The heroes at the Hassaikai HQ had barged through the front door, ready to do what they needed to do to bring down the villainous gang.
"So far I haven't seen any sign of suspicious activity," Fat Gum said.
"Same here, but we're in it now," Rock Lock said. "We got no choice but to see it through."
"We gotta move fast, otherwise they'll make a break for it," Nightwing said. "If they destroy any evidence, we won't be able to bring them in."
Cyborg turned to see more of them coming, "You all go, I'll keep these guys off of us."
"I got your back, dude!" Beast Boy said, turning into a Gorilla and assisting Cyborg in his fight.
"Keep yer eyes and ears out," Logan instructed. "Try not to separate, these bastards might try to divide us and that's when we'll fall apart."
"You're the team expert," Fat Gum said.
"Kind of ironic too," Johnny said, getting the attention of Jiro and Kaminari. "Wolverine's been in a lot of superhero groups. In addition to The X-Men, he's also been part of The Avengers and The New Fantastic Four."
"New? Wait what about your Fantastic Four?" Kaminari asked.
"We were missing at the time, long story," Johnny said. "So Wolverine, along with Spider-Man, The Hulk and Ghost Rider filled in as members of the Fantastic Four until our return."
"Not surprised Spidey helped, you two are pretty tight knit," Jiro said.
"Yeah, he's my bro," Johnny said. "Logan and Peter are two guys you can definitely depend on."
"Also, if I may ask, who's Ghost Rider?" Jiro asked.
"I was gonna ask the same thing," Kaminari said.
"I'll go into details later, but long story short, he's a vigilante who deals with supernatural stuff," Johnny said.
"Supernatural?" Kaminari asked, the boy feeling even more worried. "Wait, is he an actual ghost?"
"Like I said, I'll tell you more later. Focus on what's ahead," Johnny said.
"...Man, first talk of zombies and now hearing about supernatural stuff," Kaminari lamented. "Didn't realize being a pro meant dealing with monsters."
"You should have figured that out the first time we saw a Nomu," Jiro said. "Hurry and keep running."
"Torch, where's your wife?" Rock Lock asked.
"She ran ahead to make sure we're on the right path," Johnny said. "And to keep an eye out for traps. She'll be fine, she's too fast to catch."
"She suffered an injury fighting All for One, didn't she?" Fat Gum asked. "Can she still maintain that same speed?"
"She's...slightly slower, and it sucks but, she's still faster than the eye could see," Johnny said. "Don't underestimate my wife, she's got this under control."
"Hey question," Tamaki said. "Was our plan to invade this place leaked? They didn't seem that surprised that we were here."
"If it was, they'd be better prepared," Leon said. "The big brute in the front probably knew, everyone else seemed to be in the dark about it. Given that Wesker happened to be here it's even more possible some of them may have known but the underlings weren't informed."
"Still surprised neither you nor Chun-Li pursued Wesker and Juri," Johnny said. "You know us pros have it under control here."
"We have a job to do here, and we gotta see it through to the end," Leon said. "Besides, Wesker is more Chris's fight than mine."
"I want to take down Juri but stopping the problem at its source is top priority," Chun-Li said. "Peter can handle it, Leon and I are needed here. Besides, if Wesker and Juri are around, then maybe the rumors of Shadoloo being close by are true as well. I'd much rather take those guys down instead."
"How bad is Shadoloo exactly?" Kaminari asked.
"Simply put, they're very dangerous, keep your guard up," Chun-Li said. "Not that it should ever be down in the first place."
"Oh boy, if they are here, then this fight's gonna be a lot tougher," Mayday said. "Gotta say though, a lot of these guys are doing well at working together regardless."
"Guys like these don't typically just see each other as just fellow gang members, they have a strong brotherhood," Aizawa said. "Those in the underworld value loyalty."
"That's gonna blow Rainbow Dash's mind," Mayday said.
"She already knows this, even the Elements of Harmony can have a dark side to them," Johnny said. "Isn't that right, Fluttershy?"
"Even those who appear Kind can also be just as manipulative," Fluttershy said. "Those with Loyalty stick with each other, even if it means doing terrible things."
"Even Frieza's men showed some degree of Loyalty to one another, especially the Ginyu Force," Gohan recalled. "That makes them dangerous in a way, sometimes even villains have something they want to fight for."
"Huh?" Izuku recalled that Mayday said something similar before. "Do they really have that same passion that heroes do? Why use that passion for evil?"
"All those people are fighting, meanwhile we haven't caught the top brass yet," Aizawa said. "They're probably underground getting ready to flee."
"How is that Loyalty?" Kirishima asked. "Forcing their henchmen to fight while they run away isn't manly!"
"Those men may be loyal, but their bosses may not be," Johnny said. "That's why Loyalty has a downside, you can be loyal all you want to someone, but that doesn't mean that someone will be loyal to you. Rainbow Dash is Loyal to her friends and they're Loyal to her."
"Exactly, I would never abandon Rainbow Dash, because she would never abandon us," Fluttershy said. "I trust that you would never abandon your friends either, Ejiro."
"No way, I stick with them to the end!" Kirishima said.
"You know true loyalty, that makes you a better man than they are," Fluttershy said. "If Dashie were here, she'd agree."
"Agree on what?" Rainbow Dash asked, suddenly appearing by their side.
"Geez, where'd you come from?" Kirishima asked.
"Gotta keep your guard up, kid," Rainbow Dash instructed
"Dash, anything to worry about up there?" Johnny asked.
"Place is pretty secure," Rainbow Dash said. "Seems like there aren't too many secrets, though I couldn't find that entrance Peter mentioned."
"He already showed me this morning," Nighteye said, stopping near a vase. "Kind of grateful for Spider-Man's drones."
"You know, you could have told me where that was sooner so I could have activated it myself," Rainbow Dash said.
"No one told you to go on ahead," Nighteye said, activating what he needed to.
"Whoa, it's like a ninja hideout," Bubble Girl said.
"Stay focused," Nighteye said as he opened the door. "There could be danger ahead."
"Get them!" Came the voice of a villain grunt.
Centeper immediately grabbed two while Bubble Girl apprehended the third in quick succession.
"We got these guys, you go on ahead!" Bubble Girl instructed.
