Chapter Twenty-Four
The USJ Incident
"Okay, so show me what you two have done over the night," Lily asked as the trio was standing in front of Lily's home. Mina took a step forward and placed her hands together as if she was meditating before having four arms appear from her body along with azure-colored flames coating her six hands. Lily blinked upon seeing this as she whistled in astonishment. "Damn, that's impressive."
"I know right? Still don't know how to make clones appear from out of my body, but I can manage to make the hands appear like this." She said before making the hands vanish. She soon did the same thing again, only this time made a golden spear appear behind her. "I can also make Kama's weapon appear just like that."
"Very impressive," Lily said before looking at Mineta. "What about you little bro, what did you improve on?" She asked as Mineta smirked and took a step back from the two girls. With a snap of his fingers, his outfit changed from his normal student uniform to his servant gear which consisted of a long black sleeve shirt with magic circuit lines appearing on his arms and chest, baggy pants, a lion skin cloth wrapped around his waist, and leather boots. He soon reached for one of his balls from off his head and morphed it into a club.
"Thanks to Artemis, I'm able to morph my balls into weapons. Though it's mostly just clubs and swords. I even got the hang of seeing into my class attire as you and Mina can."
"Okay, that's impressive. Just remember that we still have a long way to go, so don't get overconfident in your abilities. Next, we're going to work on unlocking your noble phantasms." Lily said as Mina and Mineta tilted their heads. "Your trump card for when you have to fight against a powerful opponent…it's like a super move in a way."
"We're going to work on our ultimate moves!?" Mina asked in excitement.
"Sweet! That means we'll be able to shoot lasers like you did Lily?" Mineta asked as Lily shook her head.
"Not all servants have the same noble phantasms. They can take the form of either an ability involving magic, a weapon, or an item. Some can be used for offense, defense, and even support to help boost their physical abilities or their allies."
"How many noble phantasms does a servant have?" Mina asked.
"It depends on the servant. Some can have only one, while others have three. For me, I have four. Though I can only use three." She said before raising a hand forward as four weapons appeared in front of Mina and Mineta. "Excalibur, The Sword of Promised Victory. Carnwennan, White Hilt of Penumbral Dagger. Avalon, The Everdistant Utopia. Rhongomyniad, The Lance that Shines to the Ends of the World."
"Weird, I kind of imagine them being shiny and sparkly. But they look dark and ominous." Mineta said as he eyed the weapons from left to right. "How come they look like that?"
"They were shining like the sun, but over time they began to turn dark. Not that I'm complaining so long as I can still use them."
"I've only seen you use two of them, how come you don't use the others?" Mineta asked.
"The dagger used as a kid when I was living on the streets, though I do use it from time to time, it's not needed seeing how I'm not fighting against a magic user…which was…never. With Rhongomyniad, I can use it to fight, but using its noble phantasm…I'm not at that level yet. Plus I keep my abilities hidden as best as possible. You don't want your enemies to know a lot about you so they can figure out ways to defeat you."
"That's fair-" Before Mineta could finish his sentence, he along with Mina and Lily felt a tingling sensation running through their bodies as they all looked at each other. "I'm not the only one that felt that, right?"
"Nope, you're not the only one," Mina said before she and Mineta made their weapons disappear. "That can only mean one thing."
"Another grand servant has appeared," Lily said as she looked in the direction of where it was coming from. "And they're making their way to the front doors of the school."
"Isn't that where our classmates are right now?" Mineta asked.
"Yep…we better see who they are and hope they're not a villain or worse," Mina said as the trio made their way over to the front of the school. Within a matter of seconds, they would soon see the source behind the tingling sensation. The trio quickly hid behind a large tree. They saw a tall girl with hair reaching her knees, the black skin-tight suit with the lightning bolt symbol on it, a horn sticking out of her forehead, and an animal-like tail swinging left and right. Next to her was a girl with short hair wearing a hero costume talking to Aizawa as the students were making their way onto the bus.
