Sorry I Accidentally deleted the chap. Sorry
AN/; This chapter is an intro of what Izuku is gonna do. And thank you all for such a great support.
Nezu's office was dead silent since Midnight informed the child is awake and walking, they needed further information that may add up to the puzzle.
The incident yesterday is now being reported on the television which the three men watching and was found many similar incidents around the city in such short time. Black ashes left behind by an entity or something nobody knows what and the news already spreading like wildfire of many witnesses claiming to see or presumably making up stories of the nonexistent.
However, with all the lack of information of whatever came out or caused the fire pillar to the sky, even detectives considering each of tales of a giant monster to a scythe wielding reaper and with some deeper inspection, few reports are similar.
The common part of these reports are, bright moving lights and a heavy sound of a motorcycle. And it took about twelve or so hours and the reports including the crime sites are more than 7 to 11. And almost 64 confirmed deaths and as well found 4 comatose bodies and an heavily injured local hero.
Overall, the news was bone chilling enough, police and pro heroes now had to extend their reach to every part of the city as well as find any suspicious individuals or a same pattern crime scene.
People started the gossip, and that going in trending for a while it seems.
"Mmm...at least we have a possible pattern." Tsukauchi said gaining other's attention.
"What?" Aizawa asked.
"Well, as far as these incidents progressing, the victims are either villains or the people has dirt on them. Many of those died, I was investigating on them at some point. But they never had a permanent hideouts and eventually many outsmarted our departments or slaughtered those who has information on them." Tsukauchi explains.
"But, what about that injured hero?" Yagi wondered just as brainstorming as others.
Tsukauchi shrugged. "All we could do is rely on the kid, unless we can find any footages or legit witnesses. Other than that, it's hopeless to think of anything on our own."
"If the cases leading and proven cold blooded murder with no reason to, we have to think of secure the students and help them at all cost. Just you know, coincidences can happen at the worst way possible. We can't tell who's next." Nezu said.
"We'll try." Tsukauchi said but nezu was thinking of different.
"To secure I mean, we should do the dormitory project and have our precious students settle in the own U.A compound. After all, present and past effects the future, right?"
The plan was great. At least they could not fail the next generation at any means and must protect them so they could live up to their dreams.
"Inform parents and students. We need them moved here in a week." Nezu instructed and nobody objected. Nezu' plans has the charm so they trust his decisions.
"With all these happening one of them got a serious affect yesterday at physical test." Aizawa grumbled and others nodded.
"Ummm...Izumi Midoriya, Right? Recovery girl informed she was panicking when out cold. Her mother said her little brother's death effected her and the boy wanted to become a hero." Nezu said. Others felt a pinge of hurt knowing that a hero fallen before his dreams come true.
"No wonder why she was trying her hardest even after scoring the best on all the tests." Aizawa voiced out his thoughts.
"He was a quirkless child if I recall it correctly. Poor kid died because of villain trying to outrun Hawks on a car. The criminal later proven that he was driving under a heavy dosage of drugs." Tsukauchi, the leading officer of the incident said.
Yagi, though...he heard that name before. Izuku Midoriya. But, the hero works and heavy stress with his health condition, the memory of that name was cloudy but his gut told him how much he's aware of the fallen child. He only recall a small child he met on the rooftop but hazily. He only remembers that kid was a boy and due to how All Might was in such a hurry, he doesn't remember much except for a broccoli hair.
The news was saddening. Someone died wanting to be a hero knowing they are qurckless and the dream left behind after they're gone because of someone else's fault. The kid must have tough due to how society treats them.
If nobody, Aizawa is one to relate him and the deceased child and truly he got an image of how much the kid have struggled. Until the end, Izumi Midoriya' little brother refused to give up but had no choice in the end. Life is a bitch to those who really deserves happiness.
They exchanged small talks and Aizawa is just there because the child and the incident yesterday. He's not the type to get involved into anything until he sees something interesting or reasonable enough.
Time passed and Midnight came back with an awake but a wary looking 5 year old in her hands. The child's so small compared to those at his age and barely weigh enough to say he'll live. But he's far from healthy. Both physically and mentally.
