Chapter 46 - Shie Hassaikai Raid

I woke up in Ryukyu's agency the next day.

I'd crashed here since I didn't trust Nighteye, not after what he pulled the day before. I went to bed pretty early as well. I don't remember anyone else getting back after I did. Today is the day.

[Gift from beyond the veil, 1x Random Gold Ticket] (BBWulf)

Well, that's one way to start the morning, I guess. Spin 'em!

 [Spinning, spinning, spinning, done!]

[Lust]

|Rare Familiar|

Fullmetal Alchemist - A homunculus created by Father, branded with the sin of lust. As a homunculus, Lust has enhanced stats compared to a human. In addition, the philosopher's stone implanted in her as her core keeps her immortal by regenerating her whenever she dies by consuming one of the souls inside as fuel. She can turn her fingertips into long and almost monomolecular, sharp, flexible claws that she uses with expertise.

She would be useful. From the small bit I remember of her, she seems to lean more towards bloodlust rather than normal lust. She would be very useful.

[IG-88]

|Rare Familiar|

Star Wars - IG-88 is an incredibly advanced combat droid with the skills of an expert marksman and advanced sensory capabilities. It also possesses superhuman stats due to its advanced droid constitution. This model also comes equipped with a veritable variety of deadly weapons.

This guy would be VERY useful! I would definitely have to bring him out during the final war.

I thought of various uses for my two new summons as I ate breakfast. Ryukyu and Nejire got up after me and were fixing their own meals. I also went over the abilities I would have slotted in. Since I had accumulated 22 slots, I had five slots open for use.

Divinity Water and Ice was a no-brainer. Followed by Six Eyes and Gaster Blaster. Then, Regeneration, and Inventory to round things out. For now, I think Gaster Blaster, Six Eyes, Divinity, and Inventory would be stuck permanently, but that could change.

Momo, Tsuyu, and Ochaco eventually got up, and by now, everyone save me was eating. I'd already finished my food, so I went down to the training room. Rather than activate it, I created a vast amount of water and began shaping it.

Since the water was a fluid, it could easily morph into whatever shape I wanted; the hard part was making it stay that way. The obvious way was forcing it to stay, since MHA didn't have anything mystical like mana to hold things together.

A neat workaround I found was using the Ice divinity.

By creating a thin layer of ice on the surface of whatever shape the water was in, I could make sure it kept its shape, while making it more dangerous. Just imagine a water dragon that could suddenly grow ice spikes along its body; it's more dangerous.

I played with this concept until the girls were done getting ready. After they called me, I went to meet them in my fiery armor. "I see you're going as usual," Ryukyu said, and I nodded as we joined the rest of the raid teams.

I went over and stood silently next to Aizawa.

After some last-minute prepping, Nighteye had everyone load up, and we made our way over to the Yakuza compound. I noticed that the police were also moving people away from where all the fighting would happen.

It took about 30 minutes to reach the compound, or as close as we could get without giving ourselves away. A short walk later, we were ready. Just as a pair of officers got ready to knock on the gate, a massive figure, nearly 2.5 meters.

Izuku and Aizawa kept the policemen from injury as Ryukyu slammed her claws against the villain. I recognized him as one of the Eight Bullets, Overhauls elite, Rikiya Katsukame. With Ryukyu keeping him busy, I blaze a path into the compound where the rest of the Yakuza are emerging.

They charge at us with guns and quirks, but I'm able to stop most with my armor and flames. What little does get past me is absorbed by either Fat Gum or the SWAT Team's shields. Once we break through the first wave, Sir Nighteye and Lemillion take the lead.

Sir Nighteye uses his quirk to take us to the secret tunnels under the compound, with Lemillion making sure we aren't running into dead ends as I break down any false walls before us. 

It doesn't take long for Overhaul to figure out we've come for him, as the walls of the tunnel around us writhe and squirm. This is because of another one of the Eight Bullets, Mimic. He warps the path to keep us busy as Tamaki starts to panic. Lemillion calms him down before going through the warped path to find a way through.

As he does, the floor beneath us collapses as we fall into an ambush. I don't let them spring their trap as waves of fire pour from me. I make sure to keep a wall of ice between the others and the villains as the flames wrap around the villains.

Aizawa then cancels their quirks as I trap them in ice prisons before we move deeper into the tunnels. I notice that the walls stop trying to kill us. Mimic must be focusing on the police mob following us.

I thought too soon, however, as the walls suddenly reached for Aizawa, trying to crush him. Fat Gum and Kirishima move in time, however, and end up sliding down the hole meant for Aizawa. 

We don't get any chance to worry about them as the tunnel tries to collapse around us the next moment. Rock Lock then uses his quirk to keep it from crushing us as the tunnel outside his influence writhes in tempo to Mimic's anger.

With Rock Lock's help, we pushed forward at a slower pace. The tunnel continued to warp around us until a small opening appeared, and familiar faces rushed out. I send forth a wave of fire at Twice and Toga, both turn to sludge as several more openings appear around us.

