11 Chapter 10
***3rd POV***
The familiar figure seems to also noticed Luna's presence. So without wasting time he charge forward to Luna's direction.
'Scan' Luna asked the system as he dodged the surprise punch from the familiar guy.
⟦Leonardo ???
Quirk: Lesser Dragon's Constitution
Strength-250
Agility-175
Intelligence-45⟧
'This guy looks familiar but a more and improved version' Luna internally thought as he look at the guy named Leonardo's status.
"It's you again you damn kid!!, Because of you my only family is murdered by my boss you pie*e of sh*t" The guy Leonardo screamed menacingly as he swinging his arm upward.
But unfortunately in the current Luna's perspective it looked slow, it can even be compared to a snail's pace in his eyes.
Seeing the pathetic attack, Luna calmly dodge the incoming attack by moving his head sideways.
While dodging something clicked in his head as he remembered who's this guy he is currently fighting.
'Oooh~ so it's the guy who tried to take Clara'
'But why did his quirk information different?, as far as I remember it's Lizard's Constitution and not this one. Shit… looks like there's more into this'
"Hey scaled guy where is your partner?" Luna asked suspiciously as he jumped back by doing a summersault in the air.
He also scanned the whole area trying to find someone else hidden and luckily there is no other presence in the room.
"You damn kid who are you to ask where he is after you left us there bleeding?? I will kill you to avenge him!!" The scaled guy screamed again with eyes full of rage as he remembered the night they fight with Luna.
'Ohh Wow he joined a group of syndicate then blame someone if something bad happened to him, it's just… WOW' Luna remarked internally.
"If he died like that, then how did this guy even survive" Luna whispered
Leonardo having enhanced senses heard him and thought that Luna is not only mocking him but also his dead friend.
"Of course you can't kill me, I have regeneration you dumb brat, but using this second chance I will slowly torture you first before surely killing you this time!!"
Luna in his battle mode ignored his words, as he fully focused his full attention in the enemys fist, claws and muscle movements.
By doing that he easily dodge continuously by only using minimal movements and also slowly read his enemy's attack pattern.
Right, Left, upward strike
*Swish* *Swish* *Swoosh*
Left hook, Right swing, Knee strike
*Swoosh* *Swoosh* *Swish*
And as the minute passed by, Luna noticed that the moves of the scaled guy is filled with just a combination of scratches, claws attack, grappling techniques and some unorthodox moves.
He can also see that the unnecessary bulky figure is somewhat restricting the guy's movement and full combat potential.
Luna dodge the right kick, after dodging he then send a palm strike as a counter and hit the scaled guy's elbow joint and almost dislocate it.
*Swish* *Bam*
Leonardo endure the hit as he punched using his right dominant arm but even still, his opponent still dodge his attack
*Swoosh*
While Luna is dodging, the scaled guy seems to noticed that his little mortal enemy become much faster and nimbler than before.
The first time they meet Leonardo can see that Luna is just as fast as his sworn brother Rai, maybe his late brother is much better if not for this little guys weird teleportation move.
Little did he know that even though Luna is just dodging he is also still suppressing his true strength.
'This damn brat got faster since the last time we met'
While thinking like that, Leonardo then used his large body as swiftly throwed 2 large pieces of the destroyed building towards Luna's direction.
*bang *bam*
*bang* *bam*
*Boom*
Luna dodged the large rocks but the small shockwaves caused by the impact to the ground, give him some openings that the enemy exploits.
In short he tripped over in some rocks because of the apocalyptic terrain.
The enemy of course took the opportunity to stab him using his claws.
But Luna seeing the claws getting near him, he reacted quickly and create a thick circular shield made out of space particles.
Using the improvised shield he blocked the claw strike.
*Baam*
As the attack landed and hit the make shift shield, the heavy impact from it caused the shield to bend a little.
"Come at me like a man you piece of shit!!" The scaled guy shouted
Luna heard him and thought that Leonardo is just trying to riled him up. So he didn't give much attention in whatever the guy is saying.
Leonardo got angry as his attacks always got either blocked or dodged so now he decided to tear Luna's shield apart by punching and swiping his claws repeatedly.
*Bang*Bam*
*Bam*Bang*
The shield got devastated by the continuous blows and now disappeared completely.
Seeing his shield dissipate, Luna without thinking retreat a bit and planned his next course of action.
'If being defensive will not give me any opportunity to fight back, then offense is it' Luna thought as he swiftly create a thick double edge sword.
But since the normal way didn't give much result, he also pour some small amount of mana in it.
The mana then slowly got converted into electricity that flows towards the blade's body.
