Our villains have finally arrived on Nabu! It's time the real action begins! Yes, now that Nine and his gang are here, it's about to turn up to 11 and beyond. So far, it's just been Nine himself and Chimera we've seen, but we'll meet the other two members in this chapter as well. And my, how frightening this all has become for Cry. To encounter someone else who may have the same potential to steal quirks from others. It's sparked some major flashbacks for him, as you saw, and fear has set in. But, he's just gonna have to go plus ultra to ensure his and Katsuma's quirk don't get stolen away. Enjoy!

-POV: Third Person-

With villains now appearing on the island, the heroes have moved into action. All members of class B now rush to protect the citizens and face these villains. Three students who were unfortunate enough to be at the harbor quickly encountered someone with a quirk that would certainly cause quite a lot of trouble for them. 

Honenuki, Kamakiri, and Tsunotori were the first to discover villainous activities on the island, and they were the first to come face to face with one as well. After evacuating people from the fish factory, they went to the shopping district next and found multiple people fleeing from some unknown force. Whatever it was was wrapping inanimate objects in thick red bandages and making them come to life like monsters. 

"What the hell kinda quirk is this!?" Kamakiri questioned as the three of them spread out to deal with these monsters. 

"Nothing good, Jack Mantis! I am taking one there!" Tsunotori said as Kamakiri just looked at Honenuki with a confused look. 

"Dude, she's from America. She's still trying to learn how to speak our language, remember? Oh crap, look out!" Honenuki said as he activated his quirk and softened the ground beneath Kamakiri, making him fall into the now liquid floor, avoiding an attack from one of the monsters. 

"Thanks for the save! Now it's my turn!" Kamakiri said as he dove out of the floor and created blades from his arms. He sliced away at the monster that tried to attack him and easily cut it in two, followed by the one that just tried to attack Honenuki. 

Tsunotori was currently facing hers, firing off two horns from her head which she then took control of like RC planes. She made them both fly into the monster she was fighting, then used the strength they had to send the monster crashing into a vending machine with proceeded to electrocute it and destroy it. 

"Well, well, well..... it seems there is some pesky heroes on this island after all. And some young ones at that." A man said as he walked around a nearby corner. The three students saw that the bandages were coming from him as this man's arms, most of his face, even parts of his legs were covered in them. He had short white hair, pale orange eyes, and he wore a dark gray combat vest, some light gray skin-tight pants, and black fingerless gloves.

"And who the hell are you supposed to be?" Honenuki asked. 

"I'm called Mummy. And you're all.... what? Pretending to be heroes?" Mummy asked.

"No, we're real heroes. U.A High students. We will take down you!" Tsunotori said to him. 

"Don't think so, sweetheart. My quirk allows me to control these bandages of mine to my free will, and anything ensnared by them becomes my puppet. I can't take of control of humans, but I see an awful lot of clothing on you three." Mummy said as he shot out his bandages from his arms at Kamakiri.

"Not if I cut them up like before!" Kamakiri shouted as he swung his arms, aiming to chop up the bandages before he could become ensnared. But, when the bandages got close, they avoided his blades and then latched into his arms. 

"What the!?" Kamakiri said as he began wrapped in more and more bandages until he was completely covered from head to toe. Mummy then raised him up in the air as the wrapped up Kamakiri produced blades from his legs now too. 

"I can somewhat gain control of a person's quirk too when I've got someone in my grasp. Your slasher friend is gonna come in nice and handy to me." Mummy said as he sent Kamakiri at his friends. 

"Tsunotori, get out of the way!!" Honenuki shouted as she used those two flying horns from before to jump on and take off into the air. 

"Doesn't matter how face you are, i'll always catch you in the end..." Mummy said as Honenuki began to charge him. 

"And don't think I forgot about you." Mummy said to him as he sent his bandages on his other arm at him.

"Oh snap!" Honenuki said as he turned to run, but the bandages snagged his right leg, stopping him. 

