Chapter 5: Confrontation in the Wilderness

Endeavor, Hawks, Best Jeanist, and several other heroes made their way through the dense forest, the remnants of the earlier destruction evident in the upturned earth and scorched trees. The air was thick with the smell of charred wood and the faint scent of smoke. They had been following the trail of devastation, piecing together clues that led them to the edge of the forest.

As they approached, Hawks glanced at Endeavor. "You sure we can apprehend him? He seems strong."

Endeavor snorted, his flames flickering more intensely. "You don't believe in my capabilities?"

Hawks smiled, his eyes sharp. "Just making sure we're prepared. This isn't an ordinary quirk user."

"We'll handle it," Endeavor replied with confidence. "Let's go."

They emerged into a clearing and saw him. A towering figure, even larger than All Might, stood at the edge of the forest, watching the sunset. His Armor glinted in the fading light, and the two enormous swords strapped to his back looked formidable. His red hair flowed like a mane, giving him an almost regal appearance.

"There he is," Endeavor muttered, his eyes narrowing as he took in the sight of Radahn.

"Holy Shit , He's a giant!"- another hero said.

Radahn sensed their presence but remained silent, letting them approach. The air around him seemed to hum with raw power, a testament to his immense strength.

"Who are you?" Endeavor called out, his voice strong and authoritative. "And what are you doing here?"

Radahn remained silent, his gaze fixed on the horizon, watching the last rays of the setting sun.

Best Jeanist interjected, his tone measured and calm. "We understand you might have a reason for being here, but the destruction caused has raised concerns. We need to know what your intentions are."

Before Hawks could speak, Endeavor cut in, his patience wearing thin. "You coming or not? We will use force otherwise."

Hawks stepped forward, his wings spreading slightly as he prepared for any sudden movements. "We're heroes" he said, his tone more diplomatic. "

We're here to find out what caused the recent seismic activity. Was it you?"

Radahn finally spoke, his voice deep and resonant. "Yes, it was me. And who are you to question my actions?"

Endeavor's flames flared up in response, his temper rising. "We're the ones who maintain order here. If you're causing destruction, we have every right to question you."

Radahn turned to face them fully, his eyes meeting Endeavor's fiery gaze.

"I have no quarrel with you," he said calmly.

"But if you seek to challenge me, know that I will not hold back." 

"Whats your name and what is your purpose of coming here?" Hawks said decisively .

"I go by the name Starscourge Radahn and for my purpose I've no reason to tell you"

The tension in the air was palpable, each side ready for a potential clash. The heroes knew they were facing someone far beyond the ordinary, and Radahn, though confident in his power, was prepared for whatever came next.

Endeavor's eyes narrowed, his fiery temper flaring even more. "Jeanist, bind him. Hawks, try to slow his movements. I can see that he is not willing to come with us."

Hawks sighed and said, "Guys, let's do it. And for the others, give me cover."

Endeavor added, "I'll aim for the final attack to knock him unconscious."

The heroes prepared for their coordinated assault, each ready to play their part in subduing the powerful figure before them. Radahn stood motionless, his massive frame seemingly unfazed by the heroes' preparations. His gaze remained fixed on the horizon, giving no indication of fear or concern.

Jeanist moved first, strands of reinforced denim shooting out to entangle Radahn's limbs. The fabric wrapped around his arms and legs, but Radahn barely flinched. Instead, he seemed to brace himself, ready to tank whatever came his way.

Hawks took to the air, his wings beating rapidly as he sent a flurry of feather blades towards Radahn, aiming to restrict his movements further. The blades struck Radahn's Armor with sharp, metallic sounds, but none penetrated. Radahn's calm demeanour didn't change.

Endeavor scoffed, flames flickering more intensely around his body. "This guy thinks he can stand our attacks with just his Armor? I think after his wide area attack, he must be out of stamina," he muttered, his voice dripping with disdain.

Jeanist's threads tightened, trying to immobilize Radahn, but he didn't budge. Hawks, still airborne, watched carefully for any sign of weakness. "He's not even trying to defend himself," Hawks observed, his brows furrowing in concern.

Endeavor's flames roared to life, casting a fierce glow around him. "Fine, if he wants to test his endurance, let's see how long he can last," he declared. "Prepare yourselves. I'm going in for the knockout."

Endeavor looked to the Water Hose duo, who stood ready nearby. "You guys with water quirks, make sure the fire doesn't spread."

They nodded in response.

The other heroes moved to provide cover, ensuring that Radahn couldn't escape the combined onslaught. Radahn's eyes shifted slightly.

Endeavor charged forward, flames trailing behind him as he prepared his attack. "You can't just stand there and expect to win and don't get angry after this" he shouted, leaping into the air.

His fist, engulfed in blazing fire, aimed straight for Radahn's towering figure.

"Prominence Burn!" Endeavor unleashed his attack, the intense heat and light enveloping Radahn.

The flames swirled around him, not meant to kill but to render him unconscious. The forest clearing lit up, the ground beneath them scorched by the sheer power of Endeavor's flames.

As the fire began to subside, the heroes stood ready, waiting for any sign of Radahn's defeat. Suddenly, a voice came from within the flames, sending shivers down everyone's spine. "Why would I be angry at someone who's obviously weaker than me?"

Radahn stepped forward, completely unscathed by the inferno. His eyes glowed with an otherworldly light, and his presence exuded immense power. Purplish aura seems to be hovering beside him.

All the heroes' attacks seemed to have no effect on him.

"Though I don't appreciate you, those without grace, coming in a group and launching an attack. You can't expect me to stay silent, can you?"