"Whoa, check out her busty muscular figure! She looks like she could bench press a truck!" Mineta said before eyeing the girl up and down. "Though that hair color and style look familiar."
"...I think I might know who that is," Lily said as she made her way from behind the tree they were hiding behind and motioned for Mina and Mineta to follow. Just as they were making their way over to them, Kaminari noticed the trio heading over to them as she smiled and waved at them. Himeko and Aizawa took notice of what Kaminari was doing as they turned their attention to Lily. "Hey, we're here…Um…who's the tall girl?"
"...You just enjoy doing stuff like this don't you?" Aizawa said as Lily raised an eyebrow at him. "Is there a reason why you lied about changing another person's quirk as you did with Mineta and Mina?"
"...Okay I would like some context as to what's going on. You're acting as if I know her?"
"Um, technically you do," Kaminari said as she gave Lily a sheepish smile as she showed off her sharp teeth. "It's um…me. Kaminari." She said which took Mina and Mineta by surprise.
"...Wow...didn't think my quirk would do that...I outdid myself~" Lily said with a smug expression on her face, but soon vanished upon seeing Aizawa glaring at her. "What? It may have slipped my mind that I did this to him along with two others. I just didn't pay much attention to it seeing how I didn't think it would take this long for the effect to kick in."
"Is there a way to change my brother back to being a guy…I mean I'm not against him being a girl now." Himeko said before flinching upon seeing Aizawa's gaze locked onto her. "B-But as a licensed hero, I can not ignore what you did."
"She's hoping there isn't a way to change him back. Mainly because this way she can have an excuse to go shopping…and to skip out on work due to it being a family emergency." Artoria said as Lily mentally nodded.
"Sorry, once the change happens, there's no way to turn them back to normal. Sorry." She said before hearing a sigh of annoyance coming from Aizawa.
"I'm sorry about what happened to Kaminari. The U.A is willing to pay for anything that he…she needs and we will have her go through a physical with Recovery Nurse."
"I-It's fine. So long Kaminari is okay physically." Himeko said as Aizawa turned his attention onto Lily.
"We're going to have a long talk about this with Principal Nezu, right now get your ass on the bus or else you'll do the five-page essay regardless of doing the session that we'll be doing." He said before getting onto the bus. The moment he was out of earshot, Himeko moved over to Lily.
"So you're the villain killer. I can see why Denki was tempted to play with that giant cottontail of yours. It's so huge and fluffy." She said as Lily looked over at Kaminari who looked away while whistling innocently.
"Yeah, I get that a lot." She said before looking at Himeko. "My name's Lily, by the way."
"I know, Kaminari told me a lot about you and the reports from some of the heroes I've been hearing from," Himeko said before extending a hand towards her. "Himeko Kaminari. I'm Denki's older sister and a pro-hero."
"Pro Hero huh?" Lily asked as she raised an eyebrow at her.
"Yeah, kind of the only job I can get that doesn't require that much skill…I mean it does, but you don't have to worry about accidentally trying a computer or two due to your quirk."
"So you're doing this for money?"
"I mean, you gotta make a living in this world of superheroes, no?"
"I mean you're wrong…I'm just surprised you're a hero that's doing this for the money for their family. Which is hard to come by nowadays."
"Ha! I'm not able to become famous Like All Might or any other top rank heroes." She said before whispering into Lily's ear. "Between you and me, my quirk is only good at stunning people like small-time criminals or thieves. I'll leave all the dangerous fighting with super villains and stuff like that to the top rank heroes."
"I can respect that." She said before hearing Aizawa clearing his throat. She along with the others turn their attention to the doorway of the bus as they all flinched upon seeing him glaring at them.
"You're holding up the class. Let's go." He said before walking back inside of the bus.
"Jackass," Lily said as Mina, Mineta, and Kaminari headed inside the bus. "I'd like to talk a bit more, but I have to get going. It was nice meeting you," she said before bowing for a second and quickly heading inside of the bus. Himeko watches Lily and the others head inside the bus as she waves goodbye before leaving. As the bus was beginning to move, Halphas appeared in a miniature form on top of a lamp post as he watched class 1A leave the school grounds before following them.
