Chapter 31: Slice Of Life Chapter!? And Plot Progression!?

*THE NEXT DAY*

Antoine barely made it to school on time after staying up all night. He accidentally skipped the opening ceremony before class. Thankfully no one managed to catch him and he made it into class without any being the wiser. Nothing in particular happened today in class except with Aizawa-sensei explaining about hero internships. Hero internships are basically hero activities done off-campus. A more formal and serious version of the field training done after the sports festival.

"WHAT WAS THE POINT OF TRYING SO HARD AT THE SPORTS FESTIVAL THEN!?"

"The hero internships are an opportunity for you to make use of the connections you made at the sports festival. They're not linked to classes at all, but rather managed at the discretion of students themselves. That being the case, if you made no such connections at the sports festival, I imagine it'd be very difficult to participate in such activities. In the past, each office would conduct their own recruiting efforts, but it often caused a lot of trouble because they would fight over U.A. students. And that's why it is the way it is now." Aizawa answered.

"Oh. I understand now.."

"Now Present Mic will be taking over for first period now." Aizawa said as he walked away with a very eager and loud Present Mic coming in.

The rest of the day was spent learning and soon school was over. Antoine, Toru, and Yuga were inside Toru's dorm room. Yuga was laying on the bed throwing some bandages in the air and catching it while Toru and Antoine were playing on her video game console.

"Hahahaahah how do you like you fucking noob!? Eat my fucking shotty bitch!" Antoine cackled into the gaming headset.

"Hehehe! You need to play better than that if you wanna kill me!" Toru giggled into the mic.

The two of them were playing an online first-person shooter and partied up to play against other players around the world. The two teams were separated into teams of 8 and currently Antoine was mvp for his team while Toru came a very close second behind him in terms of placement on the scoreboard.

"Fuck up noob! I facking eat your mother pussy! Mother bitch." An opposing player on the enemy team insulted.

Antoine had a wide grin on his face as he stared at the screen while moving his hands like a gaming legend.

"Maybe talk shit when you can get a kill you fucking 0-10 piece of shit!" Antoine responded back.

"Can you guys stop being so toxic…? It's just a game."

"SHUT UP NOOB! YOU SUCK DICK!" The foreign player from earlier cursed.

"YEAH SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU LITTLE PUSSY BITCH! Ooh stop being toxic. Ooh my feeling are being hurt. Ooh I'm in need of a desperate cock in my ass." Antoine mocked his voice.

Toru was laughing her ass off as Antoine, the foreigner, and the "peacemaker" went back and forth all throughout the match.

"I'll just report and mute you guys… I don't know why I even bothered talking in the first place…" The Peacemaker said as he went silent.

"YOU ARE LITTLE BITCH! ONLY BITCH NOOB REPORT AND MUTE!" The Foreigner continued to yell with his low-quality mic.

"Yeah! Fucking do it you little pussy ass bitch! Run away and hide like you probably do in real life!" Antoine added on as the Peacemaker suddenly left the game.

It was at this point that Antoine, Toru, the Foreigner, and a few others inside the match laughed after realizing the Peacemaker left the server.

"AHAHAHAHAH THE MOTHER FUCKER QUIT!!! AND HE SAID I WAS TAKING THIS GAME TOO SERIOUSLY!!!" Antoine hollered over the mic.

"HAHAAHAHA!" Toru couldn't control herself either and started laughing over the mic as well.

Eventually Antoine's team won the match and he received a friend request from the Foreigner with the shitty mic. Of course, he accepted it and Antoine and Toru started looking for another lobby to join. After a couple of hours later, the two stopped playing video games and decided to go see a movie late at night with Yuga.

"I'm been wanting to see this movie for so long!" Toru said excitedly as the trio walked to the movie theaters.

"Yeah I can't believe we finally got around to get up and actually go see it." Yuga said.

"Well there's just so many great things to watch on NetFlex and other streaming programs like it." Antoine pointed out.

"Yeah that's true. But we need to get out more often though! Even though we're training to be heroes that doesn't mean we can't have a little fun and act our age at the same time!" Toru said as Antoine paid for their tickets for the movie and went inside the movie theater.

They had around half an hour before their movie started and decided to play a few of the arcade games to pass the time.

"Thanks for paying for us Antoine." Yuga said as he inserted a token into the air hockey machine.

"Yeah yeah. If you really wanna pay me back just hook me up with a fine little piece of ass alright?" Antoine responded putting in his own token into the machine.

The air hockey table whirred to life as Antoine and Yuga grabbed their strikers. Yuga placed the puck on the table. Toru was behind them playing one of those shooting arcade games where you shoot at aliens, dinosaurs, skeltons, or whatever creature the game was based on that jumped on the screen and came towards you. She held a large toy futuristic gun attached to the arcade machine while firing at whatever enemy appeared on the screen. Sometimes growling in anger when accidentally shooting friendlies that popped up on the screen.

