__________POV Narration__________
When Machia woke up he was in the middle of a forest. He wasn't at his full height, only being around 4 meters now. He was confused and angry.
His last memories were of seeing his master being killed on live television.
Both him and Kyudai Garaki, the short doctor that kept All for One alive all of this time, were watching the television with grave expressions.
Everything became a blur from there, Machia couldn't remember how he had gotten where he was.
Machia was unable to do anything about the death of his master. He had been left to guard the laboratory.
It was supposed to be in a forest, but it was different from the one he found himself in now. He remembered the trees being taller, the landscape a bit different.
But there was something in front of him. On the ground, he could see a simple cassette tape. A portable player was near it.
He figured that this might've been Kyudai's doing. He likely has a mission to do. Since he wasn't near the place he was supposed to protect anymore.
He slowly inserted the tape into the player. Hoping to find information on his whereabouts and objective.
The recording started as soon as he pressed the play button. "Go to The Jigoku Complex and breakout Tomura Shigraki." It was simple, short. Not explaining anything about his current location.
But it told him what he needed to do. Machia didn't believe Shigaraki was the best candidate when it came to a successor. But it was his late master's choice, not his own.
The person speaking in the recording had a raspy voice, unknow to All for One's former bodyguard. It certainly wasn't Kyudai. But it was likely one of All for One's other servants.
Machia quickly rose this the greatest height he could reach using his Gigantification quirk. This way, he could look over the trees and observe his surroundings.
He was not that far away from a city, likely to be in the vicinity of the Jigoku Prison Complex. He dug underneath the ground, making his way in the direction of the city.
Doing so, he avoided gaining the attention of heroes, at least until he reached the city. Due to the infrastructure of cities, it was incredibly difficult to dig underneath them whilst remaining unnoticed.
It took the giant around an hour to reach the city. He lowered his size back to 4 meters and stepped out of the ground right into a busy street.
He asked around for some directions, the group he asked were intimidated by his appearance. But one person regained their composer quickly enough to point him in the right direction. Albeit with a trembling hand.
The giant thanked the civilians and went on his way. The complex was on the other exit of the town, all he needed to do was to walk in a straight line for around a dozen kilometres.
He managed to get around to the middle of the town before someone tried to stop him. It was a policeman. Saying something about the suspicious appearance of the Machia.
Now, Gigantomachia may not be as unintelligent as a regular Nomu. But he certainly didn't have much patience. Seeing that the policeman was interrupting his mission, he decided to rip the poor man in half.
He did that right in the middle of the street. The people were quickly alarmed and everyone started panicking, which lead to Machia getting even more annoyed.
He quickly rose to his greatest height and started merely walking through the city, giving up on any notion of stealth. He tore through the buildings obstructing his path.
His every step shook the city and cracked the streets. Leaving heavy footprints into the asphalt.
Some heroes tried to stop him, but they didn't even register in the giant's view. They were all crushed just like any civilian that found themselves standing in his way.
Machia was almost at the exit of the city, he could already see the prison in the distance. But someone else appeared in front of him. His appearance further enraged the gigantic villain.
Even when dressed in shorts and a flower pattern t-shirt, with a black pair of flip-flops, the people around the scene could recognize him.
It was the Yellow Flash. Even Gigantomachia recognized his face. He was not in hero costume, but it was hard to forget. The face of the one that had killed his master.
The hero looked up at him, giving him a lazy stare. "Aren't you a bit too brazen? Do you really think you can just waltz through a city?"
__________POV Allan__________
Gigantomachia just looked at me, growling like a mad beast. Does he recognize me? If so, I doubt I will be able to have much of a conversation with him.
But fighting him here might cause a bit more destruction than I'd like, so I'll just move him away from here.
I appeared in front of him, stomping his face and sending him flying into the forest behind him. It was also in the direction of the Jigoku Prison, but he wouldn't get the chance to cause any more trouble.
I looked at the giant in the distance, he now had a recognizable foot-print on his forehead. It's great that I happened to be in near this city, but I feel a bit bad for his victims. I think he left quite a few corpses in his wake. A lot of collapsed buildings too.
I flashed near the head of the giant. He was already up on his feet. Looking around confused. I just appeared on his shoulder and sat down a bit.
"Say, who sent you here?" I'm genuinely curious, what happened to this guy. I don't think he would go save Tomura out of his own will. He didn't exactly believe in him to become All for One's successor.
Machia growled again. But he responded this time, "Everything is for my master!" Yeah, great.
"Your master is dead. Who gave you your orders?" He didn't respond this time, he tried to crush me with his hand.
He only ended up hitting himself in the shoulder. The shockwave of which shook the entire forest.
I just appeared on his elbow, right in front of his face.
"Say, do you really think you can fight me?" As I talked, I stared him in his eyes. He wasn't intimidated by me, mainly because his hatred far outweighed his fear. But also because he is one of the strongest beings in this world.
He shook his hand around a bit, I just flew above him and looked at him for a bit. Wondering if there's any good way to capture and interrogate this person.
Well, I wouldn't do the interrogation myself, I'd leave that to the professionals. Like the ones I could sense in the helicopters making their way to this location.
They were filled with heroes and police from the surrounding cities. They mobilised a lot of people, it's probably why it took them a while to respond.
There were also the news stations. There is no way these people would lose such a great headline.
A villain attacking and destroying half a city as he makes his way towards a prison complex that detained high-risk individuals.
The Jigoku Prison Complex was much like Tartaros, but it was nowhere near as exclusive. There were 3 different underground levels. Each held villains of different rankings.
The first floor held the C-ranked villains and below. The second floor holds only B-ranked villains and the third floor holds only A ranked villains. S-ranked villains aren't being held in this facility.
It was a simple set-up, the safety protocols of the last floor were as good as those of Tartaros. Shigaraki was likely confined on the last floor.
Him not being an A-ranked villain wasn't important, he was a person of interest due to All for One's rescue attempt.
But now, for whatever reason, a person affiliated with the late All for One attacks this prison. Why didn't he do this earlier? Where was he when I attacked Kyudai's laboratory?
A lot of questions were on my mind. And there's only one way to find the answers.
