Shortly after the Christmas holidays, the police along with the heroes, including my old acquaintance Sotrigolova, were able to reach the main base of the Villain Factory, responsible for the mutant attacks in Naruhata, and missing people, by the way some of the mutants were just identified as missing residents of Naruhata. According to the police, this place, the Onomura Pharmaceutical Company building. Together with Aizawa, the operation went to another hero Fatgum, aka Taishiro Toyomitsu, he looks exactly like a ball on legs.
His 'Fat Absorption' quirk is the ability to store a large amount of incoming energy in fat, including kinetic energy, which can be released once in the form of a powerful shockwave at the cost of all the stored fat. The ability is useful, but disposable like a match. With a shield as strong as this, I don't think they'll have a problem.
Police officer and detective Naomasa Tsukauchi will be in charge of the operation. Nice guy, it's a pity that there are not enough of such guys in the police. On the downside, he doesn't like vigilantes, but police officers don't like them at all.
Tsukauchi's 'Lie Detector' quirk allows him to track the physiological signals of any person he touches, allowing him to determine if the person is lying or not. But it doesn't always work, for example, when a person is relaxed or doesn't believe they are lying.
Fun fact, Tsukauchi has a younger sister named Makoto, a beautiful and sweet girl, only a little inquisitive, from the sister of a detective is not to be expected. She studies at the university with Koichi, and they have recently started an affair. She was helping Captain Celebrity with his PR campaign in Japan, and she had a hand in Skyline's farewell party.
The party was going to be huge and heavily advertised, so I bought a couple of tickets to the party, which I decided to go to with Kazuho to unwind.
If I wanted to, I'd have to run to the supposed base of the evil ones before the law enforcement, but I doubt I'd meet their boss there, so I'd better leave it at that. I already know all the necessary information, through hacked cameras, so it's better to devote my free time to romance with a schoolgirl.
The party was held in the city's tallest tower, the Tokyo Sky Egg, a 500 metre high egg-shaped structure with a dome above the tower. I have to say, getting tickets was not a cheap endeavour, as the party attracted over fifty thousand people, which is a lot of numbers.
- Wow, it's beautiful. - Kazuho looked mesmerised at the majestic building while sipping her coffee.
- Well, yes, with this can not argue, but the most interesting, we are waiting inside. - I took the girl's hand, which confused her a little. - Are you serious? We've already kissed, and I've touched you in all the wrong places, and you're embarrassed just to hold hands?
- Nothing, I'm not embarrassed. - She stuck her nose up proudly.
- You're such a tsundere Kazuho. - I kissed her.
- P-let's go already... - she mumbled under her nose and wrapped her arm around mine and led the way.
The party invited the most famous heroes in Japan, except for the Almighty, who wasn't there for some reason, and he couldn't be uninvited, so he was probably busy right now, but it wasn't surprising with his popularity.
There were a lot of heroes, but only a few I remember well...and naturally, they were only beautiful girls.
The first of the heroines was Uwabami, a mature woman with firm forms, wearing a back-opening dress and long blonde hair. Her distinguishing feature is a quirk in the form of the tips of her hair in the shape of three snakes: a rattlesnake, a king cobra, and a Japanese rat snake.
She's cute, but she's more of an actress and advertising model than a heroine, but nowadays, that's the norm.
Also at the party came a team of heroes Wild Wildcats, consisting of three girls and one man. Girls in catgirl costumes with short skirts, just a treat for my eyes. But the big big man in a catgirl costume made me very tense...and scared me.
At the party gathered heroes of all stripes, with the most unusual appearance, which in this world is not surprising. Much more surprising when I saw a hero looking like a washing machine...hmmm, I wonder where the gas cooker hero or the TV hero is? God, sometimes you see such crap that you stop being surprised by everything else.
From the celebrities came Ryuko Tatsuma, aka the dragon heroine Ryukyu, a beautiful blonde in a dress that looks like a Chinese qipao and a half-mask that covers half her face. Her transformation-type quirk gives her the ability to transform into a real dragon herself.
But for me, it was Midnight, the 18+ heroine aka Nemuri Kayama, the sexy lady in the BDSM costume over a white bodysuit and a whip in her hands, who overshadowed all of today's girls. Midnight's 'Sleepy Scent' quirk allows her to put her opponents to sleep with the help of a scent emanating from her skin. To activate it, all she has to do is tear her clothes anywhere. The quirk has a stronger effect on men than women. That's the kind of pervert I wouldn't mind meeting.
- Wow, there are so many cool characters here! - Kazuho watched mesmerised at the show that the pro-heroes put on using their quirks as we stood in the middle of the roaring crowd of fans.
- Are you that interested in watching, this clowning around? - I looked sceptically at the girl.
- What's the big deal? - Kazuho did not understand me.
- Yes I can arrange such a light show in my backyard.
- So what if all these people came here because they admire heroes and want to be like them! You're a hero too, Akira. A lot of people believe in you and want to be like you! - she exclaimed, pointing her finger at me.
