The Dragon & The Kitsune.

Chapter 73.

10am. Monday morning. The day they were waiting on had finally arrived, and school had been postponed for the entire week due to this. The previous day they'd scoured Kamino Ward and shifted nearly half a million civilians out for their safety with a warning that they'd hunted down a powerful villain and were getting ready to take him out the next day. No one argued and majority took as many valuables as possible before leaving. It had been the biggest use of using shadow transportation that Izuku and Rhyki had ever done together, but were damn thankful it had worked as the civilians ended up on UA grounds, where Nezu had asked the siblings to bring them. Many pro heroes were here, most guarding people for their safety, despite being on UA grounds, whilst others were in a large conference room, with Nezu, to go over the rescue operation. 

They were waiting on the siblings to arrive, but they also had another incredibly important guest sitting there, who'd flown in just this morning after being contacted by Rhyki, who'd explained the situation. It was Mr Baines, the chairman of the W.H.A. The man was in his usual three-piece, black suit with a crisp white shirt. His onyx hair was perfect, not a strand out of place. Golden eyes that usually held warmth, were now hardened and cold. Those present couldn't look the man in the eye fully, except Nezu of course, but were eager to get started. Copious amounts of paperwork was scattered in front of them, explaining who had been taken by the LOV, amongst highly detailed maps of Kamino Ward, of the location that everything was meant to go down, as well as surrounding areas, including underground sewers etc. 

There was even maps done for supposedly abandoned buildings too. Literally nothing had been left out over the previous two days of putting it all together. Unfortunately, the media had also gotten to know of this and had stationed around nearby for the 'story', due to All for One and the LOV letting the world know by hacking stations across Japan and declaring it with sneers at the camera which had frightened many people upon seeing the near seven foot masked 'mastermind' behind all of this. They are damn bloody morons in wanting to be anywhere near that fight when it happened. Everyone present knew that it wouldn't be an easy fight.
"Good morning, everyone. First of all, thank you all for arriving as quickly as possible for today. Second, before we get started properly, and whilst we wait on Shadow and Pyro to arrive, I want everyone to greatly understand the situation that we have here. As stated, on Saturday, we were informed of those taken by the LOV and this All For One. Have any of you heard of him before that broadcast they did?" Baines started, sitting straight in his chair, as his golden orbs flickered over those present.

"Wasn't he a myth though? From the start of the quirk era?" Endeavour questioned.
"Yeah, like some kind of bogyman, of who can take, give quirks etc?" Ryukyu pondered. All Might sighed, drawing their attention to the number one hero, who was in his skinny form as those present already knew of it. Plus it saved his inner timer to not run out before the fight.
"He's very much real, as you now know. He's over a hundred years old, actually more on the verge of say, two hundred, I would imagine. A vile, dangerous, and despicably man. I know this, because I fought him five years ago, away from any media attention or knowledge, but I genuinely thought I'd ended the man considering I'd smashed his skull in. Clearly not, and he's the reason why I can only fight for three hours a day, and even that's dwindling down rapidly." All Might grumbled, rubbing his hands over his face in agitation.

"What else do we know of him?" Hawks queried, sitting in a corner, brushing out his wings calmly.
"Not much to be honest, even with going through my underground contacts as he's truly more myth than anything else. But there is also someone else, other than the LOV members, who is helping him and is just as malicious with zero regard to who they hurt or destroy. More so for those Nomu creatures we've seen twice now, which used to be people, were experimented on and had quirks forced on their corpses." Aizawa stated, hands gripping his coffee mug. Present Mic would have been there too, but he was personally tasked with keeping the Ragtags safe and secure from where they were hidden in a private underground room at UA, which Nezu had gladly given per the request of his favourite siblings to ensure their safety and protection. Thankfully, the group hadn't argued, knowing it was pointless, and had understood just how dangerous this was going to be. Did they like that fact, knowing that Izuku and Rhyki were going in fighting such a dangerous man? Hell no, but they understood it.
