Chapter 40
A/N: I wanna say how amused I am about how I haven't really seen any theories about this story because of casual hints that I've dropped throughout it XD but also news, I am currently prewriting a story for Hood along with a story for Hagane and Hannah, I've got details of Hood currently laid out such as his name (which will not be revealed for the moment) and as I've mentioned before, I've got plans laid out for the end of this story but I've got a question, there is a point that I might break off of the canon (such as the second book) so would you guys be fine with that as there is a possibility of a second My Hero Academia series. The reason why is asked is because I'd be able to get to the second book much faster that way. Well back to the story! Enjoy!
"I will explain this step by step." Sir Nighteye announces as mummers travel through the room.
"Seriously what is happening." You whisper to Hannah after all of the heroes are in the conference room.
"Since about two weeks prior, we at the Nighteye offices have been individually observing... a certain villain group... known as the Eightfold Cleansers!! There was an accident involving a thief gang known as the Reservoir Dogs. The police cleaned up everything as it was just an accident, but their were many points that made no sense and we began to track them." A member of Nighteye's office, Bubblegirl if you recall correctly announces earning nods of recollection because of the stated event.
"I am a sidekick, Centipeder. I have been conducting the tracting and observation as per the instructions put forth by Nighteye. Within just this one year period that I've been investigating, there has been a rapid increase in contact, both between members of the underground organization, as well as people outside the group. They appear to be in an organization. moving with the intent to expand and accumulate funds. Also, shortly after the commencement of the investigation... I made contact with one, Bubaigawara Jin, villain name, 'Twice'. They were particularly cautious of being followed and I was unable to continue tracking them, but here I was able to cooperate with the Police. They were able to confirm that during this meeting some kind of skirmish had occurred." Centipeder announces so Gran Torino sits back in his chair and speaks up.
"So its related to the villain alliance... that's why you called me Tsukauchi." Gran Torino comments so a hero looks at him.
"And where is Tsukauchi?" The hero questions so Gran Torino responds.
"There was more information from witnesses he had to check up on.," Gran Torino says before he looks at Midoriya. " Listen boy, I never thought that it would come to this... you've been dragged into quite an annoying situation."
Midoriya looks at Gran Torino flabbergasted. "I don't think any part of this is 'annoying'!" After Midoriya's response he and Togata exchange a few whispers and things proceed as it was.
"Continuing on." Nighteye announces, prompting Bubblegirl to continue.
"Uhhh, we have this kind of process. We wanted to request everyone's cooperation on HN." Bubblegirl says so Centepeder looks at her tablet and gestures for her to swipe it while whispering.
"HN?" Ochako questions so Neijre responds.
"That's short for the Hero Network. It's an internet service that only people with a pro license can use. They say you can see activity reports and apply for help from useful quirks worldwide." Neijre explains gleefully so you look at Hannah and she nods in confirmation.
"Hey, even if they're Yuuei students, what's with the brats? Can't talk with them around, we're burnin' daylight just getting to the real issue of what they're plotting." Someone comments in annoyance so Fatgum rushes up and hits his chair to the side.
"ENOUGH OUTTA YOU- THESE THREE 'ERE ARE SUPER IMPORTANT WITNESSES!" Fatgum yells as he gestures to you, Eijiro and Amajiki.
"The three... of us?" Eijiro questions with amazement.
"Either way these children, no cadet heroes will be taking our places one day and they need as much preparation as possible, sure I may not have experienced this back in my day of being a Yuuei student but they are our future and maybe it is time for them to 'intrude'." Hannah adds as calmly as she can muster.
"Besides, I think there's a ton o' people who're meetin' for the first time, so better to get to it! The name's Fatgum, pleasure to meet y'all!," Fatgum announces with excitement before digging in his pocket. "OH! HERE'S SOME CANDY!!"
"We have reason to believe that the Eightfold Cleansers have made the dispersal of unlicensed goods part of their livelihood. As such I have requested help from heroes familiar with that line of work." Sir Nighteye announces as Fatgum cheerfully passes you a piece of candy that you gratefully munch on.
"Long ago we smashed those kinda things to pieces!" Fatgum growls as his cheerful demeanor vanishes. "THEN, YESTERDAY, IN RED RIOT AND KUSARI'S DEBUT BATTLE!!! TAMAKI WAS SHOT BY SOMTHIN' NEW, THE LIKES THAT WE AIN'T EVER SEEN!!" Fatgum crushes the candies in his hand as he becomes visably angry. "A DRUG... THAT ERASES QUIRKS."
Gasps echo in the room and you can see Hannah looking visibly shaken at the idea of it, possibly because of the thought of you, your brother and father. "WHAT!? TAMAKI, YOU'RE OK RIGHT??" Togata panics as he reaches out to Amajiki so the teen sweatdrops and turns his hand into a cow's hoof.
"Yeah... after sleeping it came back. Just look at this splendid cow hoof." Amajiki whispers as he tries to take the attention off himself.
