Third person POV. -- 24th of July -- 2407 --
[ Shizuoka Prefecture -- Street Outside Umioka City ]
It is currently 11:30 AM in the day, while the Benihana's had been on the road towards home, they were attacked by an anticipated group of villains.
It's the Hammer and Spring villains, freshly out of prison, and not a single minute spend in enjoying their freedom, they had gone and robbed a jewelry store.
Their objectives were clear. The moment they were free, they were out for blood. Specifically, the blood of the 'lifeline hero: Redvein'
They didn't stay idle for a single second, first robbing the jewelry store to get money and jewelry, they then hit the black market, spending all their stolen cash to buy a stun bullet and a mercenary to track down the hero
Once Tetsuya had exited Hinode City, they wanted to finish the job then and there, but they thought better of it. Knowing that pro heroes were hot on their tails, as well as Redvein coming to Hinode most likely for them, –seeing as the villains were sighted there, they decided to lay low for a few more days and just tail the pro hero
Turns out, he has a wife and a brat, out here on vacation, not a single bit sorry about killing their sister!
So they decided to lay a trap on him, knowing he'd go back to Hinode after the trip, they layed out a trap on the road he'll take back home
It's the perfect area, an empty road out of the city, where no sheep will get in the way of their revenge. They will kill him there, along with his wife and kid
.
..
...
Currently, Tetsuya's head is hurting from the crash he went through a few minutes back. His eyes are half lidded in the aftermath of the ordeal. But even so, he is the only wall seperating the approaching villains from his 'everythings'
So the pro hero decides to stand up, putting himself in front of the villains, in order to protect the innocent. After all, that's how it's always been, that's how this world works.
The villains, once close enough, pull their hooded robes and throw them aside, letting Redvein see the faces of these heinous criminals
The Hammer villain, now the same height as Redvein, readies his Hammer hands for brawling, hitting the heads at each other. While the spring villain begins compressing his legs in order to jumpforth
Tetsuya expells gallons of blood, –simultaneously regenerating them in his body in mere seconds, while throwing a veil over his unconscious family, not letting the villains have it easy by taking them hostage, or worse...
He puts a piece of his mind on that task, controlling his blood, while the rest get ready for the brawl
He begins by Augmenting his physical traits, becoming as strong as a 50% ofa Izuku! Something clearly way stronger than their first fight
Some would say it's even overkill, and they'd be right. Redvein is angry that they've hurt his family, so a few permanent dismemberment is not out of his plans regarding these villains!
The ground under Redvein cracks as he vanishes from his spot, not letting the 2 villains even think about retaliating. where he used to stand is now a hurricane left behind by his sheer movement!
He appears besidesthe hammer villain, his fist already in a right cross motion, wanting to send the villain right towards his brother, planning to distance them both from this area
The hammer villain, quickly raising his guard to his side out of sheer instinct, his righthammer hand tanking the hit, but he is still send flying at his brother –both of them being send hundreds of meters into the distance, the difference in strength being too great for his defending to matter
Before going after them, he looks to his wife and daughter, seeing them safe for now and under his blood cover. He takes a step and vanishes from his spot, not letting the villains out of his sight
The two villains crash land into a thick three, denting the old plantae with their silhouettes, and falling to the floor
They quickly recover themselfs though, years of working on their body begin showing itself now. although...
"hmmph-! " A silent cry is heard from the bigger villain, making the spring one look his way. "that fucker, ungh- he broke my arm!" The Hammer villain's right arm has already swelled in the forearm section, where he tanked the hit. The area having a dent to it and turning darkpurple in real time
Seeing this, the spring villain quickly compresses his spring like feet, beginning to shoot around the trees, propelling himself all over the area and gaining momentum, beginning to build up kinetic energy to expel for once Redvein gets here.
