3 Ch. 4 - The Vigilante's First Mission

The school year is finally over. Everyone's happy. Why? It's because of today. December 25. It's Christmas.

In Japan, everyone celebrates Christmas, because it's not only for religious traditions, but to spread happiness to everyone.

Everyone except the broccoli boy. Our cinnamon roll, Izuku Midoriya. After he found out about his Quirks, one is from the bite of a genetically modified spider and one that came out of nowhere. But there's one question that's still bothering him.

Did he truly see ghosts? The day after the 'reunion', he saw no ghosts anymore. Hallucination is a bitch, and that he needs to go to therapy to make sure he's okay, but there's no time for that.

During the days after he saw the 'souls' of his parents and learning the truth of his father's absence, he was working on how to make a suit for his work of being a vigilante. Yesterday, he finally found what he needed. A black coat with long sleeves that reach to both of his wrist and black pants and shoes that match his coat.

He also had a dark green beanie hat with a dark green handkerchief that covers his mouth and nose with an addition of a pair of black shades. Hands are bare naked, not wearing any gloves since he's fighting style is kickboxing. Now, he's waiting for the sun to go down until it's night time, hoping there are criminals or thieves trying to rob happiness during this Christmas.

He checks the wall clock of his room and it's 7:00 PM. Formerly, his room is full of All Might figures and posters since he really idolizes him so much. But those All Might collections are no more as he decides to collect them all and donate them to the poor. Now he's room is like any other teenagers' room.

He decided it's time for his first mission as a vigilante. He put on his vigilante clothes and made a Holy Trinity sign, praying that he'll go home safe and sound.

Also praying to his parents that they'll guide him to the right path.

He then found a building that is enough for him to sneak around, jumping from another building to another.

Surprisingly to his eyes, Izuku didn't expect himself to exert energy enough for him to jump on a building that has four floors.

After jumping on a building to another for a few minutes, he looks around on the streets below, seeing other people smiling and laughing at each other.

Whenever he sees those kinds of people, it makes him grew sad, knowing that he's all alone, growing old and old without his parents.

"Ah! Help me!" That random voice snapped that snaps Izuku out of his trance. Thanks to the unexpected quirk he gained, his five senses enhanced.

He followed the source of the scream as he only jumps on one building and saw... a little girl thrashing around from a group of 5 men, cackling from her persistence.

"No one will hear you, girl. Now go to sleep." One of the men said that while holding a handkerchief and put it on the little girl's mouth, making her sniff it and fell unconsciously on one of the men who is holding her.

Izuku's eyes went wide, knowing the man holding the handkerchief did to the girl.

The handkerchief is dipped in Chloroform, making the girl sniff the handkerchief and fell unconscious.

He was about to stop them, but two of the group started to talk. "Another addition to our slaves." "Yeah, let's go back to the base."

This causes Izuku to get curious about what is inside their base.

More importantly, "Another addition to their slaves?" He murmured to himself under his handkerchief as he saw the men went to a nearby van in the dark alley.

It is dark, but thanks again to his enhanced senses, he can almost see what's inside the van, but what caught his eyes are five bodies inside the van.

They put the little girl in the van and went inside to drive away from the scene, successfully adding another collection to whatever they're doing.

Seeing they're returning back to their base, Izuku followed them by jumping from a building to another one.

He's not having trouble from the people on the streets since it's night and they can't sense him.

After a few minutes, he's still following them, but he noticed his surroundings. He's far away from the city and they're in some kind of an abandoned laboratory or some sort.

Then he saw two guards with guns guarding the garage door. Once it opened, the van went inside. Izuku stops at his tracks and tried to find a way to see what's inside.

"(Damn it, if I can climb the wall like a spider, that would be very appreciating.)" He thought to himself while scanning the outside perimeter of the big house.

"(Try.)" That random voice made Izuku slightly jumped. It's the voice inside his head after few months of inactive, but somehow a tone that is supposed to be angry now it's the opposite that makes Izuku get conflicted from the sudden change of tone.

"(What?)" Questioned the boy.

"(If you want to climb like a spider, then why don't you try it?)" The voice said, making Izuku get more... suspicious from it.

Somehow does the voice sounds like something that makes him do what it says, but at the same time he can't trust it.

Conflicted, the boy was thinking. Will he listen to it or ignore it?

After a moment, he chose the decision. For the first time, he finally decided to trust the voice since there is no choice but to listen. He looks at a specific wall to hold on and possibly climb.

After he found the wall, he jumps towards it with his hands stretched out front, to the wall he was about to hold onto.

He made contact with the wall and tightly grip it. Much to his surprise, he was clinging to the wall, just like what the voice said.

He tried to wall climb and it worked. He really is like a spider, causing Izuku's eyes to get wide open, much to his surprise.

Excitement overwhelmed by the mission, he quickly ignores the happy emotion since he's here to save the little girl and possibly those who were kidnapped.

He first looks at the door, where two persons are guarding it and to his disbelief, there is a camera on the wall or CCTV, recording of what's happening outside.

Thanks to his instincts awhile ago, in his pocket is a duct tape he bought awhile ago.

He went above them but devised a plan to cover the camera first by using the duct tape he had and silently knock out the guards, making sure to avoid any noise that may cause unwanted attention to whoever inside the house.

Once he gets close to the CCTV camera, he successfully covers it and jumped in front of the guard near it.