"So if it recovers no need to worry. Nothin' fatal." The same hero that made an annoyed comment earlier says so Aizawa jumps in.
"Its a bit different from my erasure. That's because I'm not attacking the quirk itself. A special mechanism, 'Plus Alpha' is added to a basic human body. That is a quirk. These 'Plus Alpha' are collectively called the 'Quirk Factor'. Ultimately, I can only temporarily halt that Quirk Factor. I can't cause damage to it." Aizawa explains so you listen with interest on how the quirk is brought about and how he can stop it.
"Right after Tamaki got shot we took him to the hospital to get a look-see... that Quirk Factor had taken damage! Luckily, it recovered naturally and has returned to normal now. There were no abnormalities in Tamaki's body! It was only, and I mean only the quirk that was attacked! Not a peeop from the Gang that shot 'im! The gun's in pieces too! Plus they didn't have no other bullets in thei pocession 'sides the one they fired! And the analysis of the thing he was shot with? THANKS TO KIRISHIMA RISKIN' 'IS LIFE TO DEFLECT THE BULLET, WE WERE ABLE TA OBTAIN DA CONTENTS OF THAT ONE SHOT!!!" Fatgum announces so you lean over the table to look past Fatgum to see Eijiro looking slightly bashful for a moment before catching your glimpse and getting back to his senses.
"WHA- I DID?! I WAS ONLY PROTECTING (Y/N)!! THAT CAME OUTTA NOWHERE!!" Eijiro announces earning comments from Hado, Tsuyu and Ochako.
You're about to thank Eijiro for protecting you until you are overcome by a suffocating sense of blood lust resonating from someone that honestly scares you so you look over to Fatgum slowly as he begans to talk with his teeth clenched. "AS FOR WHAT WAS INSIDE... SOMETHING TRULY SICKENING CAME OUT... IT CONTAINED HUMAN BLOOD AND CELLS."
"In other words... that effect is derived from a person... or, a quirk. A quirk to destroy other quirks..." Someone assesses as you sit in shock of what was in the vials used to shoot at you and Amajiki.
'Bl-blood? What's wrong with these guys? How far can a quirk go with its abilities? What is this?' You think with a shudder as Fatgum explains more about the drug much more calmly than before.
"There's no evidence the Cleansers themselves are dealing the stuff but there's been contact between them and a middleman organization selling it." You catch the last of Fatgum's explanation which gets a confused comment from someone.
"Recall the clash between villain groups that Ryuukyuu and her team cleaned up a few days ago. The boss of one of those gangs was with one of those middleman groups." Sir Nighteye explains.
"One of the villains who gigantified only maintained it for a short while. Tey must have been inferior goods." Ryuukyuu explains as she recalls the moment.
"I guess that of the acts of the organized crime that have been on a rise lately, the lion's share... seem to be traceable back to the Eightfold Cleansers if you think about it that light." Someone comments as he reads some papers with information.
"The connect's still a little hazy though... It can maybe be construed that we're twisting things to make the Cleansers the culprits at any cost. I wonder if there's anything more conclusive to clinch the link. The quirk of the Capo, Chisaki is named 'Overhaul'. Its a power that can disassemble and reassemble any target. A quirk that can dismantle... to destroy and repair at once. That, along with the bullets that can destroy quirks.," Sir Nighteye explains so you notice Midoriya and Togata's faces contort with a pain you're not sure you can really understand as their heads seemingly fall in what you guess to be shame. "Chisaki has a daughter... though one without a birth certificate, so the particulars aren't clear. When these two encountered her, her arms and legs were wrapped in a great many bandages."
"HOW THE HELL COULD SOMEONE DO THIS!! THIS IS A CHILD!," Hannah yells as she flies from her seat to your shock. "WHEN SOMEONE HAS A CHILD THEY SHOULDN'T BE HARMING THEM! THEIR FIRST PRIORITY IS PROTECTING THEM!"
You watch as your mother fumes with shock and wonder how much better or worse things would have been if your father were here. "Chain it would be best to calm down, we understand that there are things you just don't do to a child but it would be best for you to control yourself for the moment." Aizawa says so even though Hannah's face still expresses anger she sits and attempts to compose herself.
"Whaddya expect of this world of super humans. All it takes is the thought and any son of a a bitch can do anything." Gran Torino grumbles.
"What? Are you all talking about...?!" Eijiro trails as he seems shaken by his thought.
"See? We don't need any kids around. Slow on the uptake much...? Put it simply, we're saying that they're probably making the bullets out of her body." The annoyed hero says making you and your classmates look at him with bewilderment.
"We don't know if they're trafficking them or not. At their current stage in development, they're not really close to completion. Be as it may... if, hypothetically, they were using them as a testing phase and using them as samples for representations to gather comrades... however there's no definitive proof. Lets say they gathered allies all around the country and amassed the funds- what if the completed bullets could take quirks themselves and completely eradicate them...? Many dark, dark ideas spring into one's mind." Sir Nighteye continues the briefing like you and your classmates were just the same as you were and not visibly shaken.
