CHAPTER START---

"Mmm," with a relaxed and comfortable moan, Ryukyu rolls over in bed as she stirs awake.

Feeling well-rested and completely refreshed, as if she just spent a week at a spa. But the moment she opens her eyes, her mind is flooded with confusion.

Training kicking in as she's ready to fight anyone in the room.

Sitting up in the bed and looking around, she sees she's in a hospital bed, to her right is a wall of cabinets with a variety of different tools.

But this wasn't Central Hospital. One look to her left, at the view of Saitama Tokyo made that very clear.

"Where am---" she stops talking, feeling her throat dry. Looking around she sees a bottle of water on the bedside table.

Before doing anything else she throws off the covers to see her state. Wearing only a hospital gown.

'No cuffs or restraints, this has to be a friendly place. The police and other Pros must have found us before the villains could finish.'

Deciding she's mostly safe the woman drinks some of the water. Feeling much more relaxed afterward.

"That's enough sleeping Ryukyu," she mutters to herself as she sits at the edge of the bed, feet hanging just an inch above the floor.

"Cold," she mutters as her bare feet touch the tile floor. Dealing with the discomfort she walks over and turns on the lights, no longer solely depending on the moonlight and bedside lamp for light.

She has to block her eyes as the blue and white of the room assault her vision.

"Well, atleast now I know where I am..." she realizes immediately. The logo on some of the cabinets made it rather obvious.

Her shoulder slumps down as she takes her time to walk over to the mirror. Using the full-length mirror to look at herself properly. Not seeing any scars or bruises on her face.

"I must have been out for a few days," she looks at the clock, seeing it's only midnight. "Nejire must be so worried...some mentor I am, making my Sidekicks worry about me. You need to do better Ryukyu."

Looking lower, down to her feet, she also sees perfectly clear and unblemished skin.

She freezes for a moment, then hastily takes off the hospital gown, standing naked in front of the mirror.

Her entire body was flawless, in every sense.

All the scars and proofs of her career as a Pro Hero were gone, leaving her appearing as a woman who has never known such violent work.

After staring in amazement she finally spots the change of clothes laid out for her beside the bed, and a pair of fuzzy slippers that she wishes she saw earlier.

"Does he seriously need to make everything match?" she mutters curiously while moving to get dressed.

After getting dressed, in a set of grey sweatpants with the simple blue fluffy slippers and a grey sweater. The pants and sweater each sporting Horizon's blue logo. One on the thigh and the other on the back.

Running a hand through her hair to lazily set her bangs across the right side of her face she looks at both doors connected to this room. One on the opposite end of the room away from the glass wall.

And another beside the glass wall toward the outer wall of the building.

"Nejire is probably in the waiting room," Ryukyu says as she grabs her bottle of water and walks to the door closest to the bed, beside the glass wall.

And the moment she opens it, 'oh...not a waiting room.'

She enters Horizon's office, closing the door behind her as she looks around in genuine wonder.

'His office is bigger than mine, atleast twice as big,' she thinks while walking around.

She sees all the books on the shelves, most of which are Quirk Catalogues. Containing every publicly recorded Quirk and its uses.

'So old fashioned, all of this stuff is already online,' her gaze drifts over to a medical degree on the wall.

'So is 'Horizon' his actual name...it has to be if they put it on his degree, right?'

As she's curiously looking around the office, however, her eyes finally land on the most interesting thing, something she's almost smacking herself in the face for missing.

So distracted by the fact that he even has an office, to see him slumped forward on his desk completely asleep.

Ryukyu froze, for the first time Horizon actually seemed...human.

Or atleast somewhat human.

Even with his visor on and in full costume, his sword and hoverboard nowhere in sight. It was so surreal seeing him do something that everyone does, sleep.

But somehow he still managed to inspire awe. By the strange blue energy vapor wafting off of his body as he peacefully sleeps.

Just small wisps from his arms and hands, enough to give her an unsettling feeling.

But her curiosity was even stronger, and before she knew it, the woman was taking careful, silent steps forward.

Until she stood in front of his desk, with the two seats opposite him to either side of her.

And in the next moment she reaches out, to swat some of the energy away.

"ARGH!" Horizon's hand instinctively shoots up and grabs her neck, slowly choking the life out of her as she desperately claws at his fingers.

His grip was like a vice, and it took all her willpower not to instinctively transform. To break his hold, and the moment he finally looks up.

Those inhuman blue eyes on his visor seemed to bore a hole into her very being. They shone brightly as he looked at her, then the next moment became dull as the vapor on his body disappeared and he released her.

"Gaahhh!" she greedily sucks in air, leaning on the desk to support herself as Horizon sits back in his chair.

