Yuno saw his brother/rival for the first time in a few months. He had to admit he never expects to see Asta, but upon hearing that horrifying shriek that he knew so well in his life. He and Vermillion were chosen by the captain William Vangance himself to this mission, something very advances for a newbie like them. Nevertheless, if he selects them that means to Yuno that he is well advanced in his training. Something that we were very proud of.
Yuno made a wind bridge so he and his team could seek the Black Bulls and look if they are injured or something else. He saw Asta smiling all goofy, an image that quite frankly he has been missing in his life. He also saw a girl who appears to be the same age as them with Asta, she might be her partner at the Black Bulls
"Looking good Yuno." Said Asta
"You too Asta." Said Yuno with a smile.
"So this is Yuno. This is the guy who ranked first in the entrance exam?'' Thought Noelle looking at Yuno. Unlike Asta this one had a presence and had the potential. He also very different from him
"They don´t look alike. But who am I to judge whatever kind family tree theses weirdos are a part of." Thought Noelle.
"Yuno. We see that they are fine. Now we can go on with the mission? This, not a time to waste with the lowest of the quirk squad." Said Klaus all snob.
"Lowest of the quirk squad? Yuno, who is this four eyes?" Said Asta all irritated with that guy response..
'Four eyes?" Said Klaus taking a step back from that insult.
"That's my senpai, Klaus." Said Yuno all simple.
Klaus Lunette. Quirk: Iron composition- He can fold any physical state of iron to make into weapons, attacks, and defense. If he uses too much he can become very tired and very dizzy for the lack of iron in his system.
"What did you say, you knucklehead? I am a four...I mean, I am Klaus Lunette of the Golden Dawn and a third-year student at UA. You should address me with respect since I´m a veteran.'' Shout out Klaus like a lunatic while grabbing Asta by the collar.
"Hey stop doing that." Said Asta all confused.
"And he lost his way again." Thought Yuno with sweat in his head.
"Hello, Noelle." Said Mimosa greeting Noelle.
"Oh good. She is part of the Golden Dawn too?" Thought Noelle all irritated.
"It's been a while. I haven´t seen you since last year's Christmas party." Said Mimosa with a smile.
"I was there just because it demanded all the Silvas to be present. Or cousin Fugoleon will clash with Nozel again." Thought Noelle thinking of the reason of why she was there. Nozel and Fugelon were always arguing and fighting. That time the Silvas just want a good meal.
"Noelle you know her?" Asked Asta seeing Mimosa for the first time.
"Yeah." Said Noelle with a grunt.
"Me and Noelle-chan are cousins. Also, is a pleasure meeting you my name is Mimosa Vermillion" Said Mimosa presenting herself
'Nice to meet you Mimosa, my name is Asta. Cousins, hum. That's great, hey that means that you also go to UA with Yuno?" Asked Asta.
"Yes bot of us are in Class 1-B." Said Mimosa.
"That so cool. We are in Class 1-A." Said Asta with a smile. Mimosa's face then changed from happy to concern.
"You are from class 1-A. I heard about that terrible invasion. Are you two ok?" Asked her to the two.
"Vermillion the news broadcast said that no student got seriously harm. All Might showed up and save everyone." Said Klaus very strict with no emotion on his explanation.
"Hey don´t say that like it is nothing four eyes." Said Asta all irritated. Once again, Klaus grab Asta by the collar.
"I told you that my name is four…I mean is Klaus." Said Klaus all irritated and being so over the top.
"He keeps getting lower." Thought Yuno
"So you really entered in the Black Bulls Noelle? I heard that they are a group of savage quirk squad people. How are you holding up?" Asked Mimosa without knowing that she was mocking Noelle.
"I am doing great. I am on the top there. But how about you? Being on the Golden Dawn must be hard work and we both know you are not the biggest fast learn." Said Noelle with a smirk, trying to throw a hidden mockery to her cousin but with no success. Because Mimosa just giggle and keep going.
"I know. But everybody there helps me out. Even my classmates at UA give me help with studies and training. Speaking of quirks how is your water manipulation? I heard that you were still having difficulty." Said Mimosa once again messing with Noelle without knowing.
"She is still dense as door." Thought Noelle with an angry thick in her head.
"Anyway. We were sent here by the Quirk Chancellor himself. After our team had gained a golden star. " Said Mimosa.
"Jealous?" Asked Klaus with a smirk.
"Not at all. Because the Quirk Chancellor also sent us here. After we also won a golden star." Said Asta all chipper while Noelle just toss her ponytails to the back of her head.
"You´re lying." Said Klaus poking at Asta's forehead.
"We are not. The Quirk Chancellor really believed in us to be here." Said Asta trying to be serious only to Klaus shove him off.
"Black Bulls juniors. Maybe he had pity on you and decide to see how much you guys can screw up." Said Klaus with a mockery tone.
"Don´t say that." Said Asta all irritated.
"By the way. I got the information we might encounter three Black Bulls. Two juniors and a senior. Where is your senior?" Asked Klaus looking for the senior Black Bull, which was Luck.
Asta and Noelle got all nervous because at the moment Luck had officially ditched them to fight somebody.
"He ditches us." Thought the two Black Bulls
"Well, Luck-senpai…" Said Asta all confused that he had come up with some excuse, but Noelle was faster than him.
'Found some important information and told us to check the perimeter in case of traps." Said her with a strict tone in her voice.
"So he basically ditches you two so he could be alone. That's a classic Black Bulls move, no teamwork at all." Said Klaus with no sympathy in his voice toward the two.
