- You're well prepared for the party. - I looked her over from head to toe, humming in satisfaction.
- Aha-ha, I'll give you that. - Melissa smiled cheerfully.
- ATTENTION! I-ISLAND SECURITY SYSTEM DETECTED A POWERFUL EXPLOSION ON THE ISLAND. A STATE OF EMERGENCY HAS BEEN DECLARED. ALL CITIZENS ARE ASKED TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS AND EXERCISE CAUTION. PERSONNEL ARE PERFORMING TROUBLESHOOTING, PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE YOUR PREMISES. THE SECURITY SYSTEM IS GOING INTO DEFENCE MODE. - suddenly a mechanical voice came from all sides, and to prove it, the glass windows and doors were blocked with metal plates.
- What happened? - Iida looked questioningly at Melissa.
- I don't understand...if the explosion was so powerful that it triggered the security system, then why didn't we hear it? - she frowned.
- That's just great, we're locked in, and we don't know why. - Kyouka said in a pessimistic voice.
- Akira, is there anything you can do? - Shoko asked me, and the others looked at me expectantly.
- Why are you looking at me like that?
- Headman, you always find a way out of every situation and come out victorious. If there's anyone to rely on, it's you and your intelligence. - said Momo, giving me a kind of praise.
- Well...do not worry, father will quickly solve everything. - I rolled up my sleeve with a wristband, and clicked on the buttons. - So, to find out the situation, we need to hack into the island's security system.
- That's impossible, the security system is copied from Tartarus, the most impregnable prison on the island. - Melissa shook her head negatively.
- Really? - I clapped my eyelashes together, and as if by accident I clicked on the hologram keyboard. - Oops, I accidentally launched a Trojan horse into I-Island's defence system...oops, the cameras are already hacked, how clumsy of me. - I comically put my palms to my cheeks. - Good thing you all saw my clumsiness and can attest to my lack of involvement.
- Not...impossible. - Melissa said in astonishment.
- Mizuiro! This is out of line! You can't hack into the security system! It's illegal! - The bespectacled man reprimanded me, and was grabbed by Kieka's shoulder.
- Iida...you don't know how uncomfortable it is for me to move in heels, and being stuck all night in a closed building without proper shoes makes me very angry...do you understand? - With a kind smile, Jiro squeezed his shoulder with force. Something smells like creepypotato.
- Eh, okay. - He shivered, moving away from the annoyed girl so as not to piss her off again.
I looked through the cameras, what is going on in the main hall and the situation, let's just say, it smells unpleasant, I would even say, a little shit.
- The room where the party is being held is occupied by a terrorist group, no idea how, but they managed to hack and reprogram the security system and use it to capture all the characters at the party, including the Almighty...ah, I see now, they have a hacker, a mediocre one of course, and it's unlikely he could do it alone, maybe someone in the management staff helped him.
- What? They were captured by the bad guys? But how could they capture the Almighty? - Seko wondered.
- They're holding the whole island hostage right now, the terrorists could kill a bunch of people at any moment, through security devices and drones. - I added more information. - The Almighty and the other heroes have been captured by the building's security system...it's not a problem for the Almighty, but he still can't do anything, because he can provoke the villains, they can force the island's security system to attack the citizens...anyway, while my virus is hacking the I-Island system, I can quietly disarm all the terrorists.
- But that's too dangerous! - exclaimed a worried Momo.
- Yaoyorozu...what were we even trying all this time and training to be heroes for then? - Shoko looked at her own palm.
- We're far from being heroes yet. - She replied, pressing her clenched fist to her chest.
- In short, I do not care who is there, what he wants and can not, and I'll go and otmudokhayut main evil with his henchmen, spoiling my spa holidays. - with an angry face, I said.
- We'll help. - with confidence in her voice, held me up to Ochako.
- Yes. - Shoko agreed with her.
- Nah, you all sit here quietly, and I'll take care of things quickly. - I flatly refused to help. - Especially, it will be easier for me to free Professor Shield and his assistant, who were taken somewhere on the upper floors by their leader. - I showed you the holographic camera footage from my wristband.
