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 Q-Bee arc is coming to an end, in which a brawl between members of the Soul Bees and the pro heroes are about to get into a climatic ending…however a BLOODY interlude is about to take place…which might set the stage for the next story arc…

Well then, read on and enjoy!

Ch. 10: Chimamire no shōkin kasegi

Sighing in annoyance as he felt that his pride as a DANGEROUS VILLAIN is being trampled, as well as disliking the idea of fleeing from what he perceive as a SMALL FRY RIVAL GROUP, Shigaraki is about to argue further about the idea of retreating, yet Kurogiri said that this is for the best as he stated that they are quite outclassed given that they have no idea how many of the Soul Bees are.

"Really, Shigaraki…this is the best course we could take at this moment…"

"Seriously…do we really have to retreat just because of those bitches looking like humanoid bees? Then use a FUCKING INSECTICIDE on them!"

"You saw what happened a while ago. We'd be in a disadvantage if we lose Gigantomachia…"

"…"

"Take my advise on this…!"

"No way! I'll just use Decay and…"

"Please don't be rash…!"

"Will you shut up already?"

Shigaraki was still too stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat, but when he saw more Soul Bees approaching, and at Kurogiri's urging with Ujiko giving him a rather stern advise, the League leader kicked a trash can in frustration as he reluctantly relented, forced to recognize the current situation as he couldn't believe that he would be forced to go on the run again yet Ujiko reminded Shigaraki that this is only temporary as the League Of Villains would only take refuge at the secret hideout underneath Jaku Hospital and wait for the pro heroes to get rid of the Soul Bees and once things are settled then the League can return to their usual hideout, which Shigaraki is conflicted at what Ujiko is suggesting to him.

"As I said…think of this as a temporary setback…"

"…"

"All you do is patiently wait at my secret hideout underneath Jaku Hospital. It's a bit cramped, but you'll get used to it."

"…"

"Then we let the pro heroes get rid of those new women while you and the League just relax. Once that problem is resolved then you may return to your hideout."

"…"

"It's a win-win situation for you, Shigaraki."

"…"

Shigaraki scratches his neck before screaming in frustration as he is forced to accept the current situation, and there he tells Mr. Compress to do something which the latter obliges as he uses his Quirk to COMPRESS the remaining League members, including Gigantomachia and there the compressed members are in Shigaraki's hands and there Kurogiri uses his Quirk and the Warp Gate appeared where Shigaraki and Ujiko entered the gate before Kurogiri followed and closes the gate.

There the Soul Bees looked around, confused as they wondered what happened as they tried to figure out where their prey went, as they were sure that they have a good source of PROTEIN after seeing Gigantomachia, but the Soul Bees seemingly didn't mind it as they settled with the corpses of the League members who got killed minutes ago after the Soul Bees infiltrated the League Of Villains' hideout.

"BBBBBBBBZZZZZZ…"

At this point, pro hero Snatch came and is horrified at what he just saw, and as the Soul Bees saw Snatch they shifted their attention towards him and began to charge him in swarms, and some policemen accompanying Snatch saw this and told Snatch to watch out as the cops draw their guns and are ready to open fire at the incoming swarms.

"Snatch! Look out! Men…on my signal, open fire! I repeat…wait for my order…then open fire!"

"Yes sir!"

As Snatch looks on, he sees that the Soul Bees are gathered in one area and are approaching him in a single swarm line, and there he gritted his teeth as he had to time this right before making his next move and as the swarm of Soul Bees are nearing Snatch, the other cops are on the verge of panicking yet the squad leader urged his men to wait for his call before opening fire, which the cops reluctantly nodded in acknowledgement.

"Yes sir!"

At this point, seeing that everything is in place, Snatch uses his Quirk and there he began to trap the swarm of Soul Bees within the sea of sands he produced and there the Soul Bees find themselves stuck in the sea of sand and they struggled to break free, trying to get their hands at the pro hero as they find him quite captivating to consume and satiate their appetite for human flesh.

