Chapter 10: Kidnapping Incident
Author: Geraint
(MC's POV)
After working out in the gym and had spar, Rumi and I went straight back home together.
Rumi decided to live in a apartment near our orphanage two years ago while she do her hero work in our city. That is why, she can now visit me often without running a long distance from her hometown.
Right now, I am walking her home into her apartment.
"Uuuugh! This is frustrating! Why are you so slippery, Ichika?! I can't hit you with any of my kicks!"
"Why are you so eager on kicking me? If you just use your fist, I will catch it with the mitts!"
"I want a real spar! Not punching workout! Kicking is better than punching!"
"I agree with you in that but it's the best when you learn both!"
We are quarreling over not having a fruitful training.
All I did is keep dodging her lethal kicks.
It's very deadly and I can't block it in this child form.
Now, she's really frustrated and want me to have another round with her.
"Ichika! I can't take this anymore! Let's fight right here!"
"You already sweat a lot! Please give me a break!" I retorted.
"Grrrrrrr~"
After sending her home, she growls at me from the gate.
"See ya later, Rumi!"
"Wait! We're not finish yet! Ichika! Come back here!"
I just left her just like that while waving my hand.
"Ichika!"

Arriving near to my orphanage,
"Uuuuuuuuu~"
"Huh?"
I saw the two little girls from the orphanage crying at the side of the road.
The bad feeling I felt yesterday came true and it happened quickly.
The two of them are Risa's close friends.
"Maya! Kanna! Where's Risa! Why are you girls outside the orphanage?!"
(I already warned not to come out of the orphanage without adults watching over them.)
"Uuuuuuu~ Onii-chan, I'm sorry! I asked Risa-chan to accompany us to look for something outside but white van stopped before us and the scary men came out and grabbed Risa-chan!"
"Bad guys took Risa-chan! Please save him, Ichika-oniichan! Uuuuuu~"
(Sh*t! Why it has to be now?!)
I immediately took out my phone and opened my GPS program.
Tracking the position of Risa in the map, I can see it is moving away very fast from my position.
I'm glad that she's the one I gave the keychain with tracking place on it. Now, I can search for her easily.
"You girls, go back inside the orphanage and tell this to the orphanage caretaker."
"Uuuuu~ What about you, Onii-chan?"
I smiled,
"I'll make sure to bring her back. Don't worry."
The two girls ran back inside the orphanage.
I covered my head with my hood so no one will be recognized me and immediately went to place with no people around.
"Let's do this... Captain Falcon!"
I was shrouded in flames and transformed into an adult wearing a fly suit and helmet.
"Wait for me, Risa! I'm gonna save you!"
My fist burst into flames.
(Img<<<)
(I have 45 minutes to save her.)
Following the direction in my phone, I immediately dash forward.
I have to ran as fast as I can and do a lot of shortcuts to catch up with the kidnappers.
Noticing the kidnapper's vehicle went to the highway, I didn't have any choice but follow them on that road.
The people saw me on the way,
"Wait! Did you saw that?"
"Was it All Might?"
"No! He's wearing a helmet."
Most people didn't saw me because their eyes can't catch up with my speed and they were only surprised when I passed them.
While running, I noticed someone chasing me behind my back.
"This presence... There's only one person I know who can catch up with my speed."
Looking behind, I saw All Might in his hero costume running after me.
"Is that you, Captain Falcon?! I thought you died from that explosion!" he yelled and asked me.
...
"Answer me!"
"Yeah, I'm Captain Falcon. As you can see, I'm alive. I guess you can call it a miracle that I survived that explosion."
I saw the kidnappers made a left in my phone.
"Why only show yourself now? All the people now knows that you're supposed to be dead!"
...
"I have my own circumstances, All Might! After that incident, I learned that they're actually planning to place a bounty on my head. Just how much the hero association hates me."
"I understand how you feel but there's a law that forbids the people from using their quirks in the public. Your heroic actions causes a lot of people look up to you and that encourages them to perform heroic acts without hero license! It might be fine if it just you but what about other people? A lot of incidents happened now is caused by illegal heroes!"
Hearing his explanation, I'm starting to realize what he means.
Hero license is granted to someone who finished in training his/her quirk. This gives them the privilege to use their quirk in the public.
Being save by a illegal hero in big disaster is the same as letting a quack doctor perform a surgery on your body. Even I wouldn't want that.
What if something bad happens and the person being save died because of the illegal hero's negligence and lack of training? It's really bad.
Popularity? Fame? Money?
Now, I think about it. It doesn't have anything to do with hero license. It just nothing but a privilege only to become a hero. The problem is just the wannabe heroes which granted by it.
"I guess taking a hero license is not actually bad. It saves me from a lot of trouble." I mumbled while turning left side.
"Falcon!"
"Okay! Okay! I give up! I'm gonna take a hero license so stop pestering me about it!"
"Haha! I'm looking forward working with you as a pro hero, Captain Falcon!"
"Shut up! You should prepare for the worst later!"
"What do you mean?" All Might frowned, asking me with serious tone.
"You'll see later."