"Oh don't be so dramatic," Horizon's somewhat mechanical voice sounds more disgusted than anything else. "What were you even doing?"

Finally catching her breath Ryukyu stares at him with concern, "who reacts like that to someone being close to them, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, I'm perfect," he says. "Can you just sit down already?"

Ryukyu frowns, still massaging her neck which was sporting a fresh new handprint, but she sits opposite him.

"Good," Horizon sees her picking up her water bottle off the floor, "now, what were you doing?"

"You were, leaking?"

"Excuse me?"

"Blue mist from your arm, I was just making sure you're ok. Maybe coolant, do robots have that?"

Horizon pauses for a moment, realizing how serious she was being, "I'm not a robot."

"Sorry sorry sorry! I meant cyborg! I didn't mean to offend you I promise!"

Horizon just gives an annoyed groan, "not a cyborg either, but thanks for the info."

He truly had no idea his body was doing that while he slept. Yet another thing to divide his focus.

"Oh, but Nejire said you told her that---"

"This is my face, because it never comes off, Lifestyle Support Item," Horizon says. "But really I'm just a bag of meat, like everyone else."

"Right, well, sorry," she gives an awkward smile.

"It's fine, now since you're here, anything you want to know?" he asks while logging into his computer and checking up on some cases.

"What happened?" Ryukyu asks.

"What do you remember?"

"Everything up until I was in one of the trucks, then there was a cold pain in my back, then everything goes black."

"That makes sense, your vehicle was the first to get hit. Then they killed most of the security and hit Hawks with a grenade before leaving, from the looks of it Endeavor and Burnin got there fast enough that they couldn't finish you two. But nobody else lived."

"Hawks?" Ryukyu voice almost cracked with how worried she was, or maybe how disappointed in herself she was.

"In Central Hospital, still in surgery, will be for a few more hours."

"Wait, he isn't here?"

"Why would he be here?"

"For you to operate on him."

"Hawks isn't my problem, he can deal with his own healthcare," Horizon looks at her, then turn back to his computer.

"Is the bad blood between you two truly that serious?"

He stops typing, then speaks in a dangerously calm tone, "yes, now is there anything else you want to know?"

"How long has it been?"

"Well, the attack was only a few hours ago, your surgery was done two hours ago."

"What?! You fixed me that quickly?"

He glances back to her, then returns to his work, "what part of 'Miracle' did you not understand?"

"And my scars."

"I assumed you didn't want to keep them, you look better like this anyway," he shrugs.

She raises a brow at that, "doctors aren't supposed to comment on their patients like that."

"Then go find another miracle doctor."

She opens her mouth to respond, but decides to just take the compliment. "Thank you for healing me."

"Happy to help, now can you tell me how you feel?"

"Like I spent two weeks on vacation and got a massage."

"Tired?"

"Not at all, I feel fully refreshed."

'That's new,' Horizon thinks. Usually, for such invasive operations, his patients need atleast a day of rest before they can function normally. 'Refined energy has its uses...'

"Is that another room for your patients?" Ryukyu gestures to the other door, opposite where she entered from.

"That's my bedroom. Office in the middle, bedroom to my left, patient room and medical equipment to my right."

"Hmm, maybe my agency should get a live-in doctor..."

After a few more minutes of talking Horizon's computer and phone start beeping. The familiar sound of the Hero Network alert immediately has Ryukyu on alert.

"What's going on?"

"I put out some bait on the black market to find where that super concentrated Trigger supplier is, just got a hit."

"The sample I sent you not even a day ago, seriously? How'd you even get a black market contact, that's near impossible for heroes."

"Miracles are my specialty, it shouldn't take us long to get there."

She looks a bit confused by that, "us?"

"Yes, us. Because after I spent 80 hours doing Hero Work and was finally about to get some sleep, I had to rush over here to work on you. And now the public also thinks you can't do your job that well so you need the reputation boost of teaming up with me."

"Good point, but...how are you even awake?"

Horizon shrugs, "you expect me to sleep when I can be helping people? I can't become who I'm aiming to be like that."

She's both surprised and inspired by that answer, but also can't help but worry for his own health. "And who are you aiming to be?"

"Well, at first it was the next Symbol of Peace...but I think being a Guardian Deity has a better ring to it."

Ryukyu thinks it over for a second, then nods in agreement, then gives him a soft smile "honestly. If anyone else said it that'd be arrogance, but on you, it just makes sense."

"Awe look who's being inappropriate now, flirting with your doctor," he teases.

She folds her arms and glares at him, "I was not, besides you're 10 years younger than me."

"I won't make it weird if you don't..."

Her glare softens, genuinely confused as to if he was serious or not.

