[Weird Tales]

Vindicator

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.

[Crystalmushroom]

Some of the money had already been put on the counter when the glass shattered. Teddy knew it would be a matter of time before someone called the police or a pro would be on the scene. He didn’t bother to turn, he know the pandas would handle it. At least, that what he thought un he heard the pained roar of the panda.

The panda by the was surprised by the glass shattering and swiveled its body to see what the problem was. It received one shot to its side and another along it’s back, but it was able to react to miss the others by falling away from the stream of bullets. As the animal fell, He did let out a stream of bullets himself following the assailants direction.

The other bears made sure to focus their attention on the new challenger. Their guns were ready for him to pop up again.

‘Gun shots? Oh he must not be in the mood to talk.’ Teddy thought to himself as he hurried the money in the bag.

He had a little time because the bears were positioned in front of him. Hearing the guys little speech sent a cold shiver down his spine. He thought a pro would come, they tussle, and he’d slip away like usual. He never came across anyone willing to kill him before.

“Hurry up Lady.” Teddy hissed as one hand scooped the money into the bag, the other holding the gun still focused on her.
The next instant, Teddy grabbed his radio and held down the dial.

“ I need back up! We got a crazy.”

[Endrance]

Underneath the tellers window was a panic button. Afraid for her very own safety she clicked it in the hopes to alert the police, while motioning to put money into the bag. Over at the police chiefs headquarters, Chief Divinity of the Negotiation Task force hears the alarm go off, and the red lights blaring in the her building.



"SQUADRON."She yells barreling out of her office. All of the officers within her unit stand up at exactly the same time in a saluting motion.

"Yes Ma'am"

"We're off!"She says resolutely. Her eyes sparkle but she never loses her serious demeanor. Together they exit the office and climb into an official police van. The sirens scream loudly and the blue flashes as Max rounds the corner driving like a maniac. The blue powder the Chief was about to use almost slipped out of the mason jar.

"Officer Langdon."She isn't screaming but her voice is so cold that it cuts through the rustling of equipment.

"Apologies Chief."He sighed.

Sitting on the bench inside the van, she empties out the contents of the mason jar as the blue sand like material hits the ground. As if magnetized, the sand began moving on its own, forming a map of sorts. The sand formed the block, a miniature version of it almost too 3D. A 2D layout of the bank also formed next to it, with circular clusters forming the people of interest. One circular cluster turned from blue to bright red, while the other circular cluster faded to white.

"...I see. So there's a neutral party somewhere in the vicinity...seems like a... cold blooded type... and the suspect is still within the bank. Hasn't killed anyone yet though, but we might need to be careful with this one... This situation will get escalated. I'm getting some terrible feelings about the neutral guy. We might have to take the both of 'em in. You with me squad?"

"MA'AM!"They all yell in unison. Despite how serious their chief could be, this unit would put their quirkless lives on the line for her and were ready for whatever come what may.

"Suit up you WILL need those bulletproof vests on especially today!"Was all she said before reaching their destination, she kept getting the feeling that something pretty terrible was about to happen and she was ready to do all she could to prevent it.

[Quirk Name: Divine Calling

In these cases she is only able to get slight gut feelings about what the future holds. She also needs to carry some sort of material to help her visualize said information, her material of choice being sand]

[OraOra Bank]
Over the loud speaker, the chief spoke clearly and concisely, "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." Mid talk, shots could be heard. The police officers, save Langdon all hopped out of the van, guns drawn in perfect triangular formation.

"Tsk."Chief Divinity sucked her teeth as she herself suited up, but before putting on her helmet and leaving the truck, she swiped her hand over the sand one more time. She could see two more reds flashing within the building. This meant that they hadn't yet gotten there. The only problem was she didn't know from which way they would be arriving.

Grabbing the megaphone and unlocking the holster she yelled "Scour the area for suspicious individuals, and cover the perimeters"

"Yes Chief!"

"I'll only tell you one more time. Come out with your hands up!!" If any more gunshots went off, she would find a point of entry into that bank and leave the two variables to her men.

Then since she heard some shots ring from inside, quietly, she snuck off to the back, with Langdon a little behind.

