Bab 150: 150: Unforeseen Danger (1)
Chapter 150: Unforeseen Danger (1)

"Huff… annoying."
Hisashi cursed out loud, flying in the sky at a speed that was faster than jets.
He was back in his humanoid form, and he was bleeding from almost everywhere in his body.
There is a reason why he never acts as he pleases, even with powers such as his. He's been laying low in America since the appearance of Star and Stripes, the number one hero of America. Though it might be more accurate to say he's been in hiding since his fight with Star a few years ago.
Star and Stripes had a quirk that didn't care about science. As their battle had escalated, both of them damaged each other a lot, but the woman could simply heal herself with a single voice command. It's no mystery that Hisashi lost, and it cost him a deep wound in his Dragon Form.
That was why he was hesitating to transform against All Might's successor, but when All Might himself appeared too… He had no other choice.
Luckily, the wound Hisashi received this time wasn't that deep and it could be healed in a span of weeks because of his Draconic Regeneration. Furthermore, he managed to wound All Might pretty well, so much so that from the looks of it, All Might was a goner as a hero.
Meaning, the next time Hisashi acts again, only All Might's successor will be there to stop him, but that kid wouldn't be that big of a problem as long as Hisashi manages to heal himself.
'But I don't care about any of this… I only regret killing that Neji brat so quickly, so painlessly.' Hisashi couldn't help but grit his teeth. 'I thought he'd survive the beam like last time, just with deeper injuries this time because the beam's much greater intensity… but to think even his ashes will melt out of existence…'
Hisashi grumbled, growling softly as he flew through a cloud.
"That Nejire girl is probably dead too… though I almost thought I saw her vanish just before the beam devoured the boy." Hisashi said to himself, thinking. "But it doesn't matter, it certainly is a pity he died so quickly… but his family, friends, and relatives are still in Japan."
Hisashi's fiery eyes were cold as he simply gazed into the future he wished to see.
"That lizard girl must have tracked all the students, but she surely can't defeat any of them in her current state."
The lizard girl, Setsuna Tokage, turned her body into pieces and followed each student. She will soon contact Hisashi, as he ordered, and after that Hisashi would hunt each of Neji's friends down.
UA was utterly destroyed and many many more died, with even their ashes melted out of existence. Students, teachers, heroes that were roaming outside UA. Every party had dozens of casualties.
Some students tried to use their pitiful quirks but died nonetheless. Beside Mirio, there was another one who indeed put up a fight… and that quirk was special too. Unfortunately, or maybe, fortunately, he was dead too.
So, the Class 1-A students who escaped had nowhere to return except for their homes. Hisashi needed someone to bring them from their homes. He would have liked to do it himself, but he wanted to heal as soon as possible instead. He also didn't trust Kurogiri for this, so… he will use his own people—
Dragon People.

Ryukyu was in her office, waiting for any emergency call like usual but weirdly, no call came to her today.
"Eh, looks like my sidekicks are doing a good job."
Her sidekicks were out patrolling by themselves today. Because she decided to rest in her office and read a magazine about men and women. Tomorrow was Sunday, meaning the second meeting between her and Neji and Ryukyu wished to look dazzling tomorrow, so she was reading what men of Neji's age, or in other words, the kid liked these days.
"Haah~ what am I even doing?"
Ryukyu giggled, shaking her head and sighing.
Neji was already taken, yet she was thinking so hard to look good in front of him.
"...No, it doesn't matter. Not like I am doing this to attract him or anything~ I am just keeping a good appearance as a Hero."
'Yup, that's right.'
Ryukyu nodded to herself, smiling as she lay on her stomach on the couch and flipped through pages.
She was pretty happy these days because of her new haircut. People kept giving her compliments and even the media was all about her. She wasn't exactly an attention seeker like some heroes, but she didn't hate it either.
Just then, as she was about to flip another page a loud screech- no, a loud roar sounded out from far in the sky, making way into Ryukyu's ears and grasping on her mind.
Ryukyu's eyes widened as her golden pupils twisted. She tried to resist the thing happening with her, tried to fight it, but it only pained her more as she grabbed her head and cried.
"Aaaaaa!"
Her cry changed, slowly turning into a roar and not so long after, her golden pupils turned red.
Ryukyu's cry stopped as she stood up. Wings popped up from her back and she kicked out of the window, flying towards the roar far far from the sky.

