TW: Mild bad language, violence, impalement

Word Count: 8501 (excluding Author’ Note ect.)

Time taken: 7 days

Summary: The end of the second Work Studies Arc

Author’s Note:

Before things start... I am an omnipotent body that can change the flow of the story if you so much as Go-Gos in my direction, so keep that to yourself. The original characters and base story beats were made by Horikoshi, I’m just relaying things in 1-B and making some changes to spruce things up.

Any correlation between the OCs and something else is a coincidence.

Hopefully you understand this before I piss you off in any way. Let me repeat that. This is my story; I am bored so I wanted to make something for fun, so fuck off if you get annoyed at me because I miss-measured the size of Re:Destro’s nose.

And before I forget, I’m writing this for my friends first so expect a few inside jokes that you won’t get.

So without further ado... I present the forty-fifth episode of Shenanigans In 1-B! WOO!

It was almost midday and some lower individuals within the Paranormal Liberation Front were busy doing their daily tasks, such as keeping the grounds of the mansion and beyond neat. Certain highest ranking individuals had their own rooms, if they were of a prestigious enough level. Judicator was one of those such people. She was sat thoughtfully, eating a large lunch; being four meters tall had its disadvantages. Finding peace and solitude for one minute in her now busy schedule was a commodity. A knock at the door alerted her.

"Enter." She wiped her mouth with a napkin. A man with black, close cut hair and the pattern of rings around his forearms entered. Orochi, her bodyguard; not that she needed one. "What is it?"

"Ma'am. The House of Suits has made another move. This time in Musutafu." He informed her. "Are you interested?"

"Not particularly. If things are going to change, we need to focus on that. Not on what a rag-tag group of clowns are doing."

"Miss Oetari, I recommend you look." Orochi came beside her and showed her the screen. It was a security camera somewhere in Musutafu. The audio relayed that the Villain group was causing more chaos.

"Yes, how sad. Anyway-"

"Look at who respond to it!"

"Oroshi, I swear-" She realised what he meant when she saw the individuals that responded. It was The Lurkers and the interns that were with them. One stood out, wearing a black bodysuit with purple linings. "Kakumeiso? That's my daughter." A tear came to her eye.

"Are you-"

"I am fine. Just happy, I had never thought that she'd be doing this sort of thing after we lost her ten years ago. And proud that too. You wouldn't get it." Oetari wiped her eye before standing up, looming over the others in the room. "This is live, I presume."

"Five minutes ago, yes." He followed her out of the room and into the large hallway.

"I shall ready my transport."

"Disguise? You're still technically arrested." The man reminded her.

"Right, right. Being fourteen feet tall isn't enough." Her body began to morph and shrink into itself, her facial features changing to hide her true appearance. Only her fierce, copper eyes and brown hair remained from her previous look.

"Do you need an escort?" Orochi asked cautiously, not too prepared to let his assigned lieutenant leave alone.

"No. Musutafu shouldn't be too difficult to reach by helicopter."

"I'll fly then. Just in case." Her bodyguard insisted, she continued on and out of the mansion. There was a nearby large pad with multiple helicopters, one of which she produced keys for and got into the enger seat, while Oroshi got into the driver's seat. They both put on headphones to not be deafened by the whirling helicopter blades and to speak to each other over them. The machine came to life and within a minute they had liftoff.

"We here in the studio have been eagerly awaiting for this game. All of our previous ones were to raise our ratings in the underworld, and as a previous performer for them, it's quite the stage." Jester laughed as he hosted the game, overlooking the action from the big screen. "Four bombs, each will go ^cablooie^! Does The Lurkers have what it takes to disarm them all in thirty minutes? Yes. Yes they do. Which is why I'm going to reduce that time down to twenty. Get a move on you lot! Lives are at stake!" The crazy man yelled into the screen at the Heroes. "I guess others could try and defuse the bombs, but they don't know the s! Now then, lets check in with the American and the Mentally Handicapped Shapeshifter."

"What did that guy just call me?" Kakumeiso looked to the screen, forming a small arm and flipped off the screen.

"Oh, that's not very nice." Was the response from the Villain.

"Are we just running down a street, or do you know where one is?" Kinzoku asked, struggling to keep up her Mei's speed.

"Of course I know where one is. I can sense it. Just allow me to find it faster!" She stopped on a dime and thrust her hands to the floor, placing her forehead against it as well.

"What are yo-"

"Shut up." She said emotionlessly.

"Sorry." Kakumeiso was looking for electrical signals through the ground, using electroreception; getting a scope of the surrounding infrastructure. Something pinged her attention.

"Found it." Turning to its direction, she braced her legs and jumped away, creating wings and gliding to a building.

"Seriously?!" He pursued her by floating the metal in his costume. They landed and Mei lifted the cover of a manhole. A device was inside.

"I don't know how to diffuse a bomb." Proteus itted, letting Alloy take the mantle.

"Luckily for us, I know a bomb resilient kaiju whose done this more than once. Godzillo! You there?" Kinzoku pressed his earpiece.

"Yeah, Brousu!" The swaggy reptile responded.

"Cool, where are you? We've found a bomb."

"I'm at this little shop, Charlied-Up Chocolates." He responded. "Bomb searching going well?"

"Why aren't you helping!?" Mineta screamed down the comms.

