"Son, you did, in your mind" Inko reminded, "You fought…that thing with that shield" she stated, seeing her son actually look at her, then at the shield, then at his right hand, his whole body was glowing purple, aside the ethereal scale looking armor he had.
He looked right now like a bizarre looking knight, without sword.
Izuku for his part shook his head, looking ahead, he could hear more steps, more unnatural steps, more were coming towards them
His mother noted this, checking if she had more ammo, looking at her pockets she saw she had four more clips, those Under Takers had enough ammo for her to waste.
"How many?" Inko asked, Izuku for his part narrowed his eyes.
"LAAS" he uttered, eyes narrowing further, "They are too piled up, I can't count them, but I see at least three that are bigger than the norm, and I presume five Lickers, already on the ceiling"
"Those…eyeless things" Eri muttered, gaining the attention of Inko, "They look in pain" she added.
"They are" Izuku said, slowly putting weight in his right leg, he idly noted he didn't feel much pain, either the Light was empowering him so much that a leg broken in fourteen places, lack of skin and damaged muscles were a minor inconvenience or he was currently swimming in enough adrenaline to put ten people on a high they would never replicate.
Maybe a bit of both.
"I can thin the herd a little, but" Izuku began, actually aiming his shield onward, in a protective manner-
And a semi-transparent, purple barrier emerged from the shield, covering her son from head to toe and occupying most of the hall, Inko looked at herself, noting how the gun she held was slowly glowing purple as well.
"Oh my, I got Weapons of Light" Izuku said with some glee, observing Inko's gun, "We can use this, mom, stand behind me, right now you got double damage" he said with a small smile.
Inko blinked, the news slowly processing, then the news processed, and she smiled, she had, in effect, the rate of fire of a submachinegun, but with the hitting power of a heavy machinegun, with modded ammo.
"Oh this is going to be good" she hissed as she rose her gun and her son began to advance, Eri right behind them.
They didn't get too far before they saw the next wave of opposition, more GOLEM's, more Lickers, and Under Takers.
"Looks like I'm not running out of ammo" she hissed as she took aim behind her son's barrier.
"Open fire mom!"
And fire she did.
The coliseum catered to many of the underworld's worse and most dangerous, its wide selection of support items, custom made of course made it also somewhere most criminals came to get their gear, when an event wasn't happening, which meant in the morning, as most of the events happened at night.
Dabi was known in the underworld and someone who made no compromises in works, but was fair, an oddity if you want to be technical, but Dabi had a rule, don't cross me I don't cook you and boil your blood.
Anyone who had worked with Dabi (And any criminal in general) that trust was something fickle in their line of work, anyone could get greedy and get 'ideas'
Ideas that might get someone on Tartarus, or dead.
So anyone that worked with Dabi knew that he took his job seriously, despite the fact he had a silly name, that name was about the only silly thing about him, his Quirk was no joke, the nasty patches on his skin and the staples holding it to his real skin were no joke either, he is a professional despite his laidback attitude, and if you cross him well…people tended not to last that long to come regret it.
He also knows a lot of people in the underworld, comes with the territory, so when a Yakuza sat at his side, Dabi grew concerned, because he knew this guy, because he had done some clean-up for his organization, and he has a pre-order of some special bullets that he plans to use against Endeavor when they are perfected, yet the unfinished product works as good as the finished, but he wants to drag the torture as long as he can, after all its not just Endeavor he wants, but his family as a whole.
"Business or pleasure Chrono?" Dabi said as he took a bite of his hotdog, the man at his side, plague mask and all simply glanced at him, then at the center of the still empty arena.
"Business, we lost something" Chronostasis stated, "Or rather, we got robbed" Dabi actually looked at the man with an odd look.
"Who is retarded enough to try and steal from the Yakuza?"
"Someone with a death wish, like the Troupe here" Chronostasis stated, making Dabi frown
"I would be careful on how you phrase that, you know those guys simply don't care" Dabi stated, "But what brought this suspicions to them?"
"They took the catalyst straight from us, only two organizations can accomplish that, The Troupe and the Meta Liberation Army" Chronostasis stated as he pulled something from his clothes and handed it to Dabi, upon inspection it was a picture.
"This is the Catalyst?" Dabi asked, eyeing the small girl with white hair and red eyes on the picture, she looked scared and seemed to had never smiled a day in her life.
"Yes, they took her from the cell she was, there was no way to know that, but they did, they also got several of our men killed, Overhaul-sama is not happy as you can expect" Chronostasis stated.
"When he is happy? He takes things too seriously, I mean he has the heroes by the balls and they don't know, I would be happy" Dabi stated, taking another bite of his food.
"Tsk, I don't expect you to understand Overhaul-sama as I do, his job its too important to 'take things lightly' we are aiming to reconstruct the world and rebuild the Yakuza to its glory days, it is a serious job" Dabi rolled his eyes at Chronostasis statement.
"…I haven't seen or heard anything regarding a girl with white hair, let alone one with red eyes and a horn that looks it can gore someone, but I have heard rumors that they got something special planned tonight, and you know what 'special' means here" Dabi stated, making Chronostasis narrow his eyes under the mask.
"Yes, a bloody opening, know anything about the lambs?" Dabi shook his head.
"Nope, only that they pissed her majesty Bee enough for her to oversee their capture personally, that and it cost her a lot, the BOW's send didn't return" Dabi stated, making Chrono narrow his eyes again.
"Curious, usually it's the other way around"
"Yeah, thing is that there was no cop report, either this was done hush-hush, something Bee is not known for, or" Dabi let that sentence hang.
"Or the cops under the Troupe payroll cover it up" Chronostasis ended.
"Maybe, but we know that might not be true, that chief they got has been flushing the rotten apples aside and flogging them for the public eye to see" Dabi stated, talking about the sudden purge or several departments, including Musutafu's police force of moles and corrupt cops within their force.
Chronostasis knew this as well, most of their bought cops had fell to that operation, and had force them to be more…delicate on their operations.
"Also" Dabi hesitated for a second, then looked at Chronostasis in the eyes, "I saw a T-Doll" there Chronostasis looked at Dabi in shock.
"A T-Doll? There hasn't been a sighting of one in Japan in over five years, most sighting are in America and Europe, where their bases are located and heroes and military are constantly fighting Troupe forces, what the hell is one doing here?" Overhaul's right hand asked.
"Beats me, but I assume its related to the 'main attraction' of the night, a T-Doll its serious security, especially one of the M series" Dabi stated, making Chronostasis groan.
"Wonderful, a T-Doll, and you said an M series, where is it now?" he asked.
"Don't have a clue, saw it for a second enter one of the elevators connecting to the pens and generators, dressed as extravagant as one, a Victorian maid, looked rightly…unamused, the prisoners must be staging an escape" Dabi chuckled at the mere idea.
Both men knew that trying to escape from the lower levels was simply not possible, many of the BOW's that fought upstairs were left to wander downstairs, only members of the staff with IFF on them allowed them to wander the area bellow without risk of getting attacked by anything there.
The idea that someone got out was ludicrous, but if that T-Doll had decided to go and reinforce the creatures there it meant that whoever was under them was really valuable to the Troupe to simply let go.
"You know" Dabi began, finishing his Hot dog, then going for a bag of popcorn "Those areas are not off-limits to us lowly spectators" there Chronostasis smiled under his mask.
"Yes, but I think you should stay here, we are high-profile as it is, if we move together people are going to wonder" there he had a point, Dabi liked to work with him from time to time, he was serious on his jobs, and didn't do stupid decisions, this might count as one.
"If the off-chance your girl is there, and with escort of whoever is trying to escape, what are you gonna do?" he asked.
"Simple" Chrono stated, showing his gun to Dabi, "My Quirk's activation is too…technical, it never hurts to be prepared" he said as he stood up and walked away towards where the T-Doll had left.
Dabi simply hummed to himself as he munched on his popcorn and waited for the event to begin, honestly said, he was really hoping for something to happen.
A GOLEM met the wall face first.
A Licker got its neck caved in.
A Tyrant got a machinegun to the mouth, then got its head ventilated.
An Under Taker tried to flank them, only to fall to the ground, a puncture wound on the side.
