12 Chapter 11
⁂Spanova's Hideout⁂
***Luna's POV***
After recovering I picked a new outfit since well… the last one is in pieces, after wearing a new clothes I once again walked inside deeper.
I keep walking and helped some of the endangered Heroes I encountered.
While moving around I also captured some small time enemies and escort them outside.
Continuing what I'm doing I suddenly found an interesting guy. He is not that powerful but his quirk have many hidden possible potential.
That's that and there is also the battlefield that give him boost in his quirk's ability.
The guy I'm talking about is currently waving his hand as he combined the fire at two different location then throw the combined fire towards the location of police and sidekicks.
I thought that this guy have fire related quirk at first but what I see next left me exited.
I saw him used the water ball that the hero once throw at him then combined it with fire.
He freaking created a ball of unknown element.
Do you believe it?? A goddamn fire is combined with a freaking water and it's not a ball of steam or something like that but he created an unknown element instead.
It so damn bizarre that I want to questions both physics and logic.
I can even see him dancing around and give a large casualty in our side but thankfully no one died.
'This quirk have many possible uses for me, I want it!!' I greedily thought internally
The said man is still waving his hand like that guy in the orchestra as I stealthy appeared in his back.
I first of course tried to apprehend him so I could copy his quirk later.
For your information Copying a quirk didn't work if the target is dead.
How do I know it? Well… I once tried this before since I want the nitrogen manipulation quirk from a dead villain before and as you expected it, yeah it failed and its miserably at that.
But moving on…
The guy swiftly dodge my attack as he rolled over towards right. He then continued jumping around to gain some distance from me.
"Hey!! What's your quirk?" I tried to gain some valuable information about the quirk to confirm my suspicion.
"Huh?! why will you also scorn me?? Laugh at me??!!" The guy said looking at me angrily and shouting at the end
"Nope~ I just want to see if my guess is right" I said playfully as I run to close our gap
"I will tell you, since you will die by my hands anyway. My quirk is called 'Harmony' it let me combine different attacks at the cost of my stamina.
People always said it's weak and that Im a failure. I will prove them all wrong. They always discouraged me as they know that my quirk is not a stand alone quirk" he shout at me as he tell his backstory.
'This guys quirk is weak for their standards? What the hell are those idiots even thinking?!'
'And why does every villain said their backstory at the hero? wait am I a hero?? haha definitely not… well in my standards that is, but hero is a job here not a title' I mocked myself internally as I continue chasing him
"Hahaha it's perfect that's what I need" I laughed uncontrollably as this quirk will be perfect for me.
I once scanned him before and I first thought that this quirk have a huge drawback but since he explained that it only cost stamina then it's really perfect for me, a stamina monster.
If this proves my prediction I might combine different types of energies and if not I can just improvise later.
And so while thinking and deducing many things in my head, we continued our chasing game, but soon our gap is also slowly closing in.
(3 Minutes Later)
After some minutes of running around I then realized that we both have been wasting so much time and so I used my Conqueror's Haki to make his movements sluggish and catch up to him.
*Fwoosh*
Unfortunately even in the middle of my spiritual pressure he still remained conscious.
The guy's movement like I thought got sluggish but even then he still keep bombarding me with different types of attacks from the surrounding projectiles while I chase him.
Different sizes of Rocks, multiple balls of fire and some blobs of water keep coming towards my direction.
*Boom* *Bang* *Bang* *Booooommm*
Finally after continuous dodging projectiles, I now slowly but surely closed our gap and once I calculate the acceptable range I used 〔Soru〕.
My figure vanished from his sight and once I reappear behind him, I then used and manipulate my space energy to press his body down the ground along with my Conqueror's pressure.
*Bam* *Thud*
Smoke and dust filled the area as he completely fall down face first towards the flat ground.
After the dust settles down I swiftly created a small knife construct and stabbed right through his thighs to prevent him from running once again.
"Arghh" He screamed from agonizing pain but soon he tried his best to look at me with his anger filled gaze.
"Once I escape, I will surely hunt you down" He said as he gritted his teeth from the heavy pressure.
I already hear that many times so I just ignored him and cuffed his arm before completely knocking him down.
Once he is unconscious I then carefully scanned the area to avoid any witnesses.
