Chapter 5
_back at the house_
Amaris' POV
We were idling in the storage room. I was staring holes at the ceiling as I hum some songs I know the tune of but not the lyrics. Aouli was busy giggling and gasping as he read some books Mizuki had recommended while Agni sleeps his fatigue off. He still has that bad leg but he can manage to just limp and walk with some help from us.
I put my hand on my stomach and caressed the wound. I frown as I can still feel pain from it.
Suddenly, the doorbell rings that made me jolt and sat up. I looked towards Aouli as he stared at me, his book resting on his stomach.
"Is it ten?" He asked. I shrugged my shoulder. Clocks don't exist in the storage room.
"Wake Agni up, I'll go and see it." I said and stood up. I can hear the doorbell rang once again. Aouli starts waking Agni up as his big brother groaned.
I opened the door and went downstairs. I looked towards the living room to see any wall clock and saw one. It read 9:47.
I frowned and looked at the door suspiciously. The person knocked on the door.
"Hello? Anybody there?" They asked. I hesitated to approach the door but did so just to see this person. I peaked at the peephole and saw a white haired person who had two brown ram's horns.
"Who are you?" I asked. I saw him raise his brows and put his hand on his hips.
"I'm Naoshi Nino. Shoto-san asked me to treat the three teenagers in their house that their children had brought." He said. I furrowed my eyebrows as I backed away and unlocked the door.
"Hello, greetings, I guess." I said. He blinked at me as he looked at my ears and tail.
"I see..." He muttered as he entered the room. I stepped aside as he changed his shoes and entered the living room.
"Shoto-san said that the girl had been injured on the stomach, I assume that's you." He said. I nodded as I went to the living room with him.
"Where are your brothers?" He asked as he removed his black gloves. He put his bag on the coffee table and opened it to get the hand sanitizer.
"They are upstairs." I answered. He grumbled as he put it down. "I guess I'll call them." I muttered and he nodded.
Yes, please, thank you." He said. I raised my brows. I was silent but he can still hear me. I just took one last look at him and went upstairs.
I met Aouli and Agni at the top of the stairs while I was below. Aouli was supporting Agni as they both looked at me with helplessness. I sighed and went towards them and shook Agni's left arm to my shoulders and slowly descended the stairs.
"Careful there, kids." Naoshi-san called out. I still am weirded out by his wide range hearing. I ignore my feelings as we all descend the last stairs. Agni sighed in relief as we walked towards the living room. Naoshi-san watched us as we put Agni on the long sofa. I carefully lifted his leg up as Aouli put a pillow underneath his head.
"That's a bad leg you've got there, young man." The white haired doctor said as he stood up from the lone chair and walked towards Agni. Agni was still wearing some shorts so that the doctor could see it clearly, it made him cold though.
"Get me some chair or something to sit on." He asked as he looked at Agni's leg. I was about to go to the kitchen when Aouli stopped me and went instead. I thanked him as I sat on the sofa beside the long one.
"Okay, you man, what's your name?" He asked while Aouli hurriedly got the chair and put it behind the doctor. Naoshi-san sat at it as he started unfurling the bandages.
"I'm Agni..." Agni answered as he watched the doctor do his work. Noashi-san raised his brow.
"No last name?" He asked with a raised brow as he discarded the bandages and caressed the reddish leg of Agni.
"No, no last name." He muttered. The doctor hummed as he pushed some parts on his leg that made Agni hissed. I was ready to remove his hands but was stopped by Aouli.
"Alright, it's your life." Naoshi-san cheerily said and got up to grab some sort of ointment and a new bandage.
"Setsu-chan did a great work bandaging your bruise." He said as he sat again and opened the ointment. "You're lucky you didn't twist your bone that much and didn't tear any muscles." Agni hissed as the doctor put the ointment on.
"Why is it hurting so much?" Agni asked and grunt once again.
"Oh, sorry I didn't get to tell you." He sheepishly grinned, "It's my quirk, Agni-kun. I can fasten the healing of your leg but it'll be hell since my quirk will try to regenerate your tissues, muscles, and bones. It will go back to what it was before." He said.
"I'm careful so that you'll never suffer this much, so sorry." He apologized once again. Agni just groaned and closed his eyes. The doctor looks uncomfortable by his pain as he stops and takes the bandage. He carefully wrapped it tightly on his leg.
"Okay, be safe with that leg, Agni-kun." He said. Agni nodded and sighed in relief. "I think that's good enough to heal. On my next visit, I'll bring some anesthesia so you won't feel a thing." Agni nodded as he put his arms on his forehead.
"It's your turn, young woman." He said as he looked towards me. It made me slightly shiver but I proceeded to allow him to do his work.
He went and grabbed some napkins and wiped the ointment off his hand. He then put a hand sanitizer on.