"I don't think I could do that. Not to mention that I don't even know any girls really except for Toru!" Yuga said seriously as he knocked the puck forward.

"Come on Yuga! A handsome fit bastard like you has to have women just waiting in lines for ya. I definitely noticed some of the girls in class staring from time to time." Antoine smiled as he returned the puck back to Yuga.

"No way…" He answered back not believing it in the slightest. "Who..?" He asked after a few seconds.

Antoine grinned as Yuga's skill was decreasing the more he distracted the boy.

"I could name a few….." Antoine intentionally dragged on.

"Like who? There's no way one of the girls could be interested in me…" Yuga said still obviously very interested in which girl(s) were looking at him.

Antoine scored a point on the mentally distracted teen in puberty and soon the second round began.

"I mean…. I know for a fact that whatshername looks at you nearly every day in class. What was her name again…?" Antoine asked himself as he exaggeratedly strained to think of which girl it could've been.

Yuga would've figured out that Antoine was messing with him if he was in a better state of mind because both he and Toru know that Antoine doesn't forget anything and can recall any piece of information from his memory.

"Is it Ashido?! Asui!? Jiro? Or Yaoyorozu?!" He sprouted off as Antoine scored a second point on him. He slammed the puck on the table as Antoine continued to mess with him.

"Nhnnnn…" He groaned acting as if he didn't know which girl was which. "I think…. It was….." Antoine saw the puck coming towards him and Yuga's left side defense was completely open.

"URARAKA!!!!!!!!" Antoine shouted as he struck the puck as hard as he could into Yuga's open left side.

"IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!" Yuga yelled back as he returned Antoine's attack with a fierce counterattack.

The puck seemingly vanished as Yuga returned the shot and scored into Antoine's goal, making the score 2-1. Antoine looked on in disbelief and shock at the fact that Yuga managed to score a goal on him.

"Uraraka likes Midoriya!!! Now I know you're just messing with me!!" Yuga shouted as a fierce blue light of fire sparkled in his eyes, intent on gaining revenge on Antoine.

"Hey… wait a minute Yuga my best bud… my best pal…" Antoine tried to calm down the enraged boy whose had his feelings played with.

Antoine placed the puck on the table and hit it towards Yuga's side. Yuga seemingly uppercutted with his striker, struck the puck into Antoine's goal like a meteor crashing through the atmosphere. The table jingled as it tallied the score to 2-2 and Yuga's fighting spirit ablaze. Antoine realized it was do or die time. There was no way he was capable of taking the victory with Yuga in that state… Unless…

Antoine started lowly chuckling as he secretly buffed his muscles up without changing his outer appearance too much and placed the puck on the table and fired off towards Yuga's goal with a new found speed. Yuga returned the shot back towards Antoine and the two engaged in a high-speed game of air hockey.

*CLANG*

"I DIDN'T THINK YOU WOULD SINK SO LOW ANTOINE!" He hit the puck with enough force to cause the striker to crack.

"YOU KNOW EXACTLY HOW FAR I WOULD GO TO WIN!!!!" Antoine responded back as he launched the puck so hard it seemingly vanished while his striker also cracked from the large amount of strength being used on it.

"YOU MIGHT BE RIGHT BUT THAT'S STILL A CRAPPY THING TO DO!!!!!" He returned the basically unseeable shot and caused his striker to crack even more. Most likely unable to handle another shot similar to that last one.

"YOU ARE TWO LIVES TOO LATE TO LECTURE ME ABOUT WHAT'S CRAPPY AND WHAT'S NOT!!!" He blasted the unbelievably fast puck back towards Yuga's goal and caused his striker to be on the verge of destruction.

"WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN!!!!????"

"WHO KNOWS!?!?!!?!"

Yuga struck his striker against the puck and had it shatter from the impact. Antoine returned the puck back with a destructive counter and also had his striker crumble into pieces. However, the game wasn't over yet just because their pucks were destroyed. Yuga refused to be stand down over this, he will show Antoine the error of his ways by defeating him in this ARCADE SPORTS GAME! Yuga sent a right straight towards the incoming puck with just his fist and launched it towards Antoine.

"YOU FUCKING SPARKLING BASTARD!!!!!!!!" Antoine shouted in defeat as the puck struck against his chest and knocked him all the way into the opposite side of the room. His muscle quirk softened much of the blow against the wall for him but didn't lessen the blow of the huge defeat he suffered against Yuga.

He hung his head down in anger and regret.

'That desperate piece of shit….!' Antoine cursed as a hand suddenly appeared in front of his face.

Yuga stood over the downed Antoine with a relieved smile on his face and his hand held out.

"Let's go watch that movie now."

Antoine slapped his hand and got up.

"Yeah yeah whatever. You got lucky punk. I'll win next time." Antoine muttered before calling Toru over.