'Don´t say that. Just because you are a member of the Golden Yamh, with your bizarre captain doesn´t mean you can bad mouth us." Said Asta all irritated with Klaus attitude. But this time the young Black Bull really messed up with the senior of the Golden Dawn by pronouncing their squad name wrong.
"What! First of all you knucklehead. It is Golden Dawn; you reached high school and can´t spell correctly. And second ´´bizarre captain´´. Captain Vangance is regarded as one of the nation's greatest heroes alongside All Might and Endavour. Your weird-ass buffed captain is the real abomination." Scream Klaus looking more over the top and stupid than the other times.
"Don´t say that about captain Yami. For all, I know he could turn all your captain trees into toothpicks." Said Asta defending his captain.
"Why you…" Said Klaus bumping heads with Asta. The two were ready to start a fight until Yuno spoken up.
"Veteran Klaus. The mission." Said Yuno wanting to go back to the main point.
"Oh yeah, my apologies. Vermillion could you?'' Asked Klaus to Mimosa
"Yes. Flower map." Said Mimosa clutching to the ground closing her eyes and start searching for plants location.
"What is she doing?" Asked Asta.
'She has the quirk of flowers. She is searching for all the types of Botany that are present in the dungeon. This way we could search the place with no problem." Said Yuno explained
"Wow." Said Asta surprised by that.
"I got it." Said Mimosa standing up.
"Did you memorized?" Asked Klaus.
"Yes is fresh on my mind." Said Mimosa pointing at her head with a smile.
"Great. Yuno you know what to do." Said Klaus
"Right. Wind eagle, transport mode." Said Yuno making a transport to the three. A giant eagle made of wind that carries the three.
"What." Said Noelle with a shock in her face.
"Always with a new trick Yuno." Said Asta with a smile looking at Yuno, who was also smiling.
"Good luck… or not." Said Klaus trying to give the last smirk.
"That's the best that you can come up with four eyes?" Shout out Asta irritated.
"THIS IS NOT MY NAME." Scream Klaus all over the top and kind goofy as the Golden Dawns send off to the dungeon to an area above the ground.
"Man. Not even Ida will be that kind of a jerk with me." Said Asta all irritated.
"Can you hold your grudge and focus on how we gonna get out of here." Said Noelle looking that they were still on the field full of quirk traps.
"Calm down Noelle. So far there is no…" Said Asta but before he could finish his sentence a new trap was activating and reveling huge man made of green stuff
"What a those?" Asked Noelle all disgusted.
"Booger men?" Asked Asta.
"No idiot. They are possibly some kind of slime trap. Ew." Said Noelle being afraid of the green sticky stuff that the trap monsters were shooting.
"Let me handle those. Yaah." Said Asta cutting all the booger monsters.
"Great they are gone." Said Noelle
"Should we go into one of these doors?" Asked Asta looking at the various door that was open in the halls of the trap room.
"No. It is too risky. If I could guess it, Yakuza members tend to send the worst traps in the doors. It is gonna be a real challenge to find the safe one. If we go around in circles we will never reach our end goal'' Said Noelle analyzing the situation.
"But which one? There are thousands of them." Asked Asta all irritated
Nero flies off Asta's head with a tired expression. He flies off the young boy's head and goes to a specific door, that one seen to be an authentic door and without any trap. He even put his wig to point out to the two.
"Alright. Thanks, Nero." Said Asta.
"Coo." Answer Nero.
"You are putting our fates in a bird.'' Said Noelle with a shcok expression.
"Well, he warned Principal Nezu about the attack. So why not?'' Said Asta with sight as Nero goes back to his head. Noelle only looked at the big hall that are possibly full of traps and maybe this bird was special and could sense all the problems around. She gave up on her thoughts and decide to go along.
"If I die I will haunt you forever.'' Said Noelle all serious.
'Alright." Said Asta all nervous and soon the two decide to follow Nero door.
Yuno, Mimosa and Klaus
The trio was flying off thanks to Yuno giant wind eagle that was capable of sustain three humans being. They were flying above the ground so they could touch the ´Dungeon´´ traps, Yakuza men are known to be very protective. While Yuno guided the wind ride, they were relying on Mimosa's memory of the place to know their destination.
"Which way now Vermillion?" Asked Yuno.
"Next right." Said her.
"Those Blacks Bulls are something. And that guy what was his name Asta?" Asked Klaus.
"Yes, Klaus-senpai." Said Mimosa with a nod.
"What is the deal? Saying that he could a job better than us. He has some nerve to say, I couldn't feel any kind presence on him." Asked Klaus sensing no big things from Asta;
"Maybe he has a non-flashy quirk." Said Mimosa.
'Non-flashy quirk. That is a joke if he manages to enter the Black Bulls which means he also entered on UA. How come a kid with no great powered manage to get in this position?" Said Klaus continuing to mock Asta.
"Klaus-senpai." Said Yuno all serious and kinda pissed.
"Yes." Said Klaus a little taken back by the boy sudden change of tone from his normal one.
"I will suggest you stop bad mouthing Asta. He is someone that can achieve things never seen before." Said Yuno being very serious.
"What are you saying Yuno?" Asked Klaus in confusion.
Yuno never consider Asta as anybody, he saw that he could achieve things that even him who had a gifted quirk could do. Ever since they went their separate ways, Yuno had done tones of research in his spare time to look upon late bloomer quirks. The away that sword came to Asta was something really weird and Yuno had got a chill in his spine for that. He was secretly worried about Asta's safety so he wanted to know what was the deal with his ´´quirk´´.
"I still don´t know how he activated his quirk at the age of 14. That is scientifically impossible. But there is an answer, and I hope it doesn't end up with Asta death.'' Thought him;
'Are you ok yuno?" Asked Mimosa.
