《The Underworlds Hero》The Underground Frenzy

Before we begin, the guy up above will be what Guradieta looks like. Enjoy.
A few days passed since Hagakure told us how to find one of the major targets we're hunting down and details on where to go for a date and time. Now came the real issue. He knew who we are and what we look like most likely. "So what's your plan on Friday Ichan?" I started to stir my soup around while thinking of the best way to handle this. "Don't know yet. We storm in there, and we'll just be causing more issues than we should." "That's even if the fighters in there let us anywhere near Guradieta to stop him." "Kendo's got a point. We can't be too hasty with this, but this could be one of our only chances to stop one of All Might's major players such as him." I kept thinking about the best course of action we could do in regards to what Momo said to feel a tap on my shoulder. Looking over, I noticed it was Kirishima and Inasa behind me. "Dude, what's going on with you?" "Yeah, you've been kinda to yourself since the USJ. Maybe we can help?"
I sighed a bit before asking them to sit. "To make a long story short, I'm doing some stuff that people would debate is illegal. But it isn't since we have authorization." They didn't get what I was meaning before I spoke up. "We're going after All Might." "*PFFT* ARE YOU INSANE!?" "That's like a freaking suicide man! You'd be better off jumping off Tokyo Tower or offing yourself in Suicide Forest(look it up if you don't know)!" "I know, but he needs to be stopped. At the moment, he's in a weakened state due to my father's fight. For now he can only handle so long out in the world, but that can change at the drop of a hat with the type of people he knows. If he returns to full health which I can almost guarantee he's working towards, then nobody is safe." "But you're going after a psychopath man. That's the dangerous part in all this." "Kirishima's right. What even makes you certain you'll win against him even in a weakened state?" "Whether I win or not is irrelevant. Cutting of parts of his roots in the underworld will isolate him so I can take him down when he uses his max time. When this happens, I'll be able to take him down and end a vicious cycle my father started."
Both looked at me as if I was crazy. "I can't let you do this Midoribro." "Kirishima's right. Going after that villain is like trying to kill yourself. Then again, we wouldn't be in a better case if All Might recovered fully." Both sighed before asking. "Any chance you can bring us on board?" "Wait, why?" Inasa and Kirishima looked at me like I was a complete idiot. "We're bros man, so we help each other." "Also you could use some extra muscle if needed." Inasa punched his palm to prove a point before a lightbulb went off in my head. "You know something, I've got a job that's right up both your alleys." I wrote down my address before standing up to place my trash in the garbage and pick up Eri who should be almost done with lunch in Recovery Girl's office. "Meet me at this address after school and I'll explain what it is." I walked out of the lunch room with some confidence knowing that I may just have the best plan in order to do this.

Once school let out, I had Inasa and Kirishima join us at my home for us to discuss the plan with everyone there. "So this is your place huh? Nice." Kirishima looked around while Inasa spotted Eri hiding behind my leg. "Well hello there. Are you Midoriya's sister?" She hid behind me completely afraid of the large guy. "It's ok Eri. Inasa's a good guy. A little on the weird side, but he's still a good person." She slowly tilted her head out to have one of her eyes look at Inasa. "H-hello." "Aren't you adorable." Inasa was quickly knocked to the floor by Dabi and everyone else walking in. "Sup Midoriya." Dabi looked down to see the guy he just knocked over to question about him. "Who's the baldy on the floor?" "Says the guy that looks like a burnt chicken nugget! And I have hair!" He points to his head with Dabi completely ignoring him and sitting down. Eri soon got on the couch beside him to stare at the guy curious about him.
"Are we missing anyone?" Mr. Aizawa came in with Ryukyu and Fatgum to finish off having everyone from the League in the room. "You three finish up. Now let's get down to business." I pulled out a board with a picture of a guy with red skin on his body. "This is Guradieta. He's one of All Might's major men in charge of finding suitable foot soldiers. Some of his major successes were the Curator, Bear Head, and a villain by the name of Volcano." "Wait, so this guy was able to find most of the freakshows of that Wild Villains group?" I nodded at Jirou as I continued. "The part of this that makes him even more dangerous is the fact that he's not an easy person to pin down. All the underground fighting tournaments he has are for those in the loop. If you don't know anyone in the loop, you won't find him so easily." "So how do we know this shitrag's gonna be her-" Kaachan had a smack over the head by Toga who pointed to Eri. "There's a child here, watch your mouth!" I held the urge to laugh while answering Kaachan's question. "Supposedly this one is a big one. They're trying to find a replacement for the Wild Villains and Wolfram. If they succeed, all the work we did to cripple All Might so far would be wasted."
Jin was the next to raise his hand. "So what's the plan?" "The plan is we use our new members to go into the tournament as contenders to draw out Guradieta. The place will be crawling with back alley fighters, so barging in right off the bat would one be suicidal and two risk us losing our target. But if the contenders were almost completely wiped out, then that would make coming in to take down our target easier with minimal enemies we have to fight." Kirishima smirked while holding his fist in the air. "Alright! If it's a fight you need, I'm your guy!" "That may not be as easily done as you think Kirishima. These underground matches are death matches. Either you live or die. That's one fatal flaw with this idea and you may not come out of this with clean hands by the time all's said and done." "So back to the plan. Is anyone other than these two going in?" Stain asked for me to get back to the topic. "The three going in will be myself, Inasa, and Kirishima. The rest of you will be on standby in a building across an alley from the warehouse this is taking place at."

