Nicholas was standing on top of a building over looking downtown and looked to see if there were any criminals to take down. That's when his crime radio picked up the calls from police. It informed him of a bank robbery at OraOra bank, and his excitement peaked.

"This should be fun" he said with a grin and jumped from one roof to the next in the direction of the bank. He soon came upon the street with the bank and he fired his grapple gun and descended down into the alleyway beside the bank. Once he touched the ground, Nicholas peaked into one of the windows of the bank and saw the scene. It appeared that a panda in a suit and wielding a machine gun was holding up the bank with two other criminals who assumed were accomplices.

"This doesn't look too hard. I'll have them feasting with Lucifer by the end of the day" he said as he stealthily made his way to one of the glass doors. He charged the glass door and smashed right through it causing bits of glass to go flying everywhere. While still in motion, Nicholas drew his firearms and began firing several shots at the panda. He then took cover behind a desk in case the strange beast was able to retaliate.

"I am a demon of vengeance and I am here to cast you vile slime into the fiery depths of hell!" he shouted. These thugs had quirks and that meant that their deaths would be all the more sweeter.

Herito, Keiji, & Suiichi

After leading Keiji and Suiichi away from the school grounds to an abandoned construction site Herito scaned the area to make sure no one was present.
" well now we can talk, my luck has been fucking with me all day and i kinda wanna relieve some stress but whats really been fucking with me is this.." Shouting angrily Herito poses sexy and points at Keiji activating his quirk, immediately a card forms and flies toward Keiji.

Snatching the card cleanly Keiji looks at it, his serious expression changed and with a loud burst of laughter Keiji calmly replied
" til this day i still cant read you but i didnt come her for fun... There's something i need to tell yo....."

Herito interrupts Keiji with a powerful swift left hook that send him flying through a pile of granite. before Herito could follow up Suiichi shouts " Big brother please stop!!!" while grabbing Herito's arm. immediately Herito looks over at Suiichi shocked in a amazement

"AHHHHHHH why are you here sis!?!? Ya didn't think i wouldn't recognize ya in that get up you should know me better than that.. by the way have ya been taking the meds ive been sending?? Herito replied calmly.

" Yes big brother an....." her speech is stopped abruptly as Herito caresses her face almost as if he was about to kiss her. Suiichi started to breathe heavy and is unable to hide her true self " hufff hufff hufff brother please kiss me i huff huff huff need you huff huff..."

" Suiichi my dear i see that you arent lying to me u have been taking tho meds its amazing your able to even be this close to me due to that brother complex of yours but hold on i have things to discuss with Keiji so just bare with this for now." Herito whispered in Suiichi ear as he kisses her cheek. He then focuses on keiji shouting " hey the time out is over u can stop faking keiji i know that wasnt enough to knock you out now tell me whats a pro hero like you is doing work for F.O.G huh. you do know that the elders kept an eye on us i cant have you fucking up my plans."

brushing off the rubble Keiji told Herito about him being a spy and infiltrating F.O.G and hand him a list of potential high priority targets and how suiichi is also a second yr student at UA. With a evil smile and a sinister laugh Herito shouted " my my i guess today isnt that bad after all..

As the provisional licensing exams finish up, Albion is filled with even more excitement to see what he can accomplish at U.A High. He observed how the exam tested the students fighting, leading, and rescuing capabilities all at the same time. Man,this will be the most excited I've ever been to attend school!

As the exam came to a close and people began exiting the stadium, Albion was overcome with a new sense of urgency. He wanted to progress as fast as possible. Ok so in have to train harder and harder to be better than these guys. As Albion exited the stadium to head back out into the streets he waved goodbye to his new peers.

A few hours passed but it was still daytime. As Albion walked the streets, he heard police car sirens approaching. That sounds close,what's going on? As the police cars zoomed past him he became even more curious. Guess I should follow and see. Albion then shapshifted into a bird and followed the police vehicles. He flew all the way downtown and the police arrived at a bank. Albion landed on the roof of a nearby building to get a good view of what was happening. He noticed the bank was full of smoke so he couldn't identify who was inside through the windows. Several police cars parked outside the front of the bank. A few officers were circling around the back. After a few minutes Albion heard gunshots. Scared of what would happen if he tried to assist, he anxiously waited to see if the police would handle this in time. He observed a few officers equipped with snipers getting onto the roof tops. Albion also observed what appeared to be a panda fighting with some quirk user outside to the side of the bank. It was safe to assume he was a hero. He then heard more shots ring out, and shortly after a loud yell followed by a large amount of spikes flying out of the bank. With all this going on, Albion felt helpless that he couldn't really contribute to stopping these criminals.

