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, the current story arc takes place as one of the main characters of MHA meets up with another support characters of One Punch Man, and this would result in a tension-filled, yet comedic moment as the two aforementioned characters share a similar attitude, which you would soon find out a the climax of this arc…
Well then, read on and enjoy!
Ch. 17: Saikikkushisutāzu to no deai part 2
Bakugo stared at Fubuki from head to toe, and is rather intrigued at hearing other shoppers whispering about her status as a pro hero, and wondered what kind of powers she possess, though he noticed that she is escorted by two men in business suits, who turn out to be her subordinates – Wild Monkey and Eyelashes.
There the two men noticed Bakugo and believed that he is leering Fubuki and approached the blond-haired boy, asking if he is staring at her in a perverted way, which Bakugo aggressively deny the accusation, and though he admitted that he did stare at her, he said he did not do it in a malicious way, which the two men did not seemingly believe him.
"You sure you're not acting perverted?"
"I bet you're imagining her naked…"
"I'm not, you knuckleheads…"
"Huh?"
"What?"
"I was staring at her because I heard she is a pro hero and am observing her to see what powers she possess…"
"You better not thinking of masturbating inside a toilet…"
"We punish perverts…"
"I said I'm not, you assholes!"
Tempers started to flare as the two men threatened Bakugo if proven that he is having perverted intentions, and Bakugo responded by challenging them to a fight, prompting Kirishima to intervene as tries to calm Bakugo down, while Midoriya attempted to mediate the misunderstanding here, though Kaminari and Mineta appeared to stay silent over this, yet this seemed to attract Fubuki's attention and seemingly decided to find out the cause of the disturbance, as she do not like wasting valuable time unnecessarily.
She asked Eyelashes and Wild Monkey what is going on here, and after being told, she stared at Bakugo and asked him if this is true, and he deny the accusations, saying he only stared at her after hearing word that she is a pro hero.
Fubuki stared at Bakugo in the eyes, and she can feel the aggressiveness in him, yet she can tell that he is not a perverted person and took the boy's word for it, and apologized for the inconvenience, which Bakugo just nodded.
Wild Monkey and Eyelashes asked Fubuki if she is fine with this, and she nodded, assuring that no malicious intent is found on Bakugo, and tells them to forget what just happened, which the two men reluctantly heeded.
"Yes, ma'am!"
"Yes, ma'am!"
"Now let us get on our way."
"Yes, ma'am!"
"Yes, ma'am!"
"And remember why we came here."
"Yes, ma'am!"
"Yes, ma'am!"
Midoriya sighed in relief as the possible conflict has been averted, but then a voice spoke thru the mall's speakers, announcing that a bomb that is as strong as the one that blew up Hiroshima during World War II is hidden within the mall, and challenged any pro hero here to find it, for it will detonate remotely in 180 seconds.
The UA students were taken aback if this threat is real or not, knowing that security is strict.
"Huh?"
"A bomb threat?"
"For real?"
"This has got to be a joke, right…?"
"Heh…a bomb, huh?"
"Ka-chan…"
"Where's the bomb?"
"Hold on, you guys…"
While the mall customers initially dismissed it as a prank, the bomber made his point when one of the escalators exploded, injuring a dozen victims and there the hidden bomber spoke via the speakers that he means business and that the escalator is just a sample, and warned everyone that attempts to escape the mall will trigger the Hiroshima bomb which not only blow up the entire building but the shock wave will also result in casualties that would reach Shibuya and nearby cities.
This causes everyone inside the mall to go into panic as they realize that they are trapped, resulting in a stampede which further aggravate the already tense situation.
"EEEEKKKK!"
"KKKKYYYAAAHHH!"
"HELP!"
"I DON'T WANT TO DIE!"
"EEEEKKKK!"
"KKKKYYYAAAHHH!"
"HELP!"
"I DON'T WANT TO DIE!"
Bakugo, Midoriya, Mineta, Kirishima and Kaminari are taken aback at seeing the panic it caused and are about to try calming everyone down when Fubuki uses her telekinesis to freeze the panicking shoppers at sight, and there she told the shoppers to calm down as she will try locating the bomb, and stated that panicking will only hasten the danger.
The shoppers were taken in by her words and did as told, and order was somewhat restored, as Midoriya uses the chance to rally his classmates ion finding the bomb, which Bakugo and Kirishima nodded while Kaminari and Mineta are told to evacuate the shoppers as calmly as possible, which the latter two quickly accepted.