"Wait a second. I thought Hagakure told us she blabbed all the intel about our group and our members before Kirishima and Inasa to All Might." "Maybe Ochako, but there's more than one way to get in there and the answer is sitting on Kaachan's lap." Everyone looked at Toga for her to look at me. "What?" "Your quirk is how I'll get in. For the timespan of this mission, I'll need to borrow it. I'm sorry about this, but we don't have significant options." "Wait, so you'll have to take mine? Wouldn't people find out something's off with my quirk when you take it?" "Considering your quirk is more for stealth and intelligence gathering, I doubt you'll make enough people raise a red flag from now to the end of the mission." Ryukyu says this for me to continue. "In addition to taking your quirk, I'll replace it with a strength enhancer I have so you'll be able to defend yourself a bit more during this mission. We're dealing with brawlers, not sneaky jerks as much." "Leave that to me Kurogiri. I have someone that owes me a favor in the hero industry for a few saves sometime back." Nighteye says this for us to go over some more rudimentary parts of the plan that we'd need to know.
Kirishima and Inasa began walking down the streets of Kamino in street attire that made them look the part of a back alley thug to the populous. Once near the alley they were supposed to enter through for the match, they were stopped by a person in the alley before. "Inasa. Kirishima. Over here." They looked into the alley to see a woman in blue with some street clothes on.
"Wait, is that you Bubble Girl." "No way! Nighteye's assistant!?" "Dude, this is awesom-" "I'M NOT BUBBLE GIRL YOU IDIOTS! IT'S ME! MIDORIYA!" Both guys obtained a punch to their skulls to realize it was Izuku using Toga's quirk. "Wait, why did you transform into Bubble Girl?" "This was the best blood Nighteye could come up with that wouldn't raise enough red flags." Inasa was trying to say something, but he was a little tongue tied. Finally, Kirishima spoke up. "So uh...is down there.....her body too-" "GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE GUTTER PERV!" Izuku gave another solid hit to Kirishima's face for him to nod and apologize. "Anyway, let's get a move on so we can get this finished." The three walked down the street with Kirishima trying to make small talk. "So have you heard from Ashido lately?" "No, why?" "She's been kinda out of school for a few days and I wanted to know if you've heard of anything." "Sorry, I haven't.
The trio meet in front of a steel door where a guy looks at them through a small opening in the door. "Where does life end?" "When the fighter can't breathe?" Izuku answered this for the door to open to them. They walk into the room to see probably over a hundred back alley thugs around staring at them. "Check out that piece of ass." "Yeah baby, work that tail!" "*Whistles* Damn girl, wanna go somewhere with me?" 'Unbelievable. These guys see one attractive woman and they go into a primal state.' Izuku and the guys stood in the center of the room to watch a match going on in front of them. Two burly guys were punching it out with one of them being Guradieta himself. "So this is the guy?" The villain got a punch to the face breaking his nose before his body glowed red. He punched the other guy for his jaw to rip off before relentlessly smashing his skull on the ground until blood splattered everywhere. "Good thing I didn't eat dinner, but just what happened." "Damage Torrent happened. Guradieta has a quirk that allows him to turn the damage he has into power and speed. To sum it up, the more damage he gets, the more dangerous he becomes in a fight."
Guradieta walked out of the cage with the corpse to give two guys who reclaimed the jaw before bringing the former fighter into a room to the side. "Nice to see so many fighters here. Now for what you've all been waiting for. A DEATH MATCH TO END ALL DEATH MATCHES!" The crowd roared as Guradieta explained it to everyone. "The rules are simple. This circle will hold all the contenders in a battle royal. The losers will be the ones dead on the ground in a pool of their own blood. Anyone who decides to leave after the match starts will not only forfeit the match." The villain motions for a few guys to come out with guns. "But also their lives. For the sole winner however, there is quite a prize for you. You will be given a powerful quirk thanks to our sponsors who have found a way to, a nice sum of money, and finally a UA student who we have obtained some time back!" A cage was brought out to show Ashido chained up and gagged with bruises to show she was beaten pretty badly. "Ashido!" Kirishima was about to run to Guradieta before Izuku grabbed his arm. "You go after her now, we all die. Your best bet is to survive long enough for there to be a small amount of fighters left." The redhead bit his lip in anger seeing his friend in an injured state and being used as a prize for the winner of this mass murder event. "You have five minutes to decide if you wish to participate or watch. If you join, step into the red circle for our gunners to know who to watch."
"THOSE BASTARDS KIDNAPPED MINA!?" Jirou was enraged to no end seeing her friend tied up and treated like an animal for a bunch of monsters' enjoyment. "I know you're angry Jirou, but you need to be patient and trust your classmates." Aizawa watched from the side with a green haired girl looking through binoculars as well.
"Meow Eraser. Who knew you were in such a furrightening group." "So what exactly did Nighteye do to get your help Ragdoll?" "He saved me from a bunch of All Might's goons back when he was a sidekick to All For One. Hard to believe his son's following his footsteps." "It is what it is." Nighteye answered while speaking into a communicator. "Izuku, Kirishima, Inasa, can you hear me." "Loud and clear." "Copy that." "Rodger." "Good. Now Ragdoll will be watching your opponents and helping you incapacitate them. Unless there's no choice, no killing. You all understand?" Nighteye watched the three nod as the event began to start. "Alright, time to get our paws elbow deep into the litter kittens." Ragdoll spoke into the communicator as the three took a fighting stance. Meanwhile, everyone was on standby prepared to jump through the window and storm the warehouse when ready. Simply put, this night was going to be hell for everyone.
And that finishes this chapter. So Ashido is a captive in this and an added bonus for the winner of the underground battle royal. See how Izuku, Kirishima, and Inasa handle the situation as a whole with a fight to the death not counting a blood thirsty brute to deal with after. Hope you enjoyed and thanks for reading.