"Yes. Just thinking a little bit." Said him.
"I just hope they can at least come out of here alive. They already receive an attack by a villain group and were safe thanks to All Might. But now, they are on their own." Said Klaus showing the first tone of sympathy for the Black Bulls. As he said that the Golden Dawns keeps heading own.
Quirk Chancellor Office
Julius was having a busy day like always. He hated those, it was too many papers and fewer actions. He had to approve if that person was perfectly sane to be a hero if that faction could handle those quirks if this new section could use their quirk for work etc. Honestly, his only joy was that he could read what kind of quirk these people had it. That's was his joy. If that wasn't the case, he would have retired a long time ago.
But while he was reviewing some paper with Marx on his side, in case of Julius decide to skip work again a man comes to his room with a desperate breath.
"Sir Julius. Sir Julius." Said the man who appeared to be running.
"What in the hell." Said Marx all confused.
'Whoa calm there man. Here have some water." Said Julius giving the man a cup of water. After he drinks the water and was a bit more relaxed.
"Thank you.' Said the man.
"So. What is the problem?" Asked Julius.
"The recently discovered Dungeon has been receiving a report that members of the underground Diamond Force are there." Said the man giving the reports from his search of the newfound ´´ dungeon´´.
"What the Diamond Force. Those military monsters?" Said Marx horrified
"Yes." Said the man also with fear.
"Oh yes, I remember those people. They are stronger than an average pro hero." Said, Julius.
The diamond force were people that were against the new hero society were signed to dark military experiments to enhance their strengths and quirk power. They were notorious to be brutal and very powerful.
"Sir..." Said Marx all shocked that the Quirk Chancellor would only laugh at that.
'But sir Julius we also have a problem. Two new groups went to investigate the Dungeon, one of the Black Bulls and one of the Golden dawns. Each group has juniors." Said the man all desperate remembering the reports of Julius about the people who were given the mission.
'Oh no. I am gonna called Vangance and Sukehiro and then reinforcement." Said Marx going to give a few calls. Only to have Julius stop him.
"You are not doing that Marx.'" Said him with a smile.
"But…" Said Marx wanting to call reinforcement but Julius kept talking.
"Who was the person of that faction that was seen?" Asked Julius.
"Uh, the man that dubbed himself as ´´Lotus of the Abysm´´ Lotus Whomalt." Said the man showing the picture of the terrorist.
"Lotus Whomalt." Said Marx all in shock. That was a very notorious wanted quirk terrorist.
"Oh yeah. I remember him, we fought for a while. He was very strong, even manage to defeat some pro heroes." Said Julius with a nostalgic face.
"What." Said both the man and Marx in shock. If that man could handle Julius and defeat pro heroes then that means he was a danger.
"Sir, what we should do?" Asked Marx.
"Don´t worry. While I know that Lotus might be a threat I believe that the news kids are in match with him." Said Julius remembering his choice for the mission. The kid with enormous wind power and the kid that could negate quirk attacks. Those two were good choices.
Luck
The Quirk Squad member had just defeat a bunch of worthless goons that didn´t last a minute. He was with his electric boots and now electric claws. Luck was smiling but he was disappointed
"Why bad guys always have this people? They are not fun." Asked Luck looking at the henchman.
"Easy kid. We pay them to do our labor." Said a man wearing hipster clothes and a hand band that had the symbol of a diamond.
'Who…" Said Luck all confused and interested in seeing that man. That was the member of the diamond region military Lotus Whomalt.
"I can say you are impressive. Kind terrifying actually.'' Said Lotus with a kind sappy smile.
"A quirk squad member. Honestly, I prefer deal with you people than a pro hero in a ridiculous costume.'' Said Lotus still analyzing Luck.
"Ha. They were just henchmen. I´m pretty sure you are stronger than them." Said Luck with a hungry smile.
"I am flattered by your praise kid. I can see that you have an electric quirk and a very powerful one. Also, I have to praise you to use all of your youth strength, because once you get old…" Said Lotus looking like he was losing balance but he was not. It was just a weird thing that he was doing.
"Can we fight now?'' Asked Luck
"You are enthusiastic. And only thinks of the fight. That is the problems with the kids that enter for the hero business or the quirk squad is only the fight. You are not interested in looking at the Dungeon for the lost treasure that the Yakuza left under here. But can´t let you take it. If you do this money goes directly to your disgusting Hero pushing government'' Said Lotus giving his honest opinion of his current situation.
'I don´t care about politics. I just wanna fight. Therefore, do you wanna start?'' Asked Luck with his same hungry smile and electricity floating onto to him.
"Well…'' Said Lotus getting up from where he was…and quickly running.
"Hey.'' Said Luck disappointed.
"I prefer to fight nonviolently. Bye kid.'' Said Lotus giving a really weak excuse.
"Come back here.' Said Luck jumping in the air thanks to his electricity. But when he was close to grab Lotus, something weird appear out of nowhere.
"Smoke?" Said Luck confused.
"Well you trigged me.'' Said Lotus with a smirk as lots of smoke where coming out of his body.
Lotus Whomalt. Quirk: Smoke- His body can produce any kind of smoke. From not deadly to an extremely dangerous one. If he uses too much he starts to cough blood and lack of air.
"You Quirk Squad members and Pro heroes are the same. There are people who need this money and valuables that are hidden here and what you do? Waste in Government Publicity about how great they are.'' Said Lotus with a smirk as more white smoke escape his body.
'I told you I don´t care for politics. I just wanna fight.'' Said Luck punching the smoke trying to find Lotus.