"You heard the lady, get moving," Logan ordered as everyone ran downstairs.
"I don't suppose Spider-Man gave someone a map of this place," Jiro said.
"He knows that this place has a lot of twists and turns but he doesn't know the exact layout," Logan said. "There's only so much he can do with his drones."
"Yeah...like this dead end," Mayday said as the group came across a wall.
"Great, so now what?" Rock Lock asked.
"Hold on," Mirio said, making his way to the wall and phasing his head through, revealing there's more to the underground. "Looks like there is a path." Mirio turned back to his team. "The hallway's just been blocked with this wall, but breaking through won't be easy."
"Damn, this Chisaki guy really is good at tearing shit apart and putting it back together," Rock Lock said.
"All I'm hearing is that this guy went to a lot of trouble here to hide something," Mayday said. "Like my dad would say, anything well-guarded must have something worth guarding."
"We just need to blast our way through," Johnny said. "Gohan, mind doing the honors?"
"Everyone stand back," Gohan said, readying his ki He held his hand out and blasted the wall, to the amazement of many of the students.
"Dude, you're like really strong! How are you not the Top Hero?" Kaminari asked.
"I'm not in this for the popularity," Gohan said. "Truth be told, I'd be too nervous to do the interviews that All Might does. I'm not a talkative guy."
"Still, you're pretty strong," Kaminari said.
"Well there's plenty of heroes stronger than me, not that strength is all that matters in the first place," Gohan said.
"Yeah, being badass helps too," Johnny said. "Now let's go find Chisaki."
"Bonus if we can find him before Peter brings down Wesker," Rainbow Dash said. "It'd give us a chance at that so-called God."
"Right..." Mayday said. She stopped to look up the stairs, everyone passing her by as a sense of worry took over.
"Mayday? Are you alright?" Mirio asked. "You're gonna get left behind."
"I'm worried about my parents," Mayday said. "Same with Izuku, Tsu and Eri."
"They'll be fine, your parents are strong, and so is Midoriya," Mirio said.
"They are, but Albert Wesker is strong, fast and very cunning," Mayday said. "Even if my dad can handle him, I'm not sure if Izuku can, or anyone from my class for that matter."
"You're gonna need to have faith," Mirio said. "Focus on the task here, otherwise Chisaki will escape."
"Mirio! Mayday! Hurry up!" Nighteye called.
"Yes Sir!" Mirio said. "Let's go Mayday."
"Right," Mayday said, following her classmate.
In the distance, Mimic had injected himself with a strange serum, turning the tiny gangster into a giant muscular man as he merged himself with the hallway walls, causing them to move around like clay.
This affected the oncoming heroes, none of them understanding what was happening.
"Why is everything twisting around!?" Laura shouted, sticking her claws into the ground to maintain her balance.
"It must be Irunaka!" the police chief said. "His quirk mimic lets him enter objects and control them like they're a part of his body!"
"So this guy is controlling the walls?" Laura shouted. "How strong is his quirk!?"
"Not this strong," Rock Lock said. "Reports say he can't control anything larger than a damn refrigerator!"
"Dollars to donuts say he's using a quirk enhancer," Fat Gum theorized. "I was prepared for anything, not the whole building turning against us!"
"Chisaki really does not want to be found," Mayday said.
"The bright side is that something this intense might be wearing him out," Fat Gum theorized. "Eraser Head, can you erase his quirk?"
"Not unless I see his real body," Aizawa stated.
"Of course it ain't that easy," Rock Lock said. "Yo, Wolverine, can you sniff this guy out?"
"Scent might be mixed with the cement, but I can probably pull it off with Laura and Rina," Logan said.
"Three noses are better than one," Rina said.
"We need to hurry. With a quirk like this, they can create as many escape routes as they want, and we'll lose sight of Chisaki," Tamaki said, the boy freaking out. "Oh what does it matter? Chisaki will escape and we'll all die down here!"
"Tamaki!" Mirio said, getting his attention. "That will not happen, and you'll do your part, alright Suneater? Plus this is just a stop gap, but if we know the direction, we can still reach it!"
Mirio then bolted forward, to the concern of Nighteye, "Lemillion!"
"Mirio, come back! It's not safe by yourself!" Mayday called.
"Listen, they're only doing this to stall for time! If we don't hurry, not only will Chisaki get away, but he will go after Eri!" Mirio said. "The Hassaikai clearly know where your home is Mayday! Even if your father stops Albert Wesker, that won't prevent Chisaki from trying himself!"
Mayday's eyes widened in worry, the idea of this gangster putting her family in danger. Even if Peni is home, for all Mayday knew, Chisaki had a quirk enhancer, putting her aunt and her little brother at risk.
"Mirio! Wait for me!" Mayday said, running toward her friend, leaving everyone behind.
"They got the right idea," Rina said, then turned to Tamaki. "Ready to join, Suneater?"
Despite some hesitation, Tamaki nodded his head in agreement, "Of course, Mirio's doing all he can. So should I!"
"That's the spirit, bud!" Rina said, gesturing forward. "Let's go!"
Mirio continued ahead, going through the walls while Mayday punched through, this getting the attention of Mimic.
"Going through the walls huh?" Mimic noted. "Even if they get to Chisaki, it's not like he'll be alone. Even Spider-Man's little girl is in over her head."
Suddenly the floor below everyone else turned into a hole, everyone falling to the level below, save for Gohan, Videl and Raven, the three floating in the air.
"What just happened?" Gohan asked.
"If I had to guess, that guy in the wall opened up the floor," Raven said. "I say he should be our immediate target for now, otherwise he'll continue treating this place like a shapeshifting maze."
"We can't let that happen," Videl said. "I'll go check on them, you two go on ahead to check on Mayday and Mirio. Maybe stop that guy while you're on it."
"You got it, let's go Raven," Gohan said, flying with Raven after the two younger kids as Videl descended to the floor below.
"Hey...where are we?" Kaminari asked.
"Further from the target," Rock Lock said. "Someone's really trying to screw with us!"
"You alright Dashie?" Johnny asked, the hero floating and holding his wife.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Rainbow Dash said, the girl blushing a bit. "Mind putting me down, this is kind of embarrassing."
