Trigger Assault arc Part 2
Recruitment
- "Attention to all passengers, next train leaving to Hosu will depart in 10 minutes in the platform 3, thank you."-
That's what Yamikumo heard though the megaphone from the station. He was already in the train to Hosu, why? You ask, since last night reunion with the other vigilantes, they concluded that they needed help for the job they would do in a week. He was currently trying to recruit the only person he new could help, the problem is that this person is currently in Hosu and it is very likely that he will reject the request for help. The train started moving, he proceeded to check his phone for the hour.
- "Good. By the time the train arrives to Hosu it will be nighttime, the perfect time to find him."-
He then proceeds to put on his headphones and listen to music while playing in his phone meanwhile he arrives to Hosu. He then remembered the reaction of Kinoko when he told her about this job.
Flashback to this morning.
- "You are doing what?!" –
That was Kinoko, she was shocked about what Yamikumo told her.
- "What you heard; I'm going to Hosu tonight to recruit him for help in this job." –
- "Yeah, but why are you doing this? It's very dangerous."
- "I know but is the right thing to do. Besides I'm nit alone there's gonna be more people in there." –
- "I know, and I know you are strong but that doesn't mean that I can't be worried about you." –
- "Don't be, we have the government's permission for quirk usage, and if we succeed there will be no consequences."
- "IF you succeed, but what about you don't, you will be arrested." –
- "I'm a minor I won't be sent to jail. Besides you worry too much, I'll be fine you'll see." –
- "Fine, I'll trust you but with one condition." -
- "Shoot." –
- "When you succeed you will take me somewhere nice as an apology for worrying me" –
- "I promise I will. Now if you excuse me, I have to prepare for my travel to Hosu" –
- "Okay see you later then. Please come back safe."- She said the last part quietly and holding her chest tightly.
Yamikumo just turns to her and gives her a warm smile which makes her blush and leaves.
He then arrives at home and prepares to go to Hosu, a few hours later he is ready and heads to the train station but before he has to tell Akane that he needs to go to Hosu.
- "Hey Akane-san I'm heading to Hosu, see you in a few days, don't worry I still have some money."
- "Okay, sure don't forget your sweater."-
He then heads to the train station.
Flashback end.
After remembering that he concentrates on his game without knowing that two pair of eyes were watching him.

…
We are now located in Musutafu again, to be more precise we are in a store where an interesting scene was happening.
Two persons were robbing a store, the first one was a man with a refined appearance. He has a slicked-back hairdo with a curl at the front and sports a handlebar mustache along with a well-kept, medium-sized beard. His clothes are also quite extravagant, featuring a dark purple jacket with enlarged collars and coattails, a pair of loose, pinstriped pants, and two belts. He also wears a pair of cuffs and a woolly scarf. He also has a can which he uses to walk.
The other is a very short young woman with quite a large, round head, compared to her narrow body. She has raspberry pink hair, which she wears up in two high pigtails, wide and thick at the top and thin at the bottom, the ends curved upwards to the sides at her waist, their edges trimmed straight. She has a single bang in the middle of her forehead, swept pointedly to her right, and very large, pointed-down eyes with dark rings on the underside of each, two longer eyelashes to each far side, which take up most of her face. Her irises are oval-shaped, pink in color, and each has two circles between their small pupils and their rims, giving them a rather hypnotic look.
Her outfit is quite elaborate, consisting of a big white bow at her neck, matching the thick gloves she wears, an indigo shirt with large buttons and long, upturned frilly sleeve cuffs, and a pair of white, pinstriped pants which are very poofy, making her legs seem bigger than they are. She sports several heart motifs, such as heart earrings, heart-shaped buckles on the two thin, golden belts around her waist, and a wide heart design over the tops of her legs. She also wears dark tights underneath her pants, over which she wears a pair of shiny high-heeled boots.
- "Hands up everyone, this is an assault, please put all the money in the bag, also put all the tea in the bag too. Hey, La Brava, are you recording this?"
- "Yes Gentle, you'll look so handsome."-
- "Good, this is gonna be the best one from all, at least for now."-
When the employees finished filling the bag, he and her partner exit the store, but the police were already in the place.
- "Hands up Gentle Criminal, you are under arrest, this also goes for your partner."
