The only source of light in this night was the full moon.
*scrch* *scrch*
The sound of feet steeping on the grass filled the forest. Lee and Yanagi Reiko were walking aside each other. They didn't expect that their surprising mating would, may, be interrupted by a sudden unwanted visit.
"I hope this is just a prank."
"Yeah, me too." Lee frowned. Although Star Platinum was sucking the gas, each time they approached an area with the air being colourful, Lee was thinking about Itsuka's safety.
Star Platinum was floating up while using his super vision to see. Lee had given him command to search for his girlfriend, or anything suspicious.
"Lee." Reiko glanced left and right before saying, "There are shockwaves, battle shockwaves around."
Lee furrowed his eyebrows and replied. "Sounds like it's not a prank."
'Anyway. A league of villains without Nomu are nothing but weaklings.' Lee thought. 'However. If there is a strong party, their target would be me. Phew. They don't know about the time stop. It's good to get rid of them, once and for all.'
"Let's go." Lee looked up. Star Platinum pointed with his finger in the eight o'clock direction, with his thumb, meaning he saw someone who is not related to their group.
Reiko stayed close to Lee, who asked her to stay near him for her safety.
Although this situation happened suddenly and she felt anxious, Lee was giving her a strong feeling of security, so she didn't let go of his side and jogged with him.
After running, crossing some trees, the feeling of the shockwaves which Reiko had been feeling earlier, became more intense.
This zone that they arrived at was free from the gas. However, there were many destruction marks, holes on the ground, on the trees, and the shockwaves here became stronger.
"Kehehehe…" a laugh echoed in their ears.
Reiko and Lee stopped jogging, as they seemed to reach a person here, who had a sadistic laugh.
"Destruction." He let a moan in pleasure as the silhouette punched the ground. The silhouette was very bulky and muscular. "I was a bit bored from waiting. Now, I can enjoy some kill."
Reiko lowered her head slightly, and Lee stared forward.
"He seems to be out of his mind."
"Yep."
Lee nodded in Reiko's remark as he observed the figure that was approaching him. Lee's blue eyes didn't seems to be bothered by the darkness of the night and he could make out the shape.
It was a tall man. Very muscular, and he had a pale blonde hair. If you look at his hair style, it looks very similar to Bakugo's, explosive and messy. But, as it seems, one of his eyes was covered. He had only one eye, as he seemed to lost the other.
Reiko looked around. This one eyed blonde, looking at the destruction he left, she could tell that he was strong.
The buffy muscular man scanned the two teenagers in front of him, as his lips curled up into a smirk, a creepy one.
"Finally, someone." He exclaimed in amusement.
Reiko was about to say something, but Lee was faster.
"If you are desperate, I'll have you to know in advance." Lee scoffed at the guy, with his usual sarcasm. "I'm not interested, neither she is. So, we are not that someone you're looking for."
Reiko lowered her head. Despite the situation being serious, Lee didn't forget to make such comment. She raised her head and stared at the muscular man.
She said, "Yes. We are not the 'someone,' you are looking for.'
"Nowadays, the darning kids."
He said.
The man was Muscular, giving his villain name.
He was someone who was so strong, with his Quirk that allowed him to have a monstrous power.
Countless heroes and civilians died on his hand, just for the sake of his personal pleasure.
He was such scary killer.
Now, a couple teenagers are mocking him.
"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Muscular, and I enjoy killing people." Muscular smirked and looked at Lee's direction. "Now, I wonder, are you the amazing person as they claim you, Angel Lee. If so, try to resist and stay in this world long enough, so your kill feel worthy. Kehehehe."
"All me to introduce myself. My name is Lee, and I enjoy beating your ass." Lee let a sigh looking at the big guy, who was more than two meters.
Muscular extended his hand, flesh was getting out of his skin, growing, and wrapping his arm, making more layers of muscles wrap his arm and leg bellow.
"Are you alone?" Lee asked. He had to make sure to know who he is dealing with. Muscular seemed to be a maniac who doesn't use his mind so often, so he thought of making him spill the information.
"I'm here to fight you alone." Muscular took one step forward. "No one will take that pleasure from me."
Lee reached his pocket, picked up a phone and threw it to Reiko. "Call the teachers. Their number in the emergency list."
