While Aska was get to meet Momo's friends, "I see you're here as well puzzle boy" he heard a voice coming from behind him
Aska turned around and saw a girl with light purple hair and eyes the same color.
"Puzzle girl? I didn't expect you to be here" - Aska replied. 'So that's the person I felt before'
"As unfortunate as it may be, I have to attend this event tonight" - Saiko said in an annoyed tone.
"Oh? Why is that unfortunate?" - Aska
"A Family member invited me, so I can't even decline, that would be rude" - Saiko
"Ohh? Do you two know each other?" - Shina asked, and Momo paid attention as well
"Yeah we meet on I-Island a few years back" - Aska
"OHH, that's cool, but what's this puzzle thing?" - Shina
"We were solving this puzzle on I-Island, we disagreed on how to solve it, but it turns out both of us were correct, that's all" - Saiko answered this time
The group were chatting about many different topics.
----------
"Are you sure it's ok to do this?" - masked person 1
"Yeah I'm sure. All of those kids in there come from wealthy families, just imagining the ransom money is giving me goosebumps" - masked person 2
"But, do you think these wealthy families would let their children go without protection?" - masked person 1
"Don't worry, the venue doesn't let the bodyguards in, they are staying outside the hall" - masked person 2
"So what do we do?" - masked person 1
"Idiot! how many times do I have to tell you. Listen I'll only say this once. First we will...
----------
"Well anyway that was how Aska defeated the birdbrain villain" - Momo said with a proud look on her face
""WOW"" about seven or eight girls around Momo exclaimed
'Why does she seem more proud about that then me?' - Aska thought to himself with a little chuckle, seeing all the girls around Momo.
"Aska, is it real, did you really fight that strong villain like that" - Shina
"Well, I did help a bit, but All Might did all the heavy lifting" - Aska
"Don't be so modest, I saw how the whole thing went down" - Momo said causing the girls around to ask more questions about the incident.
'She seems to very sociable, and has lots of friends, though having many friends isn't particularly good, or bad. But I think she's nice' Aska thought to himself as he looked at Momo talking to the other girls with a smile on her face.
"I hear that you're an electric type. Is that true?" Aska looked to his left and saw boy his age. He was a little taller than Aska, had a tan skin tone, green eyes and brown hair. His name is Oye Eiji. Oye is Shina's boyfriend they came together.
"Yes. I believe Shina also mentioned you're an electric type" - Aska
"That's true. Though unlike you I'm not a fighter, I'm more into mechanics and gadgets" - Oye
"My dad happens to be the same. He talks about gadgets all the time, though I don't really understand him most of the time haha" - Aska said with a small laugh
"haha, trust me I know what that's like. I say I'm into gadgets, but I'm not good at it" - Oye as he rubbed the back of his head
"Why do you say that? Shina said you're very talented, and hard working" - Aska
"Shina is just being nice. I can only work hard, I want to become the best equipment maker in japan. What about you Aksa? Do you perhaps have a goal you wish to achieve?" - Oye
"I want to become the number one hero" - Aska
"Really?! I guess that is possible for you huh. I heard Momo talking about how you fight" - Oye
'Oye seems to be a nice guy and for some reason we hit it off, does being electric types have anything to do with it?' Aska thought to himself.
With talking and chatting, Aska had subconsciously let his guard down, and his observation haki was limited to his immediate vicinity.
'Hum...I though this was supposed to be a show why are they not starting?' Momo noticed that the fashion show that was supposed to be held tonight has yet to start
Momo looked around and saw Aska talking with Oye with a smile on his face. 'Maybe I'm just overthinking it, maybe they have an issue with the outfits or something' Momo thought and then went back to listening to the girl's chatter.
Just as Momo had started talking with the girls again, the curtains on the stage suddenly burst open and a group of 5 men ran out with weapons in their hands.
Momo and the group of girls were the closest to the stage. They were the first to be taken as hostages.
"NOBODY MOVE! DON'T MAKE A MOVE!" One of the men shouted at the group of girls while pointing a weapon at them. "GET ON THE GROUND. EVERYONE ON THE GROUND!" He shouted at them.
Aska was shocked and just as he was about to make a move, another man showed up in front of him and pointed a gun at him. 'Crap! I let my guard down' Aska expanded his observation as far as he can. 'There are five here, and I can feel five more outside. It looks like the sneaked up on the guards outside' Aska was surprised that the bodyguards are already out. Just as Aska was planning what to do next, a metal nozzle was pointed at him
"A rifle? Really?" - Aska asked sarcastically.
"GET ON THE GROUND!" the masked man shouted at Aska.
