Outside a clothes store
Midoriya's pov
We went to a clothes store so when we go to save Kota, no one will recognize us. I exit the changing room wearing a blue suit, purple undershirt, a necklace, and fake chin hair. "Yo, fool! What you looking at?!" I yell with a gangster voice. Todoroki is wearing a suit with a black hair wig. "I look ridiculous." Todoroki says.
As for Iida, he is wearing an Italian outfit with a fake mustache. "I feel ridiculous." Iida says. Kirishima is wearing a punk rock outfit with fake horns. "I kinda dig this look." Kirishima says as he looks at himself in the mirror. Finally for Yaoyorozu, she is wearing a purple dress and has restyled her hair. "Now we'll blend in perfectly." Yaoyorozu says.
While exiting the store, I start to practice talking like a gangster. "Watch it you punks! Get lost!" I say. "That's all wrong. You gotta stick your chin out more." Kirishima says. "You talking to me?!" I say, sticking my chin out more. "That's it!" Kirishima says. "We're just a few scoundrels cruising for hot girls!" Iida yells. "Close enough." Kirishima gives Iida a thumbs up
"These are great disguises. We stuck out more if we were dressed as kids." Yaoyorozu, couldn't you have used your quirk for this to save money?" Todoroki asks. "Well, technically, but that's against the rules. If I started making everything, think of the impact on the economy. We must ensure the flow…" Yaoyorozu drags on as we stop listening. She just wanted to shop. Like all women.
We begin to walk as people start to stop and look at the news broadcast. Curious, we look up and see our teachers. "We're here to apologize. A recent incident allowed the harm to come to 27 first year heroes. And we staff were ill prepared." Aizawa says as he, Vlad King, and Nezu stand in front of the news.
"We take any responsibility for any trauma caused by negligence. It's our duty to train heroes, but also to protect heroes in training." Aizawa says. Something's wrong. Aizawa hates being on TV. "I'll take the first question." A news reporter says. "Since the beginning of the year, UA students have had four encounters with villains. This time there were students who were gravely injured. How do you explain this to their families?" The reporter asks.
The media should know UA's basic position now since they didn't cancel the Sports Festival. They just want him to look bad. "They're treating them like villains." I say out loud. "We will increase patrols on the school grounds and review security measures within the school. The safety of UA's students is our main priority, make no mistake about that." Nezu explains as the crowd around us starts to criticize the heroes.
The mood is changing. The people are starting to turn against heroes. Unless we do something, it's only going to get worse.
Inside the Nomu Factory
Kota's pov
"I'm so cold." I say to myself. That monster took me to a dark room and put me in a cage. I haven't eaten for a day or drank water. When is someone going to save me? I don't want to die here. I start to tear up. I want to see Auntie one last time. Please someone, anyone,—
"Good afternoon, have you been a good boy?" I hear a creepy voice behind me. I turn to see Royal Ripper standing outside my cage. "Let's go." He orders me. "Where?" I ask. "We're going to my room. I'm going to make you my plaything." Royal Ripper says with a psychotic tone.
"N…No! Someone save me!" I yell as Royal Ripper wraps his arms around me and drags me out of the cage. "You know, I didn't want to tell you this, but…the heroes are only after the League. They're hoping that they can bring them down for good. Which is why they're attacking the League's bar first." Royal Ripper says. No…that can't be true. "In a way you could say, the heroes don't really care about you. You're just a bonus point." Royal Ripper says, putting his blade against my neck.
No one's pov
Within the Nomu Factory, a group of five monsters travel to the first floor to investigate a sudden disturbance. When they arrive, they are greeted by a giant hole in the wall. "Who the hell did this?" One monster asks. "I don't know. Maybe it's the heroes." Another monster asks. "No, it's too early. Someone must've—" The leader of the group is unable to finish his sentence when a mysterious figure drops from the roof and lands on the monster, squishing his head in the process.