And if this child is the one at the crime scene, then it's safe to say...a child this age with all the wounds and the fear in his brown empty eyes...that, he's gone through a lot. Traumatizing, unusual things a normal child shouldn't have.
He's shaking on the R-Rated pro' hands still afraid of them and the only thing keeping the child from snapping is, Midnight' quirk. It was calming and refreshing so Aizawa asked her to be around the child. And she willingly accepted.
Who wouldn't?
After a while, the atmosphere cooled down and the little kid is so sure, he's now safe but not yet was comfortable around them.
"Hello there, I'm a police officer and these people here are pro heroes. Nobody can't hurt you here, don't worry." Tsukauchi said in his calmest and the most cheerful voice that may finally let the boy calm down fully.
Midnight was sitting on a chair with the boy on her lap. Her palm gently stroking his fluffy but a bit dirty hair.
The boy nodded slowly and looked at them trying his hardest to not panic and he saw no lies, amusement on their faces and sighed a shakily breath few times and nodded at the man.
"Can I ask few questions? Can we do that?" Tsukauchi asked careful not startle the kid, who nodded again.
"Okay..here it goes. Is your name Tae Honekawa?"
"..ye..s." Tae stuttered.
Truth.
"Where is your parents? Are they still with you Tae?" Tsukauchi asked the personal question, knowing that may make the boy go into a breakdown but he added his softest voice to ask that. They went missing together two years ago.
Tae was silent and Midnight cooed some comforting lines and the boy just shook his head a no. "..The..y killed..mommy" He said, tears falling and crying.
The heroes felt that familiar feeling crept deep up in their heart..the one when you know you couldn't help a small, now orphan child. The guilt was severe.
.
.
"Do you know this person?" Tsukauchi hesitantly reached for a photo from his file after the boy calmed down again.
When he showed the photo, they see mixture of fear, anger and disgust on the child' face.
"What happened?" Midnight soothing asked the boy who was staring at the photo, shaking slightly.
"..Yes.."The boy said and Tsukauchi nodded. But before any of them asked something the boy mumbled something. Last nights incident...he saw it all from behind building and saw how the man suffered. The same way he, his mother and countless others suffered. Tae heard his tormentor and the cause of a man to steal his parents, life and everything...screaming begging for forgiveness from his savior. The terrifying figure he first didn't dare to look in the eye but when the figure motioned him to go, Tae started to believe that, the figure he saw is beyond anything he saw before. 'Gods do exists. you have to look for one.' He remember his mother saying those words and now he thinks he found the real god.
"What was that?" Midnight asked as she and others heard the boy mumble and then the unexpected happened.
Tae gave a small smile as he looked up at the adults. "..He screamed just like me and momma did when my savior 'killed' him.." Tae said nervously but wearing a happy smile on his face. Now his momma is happy, the man who tortured them finally learned his lesson.
The adults was stunned and looked at each other and realized, Tae' talking of the same 'entity' the police are looking for.
"Can I ask you who was your savior and how do they looks like?" Aizawa asked curiously and they all leaned closer to hear what the boy has to say. By the look of photos and the explosion, they had idea what level threat the 'savior' would be.
"Like, what was their name? If you know." Tsukauchi added and the boy looked at the them and thought about the flaming man.
"..I don't know who or what are that person was. they were silent, creepy and scary with green fire on their skeleton."
(IZUMI'S POV) The same day evening.
I was feeling horrible since the fitness test because of the headaches and the small burn my right hand. Even after a good sleep, I feel dizzy but I somehow still kicking. Mom wasn't willing for let me come to school and wasn't even interested about the dormitory setup which all students has to move into at weekend after a special class said gonna happen. But somehow I convince her, it's necessary if a person wanna be a hero. No regrets, no hesitation, I had to monologue almost a hundred Allmight dialogues for her to give up on the matter. Eventually I was allowed to stay at the dorms that opening in almost five days or less.
And here am I, in an observation room with rest of 1-A and the number one hero, watching the hero vs villain test. Almight said that all the students divided in two individual group of both hero and villain, and in the end I'm paired with Ochako and gonna face a villain team that Allmight chooses. But until now almost every match were finished with villains having scored better than heroes.
