Chapter 52: Chapter 52 - Raid
...
<Japan / Kyoto Police Station / 7:00>
Inside a large but simple room, around 60 people could be seen actively chatting with each other. Despite what this would look like in any other situation, the air in the room was tense and stiff.
The majority of the people in the room were highly trained police officers while the minority were Heroes. Unlike the meeting at the Nighteye Agency, where there were only a few Heroes present, here there were at least more than 15 of them.
Despite their smaller numbers compared to the police, they did not dare to compare themselves with Heroes of the level of Mirko or Mt.Lady who clearly surpassed them in strength and experience by a long margin.
However, the police were not happy to work with so many Heroes as they would obviously take the least credit for the whole operation. This made for a small air of animosity between the two groups that made them feel tense, as if they were cats and dogs.
While the two sides were talking "amicably", Tracer was leaning against a wall while looking at all the people present with a blank stare, she didn't know if it was from being surrounded by so many people in one room but she felt... strange, the feeling somewhat similar to what she felt before the USJ Incident, which was clearly not a good sign.
"I didn't expect there to be so many people" Lena muttered with a sigh as she looked around at all the people gathered in the room.
"Well it's normal isn't it?" Commented Mirio startling her by his sudden appearance, for such a stupidly tall idiot he was pretty stealthy. "I mean, the more people the better no?"
"I guess, but I can't help but feel something's wrong like all this..." Lena grimaced worriedly, but before she could say anything else, a small bump on her head snapped her out of her pessimistic thoughts. "Oi! And why was that?"
"Bad thoughts bring bad results, it's better to think positive to get good results, you know?" Mirio said with an empathetic smile. "Besides, you should relax a bit, we are only Aspirants so most of the operation will be in the hand of the Pro-Heroes."
"Still-"
Suddenly the door to the room opened to reveal two people.
The first to enter was none other than the all-seeing Hero, Nighteye.
The second person was a tall woman with fair skin and pure white hair. However, what caught the attention of everyone in the room was her peculiar purple eyes, which had no pupils but rather strange black circles that made her gaze seem strangely distracted and focused at the same time.
To everyone in the room it was quite obvious the woman's beauty from a mile away, it was the kind of beauty that made you admire her with just a glance.
Lena was about to ask Mirio who the woman was but was interrupted by Nighteye.
"I see everyone is gathered here..."
Everyone in the room stopped paying attention to the beautiful woman and turned their full attention to Nighteye, the Senior Leader of the Operation.
"As you know the Raid to the Hashimoto will start at 8 o'clock, we will be divided into 3 teams of 20 people..." Nighteye began to go over the roles of each Team during the operation.
Alpha Team led by Mirko this team will be in charge of the main assault on the Hashimoto's Lair, their mission is to capture as many yakuza as possible, but they must give priority to Reaper, Yunma and Lot over the others. This team was where Mirio and Lena had been placed, mainly to act as support for the Heroes but they were free to do as they pleased.
The Beta Team led by Burnin and Mt.Lady, this Team would be in charge of supporting the Alpha Team in case they needed reinforcements and, unless the situation warranted it, they would not actively participate in combat.
The Omega Team led by Nighteye and the beautiful woman apparently named Kojo, are in charge of communication and giving orders to the other teams while guarding the perimeter. Apparently during the operation no one is allowed to enter or leave the perimeter.
Apparently Kojo's Quirk would be what would allow us to communicate without the need for radios or electronic devices.
"All right! Let the Raid begin!"

<Japan / 8:00>
It was a beautiful day outside.
The children are singing.
The flowers are blooming-
BOOOOOM!!!
-and the doors explode.
Suddenly the armored door of the warehouse exploded letting in daylight briefly blinding everyone inside.
"What the fuck?!"
"Shit my eyes!"
"BUHAHAHAHAHAHA!" just then a loud laugh caused most of the villains to briefly freeze as they turned their full attention to the warehouse door. "Looks like we went down the rabbit hole!"
Suddenly from the light emerged several shadows that quickly took the form of several Heroes and Cops. The Hashimoto didn't stand idly by and quickly took up combat positions, some of them had their Quirks ready to be activated at any moment, clearly they had trained for situations like this.
"What the hell are they doing here?!"
"You want to die you dirty rats?!"
"Don't you know who you're messing with?!"
Another laugh silenced the entire warehouse, the Hashimoto's watched with resignation as a small woman dressed as a bunny confidently advanced to come face to face with the Hashimoto's, clearly she was the leader of the group of people who dared to attack them in broad daylight.
"Of course we know who we're messing with!" Mirko exclaimed with a wide grin pulling at her lips as she put her arms on her hips, before leaning mockingly forward. "Some very ugly and very rotten bastards!"
"Bitch!"
