Chapter 41
"You've both been eager to start since this morning." Amajiki tells you and Eijiro as you talk to Ochako.
"Of course I have been waiting anxiously to save this girl." You say to Amajiki as you put your hand on your hip.
"I'm starting to feel nervous..." Ochako says so you smile at her.
"Everything will be great! Plus with how we've been training for the past few days the odds are quite possibly in our favor." You attempt to reassure her so she smiles weakly and nods.
"If we get all this settled now we can start early." Eijiro tells Amajiki as he adjusts his mask.
"It's almost weird that we are taking part in this." You say before looking back at the building that you will be raiding soon.
"The pros are being so cool and calm! Guess they're used to it, huh!" Eijiro expresses his excitement to Midoriya as he walks by.
"All the pros. But Gran Torino is missing... wonder what's going..." Midoriya says as he curiously looks around so you join in.
"I don't see him either." You comment as you look around.
"It seems that man was unable to come." Sir Nighteye responds so Midoriya looks at him with surprise.
"Looks like something big's moving with the alliance, which Tsukauchi is handling.," A guy dressed in a business suit that is standing by Sir Nighteye explains to Midoriya. "He seemed down about it, but oh well. We've got enough hands on deck already. Shouldn't be a problem."
"I see." Midoriya responds sounding disappointed so Eijiro pats his back.
"We're gonna catch both the Cleansers and the Villain Alliance in one go!" Eijiro tells Midoriya so he starts looking pumped.
"Haha, yeah!," Midoriya sharply inhales as he mentally prepares himself. "All right...!"
"Yo." A voice says so you and your friends turn around to see Aizawa standing behind you with your mother on standby.
"Ah, uh, E-Eraserhead!" Midoriya greets sounding shaken by the surprise of your teacher being there.
"M-Mom!?" You gasp so she grins and ruffles your hair.
"Yep, still not used to me being a hero, ey?" Hannah chuckles so you nod.
"Your father as can be expected won't make it but he made me swear to watch after you and your mother so don't get too hurt." Aizawa tells you.
"R-Really? Jeez this past year has been something." You acknowledge how things have come and gone through the year, you made your way into Yuuei, you learn that your mother was a pro and your father was a vigilante its just... wow things really are eventful.
"Tetsutetsu-san! Its nice to see you again." Eijiro greets your mother swiftly with a bow as soon as he notices her.
"Stop that nonsense, its just Hannah.," Hannah says and makes Eijiro stand up straight. "I suppose you're dating my daughter now."
You and Eijiro exchange bewildered looks when you realize that you forgot to tell her. "You were supposed to tell them!" Eijiro whispers to you.
"I forgot!" You respond so your mom laughs.
"Things were like this for Hagane and I. After we started dating we traveled to America during my break to visit my family and he was so awkward and didn't speak perfect English so sometimes around my father he reverted back to Japanese out of pure nervousness. It was really endearing to me." Your mom gets a dreamy look in her eyes as she seemingly remembers her young days with your father so you tilt your head with curiosity as Eijiro quickly excuses himself to meet with Fatgum.
"How did you two meet?" You question so Hannah's smile grows more as she prepares to tell you.
"I was walking to school one day when I was att-" Your mother's story is cut off when the dressed up man begins his announcements.
"Hey heroes, there's no helping it if things get a little rough out there. If you even see the slightest suspicious behavior or resistance out there, please deal with it immediately!" The man announces so Hannah pats your back.
"I'll tell ya later! Go to your mentor and wait with Eijiro and your other teammate. Stay safe." Hannah says before squeezing you in a tight hug and quickly dashing off.
"Tamaki, here eat this. Its a swordfish." Fatgum tells Amajiki as you stand by Eijiro.
"Your mom is really cool." Eijiro states so you smile and nod at his statement as Amajiki rushes to scarf down the sushi.
"Our opponents are Yakuza types, who, at the very least, survived long enough to see this day. So I want everyone one of you fulfilling your roles to the utmost... without letting down your guards for a single second! NOW MOVE OUT!," The dressed up man yells so everyone takes their places. "The moment I'm finished reading the warrens that's your cue to gallop in! Please be quick about it!"
Fatgum lectures a hero that is mouthing off as the man continues his briefing all the while trying to input a code to the gates of hideout until... "WHAT DO YOU WANT!?" A villain yells as he bursts through the gate and throws members of the police into the sky.