"Sure!"
"We'll do it!"
"Leave it to us!"
"We'll look after the shoppers!"
"Go find the bomb!"
"And get it out of the mall!"
"We're counting on you guys!"
"Yeah!"
As Kaminari and Mineta are leading the shoppers towards the exit door, the shutters suddenly comes down and closes, where the hidden bomber spoke via the speakers and sarcastically apologized, saying that no one is allowed to leave, saying that witnesses are needed in order to witness how the heroes would find, and fail, in finding the bomb.
The bomber also said that anyone attempting to escape will be punished, and made his threat serious when another escalator was detonated and fell on top of the shoppers, injuring them immensely and once more triggered a panic, as the shoppers screamed in terror that they are about to be killed off.
"EEEEKKKK!"
"KKKKYYYAAAHHH!"
"HELP!"
"I DON'T WANT TO DIE!" ""
"EEEEKKKK!"
"KKKKYYYAAAHHH!"
"HELP!"
"I DON'T WANT TO DIE!"
Kaminari and Mineta are shaken by this and yet they tried to keep the shoppers from exploding into panic as they struggled to keep them under control, as a stampede is starting to take place and the two Class 1-A members are slowly being overwhelmed by the panicking shoppers as they began to attempt lifting the shutters.
Midoriya told Bakugo and Kirishima that they need to find the bomb as well as the bomber, seeing that this is what the bomber had intended, to sow fear and panic, and while Kirishima is ready to go, Bakugo didn't like being told off by Midoriya, yet he is compelled to take his lead for now if it would help in finding the bomb and flush out the bomber.
"Ka-chan…"
"Yeah, I know!"
"Help us in finding the bomb!"
"I'm on it!"
"Thanks!"
"Just don't order me around!"
"Okay!"
"Hmph."
"…"
Midoriya and Kirishima then went to separate floors to find the bomb, while Bakugo remained and looked around, where he glanced at his surroundings as Wild Monkey and Eyelashes go help Mineta and Kaminari in calming the panicking shoppers, and there Fubuki noticed that Bakugo is looking around his vicinity and she approached him, asking if he is looking for the bomb, which he said that he has a feeling that something is not right here.
By then the bomber said that only 120 seconds are remaining and said that in every 10 seconds that is WASTED, another escalator will detonate, and made his threat real as another escalator was dislodged and fell, almost hitting Midoriya in the process yet Kirishima made the save. He asked if Midoriya is okay, which the 9th user of One for All assured that he is okay.
"Midoriya!"
"Kirishima!"
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah."
"Good thing I got there in time!"
"Thanks for the save!"
"Sure!"
"Come on! we need to solve this case!"
As Bakugo glances at the speaker that is attached to the wall, he noticed that the wire is leading upward, and there Fubuki noticed the pattern and uses her psychic power to see if there are any connection, and instructs Bakugo to follow her lead.
Bakugo did not like it and said he is not following orders from someone with a HUGE BOOBS, and she got ticked by the remark, but she said that the safety of the shoppers rests in her and Bakugo's efforts to find the bomb and flush out the bomber. Though irritated, Bakugo is forced to accept the urging of Fubuki, and the two began investigating the speaker, and there she uses her psychic power to find a connection between the device and the bomber.
There she vaguely sensed an aura that emanated from the speaker's wire that goes way up, and there she realized that the bomber is located near the rooftop of the mall, and took Bakugo's hand as she led him towards the fire exit, and once there, he asked what is she intending to do, and is taken aback when told of what they are about to do.
Bakugo didn't like this yet Fubuki professionally told him that it is up to her and him to stop the bomber before he causes more injuries, and he gritted his teeth at being relegated to being a sidekick to a pro hero, yet he is forced to comply when assured that he will benefit from this.
"Trust me on this, young man."
"…"
"Well…?"
"Fine."
"Good."
"Let's get this over with."
"Then let us go."
"…"
Using her psychic powers, she levitated herself and Bakugo upward and they head towards the rooftop, but then as they are nearing it, she stopped at the last minute and glances at an air vent, where she uses her psychic powers to locate the bomber, and once she got a LOCK, she instructs Bakugo to use his powers to flush him out.
