Meanwhile:
In the League of Villains bar, Shigaraki waits around impatiently tells his right-hand, "This villain recruitment is already taking too long... I'm gonna go nuts at this point." He grumbles.
"Not to worry, Tomura Shigaraki. The Shins are still in the middle of searching for villains with high-skills." Kurogiri assures.
"As far as I'm concerned, they're not moving fast enough. Which is why..." Tomura gets up from the bar-chair, "We'll be getting back in the mix... to speed up this operation..." He then asks, "You have no problems with that, right, Master?"
"Do as you please." He speaks via computer(voice-only), "It is important to increase our strength in numbers, and looking in other cities around Japan broadens the search." He adds, "I know you have what it takes and will succeed... Tomura. Use whatever resource you can to make it happen."
"That goes without saying." Shigaraki agrees, "Kurogiri, take us to the first place that comes to mind."
"The first place..." Kurogiri thinks on it for several seconds before knowing where and tells the young villain.
"So you choose that place? Tch... you have done better." Shigaraki grumbles, "But whatever... take us there."
"Understood." The warp villain complies and proceeds to teleport them both out the part to their "chosen" destination.
Opening 7 "Hajimatteiku Takamatteiku" by Sambomaster
Starts off with the introduction of Kawaki, who slowly turns around and menacingly raises out his right hand. As he does that, debris starts to levitate around the air as we zoom out to the destruction of Japan before the series title reveals itself.
As the song picks up, we see shots of a few U.A. Students, Boruto(who looks down before gazing up), Izuku(who looks at his scared right hand before gazing forward), Katsuki(who glares with one hand in pocket before un-tightening his right hand to do a mini-explosive), Sarada(who takes off her glasses and activates her Sharingan), Shoto(who looks upward and blows ice fog from his mouth), Mitsuki(who has a snake around his arm/gazes up while sitting on a tree). Next shows some of the Pro heroes(Naruto, All Might, Sasuke, Endeavor, and Shota).
We then cut to the League of Villains, Tomura (with gazes from his hand-mask) the Shins(both serious with their Sharingan's active), and Kurogiri(who opens a portal to his side), along with new recruits: Dabi, Nanashi, Himiko, and Shizuma. With all of them being in the shadow of All for One (who has his back turned in not revealing himself).
Next shows Kawaki in the outskirts and deserted area of Japan as a flock of crows fly nearby. We then move on to Boruto (who's Karma seal activates in his right palm before he closes it) and Izuku (who activates the bio-electricity of One for All around him), along with the rest of Class 1-A in their hero costumes as they all stand in battle positions with firm expressions.
Observing the ruined land of Japan from afar is none other than Kara the Husk, who all have dark black cloaks as the wind breezes through them. We then cut to Kawaki being in what appears to be a test tube and blows a few bubbles as the eye of Kara's leader open gazes over him. This is when the Kara reveals their full appearances, starting with Jigen(who lets down his hood), followed by Delta(who puts a finger under her chin), Boro(who glares under his hood), Amado(who adjusts his glasses), Code(who stretches out an arm), Oga(who smiles nonchalantly), Deepa(who grins evilly), Victor(who frowns with cane in hand), Zorvus(who smirks while looking ahead) and Koji(who smirks with arms crossed over chest). It next shows all members assembled in an alley, with Jigen taking the lead on a stair, with a hand on the side of his head.
As the song heats up, we cut to the destroyed ruins of Japan, showing the entirety of Class 1-A dashing at high speed to engage the members of Kara, splitting up into different fights: Boro fighting off Tenya, Shikadai, and Fumikage before delivering a punch to the dark shadow, a kick to Fumikage, another to Shikadai, and an uppercut to Tenya's chin, knocking his helmet and glasses off. Delta taking on the 1-A girls, mainly 5: She swiftly smacks Momo via electric whip, side-steps a purple aura fist from Sumire and elbows here on the side, then grabs Tsuyu by her frog tongue(the latter tried to restrain the android but failed) and violently throws her into Ochaco(who tried to use her quirk to get a touch in but failed), and then Sarada jumps to try to get a strike in, but ends up repelled by the electric whip and punched in the face, knocking her glasses off. We then switch to Code doing a flip-kick to knock the hardened Eijiro to the ground, dodging snake-strikes from Mitsuki and palms him in the gut before dodging an Ice wave from Shoto, including his fire, before closing the distance and punches him in the chest that sends him flying, he then dodged an explosion from Katsuki, who proceeds to take him on. It next shows Koji engaging in close combat with Boruto, who manages to keep up and avoid his inflamed fists before jumping out the away as Izuku lunges at Koji with a smash, who avoids it at the last minute.
