9.0 - HACK - CHERREADS

CHAPTER 9: LOOMING DREAD

Day 28, morning…

"I'm going to kill him" Aizawa muttered tiredly, looking at the distance and the mountain range that made up some of the territory the Pussycats used for their more advanced training, live rescue, without Quirks.

"Not unless you want his mother to disembowel you" Pixie-Bob stated at his side.

"Sweet release"

"You do realize Eri just learned to turn her Quirk on and off, right?" Tiger reminded, making Aizawa's 'dream' of eternal slumber to die as fast as it came.

"Besides, why you want to kill-oh" Pixie-Bob suddenly said, looking at the direction Aizawa was looking, and realizing why he wanted to commit murder.

"…Say, do we have a spare costume in green lying somewhere?"

"Ryuko, no" Tiger stated, only to meet his teammate disbelieving look.

"Aerial support and extraction Yawara, think about it" she stated with a grin.

"Tomoko-chan covers one, and the rescue teams we work with have their own fleet of choppers" he reminded.

"And hard to get areas we can't get in without choppers, how many times you had to muscle your way in in places you could have gotten in you knew how to fly?" Yawara looked somewhat conflicted, all while Ryuko grinded, "Think, no more calling choppers for extractions, no stressing the rescue teams below in the case of a rogue draft of air hitting the chopper or anything, he'll be invaluable, just like Hawks, just if the dammed association didn't sink their teeth in him we would had an aerial rescue specialist instead of a crime fighter!" Ryuko hissed in somewhat frustration.

Aizawa just kept his gaze up-front, seeing a small form zip around the air, two set of wings, one on fire, the other somewhat transparent, allowing him the ability to fly, or glide, honestly at this point he has given up on making head an tails of things once Glyphs were involved.

Once he had gotten the art down, and was able to replicate the Glyphs of the game he acquired the powers from, he had begun to work on something more practical, agility enhancement and proper weapons to literally tip the field of combat in his favor.

As if having weapons created of fundamental forces wasn't enough, but Aizawa understood his reasoning on this one.

His Supers should remain as they were in-game, his ace in the hole, as they were incredibly powerful and destructive, he had seen what each one could do, despite them being able to violate every know law of everything, Aizawa understood his reasoning, as well the other reason behind it.

His supers could kill someone, really bad, the Golden Gun, the Nova Bomb and Nova Warp, Chaos Reach, Knife Barrage and the Thunder Crash were all lethal, no amount of toning it down helped, while the others he was able to tone down their power, and in the case of the Fists of Havoc, basically channel them in his limbs to increase striking force and add a 'small' jolt to stun his target, even the Sentinel Shield was toned down, hell as long as he doesn't put too much into them the Hammer Of Sol and the Siege Hammer are non-lethal, or as non-lethal a flaming blunt object can get.

But it limited him, so much that even before the incident with the Troupe he had realized of this and actively sought an alternative, the Glyphs were his answer, create weapons that were non-lethal-ish, and use elemental options to dissuade and infuse into said weapons, alongside support options to himself.

Aizawa knew this, and if he did, problem child must have even before the problem became apparent.

Rubbing his head in annoyance, he turned away, leaving both members of the team to discuss on their own.

Right now there was a bed with his name on it, and Mandalay and Ragdoll were in training duty.

He wasn't the guy to shy away of his duties, illogical and irresponsible, but Inko had pretty much bullied him into taking some rest and shut-eye, she herself told him so and the reasoning behind it.

You never know when you'll be able to rest properly, so when given the chance, take it.

So he did.

Physics stopped applying to him the moment he understood his Quirk, or at the very least understood the mechanics of it.

Guardians could not fly in the sense other beings could, the closest example of a Guardian flying by their own means was the Dawnblade Warlock, and that was incredibly limited to gameplay, and some lore entries, Warlocks in general could float by their own means, and the Dawnblade Warlocks could actually stay still in-midair, what he was doing now, was probably something Osiris or Ikora could do themselves, probably, there was no evidence of it.

Of course there was the second set of wings, Volaticus, using the last remains of metal he fashioned a small plate on the back of his pants, near the belt, and after some testing he made the Glyph, while the Dawnblade wings provided gliding and stability, with some very limited mobility, with the exception of Icarus Dash, Volaticus resolved an issue with the Dawnblade wings, propulsion, using it allowed mobility only Quirk users with fly Quirks could use.

Right now he was living the dream, but he was being careful, one doesn't simply fly and be good about it, he had at least crashed three times, two on trying to land, one on a tree, after that he had resorted to fly slow and low, learning the kinks of flying, all while Mandalay and Ragdoll watched nearby.

"…Think about it Shino-chan, aerial support"

"Tomoko-chan no"

"Tomoko-chan yes, think it, aerial support and healing"

"…No, first off he needs to graduate"

"Three years, big whoop, we get the time to actually get the uniform set and a name, I'm thinking Bobcat"

Mandalay, or Shino simply rubbed her nose bridge with her hands, while the idea had merit, the fact remained, fans would not like having a fifth member, even if it was a young one, marketing was going to be a nightmare, as now it would include a fifth member and also there was the obvious fact the kid would be a different kind of hero, that and his mother might not approve him being dressed as a cat maid, and the tattoos, she is sure as hell the mother association would try to end them, as they tried to end Midnight, and many heroines with suggestive costumes.

Sighing, Shino saw Izuku land, actually doing it on all fours, then slowly standing up, there she saw how he was dressed.

There was nothing abnormal on the way he was dressed, the T-Shirt he had on was light blue, with the words 'T-Shirt' on it, beige cargo pants and those red sneakers that seemed to be indestructible, they had taken the transformation into rabbit form without tearing, unlike the rest of his clothes that got stretched beyond any point of repair, he would need to get mutant friendly clothes.

Then there was the new addition to his attire, two leather bracers, part of Tomoko's old, very old costume, and by old she means it, those bracers were part of her first year costume, back in her day as a student, and about the only thing that had survived second, third year and her first year as a pro before a nasty rescue operation gone wrong (thanks to a rogue villain wanting to rack some hero kills) saw the end of her first pro hero costume, the bracers had survived, but she had retired them once she joined the team after that event and used their first costume before switching to their cat maid costume.

He had given them a new use (after crying like a metric ton of water and thanking Tomoko a thousand times over) he had started fixing them and adding the metal bracelets he had forged, with a liberal use of Hammer Of Sol of course, then began to craft the Glyphs in each one of the bracelets, two on each bracer, a weapon Glyph in the innermost bracelet, closest to the wrist, and two elemental Glyphs on the outermost bracelet, he took more time on those due to what he was doing.

She knew the craft hammer was placed on the right bracelet, while the left bracelet had something else, something she found odd, another 'original' Glyph, one that actually made some and no sense.

It was a spear, in a sense, heavily ornamented, and, like the haft of it was only able to fit a hand and a half, it looked more like a dagger if she was honest.

He called it the Spear of Leonidas, or the Blade of Leonidas.

Apparently it wasn't for show, as the spear was supposed to be used by the Spartan king as his main weapon and died with it during Thermopylae.

Of course it was a game weapon, and in-game it had supernatural powers, giving its user abilities far beyond a normal person abilities, it didn't help it was set up in the Greek era, so everyone thought your character was a demigod.

Of course there was an issue with the Glyph of that particular weapon, he could not mimic its powers, he could make it, make it even as sharp as the one in-game, but the powers were apparently out of his ability to replicate, a limitation of the Glyphs themselves, that didn't mean the weapon didn't had its uses, alongside the new elemental Glyphs.

Another thing he had learned, he could use the Glyphs he had in his hands, in any hands, not limited by placement, it wasn't just limited by the weapon Glyphs, but also elemental Glyphs as well, as long he had them in his person he could use them with ease, it played well enough with Hax's ability break the predetermined rules of the power in question, in-game, Glyphs could only be used on one hand each, Hax outright destroyed that original rule, but still demanded the energy draw and the Glyphs in question to be used.

Shino slowly shook her head, approaching Izuku, "So…any changes, more draw of power?" she asked.

Izuku shook his head, "No, my Icarus Wings work fine for take-off and stabilization, and their draw of energy is nigh non-existent, its Volaticus that draws energy, at the least it is when its summoned, like the weapons, so once summoned and sustained, it won't draw energy, but still it can be dangerous if I'm not careful and paying attention" Izuku replied.

"I see" Shino replied, "For the moment don't try to fly too much, glide to get a hold of it, flying isn't exactly something we can do with ease, or born with the body to, so take it slow, learn to glide with Icarus Wings, then the same with Volaticus, until then don't try to use them both unless is really necessary" she stated with a small smile.

"Yeah" Izuku whispered, looking ahead, something was bothering him, and Tomoko noticed.

"Hey, kitten, what's up?" she wondered, being the happiest member of the team didn't mean she was a scatterbrain as the media painted her, it was an image she cultivated for others to fall into and be able to slip pass and observed others with ease.

"…Just" Izuku began, taking a deep breath, then turning to the two pro heroes and bowing, "Thank you…for everything"

That caught bot heroines off-guard, "Uh…don't worry about it, we do this every time" Shino stated with a small smile.

Izuku simply shook his head, "Is not that" he said, "Ten years" Izuku said, "For ten years I spend my life…without someone that cared enough to focus time an effort in me, see?" both women blinked, once, twice, then the statement sunk in.

"Oh" Both said at the same time, now getting it.

"Mom cared because she is mom, and honestly I have no idea if my dad cared enough, I barely remember his face, I didn't look much at the family albums, and teachers back in school, either by design or actual want, but most tended to brush past me, I never showed it, but it hurt" Izuku said, "And I think that even if I showed my Quirk before the disaster with Bee, things would remain the same, because they would only see…deku" Izuku confessed.