"Kid, I'm a four meter tall lizard with sunglasses and a Hawaiian floral print shirt. You think I'm going to be running down streets easily?" Godzillo made a very fair point. Though it wasn't very helpful.

"Just give us a sign to where you are. That shop is a branch of a brand. There's multiple in the city." Jade requested.

"I didn't know there was multiple." Mei whispered to Kinzoku, picking up the bomb casually.

"Hang on a second. You want a sign, I'll give you one." Within a few seconds, a bright beam blasted skywards, splitting a hole into the clouds.

"Okay then... Lurkers... Assemble!" Kinzoku announced, the pair of them immediately setting off at pace to get to the kaiju. Rounding the corner to where they presumed him to be, they saw some straggling evacuees rushing away even faster now that there was a giant lizard shooting a laser into the sky.

"It is great to know that it's not CGI they use in his movies." Jester commented from a crackling screen. They approached the Pro and he immediately turned to them with a smile.

"Okay, hand that here." He said, sitting down, hands extended to hold it. It was almost comical to watch. "Now what you want to do, is you pull this part out." He yanked an orange strip out of it, exposing wires. "And what I do, and what I've done, is I use my claws to clip the wires." He carefully sniffed the bomb and the wires, before flawlessly cutting the wires and put the bomb down. "There we go. All diffused. Do'ja have anymore bombs to diffuse, anyone?" He asked down the communications.

"No. Most of us don't have the capabilities to bomb hunt like a greyhound." Sero responded sarcastically.

"Well, no need to be mean about it." Godzillo folded his arms with what Mei and Kinzoku assumed was a pout.

"And it seems like the first bomb was diffused." Jester relayed once more the things that they were watching. "Five minutes has ed, and one bomb has been disarmed. You're going to fail if you take any longer." Gates was sat in the corner, one of his square holograms was displaying a feed of two students rushing through the streets.

"^These two aren't in your game.^" He swiped it the clown's way. The host looked at them.

"^These are U.A students too? They look it.^" Jester said, muting the microphone.

"^They are. Yui Kodai and Juzo Honenuki. Because the pair of you and Corpse are so adamant about castrating that child, I looked into him more. Tracked a mission and came up with this.^" He pressed a couple of holographic buttons. The screen changed to Kinzoku and the girl, Yui, at a restaurant somewhere. "^This was taken in September, when Alderon had that fight.^"

"^So she's a possible love interest for my little friend Brucey? Good. The more the merrier.^" Gates retracted the image just as 'Bloodstain' entered at hearing the conversation.

"^Gates, get me there. She'll get me face- to-face with him.^"

"^Not yet, why are you so impatient? Aye aye aye.^" Jester tutted. "^Do what you want when my game is done.^"

"^Fine.^" Stain 2.0 folded his arms and stood waiting.

"^I've been muted long enough.^ And your host is back, people. And what's this? Edgeshot has found something quite interesting indeed." Jester noted as he turned back to his screen.

Edgeshot was Naruto running on the side of a building because of course he was, something didn't feel quite right. One bomb had been found, which was great, but three others and they were expected to find them in now fourteen minutes? His allies were all scurrying through the streets, but who was to say that there wasn't any on top of something. Say, the tallest one in the district? Reaching said building, it was very clear something was very off. For a moment, it felt as if his body had ed through a film. Breaching the other side, the sky had gone completely red and from outside this weird zone, the building looked normal; but now it was twisted into a spiral.

The culprit made themselves known almost immediately, as when Edgeshot jumped from one building to another, in the brief gap between them a woman was approaching fast with a giant smile on her face.

^Lady Ghoul!^ He thought immediately, folding down in multiple places to avoid the barrage of glass she created and shot at him.

"^Edgeshot-honey!^" She said with joy.

^Of course. A time constricted bomb hunt isn't enough for them. I have to fight someone who gave Crust a hard time too.^ "I'm guessing there's a bomb here."

"I'm not gonna say. Let's just have fun!" Ghoul thrust her hand sideways and a red beam struck the top of a building. It glowed red momentarily, before it turned into an oozing liquid. "Red Room: Beast!" The liquid began to shift into something, and a four-legged beast was created. It rose it's spherical head and let out a roar, a set of spiked teeth was put on full display. Edgeshot had to balance looking for the bomb, dodging the projectiles and making sure not to fall into wherever the beast was going, now that it was climbing a wall to get to him.

Folding himself down and manoeuvring himself to fly, he did so with effort. Getting a penetrating shot on Lady Ghoul, her body began to fall, before it bloated and burst into butterflies. Dodging down at the last moment, he narrowly avoided the woman rushing over him with a large clawed hand extended, getting the hair covering his right eye cut away in the process.

^This sort of aerial combat reminds me of my fight in Alderon. So maybe the same strategy will work now?^ He thought hopefully, forming most of him body back together; still moving at high speeds with his Quirk and managed to get a flank on the searching Ghoul. Swiping his arm out in her direction, he folded it down into a blade, rather than a point and it worked. The beast jumped from the wall it had climbed onto to behind Lady Ghoul, taking the slash through the chest and fell to the floor, bursting apart on impact.

"Oh no!" She turned with a sadistic grin, the oozing floor came together again and more than one beast was formed. These ones had wings. "Anyway." They flew at him and the Villain made her way towards the twisted tower. Dodging through the now attacking beasts, Edgeshot decided enough was enough and folded each of his fingers down and shot them out. Every beast became riddled with holes and all fell. Hedging his bets that Ghoul was with the bomb, he zipped towards her and the tower. Something overhead caught his attention whilst he did it. The red sky was pulsating and was seemingly getting redder. Glass was sent his way and he slipped between the gaps, reaching her.

