CHAPTER START---
"How is this so much better than my hot tub..." Law mutters as he relaxes in the Hot Spring.
At the edge of the water with his back to the war stone wall, both muscled and tattooed arms were resting up at the edge of the pool.
His body was entirely exposed, with his body glove and visor nearby. His phone was playing soft music nearby, with a Room open for 25 meters in every direction, enough so he doesn't feel the strain while making sure nobody sneaks up to take a peek at him.
After a few more minutes Law checks his phone, seeing it's been almost a half hour since he got into the Hot Springs.
"This was a lot more fun with Pix---" Law stops scrolling as he notices something strange. His phone had no service.
"Huh, I thought it was impossible for Nezu's tech to lose signals..." Law says as he checks the setting.
ZZZZT!
Suddenly a bright and sparkling Lazer beam cuts through the Hot Spring, barely missing the main resort building.
"So much for relaxing," Law mutters as he warps out of the water.
Then swaps all the water on his body for his body glove and visor, and suddenly appears in full Hero Costume as he expands his room to 1000 meters wide.
SCAN!
He feels everyone still completing the Test Of Courage, but two people were elsewhere.
Ragdoll and Aoyama were far off course and separated from everyone else, in a dire situation.
"Shambles," Horizon suddenly appears beside Aoyama, staring down a green-skinned lanky Nomu, and a young boy in a black middle school uniform, wearing a gas mask and carrying two gas canisters on his back.
In his hand is an old-fashioned revolver, at ease pointing toward the floor, and a thick pink fog swirls around him, only a few inches from his body.
Behind Aoyama is Ragdoll, down on the floor and bleeding from her head, while Aoyama was stuck in a standoff with the villain and Nomu.
But everyone froze when Horizon arrived on the scene.
Unlike his previous encounters, this Nomu seemed completely unresponsive to anything around it.
'So I'm guessing this loser can't give it commands, so it's in standby mode...plus his Quirk is some toxic gas, not lethal since he has a gun. And he isn't immune to it because he has a gas mask...but I am. I guess he's just weak.'
"What's going on here?" Horizon asks, noticing the villain frozen in fear.
"I got lost and she came looking for me, but this villain attacked us!" Aoyama yells, voice cracking with almost every word.
"Twinkler, tell the others the League of Villains is here," Horizon says, seeing the villain's gun trembling, unable to even raise it toward him. "I'll deal with this..."
Both Aoyama and Ragdoll immediately disappear, swapped with rocks from the dining area.
SHAMBLES! SHAMBLES! SHAMBLES! SHAMBLES! SHAMBLES!------
Horizon swaps everyone but himself back into the dining area, leaving him and the villains staring each other down.
"So, how'd you find us?" Horizon asks.
The boy doesn't respond, only raising his pistol and opening fire.
One round is fired, yet it stops a foot in front of Horizon, held in the air by nothing.
A precise and wasteful use of Takt, but it always got the message across.
Horizon carefully and gently plucks the bullet from the air, holding it between his fingers as he walks up to the villain.
BANG!
Another bullet stops just inches ahead of him, echoing through the forest and helping Aoyama get his warning across.
And again Horizon plucks it out of the air.
By the time he gets to the villain, the boy is shaking, absolutely stuck with fear, revolver dropped to the dirt, staring up at Horizon as he towers over the villain. Over a foot taller than him and much larger.
"You have a name?" Horizon asks, his voice surprisingly calm all things considered.
"M...Mustard..." the villain stutters out.
"Mustard...gas, catchy," Horizon raises his hand with all the bullets and holds it out. "These are yours."
Mustard raises a shaky hand and collects the bullets. He doesn't dare take his eyes off Horizon.
Horizon, however, takes his eyes off the villain, looking across at the tall and lanky Nomu, "well, clearly you don't have the authority to command this thing...so let's make this quick."
"Argh!" Mustard chokes as Horizon grabs his neck, immediately and painfully strangling him, easily lifting him off the floor so they were at eye level with each other.
