The Courier (MHA)

Chapter 27: Hideout Raid (3)



My mind raced with the possibilities of who it was. I hoped it wasn't the Think Tank bunch as they were very unstable. So, once I was done hacking away at the Nomu, I pulled the [Proton Axe] out of its skull. At least, what was left of it. After that, I pulled out my knife from my boot and proceeded to carefully remove the Fusion Battery from its spine.

.

"What is that? Some type of battery?" AllMight asked as he watched me remove it.

"A fusion battery, something that shouldn't be here," Veronica spoke in my stead, already having asked me about why I hadn't spread my tech before we got here. She understood the reasons and agreed with them.

"Is it from..." AllMight asked but never finished the question.

"The Wasteland?" I asked and then nodded. "It is. That means someone else from the Mojave is here as well and is working with the League of Villains. We have to find out who, why, and where they are."

"Hopefully they aren't from Big Mountain, that would be disastrous," Veronica stated as she kept her head on a swivel.

.

As we were about to call in the police to arrest the villains, I noticed that Edgeshot was far too quiet. Looking at where he was supposed to be, I saw he was nowhere to be found. Before I could even scream out an order black gunk spewed out from the villains' mouths and encompassed everyone in the building. Out of the corner of my eye, before we were transported, numerous Nomus appeared out of similar gunk.

When everything seemed to calm down, we were in a weird facility with tanks lining the walls. Looking closer, it was revealed that the tanks housed Nomus and they were all awake and staring at us. A few were even incomplete. A voice called out to us as we looked around for a way out of here. One that made AllMight stiffen.

.

"Welcome, to my abode," The voice called out as we heard footsteps.

"All for One," AllMight growled as the footsteps came closer and closer.

.

What greeted us was a towering, brick wall of a man. Easily seven feet tall. He wore a dark, navy blue suit and white undershirt. He also wore and skull-like mask with angular tubes.

My instincts were screaming at me to run, fast. Because, the man- no, monster, in front of me could and would kill me in an instant. I could tell that Veronica felt the same way as she stiffened up as well as I did. AllMight stepped forward to confront the man known as All for One, while I pulled Veronica as well as trying to get away. But it was for naught, as soon as Veronica and I got close to the door we were surrounded by Nomus.

.

"Shit," Veronica, who managed to come to her senses, muttered.

"You could say that again," I told her as I got ready with my [Proton Axe] and [That Gun].

"Courier!" A voice shouted out to me, one I recognized.

"Dr. Disaster," I heard Veronica say as I turned to face the man.

"It's good to see you! Have you missed me?" Dr. Disaster asked as he walked out from the shadows.

"I thought I killed you," I growled at him, knowing I couldn't make a move with these Nomus watching our every move.

"You did!" He exclaimed happily, "You disintegrated me to ash! Yet here I am, perfectly fine! Quite curious, don't you agree?" Mad laughter rang out before he was smacked in the head by an enraged Bakugo

"Knock it off, you shitty scientist!" Bakugo cursed.

"Can we please get out of here already?" Tokoyami asked as he appeared as well but had a bandoleer filled with chem-lights lighting up dark shadow and himself.

"So vulgar..." Momo sighed and walked into the light.

.

Once the three students were in view, I could tell that none of them had been hurt. Maybe mentally exhausted from dealing with Disaster but fine. I didn't even see any marking that they were dissected or modified in any way. But that didn't stop me from being weary of them. After all, there was a thing called a [Mezmatron] that could hypnotize people.

.

"Sensei, sorry for worrying you," Momo said as she bowed.

"This asshole just wanted to know how our quirks worked," Bakugo growled as he kicked Dr. Disaster again.

.

Really? That's all he wanted to know? What the fuck?

.

"Anyway, shall we leave this place before those two destroy everything?" Dr. Disaster asked as he pointed towards AllMight and AFO, still being kicked by Bakugo.

"And how do you expect us to leave here?" I asked as me and Veronica eyed the Nomu surrounding us.

"Oh!" He shouted before commanding them to back away. "There we go! Now, shall we?"

"That's better," Veronica said as she lowered her guard but didn't drop it.

"You're forgetting that we're underground!" Bakugo growled at the Doctor.

"Right, right!" Dr. Disaster said before he pulled out a thin, rectangular piece of metal with a pistol grip and a bright green light on top of it. With a pull of the trigger, a portal opened up to the top of a building. The students and Dr. Disaster entered through the portal, and after a few seconds, Veronica and I did as well.

.

{With AllMight and AFO}

.

"How are you alive?!" AllMight shouted as he readied himself.

"Simple, you'd failed to kill me. Though you did give it your all," AFO taunted as he stood there with his arms behind his back. "But unfortunately, it wasn't enough."

.