- "I don't think so, this is not the end of my gentle apparitions."-
After saying this he grabbed La Brava and with the help of his quirk he started jumping far away from the scene, the police were unable to keep up with him.
Gentle Criminal.
Quirk: Elasticity.
Quirk allows him to bestow the property of elasticity to anything he touches, making it stretchable, bendable, and bouncy. This Quirk can affect anything, from the ground to the air itself. Danjuro cannot cancel the effects himself, instead, the effect wears off on its own after time has passed.
By making the air elastic, it becomes a circular invisible membrane that floats in midair, which he can use as trampolines to get around quickly, as shields to deflect his opponent's range attacks or move them around the environment to his advantage.
After escaping from the police, they landed on a nearby alley.
- "La Brava, end the recording, prepare the video and publish it."-
- "Yes Gentle."-
They where about to leave but three persons stopped them.
- "I see you haven't change Gentle."- Said the big one.
- "O'clock or should I call you Knuckleduster now."-
- "Hahaha, I see your humor hasn't change either."-
- "It is nice to see you, old friend but I have to ask. Who are those that are with you? And more important what do you want?" –
- "If you promise to listen until the end, I will tell you everything"-
- "Okay, go on then"-
Knuckleduster then proceed to introduce The Crawler and Pop Step to Gentle, then he explained everything about the Assault to QHC.
- "I see, but why do you need us?" –
- "Actually, we need specifically her." – Knuckleduster said pointing at La Brava – "But, since we need more people, and you are always with her we will recruit you as well." –
- "But why me?" – Asked La Brava.
- "Well, we need a hacker, and you are the only one we know, and you are a damn good one. I saw you hacking into a lot of sites, government included, and you haven't been tracked." –
- "I see, but anyway, you are vigilantes and I see that you can have this temporal permission, but what about us? We are criminals, we help you and as a reward they arrest us."-
- "Don't worry, we already talked about you with the government, since you are a low tier criminal, they are willing to clear your criminal record, hers as well."-
- "I guess doing some good stuff is good. Well, I'm in. But I don't know about her."-
- "Whatever you do I'll go with you Gentle, so I guess I'm in too."- Answered La Brava.
- "Good, this is the reunion point and date, we'll see you there."-
- "Okay. La Brava, prepare the cameras, this our first good video."-
- "Oh yeah. I forgot you can't record anything of this."-
- "What? Why?"-
- "It's a dirty job for the government, remember?"-
- "Fine. Let's go La Brava."-
After they leave, the trio was left standing there.
- "Interesting character am I right? Or am I right?"- Said Pop Step.

A new scene change, now we are ubicated in a nice house where three persons are waiting for someone.
Mai Shiranui, Takeo and Sayumi were waiting for their friend and Vigilante partners Kuai and Hanzo.
- "Why are they always late?"- Asked Mai.
Just when she finished the question two guys entered the house.
- "Oh look. They are here."- Said Sayumi.
- "Good you are here. Now tell us about this job you were talking about."- Said Takeo.
- "First off all, hello. Now about this job…"- Kuai started explaining everything to the trio.
- "And that's why we need your help." – Finished explaining Kuai.
- "Okay. Let's do it. It's the first time we would be able to be heroes, at least for one night."- Said Sayumi quickly.
- "That was fast"- Said Hanzo with a Poker face.
- "Yes, my hive is eager to help."-
- "…Okay. What about you Takeo? Mai?"- Asked Hanzo.
- "I see you require my help. In that case I'm honored to help."- Said Takeo with a slight bow.
- "Sure, I mean everyone is in, so I won't be out."- Said Mai.
- "Good. This is the reunion point and date, for now let's prepare for the assault."- Said Kuai.

- "Attention to all passengers we arrived to hosu"-
Yamikumo snap out from his sleep, looks like he felt asleep at the train. He quickly composed himself grabbed his backpack which contained his Vigilante outfit, how did he managed to sneak in a Katana is a mystery. He then got out the train and went to a safe place to change into his outfit. But he failed to see two figures staring at him from the station.
- "So, that's the one you are interested in?"- The tall figure spoke in a tired tone.
