章 79: Chapter 79: Fight (I)
"Quite the distinguished lineup here. Thanks for informing me about the information early so that I can gather everyone that is needed.." Tsukauchi said.
#5 hero: Edgeshot
#4 hero: Best Jeanist
#2 hero: Endeavor
#1 hero: All Might
#0 hero: Phantom
However, these were just the top heroes. But heroes don't just fight with quality, they fight with quantity as well. Gang orca, Mt. Lady, Tiger, Gran Torino and many others would also participate in this war.
He took a look at the heroes who were lining up in front of him, smiled and said,"Let's get this strategy meeting started."
"So why do I have to go and clean up UA's mess...? I got places to be." Endeavor was frowning, but it was nothing new.
"Technically, it wasn't UA's mess that we're cleaning up. We're just going to war~. Besides, aren't you an alumni? So why not give the school a hand?" Shido bounced around Endeavor, making the vein on Endeavor's temple twitch violently from the annoyance around him.
"Shido's right. This isn't just UA's call you're heeding...try to see the big picture, Endeavor." Tsukauchi agreed with Shido and said as he changed into a bulletproof vest,"The preservation of our entire hero society is rising on this operation. We have to settle this now, with full force!"
"According to Shido's intel, these villains occupied various hideouts. Since he had successfully prevented the kidnap of our students, it means that they do not have any hostages that they can use against us, so we would have no problem going in full force from the start." All Might stated.
"But how can you be sure that this brat has the correct intel? For all we may know, he might just be luring all of us into one massive trap." Endeavor growled as he pointed at Shido who was skipping around him.
"How rude, sparky~" The others were about to agree before they heard his next sentence,"If I wanted to take all of you down, I don't have to use any trap. I would have just killed all of you in your own houses~"
Everyone sweatdropped at his statement, while the ones who were unfamiliar with Shido took a step back in fear.
Tsukauchi was tongue-tied at this bold statement but hurriedly shifted back to the topic,"Anyways, we can trust his intel. I have cross-checked with various civilians living near that area and they have spotted several personnels that have matched our villain database."
Tsukauchi looked at Endeavor and seeing that he said nothing more, he breathed a sigh of relief before continuing,"Since there are multiple hideouts, we'll move in each hideout at the same time. By cutting off all paths of retreat, we'll be able to take down the entire organisation.
Of course, this means that we must split up our strengths, but I hope we can all work together to bring down this villainous organisation."
"Toshinori..." Gran Torino had his eyes almost closed as he muttered next to All Might,:Recruiting me, of all people, must mean..."
All Might immediately refuted,"'Of all people'? Hardly...Gran Torino! With the situation as big as it's become...we can be sure he'll make a move.?
"All for one..." Gran Torino's entire being radiated with a strong aura at the mere mention of his name.
"We're up against the clock here! Don't give those villains time to pull anything off!!" Tsukauchi yelled,"With the earlier press conference...we've tricked the villains into thinking we asked only the principal to cooperate! We want them to think we're in disarray!"
[A/N: Some of you might be wondering why there is still a press conference even though no one was really hurt or kidnapped, it's because of the fact that villains could even launch an attack in the first place. The public is thinking about how UA's reputation of being a famed and secure school is dropping, and how they are starting to think that UA isn't reliable nor secure anymore. To protect the last of their reputation, the press conference is there to ensure the public that it was still a n accident (even though it wasn't) and they can still protect their students even during a well-planned and well-strategised villain attack.]
"After hearing such an unsatisfactory declaration like that...they'll never expect that today's the day we take them down!! It's time for payback!"
Various police officers and pro heroes had joined forces to take down the various hideouts. They quickly stomped towards their respective targets and stood outside, waiting for the signal to begin.
"Time to turn the tables!! Heroes!!" All Might said as his fist clenched and his arm pulled back.
"SMASSH!!"
All Might didn't waste a single second and punched right through the brick wall, causing all the villains in the hideout to freak out.
"What the-?!"
"Kurogiri! Warp us..." Himura ordered immediately after seeing more than ten pro heroes storming inside the building. He could spot at least thirty police officers outside, but what he was more concerned about was All Might.
"Preemptive binding...Lacquered chain prison!!" Kamui instantly shot out his vine-like arms and captured all the villains present.
"Wood, huh?! Like this could hold..." Dabi was about to release his flame when Gran Torino suddenly kicked him at the back of his head, causing him to lose his consciousness.
"Not so fast! You're gonna wanna take it easy...for your own sake."
"That's our young upstart, Kamui Woods! And the speediest old-timer out there, Gran Torino!! There's no escape for you, league of villains...why, you ask?!" All Might did a pose and said his signature line.
"Because we...are here!"
"It's All Might...!! And Phantom as well..." Mr. Compress, who was trapped within Kamui's wood, said with fear present in his voice,"Right after the press conference, though? They timed this...!"
"The tree guy knows how to pull, for sure! And push!" Twice groaned in pain while Toga just shrieked.
"After all our scheming and plotting...the final boss goes and shows up on our doorstep..." Himura didn't have a tint of fear in his eyes as he said calmly with a smile present on his face.
"No use, then...we're not only the ones you gotta worry about though...Kurogiri...bring them all over to play!!"
'He means the nomus!!'
"Yes!"
A huge patch of darkness suddenly surrounded them and all sorts of creatures suddenly appeared.
"What?! Didn't we already aim for their production factory?! What are they all doing here?!" All Might was shocked at the presence of these nomus. He casually looked at one of them and realised it was bigger than him, had six arms with razor-sharp thorns on them.
He took a look at another one and realised that this was even bigger than the previous one and although he only had two hands, his back had six pairs of wings, like the archangels in the legends.
"What are all these..."
