Chapter 32: Declarations of Wars

Keigo: THAT THING BLITZED ME! ME! OUT OF ALL PEOPLE!

Another cup got smashed on the group as Keigo frantically pace around his office.

Trumpet is trying to calm the very much upset Keigo down a surgeon prepares to do surgery on him. From the fight with the monster, Keigo had multiple internal injuries that needed to take care of.

Trumpet: You need to relax sir, you still have another surgery to do.

Keigo: FUCK! I swear the next time I meet that bastard, I'm going to rip out his heart and eat it while it's still beating!

Trumpet: Assuming that thing even has a heart, that's kinda fucked up.

Keigo: And I'm going tear that stupid face in half and turn the steel into my toilet seat!

Trumpet: And there goes the sanity.

Scene change to Nezu

Nezu: WONDERFUL! Simply wonderful! The north rebellion has been put down this much in one day. At this rate, it will only be a matter of time before Japan is in my control!

Nezu stands triumphantly on his desk as he watches Bakugou destroy every living being near him on his ultra wide 4K 240Hz with 1 year extended warranty monitor.

From watching Bakugou, he saw how Hawks was indeed alive and well. He was just on the wrong side of the war, but that doesn't really bother Nezu.

What's more important is the video call he was on.

Nezu: Are you convinced now Mr Prime Minister? I hold the power over the war and can wipe out anything that stands in my way.

Nezu was on phone with the prime minister as they talked about the new monster he created.

PM: I can definitely say this is impressive, however, this monster of yours, erm how should I put it, he's only 1 being. He can't be all over the war at once.

Nezu: Yes I have thought of that, and that is why...heheHeHAHAHAHAHA

Crazed laughter slowly erupted from his mouth.

Nezu: TADA!

Nezu pulls down the curtain behind him, revealing many more monsters in stasis pods. Each and every one of the creatures mostly had their own unique appearance, from the number of limbs to the body proportion. However the one thing they had in common was their skin colour. They were all pitch black.

The PM looked at these creature further as he realised the shocking truth behind this.

PM: Mouse...are you working...with AfO?

Nezu's face instantly turns serious as he stares directly into the PM's eyes, unnerving him.

Nezu: Hmm, you aren't as dumb as I expected you to be PM. It would seem you have caught on.

As AfO has been public enemy number 1 for a long time in Japan, before The Blood Tyrant came along, most of the top men in Japan has learned to fear the guy. They have learned the horrors of AfO from not only their predecessors but also from personal experience.

PM: Why...?

Nezu: Why, you ask me? Well heres the deal. I am sick and tired of seeing you and the president running this country into the ground, so I'm giving you a little proposition. Leave the country to me, and you can retire in peace. You are getting there in age in my opinion.

PM: What would you benefit from having Japan!

The PM finally dropped his calm demeanour as he shouted at Nezu.

Nezu: Hmm, I'm not sure. I guess it's because I always found the idea of world domination an interesting idea. Yet again, I don't there is a single creature out there who doesn't crave power.

PM: I'm not letting you have Japan! I will take military actions on UA, you won't stand a chance!

Nezu: The same actions you took against the rebels? How did that end up again? You can't defeat me PM, just look at my arsenal, so I suggest you and the president meet me at UA next Monday for a friendly discussion, or I will act accordingly. Is this understood.

The PM thought for a while.

PM: We negotiate, but on our ground.

Nezu: That's fine by me. Until then, Mr PM.

Thus, Nezu ended the call.

Scene change to Shoto

Shoto and squad epsilon has been assigned a mission to escort supplies to one of the sub bases in Tokyo. In order for the operation to move smoothly, they had hid themselves in the back of some trucks.

Since this isn't a combat mission, the top captains weren't assigned to overlook the mission, but have entrusted it to their subordinates.

Their instructions were to protect the trucks from any bandits or raiders trying to loot it. Crimes like these have been a lot more common since the food supplies are getting low.

They have been travelling for at least 2h now, with nearly nothing to do. The only thing that is keeping Shoto entertained is counting the number of rust patches at the back of the truck and Ochaco's ignorance.

Ochaco: Do you think they will find out if we eat a pack of apple?

Shoto: Yes they will, they probably do supply checks there and won't be pleased to find some apples short.

Ochaco: Yea but if it's only 1, we can just blame it on the packing team.

Shoto: What? You want them to take the fall for your stupidity?

Ochaco: Ermmmm...Maybe?

Shoto: You sure have gotten used to being a villain.

Ochaco: Hey look! I am bored! And hungry.

Shoto: Would you rather be fighting for your life out there? Or sit here quietly and enjoy the ride.

Ochaco: Fair enough. But let's play a game.

Shoto: What game?

Ochaco: I spy.

Shoto: Huh? We are in a god damn truck. What can we possibly not see. There is literally nothing...

Before Shoto finishes his sentence, Ochaco speaks.

Ochaco: I spy with my little eyes, a scar.

Shoto: ...oh very funny Ochaco.

Ochaco: Hehe.

Ochaco grins as she puffs up her chest, being proud of her horrible joke.

Shoto: Fine. Now my turn. I spy with a my little eyes, a little...

BANG BANG BANG

???: WE ARE UNDER FIRE, ALL TROOPS OUT!

Sudden knocking on the metal truck door made the 2 of them jump, while they get on their feet.

Shoto jumps out of the back as he looks, accessing the situation. Ochaco too came out with her pistol as she quickly loads her gun.