Shadow meets Shadow... Joint post between @AyeYoWorm and @Krewsial

Gale left the campus after watching some of the provisional exam. Being able to witness and experience the test at a spectator level was an incredible privilege. As he walked down the road, he thought about the written exam and the abilities of his acquaintance. Gale thought about what he could do to prepare and what Andrew could teach him.

Suddenly, something overcame his senses. It was similar to the feeling he felt during the exam expect this time it felt stronger, heavier. Gale could feel the shadows around him dancing almost excitedly.

That's when Gale turned around and saw him. He stood there in his school uniform, top button unbutton tie on loose, Louie belt on black Tims on. It was Andrew.

Andrew: I see that your shadow was able to detect me before you even knew what was going on. In combat I’ve could have killed you 10 times over. Along with that I’m shocked that your shadow hasn’t took over and devoured you. He must like you. I have a lot of work to do with you I see.

Andrew had a much more intimidating presence in person. Gale stood still for a moment processing everything he heard. A thousand questions ran through his head.

"I... umm... what is that feeling I felt?" He finally managed to ask.

Andrew looked Gale up and down

Andrew: You mean this feeling
Andrew unleash 20% of his power and then watched Gale fall to the ground. Trembling in fear and disbelief. Swear pouring from his face

Andrew: That’s my power. Or should I say my shadows bloodlust. There are few people in the world who have a shadow quirk but it not really a quirk. Our shadow have a mind of there own. Some have names and special abilities. Your shadow have a lot of untapped potential. It’s a shame really that all you can do it is shadow step. It’s a war coming and you need to be ready. So you think you’re ready to become stronger and be a real hero? Or are you okay with just barely being a sidekick and being manipulated by others? If you’re serious meet me at this address at sundown. Don’t waste my time.

Andrew steps into his shadow portal and disappears.

The weight of Andrew's power was overwhelming. Gale felt as if his body was going to be crushed. This force terrified him. It took everything in He had just to keep his body from collapsing onto the sidewalk. Gale concentrated on what was being said. He could hear the disappointment in Andrew's voice. He watched him open a portal and disappear before throwing a small sheet of paper in front of him.

The pressure disappeared when Andrew did. Gale was finally able to catch his breath. However, he still remained on the ground.

'Brother,' he thought to himself, 'I meant someone incredibly strong.'

Shadow meets Shadow of. 2

Andrew gets home, writes a note for Gale on the door and clears the living room and begins to meditate

Andrew: Gale if you can’t reach me then it’s pointless of even trying to train you.

Gale was laying in his bed staring at the ceiling. When he got home, his parents asked him about his exams. He told them that everything was fine and the test was easier than he expected it to be. He decided it best to avoid mentioning Andrew. Knowing his parents, they would react in an overprotective fashion. Were they wrong though? Gale knew nothing of Andrew except for his abilities yet he trusted him so easily.

The sun was beginning to set. Gale turned his head to his desk where the paper with the address Andrew gave him was sitting.

'I want to be stronger.' He thought. He stood up and grabbed the paper shoving it in his pocket. He grabbed his jacket. He ran downstairs. He'd told his parents ealier that he would be meeting with some who passed the exam for a celebration party. He rushed out the door on his way to meet Andrew.

When Gale got to the apartment he notice a note or the door with instructions.

Gale the doors unlocked. Step inside and you’ll find me in the living room. Your firist test is to reach me in the shadow fields. If you can reach me then by the end of the night you’ll already be stronger.

Gale hesitated before going inside, but he didn’t let his nerves get the best of him. So he walk in and found Andrew in a meditative state. As he walked closer he saw Andrew’s shadow. A large tiger shaped shadow with eagle wings laying there relaxed but sharply following him ready to attack if he tries to attack his host. Gale pounders for a moment thinking of his shadow has a form like that. Before he could get lose in though he sat down and began meditating. Gale was trying to figure it out and then all of a sudden his shadow began dancing around and linked with Andrew’s shadow. Gale opened he’s eyes thinking he was back in the living room but he soon figure out that wasn't true at all.

"Is this... The shadow fields?"