"What the?!" The other monsters are now alert to the intruder, but it proves to be futile. The stranger dashes at them and rips the monsters to pieces with ease, sending guts and blood all over the room. Only one monster is left. "Uh…uh…." The monster is scared and is desperately looking for a way out.
Suddenly, the stranger dashes at the monster and grabs him by the neck. "Where is Royal Ripper?" The stranger demands while choking the monster. The monster looks at him closely and sees that his attacker is Garou, the Hero Hunter. "I won't ask again." Garou threatens the monster. "Urg…He's in his room!" The monster answers. "Where's his room?" Garou asks. "On the second floor below the building!" The monster answers. "Thanks." Garou smiles cruelly as he crushes the monster's throat, killing it. Dropping the body, Garou now makes his way to rooms under the building to find Kota. And hopefully, find All for One and bring him down for good.
Kota's pov
"AAAAAHHHHH!" I scream as Royal Riper gets close to me. "Hehehe, Your reaction is so adorable." Royal Ripper says as drags his blade across my cheek, leaving a cut on it. "Why…Why are you doing this?" Kota asks, scared. "Why, you ask…because I'm a monster. I had no interest in this upcoming battle whatsoever." Royal Ripper says.
"Even if we reclaim this world again, I'll be fine as long as I get to unleash my urge to rip things apart." Royal Ripper says. "My only goal is slaughtering everyone I see. Right now, I just can't wait to cut your eyes out of your skull." Royal Ripper says with a crazed look. "Someone…", "Now, let's begin!" Royal Ripper yells. "…SAVE ME!" I scream out.
Suddenly, the wall blows open as I see a figure running through it. The dust clears and reveals, "Garou?" I say. "YOU!" Royal Ripper yells as he swings his blades at Garou. However, grabs the blade and breaks it. He then uses a new fighting style to punch Royal Ripper's head off just before his body is cut into pieces.
"And stay dead this time." Garou says to Royal Ripper's body, or what's left of it. "Now let's get you out here you turd—" I cut Garou off by hugging him, tight "Thank you…Thank you so much…I…thought I was going to die." I say crying. I then feel Garou slowly wrap his arms around me. "You're okay Kota. You're okay." Garou says.
We break the hug and I notice blood on my hands. Where did this… "Oh my God! You're bleeding!" I yell, pointing to one of Royal Ripper's blades that is stuck in his stomach. "Oh. Didn't even notice." Garou says, pulling the blade out of his stomach and, somehow, it heals in seconds. "How did you do that?" I ask. "Not important. Right now, let's get you outta here." Garou says, tearing off a piece of his shirt and handing me it. "You're bleeding on your cheek. It'll help stop the bleeding." Garou says as I nod and use the fabric to stop the bleeding.
Garou's pov
Poor kid went through a lot. I only managed to find him because of the screaming. And at least I got to use Fist of Whirling Wind Slashing Steel for the first time on Royal Ripper. I picked it up from watching Bomb fight me at my shack.
I kick the door open as Kota wraps the fabric around his cheek. "If you get caught again you're finished, better remember that." I say. "Garou, how do you know where to go?" Kota asks. "I memorized the hallways while looking for you." I answer. "How can you memorize this much?" Kota asks. "I just have a good memory." I answer. "Humans!" I hear a voice yell. I turn to see two monsters behind me. I thought this place would be crawling with villains, not monsters. "He must be the intruder. Kill him!" The other monster yells. "This is our chance to impress the Master!" The first monster yells as they dash at me.
"Wait, he looks like—" The second monster doesn't finish his sentence as I use Fist of Whirling Wind Slashing Steel on both of them and slice them to pieces. "Tsk, Fodder." I say. Suddenly, my stomach growls. Damn, didn't eat before arriving. I look at the monster's remains and somehow its arm looks…appetizing. "Ah fuck it." I say, grabbing the arm and eating it. "What…What are you eating? You could get an upset stomach from that." Kota says.
