"Guys, let's face it" Zack said to the guys that were there, they all looked at him while the girls were giggling and checking things on their phones. "we're screwed!"
"No kidding, I'm seeing Donna checking her bank account" Dennis gulped
"Why is that bad?" Paul asked
"Dude, the girls are here at the mall, and one of them is checking their bank accounts, DO THE DAMN MATHSYOU BOOKWORM!" Wyatt shouted
"Um...oh crap we're doomed" Paul paled
"I think it will be fairly easy they'll do some light shopping before Yukio comes out on stage" Crash said
"That is going to be a fair while, so we don't know what they can get up to in that time" Reggie said
"Which is why we have got to keep an eye on them" Terrance said
"And they're gone" Oscar said
"Crap" the guys said
"Where would they all go?" Zack asked making them all shrug.
Riley was happy as she was able to slip away from Brittany finds to Mel, Isabella and Kelly dragging her off somewhere, meaning she could go down the area dubbed Fashion lane where most of the clothing stores were, she was going to get something
"Lacy, silky or frilly?" Indy asked spooking Riley
"When did you?" she asked shocked
"I noticed you went down this way, so what is it you're looking for?" Indy asked
"A nice dress, you see we have the GAB coming up soon" Riley told her
"The Gab?" Indy asked.
"The Global Alliance Ball, basically every year the top schools of the top hero nations all gather at a chosen venue and have a celebratory ball, this year we're going to be having it at Kirby and since it will be there my father will be in attendance, meaning so will Brittany and I, so I decided I would try and get a dress for it, but I'm have NO SUCH LUCK!" she shouted "I'm hoping I could get one while I'm here and kind of hide it from Brittany until the day of the ball itself" Riley admitted
"Okay, you see that store at the end" Indy pointed to a store
"You mean the one that says Luminous?" Riley asked
"Yeah, that's my sister's company so I'm sure we can hook you with something nice from there" Indy said
"Cool, but what about" Riley was about to continue when Indy flashed up a silver card
"Platinum VIP level" she winked
"Huh?" Riley confused asked
"The top level of customer support at Luminous, only three people have this level" Indy told her.
"You, your sister and her mother?" Riley asked
"Okay four, my mum as well. It means we will have a fully private fitting of anything you need from dresses to suits to underwear." Indy said
"Really?" Riley blushed
"Oh yeah" Indy said "So come on" she pushed the American girl to the shop.
"Let's see" Matilda said as she and Natalie hit up and Music store
"I can't believe you guys can still get vinyl and Discs" Natalie said
"I can" Matilda said "There is just something about using an old CD Player of record player and chilling to the music" she said smiling "So how long until Brittany tries to hunt down Riley?"
"If Isabella distracts her long enough by looking at cuddly animals, a fair while" Natalie said
"Soft animals...I thought they were going shoe shopping" Matilda said
"Uh oh, then we lost track of them" Natalie said
"Shame about that then isn't it?" a voice said making the two girls look behind them as some guy dressed up as a wannabe punk rock star rapper was walking towards them
"Nicholas" Natalie frowned
"Hey sis, never thought you would be in Down Under" he laughed "oh I'm sorry where are my manner, I'm Nicholas Tesla aka Feedback"
"This asshole is your brother?" Matilda asked
"Yeah sadly, but he's a decent guy" Natalie said
"Mama tried to raise me right, but it so much fun being a villain" Feedback said "Especially for the money and chaos"
"Funny how you don't hear many heroes ditching our side to join yours" Matilda said making the two siblings pause for a second
"What about, no" Natalie started
"There was, no that was an undercover thing" Feedback muttered
"That one...who he was a villain turned hero" Natalie said
"Huh" the two said together "Good point"
"I know" Matilda said "But please don't fight here!" Matilda said
"Why not?" Feedback asked as he held his hand up to a speaker, Natalie getting ready to attack
"Because, this is my favourite shop and it's a local business" Matilda said "Like a real Mum and pop store"
"oh, oh shit" Feedback said as he looked around "Dude they have vinyl!"