When the smoke clears, the two boys look around and are shocked to see their classmates defeated and unconscious around the battlefield. This causes Izuku to widen/grit his teeth in anger with surging red lines through his body while Boruto yells out in a fit of rage, activating his Karma throughout the right side of his body.
Next shows them fighting the 4 Kara inners, attacking nonstop. A combined attack is launched by Koji and Delta, and as it was about to land, Kawaki jumps into the fray and absorbs the attack, grimacing and revealing his own Karma seal. Surprised by this entry, Katsuki also joins the three, with them having no intention of giving up even while battered.
With the four of them united, they combat against the 4 inners. During this, Kawaki uses a red blast from his Karma, Bakugo uses his gauntlets to form a blast in the same manner respectively, Izuku throws his right fist forward, creating a massive shockwave that's on the level of his mentor while Boruto comes in through the smoke in mid-air and uses a gigantic Rasengan as the final blow. All 4 attacks create a huge explosion in the ruins of Japan, with the large sphere being enough to reach outside of earth.
Last panels show the smoke clearing and them being the only ones left, they're exhausted from fighting and look up at the sunset as it shines down on them and a crow flows by the three, including Kawaki, their new ally, before the song closes.
Chapter 75: The Vessel Revealed
Kara's Hideout:
In the dining room, Jigen's sinking his fork/knife into his meal, while Delta sits on the other side of the table and watches with an impatient look.
"Is it good, Jigen? I'm surprised you have an appetite." She expresses, with hand leaned against her cheek.
"..." He finishes chewing, "What's wrong, Delta? Are you dieting or something? Don't worry about such things. You're just as beautiful as ever." He notes, sarcastically.
"Cut the lame jokes." Delta gazes, "After what happened, nothing I eat has any flavor. I'm too concerned about our vessel." She adds in a glare, "That Koji... What's taking him so long?"
After sipping some wine from a glass, "Koji Kashin is adept. He's skilled, as well as intelligent." Jigen lists off, "And above all, he's committed to the mission. He would never abandon it midway." He adds, "However, he's also quite unpredictable. Something might've happened that triggered his curiosity."
"..." After a couple seconds, Delta gets frustrated and kicks the table right into the wall, destroying it along with Jigen's meal and wine, "I'm having trouble imagining anything intriguing enough to make him put off recovering the vessel." She states out, "What do you think it could be?"
Wiping his mouth with a napkin, "Relax." Jigen calmy replies, "I'm not done eating." He raises his hand and then out of nowhere, he summons another table, along with a new dish of his meal and glass/bottle of wine.
"..." Delta glares, left leg over her right.
"The vessel eventually return to us." Jigen assures, feasting on his meal again, "It's just not possible for it to escape from me." He sees the look Delta is giving off and replies, "Don't give me that scary look. I don't mind if you want to go there to see for yourself... if that will help put your mind at ease." he continues eating.
"Oh, I can?" Delta perks up, sounding delighted, "In that case, I'll take you up on that offer."
"However this is still Koji's mission." Jigen reminds, "You are to follow his lead, fundamentally..." He adds, "if there are any further issues, report back to me."
"Understood." Delta stands up, "Thank you, Jigen. Enjoy the rest of your meal." She leaves him to it.
While walking down the hallway, "I'm going to find out what Koji Kashin is thinking." She aims to make sure.
Unbeknownst to her, Code overheard that, "..." He then smirks, "So simple-minded."
Back in the dining room, after Jigen finishes his meal and sipping his glass of wine, "Are you sure about letting Delta go?" Amado asks.
"It doesn't matter." The leader replies.
"It makes it difficult when people are moving freely." The doctor said, hand to his beard, "I have plans I need to stick to here..."
"Like I said, it doesn't matter." Jigen stands up, "Don't let anyone near me for a while."
"Understood." Amado understands when the leader walks out.