"Do you know anything about how this attack was planned?" Horizon asks.
He only gets the sound of choking from Mustard.
"Right," he reaches up and rips off the gas mask, loosening up his grip so the boy could speak. "I'll try that again, what information do you have? How many villains are here?"
"Just six of us, and some Nomu," Mustard barely gets out, feeling the grip beginning to tighten again.
"How did you find us?"
"I swear I don't know anything about that, please, I only joined the league to---" Horizon immediately begins strangling him again, not interested in any silly motivations.
"Counter Shock," Mustard's convulsing body is burnt by the strong current that completely knocks him out for at least a day. "Shambles," he swaps Mustard for Eraser.
"Horizon?"
"Six villains plus some Nomu, keep everyone at the main resort and I'll try to pick them off."
"Got it," Eraser says, and is swapped with a lone rock, sending him back to the others.
As Eraser disappears Horizon scans everything within his Room again, but doesn't detect anything aside from Mustard and the Nomu in front of him.
Because the others simply haven't received the signal to arrive just yet.
So he keeps his attention on his Room while turning to the Nomu standing beside him.
'Why would Shigaraki give a Nomu to someone, without allowing them to command it? Or without giving it a preset command, doesn't really make sense...'
He reaches forward and touches it, and it doesn't even react.
'Hmm, what is that? An antenna Quirk? Radio? Signal? I guess this is what's causing the signal drop in the area, and a Telepathy Link Quirk, weird combo...but useful.'
Horizon takes a step back and reaches for his sword, and the moment his hand touches the hilt.
"A-arsenal," the Nomu says in a broken raspy voice, and Horizon freezes, just for a moment.
INCISION!
He slashes it in two, pretending as if that word meant nothing to him.
Looking at the bisected corpse on the floor Horizon just sighs and focuses on everything around him, not sensing any newcomers.
And the moment he puts his sword away.
"Arsenal's son?" A voice echoes out from the Nomu, deep and haunting, but not the voice of the monster itself, this time using it as a puppet.
'No, that's impossible. I'm insulated. Nezu made sure nobody could know. Nobody can know! This is a bluff, a hard bluff. This can't be happening.'
"It seems we have much to discuss, doctor," the voice says again, and a small purple Warp gate begins forming a few feet away. "I find myself in need of a miracle. And as far as I know, only you specialize in such a procedure."
Horizon leaps backward and readies his blade, prepared to slash the Warp Gate the moment Shigaraki showed his crusty face.
But he never did.
Instead, the Warp Gate expanded to 8ft wide, and out stepped a tall man in a simple black suit with a white undershirt.
Standing at 225cm -7ft5-, even taller than All Might. And seemingly having an almost identical build, simply better hidden beneath the formal suit.
Horizon felt his blood crawl as the eerie presence made itself known. Nothing that he was paralyzed by, but the sense of danger he felt was new.
Real.
'This guy is making me nervous? What? Me? Why?' he questions, not understanding what was going on.
And looking into the black industrial mask with tubes connecting it together, he only got more confused.
But the moment the full body got revealed.
All For One, the incarnation of Evil. The would-be Demon Lord of Japan.
Horizon relaxed slightly, still on guard but now more confident against his foe.
'Oh... it's just him,' Horizon thinks, having been aware of this person for years.
"Finally a hero with a sense of class," All For One says jokingly, adjusting his tie to make his point clear.
Side by side they looked very similar, in three-piece suits, full face masks, tall and muscular.
Two sides of the same coin.
No, two sides of the same coin...
"I had no idea Arsenal had a child, how extraordinary," All For One says, standing only ten meters away with his hands at his side.
"..." Horizon doesn't answer at first,he shrinks his room down to only 50m wide, giving all of his focus to the newcomer, then simply raises his blade to point at All For One, "are you leading the League of Villains?"
"Oh, is that the game you'd like to play?" All For One asks, playfully, amused by Horizon attempting to avoid the question. "Alright, I'll play along, hero..."
