章 1404: 69
Endeavor stood next to Hawks on the sidewalk his eyes locked on a certain building. The building in question was a condemned office building slated for demolition. The building had once been a business, but after a villain had nearly caused the place to collapse it had been condemned. None of that mattered to the number one hero though. The only importance this building had was that it could possibly be holding the League of Villains.
Hawks and endeavor were one of two teams assigned to investigate buildings that matched Hound Dog's description of where Mr. Compress had been hanging his hat. The other team was comprised of Miruko, The hero Crust, and Ryukyu. Endeavor had tried to push Hawks to join that team as well saying he didn't need his help, but Hawks had blatantly refused. Endeavor sighed as he looked at the younger man. "Let's move."
Endeavor strode purposefully towards the building. The neighborhood at this time of morning should have some foot traffic, but there was none which was a testament to the work of Endeavor's sidekicks. They had spent the early hours moving and evacuating people from the area. If this turned out to be the Leagues base then Endeavor would most likely be engaging the League in its entirety. He needed the space to perform his techniques without worrying about civilians. Endeavor couldn't help, but think that All Might would have been able to accomplish this task even with civilians around.
I don't know if you can see me where you are, but if you can I want you to see how I operate as the number one hero, All Might. Endeavor thought as he burned through the handle of the door and opened it. He looked around as he walked in not spotting any threats. The two heroes began a sweep of the building starting from the bottom and working their way up. The building had three floors with the bottom one being a lobby of sorts while the next two would be cubicles.
It was now Hawks' turn to perform. He sent out numerous feathers to the upper floors as a scouting party while Endeavor and he searched the bottom floor in person. The search didn't take long which worried Endeavor. From what he could see several people had been living here. He noticed trash from the Szechuan restaurant down the street as well as a dust free path indicating it had been cleared from numerous footsteps. With that done Endeavor and Hawks made their way to the second floor and just like the last one there was no one there.
Endeavor was starting to get frustrated as he entered onto the final floor. If this floor was empty then that meant Miruko's team had the correct building or worse neither building was correct and they'd been wasting their time! Endeavor walked onto the floor and saw that this was wear the League had gathered or even slept. As soon as he stepped into the room Endeavor felt a grating sensation on his nerves and twisted his neck from side to side to try and alleviate it.
"Hey Endeavor you ever get the feeling you're being watched?" Hawks asked making Endeavor turn around to reprimand him, but as he did he noticed Hawks holding one of his feathers and saw it was pointing straight up. What happened next was almost too fast for anyone to react to. On the ceiling was a large Nomu with a hood. Its glowing yellow eyes snapped open within the depths of its hood before a crooked smile spread across revealing crooked and misshapen teeth.
"H-he-heroes!" The Nomu spoke before its back ripped open allowing several small objects to fall from it. Endeavor unleashed a swath of flames to incinerate them.
The office building exploded showering the area in bits of concrete as a thick plume of smoke erupted from it. Two objects broke off form the smoke revealing themselves to be Endeavor and Hawks. "I can tell you're not used to working on a team Endeavor you should have warned me you were going to do that." Hawks chastised him before Endeavor scoffed.
"Stop your complaining. If Midoriya could react to something like that then so can you." Endeavor barked back as Hawks sighed.
"You know it's really mean to brag about your protégé to me. I'm doing my best." Hawks whined as from the smoke appeared the hooded Nomu.
"H-heroes m-must d-d-die!" The Nomu said in a raspy and jarring voice.
"Enough talk here it comes!" Shouted Endeavor as the Nomu used the thrusters on its shoulders to fly towards the two heroes.
Miruko back flipped kicking the Nomu in the chin shattering its teeth as she landed on her feet away from it. They'd fell hook line and sinker for the League's trap. When she Ryukyu, and Crust had searched the supposed villain hideout there had been two Nomu there waiting for them. She grit her teeth as she watched the teeth fall form the Nomu's mouth being replaced with new ones like a shark. The Nomu gnashed its new teeth.
The Nomu before her was a truly bestial sight. It had smooth horns that pointed forward from the sides of its wolf like head. The Nomu had black fur starting at its head and ending at its shoulders. The pair of predatory golden eyes situated atop its snout focused solely on Miruko and nothing else. Where the fur ended at its shoulders it transitioned into shiny bluish black scales. This Nomu lacked hands instead its left arm was a large snake and where its hand would be was a snake head that continually lashed the air with its tongue.
