Rikiya slowly felt himself come to, body barely pulsing with power. "That's it, keep it coming!" A morning fight was basically his coffee. And two top ten with a couple of U.A brats was essentially three extra large cups of espresso.
"Dude, in case you haven't noticed, it's over." A black kid spoke to him. "You're completely covered in chains, and your hands can't touch anyone to suck out their energy, give it up." It was true, he had been caught off guard and it had cost him and that 'double' of his time.
However, it seemed Mimic pressed the 'assurance' collar. One one hand, he was becoming a druggie with how much he used the stuff. On the other hand? It was fucking worth it . He began to inhale, orange smoke leaving the bodies of every tied up Yakuza, every officer, and every hero began to lose their stamina. "What the, he's not touching us! How is he doing this?" One man shouted in confusion.
"It's Trigger!" The frog girl shouted, barely able to leap out of her way as she grabbed her partner. "Their quirks are getting enhanced!"
"Well, one of them is." He blinked, turning to notice that double slowly popping. Looks like it couldn't handle all that power. Luckily, he wasn't that pathetic. He felt the chains snap as he got larger … and larger … now towering over even the mighty Ryukyu, laughing.
"Alright, who wants to be my dinner, you gaggle of whores and retards?" He looked down at the pathetic children and two top ten heroes, already feeling a minor power high.
"People keep saying I'm sweet, but I don't know if sweet meat is something people would want to eat." The blue haired bimbo flew in the air and shot those weak energy blasts. "And then there's being a cannibal, which is highly frowned upon in most societies."
"Oh just shut it you dumb bitch!" He slapped his hand at the bitch, treating her like a fly as she was sent flying. He laughed as he went on to try and stomp the pathetic heroes. This was too easy.

Twice POV Talking with Iruma and pissing off Mimic
"Stay back, this could get ugly." Mr speckles held up some stamps that were really weird, super cool . "We need you to move forward.
"Not so fast, you'll all be stopped by me." The clone smirked. "The one and only Kendo Ra-"
NOW! He and Toga two began to strangle and stab the Rappa clone from behind, until it burst. The heroes were surprised enough they actually held their weapons lower. "We're switching sides. It's a triple cross. " He answered.
"So you're fighting Overbird too! That's great! I knew you were good people!" Wolf Kid shouted eagerly. He obviously held in a lot of pain.
"Kettei, they have records of violence, thievery, and murder." The mr snob stated, looking disappointed.
"But the enemy of my enemy is my friend, right?" They were friends? We're enemies? "Besides, the mask man is funny, and you're always saying how important it is to laugh in a difficult situation."
"Making jokes out of death is not what I-I can't even argue right with a moron like you, how have you dealt with this boy for half a year?" Specs asked Mr hobo.
"Partially with booze, partially with beating criminals, partially because he legitimately needs psychiatric help." Hey look, something they had in common!
"Bullshit, you think you'll get away that easy?" He was forced to perfectly hastily dodge a sharp spike that nearly hit him, the boy dodging as well, and looking like he was nursing a headache. "You're in my domain you bastards."
Oh please, that meant no … his mask was gone. Your face is a mask, peel it off. No, stop it, get out. I'm the one that lived here first, you get out. Stop it, stop it. Where's our money, you thief. Make it quiet, make it quiet, make it QUIET! Let's bleed and punch ourselves for fun!
"Oh, does this help?" Wolf kid said as he felt something wrap around his head. "Sorry about your mask, it looked really cool." Bandages were covering the exposed area. "I freak out sometimes when I'm trying to hide from something dangerous too."
"Nah, he's got a voice problem." Toga two helped by patting him. "He needs help remembering that he's here, or it feels like someone else takes over." She leaned down. "But as long as he's got friends, he'll be okay, right big guy?" Yeah, she was his friend. Ene- his friend, that was certain.
"I get that. I've been trying hard just to survive for this long, and I thought I was okay with it, but it was super lonely." The Wolf Kid also patted his back. "My life is more dangerous now, but I don't mind when I have my friends with me." Yeah … maybe this kid was a friend too?
"Is-is this a common occurrence? Talking with villains as if they can be moved out of their dangerous mindsets and willingly hand themselves over?" Mr snob asked once more, this time at both Hobo man and Bunny woman.
"He did talk down Shigaraki during the first attack on U.A to be fair." Hobo Man rolled his eyes.
"I view it as boring but practical, bleeding heart and all that." Bunny woman shrugged.
"Would you all shut it with this bullshit sentimental shit!?" The room started to twist and turn. "You all are weak and pathetic heroes that can't do shit right now, so caught up in your monologs and development you can't even notice the fact your in a death room!" Said room suddenly stopped. "Um … what's going on?" Spoke a very normal voice.
"If you're going to talk, you should do it from a distance." Hobo man looked at a faraway wall with red eyes, where Mimic was hanging.
"Now I know what you're thinking." The man in the wall pleaded. "Should I knock out that man? And the answer may supri-" He was cut off by multiple attacks to the stomach and face. "Damn…you…traitors!"
"That's right, backstabbing all around! We never joined to begin with! We're taking the Yakuza down!" Twice shouted out, doing a victory cheer. Everything was comin up the LOV.