"Anyway, let's get going, it's a private hangar at the edge of Tokyo, his plane leaves soon," Horizon warps from his seat to standing beside her, startling the woman.

"I thought you needed to always swap with something?"

"It's complicated," he turns to looks down at her, enjoying the way she was sitting down and staring up at him. "Now as much as I like the way I look on you, let's make use of the things Nejire brought for you..."

'SHAMBLES!'

Her Horizon-themed clothes immediately swap for her spare Hero Costume that Nejire brought her, perfectly equipped.

Ryukyu freezes, then her face quickly begins transitioning to bright red, she grabs her chest and squeezes her legs shut tight.

"Don't do that!"

CHAPTER START---

"Is this why you brought me along?" Ryukyu asks, currently in her dragon form soaring through the cold night sky.

Above Tokyo prefecture, they were currently heading toward the countryside, where a few private runways and hangars were located.

But as the woman was flying, she had Horizon sitting on her back. Sword and Hoverboard at his side as he uses the hologram projected by the watch Mei gave him, finding more information on their target.

"What are you talking about?" Horizon asks, his voice only reaching her through their advanced communication devices, otherwise, the wind would overpower them.

"Do you know how many people ask me to give them a ride each week?"

"Don't see how that's my problem, or why they'd care."

"Everyone wants to ride a dragon," Ryukyu was clearly annoyed just thinking about it.

"My Hoverboard is faster than you for the record, I'm just doing this so I can focus on getting more research. Also, you aren't a dragon."

"Excuse me, I'm literally a dragon right now!"

"Nope, can't breathe fire. Not a dragon, just a lizard with wings..."

"I am a dragon, you're being ridiculous."

"When you can breathe fire, then you can call yourself a dragon."

"Mmm," Ryukyu grumbles. "I'm not taking criticism on how accurate the name of my Quirk is, from a guy that names his 'Hand of God', atleast mine isn't offensive."

"Rather arrogant to assume it refers to your god, don't you think?"

"Rather arrogant to call yourself a god, don't you think?"

"Yeah but unlike you, mine is accurate, plus I'm only 16. I've barely begun tapping into what my Quirk can do, but you're 26 and can't even breathe fire...dragon, sure."

"Ugh, that's not how dragons work! I literally look and fight like a dragon!"

"Just a gecko with wings Kyukyu."

"How are you so annoying?!"

"Practice..."

"Ugh!" Ryukyu groans. "Did you atleast find anything on there?"

"Yeah, got an ID for our actual target, the distributor was coming in for a meeting with the head of an underground chemicals lab."

"Drug lab?"

"Nope, think C4 + Nerve Agents..."

"What? How has this guy gone unnoticed until now?"

"Because he pays the right people and has discrete, professional clients," including Arsenal for the past decade. "But we're on him now, he's done."

"If he's so insulated then how'd you find him?"

"Because I know people who know people too," Horizon says.

He'd made a few calls around the underworld and unsurprisingly, a lot of people weren't a fan of this newly weaponized version of Trigger being used on their men without their permission.

He simply chose the wrong test subjects. Pissed off the wrong people, and they offered him up to Horizon.

"Well then, let's hope your connections are as reliable as you are."

"I got a name for his jet," Horizon says as they see the runway in the distance. "It's...the one that just took off..."

"Seriously, damn it," Ryukyu looks into the distance to see it already in the air about to pass over a bridge connecting where the runway is, to a small island off the shore of Tokyo.

"Chase it."

"I can't fly that fast, and neither can your board."

"Yeah but he isn't up to full speed yet, and is still in my range."

"Yeah just warp him out of the plane," Ryukyu says as she begins flying after the plane, intent to keep Horizon in whatever range he had.

"Where's the fun in that?" Horizon chuckles as he reaches out, as if gripping the air with his hand. "Hand of GOD, remember?"

TAKT!

And the closer they got, the wider Ryukyu's eyes opened.

Seeing videos and pictures of Horizon ripping buildings or objects out of the ground was one thing, but witnessing firsthand him bringing a jet from mid-flight to being frozen in the air, from almost 10 miles away at that.

It was awe-inspiring, beautiful, wonderous, beyond humbling, and truly terrifying.

As if God reached down and held the jet with his own hand, power beyond comprehension, especially considering all the things she's heard and seen Horizon do.

When they got closer he tilts the jet so the nose was pointing directly down at the ocean, as he brings it close to the bridge for he and Ryukyu to land.

"You ok back there?"

"I'm just perfect," Horizon growls our, trying to sound strong but the searing pain in his skull was too much. He was currently leaning forward pressing down on Ryukyu with both hands as he focused on the jet.

Stopping fast-moving objects was always difficult, the heavier they were the more difficult. And keeping them in one piece, well that was usually a whole new problem.