Where the right hand should have been was a lion's head complete with a thick dark mane. The Nomu's chest was covered in those same bluish black scales that ended above the Nomu's jeans. From the bottom of its jeans protruded a pair of feet similar to that of a rhino. This Nomu was the picture of the animal kingdom and all that feral ferocity was directed at Miruko.
The beast Nomu rushed forward at Miruko opening its jaw impossibly wide. Miruko dodged to the side hearing the snap as those shark like teeth closed inches from her left arm as the Bunny hero turned on her heel and slammed her leg into its ribs. Through her leg she felt the snap as her leg broke several ribs. Even with this pain the Nomu didn't falter as its snake arm wrapped around Miruko's leg.
Miruko grit her teeth as the snake began to crush her limb squeezing her leg viciously and opened its mouth ready to latch onto Miruko's side. Miruko growled as she jumped off her standing leg and raised it in an axe kick that slammed down on the Nomu's head. Its head slammed into the concrete as it's arm loosened enough for Miruko to get free. Miruko looked down at her leg and the coiled bruise that climbed it. Miruko shook her head. "No time for pain." She said shaking her injured leg to get the blood flowing again as the beast Nomu raised from the ground.
"Miruko are you alright?" Crush shouted as he faced off with the second Nomu alongside Ryukyu.
"Don't worry about me, stay focused!" Miruko shouted as she jumped forward slamming her knee into the beast Nomu's chest before grabbing hold of its horns to bring herself upward with a knee to the Nomu's chin before locking her legs around its head and twisted flinging the Nomu over her and into a wall.
Crust watched this maneuver before nodding confident that Miruko had a handle on the situation. Turning back to Ryukyu and his opponent. The Nomu before them was covered in deep blue skin. Its brain was exposed and it possessed no mouth. Its limbs were disproportionate to the rest of its body. The Nomu's arms drug the ground even with its long legs making it dwarf Crust. Suddenly the Nomu fell apart turning into some kind of liquid before slithering across the ground and then from its liquid form spears of what looked like ice shot up towards Crust who formed two shields and blocked the blow that sent him sliding back.
Ryukyu reacted slamming her claw down on the Nomu puddle shattering the spears. The liquid Nomu appeared between Ryukyu's claws slithering up her arm before forming a solid fist that slammed into the dragon hero's temple. Ryukyu stumbled to the side from the blow as the world shuddered in her vision. The liquid on Ryukyu's arm formed the upper body of the Nomu. The Nomu raised its fist changing it into a dangerous spike and then lunged forward intending to drive that spike through the stunned Ryukyu's head.
Suddenly the Nomu's world spun making its attack go wide glancing off Ryukyu's scales. Crust had launched himself at the Nomu slamming his shield into its side tearing it from its lower body that was wrapped around Ryukyu's arm. The Nomu fell to the ground with a sickening splat. "Don't forget you abomination. Heroes work together!" Crust shouted.
Gentle Criminal and La Brava sat in a tea shop sipping their tea. It was a special blend for a special occassion. This would be the day that Gentle Criminal would be inducted into the halls of infamy. Gentle Criminal had once been a man known by the name of Danjuro Tobita. He had wanted to be a hero more than anything else, but time and time again he'd failed. Those numerous failures had twisted his ambition. If he couldn't be a famous hero he would be an infamous villain.
This was his moment. He would invade UA the most protected place in this country. If he could accomplish this he knew that all those failures from before would be wiped away. Every down vote on his videos, every hurtful comment would be nothing in the face of this achievement. "I think it's time we go La Brava." Gentle said as he stood up and laid some money on the table as the two exited. He and La Brava were both dressed in cloaks and large brim hats with masks and sunglasses.
They couldn't risk being spotted or recognized before they got to UA. "We're on a tight schedule Gentle, but if we leave now we'll definitely make it in time." La Brava said as they began walking towards UA. The walk was uneventful as the two did everything in their power to avoid any and all obstacles. It was as they neared UA that the duo came across a strange group of people. It was four people being led by a man in a black hoodie the other three wore cloaks similar to Gentle and La Brava. It was as the two groups passed each other that bad luck reared its head.
A strong wind blew at that moment that pushed back the leader's hood. Gentle and La Brava's eyes widened as they looked into the crimson eyes of Shigaraki. Shigaraki pulled his hood back up as his clicked his tongue. "Well that's no good." He said before turning and pointing at Gentle and La Brava. La Brava didn't see what happened as Gentle had jumped in front of her his back facing Shigaraki.