Advancing onwards had become a very dirty affair for the trio, the simple fact that there were too many creatures that kept coming in, pouring into the hall and keeping them from advancing at a steady pace.
Inko ducked under the blow of a GOLEM, bringing the barrel of the gun to the chin of the GOLEM and opening fire, instantly killing the creature, then switching targets and aiming it at a Licker trying to blindside her son, only to have its head nearly severed by five rounds that tore the neck apart.
Looking at her right and Under Taker tried to rise up and aim its gun at her, only to fall and deflate, Eri was at its side, her horn leaving a puncture wound on its side, on a human, the wound would have been hitting the liver, a fatal wound, it seemed it was the same case with the Under Taker units.
Kneeling at Eri's level she flashed a smile at her and took two more clips of ammo of the deflated corpse, then rose her gun an opened fire at the exposed leg of a Deathclaw.
How a creature that seemed to tower over All-Might and a Tyrant was able to fit on this hall was beyond her, but it seemed to regret trying to as it became a target for her and her son, the massive frame of the Deathclaw, alongside its massive claws and arms meant it was built for open spaces, not this narrow passages.
Her son had been quite vocal when he saw the think, calling it 'fucking Deathclaw' this was the second they took down, the first one had freaked her, Eri and her son down, but once they realized that it had effectively bottle the other forces up with its frame, this had allowed her to basically murder with impunity, using her son's shield to take the brunt of the Under Taker's bullets, which simply bounced off the shield and fire with empowered impunity against the forces, but once the first Deathclaw was as death as disco, the damn broke and the others joined the fight, still it was rather close quarter combat.
Her son's shield turned to be a rather fearsome close quarter's weapon, mostly because it seemed to be rather indestructible, and also disintegrated his opponents.
THUNG!!
With a move of his hand Izuku just smashed his purple shield into another GOLEM, all while his Siren arm suddenly backhanded a jumping Licker that went splat on a wall, another tried to jump him, only for two arms to wrap on its head and middle section, then actually turn the Licker into an accordion, the sound of spinal bones being compressed among the shriek of agony of the Licker as it was then used as a melee weapon against two GOLEM's.
Inko, not far behind, turned her attention against another Under Taker, they were, laughable fragile, a single bullet could take them down, but they were numerous, so she focused on body shots instead of headshots, less likely to miss.
Then there was of course the Deathclaw-
"AAGHH" Inko yelped as her gun was swiped of her hands, and was surely useless, she could see the barrel basically being split apart by the Deathclaw's massive claws-
Then the Deathclaw roared in pain as her son punched it in the stomach with the shield, then back-handed the massive jaw of the creature, making it stagger, it didn't went far four siren arms latched on the Deathclaw's arms, then pushed it to Izuku who again bashed the Deathclaw's maw, this time teeth flew off.
Inko looked at the scene, then focused on the fact she was disarmed, looking around she spotted another MP5, using her Quirk the gun flew to her hands, with a quick switch and chancing it to full auto, Inko began to lay suppressing fire once more against the GOLEM's and any Licker that tried to stop them-
RIIIPP!!
Then a head landed on her feet, the Deathclaw's head to be exact, looking up-front she saw her son's siren arms were the reason, they pretty much yanked the head off its shoulders.
The Under Taker units seemed to realize that this was going bad now, raising their guns and opening fire-
Only for Izuku motion the corpse of the Deathclaw to come between them and the bullets, using the thick hide of the Deathclaw to stop bullets.
Inko took her chance, once she heard no more shots, she poked out of the corpse of the Deathclaw, seeing the Under Takers reload, at the same time, she rose her gun and opened fire.
Fire Under Taker fell under her fire, once her gun clicked empty she ducked down as more Under Taker began to pour in and shoot, once they ran of ammo, Inko poked again out of cover and opened fire once more.
She repeated this three times before no more Under Taker units appeared.
Izuku pushed the now bullet riddle corpse aside, allowing him, Inko and Eri to move onwards, this time it seemed, they had finally no opposition whatsoever.
It seemed like that until they reached a double metal door, this one opened automatically once Izuku was close enough, there he actually growled in annoyance.
There was a Malboro, another Deathclaw and a Nemesis.
A Nemesis with a Minigun in one hand and a machete that surely was more like a knife for the Nemesis in the other, a Deathclaw with actual armor on its chest and head, and a Malboro that had cybernetic eyes, and cybernetic tentacles.
"Wonderful" Izuku hissed, Inko groaned in sheer annoyance, and Eri had a look of utter horror upon seeing the Malboro, honestly Izuku could not blame her, it was the kind of things nightmares had nightmares off.
Izuku surveyed the area, the three creatures had yet to see them, but that could change quickly, three rather meaty monsters he might add, the area they were now was rather ample, wide as well, like an atrium, but with high tech cells that were in fact tubes of some sort on the walls, all of them were opened, which meant his mother was right, someone knew of their attempt at escaping and was trying to stop them, and these were the last obstacles.
Thing was he knew that there were problematic obstacles.
Marbolos were know in Final Fantasy not for their health, which was in the average, but what made them really dangerous was their breath, which could cause several status ailments in one strike, from basic confusion to berserk, poison, silence and blind to name a few.
Deathclaws by default were dangerous, their claws could render armor with ease, their hides could shrug small ammo like nothing and were ferociously fast, despite their size, their bellies were in fact soft spots, but because they tended to hunch during movement, it was only during a pounce that their bellies were exposed to attack.
The Nemesis as they were tended to be dangerous as well, an upgrade to the Tyrant series, they could outrun anyone they chased, were as strong as a tyrant and took as much punishment as one, what made them dangerous was that a Nemesis was smart, human smart, it could plan, make ambushes, use weapons, all in order to catch its prey, as that was they were created for, hunt.
Now these three dangerous creatures were given upgrades never seen in videogames, at least two out of three, the Nemesis did wield a Minigun at one point, but no one really likes Operation Racoon City.
The Malboro and the Deathclaw were close, the Nemesis was isolated, a plan was already forming.
"Mom, stay back" he said as he advanced at the Nemesis first, and took a deep breath, this was going to suck for his throat.
"ZUN HAAL VIIK!" with a mighty shout aimed at the Nemesis, Izuku's voice alone tore the Minigun and the machete from the Nemesis hands' flying away from the monster as it looked at the flying objects in something akin to shock.
Then Izuku turned to the Malboro and the Deathclaw.
"KRII LUN AUS!" both creatures recoiled, as in pain as Marked for Death hit them full force.
"KRII LUN AUS!" and again.
"KRII LUN AUS!" and again.
"KRII LUN AUS!" and once more, Marked for Death was a cruel shout, depleting health and reducing armor for sixty seconds, it was both poison and weakening, in-game it can be stacked to the point that using a your fists can be an effective weapon to oneshot Dragons, the creatures with the highest armor rating, meaning defense, and worse of it, it was permanent.
This same applied to real life, making someone's defense as brittle as glass, "Mom take the Deathclaw!" Izuku shouted, turning to the Nemesis and letting one final shout.
"FUS RO DAH!" the Nemesis had little defense against the empowered Unrelenting Force, and was lifted of the ground and smashed to a wall, where a spider crack was formed upon impact, the creature let out a roar of agony as it slid down, and showed that the point of impact had now purple blood in it.
With that out of the way Izuku turned to the Marbolo, the creature was as fearsome as one would imagine it would be in real life, rows of teeth that salivated obnoxious poisons, eyes that were also tentacles and tentacles that made it look like a nightmare sunflower, the Marbolo was made to unsettle and put terror on the hearth of others.
All Izuku saw as an obstacle that needed to be burned, so he ran against the creature, angry and really, really done with whatever Bee had in mind, because when he gets his hands on her-
The Malboro swiped several tentacles at Izuku's feet, Izuku simply jumped, jumped higher than he could ever, then he jumped in mid-air, reaching the apex, then he burned.
Izuku felt Solar Light envelop him, and he embraced the fire, and he shaped the fire in his hands, all eight of them, and he spun in the air, letting glowing knives out of his hands at speeds no man should be able to thrown them, all aimed at the Malboro, the creature's massive bulk was an ideal target for the Knife Barrage, and with six extra arms, it was like four hunters tossing the Super at the same time, at the same target, the Malboro roared in agony as the first barrage burned with unnatural force, a fire that simply burned hotter than any other fire, after all Solar Light was derivate from Quantum forces, what fire could possibly match that?
