MHA Universe, Earth, Japan, Musutafu.
"I wonder how our students are doing." Toshinori, sitting in Nezu's office, asked light-heartedly. "Well, everyone except for Young Soramoto, Young Hanekura, and Young Matou. Those three's exploits are quite well documented, after all. Young Midoriya is doing well, as well. But he still isn't ready to fight crime like those three."
"Ys, they are." Nezu replied with a smile. "Honestly, when Marcus-Kun first approached me with his proposal, I was quite skeptical. Not to say that I doubted those three. Rather, this was quite unprecedented. At no point in U.A.'s history has a student been allowed to participate in actual Hero work without their Provisional License."
"Indeed." Toshinori replied with a nod. "From what I recall from my own time at U.A., This internship is supposed to be mostly a learning experience, shadowing professionals to see how the Hero business works. And that is supposed to be for mostly behind the scenes things. Though, it was not uncommon to receive training from the Heroes the students intern with, either."
"Exactly." Nezu said before taking a sip from a teacup. He continued a moment later after exhaling a content sigh. "But those three are quite far ahead of the other students in terms of training. They have been training with a professional Hero for longer than a year, after all. And in Soramoto-Kun's case, it has been more than three years."
"Without the hostile living conditions, as well." Toshinori added. "*Sigh* Had Young Todoroki been cared for, rather than molded to be a tool, he would more than likely be on a similar level to Young Soramoto. But it is not my place to tell a man how to handle his own family matters."
"Indeed." Nezu replied in a solemn tone. "Unfortunately, Endeavor's wife never---"
*Beep!* *Beep!* *Beep!*
Before Nezu could finish, the sound of an HPSC issued communicator cut him off, causing Toshinori to reach into his pants pocket to retrieve it. And when he looked down at the message he received, his sunken eyes narrowed.
"Is something the matter, Toshinori-Kun?" Nezu asked in a serious tone.
"Apparently, something big is going down in Yokohama." Toshinori said as he stood up from the couch in Nezu's office. "Alfonzo reported that he and his interns, Young Soramoto, Young Hanekura, and Young Matou, came across a warehouse where Nomu were being created in Yokohama."
"What?" Nezu asked with his eyes widening to a comical degree. "Despite how talented those three are, there's no way they're ready for something like that."
"Well, Young Soramoto can probably handle himself." Toshinori said while bulking up into his All Might form. "But I'm not sure about the young ladies. That's not to say they are weak, though. Rather, they seem less experienced than Young Soramoto."
"I suppose I can't disagree with your assessment.' Nezu said as he reached out and started typing on his keyboard. "Either way, I'll contact as many Heroes as I can to get them backup. I'm sure you'll be going, as well, correct?"
"That's right.' Toshinori replied while striding towards the window. "I'll change into my costume on the way. But there is some good news coming from this situation, though."
"And what would that be?" Nezu asked, briefly looking up from his monitor.
"Mirko was tagging along with the group today." Toshinori replied while bracing himself against the window frame. "So, we know they have some reliable backup."
"That's true." Nezu replied with a small smile. "Well then, go quickly. I'll let your intern know that you won't be available until the afternoon at the very least."
Receiving a trademark All Might smile in return, Nezu returned to rallying the other Heroes to help with the incident in Yokohama. Meanwhile, All Might leapt out of the window before kicking off the air when he was high enough to start his journey towards Yokohama.
MHA Universe, Earth, Japan, Yokohama.
*Boom!* *Boom!** Boom!*
Floating just outside the Yokohama city limits, Alfonzo was looking towards the horizon where a dust cloud could be seen rapidly approaching the city.
"*Sigh* I think this is the biggest mother fucker I've ever faced." Alfonzo muttered to himself as he reached into the pocket of his trench coat. "Now that I think about it, what are this big mother fucker's powers again?"
The big mother fucker Alfonzo was referring to was All for One's most powerful ally, Gigantomachia.
"Damn… He really is big… Pause." Alfonzo muttered as Gigantomachia became more visible in the distance. "Honestly, all that shit I read on the wiki and whatever about him being at least three stories tall didn't do this nigga justice. Oops… good thing Lici wasn't here to hear me say that."