"I see. But I warned you. There are many reasons why the Diamond region wasn´t claimed by the hero society.'' Said Lotus with a devilish smile ready to fight Luck.
Asta and Noelle
Everything was going from bad to worse for the two newbies. The accidentally open up some kind of gravity trap, which made them float into the air like balloons.
"What is this?" Asked Asta floating in the air.
'Don´t look at me from this angle.'' Said Noelle clutch so her lower parts weren´t showing.
"Hey Nero is this the right way?'' Asked Asta to his bird that was now sleeping.
"Hey don´t fall asleep.'' Said Asta all irritated.
"If we go into the door we might get out of this.'' Said Noelle looking at the door that Nero pointed out.
"Right,'' Said Asta
The duo keeps swinging in the air. It was sure frustrating but after too much conflict, they were able to reach the door. And as soon as they passed the door, the gravity turn to normal.
"We did it'' Said Asta all happy.
"So that's how it feels to be in zero gravity. Now I know what must be being touched by Uraraka.'' Said Noelle with a sick feeling with his stomach.
"Yeah. That was…'' Said Asta putting his hand on the wall and then suddenly a secret door appeared from the wall.
"Huh.'' Said both of them confused.
"What is it?" Asked Asta.
"A secret door." Said Noelle looking at the style of the door. Many Yakuza members would hide stuff at any place that they could so they wouldn´t be a robe.
"Urgh. Smell horrible.'' Said Noelle. It was true, that room smelled like rotten meat.
"It might but look.'' Said Asta shoving a big wooden chest.
"A chest? Why a chest? Why not something more subtle like a safe box or hidden combination? Who is common up with theses medieval styles at our current year?' Shout Noelle all sick of the fantasy style scenario that modern girl like her was coming across. True she works for a special squad with superpowers but that was the normal nowadays
"I don´t know Noelle. But look is big and cold. Might have some money inside.'' Said Asta.
"Ok. I´m checking in also for sure.'' Said Noelle all curious.
"Alright. And it's open.'' Said Asta opening the chest. Only to find…organs, human organs in big ice cubs that did not melt. Apparently some of the Yakuza were into harvesting organs for the black market. Needless to say, that made both Asta and Noelle puke.
"Blerght.''
'WHY DID YOU SHOW ME THIS?'' Shouted Noelle in fury.
"Hey I didn't know that someone was putting organs in here.'' Said Asta still with a sick face.
"Of course you should know. Yakuzas operated in this place, don't you know what they sell?" Said Noelle hitting Asta in the head.
"Oh, man.'' Said Asta rubbing off his bump in the head.
While the two were bickering like children, Nero was just observing them very curious.
Luck vs Lotus
Luck was all out with his quirk. His entire body was covered with electricity and he was doing the best to land a hit into Lotus, unfortunately, the smoke user was really full of tricks. Lotus was doing most of Luck punches and kicks but soon he stops moving when he realized something.
"Wait a minute. Your symbol. You are a black bull aren´t you?" Asked Lotus noticing Luck rope.
"Yeah, so what?'' Asked Luck.
"I clashed with your captains many years ago." Said Lotus reviling his past with Yami.
"Wait you know captain Yami?" Asked Luck
"How could I ever forget that monster.'' Said Lotus with a nostalgic vibe in his face. Soon after, he took off his main shirt and show a big scar in his chest.
"He gave this scar. And when I thought I could fight back All Might showed up and so I ran. I am not idiot to take down the Number one hero.'' Said Lotus remembering the number one hero showing up. He was really scared back then.
"I don´t care about All Might but what do you thought of the captain?'' Asked Luck
"Even as young he had a unique fighting style. Both is physical attack and quirk attacks were very powerful. He surely deserve the rank that he got.'' Said Lotus putting his shirt back and giving his thoughts and opinions on Yami Sukehiro.
"I know I wanna fight him so…'' Said Luck with a bigger smile but then suddenly he felt lost of air and almost drop to his knees.
"What is wrong kid? Need a break?" Asked Lotus.
'No. I wanna pummel you.'' Said Luck ready to strike. But surprising even with his super velocity, Lotus was able to dodge his punch.
"Slow.'' Said Lotus with a smirk.
"What.'' Said Luck in shock.
"I gotta say, kid. You are definitely strong. But for me…I don´t wanna fight you.'' Said Lotus making more smoke appear.
Luck felt his head spinning and look of hallucination.
"What is going on? Why I am spinning? I do not remember being hit by his smoke.'' Thought Luck with his head hurting like crazy.
''By the looks of your face, you don´t know what is going on. Well, you see this room is already covered in a thin almost invisible smoke than when swallowed tends to mess around with the brain of the person, causing loss of balance and delusions. I not having this problem since it is my quirk. My lackies over there, now are going to receive praise since their sacrifice gives enough time for me to conjure the smoke and you to smells enough to get dizzy.'' Said Lotus explaining his strategy
"Crap.'' Said Luck dropping to his knees.
'Teamwork is important kid.'' Said Lotus potting at his henchman who sacrifice their body to Luck attacks so can Lotus could perform his attack.
Klaus, Mimosa and Yuno
After passing a bunch of trap rooms and old security cameras, the three Golden Dawn members arrived into a mass door. Judging by the look it must be when the main goal is, Yakuza members always like to keep their goods either in big places or secret places. The people that own this place weren´t suddenly at all.
"Is huge.'' Said Mimosa looking at the big door.
"Of course. It the sign that shows where the main items are.' Said Klaus.
'The black bulls aren´t here.'' Said Yuno, while Mimosa checking her cellphone.