After knowing and feeling no one close by, I then dragged the unconscious guy in a hidden place as I start to copy his quirk.
'System how do I start copying his quirk?, I didn't really remember since you once said I can't do it with the corpse'
⟦The host just need to hold the head of the target.⟧
'Then?'
⟦Hold for one minute to complete the process.⟧
'One minute is a big problem if I want to copy the quirk of someone without permission. Looks like I really need to knock them out to copy huh' After thinking and minor planning.
I quickly start the process and hold the guys head and copy his quirk. If my guess is right he didn't train this quirk to the peak.
I can feel that if he unlocked all the potential of this quirk then he can control and repel and combine special attacks.
If that happened then only physical moves will be his weakness at that time, good thing I found him early on before he grow stronger.
⟦Copying Complete⟧
As soon as I hear the notification, I suddenly feel a new part of my body. It feel really strange but also natural at the same time.
Ignoring the feeling for now I thought of my next course of action.
'I only have one slot left I need to think what should I fill this in carefully'
Getting what I need, I then manipulate the guy's memories to prevent more later problems.
After the said treatment I zoomed forward to the police officer outside and give my new prisoner then quickly return inside once more.
I keep walking forward then used the observation haki to find gramps location.
My senses spread around the surface but I still can't find him so having no other choice I willed my haki to look below.
It take sometime before my haki search below but it's worth it as I finally found gramps.
'Yes!! Found you'
He is currently in the deep underground area and I can also feel someone strong fighting him.
Maybe just slightly weaker than the Nomu that I fought, so getting worried I immediately go down.
-----
"Fucking stairs I really hate whoever created this shit" I lowly complained because it's been 8 or maybe 10 minutes since I start running down.
Reaching the lowest floor I can see my grandfather currently fighting someone huge and when I say huge then it means he is taller than my grandfather.
If my grandfather is 2 meters in height then the enemy he is fighting is around 5 meters tall with a large muscle filled built.
I continued to watch on how my grandfather fight for my future reference and at the same time, back him up if necessary.
So as I peaked the room's interior I suddenly see him spread both of his arms and fold the nearby space.
Cracks appeared in the air and by using the compressed space he then crushed the huge guy's entire right arm.
"Ughh My ARRMMM!!!"
The whole thing exploded like a watermelon it's like whoosh then bam. Yeah in short the sight looks so surreal at this moment.
'Damn that's awesome, someday I will do that as well.' I fanboyed inside as I see the cool and amazing spectacle that my grandfather pulled off.
In the middle of the fight, you can see the space twist and turn around whenever my grandfather moves.
Every kick, punches and even his backhand chops is enhanced and reinforced by his space energy.
The smooth transition between gramps chops as it hit the enemy's knee and joint, followed by the a solid left hook and a swift roundhouse kick completely breaking the tall man's entire stance.
*Crunch*
Even I feel some pity towards the guy as I heard his boned breaking every hit.
After the big moves that gramps did, he now decide to go for the kill.
How do I know? well… gramps aura started to change from his normal calm aura to a viscous and mind numbling one.
I can even feel my whole body screams at me to run away from here but as soon as that appeared it also disappeared quickly.
Well maybe just in my case because I can still see all of the people here just froze up from fear.
'Looks like gramps knew that I'm here huh'
The violet black particles swiftly gather around gramps until it formed a crystalized claymore in his hands.
Using the large sword, he slashed the huge single handed man with a large cresent blade slash of space energy.
*Fwiiish*
It didn't just cutting the guys left fingers this time, as it also pierced and hit his body.
'Oooff that hurts'
Blood sprayed at my grandfather's body and face as he cut the giant cleanly.
My Gramps is really experienced at fighting, he just toyed with his enemy till he died.
His claymore soon shrunken till it suddenly revealed a pitch black katana construct as he continued butchering the enemies around.
"Holy cow gramps is so much brutal." I said out loud feeling disturbed at the carnage in front of me.
Spilled guts, severed head, brain matters and different other human parts are scattered throughout the area.
I Know that someday I will see something much more worst than this. So seeing the scene I steeled my will as I continue watching my grandfather's fight(?).
'Wait…Is this even a fight??.' I thought internally
After a few minutes my grandfather finished cleaning and mowing the enemies, using haki I also double checked if someone still lived, but unfortunately no one did.