The ruler of the entirety of southern Asia, Nawab was in her royal room, sitting on her bed with her bright purple eyes looking outside the window.
She sat elegantly on the edge of the bed, her long purple hair softly flowing by her back, falling on the bed and creating the illusion of a purple sea of thunder.
She had a smile on her soft pink lips, smiling as if she was reminiscing on a past event that happened ages ago. Her skin was slightly red in colour, but it looked as if a tan of red was painted above the usual humane skin, and coupled with that red skin she had purple horns on her head too, looking like a demon.
Then a soft knock fell on the door, so soft that most would mistake it for the light, gentle breeze of the wind..
Nawab didn't, however. As if she was expecting this knock, her lips slowly parted and she spoke in an Irish accent, "You may come in, Ujir."
The door opened behind her, as she was sitting with her back facing the door. However, she could still see the tall toned female wearing purple light armour, looking very sturdy, walking inside and bowing.
"I am back from my mission, sire."
"That you are," Nawab said softly, still facing the window. "How was the progress with Atlantis?"
At her question, the individual ranked as 'Ujir', who lacked a proper name, stayed silent for a while before speaking. "Almost the entirety of their so-called 'Royal Family' is dead. The prince managed to escape with his guards, but our people are in search of them so I am confident we will find them soon."
"I see." Nawab stood up from her bed and started to walk toward her. When she reached Ujir, she reached out her hand to raise Ujir straight. "That's disappointing. You've been on this for around a year now, yet you couldn't eradicate them entirely?"
Ujir simply stayed still, her expression calm.
The 'Atlantians', or the Fish People, are just a bunch of quirk users whose quirks give them fish-like characteristics. They used the name 'Atlantians' from a comic originating from the pre-quirk era. Because of certain reasons, Nawab wanted them eradicated, but she couldn't be bothered to move by herself so she sent Ujir, her right hand.
"Haah," Nawab smiled, sighing. "It's fine, I am not interested in them anymore. I have a much greater interest to fulfil."
Ujir turned her eyes to her majesty. "If I may ask, is it because of the things happening in Japan? I just heard Japan was disconnected from the world just a few hours ago."
Nawab, Ujir knew, could surely see what was happening even in Japan right as they spoke. Using one of her 'Bees', most likely.
"Yes, indeed." Nawab released Ujir's chin, walking over to a table and taking a seat. She gestured to the other girl to do so too, which she did without any question. "Our only successful test subject, Izuku Midoriya, died recently."
"I didn't know that," Ujir said. She wasn't here for a year, she didn't know everything. "Did we learn the cause?"
"Yes, it was the same cause that separated my mind from one of my old Bees."
At Nawab's words, Ujir's calm demeanour finally changed. Her eyes widened and shook. Before she could say anything though, Nawab spoke again.
"Shockingly enough, the Bee isn't dead. Back when I lost the connection, a few weeks ago, she seemed to have escaped this dimension entirely, causing our connection to get broken. Not long after she returned, I could feel her presence again, but her mind wasn't connected with mine anymore, I couldn't see what she was seeing anymore. Meaning, she was independent now." Nawab said, giggling as if all this was amusing. "I sent a new one in there, from which I learned that Izuku child seems to have experienced a similar thing. He was taken outside this dimension and killed out there."
"I don't believe that boy is what we should worry about," Ujir said, trying her best to maintain her calm. "One of the 'bees' managed to become independent, that's very concerning."
"Hm~" Nawab hummed, tilting her head. "Are you jealous that one of the Bees got independence? Do you envy her, as a Bee yourself?"
"Of course not." Ujir scoffed. "That one was just a girl living her life without knowing your existence, sire. She has yet to taste what it feels to be actually connected to you. The pleasure our mind goes through when we're closer to you... She is someone who never knew she was a Bee, so she's but a mere clone with fabricated memories."
One of Nawab's main Quirk, [Queen Bee], allows her to multiply her body to form 'Bees'. But this is not mere cloning, as Ujir said. The 'Bee' could have their own unique appearance, their own memories that Nawab can fabricate for them, and their own unique personalities. They were by no means mindless and were just normal human beings who were connected with Nawab's mind. Just that, some were dead loyal to her, and some didn't even know that they were a 'Bee' and their memories are fake.
But the reason Queen Bee is her 'one of her main quirk' is that there are more quirks to her. She has a Quirk that can transfer quirks to herself or others, from herself or others. Just that the person giving the quirk needs to be willing. Being the absolute ruler of this area, many people were willing to give their quirks at her single word. In fact, she gained this [Quirk Transferer] from another person, the last president of Afghanistan, who transferred his own quirk to her, in hope that she will let him live. But of course, she killed him ages ago.
Nawab smiled, grabbing Ujir's chin and pulling her forward.

"Haah, you don't seem jealous, you're just disgusted." Nawab said, feeling the emotion Ujir was feeling right now, as she was too a Bee in the end.
"Hm? You want to kill that girl? No, no, you can't. Neji will be mad." Nawab's lips stretched out into an unpleasant grin. "Besides, she can't die, she's to be absorbed and become a part of me again. I want her powers, as they belong to me from the get-go, and on top… I want the memories she made after our connection was lost. I want every second she spent with Neji after that to be with me."
Ujir simply stared at her Queen, her emotions calm and collected as she nodded.
"As you wish, sire. Just tell me what I must do."