'And no signal, so we can't contact them.'' Said Mimosa looking at the ´´No Signal´´ signal on her phone. She had Noelle contact and no chance of contacting.
'Put your phone away, Vermillion. This is a important job to be done." Said Klaus.
"Oh, I´m sorry Klaus sen…" Said Mimosa but before she could finish her sentence she was stabbed…by diamonds.
"Argh.'' Said her in pain.
"Vermillion!" Said both Yuno and Klaus in horror.
The girl was now in the floor with her back bleeding. The two boys hurry to check on her.
"She is blending. I will do the treatment.'' Said Klaus picking at his medical kit on his pocket.
"Alright.'' Said Yuno.
"This wasn´t a trap. It was a full-on attack. But who done it?'' Thought Yuno looking around and then something spotted his attention. A man probably in his twenties walking toward them, he had silver hair, a diamond in his forehead, he had also a white and silver jacket and no shirt. By the looks, he seen very strong.
"Who are you?" Asked Klaus with anger while treated Mimosa.
"Out of my way. You scum heroes.'' Said him with a cold tone voice, while diamonds were appearing in his surround.
Luck
The electric Black Bulls was now to the point of fainting. He was getting weaker by each respiration. He was shaking and with his knees on the ground.
"Well, kid I give to you. That's was impressive. But I got to go. See you later.'' Said Lotus with a smirk.
"Win." Said Luck very weak.
"Huh.'' Said Lotus confused.
"Always wins'' Said Luck getting back up. Every time he saw ready to be knocked out a flashback always appear in his head.
"Luck no matter what opponent you are upon against you can beat. You can always win a fight. DO it for me Luck.'' Said the voice of a woman. Which was his mom.
"I will do mom. I love you.'' Said a young luck
'I love you too sweetie.'' Said his mother.
"I will…win!" Said Luck covering his body in electricity and ready to brawl.
'So you are monster all along huh. I gotta admit if I defeat you now it can save lots of trouble. Just tell me. What motivates a person like to keep fighting.'' Said Lotus preparing more smoke. While Luck was ready to fight, he had the flashback of this promise.
Flashback
Luck Voltia was always energetic even before getting his quirk. When he got it, the situation got worst. His parents were common people, his mother a social worker and his dad a construction employee. At the age of six Luck father die from an accident at his job and even at his funeral Luck couldn't stop smiling. His mother frighten by this put him upon many psychological instituted and researches to see what was going but the results always scared her, because she always believed Luck was a good kid.
"Luck promise me you are not gonna start trouble right.'' Said his mother very worried.
'Yes, mom. Anything for you.'' Said a young Luck
"Alright.' Said his mother. She was also starting to tear up stress and lack of sleep because Luck's behavior had been bothering her for a while now.
"Why are you crying?" Asked Luck still smiling.
'Allergies.'' Said her cleaning her tears in a very poor way.
From there it got worst. In the worst times, Luck was still smiling. Even when he got beat up at school he was always come back with that creepy smile. It wasn´t like the shining and perfect smile that All Might would have, it was a psychotic one.
One night after drinking a little too much, Luck's mom found his kid watching a gruesome fight were blood was being spilled everywhere and what was Luck's reaction to all that gore? A smile of joy. That really was the last straw for his mother, that in a fit of rage and possibly drunk she raises her hand to Luck and slap right in the face.
SLAP
It was a really strong slap. The mark on her hand got in his check and he was put on the ground. However, even at the sight of his own mother attack him, Luck was still smiling.
"Why? Why are you stil smiling? I just hit you.'' Scream Luck mother in pure anger. But still nothing.
"Be angry! Cry! Scream at me with range! You little monster!" Scream her hitting Luck even more.
Slap
That went one for a few hours. After that Luck mother was so desperate that she gave up in trying to change her son's expression. She didn't stop drinking but Luck didn´t mind the slaps.
A few weeks later in Luck middle school at battle tournament was being held and the winner would fight a newcomer pro hero and receive a grand prize cash. Luck end up winning the tournament and eventually beating the pro hero. A middle school defatted a pro hero. That made headlines, but nobody would call Luck to go to the agency because of his look. But his mother didn´t care. She now knew that Luck had a future.
"You beat up a pro hero with just your power?! Luck I am proud of you.'' Said his mother hugging his son with so much happiness.
"You are?'' Said Luck actually surprised it was the first time in a while that his mother told him that she was proud.
"Yes. This money will help for a long time and I can't thank you enough.'' Said her.
"Anything for you mother.'' Said Luck.
His mother looks at this money and saw that this could go right. So she decide to give him a motivational speech.
'Luck listen to me. Always fight, train more your quirk and when confronted with an opponent defeat him. Win Luck. Always win. Got it.'' Said her very serious and those words were craved in Luck mind forever.
"Yes, mom. I got it.'' Said him with his usual smile.
"Good. I love you.'' Said her hugging her son even more.
"Love you too.'' Said Luck embracing his mom.
Present
His promises to his mom was the key to all his strength. Ever since then Luck was always looking for fights to win. Money and fame never grabbed his interest, a good fight was enough. Lotus has seen more relaying on his quirk to actual strength, as long Luck could go near him he could win.
"Charge volt.'' Said luck realizing thunderbolts.
'Damw he still at all powered up.'' Said Lotus actually surprised at the kids' power.
'I am not letting you escape. I´m not losing.'' Said Luck still very persistent even after all that smoke was healed.
'Good speech kid. But I also not pretend to lose either.'' Said Lotus preparing his special attack.
"What.'' Said Luck confused about what was going on. The room got darker and it was filled with smoke from burning buildings.
