Operation "Ghou takedown."

Sirius let the Basilisks hunt on their own and walked out of the alley. His ears were immediately attacked by the screams of the crowd and loud music.

'A Quirk for sound concealing. Most likely it's one of the organizers of this gathering. But I don't see them anywhere, which means either they are not here, or they are hidden in the crowd. Doesn't matter. If they aren't here, then I will simply break into the police station and find the appropriate information there. Hmm, maybe Giran knows something about this place.'

Hearing that there is music here, Black grinned and immediately walked towards the source of the sound.

He saw the speakers on the roof of one of the buildings and, with the help of Pride, put on the song of his choice on hold. It didn't make sense for him to start his solo raid right now. First, he needed to make sure none of these bastards could escape. He had three minutes until the end of this song. Holly wand fell into Black's hand and he set to work.

Meanwhile, only two people were left standing in the ring. The first was an overly muscular man who laughed like a madman. He had short blond hair and his muscles covered his body from top to bottom. It was the S-Rank Villain Muscle who came here to satisfy his bloodlust.

The second was a skinny teen who could manipulate his bones, he looked no more than seventeen years old and his eyes were filled with a mixture of determination and fear. It was Miyamura Bonoga, who since childhood dreamed of becoming a Hero, but was kidnapped a couple of years ago and thrown to be torn apart on the Ring. It was a miracle that he was able to survive up to this point and he knew it very well.

Bonoga was able to dodge another blow from the Villain, but his neck was cut by air pressure. He swore and shot his bones into Muscular's face, hoping to get his eyes, but Muscular managed to cover himself with his hand. The bones entered the muscles but didn't do much harm to the Villain.

Muscular grinned and jumped at the teenager with an explosive burst of speed and finally managed to hit him in the chest. Bonoga's ribs crackled with the force of the blow and snapped, piercing his lungs.

Each breath was felt like lava in his throat, his eyes filled with tears from the incredible pain.

'Did I survive here for two years just to die? I don't want to die.'

"Ho, are you still alive?" Muscular leaned over and looked him in the face. "You know, I had fun, although you were weak."

Muscular raised his leg over Bonoga's head and wanted to crush his skull, but suddenly the familiar sound of drums changed to another song.

"What the hell?"

[Some folks are born made to wave the flag

Ooh, they're red, white, and blue, yeah.

And when the band plays "Hail to the Chief"

They point the cannon at you, Lord!]

A bolt of red lightning flashed through the crowd and as soon as it disappeared, the world caught fire. It knocked out a couple of dozen people, but most escaped with only minor burns. Muscular immediately stopped paying attention to his broken toy and started looking for whoever attacked the crowd.

[It ain't me,]

Another flash of fire. [it ain't me!] And one more.

[I ain't no senator's son, son]

[It ain't me,] The fire consumed a dozen more people and their screams became louder than music. [it ain't me!]

"[I ain't no fortunate one!]"

Now a second voice joined the music and the Villains looked at the huge speaker on which stood Salazar Slytherin completely dressed in black except for white gloves. He snapped his fingers and the fire consumed the crowd again.

The Villains made a mistake when they looked up, the Basilisks did not wait long. Five people fell to the ground bitten by the most dangerous snakes on the planet. Unfortunately, their venom was still undeveloped and was only able to temporarily paralyze their targets - except for Godric's pray, his target would be paralyzed forever.

At the same time, the central street of Ghon was cordoned off by the police. The Heroes began their attack. To the north, the Endeavor fire joined Salazar's fire, and the Best Jeanist dragged the knocked-out Villains away. Midnight and Kamui Woods worked as a team and also quickly cleared out their area in the south. Those Villains who managed to escape from them were met by a dozen police officers and Heroes at each exit from the zone, but even those who could break out of the cordon crashed into invisible walls.

Sirius Black was a Wizard before anything else. He created Wards that would not allow anyone to leave Ghon. It has become a huge trap.

Sirius looked at the Heroes and nodded, this explained why his FTF was so quiet. But he couldn't dwell on his situation because a muscular man - who was the last survivor in the ring - landed on the roof next to him.

"Hey, hey, man! You're stopping me from enjoying life, I was going to kill these idiots!"

[Some folks are born silver spoon in hand

Lord, don't they help themselves, Yeah.]

Sirius just tilted his head. How should he respond to a madman? People like him take satisfaction from the pain of others, so he is not even worth the words. Moreover, Sirius was used to fighting in silence. There is no point in yelling at your opponent if in the end he still ends up in prison or a coffin.

[But when the taxman comes to the door

The house looks like a rummage sale!]

"And who are you? I didn't expect to see someone of your level in such a disgusting place. You are much stronger than the low-level Villains. S-rank I presume? Well, it doesn't matter." Sirius adjusted his gloves.