- I'd be lying if I said I wasn't flattered by people's attention, but chasing popularity isn't what I want. - I replied and turned my gaze back to the performance. Kazuho didn't say anything in response. I was the first to break the silence. - That's right, I forgot to ask you about it. What do you want to be after graduation?
- Um, to be honest, I haven't really thought about it. When I was a kid, I wanted to be a singer, and I started performing on the streets for that reason. Who knows, maybe I'll be a famous singer in the future? Oh, I'm sorry, you must think I'm stupid, right?
- No, dreams are dreams, they can come true one day...if you work hard to fulfil your dream. Anyway, you can count on my support.
- Thank you! Ahem, I mean, I'm grateful for that. - Kazuho went back into tsundere mode for a while. - What are your plans for the future?
- I plan to go to Yuei.
- What, you want to get a licence, and become a hero in the law? - She said in surprise.
- No, I want to become stronger.
- Um, I don't see the point. - Kazuho tilted her head questioningly. - Why would you want to join a hero academy? You're already strong, stronger than anyone I know.
- Kazuho, I may be strong, but I'm certainly not the strongest in the world. There are many people out there, and there's bound to be someone stronger than me. I want to enter Yuei because it can help develop my strength, I want to become so strong that no one can hurt my loved ones...so that no one can hurt you. - I stroked the girl's cheek.
- Akira, I-I-I...I'm so glad I met you. - She was embarrassed and hugged my arm.
I guess going to the party wasn't such a bad idea after all. I wasn't lying when I said with Kazuho that I wanted to get stronger to protect her, that's true, but not all of it. I'm constantly training so I don't get killed and start this story all over again as a toddler, and when I have the responsibility of being a cute schoolgirl now, dying isn't exactly in my plans. Plus, my grandfather instilled in me the excitement of fighting a strong enemy, and I won't be me if I don't do it.
- Oh, look, it's Miruko! The heroine that recently debuted. - Kazuho shouted, looking at the new heroine, and I was a little surprised.
What can I say, fate is a strange thing. Rumi Usagiyama, the schoolgirl I met in an underground ring seven years ago, had become a heroine after all. She went from a young, swarthy, schoolgirl bunny girl to the sexy, pumped-up bunny heroine Miruko. Her hero costume suits her well, it consists of a white sleeveless bodysuit with dark purple trim around her shoulders and waist, with a white fluffy collar, a large yellow crescent moon on her chest and two thick metal plates on her stomach. She wears purple thigh-length boots to complement her bodysuit, with lots of padding around her heel and toe, making her feet look like rabbit paws. She also has a pair of thickened white gloves on her hands, with long cuffs and little triangular protrusions around the edges. Sexy, in a word, sexy.
Reflections on my old acquaintance were interrupted when I received a message on my pocket wristband. The raid on the hidden lab of the Villain Factory was almost a success. Why almost?
The police with Aizawa and Fatgum did manage to get into the lab, almost without resistance or casualties, but at the time of the raid, there was that unknown man with the O-Cloke quirk, complete with mutants with wings that looked exactly like a recently self-detonated mutant. I couldn't catch them, they escaped at the last moment and blew up part of the building from the inside and split up, the unknown man disappeared from my sight and the mutants are flying purposefully towards the tower where I am now.
- What happened? - Kazuho asked, seeing my far from happy face, received the news.
- We need to evacuate the people. - I replied, sending a command to the drones through the wristband to track the missing evil one. And at that moment, there was a strong shock, like an earthquake, and then another one, it was an electromagnetic pulse that knocked out all the electronics in the tower, including the lights, because of this stopped working lifts, but there are still emergency stairs, which are blocked for some damn reason. - It's a mess. Okay, listen to me carefully, the tower is under attack by mutant bombers, I'll deal with them, and you keep a low profile, okay?
- Yeah... - Kazuho replied and kissed me with a slight hesitation. - It's for luck, though you'll still be able to do it. - She smiled embarrassedly.
- You've given me an extra motivation to cheer. - I ran to the next room where there was no one, using the inventory, instantly put on my hero costume and broke through the glass window.
Outside, the situation was much worse. The bombers still managed to get to the tower and blow up part of it, but the tower is now held by Captain Celebrity. Since he is holding the building, to defend himself from the attacking mutant, he has no opportunity, I rushed to his aid. Next to him, there was also Koichi, clinging to the roof.
- Hold on! - I sent a light slash at the mutant, cutting off half of his torso and wing, causing him to start falling. - Hey Celebriti, are you alive?
- Y-yes. - replied a battered and bruised Skyline.
I flew over to him and patched him up with some life energy so he wouldn't drop his tower and pass out from the pain. Koichi shouted something addressed to me, but since we were too high up and at a good distance, I didn't understand what he said.
- The wounds are healing!? - was the Captain's surprise when I swung my green-glowing hand at him. - You're that vigilante everyone talks about, I thought you'd be taller.
- My name is Tengu, keep holding the tower while I chase the mutant away from you. - I flew towards the wounded monster that had already regenerated its wounds.
Mutant-bomber does not have outstanding strength, its advantage is in regeneration, it literally can explode its limbs, driving away the enemy, and then regenerate, which he demonstrated in the fight.
