Many thanks to those who read and reviewed this fic. I really appreciated it and this gave me inspiration to work on the next chapter and here our heroes are about to get themselves embroiled in a bit of a fight as they try to help Mineta, who is being targeted for a reason…which eventually spirals out of control as the situation gets tense inside Chinatown…
Well then, read on and enjoy!
Ch. 3: Batorurowaiyaruinchainataun
At the entrance of Chinatown, some of the Class 1-B students are passing by and saw the stalls selling its products at a discounted price, and this somewhat entices the girls tonight there and see if there are any items worth buying as they might benefit it if it meets their need and standards as this would be their first time going shopping at Yokohama.
The Class 1-B students shown are:
- Pony Tsunitori
- Reiko Yanagi
- Yui Kodai
The three girls began looking at the stalls and began inquiring about the products being sold, and the merchants began to entice the girls to buy the products and offered a discounted price, assuring them that they are in top quality and that they are easy to use, promising that they will not regret it and the girls will benefit a lot.
Pony appeared to be easily enticed and asked Yanagi and Kodai if they should buy the products, which the two girls wondered if this is okay as they are unsure if they should buy it or not.
"I don't know…"
"We need to be sure first…"
"Yeah. It'd be better if…"
"Maybe we should skip this one…"
"She's right. We don't have enough money to buy anything else…"
"Oh, come on…this is my first time shopping here…"
"Easy, Pony…"
"Yeah…there's next time…"
-x-
Meanwhile, the scene shows that Mineta was walking away from the shop to get away from the men in tuxedos who are after him, but as he walked further away, he can hear the men beating the shopkeeper up as they demand for the secret herbs, which he insisted that the supply has already ran out, yet the men are not convinced and continue to beat him up.
"Don't stall us!"
"We know you have it!"
"Better spit it out!"
"Come on!"
"Bring it out!"
"Or else we'll kill you!"
"Do it!"
"Now!"
Mineta was spooked and proceeded to walk away, however he stopped as he had an ATTACK OF CONSCIENCE and realized that he could not leave the shopkeeper alone with those thugs, and decided to go back there and face the goons and fight back if needed.
By then the three men in tuxedos came out from the shop and confronted Mineta, demanding that he hand over the goods if he wants to live longer, making it clear that they won't hold back against anyone, even children and toddlers.
"Okay, kid."
"Hand it over."
"We know you have it."
"Um…ah…well…"
"We know you have the herbs."
"Give it to us."
"And we mean it."
"Can't we talk this over…?"
The men in tuxedos knew that Mineta is stalling, and they crackled their knuckles as they threaten to harm him if he doesn't surrender the herbs, and gave him another warning that they will make their threat real if Mineta does not give them the herbs he took form the shop, and Mineta tried to feign innocence and said he doesn't have it.
The men went closer and exhibited a menacing aura and gave Mineta an ultimatum: give them the herbs or he will be crippled for the rest of his life.
"Okay, kid. Last chance."
"Hand it over. And you know what we mean."
"We know you have it, so stop acting innocent."
"Um…ah…well…you see…I, um…ah…"
"We know you have the herbs. And there's no use feigning."
"Give it to us. Now."
"And we mean it."
"Um…guys…can't we talk this over…?"
By then, the four other men in tuxedos were thrown towards the other three goons, and the seven men were on the ground, which surprised Mineta, and there he saw Midoriya and Kendo approaching him, and they asked him if he is okay, which a relieved Mineta nodded and said that these guys are attacking the shopkeeper, and the leader of the men in tuxedos came out, holding the shopkeeper, who is badly beaten, and there he saw Midoriya and Kendo, and he realized that their operation is in jeopardy.
The leader of the men in tuxedos then told his seven cohorts to use their Quirks and beat up the teens and get the goods from Mineta no matter what, which the men nodded in reply.
"Get up! Kill those brats! Use your quirks and do not hold back!"
"Yes sir!"
"Yes sir!"
"Yes sir!"
"Yes sir!"
"Yes sir!"
"Yes sir!"
"Yes sir!"
The goons looked ready to go ahead, but Midoriya and Kendo stood in their path and demanded to know what are they up to and why are they after Mineta, but the men only glared at them and gave off an intimidating aura.
Kendo can tell that the goons are unwilling to answer and tells Midoriya not to hold back saying that those men gave out a murderous aura and that they should be taken down in order to prevent them from causing casualties, which the boy agreed.
"Midoriya."
"Yeah?"
"These guys are exhibiting murderous auras."
