Chapter 65

"I suppose we should try to take things easy for now. No use in fretting over something that the government and Pro Heroes will be dealing with." spoke Tokoyami.

About half an hour later, the band Kiyoterae were finishing up their performance in an attempt to distract the watchers from the earlier events. As they prepared for their final encore, Sukinasaki stepped forward and grabbed the mic.

"Before we play this last song, I have something I'd like to say. And a dedication to make the song for." she said as she wiped some sweat from her brow. "There was a time when I had thought that a utopia was a world without victory or loss. And back then, that was the goal I strived for. But a friend of mine helped me to realize that my dream was flawed."

More than a few people in the audience were confused as to where such a topic had come from. But they listened all the same.

"If there was no end goal, no desire to better yourselves, no heart to hate or love... Wouldn't it be easier to achieve happiness? Wouldn't that make the world a better place?" she shook her head. "But people, more so than being happy, more so than trying to better the world, only desire to have ones own heart. Without a heart, there would be no worries. But without worries, there would be no heart. And no one wants that..." she pointed towards the audience with a smirk. "A utopia that no one wants to live in, can't possibly be a utopia!"

The other band members started playing the tune to the final song as Sukinasaki went on.

"So my friend chose to go about creating his own version of a utopia! A world where everyone will continue to better themselves in order to win! A world where all people great and small will fight to win! They say there is only victory because there is failure! But so long as you never give up, you haven't failed yet!" the girl shouted as she picked up her guitar. "This final song is dedicated to my loser friend out there! A loser who never gives up on winning, no matter how many times he fails! A man who has finally found his place in the world!" the song finally began in earnest. "THIS ONE IS FOR YOU! KUMAGAWA MISOGI!"

Endeavor's eyes widened at the girls declaration. 'She knows that brat?! She must know where he went!' he thought as he rushed the stage.

"Endeavor?! What are you doing?!" shouted Present Mic. Though he knew he wouldn't get an answer.

Sukinasaki, seeing the approaching fireball, snapped her fingers. At the action, hundreds of people in the audience stood up and ran to intercept the Pro Hero. He was quickly overwhelmed by their sheer numbers, and being that they were civilians, he couldn't use force against them. He did notice, however, that they all had cards stuck to their heads.

"I was at home depressed and lying on the couch,

Mama asked me why you acting like a slouch,

I said I keep on trying and still I cannot win,

And she said you just have to get back up and try again~!"

"What the heck is happening with the audience?!" exclaimed All Might.

"Snipe, what do you see?!" asked Nezu.

The sharpshooter Pro adjusted his goggles and zoomed in on the sight. "It's like some kind of riot! They're all trying to tackle Endeavor! And they have these weird cards stuck to their heads!"

"Cards?"

"I think it's some kind of mind control! And if I had to guess the source, I'd say it's the lead singer that's giving him the finger."

"So I took her advice and ran straight out the door,

Cause now I have a goal that is worth fighting for,

I called up my friends and said meet me down the block,

I said come on girls it's time for us to rock~!"

"Can someone please tell me just what's going on?!" shouted Present Mic.

"They must be those 'Abnormals' that Kumagawa mentioned." opined Aizawa. "And I'd say that they're making a statement, just as he did... But it looks like Endeavor isn't taking it to well."

"Endeavor! Calm down! They haven't committed any crimes! You can't attack them!"

"Win or lose it don't matter in the end,

So long as I'm here standing with my friends,

Take to heart these words that I told 'ya,

Shout it out, this is our Minus Ultra~!"

Endeavor only seemed to get progressively angrier as the song went on and he was unable to reach the band. It got to the point that he was actually tossing aside audience members, resulting in minor injuries.

As the last chords of the song began to play, Sukinasaki grabbed the mic once more. "Thank you for having us UA! You've been an amazing audience to us!" she then grabbed at the bottom of her shirt. "This whole festival has been so hot, I can't bear to wear this any longer!" as she said that, she quickly pulled her shirt up over her head and threw it off the stage. Now she stood in front of all the viewers with her bare chest on display. "GOODNIGHT CONSUMERS!"

And with that, the lights cut-out completely, enveloping the field in darkness.

"What happened?!"

"It's pitch black in here!"

"Someone get the lights on!"

By the time the engineers were able to reboot the electrical grid, the band was gone without a trace. That left a VERY angry Endeavor 'screaming' to the sky as flames billowed around him.

When later reported, the news would say that a student of UA had essentially challenged Quirk society as a whole. Stating that the teen brought to light an entirely different type of super-powered society whose powers would rival that of Quirks. And with the display made by the suddenly missing band Kiyoterae, people would be further inclined to believe it.