"Mm…" Reiko's finger caressed the screen."What's the password?"
"Ahem." Lee turned his head. 'I'll change it later.'
"1197"
"Hey, don't ignore me."
He kicked with his leg, and cracks spread on the ground.
With a strong dash, Muscular turned into a blur.
However, his momentum was stopped by something invisible.
Once he hit it, strong winds surged in every direction from the power of the impact.
Muscular couldn't make one more step, as Star Platinum was holding him from approaching further.
"Lee." Reiko called all of the sudden.
"I'm busy," Lee said. He looked at Muscular and said. "For a big guy like you, I wonder, who the smart guy that would hire you is."
"You mom is calling, what should I do." Reiko asked, interrupting Lee and showing him the screen.
"Tell her that I am at the… the bathroom, and I forgot my phone at your room."
"What if she asked what you were doing in my room?" Reiko asked as if obvious. She saw that Lee was controlling the situation, so she didn't mind chatting.
"Tell her that…" Lee suddenly activated his brain power. "You're Itsuka's roommate, and I had visited her."
Reiko flinched but still nodded.
Muscular didn't seems to like how Reiko was interrupting his fun, making this battle look dull.
He stopped punching, twisted his leg, and his figure blurred. He turned all of the way, and dashed toward Reiko.
"Shut up, you are annoying!" He lifted his fist and was about to punch her.
However, in instant, he found himself standing at his previous spot, and Lee was in front of him, staring at Muscular's eyes.
"Hey! What's the!"
Muscular shook his head and clapped with his hands on his own face.
He, again, wrapped his legs with more muscles. Swiftly, he turned into a blur, took a linear path and dashed toward Reiko, who didn't pick up the call but kept staring at him.
Reiko vanished from her place, Lee was still in front of him, 5 meters away.
Muscular didn't know why was he in his previous spot again. Lee didn't move from his place, neither Reiko. So, why the hell the situation went back like this.
"What in the hell?" Muscular had a smile on his face, yet a cold sweat drop on his face. Did someone teleport him here while Lee was just looking at him.
"I'll ask you nicely one more time." Lee growled, his eyes sharp. "Why are you here? Are you alone, or you have a gang?"
"And why does that matter." More muscles started to wrap Muscular's arms.
"So I can know how much time I'm going to waste on you."
"Well, waste as much as you want of time, IN HELL."
He raised his arms, joined his hands, before slamming toward the ground. With his power, he would surely destroy the area around. Reiko would definitely sink in the cracking down.
"You're just a waste of time." Lee had enough. "I won't waste a second on you."
He flicked his fingers, stopping the time, and looking at Muscular. Star Platinum gave him a very strong, lethal, yet not deadly strike, on his chest, so he may save some life ripples from him.
The time started flowing again and Muscular flew back, crushing some trees on his way before falling.
Lee didn't expect to see this.
Muscular's body was slowly dissolving into what looked like a clay.
"Kehehehe… I'm just a doppelganger." Muscular laughed as his body was dissolving. "Be prepared. I'll come back soon. You'll see the original's power. The league of the villain is nothing compared to me. Keheheh. I'll kill you and that bit–."
Before he could complete his words, a rock, shaped like spear, flew and pierced his eye. That moment, Muscular's doppelganger dissolved completely.
"He's seriously annoying." Reiko said, scoffing at the remaining clay, and showing her disgust that she on had on Muscualr. She then threw the phone to Lee, who caught it.
Lee scratched his chin slightly with his index.
"I sent a letter to the teachers. Your mom says that she didn't expect less, and told you not to forget to buy, ahem, I won't say that." Reiko stared at Lee. "Now, what to do?"
He thought about Muscular's last words. He's a doppelganger, obviously made by someone else's Quirk, so there is an original one, not to mention that he had said that the league of the villains was here.
Lee looked around, not happy that he got so little information.
As it seems, they are here.
They should leave some tracks on their way, right?
Lee nodded with his head. He channelled Hamon to his head. It's time to use the brain, to its potentials, as a detective.
"This is Big Brain's time," Lee said, channelling Hamon to a certain parts in his brain.
'What in the…' Reiko was wondering what that was supposed to mean. Big Brain time… is this a meme.