"I'll be fine!"She snapped.

"I know, Chief. And so will I."

"I should fire you for your insubordination."

He chuckled at her but then stopped half way through at the glare she shot him. They had this conversation almost every time.

There was a back entrance to the underground vault within the bank that housed most of the material. Slipping through the camouflaged vent required fingerprint access though but with a skeleton usb key, she could get into it. She inserted it, and slipped through the vent along with Langdon.

With their movement the lights flicked on as they made their way through the open warehouse like area. Already both her and her partner pulled out their gun. Quietly they went up the steps, and opened the door, again with usage of the skeleton USB. They could hear the suspect demand the lady put more money in the bag. "This is all we have..."She said frantically. Hiding behind a little counter to the side of the door, she could see the bears toting guns. She mouthed to Langdon, 10-01 (hostile quirk situation). He nodded as she motioned forward.

She didn't want this to turn into a shoot out with all the frantic customers, but with the shots fired she had to do what she had to do. She would play decoy and have her partner save the rest of the citizens.

"Put your hands up!" She screamed guns out, but as soon as she screamed she had a couple of bears now with guns pointed at her. Along with another guy gun drawn, it would be a wonder how this three way duel was going to go.

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..

[AlbionX]

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.'

[Krewsial]

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!

[Krewsial]

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.

[MoMochas]

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.

[SatsuiYurei]

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.

[Crystalmushroom]

As the loudspeaker rang out it’s message, a smile crept along Teddy’s face. Now he felt like his chances were better.

‘Not like anyone would let this guy kill me now.’

“Honey, I told you not to call anyone for this party. I just wanted to slow dance with you.” He could see the lady’s eyes widen as he said it.

‘She actually saved my ass there. I’ll send her a special bear later.”

The bears closest to him pointed their guns to the vent above them. They knew there was people up there. It was attached to their previous order.They needed make sure no one stopped teddy. It was about 9 minutes passing in at this point.

“You two, focus on making sure I don’t get shot.” Teddy’s head snapped to the wounded bear. “ You, keep your gun pinned on the guy over there! It’ll be over soon.”

Teddy knew there were more people around other than the people in the vent. He had seen this run before. The police always tried to intimidate the criminal with sheer numbers on all sides. He knew that more of the squadron would either be on the sides of the building or to try to force him to use the back exit. Nope, that wouldn’t be the case today. Teddy, turned himself away from the attendant and swooped onto the first person he saw. He grabbed a woman who was on the ground. She was still coughing from the smoke screen. The woman had been covering her face with the sleeve of her brown trench coat.

“Come with me Miss. I am awfully sorry for the face full of smoke.” He was actually charming, though he was forcing her to come with him. His arm wrapped around her neck and the cannon was pressed to her temple. “Stay cool, and this will be a very short walk. Got it?”

The woman’s height compared to his, protected his vital organs. Teddy was glad this woman’s hair was short too. He could shove her away with ease and not have her entangled with his bag when he did try to make a run for it. He walked her up the main aisle of the bank and made sure to keep his attention on the crazy.

A group of six people holding some ak’s pushed their way into the bank, the first responders fanned out along the edges of the bank. Then a pair of identical twins wandered in. They also had a pair of guns, but they didn’t seem as on edge as the obvious grunts that entered before them. One of them, had sharp horns poking through his suit all over his body. THe man’s state seemed off, like walking in a cloud, but alert in some odd fashion. His brother seemed to be normal, at first glance.

“You sure cutting it close. I thought you had time restraints.” The “normal brother said as took a step forward.

“Shut up Thorn. Your men need to pay attention to the dude over there.” Teddy said as he nodded his head to the right side of the room. “Also, we have the blue boys.”

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

[RyanH901]

*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?"

[Weird Tales]

Vindicator

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!

[Endrance]

As if in a blur, one younger looking hero had entered the premises and drawn one of the bear men away from her. She was thankful for that but she kept her eyes focused on the suspect. She didn't want to have to shoot but she would if she needed to. The Vigilante had his hands up, though. That was probably the neutral party then. Still, a wild card.