A swarm of Kendo Rappa clones rushes me as Twice and Toga go after the others. Toga manages to injure Rock Lock, but he keeps things going as I bat Toga away. "Hey, no fun!" Toga whines as she weaves around several bolts of fire.

I ignore her as Twice and Toga pull away from us. I use my flames to heal Rock Lock, as a few seconds later, Twice and Toga draw out Mimic for Izuku and Aizawa to defeat. Once he's down, they flee as we push forward at a faster pace.

As we get closer to where Nighteye says we need to be, tremors can be felt from Overhaul using his quirk. I break ahead of the others, ignoring Nighteye's protests as I start smashing through walls to get to Lemillion in time.

Feeling the tremors get more frequent, I speed up as well, bursting through one final wall and taking stock of everything at once.

Lemillion currently has Eri in his arms. Great, he still has his quirk.

Overhaul has his eyes squarely on me as he reaches for the person nearest him. Not great.

I throw up a wall of flames around Lemillion and Eri, as well as around the other villain. Overhaul yanks his hand from the flames as I advance like a hurricane. Flames surge forward as my hand creates a massive shield, and Overhaul hurls a large rock spike at me.

I tank the blows as Shin, Overhauls crony, opens fire with his quirk erasing bullets. Some are aimed at me, others towards Lemillion. The ones coming at me don't make it past the flames, with a wall of ice coming between Lemillion and Shin.

The ice wall then turns to water and shoves Lemillion through the opening I made as I focus more on Overhaul.

I wrap my flames around me even more densely as I advance. Despite knowing how dangerous Overhaul is up close, I don't have any other choice. Nighteye will not be dying today, and Lemillion will not be losing his quirk.

Nighteye and the others chose that moment to arrive. Overhaul glances at them as he tries to get past me, not being able to, he shouts. "Heroes value free will, correct? What if Eri wants to be with me?"

Overhaul then locks eyes with Eri, fully ignoring me for a moment. "If you come back now, it won't be so bad later. You don't want these people getting hurt because you didn't listen, right?"

I counter him, slotting in Louden just for the fun of it.

"LIES! YOU HAVE NO POWER OVER US, WE HEROES, CANNOT BE DEFEATED BY A SNAKE LIKE YOU! PREYING ON CHILDREN IS THE WORST CRIME ONE CAN COMMIT, AND NO MORE WILL IT HAPPEN. WHY?"

I pause for effect as I summon Mizutsune, its roar shaking the cavern.

"BECAUSE I AM HERE!"

Overhaul screams in pain as flames burst from me, slamming into him as he goes flying. He impacts Shin, and they go flying into a wall as the cavern shakes some more. Rock Lock starts to reinforce the cave as Overhaul snaps.

With the sound of wet, tearing flesh and horrid screaming, Overhaul forcefully merges himself with Shin and the surrounding rock; at least he tried. Aizawa stopped him as he drew the stone towards him, and Shin used his quirk to send Aizawa back.

Freed from Erasure, Overhauls completes his transformation as he roars a challenge. Mizutsune roars back as it charges him. I follow next to it as Nighteye watches his vision crumble before him.

--------------

'How? I didn't see any of this?!'

Nighteye felt like his world was falling apart. Not only had this murdering child shown up All Might on live TV, but he was now strong-armed by Nezu to put him on the raid team!

Nighteye is forced to roll to the side as the cavern shakes violently.

Micah, or Ignalis, is currently fighting with a large dragon-looking monster against whatever Overhaul has become. Overhaul was actually the only normal thing here. When he'd last used his quirk, Nighteye knew for a fact that Lemillion would lose his quirk and that he himself would die.

That sacrifice, however, would free Eri from Overhaul's grasp. As well as making sure no more quirk-erasing bullets could be made from this poor child's suffering. Not anymore.

Lemillion was still with his quirk, currently consoling Eri with Izuku's help as the girl had a panic attack from Overhaul's words. Nighteye himself was currently alive and well. The monster that was Overhaul was currently fighting two beings who weren't even in his visions.

He could see now why Nezu had insisted upon bringing him. This boy, despite his reservations about him, was currently beating back Overhaul. He was also destroying the cavern around them; however, something that could kill them in the end.

---------------

Mizutsune shoved Overhaul back again as I burned any hand I saw to ash. I could tell Overhaul didn't have much left in him, but that didn't mean I could let my guard down. If he were to get his hands on Mizutsune, he might not be stoppable.

Yes, I still had Eri and Izuku in the back, but I'd rather they not get involved if I can help it. As more fire flowed from me to burn any hands Overhaul made, I also kept using my ice to keep the cavern from collapsing around us.

Now, if only the two massive monsters brawling would understand this!

I was really close to just killing Overhaul, but I'd rather not give Nighteye another reason to dislike me, even if I knew I could prove without a doubt that Overhaul couldn't be stopped any other way.

A/N(LETS GO KNICKS!!!! FUCK WEMBY!!!! AHAHAHAHAHHA)

The fighting between the two got so bad that I had to stop burning hands to make sure the cave didn't fall on us. I looked away for a second, and Overhaul immediately tore Mizutsune apart, as his form grew even more grotesque.

