuku managed to swerve to the side out of reach but almost went into the dirt, he maintained control as the rider and his friends gained ground. A baseball bat was his next obstacle as Izuku swerved he was hit in the back by the chain wielder.
"Hey Izuku, are you on your way home?"
"MOM, I AM BEING CHASED!"
"WHAT? WHERE ARE YOU?"
"I AM PASSING N. 145, FIREBOLT!" he blasted the rider with the bat as he came up to attack again. "IT IS OVERHAUL'S MEN, I SAW ASTERIUS. I NEED HELP, I PUSHED THE RABBIT STEP TOO HARD, AND IT IS HARD TO STAY CONSCIOUS."
"NEMURI IZUKU IS UNDER ATTACK WE NEED TO HELP HIM," he heard his mom shouting. "IZUKU WHAT ROAD ARE YOU ON?"
Izuku swerved from the chain, but he got caught by the blade wielder adding to the pain in his already shot shoulder.
"ROUTE 54 EASTBOUND, I HAVE BEEN SHOT IN THE SHOULDER AND JUST GOT CUT. EAT THIS YOU MOTHER FUCKER, FIREBOLT!" Izuku aimed at the bike this time the explosion launched the rider into the air and knocked the other one back, a glance in the mirror saw the headlights of the SUV rounding a bend farther back. "OHSHIT, I THINK THAT GUY IS DEAD."
"IZUKU OH GOD, JUST KEEP RUNNING BABY HELP IS ON THE WAY!" his mother yelled.
"I MIDNIGHT TO DO HERBY AUTHORIZE YOU TO USE YOUR QUIRK IN SELF DEFENSE, NOW KEEP GOING I AM GETTING IN CONTACT WITH THE POLICE, HEAD TO CITY."
Izuku's mind was aflame, he may have just killed someone, he was shot, cut, and bleeding something bad. His adrenaline was pumping, luckily it was keeping him conscious. The sound of gunfire behind him caused him to hang a hard right, the bike almost slipping out from under him. "THEY ARE FIRING AGAIN; I JUST WENT LEFT ON 150 NORTH. I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE I AM."
"IT IS OK BABY, KEEP GOING AND TURN RIGHT ON 24 EAST. GOD IZUKU DON'T STOP. NEMURI SAYS THE ALERT HAS BEEN SENT ON THE HERO NETWORK, EARSER HEAD IN THE CITY, YOU HAVE TO GET TO THE CITY BABY DON'T STOP!"
Izuku was going as fast as he could, trying to will the bike to go faster, to ignore the pain in his shoulder that was threatening to cripple him. He saw the light of the city not far, he felt hope. Then it turned to ash in his mouth, there in the center of the road was Overhaul. Izuku saw it all in slow motion, the hand hitting the ground, the spikes bursting out. He swerved and angled toward the field, but it wasn't fast enough as a spike erupted spearing the bike, he kicked off into the air, and he managed to orient himself in the air, RABBIT STEP! He launched and emerged parallel to the ground, gravity grabbed ahold of him, and he crashed to the earth tumbling as his velocity had not been availed. When he should he felt it explode, his body erupted in pain. Eventually, he tumbled to stop, he tried to stand blood coming from places that it should not be coming from. He couldn't even draw his knife; he didn't even have his knife. He saw death approaching him, and there was nothing he could do about it, he raised his hand ready to try and fire off a Firebolt. He saw the SUVs turn off into the field towards him. He looked like he was in a field, he fired off a weak Firebolt he saw the fire erupt and catch the grass, he turned and started to stumble away the best he could, when he stepped his leg just crumpled underneath him. Reaching out with his only arm that was somewhat working he clawed at the earth attempting to drag himself away.
"Where are you going you diseased piece of filth?" a sinister voice rang out.
He kept trying to crawl.
"If you tell me where Eri and Haruhime are I will end you painlessly." Overhaul hissed.
"Eat shit!" Izuku spat, as blood gushed from his mouth.
"Asterius take him," Overhaul commanded.
The minotaur stalked forward ready to crush Izuku. Izuku closed his eyes and braced for death.