Gale looked around trying to gathering his surroundings. There was no sign of any form of light yet he could still see. He held his hands up to his face. He could still see them. He could still see himself. Underneath his feet, he could feel something similar to concrete. This place was new to him. His shadow step only allowed him to travel between the shadows of two objects. It was more like opening a door, going through a small hallway and coming out the other side. He never imagined there would be a entire plain of nothing but darkness. His body felt lighter but stronger.

"Where's Andrew?"

Andrew: Gale I need you to listen cause I’m only going to say this once. If I have to find you we’re going to have problems. In order to find me you have to feel me out with your powers. Use your senses to locate my power. Trust me I’m closer than you think.

Gale looking confused started to focus his power and sharpen his senses. He remembered Andrew saying that he needed to be more aware of his surroundings and he needs to connect with his shadow. So with all that to think about Gale cleared his mind and focus. After awhile he felt a faint familiar feeling. He started to walk towards it to notice that he only took about 5 steps and when he opened his eyes there he was. Andrew standing right there in one hand and apple. In the other hand was a scythe.

Gale - Is that a scythe in your hand?
Andrew - Lol nah fam my right arm is the scythe.
Gale - ........oh
Andrew - Well since you found me we can more on to the next part of your training combat because you’re going to need it for the battle ahead. So Gale are you ready?
Gale - .........ummmm I guess
Andrew - Gale I said ARE YOU READY!?!?!? If you’re not then I got two words for you. You’re dead!

Shadow meets Shadow pt. 3

It was too much for Gale to process. The only words that rang in his ears were, "You're dead." Andrew charged. Gale could feel the bloodlust coming from his instructor's shadow. He could see the scythe readying a fatal blow. He was scared. His body couldn't move.
'He's really going to kill me.'
'Am I going to die here?'
'But I was going to be a hero.'
'I'm scared but...'

Andrew was upon him. Gale could see the intent in his eyes.

'I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I don't want to die.'

Gales shadow danced wildly underneath him. It jumped into his right hand. Instinct forced Gale to grab it. The shadow molded itself into a large object.
"I DON'T WANT TO DIE!"
Gale didn't care what it was and once he realized he was holding something in his hand, he swung at the incoming scythe blocking Andrew's attack.

Andrew: so you learned how to use shadow create. And with your untapped power you summoned giant sword. That’s good you’re learning. Now the question is can you use it.

Andrew starts striking at Gale. Gale can only block with his new sword. Not able to mount an offense.

Andrew: you can’t win while on defense. So what are you going to do? Gale if you can hit me one time I conceded the dual and teach you everything I can.

It took all of Gale's energy just to block Andrew's attacks. However, every blow struck with such force, that it shook Gale's arms and ran down to his feet. The shock made his hands hurt. He tried to find an opening but under the wave of assault after assault it was extremely difficult to find an opportunity to strike back.

Andrew was growing impatient. His attacks started to come faster and more forceful. It was in that moment that Gale realized that he had been holding back the entire time. He needed to put distance between them. He waited for the next strike before ducking to the left and backing up several feet.

An idea suddenly hit him. Andrew called his new ability Shadow Create. Did that mean he could create other objects too? 'Worth a shot.' He thought. Gale dropped the sword behind him. He then took the shadow from the handle sword and extended it, making it look like a rope was attached to it. He then threw the blade at Andrew.

Andrew- What the...........flushedscreamcold_sweat
Andrew tried to dodge as quickly as he could be he reacted a second to late as gales sword cut him square on the chest. A little flesh wound but nevertheless he hit him

Andrew- Well I’ll be damned. You figure it out. Congratulations. Well we don’t have much time cause it’s stuff happening in the real world that I need to attend to and you need to watch so instead of me teaching you. Imma just give your shadow all the information and over time as you get stronger you’ll unlock more abilities.

Andrew links his shadow with Gale’s shadow to transfer his knowledge of the shadows. After he was done he told gale to leave and wake up. Gale open his eyes to see he was back in the real world. A moment later Andrew woke up with a smile.

Andrew- Alright good job. Now it’s time for field study. You watch and don’t engage. Do you understand me. If you get involved you’ll get kicked outta UA and I’ll lose my license.

Gale nods in compliance and they both head out until the night.

Tokiko was chilling out at home. Since she had taken her exams, there was no need for her to go to class. Her father, an English Teacher, was home as well. Her father was making some lunch and Tokiko kept glancing out the window.

"The mailman isn't going to come any faster, sweetie." He said, sighing.