Seeing that the Soul Bees have been momentarily immobilized, the squad leader realized that this is their chance and ordered his fellow cops to open fire and shoot the Soul Bees on the head and urged them to act immediately as this is the only chance they get, reasoning that if the Soul Bees break free they won't be stopped and taken down, which the cops nodded in acknowledgement.

"Now's our chance! Open fire! Shoot them on their heads! Do it now while Snatch has them immobilized! Fire at will! Of they escape we'll be finished!"

"Yes sir!"

There the cops went closer and began to shoot the Soul Bees on their heads at point blank range, and the bullets penetrate the Soul Bees' skulls, and fortunately this was enough to kill them and the police kept on shooting the Soul Bees as the bullets penetrate their skulls and soon all of the Soul Bees are killed on the spot and Snatch safely deactivate his Quirk after confirming that the Soul Bees are dead.

There the squad leader thanked Snatch for his help though the pro hero said that the police were a big help as well yet he expressed bafflement as to where the Soul Bees came from and wondered if they are a new experimental breed of Nomu, unaware of the Soul Bees' place and point of origin.

The squad leader expressed bafflement as well and admitted that he is unsure if they are really Nomu, but then he told his men to call for backup and have the dead Soul Bees placed in a body bag so as to prepare them for transport towards the mall, which the cops nodded in acknowledgement.

"Yes sir!"

Meanwhile, Hawks and Tokoyami are being driven to a corner as they are being surrounded by the remaining Soul Bees as Dark Shadow is doing its best to ward off the swarm while Hawks uses a pair of swords made from his feathers and managed to kill a few, but the heroes are not out of the woods as they are still being surrounded as the Soul Bees surrounded Hawks and Tokoyami, humming as they are preparing to consume their targets' body fluids.

"BBBBBBBBZZZZZZ…"

Thankfully the Endeavor Force arrive, as Burnin', Onima and Kido were the first to make their moves and use fire-based attacks to have the swarm scamper back before protecting Hawks and Tokoyami, which Hawks thanked the Flaming Sidekicks for the assist, which they said that it is nothing and thanked Hawks for holding the Soul Bees off which enabled reinforcement to arrive.

"No problem!"

"We should thank you for holding them off long enough for us to arrive!"

"So we're going to help you!"

"Appreciate the thought. Thanks, Flamin' Sidekickers!"

"No prob!"

"So let's work together!"

"And make some honey from them!"

"Sounds like a good idea…"

By then Endeavor and Todoroki showed up and uses their fire-based Quirks to start incinerating the Soul Bees after the former determined that the Soul Bees are NOT HUMANS after he and his team witnessed how the Soul Bees consume people using their stingers which reduced their victims to dried shriveled corpses after sucking away on their preys' body fluids.

Bakugo joined the battle as he uses his Explosion Quirk at maximum intensity after being instructed by Endeavor to use full power to kill them as he made it clear to his interns that the Soul Bees are not human at all and taking them down is their top priority, though Midoriya, using his Blackwhip Quirk to hold down the other Soul Bees, wondered why the Soul Bees vaguely resembled humans, yet Bakugo suggested to Midoriya to start watching HORROR MOVIES so that he could get some general ideas, much to Midoriya's discomfort.

"Eh? I can't possibly do that, Ka-chan…!"

"Better get used to it, Deku…at least it'll give you more BALLS…"

"…"

"You fought villains and mutant-types…so get used to FINISHING off those bee-bitches!"

"Uh…"

"Look at them! They're not human since they DRINK OFF their victims…like spiders leeching fluids off small insects! If you get caught it's game over for you!"

"Still…"

"Steel yourself, Deku! This is a life or death situation at the moment!"

Best Jeanist and his Sidekicks appeared and assists Midoriya in restraining the remaining Soul Bees but they resisted and surprisingly broke free, and there Hawks helps him and told Jeanist that unlike the Nomus, the Soul Bees are 98% not human because they FEED on humans, hence the need to kill them in a justifiable way.

"I see. So we kill them right away…"

"Yeah."

"So asking them to surrender is…"

"No can do. They're not negotiable…let alone that they are incapable of making conversation with them…"

"So, Jeanist…go all-out! Don't hesitate! If their stingers got you they're going to leech all of your body fluids like spiders drinking your essence!"