From time to time small sparks can be seen in his pitch black sword but doing it for the first time make some complications…
'*sigh*Too brittle'
Luna can see that his construct can't maintain the combination of both mana and space particles for long so he immediately used 〔Soru〕 and get behind the scaled guy and he slashed downward with all his might.
"Argh" Leonardo reacted a bit slower as Luna's slash cleanly hit and deeply wounded his back.
Leonardo's large figure is an easy target for the agile Luna but luckily for him, he have regeneration in exchange for his stamina.
The scaled guy also seems to noticed that he will be killed if that type of attacks continued so he jumped out and gained some distance to recover.
'This work the first time so I hope this work this time' Leonardo thought as he find something some rubbles to throw once again.
He thought that since he can't fight Luna in close range, he then will fight him in long distance by throwing rocks.
By doing that he hoped that it can slowly weaken Luna overtime. In dumb man's term he want to fight in a battle of attrition.
Leonardo picked up some small pebbles first, he then strongly flick it at Luna's direction.
*Swiish* *Bang*
'This guy's new quirk enhanced his strength by a huge margin' Luna analysed his opponents new body as he dodge the bullet like projectiles coming at him.
"Dance little monkey dance!!" Leonardo said as he flicked more rocks.
*Swiish*Swoosh*x??
Luna jumped sideways and run in a zigzag pattern to dodged the incoming projectiles.
As he dodge the last pebble, Luna suddenly felt an incoming danger towards his face.
And so trusting his insane instinct, Luna bend forward and dodged the large sharp claws approaching.
*Swish*
He dodge the first claw but even then he felt another strike from his left. Luna having no position to dodge he instead tried to defend using his sword.
*Clang*
Luna successful blocked the left hook but he can still feel the toll from the heavy punch.
His figure slid back for some meters as he received the force from the scaled guy's attack.
The former scales in Leonardo's arms now slowly spreading up to his body.
'He got stronger and faster!?' Luna got surprised at the changes in Leonardo's body.
Without a break he run around and find a corner and hide from the flying rocks that come close in an unbelievable speed.
-----
Leonardo seeing his plan worked nicely shouted and sneered at Luna's figure.
"Hahaha little brat, I will kill you to avenge my family"
"Take this for Rai" *Bang*
"And this is for…" *Boom*
"And this" *Bang* *Boom*
Luna desperately tried to dodge and get as much close as he can.
'How did he got strong? System Scan him'
⟦Leonardo ???
Quirk: Lesser Dragon's Constitution
Strength-350
Agility-275
Intelligence-45⟧
'Where the hell did that's plus 100 in both strength and agility even come from?!' Luna internally thought
After he reached a reasonable distance Luna then widely swinged his sword and used his new flying sword attack that have a weak lightning around it.
"WHAT Argh" Leonardo screamed as the blade hit him. Because of the suddenness of the air blade the scaled guy took the damage fully.
"How could that little brat even attack me in this range?"
Leonardo's large body now have an X shaped injury in his body. The upperleft to downright cut is the new one while the other one is the scar that he received in their previous fight.
'Shit I can feel my body is quickly weakening again' Leonardo thought
"I have no other way then…" He muttered with a determined expression
Leonardo knowing that he can't win this fight, took something in his pocket and quickly inject it in his arm.
*Lub dub* Lub dub*
The sound of a quick beating heart reverberate around the area as the scaled guy suddenly screamed in pain and convulsed.
"AghhhHHhHHhHh"
The guy named Leonardo's appearance then once again changed slowly.
Seconds passed and now a weak air pressure is now produced by his transformation.
His scaled body now have a green lines all over the place, then as the minutes passed by the former green lines slowly changed into orange that meet together in his chest specially his heart.
"Ughh?!! AgggHHHhH" Leonardo continuously screamed as he feel every part of his body got shredded into pieces before growing into a brand new part.
As bright orange glimmer of lines can be seen in his chest it then suddenly condensed into a bright orange gem.
"MAKEE ITTT SSTOOOPPP!!! PPLLEEAAAASEE!!" Leonardo begged as minute by minute he slowly lose his own reasoning
The time passed and now it's 8 minutes since the start of transformation and now the gem once again slowly changed into deep red in color.
The surrounding area near him also got blown away by the wind and the increasing pressure crushed some of the rocks nearby.
'What the heck is happening' Luna thought as he look at his opponent.
Luna now have a serious look in his face. He also changed his weapon and created his favourite, the katana construct.
He knows that he can't interrupt the process of the guy as the wind blows got stronger as the time passed by.