And it doesn't take long for the Hero to arrive, seeing what the villains are doing, he first prioritizes the kinetic energy building one, shooting out to stop his momentum
Redvein's path is blocked though, by the hammer villain who's right side is limp besides him, choosing to strike with his left
The pro hero doesn't show mercy, the strike he was preparing for the moving fly, is instead charged to 100% for the wall intercepting him. He strikes out, the villain doing the same, and their fists collide, generating a shockwave around them, clearing the area of tree scraps and falling leaves as well as denting the floor where the clash took place
The brawl is once again won by the hero, and this time, the Hammer for hands guy isn't so lucky
"AGAAAAA-" He yells out, having shot towards a tree and hit the floor, his left hand compressed like compressing steel, a bone even sticking out, the scene becoming a gory mess, showing that Redvein has ran out of fucks to give!
'Consequences be damned! These fuckers hurt my family! ' is his reason for doing so
"Uchi!!! YOU BASTAAAARD!!! " The spring villain's voice echo from all around, the fury clear in his crazed voice!
Without another second of waiting, the spring villain launches himself right at Redvein's back from a tree, his two spring feet poised to connect with the hero first
Redvein's head is turned towards his back, his blood red eyes following the villain's form from the very beginning, but he decides to wait.
He waits for the foolish villain to come to him, quickly turning his form around to tank the blow, to show the villain how futile it is to come after him, to put the terror of god or devil on his soul! So that he may never hurt another soul ever again!
Unfortunately for the hero, Villains seldom play fair...
"NOW! " The spring villain yells out,
BANG!
A gun shot is heard,
THUD!
The sound of it hitting flesh,
CRASH!
And the sound of the villain's attack as it hits it's target.
FWOOSH BOOM!
The sound of a body being hurdled through the air, and hitting a tree, toppling the said tree...
.
..
...
Earlier in the scuffle, after Redvein vanishes to chase the villains, Retsu begins stirring awake.
Her vision is blurry, her eyes unfocused. But her years of experience let's her focus back to the present very quickly. She consciously begins using her quirk to heal her internals
Her rib which was cracked when the car hit the tree, her right shoulder that hit the door car, her side head that's bleeding
Her quirk quickly begins to close the tissues, analysing her internal injuries and healing them in real time. It only takes seconds, but seconds in fights like this decide the fates of winners and losers
Retsu begins gettingup, besides her she sees Kie laying unconscious. She extends her hand, her blood seeping through and entering her system, beginning to analyse the injuries, and starting it's metamorphic phase of changing itself into the cells needed for the ones missing inside Kie's body
Once Kie is regenerated, Retsu gets up on her knees, seeing the protective blood circling her and her mother.
Retsu extends a hand, feeling how solid the blood is, and she walks through it, pushing it like a veil, controlling the blood of another
Retsu doesn't even acknowledge this discovery, instead she looks around before Augmenting herself, and begin sprinting towards the noise she's hearing
As she runs, she materializes a blood sword in her right hand, compressing the blood to the point it's solid as steel, and has taken the shape of a slightly curved Katana.
As she's running, she's getting closer and closer to a clearing in the distance, her eyes already seeing everything from this distance, how her dad is just standing there, waiting for the villain to strike
She hears a gunshot, her eyes beginning to widen, she sees the bullet connect with Redvein's back shoulder, it's affect starting to disrupt his carefully crafted Augmentation that he has done to his body
She sees the spring villain connect with his father's chest, caving it in and sending the pro hero flying away. She hears the crunching sound as his bones are crushed under the force!
Retsu's mind blanks, the limiter she put on her current body broken
Her blood begins to boil under her skin, Augmenting her to new heights never before reached. Her skin reddens, her eyes turning cold red, her form vanishing from the spot she's in
.
..
...
Just when the spring villain was catching his breath after sending the hero flying away... "hah, Hah, Haha... Hahahahaha AAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I'VE GOT YOU! I GOT YOU I FINALLY GOT YOU I GOT YO-" SHING!