"I just need to replenish my energy, so anything will do. Can't worry about this stuff from now on." I say, throwing the bone away. "Let's move. I'll get you out of here, then I'm going to finish some business here." I say as I start to run with Kota behind me. "Do you think it's a good idea to stay here? I mean you're covered in wounds and you're probably tired. Maybe if we find a safe place you could rest." Kota suggests. "I can't. The heroes will be here soon and the freak running this place probably already knows I'm here." I say.
"But right now, I'll be the least of their problems. The heroes will be here soon, causing a distraction and giving me time to find All for One and put him and the League down for good." I say. "But what if All Might shows up? You could be hurt!" Kota says. I stop running to talk to him. "Look, stop worrying about me. I don't need anyone's sympathy. And you shouldn't be worrying about someone like me." I say with my back turned.
"I'm a monster, not a…hero…" I trail off when I turn around and look behind Kota. "What… the hell…is that thing?" I say. "Huh? What are you—", "Don't turn around, dumbass. Walk to me very slowly." I tell him. The reason being that there's a massive monster dog right behind him. "Just walk to me…nice and slow. One step at a time." I say as Kota walks to me. He then turns around and sees the monster. "W…What do we do?" Kota whispers in fear. "I don't know." I answer
At the League of Villains bar
Shigaraki's pov
"Isn't that strange?" I ask as I turn off the TV. "The heroes are becoming the bad guys. Seems like they're not dealing with this very well at all." I say as I turn to the others. "So much criticism. But everyone makes a mistake or two, right?"I ask the others. "You could say that again." Dabi says as he rubs his burns. "Once a hero receives payment to protect people, they aren't a real hero anymore. That's what Stain's actions taught me." Spinner says.
"Hate to interrupt, but what are we gonna do now?" Twice asks. "We're waiting for the heroes to make the first move, but that's proving to be difficult." I answer. "How so?" Toga asks. "The heroes are using this broadcast to prevent the media from finding out their true plan. Probably to prevent us from getting the upper hand." Kurogiri explains.
"Exactly. Which is why we will wait for them to slip up then attack." I say. "That seems risky." Magne says. "Don't be scared. They won't stand a chance." I say. Even if they do attack, we have our new enhanced Nomu at the ready. They've been enhanced thanks to those monster cells we received from Gyoro Gyoro. The heroes won't last a second with—, "Hello? I got a pizza delivery here." A sudden voice says as The League and I turn to stare at Twice.
"What?" Twice asks. "I've told you once. I've told you twice. I've told a thousand times! STOP USING THE BAR'S ADDRESS TO ORDER PIZZA!" I scream in his face. This is the fourth time already. "I didn't order pizza this time!" Twice yells. "If you didn't, then who—",
BOOM!
"SMASH!" All Might screams as he breaks through the wall and knocks Spinner into the other wall. "What the?!" Dabi yells. "Kurogiri! Gate!" I yell as Kurogiri begins to expand. "Pre-emptive Binding Lacquered Chain Prison!" Kamui Woods yells his move as shows up behind All Might and captures us with his wooden limbs. "Heh? That's it?" Dabi says as tries to burn the wood, but a yellow blur comes out of nowhere and knocks Dabi out.
"Don't do anything foolish! It's in your best interest to cooperate with us." Gran Torino says, revealing himself to be the yellow blur. "Just what I'd expect from a competent new hero. And a veteran pro who moves faster than the eye can see." All Might complements the other heroes. You can't run anymore, Villains. Understand? Because we are here now!" All Might yells.
"I didn't think they would find us that quick!" Compress says. "Tree man! You're hugging me too tight! Harder!" Twice yells. "One tends to neglect defense. But we didn't come alone." Edgeshot says as he opens the door to reveal a butt load of police. "You're surrounded with no way to escape." Edgeshot says.