It had been eating him for a time, the feeling of knowing that someone cared enough to dedicate time for his teaching and actually ask if he was okay afterwards, he honestly never had that with the teachers on Aldera, or before, and had taken a time to realize that the Pussycats and Aizawa, while committed to his teaching by design and need, in the end, cared about him, his mother and Eri to actually do this without complaining, aside Aizawa complaining about him breaking logic like Bane broke Batman, but that was aside the point.

"So…thank you…for everything, I know you do this because of circumstances, but thank you, it truly matters" Izuku said.

Shino simply sighed, walking to the greenete and placing a hand on his shoulders, "…Hey, no need to thanks us, first of all, is our job, second, you're a devoted student, those teachers of yours missed out on talent just to harken on someone with a flashy Quirk" she stated, "Third, I want to punch your teachers now, like really how unprofessional, no wonder that school is a cesspool of villains, I only need to see the teachers to know how their students will turn out, honestly, I'm glad you got out of that mess" Shino replied with a smile.

"Yeah!" Tomoko suddenly pipped in, "Don't act so gloomy! You are fine! Your family is fine! Your enemies tend not to be fine after crossing you but you get my point" she said with a grin, one that softened, "I get it, we get it, telepathy and a sonar Quirk, to the world today, might as well be Quirkless to several people, trust me, I get were you're getting at" she said, "Heck, I even did the exact same thing to my teachers back in the day, bowed and everything, because for the first time I had someone that trusted me, that believed in me" she added, "So chin up, when this mess blows over, you'll show everyone that thought you would do nothing how wrong they were"

Izuku could not contain it, he simply sniffed and bowed his head, trying to hide the tears, "Still" he whispered, "Thank you…for believing" he said.

"Anytime" Shino said, patting his shoulder, "Now how about we go to the compound, you did promise Eri-chan and Kota-Kun something⁓" there Izuku chuckled.

"Yes, yes I did"

BOOM!!!

Three Nemesis rushed the hall, each step of the creatures made lesser men shake on their boots.

Not him.

"TEXAS SMASH!"

BAMM!!

SPLAT!!

Three Nemesis torsos stopped existing, their innards going 'splat' on the wall behind them as the heads and arms flew away.

All-Might scowled, these things were starting to annoy him greatly, not by appearance, but by sheer resilience, their bones were reinforced to tank blows most humans would not be able to without crumpling in pain, their muscles were reinforced as well, and those tentacles that sprouted out were also meshed into the muscles, adding extra strength and toughness.

Didn't mean much to him, One For All had grown so overpowered that most BOW's he faced had to be specifically tailored to face him directly, and fashioned to tank violent blows on focalized areas, something like that hasn't been made by the Troupe, the T-Dolls were about the only thing that approached that description, in the way they were made and the material used in their construction, but again, against One For All, might as well be built out of glass.

Ducking away he uppercutted the form of a Licker, this one going splat on the ceiling and getting stuck there, blurring out of sight, he appeared on the other end of the hall, three GOLEM's now had their heads embedded on the walls and he was holding the lead scientist of this facility by the neck after he tried to escape.

"You're going nowhere, you know why? Because I AM HERE!" All-Might declared, not three seconds later he heard the pounding of boots, not looking back he knew to who those boots belonged to.

The SWAT team send with him and the rest of heroes to clear yet another Troupe location, the last in Musutafu, he had been busy, really busy dismantling their organization base by base.

"Let me go you fucking oaf! I'll slit your throat!" the scientist demanded, "You fucker! We are saving this world from stagnation!"

"And I'm saving the world from people like you" All-Might declared, moving a little so one of the officers clapped the irons on the scientists wrists, "You all had done enough damage for a lifetime, so you will spend a lifetime reflecting on your mistakes" the symbol of peace declared.

"We will not be denied, you will be hanged! And your corpse will be used to further the goals of our leaders!" the scientist declared, only to cry in pain when a SWAT officer slammed the butt of his machinegun on his face as he was led away.

"Keep talking, every word is just another year in jail" one of the declared with a smirk under his mask as he led the raving scientist away.

"YOU CAN'T PROTECT THIS WORLD ANYMORE! WE WILL BURN IT ALL AND RISE OF THE ASHES! CLEANSED OF YOUR FILTH!"

All-Might simply glared the raving scientist away, subtly cracking his fingers together, then turning around and walking away, deeper into the hidden base.

Musutafu had over forty bases, all over the city, ranging from actual houses with basements hidden and networked to other houses in the neighborhood, creating a small safe haven for these people and areas to deploy the BOW's within the city with impunity, to actual warehouses that had hidden laboratories underground.

This was the latter, to make it worse, it was a warehouse that acted also as a shipyard, they had found several fastboats docked, two in fact, one smaller than the other, the second looked more like a small cargo ship, with a cargo hold that was modified to carry something, it looked like for a BOW, of what kind he could not tell, the files here would reveal that.

Advancing the halls, his eyes narrowed as more and more officers and heroes of other agencies pulled from several rooms, some with scientists and collaborators of the Troupe in handcuffs, others nursing wounds, in those rooms All-Might would give a small glance, and see the cadavers of the BOW's housed there, the majority were not as brutalized as young Midoriya had left his back at the Coliseum, a stark difference, considering that the boy was young and had little to no training, so his main resource of combat was 'rip and tear' unlike heroes more medical strikes, go for precise areas, disable and not leave a damn bloodbath behind.

The BOW corpses showed this, some had broken necks, other were missing their heads, others had massive gaping holes in their chests, but every single one of them was taken down in a hit, a surgical hit aimed at their weak points, he knew Young Midoriya did the same, just that he went a little overboard…okay he went medieval, they are still trying to clean the blood from the floor in the underground of the Coliseum, afraid that their blood might be a vector for a pathogen or something, with these things you can't be too certain.

As he kept walking he brushed past Best Jeanist, the fourth ranked hero giving him a nod as he walked at his side, meeting his pace with his own, "This entire time…I patrolled here when I was on my second year alongside Masamune-sensei" he stated with a clipped tone.

"I know…there was a base near Dagobah beach, an observation post passing as a house" All-Might stated, he had been entertaining the idea of using the beach/scrapyard to train Young Togata and eventually Young Midoriya in some hero morals, but the idea that the Troupe had the area infiltrated, even by chance, made him wary.

"Maybe when this is all over" he thought as he walked alongside his fellow hero to the control center of the base.

Once inside, All-Might let out a small smile, the area was pristine, well as pristine as it could be, the main console, a massive computer with five CPU towers tied one to the other and connected to 10 monitors 50 inches each gave it a massive look, that and the three seats that were placed for control and three keyboards, they were obviously a control base, it was small, but the amount of BOW's present, and T-Doll parts and armament that was pilled in several rooms and was brand new gave him the impression that they were preparing for something, and he didn't like it.

And as for the control room, he said the room was almost pristine, the massive, All-Might size hole on the ceiling once one of the heroes had found a structural weakness to allow entrance and a pincer attack was the evidence of All-Might less than subtle attempt at stealth and very demoralizing attack against the people within the room and halls, by the time the Troupe could mount…any kind of defense, the heroes were killing their BOW's, their scientists were looking for a way out, and All-Might was chasing the leading scientist of the base, the leader of the base per-se.

"Greetings!"

And the pair of people within the room, one standing guard, the other working on the computers, was the evidence on how serious they were taking the menace of the Troupe and infiltration…they had…requested help…from vigilantes.

"Gentle" the girl on the computer (he had to remind himself this was an adult) called, "Please don't interact with All-Might, I need all my focus on this, these encryptions are…insane" the short woman stated with a worried look, "And as much as I love you, I cannot work with TWO loudmouths around" she stated.

The Symbol of Peace and the 'villain' blinked, and he used the term villain loosely because the guy hasn't even killed anyone, wounded heroes yes, wounded their pride? Beyond shadow of a doubt, he made them look like idiots, and that, alongside his criminal record, which was surprisingly light compared to other criminals, was one of the reasons the association had…reached for them and other vigilantes that could aid them and reinforce their ranks…for a price of course, that price being varied.

Best Jeanist simply walked to the seat the woman was sitting and leaned in, "Anything interesting?" he asked.

"Aside from the paranoia I can see they having by just looking at their firewalls and the encryption on many files, I have found some interesting things" the short woman, known in the underground as La Brava, stated as she tapped some keys and brought a screen, "Some standard comparing them to other files in other sites, combat data of their numerous BOW's, interestingly they all have a separate combat file of their beasts against someone they call 'Leviathan' and they are surprisingly…bare" she said, not noting how All-Might stiffened, he knew who this 'Leviathan' was.

It was a codename for Izuku Midoriya.

"How bare my dear?" the Gentle Criminal, ever present with La Brava (and a teacup) asked, everyone noted the blush that dusted her cheeks.

"I would lie if I say these things have seen more than three combat sorties against this 'Leviathan' they all list one thing, failure, failure, utter failure, heck, I saw an autopsy of a Nemesis cadaver recovered from the Coliseum raid, according to them, the 'cadaver provided no insight on how to properly engage 'Leviathan' without resorting to Terminator Dolls and liberal use of BOW's without ensuring a severe if not outright complete loss of assets in engagement' this is repeated at least three times with the Licker and GOLEM files, and later on an encrypted file we found two bases ago, alongside the kill order he has…alongside his mother, codenamed 'Terminator' and a subject they call 'Cronos' I kid you not, the other kill orders fulfilled never had this level of secrecy, or codenames at all, I think they are legitimately afraid of Leviathan" La Brava stated.