Logan too helped up his wife, "You hurt?"
"Nothing I can't handle," Fluttershy said.
"Wait, how did you two fall? Don't you have wings?" Rock Lock asked.
"Wings are like muscles, we have to physically use them," Rainbow Dash said, the girl on her feet. "Not like they just fly on command."
"Well now, what have we here?" a voice said, everyone noticing an odd trio. "Looks like some state authorized thugs crashed our party. How strange."
"Someone wants to fight," Laura said, extending her claws. "Alright make this easy for yourselves, tell is where your boss is heading, and maybe I'll leave each of you with both your eyes."
"Hold on," Tamaki said, getting everyone's attention. "The pros should save their strength against Chisaki. These guys just want to slow us down." He readied himself for a fight. "Go on, I can handle them myself."
"Hold it, I don't think I should be leaving you alone," Rina said. "We're both Fat Gum's students, we should work together."
"Or everyone can stay," one man said, holding a katana.
"That's Setsuno," the lead policeman said. "Our guns won't work on him."
"Ah, done your homework huh?" Setsuno asked, ready to strike. "Time to let loose!"
"Lay down your sword!" Aizawa shouted, erasing his quirk, causing him to drop his sword.
Another guy aimed his gun at the group, Leon and the police aiming their own back.
"That guy has power eraser, an inferior version of Eri," the thug said. "I know someone of your quirk is here. But we still have our fists and weapons, so we're not exactly defenseless."
"Bub, I'd like to see you try," Logan said, extending his claws.
"You're not the only ones with weapons," Leon said, still aiming. "Give us a reason and we'll bring you down!"
Suddenly Tamaki grabbed each of them with tentacle arms, "Setsuno's quirk is larceny. Yo Hojo is crystalize. Mitsutabe is food." He threw them against a wall, destroying their weapons in the process. "I read up on them, so I know I can take them, I had plenty of octopus in the agency. Also I've been pretty down on guns since I got shot in the street."
"Still, let us fight with you," Rina said. "If we work together-"
"Rina, I know you want to help, but you're better off with your father and big sister. The pros need to focus more on the job at hand and not let themselves get distracted," Tamaki said. "Please, let me handle this."
Rina looked unsure about leaving Tamaki by himself, but she figured that he needed to prove himself, "Alright...You better not croak in here though."
"Wait we're not seriously leaving a teenager here by himself, are we?" Johnny asked. "This is irresponsible."
"If Suneater says he can handle it, then I have faith in him," Fat Gum said. "Everyone get moving, we got a crook to catch."
"You ain't going nowhere," Setsuno said, trying to grab them but Aizawa used his quirk to stop him, and proceeded to knock out Mitsurabe.
"Amajiki, defeat them before they can really fight back," Aizawa said, leading everyone away.
"Before you go! Rina! Class of 1-A" Tamaki said, getting the students' attention. "Please, watch over Mirio. He's definitely going to try too hard."
"We'll do that man," Kaminari said.
"You got this Suneater, don't let these jackasses get the better of you," Rina encouraged.
One by one the pros began to leave, Johnny being one of the only ones hesitant to do so, "I know he's a third year and practically a pro, but he's still one kid. I know I thought I was invincible at his age but..."
"Johnny," Rainbow Dash said. "Come on."
Reluctantly, Johnny followed his wife out the room, running to catch up to the others. "Was it a good idea to leave him in there?"
"We'll circle back for him in a bit," Rainbow Dash said. "Look, I get that you're worried, but he's technically an adult too. He is eighteen years old after all. By the time either of us were eighteen, we had already fought guys like Chaos, Cell, Doctor Doom and King Sombra."
"Not alone," Johnny said. "We had friends and family helping us each time."
"What will you do then?" Rainbow Dash asked.
Johnny looked back at Tamaki's direction, "You go ahead, I'm gonna standby. I'll let the kid fight on his own but I can't just leave him here without backup. Peter wouldn't do that."
"What about Denki?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"I'd hate to push that onto you, but could you keep an eye on him?" Johnny asked. "Once things are settled with Suneater, I'll be back."
"Sure, you got it," Rainbow Dash said, then gave a quick kiss to Johnny. "For luck, catch you later."
Rainbow Dash sped off, Johnny looking back in Tamaki's direction. "I'll let you have your moment, but I got your back if it's too much."
Meanwhile above, Wesker and Juri are both on their way to the Parker Family Condo, traversing across the rooftops to reach their destination.
"Once we arrive at the Parker homestead, grab the girl and leave," Wesker said. "Try to avoid combat if you can."
"Aw, can't we have a little fun?" Juri asked. "We did come all the way to Japan after all."
"Perhaps it would be boring if we just made a quick escape," Wesker said, turning around to see the oncoming heroes. "Plus, some of our allies should be closing in soon, we can afford a bit of fun."
"There they are," Izuku said from several yards behind. "Looks like they stopped."
"Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" Tsuyu asked.
"You can never tell with Wesker," Peter said. "Be alert."
The heroes stopped before the two villains, cautiously approaching them and ready for almost anything.
"Took you long enough to catch up," Juri taunted. "Aren't heroes supposed to show a higher sense of urgency?"
"Sure, I can urgently pound the hell out of you," Peter said.
"Oh how I'd love nothing more than to be pounded by you, Spider-Man," Juri stated while seductively licking her lips and freaking out the other heroes.
"...Well I walked right into that one," Peter said. "Still, what are you up to? I doubt you stopped just to catch your breath."
"I suppose it was out of boredom," Wesker said. "It would be a shame if we came all this way just to keep our interactions short. So I figured we could take this moment to catch up."
"You know, most people's idea of 'catching up' is maybe through a game of checkers, or splitting the bill at a local pizzeria," Peter said. "But if you prefer kicking the crap out of each other, well then that's on you."
"We both know that this works better for us," Wesker said, taking a quick second to clean his shades. "Tell me first, what is your relationship here with these UA students?"
"Some pretty ladies too, you just love surrounding yourself with boobs," Juri taunted, much to the annoyance of the girls present, especially Twilight. "Surprised you have a boy with you, might get in the way of your newfound harem."
"You know some of these girls are in High School, right?" Peter said.