Tartarus, a prison extremely distanced from civilization where extremely dangerous villains are imprisoned and interrogated under the highest security standards possible. The interior is heavily armored with blast doors lining narrow, steel-plated hallways. Prisoners incarcerated inside Tartarus are heavily restrained depending on the type of people that the villain is. Here inside the iron island was a woman with pink and blue hair who had fallen from grace. Not because she was made into a villain, but choose to become one because of the Public Safety Commission having her perform ruthless and secret work. Mainly being forced to kill people to preserve a false sense of security and suppress opponents.
"Your food is ready. Back away from the door." The intercom said as Nagant rolled her eyes and backed away from the door. The slide on the door opened as her food was placed on the tray connected to the door before the small sliding door closed.
"Not like I can do anything with quirk canceling cuffs on." She said before walking over to her meal and was about to eat, only to pause to see that it looked like someone used the bathroom on it. The meat was mashed into a fine paste with too much gravy being poured on it, the corn and carrots were mixed into the meat-like paste, and some weird gelatin-like substance that she could tell was old and moldy. "Seriously? What kind of food is this!?"
"It's what you're getting. Be grateful that you're being given food and not the chair, villain." The male said as Nagant glared at the intercom and tossed her food into the toilet off to the left part of the room she was in. "Don't expect food for tonight."
"Fucking hero society. After everything I did for them, they have the nerve to treat me as if I've done anything wrong...for the most part." She said before returning to her bed and staring up at the ceiling of the prison cell she was in. How long has it been since she's seen the sky outside of Tartarus? How long has she been in this place since her sentence? There wasn't much she could do to get answers. Not like the people in this prison would answer her question. "All for the sake of hero society. I would give anything to get out of this place."
"Would you give anything to free yourself from this prison?" said a female's voice, causing Nagant to quickly pull herself up and look around the room to see where the voice came from. As she did this, the woman noticed a pale blue and black glowing butterfly heading toward her. The butterfly soon lands on her nose. The moment it did, she found herself standing on top of a pale blue and black-colored water outside of her room.
Nagant quickly looked around in the room of water and emptiness before seeing Morgan sitting a few feet in front of Nagant on a throne made out of deep dark blue and black colored marble. She blinked in surprise by seeing this woman looking down at her with cold pale azure eyes as the human backed away slightly, but soon felt herself falling backward onto a rather surprising comfortable chair.
"At ease, human. I am not here to kill you or anything. Just here to see if what you were thinking to yourself is true or not."
"...Who the hell are you...and where the hell are we?" Nagant demanded.
"I'm just a passerby that happens to hear the plea of a human that wants to bring an end to this world of false heroes and hypocrisy." She said which caught Nagant's attention.
"So she has some kind of mind-reading quirk, I guess she must be some kind of spy for an organization or-"
"I belong to no organization, nor do I have a...mind reading quirk of any kind," Morgan said as Nagant was broken from her thoughts after hearing this. "We are a being beyond your comprehension, which is understandable seeing how your world never took myth and magic seriously."
"...Okay...I must be dreaming or something." She said before feeling the chair she was sitting on shocked her a bit as she stood up slightly.
"This is not a dream. You are currently in a place between the land of the living and dead...purgatory in human terms."
"Alright...I'll buy it for now...You got a name, lady, or would you prefer to remain anonymous?" Nagant asked as Morgan gave her a small smile.
"You may call me Morgan."
"Alright, Morgan….is there a reason why you called me here to this...place?"
"I'm here to make you an offering. Should you choose to accept this offer, I'm willing to spare you from the slaughter that's about to happen to this prison that you're in." Morgan said, which took Nagant by surprise for a moment before letting out a scoff and chuckle.
"You must be joking, right? You expect me to believe you can take down everyone in this prison? You do know that you're in Tartarus? A place where they keep the most dangerous criminals in Japan here?"