Now only two rounds left and in either of those is our time comes randomly so I was preparing while Ochako and others talking about the mysterious 'vigilante' that came out of a green fire pillar. At least that's what authorities claiming they found out and I watched news last night but I don't believe something they claim to be exist.
May or may not some villain' doing it in order to spread fear by doing something with a machine or bomb or..whatever. At least we have Allmight if things go south or so many pro heroes. I believe in them and I hope eventually others trust us the future hero' the same way.
Then Allmight called out me and Ochako as hero' facing Bakugo and Iida. It's our turn now and we are playing the hero role.
As me and my partner walked to the building, I was sure as heck Iida is more reasonable and Bakugou is overconfident. But since Izuku' death, he's afraid of me. After all I became more unforgivable and stubborn and mad that I fight without any second thought or realization if my attacks hurt my foes or even worse. But I refuse to hurt someone that's not Bakugou. I don't give a damn I kill him in the end.
"BEGIN." Allmight' voice boomed the battlegrounds and our enemies are already inside the building as well as Ochako who didn't even realize I was slacking off.
Sighing, I made mental image of not completely go influenced by the emotions as well as our victory that now need to be Inevitable and rest is to Allmight to decide who to choose as winners.
"Ami, have plan? We cannot risk even a small portion." Ochako reminded and I nodded.
"I'll let myself as a bait, you secure the weapon. Katsuki will go after me." I said and she looked at me unsure.
I can't blame her though. It's no solid plan but seeing how Katsuki has his stubbornness in him. He will come after me so he can show me his power even though he's uneasy around me. He'll be more violent and aggressive to mask his doubtful face I saw in him in these ten months. He won't waste no time and I'm sure of it. Besides, Ochako has an advantage of her quirk. She can either float herself up or catch Iida off guard. She's perfect but Iida is smart too,though.
"You sure? No backups? Is offensive approach a good idea?" Ochako voiced out her concern.
"Depends on the situations. Now is a great time and also use your quirk either on you or Iida if your sneak approach fails. You know better than me, how good is your quirk is." I assured her and The wall exploded.
Bakugo landed between me and Ochako as I thought he'll do.
Ochako sneaked away leaving both of us.
I snickered coldly at the blonde who stood there with an intense expression, with a ready stance that looked more of a rushed. The way he was opposing me, I sure as heck can see he's actually troubled. More like an adrenalin. I have to say, He won't be fighting for a while. He's now in between the two stages of forced confidence and unsure of anything else including his current position.
"Predictable, as always,Kacchan." I teased seeing his left eye twitch. That nickname sure do an impact on his pride and knowing him, he'll use rage to cover his true feelings.
"STOP FUCKING CALLING ME THAT." He shouted going for a explosive powered right hook that I knew he'll do. Typical Katsuki. 'Kacchan will use his right hook, Ami' I do remember when Izuku intructed me when me and Katsuki fought the second time on middle school. Now his analysis on Katsuki is as readable to me and I'm sure that, the information won't erased from my mind.
Instead of dodging the blow I raised a psychic shield just to block and dropped it immediately with my own knee to his chest and a spinning heel kick.
He was about to fall when he exploded the ground lifting himself up in the air to propel towards me.
Same trick over and over again, huh Katsuki?
So will I.
I laughed surrounding him with a purple aura and ducked so he flew over my head and hit the opposite wall still surrounded in the purple aura I uses to make him not to use his explosion and I lifted him up so fast he slammed onto the ceiling and going through it distracting Iida who was head on fighting Ochako.
With enough time Ochako floated herself and hugged the weapon.
"HERO TEAM WINS!" Allmight announced.
And I finished the game before it even started and just as before. Bakugou still lacking confidence.
And he's lost.
Child abuse, a sin with no excuses. The inflicter of the suffering must be perished at any cost. If denied the accusation its gonna make things worse. Acknowledge your mistakes and there' a way to afterlife unless the tormentor is fine with eternal suffering of hell, where billions of sinners paying for what they did wrong. To a pickpocket to murder, child abuse, neglect, rape every sin has a punishment at the pits of hell and no mercy guaranteed. No matter what happens you at hell, you won't die. There are no escapees, just suffering.