The three went to see their movie and left behind a few new marks at their local theatre. The remains of two red strikers, a missing puck, and an unbelievable new high score added to the Predators vs Unidentified Beings arcade game.

*THREE DAYS LATER*

Antoine was watching as his classmates faced off against the Big Three. Togata, the intangibility quirk guy with the vault guy face from that one game. Hado, the very blunt and endlessly curious girl with the shockwave quirk. And lastly the shy one, Amajiki, who could assimilate characteristics of whatever he has previously ate that's still in his system. Antoine wondered if he ate a human would he gain the ability to manifest a second brain, or heart, or limbs. It was a rather dark line of thinking but interesting nonetheless.

"Why aren't you two out there?" Aizawa asked.

"I haven't obtained my provisional license yet." Todoroki explained.

"I'm not getting my assed kicked. I haven't made something to counter that broken ass quirk without any gear on me." Antoine responded.

"You won't be able to prepare for everything out on the field Neil.." Aizawa told him.

"With enough experience I will. I mean after seeing Vault Boy over there, I now will have something to prepare for opponents who can phase through things." Antoine replied.

"What if you're in a position where you meet an opponent whose quirk you didn't prepare for?" Todoroki asked.

"It wouldn't matter. Unless they have reality-bending powers, time powers, or something like that, I can handle mostly anything that comes at me." Antoine said while to Aizawa and Todoroki it sounded like the bragging of an arrogant genius who hasn't been taught a lesson yet.

After Togata completely wiped out Class A, school continued on as normally and ended soon after. Antoine brought Toru and Yuga to his secret lab with a creepy grin on his face. He avoided any areas where his test subjects were and brought them to the area he wanted.

He evilly laughed as they arrived in a small white room.

"So. Yuga. Toru. What did you think of Vault Boy?"

"Vault Boy…?" Yuga asked confused.

"Oh my god he does look like him!!" Toru suddenly realized.

"Togata." Antoine clarified.

"He's really strong. Really strong…" Yuga said touching his bruised stomach.

"Yeah he's amazing! He worked so hard to become that strong! I'll have to step up on my training as well!" Toru decided, now motivated to work even harder.

"I'm glad you said that Toru! I've put together a training plan just for you two!! You see… Vault Boy is incredibly powerful but how is that..? His quirk just allows him to phase through things and become intangible. But why was he strong enough to incapacitate both Midoriya and his superpower quirk and a hardened Kirishima with just his bare fist? That's because... OF ALL MIGHT'S PREVIOUS SIDEKICK!! Sir Nighteye composed an inhumane training regimen for Mirio and allowed him to gain his inhuman body, prediction skills, and vast mastery over his quirk." Antoine explained in a grandly excited manner.

"Wow… I guess anyone that's involved with All Might has to be impressive.." Toru commented.

"Are you planning on having us on a training plan that's similar to Mirio's training?" Yuga asked.

"CORRECT A MUNDO!!!! I've recently devised a serum that will completely heal any damages to the body as long as the drinker has enough energy. Somewhat like Recovery Girl's quirk but without the threat of death. If you don't have enough energy, the serum will simply not work and your body won't be healed. I will be using this serum and giving it to you two after a long intense and terrible training session that will break your body and possibly mind apart. But that's if you two even want to try it out."

Toru and Yuga looked at each other for a second and then looked back at Antoine.

"Well of course we'll do it!" Toru replied.

"You won't catch me missing any chance of getting stronger!" Yuga answered.

"Fantastic!!! I'll turn you both into superhuman capable of punching through steel itself, running faster than people with speed quirks, and tough enough to withstand the weight of buildings! The limits of the human body are meant to be broken and overcame!!! THROUGH SCIENCE AND WILLPOWER!!!!!"

"WILLPOWER!!!!!!!" Toru and Yuga shouted along with him just as excited.

So, Antoine had the two begin their insane training programs as multiple androids scanned their vitals and bodies amidst their training. If any signs of danger is present the training will be stopped and the medical androids dressed in pink would take care of them till they recovered enough to start the training again. They were nicknamed Nurse J and all looked very similar to each other, as if sisters.

It was nearing nighttime and Antoine had the two stop. Toru and Yuga dropped to the ground unable to move a single muscle as Antoine fed them the serum. Their bodies twitched and spasmed in an unnatural manner for a few seconds after swallowing the bright blue serum and soon they were capable of moving again.

*ROARRRRRRRR*

Their stomachs growled with the intensity of a starving dragon and their eyes turned red.

"FOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!" They demanded.

Antoine led them to a large table filled with various foods. All the food were all part of a proper balanced diet with no unnecessary or unhealthy food added in the mix. Drool flowed out of their mouths like a waterfall before they pounced on the food like starving lions.

Antoine laughed as he went into the kitchen.