They both quickly wore their masks too as they group up with the rest of the escort team.

BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG

Many pistol shots can be heard in the distance, fired in rapid succession.

???: We don't have time, let's go help them.

One of their teammates yells out to Shoto and Ochaco.

They all run to the direction of the gunshots to see some of their teammates down on the floor, bleeding out from their gunshot wound.

???: It's the police.

The gunfire continues as both sides exchange gunfire. Shoto and company are hiding behind one of the overturned trucks to shield them from the gunfire.

Shoto creates some ice for the fella who is down on the floor, while Ochaco helps wrap up his gunshot wound.

Shoto instantly creates a wall of ice around the trucks to block the incoming wave of police officers. However, one of the officers shot out fire from his hands, melting the ice.

???: Put your hands up and surrender now!

Shoto: Wait, that voice...

Shoto immediately sweats bullets as he ordered those around him.

Shoto: We need to get out now!

Ochaco: What why?

Shoto: THATS MY FATHER!

Ochaco carries the injured man, using her quirk to lighten him as she pushes him mid air. Both of them sprint away from the site as fast as they can.

Endeavour: Flash fire fist.

A red zoom suddenly flashes beside Ochaco as they gets impacted from behind, sending her flying onto the ground.

Shoto locks eyes with him for a split second while Endeavour zooms past him, while Endeavour's facial expression change to one of shock.

Shoto: Heaven piercing ice wall.

A giant wave of ice erupted from the ground, splitting up Endeavour and Shoto. Using this chance, he runs to Ochaco's side, finding her coughing up some blood.

Shoto: Are you ok?

Ochaco: Do I look ok to you?

Shoto: Ok you are fine. Now we get out of here.

Ochaco: Wait how about this guy.

Shoto: He's already dead, now hurry.

BOOM!

The ice wall gets smashed to pieces, as ice falls down from the sky. Endeavour appears on the other side, angry.

Endeavour: SHOTO I KNOW THAT IS YOU! I SAW THE SCAR!

Shoto: Shit.

Shoto was about to run but Ochaco stopped him.

Ochaco: Look.

Tears were running down Endeavours's face.

Endeavour: Nezu said you were dead, how are you here!

Shoto: I got attacked by Nezu, that's why I'm here.

Endeavour flies forward as he brings Shoto into a hug. Shoto didn't even try to break free.

Endeavour: I've missed you boy.

Shoto: ...

Shoto didn't reply.

He soon releases the hug as he stands.

Endeavour: You got to tell me everything when we are safe. Right now, we got to bring you...

BANG!

Blood spatters on the floor as Endeavour looks at his chest. He felt it, the kiss of death that was incoming. He fell onto his knees while grabbing the bullet wound that was shot right out of his core.

Shoto: NOOOOOO!

Shoto realised a little too late what was going on.

???: I knew you were always unreliable, but helping a villain? Tsk, tsk, tsk. That's low even for you Endeavour.

The man who shot him, wasn't a man from the Blood Tyrant. He was part of the police.

???: Nezu always knew you were a loose canon, that's why I was tasked with getting rid of you. But you were cautious, careful and vigilant. I didn't have any openings to kill you, well not until now.

Endeavour: Argggg...

Blood pours out of his mouth as he tried to talk.

Shoto: No please, stay with me father...

Shoto was breaking down as he tries to do anything to stop the bleeding.

???: Ah, now I can finally become Nezu's right hand man, what a magnificent title. Just need to kill one last villain.

BANG!

A round was fired.

However, Shoto was still breathing.

The unknown man fell onto the ground, a hole through his head.

Ochaco: Did I get him?

Ochaco asks while lying on the floor. She had been laying low this entire time, waiting for the perfect moment to take her shot.

Well it's not like she could move much either, being injured by Endeavour and all.

Shoto: Yeah, you got him. Now call the rescue team, we need to get him to the ER.

Shoto desperately pleas as he tries to prevent the bleeding.

Ochaco: It's no use Shoto. He's dead.

Shoto ignores her.

Ochaco walks up to Shoto as she puts her hand on his hand, stopping him.

Endeavour has died from blood lost.

A weeping Shoto stands up as he walks with Ochaco out of the scene.

Shoto: Nezu...you will die.

Scene change to Izuku

Izuku: PFTTTTTTTT

Izuku spits out his coffee as he sees the footage.

Izuku: What in the living city skylines is this abomination. A amalgamation of machine and flesh. And that face. Kacchan?

Hitoshi: Yeah, definitely looks like him.

Izuku: Did the rat turn him into this? Geez, I knew he was crazy but not this level.

Hitoshi: I heard he is teaming up with AfO too.

Izuku: Of course he is, man or machine, having more than 1 quirk is nearly impossible. The only one who can do it, and has the motivation to do it, is AfO.

Hitoshi: Oh and also, apparently Hawks wants your head.

Izuku: Hmmm. The chicken hero?

Hitoshi: Yeah, according to intel from the our spies in the north, he explicitly put a bounty on your head, dead or alive.

Izuku: What did I do to him? The only time we interacted was during prison break. And he was ranting his ass off half the time so I wasn't listening.

Hitoshi: I don't know man. But it would seem that it is you vs 3 big leaders.

Izuku: Well, you are wrong on one count.

Hitoshi: Hmm?

Izuku: It's about to be 2. Since the bird wants a piece of me, it will be good warmup.

Hitoshi: Damn, you made that decision fast. When are you going?

Izuku: Tomorrow and you are coming along too. Go pack your bags.