"…"
"Better not hold back. We should take them down before they attempt to use hostages."
"I understand."
"Ready?"
"Yeah."
Kendo and Midoriya went into their battle stances as the goons are poised to deliver the next attack, but then, Class 1-B member Hiryu Rin came and told Midoriya, Mineta and Kendo to be careful; saying that the eight men are members of a Chinese mafia, and possesses Quirks that are based on the Chinese Zodiac, which Kendo asked if he is sure.
Hiryu nodded and tells the two Class 1-A members not to hold back in using their Quirks, saying that the eight men are remorseless murderers who would not hesitate to kill their targets whether they are adults or children.
Midoriya was surprised and glanced at the eight men, and there the leader told his men to use their Quirks and go all out, telling them not to hold back and get the goods from Mineta and kill him if they have to, which the goons roared in reply.
"Activate your Quirks! Kill them without mercy!"
"Yes sir!"
"Yes sir!"
"Yes sir!"
"Yes sir!"
"Yes sir!"
"Yes sir!"
"Yes sir!"
The eight men then activated their Quirks, and their bodies enlarged and are now as tall as bus vehicles, where the eight men now resembled humanoid animals based on the Chinese zodiac signs which are:
- Rat
- Ox
- Tiger
- Dragon
- Monkey
- Dog
- Snake
- Horse
Midoriya stared in surprise at what he is seeing, and tells Mineta to run off while he and the others stall the mafia men, which Mineta asked if Midoriya will be okay, and is told that he will be fine and tells Mineta to get help as he has a feeling that the mafia men are going to be tough to deal with.
"We'll be fine, Mineta."
"But…Midoriya, they're…"
"Kendo-san and I will hold them off. You get help from the police and other pro heroes that you might find."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"..."
"Trust me on this. Get going, Mineta."
"G-got it…"
As Mineta started to ran off, Ox attempted to go after him by charging like an ox would and gored a few shoppers in the process, injuring them, and this prompted Midoriya to use One For All at 5%, managing to partially crack one of Ox's horn, but the villain is still raring to fight and mocked Midoriya for being a weakling, saying his blow just tickled him and not feeling any pain.
Midoriya braces himself as Ox charges again in an attempt to gore the boy, however Kendo showed up and uses her Quirk and did a chop, causing Ox's left horn to fully give in and was shattered, causing him to shriek in pain while kneeling down, before she did another chop that knocked him out of commission, making him the first goon to be taken down.
Midoriya thanked Kendo for the assist which she smiled and said its okay, stating that though they may be rivals at UA, she enjoyed teaming up with a fellow schoolmate. Seeing her smile made Midoriya notice her beauty and began to feel attraction towards her, causing him to blush, giving him a cute look.
Likewise, Kendo also began to notice the boy's innocent nature, and seeing him blush, it also made her notice him, and blushed as well, where they stared at each other for several seconds before snapping out of their trance, and Midoriya promptly apologizes, worried that she might think that he has perverted intentions.
Kendo blushes further at seeing him apologize and assured to him that he did nothing wrong and tells him not to worry about anything.
"Ah…don't worry about it."
"Really…?"
"Yeah."
"Well…it's just that you…well…"
"Yeah, I'm pretty and all. After we take out the goons, you can complement me all you like."
"Really?"
"Yup."
"…"
Hiryu came and sarcastically urged the two to STOP FLIRTING and concentrate in subduing the mafia goons, causing Kendo and Midoriya to blush deeply and she told Hiryu that they were not flirting though Hiryu jokingly told Kendo to think about enticing a boy that would not attract attention which made her blush even more.
Midoriya is also blushing yet he shook his head to snap back to attention as he started to block the mafia goons' path to keep them from going after Mineta, but one of the goons who activated his Quirk challenged him as he has the appearance of a humanoid horse and did a strong horse kick which Midoriya narrowly avoided, and this prompted the mafia goon to get past Midoriya and proceed to go after Mineta .
Fortunately Midoriya was able to react and straddled onto the goons back like riding an actual horse and the goon began to violently attempt to shake off the boy just to get the boy off him, smashing a few stalls in the process as the goon demanded that Midoriya get off him or suffer the consequences, though the boy has no intention of doing so.
"Hey!"
"Whoa!"
"Get off me, you brat!"
"I won't!"
"Get off me or I'll kill you!"
"Not a chance!"
"I mean it! I'll kill you!"
"Plus ultra!"