He used the space energy as he compressed the corpses till it completely disappeared.
The place now looks great… well except for the blood, the room looks fine.
My grandfather's control over his strength is superb. Every time he move his attacks looked destructive outside but in reality it's effect is very minimal and controlled.
After everything is done, I approached gramps and jumped around excitedly as I said
"Hey gramps teach me how to fold the space like that in battle. Dad only mentioned it to teleport"
"Bwahaha that guy already teach you some stuffs eii~ fine after this prepare for hell like training" he said while nodding his head proudly
Hearing that cursed word I suddenly felt a chill in my spine.
-----
We(Gramps,Luna) both have roam around and helped the other heroes.
Well I'm the only one who helped the heroes while gramps just killed the enemies instantly.
Few hours later we are done with this place. The heroes apprehended Natasha Spanova and decided to put her in their custody.
At first my grandfather stared at her with a murderous expression but she is lucky as the heroes dragged her away quickly.
If gramps see her before the heroes I'm sure he will torture her before killing.
Just like dad, gramps is also overprotective over his family. How do I know?? His eyes said it all.
⁂Devon Industries⁂
***Alex POV***
"Let's finish this quickly" I said to the heroes and heroines nearby.
Hearing me the police also complied and charge forward without a second thought.
But before entering we first further divide our group into two so we can find our target much faster.
We moved forward and see many disgusting scenes. I can even see many raped victims with both male and female in gender.
*Sigh* They all don't have a light in their eyes, they looked completely giving up on living.
I just shake my head as I see this, way back since I was a kid dad already told me stories about something like this.
So as I grow up my will is strong, but even then… hearing and seeing is different so dad once give me a mission.
In that mission, I saw many people used whatever they all have just to be on top. In that one mission I saw the dark part of humanity.
Shaking my head at my unusual childhood, We further moved inside.
In the middle room we can see prisoners that only have minimal clothes and many deep lashes. They looked like a slave of some sort.
'Damn I really need to finish this quickly and go home before dinner' I gloomily thought as I remembered some of my darker past experiences
After that I didn't pay any more attention to my surroundings and just focus on my objective in this place.
'I will kill that Clark Devon but before that I let him feel despair and helplessness'
While cursing Devon I used my space energy and scan the surrounding area.
The scan is just an extended application of my quirk. It's just like echolocation from bats, but I instead used my energy to find my target.
While moving forward I can see some low life's trying to stop us further.
So what did I do? Of course I killed everyone blocking my way.
I swiped my hand and let the space energy to cut them from afar.
*Whoosh*
It's like an invisible death slash, this move is invented for assassination based on my grandfather's teaching.
*Step*Step*Step*
I walked forward and now I don't have many people with me. We are down to just 8 people in total as the other heroes and heroines fought with the other mobs.
As I face a large door, I can now also feel my target Devon inside the next room.
So after finding the location, I signalled the others to prepare themselves.
Metal man used the spare metal around and create an armor that coat his body.
The others also do their own thing before we walked inside.
They all prepared as the best they could before we all charged forward the next room.
As we walked inside the room I can now see that Devon Fu*ker.
Seeing him in front of the thugs I approached and engaged him in combat.
But at the same time, the other heroes with me also found their own match.
I circled the spear made up of pitch black space particles around my body and take my fighting stance.
I spread legs like a normal horse stance and took the spear to be positioned at my back.
The tip of the spear is also facing the ground.
*Haaa~* After calming my nerves I dashed forward.
His quirk seems to be gold manipulation if I remember the reports given by the spy.
So after he created a staff from gold and dashed forward I didn't got surprised.
I swiftly spun my spear and clashed with his golden staff.
*Bang* *Crack*
After our first clash My spear immediately disintegrated.
"Is that all you lowly baboon??!" Devon sneered
"Looks like I need to kill everyone important to you to know your place, you lowly trash" He said and grinned maliciously.
'Damn looks like it's also much denser than any normal gold'
"Let's see who will die dumbass" I said as I replied to his child grade taunts
In my career in fighting, I met many people who use their mouth to riled up their opponent and take the lead.
Of course I once am also a victim of that but as I grow up, I learned that it's stupid to listen in your enemy's words.
Now back to the fight…
Seeing my spear dissipate I didn't got discouraged as I decided to use the blade in my Metallic arm to fight him in equal ground.