Luna also can't get near the guy as the rocks keep flying around giving him no choice but to silently wait and prepare himself.
A few moments later the scaled guys appearance completely changed.
The wind that surround him also disappeared after the last air blown.
*Fwooooosh*
Leonardo's figure now looked like a human and lizard hybrid. His eyes is now slit like a snake.
But his new body now looked more compact unlike his bulky figure from before.
'Scan'
⟦(Leonardo) #23
Quirk: Dragonoid Constitution
Strength-650
Agility-475
Intelligence-55⟧
'Oh my lord, Thats a goddamn big boost in stats' Luna silently thought as he checked his opponent's new stats
After a while, Luna can see that the guy is just standing there while clenching his arms and feeling his strength.
'He looked like a Nomu but how?! As far as I remember All for One is in Japan not here??' Luna wondered
'Well that's a thought for later… But for now, waiting will lead us nowhere so let's finish this' Luna thought as he decided to take this opportunity and attack using his katana construct filled with space energy.
'Lets try this new move shall we' Luna internally said as he hold the katana with his two hands and poured more space energy in his katana.
*Tssss* More and more dark purple and red black particles gather in his blade.
The process continued until Luna's katana looked burning as the space particles happily danced around his blade.
While Luna is concentrating for his new move, the former Leonardo and now named Nomu felt danger somewhere and attacked on where does it come from.
*Bamm*
The Nomu's figure blurred and suddenly disappeared with it unbelievable speed.
But as soon as the fast nomu reappeared in front of Luna, it also suddenly lunched a swift punch in his figure.
The surprise attack hit Luna's chest and immediately fling him for a dozens of metes away.
While flying, his back hit multiple rocks and as Luna hit the last thick wall, he also lose the momentum from the Nomu's punch and coughed a mouthful of blood.
His figure is still deeply embedded in the concrete and bleeding slightly, he also have some leftover blood in the corner of his lips.
"Damn, things got even harder and harder" Luna muttered as he slowly tried to stand up.
But as soon as Luna stand a sudden barrage of kicks and punches rained in front of him.
*Bam*Bam*Bang*x??
Luna didn't have much time to recover himself as he quickly took his defensive stance and controlled his center of gravity inward.
*Bam*Bam*Bang*
*Bang*Bam*Bang*
*Bam*Bang*Bang*
Currently the Nomu is attacking him continuously without break, but in the end Luna only received small cuts and bruises all around his body.
Luna know that he is currently 3 times weaker and 2 times slower than the Nomu because of the watch.
But even then just by using his trained instinct and proper techniques he can still parried most of the attack while also dodging the big damaging moves.
'Faster… Faster… More Faster' Luna thought inside his mind as he slowly got accustomed to the Nomu's speed.
The Nomu is like a mindless beast that only attack based on it's survival instinct.
So if it feel something dangerous, it will react to it and eliminate the danger itself.
The Nomu is also still limited by it's endurance, so if it continuously move without break it will soon get exhausted but later recovered swiftly.
'Chance'
Seeing the Nomu stopped for a second Luna slashed towards it's neck and tried to decapitate it.
*Shinggg~*
But before it hit it's targeted spot, the Nomu easily countered his slash by it's own punch.
*Clang*
This Nomu have some dense scales and by using that, it can easily countered Luna's sword cuts.
*Sigh*
Luna sighed as he see all of his efforts are in vain.
But even then he still stood his ground and trade blows after blows with the Nomu.

⁂??? LABORATORY⁂
"Sir, we picked up the energy signal from experiment #23 near Natasha's location" A guy wearing a lab coat reported
"Heh! Seems like our research is going nicely and with this we will soon rule the world Mwahahahah" The Middle age man fanatically said
The middle age man is quite young maybe around 35 in age, have a deep black hair, violet eyes and fair body complexion and build.
After he laughed he looked at the scientist seriously and said "For the truth doctor"
"For the truth" The scientist immediately replied and then leave the middle aged man alone.
Moments later, as he see the scientist leave the middle aged man clenched his fist and looked at the paper in his desk with the tittle [The first Meteorite]
"Soon my lord… soon we will rule this world" He whispered

⁂Spanova's Hideout⁂
6 minutes passed since Leonardo transformed, but in Luna's perspective the fight feels like 2 days long.
He now looked like a beggar as his clothes is now ripped and full of cuts, but even then his sharp eyes is still full of life and fully alert.
'I'm nearing my body's limit, looks like I need to hide and heal for now' Luna internally thought.
He is exhausted but even then Luna still have some spare space energy to use.