A black-haired woman quickly advanced towards Mirko, her fists turning a metallic purple color before throwing a series of punches at Mirko, the latter is moved with excellent footwork that dodged the woman's barrage of punches without any trouble.
"Stand still!"
Deciding to stop playing, Mirko moved so fast that she seemed to have disappeared from the woman's sight.
"Huh?"
Suddenly a hard blow hit her in the temple causing her to lose consciousness in record time.
Mirko looked at the woman with disappointment before looking at the terrified Hashimoto, a slight chuckle escaped her lips.
"This is all you have?" Mirko exclaimed with a smirk that filled most of the Hashimoto with anger, but they still didn't dare to take a single step.
Both sides stared at each other, no one was willing to make the first move.
Clap
Clap
Clap
"Gentlemen and ladies" Suddenly a man approaching middle age made his way through the crowd of the Hashimoto's as he slowly clapped his hands drawing all attention to himself. "It seems that a party has been scheduled in this beautiful abode without our consent."
"Lot" Mirko murmured as she intently watched every move of the person in front of her.
Lot.
It was the code name of one of the leaders of the Hashimoto.
He was a medium tall man with a strangely pale skin which had different black marks running all over his body, he was dressed elegantly in a black suit with white stripes, his eyes were closed... or so it seemed but it was quite clear that he could see without any problem. His hair was covered in gray but that left a few black strands showing on it.
The most noticeable thing about him would be the monocle on his left eye and his long mustache.
Although he looked like an ordinary person at first glance, the aura around him would set off all the danger bells in the heads of all the Heroes present.
"Oh! What an honor to be recognized by a high-ranking Hero like you, Miss Mirko" Lot chuckled good-naturedly while looking at Mirko as if her was no big deal. "Unfortunately I have to ask you to leave before the situation escalates to a point of no return, which none of us want, do we?"
Mirko looked at him blankly before frowning slightly. "You are all under arrest for trafficking in illicit substances, and you are charged with human trafficking, rape, murder, breaking and entering a private dwelling and kidnapping. Turn yourselves in right now and I may reduce your sentences-"
Lot interrupted her as she laughed lightly. "Oh, that's a real shame-"
Lot raised his arm straight out in front of him before revealing a relaxed smile on his face. Suddenly the alarms in Mirko's head sounded louder than ever.
"-that you all must die right now-"
"Everybody get down on the ground!"
BRROOOOOOOMMMMM!
Almost as if an earthquake passed over their heads, a huge shockwave destroyed almost the entire front of the warehouse as if it had never been there in the first place. It even completely obliterated the building in front of the warehouse.
Mirko and the others quickly got up and took combat positions. She absentmindedly noticed that 4 policemen had failed to react in time and now their cold bodies were staining the floor with blood. Everything from their hips up was gone, as if they had been ripped off leaving only a pair of legs.
"Oh! I see you managed to survive!" Lot exclaimed as if it was high praise. "As expected from Miss Mirko's minions!"
Mirko glared angrily at Lot before quickly lunging at him, Mirko seemed to turn into a white comet from the absurd force generated by her legs.
"Bastard!"
Lot seemed surprised by the sudden attack but still managed to react fast enough to avoid the attack by the skin of his teeth. He quickly responded by pointing one of his fingers towards Mirko, but the latter had already moved from her previous place and appeared right in front of Lot connecting a kick that sent him flying towards the back of the warehouse generating a cloud of dust from the force of the attack.
Mirko sneered for a moment before looking around, she saw how the henchmen were starting to sneak out through a secret entrance behind a wall. Mirko was about to head towards the minions but a cough brought her attention back to the small cloud of dust surrounding Lot.
"Fufufu! I must say for such a beautiful lady you sure hit hard!"
Mirko's eyes widened in surprise at how Lot had managed to escape unscathed from a direct attack of her own.
'This could be exciting!' Mirko thought as a predatory grin formed on her face. 'But first-'
"Go and capture the Hashimoto! Don't let them escape!" Mirko barked her orders as she quickly jumped towards Lot. "I'll take care of Lot! Go now!"
The Alpha Team members didn't think twice and headed straight for the entrance as they launched various devices in an attempt to capture the henchmen who had yet to enter.
Lena and Mirio gave Mirko a conflicted look before following the others down the stairs.
"Truly clever of you Miss Mirko" Mirko turned her attention back to Lot, who was looking at her with a smirk. "You lead your troops towards our lair to arrest the rest of us, with that you also eliminate the possibility that I can take hostages. Besides, you want to fight with all your might, don't you?"
Mirko smiled confidently as she looked at Lot mischievously. "A simple but efficient plan don't you think?"
"But there's a miscalculation in that my dear Mirko" Lot commented as he ripped off the top of his smart suit, exposing his muscles trapped in a black t-shirt. "I don't have to hold back either now that there are no minions around me..."
They both stared at each other for a moment before running straight at each other.
