Many thanks to those who read and reviewed this fic. I am really happy and this inspired me to bring in the next chapter, and here the characters from the two series make a prologue-like appearance as they are visiting a place, where things appear normal until a certain moment would take place which would foreshadow their eventual confrontation…

Well, read on and enjoy!

Ch. 2: Totsuzen no hōmon. Kōgeki e no purorōgu

Shibuya.

The place is one of the most popular areas within the prefecture, which is near Tokyo, where the place is bustling with people who are walking the busy streets, some riding vehicles, and others riding on bicycles. There are several types of people seen on the streets; adults, children, and even infants being carried by their parents. Businessmen, businesswomen, students, policemen, all kinds of persons are seen, and they were doing their usual activities as if they do not mind it.

Shops are open and the merchants are selling their merchandise and are enticing people to buy them in hopes of earning money. It was a typical day and it seems that people today are lively and felt that their lives are full of blessings and couldn't ask for anything more, as some are happy with stable jobs, students studying in the best schools, and more, and some even chatted with one another feeling that today is a good day.

"Hey there..."

"Today's a good day..."

"Ah...life is so good..."

"Let's have lunch...?"

"Will you be my girlfriend...?"

"Let's get married..."

"Stop right there!"

"EEEP! COPS!"

It was peaceful right now and many are in high spirits, especially as 90 % of the public are aware about a certain academy that teaches students to be…heroes. Pro-Heroes. That academy is UA High, where students with Quirks are studying there, and upon graduation, they became public pro-heroes who fight crime and protect the citizens.

Among the heroes identified being connected to UA High is the famous All Might, and it was due to him and his exploits that most of japan is safe and crime rate declined to nearly an all-time low. Many expressed admiration and hoped that the students who are currently studying at UA High would graduate and become famous and reliable like All Might.

"All Might is the man!"

"He's a hero!"

"I hope that someone would succeed him…"

"I really hope that the next hero would be All Might's successor…"

"Looking forward to it…"

"And kick those villains' butts…"

"Me too…"

"Yeah…"

The scene later shifts to a certain area, where business is thriving the area is frequently being besieged by customers which are a mix of adults and teenagers, and they appeared to be avid collectors, as they are looking and buying second-hand items which are technological in nature, and their reasons for patronizing the said shops are purely economical in nature - cheaper prices and practicality. You can see several shops selling HOT items for cheaper prices, such as smartphones, android tablets and even laptops, and despite being second-hand items, they appeared to be in good working conditions, and some of the customers are willing to buy them as long as their desired items are working fine as well as to save money for budgetary reasons, and the merchants are using subtle means in enticing passing customers.

"Hello...please by our items..."

"They are cheaper..."

"...they are in good working condition..."

"You can try them if you like..."

"I promise you will like them..."

"I promise you will get your money's worth..."

"Here are the items on our display..."

"Pick the one you like..."

The area in question turns out to be Akihabara, and the area is thriving and many merchants set up shops to attract passing customers and entice them to buy their products by showing the items and offered cheaper prices while assuring them that the items are in good working condition, and their marketing strategy worked as some passing customers were intrigued after hearing that so e gadgets are being sold in cheaper prices, and they began asking the merchants what items do they sell, and the merchants showed to the customers the items they are selling, ranging from smartphones to android tablets and even laptops.

Then the scene shifts to another nearby shop, where a merchant is also selling second-hand items, but unlike the other shops, this merchant is selling something else and is catering avid collectors, and the scene shifts inside the shop where you can see the items being sold, which turn out to be classic console units and games, all being displayed on the shelves, and one by one you can see the following consoles being on display, which are:

- Nintendo Famicom

- Super Famicom

- Sega Genesis

- Game Boy Color

- Game Boy Advance

- Neo Geo

- Sony Playstation

- Sega Saturn

- Nintendo 64

In a matter of minutes customers passed by the shop, and most of them are avid collectors and fans of video games, and they were immediately intrigued by the items on display and they looked at the items, as some appeared to be unaware that such classical consoles actually existed, and they began asking the merchants if those consoles and its games are really something to be owned, which the merchant nodded and assured to them that the classic games are RARE, and are fun to play with, saying that even with popular games today that are released on current consoles such as the Sony Playstation 4, the Microsoft X-Box One and the Nintendo Wii, the consoles on display are even COOLER due to its nostalgia factor.

"Are they really cool compared to today's consoles?"

"Yes...they are cool..."

"Seriously?"

"Yes, sir...they are the very first games...and they are the popular ones in its heydays...and they are RARE to find..."

"Hmm..."

"Would you like to try them...?"

"..."

"I promise you will not regret it..."

And everything went peaceful and harmonious, but little do everyone else know that something unexpected is about to happen without any warning. And with no signs of when it is going to happen.

The scene shifts in Yokohama, which is deemed the Chinatown of the area, due to Chinese immigrants, residents and even those who are married to Japanese persons, which you can see that they are getting along well with the Japanese residents there as they bore no ill-will or grudge against the Chinese people who are doing an honest living.

The scene shifts further within the Chinatown area of Yokohama, as you can see that there are lots of stalls and stores selling Chinese-made products, and many are flocking the stalls to buy the products despite some of the customers are Japanese, and they find interest in buying some of the products made from China.

As you can see, despite the stalls not being much extravagant, business in Chinatown is doing well.

"Hey, please come here!"

"We are selling very good items!"

"We are offering 70% discount!"

"They are very cheap to buy!"

"Free trial!"

"Offer goods while supplies last…"

"Please come over!"

"We will assist you!"