"Give it up." Was his warning to the sadist.

"Why? The bomb's here and so'm I. Can you beat me and diffuse the bomb?" The ground below them dipped inwards and jagged spikes surrounded them in a circle. Expecting something big, Edgeshot shot away, just as the area he'd been standing on folded into two quickly; as if it were a mouth. The light was blocked out from behind him and he turned his head, widening his eyes as the largest beast yet encroached with its mouth open, there wasn't any time to get away. He'd fallen straight into her trap.

"Hang on!" A feminine voice cried out, and a giant hand smashed the beast out of the air and into the waste of a floor. Mt. Lady had arrived and was sheltering him from any more attacks.

"Mt. Lady? Okay." Lady Ghoul snapped her fingers and the red sky began to drop glass blades onto them. The giantess had come prepared using a large and thick slab of concrete to block the oncoming hail. The sky's hue dimmed just as someone swung past, Kamui Woods had also ed the two Pros. "This is more like it! Please! Show me a good time!" Branches lashed out towards her as well as Edgeshot's folded body. The air shimmered red before a wall of crystal blocked the attacks. They provided enough of a vision block to allow for Mt. Lady to throw a mean punch straight through the floating crystal and into Ghoul's body, forcing her into the tower behind.

Edgeshot followed up by tensing his body as he folded himself at maximum speed, the glass near him shattered as the action broke the sound barrier and he shot himself towards the recovering Lady Ghoul; a deathly point shot through her lung and gave a decisive finish to the fight. The red glow that had encomed everything faded away as the red film around the woman also faded. The reality-warp afflicted buildings began to creak as the effect wore off, signalling that they had structural integrity damage. Next to the unconscious Lady Ghoul, was a rectangular in the wall. Kamui Woods removed it after he got next to Edgeshot and the Villain, revealing a bomb.

"This is Kamui Woods. We've located a second bomb." He spoke.

"Second? You mean third, right?" Godzillo asked. "Vibes and Rave Juice just got one to me. Weren't you listening in?"

"We were occupied." Was the Pro's response.

"Well, I haven't moved, and I hope you know where I am. Mt. Lady knows the difficulty of moving through streets that aren't built for you."

"All too well." The blonde Hero sighed, taking the bomb in one hand and her two allies in the other. Kamui Woods decided that he would be carrying the defeated Lady Ghoul in his vines because apparently there was no more room. "I saw the beam and I where. I'm on my way." With that, Mt. Lady has finally made herself useful in this story.

"It is unfortunate that my associate was defeated like that. Being outnumbered hardly counts as a fair fight. But they have the third bomb. The beautiful Vine and relatable Grape Juice found the second in the high street, and apparently found it under a clothing rack. I thought I hid that one quite well." Jester stated with a smile. "Let's turn back the clock as small bit and see what they did."

Ibara and Mineta were hurrying down the high street together, both on the lookout for anything suspicious. All of her vines were out and searching and he was bouncing up to the high points to try and find anything. They heard conversation over the communications and then saw a beam of energy going into the sky.

"That must be where Godzillo is." Mineta noted aloud.

"And Mei has found the first bomb. We mustn't hold our crusaders back, O' Fruity Pervert." Ibara responded, speeding up the manipulation of the vines. "I shall check higher up, so your scalp doesn't bleed itself out."

"Can I ask you something?" He looked to her concerned.

"Go ahead, I'm an open bible."

"You've been kinda different for these past few days. Did something happen?" The girl looked hesitant to return the conversation, but breathed.

"I'm... trying to figure things out for the moment. My heart longs for something my mind cannot accept." Were the words she decided on.

"Do you like someone?" Mineta asked without a hint of disappointment or jealousy.

"I... I do. And I told him how I felt before I began to push him away so I do not sin anymore." Her vines had extended all the way down the street and into the buildings.

"Well, I hope you find the answers you're looking for." He smiled as he turned away, laying on the floor to check under the clothing racks.

"I would have presumed that you'd be upset or something of the like at this subject. You certainly come off as such."

"Shiozaki-chan, we've been doing this Hero bis together since our week of experience in the first term. Sure, you're hot. Then again I say that about every girl. No, I just think we're friends at this point." He came clean about his behavioural revamp. "I am trying to become a better person... Plus I'm under the threat of having my books melted by Ashido-chan."

"I hope you find solace in your quest." Vine returned his smile, just two friends with odd hyper-fixations. *Eat your heart out Twitter.*

"Hang on a sec, I think I found it!" Pulling something out from within a rack, it was a cylinder with a plate on it. A clock was on the front of it. They knew it was a bomb because it had the word 'BOMB' stamped onto the outside, feeding them the information like a baby bird. *Kind of what some readers want.*

"We shall go back to the Hell Lizard to allow him to fix this glaring issue." Vine instructed within a second, and they hurried off back to where they saw the beam coming from. Godzillo was literally twiddling his thumbs in boredom, seeing them with the bomb, he immediately gave them what was hopefully a smile.

"^Yo.^ You got a bomb for me? Give it here then, kids." He reached down and plucked the device out of Ibara's vines. Quickly fiddling with it, he put it next to the first one. "Two down, two more to go. Halfway there folks!"

