《The Underworlds Hero》Divide and Conquer

Advertisement

About an hour after being given the info from All Might, the hero board worked rather fast in helping put things together and get heroes set up to do two simultaneous raids on two different locations. They also gave a briefing to address the situation as well as say the League was given authorization to use their quirks as a vigilante group. This protected our end as well as theirs. With this, our group began to split evenly through the two raids. Babaigawara, the UA students, Nighteye, Ryukyu, Fatgum and Mr. Compress joined me in the Hassaikai raid while Miruko, Endeavor, Hawks and the rest of the League went to handle the immediate threat of the Nomu with most of the pros and provisional license the commission could spare. I also asked Gigantomachia to head with Tenko and the group in hopes to avoid being outmuscled by the Nomu since it was hard to anticipate what we'd be up against. But what really scared me was that we have no idea where Nine or his group is. Depending on what he does could jeopardize everything right now.

"Midoriya. Are you ok?" Mr. Aizawa asked me to come back to the reality I was in.

"Y-yeah. How long until the raid starts?"

"Five minutes." Since we wanted to catch All Might completely off guard, we were planning the raid to fit perfectly with the invasion of the Nomu factory. Hard to believe though that it was in a rather commonly used hospital with several patients. As such, the second the Nomu factory raid would start, the Hassaikai raid would begin seconds after.

Taking the time to calm my nerves, I walked over to my friends to see Ochako holding a small crudely hand made doll made out of tissue paper and sticks. "What's that?"

"A gift Eri made for me a while back. She said she wanted to show how happy she was and that she was making one for you as well before...this." She held it close to her heart for me to understand she felt somewhat at fault. "I should've known earlier that wasn't you at the restaurant. If I did, maybe Eri wouldn't-"

"None of us knew. That's why All Might could set this trap. We knew he was going to retaliate, but not as quickly as he did. But don't worry. I'm going to help bring Eri back." I held her hands as a form of a swearing to her. Ochako shook her head when she heard this to correct me.

"We are going to help get Eri back. I'm just as much at fault for letting Eri get captured as you are. Because of that, I need to see this through as much as you. We're in this together and I won't leave you." I felt a bit of solace in these words before Ashido came up behind us.

"Seems you two are getting along really well." We looked over to panic a bit before moving away. "From what that sounded like Ochako, it almost made me believe that you were proposing to Mido. Should we expect a sibling for Eri soon?"

"I-I-IT'S NOT LIKE THAT MINA! I-I-I WAS JUST SAYING AS A FRIEND!"

"Sure you were." Toga nudged Ochako's arm for us to continue to blush. "C'mon Ochako. we know that you like Midoriya. Why don't you just admit it and when Eri comes back, you can actually be her real mommy."

'Eri's real mommy.' The thought came to my head with a somewhat bad thought to make me go over to a wall and start headbutting it. 'Idiot! Idiot! IDIOT! DON'T THINK THESE THINGS!' Everyone started laughing at this for Nighteye to walk over.

"Why are you hitting your head on a defenseless wall?"

"Cause he thought of plowing round face here." Kaachan spoke up with a smirk for me to glare at him. "Alright, we're done. No need to get testy."

"The invasions going to start soon. Everyone get ready. Midoriya with me." I followed Sir Nighteye for us to head towards the front. "You'll be leading the charge today. Having you open a hole right off the bat would show a mark of power and determination with the cops and heroes. Many are losing their ability to fight All Might and the fact you've shown a gate for them to enter into has given them hope. Let's use that as a momentum starter."

"Yes sir." We waited another moment before an officer said that the raid on Jaku hospital had begun. I was given the clearance to start for me to give a somewhat symbolic first strike. "This started with a wave of chaos, now it's time to give one of our own back!" I let loose an air pressure bullet that completely obliterated the gate and sent several yakuza out of the way.

"WHAT THE HELL!?" I ran as fast as I could to Katsukame to steal his quirk and then throw him off the premises.

"CHISAKI! GET READY TO FEEL MY WRATH!"

As the raid began, Endeavor, Miruko, Dabi and Tenko began heading for Garaki in hopes to end this quickly. "What is going on here!? You can't just take every medical patient out of here without any form of special authorization!" A doctor tried to stop a pro from taking a patient hooked to an IV drip out of the area.

"Trust me sir, this won't end well if the patients stay in this hospital." This happened with several of the patients with doctors and nurses stopping the pros from doing this. However, the group couldn't find Garaki who was hiding in a corner trying to make a call.

"What is it?"

"Sir. We have a problem. Several pros are evacuating the hospital and are led by the top pro heroes."

"So he made a move? Very well. Activate every Nomu you can and destroy everything. They had the opportunity to avoid this and chose to do nothing. It's the heroes fault this happened if anyone is to blame for our retaliation."

"Yes sir-" Garaki couldn't finish when the wall he was hiding by was decayed and revealed the four standing in front of him. "AAAHHHH!!!"

"Show's over doc. Come quietly and you won't get hurt." Dabi created a large amount of flames in his hand for the mad doctor to laugh a bit.

"You honestly think we didn't plan for this? In my hands is a detonator for the activation of-" Garaki began showing a small button before it disappeared from his hands. "WHAT THE!?"

"You forget that the quirk Larson was taken by Overhaul's goons by our group." Tenko held the detonator in his hands before pressing his fingers to it and decaying it to pieces. "It's time to end this game of cat and mouse once and for all."