"I know, but I just want to get a letter...THE letter." Tokiko said, slouching in her chair. Her father ruffled her hair.

"I know they're going to let you in. It'll be fine." He said. He hummed a little, dreads swaying as he put together a salad.

"I agree," Nozomi said, putting on her trademark trenchcoat. "You've honed your skills as much as you can. I'm sure you made it in."

"Hey, did you cash that check? We need for the- um...important thing." Tokiko's father, Will said. Nozomi shot a glare at him.

You know you can't talk about surprises around her! Geez...

"What's the important thing?" Tokiko asked.

"It's...car insurance. Your father forgot to pay the car insurance." Nozomi said.

"Yeah! Car insurance!" Will said, a little too enthusiastically. Tokiko raised an eyebrow at her father, who was laughing awkwardly. Nozomi smacked her forehead.

Damnit, Will...

"Anyway, I'm going to the bank to pay for the...car insurance," Nozomi said moving towards the door.

"I wanna go too! There's a new sports store over by there, right? I need some new weights." Tokiko said, running after her.

"Fine, fine," Nozomi said. "Just hurry. I have a shift at the station after this, and I want to do this and make sure to have some of your father's lasagna before I go."

Tokiko nodded, and the two hopped into her mother's car to OraOra bank. When they pulled up into the parking lot, it looked busy, as usual. Nearby there was the store Willie's Sporting Stuff.

"Meet me by the car in 30 minutes, alright?" Nozomi said, getting out of the car. Tokiko nodded, and got out, running towards her favorite store.

I wonder if they have any new weights? Those 20-pound ones aren't cutting it anymore...I wonder how much a new one would cost...

Tokiko wandered throughout the store, admiring the workout and sports equipment.

It's almost time to meet up. Let me get my things and go...

Tokiko paid for a 30-pound kettlebell and carried it out. As she went towards her mother's car she heard a voice over a megaphone.

This is the Mustafu police department. Please come out with your hands up. I repeat, please come out with your hands up. You...and the Vigilante.

What's going on? There's police around the bank...No, no, no, no.

Tokiko took off her eyepatch.

S-surely she's back at the car, r-r-right?

Her left eye saw that her mother's car was empty. Her eyes widened, and she dropped the weight.

She's inside.

Yasuke sat at his workstation, fingers tapping away at the keyboard as he was worked on some R&D. While watching the provisional license exams had reinvigorated his determination to become a powerful hero, it had also shown the gaps he had to overcome. Not only in strength, and technique, but also in equipment. A hero costume not only served to augment a hero’s strength but also to shore up their weaknesses, and that’s what Yasuke was working on now. He had some ideas that he wanted to try, but unfortunately, none of them were exactly cheap. That means it was time for him to pick back up his original work, the direction his life was going in before his abrupt change to become a hero. As if mimicking his thoughts, the alarm on his cell phone started playing, Legend Has It by Run the Jewels. He absentmindedly flicked the alarm off and stuffed the phone in his pocket as he stood up. Before he exited his room, he stopped to look himself over in the mirror. He traded in his cross trainers, cargo pants, and compression shirt for, oxblood dress shoes with blue navy-blue slacks, and a gray button-up with epaulets on the shoulders. His shirt was tucked in, but he wore no tie and his sleeves were rolled to his elbows. While he preferred his training gear, he had to be a little more put together for where he was going. He checked his watch one more time before walking out the door. Thirty minutes before the appointed meeting time but it’s only a 15min walk, meaning I should arrive 15mins early. Perfect.

Yasuke let his mind wander as he walked, transportation is another thing I should look into. While I do technically have a hybrid quirk, what with my quirk being an offshoot of mom’s quirk, all I really got from dads hetoromorphic quirk was a slight boost to my natural constitution. I can probably tank a few hits that would knock the average person out, and hit a little harder, but I don’t have his level of agility and strength that allows him to move in bounds and leaps. So how can I make it from crim-

Yasuke’s thoughts were interrupted by the blaring sirens of several police cars blowing past him, without thinking he started sprinting in that direction. He didn’t have far to go before he reached the police perimeter that seemed to be about a block out from where the incident was happening. What could be going on? If you continue down this street and take a right at the corner, you’ll reach…the bank! There was a loud boom, followed by a little smoke cloud rising in the distance. Yasuke couldn’t tell if it was an explosion, simple destruction, or even the manifestation of someone’s quirk. But his quirk responded. He could feel his detection range increase by six inches, and as other people began to gather they started coming within his range. He easily maneuvered through them like water through a riverbed and avoided bumping into anyone.