The Malboro simply died and turned into ashes as the Solar made knives met their mark and burned to a molecular level, upon landing Izuku focused on the second threat, the Deathclaw, still standing but filled to the brim with bullet holes, slowly advancing towards his mother, who was reloading.
That won't simply do, no one approaches his mother to hurt her, with a yell he slammed his left fist on the ground, and beneath the Deathclaw a fist emerged, pushing the beast up and then enveloping it in a bubble of fire, burning it slowly and attacking it at a cellular level.
"Mom now!" Izuku screamed, Inko took her cue and now with time, took perfect aim at the head of the Deathclaw, she emptied the clip on the beast's head, and once the phasegrasp was done, the beats fell, dead.
The Nemesis was slowly standing up, but had little time to regain breath as Inko and Izuku turned their attention to it, with a roar Izuku's glowing arms began to spun then they were fired, like missiles, still spinning, and glowing red, the Nemesis had only time to stand up as six, Solar infused Siren fists slammed it with such a force that it simply exploded in a shower of gore and purple blood and small chunks of meat, and the wall behind it got burned as a collateral.
Then there was silence, Izuku took deep breaths, Inko reloaded and took deep breaths, Eri was breathing hard as well, she had never seen so many monsters getting annihilated in such a manner, not even Overhaul could do this and not get overwhelmed at one point, but these two people, Inko and Izuku did in fact did what these things were trying to do to them, overwhelm them.
They were very close to escape now.
"Mom" Izuku called, "How are you doing?" he asked, still enveloped in Solar energy.
Inko actually scoffed, "You're really asking me that? You're on fire!" she exclaimed, rather worried, in hindsight she shouldn't be, she just saw her son not be consumed by his power, he was not on a power trip, which said a lot, considering that most kids when they unleash their Quirks tend to have their first power trip, it's a make or break to them.
Honestly it was like staring at a mirror now, when she first used her Quirk to the point of exhaustion she was in such a high that she wanted to keep using it, to show the world that her Quirk was not weak, to show her parents she was not weak, but logic and a cool head prevailed.
She still remembers her parents disappointed look, now she knew better, they hoped to get her in the high and encourage it to control her, she didn't break, she made herself that day.
"Mom I just saw you shoot your way towards some creatures most gamers take a 'nope' approach, I saw you shove a gun at a Tyrant's mouth and ventilate its head with it, I just saw you gun down a Deathclaw with a Machinegun, most people use rockets to deal with Deathclaws" Izuku said with a small smile, making his way towards his mother, then padding Eri's head, making the red-eyed girl to lean for more.
"Well" Inko began, "Most gamers aren't me" she said as she one-hugged her son, and kissed his forehead, "I was really worried you would go on a rampage" she said.
"I nearly did" Izuku admitted, breaking the hug, "Now we must leave" he said, "I think we got all the BOW's, all that's left are Quirk users" he said, making Inko raise an eyebrow.
"You make it sound like they are the easy part" she said.
"They are human, they are my age, I think the sight of a gun and a kid with glowing All-Might Size arms and on fire or electricity will cow them" he said, "And if not" he let the sentence hang, Inko nodded at that, with that said they began to move towards the exit of the room.
Only for the door to open and someone else enter, Izuku and Inko were instantly on guard, seeing a…maid?
A Victorian dressed girl had just entered the room, brown hair tied and held by the headpiece most maids wore to cover it, green eyes that seemed to glow and skin that seemed to be a little pale to be healthy.
The maid simply stopped, then her long skirt seemed to bristle, as air actually shuffled beneath, Izuku had the terrible thought that the girl just farted, then he heard what he assumed was an engine, or engines, then it sunk in.
"Oh no" Izuku whispered, his Siren Arms activating and the Solar energy licking his skin intensifying, "Mom, that's a T-Doll" he whispered to her, her reaction was instantaneous.
In the military she, and by extension everyone was taught to do one thing against a T-Doll when spotted.
Open fire without mercy, Inko did just that, the bullets breaking the sound barrier and instantly petting the form of the maid that seemed annoyed as bullets began to tear the clothes, but the bullets bounced off its skin.
"Shit" Inko swore as she reloaded, the maid-doll had enough, and rose both arms, instantly the sleeves were torn as the upper forearm lifted up, exposing mechanism and…two barrels on each arm.
"Oh no" Izuku said as he grabbed the Deathclaw's corpse and rose it up, then the maid opened fire.
"Mom! Take Eri back! I'll deal with the Doll!" Izuku screamed, his voice making the room vibrate as he began to advance, using the Deathclaw and not waiting to hear a response.
The T-Doll, M98 actually blinked when she saw the half a ton cadaver being used as a shield and being moved towards her, then tossed at her with great strength, with a sneer she somersaulted the speeding corpse-
BAMMM!!!
Only for her internals to flare damage signals as her left side detected damage and her internal gyroscope began to spin out of control, she realized while arresting her fall that she had been hit with sufficient force to bend a metal rib and cause her gyroscope to be miscalibrated for an instant.
Looking up she saw the reason of the damage approaching her at alarming speed, for someone with a leg broken in fourteen places, Izuku Midoriya moved way too fast.
Raising her arms again to fire M98 had nanoseconds to put them to block instead as two fiery phantom arms shot out like missiles, slamming into her forearms with sufficient strength to skid her feet into the ground and burn the sleeves of her clothes, damaging her skin as well, sensors going at overload as temperatures of over 2000 C° were registered, it began to damage the skin, muscles and metal bones, she could 'feel' her blood simply vaporize within her arms.
Jumping away as another phantom arm was fired and hit the wall behind her, cracking it and burning it, M98 began…exceptional procedures.
"Command, I am engaging with one of the escapees, one Izuku Midoriya…damage to right side of ribs, he can generate phantom limbs with heat output of at least 2000 C° of temperature, damage to skin, muscles and blood minimal but it can raise if hit enough times" she waited for a response.
"Uh…did you just say…oh my god what kind of readings I'm getting at? are you fighting at the surface of the sun!? I'm detecting temperatures of over 5000 C° and…what kind of bullshit energy readings are this?"
"Unknown, but Midoriya seems unaffected, and so are he considers allies, I spotted his mother close-by, at that distance she would be cooked alive but she was fine" M98 replied as she jumped away into a roll of another attack, this time three arms were fired at her-
Then Izuku jumped into the air, spinning, and KNIFES! Flaming knifes appeared on his fingers, and he then tossed them at her.
M98 sensors were in overdrive at that point, each knife registered temperatures of over a million, that couldn't be right, she shifted her energy to dodge, devoting every single of her processes to dodge the sudden barrage of knifes fire at her-
A knife grazed her face and her cheek simply melted, her sensors simply froze upon trying to register the damage, only that it was bad.
"Jesus on a pogo M98 what happened? I just got a whole reading that makes no sense!!"
"He melted my cheek" she answered, keeping a healthy distance of the now very dangerous kid, his dossier was all wrong, everything about him was wrong!
"Excuse me? Your skin is designed to take rockets what the fuck it's going on!!"
M98, for all her advancements and highly advanced brain, had no clue, "…Transmitting visuals now" she instantly linked with the transmitter in the coliseum and hooked into command almost immediately, satellites ushering the transition easily.
"The fuck am I looking aTT WHAT THE FUCK WHY HE IS NOT ASHES BY NOW!! AND WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT SHIT AROUND HIM!!"
M98 had no answer to that either, even with a Quirk the human body could only take so much before succumbing, Endeavor was registered to generate flames of over 1300 C° and it left him panting due to sudden rise of temperature.
This kid right now was generating temperature alike to the sun's photosphere, which meant he was right now the strongest fire user in the world.
She could finally hear commotion back on the line, it seemed her operator had decided to hook up with the rest to find a solution.
"M98, I am Omega, you got full authorization for lethal force, do not let that boy get away, kill him and bring the corpse" now she had better options for survival, no holding back anymore.
"Roger…engaging Protocol La Muerte" she hissed with a grin, letting the source of her energy unhinged.
