It was early in the evening and everyone was ready for the raid. Once the team assembled, Centipeder started handing out warrants issued by the police.
"Keep these on hand at all times. These official documents, in conjunction with your hero licenses, will give you full authority to search the Shie Hassaikai hideout with no restrictions." He told the students. "You will also be authorized to directly arrest any villain you come across."
"Got it, Chief." Nia nodded.
"Man, talk about a great responsibility..." Denki muttered.
"We're basically on the same level as police officers," Minoru noted. "Talk about pressure!"
"I'm ready to kick ass and take names, Choomies!" Rebecca smirked, turning her arm into an electrified chainsaw.
"Hope you guys are ready for the real deal," Mirio said as he and Akira approached.
"Well, here goes nothing..." Ben said, adjusting his collar.
Atomic Samurai stepped in, taking charge as Futaba floated nearby.
"Thanks to Sakura-San, we have a full map of the underground base. Going down there is gonna be like running a dungeon gauntlet. The full force of the Shie Hassaikai is likely to stand in our way, and they'll be bringing their full Quirks against us. Here's the thing... They all fear Overhaul more than us. So the only way we're going to break their wills and get them to surrender rather than fight to the death... Is to bring down Overhaul, and prove he's not the strongest threat they've seen."
The Police Detective on the case started passing out copies of a list to everybody.
"These are all the known members of the Shie Hassaikai and their Quirks. We don't want to give them time to hide. Our aim is to apprehend all members as quickly as possible."
"Eri will be okay, right?" Haru worriedly asked.
Hilda nodded. "Yeah, she's gonna be fine. Tsunade came back to keep watch over her."
"Things are moving fast for us. The only other time I've interacted with the police was when they congratulated me and Mipha on helping Selkie deal with those smugglers."
"That was certainly exciting, wasn't it?" The Zora Princess smiled.
"You brats better get ready," Aizawa said as he approached. "Power-type heroes, like Midoriya, Bakugou, Torekuroshi, and Yasakani will be the first going in. That means you'll hit the first big wave of villains. Just remember your training. And keep in mind that the rank and file won't be that much stronger than the thugs from the first iteration of the League of Villains."
"Ah man, good memories!" Kirby laughed.
"So far so good," Overhaul noted as he drew out what he needed from the clone of Eri. "Now we just need to test if the new product is as effective as I need it to be."
"Boss, we have a problem!" Chronostasis called out as he ran in. "A bunch of cops and heroes are right outside. It looks like they're preparing to raid."
Overhaul sighed in frustration. "So they finally found us, huh? Damn it... We're not where we need to be yet. Have all soldiers move into position. And get the Eight Bullets assembled. Hopefully, they'll be able to slow the heroes down until we can finish the product."
Unbeknownst to the two, they were being watched by Saiko, Motoko, MX, Spinner, and Twice, who were staying nearby to keep the Eri Clone that Twice had made functioning. MX had used his powers to give everyone Invisibility Caps to hide themselves.
"It's over for you, Kai. Everything you built is going to come crashing down." Motoko scowled hatefully at her adoptive brother.
"This might be too much. These Yakuza types are used to living in the shadows. They see all these heroes and cops, they may just disappear." Rock Lock noted.
He quickly got proven wrong when a hulking man smashed his way through the front door. This was Rikiya Katsukame, one of the Eight Bullets. His attack knocked back several officers, who were saved when several of the heroes.
"NET!" Izuku shouted, using the [String-String Fruit] to catch the cops who flew into the air in a safety net of soft strings, Hilda doing the same with [Blackwhip].
"Whoa there!" Ben shouted, creating bubbles that safely caught some of the other cops in them and floated down before popping once they were on the ground.
"What's going on? It's too early for visitors." Katsukame grumbled as he grabbed two officers by their head, and he suddenly started getting even bigger.
"That's his Quirk, [Energy Suck]!" Rebecca scowled. "EAT SHIT, ASSHOLE!"
Rebecca opened up missile salvos in her shoulders and opened fire at Rikiya, whose bulky body tanked the explosive impacts.
"I've heard the Shie Hassaikai has a group of elites called the Eight Bullets. Their Quirks and personalities are said to be corruptions of the Eight Precepts of Buddhism." Morgana noted.
"Now I'm starting to wake up a little," Katsukame said as he pulled back his arm to throw a punch. "Why are you people here!?"
The punch launched a windstorm, and Morgana and Ben both leaped into action.