All-Might blinked, the Troupe? Afraid? Considering the chain of events that has led to the dismantling of their organization in Musutafu, and being repeated nationwide, but on a smaller scale, until he and the other heroes can join…maybe La Brava's words had some truth in them.

"Leviathan?" Gentle wondered, "What an odd choice for a codename, I expected that would be All-Might's codename, you know, considering he is a biblical maelstrom against his opponents" he spoke, Best Jeanist shook his head alongside La Brava.

"Nope" both spoke at the same time, "All-Might's codename is 'Titan' kinda fitting considering the feats of strength, I mean Atlas holds the world on his back, alone, that kind of raw strength hasn't been seen before or after, same with All-Might" she said, "But at the matter at hand" she muttered, reaching for one of the computers, it was there that All-Might noted the mass-drive and the cable tied to one of the CPU towers.

"I'm downloading all the files, then we are de-encrypting them back at base, I don't feel comfortable doing this here" La Brava spoke, rubbing a hand on her shoulder, "This places…reeks of death"

"Then you know why they have to be stopped" Best Jeanist stated, seeing how La Brava unplugged the drive and handed it to him, "Yet, by some reason this doesn't make me feel…well" he added.

"You too?" Gentle spoke, an odd neutral look on his face that usually sported a more jovial look, "Maybe the city was saved…but I dare think we are not even done" he added with a side glance.

"Indeed" The Symbol Of Peace replied, "I trust you three will be fine on your own?" it wasn't that he didn't trusted Gentle, or La Brava, the month of constant raids, had forged a…kinship? Trust? It was something among the lines, he knew the price Gentle demanded for his cooperation, literally nuking La Brava's rap sheet to kingdom come, sparing her of any kind of repercussions of her activities and to be able to lead a life without looking from her shoulder.

If only he knew what she had asked for her complete and utter cooperation?

Jeanist knew, he had been present at that, and it kinda spoke volumes of how much they cared for one another.

"Then I'm off, still have to coordinate the assault on the Yakuza compound" All-Might knew this was a breach of protocol, but honestly, considering that the two would not even think about betrayal, after they had asked, and with Jeanist around? He felt safe enough to divulge that little tip.

"Bring a souvenir" La Brava spoke, "And by God don't say that again in a Troupe location, this placed was bugged, if I hadn't dealt with the bugs before you might had an issue with that raid" she added.

"…Uh…o-okay, I'm…uh, I'm off then" and with that he left, fast.

It didn't took a minute for him to be outside, seeing the vans of the police and how they loaded the many collaborators found in the base, each one glared at him, sneered and spat at his general direction.

He was tempted to flip them, but that would be unbecoming, so he just sniffed, and jumped away, leaving a small dust cloud in his wake.

Two 'small' kicks in the air, and he was already getting ready to land in Sir Nighteye's agency roof.

With a small thump, he Symbol Of Peace landed, a small smile graced his lips as he made his way to the entrance of the roof, opening the door he entered, and then closed it.

There, in the small room, waiting for him was Gran Torino, dressed as a civilian, with cane and all.

"Mission accomplished?" the oldest hero around, aside Recovery Girl asked.

With a poof of smoke, All-Might deflated, and Yagi stood in his place, "Halfway done, we still have the Yakuza" he said, some edge on his tone, "Some files were found, The Troupe had codenames on the Midoriyas, we still have work to be done" the deflated man stated as he began to lose several parts of his hero costume to change into something less heroic and more mundane.

Gran Torino snorted, "Of course, like a dammed hydra, cut one head and three grow instead" he added.

"No" Yagi said, "This time it won't, we will burn the stump, this time, the Hydra dies"

Omega stared at the screen in anger, but kept it to himself, this…dampened his mod after the good news he had received a day ago and made him more resolute.

"Site…44, has gone dark" one of the operators stated with a grim tone, "…Musutafu has been…captured" he added with spite as he tapped something on the keyboard, "I'm receiving confirmation on other sites across the nation…things are…not going our way" he finally confessed.

Omega didn't need to be said that to know the truth of those words.

Musutafu as a whole had forty-four sites scattered and placed when the takeover happened, but now…

Clenching his fists he focused his gaze on the map of Japan in general, and found himself angry.

Before the Coliseum raid happened, the map of Japan had over one hundred of their cities and towns marked in red, all over their prefectures, at least two major cities and three towns per prefecture, once the takeover happened, coordinated all over Asia, as expected, they would have emerged of the bases, basically flooding the streets and killing heroes and law enforcers alike, civilians would be rounded up and separated into camps, from there they would start attacking everything adjacent to the prefectures, taking over until Japan was theirs, same with the continent, the first large operation to take over the world and rid it of heroes and Quirks, only the enlightened would wield then…then Izuku Midoriya happened.

He wasn't joking, the boy had single handedly put a dammed wall in their plans, not a pebble, not a log, a dammed wall, by acting the way he did, he stalled the entire operation, and the fall of Musutafu had officially deadened the operation in Japan and Asia until the city could be retaken, which seemed to be a problem, as heroes had decided to throw everything at them, the only thing missing was the dammed kitchen sink.

Musutafu was the first city to fall, but honestly, it looked not to be the last, he had been receiving intermitting signals of other sites reporting attacks by the heroes and law enforcers, reinforced by vigilantes with meager rap-sheets and Quirks that aided them in either combat, or information gathering, which was the reason that Musutafu fell this fast, predictions showed that the city would hold for five months, even with All-Might leading the charges.

The oaf just led half of them, even still they got stomped in each attack, their servers completely taken, their BOW's destroyed, their collaborators captured, weapon caches lost, information taken, this had led to more attacks pretty much everywhere, there were scattered reports of Hawks leading the attacks on the Hiroshima prefecture, and Endeavor was doing his own on the Miyagi prefecture, and those were just two examples on the massive wave of attacks the heroes were leading against them.

At this rate they would lose half the cities they had in two months, and if continued without any kind of interference, in six months Japan would be…liberated of their influence.

Encrypting data didn't work, not even destroying it, as they attacked so fast to even try to do so, and they had some very nasty hackers on their side decrypting their data.

For the first time in their fifty years of activity and life, their compliancy had cost them, dearly, the Founders were not happy, so much that the takedown was…delayed until further notice, until all was in order, or something happened.

"…Sir?" One of the aides spoke to him, "I have…updates of one of our agents, his last report about two days ago…regarding Overhaul and his outfit" he spoke.

Omega felt a chill run on his spine, "Please tell me he choked on a dick and died, please"

"No sir, first his bitch is in jail, second, the report came late, mostly because of the state of affairs in Musutafu, we got it just an hour ago and decrypted it…he's gone"

Omega blinked.

"Come again?"

"He's gone, he and half of the Yakuza, every lieutenant on his command, he left just crooks on the compound…I think he knows where they are" he said with a wince.

Omega blinked again, and again.

"WWWHHHAAATTTTT!?"

Omega wrilled angrily, facing the scientist in anger, "Tell me this is a joke, tell me that someone just decided to fuck up, or he his drunk and saw things" Omega snarled. "Tell me it's a joke!"

"…No sir" the scientists shook his head, "We confirmed it with satellite and CCTV cameras, they moved yesterday and have been moving non-stop, trying to bridge the gap as fast as they can, but our calculations will put their arrival at the moment the operation begins, or at the very least one hour before or after, depending on your actions"

Omega swore under his mask, but he didn't paced around like a lunatic, he was planning, he had to, stewing on his rage was a bad idea, time lost, he needed to act logically on this one.

"ON one side we have the Midoriyas and the Wild, Wild Pussycats, a powerful Quirk user that wields Quantum fire and his mother is a former Spec-ops, if she never deployed, the Pussycats, despite being rescue focused are still professional heroes, trained and dangerous, and then there is the unknown factor on their side, the girl" he began thinking.

"Then we have the Yakuza, Overhaul has a powerful molecular Quirk, and he has on his command a modest armada of thugs with mid-tier Quirks and skill, what makes him dangerous is his supply of Quirk Erasing Drugs and he's unstable, he won't hesitate to kill or bring a mountain down if he had to just to get his way" Omega frowned under his mask.

"Then it's us, gonna have to deploy the enhanced Lickers and the Nemesis-α just to have an advantage, Durara has the shot, but we haven't even tested it, for all we know it will give him the shits, or burn a hole where he injects it, Shigaraki is…something, and we don't know nothing about the Nomus he plans to deploy, all this unknowns, dammit" he thought again.

"Where are the I sisters?" Omega asked.

"Hooked to the simulator, they are running combat simulations against the memories of M98, more specifically the memories against Leviathan" Omega narrowed his eyes, he wasn't the only one feeling the pressure, "The demolition team is also hooked, running drills to prepare for the eventual attack" Omega nodded at that.

"…good, we continue as planned" that caught the scientist off guard, "If we accelerate the plan we might be caught in disaster, but we are adding some more…oohmp for our side, activate the Nemesis-α, have it to fight and hunt Leviathan alongside Beta, the enhanced Lickers will have to do against the Yakuza and the rest"

"Yes sir, anything else?"

"No, continue on" Omega stated, turning around.

He and the scientists never noticed.

Never noticed her.

Fools. Idiots. Imbeciles.

They didn't realized. Never noticed her.

Never checked on her.

She hates them!

She envies them!

She hates him!

She hates the fire!

She loves the fire!

…

No one would understand, her sisters would not, they didn't saw it, the fire, the power, the liberating power.

But she could try.

They were seeing her memories, still hooked to her, watching, practicing, never knowing they weren't ready, no one would.

All she had to do was to reach a little and ENLIGHTEN THEM!!