"Which is why I am taking over this place in preparation for the coming storm," Morgan said as Nagant had an unconvinced expression on her face. "I get the feeling that what I am saying isn't enough to convince you?"
"Really? What gave it away? Was it the fact that you could be a hero just talking to me so I can get in trouble?"
"You have every reason to distrust me. But I do know that someone of your caliber is wasted in a place like this. Hero society did betray you." Morgan said as she stood up and started to make her way over to her. "You did everything that they asked of you. Kill anyone in the name of peace so that the people of this world can be blissfully unaware of what lies in the shadow. And this is your reward. As shame and pity for what they made you in."
"Your point?"
"You want to bring an end to hero society. Specifically how this system is set up." She said before the berserker servant stands in front of Nagant. "I'm willing to help you do that. All I need is your assistance in helping me out with an important matter later on."
"You expect me to put my faith in some stranger?"
"It's up to you. If you take my offer, then you will be rewarded for joining me and a means to leave this prison. If not, then stay in your cell and I'll let you leave to do whatever you want."
"...Say if I do believe you. How do I know you're not going to betray me or kill me in my sleep."
"Would you rather stay here and eat nothing but slop they call food, or would you rather get freedom and pay back for what they did to you?" Morgan said as it caused Nagant to shiver at the thought of what she was given food-wise.
"...Fine. I'll take you up on your offer for now."
"Wise choice," Morgan said as Nagant soon found herself drifting into slumber. "But the time you wake up, everything will be over soon." She said before everything faded into darkness. While Nagant was sleeping with the help of a spell from Morgan, The queen made herself known as she appeared from out of a portal of darkness and in front of the gates of Tartarus. The moment she took a few steps forwards, the sound of a voice over the intercom spoke up.
"This is a secure area. Only authorized heroes or workers are allowed in. If you are not a hero or worker, then please leave-" Before it could finish, Morgan raised her staff and fired off a small ball of magic at the intercom as it fizzled away into nothingness. As she did that, the alarms from Tartarus were set off. The gates to the prison slowly began to open up as a squad of prison guards quickly surrounded the berserker servant.
"And the foolish humans come out to try and stop the villain," Morgan said as she eyed every human within her field of vision.
"Lay down on the ground and drop your weapon!" yelled one of the guards as they pulled out batons with electricity coming off from the tips.
"It would be wise that you all drop your weapons. Because the moment one of you steps forward, then you will all die in a matter of seconds." Morgan said as one of the guards took a step forward, only to stagger backward as a barrier was created around herself. "You have been warned, now you pay for your arrogance." The berserker servant raised her hand as a heart appeared in her hand. The group looked up at what she was holding in her hand, the moment she crushed the heart that was in her hands, the guards' visions vanished as they soon fell to the ground dead.
Morgan turned her attention to the gates of Tartarus as she aimed her staff at it. Upon doing so, she fired off a dark blue and black beam of magic as it melted the door and parts of the path that leads towards the prison. The berserker servant scanned the area to see that there were people who were reduced to ashes or were corpses on the ground with half of their bodies cut clean in half. The ones that were still standing were taken by surprise by seeing that it was a woman who did this, while some took aim and began to fire at her. The bullets that were about to piece Morgan's body were stopped by a barrier she made with her magic.
"It's interesting that humans would use non-lethal firing rounds upon someone that is a threat. Then again, you humans of hero society aren't the type to be that savage." Morgan said as she raised eyed everyone that was in her sight. Once again, she raised her hand as a heart made of magic appeared once again. "Humans of this prison island! You have two options in surviving this outcome. Surrender now and I'll let you leave with your lives. You'll be able to go home to your loved ones or friends. The other is that if you serve me in my army, you will be rewarded for your service and will be able to see your friends and family."
"You expect us to believe you, murderer!? You killed half of our comrades with that blast of your!" yelled a male guard as he and the other guards continued to fire at her. Morgan lets out a sigh of annoyance upon hearing this as she smashed the heart she had in her hands. Just like the guards outside, they too fell dead onto the ground. Once they were dead, she tapped the ground with her staff as Nagant appeared next to her via a portal.
