Nemui used his quirk to land safely outside the destroyed American Army camp, landing right next to Karasu, Masa, and Kou, who were all arguing. Kou spoke out
"Listen Karasu, we've gotta do this! If not, we may be labeled terrorists by the American and Japanese government, there's no telling what might happen."
Karasu rolled his eyes looking at Nemui
"Nem, tell this guy he's fucking crazy. He wants to abandon the kids and look for something incriminating to present the Japanese government."
Nemui looked at his friends, and then Izuku's son, Kou let out a long sigh
"I don't want to ABANDON THEM. I think they'll be fine, I just think that our priority is to ensure our safety-"
"There you go again with the "Our" There is no "we" in this situation, there is concerned parents and you-"
Kou blurted out of frustration
"Kararsu! Michi Shinomori has my father's quirk, a quirk that my mother entrusted me to deliever safely to the next user. There is nothing more that I want to do than help that boy out of here and think of a plan B! But clearly, if we do not help ourselves right now, we will only end up being detrimental to Shinomori's job."
Nemui looked around, he saw the two brothers gather the surviving soldiers from the attack, Nemui let out a sigh
"What kind of evidence would we need?"
Kou smiled
"A video or file evidence of them doing quirk experimentation, even though it has been outlawed by the surviving world governments. Afterwards, we can find the kids, and get the fuck out."
Karasu looked at his friend, Masa looked a bit concerned as well
"You're really going through with this?!"
Masa chimed in,
"We could use it as leverage.. or black mail.. I had to do that on my mission in Russia ten years back. It worked then, and I'm sure it could work now."
Karasu let out a sigh, activating his berserk form, he readied himself
"We gotta be fast then, I aint sticking around longer than needed."
The four heroes ventured down into the exposed depths of the destroyed building, only to be presented their worst fear. As they walked through the base, they found themselves in an underground lab, countless crates were filled with some sort of medical devices, as well some were filled with... "Product."
Masa dragged his hands through countless Inhibitor boosters, there were thousands in each crate. Masa picked one up
"What the hell is all of this?"
Kou took photos of the evidence, and the contents of the crates.
"I heard... back in 1996 the American Government released drugs to keep their population down.. for crimes as well.. It seems history repeats itself..."
Kou used his quirk to smash the crates, his quirk, Telekinetic Anti-Gravity was powerful for this purpose...
"But it's world wide."
Everyone looked up at a screen, which was full of trade and schedules.. It seems like the American government was providing inhibitors for almost half of their ally's strongest criminals.
A doctor limped into the cargo hold, frustrated, he lifted his goggles with his artificial arm
"What the hell was that you damn lunks?! Did you destroy more pro-"
Kou used his quirk to pull the doctor into the light of the room.. a much older, but still infuriating Hokori Sonzaishinai was floating in the air, sweat twinkling down his head, he looked towards Karasu
"Oh hey, long time no see jack ass."
Hokori pointed at his robotic arm
"I got an upgrade. We match now."
Karasu punched Hokori in the stomach
"Talk now scum!"
Hokori coughed and dry heaved as he looked up
"What do you want?! You're not in jurisdiction now ass holes!"
Nemui spoke out
"What is this, is this some kind of drug empire?!"
Hokori laughed as he tried to breathe
"Nah... Nah.. this.. this is art. MY art. Ever since I was put under witness protection, I have been employed by the American government to do what I love most."
Masa sighed
"If you're so open to telling us all of this, why havent you reached out to the Japanese Government?!"
Hokori laughed
"The only reason I'm sharing all of this with you, is because you will not be able to get out of this country alive."
Kou scowled,
"Why's that?"
"Because the twins haven't lost a single fight since I created them. Not once."
The heroes looked at each other, as Kou lifted Hokori over his shoulder, he looked at the other heroes
"We found our evidence, lets get the hell out of here, and find the kids."
Masa looked down at his communicator, turning it on for a split second, he looked at the kid's last known locations
"They're all back together. But it seems like they've gone off the grid."
Karasu Nodded
"That's for the best, lets go get those kids back and get out of this "Land of the Free"
Nemui nodded slightly, as he looked at a crate of inhibitors
A Day Later, back to Michi and the group
Michi, Fugu, and Shizu were all dressed in different clothes, Mari was still in the clothes she was left with, but had Michi's jacket on to keep her body warm. The four heroes in training were walking through the city of New York, thankfully, the busy city made it that no one noticed their rough appearances, Michi exhaled sharply as his broken right arm continued to bother him, but he continued to carry Mari
"Shizu. Fugu. Are we almost there?!"
Shizu looked around mind boggled, as he tried to make sense of street names,
"Ummm, well, it's easily in this-"
Fugu grabbed her brother's arm, guiding him and Michi
"She's this way, we're almost there guys! Keep up with me!"
Michi continued to carry Mari's body, still unresponsive, he tried his best not to panic. Michi looked up and it appeared that Shizu and Fugu disappeared Michi looked around frantically
"Shizu... Fugu!?"
