Chapter 45 Gentle Criminal & La Brava vs. NightSkull

Sitting in front of the collapsed building where the pseudo-criminal couple lived, I had a little discussion with myself.

Yuuji A: Shall we knock on the door or wait?

A straw hat-wearing Yuuji said.

Yuuji B: touch? You're an idiot. Let's break the window!

I comment on one with a mustache.

Yuuji C: Let's freeze the whole damn Building~!

roared another with dark glasses while licking a knife.

Yuuji D: And if we better calm down~ we're going to kill them anyway~

Reasoned the one who wore a haloha shirt.

Yuuji E: Gentlemen… We're supposed to be the good guys!

Shouted a Yuuji who wore reflective glasses and folded his hands like a certain Father Evangelist of the Year.

Yuuji A~D: Are we the good guys???

They screamed in amazement.

Yuji E: Yes! We're the good guys, dammit!

He cursed and hit the table with his fist.

Yuuji A: Right…we are heroes~

The straw hat agreed.

Yuuji B: Right, right~

Consented the mustache.

Yuuji D: But how do we get in ~?

I ask the Lodge.

Yuuji C: Let's tap and say Pizza~!

The one with dark glasses suggested sticking the knife into the table.

Yuuji A~E: Yeah~!

They all nodded showing a cruel smile on their faces.

***

--Okay let's go with that~

Having found the apartment with Haiki, I calmly walked towards the door with a slight smile under my helmet, while holding an empty pizza box. Should I buy one after this?

*Knock Knock knock*

--Wait~

***

Inside the apartment, a middle-aged man with slicked-back gray hair and a well-groomed mustache was seriously looking at a laptop screen.

--La Brava...

A petite girl with big eyes and red hair in two pigtails almost as long as her, answered the man's call.

--Yes, Mr.Gentle~?

--Why doesn't the visit counter go up?

Feeling discouraged the man dropped his head causing some of his hair to fall over his face.

--It's just that people don't know how wonderful you are, my Mr. Gentle~

--You're right La Brava, that's why we have to teach them!

--Yes, Mr.Gentle~!

*Knock Knock knock*

--Visits?

--It must be the landlord or a door-to-door salesman...

--I'll take care of you, my Mr. Gentle~

With a nod the girl ran to the door with a slight frown, they didn't have much money and could barely afford to rent this place, they didn't have room for a vendor.

--Wait~

The girl put her gloved hand on the knob and was greeted by a curious and terrifying sight.

--Skull~Pizza~!

***

--Skull~Pizza~!

The man said while holding a pizza box, La Brava recognized the man in front of her and could barely help but faint, the man on the other side of the door is the homicidal vigilante who caused a stir throughout the place a few months ago, black armor, White case with NightSkull skull theme.

*BLAM*

Closing the door in the face of the terrifying character, La Brava could not gesticulate words and just ran towards her partner and beloved Gentle Criminal.

--Gg-gentle! We-we-got-you!

*BOOOOOM*

With a slight rumble the front door was kicked and destroyed along with the wall that contained it, from among the dust a human silhouette emerged, speaking with a voice full of mockery and disdain.

--Good afternoon~ Mr. Gentle Criminal and La Brava-chan~

-- Watchman NightSkull?!

--In Person~ now~... Will they give up by hook or by crook~?

--It's an honor to enter the sight of the most feared vigilante after Steins... but I still can't be defeated. I still have to record my name in history!

Gentle yelled as he adjusted his hairstyle and the Brava hid on his back.

--Engrave your name in history? Is Gentle-san taking his medication?

--Don't make fun of Gentle!

The little girl leapt to defend her lover, fury vehement in her eyes.

--Hahahaha~ a good girl you have there Gentle~ but... Is your loli Legal? I don't want to have to hand you over to FBI-san~?

--I'm 22 years old bastard!

--Oh~ sorry~ let's forget the FBI then~

--La Brava… start recording.

--Gentle!

I don't think we can avoid this fight...

--Yes, gentleman!

The girl took out a video camera and started recording.

***

--Good afternoon everyone! Today I, Gentle Criminal will have to fight against this person!

La Brava pointed the camera at me, it might be her last video so why not play a little with this pair of idiots?

--Hello~ Internet People~! I am NightSkull~!

I waved to the camera, as Gentle continued his narration.

--The Homicidal vigilante, NightSkull has come to capture me.

--Mr. Gentle Criminal~ I think the preambles are over~

--Are you very sure of winning?

--Any last words~?

I cracked my neck while stretching out my arms.

--I AM A GENTLE CRIMINAL!

*BLAAAAAAAM*

Before he could do anything I kicked the mustachioed clown in the chest sending him flying through the wall, his Quirk "Elasticity" is a pain in the ass but he has to activate it, as long as I hit him before he's just a normal old man (Oji-san) fit.

--Gentle!

--Keep recording the Brava...

Coming out of the rubble a battered and disheveled Gentle looked at me with serious eyes.

