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 is ongoing, which picks up where the last chapter left, as Hound Dog is under attack due to another Darkstalker who uses a sadistic sneak attack which drags the students of UA Academy into an unintentional mess…but that might change once you read below…
Meanwhile two UA students are set to encounter another Darkstalker that would bring them to Egypt, which fans might find this familiar…
Well then, read on and enjoy!
Ch. 12: Doggufaito, Ejiputo no sōgū e no makuai
The scene shifts at the Musutafu Airport, where it is revealed that fours hours earlier, Yaoyorozu and Kendo were immediately dispatched and sent to the airport where their Hero Mission would commence once they arrive in Egypt, and as the two girls are at the waiting area, some of the passengers were awed by the beauty of Yaoyorozu and Kendo.
"Look at that…"
"They're from UA Academy…"
"You're right…"
"Yaoyorozu and Kendo…"
"Wow…those two are quite the hottie when up close and personal…"
"Such a pair of beauties…"
"Wish I was younger…wanted to date them…"
"Me too…"
The two girls sighed but waved at the admirers but then things got a bit loud when someone suddenly appeared, who turns out to be Uwabami, which Yaoyorozu and Kendo were taken by surprise seeing that she is also on a trip, and there Uwabami revealed that she was contacted by Salaam and said that she too would be coming to Egypt alongside the two girls, much to Yaoyorozu and Kendo's disbelief.
"Huh? Salaam invited you?"
"Seriously?"
"That's right. He told me that you two were also invited and said that I should join you two on the same flight."
"Er…fine…but this will be a hero mission…so there's no photoshoot or anything like…"
"That's right…I doubt Salaam would…"
"Oh, don't worry. Salaam and I already talked…and he agreed that after the hero mission I would do a commercial at Egypt…with you two as my models…"
"Huh?"
"Eh?"
"Hee-hee-hee…"
By then the telecom blared where the speaker spoke and announced that the boarding flight bound for Egypt is ready for boarding, and there Uwabami told the two girls that it's time to get onboard the airplane and Yaoyorozu sighed as she is worried that the Snake Hero might turn the international Hero work into another modeling job, though Kendo just took it in stride as she realized that they'll be meeting with Salaam hence she assured to Yaoyorozu that things will be okay.
"Ease up, Yaoyorozu…"
"I dread that Uwabami would put me in another commercial…and this time she would make me were a sexy Egyptian dress for a photoshoot…"
"Oh well…can't be helped…"
"Kendo…?"
"It would depend on Salaam…he probably has the final say on what to do once we arrive at Egypt…"
"You're right…"
"Shall we, Yaoyorozu?"
"Okay…"
As she and Yaoyorozu are about to head for the departure area, several fans waved at Uwabami and began asking her whene will she do another photoshoot and when will Yaoyorozu and Kendo appear in another commercial, which Uwabami said she will announce it once she returns to Japan and make an announcement on her podcast.
As she waved at the fans, others were cheering for Yaoyorozu and Kendo, with the former reluctantly waving while the latter raised her arms like a pro wrestler posing for the fans, and the admirers began chanting for the two first year students of UA Academy, which made the area a bit loudly and the security guards sighed as they didn't expect that a pair of UA Academy students would appear here inside the airport, but then the guards were startled as more people showed up and began cheering for the two departing girls
"Yaoyorozu! Yaoyorozu! Yaoyorozu! Yaoyorozu!"
"Kendo! Kendo! Kendo! Kendo!"
"Yaoyorozu! Yaoyorozu! Yaoyorozu! Yaoyorozu!"
"Kendo! Kendo! Kendo! Kendo!"
"Yaoyorozu! Yaoyorozu! Yaoyorozu! Yaoyorozu!"
"Kendo! Kendo! Kendo! Kendo!"
"Yaoyorozu! Yaoyorozu! Yaoyorozu! Yaoyorozu!"
"Kendo! Kendo! Kendo! Kendo!"

Outside UA Academy, at a hidden area, the scene shows that Bulleta is secretly holding a remote control and is revealed to be the one who is controlling the drones as is beginning her job in assassinating Hound Dog, but she appeared to be fine in dragging the UA students since it's part of her job to do anything deemed necessary to kill the pro hero, seeing that the UA students are necessarily collateral damages.
"Hee-hee…though it may take a while before I kill Hound Dog…at least I get to kill some extras…ahhh…lohebth4 carnage…hee-hee-hee…la-la-la-la-la…🎶"
However, something unexpected took place as Class 1-B's Jurota Shishida happened to pass by as he was sent to a store outside UA Academy due to running an errand, and seeing Bulleta holding a remote control which he recognized as controllers for drones, as well as hearing sounds of gunfire coming from inside UA Academy along with the UA students screaming, Shishida immediately recognize the situation and identified himself as a provisional pro hero and UA student, and ordered her to cease whatever she is doing, in which he spoke to her in slightly-fluent English seeing that Bulleta is of European descent.