"VACUUM WAVE!"
"AIR!"
The sudden suction of air drew in the wind surge Katsukame created. This was an effect of Morgana's Quirk, [Razor Wind], which let him control all facets of air, even creating small vacuum pockets in midair. It also came with a secondary mutation that gave Morgana a humanoid appearance and human-level intellect similar to Nedzu's [High Specs].
"Double the Air Power!" Ben smirked as Morgana gave a cat-like smile in agreement.
Ryuukyuu was also activating her own Quirk, [Dragon]. This let her change into an actual dragon, but with her human intelligence still intact. This extra strength let her easily overpower Katsukame in spite of his increased strength.
"My agency can take care of him. Everyone else get inside!"
"Morgana! Help out as well!" Zenkichi ordered.
"I'll stick with 'em too!" Rebecca said, turning her fists into giant power gauntlets.
Atomic Samurai and Fat Gum had Tsuyu, Mipha, Ochako, and Nia help as well. More thugs were inside, using whatever Quirks they had to try and stop the police and heroes.
"I'm tracking something moving along the walls of the hideout! Practically inside them! Someone that strong must be high-ranking in this organization." Futaba noted while hovering on her UFO.
"Heh! He can't beat all of us together!" Katsuki smirked.
Overhaul was picking up the copy, still thinking it was the real Eri.
"While the Eight Bullets buy us time, we'll make sure any evidence of our plans is removed from this hideout. We'll continue elsewhere."
"We'll likely need to make a new hideout," Chronostasis noted. "I just got word that all our other bases got raided by the S-Rankers."
"Guess we'll have to owe Shigaraki and his little band another favor," Overhaul said. "But it'll be worth it once our goals are complete. Then... I'll wake the Boss up, and he'll see that I was right all along..."
"All Father will see is how much of a fucking monster you are, Kai..." Motoko's voice echoed, making Overhaul jump slightly as he looked around, only to find nothing.
"You hear something?" Chronostasis asked.
"Must have been my imagination..."
"Hey, Bakugou...what do you think of Midoriya?" Tamaki asked as he watched Mirio, Izuku, Hilda, and Ben charge in.
"A long time ago, the nerd was Quirkless and I...wasn't the best person to him." Katsuki said, looking back. "I mocked and belittled his dreams of becoming a Hero but I knew deep down in my heart that he had a more earnest drive to be one. I guess I lashed out at him...then he ate that fruit and got all those crazy-ass powers..."
"But you worked things out, right?" Tamaki hopefully asked as Katsuki silently nodded. "Well, me and Mirio have been friends for a long time. I was just a new transfer at school, and no one seemed to want to talk to me. Especially since my anxiety caused me to embarrass myself when I tried to make introductions. But Mirio... He just had that warm smile and talked with me like he had no reservations. On that day... He felt as bright as the sun to me."
"He certainly has that sunshine air around him..." Katsuki smirked. "But Deku...he's gonna change the whole goddamn world, I just know it."
Tamaki looked around. Several thugs were now pinned to the walls by Minoru's hairballs, Sero's tape, and a few energy nets fired by Rebecca. Many were debilitated due to Kyouka deafening them or Tooru blinding them. One thug tried to use his Quirk to create a concrete barrier, only for Yuuga to blast through it with his laser.
"The way these thugs are fighting... Did our plans get leaked somehow?" Flashy Flash pondered as he and the main team burst into the compound.
"I doubt it. Otherwise, they'd be fighting more cohesively." The Police Captain said.
"They're just trying to protect their boss," Aizawa suggested, "They're used to fighting together, and nothing matters more to them than their boss, the one who gave them a purpose in life."
"Either that or they fear the bastard that much," Ben said. "Either way you slice it though, we haven't seen any of the top brass outside. They're probably deeper in, making plans to flee like the dirty rats they are."
"Jeez, not returning the loyalty there. Forcing others to fight for you while running away isn't manly at all." Eijirou frowned.
"I sense a hidden passage!" Child Emperor said, having a visor that let him see objects of interest. "That flower vase!"
Nighteye stopped in front of it. "I remember seeing this in my vision. There should be a device under the vase."
He moved the vase and pressed some of the wooden slats in a specific order. Sure enough, the wall moved to reveal a secret door. The instant three Yakuza members came charging out, Centipeder easily subdued two of them by coiling his extended arms around them while Bubble Girl blinded the third with some foul-smelling bubbles that popped into his eyes before subduing him onto the ground.
