Bab 38: Villains 1/2
__________POV Naration__________
Tartaros was located on an island, surrounded by giant walls. The only access to the prison is a long bridge connected to a city.
It was a normal day at Tartaros, another dangerous convict was brought in by a hero, his quirk had something to do with redirecting waves? Oh well. He was just another villain to the trained guards.
For now, he was locked up in a cell with a high amount of defences. Sensors are put on all of the inmates here alerting the guards when someone activates their quirks, the prisoners are monitored in a room with several screens displaying the inside of cells.
Everything was running fine, but the second the guards left the new prisoner in the cell. All of the cameras went down. The person in the monitor room tried raising the alert, but something was jamming all contacts inside the building.
Then pandemonium started, when noticing the problems in electricity and the confusion if the guards the less highly restrained prisoners quickly took that chance to escape their confinement. Killing all of the guards in their vicinity.
Then they proceeded to free more and more prisoners, to the point where most incarcerated individuals were already out of their cells. The guards were quickly overrun as the emergency defensive system was malfunctioning.
One guard near the entrance managed to run away far enough to escape the effect of the presumed jammer quirk. Doing so he called the police force.
After they were informed they contacted all nearby heroes. Quickly forming a blockade on the bridge.
And so, more and more heroes gathered, along with them came the press. Which gave more coverage to the situation. Something that prompted even more heroes to start making their way there.
__________POV MC__________
It was foolish of me to think that I would get some free time. From what I could see the situation at Tartarus is extremely dire. The villains are now stuck at the gates basically. Almost about to force their way back into our society.
I could see Heroes blocking the bridge, probably hoping that someone like All Might would show up, but since he's always on a timer such a big fight might be disadvantageous for him.
Suddenly I could see a pillar of flame. Yep, its Endeavor, at least there's someone to suppress the villains for a while. There is also Hawks, he seems to not be in hero gear, mostly using his quirk to evacuate all the civilians in the immediate vicinity of the bridge.
I still don't know how the breakout started, it might be because there has been a surplus of convicted felons in the last few years, someone with a special quirk might've slipped by unnoticed.
I don't have much time to ponder on the situation. I think I can make it there in a few minutes at my fastest speed. I quickly got changed and headed there. I don't have time to bother calling my dispatcher.
The guy already knows me anyway, he can guess where I am headed.
Thinking on it, this might actually be my chance to get to know the Nr. 2 Hero, who will also be the future Nr. 2 Hero, since I am 100% going to become Nr. 1 before him.
I can only think this encounter will be great, maybe even refreshing. Wasn't he one of the greyest characters in MHA? He had a redemption ark and all.
Oh well, I think he won't mind the help. There are somewhere around 500 villains attempting to escape imprisonment. I think All Might is also heading in that direction.
Even with his timer he still wouldn't let something like this happen without even attempting to interfere.
At the end of the day, Tartaros housed the most dangerous villains. Right now the heroes were still holding, their small strategical advantage is what kept them alive for so long, but the difference in numbers was starting to show.
By the time I got there, the situation wasn't looking too good. A lot of the heroes were injured, and Endeavor was the worst. He probably burned quite a lot of villains to a crisp, but now he was barely standing up, both injuries and fatigue catching up to him.
Hawks was shot down from the sky, a few dozen heroes managed to hold off 500 bloodthirsty villains for about 5 minutes. It was a feat to be remembered.
Now, I flew above the bridge, the villains were advancing, pushing the blockade further and further towards the city.
Raising my palms, I started raining down light rays in the villain-filled bridge, all notion of holding back was lost I saw the state of the heroes.
Every ray of light that hit the ground exploded, making the bridge tremble slightly. I landed in front of the barricade. Cape facing the cameras.
A tired Endeavor came near me.
"Finally some Backup." He said in a gruff tone.
"You should take a break, you've done enough already." Even with all of his family life, just his feat today made it enough for me to respect him.
"I can still go... Do you think you can take them on by yourself?" He sneered a bit.
"I'll just keep them occupied while you guys rest." These weren't thugs, these were all dangerous villains, a lot were stronger than Overhaul. I wasn't in any danger, but I wasn't going to let all any of them escape this place.
Endeavor just nodded reluctantly, he took a lot of damage, even if he wanted to help he was quite done at this point. Like all the heroes present, he needed rest.
Then we both heard a loud crash, the bridge shaking again.
"HAVE NO FEAR, I AM HERE!" It was obviously All Might.
Things were heating up. When Endeavor saw All Might he seemed to magically recover. All of his fatigue replaced by determination.
"It seems we have even more backup..." I said lazily while Endeavor nodded solemnly.

That's it for today.
After this small arc, the UA stuff will start. Hope you enjoyed it!