"Cool. We're on the lookout for any bombs in the... which area is this?" Jade asked likely Sero, who had gone off with her.

"The... nightclub area... I think these are nightclubs at least." He responded to them.

"Copy that. I'll make my way over to the pair of you." Kakumeiso informed them.

"Triple Pros, how're you doing?" Godzillo asked the three of The Lurkers. There was no response.

"They went towards the tallest thing nearby, but nothing after that." Mineta stated.

"Hopefully they're alright. This is the House of Suits we're talking about." Ibara made a small prayer for them. "What should we do now?"

"Probably continue looking for the last two bombs." Kinzoku told them through their earpieces. "We found ours in a random manhole, so they can really be anywhere."

"I'll just stay here and wait for you guys to find them, the streets aren't made for me." Godzillo sat down, leaning back on his hands.

^He could probably eat me without a problem.^ Mineta thought concernedly.

"And that is the end of the recap!" Jester informed. With the final bomb being searched for, it is on Cellophane and Illusioneer to find it. And where do you think I hid it?" The man addressed the audience that was maybe watching from somewhere.

"^In the bathhouses.^" Gates said boredly, throwing up some of his information squares to read as he listened to Jester's presentation. An alert came up and he checked it. Apparently an untracked helicopter was approaching from kilometres away, nothing to worry about for the moment, but definitely something to be cautious about considering the four of them were in Musutafu to pull of their little stunt. "^I don't know why there's one there, maybe it's the most awkward one to get, but it was certainly the worst one to get in. You owe me for that and this whole thing.^"

"^Yes yes, add that to the ever growing list Gates.^" The two comrades joked as if they were not playing with people's lives.

"^Fourty-seven and counting.^"

"^Damn. I boss you around, don't I?^"

"^I tolerate it as leader.^" The newly revealed leader stated with his retained boredom, fiddling with his holograms.

"Now, back to our regulatory program. Can Cellophane and Illusioneer find the bomb?"

Jade and Sero were hurrying down streets, trying to find any hints as to where an apparently cylindrical object with the word 'BOMB' plastered onto it would be placed. The others had been in somewhat tedious locations to find. The top of a tower, in a manhole, Uniqlo in general. Lady Ghoul had also been apprehended by The Lurkers, so the three of them and Godzillo were stuck watching over her. Someone ran past them, looking worried. The streets had been cleared as of the announcement because a bomb threat wasn't anything good. The sound of swooping caught their attention and Kakumeiso dropped down from the air in front of them.

"The bomb's probably around here." She informed them.

"Really? But this is the bathhouse area. Not someplace where you can just... drop a bomb and be done with it." Sero stated aloud, scratching the back of his head in confusion.

"It can be if the people placing them can create portals." Jade reminded him.

^Shit, got me there.^ The guy thought, they watched as Genyu put her hands and forehead to the floor.

^Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, wiring, telephone poles, neon lights, normal lights, car battery, bomb! Gotcha!^ She immediately hoped up and looked in the direction of it. "Fourth meters in that direction. Which puts it inside one of these places."

^That was lucky.^ Sero continued to think.

"Oh... great." Jade slumped her shoulders. The three of them found the one it was located in and entered. A receptionist that clearly had either no value for their life or didn't know the place was going to fucking explode in five minutes.

"Hello, would you like a room today?" He asked.

"No time, there's a bomb in one of your rooms." Mei stated evenly as she walked past and into a corridor.

"What...?"

"Sorry." Jade apologised following her junior.

"There is a bomb, so maybe get outta here." Sero warned. The three of them trouped through the bathhouse looking for the right room. It was a pretty fancy looking building, and it was a shame when Proteus kicked a door down unexpectedly. The people inside let out screams as the tall girl entered.

"Someone call a Hero!" One of them screamed.

"I am a Hero. And there is a bomb under this floor plank." She yanked a slightly uprooted plank in the floor up and took out the device. "Apologies for the interruption." Bowing with her eyes closed, they immediately left the room and the building.

"How much longer do we have until it blows?" Sero asked worriedly. They looked to the ticking timer.

'2:21' They then looked between them before Kakumeiso picked up the pair of them and threw them over a new set of arms. She began to sprint down the streets to get to Godzillo.

^AAAAARRRGGGGGHHHH^ Sero mentally screamed as his body bounced all over the place on Mei's new shoulder.

"You'll get used to it." Came a disembodied voice. A mouth had appeared on Proteus's nape and the hair around it had parted.

"Genyu-kun?" Jade asked curiously.

"Just got a bit bored watching from the sidelines. Mei, I'm taking over when this is done." The mouth instructed the girl.

"Go for it. I want to sleep anyway." She smiled in response, steam blew off one of her one free lower hand and it transformed into a deadly looking claw. Using it as a pivot to turn a corner quickly and allowed her to retain her momentum, Godzillo saw them coming, alongside Edgeshot, Kamui Woods and Mt. Lady.

"We don't have much time! Godzillo!" Jade yelled to him from her less than ideal position. Proteus handed the bomb over and the giant reptile dealt with it in seconds, it was then put with the other bombs in a pile.

"And that would be four." The guy stared, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"What?! You finished the game even with a tighter time constraint?" Jester asked through the screens in apparent awe. "Well, that was pretty fun, right? A good old searching quest."