"Hey, I won't judge your fetish," Juri said.
"Weirdo..." Peter commented. "Look, some of these students are my sidekicks, not too different than the one back in New York."
"Yeah, that whiney kid who acts tough but is nothing more than a punching bag for the real villains," Juri said.
"He can take you in a fight, and you know it," Peter said.
"Miles Morales is a tough boy, with a long way to go before he's a threat to me," Wesker said, then gestured to the UA students. "What about them? What can they do?"
"Aside from dressing like whores," Juri said, gesturing to Momo, the girl suddenly feeling self-conscious.
"Did she just say…?"
"Hey! I'll have you know that Momo is a creative genius," Twilight said, standing up for her sidekick. "And there's nothing wrong with how she's dressed either!"
"Exactly, Momo's got the potential of a future Team Leader," Peter said. "She's got a really strong quirk too, so I wouldn't underestimate her. Actually, go ahead and do so, she'll just prove you wrong."
"Does Spider-Man really believe that about me?" Momo shook her head. "Of course he does, don't doubt yourself Momo. That woman's just a villain trying to get in your head."
"What about that kid?" Juri said, gesturing to Izuku. "That's Izuku Midoriya, the kid that Shigaraki seems to hate."
"Shigaraki?" Peter said. "Come to think of it, you seemed to recognize Izuku before Albert, what's the story with that? Does it have to do with Shigaraki?"
"You mentioned working with All for One as well," Twilight said. "How he was a business partner."
"I suppose I did," Wesker said. "With All for One incarcerated, naturally I would have to work with Shigaraki to further my agendas. So far, it's proving quite difficult. Shigaraki has potential to be a great leader but his youth and inexperience makes the transition hard."
"To me, he just comes across like a whiney brat who has this unexplained hatred for All Might," Juri said. "Like I get that villains naturally don't like heroes but it seems less like things are personal and more like he just hates All Might for the sake of hating him."
"I didn't think villains needed a reason to hate heroes," Ochako said.
"Even us villains have methods to our madness," Wesker said. "For example, someone like Captain America may get in my way, and I may not like that, but I do not actively hate him. I barely hate Peter, the only person I probably hate is my old protégé Chris Redfield."
"Shigaraki also seems to hate you though Spidey, though I suppose you have that affect on a lot of villains," Juri said.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fully aware of my 'Destroy Spider-Man' club," Peter said. "Still, how long have you been working for All for One?"
"For a few years, he has provided great business for my company, S.I.N., along with some prototype Nomu to further create powerful beings," Wesker said. "Years ago, I believed I had created the ultimate lifeform, of course my work has been surpassed since then."
"Technically it got surpassed nearly 70 years ago by Gerald Robotnik," Amy pointed out.
"Oh, Amy Rose, I almost didn't see you there," Wesker said. "Are your friends around?"
"Right now it's only me, but you never know who can show up in the blink of an eye," Amy said.
"I welcome that, more chances to prove our superiority," Wesker said. "But as Amy kindly pointed out, my work to create the Ultimate Lifeform has gotten mixed results. Between the Nemesis monster surpassing my work, being outdone by Doctor Gero and Cell, and even our old friend Shadow the Hedgehog, I suppose I need a bit more work."
"Why are you even concerned with that? Isn't your goal to become a God?" Peter asked.
"Gods create, Peter," Wesker said. "I need to create a superior species of being that will surpass the failure that is mankind, that is why I started on my Uroboros project, one that was ruined thanks to Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine, along with their friends from S.H.I.E.L.D. and the B.S.A.A."
"Come to think of it Spidey, weren't you there too?" Juri asked. "I hear you caught a ride with Black Panther since Wakanda wasn't too far away."
"Who's to say?" Peter said. "Still, no one's going to just let you destroy the world, Albert. Not me, not Jill and definitely not Chris."
"It matters not, with S.I.N. under my control, and my newfound partnership with The Shie Hassaikai and The League of Villains, I may be one step closer to achieving my goal," Wesker said.
"Oh, let me guess," Peter said, adjusting his voice to mock Wesker's, "You want to unleash your plans for Complete...Global...Saturation..."
"Ever the jester, aren't you Peter?" Wesker said. "But I suppose I told you just about everything. Any more questions?"
"How about we wait on the questions until after we get you two into Tartarus prison," Peter said. "Or the Raft, whichever works."
"Very well, I suppose we have a little more time to play with you," Wesker said. "Five minutes to be precise."
"What? Not seven? What a letdown," Peter joked.
"Seven might be too long for your batch of students, honestly they probably couldn't even last three minutes," Wesker said.
"That's what you think," Izuku said, powering up. "Peter, let me fight first."
"Uh, Izuku, glad you're taking initiative but...I'd rather you step aside for this one, Wesker might be too dangerous for you," Peter said.
"I can take him!" Izuku said.
"No, remember what I said before, you can help but you are not fighting beyond your capabilities," Peter said. "Wesker's on a whole different level. I'd rather you stand aside, or better yet go keep Eri safe."
"Better listen to your mentor," Wesker warned. "If you try to fight me, you will die within seconds."
"That's what you think!" Izuku powered up and leapt after Wesker, despite Peter's protests. "One for All, Full Cowling!"
Izuku threw a punch that Wesker swiftly dodged. The villain clenched his fingers into a straight line and attempted to impale Izuku with his raw power.
Peter was quick to pull Izuku out of the way, just before Wesker could finish his Rhino Charge attack.
"Deku!" Ochako ran to help but Juri blocked her path.
"Go home little girl, I'd rather not have to fight a kid but I will if you leave me no choice," Juri warned.
"If you want to fight!" Amy rushed in with her hammer. "Allow me to grant your wish!"
"Looks like the little Rose has reached full bloom," Juri said, leaping over the hammer.
"This Rose has thorns!" Amy shouted, quickly redirecting her hammer to nail Juri, the woman putting her arms up to block in time, sending her flying.
Meanwhile Wesker had gone in on the offensive against Peter, the two striking and blocking, trying to one-up the other.
"Just like the old days, Peter," Wesker said, going for a strike.
"Yeah," Peter hit an uppercut. "Same results too. I win, and you lose!"