Meanwhile, in a deserted/messed up small town, Delta(in her Inner cloak) walks by, ignoring the few civilians who are either unconscious or dead. After turning to a corner, she gazes ahead to see the air full of dust and a huge individual (a tall, overweight man who's wearing a mask that's wrapped around his head and has vents similar to a gas mask that also covers up his ears. He wears a purple long-sleeved shirt and pants with a white belt that has two tool pouches on each side as well as white leg warmers up to his shins and a tattered red shroud. Also has brown shin guards and sported mechanical claws.)
"Garo." Delta identifies as she walks up to him.
"Delta, that you?" He asks as his mechanical claw squeezes the head of his dead victim, "What a surprise. I never expected you to come here."
"We're heading to the borders outside Konoha city." She states.
"Konoha borders?" Garo narrows a brow.
"That's right." She smirks, "Depending on the situation, we're bringing back the Vessel."
"The Vessel? That hollow bastard?" Garo questions, knowing who it is.
"I'm sure you understand, but be gentle with him." She advises, making herself clear.
"Okay, no problem." Garo understands, chuckling before he drops his dead victim, "How fun!" He's raring to have at it.
Konoha Borders:
Back in the forest, the Pros/Interns check up on the unconscious boy, "He must have really exhausted himself in fighting off those puppets." Manuel figures.
"He's out cold, but none of his injuries are more than just scratches." Konohamaru identifies, "No broken bones, either. But more importantly... what's of concern is this." They all see the mark on Kawaki's left palm, surprising them.
"Is it the same mark as Boruto'?" Sarada voices.
"Seems like it." Mitsuki said.
"Can't tell if this is just a coincidence or not..." Shoto trails.
"What kind of quirk is that mark..." Tenya trails.
"Real question... who is he?" Izuku wonders, "He looks around the same age as us."
"Did these puppets for suit them all the way out here?" Katasuke gazes around, "Because I find it hard to believe that he took them down all by himself."
"All by himself he says... this guy!" Katsuki couldn't believe it inwardly as he gazes at the unconscious teen, "Even having the same mark on his palm as whiskers? Could he replicate the same thing that whiskers did back there? This whole 'mark' topic is already pissing me off!"
Boruto tries to put his hand near the unconscious guy, but only to keep small amounts of pain in his palm, "Urgh!" He holds his right hand quickly.
"Boruto?!" Izuku and Sarada exclaim in worry.
As the Blonde starts to feel the pain go down, "Urgh..." He hears the unconscious teen grunt as well.
"..." Boruto gazes in surprise, "He also felt the same pain... it's just like mine..."
As the unconscious boy sweats in pain, he recalls back to some bits of his past:
A house blew up in what seems to be the middle of nowhere. Out of it, comes out a little boy who was panting in frustration, his quirk receding. Then cuts to an alleyway, where he sits against the wall, with his head buried in his knees. He was tired and hungry... until he heard footsteps coming his way. By the time he looked up, a cloaked figure gazes down at him.
After a few words, "From this moment on..." The man lets down his cloak hood, revealing himself to be Jigen, "I am your father, Kawaki." He declares with a menacing/dark smirk.
"!" The boy gasps and sweats in fear, shaking as his eyes widen at the expression that the man is giving off.
"There's nothing to be afraid of." Jigen raises his hand out toward him, "Now... come with me." It then goes dark as the hand closes in.
In the present, "Urgh..." The unconscious boy, Kawaki, begins to come to after recalling his past.
"He's waking up!" Deku exclaims.
"D-Don't!"
"!" Konohamaru gasps.
"Don't!"
"Something's not right here...!" Manuel notices, standing up quickly.
Doing the same thing, "Everyone, get away from him!" Komago warns out.
"What?!" Boruto exclaims.
"Right now! Hurry!" He repeats.
As they all stand up, Kawaki begins to levitate in the air, with a surge of power surrounding him, "Don't..." He voices out, and with a loud uproar , "TOUCH ME!" He shouts in rage, with a burst of power that creates dust in the air and blows everyone back.
"UWOAH!" Boruto, Izuku, and Tenya widen while airborne.
"Tch!" Shoto, Mitsuki, and Sarada cover themselves.
"What is this?!" Bakugo exclaims propels himself downward.