Bakugo smirked a bit as he is rather pleased at Fubuki letting him draw FIRST BLOOD, and uses his Explosion Quirk onto the air vent, where the strong impact sends the bomber out and falling off from the air vent, and Fubuki uses her psychic powers to catch him, who turns out to be an escaped test subject from a secret government facility who possess a limited psychic ability, and he is in disbelief at how Fubuku was able to find his hiding place.
There she demanded that he hand over the device that would set off the bomb so that she can diffuse it, but the foolish psychic refuses to concede, and presses the button and said that the bomb is located at the ground floor, and it will detonate in 15 seconds and will be as powerful as the one used by the Allied Forces during World War II, and not even Fubuku can stop the imminent explosion.
Fubuki and Bakugo are taken aback at seeing the vileness of the suspect, and using her psychic powers to use a metal bar to bind the bomber, she and Bakugo race back to the ground floor, where they saw the bomb being exposed and the timer is ticking at 10 seconds.
Midoriya and Kirishima are struggling to try lifting the bomb, which resembled a missile that is a big as a Christmas Tree, in order to move it out of the way, and the panicking shoppers screamed that they are about to be killed.
"EEEEKKKK!"
"KKKKYYYAAAHHH!"
"HELP!"
"I DON'T WANT TO DIE!"
"EEEEKKKK!"
"KKKKYYYAAAHHH!"
"HELP!"
"I DON'T WANT TO DIE!"
The psychic bomber laughed maniacally and proclaimed that his MASTERPIECE will be acknowledged and his name will live on, but someone unexpected came, and it turns out to be Tatsumaki, the pro hero who is the other half of the Psychic Sisters, and the panicking shoppers saw a glimmer of hope and they begged Tatsumaki to save them from the bomb.
"LOOK!"
"IT'S HER!"
"IT'S TATSUMAKI!"
"WE'RE SAVED!"
"SAVE US!"
"WE'LL ROOT FOR YOU!"
"GET RID OF THE BOMB!"
"SAVE US ALL!"
Using her psychic powers, Tatsumaki trapped the bomb inside a force bubble and slowly decompresses it, while crushing it at the same time, and the bomb is slowly turned and reduced into a small pile of junk, its circuitry damaged, and thus the bomb was safely diffused and not explode, thus saving the mall and the shoppers.
The shoppers were overjoyed and gave praise to Tatsumaki, which she smirked as she is pleased to get the praise, while at the same time they jeered at the UA students, calling them USELESS high school heroes who could do nothing.
"YAY!"
"TATSUMAKI SAVED US!"
"THANKS TO THE PRO HERO!"
"YEAH!"
"THE UA STUDENTS ARE USELESS!"
"WHAT A BUNCH OF AMATEURS!"
"UA HIGH WASTED MONEY ON THE LIKES OF YOU!"
"YOU KIDS GO HOME!"
While most of the Class 1-A boys opted to ignore it, Bakugo is pissed as he berated the shoppers for being ungrateful to the UA students who tried hard to protect the shoppers, but Tatsumaki told Bakugo to shut up since he didn't do anything useful, and Fubuki realized that things might get ugly if Bakugo were to engage in a shouting match with Tatsumaki.
However, the die is cast as Tatsumaki and Bakugo began shouting each other out and traded insults at one another, while Kirishima uses his Quirk to remove the shutters and produced an exit, where ambulances arrived to help out the injured.
This, however, is overshadowed as Tatsumaki and Bakugo traded insults, which became quite intense.
"WHAT WAS THAT, YOU BLONDIE?"
"YOU HEARD ME, SHORTY!"
"SHORTY?!"
"WHAT? WANT ME TO CALL YOU A DWARF?"
"ARE YOU INSULTING ME?"
"GOT A PROBLEM, YOU LOLICON?"
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING LOLICON, YOU SHOTACON?"
"YOU WANT TO DIE, YOU BRAT?"
To Be Continued...
Hope you liked this chapter, and though not much action is shown, other than some brief moments where Kirishima uses his Quirk to help Midoriya and the others while Fubuki and Bakugo uses their powers to flush out the bomber, and yet Tatsumaki shows up and took out the bomb, saving the shopping mall…
But hilarity ensues as Tatsumaki and Bakugo engages in a shouting match, which both sides realized the trouble with would cause if they are not pacified…
Other than that, this concludes the Psychic Sisters arc…