- Did they get Dad?! - Melissa, who had been silent until then, spoke up. - Then...I'm coming with you!
- No way, I said, no one's coming with me.
- But...Daddy, how will he manage...' replied Melissa who was ready to cry from bitterness.
- Don't worry, I'll rescue Mr Shield and bring him back safe and sound. - I made a promise.
- I believe you... - Melissa suddenly pulled me to her, pulling my tie and touched my cheek lightly with her lips. - ...Please save my daddy...' she pleaded with me.
- When asked by a beautiful blonde-haired girl, it's hard to refuse.
I wish all the girls would smack me for saving her. - I looked at the other ladies with regret.
- Melissa, we told you not to fall under the spell of that tempting serpent! - Ochako was indignant.
- I didn't...' she shifted her gaze to me and blushed a little. - ...Maybe a little.
- Soon the lifts will work again, so as soon as they switch on, go up to the main hall, by that time I'll try to deal with everything. - I gave the last bit of information and disappeared into the teleporter that opened.
And I moved to the security room, which was occupied by a hacker with three of the strongest evil-doers from all this gang, and the rest remained in the hall, guarding the bound heroes. By the way, they were all wearing X-shaped masks.
- Good evening, gentlemen. Permission to beat you up for ruining my holiday. - I emerged from the teleportation gate and threw in a few snide words.
- Who's this bloke? - asked the tallest villain with the long neck.
- I have no idea, the boss didn't warn me about this...but who cares, we'll kill him. - replied another accomplice, and his hand transformed into a steel blade.
- Huh, for such suckers to kill me? - A small chuckle escaped my mouth.
- Don't you dawdle, you little scum. - swung at me, the man with the hand-blade...and fell unconscious, because I at super speed, hit him in the back of the head.
- It's your turn. - I turned to the other two, who came at me all at once...and all also fell to the ground, unconscious. - Easy peasy...seriously, how did you even get in here? - I asked the question, since these villains are barely B-rank. - Strange, I thought I hit you all with the same strength, you must be the strongest? - I asked the smallest and most pot-bellied terrorist, who, after my blow, was able to stand up and grow two metres, changing his skin colour to purple and increasing his muscle mass.
- RRRAAAA! Don't underestimate me!' the purple man lunged at me and slammed a huge fist into my torso.
- That's quite a punch you got there. - I praised the freak without even moving. - Get some sleep, uncle. - I took out Infiniti, and hit him on the head of the violet, with the back side, and my swing is not weak, now definitely sending him to sleep.
- Shit!' the hacker rushed towards the exit, realising he was about to be kicked...perhaps even kicked.
- Where do you think you're going? - I grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and lifted him off the ground. - Tell me how you got here, I can't believe such idiots could get to I-Island on their own. And you better be more cooperative. - I threatened him with a blade to his throat.
- I don't know anything! It was all the boss, he made a deal to create a diversion to steal the device! - ratted out his accomplices, the terrified man.
- What kind of device? And who was helping you?
- A device that can amplify quirks, created by Professor Shield. It should be on the top floors, in the vault, in one of the cells. - the hacker said. - I have no idea who helped us. It was the boss who arranged the attack.
- So it's all a setup...well, thanks for your co-operation. - I punched him in the back of the head, knocking him unconscious.
After quickly tying them up and throwing them in a pile, I moved on, but before I did, I had to teleport to the lost Katsuki, who was wandering around the eightieth floor of the greenhouses, where they do plant research.
- *Boom* you're very polite and friendly as usual. - I said ironically, getting a blast in the face as I moved behind her, and Katsuki sensed someone behind me and attacked me with a quirk without hesitation. She was dressed, by the way, very frivolously, in a red dress, with a cutout on her chest and a view of her beautiful, slender legs.
- Shut up, why the fuck are you sneaking up on me from behind?' she said with a grudge.
- Katsuki, first decide whether to tell me or keep quiet...and yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
- I'm not afraid of anyone or anything. - she mumbled, turning away.