- "Yes. I've been watching him for a year now." – The small figure spoke, he looked like a small animal. - "I want him"-
- "Do you realize he is a Vigilante"-
- "Yes. But technically he hadn't broken any law. He never uses his quirk not even in his vigilante work."-
- "Should I go and talk to him?"-
- "No. Not yet. Let him finish what he has to do, then I will personally talk to him. But I have the sensation that we aren't the only ones that are interested in him."- He then looked at the nearest rooftop and saw a muscular figure looking in the same direction where the boy went with a big smile in his face.
…
…
…
Fame, money, and girls, those were the reasons of why the pro hero Wildvine became a hero, he now was chasing a dangerous villain that way he can climb at the heroes ranking.
- "I know you are here villain. Show yourself so I can catch you!"-
Before he could react four knifes cut him in the legs, he then fell in the floor bleeding, a figure grabbed one of the knifes and licked it, at this moment he couldn't move.
- "What did you do?"-
The figure in question is an intimidating, muscular man who walks with a distinct hunch, and has a flat, somewhat-triangular face without a nose and an extraordinarily long tongue, tainted with numerous small papillae. He has rather long, black hair, which he wears in a messy fashion; it would drape over his face if not for his headband and mask, and small red eyes with tiny irises.
He sports a dark combat suit, plated with metal armor across his body to holster his weapons. The torso is sleeveless, so he instead wraps his arms in yellow bandages, all the way from just below his shoulders to his wrists. He also wears long black wristbands and a watch on his left arm, and his knees are protected with metal pads, the costume completed by black boots with steel armor. He always dons his signature blood-red scarf and matching headband, as well as the tattered cloth he wears around his face as a mask.
- "Clean this society from fake heroes like you."-
After this the figure stabbed him in the head killing him instantly.
- "This society is dirty with those who only seek money and fame, fake heroes, I shall clean this society and make it better, all the fakes has to die, that's what this society needs, and I? I am the instrument for that."
After this speech some claps can be heard, the man turned only to see Headhunter clapping at him.
- "I see you now like speeches, Stendhal, or should I call you Stain, the Hero Killer now?"-
- "You. What are you doing here kid?"-
- "Normally I wouldn't care about what are you doing, but this time I will need your help."-
- "I trained you, you don't need me anymore."
- "As I said, in a normal situation I wouldn't ask for your help, but this isn't a normal situation, so I ask that you please listen to all I have to say." -
- "Fine. Speak quick, I have work to do"-
- "Thanks."-
Yamikumo then explained everything about the assault to QHC to Stain.
- "So, what do you say?" –
- "Look for someone else, I won't help you, I don't care about this. Now if you excuse me, I have some cleaning to do."-
- "Come on. You are the only one I can ask for help. If you don't care, at least do it for me, please. For the old times."
Stain was silent for a few seconds but for him were minutes, he remembered that time three years ago when he was training Yamikumo, even if he didn't admit it, he actually enjoyed his time with him.
- "…Fine. I will help. But I'll do it for you, and this will be the only time I help you. Understood?"-
- "Yes. Thank you. Here, this is the reunion place and date. I hope you keep your promise and arrive there."
- "Yeah yeah. Now leave."
After this Yamikumo just leave him alone, he then decided to do some patrolling that night.

…
A week later.
Yamikumo was heading at the meeting point, today was the day, he was prepared and expected the same from the rest. He quickly checked his phone he saw the message he received from Kinoko.
Good luck and please come back alive, you have to be there for me when I become a hero.
- K 3
He only smiled and quickly answered.
Don't worry, I will.
- Y
He then saved his phone and arrived at the meeting point, everyone was there he recognized Stain, The Crawler, Pop Step, Knuckleduster, Scorpion and Sub-Zero.
He also recognized Gentle Criminal and his partner La Brava.
He arrived and was introduced to the rest of the Vigilantes.
The first one was a woman that looked in her early twenties, she sports a blue and black suit with dark gloves and boots. Her hair is held up in a high bun by a mini hairpin and a blue ribbon wrapped around her head.
She was Kitana.