"I guess making this bad boy wasn't a waste of time after all." He slapped the stove as he grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge.

[ Enhanced Stove – This kitchen appliance has been created with the intention of enhancing all food prepared on or inside of this item.

25% Increase in quality of cooked foods.

40% Increase in taste of all finished products.

20% Decrease in time needed to finish cooking products.

All cooked products give a moderate mood boost when eaten. (Can not stack)]

Antoine returned back into the makeshift dining room and saw a huge bellied Toru and Yuga lying on the middle of the table. They had a perpetual smile on their face as they rolled around like pigs. All the food was gone or reduced to the parts you don't eat.

"That was the greatest food I've ever tasted….." Toru said aloud.

"Who made those heavenly delicacies….? It's a chef d'œuvre.." Yuga commented.

"A training plan is nothing without a balanced and proper diet. But everyone knows that eating tasty food is way more important than a crummy diet. That's why I've made the best of the best for my best friends in the whole world! Both healthy and tasty!"

"I love you Antoine…." Toru rolled onto the floor with a bounce.

"Marry us…." Yuga said holding his stomach in a blissful manner.

"Yeah yeah I'm the best in the world I know. Come on you two. We need to get back to the dorms." Antoine said rolling them out of his secret lab and onto the streets. He grabbed two gliders on his way out and gave them to Toru and Yuga as all three of them flew back towards the dorms.

"Whoa…! How do I control this thing?!" Yuga asked flying clumsily and trying to gain his balance.

"Use your feet to direct it, lean your body forward, and that's it. You won't fall because your feet are strapped in." Antoine told him as Toru was flying circles around the two screaming in joy.

"WHOO HOOO!!!!!"

Eventually the trio made it back to the dorms and fell asleep soon after since they had classes in the morning.

*A FEW DAYS LATER*

Antoine applied to intern with Fat Gum along with Kirishima. Amajiki brought them to Fat Gum and he accepted the two boys quite easily. There wasn't a test or anything like that necessary. So, Antoine was quite elated at being accepted by the hero despite his hidden objective for even applying with the hero. The group was currently patrolling outside.

"These days all the hoodlums and delinquents have been getting into so many fights!!" Fat Gum stated while eating a whole tray of takoyaki.

"Anyway, the hero office here doesn't really like to take up arms. You two are in the right place." He told Kirishima and Antoine.

"Looking forward to it!!!" Kirishima responded enthusiastically.

"Sounds good to me." Antoine responded.

"If only you went after Mirio or Nejire… the way you came after me so forcefully was scary." Amajiki commented about Kirishima.

Antoine offered the boy a meal at a local joint to be introduced to Fat Gum's agency and couldn't say no after being pressured by Antoine's shameless personality.

"Tamaki, we've got to do something about that cruddy mentality of yours. You've got so much talent too!!" Fat Gum pointed out.

"That kind of pressure will only bring me down further." He retorted.

The group continued their patrol until a civilian shouted out for help. There was a fight nearby and the group dashed over to find out what was happening. The group responsible for making the trouble ran straight into the hero group and were swiftly taken down. Antoine searched and found the guy who was going to shoot shy senpai with the bullet that temporarily stops the use of quirks. He ran towards the shooter who had the gun. One of his tentacles caught the bullet as Antoine chased after the frightened criminal.

"GET AWAY!! I SAID DON' FOLLOW ME!!" He shouted while running to a dead end.

"Don't fucking shoot and run you pussy. I ain't gonna hurt ya much!" Antoine chuckled as he cornered the man.

The criminal realized he had no way out and sprouted three small blades along his forearm. He attempted to slice Antoine's throat but was kicked in the stomach before he could. Antoine crossed his arms with an evil smile on his face.

"It's not fair… I only pop out 10cm or shorter blades ya know… That's like a cutter knife… so unfair.." He sobbed. "I jus' wanted ta save mah friends. I'm so stupid! But it's so scary..! Yeh should praise me for bein' brave enough to pull the trigger..!"

A few seconds of silence passed by.

"Are you fucking retarded? Who would praise a gunman for shooting his gun? In what world does that make sense ya fucking idiot!?" Antoine mercilessly berated as his tentacles held down the criminal's arms and legs while his searching for the treasure he's been looking for this entire time. Eventually he found it on the inside of the villain's shirt pocket and stuffed it into his inventory before any civilians could see him pocketing something.

"NO!! GIVE THAT BACK!!! IT'S MINE!!!" He cried out deliriously before being punched in the stomach by Antoine's tentacle and fainting afterwards.

"Did you all enjoy the show?" Antoine asked turning around with a satisfied smile on his face.

The people in the alleyway started clapping and cheering for him.

"Thanks kid!"

"Nice going man!"

"What's your name!?"