- I know, you're the bravest and most beautiful girl in the world. - I hugged her from behind and saw a faint smile on Katsuki's face, my praise was to her liking. - And in that dress, you are simply enchanting...hmmm, you didn't wear panties, is that for me? - I noticed that along with her open legs, her intimate area was without panties, and covered by only a small part of the dress. I deliberately put my palm on the part of the dress that hid the girl's charms.
- I just forgot to put my underwear in my suitcase. - She lied, which I know, cos I keep tabs on everyone. - You've got some nerve...take your hand off me. - She demanded, exhaling languidly when I decided to stroke her virgin flower, but she was in no hurry to push me away or blow me up.
- By reverse tsundere logic, are you now asking me to fondle you? I get it. - I pulled back the fabric of the dress, revealing a smooth slit, without pubic hairs, and slipped a finger into the wet hole. - By the way, where'd you get that slutty dress?
- This old hag, ha, gave it to me...said you hah...would like it. - she replied as I moved my fingers in her bosom, occasionally eliciting moans from her lips. - Get off-get off...
- What a good mum you have. You know, your reverse logic is even a little funny. - I remarked as Katsuki cried out and showered my palm with her juices. - It's tasty, just a little sour. - I licked my finger, covered in Katsuki's juices.
- Pervert...why are you picking on me? You've got a lot of chickens over there, go hit on them! - She turned around and slapped me on the shoulder with a horny face, no wonder, she had just cum.
- Oh, what do I hear? It's hard to believe you don't care about me when you openly talk about your jealousy. - I put my palm on the back of her head and pulled her against me, kissing her lightly. - Okay, I forgot about the original mission. I'm sorry, we don't have time for this now, the tower was attacked by villains, and I need to rescue Professor Shield. - I quickly gave Katsuki the information.
- What? Villains attacked? - She asked me again...with sadness in her voice, as she seemed to enjoy doing bad things to me and didn't mind continuing. - I'm coming with you.
- Nah, you're going down with the others. Be a good girl, and obey me.
- Don't tell me what to do! - She's showing her violent temper again.
- I'm not ordering you around, Katsuki. - I slipped my hands through her dress and grabbed her tantalisingly firm buttocks, squeezing them tightly. - Let me get this over with quickly...and then we'll do something else. You'll love it, I promise. - I whispered in her ear, and she looked up at me, her red eyes playful.
- Try not to die in there. - She sort of wished me luck and walked into the portal I'd created.
Yeah, but if Katsuki was a guy...I honestly don't know if I could have a normal conversation with someone like that without wanting to punch him.
While I was talking to Katsuki, something happened, the leader of the villains couldn't contact the accomplices I knocked out, and moreover, he lost access to the security system, because I had almost completely overridden the control. The evil one had about five minutes before I could reboot the system and the Almighty would be free... and give him a thrashing, so he decided to speed up, taking off at a brisk pace towards the vault, behind the device I'd teleported to.
- Can someone explain to me what's going on here? - I appeared in the vault, where two scientists, in a hurry, opened the cell, which contained a metal case. And the thing is, just a minute ago, they were saying they'd set up this hostage attack themselves.
- Look, Akira...it's not what it looks like at first glance. - began a typical attempt at justification by Professor Shield.
- I believe you. - I said sceptically.
- Professor, it's not his fault...he's only returning what was stolen from him. - replied his assistant Sam and opened the case in his hands. - This device can amplify quirks many times over, ignoring physical stamina! - he showed the contents, namely an unusually shaped, metal hoop, along with a large flask of blue liquid.
- That doesn't explain why you conspired with the villains.
- It's a prototype for now, but it's in working order. When we showed it to investors, they froze the project, deeming it too dangerous. - said the professor depressed. - What we had worked so long and hard on was simply taken away...then Sam suggested we steal it and hire mercenaries disguised as villains so we could continue with the project. There was no other choice.
- So this is about greed?
- It's the Almighty, you don't know it, but his quirk has grown weaker over the years.