"I know right" Natalie went over and joined "Even pre quirk stuff"
"Man, I wonder if they have the Bugs" Feedback said
"You mean the Beatles?" Matilda asked
"Yeah them" Feedback said
"I got a few sonny" an old man who looked like a hippy said
"Sweet" Feedback said.
"Come on you guys, let's find one" Brittany said
"I was hoping to get a kangaroo or koala plush" Isabella whined as Brittany went into a surf shop
"Well, I want Riley to get out of her stupid school swimsuit phase, and I think a nice two piece would be good for her and well you have seen how unflattering those things are" Brittany said
"If it weren't for Riley liking them, most of them would have been 'misplaced'" Isabella said
"That can't be that bad" Mel said before she was shown a picture of one and muttered something in Portuguese about them
"Yeah" the two said, before the trio looked around trying to find the perfect one "Does she enjoy wearing blue?"
"Mostly" the two American girls answered
"I see, so why not try a different colour" Mel said
"Pink" they said, starting to look through the pink swimsuits.
Meanwhile Indy was looking around her sister's store while Riley was getting changed into the dress she was going to wear for the ball that was coming out
"So it must have been a bit rough having a famous pro hero sister growing up" Riley said
"No kidding" Indy said looking at a pair of pants. "I kept comparing myself to her. To me I was half as beautiful, half as talented, half as powerful. Basically I was half her
"Know that feeling" Riley muttered
"However my sister picked up on this and she lead me to the side and sat me down and asked me what was wrong, so I told her how I felt and she just hugged me and said that reason I felt that way was silly because I was still growing." Indy said
"Oh wow that's a good way to look at things" Riley said
"no kidding" Indy scoffed "After that I believed her. Nothing could stand in my way" Indy said.
"Cool" Riley said
"So how is the dress?" Indy asked before she heard the curtain being pulled back as out stepped the American heo student wearing a strapless Celtic blue dress. Indy smiled and nodded
"what do you think?" Riley asked
"You look stunning, but its missing just one thing" Indy said as she went over to a wall and grabbed a bit of white ribbon and tied it around her waist "There perfect" she said smiling
"Thanks" Riley smiled
"No worries" Indy said hugging her before they were rocked by an explosion
"What was that?' they asked.
"OH YEAH!" Feedback laughed as he fired another blast of soundwaves at Matilda and Natalie, who had finished their shopping and bumped into Feedback's target, the rock idol Yukio.
"This sucks" Natalie said firing a blast of electricity at Feedback right at the same time Feedback did, the two attacks cancelling each other out
"This is going to be tough since your attacks are cancelling each other out and he would absorb my attacks" Matilda said
"We need one of the others" Natalie said
"GOOD LUCK TRYING TO GET ONE OF THEM!" Feedback shouted as he fired another sound blast, Matilda quickly got her phone out and sent a group message away before the sound of the stage being destroyed
"Oh great" Yukio said before she pulled her own phone and activated an app. She then ducked down when more shrapnel from the stage "Looks like I'm cancelling the show"
"Sorry about that" Matilda said creating a bow and arrow and aiming at the area above Feedback. She pulled the strings back making the sounds of a harp before she fired, barley missing him
"Nice try" Feedback taunted her
"Damn, I was so close as well" Matilda said
"No you weren't" the two with her said before a shuriken was embedded in the ground
"oh good, he's here" Yukio said
"Who?" the students asked.
Taipan stood there glaring at the man who dared attack the mall, he glared at him under his visor
"Who are you supposed to be?" Feedback asked
"I'm the second highest ranked hero in Australia! who the heck are you?" he asked glaring at the villain
"Just a humble villain for the US of A" Feedback bowed
"Judging by the fact you use sound, I'm guessing you're Feedback" Taipan said
"That I am, nice to meet you Aussie hero" Feedback said blasting at Taipan, who nimbly dodged out of the way "Quick bastard aren't you?" he asked looking around before a foot was shoved into the back of his knee making him go down "OOF"
"Yes I am, but not as quick as your stupidity thinking that you can get the drop on me" Taipan said
"oh, we'll just see what kind of drop I'm get on you, you son of a bi-DUH!" Feedback said before the hilt of Taipan's sword was buried into his gut making the rock star wannabe cough up bile and spit from his "Cheap shot"
"No that was a targeted strike on a pressure point making you lose what air was in your lungs, a quite handy little technique I picked up" he said putting Feedback in a headlock and flipped him over his shoulder, those gathered wincing as they felt the air leave Feedback's lungs.