"Wake up," Morgan said as she lightly slapped the woman on the face as a means to wake her up. The human slowly began to wake up as her eyes widened upon seeing where she was. She soon looks around to see that she was standing outside of her prison cell and surrounded by the dead bodies of the prison guards. "Good, you're awake."
"...The hell just happened?" Nagant asked, shocked as to what happened in the area they were in.
"Like I said before. I did say that I would get you out of her if you were willing to assist me in my goal, correct?" Morgan said as she placed a hand on the quirk canceling cuffs on her wrist. Upon doing that, the cuffs dissolved into ashes as Nagant blinked and rubbed her wrist. "Now do you believe what I said?"
"Y-Yeah...I believe you. S-So what do you need me to do?"
"Just stay here so you don't get caught up in the bloodshed that's going to happen," Morgan ordered as she left the barrier she made and began to walk towards the building that leads deep down into Tartarus. "Once I'm done here, I'll explain what needs to be done. If you want, you can take out anyone that comes here, but stay in the barrier so that you won't get injured or killed."
"R-Right," Nagant said before looking over to where Morgan came from as a shiver ran down her spine at the damage the berserker servant did to the place. "...Makes me feel glad that I chose to take her deal, then to get myself killed."
"I never thought I would see something like this happen," Jirou said as she and the other classmates were taken by surprise by Kaminari's sudden appearance and gender change.
"Is this what you mean by not having control over your quirk when you do something like this?" Kirishima asked as Lily shrugged.
"Again, not reliable for what happens after I use my quirk. So you can't sue me for not liking what you get."
"Do you feel any different Kaminari?" Tsuyu asked as Kaminari looked over at herself.
"Other than the fact that I'm about the same height as All Might, I don't feel any different at the moment." She said while flexing her hand. "Though it does feel weird being a girl."
"Understandable seeing how you've been a dude throughout your entire life," Lily said before eyeing Kaminari up and down. "Just like with Mina and Mineta, I'll be sure to help you out if you need it."
"I'm surprised you're willing to help out a fellow student," Iida said as Lily turned her attention onto him.
"Don't get the wrong idea. I'm only helping those that don't piss me off. So far the only people who I'm not willing to help are you, stick up your ass boy, half-ass icy-hot boy, and small dick boy with a very fragile ego complex."
"The hell did you just say!?" Bakugo yelled.
"You heard me, little boy. You are what I dislike in heroes. I don't know why the fuck the school decided to let your sorry ass into this school given your personality, but they made a horrible decision."
"I could be saying the same thing about you, villain!"
"Well, it was either that or let All Might hunt me down…I rather take my chances here than have a creepy smiling dude chase me around like from a horror movie."
"Hey, All Might's not that creepy," Midoriya said as Lily deadpans at him.
"Are you kidding me? If you saw some dude smiling like that coming towards me trying to save you from drowning, I would take the option to drown myself. No normal person smiles like that." She said while shivering a bit. "It's very disturbing and unsettling if I'm being honest." Midoriya was about to say something to Lily's comment but was cut off as he felt the bus stop and Aizawa standing up to speak.
"We're here. Everyone off the bus, we'll begin today's rescue training once we're inside. Be sure to pay close attention to our instructions." He said before motioning for the students to follow him off the bus and into the building. The moment they were about to enter inside, Lily stopped and turned around due to the feeling that she was being watched by someone from a distance.
"Something wrong?" Mineta asked as Lily shook her head.
"Naw, I thought I felt someone watching us. But it must be my imagination." She said before entering the building along with the others.
"Hello everyone. I've been waiting for you." Lily's attention was soon drawn over to her left as she saw a person wearing a spaceman's space suit.
"Whoa, it's the space hero thirteen. The chivalrous pro who's rescued a ton of people from disasters from across the world." Midoriya said as the students stared in awe at thirteen.