The vents on her tights fully opened, letting heat out and burning her skirt by the sheer heat, her muscles began to gather mass as more energy was fed, of course there were sacrifices for this power, she had to shut off long range weapons, but she had her close quarter ones, mechanist shifted as two compartments opened on the underside of her forearms, then letting out a of blades out, each one a foot long, with a grin she grinded them together.
"You are quite a nuisance, not only killing our BOW's but damaging facilities and Troupe gear" M98 stated with a hiss, Izuku for his part simply glared, his phantom limbs flexing and ready to fight as he simply burned with power.
"I am authorized for lethal force, that means you will die, I will kill you, your mother and the child, your corpses will fuel the goals of the Troupe of a better world, our world, be grateful" she stated.
His answer, looking at his right hand, then focus, gathering fire, a lot of fire-
"My god M98 the readings on him are off the charts, I don't know what's he's doing but it can't be what the fuck" the operator on the other end of the country expressed her thoughts as she saw Izuku form something out of the fire, then the fire dissipated and she was what it was.
A hammer, a freaking hammer made out of solid fire, what in the actual fuck!
"The Troupe wants to create a new world, out of people's misery" Izuku intoned, then he cracked his neck, "That kind of world…is not worth living!" Izuku exclaimed.
M98 actually blinked, did he just-
"WULD NAH KEST!" every part of M98's positronic brain yelled 'impossible' alongside the operator on the line as Izuku simply shot onward with little propulsion and some words-
BANG!!!
M98 simply tumbled backwards, crashing around the ground until she rammed her heels to the ground and stopped herself.
"M98 don't get hit again! I just registered temperatures over 8000 C° on impact alone, and he's exerting strength not befitting his size, I think he broke your jawbone and melted the skin"
"Assume correct" M98 stated, unlike humans she didn't feel pain, so talking, even with a broken jaw was a simple matter, as long the muscles and her voice box weren't compromised then she could continue talking.
But he was right, she could not get hit again-
"FUS RO DAH!" Kinetic force of the kind she never expected hit her full force, actually ragdolling her and smashing her to a wall face first and actually bouncing off it.
By that point communications were the last of her concerns as her systems began to actually struggle-
BAMM!!
Again she was tossed again, this time her right side registered mild damage to the dermis, but the bones were another story, catastrophic damage, in short the right side of her ribcage was broken, and one bone was right now piercing her liver, wonderful.
Righting herself she launcher herself at Izuku-
"SU GRAH DUN!"
CLANG!!
And they began to duel, his flaming hammer against her swords, yet with her enhanced speed he was meeting each blow with ease-
A phantom fist met her face and lifted her of the ground, spinning in the air she took the chance and extended her arms, letting the blades come dangerously close to his face, which looked focused, too focused-
CLANG!!
He blocked her attack, he blocked it with perfect ease, then he parried it-
The hammer tore her right hand off, breaking the blade as well, it happened in an instant, her brain was playing catch up, her operator was still trying to figure the numbers appearing on screen, as she landed and spun away of the boy she came to a realization, the hammer hadn't tore her hand off.
It had melted it off with a thunderous and precise blow, there was nothing attached to the wrist, a weak point in any hand, it was melted, white blood came out, but in shorts and insignificant amounts, the blade was also melted, destroyed and useless.
"Oh my god M98 every time he scream words weird shit happens, I detect over twelve exotic energies with no actual way to figure out where it starts and where it ends!"
M98 was too focused to answer right now, only that this boy was way too dangerous to be left alive, he knew too much, way too much he had to be terminated.
She shot at him with ridiculous speed, her vents working overtime to expel excess heat on her body-
"TIID KLO UL!" he shouted-
And she found herself moving slowly-
"No" she thought to herself, "I am moving slowly, time has…dilated…impossible!" she saw Izuku move, he was moving slowly, but way faster than she was moving, towards her-
She moved her arms, but her limbs didn't answered at the speed she wanted, her brain demanded faster movement but her limbs simply refused to move at the speed demanded-
Izuku slammed the hammer on her face, and her skin boiled-
Three fists met her back and a vertebrae gave in-
His left, real fist punched her damaged jaw and teeth flew away-
Two phantom arms grasped her left shoulder and it burned-
A knee broke the ribs on her left side and burned skin and muscle-
Then all moved normally and she crashed face first into the floor, tumbling by momentum and finally stopping when she rammed her left hand to the ground, digging her fingers into the hardened floor, trying to stand up only to collapse on a knee.
"My god Omega sir we got to get M98 out of there! That kid's a butcher!" she didn't had the energy to reply to that, for he was right, Izuku Midoriya was butchering her, on-board sensors were simply struggling to convey the damage her internals were subjected to.
In simple terms if something didn't happened, she was dead.
Then it happened.
"M98 we have a situation, one of the C6 spotted several heat-signatures, the coliseum its going to be raided" she heard Omega spoke to her, "They are expendable, you aren't, we are issuing THOR directive, prepare yourself" M98 actually tensed, this was bad, this was really bad, this had never happened before on other sites, the eventualities were planned but it was expected to never occur, the heroes were never effective enough, they had the police infiltrated, they had future recruits in schools, waiting to be unleashed.
This wasn't supposed to happen, this isn't happening!!
Izuku for his part just looked at the T-Doll, trying to stand up, narrowing his eyes at it, he had gone mental with the Doll for one particular reason, they were dangerous and deranged, every single T-Doll was a danger to anyone around, despite having 'free will' they still obeyed without hesitation, if they were told to kill, they would kill, and worse of all, they enjoyed it.
"You dolls…I pity you" there M98 narrowed her eyes, one eye was sparking actually, dripping white blood, "You don't have free will, you just obey" he said with a small sneer on his face, "A man chooses" Izuku said as he rose his hammer wielding arm, "A Slave obeys" he added, "I chose to defy everything you stand for" and he tossed the hammer at her.
M98 rose her damaged arm, ready to block and push the hammer aside-
BOOM!!!
Only for it to explode upon contact, her arm flew away, or what was left of it, now a simple, reddened metal rod, all while her clothes and skin burned with fires hotter than anything and compromising most of her combat systems-
"Initiating THOR initiative!" those words made her day as the relay began to hum with life.
Izuku tensed up when he saw the T-Doll began to glow and crackle with electricity.
"You" M98 hissed, turning her attention towards him, "I'll kill you later, I'll kill your mother and little girl later" she hissed, "You have made enemies…of superior and noble forces than you can possibly imagine" she added, feeling the relay ready to fire.
"When all said and done, and the world is on its knees, the last thing you will see, be me, caving your…mother's head!!"
Then the relay fired, Izuku had a single second to consider the Doll's words before she exploded in a shower of light and lighting, letting a pulse of energy that hit him full force but fizzled as Arc Light simply pulsed and overpowered the wave, still it travelled all over the area.
It left an uneasy feeling.
Turning around Izuku focused on his mother and Eri, both looked relieved, but rather shook by the disappearance of the T-Doll.
As he approached the lights began to flicker-
"What the" then they died out.
The lights died out, and Mirio's radio died with it, and he cursed on his mind as panic seemed to sweep under him.
Unlike him the teens under him were not trained how to react in these kind of situations, he was, every single hero in training was, to remain calm and collected, even as the world seemed to unravel, they had to, people looked at heroes as beacons of hope and stability, they had to act as such.
But the situation right now was anything but simple.
On one hand they had a possible hostage situation, they had no idea where the Midoriyas where, and right now Queen Bee, who was present right now was the only person who knew where they were and was main responsible of the kidnapping.
He was behind enemy lines, the coliseum was a possible Troupe stronghold, the fact All-Might was inside made the situation worse instead of better, All-Might is a criminal deterrent, in Mirio's eyes right now, All-Might only has one function in this particular moment, to be a rocket launcher, to cause as much possible damage to the enemy as possible.
Then there was the heroes outside, who surely worried about why he wasn't communicating-
BOOM!!!
And that was his que that they were done waiting, between Endeavor and Mirko, there was enough firepower to overwhelm even the staunchest defense, but when those defenses have turrets, sometimes it pays to be cautious.
But with communications down and lights as well-
And of course the lights would return now, or rather the emergency lights, barely half of the lights in the arena light up, that meant a lot for Mirio, which meant the generators were compromised, by some reason, which meant the quirk suppressors in the lights could not be activated, not without compromising visibility for everyone.