Izuku felt that pain. Not of the one's at hell. No. He felt the blood of innocents everywhere and one stood out the most. Dozens children and adults of various ages with nothing except their fate in common. Either they are shipped to those who needs a test subject, or those who need pets or...playthings. And Izuku was in rage. After he free them, no sinner will live up to live another tomorrow and that's his final decision. Sinners must be eliminated. He'll make sure of that.
Sinners will feel the suffering in the mortal realm before the eternal suffering of hell.
The highway wasn't as crowded and he rode the black chopper lookalike bike attracting attention of many with it's heavy and loud sound as he zoomed past them in his mortal form. Izuku knew better than to deal with the wannabe heroes if they see his Hell formation. But his appearance is a dead giveaway that he ain't cared the slightest. If a fake hero happens to cross his way, he'll make sure they receive an extra VIP section of the pits of hell.
Izuku had his hood covered his identity while on public and killed the sinners without much distraction and people still have no idea who or what the vigilante they were talking about. They don't know how he looks like. And all they saw was a man riding an expensive bike and that's it. However, he knew he cannot sneak around forever but that won't falter him from doing his duty as the spirit of vengeance.
'Help with a smile on your face', and that line has to be modified. 'Save the innocent, wiping away the smile of villainy.' that's more like it.
With barely some times later, Izuku pinpointed the location of the captives. And there's gonna be the sinners who'll suffer before he let them die. No instant deaths to those who laugh at the pain of other's. Instant killing is an escape...until they fall in the pits of hell, where punisher' waiting for the new souls.
The suffering is gonna haunt their reincarnation for the countless generations...only if they make it to the afterlife.
(AT THE RUNDOWN COAST FACILITY)
The building was less suspicious with that abandoned lifeless look and destroyed exteriors, was located farthest right of the city, near the docks. There were no civilization around that part of the beach and the researchers who build the base claimed of the area being unmatched for their purpose and was left long time ago.
At least the story was believable. No hero or villains can find the place unless they do have business with the current occupants of the building.
There are no rumors, witnesses, proof of anything suspicious happening there. Either, the said witnesses do not exist or they gone silent. And that's why black marketing, auction, drug transportation, black money and all going smoothly for the 'Black Lotus'. A highly secretive black spot of the criminal world that oversees the many continents and many bases around the world. No one but those who are as important knew of the existence of the said group.
Many women, children, money and all disappeared without a trace. In different parts of tokyo. No noticeable suspects. No common similarities. No patterns. No evidence. They vanished one day and never came back.
Including a reporter who seek high scoop for their news paper, and people only knows he was just as unfortunate as the vanishing individuals. No information of the whereabouts of any of them, let a alone evidences of the crime scene. Police gave up long ago and Black Lotus are thankful. They won't tie up loose ends, just straight up cut them out of picture. Including those who work for Black Lotus. 'slit throats of nosy people and don't hold back even if it's your bloodline' A common rule, Raijin Kuraokami, the third executive of the vast organization. He's the boss here. At tokyo, while there are many of them scattered around the globe doing dirty work for their long lost founder.
"Boss, we have a new deal." A grunt announced coming in an old looking office with rusty iron walls. Sadly though, the maintenance are limited due to the unstable structure of the building. Even if an excavator hit the wrong wall the building is done for. But to mask in with false impression on a non suspicious building, they cannot rebuild the base and expose the life in the building. Police will come a headache and heroes pain in the ass and then Allmight. He is an unavoidable meteor if he accidentally blow a punch. So, having an old base has it's own perks.
The room had so many stuffs contains drugs, experimental items and all.
Raijin, the man himself, wearing all black suit sat on the cushioned chair, had black trimmed hair and goatee, sunken brown eyes with glasses. He was smoking a cigar while playing games on his phone. He was in his middle ages, and his body is not muscular either.
He looked up at his goon who was as bored as the other occupants. He's a action starved bastard just like the majority of others excluding Raijin. The boss only like having fun with their captives. He's a sicko.
"Spit it." Raijin spat, still playing games.