I thrust my metallic blade forward to his torso but even then he still parried my strike and slide it sideways.
*Cling* *Sssssst*
Seeing my move got countered I made a feint using my right arm but I also swiftly sent a low kick to him.
*Bang* *Bam*
He bit my faint and so my kick connected to his foot. His stance got disrupted and using this chance I channeled the space energy towards my blade.
My metallic arm shined in deep violet luster as the energy slowly gather in my blade.
After the energy gather completely I then slashed at Devon's head.
"Heh! Not so fast you baboon"
But before it hit he regained his own balance and swiftly countered my hit with his golden staff.
*BAAAANNG*
As our attacks connected an ear piercing sound and a huge shockwave spread in both of our sides.
The platform that we are standing also broke down to a small craters.
*Fwooooosh* *Crack*
After the hit we both jumped back and recovered our bearings.
'Seems like our strength and close combating skills is almost equal' I internally thought as I once again dashed forward.
Since the energy is still in my arm, I will use this chance to strike and hit this monster in human skin.
"You want a nice smack? Then I will give you brutal smack" Devon taunted as he once again meet my attack.
As my left thrust hit his staff with an amazing speed, a small shockwave once again spread out and destroying our ground.
*Crack*
While I continued to push my blade, Devon suddenly change the shape of his staff into a Scythe and slashed at my back.
*Riiipp*
'Damn' I cursed inside my mind as his attack hit me.
Since it's a surprise attack I can't immediately dodge the sudden shift in weapon.
And so my own carelessness caused my back to have a large and deep cut.
But since I am an experienced fighter I will now adapt to this move and will not let it hit me twice.
"Hahaha, is this all you can do if so I will drag you with me to hell" Devon said mockingly
-----
As he talked to himself I slowly coat my wounded back with space particles and prevent it in bleeding further.
I know I'm in a pinch but since I can now see more and more openings in Devon, I still continued to charge forward.
(A/N: Alex didn't have a body that can adapt like Luna does so he is currently fighting and getting used to the fight using his own combat experience)
"Haaaaaa-"
While moving I also swiftly poured more energy in my blade to strengthen each of my slashes.
Because of my stronger left and right continuous barrage of slashes Devon felt pressured.
*Bam* *Bang* *Bang* *Booom*
"Shit… shit…SHIITT!!" Devon panickingly cursed as he frantically meet and endured each of my blows.
Some of my hit landed in his body but it's just some small cuts and nothing to be proud of.
'*Sigh* Looks like my blade just give his staff some scratches' I internally thought and disappointed in my arm.
Now that I tested my metallic blade's limit. I can now fight seriously this time.
'Just like dad said…I shouldn't have played with food' I internally thought as my aura started to spread out the entire room.
The situation is slightly dire in my teammates so I immediately got serious and switched my weapons.
I slowly retracted my metal blade and created a new and functional spear.
But don't look at this spear as it currently have an intense and special violent energy in the tip of it.
In short this is much denser, stronger and better than my first spear.
"Prepare to die Devon" I said as I once again engaged him on close combat.
His skill in close range combat can be called great but I am an expert myself.
So of course I will not going to give him a chance to take my life life like before.
My movements quickened as I swinged my long spear in upward motion, and as he frantically dodged my first strike.
I immediately used the spear's long handle to hit his face.
*Bam*
My unorthodox move got him surprised and hit him but I immediately followed it up by twisting my body and give my wide 180° swing the momentum from my last attack.
"Ugh, you will pay for this Spencer!!" He screamed as my attack hit him cleanly.
He also took some step backs as the impact made him to.
I of course took the opportunity and thrust my spear forward towards his head to end this whole thing.
But unfortunately he still have the will to continue as he dodge it in the last moment by bending over backwards and also slamming his golden staff towards my chest.
"*Cough* Damn so thats just a bait" I coughed some blood as my figure slide backwards.
'This guy is seriously a great fighter' I silently thought and admire Devon for his martial prowess.
We then continued to backed away and find ourselves a comfortable distance to recover.
We stared at each other's eyes and completely ignored our messy surroundings.
Continuing our staring contest, we suddenly both flicked both of our weapons at the same time and engaged each other at a close combat.