'Huh? ' the spring villain's world begins to topple, 'what's... Happening?... ' he questions, seeing ground becoming sky and sky becoming ground, his head spins, catching a silhouette, the silhouette of a little girl, her eyes cold red, her features emotionless, her bloody eyes looking as his head falls to the floor, it's last remnant of lifeforce snuffed out
His last thoughts, 'wha-... ' left unsaid, unknown, forgotten
"Ah.... ahhhhhaaaaaaaa! " Retsu hears a cry of agony from the side, but she doesn't acknowledge it. Her eyes going from her slain enemy to her father in the distance. She does though, not leave any witnesses behind
She swings her blood sword in the direction of the hammer villain,–not even looking his way, as a gigantic sword slash leaves her blade, the size of it easily half the tree the hammer villain is sitting against
The gigantic slash connects, drowning the villain's scream as it boils him alive. First leaving a giant diagonal slash on his body, and from there melting the rest of his parts, leaving behind a mangled corpse in his place
There may be Consequences involved for this later, but the sight of Redvein, his chest caved in, many of his bones probably broken, and not even being able to move his eyes while he is conscious currently, makes it so that Retsu doesn't care at all. Her ruthless, yachiru (8,000 style) side surfacing for a few minutes
Retsu let's go of her augmentation, returning to her normal limit, and adrenaline not letting her feel how hurt she's made herself currently by going betond her set limit
She runs to her father, getting to him and quickly extending her blood, letting it seep into his wounds and staft healing them. His chest caving in, she heals by first moving her blood around the broken bones to put them in their right orther, then she seeps her blood in between the broken bones, starting to mend them in real time by giving up her lifeblood and turning it into the building blocks that make Tetsuya's bones. After the that she regenerates his other injuries while her main focus turning to finding the problem of his stunness
She gets her answer when she feels a wound on his back, having penetrated his skin and tendons, fracturing his shoulder bone, and entering his blood system, where she finds his blood complretly stunned
She can feel as Tetsuya is trying to command his blood to move, to shake, to boil. To do anything but start moving. 'It will atleast take a few minutes, he may as well push his blood out and regenerate in its place, but the problem is he doesn't have agency over his blood to do this'
'This shouldn't be possible. ' retsu thinks, 'our immune system are very strong. Not even the strongest of poisons should work on us. Yet his blood is locked in place and won't move for atleast another few minutes' Retsu is frowning
Even though she's thinking this, her blood has already gotten to work. Entering his body and taking the properties of his blood, force expelling the clotted blood from his system, and replacing it with her own transformed blood, a complete replica of her father's. –doing all of this in the span of just a few seconds.
The ground around the duo has been turned into a pool ofclotted blood. Retsu is in the proces of refreshing her father's blood supply when she's suddenly interrupted
Thud, thud, thud, thud
Sounds of heavy feet hitting the floor is heard, as if the person is actively trying to be noticed
Retsu turns around, her mind doing a double take. 'Pernida Parnkgjas?!?! ' she is left speechless, for in front of her there is a character so similar looking to Pernida from her old life,–Theleft hand of the soul king, that it leaves her speechless
The only difference being that this one is wearing a black colored hood instead of white. The resemblance is uncanny
Retsu's mind has done hundreds of calculations in these few minutes she's seen the approaching figure
'If his ability is similar to pernida's, i can't match him' is her final deduction. The best course of action would be to take her father, circle around this enemy, run back to her mother, and take the 2 and sprint away as fast as she can, hoping she's faster than him
That is what one part of her being is saying, the other part, the part she's honed for fighting has something else to say
'He isn't dangerous.' what the hell, is her mind playing tricks on her? No matter what, she isn't feeling endangered by his presence.