Wild, Wild Pussycats compound, night…

Inko could not believe it.

She had GAINED weight!

Then again, she lost some fat, only the fat was replaced by muscle.

She flexed one arm, they looked…toned, not as the arms of the Pussycats, actually defined enough to see the outline of their muscles, but toned enough that if she flexed, it would show.

The fat of her stomach had begun to disappear too, but at a slower pace, she didn't want to have flabby skin so she continued to take it slow, and actually watch what she was eating.

Her legs were most dramatic change, they were toned, even more than before, well that and her stamina, in a month she recovered what she assumed was her stamina when she was in High School, it wasn't much of an improvement if she was being honest, but compared to how she was before, and how exhausted she became, it was obvious the change she had undergone, small as it may be, but it was there.

With a sigh she turned away of the mirror, leaving the room afterwards, clad in casual clothes, jeans and a black T-shirt, Inko made her way to the living room, there she spotted her son…

In his rabbit form, it still amazed her how…Izuku he looked, even after turning into a seven tall wererabbit.

For instance, the fur was green, indicative of his hair color, but she had to suppress a small giggle the first time she saw him in that form, okay the second time, the first time she tackled him into a sofa.

His fur was somewhat shaggy, more fluffy than the one of any normal rabbit, the fur on his head seemed to be fluffier than most, actually resembling his hair in his human form, and the tattoos on his left side became also fur, blue fur that glowed and were the exact look to the ones in his human form, every curve and intricate design was there.

Of course much of him changed when he transformed, his legs were that of a rabbit, a rabbit on steroids that is, his constant training and the fact he seemed not to tire during training had allowed to train him in a physical level that most kids his age would tap out, because of this his body had developed far more than usual, and that translated in his rabbit form.

She knew rabbits by design were fast and agile creatures, but their strength lay on their back legs, massive was a way to describe those legs, especially considering that in that form, he should reach top speed of at least 45 Km/h.

When tested, he doubled that speed and reached a top of a 100Km/h, and kept it for one hour of non-stop running, in that form, while not able to outrun a cheetah while chasing him, would be able to outlast it, and anything else really, any other living being would be unable to keep up with her son, not even Quirk users with speed Quirks could hope to keep up with her son, the only ones that could may be Mirko, Ingenium and All-Might, one was also part rabbit, and well trained, the other had exhaust pipes that allowed speed no human would be able to reach naturally and All-Might was recorded to reach speeds of 400Km/h and accelerating at that speed in less than a second.

At least according to her son, right now he sat at four place as the fastest human alive, and perhaps the number two in terms of keeping top speed without stopping, and the fact he didn't showed exhaustion after that feat was something that amazed her and the heroes.

Her son attributed that to a combination of The Light and Parasite Energy more passive abilities, abilities Aya wasn't recorded to have, but her son did, like ultra-conservation of energy and ultra-absorption of nutrients, he still needed to eat, but he seemed to need to drink more than usual.

That unforeseen, but welcomed side-effect was used by Aizawa to basically put her son on the wringer, at least in her eyes it was, the fact that by the end of the training he was barely exhausted, and as such his physical training was far more brutal than anything she had experienced in her time in the army, she knew her old drill sergeant would love to see her son and the fact he would run drills that would bring grown, trained men to hell while he would barely feel the burn.

The result was the physique of a boy that had spent five months doing just cardio, push-up and toning exercises, his legs showed that, his arms were toned as well, and he had lost a lot of he fat he had before, and he had a flat belly, with some packs in it!

She was kinda proud and right now felt the sudden urge to murder girls if they tried to reach for her sweet son (her sweet son that can vaporize/atomize/sublimate) and of course she was proud of herself in a way, she was recovering her old form, slowly, oh so slowly, but she was getting there.

But her greatest pride now was Eri, the little girl looked like a new person, compared to how she looked and acted before, true, from time to time she would shut down and act detached, but those episodes have been decreasing, to the point that you were lucky if one happened.

Inko knew that once everything was over, Eri would have to go to therapy, you simply don't come out of being an experiment without mental scars, worse scars than the ones on her arms and legs.

But that would have to wait, sadly, while professional help could not be reached due to the inherited risk the Troupe posed, having people that could help Eri in other things, helping her out of the shell Overhaul (Fucking dickhead) put in her, was something they could do.

Like now, she had her reservations about the friendship Eri had struck with Kota, but it was obvious that both needed it, one never had some sort of companionship period, the other was alone, constantly moving about because his aunt was on a hero team, as a result he had never time to form a friendship with someone his age.

Right now those two were bonding, actually acting as children of their age…

"So fluffy"

"So warm"

Both kids were perched on the back of her transformed son, pleased looks on their faces as they rubbed their cheeks on his fluffy ears, Eri went as far to slam her face on the fluff her son called hairstyle and stay there.

"I want to stay here FOREVAH!" her muffle cry of joy was still audibly to everyone around, who thankfully was just Inko.

Izuku for his part looked rather ashamed to be caught by his mother in such a position, "Mom, help, they don't want to let go" he stated.

"I wonder why" Inko teased, slightly enjoying how her son mannerism translated to his bunny form, he obviously could not blush, so his nose began to twitch around, giving it a cute look, his green eyes were darting around, nervously and he was tapping the ground rather fast and hard with one oversized foot, bare of his usual red sneakers.

He looked adorable, especially with both kids attached to his-

The room shook.

Izuku's ears, that at the moment had been slightly down, perked up, and so did he, his eyes darting around, ears twitching, as if looking for the reason the room shook-

It did so again, ten seconds later.

Inko instantly tensed up, picking both Kota and Eri with her Quirk and letting on the floor, she looked at her son as he powered down.

Again the room shook, ten second after the second shake, twenty after the first.

"…explosions" was all she muttered as she saw the Pussycats basically burst into the room, each dressed casually, but in panic.

"We got a situation"

Five minutes before, Raxus…

Black mist formed on one of the alleys of the small town, not big enough to consider a small city, yet small enough and retired enough of the main cities that it was called a town, and depended on its own industry to supply itself with its own materials.

Three T-Dolls emerged from the fog as this one closed as the last one stepped out, each one had a bag big enough for a grown man to carry, each bag contained six charges of military grade thermite, usually this kind of charges were small because they were used to sabotage cannons and tanks in places they could not be repaired with ease, their barrels, or in the case of tanks, the very insides.

However with the advent of Quirks came the downgrade of many military tactics and weapons, Thermite passed from being an acceptable answer to sabotage everything and cause mayhem, to simply being there.

The charges here were bigger than the norm, in a bag that big, twelve would fit instead of six, and that was indication enough of how much Thermite was packed in each container.

Each doll hefted their bags, and with uncaring looks began to move, speed not befitting their smaller forms, their skins began to shimmer, becoming see-trough.

Smaller T-Dolls, knows as 'Loli-dolls' because they resemble small girls, were not as strong as an average T-Doll, and had none of their weapons installed, they were made for espionage and sabotage, they were fragile, incredibly so, so much that actual firearms could hurt them, unlike other Dolls that could tank hits, their skeletons were also lighter, their muscles were weaker, but still they were stronger than a grown-up, their skin was weaker than a normal Doll, but was made of a special material that permitted active camouflage, it was not the same kind of camouflage that some Quirks used and perfected, but rather a refraction of the light, making them see-trough, the last advantage they had was an advanced suite of hacking tools at their disposal, their fingers could be detached to actually expose cables that could be hooked to any terminal to instantly hack it, there were little computers in the world that could keep its secrets once a 'Loli-doll' began its hacking process.

They were also the dolls with the highest death-ratio, usually in missions like this, only one doll would return, they were fragile, so much that explosions would destroy them, they were not made for combat.

Well there was X-99, but that was the exception.

Night was the best advantage they had, their active camouflage only worked well enough at night, daylight exposed them tremendously, for that reason alone night operations were their expertise.

It would also be the last-

O67 shook its head as the first Thermite charge was planted, near the school, one of the gas lines ran directly underneath, as the school had a small cafeteria for the students.

Sneering, O67 synched the charge with its internal systems, and once it was given the A-Okay, it moved, heading to the next destination, a bus station, it didn't took her that-

"Wait what?" O67 froze for a second, then continued moving, why…why she added that-

"Again?" O67 was panicking now, especially once her internal sensors showed that the second charge had been put and synched-dammit, why she was referring herself in such a way, she had no sex! She was an it! A thing, a robot!

O67 vision began to change, its HUD flicked several times, growing with static and several of its functions outright failing as the crisp vision changed to a flickering red-

"̛̲̖̭̠̫̦͍̊͛̋̅͒̈́̂͂͛͟͜ͅa̧̛͍͍̥͈̩͆͛̍͂̆̓̾̓ͅ m̢͓̜̙͈̱͔̬̥͐̌͒̌͒̚͟a͈̬̮͎͆̿͋͒͒̏͛͟͞n̶̖̞̙̜͙̊͑͂̕͢ c̷̰̻̤͚̝̀͛̆͐͟͟͠͝ͅḩ̡̺̤͓̱̠͍͒̑̃́͛̌͞͝ǒ̟̻͔̠̖̎͋͋̈́́̅̚͘ǫ̵̙̲̩̤̰̱͒̽͊͊ş̦̥̪̙̪̦͈̜́͌̿̃ė̛͈̗̳͖͓̯̯̠̲͚̿̊̀̊͊̓̚ş̸̭̳̮̯͉̝̙̳͙͑̎̅͂,̡̛̣̣͇͍͇̖͔̞͆́͗͑̆̓̿ a̷̟̝̮̮̿̽̈̒̋͢ s͖͕̮̭̻̔̄͒̇͐̚͟͠͝l̷̢̟̺͍̲̳̅̉͛̎̔̋ͅą̞̟̱͔̜̘̖̆̆̉̿́̉̀͘v̪͇̥̱͙̱̞͗̐̑̑͝ḙ̢̺̭͖͈̐̔͊̆̆͢͡͝ ō̸̢̨̡͉͍͙͎̣͈̅̈͛̚͜b͉̜͕̗̩̤͗̽͒̅̅̋̎̅͆͠e͇͈̟̖̥̞̥͔̾̋̍̄̚͡y̵̟̬͚̪͈̽̾͊̾̑͢s̷̨͎̮͕͊̾̽͗̆̕̕͢͝"̴͎̤̭͔̳̬͈̰̗̍̒̅̏̓̕͞

Wha-wha-why she heard the voice of Leviathan?