What should he do? What could he do? Flashbacks of screaming and explosions flashed through his mind, and he could feel the heat on his face. His aura tried to expand even more. He clamped it down. Not again! Just calm down and think! Even if you could do something you’d probably just get in the professional Hero’s way. You are a student in Class-A at U.A., it’s against the rules for you to even try. As he took a few deep breaths and continued to reason with himself, his aura stopped fighting. Besides, the only reason I’m even in this area is that I have an actual job I was contracted to do! Oh crap, the time!

Yasuke looked at his watch and realized he only had ten minutes before he was late. If I sprint the whole way, I should arrive with a few minutes to spare. Yasuke dashed off, thoughts of completing his suit and becoming a pro-hero fueling his speed.

*Andrew and Gale walk down the street to see a bank robbery taking place*

Andrew - 😒😒 Okay Gale go up to that roof top and watch me help and assist the pros and cops.

Gale - Why can’t I help? Its only bank robbers.
*Right when he got done talking he saw Teddy and his sidekicks*

Gale - Are those pandas 🐼 in suits? And a bunny girl?

Andrew - I guess his quirk lets him bring toys to life.

Gale - Who’s that fighting him by himself?

Andrew - Idk he’s not a pro. Imma go talk to the police Chief and see if I can get some info and help out. Just stay and watch.

*Noir wraps down and introduces himself to the police chief and gets the info he needs and gets permission to assist*

Noir - Wait why is the bunny girl running awa... oh never mind a panda with a gun is chasing her. Ugh

*Noir cuts off the panda and without thinking twice goes in for the kill but the panda jumps over him and evades him*

Noir - Oh you real real huh okay.

*The panda pulls out a long knife and charges at Noir. Still mad about letting gale graze him he lets the knife phase though him and counters with a shadow claw. You start to see stuffing coming out of the panda*

Noir - One more hit and this is done.

*Noir is about to go for the kill but he feels a sharp pain in his ankle. Unbeknownst to him he had step in a toy bear trap but the pain is as real as it gets. Gale looks from above worried but he knows that he can win.*

Noir - Damn that shit hurts. Gotta push though the pain. Gotta end this in my next strike.

*Noir focus his power while the panda was charging in but before he got to close he strikes him with his scythe and the panda spills in 2*

Noir - 😪😪😪 I guess I should go put some ice on my ankle.

*As Noir catches his breath he but in the distance he sees two sets of bodies at the bank*

Noir - Damn shit just got real

*Provisional exam*

Riku stood there, frozen in fear as he saw the people he was meant to save dead in front of him. He didnt know what happened, the woman he was holding was dead in his arms, the arena destroyed, the others students dead, then he looked around and he slowly started to notice his family there as well, dead on the ground. He heard a voice say, "Its all your fault isnt it?...."

He then felt the rain, that same chilling rain from his memories, the same storm from that night....."No" he whispered, "It can't be.....Not again...i thoug" he dropped to his knees.

His mind racing "Why am i seeing this again?...." this was the scene that was burned forever in her memory. The scene he would never forget, the night....that he lost his mother.

He looks down and sees the same clothes he once wore at age 8, he saw the horrific car crash again, and the blood trail...."No.....dear god No, this cant be happening again." You could hear the car door bell ringing in the distance, the street light flashing, and you could see his mother's body broken and in a terrible shape, he closed his eyes and Cried out for her but no answer met his call.

As People arrived to see what happened and why He just stopped during the exam, Riku Let out a deep primal, and pain filled scream which sent his powers out of control, Lighting struck the ground all around him, the wind picked up to deadly speeds, and the rain poured harder.

Everyone was affected by the storm but him as fell to his knees and cried out "Mom, i'm sorry!!" the stadium was rumbling as the lightning struck everywhere and almost hitting each student. In his mind, he walked to where her body was, he didn't know, he didn't try. He was just upset and yelled at her previously, he didn't mean to make the car short-circuit and hit the crib flipping as it tumbled into the pole. He cared not for anything around him, he was reliving his worst nightmare imaginable.....again, except this time she look at him and met eyes, "Why did you do this, Riku? Why did you kill me?"