That or the emergency generators only worked to power up the lights and that's about it.
Mirio risked a look down, to see how the situation was now-
And oh my god Yagi just transformed into All-Might during the blackout.
Something no one had noted so far, until his bench neighbor looked to his right and froze.
Mirio saw how All-Might actually looked back, with a smile, then oh no so gently 'padded' the boy's back-
BAMM!!!
Sensing him flying towards the ring and making everyone look at the source of it, and start to panic-
"YOU KNOW WHY ARE YOU GOING TO LOSE?" oh my god he is actually changing his catch-phrase to freak them out.
"BECAUSE I AM HERE!"
And then people started to scream in agony.
Mirio took a deep breath, the plan just went to hell.
"Oh well" Mirio muttered as he zeroed on Queen Bee's panicking form, then dropped from the rafters, activating his permeation once he reached the ground and then moved onwards, like a humanoid shark, he started his usual maneuvers, approaching Bee and her bodyguards.
Then he freaked them out when he was in front of them.
"POOOWWEEEEEERRRR!"
And introduced his fists into their guts.
Sir Nighteye was honestly wondering how he should kill Mirko and where to toss the body.
It was HER who started the raid the moment the lights went out and a freak storm formed.
Granted the storm died a minute later, but still the pulse that came before the storm came about and the light died out was strange.
Strange enough for Mirko to charge like a bull on steroids, and making everyone follow her.
Right now leaving one of the top ten heroes charge on their own towards Troupe territory with known BOW's nearby and a bunch of teens that were not right in the head was not a good idea at all.
So they all charged, and the first obstacle became apparent.
Robots, actual robots, why an underground fighting ring has robots was anyone's guess, but considering that they had BOW's it was not that farfetched this was guard, or better said last minute guards, they weren't present or reported by Mirio or Nerije.
BAMM!
That didn't stop Mirko from smashing them into pieces with her powerful kicks, they were blocky and slow, but moved with purpose, and mercifully were armed with only batons.
This only enforced the idea that the Midoriyas were there, and the robots were reinforcements against anyone trying to interrupt them.
"Might I ask why are we fighting robots?" Best Jeanist asked from his side, manipulating the fibers from his clothes to grab three robots and then with a yank easily dismember them from the joints.
"They are last minute reinforcements, Nerije-Chan and Lemillion didn't reported any kind of robots before" Nighteye snapped, throwing a weighted chess piece at the optics of the robot, making it blanch a little, enough for Endeavor to come an crush its head, or melt its internal components, one could not be so sure with fire and delicate mechanic parts within an advanced robot.
"I might have a suspicious as of why" another hero stated.
Clad in what could be described as an armored royal blue, white and gold accentuated Quai Piao, with white leggings making it all over the waist and an armored blue skirt, and heavy looking armor plating on her arms, a mask covering her whole face in the form of a Chinese lion in gold, the heroine Frost simply ducked under another blow of a robot, before forming a spear of ice and impaling the head of the machine, making it twitch and then go limp.
"If the kidnapped family is here and they are such a high profile as you make it believe" Frost began, pivoting to her left and dodging another robot, before forming an ice Axe and decapitating the robot, "Then the ringleader of this operation would want it to everything go as smoothly as possible, hence extra defenses" she added with a modified voice, the mask having a voice modulator, giving it a generic female robotic voice.
"All I know is that they are delaying us" Endeavor snarked as he slammed a fire propelled knee to a robot's torso, instantly caving it, "Oni! Spartan!" he called to two of his sidekicks, one dressed as a ninja with an Oni like mask, the other dressed as an actual Spartan warrior, shield and all.
"Go with Mirko and Frost, Nighteye get a contingent of officers and soldiers with them, by the time we get this done we might lose them! Dragoon, Jeanist go with them!" Nighteye actually nodded at that, it was a plausible action, they could not allow Bee and her cohorts and anyone in the coliseum to escape, this was too important.
"I can do this on my own!" Mirko remarked as she scissor kicked the head of two robots, landed and back somersaulted another one's head off.
"This is too important for your lone wolf shit!" Naosama snapped as he shot point blank a robot in the head, glaring at Mirko, "WE do this by the book, you can beat all you want inside, right now teamwork" he added as he double tapped another robot that was missing its legs and was crawling towards him.
Mirko tsk'ed but otherwise fell in line, she would not admit it out loud, but Naosama was about one of the few people that could reign her in without getting his balls kicked into their skulls.
With a gruff shout, Endeavor rose his arms and let out a powerful jet of fire, incinerating the robots on their path, at first it looked like it was doing nothing, but then they began to collapse, their internals either not properly insulated for heat or they were made for cheap and as a result were easy to damage with sudden shifts in temperature.
"Go, GO!" the number two hero shouted to the group as he and others began to engage in a distraction.
The entrance to the coliseum proper was in fact the entrance to the old Metro Lines that made the coliseum, as a result the entrance had stairs leading to the underground proper, so it was no surprise to the police officers that the heroes totally skipped the stairs with a single jump and landed on the bottom steps and instantly began to wail at whatever was attacking them, which turned to be the reason they were called in the first place.
When villains were not usually involved, these kinds of raids were left to the police of military forces, depending of the gravity of the situation and opponent, but when it involves Bio Organic Weapons and an organization that has been known for engaging heroes, villains, military forces and kill both politicians and civilians without discrimination, then all bets are off.
"Ufff" Mirko actually let out a small sound of annoyance and pain when a Tyrant punched her away, she had to hand it to the bastards of the Troupe, they made those things to last, it took a kick of hers to the arm and it didn't break, usually things breaks when she kicks it.
"OPEN FIRE!" not that it would help when five soldiers armed with armor piercing rounds fired of suppressed Assault Rifles began to let it out on the creature that began to actually stagger, Mirko narrowed her eyes, seeing how the coat seemed to deflect some bullets, but as the more it was damaged, the less it did, the fucker had a bullet proof trench coat, a heavy one at that, she could hear every step it made, everyone could, that thing might as well wearing tank platting just for the sheer weight.
Then the thing took a knee, bleeding purple blood and Mirko took her opportunity, with monstrous force she propelled herself towards the downed Tyrant and Spartan kicked it in the face.
The effect was instantaneous, with its head down, the blow caved the neck, and basically propelled the head into the chest cavity and pretty much killing it, unless it can function without a head and a skull surely fractured beyond repair.
She didn't even spared a glance as the creature fell, she zeroed on the second Tyrant-
That just got a spear trough the head and then decapitated.
"Damn you two" Mirko cursed both Oni and Spartan, both actually turned to her, and while Oni wore a mask, Spartan didn't, so he could see the grin on his face.
"Oh so sorry Mirko, we just thought we should lighten the load, I mean you being old and all that" Spartan said with a smile.
"Motherfucker my hair is natural white, I'm not old" Mirko replied, ducking under the blow of what intelligence and the man who knew the creatures, 'Mr. X' dubbed as GOLEM's, and rewarded the effort of the GOLEM with a caved chest cavity.
"My mom said the same" Oni replied with, what Mirko assumed was a grin, she could literally hear the smugness coming out of his mouth.
"I will shove my size fuck you feet up your asses and wear you both as sandals" she promised, like she always does.
"Considering you have rabbit feet you're going to reach right pass their stomachs" one soldier stated as he reloaded, then took aim as he fired at another GOLEM, hitting straight in the chest and making it stagger and then fall, dead.
"How many of these assholes are we supposed to find before we reach the fuckers on the center?" Mirko wondered.
"All-Might didn't specify, he expected the Tyrants, according to Mr. X we might encounter more, the Tyrants are in fact the baseline for the Nemesis" Nighteye countered.
"Wonderful, the no lip looking motherfuckers evolved from something that looks presentable" a cop stated with a sneer, "I am really hoping the kidnapped kid is in fact loose there, I saw what he did to those Nemesis back at his home" he added as he began to jog towards the hall.
Mirko actually grinded, she had seen the pictures, every hero in the operation did, five dead Lickers, beaten to death, two bisected Nemesis by what seemed to be pure energy and the outline of GOLEM's on the wall, left after something really hot vaporized them.