"What if I don't" - Aska
"I'LL SHOOT. DON"T MAKE ME REPEAT MYSELF. GET ON THE GROUND!" - the man shouted again, but he failed to notice the small purple flicker around Aska's hand.
"Shoot then, because I'm not getting on the ground" - Aska said almost board
"Then I'll make you" the man lowered his rifle a bit. Instead of aiming at Aska's face, he aimed at his feet. He didn't want to actually shoot Aska, he just wanted to shoot near his feet and scare him a bit. Just as the man pulled the trigger the rifle in his hand exploded and caused serious damage to the man's hands, arms, and face. The explosion attracted the attention of the other masked men.
"STAY DOWN!" the masked man shouted at the group of girls, who seemed to be startled by the small explosion. "You go check on him" he then told one of the other men to go and check on their fallen comrade.
"He is only passed out. But the left side of his face is damaged and his arms are badly injured" - the man reported to the boss.
Aska just stood there watching the entire thing go down. He looked bored but his observation haki was keeping track of every single thing going on in the hall.
"Brat, what did you do?" the leader noticed that Aska was calm and not affected by any of this. He knew that Aska did something.
'They're just a bunch of weaklings. No way they actually think they can pull this off' Aska looked at the group of thugs in amusement.
"How about you let them go and I won't hurt the rest of you" - Aska
"..." the leader was quietly watching Aska.
"Fine, I'll hurt the rest of you then" - Aska said nonchalantly
The next moment Aska's palm was covered in purple lightning, all of the guns in the room started to shake and then floated out of their owners hands. Aska aimed all of the guns at the thugs.
"Wait what! Boss there was no mention of kid who can do that on the list!" One of the thugs shouted at their boss
"A List? That's interesting" - as Aska said that he created multiple pale blue needles and sent them flying towards the three thugs, only leaving the leader out.
The leader looked around him and saw one of his men, injured face and arms, and the other three are shaking on the floor with foam coming out of their mouths.
"Please do tell, what list was he talking about?" - Aska as he walked slowly towards the leader
The leader pulled out another gun, but this gun is made completely out of plastic
"A plastic gun?" - Aska was confused for a moment
"Don't move. It's plastic yes, but it does just as much damage as the real ones" - The leader
'I knew one of these kids was an electric type who can temper with equipment, though the list said he was a cowered. Where did this little monster come from' The leader's brain was thinking of what to do, but Aska brought him out of his thoughts,
"I won't repeat myself. What is this list your men were talking about? Who gave you the list?" - Aska asked again but sounded more impatient.
The man kept his gun pointed at Aska. The man was so focused on Aska he didn't notice Momo, who was in the group of girls near him, making a taser and handcuffs.
'Should I let her take care of him?' Aska obviously knew what Momo was doing. 'I'll let her take him down' Aska decided that he will leave this man to Momo.
"It looks like you don't want to talk. That's fine, I can ask questions later" Aska kept walking towards the man slowly, the man, shot at Aska.
Aska's arm was already in front of his face and metallic in color before the bullet reached him. 'The bullet is made out of plastic, or more like glass, I'm not sure what this bullet is made of' Aska looked at the bullet that just hit his forearm.
"What?!" - Leader was confused. 'The boy just deflected it? What did he do?' He was really confused.
Momo used that moment of hesitation and jumped at the leader
"HYAAA" With a shout she stabbed the taser towards the leader.
'Is she dumb? Why would she shout while sneaking up on someone?' Aska was confused why did Momo do that
The leader was surprised but he was able to catch Momo's arm before the taser touched his chest. The leader twisted Momo's arm and put the gun right to her face. "Make one more move and she dies"
"How did that happen Momo?" - Aska ignored the man and asked Momo
"I tried to do something but I just gotten the way, I'm sorry" - Momo wasn't as calm as Aska
"You shouted while sneak attacking someone. That's not very sneaky" - Aska still ignoring the man and chatting with Momo.
"I said don't make a move!" - the leader shouted again.
Aska ignored him and kept slowly walking towards the man. "Fine! I'll make you stop moving" the man then pointed the gun he had in his hand at Momo legs and shot.
Just before the leader pulled the trigger Aska had picked Momo up from the man's arms and what seemed like, he teleported back to the spot he was standing in.
"What?" the leader was so confused, he didn't even feel Momo getting taken from his arms.
Aska just threw a lightning needle at the man. Everyone watched as the man slumped on the floor and started shaking.
Aska put Momo down.
"Thank you" - Momo said with a blush on her face
"I'll be back" - Aska smiled back at Momo and walked out of the building.