"Your muscles are regenerating at an incredible rate, so I just need to burn them before you can recover."

Muscular laughed out loud and crouched to prepare for the jump.

"You're interesting! I hope you have enough blood to back it up!"

[It ain't me, it ain't me!]

Muscular jumped at Sirius like a predator on his prey. But the Wizard only stepped aside, showing that there were shadow spikes behind him all this time. Black expected such direct tactics from an idiot, no brain all brawl.

[I ain't no millionaire's son, no, no]

The Villain's eyes widened in understanding, and he tried to twist his body to dodge, but the spikes followed.

The S-rank Villain Muscular has become a kebab.

[It ain't me, it ain't me!]

The spikes pierced his legs and arms, rendering them useless. Muscular screamed in pain, drawing everyone's attention.

[I ain't no fortunate one.]

Endeavor, who recognized the S-rank Villain, was furious that he did not have time to personally burn him to a crisp. But he was even angrier that the bastard who defeated the Villan immediately knocked Muscular out with a blow of his shadow hand and continued to burn the small fry below.

"Jeanist, I'm leaving this place to you, we're almost done! I'm going after this Salazar!"

"What the hell, Endeavor?! Are you a Pro Hero or an idiot?! Stick to the plan, we can't-"

But Jeanist's protests fell on deaf ears, Endeavor was already flying towards the roof.

"Dammit!"

The hero landed on the same roof that Salazar was standing on, but Salazar only created a shadow eye on his shoulder to follow the Endeavor's movements. This angered Hero Number Two even more and he immediately went on the attack with a furious cry.

'How dare he ignore me?! This fucking Villain who decided to play Hero dares-!'

The fire consumed Salazar and Enji was confident that he had already won the fight, but still did not lower his defense. Salazar could use fire, so he probably has some kind of resistance.

And to the little surprise of the Hero, Vigilante stood in the same place without a single scratch, except that now he was surrounded by a shadow dome. A mouth and a pair of green eyes immediately appeared on it, but for a couple of seconds, Salazar was silent.

". . . You know, I'm feeling cold most of the time. Nothing helps, neither warm clothes, nor a fireplace in my huge villa. Even boiling water doesn't help. The only thing that serves me as salvation is the warmth of another person. And now your flame. Who would have thought that a knock-off Fiendfyre could become a Quirk, huh? Is that why you seem so angry?"

[Yeah, some folks inherit star-spangled eyes

They send you down to war.]

"Do you think that matters to me? Tell this to a warden in your cold cell in Tartarus!"

"Tartarus?" He asked confused.

But the Hero had already sent another wave of fire towards him, which was immediately absorbed by the shadow mouth.

"Shit!"

[And when you ask 'em, "How much should we give?"]

"Oh yeah, shit." Dozens of voices rang out from behind him.

Without even thinking, Endeavor jumped to the side with his fire, this saved him from a dozen shadow hands. His fire was able to dispel most of it, but several shadow hands remained intact.

Salazar clicked his tongue and lowered his shadow dome.

[They only answer, "More, more, more!"]

"Fucking Pride. Did he influence me after all? Where did all these years of stealth training go? Why the hell did I give off my sneak attack so easily? I'm not a fucking newbie, for Jasmine's sake!" He muttered in annoyance and wawed his hand. The shadows below rose to create a wall and saved some Hero from a knife in the back.

Salazar had previously created shadow eyes in every shadow that he could find and watched the battlefield. He didn't want anyone to die, especially since he could save them with a wave of his hand.

[It ain't me, it ain't me

I ain't no military son, son.]

"Okay, why the hell are you here when your team is still fighting down there? Do you want this to turn into a bloodbath?!" Salazar said in rage and started to approach the Hero.

[It ain't me, it ain't me]

"You're saying that, but you still standing here-"

[I ain't no fortunate one, one.]

"I'm a ranged fighter! You have enough control over your Quirk to fight in close range, so why the fuck are you standing here trying to kill me?! Me, who's been helping you and your fucking operation?!"

[It ain't me, it ain't me,

I ain't no fortunate one.]

Sirius got closer with each step and began to exude a menacing aura.

"Ho. You're approaching me?" The Hero taunted, ignoring his words.

[It ain't me, it ain't me,]

"I can't beat the shit out of you without getting closer."

[I ain't no fortunate one.]

"Then come as close as you like."

But suddenly Salazar stopped abruptly and smiled like a Cheshire. His menacing aura disappeared and was replaced by complete calmness.

"The song has ended and our dance has come to an end. Congratulations Hero, your limbs will remain intact."

With incredible speed, Salazar hit the floor beneath him and fell into the hole. A cloud of dust blocked Endeavor's vision, so he couldn't see his opponent disappear from Ghon.

