Chapter 4: CHAPTER 4: RESCUE
Enji Todoroki, or more popularly known as the number 2 hero 'Endeavour', was downing a cup of coffee in his office when...
BANG!
He quickly got up from his chair, fire flaring and collecting to his fist.
"WHO DARES TO- Hisashi?" he said, confused, as he looked at the black-haired man who was panting slightly.
"I need your help. My son- Six kids have been kidnapped!" he yelled immediately.
He briskly walked forward, the drink forgotten as he gruffly grabbed Hisashi by the shoulder and steered him to a chair.
"Calm down and tell me what happened" he said, handing Hisashi a glass of water and calming the ever-present flames on his costume so that the latter would be able to breathe easily.
"Me and my family, along with a few family friends were at the 'God of combat' tournament because our sons had made it in. My boy, Izuku, had just beat his opponent, the Yaoyorozu heir when the lights cut off and when we all came to, the top 6 competitors were nowhere to be found."
"I see. Believe me, we'll find them, and if your son is anything like you I'm sure he'll find a way to let us know where they are but in the meantime I'll have an alert sent out so every hero in the city knows about this and make it priority number one"
"Thanks Enji, I'm glad that you're willing to help me despite..." Hisashi stopped talking and clenched his fists.
Endeavour's eyes softened and he said quietly "I would never blame you for Touya. Can't find someone if they burn up in a building. I should thank you actually, If it hadn't been for you god knows what I would have acted like with Rei and my children" he sighed.
"If only they saw you like this." Hisashi said with a sad smile.
"Well then, we better hurry !"
Izuku Midoriya was, despite everything, starting to smile slightly as he jumped backwards, dodging a couple of feathers from the man who was being referred to as 'Takami' by his associate with Holed Gauntlets, who was referred to as 'Shinchiro'.
He ducked under a lunge and kicked the man towards Kendo, who enlarged her fists and delivered an uppercut so strong the man was dazed enough for Tetsutetsu knock the man to the ground.
He looked around to see Katsuki blind the man with the gloves using the smoke caused by his quirk, and Shinso trip the man while Yaoyorozu knocked him out using a small metal rod she created using her quirk.
"How are these the guys who kidnapped us?" Katsuki snorted.
"Yes! we won!" Izuku exclaimed as he jumped in joy, not noticing the pebble which was launched by the action.
Said pebble hit the monocle bearing man.
Time froze for Izuku Midoriya as he turned to see said man get up and charge at him with incredible speed.
Incredibly, he was able to react in time and the man phased through him.
He did not however, phase through the three others behind Izuku.
Kendo, Tetsutetsu and Shinso all hit the floor hard as a fully grown man landed on top of them.
The man however, did not stay down.
The eye behind the monocle glowed, and suddenly, all the kids felt an immense pressure on them, like gravity had doubled.
"Little children should listen to their elders" he snarled.
"FUCK YOU" Katsuki yelled as he spammed his quirk, causing a lot of smoke to appear.
Izuku used the smokescreen to crawl over to the man and flashed his quirk, causing the man to flinch and gravity to return back to normal.
He jumped up and grabbed the man's foot, stopping the latter from moving.
Making full use of the opportunity, Kendo used her giant fist and punched him in the face, knocking him out.
BANG BANG
Everyone froze as they heard the sound of gunshots, and turned slowly to see a fourth man holding a revolver and looking pissed.
"I leave for one hour" he said "And everything goes to shit here."
He was bald, and had a scar running from just below his ear to through his lower lip.
"All you kids, single file." he said with a thick accent, Russian maybe?
Izuku's mind raced a million thoughts a second.
"NOW" he roared as he shot the ground again.
Quietly, all of them stood in a single file as ordered.
"Which of you is Midoriya Izuku?" he asked
Izuku stiffened.
"That's me" he heard Katsuki say beside him, slightly covering Izuku.
The man gave a bone chilling grin. "Good boy, stepping up like that." he said as he aimed his pistol at Katsuki's head "But I've seen his pops, and that man aint blonde"
BANG!
Izuku almost saw it in slow motion as instead of his childhood friend the surprised man fell over.
The door was flung open as 20 policemen and 5 pro heroes INCLUDING THE NUMBER 2 HERO stormed into the building.
The one who had shot the man was another policeman, this one wearing a grey vest rather than the standard blue , who Izuku could barely make out through the tiny cracks in the ceiling.
He didn't even realize that tears were streaming down his face until he felt his father hugging him tightly.
"D-Dad?" he whispered.
"I'm here Izuku. I'm here, you're safe and everything's over." the older Midoriya said firmly.
"Suspect apprehended" he heard another man in blue say into a microphone attached to his collar before addressing his father "Midoriya-san, I know that this is a bit insensitive, but I'd suggest having your reunion outside the building"
His dad nodded and stood up straight again.
"You're right. Yoshino and Himejima, you can ask the ones outside to lower the barricades, we have it under control now."
The man saluted and headed out to do as ordered.
"I'll sweep through the building to ensure no stragglers" Endeavour said as he went deeper into the building.
It was just the kids, the knocked-out criminals and a couple of police officers, including his dad in the room now.
"All of you, why don't we get out of here, I'll treat you all to ice-cream." Hisashi said with a smile.
The kids nodded and quietly filed out of the room.
Now that they were under the sun's light, Izuku finally realized. 'It's over...'
He looked around him to see that this realization dawned on the rest of their little group as well.
Yaoyorozu and Kendo were hugging each other and crying.
Tetsutetsu and Hitoshi were just sitting on the ground, their faces hidden behind their hands and he could even hear soft sobs coming from Katsuki.
He was going to say something to his closest friend when...
BANG!
Time seemed to freeze for him as he looked behind to see his dad clutch his chest and fall on the ground.