Something wet splashed onto La Brava's face. After so much time with Gentle having something spilled onto her wasn't all that unusual so she wiped at her face, but everything changed when her glove came back stained with blood. "G-Gentle?" La Brava said as Gentle fell to his knees. The older man placed his hands on La Brava's shoulders. Blood was leaking form Gentle's mouth staining his lips and even his once pristine mustache.
"La Brava…run." He gasped as he shoved the younger girl away from him before falling forward allowing La Brava to see that Gentle had been pierced by Shigaraki's red and black fingers. The leader of the League of Villains pulled his fingers back as they gave a subtle glow.
"Elasticity hunh?" He said and shrugged. "Sure why not." Shigaraki said dismissively before casting an eye towards La Brava. "So what's your quirk?" He asked breaking La Brava from her stupor allowing her to run away at full speed. Tomura watched her go for a moment then turned to Toga. "Kill her." He said simply as Toga smiled from within her hood and rushed after the girl discarding her cloak in the process.
"Sure thing!" She said happily as she raced after the small girl.
Tomura turned to the body of Gentle Criminal and then turned away. "Dabi burn the trash." He said simply as he and Spinner continued on to UA. Dabi sighed.
"Since when did I become the trash man?" He growled before kicking Gentle's body into a nearby ally as he then spewed flame onto the body reducing it to ash in moments.
Izuku was looking around the auditorium and marveled at all the work Class A had done in the last few days. "I'm getting excited for the concert, aren't you Eri?" Izuku asked as he looked down at Eri who was holding his hand and smiled happily.
"I can't wait is it soon?" Eri asked as Izuku shook his head.
"Sorry Eri it'll be a little bit longer." Izuku said pointing at the clock on the wall. "When the short hand gets to the nine and the long hand gets to the twelve that's when the concert will start." He explained as he walked around the auditorium and noticed the pile of rope he was supposed to use to support Aoyama. Izuku frowned as he noticed the frayed and tattered rope. "That's not good. I should get some new rope." He said as he and Eri left the auditorium.
Izuku was going to take Eri back to the faculty dorms while he ran to the store, but as luck would have it he bumped into Mirio and Tamaki. Mirio spotted Izuku and walked over to him. "Izuku and Eri what a nice surprise!" Mirio shouted as Tamaki hid behind his more extroverted friend.
"H-hello Midoriya." Tamaki said from behind Mirio. Izuku smiled at both older boys before looking to Mirio.
"Hey it's good to see you two. Umm Mirio I hate to ask, but could you watch Eri for a moment. I have to go get some new rope for the Class A concert." Izuku said as Mirio gave a thumbs up.
"Not a problem Izuku, go for it!" He shouted as Izuku looked to Eri.
"Eri I'll be back soon ok so just hang out with Mirio. Oh and I'll bring you back something too." He said as Eri smiled brightly. Izuku stood up before producing a pair of shadow wings and taking off into the air. Mirio looked up at Izuku's retreating figure and shook his head.
"I'll never get tired of seeing that." He said as he Tamaki and Eri went to go see the rest of class A.
Izuku flew around the buildings heading towards the nearest convenience store he could find and landed outside one. He walked up to the door only to find it was closed. "Oh that's right a lot of places around UA close for the festival. Oh man." He said flying around from store to store until he finally found one open.
"You're a lifesaver mister." Izuku said as he walked out of the store and looked at his watch. "I've only got a few minutes before the concert. I can make it though." He said but right as he was about to take off he heard a crash from a nearby street. Although it was against his better judgement he couldn't help, but approach the sound. He looked around the corner and saw a little girl with brilliant red hair trying to get up from the ground. Izuku dropped his bag as he approached the girl.
"Hey little girl are you ok?" He asked as he lifted her up and realized he had made a mistake. "Umm I mean Miss are you alright?" He asked as tears began to flow from the girl's eyes smearing her make up.
"Help me, h-help me please!" She shouted and then Izuku noticed the blood on her face though it didn't appear to be hers. Then there were the slashes across her legs. Izuku frowned.
"Tell me what happened." Izuku said as she clutched his shirt.
"They killed Gentle." She cried against his shirt as Izuku picked up the sound of footsteps. He looked up as he locked eyes with Himiko Toga. Toga had the face of a killer, but when she saw Izuku her murderous intent immediately stopped as her face grew hot and turned pink.