She was in the same camp, if the kid's loose, then it would be karmic justice at its best, and he would be in the right on using his Quirk right now, even without permit, he was in a situation where his life was endangered, he was justified on the use of whatever he has, the crazy Nighteye never specified what he can do.
Shaking her head, she focused on the task at hand, break the defenses, then break those brats inside, her kind of ops.
She didn't like to work with people because they got in the way, crammed her style of combat, highly destructive and highly dependent on speed.
But watching Best Jeanist fight, hell seeing Nighteye fight (a rarity) she kinda liked it, it was something she didn't do much, it might help her develop even more her combat style, even identify other combat styles and counter it without so much fuss-
BOOM!!!
"Okay that was weird" Mirko replied, the sound of an explosion sounding way far.
"Okay guys double time, we still have a lot of ground to cover" Naosama stated, reloading his gun and leading the pack of heroes and professional law enforcers onwards.
"Oh hell no! the lead is mine Naosama!"
And they continued onward.
Izuku kneeled in front of Eri, the glow of his Siren Arms, tattoos, the spectral armor of Dragon Aspect and the Arc energy coursing over him giving any sort of illumination to the now darkened room.
"Eri-chan, mom, are you both okay?" he asked, Eri simply answered with a shy nod.
"Yes Izuku, we are" Inko replied with awe, "You just totaled a T-Doll, the only one who has done something similar has been All-Might" she breathed, grasping her son's shoulder, "I think you're the first Quirk user to make one run away" she added.
Izuku for his part looked at the spot where the Doll had been, "Maybe" he muttered, "But that doesn't matter now, we have to leave, now" Inko nodded at her son's reasoning, holding the Sub machinegun in one hand, she reached with the other for Eri's own, which the little girl was more than eager to give, so far Inko has been a source of comfort, not to say that her son wasn't, he was warm and gentle, something you don't see when he was able to remove that…clawed monster's head.
For once in her life, she felt…safe, she had never felt safe, with Overhaul and the others she always felt…bad, like if she had done something bad and didn't knew why, or she did, but she was too afraid to admit it, the bullets they usually fire, the one with needles in their tips.
"Whatever that Doll used to escape, must have knocked the generators out, we might be lucky" Inko muttered, using her son as a living torch, which was not something Izuku was offended, considering he is shining like a mobile torch.
"It seemed to be communicating with someone" Izuku replied.
"Must been their handlers, all T-Dolls have one, mostly for coordination" Inko replied, old info back in her military days coming back, running against a T-Doll was practically a death sentence if you were alone, and even a platoon would have problems with one.
With time people discovered that the Dolls had handlers, people behind the lines that coordinated assaults or relayed info to the Dolls, and even found weaknesses of heroes who fought them, many a hero had perished against a well-informed Doll.
"I don't like it" Izuku stated, walking towards the door the Doll had used to get in the room in the first place, with the energy gone, it was just a matter of brute forcing the doors open, he figured they were automatic doors, the doors behind them opened automatically when they got close enough.
Then the lights were back on, but flickered and some simply didn't came back at all.
"Really? Emergency generators" Inko muttered, at least glad there was some sort of illumination, their walk to the doors was thankfully not met with any kind of BOW, a mercy really, she was tempted to ask her son if he could check if there were more surprises, but she held on, she could see her son was working on fumes, despite being able to overpower a T-Doll and creatures five times their size, he was obviously pulling strength from where he didn't had, she figured that having Paracasual enhancing powers still was taxing to the body, one that might be not prepared to begin with.
The door actually opened, a mercy considering how tired they were, the fact the automatic door was in fact three blast doors kinda made her iffy, but considering what the room had held before and the tubes in the room it kinda told her that this was were the BOW's were held in.
Once the third blast door opened, they entered the last room, one that made Inko raise an eyebrow.
"The generator room…at the side of the BOW's room…what the" Inko muttered loud enough for Izuku to hear.
"Mom, this was once the metro lines, they repurposed everything, those blast doors are about as new as everything else" Izuku reminded her, seeing the generators work, or at least some did, the majority looked dead and burned out, in fact Inko wagered that the sudden escape of the Doll might be the reason they burned in the first place and the ones working were in fact the only ones that resisted the pulse of energy.
At the end of the room lay what they were looking for, an exit, an elevator…that was currently…moving downwards.
"Crap" Inko muttered, "Izuku, go to the elevator and wait on the side, now" her son didn't question her, he seemed to realize the same thing as her now.
Someone was coming down.
Her son was already on the side by the time she motioned Eri behind her and took an aim at the elevator doors-
DING!
Then the doors opened.
The first thing Eri did when she saw who was on the elevator was to cling to Inko with all she had, because she was now, legitimately afraid.
Chronostasis was emerging from the elevator, his mask, that reminded her of birds, made her recoil in fear, the glasses on his mask that covered his eyes made her even more afraid, at least with Overhaul she could tell when he was angry by just looking at his eyes, with Chronostasis she could never tell.
Then he noticed her, and Inko noted how scared Eri was, Izuku, hiding on the blind side of the elevator, saw this too, and narrowed his eyes as the man entered the room.
"Well, I didn't really expected you to be here Eri" Chronostasis stated, walking in, never noticing Izuku, a big mistake considering Izuku was pretty much glowing, a mistake Chronostasis was not known to make, but considering he just found Eri…
"Not a single step onward" Inko stated, raising her gun at Chronostasis and making him stop, more than enough for Izuku to stand behind him without the Yakuza noticing this.
"Lady, you are making a big mistake" Chronostasis stated, pulling his own gun and actually leveling it up at Inko, Izuku bit the urge to shout the man into a solid figure of ice, if he tried anything he was going to pummel him into paste.
"Really? Then explain to me why Eri-chan is so afraid of you?" Inko began, "A little girl, with rags for clothes, bandages on her arms and legs and looking like she had never smiled or know anything about affection, that put red flags on my head" Inko stated with a sneer, "And before you try anything I have forty armor piercing, soft tissue tearing bullets loaded in a MP5A5 submachinegun, you're in the effective killing range of the gun, try anything and your last meal will be copper" Inko snapped.
Chronostasis actually scoffed at that, "I am Yakuza bitch" Izuku now wanted to remove the man's spine, "You as much shoot me we will have your entire family flogged and put in display for anyone to see and remind everyone we are not to be fucked with, now give me the child, now" Chronostasis snapped, Inko growled at that.
"And if I don't?" Inko asked with a mocking tone.
"I wasn't asking, give it now" Chronostasis snapped.
"Eri is a sweet child, not a thing, and the only place she will be going will be with me and my son" Inko said, there Chronostasis actually blinked behind his mask.
"Son?" he asked, then dared to look back, the last mistake he made.
"Sup" Izuku slammed an Arc infused fist to the side of Chrono, making him gasp in pain and his Quirk to basically fizzle out of his control, then two ethereal arms met his masked face and brutally slammed him to the ground, there Izuku began to wail on him, the gun flew of Chrono's hand and he was unable to use his Quirk because of the pain and the barrage of punches his body began receiving.
Eri only watched in awe as one of her tormentor was simply…beaten to an inch of his life.
Part of her felt…relieved of this, the pain Overhaul inflicted on her was always accompanied by the belittling words of Chronostasis, calling her a 'thing' and object, something Overhaul always did, but he always did it, reminding her she was needed despite being a 'thing' Chrono never seemed to care, insulting her, when the wounds on her arms would open he would mock her, and he was responsible for the death of a person that had given her shelter in such a way that still haunts her.
Seeing him on the ground, now bloody and with his limbs in odd directions made her feel…not fine, but rather, alleviated the pain he caused.
"Eri-chan" Eri looked up, so focused on the broken form of Chronostasis that she didn't notice the Midoriyas already on the elevator, waiting on her, "Come on Eri-chan, we are getting out of here" Inko said with a encouraging smile, one her son mimicked.
Eri nodded, still unable to smile, but she felt she one day could, as she moved onward, she eyed the form of Chronostasis, without his mask he looked…normal, or as normal he can be with his face looking like hamburger meat.
Eri stared at his face, then her eyes narrowed, then she rose her little feet-
CRACK!!
Chronostasis was so out of it that he never noticed the broken nose Eri had added, with a sniff Eri ran to the Midoriyas, Hugged Inko's leg, then did the same with Izuku's, then nodded at the duo.