"JUST IMAGININ' IS MAKIN' MY BOWELS SEETHE WITH RAGE!!! C'MON, WE GOTTA SEARCH THEIR HIDEOUT!!!!" Fatgum yells, making your mom clench her fist as she resists the temptation to join his demand to search the hideout.
"So you're saying that if these dudes had been able to take them girl under protection, then this whole problem would've been resolved right then and there?" The annoyed hero says so Sir Nighteye exhales.
"I take responsibility for all of it, so I'd appreciate it if you didn't put the blame on them. Even though they didn't know her predicament... they both tried their best to save her. Midoriya stuck his neck out their and tried to protect her while Mirio made sure to think ahead... in order to secure her safety at a sounder juncture.," Sir Nighteye announces as Midoriya and Togata jump out of their seats with looks of anger. "The ones who are most frustrated right here and now... are these two."
"We won't fail you this time, Eri!!" Midoriya yells.
"WE'LL PROTECT HER!" Both Mirio and Midoriya yell in unison so Sir Nighteye nods.
"Yes, and that will be our goal." Sir Nighteye says before things carry on with a majority of the conference being a huge argument.
"Damnit." You grumble with your head laid on a cafeteria table that you and your friends took refuge at after the meeting.
"So frustrating..." Eijiro sighs with his face contorted to that of a person aching inside.
"Deku..." Ochako whispers so you merely roll your head to the side to look at Eijiro.
"Are you guys holding a wake or something?" Aizawa's voice questions so you nod but Tsuyu jumps with shock and yells sensei.
"Ah, just call me Eraserhead outside of class please. Oh, however I had originally planned to suspend all of your internships today..." Aizawa announces so Eijiro's face turns into one of annoyance.
"WHAT?! WHY NOW OF ALL TIMES!!?" Eijiro yells but Aizawa remains calm.
"you all heard that there's a possibility that the league is involved. That changes things. But you know... Midoriya... you still haven't restored my trust in you yet. Unfortunately, I have every reason to believe that if I were to stop you right now... You'd just jump out in the midst of things again. I'm watching you. If you act again, we'll go by the formal procedures this time around, Midoriya. Got it, Problem Child?," You hear Aizawa say but unbeknownst to you his attention is now on you. "Tetsutetsu don't give up on us yet. Even when you were exhausted from studying for the finals you didn't act like this. Perk up, even your brother isn't getting this opportunity so that must amount to something."
You clench your eyes tightly, he is right. You open your eyes again, push yourself off the table and allow your frustration and pain for the girl to fuel a flame in your eyes. "There we go, that's the Tetsutetsu we know.," Aizawa says before looking back to Midoriya. "Let me tell you something... that hand of yours that just barely missed rescuing her... I'll bet that she felt something other than despair. So keep looking forward and go on, you too Tetsutetsu."
Aizawa moves away from Midoriya and gives him a small bow. "YES SIR!" Midoriya yells in response to Aizawa's speech.
"I'LL FOLLOW YOU FOREVER, ERASERHEAD!" Eijiro yells as he jumps up so Aizawa looks at him exhaustively.
"No, not forever, please." Aizawa sighs.
"S-S-SORRY!" Eijiro apologizes loudly in response so you laugh at him.
"Kirishima!! Tetsutetsu! You two are too loud..." Amajiki says quietly as he attempts to not make himself noticed.
Timeskip
Days have passed and you and your classmates in the internships have begun to outdo your classmates much to their amazement and annoyance (Bakugo), but you all have a reason to push yourselves so hard in training, your role in saving Eri, You, Eijiro, Midoriya, Ochako and Tsuyu. No matter what the five of you have a pledge you need to keep up, no matter the pain in not being able to confide in anyone else in the class or the worry for the girl you are making wait.
Bzzt
Your eyes open as you grumble in annoyance at your ringing phone. "Damn you Tetsutetsu. I swear if you are messaging me to ask if pigeons have feelings- wait what?" Your eyes widen as you read the message then you throw on a jacket Eijiro gave you over your sports bra that you were sleeping in then rush out into the halls after putting on your slippers, instantly Midoriya is by your side.
"Did you get the message too?" Midoriya questions so you nod as your friends make their way to you.
"You got it?" Eijiro questions everyone, you all nod.
"Ok lets change, five minutes then we leave!" You say before running back to your room in a mad dash, its time to save Eri and at the break of dawn you find yourself with your friends and the pros inside of the hideout of the villains.
"Lets give 'em hell!" You yell as you mentally prepare yourself to storm the base.
A/N: Ok here's last week's chapter down! I've been grounded and the internet has been laggy because of the mess of winter weather we've been getting so I apologize for the late update! I'm gonna head to bed because I have school and student teaching tomorrow. Have a good night/day... BYYYEEEE!!