"The Ultimate Craftsman. The future #1 Pro Hero!" He responded as he handcuffed the criminal's hands and legs while covering his mouth close with a strange piece of silver tape.. He had one of his tentacles carry him as he returned back to his group.

'I might have to help Kirishima unlock his second form after taking away his plot powerup… Or he'll be useless in the upcoming raid on Overhaul.' Antoine thought before sighing. 'Fine I guess I'll help him at least gain the form.. But after that he'll have to train on his own. This is only because he helped me gain the hint to evolving or at the very least upgrading quirks for my own.'

Antoine returned to Fat Gum and the other two with the criminal in hand.

"Wow! I'm impressed Craftsman! You took down the villain, saved Tamaki from being shot, and helped all those people without a single injury or problem. Those little octopus arms of yours are really cool." Fat Gum complimented.

"Yeah Neil you were awesome! You went straight towards that shooter like a madman! I swear I even thought you were smiling when you went after him!" Kirishima pointed out.

'Was I really smiling…?' Antoine thought back unsure.

"Such a terrible showing… What kind of senpai am I?" Amajiki said sullenly.

"Don't think too much on it senpai. We all get lucky sometimes and I guess it was just my turn to be lucky." Antoine comforted him.

The group then headed back to the office and separated for the day.

Chapter 32: Planning A Rescue & Raid!

*SOME TIME LATER*

"Me found them! Me found----" A excited little girl's voice was cut off as a similarly sized figure shushed her.

"Shh! We can't let them know we found their hideout. We have to make sure they have the thing. Go look through the window but don't get caught." A little boy's voice told her as his body was slowly spinning around.

The wild looking little girl nodded excitedly as she started scaling the building with just her fingers and toes. They dug into the building quite easily and she soon reached the floor the suspicious figures were. She raised her head and looked through the window.

"This is all the trigger we could bring on such short notice. Getting imports from Asia isn't that easy you know. Do you have the cash?"

"Here." The feminine figure threw over a black suitcase slight opened, filled with cash.

The scarred huge man with the drugs handed his case over as well. This is when the little girl signaled to her little friend. He nodded before jumping through the window. The little girl followed behind him by pouncing towards the drug case and grabbing it before jumping to the top of the ceiling and digging into it with her claws, making her hang from the ceiling like a monkey. She then placed the handle of the suitcase in her mouth, freeing her hands for combat.

"Sarah! Make sure they don't take the case! I've called her and she should be here in a few moments!" The childish voice said.

"WHO THE FUCK!? CHILDREN!? GET THEM!" The large burly man said as a group of men started charging inside the room.

"It's you two….." The feminine figure said slightly shivering.

"Woman! She scaped! Last time Tiptop!" Sarah tried to say as one of the goons tossed a black sphere like object at her.

Sarah bounced from the ceiling and pounced towards the guy who threw the strange object at her. He wasn't able to react in time to her unnatural speed and was kicked in the gut by the child robot and launched through the wall. The large criminal charged towards Sarah but was stopped by Tiptop, who kicked him in the arm and made him slide across the room.

"That actually kind of hurt you stinking brat!!" He said rubbing his arm. His body started changing as he activated his quirk. His shirt tore apart as white wings sprouted from his back along with a white spiral horn atop his forehead.

"Haha what the hell? A big tough guy like you with a freaking Pegasus quirk?! Hahahahaha!" Tiptop laughed as the criminal seemed ready to burst one of the veins on his forehead.

The man aimed his horn at Tiptop before firing a pink beam towards the pokémon android. Tiptop's body began rapidly spinning and as the beam made contact with the brown and blue cyclone, it deflected back towards the large man and blasted him out of the window.

"AGHHHHHH!!!" He yelled while falling out of the building before suddenly stopping his decent with his wings and slowly hovering in the air even more pissed than ever.

He was about to fly back into the building but just before he could start rising upward, he was kicked out of the sky and lodged into the ground.

"Neep!" A familiar bird honked as she easily defeated the flying man with a yellow aura swirling around her.

She ran up the building and into the room where all the action was taking place to see Sarah and Tiptop finishing up the rest of the criminals. Sarah had a fiery aura swirling around her while Tiptop had a light blue icy aura around him.

"Rawr Rawr!" Sarah shouted happily as she ran on all fours over to Runner Road with the drug case's handle bit down in her mouth.

"RR." Tiptop corrected as he grabbed the money case and placed it on top of his head, slowly spinning 360 degrees like the rest of his body.

Runner Road rubbed Sarah's hair with her foot before motioning the two to get on her back. Sarah crawled up her leg like a bug and Tiptop jumped up. The trio of androids heard sirens in the distance and vanished without a sound with their objective successfully completed.

*SOME TIME LATER THE SAME DAY*

"I assume the mission went well…" Medic asked the trio who arrived in the secret lab.

"Me did it!"

"It is "I did it." Sarah. Did the modifications work as intended?" He asked while taking the drug case from Sarah.