I unleashed another massive wave of fire, much more effective now since Overhaul had absorbed more fleshy bits. It screamed in pain as it burst through the roof of the cave, and before I could give chase, I spun around.

"Izuku, grab Eri and follow me!" I said normally, since Louden was still very much active. I didn't wait to see if he'd listened as I shot after Overhaul. "STAY AWAY, I HAVE HIM!" I yelled at Ryukyu before she could rise after him.

I pulled more flames around me as I impacted Overhaul directly. He roared in pain as the flames ate at his flesh. He swatted me down, and it took me a moment to correct myself before bringing forth my new toy.

Overhaul's body convulsed as I unloaded with the bolter. It had taken me many sleepless nights, but I'd gotten it down. I flew closer as mass-reactive shells slammed into his bulky frame. Fire constructs also did their job as Izuku shot out of the hole in the ground.

If before Overhaul struggled against me, Izuku and Eri made it unfair.

With my constructs and Izuku's raw power, we beat Overhaul closer to the ground. Each bolt slammed into his flesh and destroyed mass before he could reuse it, and Izuku's 100% blows kept him disoriented enough to keep him from reaching the ground too fast.

Eri was the key player here; she kept Izuku fighting as he tore his body apart over and over again to keep up with me. I then slotted in Gaster Blaster as dozens of gaping maws opened to blast him.

With these things combined, we very quickly grind Overhaul down until Izuku was able to get Eri close enough to touch Overhaul. The second she did, his transformation was undone as Overhaul, Shin, Mizutsune, and Katsukame, idk where he got him from?

Mizutsune was recalled to the familiar space to heal as I raced towards Overhaul. A familiar green skull kept Izuku and Eri from becoming paste on the ground as I reached Overhaul, and broke his arms.

He screamed in pain, only to black out from the pain before I encased him in a thick block of ice. Not taking any chances, I personally guarded the ice as I waited for transports. As I did, the Gacha finally revealed what I'd gotten.

[Gift from beyond the veil, 1x Random Gold Ticket] (BBWulf)

[Gift from beyond the veil, 1x Random Gold Ticket] (Outer_Warlock)

[For keeping Lemillion from losing his quirk, 1x Silver Ticket]

[For keeping Sir Nighteye from dying, and breaking his vision of the future, 1x Gold Ticket]

[For defeating a (Mutated)Overhaul, 1x Platinum Ticket)

Not bad, 1 Silver, 4 Gold, and 1 Platinum. Let's see what I get, spin 'em!

[Spinning Random Silver Ticket, done!]

[Wind Barrier]

|Uncommon Ability|

Allows you to conjure a barrier made of violent air streams, by default it is a barrier around the user that excels in deflecting projectiles and elements, but not so much physical force.

Not bad, better me have it than that racist Inasa. Now for the Gold!

[Spinning, spinning, spinning, done!]

[Adept Physics]

|Rare Skill|

Your experience and knowledge in the field of Physics are on par with a Senior Scientist. You are very knowledgeable in the study of the laws of the universe, such as how things are affected by gravity, how electromagnetism works and its effects, how nuclear fission and fusion work, etc.

Hey, this would be helpful for when I started making Power Armor! Nice.

[Reactive Activation]

|Uncommon Ability|

Allows you to set conditions on your abilities to have them activate once the conditions are met, for example, a barrier being activated when a high-speed projectile is hurled toward you, or a heal activating when a foreign substance enters you.

Oh, I could definitely fix up some nasty combos with this.

[Forced Activation]

|Elite Ability|

Allows you to forcefully activate and use the ability of a target you are touching as long as they are willing or cannot resist.

So basically, that weird thing AFO could do, great to have, don't know if I'll use it, however.

[Explosion]

|Elite Ability|

Allows you to create and project explosions of flame at will. You can launch explosions as condensed projectiles that resemble large glowing bullets that explode on contact. Or with enough mastery, you can send streams of explosive energy from your fingers and palms.

Oh, Bakugo's gonna freak out when I use this on him. I might kill him from the shock lol. Now for the Platinum Ticket.

[Spinning, spinning, spinning, done!]

[Relentless Stamina]

|Elite Trait|

Your stamina is ridiculous. Even as a regular human, you could run a marathon and not be winded, you also recover from exhaustion really fast, and it takes a lot to get you exhausted.

That's a good one, I'm happy with that. I check my stats and see that I now have 26 ABILITIES?! Wow, ok, I barely use them all, but fine. At least I have six slots to use now, that's good.

A/N-That's all for this chapter. I will not be uploading for a few days, so just a heads up. Not dropping this, just not going to be near any wifi, a few spots maybe, but we'll see.

Lowkey tho, Micah has a full 26 Abilities, and I've used maybe ten of them. So if you guys can think of a way for me to get rid of some, I might go for it. Or maybe the Gacha has a sacrifice function, who knows?

Thanks for the support, keep giving stones, KNICKS IN FIVE BABY!