It seemed that the criminals were not going to be as easy as he thought. Those bears with gun did complicate things, but that wasn't going to stop him from dishing out brutal and vengeful justice. Criminals would die today! Between the shots being fired he quickly came out of cover and shot a bear right in the head and blowing out his fluff brain. That's when he heard the authorities arrive and the loud voice of a women coming a microphone.

"This is the Mustafu police department. Please come out with your hands up. I repeat, please come out with your hands up. You...and the Vigilante." Nicholas was furious after listening to the warning.

"Vile enabling scum! They will not stop my quest for purging the world from villain scum!" he growled with pure hatred. The police were a symptom of the sickness of crime in society and them not taking out the criminals meant that they would continue to infest the world with their evil and corruption.

"I'll only tell you one more time. Come out with your hands up!!" This again made inner fury rise up from within him and he would not hesitate with knocking out some police if they tried to stop him. After several moments of bullets flying back and forth he heard a woman's yell "Put your hands up!"

Nicholas heard the gunfire stop and came out from his hiding spot guns drawn and he glared daggers at the police chief.

"I would suggest you leave before you get hurt enabler!" he said to the woman with a righteous fury to his voice. His mind was quickly going through the next potential plans for attack depending on how his foes would attack first.

"I am Vindicator and I will have judgement dealt out today!" he roared. He saw another hero enter the bank. It was going to become chaos, but chaos was not something Nicholas worried about.

The Beginning of the Beginning!
(Juka wakes up in his bed and gives a slight yawn while stretching his arms out. He the proceeds to slide into his flip flops then grabs a bottle of water on the nearby table then chugs its till its empty. He picks up his phone of the small table and proceeds to walk to the restroom whilst checking his phone. He sees that there is a news report and a series of emails detailing a bank robbery but he ignores it and keeps scrolling until he gets to the bathroom sink. He turns on the Fossett then washes his face. Thinking to himself he walks out the restroom then opens the balcony slide door to gaze upon the view of the city. He then starts thinking out loud.)

"It seems like just yesterday I was just signing up for the entrance exams. I moved here to Japan from the states to be a pro hero. While my japanese isn't great, I'm getting the hang of it and things have been going smoothly other than getting a couple broken bones and muscle spasms. Things have been gravy thus far. So yea I took the written exam and it turns out I actually passed. I'll have to see on the first day of school of what class I'm in when I go in to get my official schedule. It feels like a giant boulder of blind resolve and stress has been lifted off my shoulders. I can enjoy the sensation of breathing again. I met some friends on the way out after taking the exam but I was so fatigued from the back lash of recovery girls quirk that I didnt have a chance to engage in conversation with any of the other students. This was almost a week and some days ago. My body feels like it's been getting back into tip top shape and I cant wait to get back on track on my journey to being one of the greats. I cant help but think about home though. The crescent rivers, the shady blue sky on those warm Sunday mornings. The smell of peanut butter in the air from the factories 2 miles down from the creek. The glistening trees that sound plesant to the ears when hit by the heavy wind. I think I may be getting a bit home sick honestly. However, now is not the time, dreams call and duty awaits!

A fateful meeting

Herito: hey suiichi u wanna come with me to the store i gotta grab a few things.

Suiichi: ofcourse big brother i would love to go out shopping with u. tonight i'm gonna cook you the best meal ever its been soo long since we last were able to see each other so i wanna show you how much i've grown as a woman. she said with a lovely smile and a flushed face.

Herito: well come on i gotta stop by the bank and hopefully the mail gets here by the time we get back from shopping plus i gotta stop by that old perv's house on the way back so lets go suiichi.

grabbing her hand the duo start to travel to the store but as they get closer Herito starts to feel uneasy as people are staring at him and his sister like they are a young couple. His breathing starts to get heavy and suiichi turn and looks at him with a concerned face.

Suiichi: big Brother are you ok??? whats wrong?? your breathing just suddenly changed is there anything i can do?. suiichi panicked.

Herito: huff huff huff no i am fine u go on ahead into the store ill be right behind ya im go over to the bank huff huff huff...

while suiichi goes on and enter the store Herito notices the girl he gave his jacket too earlier across the street dropping her dumbbells but this time she didnt have the eyepatch on. as he was walking over to see her Herito noticed A cat like human sneaking and entering the bank from rear away from the cops at the front entrance.