Using his last energy he create multiple animal constructs and use it to play with the Nomu for sometime.
He created rabbits with a sharp horn in it's forehead, tigers with wings and other bunch of stuffs.
After creating a diversion Luna stealthy backed away.
By swiftly hiding his presence, he then proceed to look at the surrounding for some hiding spot.
After sometime he landed on a deep crater and rest his heavily beaten body.
As of now, Luna is panting heavily as the last move he pulled exhaust him so much than he expected.
Taking some deep breaths, Luna then shakingly took one Senzu Bean from his inventory and heal his small wounds.
After sometime his energy fully replenished itself and at the same time regaining his lost stamina.
Even if his body fully healed, his exhausted mind didn't. So Luna's only choice for now is to finish this raid quickly.
The thought partition also did its job and create a possible move to end this fight.
Now fully recovered he can now clearly think of plausible way to beat his enemy.
Without a second thought he immediately initiate his plan and charged forward to the Dragonoid Nomu.
His blade is currently broken and missing some small pieces of it so he gathered all of the space particles he can control and made a katana construct that looked bigger than his current figure.
(A/N: Remember he is still 9 years old)
The new katana look sleek, refined and more sharp. It is also weightless because its his own energy and he can of course manipulate it easily.
After crafting the long katana he channel the 0.0000001% of the alter energy he can control in this blade.
The blade then shined bright and after it glowed for sometime it now looked more realistic especially the wave like pattern in its blade.
There is also a dragon design in it's guard and the hilt of the blade looked more defined and at the same time the edge also looks more realistic.
After sometime the blade once again shines brightly as he poured more alter energy inside the blade and further coating it in more space particles outside.
As he prepared all he could Luna controlled the animal constructs as he also dashed forward while reducing the gravity in his watch.
Now that he only have 150 more gravity, his speed exponentially explode.
(A/N: He have 255 before)
Luna dashed at an unbelievable speed as he smoothly thrust his blade in the scaled guys heart.
*Crack*
His overflowing speed plus the alter powered blade didn't just pierce the guy but completely destroyed it's entire body inside out.
"Kreeeee!!" The Nomu screeched, but it's current voice sounded like the nails being scratched in a blackboard.
**BBOOOOOOOMMMM!!!**
While screaming the Dragonoid Nomu's body disintegrated along with the entire battlefield thus leaving no trace of it's existence.
Luckily they are deep enough so the other heroes and innocent people are not that affected by the explosion occurred in the room.
After the impact of his blade the location of the fight is now obliterated and the place looks like a meteor crashed site.
Luna is also completely tired once again as he poured all his current control, focus, and space energy in that single attack.
Thinking about the battle he recalled Leonardo's figure.
(Moments Earlier)
As the full powered blade pierced Leonardo's body and hit the red gem in his chest, his consciousness also returned for some moments and mouthed a 'Thank You' in Luna's figure before he peacefully died with a smile.
***Luna's POV***
"Damn that is so fu*king exhausting, that guy have something that is not mentioned in the anime or maybe it's mentioned and I just didn't remember what episode!!?" I said out loud because of frustration.
I also know that there will be no one that can spectate that level of fight because I once swiftly scanned the entire place to make sure nothing will be hit by that attack earlier.
"If my estimation is right that guy can contend with All Might for Fu*k sake" I continued to complain as I eat another Senzu Bean then returned my usual gravity of 255.
(A/N: No his opponent is not a real Nomu but close to it. Why?
First it doesn't have an exposed brain. Second it doesn't need anyone's order for it to move around.
But for convenience sake I used the name nomu for now instead of other shenanigans)

⁂??? LABORATORY⁂
Two scientists barge in a room with a nervous expression.
"S-s-sir s-something happened at subject #23" One of the scientist stutteringly reported
"WHAAAT!!, What the hell happened??!" The middle age man screamed as he slammed his fist in his table
"S-sir t-he energy signature suddenly disappeared after sometime, l-looks like we still need more test to adjust the drugs output" The other scientist explained
"I don't care!!, Where does the last signal detected?!" The middle age man crazily shouted
"It's from the same location it appeared sir, that's why all of us deduced that the test subject's body can't handle the sudden influx of power from the drug" The scientist said
"Recalibrate and find the solution to this problem then!! what are you waiting for!!" The middle age man shout
*Haaaa~*
The middle aged man took a deep breath.
"But before that, Call the available agents we have and try to retrieve test subject #23's body if you can" The man said after he calmed down
""Affirmative sir"" The two scientists simultaneously said
"For the truth" They all fanatically said