"Two crates for a quirk." The goons said. Quirk means, they also have to give away their slaves in process. Well that's what they are for.
The man sighed. They wants that drug a fellow gang produced. So, they are getting two crates of it for powerful quirk. As well as wielder of the quirk. "Who's the messenger they sent?"
"A bystander. No official member." The goon replied knowing his boss' answer.
"Kill him. I'll contact them later. After all..." The boss said getting up throwing his phone on the table with a smirk. "...we have to do a proper farewell for someone, right?"
"Yes, boss. And can I fight and then kill the messenger? My muscles are stiff by playing around." The goon complained.
"I want him dead, that's all." Raijin said walking out of the room to a hallway full of doors to each sides that either the rooms of the gang members or some empty storage.
He drew a beeline straight at a room that's left to the hallway and had narrow pathway leading to a metal door. An amused mischievous smirk appeared on his face when he felt the intense air behind that door. He can already see them crying and in pain. Their screams are a music in in his ears and he enjoys it.
Opening the door. There was a big room that connects to many cells with iron bars. The cells are attached to the wall and the cell are actually connected to one another with no barriers on the middle. And inside big wide cell was almost 70 or so people of different ages and powers. There were men to little boys and women to little girls. All of them wearing quirk nullifying cuffs on their legs and their bodies are all bruised beat up and wore torn bloodied clothes.
By the appearance of them, one can say they are living because of miracle. They looks exhausted, starved and in pain. And some of them has tight shock collars around their neck enough choke them to a state that a tiny bit of air their lungs get. Such a cruelty.
These are the people who mysteriously vanished within last few months maybe over a year and they lost all their hopes of survival but will be happy if one day the could escape.
Raijin laughed at the people gathered around close to one another due to support those who have weak heart.
"Hello there." Raijin greeted smirking at a them and then at a teenage girl who was he going to sell for the drugs. The girl' heart skip a beat and she knew what's going to happen, and tears poured out her already puffy red eyes. She's a teen around 13 or so and had long blonde hair, which is now covered in grime and blood. Her black eyes looked dead and her lips are busted slightly.
Her fate is written. She thought that way. Her cellmate' had the same fate waiting for them. That monster sold her friends way back the first month of their capture. And now it's her turn to go. Nobody knew where are they taken to but knew that there' no escape from it. It's more like fear of the unknown.
"Today one you is my key to achieve something I strongly craved for. And as you know how well we should say farewell to that certain someone." The man declared earning many shocked gasps from the crowd behind the bars. "I know that someone knows who am I referring to." The man said.
The slaves started to worry about that. Even if they don't know each other for their life, here in this cell they got familiar with one another overtime. Having that ripped away from them do hurt to say the least. So Raijin heard many cries, complaints, curse and was desperately trying their best to defend the all the occupants as well as themselves.
"As my pets, I expect no denial. Like it or not, you are going." The man smirked at the girl and others looked at her worried. "If you want them safe, come on out without all the ruckus. I do have some pretty good things so you won't forget any of us." The man ordered to the cowering girl who complied eventually. She care about them dearly to refuse to oblige.
The teenager stood up weakly and pried away the comforting and desperate hands that was begging her to don't go. She pushed past the human barrier blocking her from the man.
It's better this way.
"A good girl you are. I must treat you with an extra care and choose some best 'toys' to make you never forget this day." Raijin said. "Now come closer." He said about to unlock the cell.
She's going to somewhere away from them. Somewhere more hellish. More merciless. More unforgiving. More psychotropic.
Is this her fate?
Is god that much enjoy toying with the good and lovable people?
Is there even a god?
If there is...why not helping them?
"Come on let's go. We have a long way." The man said in a sadistic voice scaring her and he was searching for the keys in his pocket giving some time to cherish her moments with these kind innocent people.
And she one last time called for god, with a small hope. Hope that will die down the second she' gonna step out of the cell.
Help us god.
And the call for help was replied with the building shaking slightly with a faint sound of an explosion.
The man growled at that and a goon burst through the door saying 'Intruder' or emergency. He looked afraid and in urgency as Raijin give a one final look at the slaves and left the room with the goon.
Did her prayer reached to god?
AN/: How was the chapter?