"You…stop this at once!"
"Hmm…?"
"Do you realize what you're doing? You're committing murder!"
"Got a problem with that?"
"…"
"Take a hike and get lost…"
"I'll stop you and consider you a high-level villain!"
"Oh well…another corpse to add…"
Bulleta toggled the remote control so that the drones within UA Academy would operate remotely, then she brought out a Tomy gun and opened fire, but Shishida managed to evade a barrage of bullets before activating his Quirk, Beast, and mistaking his Quirked appearance for a DOG, Bulleta became excited and fired more bullets as she tries to shoot down Shishida recklessly.
Although Shishida managed to evade the hail of bullets, and normally the enemy would either panic or get agitated, Shishida noticed that Bulleta seems to be enjoying, not knowing that she has a LOVE for SHOOTING DOWN CANINE-based animals, and because she mistook Shishida as a dog-hybrid she enthusiastically tries to shoot him down, but she uses a tactic and goaded Shishida to get closer, and began shooting him at point-blank range.
To her surprise Shishida was able to withstand the bullets, as his Quirk gives him Enhanced Durability. One example being that Shishida's durability is much higher when in his beast form, as he can withstand jolts of electricity generated by Denki and continue fighting effectively against the former's team without showing any signs of hindrance from being electrocuted.
Here Shishida is able to withstand the barrage of bullets yet he struggles to reach for Bulleta, and seeing that the bullets are barely slowing him down, she decided to try something else, in which she kept on shooting him down by aiming by aiming the hail of bullets on his face, forcing him to use his arms to cover his face, and as Shishida is distracted, she stealthily places a powerful landmine and she stealthily backs away without arousing suspicion, and there she distracts him by saying that she loves killing dogs like him but Shishida clarify that he is not a dog-based person.
"Just so you know…I'm not a dog!"
"Really?"
"You heard me!"
"Oh, fine! Who cares! You're the same anyway!"
"What?"
"You got rabies anyway!"
"You think this is funny, you murderer?"
"Hee-hee-hee…"
As Bulleta hoped, Shishida unknowingly fell into her trap and stepped onto the landmine which exploded, and despite his Quirk's enhanced durability, there were limits, and there it is shown that his left leg and foot was badly injured to the point where it got fractured, and he screamed in pain as he fell to the ground and couldn't get up, and there Bulleta aims a high-powered gun at his left eye, asking him if he had any last words.
"Okay, DOGGIE…"
"…"
"Any last words?"
"…"
"Come on…say something…"
"…"
"Or are you too scared…?"
"…"
Suddenly someone appeared and called out Bulleta which she turned around and saw a man in his mid-to late 20s, having pale complexion white, shoulder-length spiky-looking hair, wearing purple pants with a GI belt, a purple-colored long-sleeve polo, and shoes, which made Bulleta curious as the man didn't appeared to be fazed at seeing her aiming her gun onto Shishida's eyes.
She asked the man who is he and what made him decide to casually come here despite seeing that she is holding a gun and aimed at Shishida, and there the man, who is British, which he is described as, a normal person he appeared to be anti-social, but then he seems to harbor a secret as he responded to Bulleta's inquires.
"I will stop you "
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Don't FUCK with me, you Harry Potter wannabe. You're not even close to be a Henry Cavill impersonator who made a poor portrayal of Superman…"
"Jon Talbain. That's my name."
"Oh? And what good would that…"
"But once you see the OTHER ME…I am known as Gallon."
"Huh?"
The British man, who introduced himself as Jon Talbain, said that his name is his real name when he is in his NORMAL FORM, but once he ASSUMES HIS OTHER FORM, he is called Gallon, which Bulleta raised an eyebrow as she wondered if Talbain is bluffing or if he is out of his mind for claiming such gibberish nonsense, which she asked if he is an escaped patient from a mental hospital, but Talbain answered back in an aggressive tone as he said that he will not forgive her for what she did when she massacred Hound Dog's family and for currently causing a massacre inside UA Academy.
"You may be a minor…but your actions are that of a dangerous adult…"
"So?"
"Therefore you will not be forgiven…"
"Got a problem with that?"
"No…but you will not be spared…after the heinous actions you committed…you will not be spared…"
"Get lost you English asshole…go find another dog and MASTURBATE…do a BEAST SEX and…"
"This stops here and I may kill you if necessary!"