"Izukuuuu!" She moaned as she walked towards the green haired boy. Izuku stood up hefting La Brava in his arms. Toga frowned at this before clicking her tongue. "You naughty boy flirting with other girls when you have me." She said before throwing her knife at La Brava trying to end her life, but the knife was slapped aside by a golden flash of one of Izuku's tail.
"Toga." Izuku growled and the blonde haired girl shuddered in response.
"Oh Izuku." She said biting her lip as she produced several knives. "I'm going to make you bleed." She said as Izuku looked at Toga and then La Brava in his arms. It wouldn't be hard to fight against Toga even with this girl in his arms. Still something didn't feel right. What was Toga doing this close to UA by herself and untransformed? Himiko smiled at Izuku. "I can practically hear the gears turning in your mind Izuku, but don't worry I'm alone. I just came to see you, but she spotted me so I have to eliminate her. You understand right?" Himiko asked as Izuku shook his head.
"No Toga I don't understand and I don't believe you. You're a lot of things, but you're not stupid. You wouldn't have come this close to UA without a disguise nor would you have let someone see you outside your disguise. Something is going on at UA." Izuku stated bluntly as Toga smiled.
"You know me so well Izuku as well as I know you! We're perfect for eachoth-!" Himiko felt a thud as something slammed into her stomach. The breath was knocked from her lungs as her legs went numb. She fell forward only supported by Izuku's arm and his palm in her stomach.
"I can't afford to play with you HImiko. I wish you were a better person. Miruko told me what you said about Magne. You're capable of love so I know you have the potential to be a good person. Maybe then we can talk." He said as Himiko smiled. Her periphery was going dark as she slipped into unconsciousness.
"You called me Himiko." She said as she slumped forward. Izuku looked at Himiko's unconscious form and sighed. He turned back to the bag of rope he'd bought for the play and tied Himiko up. He looked at the shaken La Brava he'd sat on the ground before knocking Toga unconscious. Izuku reached for his phone and growled.
"Dammit I left it behind!" He hissed before something was pressed into his hand. He looked down to see La Brava pressing her phone against his palm. She wasn't looking at him and from what he could see of her eyes they were staring at something a million miles away. His heart broke for her as he took the phone. "Thank you." He said as he dialed the police. "Hello this is JForce. I have Himiko Toga in custody as well as an injured woman. I need pick up ASAP. He said as the dispatcher responded. He nodded as he looked between the two females. He wanted to get back to UA but he couldn't leave Himiko here. She might wake up soon and escape before the cops got here, and this girl whose name he didn't even know was injured.
Izuku huffed heavily. "Be safe guys."
Hound Dog was hurrying through the woods around UA his nose breathed in big gulps of air taking in every scent. "Hound Dog are you sure you smelled something?" Ectoplasm asked as Hound Dog growled.
"Don't doubt my nose Ectoplasm! I smelled a strange scent. It was like a gust of wind brought the scent of a room with it. That makes no sense!" He shouted as he rounded a tree finding the origin of this scent. There was no one there, but clearly the scent of a foreign place was emanating from here. Hound Dog's ear flicked as he turned around pushing Ectoplasm out of the way as Hound Dog's arm was punctured by a bullet. He growled as his arm was snatched to the side by the bullet's impact. "Ectoplasm get out of here warn the school!" Hound dog shouted as he ran through the brush towards the direction the bullet had come from and slammed his shoulder into the villain standing there ramming him into a nearby tree. Hound Dog stood up looking down at the unconscious villain as he heard more rustling and several more villains appeared around him. Hound Dog reached up and tore the muzzle off his face and howled ferociously before launching into battle right as the opening fireworks went off.
"Where is fucking Izuku!?" Shouted Katsuki as he threatened to break his drumsticks.
"Calm down Katsuki, Midoriya just went out to buy some rope because he was concerned about dropping twinkle shine there." Kaminari said pointing at Aoyama as Katsuki growled.
"He should be back by now, how long does it take one loser to buy rope?!" He shouted. Mina sighed scratching her cheek.
"I hate to admit it but Katsuki's right. Izuku should be back by now. I mean he can fly what's the hold up? We start in like ten minutes." Mina said as the door to the auditorium was opened. There was a silhouette of a man in a hood standing there.
"Sorry sir the concert won't start for another few min-!" Momo's voice fell away as she looked into the face of Shigaraki.
"Oh sorry looks like I'm early." He whispered as his hand shot forward.