"STARLIGHT BARRAGE!" A woman's voice rang out in the distance, suddenly there were screams for Overhaul and his men and silvery arrows rained down. "MOON FALL!" An incredibly large crescent blade of white/silver energy blazed forth over Izuku's head as it impacted Overhaul and his men sending them flying in the other direction. Izuku heard footsteps as something wrapped around him lifting him and racing off into the night, he couldn't make out his savior. He was sent down by a tree, he managed to lift his head and saw a woman with a bow in her hand kneel near him. "You won't be escaping so easily Orion, also you seemed to have lost this." he felt his dagger fall into his lap. He tried to get a better look at the woman, but his vision was failing him. Izuku saw her fire a flare off into the sky as everything caught up with him and he slipped into darkness.
-Inko Midoriya-
Inko sat in the passenger seat as Nemuri raced through the streets in her high-end sports car, cars were a blur, everything was a blur to her, to be honest. She knew Nemuri was talking but she sounded far away and like Inko was underwater. Her baby was clinging to life, he had been found under a tree by a new hero, Mt. Lady. Unfortunately, Overhaul and Asterius had escaped capture, but the rest of his men had been caught by the arrival of Kami Woods.
Recovery Girl was en route to the hospital as well, all she knew though was the matter seemed grim. She was on the verge of losing her Izuku. She did her best to remain present as her mind spiraled. Quietly she closed her eyes and offered a prayer to her ancestors, to Grandma Hess. It was prayer for healing, and for vengeance.
-Shota Aizawa-
"Good thing you were able to track them down Eraser Head" Endeavor growled. "I wasn't very happy about letting them slip through my fingers like that."
"It is appreciated Endeavor, but now that we know where they are nesting, they won't be free for long. We have back up on its way, as soon as he arrives we are clear to engage.
-Overhaul-
That damn rabbit had made a fool of him again by managing to avoid capture, though he still had hope that the boy would succumb to his wounds, but they were in trouble he had lost some good men on that attempt. Fortunately, he still had his best men with him, they were going to raid that hospital and make sure that little shit was dead. Then the rough of the house caved in. "SURRENDER VILLAINS FOR I AM HERE!"
Overhaul spun to see the number one hero of Japan standing before him, the gates of the compound exploded as Endeavor and his sidekicks burst onto the property. Overhaul exploded the ground as he dashed to an escape tunnel. It was now a question of survival.
It was pure chaos for the Shie Hassaikai at that point, namless foot soldiers launched themselves at the heroes but as to be expected All-Might was having non of this. It wasn't until the Eight Bullets stepped in, Rappa and Hekiji were able to stall the #1 hero long enough for Overhaul to make his escape. Hekiji with his quirk Barrier and Rappa's Strongarm the duo was quite formidable.
Right as Endeavor had breached the front door a scream was heard as 100's of the same looking man came pouring in from every direction, his crys of "Save Me/LET ME KILL YOU" were enough to give even the most hardened hero pause, but Endeavor was no ordinary hero, and he was not about to allow All-Might to take all the glory for this encounter.
While the battle raged above him, Overhaul followed by Asterius made their way through the tunnels, a quick escape was soon neutralized when he came face to face with the Underground Hero Eraser Head.
"Leaving so soon Kai, after we went through all this trouble for you?"
"You really shouldn't have, but since you did we might as well send you off in a body bag,"
-Morning Hospital-
Consciousness slowly came back to Izuku, his eyes fluttered open to find himself in a hospital bed staring up at the world's most boring ceiling tiles. Why can't hospitals ever have murals or painted tiles on the ceiling always drab and white? He mused. As his eyes adjusted, he saw his mom asleep with her head on the bottom of the bed, and Midnight and Eraser Head in the corner talking quietly. He didn't even have to say anything as they took notice that he was awake. Midnight went over to gently wake up his mother as Eraser Head came over, "We will talk after you get smothered by Inko. Glad to see you are up, I will let the ARC know what is going on."
True to the pro hero's prediction his mother immediately went to hug him, but it was surprisingly gentle. When he went to move, he understood why, his entire body was in pain he noticed that one leg was in a cast as well as an arm. His shoulder was in a sling and his chest and midsection were heavily bandaged.
His groan of pain brought his mother back to her senses. "Don't try to move baby, I will let the Doctor know you are awake so we can get you some pain medicine. Recovery Girl will be back later so she can heal you some with her quirk, she could only assist with the surgery as you were too weak for her treatment."
"What's the damage?"