Wesker flipped and landed on his feet, rubbing his chin, "As usual, you pack quite a punch."
"You still have a lot of explaining to do regarding your connection to the Hassaikai and Shigaraki's gang," Peter said.
"I suppose you are curious, but it wouldn't be much fun if I told you everything so soon," Wesker said. "This is a good chance for you to work for what you desire."
"Hey I'm fine beating the answers out of you!" Peter rushed in for another attack, but Wesker side stepped and punched Peter in the sides and then kicked him off the roof.
Just as he was about to follow up, he wound up dodging another of Izuku's punches, "My, aren't you eager?"
"I'm not letting you anywhere near Eri!" Izuku said. "None of us are!"
Wesker found himself surrounded by Twilight, Starfire, Ochako, Tsuyu and Momo, each of them ready to strike.
"Oh my, what an unfortunate situation, if only I planned ahead," Wesker sarcastically mused, then grabbed a radio. "Time to make yourselves useful."
"Hey, who are you-?" Twilight questioning was interrupted when she took a kick to the back courtesy of Bison.
"Where did he come from!?" Ochako looked ready to help but Vega had landed before the gravity user, glaring into the girl's eyes through his protective mask.
"My, aren't you a cute little petal?" Vega commented, Ochako looking a bit creeped out by his gaze.
"Who is this!?" Momo asked.
"Momo, watch out!" Tsuyu called, Momo immediately placing up a shield and blocking Balrog's punch.
"Got some nice reflexes there," Balrog commented.
Peter had pulled himself back onto the roof, taking note of the developing situation. "So Shadoloo's here too!?"
"Oh, did I forget to mention that?" Wesker coyly stated. "Guess the excitement of this all just got to me."
"You can be a real smart-mouth when you want to be," Peter said. His senses went off and turned around to catch an oncoming Amy, the girl having been kicked toward his direction courtesy of Juri.
"That rodent is so annoying to fight," Juri said, getting back on the roof.
"You did not just call Amy a 'rodent'," Peter said, looking ready to turn his aggression toward Juri.
"It's fine Peter," Amy said, leaping out of his arms and readying her hammer. "I still got plenty of fight left in me."
"Spider-Man, who are these three villains?" Momo asked.
"Three of Shadoloo's Kings," Peter explained. "Vega, Balrog and General Bison."
Twilight got back on her feet, taking a defensive stance, "Looks like Wesker had some back-up."
"Not surprised, Chun-Li did have a hunch they might be here," Peter said. "Izuku, get the girls out of here! Me, Twilight, Amy and Starfire can handle these goons."
"Wait, there's five of them, you'd be at a disadvantage!" Izuku said.
"Well how about that, the kid knows basic math," Juri said.
"Peter, let me fight with you!" Izuku said. "I'm strong enough to-"
"Izuku, listen to me," Peter said. "Part of being a hero means making sure people are safe. Your skills would be better used to protect Eri than to fight here. I can handle the odds, but I need you to work with me."
Izuku looked conflicted, he felt more useful in a fight, though he couldn't deny what Peter had to say. "Alright."
"Momo! You know where my house is, lead the way!" Peter said.
"Yes sir!" Momo said. "Deku, Uravity, Froppy, with me!"
The students quickly followed Momo, leaving the heroes and villains behind.
"Vega, after them," Bison ordered.
"Yes sir," Vega said, leaping towards the kids.
"Hey! You get the hell away-" Peter's warning was cut off when Wesker kicked him off a roof.
"Focus on the fight, Peter," Wesker said. Twilight tried going in for the attack but Bison was there to block her and blast her back.
Juri and Balrog faced off against Starfire and Amy respectively.
"Kori, you got Juri?" Amy asked.
"She should not be much trouble," Starfire said. "Though I imagine you will have a much easier time with that brute."
"Might provide some decent entertainment," Amy said, throwing some jabs. "Hey big fellow, ready to lose to a girl that's half your size?"
"I'll squash you like a pancake!" Balrog shouted.
"Just try it!" Amy said, rushing in to clash with Balrog while Starfire blasted Juri through some windows.
A block away, Peter was seen dodging Wesker's strikes, going in for a punch to his opponent's stomach at the first opening and then kicking him aside onto a wall.
Peter used his webbing to pull himself in for a kick that sent Wesker through the wall again, then rushed in to deliver some more blows and ended with an uppercut to knock Wesker back outside.
As Peter dashed in to attack again, Wesker spotted an opening, hitting the webbed hero with an uppercut that stumbled him and then delivered a massive punch that sent him back through the building.
The hero stood himself back up, but just as Peter was about to strike again, Wesker seemingly disappeared. With his Spider-Sense going off, Peter immediately blocked an oncoming strike, then delivered a powerful knee to Wesker, sending him flying back outside the building.
Wesker busted himself off, focusing his attention on his rival, "Not bad, still as quick as ever, Peter."
"I'd say the same about you, but my aunt told me to never tell a lie," Peter said.
"Was this before or after you hid your identity for your vigilante missions?" Wesker mused.
"Wow, I cannot get a good quip in with you or your nutty sidekick," Peter said, firing a web that Wesker sidestepped, dashing in to punch Peter across the jaw. Wesker attempted to follow up but Peter had blocked and kicked Wesker against a light pole. "But I can get a few good hits in."
"See how long that lasts," Wesker said, glaring intently at Peter as he dashed in for more.
In the air, Twilight is sending beams at Bison, the Shadoloo leader avoiding them and flying for a blow that Twilight blocked with her magic.
"How long have you been in Japan?" Twilight asked.
"Long enough to get some good deals going," Bison said, sending another strike that Twilight blocked.
"Are you associated with Shigaraki as well?" Twilight asked, going for a blast that Bison parried.
"You're a smart girl, you can figure that out," Bison said, kicking Twilight back and reving up his power. "PSYCHO CRUSHER!"
Twilight placed up her forcefield to block the incoming strike and sent a blast that knocked Bison through some buildings.
"What a pain," Twilight said, about to turn away. "I doubt I'll get a lot of information out of him anyway, the best thing to do is make sure those kids get to Eri."
"Don't leave so soon!" Bison shouted, flying in and striking Twilight hard with a punch. She tried to fight back but he disappeared and reappeared overhead, stomping on Twilight and sending her straight down.