'That's not Pernida, thesilhouette may look like him but it isn't him' , Retsu realizes, 'In that case, what abomination can have a sillouette like Pernida. What does this thing loo like under that hood? ' Retsu asks
By the time it took her to think this all, only 3 seconds have passed. And Retsu has stood up, leaving enough blood behind to untangle her father from his current predicament
"Who are you? " She asks, not getting an answer from those two yellow orbs under the hood
'Very well. It's not talking so either it can't or it's choosing not to' Retsu gets in a fighting stance, her sword raised over her shoulder, holding it with both hands, the tip pointing forward
"Not talking? That's fine by me" Retsu says, her eyes going cold, her stance ready
The Pernida lookalike stops in the middle of the clearing, it's yellow eyes glowing a little brighter, as if analysing it's opponent
Retsu doesn't give it much staring room and launches forth
Her sword flashes red, coming down towards the figure in a clear arc, before at the last second it's turned into a diagonal slash
The figure steps back, only enough to dodge the slash, and making Retsu reposition because of the now closeproximity
She gets to its side, sending a horizontal slash, but that too is evaded. She tries again from another angle, but again it's dodged.
'How is he doing this? ' Retsu questions, her mind calm despite her failing attacks. She looks up, 'the eyes' she realizes
Those glowing orbs are somehow reading her every movement, evading them in the nick of time. 'It must be using something as a middle to be able to read my movements' Retsu deduces, her mind thinking of many of things that could help him read her
'It's not future prediction' she knows this, because if it was then her opponent should be in motion before Retsu does her move. This one is reacting to her movement the second she does them, as if he's reading her like a book
Retsu falls back, finding her ground a few feet away after the many unsuccessful tries, and her opponent doesn't follow, as if content to let her try as much as she wants
'Is he testing me? ' Retsu questions, 'but why would he? ' she asks, not finding an answer
'He's somehow reading my movements' She deduces, 'it's related to those eyes of his' Retsu concludes, but then pauses, her mind remembering something
'Wait, could it be?...' She asks, her eyes widening. 'Trying wouldn't hurt' Retsu thinks, before once again moving into her stance
She attacks once again, this time, a normal diagonal slash with the same speed and precision, but lacking one fundamental thing
Slash!
The slash connects! Leaving a shallow cut on the black robe and Making the hooded figure jump back a few feet, leading to Retsu's theory becoming true
"So that's how it is" Retsu says, "you can read what I'm about to do through reading my intent." She says, though not getting an answer. "You have some kind of mind reading ability that let's you read an intent before it's executed. " Despite the revelation, Retsu is frowning
"But what i don't understand is how you can move so quickly the moment i strike out" Retsu says, waiting but not getting an answer
She just shrugs, "no matter, I'll learn of it when i dismember you" Her words brook no arguement from her opponent, leaving Retsu to think if he or she is mute
Now that Retsu has learned of her opponents trick, she's found hundreds of ways to overcome it. The most prominent choice being to conceal her intentions during slashing
Concealing ones Intent is child's play for the over a thousand years old soul. Leading to her slashes beginning to connect, drawing blood occasionally
After a minute, where Retsu's opponent is littered with cuts, Retsu decides to find out who exactly is under those robes
She appears infront of the figure, her sword slashing and dicing the clothing apart, before she retreats back, –and consequently trips as she sees what's under the robes
'A nomu?!?' it's skin is dark green, it's crown donning a massive brain, easily twice the size of normal human brains. It's eyes, –those sickly glowing yellow orbs, is looking right at her form.
It's mouth and nose is removed. It doesn't have ears besides its bald head either, it only has those yellow glowing orbs to see
It's a 150 cm (4'9 ft) tall nomu who is hunched over, but it's form is full of lean muscles, fit for speed.
The moment Retsu recognizes this creature, she fails to hide her shock. Her eyes widen, as if in familiarity, her mouth slightly agape. But she quickly schools her expression, trying to play off the shock.
But the water has already been spilled, if behind those eyes there is the being Retsu knows there is, then there is no reason in hiding her expression anymore. He's already seen her
'Whatever the case now, i should get rid of this camera here and now' Retsu quickly Augments herself to the max, before appearing before the Nomu, and severing it's head
.