"Oh, so since you've been here, do you know where Overbird is? I need to punch him in the face, really, really hard." His new Wolf Friend asked.
"The secret tunnel is that way." Toga-two pointed out. "Which means … we run the other way!" She grabbed onto Twice's arm, laughing as they began hightailing it out of there.
"No … No … I refuse to believe what this idiot did actually worked!" He faintly heard Snob's voice as they disappeared.

Red Riot … no, Kirishima could only watch as Fat Gum was beaten to a pulp. All of Yaoyorozu's creations either didn't scratch the barrier or shattered from punches. 'Damn it, Damn it! I thought I finally crossed that gap! I was supposed to be stronger!' All that time, getting whacked, thrown, exploded, punched, kicked, and beaten on the head and his 'unbreakable' form cracked after one attack!
'Is it just birth? Some people are born better than others?' Did training really not matter in the face of power, like Bakugo, or Todoroki, or these crazy bastards. Was it all not worth it in the end?
"Hehehe! It's a bit one sided, but I'm enjoying having you as my new punching bag!" Rappa kept beating back the pro, the hero that's been hyping him up ever since he started this work study. Someone so manly was putting his life on the line for someone like him!
Here Fatgum was, defending him, rushing into danger naturally to protect him, even when he couldn't do anything to fight back….just like Mina did all those months ago against that giant villain. A flashy quirk, a great personality..that's what people looked for in a hero nowadays…not him … not plain … useless him….
Fuck that.
He pushed himself, instantly going into his unbreakable state, rushing in and crossing his arm. Harder, harder, harder. Even harder than unbreakable. Hard enough that he can't move his body, that everything is stationary and stuck. The hits hurt, even at his almighty maximum they hurt. He can't even make noise, his throat making growls as he takes these hits.
"Alright kid, that's some spirit!" The villain shouts. "You're taking hits like a man would!" He got harder just from that-okay wow that sounded wrong. Was he saying stuff like that all the time? Were people really just super nice and didn't want to bring it up? Why was it when he was unable to talk or move while getting his ass handed to him he was at his most introspective? Oh great, now he's thinking about existentialism!
"Red Riot, you can do it!" Momo cried out to him as she was creating something big to take care of the barriers. "You have the manliest spirit in class! You're the one that rallied us during Kamino! Even when everyone was down, you charged forward! Your spirit is unbreakable!"
She was right, he could do this! He could do this! He wouldn't break! He was unstoppable! Nothing would get past him-okay wow, these were starting to hurt really bad now. Maybe he should up his pain tolerance, naturally bulk up without hardening. It could save him the trouble of just needing to up his quirk. No, don't think of pain! You're unstoppable!
"THIS IS AMAZING, KID! You've lasted a whole five seconds!" Wait, this has been going on for five seconds!!? How the fuck have they been talking normally!? How fast was he processing information? How much longer was this guy gonna keep hitting him-and there goes his body. Thank god, he didn't know how much more deep thought he could take.
"Looks like we both underestimated Red Riot…" He saw Fatgum's fist glow yellow as he swore the man was getting skinnier. Those hits must've taken more out of him than he thought. "..and his chivalrous spirit!"
"And that does it." The yellow guy put up a barrier. "Recover, your arms have thrown too many punches, you need a cool down."
"Which we're not going to give you!" Creati heaved out heavily with…whoa, was that a cannon? Wait, she made cannons before, why did this one take so long? Wait, this was glowing. "Behold the power of electromagnetism! Railgun Cannon!" Apparently Kaminari inspired her to make something strong enough to pierce through the shield … and the wall behind them. Was she trying to blow heads off!?
"And let me tell you something else!" Fatgum shouted. "I'm also a spear!" His boss threw a glowing punch that sent the villains flying into the same wall.
"So….Manly…." He let out one last time before closing his eyes. Now that was Plus Ultra.

Suneater looked down at the three tied up villains. "That was … surprisingly easier than I anticipated." Apparently the blond was so weak he went down with three of Sugar Man's punches, leaving Suneater to defeat the other two since his manifestations weren't being stolen. "I really thought this was going to be harder, with how many life and death stakes are in this mission and all."
"It's a bit of a coin toss in all honesty. We must have gotten heads." In all honesty Suneater thought they would have had to go Plus Ultra. Then again these guys called themselves the 'Garbage Trio', so hindsight is twenty twenty.
"Oh, sure, laugh it up, mock us while we're down." The man with the larceny quirk rolled his eyes. "Because that's what we're meant for. To be endlessly mocked and thrown away while freaks like you get parades and toys made in your likeness."
"No, they asked for the right to do it and I told them no. If everyone saw my face they'd just cry out that it's the lame and horrible hero that should be tossed down the drain." It was natural after all.
"....." The three villains looked at each other. "Were we really beaten by this doormat?" The bald man asked. "This seems more demeaning than getting robbed by that Suzuki kid."
" "Food…hungry…" The bag headed villain stared at his binds.