"You don't say…"

"And that's the bottom line!"

"…"

Endeavor agreed to what Hawks said and told the heroes available to kill them and don't let a single one escape, and the pro heroes and their interns went all-out and managed to kill all of the Soul Bees, and there police arrived to assist while feeling discomfort at seeing the charred remains of the Soul Bees, and there Midoriya shrieked as he saw a surviving Soul Bee grabbing a paramedic and uses her stinger to absorb his body fluid until the victim was reduced to dried, shriveled corpse before he died.

As the Soul Bee saw Midoriya she licked her lips and chose him as her target and moved as a very fast speed, and while terrified he instinctively responded and uses Full Cowling to match her speed and uses 15% of Michigan Smash and struck the Soul Bee on her chest, boring a hole and she was killed on the spot. Midoriya appeared to be in a state of shock as he unintentionally killed something that resembled a living being, but Bakugo told him not to feel guilty as the Soul Bees are not humans to begin with.

Jeanist placed a hand on Midoriya's shoulder and told him that his actions are justified as what Midoriya did was an act of self-defense and thus he is not guilty of anything, then Jeanist glanced at his sidekicks and instructed them to inspect and make sure that the Soul Bees are confirm to be dead, which the sidekicks nodded in acknowledgement.

"Yes sir!"

As more policemen arrived they began to place the dead Soul Bees inside the bodybags and prepared to take them to the morgue as they intend to find out about them and determine if they are a new breed of Nomu or not, while the pro heroes and their interns look on as Bakugo and Todoroki were trying to cheer Midoriya up.

Five days later…

At UA Academy, the scene shifts at the teachers' lounge where Hound Dog is giving Midoriya some counseling after being informed of what happened, and the teacher told Midoriya that he did the right thing as he said that the Soul Bees move very fast and if Midoriya didn't act he would become the next victim to die, and assured to the younger boy that he did nothing wrong.

"So stop blaming yourself since you were fighting against an enemy that is not human…hence you were under supervision from a pro hero, so you did not violate something."

"Yes, sensei…"

"Those bee-like beings…they're like some sort of canibals…they eat people like how spiders eat their prey…if you didn't retaliate you might have ended up getting eaten alive."

"Yes, sensei…"

"So feel proud that you saved lives, and don't let that pull you down. Understand?"

"Yes, sensei…"

"Good."

"Yes, sensei…"

Suddenly, Naomasa Tsukauchi came and he was gasping as he ran all the way here and there he grimly informed Hound Dog that his parents and other immediate family members were found dead at the Inui residence, causing Hound Dog to stand up in utter shock and disbelief at what he just heard.

Tsukauchi said that the neighborhood was startled after hearing loud sounds of gunfire and when a passing police car came after being told by neighbors the responding cops said that the Inui family members are all dead, their whole bodies were riddled with bullets and said that the assailant is HEAVILY ARMED AND DANGEROUS based on finding hundreds of bullet shells found at the crime scene, suggesting that the assailant uses what appeared to be a Tommy Gun or a sub-machine gun.

"…and that's what they told me…"

"No…"

"I'm sorry, Inui…I…"

"How…why…"

"I was told that there were no survivors…"

"Who is behind this?"

"The case is currently being investigated…"

"Tell me!"

Midoriya stood still as he couldn't believe what he just heard, and there Sansa, who came along with Tsukauchi, reluctantly showed the pictures sent to him and there the pictures showed that the Inui family members are all laid on the floor, bathed in a pool of blood while their whole bodies are riddled with so many bullets, which even the victims' heads were pumped with bullets that their facial recognition became almost impossible.

Just five blocks away from the scene of the crime, a person is seen walking casually away from the scene of the crime, and there a businessman showed up and approached the person, who appeared to be a female foreign teenager who is of 4'8 in height, and her attire somewhat resembled that of the famed Little Red Riding Hood as she wears a red-hooded cloak and the rest of her attire consists of a red dress, a white apron and red combat boots-like high-cut shoes.