"Not half bad. Had me sweating." Kakumeiso pumped her arm in circles.

"That's good. A game's only as good as the people enjoyment of it. Now then. I'm going to leave. Too much screen time is bad for you, you know? Plus, I'm getting out of Musutafu before you catch a whiff of my location. Toodles!" The screens all cut to black and the regular showings began to play again.

"He was here?!" Sero asked, sounding a mixture of frightened and surprised. Kinzoku finally managed to show up after missing the final bomb being deactivated.

"I guess it's over now." He scratched the back of his head, looking around. "Don't we need to tie her up?" The student pointed at Lady Ghoul.

"You want to get near the psychopath? Also, where's Shiozaki-chan and Mineta-kun?" Jade asked them.

"They said they were going bomb hunting after they brought back their one. They're probably just finding their way back to us. When that happens, we can call it a wrap for today. I'm sure you don't want to stick around for the boring paperwork." Godzillo waved off their concern, before feeling something crawl down his spine. ^What the hell is this feeling? We won, right? Why does it feel like something's horribly wrong?^

"Something wrong?" Kamui Woods asked him, they couldn't see his face under his costume but they assumed it was concern.

"I don't know. I suddenly had this horrible feeling. We should keep our guards up just in case something pops up."

"Seconded. We can never be too careful with this lot of Villains." Edgeshot nodded. Huffing caught their attention and the two missing students found their way back.

"We win! Yay." Mineta doubled over and huffed.

"Congratulations, everyone." Ibara stated happily, looking quite sweaty, as if she'd been running for a while.

"How about we start ing the authorities and get Lady Ghoul out of here. Much too dangerous to be left unchained." Edgeshot commanded them, Vine knew what was being indirectly asked of her, and her vines were quickly around the woman.

"Two minutes." Jade spoke up, looking off into the distance.

"Two minutes for what?" Godzillo leaned in.

"Two minutes is my Quirk's duration once I stop looking their way. And... I can track them through it." She dramatically turned their way.

"Why are you telling us this now?" Mt Lady asked, bringing a finger to her chin briefly before coming to the realisation. "You know where they are?!"

"Yes. One mile, that way." She rose a finger and pointed her finger to a non descriptive building.

"I didn't know that your Quirk worked through screens." Sero said surprised, watching as Kakumeiso hunched over and wings grew from her back.

"There's a lot you don't know about me." Jade said as Kinzoku and Kakumeiso shot into the air towards the building.

"I hate it when they do that." Edgeshot sighed, before folding down and following them.

"What are we waiting for? Let's get moving!" Kamui Woods instructed.

/-/

"^So... when are we going to leave?^" Jester asked Gates, pulling a knife out of his body and casually looked at it.

"^When Ghoul gets back.^" Was the response.

"^But she was captured.^"

"^I know that. I trust that she'll return in due time.^"

"^She was taken out by Edgeshot!^"

"^Do you believe that?^" Gates looked to his comrade distastefully. "^As crazy as she is, she isn't an idiot.^"

"^Whatever. Ugh, my head hurts. I think I need a drink.^" Jester went over to a barrel they had in their room and poured a drink for himself.

"^Water or vodka.^"

"^Both.^" At that moment, 'Bloodstain' reentered, looking seemingly displeased.

"^Now that the game's over, make a gateway out there so I can do my thing.^" He demanded.

"^Fucking hell. Sure. If you get injured, you're patching yourself up.^" Gates sighed, holding his hand out. A few seconds later, a hole was torn into Space, allowing for Blood Boy to go through. It closed the moment he was gone. "^Impatient much?^"

"^Can you blame him? He just wants to hurt a child.^" The clown opened his arms, as if he were declaring something genius.

"^Yeah well-^" A beeping caught their attention. "^That's the motion sensor. Which one?^" The blonde man brought up one of his holograms. It was a map of the area, a line of glowing dots showed the trips. "^Coming this way, and fast.^"

"^Then let's go.^" Jester said immediately, already packing things up.

"^No time.^" Gates clicked a button in his pocket and seemingly disappeared.

"Oh, c'mon!" At that moment, the wall to the outside burst down. A girl with long black and white hair was stood in the hole. A black bodysuit covered her curvy body. A pair of magenta eyes bore into the Villain. "Hello there." Metal wires came from behind her, signifying that she definitely was not alone. ^^Oh shit.^^

"That was a fun game we played." She took a step in, her feet clomping onto the floor, the wooden boards creaked. "Should we play another?"

"No thank you." Jester shook her head, taking a few steps backwards, towards a table. The girl followed his steps. Another got into the hole. "Ah! Brucey! Glad you could me." Brucey glared at him with hatred unseen from him before.

"Jester..." He growled, already preparing himself to exact revenge.

"Hold it, Alloy. We need to ensure we capture him." Proteus looked sideways towards her ally. Taking the opportunity, Jester's facade broke immediately and he balled his fist against the table. Swinging his arm out, a long blade was drawn from it out of nowhere. What would have been a critical hit again her throat, was caught by the girl.

"Ouch." She placed a thumb against the flat of it. Tensing her muscles, the tip of it snapped off. *One of the biggest 'you ain't shit moves you can pull on a blade .*

"I have a lot to say to you." Brucey's fists were shaking, but he steeled himself with a breath. ^Calm down, Burusu. C'mon. You learned from last time you lost your temper. Koukai wouldn't want this.^ "We're taking you in."