"You bastard" Feedback said
"I'm not the one who targeted a young girl" Taipan said
"What better way to break someone's spirit then seeing someone who can bring the masses together?" Feedback said "but now I look at her, hoo boy girl could be a Playhero model" he licked his lip making Yukiko cover her breast
"She's the second girl I've seen that could be a living anime girl" Matilda said
"HEY!" Yukio said
"Oh?" Feedback said "who's the first?"
"ME!" Kelly shouted punching him before walking over to Taipan "excuse me sir, do you mind scanning my provisional license"
"Not at all, thankfully this doesn't count as emergency quirk usage" Taipan said pulling out his phone and turned on the scanning up "Okay let's see Edward, Kelly aka Ranger you have been approved use of heroic quirk usage alongside a pro, this will be logged into the network so your teachers can later review the evidence"
"Thank you sir" Kelly said.
"Mind scanning mine in and saying with was Emergency Quirk usage?" Matilda asked
"I don't mind at all" Taipan said before he nodded at Yukio who ran off.
"WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING!" Feedback shouted before he blasted at her, knocking her to the ground and rolled along it, grasping her ankle. Seeing this Taipan got more worried,
"You and You" he said pointing to Natalie and Matilda "get her to safety, me and Miss Edwards can finish this off"
"Are you sure?" Matilda asked
"I am, not GO!" Taipan said.
"I wonder what's going on outside?" Zack asked as he and the guys were walking around and heard some of the commotion outside.
"Well let's find out" Bobby said as they all rushed out to see Taipan, Ranger and Feedback fighting
"What is he doing here?" Reggie asked
"I have no clue" Bobby said
"Villain or yours I take it?" Paul asked
"Yeah he is" Bobby nodded
"We've beaten him more times the Bobby's defeated Terrance during the tournament of titans" Henry said
"HEY!" Terrance snapped.
"who cares, let's do this" Mack said as he levitated several bits of stone, throwing them at the villain, only for them to get blasted apart.
"Great sound blasts" Bruce said as he shifted to Tazzie devil form and charged at the villain
"WHOA! What is that thing?" Feedback snapped.
"The name is Taz" Bruce said
"Cool" Feedback said
"What are you doing here Feedback?" Bobby asked as he got his baseball bat out
"Shopping, chilling, surprising my baby sister, and kidnapping Yukio for a plan the Aussie villains are working on"
"What plan?" Taipan asked doing a jump attack at him, the American villain dodging whole firing off sound blasts
"Why would the Cabal be interested in Australian villains?" Taipan asked blocking a punch
"Not telling" Feedback smirked
"The missing heroes" Henry said making the group look at him "There has been heroes missing all over the world"
"And you think he has something to do with that?" Yukio asked
"Nick, please don't tell me you are" Natalie said
"I don't think I was, but I'm just the distraction here" Feedback said
"So the kidnapping is happening somewhere else" Taipan said
"It is, but you won't find me telling you" Feedback said as he blasted the ground making a huge cloud of dirt fly up. Mack quickly cleared teh air and looked around
"Damn we lost him" Mack said before Bobby was wincing and cough
"Bobby you okay man?" Zack asked.
"They hurt" Bobby whimpered
"His scars" Terrance said
"Feedback must have done something so they would hurt" Reggie said.
"Let's get him to the nearby medical centre" Taipan said.