"How amusing~" A muffled voice, so sinister, so evil, as if the devil personified, is heard within a dimmly lit room
A man is seen sitting on a throne like chair within this room. Many tubes and other life support items connected to his weathering body, trying to give it a few more years to live, though struggling invain
The face of the man being supported by his right knuckles, can best be described as featureless. No eyes, no ears, no hair, no brows, and no nose. All of those body parts having been removed and gifted a hideous scar in place.
Only a wide smirking mouth is seen dominating his face, –which has an oxygen mask put around it, making the words he utters muffled
"Aaaah what a wonderful quirk she has~" His voice is muffled, but hiding no less how amused and sinister it sounds
"Healing, True Healing by making your blood cells take on the properties of another being's cells, patching the empy spot. Truely, what a wonderful quirk" He says, but more than this, there is another reason hes so facinated by this girl
"It's as if she knew about the nomu, recognizing it the moment she saw it's silhouette" His voice is more amused and intrigued rather than wary of her, "this knowledge, how did she come to know of it i wonder"
There are a great many quirks of different varieties in the world, maybe her foreknowledge comes from something of similar kind
He may be amused by the new player, but he should still pull back his chest piece, 'there is no need to expose my hand first. After all, this is a long game we are playing. And i am a master of long games'
"I am sorry my dear, but i can't have the other side finding out about my pieces this early on, " He extends his hand, and his Vision, the vision that he sees through the eyes of the decapitated nomu, is flooded with brown sludge like substance
It seeps from the nomu's body, encompasses it, extends to the severed body, andteleports the body to a place for it to recover
The being, All For One, Shigaraki Zen, the Demon Lord of this world, and the symbol of evil
"We will meet again my dear, let us see which side will you be a part of" Despite his hurting body because he used his quirk, All For One doesn't acknowledge it, choosing to smile at the new player who has entered the game
'This experiment was a success nonetheless. I was originally hoping to get my hands on Redvein's quirk, but she should be an even better alternative. What with her healing ability and such' all for one smirks.
All of these events that occurred, –the villains being able to get their hands on a bullet containing one of his many quirks, the ability to stun blood, kinda giving it clotting properties without killingthe opponent.
Them conveniently finding a mercenary fitting their needs, it was all a part of all for one's plan to get to Redvein, maybe extracting his quirk through this plot, but not putting much effort into this campaign
In the end though, the demon king did find a diamond in the rough!

Author's Note/ The final boss mentioned and involved all the way at episode 6??? Who could have seen that coming?!?!?
Σ(ﾟДﾟ;)
All for one using his nomus in these subtle ways to gain strength through finding Quirks is something i think is very reasonable inside the story
It's subtle manipulation, finding good quirks, and stealing them by using warp to bring the fresh corpses before him. I think it's something that All For One would do even in the original story
Anyways! The Nomu has intention reading, sudden speed, Ultra Reaction for safety porpuses incase he wasn't able to read his opponents intent –a robotic opponent for example. Robots don't have intent written in their movements. and lastly a search quirk similar to gigantomachia's scent tracing ability, only his works through the eyes
You might be asking, how can Retsu then hurt the nomu without putting intent into her attacks when he has Ultra reaction? And my answer to that is that, She's just Goated like that, don't question the process too much.
Anyways! The nomu is a very good seach type. It's job being the eyes and ears of the Demon Lord and finding good quirks for him to take
Anyways! This episode was all fighting. I hope i delivered. Do please leave reviews of how you think the fight went. Was it within the reason of the powerscaling i said? Was it not? How was it? Do please leave a review, it helps me better my writing and deliver even better quality chapters
Anyways! This was it for this episode, next one we'll see what happened in the aftermath so look forward to that!
Have a great day/night and Merry Christmas