"YOU BASTARD!"

---

Sirius went down to the first floor where the Basilisks were already waiting for him. Towards the end of the song, he used shadow mouths and told them to gather here so they could quickly escape. His Ward will last another five minutes, enough for the Heroes to capture everyone in the Ring of Death. And this is enough for Sirius to leave.

He transmutated his clothes into a different style and different colors so that he could not be identified, and also removed the shadow from his face. Now he looked like any other teenager. Any other teenager with six Basilisks that is.

§Wasss your first hunt sssuccessssssful?§

§The prey wasss easssy. No sssurvival inssstinctsss.§ Godric hissed.

§Sssix.§ Clay answered simply and wrapped himself around Sirius's neck.

§We bit twenty people. It'sss a pity I couldn't taste their flesssh.§ Rowena nodded in agreement with her sister and both hid in his wide sleeves.

§One was able to see me. The human got scared and hit his head against the wall.§ Razputin also hid under his clothes.

§Everything went much better than I expected.§

Sirius walked calmly to the station and returned to Musutafu. He returned to his house only to see all the inhabitants of the house sitting at the table and looking at him with unreadable expressions.

"Erm. Hello?"

"Sirius Regulus Black."

'Full name, that's bad.'

"Why is the name Salazar Slyzarin in the news? Like the name of one of the S-ranked Vigilante who raided Ghon, too."

"Also, tell me why you left home on a potentially deadly mission without saying a word to anyone." Added Azumi sounding like a mother who caught her kid with his hand in a cookie jar.

"For starters, I'm Englishman, I'm leaving without saying goodbye. And answering your question Luna, I probably burned about seventy Villains below A-rank and one S-rank. To be honest, it wasn't much different from the solo operation when I was an Auror."

"When you were an Auror, you had reinforcements, information on possible targets, and support from the Ministry of Magic. Now you have none of that."

"You have a point. But I had Basilisks with me-"

"Basilisks that still haven't gotten their powers, you mean."

"Well. I have nothing to say here."

Luna sighed heavily and got up from her chair. The catgirl walked over to Sirius and hugged him. Sirius, who was expecting a slap, was a little surprised but hugged her back.

"Don't do that anymore. You know that we are the last of the Wizarding World, and I can't lose you too."

Black said nothing and just hugged her tighter. During all this time that he was alone as Alexander Gold, he got used to the idea that no one was waiting for him. That nobody needs him. And right now he has people whom he can call friends, maybe even family. He didn't want them to suffer from his actions.

'But the situation has changed, hasn't it?'

"Okay, little Moon, I promise."

Naomasa sat in Nezu's office with a huge headache. Nezu was a small white animal that looked like a mixture of a mouse, dog, and bear, but was not one of them. He was the principal of the best school for young Heroes: UA high and was considered the smartest creature in Japan.

The report that came after the raid on Ghon was within expectations, but one part was. . . troubling.

"So you're saying that Salazar Slizarin used three Quirks. Shadows, fire, and snake tongue."

The detective nodded.

"I don't like the implications of this. If he has several Quirks, then we cannot deny the possibility that he is related to this person." "All for One." Naomasa nodded again and sighed heavily. "We haven't heard anything about him in three years, I thought All Might finished the deed the last time."

"Apparently not. We need to inform Toshinori about this, he may have to return from America earlier. The world needs the Pillar of Peace, so it's time for him to choose his successor. Also, the actions of the elder Todoroki raise suspicion, why did the professional Hero leave his comrades so easily? Even though he has trouble controlling his anger, he has never made such mistakes before."

Naomasa flipped through a couple of sheets and returned to Endeavor's report.

"The camera and microphone that were installed in the suits for this operation recorded a rather interesting thing about our Vigilante. Our expert heard an English accent in his speech, it was almost non-existstant, but it is still there. We also noticed strange patterns on his gloves. It may be nothing, but given his habit of dressing in all black, this is unlikely."

Nezu looked more closely at Salazar's gloves and froze.

"He's an Alchemist." The animal said in shock and twitched.

Nezu was one of the few animals with a Quirk, so certain people were very interested in it. The principal spent the beginning of his life in a laboratory where inhuman experiments were carried out on him.

But when he first woke up, he came face to face with the Alchemist. He said that he was its creator, but a Chimera like him is a failed experiment.

"Alchemist?"

"I only saw one in my life and he was a terrible human. Dozens of terrifying animals sat in cages and each of them was furious. It was even worse than that incident in North Korea."

"So we have a second Alchemist who doesn't kill, but helps people. How dangerous was the first one?"

"If he finds a way to control these animals, then he will be on par with the other S-ranked Villains."

"That's not good."