"Huh?"
Angered by her arrogance Talbain screamed as he slowly transformed into a grey and white-furred werewolf, in which his upper clothing and shoes were ripped, leaving only in his pants, while he slightly increased in height, which Bulleta raised an eyebrow, as something is amiss here as she glanced at the skies and noticed that the sun is still up.
Bulleta is baffled as werewolves would only appear at nighttime and when there is full moon, but it is still daytime hence it's impossible for Talbain to transform into a werewolf and she demanded an explanation as to how he was able to become one when there is no moon and why he could become a werewolf in broad daylight.
"Hey!"
"…"
"Its still in the middle of the day!"
"…"
"How can you change into a werewolf when there's no full moon? That's impossible!"
"…"
"I bet you used special effects, you cheater!"
"…"
Ignoring Bulleta's ranting, Talbain tells her that right now she is facing him as Gallon and there she aimed her tomy gun at the werewolf and opened fire, but Gallon evaded the hail of gunfire, which made her feel the thrill as she brought out another remote control and summoned an 8-foot support robot resembling a British gangster as it is armed with lots of ammo and began to open fire.
To her surprise, Gallon's whole body suddenly became enveloped in strange energy which he resembled a human-sized energy projectile and rammed the giant robot, causing it to stagger backwards before Gallon struck it again and this time it causes the robot's chest to dent and Bulleta was shocked at seeing the robot being pummeled.
Reluctantly recognizing the fact that she is outclassed and in danger of being apprehended, Bulleta toggles the remote control and summoned another 8-foot robot and programmed it to kill Shishida, and there she stealthily fled the scene as Gallon defeated and damaged the robot but noticed that the other robot is about to shoot down Shishida, and there Gallon channeled his energy within his body and charged towards the robot and did a battering ram which knocked down the robot before using his claws to rip out the circuits and deactivated the robot.
There he carried the injured Shishida in his arms before reverting to normal and there he urged Shishida to stay conscious as he is taking him inside UA Academy, which the Class 1-B member nodded as he is struggling not to lose consciousness due to the pain on his left leg and foot.
"Hang in there, lad…"
"Uhhhh…"
"I'm taking you inside your school…"
"Uhhhh…"
"I'm sorry the culprit escaped…"
"Uhhhh…"
"But you're safe now…"
"Uhhhh…"
Moments later Talbain entered UA Academy where you can see that Mei Hatsume is holding a device which jams the signals of the drones as they laid on the ground where all of them are deactivated and there Talbain gave Shishida to the security robots who immediately sent the student to the infirmary.
Talbain then saw several bodies of UA Academy students laid on the ground, all dead due to being riddled with bullets caused by the drones and Hound Dog is seen clenching his fists as he blames himself for this though Nezu told him that he is not at fault as he said that he will check the CCTV footage to see if the one responsible is caught on video.
"Easy now…"
"This is all my fault…"
"No it is not, Inui…"
"It is. The culprit found out that I worked here…and uses the students to get at me…and now the students are killed because of me…"
"I take responsibility for this. Inui…do not be disheartened…"
"I…"
"We will find the culprit…you have my word."
"…"
Talbain quietly leaves as he decided to go and find Bulleta himself as he knows that she is capable of anything and that even pro heroes won't be able to locate her easily.
To Be Continued...
Hope you liked this chapter, as the current story arc kicks in as the Darkstalker of this arc makes her move as Bulleta MYSTERIOUSLY sent drones to attack Hound Dog yet she is more than willing to drag innocent UA students into the fray, causing a massacre and would surely cause headlines and PR nightmare for UA Academy…
Shishida of Class 1-B responded and was close to stopping her but Bulleta is very crafty as she managed to wound him and is close to killing him but a miracle appeared out of the blue.
Yup, Jon Talbain, aka Gallon, made his appearance and held off Bulleta and the latter wisely withdrew after seeing what he is capable of, and Gallon brought Shishida inside UA Academy where he witnessed what Bulleta did there and he resolved in finding her himself.
On the other hand, Yaoyorozu and Kendo are slated to go to Egypt to meet up with Egyptian pro hero Salaam, where Uwabami is shown and revealed that she too is being summoned to Egypt, and there you'd probably guess that another Darkstalker would appear…which you probably guess who, given the hints being shown (such as Egyptian themes and mentions of mummies).
Preview:
The next chapter continue the subplot as Gallon continue his hunt for Bulleta, where the werewolf gets into a conflict with some animal-based pro heroes, while Yaoyorozu, Kendo and Uwabami meets Salaam in person…
See you next month…