"No, no, no!" Honenuki shouted as he became wrapped up too, just like Kamakiri. 

"2 down and only 1 to go. Come here, little pony girl." Mummy said as he sent Honenuki after her as well. 

"I'll stop you, villain! Cannot catch me, never!" Tsunotori shouted which just made Mummy laugh. 

"Oh darling, you're cute. But you're stupid too. You won't be able to escape me the moment one of my bandages touches you. And it's just a matter of time before that happens." Mummy said as Honenuki suddenly began to slow down his pursuit of her. 

"Wait, what's going on? Chase after her, puppet!" Mummy said in frustration but Honenuki wasn't moving anymore. In fact, the bandages wrapped around him were beginning to melt away. He seen felt out of them, freeing himself as he gasped for air. 

"Those bandages of yours aren't very useful when I can just soften them up into a liquid matter! Seems like i'm your natural counter!" Honenuki said to him as he brought Kamakiri back over to him. 

"No matter. It just means i'll have to kill you instead of making you my puppet." Mummy said as Honenuki looked up into the air. 

"Yeah, don't think so! Look up!" He shouted as Mummy looked up and saw Tsunotori flying straight down at him. She leaped off her horns and delivered a flying kick to his face which sent him sliding away a bit. And, upon impact, his bandages began to shake a bit. 

"You brats! I'll kill each ad every.... one of....." Mummy said as Kamakiri's blades suddenly burst through the bandages. 

"Let me go, you bastard!" He roared as he produced more and more blades from his body, from his head, his feet, waist, everywhere until he shredded the bandages encasing him.

"Damn it! That pony girl made me lose concentration!" Mummy said as Tsunotori's horns flew back in and lifted up Kamakiri by his arms, turning him into a battering ram of blades that flew right for Mummy. 

"Perhaps I should make my exit and return later..." Mummy said as he went to run away. However, upon trying to flee, he found his legs were stuck. 

"What's this!?" He questioned as he looked down and found himself sinking into the floor. 

"You're not going anywhere! Now finish him, Kamakiri!" Honenuki shouted as he used his quirk to stop Mummy from escaping. 

"Thanks for the help! And now, you lose, villain!!" Kamakiri roared as he struck Mummy dead on, slicing away at him with all his blades and smashing him right through a brick wall, causing all the bricks to collapse onto him. The three students then gathered around him and inspected the damage. Mummy was out cold. Still breathing, but unconscious. 

"Yay! We did it! Won we did!" Tsunotori cheered as her friends joined in. 

"Come on. Let's detain this guy. I think we had some quirk nulling cuffs back at the agency. I'll run back and get them. You two keep watch on him." Honenuki said as he took off back to the agency. They'd taken down one villain, but more still roamed the island, causing chaos wherever they went. 

Meanwhile, back on the beach, Awase and his squad, now accompanied by Tetsutetsu, Shishida, and Kaibara, were still in combat with the villain they now know is named Chimera.

"Eat this, you damn villain!!" Tetsutetsu roared as he turned his skin to steel and threw a punch at Chimera. 

"With a quirk like that, i'd expect you to have good offense and defense! But you've got neither!!" Chimera roared as he also threw a punch, easily blowing back Tetsutetsu's and cracking his steel skin in the process. 

"But..... how?" Tetsutetsu questioned as he was picked up telepathically by Yanagi's quirk and pulled over to her so he'd be safe, leaving Shishida, Shiozaki, and Kaibara to deal with their foe. 

"I'll tear you to shreds!" Shishida shouted, using his massive beast body to swing his claws with tremendous force at Chimera. However, all Chimera did was raise up his right arm to guard and Shishida might as well have bounced right off. Just proves how strong this guy was in terms of strength. 

"You look mighty terrifying, kid! Were you called a monster for your whole life like I was!?" Chimera asked as he then opened his mouth wide and unleashed a fiery breath attack.