"You can try. If your dear brother couldn't do it, what makes you think you can?" The evil-doer cackled.

"You lost against him. And with her by my side, you won't get away with the same trick." Kinzoku made his way forward as Genyu continued to break the blade down. "So we'll take you in."

"Oh... fuck off grasshopper." Multiple knives shot out from him and threatened to impale the pair of them. Each one stopped in midair, frozen in a sort of stasis.

"Metal Burst." The American student held a hand up, a greyish-silver glow emanated from his palm. The metal in the room all vibrated in resonance with one another, before melding down into a liquid-esque state.

"We warned you." Steam warped off Genyu's forearms and bone tendrils grew out. Kinzoku formed the metal into wires. Before they made their move to capture Jester, Proteus felt the air shift ever so slightly, in a way that didn't make sense in their circumstance. Acting purely on instinct, she pushed Alloy aside as Lady Ghoul appears in a wave of red energy. A large, great sword style glass shard was plunged into and through the centre of Genyu's gut.

"Mei!" Kinzoku yelled out in horror. The impaled student put a hand on the blade and looked down to the Villain.

"You should've... you should..." Her eyes hardened and she rose an arm. "You should have gone for the head."

"You're right." Ghoul let go of the sword and formed another, about to swing, before wires bound her arms to her sides. Wires also immediately wrapped around Jester simultaneously.

"Genyu-chan!" Kinzoku rushed to her side, as Genyu took a staggered step forward. The blade fizzled away and blood began to pool from the wound.

"You're welcome." Were her words, Proteus's legs gave out and she collapsed forwards, being caught by him. He noticed how her gut began to glow slightly.

"Darn... I was trying to impale you, Mr Special Boy. Getting the drop on both the Kinzoku boys was something I couldn't up!" Lady Ghoul taunted with a cruel laugh, she released a rough gasp as the wires tightened their hold on the Villains.

"We're only letting you do this." J. Dog managed. "Do you think think that you can succeed where Koukai failed?"

"Don't say his name." Was the response.

"Why not? He lost. He let his guard down and got captured. It was his own fault. And you let yours down too... again. And yet again, another girl gets severely wounded because of it; this time... it could quite possibly be fatal. You should have learnt your lesson after your precious Yui Kodai lost her hand!" The crazed loonie continued on with trying to break him.

"Why... Why did you say that name!?" A spear was formed and Alloy pressed the now laughing Villain into the floor, his boot on his chest and the spearhead at his face.

"You might want to save her. She's here, in Musutafu! We may or may not have sent someone to go meet her." The weapon was wavering as the student thought on that. "But then again, we might not have." Kinzoku's phone started to ring. "You might want to take that." He wasn't given a choice as the wires all turned red and blew away as a red sand. Ghoul grabbed Jester and hauled ass through a wormhole, the pair of them laughing like maniacs as they did so. Answering the phone as he slid to Genyu's side, he heard the panicked voice of Kodai.

"Burusu! This Villain's attacked us, demanding you arrive! He's got a gun and Honenuki-kun's down!" She cried out to him. "He says he'll pull the trigger if you don't!"

"Where are you?" He looked over the wound, blood had stopped leaking, but it might have been too late. She gave a wheeze and blood splurted from her mouth. Edgeshot chose both the best and worst time to arrive.

"Downtown Musutafu." She returned.

"Of course." Kinzoku got up, hanging up and went to the hole in the wall ed Edgeshot.

"What happened to Proteus?!" The Pro asked horrified that something like that had happened under his watch.

"Stabbed by Lady Ghoul, she's still alive. Please. Get her help. I can't have her die because of me." With that, he jumped out of the wall and flew away on his metal.

"Proteus." Edge crouched down next to her.

"Edge...shot?" Kakumeiso said weakly.

"I'm here."

"I have to tell you something..."

"I'm listening." The Pro sighed at hearing what she said.

"What's 'sawcon'?"

"Sawcon deez nuts for believing this farce." She sat up without effort, the gash closed itself as steam came from her. "I've have much worse."

"I did believe it for a second." Edge helped her up with a hand. "Where did he go off to?"

"No clue."

"^Come on, Kakumeiso Genyu. You're strong. You'll make it through.^" Burusu muttered to himself as he flew as fast as he could. Downtown was the same place as last time one of his classmates had been attacked, it could quite possibly be the same Villain. The sounds of yelling caught his attention, and he zoned in on what was making the noise. Hovering a few tens of meters over the street, he people hurrying away from somewhere; so the natural response was to follow exactly where they were not going. The sounds got louder and he saw Yui barely fending off again a Villain. It was apparently the same one that Sen, Tsubara and Kamakiri had fought, they matched the description at least. Falling down at speed, he landed just in front of Yui; a shield before them.

"It's sexist to shield a woman in that way." The Villain mocked, a sword being drawn.

"Get away from her." Burusu growled, a chuckle escaped the Villain.

"Or what? I would just be another instance of you failing to protect someone. For an aspiring Hero, that's quite appalling."

"Shut up. I don't want to listen to your group's incessant rambling all the time. Just what the hell do you want from me!?"

"Wouldn't you like to know." The man, presumably 'Bloodstain' took a step forwards. Yui tugged Burusu back an equal step, he slid her some small metal fragments behind himself.

"He can hit you from there." She said firmly. "Let's play this safe."