"What a pain..." Twilight said, lifting herself up and then found Starfire knocked to her location. "Kori!"
"Do not worry, this fight is not something I cannot handle," Starfire said, getting back into a fighting position.
"Good, because I'm just getting warmed up," Juri said, the woman sensually walking over. "Though I wouldn't mind swapping with Bison, and get some personal time with the Princess here."
"She is such a creep," Twilight said, readying her magic. "I'd be more than happy to knock her down a peg."
"Excuse me, but I do believe you are my opponent," Bison said, lowering down. "Juri, go back to your own playmate."
"You're not the boss of me," Juri said.
"Always so defiant, aren't you?" Bison asked. "Didn't your parents teach you any manners?"
"Well considering they're dead because of you, no," Juri said.
"Oh right, women seem to hate when you kill their parents," Bison said. "Personally I don't see the big deal, I killed my parents as well, never seemed like a big deal to me."
"You're such a lunatic," Juri said.
"You're one to talk," Bison said. "Now be a good girl and-"
Twilight suddenly blasted Bison, while Starfire blasted Juri, both girls gaining a temporary advantage.
"Twilight, if you are worried about your students, go to them," Starfire said. "I will fight these two alone."
"I can't leave you alone with them," Twilight said. "Bison's dangerous enough on his own."
"I can handle it, protect your students and that young girl," Starfire said, blasting both. "Go, now!"
Reluctant as she was, Twilight had to fly off to prevent danger from befalling her students. Granted this didn't go unnoticed by Wesker.
"Trying to escape dear?" Wesker attempted to leap at Twilight but Peter webbed him and slammed him back down.
"Hey don't leave yet, fun's just getting started!" Peter said.
Wesker pulled out his Samuai Edge handgun and fired at Peter, the hero dodging with no difficulty. This did distract Peter long enough for Wesker to rush over to a car, and flung it at Peter, the hero again reacting instantaneously by grabbing the car and setting it down.
It was here that Wesker took the moment to run in and kick Peter away before trying to again focus on Twilight, "Now's my-"
The villain got knocked over when Balrog went flying into him, courtesy of Amy.
"Neither of you are going anywhere!" Amy said, marching over with her hammer.
Balrog stood up, the boxer looking very annoyed, "How is she beating me? She's just a little girl!?"
"You know I'm almost thirty, right?" Amy asked.
"Still don't look a day over eighteen," Peter said.
"Aw, you're sweet," Amy said, then focused her fury back on Balrog. "Regardless, you're right about one thing. I am beating you."
"Not for long!" Balrog rushed in for a punch that Amy easily side-stepped, then delivered a strong punch to his sides.
She reeled back and delivered a flurry of blows to his stomach, ending with a jumping uppercut that sent the brute flying up and landing in a dumpster. She dusted her hands off, "I'll play with you some other time."
"Nice work Amy," Peter said, turning to face his own opponent. "As for you, Albert-"
Wesker then punched Peter against a car, then readied another strike. "I'm done with you."
"Back off, creep!" Amy shouted, running in and slamming her hammer to Wesker's sides. "Peter! Now might be a good time to go find Izuku and the girls. I can handle Wesker.
"Sure, just be careful," Peter said, immediately swinging off.
Wesker stood up, dusting himself off, "You made a terrible mistake, little girl."
"I told you, I'm not a little girl!" Amy shouted, running in to attack yet again.
Meanwhile with Izuku, as he and the girls went to the Parker Family condo, he looked behind to find something troubling. "We're being followed. It's that guy with the claws."
Indeed Vega was closing in, getting close to the students, his eyes locked right at them, "You won't be getting away from me."
"Should we engage him?" Momo asked.
"I'll stay behind, you girls go check on Eri," Izuku said, turning to make a stop.
"Is that a good idea?" Ochako asked.
"I can handle him," Izuku said. "Hurry and go!"
"If things get bad, retreat," Momo ordered. "Come on girls."
Reluctantly, Ochako and Tsuyu left Izuku behind as Vega came to a stop right before him.
"Playing the hero, little man?" Vega asked.
"I don't play hero, I AM a hero!" Izuku said, getting into a stance. "I'm not letting you get any further than this spot."
"Confident, aren't you?" Vega asked, crossing his arms. "I respect that in another. So long as you can back it up."
"One for All...Full Cowling!" Izuku began to charge up, generating some electricity around him.
"How fun, it looks like you are taking this seriously," Vega said, adjusting his mask to keep it sturdy as he got into a fighting stance of his own. "Very well then, show me!"
Izuku rushed in for a kick that Vega barely dodged, but could not dodge the second kick that sent Vega onto the roof across the block. Izuku leapt and his another kick that Vega managed to block, but the impact still skidded him back.
"So far so good, he probably isn't that strong," Izuku kept a defensive stance. "Still, he could be hiding some tricks."
"You're a fast one, I can see why Shigaraki considers you a threat," Vega said.
"Where is Shgaraki? And what is he planning?" Izuku asked.
"Hard to say, he's not a very talkative guy," Vega said. "Personally I can't stand being in the same room as him. He is hideous to look at. Most of those freaks are, I loathe the idea of having to be around them."
"He's a bit vain," Izuku noted. "Why does Shadoloo want to work with The League and the Hassaikai anyway?"
"I am not here to answer questions, I'm here to ensure that you do not get in my way," Vega said. "Unfortunately, that means our fight time must be limited. I can't let those girls beat me to the Parker Family home."
"You'd need to get past me then!" Izuku said, jumping in for a punch that Vega managed to sidestep and then used his claws on Izuku's sides, then kicked him against a vent.
Vega leapt to the other roof, lifting his mask off, and licking the blood off his claws, "You're fast, but too much speed can work against you."
"I won't let you escape!" Izuku jumped over to bring down a punch but Vega leapt away, focusing his attention ahead of him.
"Much apologies, but business comes first!" Vega said, making a mad dash after the girls.
"Oh no you don't!" Izuku shouted, running after Vega.
At the Parker Sparkle home, Eri is seen sitting on the bed in her designated room with Benjy right next to her. He could tell she was worried, especially given the big mission that both of his parents were part of.