Come on Tamaki, remember, they're potatoes, they're potatoes, they're-the potatoes hate you! Wait, they were villains. You shouldn't listen to them! What they say doesn't matter! The only voices that mattered were Fatgum, Nejire, and Mirio! And his Kohai, because they are the next generation of heroes. Sugar Man thought he was okay, right? He turned to the boy.
"Dude, you're able to take two at a time, you don't need to.." Sugarman was interrupted when the Diamond skin guy headbutted him back..what, no! How…
"Food, food, food!" The bag head was chomping through his binds, eating through his octopus arms like they were fresh sushi! Okay, let's review. What to eat? More clams? No, those would just get robbed, they were hand held enough. He needed something bigger, on his skin, like … He took a bite out of the crystal villain.
"You think this is going to scare me off?" Diamond skin threw him off as he made sure to rip off a small piece of the man's skin. "We're basically human garbage. Some of us became so desperate at one point in our lives we tried to kill ourselves! But Overhaul came in, so we're prepared to give our lives no matter what!"
"Then you better mean it." He muttered. "Manifestation Chimera: Kraken." He grew out everything he could. Tentacles, crystals, shells, plant vines he got from when a villain threw dirt at his face, claws from a wolf bun Kettei brought with him. He swung around bladed and armored whips, wrecking the place as he stared down the three villains. Damn it, he was horrifying to look at! His Kohai was staring at him with a gaping mouth.
"Man…that's probably the coolest thing I've seen any of the big three do. You're amazing, Suneater! You can actually give Iruma's pallet a run for its money." Oh … he blushed a bit, the tentacles backing down a bit. "Wait, don't get embarrassed, kick their asses!" Oh right, villains. He threw his attacks as the three villains crashed into a wall, unconscious.
"What…the…hell…are…" The larceny villains barely got out as he fainted.
"I have a light that can take out the sun…" Mirio, the brightest light he's ever seen, a light that for some reason saw something amazing in Tamaki. That was a faith he wouldn't let down no matter what! "That's why I'm Suneater!"
"How are you so badass!?"

Deidoro took another swing of sake, loving the burning feeling it gave his throat. Man, life was good. How many jobs out there actually allowed you to drink while on the clock?
One, that's how many. This simple security job that he didn't even need to move a single muscle for. All he literally had to do was show up and be there while Overhaul and the other guys killed whatever prick of the week got in the way. He could just hang from the ceiling for hours following him, which he was because heroes were invading the compound.
Oh, and he had to throw knives here and there, but that was easy. He could do it with a blindfold, so that was no real work. "Chiaski!" Oh, looks like it was time for duty. Some fool in a big cape just showed up. "We need to have a talk!"
"Oh, Lemillion was it?" The man turned to look around, Eri in hand. "I take it you're the one hero that managed to slip by … hey, ask him the question."
Shin turned around. "Did you happen to run into a school girl on your way here?"
"No, I came through here without seeing anyone other than the wall guy …." Lemillion blinked with a look of shock. "What the …"
"Looks like I need to talk to Shigaraki about his 'help' and their work ethic." Uh oh, someone was in trouble. Ha!
"How did you get here so quickly?"
"My quirk Permeation allows me to pass through anything." The kid covered his mouth while staring at Shin, likely guessing what the guy's quirk did
"I'll give Mimic a pass, that seems like a hard quirk to beat." The man shrugged. "Sadly, I'm on a tight schedule, so my associates will have to entertain you."
He grinned, hanging from the ceiling and letting his quirk wave out below. There goes your vertigo! "Hahaha! Not a problem boss man! I'll…hic…save you a cup once this is all over!"
"You're not…." The kid swayed back and forth. "Going anywhere … with Eri!"
"So you felt some guilt after learning the whole story? You seemed pretty content playing the ignorant idiot." Overhaul scoffed. "Why bother? You're no hero to her."
"Tell us why you think you're worth living." Shin went ahead, asking the dark questions as he took a shot.
"I…I don't….and right now I don't care about my life!" The kid struggled to stay steady as he was still able to phase through bullets. "The man is torturing his own daughter! Why the hell would you ever support a monster like that!?"
"The boss's ambition outweighs whatever highground morality you heroes love to spew daily! His goals will bring us a new era of prosperity and peace beyond anything comprehend! A true era of equality and nourishment for the soul." A bit preachy for his taste, but he wouldn't judge. "An era you'll sadly never be a part of!" Shin shot his gun as he threw his knives.
"Something I'll be grateful for everyday!" The kid held in his breath as he slid himself into the walls. The next thing they knew, he was jumping from every angle of the room, becoming a red and white blur. He got hit before he knew it, falling to the ground and dropping his booze, damn it. "And I'll make sure it never comes to be, by making sure she stays safe!" The boy punched Overhaul in the face and grabbed Eri, sliding back.
"Please…go back…" The little girl pleaded. "You'll die…he'll kill you…or I'll kill you…"
" You…." Overhaul said darkly. Oh … shit … he touched the boss. The hives were kicking in. "I see … you're as infected as everyone else. Don't worry, I'm a doctor." The man spoke, touching the floor. "I'll make sure to rip out that poison from your mind." Deidoro wished he could take another swing as the room changed. He would have to get 'serious' now.