'Black smoke. Prison of the solitaire.'' Said Lotus grabbing Luck with his smoke and make the kid stuck.
'Well you got me. This attack takes a lot of my strength but it keeps you in check. "Said Lotus coughing a little bit.
'Kids now a day they sure are powerful. I just wonder how ours is doing. He is not the best social person if you get it.'' Said Lotus making more black smoke to prison luck.
Mimosa, Klaus and Yuno
While Klaus was finishing patching up Mimosa, Yuno still stand tall looking at his new opponent. He had just attacked his quirk squad partner and classmate, he was sure in big trouble.
"I am almost done Vermillion. Just hang a little bit.'' Said Klaus closing the wound.
'It's ok. I can handle the rest. Recovery herbs." Said Mimosa using her quirk to heal the rest.
"This will take a few minutes to heal. Sorry for that everyone, I am the one that can cure ferments and I got distracted.''' Said her apologizing.
"Don't apologize for something that wasn't your fault. As long as you get good, we can move with our mission.'' Said Klaus.
"Right.'' Said her.
Klaus saw their enemy and notice something important.
'The symbol. Is of the Diamond region. I know because it is open to the public, anyone wearing one of those is immediately arrest. So that is me he is here for the Yazuka money.'' Thought hi,
"What are scoundrels doing here?'' Asked the diamond terrorist.
"Bastard. Attacking someone from behind! Do you have no shame.'' Asked Klaus but the enemy still didn´t give a shit.
"I don´t know what are you talking about? By the way, my name is Mars'' Said Marx weirdly giving his name.
"What.'' Said Klaus confuse for that statement.
'All I see are pebbles standing in my way.'' Said Mars making a huge wave of diamonds.
Mars. Quirk: Diamond- He can produce a huge amount of diamond from his body with no problem. The smaller the barrier more durable the diamond is, but they are still very hard to break.
"Vermillion.'' Said Yuno seeing that the wall was going to hit the girl.
'Oh no. Iron wall." Said Klaus making a wall with the liquid iron that he put in the ground.
"Iron. Not a problem for my diamonds.'' Said Mars all cold.
"Back me up Yuno.'' Said Klaus.
"Right.'' Said Yuno in battle position realizing more wind attacks. But his attacks plus Klaus were not reaching Mars.
'You diamond follower scum. Is time for you to witness the power of The Golden Dawns.'' Said Klaus trying to be menacing but with no success.
"These people never learn.'' Said Mars all cold.
Asta and Noelle
After the disgusting encounter with the ´´treasure´´. The two black bulls were running around what it felt like a maze. They were still going when suddenly Noelle stopped.
"Do you feel that?" Ask Noelle.
"What.'' Said Asta.
'A fight and a really intense one. It looks like Luck managed to come across a villain.'' Said Noelle sensing a huge amount of energy.
'So why are we standing here? Let's go help him.'' Said Asta wanting to assist but Noelle stop him.
"No. If there is an enemy than that means they are also after the Yakuza treasure. This place is not easy to get around is import to us to find it and to deliver to the authorities. At this rate, the Golden Dawns is gonna beat us.'' Said Noelle.
"I can't let Yuno surpass me again.' Thought Asta all worried.
"Ok, we go for it. I'm sure Luck senpai can handle a fight," Said Asta with a smile and the two continue to run in the halls of the place.
The truth was Luck was in deep trouble. He was struggling to set himself free but still nothing. He keep having images of the night his mother slap him and her promise. He need to win for her. Because that's the only thing he had left of her.
Mimosa, Klaus and Yuno
While Mimosa was still healing. Yuno and Klaus were struggling hard to even land a hit on Marx. Do to the cause even at full attack from a veteran of the Golden Dawn and a prodigy like Yuno, Marx didn´t show any signs of struggle or tiredness.
"Metal drills.'' Said Klaus creating giants iron drills to break the diamond.
"Wind clash.'' Said Yuno making a huge amount of wind.
Even with those attacks, some of the diamonds were able to be broken but not even come close to Mars.
"How pitiful.'' Said him all cold making more diamonds.
"Dammit. He is too strong, not only that we hit with everything we got and he don´t appear to be tired. I have no choice.'' Thought Klaus almost without breath.
"Yuno take Vermillion with you. I'm will fight him all by myself.'' Said Klaus all serious.
"No sir is too dangerous and…''Said Yuno not accepting this but his superior cut him.
'Don´t disobey your superior. Besides I don´t wanna give this job to a country kid like but we were assigned a mission so you better finished. You heard me. Both of you?'' Scream Klaus.
"Yes. Let's go.'' Said Mimosa.
After that, both her and Yuno leave Klaus alone to deal with Mars.
'Go you idiots.'' Said Klaus.
'I´m not letting you pass. Diamond Rain.'' Said Mars making a huge amount of diamond fall from the sky to hit the two teens.
'Your opponent is me. Iron sand storm.'' Said Klaus making a storm of iron sand to block the diamonds and it works. So it was seen he had to face Mars all by himself.
Luck
The very agitated Black Bull was now really down for the count. He was moving a muscle, it appears that Lotus black smoke really had a great effect on the kid body.
"Well it appears that he suffer enough. I will let you free.'' Said Lotus, however, suddenly Asta appear cutting the smoke.
"What that.'' Asked Lotus and saw Asta and Noelle were there.
"Another energetic kid.'' Said Lotus looking at Asta.
Klaus.
The Golden Dawn veteran was having major difficulties with Mars. His iron was strong but it was not the same level as the diamond. While his diamonds were, breakables it was still a lot to go.
