Chapter 82: Two Heroes Arc (6)

~Third POV~

[Nighttime, I-Island, Central Tower]

Waiting within the Central Tower Ren wore a suit that was simply a two-piece black suit with the sleeves normally rolled up, complete with black leather shoes and a white tie and handkerchief in the breast pocket along with black pants to compliment the outfit.

Of course, he wore his Morphing Band and Full Gauntlet on its wristband mode. Entering the room where his friends were located, his eyes wandered to his friends, apologizing in a sheepish tone, "Sorry about that, you guys – Uh, where is everybody?"

Ren appeared only to see Denki, Shinso, Ida, and Shoto waiting asking in confusion. Ida with his arms crossed spoke stoically, "They're not here yet. Does a proper meeting time mean nothing to you people?"

*Thud*

Just in time, the doors opened to reveal Ochaco wearing a pink frilly dress, rubbing the back of her head in a nervous tone, "Sorry I'm late. It took me a while to get ready."

Soon, when Ochaco appeared, Momo and Jiro in their dresses appeared. Momo, wearing a beautiful green dress, commented in an embarrassed tone, "Apologies for the tardiness. Jiro's feeling shy."

Jiro hid in her shadow in a cute dress with a slight blush lining her face as she came out, tugging on her earphone jacks in a shy tone, "This is fancier than anything I've ever worn before. It feels like a costume."

Denki had to respond with a thumbs up in a nonchalant tone about her appearance, "I'm just glad you're not in a t-shirt."

Shinso took a step back, shaking his head from the fool in a stoic tone as the earphone jack edges closer, "Sigh… you really need to learn to shut up about commenting on a lady's appearance."

*Poke*

Denki soon screamed, having his ears filled with a high-pitched sound, causing vibrations in his ear canal as Jiro stoically said, "Shut up."

Denki, having been inflicted the worst sound in his ears, asked pitifully at Jiro in a defeated tone, "Why would you do that? It was a compliment."

She merely turned her head muttering in a stern tone, "No it wasn't."

Ochaco soon gets closer to Ren with a light blush on her face as she comments on his attire in a nervous tone, "This is my first time in formal wear. I just borrowed something from Yaoyorozu. And Ren… you look good in a suit."

With a sly smile, Ren commented on Ochaco's beauty and the other girls in a chill tone, genuinely complimenting them, "Thank you, Ochaco. That outfit looks good on you. As do the others complimenting your beauty and cuteness."

Jiro had a line of blush on her face with Momo smiling happily with a tint of red on hers. And Ochaco's face went beat red as she flailed her arms in an excited tone, "Oh, Ren, stop – you don't have to flatter me so much."

Ida seeing the situation is going a bit off the rails stoically said in his blue suit, "Contain yourself!"

*Thud*

Soon all eyes now turned to the final members showing Mina, Toga, and Melissa each stunning beauty. Toga wearing a red dress and Mina a cute pink dress.

Melissa wearing her formal look is her hair in a high ponytail that is tied with a large black bow with bangs swept back underneath a red headband, while her face-framing is left loose. She has golden earrings which hang from her earlobes and she doesn't wear her glasses. She wears a strapless dress with a sweetheart neckline.

The upper half of the dress is a deep blue, while the skirt is a pale powder blue. Separating the two segments is a black cloth belt with a large white rose that sits slightly to her left, covering where the material is tied. The belt matches the black ruffles underneath her knee-length skirt. On her feet, she wears white heels with straps and an open toe. Her toenails are painted a shade of coral pink, the same as her fingernails and lips.

Gazing upon those 3 Melissa soon spoke up in an embarrassed tone apologizing for being late, "Oh, good, I thought I was gonna miss you guys. Let's get downstairs to the party!"

Ren couldn't help himself as he admired their beauty as he told them in an honest tone, "You all look beautiful this fine night."

Toga grinned taking the compliment as Mina edged closer with a cheeky grin eyeing Ren's suit that showed his muscles in an excited tone, "Aw… thanks for the compliment big guy. But tell me are those muscles real or just for show big guy?"

Knowing her playful demeanor, Ren replied cheekily, making a mocking pose, giving Mina permission in a playful tone, "Oh? These aren't for show; check out these guns! I can guarantee them they are real. Have a feel if you don't believe me?"

Taking up on the offer, Mina pinched his muscles, taking advantage of her eyes blinking, somewhat surprised at how durable in a surprised tone, "Sure they can't be – wow, these are some thicc muscles. Eh? Get it?"

Playing with her eyebrows, Ren rolled his eyes at Mina's wordplay as Ida stoically said, "Mina, that's inappropriate!"

Mina stopped and playfully stuck her tongue out childishly as Melissa soon coughed, getting the attention of everyone, "Ahem! Now everyone, how about we go to the reception hall on the 2nd floor. Everything should be ready soon come on!"

Everyone soon followed to their destination with Ren looking at the outside with a single thought as the events of Two Heroes began, 'Whew… it's time to game on.'

[I-Island, Central Tower – 2nd Floor – Reception Hall]

With the events happening from behind the scenes, the Reception Hall on the 2nd Floor began with the announcer speaking in a happy tone, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to I-Expo's opening night reception. We at I-Island hope you enjoy yourselves. Now I wonder if we can get All Might, the number 1 hero up here. He's visiting from Japan. Wouldn't you like to hear him say a few words? Come on. Maybe around of applause would help."

*Clap*

*Clap*

Everyone, citizen and hero alike, began to clap as All Might stood there in his Hero Costume, holding a martini, grinning happily for all to see. David soon gets closer to his friend as the announcer asks in an excited tone, "Please, join us on the stage!"