As AllMight went to attack, a Nomu appeared out of a vortex and took the punch for its master. With a second of surprise that the Nomu gave him, AFO used multiple quirks to destroy the building and the surrounding area. Due to this, a massive crater was made, almost like it was as if AFO made an arena for the two of them. AllMight coughed and stood from the blow that made the crater, his hero suit torn in places.

.

"Now, then," AFO said as he dusted himself off, "This should do nicely." Allmight looked around in shock, surprised and scared of what AFO just did. "This will be our last battle, AllMight. Do not disappoint me."

"You bastard," AllMight growled out upon seeing the destruction. "You'll pay for that."

"Oh, will I?" AFO mocked AllMight. "Then come and make it so."

.

AllMight rushed toward AFO and swung. AFO didn't even react to the punch and let it hit him in the chest. A shockwave occurred and devastated the arena that was made, making it slightly deeper. AllMight looked on in shock as AFO tanked the hit like it was nothing. With a simple backhand, AFO sent AllMight flying away.

.

"Is that all you're capable of?" AFO asked as AllMight recovered. "Looks like my sources were right, you did pass down One for All."

"AFO!" AllMight shouted as he charged again.

.

{POV Six}

.

I, along with the students, Veronica, and Dr. Disaster, watched the fight from afar. The destruction those two created was widespread. Close to a mile of land was destroyed in the first attack, the rest of the attacks were just digging the crater even deeper. I wondered how these two could keep up with each other when the destruction they caused was so enormous.

.

"It's like watching two gods fight it out. How exciting!" Dr. Disaster spoke out and exclaimed.

.

Veronica, though reluctant, agreed with him. The students watched on in awe as they basically got front-row seats to the fight of a lifetime. For me, it was as if I was watching a rerun. I saw every blow before it could land before it did. I was, for the first time in a long time, scared. Not for the outcome, no, I was scared for the winner. On one hand, was AllMight, on the other was the personification of evil, AFO.

Just then, my head started to hurt as more and more images started to flash through my mind. I couldn't make heads or tails of what I was seeing, but I could tell instinctively that this wouldn't be the last time these two clash. My head felt like it was gonna split before it finally calmed down. Veronica saw that something was wrong with me and grabbed my shoulder. I was grateful as I felt like I was about to collapse right then and there.

Soon the fight down below reached its apex. Blows were being traded as each fighter was reaching their breaking point. I watched as AllMight sacrificed his next attack to block AFO from killing a civilian who was trapped in the rubble behind him. As the two began to accumulate their final attacks, I turned toward Dr. Disaster.

.

"Get me down there," I ordered him.

"S-sure," The tone of my voice scared him to do as he was told.

"Veronica, get the kids to UA after the battle's done," I told her.

"Understood," She knew that what happens next wasn't for their eyes to see.

.

With a few pokes at his portal gun, he opened a portal near where AllMight looked down upon AFO. I walked through while pulling Dr. Disaster through with me. Once there, I made my way over to where AllMight stood. AllMight looked at me and understood what I was there for. He was already in his skinny form and the News crews that were hovering around caught it all as they were live-streaming it to all the nearby cities. With a simple nod of my head, AllMight, no, Yagi moved back and let me do my job.

.

"Ah, the infamous Courier Six," AFO said weakly, "You here to finish what AllMight started?"

.

I didn't answer him, I knew what he was playing at. He was hoping that I would kill him and make Yagi look weak. I knew that he was also scheming to make the heroes look like they were above the law. I didn't care, but he had to die. Just as I was about to pull out a few things from my [Pip-boy] to make sure there would be nothing left of him, a spotlight shown on top of the three of us. The light was so bright that me and Yagi had to shield our eyes.

Soon, the helicopter with the spotlight landed on the ground. Out of it came multiple underground Heroes and HPSC members. Yagi stiffened and stood ready to fight if needed. I, on the other hand, got ready to kill them. Suddenly, Hawks landed in front of me with his hands raised.

.

"Now, now. Let's not do anything hasty," Hawks said as the underground Heroes and HPSC members surrounded us.

"Why are you here now of all times?" I demanded, "The fight could have been over if you showed up sooner."

"It doesn't matter you you, villain." One of the underground heroes growled at me.

"I have a Hero's license," I countered back but made no move to pull it out.

"Excuse him, he believes everyone who kills is a villain," Hawks spoke up, "The reason it took so long for us to get here is due to us dealing with the Nomus that were released at the Kamino ward bar. Plus, if we got into the fight between these two, it would have caused more casualties than not participating. And we were rescuing those trapped in the rubble."

"Fair enough," I said but I wanted to strangle the guy, these heroes and the HPSC members were all people with quirks that were considered A-class crowd-control quirks. Any one of them could have lent a hand in the fight and Yagi wouldn't have ended up like this. "Why are you here now then?"

"We're here to take care of the Villain on the ground, nothing more, nothing less." A member of the HPSC stated.