"We've got to save them!" You yell but before you get the chance to act you see that three people have acted before anyone else, Midoriya, Aizawa and your mom. Hannah, although it as a risk, used her quirk to wrap chains around the enemy in order to fling herself onto his shoulder and swiftly jumps to catch a officer and uses her chains to flee to the side before being attacked.
"TELL ME WHY ARE YOU HERE!" The villain yells so the Pro-hero Ryuukyuu turns into a dragon and stops the villain's assault.
"THE RYUUKYUU GROUP WILL DEAL WITH THIS ONE. EVERYONE ELSE CONTINUE ONWARD." Ryuukyuu yells so Tsuyu and Ochako rush off to assist their mentor.
"DON' GET WHAT'S HAPPENIN' JUS' GET IN THERE!! GO, GO!!!" Fatgum yells as he directs everyone to the building and you and Eijiro charge in together.
"Tsuyu!! Uraraka!! Give it your all!!!" Eijiro yells to the girls before facing the building.
"Give 'em hell!!!" You shout before your group is approached by a group of Yakuzas.
"'Ey! WHO THE HELL'RE YOU BASTARDS!" A member of the group yells as one of them steps forward with a broom in hand.
"YOU CAN'T JUST FUCKIN' WALTZ RIGHT IN HERE!!!" One of them yells with rage as he starts trudging towards your group.
"WE'RE HEROES AND THE POLICE!! WE HAVE A SEARCH WARRANT FOR THE COUNTS OF THE MANUFACTURING AND SALE OF ILLEGAL DRUGS!!" A Police officer yells as he and the other officers charge forward with their riot shields held up.
"THE GUYS ARE SO OVER THE TOP!! ITS SO CRAZY!!!" Eijiro yells as he watches the police with amazement.
"No idea what you're talkin' about!!" One of the people on the other side says as he seems to use what you assume to be his quirk because suddenly leaves come flying towards you and the others but he is stopped when a Pro destroys the leaves and grabs him.
"Leavin' aside the big one are none of these guys scared!?" Someone yells with shock of what's happening.
"MAKE A BEELINE FOR THE OBJECTIVE!!!," Fatgum yells so you grab Eijiro's arm and run into the building with a slight feeling of urgency. "THIS'S AN URGENT SITUATION! SO SORRY FOR TRACKIN' IN DIRT!!"
Fatgum and another hero exchange a few urgent words about what is happening at the moment and agree that now the main objective is to get Eri and to make it out alive. "I bet this means info got leaked from somewhere... and I don't like the look of how we're all just lumped together." Amajiki says nervously.
"Then we need to find a way to be smarter about the way we avoid their attacks. They must be told to be united in purpose on a routine basis." The guy that seems to be running the show (the dressed up guy) assesses the situation at hand.
"Once they've crossed sake cups, their vows of loyalties to their boss are sealed. They probably feel inferior so they empathize the kind of unity that you'd see in gangs of bygone days. Given the a;; this commotion... and the fact that neither Chisaki nor his top brass have shown themselves. They must be in the basement, preparing to hide everything or to escape." Aizawa yells which seems to push Eijiro over the edge.
"YOU CALL THAT LOYALTY!?!?! A REAL MAN WOULD NEVER PUSH ALL THE RESPONSIBILITY ON HIS HENCHMEN AND ESCAPE!" Eijiro shouts with rage which makes you crack a small smile at his values.
"DAMN STRAIGHT!" Fatgum chimes in.
"Here it is!," Sir Nighteye announces as your group approaches a shelf made into the wall with a vase on it. "Under the mechanism the is a switch to a hidden doorway. If we push one of these panels in a certain order the door will open."
The door starts to open so Bubblegirl and Centipeder exchange a few words then more gang members rush out.
"WHO THE FUCK'RE YOU!!" One of them yells as the three members try to attack but Centipeder and Bubblegirl swiftly take action and have the villains pinned down.
"I'LL MAKE SURE TO MAKE HIM BEHAVE; HE WON'T BE GIVING CHASE ANYTIME SOON! PLEASE GO ON WITHOUT ME! I'LL JOIN YOU SOON!" Bubblegirl yells to Sir Nighteye so he nods and runs through the door.
"LET'S GO!!" Sir Nighteye yells as he charges forward and Eijiro watches Bubblegirl with amazement.
"Wow...! That was fast!!," Eijiro says before looking at you. "I bet you'll be that awesome!!"
