Irene was nervous as Gentleman Ripper came closer, dragging his knife along the wall of bricks, slight gouging out the mason holding the wall up
"So now little mouse, you caused me all sort of trouble by coming here to free that man" he laughed
"I-I-I am to scared of you" Irene stuttered as she backed away
"Oh look at you being so, so tough" Gentleman Ripper laughed as he slowly approached the woman.
"I'm not scared!" she stuttered again. Gentleman Ripper laughed and was about to use his quirk when suddenly a fist of metal was thrown at him
"You okay ma'am?" Cruncher asked
Who are you? Irene asked
"I'm Cruncher a member of a special operations group of the AHAB" Cruncher said as he glared at the villain who looked up
"Cruncher, so the Hooligans are here" Gentleman Ripper glared back "I was wondering when you were going to show up, given who is being retried" Gentleman Ripper said
"Yeah we are" Cruncher raced in throwing punches at Gentleman Ripper "You know I hate beating up on the elderly, but I'm willing to make and exception for you!" Cruncher shouted
"Try it you over grown girder" Gentleman Ripper snarled trying to use his quirk, but Cruncher wasn't giving him an inch to do so.
"HOLD STILL!" Cruncher snapped
"You first" Gentleman Ripper snapped as he tried to stab Cruncher, who blocked with his metallic fists
"Nice knife, shame I have to break it, like I'm going to break you!"
"TRY IT!" Gentleman Ripper bellowed.
"This is not good, he keeps upping the power of his punches" Redback said
"Come on bug boy" Wallop laughed as he punched a hole in the wall just as Redback leapt off and landed on a crouch.
"How do I defeat him?" Redback asked
"You can't" Wallop laughed as he raced forward, only to have his feet leave the ground "What?" he asked
"Surprise!" Drop Bear said as he was holding his hand up
"Hey, its Blinky Bill!" Wallop laughed
"Drop Bear, you good?" Redback asked
"Yeah" Drop Bear nodded. "We saw what happened to your truck and stopped, Taipan is with the target, while I'm here with you"
"Maybe we can get Smoko up here" Redback pondered
"Hey don't leave me up here you asshole" Wallop squirmed.
"Oh right" Drop Bear said as he slammed Wallop into the ground
"Ow" Wallop groaned, trying to get up
"Did you forget that I can manipulate gravity, making it so I can make you float" Drop Bear started as Wallop started to float "or I can slam you back down" Drop Bear said as he slammed
"I'm going to get you, you damn Caramello Koala" Wallop struggled to get up
"oh please this is the best fun I've had in ages" Drop Bear laughed.
"HOLD STILL!" Eclipsa growled as she fired her quirk off at Mr Toon who was jumping around the place like a spring loaded chicken
"I'm going to bite him" Sharkfang snarled as he growled
"But how?" Feedback said as he blasted the plants his girlfriend was throwing him.
"I'd be worried that you would be in the doghouse if you ever head back" Sharkfang commented
"He's right" Eclipsa said "Being is the doghouse is not a good thing
"How would you know, since Huntsman never did go into the doghouse" Sharkfang snapped at Mr Toon who was finally holding still. The cartoon like villain let out a shriek and moved his body out of the way of Sharkfang's jaws.
"Whatever do you mean? Eclipsa said firing off more blasts
"You two are practically each other's teddy bears" Feedback quipped
"Wait seriously?" Poisona asked
"Yeah, they ended up installing a sound canceller into their room considering how often they were together" Feedback told them
"Oh my!" Poisona blushed
"Getting hot under the collar?" Mr Toon asked pulling his shirt collar back as steam shot out of it at the others
"Oh ha-ha" Poisona frowned. Feedback quickly sent out a blast of sound at his girlfriend, knocking her into the living toon.
"How did you beat him the first time?" Feedback quietly asked
"We barely did" Sharkfang informed him.
"Great" Feedback groaned.
"Mr Ryan, you okay?" Taipan asked as he got him out of the intact van, which was lucky considering it was the first two were damaged.
"Great, but we need to get to the court house, which is still a fair way away" Terrance looked around
"That's true, thankfully I planned for this" Taipan said as he pulled out his phone and looked something up.
"what?" Terrance asked as he looked around not seeing anything as a car drove itself to his location and opened its door
"This" Taipan said as he got in the driver's side.
"You're using your personal transport?" Smoko asked as he came up to them
"Yeah, get in" Taipan said
"You sure about this?" Smoko asked as he got in the front passenger's side as Terrance got in the back, curling up in a ball to fit properly.