"I'm not going to let my guard down. Not again. I'll finish the job as fast as possible!" He threw his hand out, the fragments all shot towards the Villain. Yui put her fingers together and they enlarged to many multiple times their original size. Bloodstain swiped his free hand out and five lines of air hit the fragments. ^Five things moved there. So five second attacks. Crazy.^

Not letting up, Burusu controlled the metal to continue its attack. Melding it together into a large blob and splitting it apart. It was then that he noticed Honenuki leaning against the wall, not moving. He had to be moved, but they couldn't risk being stabbed by some sharp air, so the two of them had to be conservative in their movements.

^This is like our fight with Maranbu. Wind blades and weapons. But no blood. This should be easier.^ Yui thought, a rock under the Villain's feet grew out, knocking him off balance. Burusu shaped the metal into arrows and fired them off. 'Stain 2.0' blocked them with an arm and dashed forwards, Yui was pushed back as Burusu leapt in to block. The two guys clashed swords, but the student was pushed back almost immediately. Apparently having a mechanic suit gives you machine-like strength. *Who knew?*

Managing to stand his ground, Burusu dug his heels and pushed with everything he had, finding a minute touch against the opposing blade; it immediately warped down into a ball.

"Metal Burst!" He yelled, the full twenty meter radius rattled every metal object. Bloodstain seemed to be stuck still from it, allowing for Yui to throw multiple stones into the air and enlarge them for a hail of rocks. None of which took him down and the encroaching metal threatened to encase him quickly, but a grunt was made and a fast coming, right hand clobber bashed Burusu into a wall.

"Shit." Yui threw a fast pitched pebble that grew on command. It was punched by the man and it crumbled away, the mechanical suit pulling its weight. The unsteady student managed to get to his feet, but the attack had taken its toll on him. The member of the Villain group drew his second sword and rose it, going to slash the scar on Burusu's face. ^No. Not again! I'll save you!^

Yui thrust her hand out as she began to try and aid him, and a tiny red glow shimmered on her empty palm slightly, before a plume of air knocked the man away.

"Yui?" Her friend looked to her surprised, she was also surprised.

"What the?" 'Stain But Again' asked rhetorically to himself. "You shrink and grow objects- oh. I see." He sheathed his sword. "I don't get it, but U.A students always pull something out of your asses against me." A smoke bomb was thrown into the floor and the sound of rapid footsteps followed. The sounds of a helicopter approached from the distance.

"Hopefully the police can catch him. Did you call them as well?" Burusu asked, holding the side of his head in case it was bleeding.

"No. But are you okay?" Yui asked getting him to remove his hand from his head, a stain of blood had matted his hair.

"That's not good." He watched as Yui grew some bandages and sat him down, kneeling herself; then began wrapping them around his head.

"These bleed a lot, but they also clot quickly too so you don't lose too much." She told him, carefully wrapping him.

"I might also have a concussion."

"Probably."

"Yui?"

"Mm?"

"I'm sorry that the pair of you got hurt because of me." Burusu looked towards the ground in guilt.

"Mm."

"And I know it's not the first time either."

"I know."

"I'm sorry about that too."

"Okay." Burusu took a guess he was in her bad books.

"Are you angry?" He asked, hoping that she wasn't; but it was completely warranted if she was.

"A bit." Yui itted, finishing up with the bandage. "Your head swelled a bit and it's probably tender."

"Alright, I think we should help Honenuki-kun too." They went over to their unconscious friend. "Why were you in Musutafu in the first place? I thought you operated nearer Tokyo."

"We do. But we needed to make a pit stop here, then that game happened and we were attacked. Our mentor is somewhere, again." The pair looked over Honenuki. It seemef like he was just knocked-out. So nothing too major.

^^You're alone with her, Bruce. Say something. But this might not be the best time.^^ He thought somewhat selfishly, like he hadn't just endangered her again. ^^Start off somewhere relevant.^^ "Hey, when I fought off Touten-kun and Roux-chan?"

"Mhm." She looked to him sideways and nodded.

"Touten-kun asked me what my taste in women was."

^Is he doing this now?!^ Yui thought in a small panic. ^I haven't decided yet!^

"I didn't respond... because I couldn't form what it was on the spot. That and it would have made me sound bad on the screen."

"Of course."

"But I feel confident enough to say what it is. Black hair, blue eyes and a cute cap." He narrowed down all possible suspects that they knew of to one.

"Okay." Was the only response.

"I-it is you, you know?"

"I know. You're very obvious about how you feel." Yui gave him a blunt response to his confession, not expressing any emotion.

"So... uh... can we follow up with what we spoke about at Hades? Get to know each other better?" There was no response. "Yui?"

"I... I don't know." She responded. "I want to, but I don't at the same time. I know that you don't mean to, but being involved with you's hurt me a lot." There was no elaboration needed for the pair to know about the egregious wound she'd received in September. "And how do I know you're not just asking me to smooth things like what just happened over?"

"Because I mean it. I do really like you. I get that it's just a bad time to say it."

"Prove it. If you mean it." A blank face crossed Burusu's visage.

^^Prove it? How? ...got it.^^ "I doubt you Christmas much. So give me a chance."

"At what?"

"This." He leant down and pecked her mouth. There was a visible reaction from the usually stoic girl. A pink tinge crept onto her cheeks. "You kinda kissed me on Christmas, so that's payback." A harsh breath was given in response, possible frustration at being pushed into a corner.