"IT'S NOT FAR NOW!! COME, HURRY!" Sir Nighteye calls to your group as you remain chasing after him but soon enough you all approach a dead end.
"Huh? What!? Did we take a wrong turn??" You yell as Eijiro looks around with confusion and panic.
"This was the only hall!!" Eijiro responds as Togata approaches the wall.
"I'LL TAKE A LOOK!" Togata announces as he charges through and Eijiro grabs you to cover your eyes.
"LEMILLION SENPAI! WAIT, YOU'LL LOSE ALL YOUR CLOTHES AGAIN!!" Eijiro yells so Amajiki sighs.
"Mirio's costume is lined with special fibers made with his hair. It's designed to be able to phase with him whenever he activates his quirk." Amajiki explains so Eijiro releases you and uncovers your eyes.
"THIS WALL WAS JUST PLACED HERE TO BLOCK US OFF! THOUGH, ITS VERY VERY THICK." Togata announces as everyone becomes tense with annoyance.
"IT'S AS GOOD AS TELLING US HE'D HATE IT IF WE WERE ABLE TO GET THERE!" Midoriya yells as he braces himself to attack the wall.
"YOU'RE RIGHT!," Eijiro yells as his quirk takes form and he slowly turns into stone. "THEY'RE TAKIN' US TOO LIGHTLY!! IF THEY THINK THIS'LL BE A HINDRANCE!!!"
Eijiro and Midoriya charge at the wall in unison and it is destroyed instantly. "WAIT- THE PATH!!" You yell as soon as you see it, the path as become a wavering land form and you are instantly crushed by confusion.
"Who could be making the path shift and twist like this!?," The man in charge questions. "It can't be Chisaki so this must be a new enemy!"
"If he got a reeaallly ginormous boost then it ain't outta the question... a quirk that allows the user to enter objects and control them freely... 'mimicry'! He slipped into the concrete that makes up the basement floor and became a living labyrinth!" Fatgum assesses before yelling a question to Aizawa and Aizawa yelling aresponse right back to him while you look around with wide eyes while trying to come up with a plan.
"If the pathway keeps changing then we'll never reach out goal and during that time they could come up with any number of escape routes! Dealing with this all instantaneously... deciding a course of action... ahh... its no good... I can't..." Amajiki speaks with a panicked tone as he begins to shake and his eyes become unreadable. "It won't only be the girl that we can't save. We also will be-"
"TAMAKI!!!" Togata yells to snap Amajiki out of his panicked state. "That's not gonna happen!! You are Suneater!"
Amajiki looks at Togata nervously and you exchange looks with Eijiro. "What are we going to do?" You wonder aloud.
"I'm not sure but we're gonna save Eri!! Don't worry about a thing (Y/N)!!" Eijiro tells you as he takes one of your hands and squeezes it tightly.
"I CAN GET THERE!!," Togata yells, earning astonished looks from everyone. "NOT TO MENTION THIS IS ALL A STOPGAP MEASURE! NO MATTER HOW MUCH HE WARPS THE PASSAGE, AS LONG AS I KNOW THE RIGHT DIRECTION I WILL MAKE IT!"
"SENPAI/LEMILLION!!" Midoriya and Sir Nighteye yell in unison as Togata begins to walk into the labyrinth.
"They're just buying time, cuz they know as well as we do that this is a race!," Togata says calmly as he walks away. "I'll go ahead!"
"MIRIO!" Amajiki yells anxiously as Togata steps through a wall which you watch closely with dismay because of the team being separated until suddenly stabbing pain fills your head and you fall to your knees with a cry as a blurred image of a injured man fills your senses then soon enough everything returns to normal and you are in a terrified Eijiro's arms.
"(Y/N)! (Y/N)! ARE YOU OK!?" Eijiro cries out with panic so you sit up and hold your head.
"Y-Yeah. I just got a really bad headache that's all." You respond, not knowing if you should say what you saw but you just put it off as stress pushing you to a panic attack or something of the sorts.
"There must be someone with a quirk trying to mess with our heads. We need to do our best to not allow ourselves to succumb to whatever the quirk is causing." Sir Nighteye tells everyone.
The floor under your group's feet starts wavering and soon enough you fall through the floor. "A phasing quirk, huh...? No way to stop him." The wall comments as Eijiro helps you up and you and your team watch as the way you fell closes up.
"THE WAY BACK UP!" Aizawa yells as another hero starts to starts to yell about being farther from the objective.