"Yep Doc. They worked perfectly. Too bad those guys were so weak; I barely had the chance to use it." Tiptop stated unsatisfied.

Sarah's blonde hair slowly lifted in the air before bursting flames along with her body. Tiptop's body started ramping up in speed as he turned into a mini blizzard cyclone. Runner Road reappeared in different spots in the room without even looking like she took a single step. Medic smiled in satisfaction as he started walking down the corridor.

"I seems our Creator's modifications are quite impressive. Not even I know how he managed to harness the power of the elements and more. Such a grand and mysterious individual…" Medic said with passion and fierce reverent.

"Neep. Neep!" Runner Road honked.

"Ah yes… You're right. My apologizes Runner. Let's not get distracted." Medic refocused.

The group walked into a room and were met face to face with a purple furred adult gorilla. Its body was filled with scars and stiches. As soon as saw Medic, it went into an absolute rage and began banging on its containment cell. It was a large see-through box type of cell. The amount of strength in its punches caused its cell to violently shake. Sarah growled at the primate and bared her teeth at it while Tiptop started taunting it.

"To make sure that you all weren't fooled, we have to test one of them to know if they work." Medic said as he opened the door to the gorilla's cell and quickly closed the door behind him as the Gorilla ran full speed towards him.

Medic pulled out a few surgical sutures as the beast leapt towards him overhead with its fists intent on smashing him to paste. Medic smoothly avoided the beast's attack and got behind him as his thread wrapped the animal up. It screeched and hollered as it tried to break free from the seemingly normal looking threads that tied its body up. Eventually once it figured out that brute force wasn't enough, green smoke began ejecting from its body.

"You're sleeping gas won't be able to affect me. I have no need for breathing after all haha." He politely mocked before injecting the creature with the drug known as Trigger.

The gorilla started screaming even louder than it was earlier before suddenly…. Medic's threads passed right through it.

"Oh ho…. It does work. It seems the quirk enhancing drug managed to advance your sleeping gas quirk into becoming a gaseous being entirely!" Medic exclaimed excitedly.

The gorilla, now a green gaseous figure shaped like a gorilla, punched forward with its enlarged fist. Medic was sent flying to the other side of the cell from the attack and recovered effortlessly. He dusted off his medical suit as he put away his sutures and pulled out two light blue gloves.

*SLAP SLAP*

"Now. Let's begin shall we?"

The Gorilla seemingly mindless flew towards Medic intent on smashing him to pieces. The beast wildly punched repeatedly as Medic easily dodged the now even stronger creature. Eventually the creature's mind came back to it as it suddenly used its gas to surround Medic and then capture him! Medic's body was completely immobilized as the creature's gas slowly crushed him.

"Well done." He smiled. "I didn't think you'd be capable of such tactics. But I've gained enough data from you. It's time to put a halt to this line testing." Medic spoke calmly as his hand went into his arm and came back out transformed into a hose.

The hose then began sucking up the quirk-using animal's gas body. It screamed and shouted while trying to resist the suction force from the hose but wasn't able to get free itself in time before Medic completely sucked it up. Medic eventually released the gas creature into a sealed jar before exiting from the containment cell and smiling in a satisfied way towards the other three.

'I'd say its gas is strong enough to put a herd of elephants to sleep when it only previously capable of making a human sleep for 24 hours at full strength.'

"The mission was a success. I thank you all for your hard work. You may return to your usual activities while I send this to get analyzed." Medic said holding the case full of Trigger.

"Bai Bai Medic!!" Sarah waved as she got on Runner Road's back.

"See ya later Doc. I'm going to go see if Smokey is doing anything fun after I give this moolah to the money dudes." Tiptop said.

The four androids went along their way and did whatever they usually do when they aren't asked to do something. While on the other side of the secret lab, three teenagers were together.

"I got somewhere to be today, so I won't be able to stick around after you two. The foods already made in the "feast room" apparently and the nurses will give you the serum when you're done." Antoine told them even though they were being worked so hard that they couldn't even give him a response.

"Don't forget to push your quirk to the limit as well! Alright I'm out bitches!! Got hero shit to do." Antoine said as he left Yuga and Toru in the secret lab and then hopping on his glider and flying off.

The Overhaul arc was coming soon and Antoine just had to get his hands-on Overhaul's broken ass quirk. Not to mention that his research with the Trigger drug is almost complete. Soon he'll be able to exponentially increase the power of someone's quirk without any side effects! All through a neat device that could attach itself to the wearer. He couldn't wait to test it out himself and maybe even give Yuga and Toru a copy. He was interested in seeing the peak of Yuga's powers and his many stolen quirks at their possible apex.

Eventually Antoine made it to the meeting where the heroes and sidekicks were going to talk about saving Eri and raiding Overhaul's hideout. He landed down just as Midoriya, Kirishima, Uraraka, Asui, and the big three were about to enter the large building.

