As they walked through the empty streets of the city, one thing became clear.
"That's right!" A cloaked figure stepped onto the path the League had been following.
Slidin' Go bowed and hastily slid out of the way as the man continued to speak.
"Deika is a city where 90% of the population consists of dormant Liberation Army warriors."
The man had black, greasy hair that had been slicked back. He was dressed in a suit and donned purple sunglasses. Behind him stood a woman with purple hair and blue skin.
"Thank you for coming so far to see us! Today is a day for celebrating you welcomed guests," his words were as greasy as his hair.
"Isn't he Hanabata from the Hearts and Minds party?" Mr. Compress murmured.
Of course, no wonder he was such a smooth talker.
'He's a damn politician.'
"Now, let us begin..." and all at once, the air turned ominous as the man raised a hand.
"The Meta Liberation Army revival party...!"
With a snap, hundreds of Liberation Army followers leapt out from the woodworks, ready to sever our heads from our necks.
I jumped back, dodging an attack from a lady with shark teeth.
"They really have 110,000...!" Mr. Compress yelled.
"That's not important! We're here, where Giran?!" Twice demanded.
Oh yes, I did vaguely recall this being a rescue mission.
"If you're talking about the broker, he's waiting over there with our grand commander," the politician waved towards a large tower in the distance.
"Bastard! Didn't you say you'd give him back?!" Twice cried.
I dodged a few more of the Army's minions and caught up with Shigaraki.
He turned the attackers around him to dust instantly.
He had no hesitation.
'What a merciless guy...'
"For now, everyone focus on getting to the tower!" he declared.
But it was easier said than done.
With the relentless attacks, we'd been held back.
And with Toga no where to be found, we were down one member.
"Damn-!" I cursed as I leapt over a pair of twins with what seemed to be a shared quirk.
I kicked them both in their arms, using my quirk to twist them backwards.
Their shoulders fell out of their socket with a sickening crack and the pair fell to the ground in pain.
I felt sick for doing it.
'But... at least they're alive...!'
I rendezvoused with Dabi and Spinner, the latter of which complaining as he slashed at a pursuer.
"I'm getting real sick of killing these guys!" he yelled, ducking behind Dabi.
"You haven't even killed anyone," Dabi spat before flames shot from his hands and cleansed the street of life.
I balled my hands into fists.
'The twins I left there...'
They were nothing more than ash now.