But with the difficulty of his new additions, also came benefits.

Not 'stronger' in the usual sense. The upper limits of his power are completely unchanged. The road to get there has only been made shorter.

While he would have entered his prime at above thirty years old, now he can reach it that much sooner, in only a few years. The slowly growing battery that is Horizon has now become an exponentially expanding nuclear reactor, brimming with power much sooner than even he expected.

But that still didn't help the growing pains.

"You don't sound alright," Ryukyu says.

"Just land on the bridge, let's talk to the target."

'I guess he's not as perfect as I thought, but as he said, he's still only 16...so for now, even god bleeds. Also, 'target', how come he isn't saying 'Villain'. How strange for a Hero.'

Landing on the bridge Ryukyu stays in her large dragon form while Horizon hops off.

Thankfully the bridge was deserted this late at night, and Horizon just raised his hand and casually rotated the jet so the pilots were now facing the bridge.

Both men were holding onto their seatbelts for dear life, completely horrified at the situation they were in.

Naturally, they weren't overjoyed to be floating above the ocean like this, staring down into the dark water two hundred feet below the bridge.

But Horizon wasn't interested in them, not in the least.

Giving them a casual wave he makes a spinning gesture with his hand as the plane begins to rotate so they couldn't see the bridge.

After all eyes from the place were averted, he takes out on of his cards and throws it onto the sidewalk of the bridge.

SHAMBLES!

"I surrender!" was the first thing the short and thin man screamed, hands raised high as he looks at Ryukyu. Then his eyes fall to Horizon and he looks about ready to cry. Clearly more afraid of the god than the dragon.

Something that doesn't go unnoticed by her, as it is quite rare for her not to be the main point of fear during interrogations. The only time that wasn't the case is when she worked with Endeavor.

"Who were you making the super concentrated Trigger for?"

"..." The man wisely keeps his mouth shut.

"Fine, the hard way is it," Horizon reaches out to grab the man only for Ryukyu to speak up.

"Stop! Further interrogations should be left to the police. They'll be here in a few minutes."

"Oh please, you don't survive the underworld as long as him without being able to take some lukewarm police questioning," Horizon immediately reaches out and grabs the man by the shirt. "Tell me about the trigger, or I'll drop you."

"Drop me?" The man asks.

Horizon immediately lifts him up with one hand and holds him out above the ocean.

"Horizon!" Ryukyu calls out, about to intervene. "That's enough!"

"Just stay back and watch!" Horizon's tone actually makes her quiet down immediately. "This is how you get results."

"No, you can't do this!" The man screams while nearly trying to wrap his entire body around Horizon's outstretched arm. "You're a Hero, you aren't allowed to do this!"

"Idiot, you're a villain. Nobody really cares about you, plus. I'm not just a Hero, I'm Horizon. That means I, can do whatever I want, now, talk."

"I'll lose my business if I talk!" The man screams out, still holding on for dear life.

"Hmm, true. And I see that you're a man of your word. I can respect that, but so am I."

"WhAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" the man's confusion becomes terror as Horizon drops him over the side.

Ryukyu raises her wings, ready to fly down and save him, only for Horizon to turn around before she can do anything.

"You stay put!" he commands, pointing directly at her. And she wisely obeys.

"He's scared enough you can warp him back up now!" Ryukyu insists.

"Don't be silly," Horizon says, then a moment later he warps the initial card back into his hand. Then throws is onto the sidewalk. "Shambles."

The broken villain warps onto the floor. Both legs were broken and one arm was twisted, covered in freezing cold seawater, some of which he was coughing up.

Reaching down, to the villain and Ryukyu's horror. Horizon grabs him by a broken leg and holds him over the railing.

"Another dip?"

"I'll talk! I'll talk!" the man immediately cracks. "It was some kind of contest."

"Contest?"

"Lots of labs around the world were supposedly in on it! Strongest Trigger formula gets the money, but I lost!"

"What else do you know about it?"

"A lab from Europe may have won but it was all anonymous! I swear that's all I know! Please believe me!"

"I believe you," Horizon tosses the man onto the sidewalk.

And with this little experience, it all clicked in Ryukyu's mind.

She knew this was what the media would never see, what she'd never tell them for fear of angering Horizon or his followers.

But this was the truth.

'Guardian Deity', it sounds so majestic and benevolent.

It was the façade he plays for the cameras.

But now she knows better, Horizon isn't that kind of god.

He's all old testament.

Fire, blood, rage.

Results by any means necessary.

And when a man has potentially enough power to fight the world...it's very hard to sleep at night knowing he's out there... knowing that should he ever switch sides, you'd be on the short list of people sent to bring him down.

Sent to die against him...