Nonono! Not like this! After I went through all the trouble for all of this, the final boss shows up on my doorstep. Everyone has been restrained. There's no easy way to escape. It can't be helped. So, they've got backup. Well, we do, too. "Kurogiri, warp over as many as you can!" I order Kurogiri, but nothing happens. "What are you waiting for dammit!" I ask
"I'm sorry, Tomura. I can't seem to warp them. Someone is preventing me from warping them!" Kurogiri says. "Enough. Your game has come to an end, Tomura Shigaraki." All Might says with his stupid smile. "You think it's over? Don't be stupid. I've only just begun." I say as I get up. "Justice. Peace. You created a garbage society by lifting up such ridiculous ideals. That's why I targeted you, All Might. That's why I started gathering people to my cause. You think this is the end? Then you've lost." I say as I glare at him.
"Kurogiri—" I am cut off as a red string pierces Kurogiri. "What just happened?! Did they kill him?!" Magne questions. "I played around with his insides and made him fall unconscious. He was such a nuisance. He had to sleep." Edgeshot says revealing himself as the string. "Weren't you listening earlier? You'll be better of if you take us seriously. Kenji Hikiishi. Atsuhiro Sako. Shuichi Iguchi. Himiko Toga. Jin Bubaigawara." Gran Torino names off Magne, Compress, Spinner, Toga, and Twice.
"So, Shigaraki, where's your boss hiding?" Gran Torino asks. "No. This is not over. Just you wait. The game is still mine." I say, ignoring the question. "You'll tell us where he is right now." All Might says. "Go away. Disappear." I say. "Tsk! Shigaraki!" All Might yells. "This is your fault. I hate you!" I yell as black sludge appears behind me.
Two Nomu exit the sludge, but they are the enhanced ones made from the monster cells. Nomu?! How did they get here?!" Kamui Woods yells as more Nomu appear. "Kamui, don't let them—"
RUMBLE!
A massive earthquake cuts All Might off as buildings begin to fall. What is this?! These aren't normal. Someone is fighting something underground. Suddenly, black sludge comes out of my mouth and the others. What the hell is going on?!
All Might's pov
After recovering from the earthquake, the League are teleported away by some kind of black sludge. I look outside to see more Nomu attacking the police. "Tsukauchi, Evacuate now!" Endeavor yells as he burns a Nomu to ash. But, the Nomu reassembles itself back together and smiles gleefully. These Nomu are different. They're more…monstrous!
A Nomu attacks me, but I punch it in the chest, full force. But, it tanks the attack and tries to slash its claws at me, but I manage to dodge. "What now, Toshinori?!" Gran Torino asks. "They shouldn't have been able to warp Nomu here. And they're different. They're much stronger." I say. I fear that He has made a move.
Suddenly, a beam of energy cuts through the streets from a distance. What the?! Something is going on underground right now. Looking at it, it seems to be coming from that building. "Something's wrong in that area." I say. "Then go! We'll hold them off!" Gran Torino yells. I hesitate, but I jump off to the area.
Upon arriving, another earthquake happens again. "What is going on?" I ask myself. "It seems my asset's pet found a new toy." I hear a voice say. That voice. It's him. I turn around and see All for One and his League behind him, coughing up the black sludge from earlier. "All for One!" I yell. "It's been a long time. Hasn't it?" All for One taunts me. "Your reign of terror ends here." I say as I get ready to fight. "Master, you can't fight. Your body is too injured." Shigaraki says.
"I appreciate the concern, but I am more than prepared to deal with him." All for One says. I won't let you get away this time. I will end your reign. Like I did years ago. I dash at him as we begin our fight.
(Note: I bet you all have a lot of questions. Don't worry. You'll find out about the earthquakes next chapter. Also, To Monster King, to answer your question about the ship. The answer is...no. Why? All I'm going to say is that Mandalay is 31 to 32 and Garou is 18. So, you see why that isn't the ship.)