After they all land, Kawaki is floating in mid-air, much to their surprise before he slowly comes down and lands, in the process, regaining consciousness and breathes out deeply, "..." He gazes around to see the Pros and Interns, with the group being cautious of him.
"W-What's going on?" Katasuke voices.
"Tch...!" The conscious teen scoffs.
"Hey... it seems he really was the one who took down the puppets." Manuel states in a gaze.
"...Who are you assholes?" Kawaki questions bluntly, "Are you pursuers from Kara?"
"Pursuers? N-No...!" Izuku stammers.
"You got it all wrong, we are-!" Boruto almost adds.
"Hold it, you two!" Komago halts and gazes at Kawaki, deciding to handle this himself, "Sorry about them... I'm Komago, a Pro Hero." He introduces.
"..." Kawaki glares in reply.
Watching from afar and atop a tree, Koji grimaces with his arms crossed over chest and is joined by Delta, who appears on the branch and smirks, "You're always so expressive, Koji. You looked annoyed that I'm here." She adds, "I'm so offended."
"Always a pleasure, Delta." He replies without a gaze to her, "Though, I don't recall inviting you here."
"Just so you know, Jigen gave me permission." She states, "I came to see what's taking you so long and the state of affairs."
"Hmph. I'm disappointed you have so little trust in me." He speaks, as their cloaks breeze out in the wind.
"That aside, why is Kawaki awake?" She asks, curious, "Why are you just standing back and watching the situation unfold?! And what happened to that outer, Ao?"
"Ao's dead." Koji reveals, with his usual grimace.
"He's dead? Then isn't that all the more reason to go out there?" Delta asks, confused with this... before she smirks, "If you're not going to make a move, then I'll help you out."
"You brought outer with you?" He asks in guessing.
"Yeah. I summoned Garo." She reveals in addition, "Let's be spectators and see what he can do."
"Good grief... that simpleton." Koji sighs.
Back to the confrontation:
"What does a Pro like you and your little trainees want with me?" Kawaki demands an answer.
"Little trainees, he said...!" Katsuki gets a tick mark from hearing that and balls his fists, definitely insulted.
"We have no intention of doing you any harm." Konohamaru assures calmly, "We came across this location in the course of investigating the crash of an airship within this border." He explains, "We just want to know what's going on." He adds, "Could you tell us?"
"And on what basis should I trust you assholes?" Kawaki remarks bluntly, "How about you just leave me alone?"
"Sorry, but we can't do that." Manuel chimes in, firmly, "I'm Manuel, a Pro hero as well. And trust us, we're not treating you as a villain.. but we don't want to consider you one either. So it's best to just cooperate with us for your own good."
"Fine... I've heard enough." Kawaki glares, "Looks like you want to die." He threatens.
"Wait, we're only-!" Tenya was gonna say.
Until Boruto interrupts and raises his palm out, "Hold on a minute!" He halts.
"Huh?" Kawaki narrows a brow.
"You know what this is, don't you?" The blonde shows the mark on his right palm, "You have one on your left hand too, right?"
"!" He's widens in shock, "That's a-!" He takes a couple steps up in recognizing the mark.
From afar, "Hold on...!" Delta's stunned too at Uzumaki having the mark, "What's the meaning of this?!"
"..." Koji only gazes in continuing to observe.
"Karma...!" Kawaki identifies upon seeing it on Boruto's hand, "You... why do you have that?"
"Karma?" Shoto voices in question.
"This thing's called a Karma?" Boruto gets it now, in surprise.
From afar, "Why does that kid... have a Karma?" Delta expresses surprise.
"Two Karmas..." Koji trails inwardly, "Now then. What's going to happen?" He watches curiously.
"What the hell is this thing?" Uzumaki asks.
Kawaki gazes for a second until he's suddenly on guard and hops back, "Don't screw with me!" He exclaims, "As I thought, you are pursers from Kara!"
"No, you got it all wrong!" Izuku assures quickly.
"Please, just calm down and hear us out!" Sarada too.
"We have no intend of fighting you!" Tenya says with hands up.
"Right now, I don't care about what you assholes are or whatever your circumstances may be..." Kawaki glares, in battle position, "If you wanna come at me all at once, then do it."