"Go on! We'll take care of up here!" Bubble Girl said, ignoring the man's wailing.
"Hang on! That guy from earlier is starting to shift the interior to block us." Futaba called out. "I'll try to flush him out while keeping you guys up to date on the layout in case he tries shifting it."
"Thanks, Futaba!" Hilda smiled, giving a two-finger salute to the younger girl.
The team eventually reached another wall. Seeing how badly the wall was attached, Mirio poked his head through it using his Quirk.
"The path continues through here, just like Futaba said. Though this one was likely erected by Overhaul personally to slow us down."
"That ain't gonna fuckin' stop us!" Katsuki smirked, explosions already crackling in his hands.
"Stand back, gang!" Rikidou said as he scarfed down some chocolate bars and Twizzlers to boost himself up. "SWEET SMASH!"
The wall was quickly demolished by Rikidou's sugar-enhanced strength as Rock Lock gave out an impressed whistle.
"Looks like those kids deserve to be here after all."
"Hey! I think I got something!" Futaba called out as she felt the digital tentacles on her UFO go taught. "Whoa, it's strong!"
The whole hallway began to distort, shifting and twisting before everyone's very eyes. Nearby, Mimic, real name Joi Irinaka, had injected himself with Trigger to allow himself the strength to manipulate an entire building with his Quirk.
"Futaba! Irinaka needs to have at least part of his body exposed to perceive his surroundings!" Zenkichi called out. "If you find it, you should be able to pull him out of the walls!"
"We can't just stand here trying to find the way out. We know the direction we need to go, so let's just move through with whatever we have." Mirio said.
"True, these are just hallways, after all." Ben nodded in agreement. "They won't have the evidence we need, so there's no reason to be gentle making our way through them."
"Right now speed is of the essence, which is why Overhaul and his men are trying to slow us down." Child Emperor added.
Mirio phased through the walls while the other Power-types smashed their way through. Before everyone else could join them, the floor opened up below them, dropping them into a pit.
"Well, this here is inconvenient..." Fat Gum muttered.
"Uh, guys..." Ryuji nervously spoke up. "I think we were sent down here for a reason."
"Well, well, well... Looks like some state-authorized thugs crashed our party."
Three men were standing near the door, one with a burlap bag over his head, one with a plague mask, and the third with a flat face mask.
"Why does every villain insist on calling us thugs?" Zenkichi sighed asked as he got up and activated his comm link. "Futaba, need an update!"
"I can guide you back up. Right now I'm trailing Mimic to stop these shenanigans. Most of our Power-types are still ahead."
Zenkichi nodded as he hung up before looking toward the three punks.
"Toya Setsuno, Yu Hojo, Soramitsu Tabe. The so-called Garbage Trio of the Eight Bullets of the Shie Hassaikai. Psychological profiles note they've given up on life, and only live to help their boss.
"A tragic and foolish existence." Drive Knight said, shaking his head.
"Well, why don't we show them our skills!" Ryuji smirked as he, Makoto, Akira, and Tamaki stepped forward.
"Leave this to the pros, men. Guns are useless against Setsuno!" The Police Captain ordered.
"Someone's done their homework. But that just means I'm free to cut loose!" Setsuno laughed as he rushed forward with a katana, only to be blocked by blades of shadow made by Akira.
"You can only steal solid objects, and can only snatch what you can see. Shadows have no substance, and you don't have the eyes necessary to see in the dark. My Quirk is perfect to counter your [Larceny]."
"But that still doesn't get you past us!" Hojo pointed out.
"Actually, it does," Akira smirked, pointing behind the trio as they gawked when they saw he had warped the entire hero team, and the officers with them, right in front of the door.
Before the three thugs could react, they were wrapped up in octopus tentacles courtesy of Tamaki.
"A funny thing is Mirio's the one who gave me my hero name of Suneater. He said that if he was the sun, then I'd be the one who would eat the sun. That the only reason he was doing his best...was that he had me there to inspire him."
He proceeded to grab the guns and sword in his tentacles, which quickly changed into a crab claw to break them.
"I see you had a strong lunch before coming," Makoto noted before looking as the other heroes left through the door. "Mimic's not helping these guys out. Either he's prioritizing the police who got caught..."
Ryuji smirked. "Or Futaba's giving him a run for his money."
A girly scream echoed through through the halls, telling everyone all they needed to know.