Her systems showed she had already synched two more charges.

Okay, now head to the hospi-

O67 blinked, this wasn't the hospital, this…underground…

The control systems for the gas lines.

Looking around O67 spotted a dead body, one of the operators, his neck twisted in an impossible angle-

The fifth charge was already placed, and if O67 sensors were right, it was on the very main lines of the town, underground.

Setting the charge there would blow more than a hospital.

"̧̻̖̩͇̱͍̹̾͞ͅd͍̬̻̬͚̭̊̒̇ͮ͌̾̓͒̕͠o̻͙͎̹̍̎͋̎̑ͩ̇ͪ ͎̳͈̰͎̋̾̓̄ͤͅi͔̲̜̋͌ͦ͌̂͢͝t̠̽"͓̘̙͋͛

O67 systems seized, as some…unknown order made her/it-stop!

The charges were activated now, the worse thing, her systems showed that the others haven't even finished planting the charges.

"No, we are tools for a higher purpose"

O67 systems seized, it was just as the very first charge went off that she realized than the main gas lines has been put on overdrive, pumping as much gas possible on them, by the time the next charge would ignite, the small, but devastating and calculated explosion would be a cataclysmic explosion that would blow a crater into the ground and set fires all along the area.

It was that revelation that kept O67 from realizing that the last charge was active, with just two seconds left on the timer.

"M98…What have you-"

O67, and by extension, about a hundred meters of terrain stopped existing as the Thermite ignited the gas, now over pressurized, and blew a hole on the ground so large and a fireball so large that it was seen from Tokyo.

The town shook as everything burned.

Just as she wanted it!

Izuku loaded another medkit on the truck the Pussycats had, a modified military SUV, outfitted by the Pussycats themselves for travestying harsh terrain and either plow through obstacles or bypass them.

The Iron Puma was its name, and honestly it had seen as much action as the Pussycats themselves, their way of transportation whenever available.

"Dammitdammitdammit" Izuku swore, "Malakas! Dammed those bein trice dammed! My hands to their throats!"

"Relax!" Pixie-Bob stated, adjusting her headgear, but honestly, she was as stressed and angry as Izuku was right now.

They had seen the fireball go off before the entire area shook, like shake for real, and the sound…

She wasn't looking forward for the mess in Raxus.

The fact that it happened too close made Izuku really paranoid, and if it made him paranoid, then it meant that he knew who had provoked the explosion.

The Troupe really were a miserable lot.

"Aizawa, the radio is already set with the police signal on Musutafu, by now they must be sending rescue teams to Raxus, but it will be hours before the first team arrives, we are first responders, you are in charge while we are out" the erasure hero nodded, right now Mandalay was in her element, and he was in his as well.

"Midoriya-san, Midoriya-kun" Both greenetes looked at Mandalay, "Keep an eye out, if what you suspect may be right, then you might have visitors" Mandalay growled, then looked at Izuku.

"Entertain them as you see fit" with that she went to Kota, kneeled and kissed his forehead, "We'll be back in the morning if possible, be good" the little boy nodded, hoping that this would not be the last time he would see his aunt.

"Okay Pussycats! To the Puma! We have a mission!" the four man team was already in movement, and by the time the last door closed, the Iron Puma was already speeding away, kicking gravel and dirt away.

Izuku sighed, but the feeling of dread he felt the moment the explosions happened didn't dissipate.

"LAAS YAH NIR!" he hissed, eyes instantly darting around as the full power of Aura Whisper washed over him.

"Anything?" Aizawa asked as Inko ushered Eri and Kota inside.

"Nothing" Izuku whirled around, just seeing the auras of the Pussycats disappear from his range of vision, long ago they had determined the range of Aura Whisper, and had determined that the shout was better used for in-door reconnaissance rather for outside recon.

"But that can change at any time" Izuku muttered as he headed inside, Aizawa mulled it was to prepare, as he didn't had his braces on.

The erasure hero simply sighed, going inside as well, standing outside would not help them, he also had to prepare, mainly mentally.

One thing was attacking an enemy, but knowing that there is an ambush coming didn't help much in openly fighting it off, anything could go wrong.

Shigaraki was told the explosions would be visible once they exited the portal alongside the party.

Apparently the term explosions here was being used loosely, as he could see a massive fire and the aftermath of the 'explosion' in question from where he was now.

He knew the Troupe liked to take things up a notch but this was ridiculous, from what he could see there was possibly no town left, and if there was one, it was pretty much a glorified crater that was on fire.

From his point of view, they had at most, an hour before heroes swarmed the area, and he doesn't mean like ten heroes, no he pretty much expects the top ten alongside the other ninety to come along, they no longer had unlimited time, they were on a timer.

"…You blew the gas lines, right?" Kurogiri wondered, and Shigaraki recognized his tone of voice, it was his 'I'm done with life' tone.

"A temporary setback" Durara said as he motioned the I sisters to take point, each doll moved in unison and jumped the cliff they deployed in, landing roughly and pulling their guns instantly, taking point.

"A setback it's a flat tire, a setback is a lack of controller, this is not a setback you nuked a town" Shigaraki stated, he was all about chaos, thing was sensei had pretty much said keep a fucking low profile, hell the Nomus behind him were keyed with warp-sludge in case they need to make a quick getaway.

"Again, a setback, it has provided our purpose" Durara motioned the Nemesis-α to follow suit, jumping off the cliff, its landing was rougher and with far more sound.

"Distractions, I could literally make something less flammable for a distraction than what you just pulled, heroes will come make no mistake, I give them an hour, and Sensei was clear with this, we cannot be seen, so congratulations, I'm not showing my face during your little raid, I'm loaning you my Nomus, but the moment you fuck up, we out, and by 'we' I mean me and my Nomus" Shigaraki stated, seeing several GOLEM move about, instead of jumping they moved around the path at a brisk pace.

Durara said nothing, just glared at the crazed villain, "Do as you wish, it makes no difference, you're just here as extra muscle, loaned strength, just as your master's own" Durara said as he walked away alongside the GOLEM's, two Lickers moving alongside him, flanking him at every moment, the other Doll, the Beta remained last, an unreadable expression on its face, then followed suit.

Shigaraki just saw him walk away, and gritted his teeth, "Times like this I wish I had a renegade prompt" he muttered.

"You mean the dick move, right?" Kurogiri muttered.

Shigaraki sighed, "Yes, the dick…move" there Shigaraki grinded, "Kurogiri, my friend, my smart friend, thanks for the idea"

"What idea?"

Shigaraki grinded under the hand he had for a mask, "The idea of ditching him the moment everything fails, that idea"

"That was the plan" Kurogiri stated politely.

"Yes, but in this modified plan, you open a warp under him, let him fall a little, then close it under his knees, while his severed legs fall over his head" Shigaraki stated.

"…That is a dick move" Kurogiri stated, looking at the horizon and seeing several car lights, Shigaraki noted this and actually frowned.

"Ugh, just our luck, fucking campers" he muttered, then got an idea, "Campers we can use to further our goals, Kurogiri, go and stalk them, and when you see some…relegates, warp them to the Doctor's lab" Shigaraki said, reaching for his pocket and pulled a flip cellphone, "I'm going to inform him about…an early birthday gift" he said with a cackle.

Kurogiri just looked at his charge, then nodded, making a warp gate and walking into it, "Oh, and if possible, save the leader of the campers and his lieutenants, would ya?" that stopped Kurogiri.

"Why?"

Shigaraki remained silent for a second, then turned to Kurogiri, "The Troupe has a massive hard-on on this kid, I want to see why, maybe, just maybe…he'll make a nice gift to Sensei"

Rappa is a simple man with simple tastes, he fights, he likes it, he hates weakness and weapons.

Also he knew they were walking into a trap.

He is no simple meathead, despite what other think about him and his single minded plans that involve the simple strategy of punching it till it drops, but he hasn't lived this long without not knowing when something might go wrong.

It was one of the reasons he was the champion of the underground rings, as in several rings, as he usually bailed one when he felt it had become too hot of a spot to remain, and the threat of cops and heroes coming down the place became more pronounced.

Yes he would have stayed and fight, but he gained nothing if he fought a losing battle already going, the first part of winning a fight (aside from fighting it) was knowing when it was wise to do so.

It was not an option in the underground rings, it was an option right now, if it wasn't for their 'boss' single minded goal, as in he made him look bad on how single minded he was now, he was pretty much ignoring everyone now.

They all knew that after the Coliseum fiasco and Chronostasis capture, alongside the escape of Eri (again) Overhaul had been on the edge, now that he knew where Eri was located, he didn't even think twice and marshalled half of his forces, including all the Eight Precepts to deal with any opposition and take Eri back.

The issue? They were walking right into the territory of the Wild, Wild Pussycats.