"Withdraw, Shishida!" Shiozaki said as she wrapped her vines around his waste and pulled him out of the way before he could be struck by the flames. 

"Don't leave yourself open, pal! You'll regret it!" Kaibara shouted as he leaped into action, beginning to spin all his fingertips like drills as he thrusted his right hand at Chimera. But unlike before, Chimera actually dodged the attacks instead of blocking them. It was a clear sign he didn't want to be hit by Kaibara's attacks. 

"You're mighty annoying, kid. So maybe i'll put you down first!" Chimera shouted as he opened his mouth again to use his flame breath. But Kaibara acted quirk and brought his legs together, spinning them like drills now to burrow underneath the sand. 

"Don't think you'll be safe from me down there!" Chimera shouted as he unleashed his fire breath right into the hole Kaibara just dug. And, after a few seconds, the sand erupted from an explosion underneath. Kaibara came flying out but Shiozaki managed to catch him with her vines before he could land on the ground. 

"If there is anyone else in class B out there who can hear me!! If you're not fighting a villain, we need assistance down at the beach!! We've got a villain here and we can't do a thing to him!" Awase shouted into his walkie-talkie, hoping someone would respond. 

"Hey, we can hear you again! We read you loud and clear, Awase! We're on our way! Listen up, we got one of them! You hear me!? We took down one of the villains!" Honenuki replied as all the students were able to hear him. 

"Haha, yes! Yeah, we got 'em!" Tetsutetsu cheered as Chimera's wolf ears flickered a bit, indicating he was listening too. 

"I can't believe it. These dumb kids were able to beat one of us? It surely wasn't Nine. But, was it Slice or was it Mummy?" He thought to himself as Honenuki came back on. 

"We've got him detained! Kamakiri's gonna stay and keep watch! Me and Tsunotori will be right there! Komori, Shoda and the rest are on their way too! Any word from Cry or Kendo yet!?" Honenuki asked them. 

"I've had zero contact with either of them all day! They went over to the North-West side of the island, into the farm land! I'm sure they're alright, though! After all, it's our class rep. and her deputy!" Awase responded as Chimera listened in to all of it. 

"So, Mummy got himself caught, eh? Dumb idiot. And more are on their way here right now. And then there's those two he said were in the farm land. That's where Nine was headed to find that kid. If a few more kids are gonna show up, perhaps I should leave and find Nine...." Chimera said as all the students began to approach him together, readying themselves to continue fighting. 

"As much as I would love to continue this little scruff of ours, I unfortunately have to go. See you next time, kids. I hope you bring your A game with you then!" Chimera said as, with one powerful leap, he jumped back over a hundred metres and into a thick gathering of trees. 

"Wait, that's it? He's just giving up?" Tetsutetsu questioned. 

"I think it's better to say he's letting us go." Rin said as everyone else agreed. Despite there being 8 of them, they hardly even left a scratch on Chimera. However, with their battle ending in a draw, their hopes were still high as Honenuki's team had won theirs. But, their day was still not over. Not until all villains are defeated. 

-POV: Cry-

"You just don't know when to quit, do you?" The mystery man attacking us asked as me and Kendo were reaching our limits. Neither of us could get past his barrier quirk yet, and he's kept us pinned down with the beams from his fingers.

"You'd be surprised..... how much it takes..... to keep us down....." I said to him, sweat dripping from my face as I felt like I was gonna fall over. Kendo wasn't looking so good either, down on one knee. However, despite all the punishment we've taken, this guy hadn't gotten any closer to Katsuma and Mahoro than before. 

"I can imagine. I can read your bodies with my Scanning quirk. Both of you, specifically you, boy, have had much happen to you. Had some run-ins with some villains, I see." The man said to me as I wiped the sweat off my head. 

"Yeah, I've met a few. But there's a good reason why i'm here now and they're not." I said to the man. 

"Your battle scars are proof enough. But even with those victories, you've only disappointed me. I thought someone with a quirk as great as yours could do so much more. Perhaps it'll be best if I do take it from you." The man said as he raised up his hand to attack again. 