"What's your name?" He asked me too. I blinked.
"Amaris." I said. He looks nonchalant that I didn't tell him my last name, guess he's not gonna venture again.
"Alright let me see the wound." He said as he got a scissors. I lift my shirt just above my wound as he starts cutting the bandage. He frowned hard as his hair fell on his eyes.
"You need stitches." He said. I blink, confused and lost.
"But I'm alright...?" I asked. He just shook his head as he carefully coaxed Agni to change seats with his help.
"It's going to have a large scar if it doesn't close right. It's good that the bandage was tight enough to make it close but it still needed it." He said. I frowned as I looked at my wound.
"It's good, though..." I muttered and I heard him sighed.
"Alright, it's good, keep believing what you believe. I'm still going to get it stitched." He said. I just pouted as he guided me towards the long sofa and made me lay on my back. He went back to his bag and grabbed it with him to put it beside them for easy access.
He starts cleaning my wound with an alcohol 1¹soaked gauze making me whimper but I put my hand over my mouth to muffle it. He glanced at me and sighed as he continued working. He has a frown on his face as he starts stiching my wound. It hurts, every time the needle pierce my skin, his quirk activates and tries to heal my wound. It burns and hurt but I endure it and clench my eyes shut. I heard him click his tongue. I peeked at him to see him furrows his eyebrows as he concentrated to tie it and cut it out. I sighed in relief as he started putting bandages on me.
"Alright, it's all done." He declared and got up on his seat. I put down my shirt and watched him carry his bag and put them back on the table. He got his hand sanitizer and put some on his hands.
"How about you, young man? What's your name?" He asked Aouli. My little brother looked at me and at him.
"I uh, I'm Aouli." He answered. "I only have some bruises and wounds."
"Is that so." He said and sighed in relief. He went and patted Aouli's head. Aouli jolted and fell on the sofa, he panted as he looked up at Naoshi-san.
"There, Aouli-kun. Sorry if it hurts a little, I healed them a little bit just so they don't bother you that much." He said. Aouli closed his eyes and sunk on the sofa.
I blinked up at him as he put back his black gloves and brushed his white hair away from his face. I can see his brown eyes looking at me as I tried to fight back my fatigue.
"I'm going now, keep the house and yourself safe while they are away." He said to me. I just nodded drowsily as he bowed and left my vision. I can hear the click of the locked as the door shuts behind him. I breathed and closed my eyes.
Third Person POV
"Are we doing it? Right now?" Bakugou asked.
"Yeah, we gotta do it now." Midoriya said with a cheerful tone and smile. Todoroki watched them as they exited the elevator once again and entered the first floor.
"Besides, I want to go back home early." He added. No one can disagree with it.
"We're going to meet up with the others in the area of the incident because they can't excuse themselves just yet." Todoroki said. Bakugo groaned as they exited their company building and went to the parking lot right outside.
"Such a fine morning." Bakugou grumbled as he opened their car and entered it. The others entered as well and Bakugou drove out of the lot.
They arrive at the incident in just twenty minutes. The trio went out of the car and approached the yellow tape.
"They're here!" The trio was surprised to see Kirishima as the red haired waved at them. Even Yaoyorozu is with him. Midoriya and Todoroki waved back as Bakugou smiled.
"Good timing, guys!" Kirishima said and beamed. The trio presented their hero license and were allowed to enter the premises. Kirishima and Yaoyorozu approached them as some workers from the trio's company carried an envelope and evidence.
"We met her when we arrived not too long ago." Yaoyorozu said as she sling her arm on the worker's arms. She shly blushed at the touches and ignored her heated face just to nod towards her boss to greet them.
"We heard about this from Denki and we just had to go because we wanted to know about it and see what was up and her you guys are." Kirishima said and slings his arms around Bakugou's shoulder. The blond smirks.
"Also, we got some info!" Yaoyorozu said as she encouraged her new found friend to speak up. She blinked at her as she nervously presented the things she was holding..
"The police had found burnt fur and feathers. Their team was amazing to even find such things." She said as she presented it to them. Midoriya carefully got the three sealed evidence and looked at it closely.
"This is amazing." He muttered as he was fascinated and take turns of looking at it and discerning the colors and texture.
"What if it belongs to another common animal?" Katsuki asked as he looked at the evidence with boredom. "You know, cats, dogs, and birds are all over the place."
"That is a possibility, Ground Zero" Yaoyorozu cheered as she politely asked for the evidence back and Midoriya obliged.
"But, the thing is, thanks to someone who has a quirk that can analyze that something is not normal or was disturbed greatly! For example, fire, murder, or kidnapping." She said as she smiled towards the evidence. "The downside of that quirk is that they don't know where the disturbance or the evidence came from." She chuckled.