"So...um...wanna play with my toys?" Benjy asked.
"Not right now," Eri said.
"How about a movie?" Benjy asked. "Your pick."
"No thanks..." Eri said.
Benjy looked around, trying to think of any other ideas. "How about I ask Aunt Peni to take us to the park."
"...Too many people," Eri said. "I'll wait for Peter and Twilight."
"Look, if you're worried about my parents, then don't be, they're really strong," Benjy said. "They've been doing this forever, long before either of us were born. So stop worrying and try having fun."
"I don't know how to have fun," Eri said. "The bad people who had me never wanted me to play, they just wanted my power."
"Man, sounds like a bunch of jerks," Benjy said. "No wonder my parents hate them. But wait, didn't dad give you a new toy?"
"Yeah..." Eri said, leaping off the bed to grab it. "Gung Ho Glitter Squad."
"You had toys like that, didn't you?" Benjy asked.
"I did...and they look pretty, but I don't know how to play with them," Eri said.
"I can show you," Benjy said. "Granted that stuff is too girly for me, so I can't help that much, but I have some ideas. Let's go with my Plan A, we'll play with some toys and get your mind off of things. Dad got you that because he wants you to be happy, the least you can do is try to have fun with it."
"Yeah...he seemed so happy to give it to me," Eri said, recalling the previous night.
Peter had shown up and presented the toy to Eri. The smile on his face and the joy in his eyes from the fact that he was doing something nice for her tugged at her heart. He didn't give her that toy because he had to, or because he was threatened to by anyone in a miniscule attempt to keep her happy.
He gave her that toy because he wanted to, more than anything he wanted her to be happy. It was a lot for Eri, emotions overwhelming.
Benjy noticed that she had a tear in her eye, the boy freaking out a bit. "Oh crud! Did I do or say something to upset you? If so, I'm really sorry, please don't tell Aunt Peni. She's scary when she's mad!" Benjy took a moment to think. "Well she's not as scary as mom can be, or Mayday, but she's definitely scary."
"It's not you," Eri said. "I'm just really happy I met Peter. He's nice to me, no one's been as nice to me as he has. Aside from Deku."
"Deku? You mean that boy with the green hair?" Benjy asked. "The one Mayday said was her boyfriend but probably made it all up?"
"Yeah...he's nice too," Eri said. "So is Mayday, she's says I'm like a little sister to her. And Mirio, he called me a little Peach."
"It's fitting for you," Benjy said. "I don't know why he keeps saying 'Peach', or why Uncle Johnny was laughing at it, but my guess is that you're as sweet as a peach, which I agree with. You're my little Peach too, Eri."
"Uh, thanks..." Eri said. "You're a really nice boy."
"Yeah, I am," Benjy said. "So...wanna kiss?"
"BENJY!" Came Peni's voice from down the hall.
"Did she hear that?" Benjy wondered, then looked around to see if his aunt bugged the room. "Uh...whatever you heard, I was just kidding!" There was no more talk, leaving Benjy to wonder what was going on. "Did I just imagine her voice?"
"Uh, Benjy?" Eri asked. "Are you alright?"
"Uh yeah, sure!" Benjy turned back to the girl. "Never mind the kiss thing. Look let's just play a game or something. If you're gonna have parents that are heroes, you need to cope with it in some form. I know it can be scary, I get worried too. But I also know my parents can handle anything. You need to have that same faith."
"Okay..." Eri said, then felt her hand taken by Benjy's.
"No one's taking you away from us, dad won't let it happen, mom won't, Mayday won't, Aunt Peni won't and I certainly won't," Benjy said, then flexed his arm. "They'd have to get through me to hurt my precious little Peach."
"Uh...thank you," Eri said, the girl blushing a bit. "Everyone's so nice. I hope no one gets hurt because of me."
"Also you gotta remember, you have friends too," Benjy said. "My girls, Pan, Bulla and Mar'i, they're gonna keep you safe as well. And as the newest member of my harem, I'm keeping you safe too."
"What is a harem anyway?" Eri wondered, then noticed something kind of worrying. "Uh, Benjy...Look behind you."
"Hm?" Benjy turned around and found himself under Peni's glare. "Uh...Hi?" Peni lifted the boy up, holding him by one arm and pulling his pants down, exposing his underwear to Eri as the girl awkwardly looked away. "No! Not again!"
Eri cringed as sounds of whacking occurred, looking again as Peni placed an annoyed Benjy down.
"Next time your underwear goes down too, mind what you say around Eri," Peni said, then focused on Eri. "Sorry you had to see that. Sometimes Benjy just needs a little spanking."
"Mayday never got spanked," Benjy lamented.
"She did, only by Twilight though," Peni said. "Peter couldn't because he's too big of a softie to discipline his little girl."
"Is that gonna happen to me too?" Eri asked.
"Uh..." Peni had to think carefully. "Given that she was mistreated by Chisaki and his gang for so long, I don't think physical discipline is a good idea, then again a little spanking is not the worst thing in the world." She focused back on Eri, "Just behave yourself. We all love and care about you Eri, but regardless of how tough your life has been, that's no excuse to misbehave. If you do, we will have to punish you, not because we want to hurt you, but because we want you to grow up to be a well-mannered woman. Tough love is a part of being a parent."
"Alright, I won't misbehave then, that's a promise," Eri said.
"Just do your best," Peni said, rubbing her head. "You don't have to be perfect, it's okay if you make a mistake once in a while. But know that even if we ever get mad at you for some reason, we still love you, alright kiddo?"
"Okay Peni," Eri said.
"Can you call me 'Aunt Peni'?" the girl asked. "Or Obasan."
"Uh, yes, Aunt Peni," Eri said. "Peni obasan."
"Cute in both languages," Peni said. "That reminds me, later you and I are going to go over English, and a bit more of Japanese grammar."
"Okay," Eri said.
"I'll be off now," Eri focused her attention on Benjy. "You, behave. Remember what I said if I have to come back in here!"
"Yes Aunt Peni," Benjy lamented.
"Remember Benjy, you have a responsibility to make Eri feel at home, and you know how seriously your father takes responsibility seriously," Peni said.
"I know," Benjy said. I'll do better."