As they all get into position, Bakugo has had enough and steps forward, "You know, I've been quite for the last minute and this is annoying the hell out of me ..." He sneers, "Right now, I'm getting real sick and tired of you acting like your full of hot shit!" He exclaims.
"Hold it, Bakugo-" Komago tries halting.
"Do something about it then, you asshole!" Kawaki challenges, "I'll beat you all at your own game so bring it on why don't you!"
"Okay let's do it! I'm more than enough for you myself, you half-blonde bastard!" Katsuki roars back, cackling mini-explosives in palms.
Before they could fight, energy beams cone flying in and land between the group and Kawaki, causing dust to rise.
"Wha?!" Uzumaki/Midoriya cover from the smoke.
"The hell is this now?!" Same with Bakugo.
When the smoke clears and after Kawaki jumps back, they all gaze to the attacker who launched them, "Sorry to interrupt!" It's revealed to be Garo, with steam from his mechanical claw, "But I need to retrieve our precious Vessel!" He gazes wide and darkly.
"Who are you?!" Izuku gazes wide.
"One thing after another..." Sarada trails.
"Yes, they just keep coming out if nowhere..." Shoto too.
"Just what's going on?!" Tenya exclaims.
"Look, I don't know who the hell you are, but stay out of this!" Katsuki exclaims to the Outer, "This bastard is mine to crush!"
"No can do I'm afraid!" Garo grins under his mask, "This is a matter that doesn't concern little hero tranees like you." He taunts.
"Huh?!" Katsuki sneers, insulted.
"Still, it's a surprise you heroes have already made contact with the Vessel." The Outer states, "Looks like that geezer Ao messed up, huh? He's making us outers look bad!" He adds, "Well, whatever... thanks to him, I now have a chance to shine." He brags, gazing down at Kawaki next, "If I capture you and take you back, I'll be promoted to an Inner!"
"Tch, that buffoon! Flapping his loose lips." Delta scoffs, from the branch afar.
"The Vessel, he said?" Shoto narrows.
"They seem to be talking about the airships cargo that Ao was looking for." Manuel figures.
"Also, all this mention outers and Inners..." Komago trails.
"So that means..." Izuku voices in shock.
"Assholes like you shouldn't keep treating me like an object, you pig!" Kawaki exclaims at the outer.
"Don't get so riled up or try to look smart, you hollow bastard!" Garo taunts, "Be good and I'll take you back, real nice and gentle!"
"Take him back?" Tenya questions.
"Don't tell me, the Vessel is-?!" Sarada trails in noticing.
"Yeah..." Manuel nods, "Situation aside, it seems the Kara's target..."
"Is this young man." Konohamaru finishes in nodding too, "He's "The Vessel"."
"!" Some of the interns widen.
"Huh?!" Katsuki glares with a narrowed brow.
"You've got to be kidding me. This time, you'll lose much more than just your chin!" Kawaki exclaims at the Outer.
"Oh, don't worry. I haven't forgotten for what you did to my chin." Garo recalls and takes aim at the teen with his mechanical arm, readying to blast, "I'm not gonna kill you. I'm just gonna hurt you so bad, that you'll wish you were dead!" As soon as he states that, he fires two blast-shots at Kawaki, causing the others to cover from the dust when it landed.
Out of the smoke, Kawaki zooms with a serious expression and high-jumps into the air, "So fast!" Mitsuki comments inwardly.
"Hey, you're fights suppose to be with me!" Bakugo roars out, but ignored.
Kawaki forms what looks to be a black arm-blade and strikes down at Garo, who quickly blocks the strike with his right mechanical arm, "You're pretty weak right now." Garo taunts and chuckles arrogantly, "Looks like the job is gonna be a piece of cake." He states as they continue the interlock, "Today, I'm gonna smash your jaw!"
"Don't make me laugh." Kawaki remarks, "My handicap is perfect for fighting an asshole like you."
"...!" The interns and pros only gaze with serious expressions as they're about to witness what Kawaki can do in action against the Outer.
Ending 7 "Datte Atashi no Hiro" by LiSA
Opens up in the morning skies above Coruscant as it changes to shots of the training grounds, highways, and speeders flying through the air.