"Crap. I running out of time.'' Thought him with little breath. Mars was a tough guy.
'You shouldn´t be here.'' Said Mars all cold ready to kill Klaus when suddenly.
"Winds of spiritual liberation.'' Said Yuno and then various swords made of wind appear and destroy the diamonds that were sent to Klaus.
The veterans saw both his juniors back in action ready to fight.
'What! Yuno, Vermillion why are you two here?'' Asked him all angry.
Even though the two were in different locations both Asta and Yuno were remembering something that they talk once they were kids back at hage. They were still really young and it was before the accident, Asta was a little more ´´brave´´ than Yuno. While sister lIly was making laundry and Recca was taking care of Nash. Their words were still fresh in their heads. They were in the rooftop of the church looked at Hage like it was their world.
"Yuno, we´re family right?" Asked Asta.
'Of course. We are brothers." Said Yuno.
"But not by blood.' Said Asta.'
"Maybe.'' Said Yuno a little sad.
"But we are more connected than people who share the same blood." Said Asta.
"What are you saying?" Asked yuno
"I´m saying once we get older…let's treat our friends like family. The same as we do to each other here in the church.'' Said Asta all chipper and happy.
'Yes. You right.'' Said Yuno with a smile and looking on the horizon for a bright future.
That scene kept playing on their heads. Yuno came back to save Klaus, while Asta came to rescue Luck. Even though they were supposed to move along they couldn't leave their friend behind.
Yuno
'Yuno what are you doing here? Vermillion explain.'' Asked Klaus demanding answers.
"Well…'' Said Mimosa not knowing what to respond but Yuno was direct.
"Klaus senpai. In your state you can´t beat him. So let's beat him all of us together." Said Yuno super serious as him and Mimosa were ready to fight with their quirks.
Asta
Asta and Noelle had separated Luck from the black smoke, freeing him from his prison. The two juniors stare at Lotus with determination, while the terrorist only smirk.
"Well, dawn. You had friends all along. Now I am screwed.'' Thought Lotus.
"Luck-senpai rest. We will deal with him.'' Said Asta wanting to fight.
'No.'' Said Luck now getting some air now that Asta had cleaned up the air with the sword.
"What?" Said Asta and Noelle confused.
"He is mine.'' Said Luck full of electricity and ready to beat that crap of Lotus.
Luck at the moments were he seen to lost a battle remembers of the worst thing to ever happen to him: His mother died. A few moments after his incredible victory, Luck mother try to manage his son as an upstart in quirk fight tournaments. It was working for a while, however the stress of this situation while luck coastally asking to more fights made her very sick and later die.
At her funeral, it was a rainy day. A few people were there more friends than family. Luck was smiling like always but his smile looked more like a mask covering all his sadness. However before he could say goodbye to his mother corpse he remember her last request. To always keep winning. A philosophy that Luck decide to take to the next level.
"But Luck sen…." Said Asta but then Luck was already gone before he could be finished.
'I can´t allow this. Otherwise, mom will be sad.'' Said Luck all ready to fight.
"Well it looks like is you again.'' Said Lotus preparing a counter-attack.
Lotus was showing more of his quirk. More tense smoke to attack Luck. But suddenly.
"I won´t let you behind." Said Asta was going by his side ready to fight alongside to Luck.
'What…'' Said Luck confused in seeing Asta fighting with him.
Luck was surprised to see this. Normally he would brush off and try to have all the fight for himself but this time seen a little different.
"I'm not letting do all this by yourself Luck senpai. You are our friend.'' Said Asta shouting.
"All this time I fought because I wanna to thank the only person that was always by my side, mom. But now…I have friends who are always there for me.'' Thought Luck with fascination. Since he joined the Black Bulls and UA he had made so much friends and allies that could follow him. Now he knew that he could count on others to help him wins his fights.
"Sorry mom. But this victory will be shared.'' Thought Luck.
"Man you are persistent. At least the cutie there didn´t…'' Said Lotus checking at Noelle who made some strong shield of water in her arm in form of a dragon scale that start to shooting at Lotus.
'Water dragon scales.''
"Urgh'.' Said him being hit by one of those water bullet.
'Dragon scales can be stronger than iron. I would not rush if I were you.'' Said Noelle.
"Man this isn´t good. Now I have three pain in the ass to deal with.'' Said Lotus with blood in his mouth.
"Well you all ask that for these kids. Black smoke liberation.'' Said Lotus making a special move.
"Does this guy doesn't´ have a quirk limitation?' Asked Asta scared on seeing all that black smoke.
"I heard that the soldiers from the Diamond region are above your average citizen.'' Said Luck
"What do you mean Luck senpai?" Asked Asta.
"I don´t know. But this is the best I could remember.'' Said Luck. Both Asta and Noelle had a sweat on their heads over the random exposition that Luck gave.
"Can't escape now kids. This smoke is so dense that is impossible to see. The good side is that you are not dying from lack of air.'' Said the voice of Lotus that was in the midst of the enormous sea of black smoke.
'We are not letting you escape.'' Said Asta cutting many parts of the attack
"He cancels …all of the attack?!'' Thought Lotus now in horror.
"Because the Black Bulls are going to win.'' Said Asta cutting more of the smoke.
"Hiya.'' Said Asta doing more of his battle cry.
'Thunder claps.'' Said Luck making thunder coming off his hands.
"Water ball.'' Said Noelle making her little attack to try to hit Lotus.
Even if the three Black Bulls keep attacking the big black smoke over and over it would still do nothing.
"Come on. I keep cutting and nothing happens.'' Said Asta all tired.
'Shut up and keep going you imbecile.'' Said Noelle still shouting water from her palm.
