บท 25: Running away
17 and the other children who just saw two of their teammates getting killed and absorbed by Antonio were left totally speechless unable to think what to do to get out of the tentacles that were preventing their movements.
17 soon snapped out of his trance once he noticed Antonio looking at him intently and immediately started using his quirk to get out of the bind.
His body got enveloped in a blue aura which kept on getting brighter and brighter by each passing second.
"Oh! Is your quirk evolving in such a situation. SUBARASHI SUBARASHI!!!" said Antonio with an excited expression on his face seeing which the other children who were in his grasp looked at him with a frown on their faces.
But soon the smile on his face disappeared and he looked at 17 with a cold look on his face and said, "I will make sure to take this method into consideration inorder to improve your quirk back at home so, there is no need for it to evolve right now." and used his tentacles to tighten up around 17.
17 who found the bindings getting tighter and tighter increased the energy output, even though his body was already in too much pain because he was using his quirk at his limits.

'ARE YOU FU*KING KIDDING MEEEE!!!! THAT'S NEARLY FOUR TIMES MY USUAL STRENGTH WHICH ITSELF HAS IMPROVED A BIT FROM THE LAST TIME!!! AND THESE TENTACLES AREN'T EVEN BULDGING!!!'
17 gritted his teeth and then glanced at his MANA stat and immediately started panicking.
'SHIT!!! I CAN ONLY MAINTAIN THIS FORM FOR ONLY 5 MINUTES MORE!!! NOT TO MENTION THAT I AM SUFFERING FROM WAY TOO MUCH PAIN RIGHT NOW!!! HEY YOU ASSHOLE WHO CALL HIMSELF MY FATHER!!! STOP THIS ALREADY!!! DIDN'T YOU SAY THAT YOU NEED ME?!?! ARE YOU PLANNING ON TAKING ME BACK WITH ALL MY BONES BROKEN!!!'
"Judging by the look that you are giving me it seems like you want to ask whether I am going to take you back with your bones broken or not right? Don't worry, once we get back I will personally heal you with one of my quirks. Afterall we cannot leave someone who ran away from home with any sort of means to do it again right?"
17 and the others who heard that widend their eyes in shock and the other children immediately looked at 17 with a worried expression on their faces.
17 himself was panicking after hearing what Antonio just said, and immediately tried to use customize create on the tentacles to deform them and get out of there.
'Huh, Why is it not working on this tentacle!!!'
But once he tried to use it he found that the customizing screen was not recognising the tentacle as an object to be customized and was not able to get out of there.
Feeling that his bones were about to crack up any second along with what he just saw made his skin paler and paler by the second.
He started struggling making useless movements to get out of the tentacle but everything he did was in vain.
'Now I know how those girls in those videos fel- STOP IT BRAIN!!! THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!!! Think something think something think something!!!'
He then once again glanced at his status screen to check the amount of energy left within him but just as he did that his gaze fell on something and immediately his eyes widened.
But soon he narrowed his eyes and soon closed them to concentrate a bit better.
"Hmm....giving up already...well once you realize that you are facing someone OP then that is the moment you realize that you fucked up to much, nothing can be done about it." and shrugged his shoulders. His gaze then fell on the other children and said, "Now then by the time he runs out of juice let's have you all get taken care of."
The other immediately panicked and 21 and 28 tried to use their quirks to get out of the grasp, but were unable to that as well.
Seeing them struggling Antoni had an amused smirk on his face and thought, 'Really, just because I gave you all a bit freedom since you all were cultivating your quirks for me, you decided to get away from the lab. A bad move kids...Well another lesson for me to take note of.' and was about to pull back the tentacles.
But suddenly a lot of silvery shining solid started to come out of 17's whole body and started covering him making all of them surprised by the sight.
But Antonio soon came out of trance and increased the power of his tentacles to destroy the solid, but to his surprise there was not even a dent on the mental.surface and it was even the tentacles which started to be pushed back by the metal.
"What the hell is that metal like thing?!?!?!"
But no answer came instead 17 who was still covered in his blue aura came out of the metal by making a hole through it using customize create and immediately used his sword and cut of the tentacles that were holding his teammates by enhancing the sharpness and adding a cutting favourable skill to the sword.
17 then fell on the ground because of the pain and then noticed that blood was coming out from all over his body making him give out a tired sigh.
'Looks like that my quirk is backfiring now. Time to stop using it.' and immediately the blue aura around him disappeared.
He looked at the other children and said, "I am unable to move so 28 can yo-"
But before he was able to finish 21 said, "St op28!!! He is already the target of that bastard and now he will even be a burden if we have to carry him. Let's run away!!! Maybe he will even stop following us if 17 is left behind!!!" and immediately used his aqua jet to run away from the spot, not willing to get caught by Antonio.