The other was a female figure, her physical appearance draws on several insect motifs. Her skin takes the appearance of a yellow chitinous hide with four wing/pincers jutting out from her back. The back of her head is adorned with black markings and her lips are naturally black. On the heels of her feet are what looks like high heel wedges. Her eyes are compound, possessing the same fractured appearance as a fly's eyes. All of her teeth are sharp and pointed, exhibiting possible carnivorous eating habits. She also wears a black top and hood, spiked gauntlets on her arms, armored ringlets on her forearms, and armored shin guards. A single scarab-shaped piece of jewelry with a green centered gem rests around her neck.
She was D'vorah.
The last one was a dark skin male, glowing blue eyes, no hair on his and has a toned physique. His whole body seems to be attached by pieces. His outfit consisted in simply dark blue jeans and black boots. Two fingerless gloves with metal plates in the back of his hands. He was shirtless.
He was Geras.
There was also a caravan in the road.
- "Now that we are all here let's review the plan."- Said the Crawler – "We are dividing into four groups, we are lucky this building is located outside of the city, no one will notice the attack, now Team Infiltration will be Pop Step, Knuckleduster, and I, we will infiltrate the QHC building and search for the Trigger production and destroy it we will also destroy the recipe."-
Knuckleduster and Pop Step nodded.
- "Team Rearguard will be La Brava, D'vorah and Geras, you will stay in the caravan, La brava will hack the security system from the building she will also handle the information, she is the most important member, D'vorah and Geras will stay and defend her in case they discover her location."-
Geras and D'vorah nodded, La Brava was a little bit nervous.
- "Don't worry you'll do it very well." – Said Gentle to calm her.
- "Yes." – She said with confidence and with a slight blush.
- "Next, Team D1 will be Scorpion, Sub-Zero and Gentle, you will make a distraction attack from the left side of the building, this attack will distract the people inside and will give the Team Infiltration a free window."
Gentle, Sub-Zero and Scorpion nodded.
- "Lastly, Team D2 will be Stain, Headhunter and Kitana, I'm not gonna lie yours will be the most difficult, you will do a frontal distraction attack, this will make with this they will take most of the attention, the problem is that you will be faced by most of the security robots."
- "Wait. Robots?"- Asked Kitana.
- "Yes. The company has used a part of their money to make their own security they built robots, a lot. The problem is that these robots have a self-repair system that makes them harder to defeat, team D1 and D2 will have to face them, Team infiltration might also face them if we are discovered, and Team Rearguard will have to face them if they manage to track La Brava, that's why I'm leaving D'vorah and Geras with her."-
- "Well shit"- That was Kitana's reaction at this information.
- "Is everyone ready?"- Asked the Crawler.
Everyone nodded.
- "Good, let's go."-
- "Wait!"- Screamed Pop Step.
Everyone stared at her.
- "We need a motivational speech from the leader."-
Everyone now stared at The Crawler.
- "Okay."- He cleared his throat.
- "For a while we have done good deeds, without asking anything for exchange, no recognition for our actions, even hatred from some. But now is our night, we will demonstrate what we are capable of, we may not all know each other completely, but today we will trust each other, we will work as a team, together as comrades we will win, today we will do the right thing, like every day, but this time we will not be vigilantes, we will not be criminals."
Everyone had confident smiles, they were motivated to win.
- "Stain, D'vorah, Geras, Kitana, Gentle, La Brava, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Headhunter, Knuckleduster, Pop Step and The Crawler, tonight we are all Heroes!"-
After this speech everyone got into position, the assault was about to begin.
To be continued.
Author Notes:
So yeah. Here we are.
This was a hard chapter to write usually it takes me 1 – 2 hours to finish one chapter but this one took me 7 hours but really like how it ended.
Now, stuff to say:
-Finally, the Trigger Assault team is complete. Do you like the members?
-Secondly, for Kitana, D'vorah and Gera's names I had to invent them since those are the actual names from those character. Also the appearance of them are the same as the Mortal Kombat games, more specifically the MK11 one.
-I still need suggestion for Izumi's (Yamiukmo's unknown sister) pairing so please leave your suggestion.
-Lastly, I drew the Akazi Brothers from the past arc, you can check it in my DeviantArt. (I love to make Spam)
Nothing more to say I hope you like it.
As always please leave any comment, review, suggestion, or question about the story, of course always with respect.
So yeah. That's all for now.
Bye Bye.