"In your dreams..... We haven't lost yet...... and we're not gonna lose either...." Kendo said as she rose up to both feet and enlarged her hands again. 

"I wasn't talking to you, girl. I'm only concerned with the two boys right now. You and the other little girl can just disappear." The man said as the tips of his fingered glowed again before he fired off his beams at Kendo. 

"Kendo, move!" I said as I shoved her away and went to guard for the both of us. But before I could use my quirk, the beams flew by, 4 of them I narrowly avoided by one going right through my left leg.

"Ugh!" I grunted in pain as I collapsed to one knee. A clean hole went straight through my leg and was bleeding like crazy. 

"Even more disappointment. You risk your life and don't even bother to use your quirk. And now, you're one leg down. I wonder what'll be next?" The man said as Kendo helped me up. 

"I told you to go away girl. Perhaps I should kill you so you finally get the message." The man said as he fired off his beams again. 

"Not gonna happen!" Kendo shouted as she threw one of her giants hands in front of both of us, taking the direct impact of all the beams. They didn't go through her hand but she still received massive pain as she shrunk it down. 

"No, Kendo, why'd you do that!? I could've stopped it!" I said to her as thunder clouds began to form in the sky above us. 

"Not.... in your state.... you couldn't.... all that pain.... would've made it impossible..... to use your quirk...." Kendo told me as she grasped her hand tightly. 

"How cute. Protecting each other. But that's exactly why you can't win. Your feelings and compassion make you weak. Now, I will say this one last time. Begone, girl." The man said as thunder began to gather overhead. 

"He can..... control the weather.....? Kids, get away!" I shouted to Katsuma and Mahoro as they made a run for it. A massive bolt of lightning came crashing down over me and Kendo as I rasied my right arm up to to block it. 

"PORTAL OPEN!!!" I shouted as all I thought about was a portal opening. Not where it lead to, just one that would open above our heads. And one did open, as well as the second. The first appeared over our heads and the lightning went through it. 

"Well, that's certainly in interesti-" The man tried to say as the same lightning came out of nowhere and struck him dead in the back, knocking him down onto his front. 

"I..... it worked....." I said with a bit of surprise as we saw my second portal had formed right behind the man. 

"Please tell me.... you meant to put the second one there.....?" Kendo asked me. 

"No.... I didn't..... I just..... thought of one opening, and then there they were." I told her as she let out a sigh and then coughed a bit. 

"So then.... we might not be able.... to count on that later...." Kendo said as I unfortunately agreed. 

"Is that so.....?" The man suddenly said as he started to get back up. The back of his white jacket has been burned off from the lightning but that mask he wore did in fact stretch out into armor that even ran down his back.

"There's no way....." I said in disbelief as he rose to his feet and rubbed the back of his head a bit. 

"I will admit that I felt that. But that's gonna be the last hit you get on me, kids." The man said as his eyes then started to glow red. From his back, these two sea serpent like creatures emerged from his back and flew straight for us. They were still attached to his back, but they just kept on getting longer and longer until they reached us. Kendo enlarged her hands again and I began forming fire on my right arm, but when we went to block, these serpents easily overpowered us and locked us in their jaws. They pinned us down on the ground, neither of us able to break free of their grasp as the man casually walked forward to Katsuma and Mahoro who'd stopped a little distance away to see if we were gonna be alright. 

"You two, get out of here, please!!! Don't let him catch you!!! Run away!!" Me and Kendo shouted to them as it looked like they were about to run. 

"I wouldn't do that if I were you boy...." The man said to Katsuma as he raised up his left hand and made his fingertips glow, ready to fire his beams. 

"If you try to leave, I will kill your sister. Now come here." The man threatened, aiming his fingers at Mahoro. 

"Damn it.... gotta get loose...." I said as I tried to slip out of the jaws of the serpent. But it was just clamped down hard on me, there was zero chance to get out. Even Kendo's giant and powerful hands couldn't pry the jaws off her. 