Himura relished in the shocked and scared expression of the heroes in front of him before frowning when his eyes laid upon Shido.
"Aren't you afraid?"
"Afraid of your toys? Not really..." Shido replied cheerfully as he took a careful look at his surroundings,"I'm more afraid of him who started to have his own agendas. I allowed him to have one of the more powerful abilities I own, and he might have caused some annoying pest to multiply."
"Well, whatever. Nomu! Kill them all!"
"RAWR!!!!"
[A/N: Sounds like a cute roar lol...]
The ten nomus instantly rushed to the pro heroes the moment they heard their orders and wasted no time in beating them up. Kamui's wood was either shredded into pieces or disintegrated into nothing.
"Lacquered chain prison!" Kamui instantly unleashed his super move again, but this time, a nomu suddenly burst into flames and in doing so, every wood branch caught on fire and burnt into ashes.
"Ahhhhh!" He screamed in pain as the fire reached his main body, burning him alive.
A hero nearby saw his condition and immediately used his quirk 'rain' to put out the fire. In the end, he managed to put out the flames, but Kamui was already severely burnt and could not fight anymore.
"Karmui!" All Might looked at him with worry in his eyes and immediately commanded,"Bring him to a hospital now and get him treatment as soon as possible! Hurry!" The police officers were dazed when they realised that they could do nothing to help when even All Might was struggling against those nomus, so the moment they heard his orders, they instantly snapped back to reality and immediately carried out his orders.
The flame nomu didn't care about the fallen Kamui and just continued his attacks against the other heroes.
"W-Why are there still so many nomus?!" Gran Torino shouted as he hopped from place to place, dodging the heavy punches that were aimed at him,"Didn't we get rid of all of them already?"
"Haha...."Himura didn't move from his spot and just observed the fight with a maniacal smile,"It's true that you have gotten all the normal nomus, which is quite a shame, if I say so myself. But do you really think I'm going to be so stupid like that mentally-disabled predecessor of mine who just uses normal nomu against the pro heroes?"
"What do you mean?" All Might had a bad feeling about what would happen next.
"These are special nomus! The ones that you guys have fought before were nothing but experimental phase nomus with basic quirks. These nomus are enhanced by the strongest quirks you can find!" Himura laughed maniacally as he explained.
Just as he said this, Gran Torino's speed suddenly slowed down. He widened his eyes in surprise as he miscalculated the time when he would touch the wall and activated his quirk early, resulting in him crashing to the wall
"What did you do to me?!" He growled in anger as he quickly rolled over to his right to dodge an incoming fist.
"Why don't you ask Phantom over here?" Himura grinned,"But I will let you guys have fun with these special nomus and in case you don't have enough fun, my sensei will be here soon." He declared as he started disintegrating everything around him,"Kurogiri!"
"Ye-"
But before Kurogiri could do anything Edgeshot managed to reach inside him and mess up his body, causing him to lose his consciousness.
"Sigh, this is such a bad move. Let me show you something that I have never shown you before." Shido looked at the mess around him and sighed sadly. This war had gone on for far too short to have so many casualties.
"Michael!"
Everyone was distracted by the shining light that Shido emitted as a key appeared in his hands.
"Jerez!"
Pointing the key at a nomu, he turned it anticlockwise before pointing the key at another nomu and repeated his actions. This went on for the other ten nomus before each nomu disintegrated into nothingness.
"?!"
"Thank you. But what did you do, Shido?" All Might was panting hard as he went head-on against four of the special nomu. He wasn't doing very well and was constantly getting pushed back by the four.
Himura asked the same question but in a more agitated manner,"You! What did you do?!?!"
His previous calm but maniacal grin was gone. In its place was a desperate expression that demanded an explanation for what happened.
The other villains also got scared by the unknown action that Shido had done.
"Hm? Oh, it's nothing. I just decomposed the bonds holding the molecules together." Shido shrugged and stated in a matter-of-fact tone.
The others didn't know what to say and just remained quiet in shock. Shido thought that they didn't know what he meant, so he explained it again,"Basically, I just separated them into molecules. 'disintegrating' them in the process."
All Might was the first to recover and said,"Well, don't let the villains run this time then! Atsuhiro Sako. Himiko Toga. Jin Bubaigawara. Working with little intel and even less time, the police burned the midnight oil to figure out your identities. Get it? Now that your nomus are gone and there's nowhere left to run. So, Himura...lemme ask you...where's your boss?"
"Hahaha..." Himura laughed,"Who said I have nowhere left to run? Let me tell you, disintegration isn't the only thing I can do. Hahahahaha!"
As soon as he finished saying that, he immediately ran around touching all the villains and they disintegrated into molecules, disappearing to the night sky before All Might could capture any of them.
"Did they just...kill themselves?" Although injured, Gran Torino still managed to ask the important question.
"Nope. He's quirk is atomic manipulation. He can separate into atoms before rearranging them back to their original state, but it's not easy for him to do. The fact that he managed to do so proves that he is not only intelligent to use his quirk in the most interesting way, he's also good at controlling his quirk. One wrong move, and they would have disappeared forever." Shido explained.

Meanwhile
"Ewww! Are these things really alive?" Mt. Lady stuck her tongue and said in disgust,"Isn't it strange for a job to be this easy Jeanist? Guess I should've gone with All Might's team."
"You must learn to distinguish between difficult and important, you novice." Jeanist stated as he pulled some humanoid-shaped creatures behind him with his fibres. Looking at the police officers behind him, he continued his orders,"Riot squad, bring in the iron maidens...and do it quickly!"
"Ahhh...Tiger...how unfortunate. I had my eyes on one of your teammate's quirk for quite some time now. It was just too good, but unfortunately, Shido realised my plan and prevented it from happening."
A voice rang out from the darkness.