"The evidence was found an hour ago. They are kind enough to let us have it because we have one of your workers." Kirishima said and smiled towards her, she smiled and bowed her head as a thanks.
"They are also examining the body." Yaoyorozu said as they looked towards the burnt black body of the driver. Todoroki grimaced as he unconsciously walked closer towards Midoriya.
"They didn't carry the body yet because it's charred and might just crumpled to dust." Kirishima frowned. "It's very cruel..." He muttered.
"They're approaching it..." Katsuki announced as they watched a couple of professional people approached the burnt body.
"God, I am forever respecting people who deal with dead bodies." Kirishima muttered as he sighed.
They watched them with bated breath as both the persons approached it with cautions. They both wear protective gear as they slowly try to find a way to lift the body. As they touch the charred body, it starts to melt making the person who touched it back away in surprise.
His partner yelled something as he went and helped the guy. The five blinked as they watched the body, turned into dust and nothing. They were disappointed but it changed to surprise as the body started growing bigger and liquefying.
"Oh my god..." Yaoyorozu gasped as she shielded her friend away from it. They took a stance as the people around the place gaped at the giant.
The giant's body shivered and created ripples all over its body. They blink their eyes as inky goo started leaking from them and mixing with it's own liquefied body. It stares at the little creatures gaping at it and opens its mouth to scream.
"THE DEVIL WILL FIND WHAT IS LOST!" It screamed and trashed the place with its hands. Kicking, shoving, and throwing everything it can find and see.
The group of five heroes work fast to save the people.
"Everyone! Duck and try to follow my voice!" Yaoyorozu announced at a megaphone she created. She looked at them in worry as they cried for help and tried to do what she said.
"Please! Follow us!" Kirishima yelled as his body solidified and became a rock. He shielded the people that were running towards Yaoyorozu's voice.
"CURSE! CURSE THEM!" It bellowed and roared.
"Should I freeze it?!" Todoroki asked Bakugou as they ran towards it.
"It's liquid, of course you can!" He answered. Todoroki cursed under his breath as they broke away and moved towards the other directions.
"Look at me, monster!" Midoriya yelled as he thought the monster would follow his pursuit but it ignored him and trashed the police mobile as it yelled incoherent rage. It looked towards Midoriya and roared then got it's hand to try and grab him. Midoriya had dodge but was slashed on his chest. He grunted as his suit was ruined and blood coated it fast. Midoriya landed on the asphalt as he got his quirk activated and lightning ran through him.
'Another.' Midoriya thought as he jumped and tried to kick the monster's neck. It was slashed off, but Midoriya's cheer was short lived as it fell on the ground and it's body swallowed it and created another head. Midoriya widened his eyes as he somersault mid-air to avoid being thrown by its hands and being wounded.
"Izuku!" He heard Bakugou yell as Midoriya fell and landed on Bakugou's arm. The blond nearly fell as he tried steadying his grip.
"Sorry, Kacchan." Midoriya said. Bakugou clicked his tongue as he saw his wound and helped him stand up.
"Be careful, idiot." He said. Midoriya smiled and they continued to distract the giant.
A giant arc of ice blocks its body as Todoroki launches himself with an ice pillar to get a view at a taller height than the monster. It roared as its hand grabbed the arc and destroyed it with its brute strength. Blocks of ice rained on the ground as it roared once again and swept it away from its sight as it discerned the empty ground.
"WHERE ARE THE LOST BEASTS?!" It screamed. Todoroki covers his ears as it rings from its outrage.
The ice was thrown everywhere as Todoroki looked towards his friends and made himself slide off of the pillar by creating another curve of ice. Todoroki ran towards his husbands and dragged them away from the monster.
"Stop it, it's useless. It will not look at us." He said as he gritted his teeth as the ring on his ears continued.
"What do you mean?!" Bakugou asked as he looked back at the monster who flipped another police vehicle, it was dangerously near them. "Does it want something else?!"
"Yeah..." Todoroki answered. As they try to recruit to plan on what they should do and as if to answer their question, the beast stops everything they look at the beast with surprise. It stares at the three glass containers that contained the burnt fur and feathers, they turn to watch and see what might happen. The beast slowly opens the veils and then sniffs it.
"That's the evidence..." Midoriya muttered as Todoroki went towards Yaoyorozu and Kirishima.
"You guys alright?" Kirishima asked, he was not in his hardened state anymore and was only left with a rip suit.
"Yeah." Bakugou muttered as he looked back at the monster.
"We've got everyone safe already." Yaoyorozu said as she indicated the metal cover behind her. "They're behind it." She beamed.
"That's good." Todoroki said.
"Hey, Shoto." Midoriya called, "It's looking at the evidence, perhaps it only wanted that?" He asked. Todoroki looked towards the monster and back at them.
"That's why I dragged you here." He answered.
