Chapter 71:- Shoji's Move

"The darkest of times often produce the brightest of heroes. Vigilantes are born from desperation, not malice." - Anonymous

The next day, Izuku and Kaina had a beautiful morning in each other's arms as they were in each other's embrace till afternoon, they didn't do anything, just laid down in each other's embrace, feeling each other's warmth, caressing each other, enjoying the embrace.

However, the same couldn't be said about Izuku's mind as it was working on full overdrive figuring everything out, along with all the unforeseen possibilities that could happen to make sure his plan didn't fail.

Meanwhile,

The news of Eiji's death struck Mezo Shoji like a thunderclap, shattering his world into a million pieces. Eiji, his closest friend, his sworn brother, his beacon of hope in a world filled with prejudice and discrimination, was gone.

A sense of grief and anger engulfed Shoji, consuming his every thought and emotion. The pain was unbearable, a frightening emptiness that threatened to consume him entirely. But amidst the despair, a burning desire for revenge ignited within his heart.

Eiji's death was not an accident; it was a deliberate act of cruelty, a senseless act of violence perpetrated by those who feared and despised heteromorphs like them. Shoji refused to let their heinous crime go unpunished. He would bring them to justice, holding them accountable for the life they had so mercilessly extinguished.

Driven by an insatiable thirst for revenge, Mezo embarked on a relentless quest for accountability. He decided to abandon his studies, his friends, and his very identity, consumed by his singular obsession. He transformed himself from a timid, peace-loving boy into a resolute figure, his eyes burning with an unwavering determination. He would bring justice to Eiji, even if it meant sacrificing everything he held dear.

And he was going to do so by attacking the people who were involved with the bullying and his ultimate demise.

Filled with rage, Shoji made a very simple plan. He would infiltrate the headquarters of the people responsible for Eiji's death, gather evidence of their crimes, and expose them to the world. It was a dangerous undertaking, one that could easily end in his own demise, but Shoji was no longer afraid. He had nothing left to lose, and the thought of bringing Eiji's killers to justice fueled his determination.

But what Shoji totally forgot was that the people he was planning to attack were pro heroes and policemen who had been in their field of crime fighting for more years than Shoji's was alive for.

So he totally overlooked how easily he created the plan and how simple he thought it was going to be, to execute it, which wasn't really the case.

And that was where he lost the edge, and his chances of victory came down to a fluke of luck or a beginner's luck level.

Under the cover of darkness, Shoji slipped into the heavily guarded headquarters of Fukuoka Prefecture's Police Department, his movements as silent as a shadow. He had seen the building's layout as he had been there many times. His heteromorphic abilities, which had once been a source of shame and insecurity, now became his greatest asset. His quirk Dupli arms.

Dupli-Arms: Shoji's Quirk grants him a set of tentacles alongside his arms. He can transform the tips of these tentacles to replicate other parts of his body (ex: mouth, ears, eyes). The duplicated body parts are more efficient than the originals; as a result, Shoji can hear better, see-through more angles at a time, and they grant him much higher degrees of strength.

His detection ability from his Quirk is so powerful that he can hear the movements of people despite a sizable distance between them. This feat renders sneak attacks ineffective against Mezo.

He also uses these arms to talk most of the time through duplicate mouths, rather than his actual mouth.

Mezo is also able to extend his tentacles, and, with an arm at the end, can use them like grappling hooks to scale walls, grab onto pipes to quickly evade attacks, or get to a vantage point.

Using his Quirk extensively can be tiring, especially if he is using his arms for prolonged periods.

<A N:- In Canon, as part of his training, Shoji was tasked with producing duplicated body parts faster and maintaining greater control over a large number parts.< p>

In the Obstacle Race, Dupli-Arms can be seen acting like a pair of wings, which enables Shoji to glide in the air for a short time, thus able to jump from one stone pillar to another without needing to touch the ropes>.

He was going to use his training and mastery over his quirk to get the job done, so he used his Dupli arms to scout the area with extended sets of eyes, while his enhanced hearing enabled him to detect even the faintest sound.

Navigating through the corridors, Shoji avoided detection, his heart pounding with a mixture of fear and anticipation. He reached the Police Headquarters inner area, a vast room filled with computer terminals and classified documents and lots of desks where policemen were seated. And behind the vast room was Fukuoka Prefecture's police chief's cabin. It was there that he would find the evidence he needed.

Shoji somehow was able to reach the police chief's cabin as he began to gather the incriminating files, a sudden noise echoed through the room. He froze, his instincts screaming at him to flee. He had been careless as he took things lightly; his focus on getting revenge had made him oblivious to his surroundings.

From behind Shoji emerged a group of armed guards, their faces grim and determined. They had discovered the intruder, and they were not going to let him escape.

Shoji who hadn't done proper planning and had just barged into the headquarters without thinking much had overestimated his abilities and underestimated the police as there were motion sensors near all the sensitive documents so that no one could infiltrate and get their hands on such sensitive information and these motion sensors that had caught Shoji, but unlike the ones that make noise, these send notification on the computers that were working outside, so the police found out about the infiltration as they barged in.

Shoji was outnumbered and outgunned, but he refused to surrender. He wanted to get revenge and so he fought with a ferocity that surprised even himself, his heteromorphic abilities giving him an edge. He moved with a speed and agility that left the guards reeling, his dupli arms tearing through their defenses.

It's said at times of crisis, our hidden powers come out and that's what was happening to Shoji currently

But the odds were against him. One by one, the guards fell, but their numbers seemed endless. Shoji was growing weary, his body battered and bruised. Just when he thought he was about to be overwhelmed, he was starting to lose all hope and was asking for forgiveness from Eiji saying, 'I'm sorry Eiji san, I couldn't bring justice to your wrongdoers, I'll probably be joining you soon,' thought Shoji as he had accepted his fate, although he still wanted to have hope that someone would save him, but that was very dim, and it was slowly extinguishing completely.

Just as he was about to get caught, a roar could be heard, it was one of the fellow policemen who were about to catch Shoji, as all of them directed their vision towards the policemen who just screamed to find out he was missing his arm.

Before they could do anything or react, one by one all the people who had surrounded Shoji started screaming as one by one all of them started losing their limbs.

As blood was spilled everywhere, a lot of it on Shoji's face as well, as he was looking at the entrance of the room to see a person standing there, covered by the room's darkness with the light outside the room, highlighting his visage.
