章 76: Cooking With Beru!
__________ POV Narration__________
The situation was extremely bad for Hosu city, and it was all because a certain group felt the need to make their presence known and wanted to see how a few of their recruits would fare against heroes.
The Meta Liberation Army was still acting as an underground force, they were not planning on naming themselves and going completely public as of yet.
But they needed to look into how their strength would fare against the hero community.
Any casualty was just considered a sacrifice for the greater cause that they were trying to attain. A better society that relied on the strength of their 'Meta Abilities' or quirks.
It was a movement that aimed to get rid of a lot of the corruption that plagued Japan, as well as a way for Re-Destro, the current leader of the Meta Liberation Army, to achieve his father's dreams.
The people they recently recruited were villains, and some of them seemed to be there for their own reasons. Dabi, Magne, Moonfish, and the person that Re-Destro found the most agreeable, Twice.
The Meta ability of Twice was actually what even allowed this attack to happen.
He had taken proper measurements of a few of the high ranking members of the Army as well as the recruits and created an actual army of copies.
Re-Destro was excited to test out that ability against the heroes, he obviously picked a less occupated part of town to test it out.
He sent the clones out to simply create some chaos. Not leaving any names or anything of the sort. Just fight and take out as many heroes as possible.
The Meta Liberation Army wasn't yet ready to announce itself to the world.
Trumpet, Re-Destro's right-hand man, was still trying to gain a political standing of decent relevance to further the ideals of the Meta Liberation Army subtly to the wider populace.
That process would take a while, and they weren't quite ready to act before they managed to sway the people's perspective and opinions to their ideals.
Re-Destro had only sent clones of three people. Dabi, the blue fire quirked young man, Moonfish, the somewhat insane teeth quirked man.
The clones of Geten, the ice quirk user who is also one of the leading members of the army, were sent to supervise the situation.
He was currently watching the situation through cameras and was quite pleased with what he was seeing.
Although some heroes proved to be more trouble than others...
Beru wasn't someone that the Meta Liberation Army wished to antagonize. But it seemed that it was fated for them to cross paths, and not in the friendliest of ways.
Endeavor himself was not having the best of times.
He was doing his best to fight off the multitude of Dabi clones and Moonfish clones that were sieging him.
But he was having an extremely tough time. He couldn't really go all out either, as not all of the civilians had been evacuated yet, and he was afraid of harming them.
Dabi however, seemed to remind him of someone too. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but he didn't like harming Dabi's clones all that much.
He felt like he was burning part of himself. It was a distraction that he had paid for with a few injuries.
Gran Torino was faring a bit better in comparison. Nothing was holding him back besides his old age.
But he could still move around swiftly. The steam smoke screen had somewhat helped the aged hero, as he could somewhat manoeuvre around it using sounds and the experience he gained over decades of hero work.
But things went downhill for him when one of the Geten clones managed to freeze his leg while it was turning into a viscous liquid.
That slowed him down exponentially, and he was quickly cornered and pushed back, his mobility greatly affected and his senses affected by the pain of frostbite.
His situation quickly became worse as he didn't have the same energy that Endeavor did. And the other heroes were all struggling to evacuate as many civilians as possible.
He was forced to grit his teeth and keep fighting... Well, for three more seconds anyway...
Beru looked at the large crater/sinkhole his full-powered Air Cannon had caused in the middle of the street and he quickly decided on a course of action.
A purplish mist seeped out of his body and expanded into every corner of the battlefield. He opened up warp gates underneath all of the clones and piled all of them up inside that massive hole.
Even after all of that fighting, there was still over 100 of them inside that hole, and they still weren't enough to make the crater look cramped.
The heroes were surprised by the sudden disappearance of their enemies. Endeavor especially, as an enemy disappeared right before his fist managed to reach them.
He looked around a bit, and finally found the source of the disappearance.
He could barely see Beru's body due to the strange purplish mist obstructing his vision, it almost made Beru look like a purplish misty monster.
Gran Torino just sighed in relief after seeing all of the villains disappear. 'The younger generation will always surpass the old...' He wasn't even shocked when seeing the way Beru fought.
He knew that someone capable of taking down All for One was already at the peak of the world in terms of strength.
He could only smile as he looked at the mist retreat into Beru's body as the young insectoid looked down at the villains in the pit he had created.
They obviously weren't just staying put, they were all trying to escape through different means. But they didn't get the time to do so.
Beru hovered above the crater and extended his arms towards the villains. Pointing his palms straight at them.
A tsunami of flames was released from his palms, instantly turning that crater into a fiery pit and melting down a lot of the infrastructure nearby.
His attack burned the clones alive as all of them quickly turned to a viscous liquid. The liquid also melted and evaporated almost instantly.
The Geten Clones tried to create ice walls to block said attacks, they were quickly turned into water, then into steam, everything was evaporated by the extreme heat of Beru's enhanced Hellfire quirk.
It was initially taken from Endeavor, but when combined with the numerous enhancing quirks in Beru's possession... Well, the result was almost catastrophic.
An attack that he otherwise wouldn't have used if not for one thought on his mind.
'Fuck! I need to rush to that brat! I even told Inko that everything would be fine!' He just wanted a way to end it all quickly. And this was the fastest solution that caused the least damage to his surroundings.
Luckily, there were no civilians in the immediate vicinity.
The only close person was Endeavor, and he could feel the heat was extremely discomforting even for him. He was far enough for it not to harm him though.
Beru's stopped his flames after sensing that all of the clones were dead. It had already melted most of the cars nearby as well as whatever poles and signs were still standing.
"That was insane! There were civilians in the area!" Endeavor was quick to shout at Beru. Endeavor approached him, disregarding the searing heat.
He didn't have the same perceptive capabilities as the insectoid, so his worry and desire to hold back was well-founded.
He also hadn't known that Beru had a fire quirk, but he already knew that Beru was stuffed with well over a hundred different quirks.
So there was no way for Endeavor to tell he was looking at his own quirk in action...
"Don't worry~ No one was close enough to get hurt~" Beru said as his body released steam. It was slowly cooling down, but the use of hellfire easily boiled the blood in his veins and injured his insides.
He regenerated instantly, however, so there was no need to worry for him.
But he also didn't have any time to worry about these things.
He quickly unfurled his wings, blowing away the steam that was continuously releasing from his body as he started flying in the same direction that Izuku took.
Endeavor was even forced to take a step back due to the shockwave of his rapid departure.
He was a bit annoyed, but he didn't have the time to complain, as he quickly got to looking for any civilians in the area.
Well, right before checking out the crater that Beru had made... Curiosity was there after all...
The entire interior of that crater seemed to be melted. Almost like lava. He could feel the extreme heat on his skin still. It made him gulp as he heavily sweated.
It was either due to the heat... Or fear.
'What if such an attack was directed at us, the heroes? Who would be able to stop it?' He quickly shook off those worries though. Beru was also a hero. Such thoughts were just foolish.
But there was also another grim thought... 'It's impossible to tell if any of them was the original... There isn't anything left to confirm or deny that...'
He just shook his head and started looking for civilians to rescue. He was still a hero after all.