"Let's go" she said, seeing the elevator doors close, and part of her former life being left behind alongside it.
Inko pressed a single button and the odd sensation of the elevator going upwards was felt by the trio who only looked at the numbers in the elevator changing, indicating the floor they were now, that and the odd music that came along.
"…I like the sound" Eri said suddenly.
"Eh" Inko said, honestly she had heard better, "One we get home I can show you some better music" she added.
"Mum, no" Izuku said.
"Izuku don't start"
"You're not infecting her with…that"
"It is music"
"Eri don't listen to mom, once we get home I'll introduce you to some real music" Izuku boasted.
"Dear, game soundtracks and movie soundtracks don't count as music"
"Oh really? I happen to recall Celine Dion and Titanic, a movie soundtrack you love"
"…I'm still introducing her to J-pop"
"Mom no"
"Mom yes"
Eri actually let out a snort, then blinked at that, so did the family of mother and son.
"…What was that?" Eri wondered.
"That, Eri-chan, is your first step on how to laugh and smile" Inko said with a kind smile, Izuku smiled as well, ruffling Eri's hair, then he looked again at the changing number sin the elevator.
"Mom" Izuku began, getting the attention of his mother, "Behind me, Eri-chan, get behind mom" the little girl nodded, and his mother did the same.
"What's the plan?" Inko asked.
"Same plan, anything in our way gets broken" Izuku said, Arc Energy arching on his body.
"Good enough for me, Eri-chan, keep close" the little girl nodded.
Then the elevator stopped, Inko rose her gun onward, Eri bit her lip in anticipation, expecting to see Overhaul once the doors opened, Izuku's ethereal arms glowed with the concentrated Arc Energy in them, his fists doing the same and his Siren Tattoos glowing bluer that before.
DING!!
Then the doors opened-
"AAAHHH" and they were welcomed with chaos, teens flying left and right, Quirks going off, fire, and screams of pain-
"YOU ARE MISGUIDED!"
"Holy shit" Izuku swore and Inko tensed, they recognized the voice anywhere.
"ALLOW ME TO RECTIFY YOUR MISTAKES!"
"All-Might" Izuku breathed, turning to his mother, a smile on his face, Inko actually had a look of disbelief on her face, "All-Might is here" Izuku said.
"SURPRISE BITCHES! CRESCENT BOOM!"
BOOM!!
The room shook with the boisterous voice of Mirko, alongside the agony of whoever was at the range of her arguable, weakest attack, but the flashiest and the one less likely to kill someone.
"Mirko, the rabbit hero" Izuku hissed in surprise, seeing from their point of view the form of the rabbit heroine-
Then more heroes began to pour into the chaos All-Might…was that Lemillion-san?
"PPOOOWEEEERRRR!"
And why he was imagining right now in an Old Spice commercial?
BOOM!!!
Another explosion, this time high in the rafters, and Izuku and Inko realized how bad the situation had been perceived when they saw the military roll in with the police and the heroes, this was nearly unheard off, Izuku could literally count with one hand the number of times this had occurred in the world, four times.
"MOVE! MOVE NEUTRALIZE THEM!" a soldier screamed, suddenly hitting a teen with the butt of his rifle, then another soldier using his Quirk on a group of rushing and really angry teens.
The term right now was controlled chaos, Quirks going off and screams of pain and rage-
"TAKE THOSE FUCKERS DOWN! KILL ALL-MIGHT NOW!!"
But one voice stood out the most in this chaos.
"Bee" Izuku hissed, fist clenching in anticipation to break the girl's face and legs, but he restrained himself, looking around he spotted a bigger target.
"Mom, on our left, up, see what I'm seeing?" Inko looked where her son was looking, and her eyes narrowed.
There, running away and with an escort Izuku recognized as students of his former school and what Inko assumed where two Tyrants, Principal Honda looked at the chaos around him in anger and fear, never noticing that Izuku and Inko were following his movements.
"Honda" Inko hissed, looking at the retreating principal, then looked at her son, "Izuku dear…let's break him"
Izuku wasn't a vindicated person that enjoyed the pain from others.
But this…oh this puts a smile on his face.
"Mom, Eri-chan, hold on to me, we're gonna blink" he declared as he held both hands onward, then yanked them to him.
Principal Heihachi Honda continued to move away with his entourage, it angered him that when all seemed to go well, then all hell broke loose when the lights went out, and when the emergency generators kicked in, who was waiting back in the light.
All-Might, who pulled a freaking slasher move and appeared out of the ether and started to wail on everyone.
Then another hero dropped in, and did the same.
The things started to blow up outside, and the teens, fucking teens started to fuck things up by using their Quirks in panic, didn't they know that no one their age could take on fucking All-Might, they were wet between the ears, they really didn't knew how to fight, most of them were thugs, not even close to become villains, just a bunch of animals bidding to become something that they are not.
He was really looking forward to see that brat die alongside his mother and the other kid, call him a sadist, he is one, he hates the brat, simple as that, he simply hates him, hates his mother, hates his family, in fact he hates him because of what he stands for.
To be determined, even in adversity.
In this world you have a place, you either accept it or you will be broken, Izuku Midoriya didn't accept his position as a fuck up, so it fell to others to break him into that role, just that he kept resisting, kept fighting back with that silly thing called hope and determination.
He should-
BAMM!!
The sound of rushing wind and two of his guards flying to a wall made him and the others turn around, and his blood ran cold.
Izuku Midoriya had simply…appeared, six ethereal arms that cracked with electricity behind him, coated in what seemed a rainbow colored scaly armor that pulsed with power and breathing hard, so hard the area around him was rattling with each intake and exhale of breath.
Then he saw his mother behind him, armed, and really pissed, and her early promise reared its ugly head.
Then he saw the little child, and by some reason he felt fear, maybe because her horn, once white was caked with grime and he assumed was the blood one of the BOW's and the horrible realization the child gored one of the BOW's to death reared its ugly head too.
"Hello Principal" Izuku spoke, each arm pulsing with energy, "…I didn't appreciate you raping my mind and insulting my family" he added, taking a single step forward.
The first Tyrant made its move, recognizing Izuku as a target-
Then it staggered as blood came out of its mouth, then it opened it up and teeth simply flew out of the mouth, as it staggered by the sudden damage.
Honda had little time to wonder who did that when Inko was already in front of the Tyrant, jamming her gun at the creature's open mouth-
The next thing he knows it's that the back of the Tyrant's skull its blown open and brain matter its hitting his face, making him recoil in shock.
The second tries to move, only for Izuku to be already in front of the creature, a brutal punch to the gut lifts the BOW off its feet, and the six arms seize the head of the still flying creature.
With a growl Izuku commands his ethereal arms, and with a flex of energy, the Tyrant's skull simply caves in under the pressure, the sound of cracked bones making his last two bodyguards to actually fall on their butts and try to look as less intimidating as they can against the kid and woman who just mutilated two BOW's of high end production.
Honda for his part snarl, and lifts his hand, ready to use his Quirk on Izuku on Inko-
Then pain.
He lets out a yowl of pain as he falls to the ground, clutching his right knee in pain, looking up he sees the little girl with red eyes and white hair, her horn now has blood, his blood, it doesn't take a genius to figure out what she did.
She gored his kneecap.
"You little bitch" Honda snarled, ready to reach and strangle the little girl that dared to attack him, in fact he was about to-
If his arms weren't suddenly bind to his sides by some unseen force-
"Language" he heard someone from behind him.
"Oh my, Best Jeanist" Honda heard Izuku say in shock and awe, this he hated, he hated heroes, he hated heroes worshippers like Izuku, he hated them all for believing in hope, there was none in this trash world that deserved to be burned to cinders and everyone's innocence to be raped to death.
"Oh, you must be Izuku Midoriya, his mother Inko, lovely lady, and who's the brave little girl at your side? We didn't get pictures of her" Best jeanist, fourth on the Hero ranking stated, his hands held onward as part of his suit simply unraveled for him to use his Quirk.
"…Someone braver than me" Izuku said, ruffling Eri's hair, making her cheeks feel hot…what was this feeling…was this…embarrassment?