This suspect was a cunning one, she would give him that. He already knew her men would be trying to make their way up through the vents. Hearing but a slight vibration, one of the bears emptied a clip into the first tile next to the vent. She could hear a thud and then another, as one of her responding officers fell head first through the vent. It was a leg wound and he was down for the count in the middle. She lowered her gun and ran to the officer out of duty but it was at that precise moment, a hostage was taken by the suspect and the violent one of the bears turned their attention at the Vigilante with a roar. It fired a shot at him, and tried to rush him.

[Cue Cool Battle Scene between the Vigilante and the Bear]

Eyes wild, Chief began searching for ways to get them out of this situation. Officer Langdon had already been helping lead civilians into the safe room, and there was a bear that had taken herself hostage in this situation. The officer moaned, "mmm...sorry..."A raspy wounded voice said. She shook her head and told him to relax.

Two shots rang off from the distance that had missed one of the bears by an inch. The snipers were out now, and the bear seemed more frazzled than anything. Quickly manuevering herself behind the bear she said "DROP YOUR WEAPON" She said but in a big poof, the bear reverted back into a toy. This was why she didn't see these things pop up on the map as enemies when she tried to use her quirk earlier. She picked it up and squeezed it, using some of her own quirk. She now gathered that this thing would take some time to come back to life. For now, she had to worry about that hostage he took. This quirk seemed too deadly on her own so she knew that she'd have to let this one go to the pros or try to talk him down... After she helped her officer. She radio'd the snipers to stand down because of the messy situation that had taken place.

Langdon was still in the room they'd entered from defending the civilians and making sure they all stayed put, but she needed him to help carry the wounded officer out. She attempted to call for backup on her radio, but stopped after making intial contact with HQ. The two baddies she saw on the map... they decided to make their debut.

[AyeYoWorm]

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*

[Crystalmushroom]

The blood in teddy’s body began to boil. Mio, The bear who had been shot at earlier was able to pull himself together and tried to fight again. Only to be cut in two. Teddy tried to remain calm. What people didn’t know was that the toys do have a personality of their own. Ciscero, the bear that initiated the fight with Vigilante, held grudges and sometimes would disobey orders. The only one he could count on was Kazue. The only bear to listen intently to his orders. They were his friend and he felt their pain.

It took everything in him not to shoot the kid who cleaved Mio right between the eyes. Horn saw mouthed out I got this. Horn knew how much Teddy grieved killing and knew how bad that would be. He went after the kid. Teddy tightened his grip on the hostage.

“Lady, I’m almost at the door. Just a little longer and we part ways.” He told her this not because he was trying to reassure her. Teddy was trying to ground himself.

That’s when the worry came, The bears made and interested popping noise when they transformed back. His eyes were big, He forgot to set his timer. This meant 20 minutes were up. Teddy shot his gun hand into the money bag, grabbed hold of the real gun and placed it back on the hostage’s temple.

‘Can’t have them knowing about the toy gun.’

Spike had been quiet while they waiting for all of this to be over. No one posing any real threat at the moment, but he also wasn’t thinking clearly because of the drugs. He didn’t even notice his brother walking away when he did. The only thing that got his attention was the men pointing the guns at the vigilante, the bankway of the bank, face the front making sure no one shot at Teddy. His vision a haze, but he could get done what he needed to.

“Spike come to the front of the building with me. Make sure someone grabs the pandas!”

“Fuck you Teddy, you know I don’t take orders from you. Where is Thorn?”

A couple grunts knelt down while they had their guns pointed and grabbed the bears and placed them inside their jackets.

Once Spike had a chance to look, he saw his brother’s body on the ground. Thorn’s spikes were gone and that usually never happened. Spike thought the worst. His teeth couldn’t clench any harder.

“THORRRRRRRRNNNNNNNN! THIS SHIT IS DONE!!!!!!!!” He yelled as balled up his fists and tightened his muscles. In a moment spiked were sent flying in all directions.

“Oh fuck! Here he goes!” Teddy hissed as shoved the hostage out of the way to his left side. Next, He dove out of the broken glass from the bank door.

Spike’s quirk was form more projectiles. The pain didn’t bother him right now. The pain medication was pretty strong. He readied himself to send out another wave.

[MoMochas]

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?