- Actually I know, he told me...and he had something to tell you and Melissa. - I put my palm to my face at the stupidity of the situation. The owner of his own design, forced to steal it with the support of some jerks. - Look, that's all well and good, but why did you hire that bastard? - I pointed my finger at the incoming leader of the evil-doers, a brown-haired man with a strange black spot on his body. And there he was, pointing a gun at me.
- Professor, thank you very much for talking the boy down and buying me some time,' he thanked Shield. - he thanked Shields. - So it was you who put my boys down, I imagined you to be a bit older...I didn't think they were beaten up by a schoolboy.
- Don't worry, you'll be joining them soon. What's your name, painful? - I threw in a derogatory tone.
- A sharp tongue won't help you. I'm Wolfram. - he introduced himself.
- That's a retarded nickname. - I grinned contemptuously, and Wolfram shot me in the face. - Uh-oh, got your gun out. - I scraped the crumpled bullet from my forehead, my skin is as strong as the strongest metal. Tungsten was impressed, but he didn't show it...but he showed that his quirk was not weak, because I was blown aside by a metal battering ram from the floor.
- What are you doing?! Sam, didn't you say the villains were fake?! - Shield exclaimed, not expecting a fake villain to do that.
- How long are you going to dig, Sam? - Wolfram ignored the professor and looked at his assistant.
- I'm coming! - unexpectedly for the professor, Sam ran up to the villain and handed him the case.
- Sam?!
- You tricked me...we wasted so much time and all for nothing...we didn't even get paid. - He turned to the professor, who unlike him was greedy and petty...and Wolfram shot him in the shoulder, causing Sam to fall to the floor, groaning in pain. - Wait...we had a deal....
- Yeah, except I picked out the reward for you. - He pointed the gun at Sam's face, but no sooner had he pulled the trigger than he was thrown upwards, hitting the ceiling with his body.
- Magnetokinesis, then. - I said, appearing beside the lying Sam. - So...did I overdo it? Shit, what if he's flying somewhere in the sky and dying...whatever, I'll cure him with life energy. Speaking of cures, my petty friend. - I extended my palm towards Sam, and used five thousand units of life force to heal the through and through wound, the unconscious scientist. - Professor Shield, is there anything you'd like to say? How about remorse?
- Yes, you're right...it's my fault, all this happened because of me. - He admitted his guilt with his head down.
- You will apologise to your daughter, she still considers you a hero, and she will be very upset when she hears the whole story. - I said and flew upwards, breaking through the ceiling, following Wolfram, and looking for him on the roof.
And I didn't have to look for him for long, because not only was he alive and well, but he had also thought of putting on an amplifying device, and I should give credit to the professor. This device, made Wolfram so strong that he took apart the entire metal top of the building, and gathered in a giant pile of metal, in the centre of which was Wolfram, strapped with metal tubes.
Wolfram's quirk is metal control, or magnetokinesis, one of the sub-species of psionics. Normally such an ability, is measured in the amount of metal weight the user can lift with a quirk, except that Wolfram's quirk, at the moment, has been amplified many times over by the device.
- HA-HA, NEVER FELT SO GOOD! AND THAT'S THANKS TO YOU, BOY PLAYING HERO! - gloated a joyous Wolfram with glowing violet eyes, and spreading his arms apart.
- I'm here! - I heard a familiar voice from behind me, and at the same second, Toshinori's fist flew into Wolfram's torso at supersonic speed. However, strangely enough, Wolfram withstood the blow and attacked the Almighty himself - Kha?! - The Almighty's body was bound by metal pipes and compressed with tremendous pressure, and his transformation limit must be at its limit right now, causing him to spit up blood.
- Impossible! I've hit full power! - exclaimed Yagi, trying to break free.
- OH, YOU'RE SURPRISED? I RECENTLY RECEIVED A CALL FROM AN OLD FRIEND OF YOURS. HE GAVE ME POWER, AND ASKED ME TO CAUSE TROUBLE FOR YOU AND YOUR PRECIOUS FRIEND DAVE! - Wolfram replied, his skin reddening and his muscles bulging, and judging by his appearance, this manipulation of his body had made him several times stronger, no wonder he was able to withstand Toshinori's blow. And I think it's obvious that the one he was talking about is All for One, he's the one who endowed him with the protective quirk.