"Mighty declaration" Best Jeanist said, looking at the other bodyguards, two conscious and bounded, two unconscious, probably will need teeth reconstruction by the looks of it and really unconscious, also bound, he can't take risks, two dead BOW's, and a fat man that apparently is the principal of Aldera High, wonderful, this night has proven to mighty beneficial to the safety of the people.
Izuku slightly smiled, then looked back at the ring, where All-Might and Lemillion continued their fight, thinning the numbers of aggressors, more heroes began to pour in, police and soldiers were binding and taking away those that were unable to fight or had surrendered at the first sing of conflict.
Then he saw Bee, she continued to fight, trying to hit Lemillion while he took on two more, those two cronies of Bee, oh he had some scores to settle.
"Mom" Izuku began.
"Don't worry, go" with that said he held his hand onward, and yanked.
Best Jeanist had a first seat view of how a person blinks away, only to reappear in the center of the ring, "What is he doing?" he wondered, directing his gaze to Inko who simply advanced at the downed principal.
"Settling some scores, like I am" she said, turning her gun and aiming the butt of the machinegun towards Honda, "Remember when I said I was going to tear your heart trough your throat?" Honda sneered.
"I lied, I settle with making you eat all your teeth!" and she proceeded to do just that, all while Best Jeanist debated himself on the morality of revenge and getting in the way of an angry mother that was armed.
He stopped her after the tenth blow, just because she caved the man's jaw.
Mamoru held her hand onward, taking the air of another soldier, then punched the man, making him stumble as he aimed his Quirk at an advancing hero, this one looking like a Spartan soldier, doing the same but this time kicking him away of him, Nakahiro and Bee.
He had repeated this ever since this mess began, even doing it against All-Might, but having little effect, the man shrugged it off, only another dumbass getting in the way of the punch of the number one hero and his face saved him from being in a coma.
But this was getting them nowhere-
SWUSH!!
"Mamoru!" Mamoru's blood ran cold as he turned in panic, spotting Izuku just inches from him, without an issue he took every inch of air of Izuku's lungs-
But not before he seized him with his…extra arms?
BAMM!!
And now he was the one losing air as Izuku punched him in the gut so hard he lost control over his Quirk, he was lifted into the air, but the arms still held him-
BAMM!!
And he was promptly slammed face first with the strength of ten men, he lost his frontal teeth, his nose got caved and he knew no more but after three days later when he woke up of his coma, in Quirk Suppressing cuffs, in a hospital and without his teeth.
With a snarl Izuku released the now unconscious Mamoru, focusing on his second target, the one fighting Lemillion, Nakahiro.
Lemillion saw him come, Nakahiro didn't, which explains why he was so startled when he grabbed him by the shoulders, turned him around and gave him a Light infused Head-butt that knocked all his teeth and launched him towards All-Might and the fighting Bee, who could only watch in shock as her underling flew away.
As for Bee, she saw Death.
"BEE!" Izuku roared, his voice actually drowning everyone else's, and making some stop, many of those Aldera students that were now really regretting treating Izuku bad, they just had set off a bomb off.
"I'm going to break your legs like twigs!" Izuku snarled as he was enveloped in fire, Bee, not even thinking it twice launched herself using her Quirk, this time she wasn't going to half-ass it, she was going for the head-
Her right leg burned and twisted, the sudden and violent change of direction registering after the pain in her right leg, but she still had her left, so she lashed with that one-
Which got seized immediately by the extra arms of Izuku, only now noticing the small hammer on fire his right hand, the hammer which he used to break her right leg.
Cold settled on her stomach when he saw him, his glare at her.
"You can't use your Quirk if you can't find purchase, for that to happen your legs have to be in perfect shape" he snapped as he rose his hammer.
"YOUNG ONE NO!"
"Young one yes!" and he brought the hammer down on Bee's knee.
Her scream made the rest teens to stop fighting altogether, too spooked to try anything after that, even more when he slammed her down, face first, and her screams were drowned by the ground.
Izuku by that point was panting and looking rather angry, seeing finally those who had seen him die for their entertainment, to see him and his mother die for their amusement, he recognized several as students of Aldera, and he snarled.
"Well!" Izuku snapped, his voice making the room vibrate.
"ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!?" his scream took whatever fight they had left.
They weren't entertained.
At all.
The night was cold, All-Might mussed, not as cold as before, maybe because of the fight he felt warm, the adrenaline and the rush of blood warming him, but also it reminded him of his wound and age, to be perfectly fair, he had just noticed, considering he had pretty much rested for over a week, it was to be expected, his body had taken quite some time to heal on its own without him buffing in and out and putting stress to his body.
There was also a small sense of bitterness in the air, not on everyone else, but on him, everyone else was on a cheery mood, they had just dismantled a huge Troupe operation, decapitated several gangs, captured several most wanted in the country, all in a single stroke.
Yet some had escaped, like the arsonist Dabi, he had seen him escape once the fight had broken out, and had tried to cut his escape, but then the bastard went and burned several teens to cover his escape, All-Might, between fighting had put the fires on their bodies, but blue fire burn incredibly hot and incredibly fast, so it was no surprise they had gained third degree burns with barely seconds of exposure, they would recover, but would surely have sequels of the attack.
Maybe he felt cold because a kid, pretty much the kidnapped kid and his mother pretty much went on a rampage, and he crippled another kid, in front of him.
True the mother did the same with the principal, but the fact remained, it happened in front of him, he allowed it to happen.
Yet a part of his mind was right now calling him a hypocrite, considering what he did five years ago and what led him to the state he is known, the only difference between him and the kid was that the kid pretty much assured himself to not have nasty surprises, he neutralized the girl's Quirk, brutally too, and knocked her out, he ensured that she would not try anything.
If only he had done the same with All for One, he might not have a hole in his side.
The outside of the coliseum was packed with ambulances, detention vans and cop cars, also military vans, they were carrying the captured first to the police stations in the city, for profiling, then they would be moved to detention centers, their crimes were many, and assault on a hero was a minor offense compared to attempt at murder at an officer of the law, no matter it he was a soldier, a police officer or a hero, it was bad, many of them would spend some long years behind bars, their rap sheets were lengthy, and made him feel sick, the Troupe had really corrupted them and nurtured a wicked nature in them, he felt like he had failed, many of these kids were really angry at them, at the heroes, at the police, at anything really, they were cursing, kicking, biting, saying that this world was fucked up and the Troupe would fix it, that villains were misunderstood heroes.
"That's a new one" he mused as he spotted Naosama, the detective gave him a small nod as he continued to make rounds and round up any straggler, apparently the Midoriyas had left someone in the basement, to Nighteye's surprise, a Yakuza, according to the family, who was actually looking for the girl that they now protected, and had crippled the principal with her horn, a very sharp horn he might add, that thing went through bone and cartilage like nothing.
'This has been a bountiful night' he heard Nighteye boast with a small smile, on paper it was, it went by the book, mostly because the Midoriyas raised hell on the basement and killed every single BOW that crossed them, the forensic team underground was still trying to pick up the pieces of those that weren't…too torn, but the disconcerting part was the amount of BOW's, this could had ended really different if the Midoriyas hadn't broke out.
Now, after this, came the hard part, explain it to the media, because inevitably they would learn of this operation, they always do, they would butt their noses and try to sensationalize it, he knows that this is something not all media do, but those that do it make more problems to them than the actual criminals.
Then also was the fact to inform the families of the captured, nearly all were minors, so by law they were obligated to do so, now that was going to get ugly, fast, especially considering several were attached to other cases, cases that were on the verge of being dropped out for lack of evidence, this mess was going to make those cases on those kids even worse.
He noted Endeavor around, talking with his sidekicks, directing them to escort several of the vans and ensure their safety, he knew just as well as All-Might this would not go unpunished.
The Troupe would retaliate, especially with the last bit of info the Midoriyas told them before they were taken to a hospital alongside the little girl that refused to leave their side (the paperwork for that was going to be a murder)
A T-Doll had been present, a T-Doll that had escaped, and according to them via teleportation and had been the cause of the blackout on the coliseum.
This was not the first time All-Might dealt with a T-Doll of the Troupe, so why he felt so uneasy?
Was it because of the Troupe and their retaliation?
He really hoped not, for the Troupe rarely distinguished between targets, collateral damage to them was acceptable, civilians were just another target for them to attack.