"Yeah" Taipan said as he started to drive off, pushing a button on the dash
"Stealth mode on" the computer said
"This has a stealth mode?" Smoko asked
"I'm a ninja after all, what kind of ninja would I be if my car wasn't as stealthy as me?" he asked
"It's kind of cramp" Terrance said
"Sorry about that" Taipan said as he drove off. The trio in the car were silent as they drove along
"The second convey was hit as well" Smoko said
"I know" Taipan said
"Should I pick the other witness up?" Taipan asked shifting ears
"May as well" Smoko told him
"Is there room back here? Terrance asked
"We'll see" Taipan said.
"So the convoys were attacked, big surprise" a man said as he sat in a cafe enjoying a mocha with a piece of orange caramel sponge cake. He enjoyed the soft texture. "Maybe I should bring her here one day" he said as he stood up and stretched before he went back to his drink. "Maybe that little item I picked up in Japan will be good here" he said opening a small case with several red bullets especially with my prey"
"You know you could be helping" Knight said as he showed up and nodded as a waitress came out with a cup of coffee in a takeaway mug
"You ordered a coffee?" the man asked
"I did, I figured since they had things handled I'd be back up in case anything happens, which it appears to have, the Cabal and a couple of Coalition thugs crashed the party" Knight said
"I see, can you name he cabal member?" he man asked
"Gentleman Ripper" Knight told them making the man surprised
"My prey is practically close by" he smirked
"Easy Hunter" Knight said, frowning before he noticed a case "Are those?"
"They are, in fact these are the last ones on the planet" the man said
"You're not" Knight growled
"I am" Lockdown said as he summoned one of his own guns and loaded the red bullets into it
"Those were forbidden for a reason" Knight said "heck it's against International Heroic Law to use them!" Knight growled
"I know, and since this are the last ones, then no one else will use them, and they got the sources of them didn't they?" he asked finishing his coffee and cake
"It is, but you use them, prepare to be reported" knight snared as he walked off
"I know" Lockdown sadly said as he summoned his armour and walked out, the gun holding the forbidden ammo in his side holster. He's main weapon on his back.
'I want to be a hero just like you daddy' the echo of his daughter's young voice played in his mind
"I know, my dear Olivia, but something there a line a hero has to cross, and this time it is my time to cross that line" he said.
"This is Taipan, come in Convoy two" Taipan tried to get anyone on the radio from convoy two
"That ain't good" Smoko frowned
"Indeed" Taipan said
"THERE!" Terrance pointed out a woman in pink hiding
"I'll get her" Smoko said pulling out his knives as he walked out of the car. Once the door was close he turned into smoke and moved around the area, careful to not spook the woman who was looking like she was close to having a heart attack
"Miss Watson" Smoko said putting his reformed hand on her shoulder making her jump back in fright "sorry sorry, My name is Smoko, I'm one of the top heroes, I'm here to get you to safety"
"And the smoke" Irene asked
"My quirk" Smoko said as he looked around.
"So where is the transport?" she asked
"Over there" Smoko pointed out
"The hatchback?" Irene asked
"You'd be surprised how roomy it is" Smoko said as he looked around, spotting Gentleman Ripper facing down Cruncher
"A villain vs a hooligan; what the heck is going on?' he asked confused as what was going on.
"Okay" Irene said as she walked over to the car quickly, her heels clicking with each step. Smoko reformed and opened the backdoor allowing the woman in and closed it before he got in the front
"Okay we're all in?" Taipan asked
"You're Taipan!" Irene asked shocked
"Yes ma'am" Taipan nodded
"Wait you're!" Irene gasped as she turned to
"Hey" Terrnace waved sheepishly smiling
"You're the guy who saved me, but what were you doing in London?" Irene asked
"I was trying out some local barbecue" Terrance said
"Barbecue?" Irene asked
"Yeah, I own my own barbecue place and was checking out some British barbecue when the Ripper attacked." Terrance admitted.
"I hope to try it one day" she smieled. "But how are we getting away?"
"Stealth mode re-engaged' the computer said
"Electric motors, matte black coat, special activity camoflague" Taipan said
"How did you?" Irene asked
"I'm a pro hero so my local agency came up with it so I can move around unseen" Taipan stated
"Good idea" Irene said
"I'm using the GPS" Smoko said
"Got it" Taipan said.
Landing his transport close by, Captain Lightningbolt jumped from the cockpit and ran over to the convoy 1. He saw all of them were empty
"No, no, no, NO!" he shouted as he slammed the door close.
"Take it easy" King Brown said as he saw his friend acing reckless "I'm guessing by the fact there is no heroes here, they moved him to some sort of different vehicle, but not sure what kind" King Brown said before he hissed and looked around
"What is it?" Captain Lightningbolt frowned
"Ah Ryan" Massacre laughed as he appeared "I was fighting hat jumped up casino bunny, but I think I'll have more fun with you" he laughed.