It was already night when we arrived near the abandoned warehouse.
(I saw in my phone that kidnapper's vehicle stopped around here.)
Looking around cautiously,
"Huh?"
I felt someone approaching us from behind.
Turning around, I saw a tall, sturdily-built man with a very muscular physique. He has short crimson hair which he wears spiked up around his head and sharp turquoise eyes. His beard and mustache appear to be made of fire.
His outfit consist of a tight, navy turquoise bodysuit, with lines of flames streaming across his chest, upper torso, arms, and most prominently his shoulders. He uses his flames as a makeshift mask around his eyes, and the tall boots he wears appear to be either made of fire themselves or constantly left alight, as only their soles and laces are visible around the flames. He sports white bracers on his lower arms, styled in a cage pattern, and a blue belt with a pouch attached on either side.
(Img<<<)
"All Might! What's the meaning of this?!" he shouted as several people appeared from the shadows and surrounded us.
"Endeavor! Wait! Let me explain!"
All Might is trying to convince him.
Looking at the people surrounding us one by one and I can already guess from their outfit that they are pro heroes just like All Might.
"That's Captain Falcon, right? He's alive!"
"That means, the bounty on his head..."
"Yeah... catching him will get us big bucks."
"Then, I'll make sure that he won't escape and catch him "
Some of the pro heroes surrounding us shows the greediness on their faces when they recognize me.
Endeavor walked towards me but All Might went between us.
"Listen to me, Endeavor! Captain Falcon is---"
"He's a fugitive, All Might! The Hero Association asked us to catch him immediately! Don't tell me, you're going against the rules of hero association?!"
Endeavor became angry.
"That's right, All Might! The bounty is huge if hero association place it back on his head."
"Yeah, that's a lot of money!"
"Most rich people hired him as a bodyguard than us real heroes!"
"Captain Falcon is really bad for our business!"
"Because of him our agency---"
"Shut up!"
I yelled very loud.
(I don't have time to listen to their nonsense quarrel and hear their complaints. My time is running out and I have 15 minutes remaining to maintain this form. I can feel my strength slowly dwindling.)
All the pro heroes frowned at me.
Checking again my phone,
(There's no mistake, they're inside that old warehouse. I have to hurry.)
I just ignore them and move forward.
"Where are you going, Mr. Fugitive?"
A female pro hero blocked my way.
She was atall, curvaceous woman with sky blue eyes, which tilted downwards in the center; framed by a set of rather long eyelashes. She had long thick spiky dark purple hair, which was made up of layers of varying lengths, the longest ones reaching down below her waist. Her chin-length bangs were split into three sections; two swept to the sides and one over her face, going diagonally down to the left between her eyes. She also had a small beauty mark below her left eye, as well as red-painted nails.
Her hero costume was very similar to one of a traditional dominatrix. She wore a breastless, black leather leotard—similar in style to a corset—over a thin, skin-tight, white bodysuit which accentuated her voluptuous figure.

(R-Rated Hero... Midnight.)
She moved her hand slowly as she touch me on the chest, feeling up my muscles.
"Why don't you just surrender yourself to me?"
(Anyone who get closer to her will put into sleep with her Aroma but...)
I just move my right hand and flicked her in the forehead.
"Uu!"
*Peeeeeww*
I nullify her quirk.
"Huh? My quirk?! It's didn't activate!"
She was completely shock.
Every pro hero around became very cautious of me.
"Catch me? You guys are nothing without your quirks! Facing someone like me will turn you guys into normal people without quirks. Do you have the guts to fight me?"
All the pro heroes around became afraid of me.
"Falcon..." All Might mumbled.
I just continue to walked forward as they move away from my path.
All Might decided to follow after me.
(To be continued.)
(A/N: Next... I'll fix my mistakes later.)