"Please..... don't hurt my sister..... or those heroes....." Katsuma said as he left Mahoro and began approaching the man. 

"No, Katsuma! Don't do it! Don't let him take away your future as a hero!!" I shouted but he kept on moving forward. 

"Come on!! Get out!!" I shouted to myself as I pulled my right arm out of the jaws of the serpent. 

"Don't have much time, so I have to make this count! Gotta hit this thing with my new move! Everything I've got!" I said as I focused as hard as I could and activated my quirk. My right arm began to vibrate wildly until it became steady again. It vibrated at such a high frequency it looked like it wasn't moving at all. 

"This is my ultimate move!!! Absolute Mass Hammer!!!" I roared as I crashed my fist into the serpent. The shockwave from the impact was incredible, and to my absolute relief, I managed to smash the serpent to pieces, almost like it was glass. I then quickly rose to my feet as the man was reaching his right hand forward to grab Katsuma. 

"Don't have time to think about this! Just gotta do! Portals!!" I shouted as, like before, all I did was imagine portals opening for me. One appeared in front of me, and the second, right in front of Katsuma. The man had no time to react as his hand wet through the one n front of him and out the second. But he reacted to this change quickly by grabbing me by my neck and pulling me through my own portal. He held me off the ground as I tried to pry myself loose from his grip. But this guy had an even tighter grip on me than the serpents did.

"What a stupid boy you are. But, if you wish to lose your quirk first, then by all means..... Let me take it." The man said as his eyes glowed red again. 

"Katsuma, get away from him, now! Go back to your sis-" I tried to say as an unthinkable but familiar feeling suddenly shook my body. 

"You said you had your quirk stolen before, yes? Then it seems you're aware of this ability. The strongest quirk in the world. All for One...." The man said as it felt like I was having my insides pulled out of me. I screamed so much as all the horrible memories returned. I had my original quirk taken, and now, my it was my second's turn.

"With your quirks addition to my arsenal, I will spare you a horrible death, boy. Be glad though. You have helped me take the next step in achieving my dream. A world ruled by the str-" The man attempted to say as a powerful shock suddenly struck us both. He let go of me and dropped me onto the ground, allowing me to breath. 

"It didn't work..... I wasn't able to take away your quirk...." The man said, looking down at his hands with shock in his eyes. 

"WHY DIDN'T IT WORK!?" He raged as I coughed and stood up, reeling back my right arm. 

"Don't know, asshole. And frankly, I don't care. I still have my quirk, which means I can still fight. And now, in the words of a douche bag, "GO TO HELL!!"" I roared as I whipped my right arm forward, unleashing an explosion from my palm which struck the man dead on, sending him sliding back along the ground. He let out a quick grunt of pain as the other serpent he had created disappeared, freeing Kendo. 

"I must know..... why could I not take your quirk!?" The man continued to rage as Kendo got up and charged him. She enlarged her hand and went to strike him by throwing a massive punch. 

"Stay out of this, you bitch!" The man shouted as he created another barrier behind him, completely blocking Kendo's attack and causing her fist to bounce off. 

"Just die already!" The man shouted as he went to use his beams again, aiming them at her. 

"Don't worry, Kendo! Just stay put!" I yelled to her as I activated my quirk and pointed at the ground. I twisted my wrist and moved the ground itself, sliding me forward and sliding Kendo away as we swapped places. 

"So be it! You die first!" The man yelled as he fired his beams at me. But, as he fired, I reached out and grabbed his wrist, turning it up so he'd fire the beams away. I then went to punch him in the face with my free hand but the man raised up his own free hand and made a barrier between us, knocking me back. 

"Stay away from me, you insect! I don't care what it takes, I will have your quirk, even if it means removing it from your corpse!" The man said to me as parts of the skin on his face suddenly ripped open, revealing this glowing purple substance on the inside. The man collapsed to his knees and began to cry out in pain. 