"Senpai. Hardhead. Others." He greeted.

"Neil is here too?!" Uraraka exclaimed.

"Something big has to be going on for sure." Midoriya pointed out.

"Well you fuckers ain't gonna figure out standing out here. Let's go in already." Antoine said as he was about to go in through the electronic sliding doors.

"Hey wait up Neil! I wanted to thank you for those badass gloves you gave me and helping me take my quirk one step further. You ran off before I could thank you man." Kirishima thanked.

[ Relentless Battle Gloves – These gloves were made based on the ancient battle gauntlets used in Ancient Greece boxing competitions. The main intention of this weapon was for the user to have an unrelenting offensive assault till their opponent is broken and beaten into submission.

Such as breaking a limb, incapacitating blows, eye attacks, and such.) Buff lasts for 2 minutes and restarts when a critical blow is achieved.

All strikes slightly drains the opponent's stamina. (Does not give drained stamina to wearer.)

Wearer slowly becomes weaker when on the defensive and will progressively get weaker the longer the wearer stays in a defensive position.]

Antoine looked at him annoyed as Midoriya, Asui, and Uraraka had shocked looks on their faces. But Antoine was actually pretty happy his work was being appreciated, not to mention Midoriya is still wearing his watch he gave him from the provisional exam.

"Hmph. I didn't do it for you Rockhead. I just can't stand being brought down by others." He snorted before walking inside without them.

"Does he think that me and Fat Gum are liabilities as well…? He gave us some gear too…" Amajiki questioned in a sullen mood.

"Haha don't worry senpai! I got a feeling that maybe he's just doing it to protect us in his own special way." Kirishima said while patting Amajiki's back.

"I kind of have that feeling as well Kirishima." Midoriya agreed.

"He's still kind of scary to me though.. I mean did you see the way he took down the shooter in that video? It was so brutal and shocking…" Uraraka shivered.

"It made me a bit scared too. The way he treated that guy and didn't care for a second about his crying and desperate pleas. It makes me shudder thinking about what if he was on the other side.." Asui added.

"Come on now! Is that any way to talk about your fellow classmate?! Let's go inside and figure out what we're all needed here for!" Togata said trying to defuse the negative atmosphere.

*INSIDE*

"Gran Torino huh…. I'm happy even the elderly are still respected in this hero business. You must have a really strong quirk for them to have invited you as well. And hello sensei." Antoine chatted to Gran Torino and Aizawa.

"Not a bad guess kid." He said before turning away while Aizawa greeted him back.

"Fat Gum. How are the boots so far?" Antoine asked.

"I'm still getting used to them but they are great! They resize to whatever shape I'm in and now I'm more capable than ever! You're pretty amazing Neil." Fat Gum complimented.

[ Rocket Boots – These boots were made with decent materials and were intended on burst speed rather than constant high-speed movement, long distance movement, or flight.

+30 Str added to stats when equipped.

+30 Agl added to stats when equipped.

Wearer can use the engine built inside to boost their speeds.

Capable of boosting wearer's speed in three different speeds. X2, X3, and X4.

Higher chance of malfunctioning at higher speeds.

Can reform to fit any user.]

"Good to hear."

Then the man of the hour came inside the room, Sir Nighteye.

"Thanks to all of the information you supplied, the investigation has progressed considerably. The small Yakuza organization, The Eightfold Cleansers… What exactly are they plotting? Along with the sharing of acquired information, I would like to consult you all today!" He told them as they were led into the meeting room.

The meeting began and Nighteye and his sidekicks began explaining how they have been observing a certain villain group known as The Eightfold Cleansers. Sir Nighteye's office has been investigating the group for over a year and found out that the organization is moving with the intent to expand themselves and accumulate funds. Not to mention that they have been in contact with the League of Villains.

"Not those fuckers again…" Antoine muttered.

"Oh yeah… aren't you the boy that was kidnapped by them?" Hado bluntly asked.

The irritation could be visibly seen on Antoine's face as he controlled himself not to fiercely rebuke Hado, despite her remark being correct in that he was kidnapped. His classmates fully expected him to curse out Hado for bringing up that experience for Neil but were genuinely surprised when he held it in and let it go. Aizawa was similarly surprised as well and pleased to see that maybe Neil was changing slowly.

But despite their thoughts, Antoine hasn't changed at all.

'I swear I'm going to beat the shit out of you, you fat tittied bitch. I don't even know how fucking Compress managed to sneak up behind me even with Lackey's assistance. Like I could've done anything against that bullshit.' He cursed internally.

"Please continue…" He grinded his teeth.