"BOBBY!" Riley ran in to the place they were keeping him, most of the guys were talking to the Police a few like Zack, Bruce, Paul, Terrance Reggie and Natalie were waiting there
"What happened?" Indy asked
"He's scars" Reggie said making Riley freeze
"What about them?" Riley asked
"They started to hurt, we haven't seen him since they took him in there" Natalie said making Riley burst into his room as Bobby was pulling on his shirt revealing the scars on his body, included
"Shit mate someone gave you the hot foot" Zack said
"Who did that?" Bruce asked
"Mason Jingo" Bobby said
"And the hand?" Paul asked
"Me" Terrance said "Most of the damage done to his hand was from me"
"Why would you do that mate?" Zack asked
"We got into a fight, and I know now to never underestimate Bobby in a fight" Terrance said as Bobby looked away, Riley kissed his cheek.
"Well I for one don't care because I love you now and forever regardless of your scars" she said holding his scarred hand
"Thanks Riley" Bobby smiled
"Hype mate, be proud of them scars" Zack said before removing his shirt and turning around shocking the Americans again "Especially if they're because you got in the place of a loved one" he said pointing to a scar on his back going across his shoulders "I got this sucker defending Angie, of course I had to cauterise it using my lightning half of my quirk, that hurt a lot, but I'd do it again and again to make sure my family, mates, sheila are safe. Something I know you would do the same for"
"I would" Riley said
"I would too, and I know Izuku would" Bobby said
"Izuku?" Indy asked
"A friend of mine back in Japan, we were pen-pals for years" Bobby said.
"Yes I'm Izuku, I'm fine. Yes dad showed up, no I didn't get to do the show, yes I'll be fine. And of course I'll come and perform at UA" Yukio said "Okay I'll talk to you later" she said hanging up, before looking at herself in the mirror, sighing as she ran a hand through her hair. Her bright green eyes a little duller in sadness as she removed her outfit and looked at the bath.
"You okay?" a voice asked through the door, one she knew as both her father and the pro hero who saved her
"I'm fine dad, I hope I didn't cut into the time you use to patrol as Taipan" Yukio said sinking into the water
"It didn't because it allowed me to get to you" he said smiling
"Oh daddy" Yukio smiled, ever since she was little she wanted to be a rock star hero, using whatever quirk she got to help people before entertaining the, but when she was four she was told she didn't have a quirk like her father, then at six her mother died due to a disease. Her father never remarried just being a single father while being a pro hero; no matter what was said about him, she was proud of him. She decided ever if she couldn't be a rock star hero, then she would settle for being a rock star. And right now all she wanted to do was lean back and enjoy her hot bath.
It was late afternoon when all the TVs in Australia switched over to a live stream, and on screen was a man that appeared to be surrounded by a suit of water making all but his glowing green eyes
"Good afternoon everyone, I am Sid Harbour but you may know me better as Rupture!" he said making the heroes pay attention "And I am here as a part of the Coalition of Australian Villains. And we have a simple request" he said before showing several captured female pro heroes "As you can see we have a wide variety of beautiful maidens such as Japan's Mandalay, England's Union Jackie, America's Moon Cat, Canada's Stickler, Italy's Sigona Rosa and so on and so forth. Now our demands are simple, 500 million dollars by tomorrow or" Rupture said as the camera switched over to a dummy dangling over the water before it was dropped and a shark leapt out of the water, ripping it apart "that shark is going to enjoy a very lovely meal." he said "Clock is ticking AHAB, oh and before I forget I hope it come to know surprise when I say, no heroes!" he glared at the TV before they switched back to normal. Director Ayers just glared at the TV and picked up a phone
"Wallaby, this is Ayers...Deploy the Hooligans to get those heroes back" he growled as he chomped on the cigar. "Now!"
G'day Guys Grizz here, and that was part three of the Kirby visit, which will be extended into a fourth chapter after the next one, which is the Hooligans chapter I told you about last time. Now this time we just did the teenagers at the mall only to be attacked and we have a new character in Yukio who is Taipan's daughter and Izuku's cousin since Taipan is he uncle, also some of the stuff in this chapter was suggested to me by Mrotrax, so once again thanks for that man
So until next time I'll catch you on the flipside down under