"No.... not now..... I used them.... too much...." The man said as I assumed he meant all of his quirks. Using a lot of them consecutively must cause pain for him after a while. 

"Looks like you're your own worst enemy, asshole. You've beaten yourself." I said as I saw Kendo run over to the kids to make sure they were okay.

"I can't..... the pain..... I need.... the kid's quirk.... to stop this...." The man told me. 

"Well, if you hadn't tried to steal my and Katsuma's quirk, I may have been nice enough to help you. But that's far gone now. I'm taking you into our hands, and you can suffer with this pain." I said as I went to grab the man by the collar of his jacket.

"CRY, LOOK OUT!!!" I suddenly heard Kendo scream as I then felt the most stinging, burning, and indescribable pain I've ever felt. A large red blade went right through my back and came all the way through, blood flying everywhere as someone grabbed the top of my head. 

"I'm sorry, but i'm gonna have to ask you to leave our boss alone now." A woman said to me as I saw it was her long red hair she was impaling me with. It looked like she'd hardened it, making them into blades. Besides her long red hair, this woman had bright blue eyes, and she wore a purple blouse with frilled cuffs, with a short navy blue dress over top of it. She had thigh high purple socks on as well, with knee high black boots, and she had on red gloves on each hand. 

"STOP IT!! GET AWAY FROM HIM!!!" Kendo cried as she and the kids started running towards us. 

"no..... stay.... away....." I struggled to say as I tried my absolute hardest to activate my quirk. 

"Run...... RUN!!!!" I screamed, blooding seeping out of my mouth as a portal appeared in the ground where Kendo and the kids were running. They all fell through and then I closed it. I didn't know where I sent them on the island, but it was better than here. 

"Big mistake, kid." The woman said as she finally pulled out her hair blade from my chest and pushed me to the ground, stepping down on my head in the process. 

"No.... Slice, wait...." The man said as the woman took her foot off of me for the moment. 

"I have to know..... why.... can I not take it...." The man said as he reached down and placed his right hand on my head. That disemboweling feeling began again as he tried to steal my quirk once more. But like before, the two of us received some sort of shock and the man removed his hand. 

"Still.... it doesn't work..... it must be that.... abnormal.... quirk gene..... he possesses." The man said as Slice helped him to his feet. And then, this large wolf man..... thing, ran over. 

"Nine, Slice, I heard on one of those kids' radio that Mummy was captured. Are you two alright?" The wolf man asked them. 

"I'm fine but Nine's overworked himself again. We need to get him somewhere where he can rest." Slice said. 

"And what about him? What's up with this kid?" The wolf man asked as I just laid on the ground in a pool of my own blood, trying to hang onto life as hard as I could. 

"I tried.... taking his quirk.... but it didn't work.... something's different about his body....." Nine said as the wolf man crouched down in front of me and picked me up by my head, squeezing it a bit as I let out some quick screams. 

"Then there's no reason to keep him alive if you can't take his quirk." The wolf man said as he opened his fanged mouth, looking to bite me. 

"Hold on, Chimera. I have a better idea. One that his little friends won't be able to refuse...." Slice said as she gave off the most sinister look in her eyes. But I was unable to find out what they were planning as I then blacked out from blood loss. 

-POV: Kendo-

"That idiot!! What does he think he's doing!? He's going to die!!" I cried as I ran across the island back to where Cry had sent us away. 

That portal he had made dropped me, Katsuma, and Mahoro near the hero agency. I told the kids to wait there as I had to rush back to where he left us. 

"I swear, of all the dumb things you've done, this is by far the stupidest!! When will you ever get it through that thick hero skull of yours that you don't always have to risk your life for others who can already defend themselves!?" I thought as I arrived at the farm land. I passed by the kids' home and came to where the villains and Cry were. 

"No.... no, it can't be....." I said with heavy fear in my voice as there was nothing left but a puddle of blood on the ground. 

"They...... took him....."