Meanwhile Mineta was running off, but fearing that he might get caught he hid behind one of the stalls as one of the mafia goons is after him, and has activated his Quirk that gives him the appearance of a humanoid German Shepherd, and he glared at the startled merchants and demanded that they tell him where Mineta went.
Of course the merchants told him they do not know as they didn't see him due to Mineta secretly hid under the stalls, thus they are unaware that he is hiding among the stalls.
"Sorry…"
"We did not see him."
"We don't know what he looks like…"
"Maybe he went to another direction…"
"Don't know…don't care…"
"We're busy."
"Pay us and maybe we'll tell."
"…"
Angered, the goon made a howling sound, which caused the dogs and puppies who are inside the cages of the stalls to act wildly and began to shake around till they broke free from the cages and commanded the puppies and dogs to find Mineta and kill him if they have to, which the puppies and dogs howled in obedience and began searching for their target .
The merchants were getting scared as the goon began to threaten them if they do not bring Mineta to him, and he meant business as he began to manhandle one of the merchants and said the others will suffer the same consequences if they do not do as told.
The merchants pleaded and said that they really do not know as they don't know what Mineta looked like.
"WE'RE SORRY!"
"FORGIVE US!"
"SHOW US MERCY!"
"WE WON'T DO IT AGAIN!"
"JUST DON'T HURT US!"
"WE BEG YOU!"
"PLEASE!"
By then Mineta can be heard screaming as the possessed puppies and dogs found him and are ready to attack him, the mafia goon who has the appearance of a humanoid dog gnarled as he decided to do a pleasure-seeking, and said that he will PUNISH the merchants for the supposed concealing of Mineta and the merchants pleaded that they did nothing of the sorts.
But the goon cruelly said that a punishment is a punishment and said that the merchants deserved to be killed and did a howling which gives the dogs the command, and the goon ordered the possessed dogs to attack and kill everyone on sight, and the merchants begged for mercy as they do not wish to die just because of his cruel deeds.
"WE'RE SORRY!"
"FORGIVE US!"
"SHOW US MERCY!"
"WE WON'T DO IT AGAIN!"
"JUST DON'T HURT US!"
"WE BEG YOU!"
"PLEASE!"
Suddenly, the dogs and puppies began to sit down and acted like peaceful pets, and the goon is surprised to see this, and demanded to know what just happened, where it is revealed the Class 1-A student Koji Koda arrived, and having heard everything, he uses his Quirk to tell the dogs and puppies to stand down and not do anything.
The goon is flabbergasted and questioned Koda if he is challenging him, which Koda nodded, saying that the goon has no right harming the merchants who are doing honest business here, and there Mineta joined Koda and thanked him for the timely arrival, which Koda said it is okay.
"Koda-san!"
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah…"
"Are you hurt?"
"I'm okay…thanks for the help!"
"It's fine."
"Those guys are after me!"
"I get the drift."
Suddenly, the mafia goon who has the appearance of a humanoid horse came and is ready to rumble, but Tsunitori showed up and are facing off, and there the two goons said that they wanted the herb that Mineta has and demanded that he hand it over, but Mineta vowed that he won't saying that he paid for it while the goons only wanted to steal it and beat up the shopkeeper for that.
The two goons are angered and said that they are going to kill those who stand in their way and there will be no exception, and Tsunitori made a punch-line that seemed to intimidate the goons due to her not-so fluent Japanese sentences.
The goons asked Tsunitori if she knows what she is getting into and if she wanted to die, which Tsunitori seemed to be confused by the threats. There the goons decided to use the merchants as hostages so as to make the UA students stand down, and the merchants became terrified at the thought of being dragged in and begged them to keep them out of their conflict.
"WE'RE SORRY!"
"FORGIVE US!"
"SHOW US MERCY!"
"WE WON'T DO IT AGAIN!"
"JUST DON'T HURT US!"
"WE BEG YOU!"
"PLEASE!"
The other mafia goons came (Monkey, Snake, Rat and Tiger), and are ready to take the fight, but Kodai and Yanagi showed up and this resulted in a stand-off as the mafia goons and the UA students are poised to fight each other, and the merchants slowly backed away fearing that they might get caught in the crossfire, and there Koda tells Mineta to call for the police, which Mineta nodded and promised to get help and stop the mafia goons.
As Mineta takes his leave, the mafia goons are about to give chase but the UA students blocked their path and soon a brawl ensued between the two sides, with the teens intent to stop the goons' rampage whilst the goons are determined to get Mineta and take the herbs.
