It's already been three weeks since Giran told me about the appearance of the drug, after that it proceeded to get banned all over the world, and last week it was banned in Japan.
I'll never understand how banning a drug would affect people that already buy most of their stuff from alternate sources. But Trigger was already dangerous even without villains using it. It makes your quirk stronger but it weakens your sense of reason.
I don't even know how this drug managed to get approved in the first place. They usually test them before releasing them to the public. But that isn't my problem.
Giran managed to score a meeting with a distributor to talk about prices and supply. He isn't all that interested, but he's decided to do me a solid. In exchange for taking down another group that's bothering him, of course.
I was obviously present to watch, from a distance of course. I travelled all the way to Tokyo for this meeting, telling my dispatcher that I was going on a holiday. Giran was also a bit annoyed that he needed to travel a bit, but playing poker on the train with him was fun.
But he got over the travel time quickly, he does this kind of stuff for a living. When he reached the building that the meeting was planned in, I could already feel some people inside.
They are most likely just some thugs Overhaul sent to give more details about the deal.
Now all I needed to do was to follow the thug, but I couldn't use my quirk too much since it's bright and not that good for stealth. I followed them quietly to the entrance of the labyrinth.
Then I flew towards their main compound using my perception to follow the underground tunnels.
I managed to follow them right back to their compound, the thugs he sent weren't exactly trained enough to notice that they were being followed.
Now, I've decided to talk about this matter with Rumi, after about 4 months of working and training together it would feel inadequate if I kept this type of thing from her.
But I don't think she is unable to protect herself, bringing her along should be fine. Taking out my phone and calling her. At this point, I had her number on speed dial. She took a while to pick up the phone.
After a quick greeting and a few questions.
"Hey, Rumi. I'm about to go on a raid to a yakuza compound, you wanna join?" I got straight to the point, I was already in front of their compound after all.
"I have something planned already. Why, do you need any help?" Well, that's sad. I don't remember her talking about anything planned during our training two days ago.
I was actually excited to fight alongside her. I had already planned how we would distribute the villains and how we were going to attack from different sides...
"No, it's fine. Have a fun day!" My response probably feels a bit off, but this is the first time she ever refused to meet up with me. I hung up after saying that.
Maybe I should call her out on a date from time to time. I never call her on unrelated stuff, taking a break would be nice.
Well, that makes things more boring than they have to be. But I still need to save Eri.
At this point, a straight forward approach would work best, since my quirk isn't suited for an infiltration. I will just fly in their compound. They don't seem to have aerial defences. At least I can't remember if they did.
So I turned into a ray of light and crashed through the roof of their main building.
The first people that came to check the disturbance were Kendo Rappa and a few dozen thugs. I didn't really remember all of the members of Shie Hassaikai. But I remember this guy having a nice quirk.
Not that it matters, I don't have time for games. I quickly took him out with a well-placed laser beam. It went through his stomach and exploded in the middle of the thugs behind him.
I remember him being durable, so I quickly kicked him through the compound and out its gate. I don't think he will be moving anytime soon, or ever, but he's a villain so I don't care.
Out of the few dozen thugs, only about 6 remained, most were hit face on with the explosion, we were in an enclosed hallway after all. I wasted no time in knocking them down.
I quickly travelled using my senses. I needed to cut off their escape routes. This place had a lot of tunnels underneath, forming a labyrinth. I moved at my fastest speed and found their meeting room.
Here were the rest of the eight bullets along with Mimic. I could feel Chronostasis and Overhaul in the basement.
I quickly used Yasakani no Magatama, it pierced through the unsuspecting villains and took out all of them. Some lost a limb, some were paralyzed. I don't really care what happens to them at this point.
I rushed underground, using a light tendril to dig into the ground at great speed. When reaching Overhaul and his Right-Hand Man I broke into the wall and travelled through the tendril into his room.
I slowed down this time. The raid was practically over, It had taken 2 minutes and 14 seconds. With these two in front of me, there was no escape for them, Shie Hassaikai was over.
They recognized me instantly, my name wasn't exactly a joking matter for villains.
Overhaul was panicking a bit, but he managed to calm down. Chronostasis was just as surprised, but he recovered much quicker and said.
"How did you get in here?" As if that wasn't obvious.
"Well, after being greeted so politely in your little base I decided to visit the leader and have some tea with him..." I said 'kindly'. I was going to play around with them a bit. Give them some hope.
I think I could hear Oerhaul mutter something about useless subordinates.
"I think we can come to an understanding Yellow Flash..." Oh, it seems Chisaki was trying really hard. I almost pity him.
I absolutely ignored his rant about how this quirked is plagued and quirks are a sickness or some shit. I was really getting bored just looking at him rabble on about how great the world used to be and how quirks r*ped his wife or whatever.
"So are you going to join us?" He seems to think his rant was really convincing, he extended a hand. I contemplated a bit. Was he an idiot? I remember him being one of the smarter characters in the plot.
I left him with his hand extended. I took on a thinking posture, I looked as serious as I could. Then, with a spark in my eyes and a friendly smile on my face. I severed his hand and kicked him into a wall. We were underground so the entire structure shook.
Chronostasis quickly took out a handgun and tried to shoot me. It should be quirk cancelling bullets. I remember thinking they could be an issue. But with my speed, I can't really be hit by them. I can't remember much about them however, which is why I won't let one touch me carelessly.
I flashed in front of him and he tried to impale me with his hair, but I kicked him into the ceiling. He remained suspended there. With the upper half of his body stuck in the ceiling
Overhaul miraculously wasn't instantly knocked out. He managed to stop his stump from bleeding while Chronostasis kept me entertained. Looking at me with hatred he said.
"Why..." He tried placing his hand on the wall beside him, but a spike made out of solid light impaled his palm and pushed it away. The spike proceeded to grow more spikes that managed to impale his arm and torso in 6 different places.
"You really are hopeless..." I said with the same lazy look on my face. I knocked him out and continued to walk towards the cells.
I only have Eri to save now.