"You" Captain Lightningbolt growl, "Both time my family have has been in your crosshairs, we've faced each other, well. I can happily say, THAT ENDS NOW!" he shouted unleashing a blast f lightning which lit the area up.
"WHOA!" Massacre shouted
"STRUTH!" King Brown shouted. Everyone in the area paused and watched the bright light die down before he saw that Massacre's shoulders were charred.
"Not bad" Massacre laughed as he formed two bladed weapons and charged at Captain Lightningbolt, who frowned and quickly threw a fist int the villain's face, which in return was quickly bitten by the sharpened fangs of Massacre.
"You bastard!" Captain Lightningbolt barked as he kicked the blood user in the legs, stunning his leg.
"MOVE!" a voice shouted as a set of casino chips flew past the leader of the Hooligans and into the villain.
"Casino?" King Brown asked
"Hooligans, what are you doing here?" Casino asked as he costume was ripped in various places
"oh you know just hanging out" King Browns smiling.
"Now time to die" Gentleman Ripper shouted as he tried to stab Cruncher. The stone that his body took on blunting the knives
"Like you'll ever win" Cruncher said as he kicked the British villain in the gut and rolled out of the way
"Once I'm done with you, I'm going to kill her wherever she is" Gentleman Ripper laughed, throwing the knife of his between each hand. Suddenly a gunshot went off, breaking the knife. "What?" he asked
"Howdy" a cold voice said
"Lockdown!" Cruncher gasped
"I'm surprised the Hooligans were here" he said.
"What are you going to do?" Cruncher asked, watching as Lockdown pulled out a loaded weapon, cocked it and aimed at Gentleman Ripper.
"You think that peashooter will be able to put me down?" he laughed
"It isn't suppose to put you down...its suppose to kill your quirk" Lockdown smirked
"No way, why...WHY DO YOU HAVE THOSE?" Cruncher asked
"None of your business" Lockdown shouted as he aimed at Gentleman Ripper, cocking he gun
'These things are a curse and the last thing I'm going to do with them is make sure they do one good thing' Lockdown thought to himself as him aimed at the villain.
"You call that a blast?" Massacre laughed as he dodged Captain Lightningbolt's attack.
"We are not hitting him" Casino said going for a deck of card, only to feel nothing "I'm out!" she shouted flicking her staff out and twirling it.
"Great, I've got this" Captain Lightngbolt frowned as he charged his fists with electricity and rushed up to him.
"Oh you want to do fisty cuffs do you?" Massacre laughed. The two hero then dodged a swarm of needle made of blood
"Do you know if he's blood is infectious?" Casino asked
"We d know he isn't due to various blood tests he was subjected to. But now we need to end his quirk" Lightningbolt frowned
"Too bad we have no quirk suppression gear' Casino frowned
"Yeah, I wonder why?" Lightningbolt looked at her with a deadpan gare
"Hey don't look at me, this is an escort mission!" Casino snapped
"OH REALLY!" Captain Lightningbolt shouted as he fired several bolts of lightning back at Massacre, who dodged and ducked all of them
"YES REALLY ASSHOLE!" Casino snapped
"Would you two just shut up already and DIE!" Massacre laughed.
"Do you have enough room?" Terrance asked
"Yes, I do thank you" Irene nodded
"Good" Terrance smiled
"Do you?" Irene asked back
"I'm fine" Terrance commented. The two pro heroes looked at the two at the back
"So Miss Watson, I heard you have a husband?" Smoko asked
"Yes I do, he was recently arrested down here" Irene told them
"The bushfire guy right?" Smoko
"I'm glad this car has stealth capabilities" Taipan said as he shifted gears and continued drive
"We better call this in" Smoko said
"Why?" Taipan asked
"They're expecting two convoys" Smoko revealed
"so how do you think it's going to go?" Irene asked
"not sure, don't want to think about it truthfully" Terrance replied
"But keep hopeful Terrance, you are going to see your dreams come true" Taipan nodded as he stepped
"What's wrong?" Smoko asked
"that" Taipan said as he saw Mr Toon scanning he area. They knew it was dicey for them,.
"How's the stealth system?" Smoko asked
"We still have Optical camo for about 50 minutes" Taipan said
"Did you fully charge this?" Smoko asked
"Yeah, I even ordered the extra big battery" Taipan said
"How quickly does it drain?"
"I can use the stealth tech for about a total of 3 hours" Taipan explained.
"And you have 50 minutes left, how much did you use it?" Smoko stressed.