*Cling*Clang*Clang*Boom*
Devon's weapon change from time to time. But like I said before, it doesn't have the impact like he first use it.
He is more skilled than I thought so getting more serious, I let the space energy to enhance my whole body's function.
'〔Void Mode〕' I lowly muttered and used my last trump card
As the space energy surged inside my body, my hair got slightly wavy and now have a dark violet sheen over it unlike my normal white one.
Soon slowly but surely the energy settle down and now my whole figure emits a deep purple smokes all over my body.
The smoke also slowly condensed into a beautiful and prestine armor that not only made me looked cool but also enhance my overall strength and agility.
(A/N: Yeah, yeah I know, I will post his armor's picture here later)
Once the rampant energy calmed down I swiftly stabbed my spear in his thigh with my enhanced speed.
But because of suddenness of it, Devon couldn't dodge the attack but unfortunately he still parried it somewhat.
'Something is strange with this guy' I silently said in my mind
-----
*Cling*Clang*Bang*Boom*Cling*
We are both breathing heavily now as our fight continued for more than 15 minutes now.
His golden weapon is bending in an impossible way as he controlled the gold in his every attacks making it difficult for me to predict.
So I have no other choice but to improvise mid-fight to keep up. I create another spear to attack while the other is for defending.
"Huff…Huff…" Panting heavily I felt something is off with Devon.
If I calculated correctly I am now at least 4-5 times more powerful than our first exchange but I wonder how… how could he still keep up with me??.
I already enhanced myself multiple times but even then he can still somewhat fight me evenly making it strange for me.
He also once landed a clean hit in my back before and now it's bleeding heavily again as my continuous energy consumption left it unoccupied.
Having no other choice I need to finish with my last technique and after this I really need to find a proper medic.
*Haaaaaa-*
After taking a deep breath I put half of my attention as I compressed the space surrounding him to stop his movements for a while.
*Bliiipp* *Bllooop*
The surrounding area is now filled with multiple spacial ripples that pulled Devon's figure towards the Earth's center.
Then I used the other half of concentration I left to combined the two chaotic spears together then focused the unstable energy towards its tip.
It takes a while as the chaotic energies keep repelling each other but because of the situations intense pressure, I relentlessly mixed the two together.
*Tsttt* *Trrsst*
Soon, the spear combined but halfway through the spear mixing, it suddenly repelled each other strongly.
I am afraid since the abomination that I created might explode in my face.
So having no choice I decided to gamble in this one as I threw the half baked spear using my last strength left towards the space locked Devon's figure
*Tsssstttt*
The spear looked abnormal as it only have one tip but two separate handles.
But even then it still fly forward without hindrance and then finally explode as it hit the area near Devon's location.
*BBOOOOOOOMMMM!!!*
That spear is highly unstable because of imperfect combination of space but overall it's still a nice long ranged attack.
*Fwooooosh*
Strong wind pressure spread all over the room making everyone other than myself to be unconscious.
But as soon as the dust settles down all I can see is a deep and large circular hole in the area where I tossed the spear.
My face paled as I recalled that the cause of this almost explode right in front of my face.
"*Sigh* I wonder if he ever survived that thing" I lowly muttered as I once again scanned the area.
I checked the hole out using my leftover space energy to know if he survived.
But in the end all I can only see is his burned head covered in pure gold as a leftover while his body is now completely disintegrated.
After searching I teleported towards outside to treat my injuries...
***Outside the Devon Industries***
"Medic quick!!" I screamed to inform them and treat me instantly.
After a few patching and a little blood transfusion my condition returned to normal.
'Fuck!!This is bad… extremely bad damnit I'm late for dinner!!'
(Few Hours Later)
***3rd POV***
Many enemies perished and many heroes are either injured or crippled and now recovering.
Some of the captured people is now being detained by the police but both of the operation is completed successfully.
The operatives that investigate later announced Clark Devon's death as they soon found his severed head.
Meanwhile Natasha Spanova is now being detained in the prison with heavy and multiple charges.
The news reporters of course immediately come to know what happened and take the juicy news.
The reporters after sometime of their own investigation are completely satisfied and return to their respective station happily.
But the detained prisoners are now being interrogated by the police and soon the court will give their respective verdict.
As the whole chaos occurred the main reason of all this event is back at their own mansion while completely relaxing.