"Sure. Fine. But I don't want anymore life-threatening situations because of you." Yui put her hands on her hips.

"I don't think that's in my control."

"Promise or you're never leaving the friendzone." She extended out her pinkie finger, after a moment of 'what?' from Burusu, he linked his pinkie.

"So are we a thing now?"

"No. Just on our way."

"Okay." The earpiece in his ear squealed, earning his reluctant attention.

"Alloy, wherever the heck you've gone, we kinda need you back. Things are moving on." Came Kamui Wood's voice.

"I have to go, I'm needed. Can we talk back at U.A?" He asked hopefully.

"If I'm not drinking with Manga." She responded with an almost invisible sly smile.

Things finished up quickly after Kinzoku flew back to them. He was chewed out greatly for just abandoning an injured person. There would have been a more severe punishment if it hadn't been Kakumeiso; who was fully capable of healing a stab to the gut. There hadn't been any casualties except the infrastructure to the buildings affected by Lady Ghoul, which made for some cool looking scenery in the concrete jungle. There had been apparent word from the ridiculed student about the police coming in a helicopter, however, when the actual police arrived to safely dispatch of the bombs, there wasn't meant to be a chopper coming; since there was no-one in need of an air recovery. It left them wondering for a few seconds. Who was in the helicopter?

Bloodstain was sat on the edge of a tower, legs dangling off the side carelessly. His allies had scampered off somewhere leaving him for the time being, even else he'd specifically requested for a teleport. Losing himself in thought, he pondered over why the two random children had suddenly gotten stronger in an instant. It wasn't like he was pushing them to their limits or anything. The constant drone of a helicopter had rung on for the better part of an hour, and he could see it. Gates had said that an uned craft was approaching, it appeared that this one was it.

Under his helmet, something beeped, alerting him of something incoming. A great crash happened behind him. Turning with two guns drawn, he met eyes with a woman. Compared to some of the freaks walking around in society, she looked quite normal... except for the fact that she was four meters tall. For some reason, a sense of dread began to set into him, just looking at this giant made his arms tremble slightly. Her presence seemed regal. Physically speaking, aside from her immense height, she had multiple heartbeats, inhuman muscles, bones covering her body and likely weighed more than a ton.

"It's rude to aim guns at a woman." She said coldly, not showing any fear of them. "I saw your little squabble with those children, and your band's little game of fetch. Do you really think that things of that low of a calibre can change things?"

"We don't want to change anything. Just revel in the chaos." The woman took a step forwards, entering his area of effect. His fingers tightened on the triggers.

"So you just lash out at everything? Power with no direction is nothing but a whim." Not going to be insulted to the face, Bloodstain pulled the triggers multiple times. What should have been fatal blows, seemed to just get stuck into her body. The second attacks hit her from behind.

"You actually went through with your threat. Not bad." Was all the woman said, the holes began to fills themselves in and the rounds dropped to the floor. With barely a chance to react, a large arm swept him off his feet and picked him up. "But an errand boy isn't worth my time."

^Oh shit.^ At that moment, Gates finally chose to open a portal, but it was a pretty bad time because he was currently being held like a toy by a giantess; whose eyes were fixed on the portal.

"Right on schedule." Was all she said as she strode on through, shrinking her legs to fit. Coming out into a large cavernous area, the other three off the House of Suits was looking towards them. Ghoul was immediately into action at seeing the new enemy. "So this is where you hide." Bloodstain made a sound as he was dropped and the woman's legs returned to their normal height. Seeing Gates's hand moving, a tendril of bone bubbled from her arm and threatened to impale him. "Keep it open."

"Who the hell are you?" Jester asked, drawing knives out of his clothes. The ground turned red as Lady Ghoul began her Quirk usage.

"I am Judicator. And I would like to have a word with you four." Judicator announced. "You've recently been doing shenanigans here in Japan. You've been overlooked for the most part. But you made one fatal mistake."

"We planned everything perfectly. What kind of mistake could we have made?" Gates asked, eying the bones.

"Involving my daughter into your pitiful games and impaling her through the stomach." The area went cold as the people in question looked between themselves.

"^Oh shit. I fucked up.^" Lady Ghoul realised.

"^Ya think? That chick is dangerous!^" Jester hissed back.

"^Do not insult my daughter!^" Judicator boomed, her voice echoing throughout the cave.

"Oh yeah? And what'll you do about it?!" Ghoul jumped at her, a horde of spikes before her. It seemed not to bother the target, who simply rose an arm and it violently erupted into flesh, muscle and bone. The crazed assailant was completely trapped within a ball of human parts. A single hole seemed to give her air. "And that's your best fighter captured." The red floor erupted into a large monster, bearing down at the woman. The response was just a swing of the capture arm, blasting the head off the beast and reducing it to mush. Trying to get the jump on the distracted enemy, Bloodstain had a sword drawn and swung in a moment... which was caught. "Like mother, like daughter." The blade was sapped into pieces slowly while the rest just watched, helpless.

"I think we should just comply." Jester suggested with a smile.

"There isn't much to comply with. Only, if you involve my daughter into one of your games again, I'll kill all of you without hesitation." With that, Judicator released Ghoul and left through the portal as if she hadn't just pulled one of the biggest 'you ain't shit' moments seen in this story. *Even bigger than the previous one this chapter.*