Perhaps the most prominent products being a hot commodity from the stalls are products that are associated with Feng Shui, and other Chinese products that are connected to fortune telling and luck charms, which eventually became the talk of Chinatown, despite the fact that the current season is summer.

The Chinese merchants began to promote selling fruits and other products and claimed that they are well-suited for any occasion of the season as they can bring good luck to those who buy the fruits and products, which attracted and piqued the curiosities of the shoppers.

"Come over here!"

"We sell any items suited for any season! Spring...summer...Christmas...you name it!"

"They are cheap to buy!"

"We offer good luck charms!"

"Good for summer and Christmas!"

"Have a look!"

"I am sure you will like it!"

"Free trial here!"

There someone came to visit the place, as he is on an errand to buy something that is meant to give it to someone. Some of the merchants were slightly taken aback at seeing a certain shopper's appearance, as they never thought they see someone whose appearance was...different. The certain shopper turns out to be Genos, as he is told by someone that a popular ingredient used in making a very delicious Chinese food can be found in Chinatown, and Genos came here after someone recommended him regarding the place.

Carrying a shopping bag, Genos went to different stalls and made inquiries if they have this certain ingredient in a polite manner, and this act puts the merchants at ease seeing that Genos is a good person despite his appearance as a cyborg.

"Well...about that..."

"Yes?"

"I'm afraid I do not have that particular ingredient."

"..."

"I'm sorry."

"I see..."

"My apologies if..."

"No, it is alright."

One of the merchants happened to heard of a shop where the ingredient that Genos seek, and gave him directions on where to go, and advised Genos to head there as soon as possible due to the ingredient is a rare commodity and gets sold out very quickly.

Genos thanked the merchant for the information which the merchant said it is nothing.

"I thank you, sir...for telling me."

"Ah, it is nothing."

"I appreciate it...for informing me."

"Ah, sure...sure...no problem."

"I am grateful to you."

"That's nothing. You better go...or the ingredient you seek will be sold out soon."

"Yes, I will leave immediately."

"Good luck, young man."

After that, Genos bowed and left, heading to the direction that the merchant instructed him, and the other merchants glanced at Genos, where they wondered if he is really a person or otherwise, due to seeing his cybernetic arms despite him wearing clothes.

They began to debate whether he is a member of the League of Villains or not seeing that it was the first time seeing Genos in Chinatown given that he has never been seen on the news.

And opinion about Genos is somewhat divided.

"Did you see that?"

"He looked...scary..."

"Is he a robot?"

"I never seen him before...not even on the news."

"Must be one of those Leagues that I heard..."

"But that guy looked like a kind man."

"Maybe a good guy...?"

"Suppose he is merely..."

Elsewhere, another group of people are seen walking by the marketplace of Chinatown, where they turn out to be teenagers, and are shopping for ingredients to make a very delicious Chinese cuisine. Some of the merchants stared in awe as they recognized the three teenagers passing by them and were all smiles the moment they recognize the passing teens.

The teenagers in question turn out to be students of UA High, and they are identified as:

- Hiryu Rin

- Pony Tsunotori

- Neito Monoma

It turns out that Hiryu is Chinese and that he is a frequent customer in Chinatown, and when his status as a UA High Academy student is publicly known, the Chinese merchants took pride and whenever Hiryu comes by they would offer him a discount, which Hiryu politely decline, though there are times when he accepted the discount on certain occasions.

Hiryu happened to invite Pony to tag along as he wants to cook a very delicious Chinese food, and she accepted as she wanted to try a Chinese food due to her being a foreigner studying in Japan, as well as she spend most of her time eating Japanese food that she wanted to try a Chinese food for a change, to see how delicious they are.

Along the way, Monoma passed by and saw the two and asked if he can tag along, which Hiryu said it is fine, and the trio would go from stall to stall, asking if they have a certain ingredient, and the merchants kindly said they do not have that certain ingredient, which Hiryu said it is okay and thanked them for telling him.

"Well...about that..."

"Yes?"

"I'm afraid I do not have that particular ingredient."

"..."

"I'm sorry."

"I see..."

"My apologies if..."

"No, it is alright."

However, one of the merchants said that he happened to heard of a shop where the ingredient that Genos seek, and gave him directions on where to go, and advised Hiryu to head there as soon as possible due to the ingredient is a rare commodity and gets sold out very quickly.

Hiryu thanked the merchant and he tells Pony and Monoma that they better get there before they miss out that ingredient. Pony asked Hiryu if he really need that ingredient, which he nodded saying that the ingredient he seek is the main component to make a very delicious Chinese food that his great, great-grandfather passed onto him.

"Rin-kun...do you really need to get that particular ingredient?"

"Yes, Pony. I need it."

"Surely there are other..."

"No...the one ingredient that I seek is the one thing I need in order to complete the recipe, otherwise the food I intend to cook will not materialize."

"I see."

"I have the directions...let us head there right away."

"Okay."

"Good."

After that, the trio left, and the merchants waved at Hiryu, pleased to see that a fellow Chinese is a UA High student, and are even hoping that once he graduates, Hiryu would become the first Chinese-born pro-hero.

As Hiryu, Pony and Monoma are leaving, they did not notice that a few League of Villains members, who appeared to be new recruits, are seen nearby, and they seemed to regard Hiryu's group as threats for some reason. The unseen villains appeared to resemble Chinese mafia gangsters, and they learned about what Hiryu and his friends are up to, and intend to beat them to the punch as the mafia men are also after the coveted ingredients.

"You hear that, boss?"

"They're also after that ingredient we seek."

"I hear it, boys."

"We need to get there before those brats do."

"Yeah, and maybe beat them up."

"I know a shortcut...and I got an idea. Follow me, boys."

"Yes, boss."

"Yes, boss.