We then see Padawan Izuku leave his coordinates and happily running off to training, but ends up tripping/falling on his face, upon looking up, he sees fellow Padawan Boruto extending a hand to him with a grin, with Padawans Ochaco, Tenya, and Sumire being there too. Izuku smiles brightly as his blonde friend helps him up by hand.
Next shoots to Shoto in his coordinates, in a sitting position and as closes as he meditates near his opened window. After being done, he opens the door to see the MC's and his fellow padawans, which makes him crack a smile. As they walk in the hallways, they greet Sarada, who waves, and Mitsuki, who smiles casually, both Padawans as well. The group walk by the training grounds to see Katsuki cutting down a couple trees with his lightsaber in fury. When they call out in telling that it's time for training session with Jedi Master Aizawa, the hothead exclaims at them dramatically in not needing it.
This is when the sky goes dark/overcast and all Padawans look upward to see Kara Droids levitating above them, forcing the teens to get in battle positions, igniting their green Lightsabers with serious grimaces. We cut to the young Padawans taking on multiple Kara Droids: Uzumaki slicing one down by it's head and Midoriya slicing one in the middle. As it appears though they're surrounded, they receive backup from the rest of their fellow Padawans (Eijiro, Shikadai, Tsuyu, Iwabe, and everyone else in the class with their green lightsabers ignited). The MC's grin/smile with a nod before they continue the fight with increased numbers.
As the fight continues in the destroyed field, everyone starts to tire down, and another unit of Kara droids approach, the renegade Sith apprentice: Kawaki, ignites his red Lightsaber and uses force-lightning to electrocute half of them, surprising the teen Jedi's at his arrival. He grimaces at the Padawans, but decides to fight in lending a hand.
With this extra amount of strength from a new ally, the group stands united and perseveres in dealing with the rest of the Kara droids: Kawaki force-crushes two, Bakugo slashes one with a battle cry, Sarada and Mitsuki doing a combined slash, and Shoto force-pushing one into the other. With the droids dealt with, they face the last one, an enormous Kara Mega-Droid towering over them.
Despite how bruised, battered, and tired they are, the united front aren't ones to give up and the MC's charge before doing a Jedi high-jump in meeting the foe head-on. Everyone roots for the duo to finish this fight, including Bakugo(who grins) and Kawaki(who grimaces with wide eyes). Uzumaki's lightsaber changes to dark-blue while Midoriya's changes to light-blue, and with the final blow, they slash the enormous Mega-droid in half, defeating it and ending the battle.
It goes white as it was the pages read in a 1-A textbook before the song closes
A few minutes before Kawaki's awaken:
A portal opens up in Konoha city's border, coming from Kurogiri as he and Shigaraki exit the portal.
"This isn't Konoha city... where are we?" Tomura asks.
"We're in it's borders." Kurogiri explains, "I thought it's be best to start here instead of appearing in the middle of Konoha city, where various pros are on patrol, both on the streets and above."
"Ah... normally we're appear on top of a building or something, but I guess that's out of the question." Tomura grumbles, "Now... where too..." He gazss around.
This is when they see a huge gust of dust(when Kawaki awakens with a burst of aura).
"That sounded like an explosion." Kurogiri comments.
"Someone using their quirk all the way out here, eh..." Tomura trails, "Take us to that location, Kurogiri... but to make sure that we're not seen..."
"Understood." The warp villain complies and teleports them.
By the time they get to the location, they see Garo firing off a blast at Kawaki, who lungs out the smoke, dashing up the cliff and strikes with his arm-blade that Garo blocks with his mechanical claw.
"What do we have here..." Tomura's already intrigued as they stand behind a couple trees, out of sight.
"It seems as though they're just about to start their battle." Kurogiri states, "But one thing I can tell... is that neither of them are pro heroes or anything of that sort."
"Obviously... it'd be out of character for them to do this..." Tomura grumbles, "Moving on..." He sets his gaze at Kawaki, "Judging by the way he's acting... that half-blonde kid looks to have the potential to be a villain." He adds, "I'm intrigued on how this will go..."
He sets his sights on the fight that's about to unfold, now being one of the three spectors to observe.
One of Boruto's best animated fights begin! With the heroes/interns, Delta/Koji, and Shigaraki/Kurogiri spectating the show!
What happens next as they see a full display of Kawaki's skills against Garo? Find out next time!