--Yes...Gentle...

--You're tougher than you seem~

--I think I have to get serious LA BRAVA!

--HAI!

A pink light covered Gentle making him look like a Saiyan warrior as La Brava dropped to the ground while holding the camera tightly.

--Our fans, you must already know this but I'll explain it again- GUAHH !!!

Dodge the flexible air screen and plant a clean right upper cut to the chin along with a dry jab to the liver with the left.

--Remember kids~ only fools wait for the enemy to finish their transformation~

I spoke to the trembling La Brava, while a trembling but still Power-Up Gentle stared at me, wiping the blood from his mouth.

--Lover Mode! This is the power that unites me and La Brava… don't underestimate us Watchmen.

--Lover Mode, huh? The love of a loli is an incredible power but…

I charged at Gentle who had already set up his bounce traps, too bad I can see them clearly.

-- Onee -sans and Widow Milfs rule~!!!

Without the protection of his springboards, even the super Gentle is just an Oji-san on steroids.

*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA*ORA!*

After a combo filled with nothing but unsportsmanlike violence, a battered Gentle was still barely holding his own.

--H-how d-did you avoid my rebounds?

Seeing his eyes still serious, I can only take off my hat, you are tenacious old man, I admit it.

--Since you ask~ and as a special occasion for your channel~ I'll tell you~

The brava pointed the camera at me, even though she's crying she still keeps the camera focused, damn she's a good girl.

--My Quirk~ is simple and "I can See Very Well", which allows me to fight very well~ simple don't you think?

--HAhaha~ I see…you're a visual type.

--Exactly~ my eyesight is special and I trained my body to keep up with it~ Gentle Criminal I admit that your Quirk is quite annoying and useful, with good training you would be both a great hero and villain but you lack conviction as a villain~

I walked to the side and took a chair from among the rubble of the apartment and sat down.

--A villain without blood on his hands, is nothing more than a bore. A hero without the conviction to die is just an imbecile, both, heroes or villains, whatever your choice, you must have the necessary conviction to move on... I don't know how many of your fans have gone abroad but... I'll take the liberty of clarify it here.

Gentle looked at me doubtfully while La Brava helped him up.

--Ladies and Gentlemen of the internet, the world is on fire, Japan is just the tip of the Iceberg, the jewel in the crown, other countries are swimming in rivers of blood and building on mountains of bodies, Heroes, Villains, are only qualifiers In the end, they are only people with the capacity and conviction necessary to take their gifts and do something with them.

I laughed, and continued... Gentle seemed to have understood something and was lying calmly on the ground next to the brava, recording.

--In this super human society, everyone has power but why only some take the "step" to the front to protect or destroy everything that surrounds us? The answer is simple "CONVICTION", my conviction led me to be a vigilante, well that and I needed money~ but instead of robbing the innocent like all those fifth-rate jerks, I chose to hunt down the criminals, break their limbs, their lives and take their money. Although it's not heroic, I still impart some justice~ In evil there is good, and in good there is evil... the important thing is to maintain balance and preserve this illusory peace.

Getting up from the chair I walked towards the camera.

--Ladies and gentlemen of the Internet, listen to me well~

I took the camera from La Brava's hands and brought it closer to my face.

--The gates of Hell will open at any moment, Many Angels will dye their wings black, others will fall to the ground and some will give up their feathers. To the chicks I say, abandon soft innocence, blacken your heart, kindness alone will not bring salvation, raise your Weapons and curse the gods... Armageddon is coming, evil will rise... this is not a threat, it is just a warning, this fight will not be won with just a few soldiers, the enemy is strong and well prepared, more than 100,000 black wings await judgment day.

I put the camera on the table and moved away a bit to give a better image.

--I call on the heroes, the vigilantes, the police, the army, the government and all those who have the "Conviction" to protect this delicate peace, prepare their weapons for the day of judgment, because evil will looms… the capture of All For One is not the end, it's just the prologue.

I bowed and dropped my shoulders.

"NightSkull, did you come alone to record that message?"

Gentle looked at me doubtfully while being healed by the Brava.

--Yes and no~ You said that you would infiltrate the uA, correct?

I asked while letting out a strong thirst for blood.

--Yes, I said it.

--Forget about it, if you don't want me to cut both of their throats right now.

The two lovers turned as white as paper, well it makes sense I swept the floor and walls with Gentle so they either have a lot of options.

--Okay... I won't enter the UA

--Good decision, by the way... Gentle-san you should leave the country, I know that deep down you wanted to be a hero, right? Go to Europe, there are schools for seniors, you could get your license, your Quirk has potential and you don't think it's a waste that Brava is just your ***Tube manager when she could easily hack a bank... just saying~

I finished my words and left the villainous couple in the fairly demolished apartment.

***

I returned to UA without problems or scolding, they just sentenced me to be Midnight's assistant for three more days, which doesn't bother me.