Both guards were caught off guard by Izuku's sudden appearance. Since Izuku's back is facing the guard, he did a 180 degree with his left kick hitting the guard's face, sending the man flying to the second guard.

Because of the force exerted from Izuku's roundhouse kick, the guard whom Izuku kicked got knocked out quickly. For the second guard, he too got knocked out from getting hit by the first guard.

Once they're unconscious, Izuku pulled them to a nearby bush and tied them up, including their mouth so that they will never shout for help and seek attention from what just happened.

After that, he went back to wall climbing, hoping that there is one window that can see everything inside.

"Put them there!" He heard the voice of a man and it comes from inside. With this, Izuku began to find a window to see what is happening.

He found the window and he peeks inside after that. He saw 6 men, wearing casual clothes, but holding guns that were sub-machine and handguns. Only 2 of them are holding shotguns.

He saw another door that was opened. "Those heroes will get what they'll never expect from us." One of the 5 men said. He was one of the kidnappers Izuku stalked awhile ago. Well, not stalk, but watched the scene from the shadows.

The green-haired boy cannot believe his eyes. There eleven men, all holding dangerous weapons that'll take a human life, but what caught his eyes is there is only one man who's not only holding a gun, but also carries swords, daggers, shurikens and there are knives on his waist as well.

"(I have to be careful if he's so good with those weapons.)" Those are the words Izuku thought, thinking a strategy to avoid the man with sharp weapons with an additional idea if that man, with sharp weapons, is also the leader of this gang they are in.

"Mission accomplish, sir." A man said, stating the status of their mission and caused the leader to reply, "Excellent. Now, we take a rest. Tomorrow's a big day and nothing can stop us now, including those fake heroes."

With this, the members disperse, wanting to sleep early while 1 one of them is guarding the door to wherever it leads to.

Seeing them going to sleep, Izuku checked his watch and it showed that the time is 7:45 p.m. He decided to wait for a few hours until they literally slept. Well, that doesn't mean he will open his eyes for a long period of time. He, too, decided to take a nap on a roof.

==Time Skip==

Slowly opened his eyes, Izuku woke up. He checked the time on his wristwatch, it showed 10:00 PM. It has been a few hours since he slept. With that, he decided to call the police department on the phone he brought with.

When he said to the police department about the location he's with and the information he gained in the place, he didn't say his name, only a fake by the name of...

Shadow.

Of course, he was having a hard time with a chief of police of that particular department since he knows that vigilante is not to be trusted. But with the help of his serious tone and that he is not totally joking, he finally convinced them.

After the phone call with a police department ended, he placed his phone inside a pocket. It's time for him to sneak in and save the hostages. Operation: Rescue Mission is a go-go.

He got back to the window where he last saw them talking. He noticed that the window is locked and roam around to see where is the opening.

He found a balcony on the 2nd floor, located in the backyard. He landed and saw that the door to the balcony is unlocked.

"(I'll help you see something in the dark.)" That voice came again, surprising Izuku by the sudden sound.

Somehow, the voice was filled with worry, one that's concerned for someone's safety. He went inside and it was dark, but for a few seconds, his vision got a little brighter, yet still dark since it's night time. Not only that, but he could also see the outlines of every furniture within the room.

A smirk grew from his face, knowing that it is time to rescue the hostages without wasting every single second. He didn't even flinch about breaking the law of using a quirk against a villain, since rescuing a life is better than breaking laws.

He slowly walks down the stairs and saw the man, who's guarding the door, is sleeping on the sofa.

Tip toed his way towards the door that was guarded. Slowly tried to open, but it can't. It's locked.

"(The keys are on the sofa, just be c-careful.)" The tone had a mixture of scared tone, confusing Izuku as he glanced at the man, sleeping on the sofa and surprisingly he saw the key, realizing why the tone is scared and worried.

Sweating so hard, he slowly went to the sofa with hands trembling as if one move, it will cost everything. His hands are getting sweaty as he reached towards the hand, holding the keys. He removes the fingers at a very slow pace.

He made a stop, making sure that the man will never wake up if Izuku continues.

He saw the opportunity that the key was uncovered by the man's fingers as he reaches out the keys trembling.

He grabs hold of the keys and slowly retract his arms and went to the door.

He inserts one of the keys, but it didn't work since the keychain holds three keys. He tried the other, but it failed.

There's only one key left, Izuku hoped that it's the right key or else... he'll look everywhere for the right key.

He inserts the remaining one in the keyhole of the door. He slowly turns it and-

'Click'

"Uh-oh." Whispered to himself, he can feel his body shivered from the loud sound of the door unlocked. Slowly turning around, he saw the man moved.

Emotions running wild and took over his body as Izuku thought that it's over. He had a plan, though. He will knock them all out and will do anything to save the hostages.

Teeth gritted and fists clenched, Izuking prepared to knock the man out like the others outside. A sudden event came next. The man stops squirming and miraculously went back to sleep.

The pressure on Izuku's shoulders has been lifted as he silently takes a deep sigh of relief, knowing that the event he's thinking didn't happen.

He turns back to the door, and it opened!

He slowly opened the door and closed it as he got in. After he focused on closing the door, he turns around... and saw stairs leading down.

"(Some kind of an underground base. I hope there are no guards down there.)" He thought to himself as he was about to go down, but hesitated a bit.

Izuku tried to calm down by inhaling and exhaling. Once finished, a determined look was shown on his face as he accepts any obstacles that are blocking his path...

To save the hostages.