"Honestly it is bad baby, you were shot the bullet broke your collar bone, the slash damaged some tendons, you broke your tibia and fibula in your right leg, fractured the femur in the left, broke 3 ribs, your elbow, multiple concussions, and bruising. If not for Recovery Girl you would be facing the possibility of permanent damage baby, but between her and the doctors here you should make a full recovery."
"They are raiding Overhauls base of operations as we speak, hopefully we should be able to put an end to this tonight," Midnight said her hand on Inko's shoulder giving it a friendly squeeze.
-In a seedy Bar-
Overhaul stood outside the seedy bar his hand hesitant to open the door. The last thing he wanted to do was get indebted to the Monster in the Dark, but he was out of options. Eri and Haruhime had escaped, his home had been raided, the old man was taken his organization was scattered or in custody, that damn rabbit was still alive, and they had just survived a raid led by Endeavor, fucking All-Might and that god damn prick Eraser Head. If it wasn't for Overhauls quirk they would be to beaten and broken to move. Thankfully Chrono, Asterius, Deidoro, and Hekiji had managed to escape, but they were on the run and in need of allies, even ones such as these. Kai rolled his shoulders "Deidoro, you and Hekiji wait out here in case shit goes sideways. Asterius, Chrono you come with me and stay alert." Kai rolled his shoulders it was time to play the game and put up an act, he had never liked this part of life but it what was needed if what was left of his family were going to survive.
The trio entered the bar it was run down, the tables looked like they were about to fall apart, what caught Overhaul's attention was the man behind the bar. He was of decent height but that did not catch Overhaul's attention, the bartender's body appeared to be completely made of a dark purple mist, with two glowing yellow eyes peering out from the darkness. He had a strange metal brace around where his neck would be and at the very least, he was dressed, with a crisp white shirt, silver, and black striped tie matching vest, and black slacks. As Overhaul approached, he noticed that the bar and area behind were pristine and clean. Overhaul approved.
"Welcome to The Bar with No Name, what can I get for you, sir?"
"3 Bourbons, neat and make it a triple for the big guy here," Overhaul said. "You got a name slick; I assume you know who I am."
"I am known as Kurogiri, and of course I do Overhaul." With practice and crisp measure, the bartender poured their drinks cleanly and with precision. He slid the drinks over "On the house sir, the young master will be here shortly please enjoyed."
Overhaul took a sniff before taking a sip, Chrono just tossed the drink back as did Asterius. A door from the hall opened and in walked what Overhaul could only assume was this young master. Overhaul was offended from the get-go, this light blue-haired, red-eyed man walked with an unsteady gate of a man that had just woken up, his clothes were disheveled, and he had a definite smell accompanying him. Then there were the hands, one covering his face and the others on his shoulders and arms.
"Sir you guests have arrived," Kurogiri stated as he set up an energy drink on the counter.
"So, this is a legendary mob the Yakuza, funny I expected better." He commented as he popped the can open and took a long drink.
Overhaul's fist clinched he thought of just destroying this guy on the spot, but that would hurt his chances of getting what he needed.
"Well, the feeling is mutual I was expecting better than some fucking hikikomori but yet here we are." Overhaul responded.
The man shot Overhaul a glare as he downed his energy drink before setting back on the counter. "Watch your tone?"
"Or?"
"Or I will do the police a favor and just eliminate you here and now."
"Funny I was thinking the same thing."
"NOW TOMURA BE RESPECTFUL OF OUR GUESTS, AND OVERHAUL IF YOU WANT TO LIVE TO WALK OUT OF THE BAR, I SUGGEST YOU DO THE SAME." The voice came out of a speaker that the bartender had set on the counter.
"Sensei, I don't need anything from this relic," Tomura said.
Overhaul was about to respond to Tomura but decided that the voice from the speaker was the one really in charge. "I take it you are the one truly in charge then?" he said to the speaker.
"I AM, WHAT IS IT THAT I CAN HELP YOU WITH?"
Tomura clicked his tongue as he opened another energy drink that Kurogiri set out for him.
"I have come seeking information, I lost something recently two somethings. A little girl and her attendant go by the name Eri and Haruhime. I want them back!"
"WELL, I WILL SEE IF I CAN HELP YOU WITH THEIR LOCATION." THE VOICE RESPONDED.
"What is this going to cost me?"
"I AM SURE WE CAN WORK SOMETHING OUT OVERHAUL."