"Just quiet" Taipan whispered as he lowered the seats to make it easier to hide
"um" Terrance looked around his head and shoulders still above the window
"I go an idea' Irene said as she laid down on the seat making room for Terrance to lay on the floor, now fully hiding him
"Turning off camo in 3" Taipan said turning the cloaking device off revealing a small silvery grey hatchback with tinted windows , "Genjutsu" Taipan said as he created a holographic overlay of the car's interior making it look like no one was in there.
"Hello?" Mr Toon asked as he peered in. "No one there" he shrugged before causing and evil smirk and his hand going slowly to the door handle, suddenly a loud bang rag out shock, Mr Toon
'What was that?" Irene whispered.
"I'm not sure" Terrance frowned.
"You shot me" Gentleman Ripper gasped as he looked at the gun
"An that was the end of you quirk" Lockdown said as he opened the case, making all of the reaming quirk eraser bullets fall to the ground, Gentleman Ripper smirked as reached out for one them, only to have his plans for revenge dashed as Lockdown stamped on the reaming bullets, shattering them, into shards
"NO!" the villain shouted
"What did you do?" Cruncher asked
"Used the last one to end the path of a villain" Lockdown said putting his gun back into his personal slipspace. "you're welcome" Lockdown said before the ye heard the wind rustling past them. Coughing Gentleman Ripper stood up as an Inverse Spot walked out and returned to his normal colouring,
"Whoa, you look like shit" Spot said
"Shut up" Gentleman Ripper coughed as he stood up "To all villains, fall back!" he ordered
"that was" Cruncher blinked
"Random" Lockdown frowned.
"No kidding" Cruncher replied
"WHAT" Massacre shouted into his earpiece "Why the shit are we falling back?" Massacre asked
"Just do it" a deep voice from a purple cloud said as he pulled Massacre into the portal "I may be the villain here, but please do have a good day" he said
"That was" Casino blincked
"Kurogiri" Lightningbolt frowned. "So the Cabal pulled them back"
"just be lucky that we" Casino paued "Shit the court!" she realised
"Oh shit" Lightningbolt panicked
"This is Taipan, Shock and Awe are at the hammer at now, I repeat they are at the hammer now.
An Hour later the court was in session, and it was quickly deduced that Terrance Ryan had been indeed been framed for the crime by Gentleman Ripper. Irene was the key, of course the prosecution were trying had to make it seem like Terrance was working for the villain, which of course didn't sit well with his older brother who was held in his seat by Holly. Soon the judged came out and told everyone to rise
"Does the jury have the verdict?" the judge asked as
"We do your honour" the selected Juror said
"Very well ready out the verdict" the judge said
"We the jury of this court hereby declare the defendant Terrance Ryan" he paused "Not guilty!" they declared, shocking no one, Terrance looked shocked before smiling
"Well then" the judge nodded as she walked off of her seat and approached Terrance Ryan "On behalf of the Federal Australian Government, I apologise that you were held in prison for that time, you will be rewarded with 21.2 Million dollars and your criminal record will be expunged" the judge stern announced brio she held out her hand and smiled "Mr Terrance Ryan, congratulations on being free" the judge smiled.
"Thank you, your honour" Terrance gulped down his emotions long enough to shake the judge's hand
"YOU DID IT!" James shouted jump hugging his brother
"I'm glad you're out Terrance" Holly smiled
"Thank you" Terrance said before turning to Irene "and thank you, without you, I don't think I would be free" he shook her hand
"No worries, but now I think there is something that you wanted to do if I'm not mistaken"
"There is" Terrance smiled "there sure is."
"Yo sis!" Zack shouted as he walked into their uncle shop..."Brandy you here or not!" he called out while he looked around getting annoyed.
"Sorry Brand's not here" a voice he thought he never would hear ever again
"Uncle Terr?" Zack asked, gulping a lump in his throat before covering his mouth "You're, you're" Zack knew he was going to cry.
"I'm out, free and cleared of all charges"
"Congrats" Zack smiled hugging his uncle
"No worries, now kit's tuck into some good barbecue huh?" Terrance smiled ruffling Zack's hair,
"Yeah, I got a ton to tell you" he laughed.
G'day Guys Grizz here and after setting it up so long ago, we finally have Zack and his uncle, of course originally Terrance was a full blown villain, who was in jail for a crime he committed but over the weeks thinking about this chapter I deiced to write it, and originally we were going to see why Terrance was a threat and how Terrace was a major asshole, but I liked changing him to the way he is now, and so does Zack alos sorry Mrotrax if you had anyplans for Gentleman Ripper because I deleted his quirk, not sure how he did though. Anyway this will be the lst time you see Overhaul's bane in these chapters.
So until next time I'll catch you on the flipside down under