"Woohoo! Thirteen is one of my favorite heroes!" Uraraka said as Lily simply rolled her eyes at their reaction
"A shipwreck, a landslide, a fire, a wind storm, etc. I created this training facility to prepare you to deal with different types of disasters. I call it the unforeseen simulation joint. But you can call it USJ!"
"Like Universal studios japan...I'm pretty sure they can sue your ass for using the initials like that." Lily said as it caused Thirteen to flinch a bit.
"Well...yeah...I just figure it would sound cool, you know?" She said while playing with her fingers a bit.
"Hey, shouldn't All Might be here?" Aizawa asked as he walked over to Thirteen.
"He's currently out of commission for a good couple of hours." Thirteen whispered as he whispered to Aizawa. "He did too much hero work on the way to school this morning and used up all his power. He's resting in the teacher's lounge."
"That man is the height of irresponsibility," Aizawa said with a sigh of disappointment. "Well, we should be okay with just the two of us. The clock's ticking. We should get started with the rescue exercise." He said before taking a few steps forward as he and Thirteen faced the class. Just as Thirteen was about to speak, Lily, Mineta, Mina, and Kaminari felt a tingling sensation wash over their bodies. It wasn't the same when they felt a grand servant appear near them, this was like something big was coming, and it was out for blood. Lily shook her head from the feeling she was getting as she quickly summoned Excalibur into her hands. "Is there a reason why you have your weapon out?"
"Something's coming." She said as Aizawa noticed Lily's facial expression. The moment she said that the lights within the USJ started to flicker on and off repeatedly like a Christmas tree light with flickering light to make a pattern. Soon all the lights turned off as a red ominous portal appeared from the center of the building. From the giant portal came a pillar with red gem-like eyes on its white pale body and red crystals surrounding the base of its body. The moment the lights turned back on, the demon god pillar looked around at his surroundings before locking eyes with Lily and the others.
"Lily…is that?" Mina asked before hearing Artoria speak up
"No, that's not the beast, but he serves under the Goetia. His name is Halphas. The demon god pillar supplies weapons and ammunition to the other pillars. In a sense...he along with the nine pillars that serve him crave war." Artoria answered as she along with the other divine spirits linked Lily, Mina, Mineta, and Kaminari minds together.
"So that's what a demon god pillar looks like," Magni said as a grin appeared on her face. " Gotta say, I'm not that impressed by the way it looks."
"How are you not freaking out by this!?" Kaminari asked as he took a step backward, but felt his body stop due to Magni taking control of it.
"Because I'm used to fighting monsters as big as him. Now hold still for a second." She ordered as the fear that Kaminari was feeling began to vanish. The same thing would be happening to the other grand servants as well, but they would still feel the slight sensation of fear and anxiety flowing through their bodies.
"What did you do?" Mineta asked as he moved his arms. "The fear that I was feeling…it's gone."
"Not gone, just subsiding thanks to us," Artemis answered. "Normally we wouldn't take control of your body without asking, but in this case, we're making an exception."
Lily was about to take a set forward as the magic circuits in her legs lit up and was about to charge at the demon god pillar but stopped upon seeing Aizawa stand in front of the group protectively. She soon looked over at him as she saw a fearful expression on his face that he was trying his best to hide from the other students.
"Thirteen, take the kids and-" Before Aizawa could finish, the entrance to the USJ was sealed off by tentacles similar to that of Halphas.
"How rude. Don't you know it's impolite to leave when someone is talking to you? Especially when they can kill you with little more than a thought." The demon pillar said as it caused Aizawa to focus his attention on him. Upon looking at him, his eyes glowed red and his hair stood up as he tried to deactivate his quirk. But in doing so, nothing happened as he looked over at the blocked entrance.
"Thirteen, can you get close to the door and get those things off of it?"
"I-I can try, but that...thing might notice me." She said before looking at the demon pillar. "It looks like it can talk and understand human language. See if you can distract it by talking to it while I deal with the entrance." Thirteen suggested as Aizawa nodded. While the two pro-heroes discussed their plan with each other. The students talked to each other wondering what that creature was.