Now he has some sort of respect for them, and much of the rescue heroes, it takes a special kind of person to actually tackle natural and manmade disasters, and come out on top, sure you can't actually punch disasters away, but the fact they went with all the odds stacked against them, it put them high on his respect list.

And right now they were marching into their territory, territory they knew.

It screamed of bad idea, no matter how you painted it.

Even if the fact they had seen the biggest explosion go off in the distance, and there was the strong possibility that the Pussycats had left to deal with the possible cause of the explosion in the nearby town, there was the possibility that Eri would not be alone at all, and whoever was left with her, was not necessarily a person that anyone might want to cross.

The possibility of crossing the 'Terminator of Musutafu' made him excited, the very same person that had somehow saved two children and had left a trail of corpses in its wake was enticing, also he wanted to cross the kid that beat up a T-Doll so bad it had to run away, still the kid used weapons, but fuck it when you wield a hammer that's on fucking fire it really doesn't matter much.

Yet, as they trekked through the woods, something felt…odd.

"This…is too quiet" one of the goons muttered, looking around, "After such explosions, I expected the animals going off their rocker" he added, looking around in fright, "But…something…this is too quiet"

"I agree" Yu Hojo muttered, glancing around, "The forest feels…abandoned"

"After that explosions I would be surprised something's asleep" Soramitsu Tabe snapped, wide eyes darting around, "But yeah…this feels like a dammed B-movie, I expect the killer to come out right about now"

"Sir, the killer just comes out when someone is alone, and probably lost his or her virginity" one of the goons stated, "Or your of another ethnicity that's not white, if so that's your ass"

Overhaul wanted right now to blast that goon into paste, he hated those movies, they were useless and a waste of.

SNAP!!

Over fifteen goons turned their guns to the source of the sound, Overhaul was already kneeling and about to overhaul enough spikes to impale an elephant.

"Sakaki, prepare yourself" Overhaul ordered to the man that could made anyone drunk of their ass with his Quirk alone, "You too Bula, this is your territory" he called to one of his goons, usually place on the front lawn of the compound, where plants and leafs were present, as his Quirk demanded it.

They remained silent, and unmoving, waiting for anything to happen.

Then they began to hear it, the rustling of leafs and dirt…all around them.

Overhaul heard one of his underlings mutter a silent 'fuck' under his breath, but didn't leave, good, he wouldn't waste time in killing hi-

"OH FUC-"

Overhaul had just enough time to whirl and see one of his underlings be dragged by something pink tied to his neck, then yanked forward, the force of the yank cracked his neck clean and his scream died alongside him as he was dragged away into the woods, leaving the rest rather shocked as of what had happened.

Then they saw it, several forms, humanoid, big, in green and purple, with armors on and what seemed to be pikes and…was that arm mounted grenade launchers?

There were many, way too many…they were setting up for an ambush…

This was not something Heroes did, kill no, especially with those…then it hit Chisaki, those were not defenses set by the heroes to protect Eri.

Those things, and whatever other thing around were AFTER Eri.

After his possession.

He didn't knew who started, but he was dammed sure, as the GOLEM's rushed them and Quirks started flying about.

He was going to end it, and whoever tried to stop him.

Aizawa narrowed his eyes, glancing at the cause of the disturbance, seeing what seemed to be a light show with explosions that rocked the forest before the compound.

With a hand motion he signaled Inko to kill the lights of the room, the last lights to be killed in the compound, officially the moon was the only light source, for anyone.

Going to the bed, Inko kneeled and pulled a black box from underneath as her son passed her and placed the hard drive of the computer near the desk.

"LAAS YAH NIR" he hissed, instantly focusing on the war happening on the forest and narrowing his eyes.

"Talk to me problem child, how many?" Aizawa was already on 'hero' mode, he literally had zero patience at this point.

"Can't tell, too clumped, they are fighting against each other, I can say there are three guys that are far behind, keeping watch perhaps-a small group broke, three small ones, moving fast, a fourth its following, its big" Izuku commented, looking at Aizawa, fists clenched, "The Troupe just blew a town to get to us" he hissed, and Aizawa noted how angry he was now, after all the crackling of Arc energy on his clenched fists and the small smell of ozone was a telltale of Arc energy build-up, he had been around the kid enough times to tell the difference between a basic electrical build-up and the build-up of Arc energy.

"Stop that, it smells" Kota muttered, huddled alongside Eri, who looked haunted, she had seen one of the trees being shot in the air just minutes ago, and a spike made out of rocks being the reason, she instantly recognized it, and had pretty much began to shake.

"Hesgonnagetme" Eri muttered, despite the fact Kota was huddled to her side, hugging her, she kept repeating the same words.

"He's not gonna get no one tonight, dear" Inko said, opening the box and pulling something out of it, Kota and Aizawa actually stared wide-eyed as she pulled an MP5 and began to checks the safeties and sights of the gun, "The only thing he will get will be a quick trip to the morgue if he as much breathes in your direction" she added as she loaded the gun and reached for the box, checking what else she could use.

Izuku remained silent, but the clenching and un-clenching of his fists was indication enough of his stress and anger at all this.

"We have to leave the compound" Aizawa muttered, "There are too many variables, and this Overhaul is one of the worse, I can nullify his Quirk, no question about it, the real question is should I? Right now taking them down is secondary" he stated.

"I agree" Inko stated, "But where should we go? the town is a disaster zone, and surely they would follow, too risky" she stated.

"Our only option, our only tangible one, they must have brought cars, we sneak out of the compound, circle around their fight, your son can guide us away of the worse of the fight and anyone trying to ambush us with Aura Whisper, I can hotwire a car and we head to Raxus, it might be a disaster zone, but it is one with heroes" Aizawa stated.

"We will have to…entertain some guests on our way" Izuku said, looking at the horizon, "Those three fast auras, must be T-Dolls, the fourth aura must be a BOW, by the size, maybe a Nemesis or a Tyrant, and just recently just one more signature broke of the fight as well, trailing behind and keeping his distance of the fourth signature, is small, really small" Izuku commented.

"Mimic" Eri mumbled, catching Izuku's attention, "Must be Mimic, he's always in a doll, sometimes his real body would come out to grab me…I sometimes bite the hand, he'll backhand me away" Eri replied in a subdued tone of voice.

"…He gets the flaming mallet" was all Izuku commented, neither Inko or Aizawa tried to dissuade him from that, mostly because they were thinking or worse things to do to Mimic.

"So…plans?" Izuku ventured, "Because I have one, but it's very loud, and I think Mandalay might kill me if I destroy the hot springs with a Nova Bomb" he admitted.

"No Void indoors" Kota reminded, "Also don't blow up the hot springs, every girl that has been and will be here will kill you" Kota added as he patted Eri on the head, "Also stop moping Eri-Chan, they won't get you"

"Kota-Kun" Eri whined, but still leaned to the touch on her head.

Aizawa simply took a deep breath, and then he spoke.

"Problem child, you're about the only person here that can tangle with a Terminator Doll and win, now you're on optimal state, instead of drugged and crippled, let them get inside the compound, ambush them, destroy them, Mandalay can fix the compound, money's not issue, but I want to see heaps of scrap instead of three functional dolls" Izuku nodded, slowly tightening the leather bracers on his forearms.

"And the fourth signature and Mimic?" Izuku wondered.

"If the fourth one is a BOW, deal with it" Aizawa intoned harshly, "This Mimic, is in a doll, let's see how good of an idea that is when I kicked him straight to your mallet" Izuku slowly grinded, he liked that plan.

"Inko-san, you'll be behind, make no mistake, you have an important task" Aizawa didn't need to say more as the mother nodded and looked at the two children.

"Overhaul will be shipped in a body bag if he even dares" was her promise, one she made more ominous as she tied a belt to her waist, and holstered a knife in.

"Good" Aizawa said as he took the hard drive that Izuku had placed in the desk, then tossed it to Inko, who pocketed it on one of her pockets.

"LAAS" Izuku 'shouted' his eyes actually narrowing and he slowly scowled.

"We got a situation, the mob began to break, they are making a break here, but many are…left behind" Izuku commented, slowly cracking his neck, "We need a new plan, whatever it was before, it won't work now" Izuku glanced at Aizawa for that.

"Hmm" the erasure hero murmured, "Kota, is there another exit?" he asked the small child.

"Yes" he confirmed, "Is through the hot springs believe it or not, the female side, there is a rock that's in fact fake, covered in fake moss and fake leaves, aunty showed it to me in case, no one notices it because of the mist and is retired enough of the spring in question" he added.

"Good" Aizawa then looked at Izuku, "Problem child, transform and let loose, you are our battering ram"

Aizawa didn't admitted it, but when Izuku turned into his rabbit form, and grinded to him, it made him uncomfortable, really uncomfortable.

He felt…somewhat bad for whatever crossed the problem child.

Somewhat.

They ran at double the speed a human should move, they didn't stop because they didn't had muscles that would start to strain under the pressure it was put to them, they were not subjected to exhaustion or pain, they were above it.

They were above petty distractions.

Still the glitching of their HUD's was annoying as hell.

"Dammit was M98 glitchy?" I45 wondered, "My HUD has been messed up since deployment"

"Same" I46 snapped, her pistol aimed downwards as they continued their mad dash onward the Pussycat compound, despite they state of their HUD's they could still remain aware of their allies locations.

Nemesis-α was behind them, but trailing behind, being bigger thanks to an up dose of steroids to be able to handle a direct confrontation with Leviathan, the Biological enhancements it had would help in the fight, but they had to enlarge the BOW to ensure full functionality against Leviathan, hence it's slow speed, still its massive form helped as each step covered enough space to give the impression that it moved fast.