- Damn it! All for One! - shouted the Almighty with hatred, having also guessed who Wolfram was talking about.
- I THINK THE DEATH OF THE WEAKENED ALMIGHTY BY MY HAND WILL PROVE TO EVERYONE HOW STRONG I AM. - He grinned and began to squeeze Toshinori's carcass with double zeal.
- But without the All for One handout and the Quirk amplifier, you're a second-class villain. - in one move, he cut down all the wires and pipes holding the Almighty and jumped a decent distance away with him.
- YOU'RE ANNOYING... BEFORE I DEAL WITH YOU, YOU LITTLE BRAT! - He glared at me unkindly.
- Can you stand? - I asked the Almighty, and spent half of my life energy reserve to bring the exhausted hero back to relative order.
- Ugh, thank you, young Mizuiro, I feel better already! - He showed his thumb with his trademark smile.
- You're welcome. Let's go beat up the villain. - I said as I transformed into my phantom form. - Get ready to get your arse kicked! - I slammed my fists against each other and an energy arc erupted between them.
- DIE! - Wolfram gathered metal into a dozen ten metre square projectiles of metal and hurled them at us.
- Oklahoma Smash!' he smashed some of the projectiles with a powerful swirling blow, against the metal in the rubble.
- It's not even funny. - with one hand, unleashed a huge energy wave, slicing through the remaining projectiles. - You've got a good quirk, Wolfram...too bad you don't have a normal brain. - I taunted him.
- Time to call it a day! - at supersonic speed, closing in on the villain, Toshinori.
- I'll bet. - At the same speed, I was right next to him.
- FUCKING HEROES! - Wolfram realised he was about to get hurt and closed himself in a cocoon of metal.
- 'Detroit Smash!' he swung his right arm, calling out his signature move.
- You're dead! - In turn, I extended my left palm, charged with light and decided to do without the pathos...and use a statement of fact.
Let Wolfram has a protective quirk, but in combination with his own quirk and amplifier, it should significantly increase the load of his mind and body, and our joint attack, created a huge energy wave, knocking out the remaining pieces of roof cladding, with the glass of the last floors. The villain's protective cocoon of metal, could not withstand the damage, and broke in half, Wolfram received two fists, one under the breath, and the second in the face. His defensive quirk, also failed, causing Wolfram to pass out, standing still in a pile of metal. And due to the strain on his body, Wolfram shriveled up, looking like Toshinori in his usual form.
- I had to spend money again. - I said sullenly, dispelling the phantom form that I had once again spent an inordinate amount of energy on. - It's a nice piece of kit. - I took off the metal hoop from Wolfram's head and took a quick look.
From what I saw of Wolfram, and the structure of the hoop, I can say that this device is suitable only for amplifying psionic quirks, like me and the villain. Based on Professor Shield's theory, this device should work just like that, i.e. it should activate inactive parts of the brain, giving you an extra boost to your quirk's strength and control. Except it has a major disadvantage, the amplifier is pre-injected with that blue substance. It's a special solution, with stimulants and drugs, an analogue of the trigger, only not as narcissistic and legal to use. It's an interesting device, and now that I've studied it up close, I can make my own analogue, with some tweaks. Honestly, this device looks something like my yet-to-be-built Quirk Accelerator, only Dave's design works on a different amplification principle. It's not surprising, anyone living in a superhuman world should be thinking of ways to amplify their own quirk.
- Almighty...you still haven't told the Shield family anything about the main reason for coming here, am I right? - I said, slinging the bound Wolfram over my shoulder.
- I didn't say...I just didn't have the right moment,' the Almighty excused himself sluggishly and deflated as his limit ran out.
- You're going to tell me right now. - I grabbed him by the arm and dragged him through the portal I'd made in a second. - You'd better keep quiet, because when the police come, there won't be time to talk. - I dragged the zombie hero behind me.