The girl sports a blond hair and her face suggests that she is of European descent, and as she spoke, she is implied to be from Scandinavia, based on her accent, and there she appeared to be fluent in speaking in Japanese but still uses her Scandinavian accent, where it turns out that she is a BOUNTY HUNTER and is willing to accept any assignment, which includes assassination-type as long as the price is right.

"So your assignment is done, I take it…"

"Yeah. All done."

"Good. I was right in hiring you. Your talents are indeed FIRST-CLASS…"

"Thank you "

"As promised…here is your payment."

"Thank you."

"I hope your recent assignment satisfied you…"

"Well…there was a catch, though…"

Though the teen assassin lamented that her recently-concluded assignment was a bit of a lackluster as there was NO THRILL in killing the targets, who turn out to be the family of Hound Dog, she nevertheless accepted the assignment because the pay is good, but the client, who is revealed to be a dangerous drug dealer moonlighting as a businessman, holds a grudge against Hound Dog for his role in shutting down one of his drug-related business yet the drug dealer managed to conceal his involvement but deemed Hound Dog dangerous and wanted to eliminate him, which through unspecified circumstances, led to finding out about the Scandinavian assassin, leading to their current meeting.

The Scandinavian assassin, who seemingly appeared to be physically around 14 to 15 years old, is identified as Baby Bonnie Hood, though taking inspiration from the Hero names of the pro heroes around the world, she took the codename of Bulleta. There Bulleta asked if he has anything else to offer, which the drug dealer nodded and showed her the picture of Hound Dog, where she grinned as she said that she dreamed of SHOOTING DOGS of all types, and there the drug dealer said that Hound Dog is her next target, though he also showed her the picture of UA Academy and there he showed her a STOLEN blueprint of the UA Academy security system, and he asked her if she is willing to take the challenge, saying that Hound Dog rarely leaves UA Academy and if she were to accept this assignment she might have difficulty in assassinating Hound Dog, though Bulleta grinned as she finds this somewhat exciting.

"So this is the one I heard…the so-called UA Academy…"

"Yes. That's where your next target is…he is working as a teacher there…"

"He should go teaching at a dog school…he fits well there…"

"But you might have difficulty infiltrating that school as the security is…"

"Hee-hee-hee…"

"Miss Bulleta…?"

"This looked interesting…"

"Huh…?"

To Be Continued...

Hope you liked this chapter, as the Q-Bees arc finally concluded…and here the DREAM MATCH and WHAT IF scenario showed that the Soul Bees are not to be taken lightly…as Shigaraki was forced to retreat after being urged by Kurogiri and Ujiko to fall back after seeing that the Soul Bees are not to be taken lightly after CONSUMING several members of the League Of Villains…

Though the League Of Villains escaped, the Soul Bees are feasting on the corpses and would have threatened other parts of the city had pro hero Snatch not showed up and, with the help of some cops, managed to kill the Soul Bees.

Then the remaining Soul Bees are taken cared of as Endeavor, his sidekicks and interns arrived and finished them off, with Midoriya was forced to kill one out of self-defense, which seemingly traumatized him which required counseling from Hound Dog, who managed to convince Midoriya that he is not at fault for taking a life.

Then an unexpected ending took place as another Darkstalker appeared, who turn out to be Baby Bonnie Hood, as she was contracted to target the UA teacher by murdering Hound Dog's family as her employer wanted revenge due to Hound Dog shutting down his drug business, and it looks like B. B. Hood, aka Bulleta, is going after Hound Dog as she implies that she is seeking a THRILL by attempting to sneak inside UA Academy.

Since Bulleta said that she likes to SHOOT DOWN DOGS, there's a possibility that Jon Talbain, aka Gallon, might appear…though whether it be a cameo, a short appearance or fully making a story arc debut…I'll figure it out in the next several days or weeks…

Preview:

The next chapter will feature a new story arc where Baby Bonnie Hood make some attempts to infiltrate UA Academy as part of her contract to assassinate Hound Dog…

And at the same time a pro hero from Egypt requested aid from Uwabami as he needed her help in investigating something in Egypt, with Yaoyorozu and Kendo getting caught up in the mix…which would imply that another encounter with a Darkstalker would happen…

See you next month…