The other three were shocked by what 21 just said, but all of them soon realised that right now their priority was to get away from the people who captured them.
17 looked at the other two with an expectant look on his face thought he himself knew that the chances of them accepting to help him after what 21 just said was close to nil which coupled with the fact that they could hear Antonio blasting his way through the earth wall made by 17 to buy some time made his chance for survival even thinner.
And just like what he predicted, looked away and ran away using his quirk without even looking back at him. "....Sorry" was all that was heard by the black haired boy who lowered his head in disapointment.
But soon he felt someone pulling him up and his whole body shivered thinking that Antonio was already here. He wanted to attack him but both his body was in no condition to do so.
"Don't forget to pay me back for all this you ass hole."
17 opened his eyes in shock and looked up only to find a familiar blond haired boy carrying him on his back and started running away.
"35!!! W-w-what ar-"
"Shut it we don't have time, and don't think that I am doing it because we are friends or some shitlike that!!! It's just that my quirk is not suitable to fight him so having a 'weapon' who can deal with 'him' is my best choice for my survival!!! AND DON'T YOU DARE SAY CRAP LIME YOU CANNOT USE YOUR QUIRK BECAUSE YOU ARE IN PAIN!!! DEAL WITH THAT IF YOU WANT TO LIVE!! YOU CAN REST ONCE ALL THIS IS OVER!! OR BETTER REST IN PEACE IF YOU DIE BECAUSE OF PAIN!!! BUT DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE TO HOLD NE BACK!!!"
17 who was on 35's back was surprised by his actions and soon nodded his head once he heard his speech.
'No time to rest I guess. Ughh....' and once again he used his quirk in the form of firing blasts of kinetic energy behind him to boost 35's speed. He even used his customize create to improve 35's running speed by customizing his shoes and clothes along with a customisation of improved his vitality which further improved 35's stamina a bit.
He then looked back and saw Antonio rushing towards them at ridiculous speed seeing which he shouted, "35!!!"
"I KNOW MY QUIRK IS TELLING ME!!! DO YOUR JOB PROPERLY SHIT HEAD!!!"
17 didn't say anything and used his customize created to form various walls of earth behind him inorder to slow him down.
'Ughhh....I want to use vibranium to buy more time, but if I take some out now, then it would make it difficult for 35 to run....Why did I not used the vibranium from earlier to trap him in the first place!!! I want my vibranium back!!!'
He continued to shout in his mind and also focused on Antonio to make more walls to stop him.
"SURPRISE MOTHERFUC*ERS!!!!"
But to their surprise both of them heard Antonio's voice from above and looked up only to find a multitude of missiles coming towards them which were being followed by the man in question himself.
35 tried to stop and change his directions once again but k ew that it would not be possible since he was somehow running at a very hig speed which was further increased by 17's kinetic energy boosters.
17 himself was unable to think of anything as there was not enough time to make a wall to defend themselves.
Both of them gritted their teeth to prepare for the impact. But to their surprise including Antonio himself a large amount of silver metal was rushing towards them seeing which 17 thought, 'I can call it back to me as well!!! Hell yeah!!!'
"35 BEHIND THAT METAL BALL IMMEDIATELY!!! JUST DO IT!!!"
35 who was shocked by the sudden order still followed it regardless and got in front of the metal ball.
"Heh Heh this will not take much time." said 28 and made a very thin sheet from the approaching metal ball which was stopped by 17's customize create.
"THAT THIS AS FUCK SHEET IS SUPPOSED TO SAVE US?!?! ARE YOU RETARDED ASS HOLE!!!"
17 looked at the angered 35 and said, "Heh! Behol tha gratness of Vibranium (in T'challa's accent)" and placed the thin sheet above himself such that it covered both of them.
The incoming missiles started hitting the sheet soon enough but except for the sound of the explosion nothing was felt by the either of the two of them.
"Woah, what the hell!!!" said a shocked 35 who only received a smirk from 17 in response.
But before he could even retort Antonio appeared near them punched both of them away making 17 fall of 35's back.
"Enough playing around, let's finish this in the old fashioned brutal way." and fired multiple missiles at the two of them without wasting anytime.
17 and 35 who were now without the protection of the sheet looked at the incoming missiles with horror in their eyes.
But before the attack was able to hit them a white flash passed in front of them and carried the two of them away from the strike zone.
"Phew, that was close.... You two get back!!! Heroes will take care of him from here on." said Rumiko who was barely able to save the two children from the missile attack.
Soon enough a loud noise was heard making all of them turned around only to find a short old man levitating in the air along with a group of heroes behind him.