Herito: Hufff HUff come on calm down Herito hufff hufff huff *slaps face* ok let go up and see whats wrong with her mayb i can help plus this could be a my lucky chance especially since suiichi is occupied with grocery shopping. also i wonder what Keiji is up too that damn sneak he better have my materials but let go see what bothering her.

Noir: Just great now porcupine is mad and I gotta keep the toy man inside along with not get shot. Ugh 😑 what a drag.

*I bet your wondering how did I get this deep into this. Well it happen like this*

After Noir one of the pandas he regroup with the police officers outside. They tell him that the chief went inside to try to get some of the hostages out. Also while he was gone 2 men got inside. There identities were unknown. Noir took a few seconds to process the situation and figure out the best way to enter.

Noir: ................ guess I’ll try to sneak behind them and go through the front. Don’t have a lot of time to waste.

*Noir warps to the side of the building. Out of sight of teddy and the two unknown guys. He gets past them and gets to the front entrance of the bank.

Noir: Too easy! With that now I can go in and ........😳😥😨😰😱

*Noir looks behind him and see a large man glaring dagger eyes at him. He can feel the bloodlust. He was wondering how did he get the drop on him. With no time to react he tried hitting him with shadow claws but he blocked them and with one punch he hits Noir so hard he goes though the wall of the bank and lands in the middle of the room*

Noir: Damn *cough cough* He hits hard. Not as hard as LT but I can just take those han...... wait those aren’t hands.

*Noir notice his quirk allows him to turn in to a giant spiked mace. Noir looks at him in the moonlight and cracks a smile*

Noir: So are you a porcupine or something? No wait your hand are like literally giant maces. Also you okay looks like you on something fam.

*Without a word the mace man goes on the offensive. Noir now knowing the opponent he dodged the haymakers waiting for an opening just when Noir was about to go on the attack he heard someone charging a gun. He moved back in the nick of time as some of the bears come out and start shooting at him.*

Noir: I don’t have time for this in have to.... *boom*

*Mace man hits him again and sends him flying he lands outside the room with the hostages and looking in there eye all the fear. Looking at them lit a fire in Noir*

Noir: Okay now I’m mad. Let’s end this shall we?

*Noir summons his shadow spirit Driger who is only a cub in the day time*

Noir: Okay buddy I know we not the strongest right now but we get one chance at this before I crash. *Driger nods in approval* Okay porcupine lets start round 2.

*Driger hops on Noirs arm and transforms in to a shadow claw and shield. Thorn starts pounding Noir and at first Noir is able to deflect them but after so much he starts to get tired and catches another punch to the gut and Noir falls to his knees*

Noir: This has gone on long enough. I have to end this now or I’m dead

*Noir’s shadow starts to get bigger and bigger until it double in size and then it starts to shrink until Noir had a ball of shadows and darkness around his right hand. Noir looks at his hand and trout what would his father do? Driger feels the determination coming from his master. At that moment thorn rushes in for another hit but at that moment something trigger Noir inner power and with his eyes closed he waits for him to gets close and as soon as he gets close he opens his eyes and in one focused strike he hits thorn*

Noir: Shadow Tiger Fang!!!!!!!

*Thorn stands there and his spikes retract and he falls to the ground.*

Noir: OMG....... finally now.... I..... can...... save.......
*Noir collapses on the floor not able to move a muscle*

Well, this is a fine situation I've gotten myself into...

Nozomi was being held at gunpoint after paying for her "car insurance". Her life as a detective has made her used to the dangers of crime, but typically not as a hostage.

I should have never helped him...my lasagna is going to get cold...How long does this have to be anyway?

She glanced at the man holding her hostage.

He seems calmer than the average criminal. I feel like this isn't his first rodeo.

The police were nearby, trying to find the best way to end the situation. Hopefully, a hero would stop by.

I should be fine. Killing me will only make things worse for him.

She turned her quirk on, viewing the recent past.

So...he can make toys come to life? Hm...good to know.

She looked past the police and noticed a familiar face behind them. Her daughter was looking at the bank, eyes filled with worry. Her stomach dropped. Nozomi had downplayed the danger her job sometimes entailed, so that her family wouldn't get too worried. She generally did a good job of it, but now...

Oh Toki...I'm sorry you had to see this.

Suddenly, she found herself shoved to the ground.

The hell?

Glass shattered everywhere and all hell was breaking loose.

Welp, time to get out of here.

Nozomi crawled behind a large pillar. Spikes were flying around and it was clear she couldn't use the front door.

How do I get out now?