All Might turned to his friend in a friendly tone and asked, with the surprise stunt being called out like this, "Really, Dave? Could've warned me."

David sheepishly replied to the situation, giving his explanation to All Might, "This was bound to happen once they found out you were in town."

All Might merely laugh it off, understanding as he heads towards the stage, muttering to him, "You owe me one."

Going up stage All Might took the microphone as he began to announce to the people present in a loud tone with a smile on his face, "Thank you for inviting me. It's truly a pleasure to be here. Formal speeches aren't my thing – "

*BEEP*

But All Might was soon interrupted by the emergency screen appearing behind him as an announcement was made for all to hear throughout I-Island, stopping anyone in their tracks from listening with urgency, "This is an announcement from the I-Island security system. We have received a report that an explosive device was discovered somewhere on the I-Expo grounds. I-Island will now be in high alert mode. Your safety is our top priority. Residents and tourists should return to their lodgings… Anyone remaining on the street after 10 minutes will violate the law. As a precautionary measure, most of the main island buildings will be sealed off. I repeat we have received a report…"

*Thud*

As everyone was listening to the announcement the door opened to reveal a group of armed mercenaries entered pointing their guns causing the people to be frightened and alarmed.

The heroes were alarmed and were about to react but couldn't with the gunmen pointing their firearms at the citizens. Another door opened to reveal Wolfram's crew, with Wolfram himself entering with a smug grin on his face, speaking in a cold tone, "In case you haven't caught on, the security system is under our control now. I know we've got a lot of heroes in here, but if you decide to make a scene…"

*Snap*

One of his crew members controlling the Central Tower I-Island Security Measures with a snap of his finger showed a video of I-Island Security Bots with alarmed citizens as Wolfram continued explaining, "… I'll make sure the security sentries think the good people they've got in their sights are dangerous criminals. So, I'd play nice. Because everyone on this island is my hostage. Naturally, that includes all of you. Do it."

*Click*

*Wmp*

Appearing under the floor, holes opened, shooting digital blue light construct whips around the heroes as a researcher exclaimed, alarmed, "The emergency restraining devices!"

*Bang*

A gunshot rang out, stopping everyone from moving. The source came from Wolfram's pistol as he spoke, getting closer to All Might in a cold tone, "Don't move. If you take so much as a step, I'll kill everyone in this room."

All Might losing his smile snarled disdainfully at him, "Villain."

*Smack*

Wolfram, kicking All Might down restrained, released a smirk of his own as he spoke in a confident tone, "There's a good boy. You're going to follow All Might's lead and do whatever I say, right?"

All Might gazed at the crowd, looking at David as he shook his head and thought in a serious tone, 'Toshi. You have no choice but to listen to them. Don't worry. I'll make sure everyone is safe. Don't make a move.'

[I-Island, Central Tower 3rd Floor – Above the Reception Room]

Everyone from Ren's group took the emergency stairs down to the Reception Room to meet up with everyone down below. They first noticed the announcement as they were forced to walk down when the power to the elevator was down, along with the buildings being closed.

Next, Ren checked his phone, noticing the services and internet were down, alarming his classmates much to their confusion. But just when they reached the 3rd floor above the reception room, they all froze, hearing a gunshot, turning their heads down, and seeing the scene unfold before them.

They quickly moved their bodies away from the situation, with Jiro listening intently to the situation, informing the group in a frightened tone, "Everyone… I'm listening to what's going on, but… it's not anything good."

They all gulped hearing the news, with Ren remaining calm as he asked calmly of the situation occurring down below them in a light whisper, "Jiro, how bad we're talking here? Give us the info of what's happening…"

She nodded her head, informing the group what was happening down below them using her Quirk to listen to the events happening below them…

[I-Island, Central Tower – 2nd Floor – Reception Hall]

*Click*

The Gunmen holding their guns took charge of guarding the hostages as Wolfram continued to speak confidently, "Don't worry. If ya stay quiet, there's no reason to hurt anyone. We plan to release you safely when the time is right."

One of the pro heroes named Mr. Plastic asked in a defiant tone, "What are you criminals after?"

*BAM*

Wolfram kicked Mr. Plastic in the face as he spoke in an annoyed tone, looking down at him as the hero groaned in pain, "Do you know how to listen? Stay down."

*Ring*

Hearing the phone ring, he answered his crew that was in the control room in a neutral tone, then looked at Sam, "What's up? Yeah, I got it. Hey, Tubby. Are you a researcher here? Take this one."

Sam looked 'alarmed' that Wolfram captured him as David Shield stood up, moving towards Wolfram, looking 'worried' in a pleading tone, "Stop it. That man is my assistant. What do you plan on doing to him?"

Wolfram turned to look at David as he spoke in a neutral tone, going along with their plans to capture him too, "Hm? Ah. The famous David Shield. Bring him, too. And if you refuse, then somewhere on this island, you'll hear a pretty little blonde girl scream."

David knew he referred to in a stoic tone, gritting his teeth, "All right. Lead the way."

All Might could only do was see that his friend was captured as he tried to think of different ways to escape in a concerned tone, 'Dave. I must subdue these villains and get the system back online. I must find a way. Because I am here. The Symbol of Peace. What? Young Yuki?'

Tilting his head from above, Ren uses his Morphing Band to send Morse code, turning the flashlight on and off. Ren made gestures to show they were able to speak, with All Might speaking in whispers, "Hope you can hear me. Some villains have taken the tower. They have control of the security system, and everyone on this island is now being held hostage. That includes the heroes who are at this party. It's dangerous. Get away from here as soon as you can."

The info was soon relayed to the news of Ren's group through Jiro…