"Kurusu-Kun! Make sure to keep Sneak Thief contained." Tamaki said to Akira. "Knowing Tabe's Quirk, he should be hungry enough to start using his own Quirk..."
"Food! Food! Food! Food! Food! FOOD!"
Tabe's mouth opened wide, biting through Suneater's tentacles. They weren't technically part of his body, so the damage was minimal.
"Crap!" Ryuji cursed. "His [Food] Quirk lets him instantly eat and digest whatever he can bite into.
"As for Hojo, his [Crystallization] Quirk lets him generate crystals from anywhere on his body," Makoto added.
"Glad to see you kids have done your homework!" Hojo said, sprouting sharp sturdy crystals over his head, back, and arms.
Setsuno quickly reached out to pull in the blade from his broken sword to attack, ignoring the blood coming from his hand.
"Your hero's code means you don't kill, but we've already given up on life, so we won't go down unless we're dead!" He snapped with a manic look in his eyes. "Hell, we've already given up on life, even tried to kill ourselves more than once! Until the boss gave us a reason to live. So if we can help the boss even a little, our lives will be worth it!"
"A nice sentiment and I can certainly see where you're coming from. But your boss is being targeted from both sides of the law." Tamaki said as he blocked Hojo's assault. "There's no helping him anymore. His time is done. And you'll be in jail when this all over, right beside him."
"Well said, Amajiki." Makoto nodded as she charged her arms with energy. "As for me, my [Nuclear Burst] Quirk lets me charge nuclear energy by literally splitting the atoms in my body. I can control the level, remove any harmful radiation, and in an open area I can punch with a force that mimics a nuclear bomb. I can even use the energy to manipulate molecules!"
Before Hojo could react, Makoto rushed toward him and pulled her energized fist back for a massive punch.
"COSMIC FLARE!"
The nuclear energy smashed right into Crystalline's stomach, flooring him in one shot. He tried to get up, only to find himself nailed again by Tamaki, who took on a more chimeric form.
"VAST HYBRID: CHIMERA KRAKEN!"
Tabe quickly moved in to try and bite through the large amount of tentacles like last time, only for Ryuji to get in his way with a blast of electricity.
"Taste my [Electric Storm], baby! I can control ionic energy, drawing in natural electrical energy and redirecting it and even harness bio-electric energy for all sorts of things!" He smirked. "Your Quirk can only let you digest anything solid or liquid. It's useless against transient energy like lightning!"
He crossed his arms and focused hard, electricity building up all around before he spread his arms out for one big attack.
"WILD THUNDER!"
Tabe screamed in pain as the electrical energy ripped through him, leaving Setsuno to realize he was the only one still standing.
"W-What the hell?! We weren't prepared for this!"
"It's about to get worse," Akira said, forming shadowy wings on his back, "You're not the only one chained to hell. Each of us here has stared into the abyss at one time or another."
"T-Then you should be just like us! Having given up on life and everything!" Setsuno snapped. "There's nothing for us! NOTHING!"
"There's a difference. We may have both looked into the abyss but when the abyss looked back... You blinked!"
Setsuno let out an animalistic scream of fury as he lunged forward only for Akira to thrust his arm out and send shadowy feathers at him.
"ABYSSAL WINGS!"
Setsuno found himself being sent flying into the wall, the sheer force rendering him unconscious.
"Awesome Batman reference, pal." Ryuji smiled, patting his best friend on the back.
"And pretty inspiring too." Tamaki noted.
Akira nodded. "It seemed appropriate."
Suddenly, a golden ring portal opened up, and a tall lanky figure that looked like an evil human version of Sonic the Hedgehog with black eyes, red pupils, purple crystalline tips in his hair, and razor-sharp teeth came out.
"Hey, thanks for picking up the trash for us, guys!"
The man, Shichirou Kobayashi otherwise known as Lord X, grabbed the Trash Trio and dragged them through the portal, which closed before anyone could react.
"W-Was that frickin' Lord X?!" Ryuji gawked.
"Something tells me he's thrown in his lot with the League of Villains..." Makoto noted.
"We can't focus on that right now. We need to regroup with the others." Tamaki said as everyone headed out.
Lord X here is a composite of both Xenophanes and Lord X from Friday Night Funkin; Vs. Sonic EXE as well as the general iconic Creepypasta itself.
Next, we see Team Eijirou take on the Spear and Shield of the Eight Bullets!
