A Wolf Among the Sheep

Internships: Army of Darkness

Tenya was thoroughly enjoying his internship. Working with his brother... it was a dream come true. Next time, he'd get some experience with other heroes, in order to fully round out his education.

Still, it took all he had to not get too excited. After all, this was a professional, heroic outing. He couldn't tarnish his brother's reputation through his own joy at the situation. So, he listened with rapt attention. All of the nuances of heroism, from patrols, to paperwork, and everything in between. It had become sunset when Tensei began to lead him back to the agency after a long day's work.

And now, he was asking about UA. More specifically, his hero costume. It was completely different to his first, which had been an homage to his brother. "So... I see you got a new outfit... didn't ask before, but why the shakeup?"

"Well, to be honest..." The younger intern started, "It was because of the USJ... attack..."

That took a damper out of his older brother's sails. "Oh... sorry to remind you of that..."

"It is fine, brother. The rest of the family is no doubt curious about that as well." Choosing what he says carefully, Tenya started the explanation. "After viewing the... carnage... our class generally agreed that we needed stronger armor. This was the lightest I could find while still having adequate protection. And most in line with our family's traditions." They were an old family, the Iidas. They could trace their lineage back before the dawn of quirks, and had served the emperors directly. A noble service, now which was directed for the people.

"I see... well, no matter what you do..." Unfortunately, at that moment, their attention was grabbed by the fact that there were civilians running towards them from down the street. "What the..."

Tenya looked down the street, and saw a wall of dark fog. From it, dark looking armored people were arriving, carrying weapons of all kinds, sharp, blunt, piercing, striking... And they bore dark colors intermingled with orange. In between them, large monsters lumbered with them, the only similarity between them was their clearly exposed brains. Recognizing the nomu from the USJ, the younger Iida's eyes widened, as he glanced towards his brother, frantically knowing that they were vastly outnumbered and outgunned. However, when he noticed the leader, a man wearing dark clothes, and an assortment of hands all over. Paling, he withdrew his katana. "Brother... that is an army of villains..."

"I can see that... we have to stop them. Hold them back as best we can!" Pressing the comms button on his helm, he immediately ordered, "All Sidekicks, this is Ingenium, requesting backup at my position effective immediately, let HeroNet know, Hosu is under attack!"

Then a Nomu threw a car towards their position, forcing them to move as it exploded on contact.

Bolting through the streets, the five, containing Izuku, Reiko, Tokoyami, Hawks and Miruko ran to meet Iida's position. Ingenium may have intended the distress call to be towards his agency, but the reports flooded in as soon as the first explosion occurred. With little time to lose, they were silent as they arrived on the scene. It only took them seven minutes, but that could be the difference between life and death. Hawks flew up to get an idea of what they were dealing with, and contacted the rest of the group with wide eyes as he saw just what was going on. "Alright, Ingenium wasn't kidding, this is a full on army. There are roughly 30 heroes in town. That plus the police force means this actual army is going to be an impossible challenge. Our job will be safeguarding civilians. I am authorizing full use of your quirks and weapons. Put them down until they aren't a threat."

Miruko added for Izuku's sake. "I know you don't have a fuckin' quirk, but you are authorized to kill. We don't have time to debate this."

"Agreed." Izuku stated, as they rounded the corner and saw... hell. A whole army of villains coursing through the city, using their quirks and weapons to attack anything that wasn't them. Nomus were strictly causing as much damage as possible, causing structural failure. "There are Nomu here!"