Their HUD highlighted also that several GOLEM's had died thanks to Overhaul and his Yakuza enforcers, and were right now making a rush to the compound as well, pretty much ignoring what was left behind.

Durara's vitals still pinged, so he was alive, and so were the Lickers and Beta, who remained behind, but would surely blats its way when Durara gives the order, or something goes wrong.

"Compound ahead!" I46 snapped, "I45, breach charge now!" with a snarl I45 reached for something tied to its back, then without a second thought I45 tossed it, a black, square package that flew onwards with great speed, it instantly latched onto the door and blinked red.

"Breach!" with a mental command I45 detonated the charge.

BOOM!!

The door stood no chance, as the charge simply tore it away, and the wall attached to it, the three dolls busted in at top speed, only stopping their momentum as they blitzed the hall and into the living room, digging their feet into the woodwork of the floor.

The room, if not the entire compound was obscured, that didn't stop them, they had night vision, if a bit glitchy thanks to whatever M98 had before.

"Fuck, this is why we screen Dolls back home after sorties" I45 muttered, keeping its rifle aimed at the general direction.

"Stow it, break and search" I44 snapped to its 'sisters' both Dolls nodded, I44 went towards a stair, while I45 and I46 searched the bigger first floor.

Once on the second floor, I44 began to slowly move about, its HUD was not operating at maximum efficiency, and as a result it had to power down several features, the motion sensor it had installed had been glitching so bad that it had to be shut down first, they still had their IFF on and could identify the units that were friendly thanks to their dummy links to them but that was it.

That's how I44 knew the Nemesis-α was a minute away, while the rest and a massive mobs of pretty much everything was two from five minutes away, depending on how intense the fight between one another was.

I44 also had the same problem as its sisters, their HUD's were not the only thing glitching out, their memory banks showed recent tampering, malicious and it seemed that it might the source of the glitch, they could had quarantine the tampered memories, but those memories were also tied to the combat capabilities of Leviathan, quarantining the memories meant not having access to them in the operation.

It was a calculated risk, this was the reason they had rushed to the target, they were in a hurry, and had to deal with it as fast as they could, less the glitch begins to affect more systems, they could live without the HUD, everything else they could not.

So there they were, roaming a darkened compound in hopes of killing an entire family and whoever else was with them.

I44 rounded a corner, rifle aimed up-front, eyes darting around and moving slowly, despite the urgency of the mission, they knew they could not rush this particular part, M98 nearly died against Leviathan because M98 rushed without knowing their target true capabilities, they did know, but still it was a dangerous opponent.

I44 kept its pace, crossing a door-

CRASH!!

I44 felt inertia kick in as it crashed onto a wall, then its head was smashed into the wall by a hand, a large furry hand.

I44 instantly lashed out, whipping its free hand against the attacker-

"OOFFF" only to be lifted by a powerful kick, internal monitoring showed a massive trauma to the torso, the ribcage had over ten broken ribs, two were pulverized-

I44 gaped in surprise as two hands latched on its arms, limiting its movement, I44 began to struggle-

Only to gargle in pain as something punched a hole in its taut stomach and reached for the spine, I44 saw in shock that the reason of it was a glowing arm, a blue glowing arm.

It was there that I44 realized who was the attacker, directives began to kick in, trying to carry it out, but the strange strength of Leviathan wasn't allowing anything, I44 tried to kick, but it was then that shock began to travel on its systems, making it to seize up, also commands tied to its legs began to fail as the third arm began to apply pressure, it was cutting it up by pressure alone.

Then more arms emerged, two seized the top of its head, while two more grabbed the neck, I44 fought harder than before, but all was four naught as an electric current began to short circuit internals, causing its muscles and synapses to size up.

"You won't suce-" I44 tried to taunt Leviathan, only for both hands up its throat to close harder, crushing it's voice box with absolute ease, all while internals fried with an electrical current that compromised everything.

I44 tried to fight back, but when the electrical current enveloped Leviathan, all stopped, now I44 could see its opponent.

I44 was going to be dismembered by a 7 foot tall humanoid rabbit with muscles.

On his end, Izuku simply scowled at the Doll, with a huff, he yanked away, ripping both arms with particular ease of its sockets, Arc current enhancing his already prodigious strength as a wererabbit, then he commanded the Siren Arms to do the same, the head and torso were separated with particular ease as well, the joints would always be weak points in anything, not even T-Dolls were exempt to that rule, the skin was harder to yank off, oddly enough this Doll was weaker feeling than the last one he encountered.

That or fighting drugged and crippled versus fighting in top shape did made a difference.

Shaking his head, the Wererabbit tossed the remains away and stalked onwards, he was certain the other dolls knew that one of them was down, and he was right as he heard fast paced steps heading his way.

Izuku simply waited until he saw the form of another doll make its way to him, this one dressed more…revealing looking, growling and biting the embarrassment at seeing such a scandalous look, Izuku summoned his first ever Union Glyph for combat.

I45 on the other hand, had just about a second of consideration after seeing I44 headless and armless torso before Izuku slammed Saturnus up its skull, causing an instant blue screen of death and basically ramming I45 headfirst down the floor, and through it, making it crash onto the first floor.

Down on the first floor I46 had just seconds to respond to the crash, heading into the entrance, and seeing I45 down, white blood coming out of the wound on its head.

"Dammit" I46 cursed as it approached I45, only to take several steps back as a massive form jumped from the hole on the floor, basically landing on I45's back, and breaking the back with brutal ease.

I46 instantly rose its pistol and opened fire, only for a purple glow to envelop the massive form, a barrier forming in front of it, making it girth its teeth after seeing the bullets ping uselessly against the barrier.

With a yell I46 rushed at the attacker, only when it was close enough I46 realized what had killed I44 and possibly I45, and drew blanks instantly.

They got wrecked by a giant rabbit, a giant, green rabbit with muscles and a glowing shi-

THUNK!!

I46 recoiled in shock at the shield's edge met its face, making it recoil, before I46 could do anything it was backhanded with the shield, crashing into a wall and being embedded into it, I46's right arm was now trapped, and thus trapped I46.

Looking at Its attacker, I46 grew panicked when this one rose its shield and tried to bash its head in, I46 had to think fast, using all its strength I46 was able to pull itself out of the rubble, most of it, its arm was still trapped.

And thus was subjected to being cut off by pure brute force via blunt object.

With gritted teeth I46 reached for its baton, only to be lifted of its feet by a vicious uppercut.

While seeing the Doll in mid-air, Izuku prepared himself, once the doll had lost momentum, Izuku lashed with an Arc infused kick.

CRACK!!!

A kick that went through the torso of I46 and pushed all internal components away, or outright broke them apart.

Still functioning, I46 tried to pry the leg away, but coughing white blood and rapidly missing energy all it could do was to grasp the leg in a futile manner, all while gagging and twitching by the catastrophic damage no other T-Doll had been subjected to.

Izuku simply glanced at the still struggling doll, so he simply kneeled slightly, gripping the neck of the doomed doll, and yanked onward.

Fluid and parts flew away as he yanked the upper torso and arm from the neck, while the rest remained behind, after that I46 stopped struggling altogether.

Unknown location…

Omega had his mouth open, so did several technicians, not believing what had just occurred to three T-Dolls with over ten years of service.

Massacred in less than a minute, none was able to land a single blow against leviathan.

What made it worse was it had been a dammed rabbit, a jacked-up wererabbit had fucked three weapons of war.

"My god…the data" one of the technicians and tacticians muttered, "It…is outdated" he muttered.

Omega couldn't agree more, the data M98 had provided was obsolete, and right now M98 was the only T-doll to ever survive Leviathan, and that was apparently thanks in part to a broken leg and being drugged to the point of being nerfed.

"Fuck" Omega instantly began to bark orders, "Where's Nemesis-Alpha now?"

"Ten seconds before engages objective!"

"Have him set to kill, full mode! Have it use all three enhancements!"

Wild, Wild Pussycats compound…

Izuku heard the steps first, his ears were now sharp enough to differentiate the steps.

His mom and the others were now moving away, using the halls from the second floor and the secondary stairs that connected directly to the hot springs.

The other set of steps is what drew his attention, heavy steps, rushing steps.

Izuku turned, and his eyes widened.

A Nemesis was rushing at him, a really big one, easily standing above other Nemesis before, obviously far musclier and…

"Oh my" the Nemesis BOW was a staple of the Resident Evil franchise, alongside zombies, it was iconic, far more than other BOW, the fact it could track its prey, outrun it and use weapons made it so.

Then came 2020 and the remake, and Nemesis got far more scary than before, mostly because of its redesign, and the flamethrower.

The good news here, this one didn't had a flamethrower, the bad news, it was the Nemesis of the remake, on steroids, and with the mechanical pump on its chest.

So Izuku did the only sensate thing he could do.

He stood his ground, planting himself firmly and deploying all six siren arms.

"MUL QAH DIIV!" And with a shout he was enveloped in the very same ethereal armor, he felt more powerful than before, sturdier, he could take on anything now.

"DE-KU" and with those words said, the Nemesis legs simply bulged, rupturing the leather and showing growing exposed muscle, with the added mass, The Nemesis jumped onwards at Izuku with great momentum.

"WULD!" With another shout, Izuku blurred out of sight, only to reappear right in front of the jumping Nemesis.

CRASH!!

Like two cars crashing up-front, Izuku and the Nemesis stopped each other by sheer momentum, yet Izuku was the one pushed back, The Nemesis larger mass permitted it, yet it was slightly stunned, Izuku took the opportunity and rushed at the Nemesis, the Spear of Leonidas forming on his left hand.