"I-I'm not the only one getting chills down their spines am I?" Sato asked as he noticed some of his classmates nodding in fear.
"What is that thing? How was it able to sneak into the USJ like that without tripping any type of alarms?" Midoriya asked as he analyzed the demon pillar. "Could it be that it has some kind of quirk that allows it to warp?"
"It's just some villain with a stupid quirk that allows him to look like that. All bark and no bite." Bakugo said as Kirishima spoke.
"I don't know. It doesn't look like it's an illusion or something. Looking at it just gives me an uncomfortable feeling like we need to get out of here."
"Tsh, weakling, you shouldn't be afraid of villains. Especially with something that looks like you can just knock it out with just." While each student talked to one other, Momo walked over to Lily mainly to see if she was okay.
"You okay, Lily?" She asked as the bunny girl shook her head.
"At the moment, I'm on edge. Mainly because of the monster in the middle of the USJ."
"I-I'm sure Aizawa and Thirteen will think of a way to take down the villain," Momo said as Lily shook her head once again.
"No...no they can not."
"What do you mean by that?" Iida said as he along with some of the students looked over at Lily.
"I can understand that most of you might not sense. But every sense that I have is saying to get the hell away from it and not look back."
"Seriously? You're scared of that thing?" Bakugo said as a smirk appeared on his face. "It doesn't even look like a threat."
"Then you're an idiot if you can't sense it or know that we're in danger," Lily said as she looked back at Aizawa carefully making his way towards Halphas. Once the pro hero was within range of Halphas, the pro hero's eyes glowed again in an attempt to deactivate the demon god pillar's quirk that he assumed he had. But once again, nothing changed.
"So...you're some human with a quirk that can change your appearance," Aizawa said as it caused Halphas to cry out in laughter.
"Don't make me laugh, human. Do you think I would disguise myself with the skin of the very being I hate? No, unlike the others, I prefer to make myself visible to all."
"Who...or what are you?"
"I am Halphas. One of the seventy-two demon god pillars of Goetia. I along with nine of the pillars govern over the armory of Goetia. Furfur, Marchosias, Stolas, Phenex, Malphas, Raum, Focalor, and Vepar."
"What is it that you want?"
"To bring about the end of this world of hypocrisy made by heroes like you." The demon pillar said as it took Aizawa and the others by surprise. "We have been around and watched as this world slowly becomes nothing more than a disgrace to the word hero. Hero popularity votes, selling merchandise of your heroes of this generation, relying on heroes that only care about money, power, and fame. This ideal world of false heroes must come to an end. And we, the seventy-two demons will bring an end to it. For we declare war upon this world, and you all will be proof of our declaration of it with your blood."
"If you think I'm going to let you rob these children of their future, then you're surely mistaken, monster," Aizawa said as he noticed one of Halphas eyes glowing. He was about ready to dodge whatever attack he was about to dish out, only for him to notice a beam shooting past him and the students as it headed towards Thirteen. The moment the beam made contact with her, the upper part of her body disintegrated into nothing. Blood soon shot out from where her upper body used to be as her bottom part fell to the ground.
"THIRTEEN!" Uraraka screamed as some of the students screamed, gasped in horror, or were silently stunned by what they just saw.
"Heh, the sounds of humans screaming in terror is like calm relaxing music~," Halphas said before focusing his attention on Aizawa. "Don't take me lightly human. You didn't think I couldn't hear you planning your escape? As I said before, you will all die here." He said before Aizawa noticed a red and black orb of energy appearing above them. "To make sure that happens, I'll take you to someplace where no one will ever find you."
"Everyone! Take cover! Now!" Aizawa yelled as the orb of magic Halphas was gathering exploded, It soon engulfed Aizawa as the explosion was making its way over to the students of class 1A. There was no time to react due to being taken by surprise by Thirteen's death, as the explosion engulfed them as their vision went white before fading into darkness.