As Alfonzo said, Gigantomachia was around thirty feet tall. And from what he could tell, he was growing in size as he drew nearer. On top of that, Gigantomachia was built like Mr. universe, his musclebound physique more than obvious to anyone looking at him. And when you add those two things to the tan skin, spiky dark brown hair, his lower canine teeth that jutted out of his mouth and curved past his upper lip, and bare torso, Gigantomachia could not be referred to as anything other than intimidating.
"Well, at least he's wearing pants…" Alfonzo muttered. "I mean, he was naked when he first showed up in the manga. No one… And I mean no one wants to see that thing flopping around in the wind when he's running towards you like a fucking freight train."
As his words ended, Alfonzo pulled his hand out of his pocket. Held in that hand was a number of pieces of scrap metal. Though, they did not look like they would be of any use in such a situation.
*Zap!*
Yet, less than a second later, Alfonzo's hand began sparking with violet electricity. With that, the pieces of metal began to levitate above his palm. Then, they began to melt due to the high temperature. And now that they were more malleable, Alfonzo combined them into a rather large screw.
"Hopefully this should be enough." Alfonzo muttered while glancing down at the large screw floating above his outstretched hand. "If I can put him down before he gets too pissed off, this fight shouldn't be too hard."
*Zap~~~~~~~~~!*
With that said, Alfonzo increased the output of his electricity. At the same time, he created an electromagnetic tunnel in front of the screw, which was spinning at high speed.
"Holy shit… He's growing fast." Alfonzo muttered while watching Gigantomachia increase his size at a rate visible to the naked eye. "Yeah, I can't really wait any longer. Let's just let loose and see what happens."
With that said, Alfonzo tapped his fingertip on the screw's head. Then, a glowing orange line of superheated air was drawn from Alfonzo's fingertip to, and past, Gigantomachia's head… Or rather, what was left of it, as nearly half of the giant's head was turned into a mist of blood and scattered bone fragments that rained down on the surroundings.
A moment later…
*Boom~~~~~~~~~~!*
… the sound barrier broke, rattling the windows of all the buildings closest to Alfonzo's current location.
"Well, if he can live through that, I don't know what else to say." Alfonzo muttered to himself.
A moment later, Rumi's ears twitched violently, her sensitive hearing picking up the sound of the sonic boom from the roof of the abandoned bar where she was standing with Akatsuki and Sakura after Tatsuo teleported them away from All for One.
"What the hell is going on?" Rumi asked while clenching her fists. "First the kid disappears after we finish beating up the losers in the bar. Then, He pops back up with the two girls before disappearing again. At the same time, Static sped away towards the outside of the city. And now, there are huge explosions coming from where he went. Damn it… Is that bastard using me as a babysitter?"
Hearing Rumi's complaints, Akatsuki could not help feeling insulted, she was, in actuality, twenty years old, after all. As for Sakura, she could only look at Rumi sheepishly. As a more kind-hearted individual than the others… as long as it did not come to someone trying to get too close to Tatsuo, anyway… she actually felt kind of sorry for Rumi and all the bullying she had to endure from Alfonzo and Tatsuo.
"Well, Alfonzo-San said something about a really big guy coming from outside the city before he flew off." Akatsuki said while rolling her eyes at Rumi. "So, I'm sure he went to deal with that."
"A really big guy?" Rumi asked while putting on a contemplative expression. "A Villain with a [Gigantification Quirk]?"
"Probably." Akatsuki replied with a shrug.
"It was probably the one who helped Shigaraki-San and Kurogiri-San escape from custody after being arrested at the USJ." Sakura added in a soft voice.
Hearing that, Rumi's eyes widened in realization. Then, she snapped her head back in the direction of the sonic boom while lowering her stance and tensing the muscles in her legs. Clearly, she was preparing to jump from the roof and assist Alfonzo in dealing with Gigantomachia.
*Beep!* *Beep!* *Beep!*
However, before she could actually do so, Rumi's HPSC communicator beeped, indicating that she had an incoming message from the commission. Scoffing in annoyance, Rumi reached a hand to her belt and snatched the communicator from its holder.
"This better be important." Rumi grumbled while looking down at the screen. And she could not help scoffing again when she read the message. "Why am I not surprised? The HPSC always starts moving after shit is over."
"What happened?" Akatsuki asked in a curious tone.
"The HPSC is calling Heroes to help with the Nomu warehouse." Rumi replied while putting her communicator back on her belt. "But that incident is already over. You two dealt with that already, right?"