"Please don't let us down, okay Benjy?" Peni said, kissing his head. "Aishiteimasu, watashi no oi."
"Yeah, love you too," Benjy said as Peni left the room.
"Huh...first she spanks you, then she tells you she loves you," Eri said. "So, it really is tough love?"
"Yeah...I mean I still think she overreacted with the spanking but whatever," Benjy said. "Point is that even when our parents get mad, they still love us. Aunt Peni isn't our parent but she will act like one if she needs to. I still wonder how she heard me."
"I don't know either," Eri said. "Well, can we try playing then?"
"Totally, I'll get my superhero action figures," Benjy said. "I actually know some of them too, our family is really close with Iron Man."
"What about this one?" Eri asked, picking up an action figure of All Might. "Deku really likes this one."
"That's All Might, one of the greatest superheroes in the world," Benjy said. "Before he retired at least."
"Retired?" Eri asked.
"I don't remember the full story, I just remember he beat up a bad guy," Benjy said. "One that really hurt my parents, but I don't need to tell Eri that right now. If I did, she'd just be scared."
"Who's your favorite hero?" Eri asked. "Aside from your parents."
"I...don't know, they're all kind of cool," Benjy said. "Like Doctor Strange, he's one of my mom's mentors, he knows all types of neat magic tricks. One day, I'm gonna be just like him."
"Really?" Eri asked.
"Yeah, I'll tell you everything I know, just let me get my toys," Benjy said, taking his leave.
Eri looked at the All Might action figure, "He kind of looks like Mirio. Maybe this is his dad? I bet Mayday knows."
Meanwhile with Tamaki, despite his efforts, he had struggles against the trio he was up against. His octopus arms were eaten by Mitsurabe, the remaining amount stolen by Setsuno as Yo Hoji used his crystals to pin him against a wall.
"We may be a bunch of trash, but that doesn't mean we don't have strong bonds," Yo Hoji said.
"Bonds or no, you'll just be arrested soon," Tamaki said. "You'll have no futures at this rate."
"Like that matters," Setsuno said, using his quirk to steal some stuff Tamaki had. "We've never had much of a future."
"One of us didn't fit in society," Yo Hoji said. "Another one of us was betrayed by his lover and found himself wallowed in dept. One was treated like a tool for money, but when his crystals were proven useless, he was beaten to an inch of his life. That's why he saved us. He gave us worth, and I will kill anyone who gets in his way!"
"It's not fear that guides them, they're being brainwashed," Tamaki noted. "You're still going to just be used up and thrown away!"
"Even with your back against the wall, you just can't quit, can you hero!?" Yo Hoji shouted, ready to deal the final blow.
Johnny was still observing from the outside, mentally debating on stopping the fight, "He's gonna die if I don't do something. Sorry kid, I want you to feel confident but that won't mean much if you're dead!"
Before could go in, Tamaki had kicked a crystal in Setsuno's eyes, "Larceny only works on things he can see!" Just as Hoji was about to strike, he saw that Tamki's chest had crystalized. "Wait...did you eat my crystals!?"
"When you weren't looking!" Tamaki said, crystalizing his foot and kicking all of them at once, pinning them against the wall.
"Holy crap..." Johnny noted. "Wow, that kid's got talent. Makes sense that he's practically a pro."
"I don't know what your exact circumstances are, but I can tell you've got a strong bond with each other," Tamaki said. "I can relate."
He heard some slow clapping as Johnny entered the room, "Awesome work kid. You really pulled through."
"Human Torch?" Tamaki asked. "What are you doing here? You should be with the other pros."
"They got a lot of firepower, they can spare to leave a torch behind," Johnny joked. "Plus I couldn't leave you here to die."
"So, you were there the whole time?" Tamaki asked.
"Yeah, sorry if I didn't help but you seemed hellbent on wanting to do this on your own," Johnny said. "I figured I'd let you try, but I would have totally stepped in if I thought you were gonna die. Actually I nearly did, until you pulled that Hail Mary move right at the end. You did awesome."
Tamaki suddenly felt a bit overwhelmed, the boy shyly looking down, "So kind, I didn't think even you could be so cruel, Human Torch."
"...Eh?" Johnny scratched his head. "Right, you're not good at accepting compliments. It's always been weird to me, I mean if someone's complimenting you, it means that person likes or respects you."
"I'm not worthy of your respect, I still have a long way to go," Tamaki said.
"Uh...wow..." Johnny awkwardly scratched his head. "What would Peter say at a time like this?" He focused back on Tamaki, "So...question. Is there a reason you're like this? Like, I understand humility, but it's not good to beat yourself up. I've seen it happen to Spider-Man too, he's still responsible to a fault."
"It's nothing...let's just meet up with the others," Tamaki said. He turned to leave but stumbled a bit.
"Whoa, easy there bro," Johnny said. "You kicked ass in there, but you took a beating yourself. Take it slow."
"Sure..." Tamaki said, trying to slow down. "But I can't wait too long, I'm worried about Mirio."
"You mean the blonde kid that works with Nighteye?" Johnny asked. "He a buddy of yours?"
"We've known each other since we were kids, he's the reason I got my hero name," Tamaki said. "He told me that I have a light that can swallow the sun."
"I suppose that's why you're Suneater and not Food Man," Johnny said.
"He's always so positive, even when he messes up, he does it with a smile," Tamaki said. "He's my opposite in every way. I worry too much about messing up."
"Well sometimes opposites attract," Johnny said. "It works too, he helps you feel confident and you...well I guess you help him be careful."
"He tells me that I inspire him," Tamaki said. "He tells me that I am a very hard worker, and he wants to be the same. He tells me I underestimate myself while I overestimate him, and always believed I can be better, and that's why he wants to get better."
"Sounds like a true bro, a good friend is a blessing," Johnny said.
"Spider-Man is your friend, right?" Tamaki asked. "You've been friends since childhood."
"Yeah, and it has not always been easy," Johnny said. "For as much as Peter was my bro, he was also like a rival. It's a bit complicated to explain in a few words."
"Could you tell me?" Tamaki asked. "Might be a good way to pass the time."
"Sure, I'll give you a rundown, then we go and find Chisaki," Johnny said. "Now, it started when we were kids..."