Michi collapsed onto one of his knees. He tried to lift himself back up, but he was on the verge of collapsing. Suddenly Shizu appeared next to Michi, his arms around Michi, lifting him back up
"they're right here!"
Fugu, and a girl Michi has never met before came, and lifted Mari off of his shoulders, helping the two into a house.. Shizu guided Michi into the living room, throwing him onto the couch, Michi landed on his right arm
"OH MY FUCKING GOD-"
Michi winced in pain, holding his arm in pain Shizu began to panic
"Shit I'm so sorry Michi! I didn't think about that! Let me see it!"
Shizu took Michi's arm, examining the broken arm, as Shizu looked, Michi looked at his left, the crack that formed two days ago has grown thicker, and longer... as he felt its edges, it almost felt cold, like an abyss.. he panicked for a second, looking away.
"let me take a look Shizu!"
Shizu was replaced by an orange haired, girl, around their age.. Her eyes were purple like lavender, and her face was determined like a hero. She took out a syringe pressing it into Michi's arm
"Prepare yourself! This doesnt feel nice!"
Michi looked confused at her
"What do you mean-"
Michi fell off of the couch in pain, holding his right arm, it began to glow from One for All's response. He began shaking as he watched his arm heal slowly
"What was that?!"
The girl closed the cap on the syringe, and tossed it in the trash
"An American drug, helps the healing process speed up no matter the injury. What's your name?"
Michi looked at the girl confused,
"Michi."
"Just Michi?"
"I'm sticking to first names."
The girl scoffed
"Toma Yoko."
Michi nodded, he kind of remembered Fugu and Shizu mentioning her, a foreign friend who recently moved back to America for a semester... He looked at her
"Michi Shinomori... That over there is Mari Nagamine."
Toma looked at Mari,
"She usually like that?"
Michi looked at her concerned
"It's her quirk. It's like an out of body experience, and she's gotta find her body. It may..."
Michi looked worried, on the verge of panic
"It may take her weeks... years... if we keep moving her around like this."
Toma looked at Mari's lifeless body
"I'm not sure what to do about that.. But I can bathe her, clean her wounds and get her ready to move."
Michi looked confused
"What exactly are you? Like.. you're not a doctor?"
Toma chuckled
"Nope, I'm studying to be a doctor... My quirk is Caloric Regeneration.. The more I eat, the more I can regenerate someone, or myself.. I'm working towards being a field medic for Heroes, and victims."
Michi chuckled as he sat himself back up on the couch, grunting from pain, he laid down
"How Noble."
Toma took a blanket, and put it on top of Michi
"Sleep for now, you look terrible"
Michi chuckled
"Oh. That's only the half of it..."
Michi turned over, shivering as he slowly drifted to sleep...
Shizu, Fugu, Toma
Toma and Fugu lifted Mari to the master bathroom, and undressed her, washing her body and her clothes, they also cleaned her wounds and healed her up..
Toma and Fugu began to dress her, as Toma looked up at Fugu
"What happened exactly, Fugu?"
Fugu looked down at her friend, she had tied her hair into a bun, and was holding her in her lap as Toma dressed the girl
"It's... hard to explain.. and there's things I can't share."
Fugu looked up with a determined look
"But you can't stay in America. Please, come back to Japan with us."
Toma looked confused
"I can't really do that. I don't have my Visa, and I'm pretty sure I lost my pass port-"
"Don't worry about all that we'll figure it out another time! Right now is your safety! Shizu would agree with me if he was... allowed in here."
Toma finished dressing Mari
"Come on, we can lay her down in my bed."
Fugu stood up distressed
"Toma, this isn't something you can brush off! This is an actual problem!"
Toma was trying to lift Mari, after an exchange of look, Fugu began helping moving Mari to Toma's bed
"I'm not ignoring you, I'm just trying to process what you're telling me, which is close to nothing Fugu!"
Shizu was in the bedroom making the bed, helping Fugu and Toma guide Mari into the bed
"If I can butt in- Toma, we care for you, and right now, us being around you... I hate to tell you but this puts you in the same danger that we're in.. I'm sorry but the safest place for you right now, would be with us."
Toma looked at her two childhood friends, she was sweating as she has been working hard healing everyone.
"Yeah? And that other boy? Long hair, thousand yard stare? What was his name... Michi? What is going on with him? Why is he "Sticking to first names?""
Toma looked at both Fugu and Shizu, which looked at each other
"Nu uh! No twin telepathy- or what ever they call it! Give me a straight answer for once you two! What the hell, is going on?!"
Shizu took a deep breath
"That is our friend, Michi Shinomori. He has an important mission, that was entrusted in him by Japan's late Number One Hero."
Toma looked at the two confused
"Endeavor? He died before we were even born!"
Fugu shook her head
"No, that means the news hasn't spread out side of Japan.. But Deku, our number one hero is dead. But Michi holds the key to the future number one hero."