"Well, well, well, what do we got here? The authority of the government, fallen from the sky.," A voice echoes around the room as smoke of some kind fills it, you send your chains flying around with hope that you'll catch the enemy. "But stranger things have happened here."
The smoke recedes an the faces of your three enemies show. "Looks like your itchin' for an all out war here...! All right then I hope you pros'll show me their strength." Fatgum says as he hits his fists together and you precede to make a fist yourself.
"I'll show you the strength of a pro- To achieve our goal...!!! The only one who's needed to take down these time eating pawns...," Amajiki holds up his head a little bit higher as he speaks. "...Is me."
"What!?! I can help you!! You shouldn't be left alone!" You yell to Amajiki.
"These guys are only here to hold us up... I can handle this on my own." Amajiki responds, stirring Eijiro up.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!! LET'S WORK TOGETHER!!!" Eijiro shouts at Amajiki with a disappointed and anger tinged voice.
"Yeah, you heard them. Work together. I'll make quick work out of you all." The enemy taunts as his face becomes more crazed.
"IT'S SETSUNO! WE WON'T BE ABLE TO SHOOT WHEN THIS GUY IS AROUND!! HEROES WE LEAVE HIM TO YOU." The guy that you just realized you seriously don't know the name of yells to you guys so Setsuno dashes forward and you brace yourself for combat.
"The secret's out, eh? Oh well, doesn't matter. It just makes it that much easier... FOR ME TO RUN WILD!!" Setsuno yells as he positions his katana to strike someone.
"NOT IF I HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT IT! DROP THE SWORD!" Aizawa shouts just before Setsuno stops on the spot and looks at his hand with panic.
"Its not working!" Setsuno says as one of his partners watch him with a sweat drop.
"YOUR BLADES AND GUNS WON'T WORK ON ME!! THEY'LL SINK RIGHT INTO MY BODY! SO GIVE IT UP, FOR YOUR SAKE!!!" Fatgum yells, Setsuno and his comrades stand to the side seemingly shaken by the revelation of what is happening.
"EMPTY THREATS LIKE THAT ONLY WORK ON PEOPLE WHO HOLD THEIR LIVES DEAR!!" Setsuno yells to Fatgum in response.
"NOW THAT ERASER IS HOLDING THEM DOWN, OUR WEAPONS WILL WORK! ADMIT DEFEAT AND SURRENDER PROMPTLY!!!" The guy in charge pulls out a gun but soon enough a ball goes flying towards the bunch and Amajiki pops out to wrap a bunch of tentacles around the enemies.
"'Larceny', Setsuno. 'Chyrstalization', Hojo. 'Meal', Tabe.," Amajiki lands on the ground and takes the enemies' weapons away. "I'll be your next opponent."
"I ate my fill of Takoyaki at Fat's office so my octopus proficiency is at its peak... and now im extremely weary about weapons like these now that I've been shot once.," Amajiki is sweating by now but he crushes the weapons. "Its pointless to waste our time taking these guys head on. We've got plenty of pro heroes on the premises. This situation... its exactly what we wished for."
Setsuno starts laughing while you and Eijiro look at Amajiki feeling torn. "BUT AMAJIKI!!!!" Eijiro yells as he tries to change Amajiki's mind.
"SENPAI! REMEMBER MY QUIRK IS BEST FOR CATCHING PEOPLE!! I CAN HELP!!" You also attempt to change Amajiki's mind but his mind is set.
"THIS IS A CONTEST OF SPEED! WE CANNOT WASTE EVEN A SINGLE SECOND!!! YOU SHOULD KEEP THE PROS' QUIRKS IN RESERVE FOR WHAT IS TO COME, ESPECIALLY ERASER'S! YOU'LL ALSO NEED POWER TO BREAK THROUGH THE TWISTING UNDERGROUND PASSAGES! FATGUM! I CAN HANDLE THESE THREE MYSELF!!" Amajiki yells to Fatgum so he places his hands on your's and Eijiro's shoulders.
"LET'S GET A MOVE ON THROUGH THAT DOOR!" Fatgum yells as he tries to force you and Eijiro out of the door.
"ARE YOU SERIOUSLY LEAVING AMAJIKI BEHIND!?? ARE YOU CRAZY!!??" Eijiro yells at Fatgum while you consider joining in the lecturing until Fatgum explains himself and his faith in Amajiki.
'I hope Amajiki will be ok. I hope everything will be ok and most of all I hope we will make it to Eri in time.'