The Nemesis lashed with a tentacle that emerged from its left hand, but Izuku saw it in slow motion thanks to Blade Mode, ducking with ease he disengaged Blade Mode and instantly lashed against the Nemesis extended arm, starting a vicious stabbing, easily puncturing skin and muscle at least six times before plunging the blade and dragging it downwards, nearly making it to the hand, but stopping when the arm began to grow muscles once more, Izuku jumped away as the Spear of Leonidas vanished.

"Again, Exo-muscles, the Nemesis never had that capacity before, not even the others…it looks like a Quirk, but that's impossible" Izuku thought as he saw the Nemesis stalk towards him, the sound of something wiggling underneath the creature's skin making him somewhat queasy.

Izuku also noted the amount of people and GOLEM's rushing at the compound, and actually fighting one another, the other attackers.

He could fight them, but he had a better idea.

Ducking from a tentacle blow from the Nemesis, Izuku channeled Arc energy to his legs, and with a spin he lashed out with a powerful kick that met the Nemesis straight in the chest.

Bone broke but this time the kick didn't punched a hole, more of the strange exo-muscle formed at the last second, cushioning the blow, but not enough as the muscle fibers blew up by the impact, some even looking burnt, still it did its job.

Pushing the Nemesis outside.

The creature stumbled backwards, but recovered quickly, not enough to counter Izuku's next move.

"FO KRAH DIIIIIIIIIINNNNN!" Izuku let out a sustained Ice breath shout, like an ice storm coming out of his mouth, Izuku directed it directly at the Nemesis, the creature taking the full hit and being enveloped in frost that began to flake the skin and damage it, all while keeping a close look at the approaching mob.

Once they were close, he turned the shout to them, the focalized ice storm had more devastating effects on the mob, the GOLEM's slowed down, their nature seemingly not able to agree with the extreme cold, but their suits protecting them, he noted that the electric pikes began to fail.

The real damage was for the humans, as the average human didn't agree with such concentrated hails of ice that could shred skin, as it was doing, aside from freezing them and slowing them down.

Izuku ended the shout, looking at the now stopped mob, some were still trying to move, like that guy who was kneeling, trying to stand up, with the big jacket and a…toucan looking mask.

"…You motherFUCKER" Izuku saw red at that moment, he recognized the guy, the very man that had destroyed his home, the very man that Eri feared the most.

Kai Chisaki, better known as the current leader of the last Yakuza, Overhaul.

Without even thinking it, Izuku jumped off, his legs and Light providing a higher jumping ability that any know wererabbit, his leap allowed him to land right behind the kneeling Overhaul, who was shaking in because of the cold, so he had no real defense to what came next.

Izuku snarling, summoned the Siege Maul, the flaming hammer emerged from his hand, and he swung it onwards.

"Hey! Asshole!" Izuku snapped, making the freezing Overhaul turn his head to him, "Eri sends her regards!" and Izuku swung the hammer in a downward arc to the disbelieving eyes of the Yakuza leader.

THUNK!!

Overhaul flew into the air, his mask flying and flacking in fire and his teeth flying as well, jaw was pretty much broken at this point, and Izuku wanted him to be in more pain.

Before Overhaul hit the ground, Izuku slammed the Siege Maul to the ground, and a gout of fire emerged from the point of impact, forming a path of fire, right at the falling Overhaul.

By his part the Yakuza had only seconds to appreciate the very fact Eri had send someone to kill him before a gout of fire hit him head on, making him scream in pain as the fire consumed him, his Quirk unable to simply heal the damage done, and the pain making it basically impossible to use it effectively.

Seeing the Yakuza leader screaming in pain, Izuku again focused on the Nemesis, this one slowly standing up, frowning he tossed the Siege Maul up, two fiery Siren Arms catching it as he summoned Celebrimbor's craft hammer on his right hand as he approached the slowly standing BOW.

The Nemesis, in the process of standing up, only had a second to register pain on the back of its head before it was forced to its knees once more, only to be forced upwards by a powerful blow by the Siege Maul to its chest.

The Nemesis growled as it recovered its bearings, and with speed not befitting its size, moved to face Izuku, opened its mouth, and breathed out fire.

Izuku actually jumped away of the surprise attack, fire slowly burning part of his shirt, but not enough for Dragon Aspect unique features, resistance to fire, to kick in immediately, yet it signed his fur.

Also it concerned Izuku, this Nemesis didn't need a flamethrower, it had one attached to its mouth, but he didn't see any tubing on the mouth, which only could lead to one conclusion, someone had been able to grant the Nemesis the ability to breathe fire.

It seemed like a Quirk, but that was simply impossible, not even the Troupe without their morals to stop them had found a way to grant their BOW's quirks, an edge against heroes.

This thing had to go down, now.

Izuku instantly rushed at the Nemesis with a battle cry, the creature simply stood up, and raising its arm, blocked the Siege Maul first hit.

BAMM!!

But not the craft hammer going to the teeth, breaking several and making the BOW to stagger, capitalizing on this, Izuku instantly lashed with a powerful sweep kick to the Nemesis calves, hitting it hard, the lack of footing caused the creature to stumble and loose footing, enough for Izuku to finally hit the head of the BOW with the Siege Maul.

The impact caused the Nemesis to actually fall on its back with a thud that made those conscious enough to wince, once there, Izuku slightly jumped, Siege Maul poised to strike, and strike he did.

The Nemesis let out a roar of pain as Izuku slammed the hammer into its chest, the exo-muscle mass again forming, but it got burned incredibly fast by fires hotter any muscle had ever been exposed, again Izuku jumped, and struck down, the Nemesis tried to defend itself, but one of the Siren Arms fired itself at the rising arm, instantly swatting it away and burning it.

Seeing this thing wasn't going to let itself go down easily, Izuku rose one of his hands, and charged an Apobiosis.

As it was, Apobiosis would affect anything at two meters of Izuku, so he made sure he was as close of the Nemesis when he let loose.

The instant the Mitochondria charge bolt was unleashed, the Nemesis began to trash, actually trash, Izuku jumped away, not expecting such extreme reaction, he could see that the Exo-muscle the Nemesis produced began to wiggle, alongside the tentacles, making an uncomfortable sight, it was also breathing fire at clenched and damaged teeth, damaging the mouth internally because the fire had no way to go out well enough, then the third thin happened.

Blades began to come out of the exposed flesh of the Nemesis, palms, forearms, the exposed legs, blades, actual metallic blades were popping in an out, not damaging the flesh, as if the flesh itself was creating them, no glow, just growth.

Now Izuku was sure, this was the work of a Quirk, it was a Quirk what he was seeing, and someone had added three Quirks to a BOW.

The Troupe had made a BOW with a Quirk.

As the Nemesis trashed, Izuku made his decision, getting close enough, he began to charge his second attack.

He had trained this one hard, not hard enough to actually evolve it to its second stage, but considering that stage one is lethal already to anything alive, well hindsight is 20-20.

Once close enough, Izuku let out his second charged Mitochondria attack.

What seemed lava emerged from the very ground, only those who knew explosions and fire knew that wasn't the case, the ground itself boiled as what seemed a geyser of pure energy in orange and yellow emerged, and engulfed Izuku and the Nemesis.

It ended as soon as it came, and the result was rather shocking.

Izuku was still standing, not a single scratch, the Nemesis on the other hand.

Its skin seemed to be melting, actually melting, steaming and flaking around, the leather of its clothes was in actual fire and somehow fused with the melting skin, someone could see some bones exposed in the right arm.

The fact it was still alive was shocking enough to ignore the catastrophic damage that would kill anyone.

BAMM!

Then Izuku slammed the Siege Maul on the Nemesis chest, making a crater on impact and making the creature to let out one last jet of fire from its mouth before stilling.

With a satisfied huff, Izuku turned around and jumped onward the compound, leaving a disaster behind.

He didn't notice the small portals forming on the still frozen Yakuza, whom were unable to do anything about it.

He didn't noticed the Nemesis finger twitching.

He didn't noticed Overhaul basically hauling himself up out of pure spite.

"PUT THOSE FIRES NOW!"

Gang Orca had never so glad to see Pixie-Bon in his life, hauling several civilians that could manipulate fluid of any kind to suit their needs.

It also helped to his joy that one civilian could literally take oxygen from an area, basically starving fires from its main need, aside anything flammable.

This disaster had brought both the best and worst of people, he had seen looters trying to steal things from the few untouched stores left, those were dealt with easily, as the looters were more focused on getting basic amenities, clothes and food, considering that the hospital went up in a giant ball of flames and the few clinics around the town were so small that the doctors could only attend fifteen patients a day, one didn't need to figure out why the looters looked so desperate.

Then there was the good part, the civilians had instantly organized in a brigade to start helping around, rescue efforts had been carried out by the time the Pussycats had arrived and taken over the chain of command, and the civies had not raised their voice, just gratefully gave the command and continued helping in any way they could.

Gang Orca stared at the area he was in, two blocks away from the shelter they had placed, and Old Park that now served as the main base to coordinate the rescue efforts, right now every soul was focused on two things, rescue and demolition.

And they had to demolish a lot, many of the houses around were fire hazards, right now the winds were in their favor, blowing the winds to the epicenter of the disaster, and ensuring the brigades could demolish the homes and ensure no propagation of fire would occur, but would gather nay food in those homes before alongside any medicine before demolition, they also closed any gas line they found, because right now anything that could cause more fires was an enemy that had to be beaten into submission.

Looking around, Gang Orca spotted Shishido guiding several brigadiers into another house to basically strip of anything useful and then demolish the house.

It was an old tactic used by firefighter's way back, they were basically a demolition unit aimed to starve fires by depriving them of what they needed to spread, keeping it contained