They kept fighting and fighting for what felt like hours and the smoke was not being decreased. Even with Asta anti quirk sword, the smoke was not gone and it appears the situation was getting worst because the black smoke was still increasing.
"I´m getting dizzy guys.'' Said Asta feeling sick.
'Is getting thicker. If we don´t stop this we are done.'' Said Noelle analyzing the situation.
While Asta and Noelle kept attacking the smoke, Luck stop to think about Lotus. During his battle he could see that he was able to freely move around his smoke, probably another good use of his quirk. He may not be the stronger physical fighter; also, his way of sensing ´´energy´´ of his adversary was really good. The only way Luck thought about winning this fight it would be with a surprise attack. But how? Luck asks himself until he saw Asta and got a plan.
Lotus was in a very high position. He was in a good space so the Black Bulls wouldn't find him, while his body released countless amount of the dark smoke. While he was doing this, he started to cough.
"So I am reaching my limit, hud?'' Said Lotus seeing that there was blood in his mouth.
"No problem. Once I get fresh air and a good meal, I will be ready to release more smoke.'' Said Lotus seeing that he was winning once those people were knocked out by the smoke but his attention was changed.
"Huh.'' Said Lotus noticing some electric thundershock coming in his direction.
"Electric thunder balls.'' Said the voice of Luck and his attacks were hitting everything. But not Lotus.
'An all attack. Kid, now you are desperate.'' Said Lotus with a smirk dodging the attacks.
"It is useless. As long you are in the smoke, I can detect you. Besides I am far more superior than you because…'' Said Lotus dodging all the attacks but then he was got by surprised by Asta.
'Huh.'' Said Lotus seeing the young black bulls right by his side and now swing his giant sword.
'Hiya'' Said Asta attacking Lotus and delivering a critical blow on Lotus ribs.
'How?'' Asked him all confused. He made sure to have so much smoke that Asta sword couldn't cut everything at the place. But he was still very confused about how he managed to escape his trap.
The plan was simple. Luck was going to deliver most of the attack so Lotus will be district. IN the meanwhile, Noelle would use a little bit of one her attacks to launch Asta. Since he didn´t have any quirk and was pretty much getting Lotus attack there was no way that the Diamond Region fighter would sense him.
"You were right old man. Teamwork is important.'' Said Luck with a smile of confidence in his face.
Yuno
"Vermillion I would suggest you do a step back. Because I´m going to be serious now.'' Said Yuno being super serious. He was now preparing attacks.
'Ok.'' Said Mimosa a little afraid of that serious tone of voice. Yuno was always nodding and being neutral, so him being serious was really scary.
"What are you…'' Asked Klaus seeing Yuno preparing a giant attack. One very big and intimate one.
"Swift white hawk.'' Said Yuno making a giant menacing wind hawk.
'Huh.'' Said Klaus in shock for all that power.
"Swords of revelation.'' Said Yuno making another attack. The ability of realizing two giants attacks at the same time was kind difficult to be seen.
"Two different attacks at the same time. Impossible. With his power, he could…" Thought Klaus astound by Yuno power. He may be a junior but with that power, he could go far in this world.
"I will make sure that the Golden Dawn reach the Yazuka treasure." Said Yuno all serious realizing his two powerful attacks.
"Oh no. I am not allowing that.'' Said Mars making a mountain of a diamond. Yuno attacks were so powerful that it appears that a tornado had passed in the room. He had managed to break most of the diamonds but Mars was still up.
"Oh.'' Said Mimosa all students by Yuno power. She had saw his power in the battle training but this was complete a total different level.
'This is incredible.'' Thought Klaus with his jaw dropped to this amount of power. How could a poor boy from nowhere had this much power?
"Yuno. You are exhausted, let me fight also.'' Said Mimosa wanting to assist upon seeing Yuno catching his breath.
"No. He will crush your plants, do support at the moment.' Said Yuno.
'This man. Can him being one of the Diamond militaries.'' Thought Klaus seeing Mars outfit a little better. The diamond military was an underground force that was notorious for its strength and quirk user.
'I have to say Quirk squad members you impressed me. But I am not letting you all walk away from here alive. Super Move: Buster Diamond Sword.'' Said Mars making something very impossible. He was combining all the diamonds that were scattered, plus making new ones and turning into a seven feet tall giant sword. Final Fantasy Style
'What is going on?' Asked Yuno genially confused.
''He…is doing?'' Asked Mimosa seeing the formation of the diamonds were taking.
"It can be.'' Said Yuno seeing the giant sword. Mars was holding something that would weight tons, but for him was like nothing.
"This is physically impossible. Nobody even at this era would be able to lift this much amount diamond mineral. How strong is he?'' Thought Klaus trembling in fear of that man.
'Now quirk squad mages. Be gone'' Said Mars ready to squash the three quirk squad members.
Yeah, I´m ending here. I like this twist because is really good. Also I like Mars, he was a interesting backstory and you can bet that he is gonna meet Class 1-A and 1-B in the future.
So yeah this was part 1 of the Dungeon Arc, The next chapter is the wrap-up and then we finally gonna start aiming at the sports Festival. Side note, I all read have a concept for the Diamond Region defense and why the Hero society are so afraid. The main reason why All Might didn´t went to finish them is because he was so obsessed with All For One that he never bother, any other hero or quirk squad member that went after them was killed.
The Hero Safety Commission thinks they are the worst threats possible, that is because the Spade Region hasn´t made a move yet. Also I making an interesting argument that is gonna involve Yuno and the Hero government in a few chapters. I hope you like what you all read it. See ya.