Miruko immediately kicked the old man into a wall to leave him indented inside it. "Was that really necessary?"

"You know as well as anyone how much of a pain in the ass him and All Might have been, Dabi. One kick is at least needed for that."

As they prepared to take the doctor in, he began laughing uncontrollably for everyone to stare at him. "You think you won? You couldn't be more wrong. I may not be able to show dangerous results like Overhaul or Nine, but I make up for that with preparing for every single tangent I can. My brain is why I am valued among All Might's inner circle because it makes me far more dangerous than I could ever be to match with the other members." The doctor's body began turning to sludge with it surprising the group. "Have fun playing with my failures while I show the completed work to the world. I wonder how you'll survive with what I have in store for you?" The sludge began to turn black with a mouth smiling at the group. "Good luck heroes. You'll need it."

The sound of somethings g being destroyed was heard for the four to head out into the main part of the building. When they did, they noticed several Nomu attacking the pros. "These many were here this whole time!?"

"We need to find the doctor and stop him before we go any farther. You hear anything, Miruko?"

Endeavor asked for her to hear movement underneath. "Crusty. Decay a hole for me under us."

"It's Tenko!" Tenko placed his hands on the floor for it to decay and make a hole for someone to fit through.

"Now hop in."

"What!?"

"YOU HEARD ME!" The rabbit hero kicked Tenko in the hole for him to scream falling down. "We got the quack doc. You two go help stop those freakshows from causing a problem."

Miruko jumped through the hole with the father and son looking at the chaos to try and see what to do. "For now, the people take priority over everything else." Endeavor charged at a single Nomu to burn the head completely off. "All combat related heroes take out the Nomu! They are not human, so eradicate them by destroying the brain! Police and all other heroes protect and continue the evacuation of the civilians! Carry them out if you have to!"

A Nomu attempted to slash at the pro before being completely cremated by Dabi. "You watch my back and I'll watch yours." Endeavor nodded for the group to begin an all out brawl.

"Take the yakuza down!" The police began to detain the thugs giving difficulty with an opening not looking prominent.

"I got this!" Jin charged at the front gate enemies while using his quirk to duplicate himself and keep them all at bay. "Go on without me! I can handle here!"

The police agreed to leave some of their forces to detain the yakuza while the rest went with the heroes to take down the Hassaikai heads. Using an X-ray vision quirk, Izuku discovered a hidden path for Kirishima and Kendo to break down. The path opened to an underground stairwell that seemed to hold a facility. "Alright everyone! Move out!"

The police led the charge with them entering an enormous labyrinth that seemed to go on forever. "What now?" Jirou questioned until a massive shake happened for the walls, flooring and floor to alter.

"What's going on!?"

"One of the Hassaikai must be behind this! Stay together!" Nighteye shouted before an opening came behind Izuku with him being pushed inside it.

"IZUKU!" Ochako tried to reach out before she heard him shout.

"I'LL MEET YOU ALL AT ERI'S LOCATION! I'M NOT GONNA DIE, I SWEAR THAT!" The wall shut for the group to continue to get separated with the pros and students of UA being placed in different routes.

"So the fun's begun." Overhaul listened to the rumbling around the area to stand up and begin moving. "I guess we should start heading out, Eri?"

He took the small child by the hand with her hesitating. "...Daddy."

"He's going to die here. I suggest you come along unless you wanna be like that man who tried to stop me." Referring to Hikishii, Eri shuttered remembering it before following along willingly. Near the door, Nine leaned against the wall noticing Izuku was placed lower than most of the others.

"I take it you placed Midoriya lower to have me face him?"

"You'd be the easier person to deal with him. Right now, all we need is time."

"But why bring the girl?"

Overhaul showed a case with six small tranquilizer bullets in them. "We finished the final product of our quirk bullets not long before this raid started. All we needed to finish it was a bit more of the kid's blood. With the final product done now, Garaki can replicate it. But if Eri is still in the picture, they can reverse what we plan to do."

"So taking her with you is insurance."

"Precisely." Overhaul and Eri walked out of the room with Nine beginning to walk out in the opposite direction.

"Today we settle the score Izuku Midoriya. Once and for all."

"Seems things are becoming more hectic out there." All Might spoke while in what looked like a glass case filled with fluid attached to the wall.

"From what I've discovered sir, we are also facing a similar issue at the Hassaikai stronghold."

Thinking on this, the villain thought before asking of the treatment he was given. "How long until the process is finished?"

"An hour if we progress as fast as we have been. Thanks to the recent blood sample achieved by Nine, we accelerated the process from what would be weeks to a matter of an-"

"Can we quicken the process?" All Might cut him off.

"Theoretically I can shorten it to 10 minutes, but you have a 10% chance of success as well as a 50% chance of death-"

"Do it."

"But sir-"

"I said do it! We do not have an hour to waste. Proceed with the enhanced process."

"Y-yes sir." Garaki stuttered while synchronizing the machines. "Your heart will stop for the time frame but your body will be preserved in the embryo fluid until the electronic start resets your heart."

All Might began to smile as his consciousness faded out and left everything to the doctor. 'Ten minutes is all you have to stop me Izuku Midoriya. Will you be able to end this then or will my entire research give me that which I have been so eagerly working towards. Enjoy your final minutes of hope while you can.'

And that finishes this chapter. See how Izuku and everyone handles the situation they're in next time. Hope you all enjoyed and thanks for reading.
