The World's Protector (BNHA X Male Reader)

Chapter 3: A Monster

After a 24 hour flight, and some very rudimentary Portuguese lessons, you finally touch down in Luanda, Angola. With a bit of struggle, you are able to get a ride to Longa, the town that reported a sighting last. When you arrive, you immediately start asking around, and in a couple hours find someone who also speaks Japanese. "So, do you know anything about a wild man, or monster of some sort around here?" you ask a kind, elderly woman. "Oh, yes. The children have been talking about a monster roaming the areas right outside of town." she answers, "Did they say anything about what it looked like?" you ask eagerly, "They said the monster was very large and spiky, unlike anything they had seen before." she answers with a smile. "Thank you, ma'am, do you have any idea where they saw it?" she shakes her head, and you bow before moving on.

Several hours of asking local kids, you are finally pointed in the direction of this so called 'monster'. Though the terrain is rough, you perform a thorough search through the nearby areas, and turn up completely empty-handed. 'Where the hell am I gonna spend the night?' you think to yourself, gazing up at the sunset. With no more than a half hour of sun left, you start searching for some sort of safety for the night. Luckily you find an old shed, and with a bit of dusting you are able to at least have a roof over your head.

You wake up with a lurch, you see it is still dark outside, but you definitely heard a large snapping sound. You rush outside to investigate, and what you see sends a shiver down your spine. Towering at a height of at least twenty meters, is a massive, spiky giant. "Eijiro?" you ask out loud, the beast whips it's head towards you, and roars. "Trespasser!" the voice is very clearly not Eijiro, and it tries to stomp on you. You manage to avoid it, but the shed is not so lucky. "Sir, you are under arrest!" you scream at the huge, muscular, shirtless, stone-like creature. "Cocky hero..." it mumbles under it's breath. "I don't want to have to fight you." you say, trying to calm it down. "But, this is not your land. Other than Longa, there is nothing out here." it starts to lift it's foot again for another stomp, so you overclock x30 and jump up onto it's shoulder. "I need you to get on your knees with your hands on your head!" you order, "Die!" The giant swats at you, but you are able to get close enough to it's head to dodge. "I'm sorry." you deliver a powerful kick to where it's temple should be, but it doesn't even flinch. "Die!" it once again tries to slap you, so you utilize some overblasts to out-maneuver it. "Fine, then! Be that way!" you send and x100 overblast straight at it's face, but it again has no effect. "GO AWAY!" it tries to swat you, so you overclock x70 and meet it's hand with a direct punch, but to your utter shock it has zero effect again. The massive slap sends you flying far, crashing through bushes on the landing. Inexplicably, when you stand back up the thing is not longer there. 'What the hell is this thing..?' you ask yourself before passing out on the ground.

You awake to something nudging your leg. Looking down, you see it is just a curious aardvark. "Go away." you shoo it off, and achily stand up. "Fuck, this is why I needed somewhere comfortable." you mutter. 'now then, where did that massive thing go?' you make your way over to where you last saw it, only to see a massive area of loose dirt and uprooted plants. "He dug away?!" you ask in shock. 'Dammit...this thing isn't what I'm looking for...' you glance back and about half a mile away you see the small town, 'But I can't just leave it this close to those people...' you take a moment to think, before walking forward, towards the direction the massive monster came from.

Two hour later, you finally arrive at what looks to be a compound of some sort. Deciding to face the challenge head on, you walk right up to the front gates. "Who goes there?!" someone shouts from on top of a guard tower, "The Protector! Strongest Japanese hero! What is this place?" the guard doesn't answer, but starts climbing down as fast as he can, and then you hear him sprint away from the gate. 'the hell are they doing here? He didn't seem like military, maybe villains?' you continue to wait patiently, and about five minutes later a jet takes off at Mach speeds, racing away from the compound. "Get him! The boss says he is number one threat!" you turn back towards the gate, and as it bursts open a barrage of projectiles rains down on you. Without even thinking, you activate your force field, deflecting the projectiles. "Surrender! The Paranormal Liberation Front cannot fall to a single enemy!" a huge guy with dark gray skin and a pointy nose screams, "Geten!" suddenly, a mountain of ice forms behind them and it starts flying at you in thousands of sharp icicles. "Overblast! x200!" over the last several years, you have learned to be able to use x200 overblasts without shredding your arms, only minor aching. The icicles are repelled back into the crowd, causing several shouts of pain, but not making a dent in the approaching mob. "Kamikaze!" as the man screams the command, most of the crowd jump back, only twenty continuing to sprint at you. You ready to attack, but when they get within ten feet, they explode, causing your vision to be blocked by smoke. Without being able to see, you feel your forcefield taking a beating, but sending low powered overblasts towards the damage isn't helping. 'I can't just kill everyone here, there are at least five hundred, probably more! I need to retreat!' without another second of thought, you overclock x70 and jump out of the mob, before using overblasts to shoot away.

When you get back to the village, you turn around, only to see a massive ice serpent approaching you rapidly.