Toma looked confused and concerned... she took a deep breath
"So, why are you all here? None of this explains why you're here."
Shizu blurted out
"We're getting there Toma. We thought we had a lead here, in America, but it appears that we were tricked."
Toma went out to the hall, looking at the couch where Michi was currently asleep
"He's been out cold for two hours"
Shizu sighed
"After we were ambushed, and our plane was attacked, we've been walking for days. We have been town hopping for days. We have no clue where we are, where our parents are or anything."
Toma looked at Shizu with worried eyes, Shizu placed his hands together, with Toma's in his, he closed his eyes, sweating in a plea he spoke
"Please, Toma... I know we haven't been as close as we were as children because of the distance... but I beg of you! please, help us!"
Toma became flustered, pulling away from Shizu
"I- I would have helped you regardless Shizu! You didn't have to put on the whole, desperation act!"
Shizu had a relieved look on his face as he smiled
"Thank you! Thank you! You've already done so much but... There's still so much left to do!"
Michi Shinomori
He slowly rose from the couch, it was dark, he looked at the Kitchen clock...
3:35 a.m.
"shit... I slept through most of the day..."
Michi pulled out a small note book, doing the math, stressing over the time he had left
"If the users are correct, I've got.. a month and two weeks."
Michi took a deep breath as he closed the note book, placing his head on the notebook, he felt his arm, it felt as good as new, Michi looked around the small house, realizing it was student housing
"Shizu? Fugu? Mari?"
Michi began going up the stairs, alarmed from his solitude, he tried to call upon the fourth's quirk. The fourth, Hikage Shinomori appeared
"Ten... have you reconsidered your actions?"
Michi walked up the stairs, looking around
"You guys had like, eight hours to bother me with this question. Now when I'm awake you want to chat?"
The fourth sighed
"Ten, understand that we get your feelings for your friends, I have grown to understand your empathy watching you the past couple of days.. So I understand that it is in your nature to put your friends before yourself."
"But?"
"But.. You must also take care of yourself! Please do not be reckless!"
Michi chuckled as he opened a door
"Oh please, you only care about my self preservation because you all are tied to me right now. Well you're stuck. Strap in for the ride."
"Ten that is not the reason! What will you do after all of this! With a destroyed body because you did not care for yourself during this tiring battle?!"
Michi took a deep breath as he saw Mari's body
"I'll rest."
Michi waved his arm in the air, trying to force the fourth to disappear, as he did, Michi sat next to Mari, she was clean and her wounds were dressed. Michi rubbed his head as he let out a sigh.
"Some trip, huh Mari?"
Michi chuckled. He put his hand on her forehead, feeling it, she seemed to be burning up
"I hope you didn't get sick. I'll take better care of you, I promise.."
Michi let out a sigh
"I remember you telling me about your quirk, how you can kind of hear around your body when you're out of body... I hope you can hear me then, It'll be just like how you used to invade my privacy at night to talk to me."
Michi took a rag with cold water, placing it on Mari's forehead as he talked to her, halfway through, Toma walked in with a smile on her face.
"You know, Whoever this girl is, I'm sure she's glad to have you in her life."
Michi looked down at the bucket, and he twisted the rag, and place it back onto Mari's forehead
"I wont be.. for much longer."
"What was that?"
"Nothing.. Just.. Nervous about everything."
Toma nodded, placing her hand on Michi's
"I was filled in on the things I needed to know, I'm on board, to help every way I can, tomorrow I'll be going to the store, I'll get you all new phones, food, anything else you may need as well."
Michi nodded
"Thank you, your kindness knows no bounds."
Toma stood up
"Dont mention it. I kind of owe... Shizu and Fugu anyway, and it sounds like you matter so much to them so... I'm on board."
"Welcome to the team.. We have a bigger team, but they're back in Japan"
Toma saluted in a joking way
"Thank you sir!"
Michi rolled his eyes
"Thank you private. That will be all, at ease."
The Next day
Michi put on his backpack full of supplies, closing an American flip phone, he placed it in his pocket. Shizu was putting on a new hoodie, as Fugu was putting on a burlap sack on her back. Toma looked at her friends
"I will keep my eye on Mari, and take care of her, right now she is on IV, and doing okay, but real medicine would do the trick keeping her alive, without proper surveillance I have no clue what could be going on with her"
Michi nodded,
"Thank you again Toma, we will be back for you and Mari, soon enough! Just hold on for now!"
Michi, Shizu and Fugu were able to take a cab, thankfully, their "Crimes" were never reported, so they were able to travel in public with no worries.. After a few hours of traveling they were back at the US Military base, It seemed silent. Shizu sighed as he got out with the others
"It's been days since the crash.. We have no clue where they could be.. We might just run into those brothers again!"
Michi thought for a few moments, looking around, he couldn't tell if there was anything going on inside the base, he let out an exhausted sigh, until he heard a familiar voice
"Hey dip shit, you left me in the dust!"
