Sentinel (BNHA x OC)

9: Nomu Attack on Hosu

The sun rose over the city, casting a warm glow upon the bustling streets below as Yaze, Sero, and Kamakiri prepared for their final day of internship together. As they gathered in Yaze's makeshift agency, a sense of camaraderie filled the air, their shared experiences bonding them together in a way that only Heroes could understand.

"So, what's on the agenda for today, Sentinel-sensei?" Sero asked, his voice filled with anticipation.

Yaze glanced at his two young apprentices, a faint smile evident in his gaze. "We'll start with some combat training," he replied, his tone firm but encouraging. "Then, perhaps we'll work on refining your techniques."

Kamakiri's eyes sparkled with excitement at the prospect of honing his skills under the guidance of his Hero. "Sounds awesome, Sentinel-sensei!" he exclaimed, a wide grin spreading across his face.

But as they prepared to begin with their training, their plans were suddenly interrupted by the shrill ring of Yaze's communicator. With a furrowed brow, Yaze answered the call, his expression growing grim as he listened to the urgent report coming through the device.

"Nomu," he muttered under his breath, his mind racing with possibilities. "Hosu City."

Sero's eyes widened in disbelief as he processed the gravity of the situation. "Nomu? But... that's no ordinary threat," he said, his voice tinged with concern. "Even All Might struggled against one of those..."

Kamakiri bristled with determination, his fists clenched at his sides. "We can handle it, Sentinel-sensei," he insisted, his voice unwavering. "We can't just stand by and do nothing while innocent people are in danger."

Yaze regarded his two young students with a mixture of pride and apprehension, torn between his duty to protect them and his desire to help those in need. "I understand your bravery, but this is no ordinary foe," he cautioned, his voice firm but gentle. "I'll handle this. You two stay here and stay safe."

With a reluctant nod, Sero and Kamakiri watched as Yaze sprang into action, his form disappearing into the distance as he raced towards the heart of the chaos. Left behind, they exchanged a solemn glance, their hearts heavy with worry for their mentor and the city he had sworn to protect.

But even as they waited anxiously for news, they knew that Yaze was more than capable of handling whatever challenges lay ahead. And as the minutes stretched into hours, they could only hope and pray for his safe return.

Smoke bellowed on the horizon as Yaze approached Hosu, a grim indication of the chaos that awaited him. With each powerful leap, he closed the distance, his heart pounding with a mixture of anticipation and dread.

Upon his arrival the devastation was palapable. Buildings lay in ruins, their structures torn asunder by the relentless assault of the Nomu. The air was thick with the stench of smoke and destruction, a stark reminder of the peril facing the city.

Before Yaze could fully assess the situation, a thunderous impact shook the ground beneath him. With a fierce roar, a quadrupedal Nomu with massive claws and a tail with an axe-like blade on the end charged at him, its massive form a blur of motion as it closed in for the attack.

Reacting swiftly, Yaze sprang into action, his muscles tensing as he prepared to meet the creature head-on. With a burst of agility, he dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the full force of the Nomu's charge.

As he regained his footing, another adversary emerged from the smoke-filled haze. This Nomu, though humanoid in shape, exuded an aura of menace that matched that of the Nomu from the USJ. It was almost as big as that Nomu, but it lacked a mouth. With deadly precision it lunged forward, its intentions clear.