The meeting continued on to talk about how the Eightfold Cleansers were in acquisition of a bullet that erases quirks. Albeit, temporarily. The bullet was identified as capable of damaging a person's quirk factor and not allowing them to use their quirk for hours. But it was explained that the quirk factor could recover from this damage with plenty of rest. (A quirk factor is the mechanism that actively lets a person use their quirk, not the quirk itself.) And the ingredients used to manufacture such a bullet was identified as human blood and human cells, causing many in the room to show a myriad of negative emotions.

"In other words… That effect is derived from a person or, a quirk… A quirk to destroy other quirks…"

The meeting continued on and explained that this drug was connected to the Cleansers loosely. But then Sir Nighteye brought forth some more information that would connect the drug to the Cleanser more solidly.

"The quirk of the capo, Chisaki is named overhaul. It's a power that can disassemble and reassemble any target. A quirk that can dismantle… To destroy and repair at once. That, along with the bullets that can destroy quirks."

"So he's making bullets out of the kid's body.." Antoine muttered for everyone too slow on the uptake.

Making many of the pros and sidekicks enraged and sickened. Though eventually, they calmed down enough to continue the meeting to discuss exactly how they should go about attacking the gangster group. They've found many locations and groups that are associated with the Cleansers and asked all the heroes and sidekicks present to help in locating the Cleansers.

"Locating the girl and securing her rescue! Our goal is to resolve the situation as quickly and effectively as possible. Thank you all for your cooperation." Sir Nighteye said, finishing up the meeting.

Everyone dispersed and the U.A. students took off together. They sat together at a table as Midoriya explained exactly why he and Mirio were so bummed out.

"So frustrating….."

"Deku…."

"While I can't say I would have done the same, I can't exactly fault you. It's not like you would've stood a chance against a guy who's capable of disassembling and reassembling anything. But then again… with your full speed and Vault Boy's speed, I'm sure you could have easily outran that fucker after taking the kid…" Antoine muttered, not helping in the slightest.

"Neil!" Uraraka shouted.

He glared at her and swiftly shut her down.

"Neil come on man." Kirishima said indicating that what he said wasn't cool.

"No… He's right… but that's in the past now. I have to make up for my mistakes. I will save her this time." Midoriya said determined, also rousing Mirio from his bad mood.

"You're right Midoriya! We have to do our best now to make up for the mistakes we made failing her before. We will save that child." Togata said.

The group eventually dispersed and everyone went home. They were on standby until Eri's whereabouts were determined the days afterwards.

*IN THE SECRET LAB*

Antoine was watching over as the animals in his care continued to show more and more quirks related to those he's stolen from people over time. Using nanites, he was capable of rearranging the genes of embryos of pregnant animals. He had the nanites reform them into similar genes like those of the quirks he's stolen.

"A dog with an additional tail capable of spinning them at fast speeds and propelling the dog into higher speeds. A goldfish that is able to harden its fins and use them to defend itself or attack others. A turtle with wings. A cat that can shapeshift its tail into different objects. And even a chicken that's the size of a giraffe." Antoine started chuckling lowly before erupting into a full-blown mad scientist laugh. "FANTASTIC!!! BUT THIS ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH! Everyone knows that evolution is made through successfully passing on genes that were made to survive. So, having all of these animals in this testing environment is more harmful than beneficial future wise." Antoine said while rubbing his chin.

"It seems I might have to create something like Jurassic park… or a type of area where these guys can live freely, die freely, and breed freely." His face slowly transitioned into a smile. "I'm going to have to make a fucking better version of zoo if I want to see any big changes. I'll have to make an environment fit for all these different types of animals and make sure they aren't affected by any human actions." Antoine decided before ordering certain androids to come to his position.

"I need some free land. Wide enough to contain all these creatures to live like regular wild animals. If it's not in the budget, then open up trades across the world. I'm sure that the rest of the world would like to buy some of our wares. Build some cages or boxes that can hold these animals when it's time to transport them. Even the intangible ones. I'll open up a few more things to sell to the masses, to increase the amount of money we're gaining." Antoine said. 'I'm sure the world would like some T-shirts that increased their confidence or made them appear a bit more attractive to others. Or some appliances that gave certain buffs to the things they've worked on.'

"Use the drones for transporting like usual, but if something unfortunate happens to them on their journey, make sure they self-destruct along with the costumer's item. Have a different drone take a different route to resend that costumer their purchased merchandise and give them a 10% discount for making them take longer. You can leave now." Antoine ordered the robots. 'Eventually I'll make drones capable of flying fast enough that it'll only take a few hours to deliver even if the costumer is in Canada!'

The androids dispersed and Antoine grinned as he watched his progress on the trigger drug increasing more and more.

"Maybe it'll finish before the raid starts. But I'm not sure I'd be able to use it with so many people around. Let's keep it a secret for now. Until I get enough power to take over countries I suppose. Who knows what could happen to me if I revealed I had a way to upgrade quirks? Even I'm not all-knowing."