"If it only wants the evidence we should take advantage of it and beat it." Bakugou said.
"We could do that!" Kirishima said as he hardened once again. Midoriya sighed and crossed his arm.
"Alright here's the plan." He began. "We need to distract him with the evidence we got, Momo-san will create five different kinds of it and we're gonna attack and if it will attack us, create a destruction and don't let it do so."
"Sounds good, Midoriya!" Kirishima said.
Yaoyorozu consulted her friend and created the fake evidence. The monster was still analyzing what it got and deep rumble can be heard from it.
"Let's go, everyone." Yaoyorozu said as she gave the other four the fake evidence. They nodded and ran towards it.
"Hey!!" Midoriya called as he activated All For One and jumped towards the monster's eye level and kicked away the glass. The monster blinked and shrieked as he gave Midoriya its attention.
"YOU!" It growled and raised its hand to swipe Midoriya. Todoroki shot an ice spiked towards its arm to stop it from doing so. It screamed in frustration and faced Todoroki.
"You want this, right?" He asked as he dangled the three sealed evidences.
"STOP PLAYING WITH ME!" It snapped and tried to strike Todoroki.
"Won't let you do that!" Yaoyorozu said as she prepared the bazooka she made and fired at it. The monster yells in fear as fire consumes some part of it.
"Yeah, Yao Momo!!" Bakugou cackled as he also created huge blows and increased the fire.
"STOP!!" It said as it starts leaking ink everywhere and dropping it towards the Yaoyorozu and Bakugou.
"Don't do that!" Kirishima yelled as he threw some rubles right at it. It loses its composure and stagers to the side.
"DEKU, DO IT!!" Bakugou yells out loud and causes some more explosions towards it.
"RIGHT!!" Midoriya starts up his quirk as green lightning surrounds him, he then runs up to the beast.
"DETROIT SMASH!!!" He yelled and used a fetal kick knocking the beast on its legs and collapsing on the ground.
"Yeah!!" Kirishima cheered as Todoroki secured him with his quirk and wrapping it all over its body.
"Holy shit..." Bakugou muttered as he got a good look on its face.
"It's just blood and inky." Yaoyorozu said. Midoriya sighed as he held his slashed chest.
"Thank Goodness, it's done." He muttered and sat on the ground.
"Deku!" Bakugou called and rushed towards Midoriya.
"I'm going to create a bandage to stop the bleeding." Yaoyorozu said as she opened her palm and clean bandage flowed out.
"It's just a scratch, Momo-san, Kacchan." Midoriya said.
"Tch, stop denying." Bakugou muttered as he removed Midoriya's blazer and white sleeves. He tied the bandage around the wound as Midoriya sighed and let him do so.
Todoroki watched him in worry and as he saw Midoriya getting up he sighed and crossed his arm. He went back to gaze at the monster as it gurgled and moaned.
"Who do you think is this?" Kirishima asked Todoroki.
"Perhaps it's the dead guy's quirk." Todoroki answered and Kirishima hummed.
"It became a symbiote? Does a quirk become sentient?" Kirishima asked, his question making him confused more.
"I have no clue." Todoroki muttered as he too became confused. They approached the head of the monster.
"It speaks, right?" Todoroki asked and Kirishima nodded.
"Yeah, you know that, very loud too." He said. Todoroki looked towards the monster.
"Who are you?" He asked. The monster moaned as it started muttering something.
"What is it?" Kirishima asked, its muttering became constant as they try forming what it was saying.
"..devil...find...the lost..." It chanted. They both raised their eyebrows.
"Devil?" Kirishima whispered.
"I remember it said that a while ago." Todoroki mentioned.
"EVERYONE!!!" Yaoyorozu called all of them to get their attention to her, "I called a backup to carry that giant! Just make it stay put." She said.
"Okay, Yaoyorozu-san!" Kirishima said. Yes darling
"Alright, you heard her." Todoroki said to the monster. "Stay put and answer us." He ordered. It slightly growls and looks at them dead in their eyes.
"You don't know what you're dealing with..." It said in a low tone. Bakugou scoffed.
"Hah?? What do you mean you big piece of–" A high pitch whistle cut him off. It emits around them. It was long and sharp, they had to cover their ears due to its piercing noise assaulting their hearing. The beast chuckled and slowly turned into an insane cackle.
"What the fuck are you laughing at?!" Bakugou yelled. It looks towards Bakugou with a wide grin.
"My master is calling me." It said. Midoriya looks at it in confusion.
"Master?" He asked.
"We shall meet again..." It stated as it starts melting yet again and runs right into a sewer.
"Stop!" Todoroki yelled as he shot it with his fire quirk. It screamed but didn't stop from entering the sewers. Todoroki cursed as he sighed in defeat.
"Goddamn goo!" Bakugou cursed and gritted his teeth.