- Where are you going?! - I shouted, seeing that the enemy is purposefully flying towards Celebriti, it seems that the Unknown controls mutants remotely. - You won't escape! - I pushed off the wall and flew towards him, pulling my blade out of its sheath.
- Heaven's Cut! - I shouted, having just made up the name of the technique to...well, to look cool. I concentrated five times as much energy into the blade as I would with a normal energy slash, this action briefly giving my katana the effect of a plasma sword.
Attacking the enemy, my sword easily sliced him in half, leaving behind an arc of light...and just in case, I slashed him five more times with the same attack.
Even after being cut into sashimi, the monster continued to regenerate, albeit at a much slower rate due to the damage. And here my favourite katana had come to an end.....
- Eh. - I sighed, because from such loads, all the metal melted, from my sword remained only the hilt. Well, it's not time to mourn my faithful comrade, the enemy is not yet defeated.
It was dangerous to use more powerful attacks near the tower, so I rammed the recovering mutant carcass at full speed, straight to the top, away from the humans, where I could not hold back and fired a compressed plasma beam at him, burning his entire body. This attack had an effect, he finally stopped regenerating, falling to the ground, a pile of meat and bones.
While I was fighting the Bomber, some of the heroes, Ryukyu, Miruko and another hero called Snipe, got out of the tower and dealt with the second mutant, which created a pulse that knocked out all the electronics. To help the Celebriti, came the Hero of Threads: Best Jeans, real name Tsunaga Hakamada, he is a hero, included in the top ten top heroes of Japan. His quirk is 'Thread Lord', which allows Top Jeans to freely manipulate the fibres of cloth from a distance. The ability is especially effective when working with denim, which is why his costume is made up entirely of it.
Plus, Aizawa and Tsukauchi arrived to help in the service helicopter, but there was no landing pad for the aircraft on the roof of the tower and they had to land below.
Best Jeans, was able to contact the police to have lorries of steel wire brought here. Since this is also fibres, he was able to easily reinforce the structure of the tower with them, after which the citizens can be safely escorted out of the building.
- You're Tengu, right? - Best Jeans recognised me when I landed, next to all the heroes. - It was dangerous, you're too young to put your life at risk. - he started to reprimand me.
- Look, your Jeansness, I didn't risk my hide to listen to a leftist lecture. - I dismissed him and turned to Rumi, who was staring at me suspiciously. - Rumi, stop staring at me, or I'm starting to think you're into little boys.
- What?! - shouted loudly, a little shocked Miruko.
- Miruko, do you know him? - asked Ryukyu standing next to her.
- Of course he does, I've crushed the chocolate rabbit's gorgeous thighs more than once. - I said with a grin on my face.
- Oh, you! Wait, I remember you! You're that little brat from the underground fighting tournament! - she pointed her finger at me.
- Yeah, that's me.
- Back in the day, you were too small to be beaten...but now you're gonna get your arse kicked! - she finished belligerently and swung her left leg for a kick.
- Oops, that was close. - I ducked just in time to avoid getting hit in the face.
- Miruko's a teenager, and they're often hormonal, so I don't think it's a good idea to beat him up for something like that. - Gins calmed her down.
- Hrr, okay.
- Don't take offence Rumi. It's really good to see you after all this time, by the way. - I smiled at her.
- Petty, it's good to see you too...I'd be glad if you didn't have obscenities flying out of your mouth. - She added, raising her leg threateningly.
- Tengu, the police are yet to get a warrant for your arrest, so right now none of us can arrest you, that doesn't mean we heroes approve of lynching. - Gins continued to nag me, to the nods of Ryukyu and Snape. - But anyway, you helped save fifty thousand lives today, and for that I thank you. - He made a bow in acknowledgement.
- It wasn't hard for me, the main thing was that no one got hurt. - I answered and immediately tensed up, sensing a strong danger. - Stop recovering already! - I shouted, shifting my gaze to the ground, seeing that the remains of the mutant, fused back together and gradually grew into a huge pile of flesh.
- He's going to explode! - Ryukyu shouted, noticing that it was beginning to swell.
- Duty calls! - I ran at full speed towards the reanimated mountain of flesh.
The monster was getting bigger and bigger, but it didn't explode. Instead, it burst into a flock of flying mutant bombers, only smaller in size, but with that many monsters, the whole street would explode, along with the tower's support.
- Not on my watch! - I landed on the ground and swung my fist towards the monsters, powering my fist with more than half of my reserve. - Heavenly Fang! - I gave a name to this attack as well, in general, I decided to associate all my attacks with the sky, it's blue after all, and I love the colour blue...here. From my hand flew out the most powerful, at the moment, plasma beam, penetrated some of the monsters, making them detonate in the air, creating a chain reaction of explosions, fortunately, did not hurt anyone. My beam, on the other hand, managed to not only blow up the monsters, but also made a hole in a nearby cloud.
- What the fuck did I just say?' I smacked myself on the forehead, to the shocked looks on the faces of the people around me, who a second ago were ready to say goodbye to their lives.