"Well, the Nomus are already taken care of." Akatsuki replied with a nod. "But things probably aren't over."
Hearing that, Rumi turned to look at Akatsuki with a solemn expression on her face.
"Now that you mention it, where is that brat?" Rumi asked with her eyes narrowed. "Why didn't he stay here when he brought you two back? What's going on at the warehouse?"
Before answering Rumi's question, Akatsuki and Sakura exchanged nervous glances. Not know if they're teams needed to defeat All for One without assistance, they were already trying to think of ways to keep Rumi from interfering with Tatsuo's fight. But now, they just heard that other Heroes would be showing up, as well.
"Well, before Tatsuo-Kun [Blinked] us over here, a man wearing a strange looking helmet had just walked out of the rubble." Sakura said softly. "So, he's probably there to deal with whoever that guy was."
"By the way, which Heroes are coming?" Akatsuki asked, trying to divert Rumi's attention. "Is All Might coming?"
"Probably." Rumi replied. "Musutafu isn't too far away from here, after all. Anyway, I'm gonna go see if Static needs help. If the big guy you were talking about really was the same one who broke these two weaklings out of custody, then he might need some."
*Bang!*
While she spoke about the two, Tomuraand Kurogiri, who were lying on the rooftop with a pair of [Quirk] suppressing cuffs on their wrists, she kicked Tomura lightly… Or lightly for her, anyway, as her kick caused Tomura to grunt in pain and wake up from his unconsciousness.
At the same time, Akatsuki and Sakura looked down at the two Villains, as well. And at that moment, they realized that Tomura's hands had been bandaged heavily. On top of that, he only had four fingers on each hand.
"Yeah, that's definitely Tatsuo-Kun's work." Akatsuki said while shaking her head. "But I can't deny that it was an effective way to stop him from using his [Quirk]."
"He did exactly what Alfonzo-San told him to-do if he ever ran across this guy again." Sakura added.
"What are you talking about?" Rumi asked with a slight frown.
"It's like this…" Sakura replied. "Alfonzo-San said that Shigaraki-San's [Quirk] was a five-point [Quirk]. So, the easiest way to stop him from using it was to cut off one of the five points of contact needed to use it."
"And Tatsuo-Kun seems to have taken that literally." Akatsuki added while rolling her eyes. "I swear, he goes with the violent approach a little too often."
"He can be a bit extreme at times." Sakura said. "I mean, when he saw my brother abusing me in the past, he kicked him in the… um… you know… so hard that he would never have kids in the future."
While Akatsuki knew that was a watered down version of the events from Sakura's world, Rumi, who did not know Sakura's family situation, found herself smiling widely at Tatsuo's decisive actions.
"Hahaha! Looks like the kid isn't as bad as I thought." Rumi said while laughing hardily. "Still, how did he not get arrested for something like that?"
Seeing that they were able to completely avert Rumi's attention from going to help Tatsuo, Akatsuki and Sakura exchanged another glance. This time, it was one with a smile. Then, they continued to chat with Rumi about things they knew Tatsuo had done, modifying the stories to fit this world's dynamic, while hoping that everything would end satisfactorily.
Partway through their conversation, Akatsuki and Sakura heard Alfonzo's voice coming through the small transceivers he gave them before the operation.
{"Gigantomachia is down."} Alfonzo said calmly. {"And he'll never be getting up again. At least he shouldn't be with half of his head missing. Anyway, I'm gonna go see if Tatsuo needs a hand. If he's not done by the time I get there, I'll help him put All for One down before the other Heroes start showing up. And with All Might supposedly on his way, I don't think we'll have much time."}
Hearing that, Akatsuki and Sakura, still engage in conversation with Rumi, both tapped their transceivers inconspicuously to acknowledge Alfonzo's instructions.
{"And I see the two of you are keeping Mirko occupied."} Alfonzo continued. {"Good job. You two probably have the hardest job right now. So, I'm really grateful. Thanks."}
Akatsuki and Sakura could only hide awkward smiles at Alfonzo's thanks while continuing to try and keep Rumi's mind off the situation. Meanwhile, Alfonzo, flying at high altitude, flew towards Tatsuo' and All for One's battlefield to help put All for One ddown before the other Heroes showed up.
