Exclusive hero

*SWOOSH!!*

*SWOOSH!!*

Dodging the spikes while carrying Eri, Aiden moved around the battlefield and approached Overhaul.

"Slash."

Seeing that his attempt to hold Aiden was failing, Chisaki created a spike cage with Aiden stuck in the middle.

"DIE!"

Constructing a medieval looking long sword in his right hand, he slashed the air and created a wide arc of astral energy. Watching it cut through the oncoming spikes, Aiden used Catch these hands and equipped them with swords of their own.

"4 fold slash."

Releasing four additional slashes, Aiden slashed away the surrounding spikes and opened up a path straight to the raging Chisaki.

"Why must you stand in my way... You heroes are nothing but a sickness plaguing society, but with Eri's power... I'll cure you all!"

'How pathetic...'

Having fought Overhaul for a short amount of time, Aiden had already seen through his fighting style. Similar to Pixie-Bob, Overhaul utilized the terrain to his advantage. But unlike Pixie-Bob, his quirk made him all the more dangerous. Just getting close to him would be dangerous if he wasn't careful.

Turning to look down at the girl in his arms, Aiden felt the flames of anger well up in his chest.

Constructing Catch these hands and a long sword in his right hand, Aiden stared down the distant Chisaki and said.

"5 fold slash."

*FWOOSH!!*

*FWOOSH!!*

*FWOOSH!!*

*FWOOSH!!*

*FWOOSH!!*

"Damn you!!" Watching the approaching slashes, Overhaul's hands struck the ground and a thick earth wall appeared in front of him.

*BANG!!*

*BANG!!*

*BANG!!*

*BANG!!*

*BANG!!*

Feeling the wall in front of him shake, Chisaki was glad that it somehow managed to withstand the assault.

Using his quirk to remove it, he was planning to use the terrain to separate Aiden and Eri. But to his surprise, he saw Eri sitting on the floor while Aiden was standing next to her holding a purple bow with a glowing purple arrow made out of astral energy.

"What the-

"Pierce."

*BOOM!!*

---

Deconstructing his bow, Aiden felt a large amount of his astral energy disappear. Compared to using his ordinary pierce, the bow was clearly stronger. That could clearly be seen by the state of the left side of Chisaki's body. Unfortunately he wasn't proficient enough with the bow and the energy cost was abysmal compared to using an ordinary pierce.

"You okay Eri?"

*Nod*

*Cough* *Cough*

Coughing up a mouthful of blood, the mighty Overhaul let out a sharp shriek as part of the left side of his body was missing.

"Looks like my aim was a little off."

Hearing Aiden say this, Chisaki's eyes turned bloodshot.

"I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you!!"

No longer caring if he hurt Eri or not, Overhaul slammed his remaining hands onto the ground and let his power run wild.

"DIE!!"

Picking Eri up, Aiden constructed his astral wings and took to the sky. Seeing Chisaki's power running wild, Aiden couldn't help but curse. Over half of his astral energy was missing and he still hadn't adapted to his new power output. If he messed up again, there was no doubt in his mind that both he Eri would be buried here.

'Fuck! The heroes are gonna be here soon! I need to end this fast!'

Swerving to the side, he narrowly avoided a couple of targeted spikes.

"DIE!!" He heard Chisaki scream.

Looking down from the sky, he saw that Chisaki had repaired the left side of his body. Knowing that his quirk only allowed him repair the damage and not remove the pain, Aiden could only imagine how he was feeling.

In fact, he understood that the pain had caused him to turn crazy.

"Eri, hold onto me tightly."

Nodding her head, Eri closed her eyes and put her faith in him.

Seeing how tightly she clinging onto him, Aiden wondered if this was what his mother felt when she protected him.

"Eri... For today, I'll be you exclusive hero."

Hearing his words, Eri felt her heart skip as new feelings began to bud within her small chest. To see someone go this far for someone like her triggered something inside of her that caused the horn on her head to start shining a pretty yellow.

Feeling his missing astral energy suddenly start to rejuvenate, he couldn't help but look down at the glowing horn on Eri's head.

"Eri?"

Watching all of this take place from below, Overhaul watched as her quirk awakened properly for the first time.

"How dare you... HOW DARE YOU ERI!!" Creating a large earth spike, madness appeared in Chisaki's eyes as he launched the spike at the flying Aiden.

Not fully understanding why his power was back to 100%, but from Overhaul's scream and Eri's glowing horn, he could guess what was going on.

"Thank you Eri." He smiled and constructed a katana that resembled the sword of his deceased master in his right hand. Watching the giant earth spike approaching him, he held the sword high above his head and gathered over more than half his astral energy reserves into the blade.

"Slash."

Feeling a loud ringing in her ears, all the noise in the area vanished into a barely audible hum as a sea of purple light covered her vision. Feeling the air around her shake, Eri wondered what had just happened and what was going on. The only comfort she had was the fact that she could still feel Aiden's arm holding onto her despite her inability to see him.

---

Descending from the sky with Eri in his arms, Aiden watched as the dust cloud below him started to clear away.

'Wow...'

Looking at what had once been a spiked ground, all the was left was a gigantic sword scar that had devastated the entire area. Rubble was everywhere and the ceiling above them had somehow collapsed leaving the sky open for both him and Eri to see.

Knowing that this strike reflected 100% of his current power, Aiden was in awe of himself. Feeling that Eri's power was still active, Aiden felt his missing power rejuvenate once again.

Once his feet had been planted firmly on the ground, he walked over to a naked Chisaki laying in the rubble, too weak to even lift his arm. Seeing that his body was in bad shape, Aiden guessed that he used his quirk to repair what he could before his body gave out on him.

Seeing Aiden approach him with Eri in hand, Chisaki felt unbridled hatred for the man but was too weak to even open his mouth.

Looking at his pathetic state, Aiden really wished that he had more time to torture him, but since the heroes were about to arrive he wanted to keep things quiet.

Standing above the downed villain, he looked at him without the slightest emotion in his eyes.

"Its kind of poetic isn't it? You wanted to use her power to revive the Yakuza, but at the end of the day, it was thanks to her power that I could beat you... I'm sure the irony of the situation isn't lost on you."

"...."

"Y'know, if you had just kept to yourself and built up your forces in secret, you probably would have been a force to be reckoned with. Its just a shame that you started selling your product so early on. If you didn't do that, the heroes would have never have caught onto your scheme, heck, if you didn't do that I wouldn't even be here talking to you. At the end of the day, you lost thanks to your own hubris."

Seeing that Chisaki was naked, Aiden guessed that the bullets he had on him were destroyed by his slash.

Putting his hand into his cloak, Aiden pulled out the gun he took from Mustard from the time the Wild, wild pussycat's forest was burning.

"You wanted to reset the world back to the time the Yakuza ruled right? That's why you chose to model your product to resemble bullets. In the past guns were a high class commodity that signified power in our society. And if the Yakuza had enough firepower, no one would mess with them... That being said, you shouldn't have an issue dying to the hands of a bullet than a quirk right?"

"...."

"Glad we see eye to eye..." He removed the safety and pointed at Overhaul's forehead. "You were a real idiot Chisaki, die knowing that the legacy of the Yakuza ended because of your own selfishness."

*BANG!!*
