┊Approaching Tides

~O~

"We're still investigating the cause of the sudden change in the Pacific, we'll relay the information to our audience as soon as we can— Oh, it looks like our informants caught something. According to the newly received information from the navy, it appears that the increase in tides from the Eastern Pacific Ocean have picked up their speed and are heading towards mainland Japan at around 231 kilometers per hour as opposed to their previously slower recorded speed of 187 kilometers per hour. No weather changes have been reported to describe their cause. Therefore, the navy believes it's an unknown object heading towards us. Civilians are asked to keep calm and persevere in this situation. Many heroes have been notified and will soon be on our borders to dissolve the crisis if it appears to be a villain attack from overseas. Kindly, keep —"

With a single press of a button, the screen turned off as Tsukauchi sat the remote on the desk and turned to address the number of heroes sitting before him in UA's meeting room. It was nearing six in the evening and no student was to be found on the main campus, thus making this conversation as private to the ones working on the case as possible.

"We have alerted our neighboring countries' coastlines to get ready in case this thing decides to change its direction. There is still no solid proof on what this could be, but we've been informed that its estimated size is… Huge to say the least," The detective stated before putting down the files he was holding beforehand. The man sighed before getting to the next part as the UA staff listened to him attentively, "It's just a possibility but… I think All For One is involved somehow,"

Midnight questioned, "How so? The man is imprisoned in Tartarus with no possible way of communication. They have him under a number of quirk suppressors even though he was left quirkless after Kyoto, you know." 

"Yes, but we don't have all the details." Tsukauchi continued, "Midoriya only provided us with the basics of what happened. We don't know what truly happened back there… The boy might not have all the details himself. All For One reigned the underground for over a century, he must have some underlings we still don't know about, a plan B of sorts in case things go south."

"Hm… Your concern is valid, detective." Nezu spoke up, his paws joined together, "It's best to notify all heroes in the case to be prepared for the worst case scenario. We shall begin evacuating all cities near the coast, if things seem to get worse then perhaps evacuate the nearby cities as well. The object, whatever it is, won't be able to reach the coast for at most four days considering it can't go faster. We'll get ourselves a two days limit if its speed is reported to increase any further." 

"As for the Kyoto incident, I'll ask Midoriya tomorrow myself for a more detailed explanation." Aizawa said, covering the second of the detective's concerns.

All Might added, "We might as well talk to the other students involved, it's quite possible that someone might have caught something we missed."

"Very well, then. We'll talk again tomorrow, as for now, the meeting is dismissed."

The tides were approaching.

The tides were approaching fast.

Midoriya stepped out of the UA dormitories with a water bottle in hand, it was quite late at night and everyone else had most definitely gone to bed by now. He wasn't exactly keeping track of time so he couldn't tell exactly how late it was but it was late nonetheless. It was an unhealthy routine, he knew. Many teachers and friends had tried talking him out of training till midnight but he couldn't really bring himself to stop. The drive to get better, the need to get better with his quirk — well, quirks. He still hadn't been able to get rid of the quirk All For One gave to him. It didn't help at all that One For All decided to add some of its own in the mix sometime last year.
