The Imprisoned Hero

Chapter 4

I put on my hero outfit and rushed out the door. I looked behind me to see Momo was ready for a fight.

"Are you ready, Creati?" I smiled.

"Ready as I'll ever be," she said.

We both ran out of the apartment building and followed the directions Deku had given us. Overhaul wasn't in Hosu. He went to Tokyo.

"He's all the way in Tokyo," I told Momo.

"That's so far away. What is he doing there?" she asked.

"I don't know, but we have to find a way to get there and fast."

We did our best to get to Tokyo quickly, but there was no way we could reach them in time to actually do something.

"Momo, is there anything you can think of that can get us there faster?"

"Maybe a rocket," she said.

"Something safe and legal!" I said.

"I'm trying to think," she said.

While she was thinking, Deku was on his way with Todoroki. The pro heroes were doing their best to try to fight off Overhaul before he moved to a different area.

"I got it!" Momo said.

"What do you have?"

"I can make a car and strap like a small rocket to it."

"Not street legal, but it will do," I said.

Momo quickly made a car and a rocket. I attached it to the car and she got in the driver's seat. She drove off and I activated the rocket.

"We should get there in about fifteen minutes now," she said.

"Ok."

When we got there, the pro heroes were still fighting Overhaul. Deku and Todoroki had arrived a few minutes before us. We got ready for battle and waited for an opening.

"Todoroki, can you give us an opening?" I asked.

He nodded and put some ice on the ground. He lit it to where smoke was now in the air. We got ready and headed into the smoke cloud. We emerged, but Overhaul was ready. He punched Deku from the air and kicked Todoroki onto the ground. Momo created a staff and tried to swing at Overhaul. He grabbed onto the staff and broke it in half.

"This is worse than the pro heroes. You shouldn't be called heroes if you can't land a single hit on your enemy."

While he was talking, I ran up from behind him and stabbed him with my light dagger. He yelled in pain as it disintegrated and burned his skin. He looked over at me. He reached his hand out and Todoroki knocked him onto the ground. Overhaul pushed Todoroki off of him and he got up.

"Make sure you're careful of his hands," I said.

"We don't want anyone losing an arm today," Deku said.

"Or something other than an arm," Momo said.

Overhaul looked at the four of us, "Not even five pro heroes can get me down. What makes you think the four of you can?"

"Do we have backup coming?" I asked Deku.

"Iida and Bakugo are on their way. Kirishima should be here soon. He wants to make up for not coming the first time," Deku said.

"Better give them time," I said.

"We need to stall. Does anyone have a plan?" Todoroki asked.

"We just need to do as much as wen can. Even if that means landing a small single hit on him. We need to get him to his limit," Deku said.

"How do we go about that?" I asked.

"Your light attacks won't do much since they know about yours. All I think you can do, for now, is to use your light weapons," Deku explained.

Overhaul slowly walked towards us, "Maybe you should of came up with a plan before you got here. It is always useless to talk about something while you're trying to fight. It distracts you from what is really important."

Overhaul was now a few feet away from us. I made a light whip and whipped it around his hand. As soon as it made contact, it burned his skin. While I was still holding on to it, it would remain. He yelled in pain as the burning sensation continued to grow stronger.

"Get him!" I said.

Momo got an idea and made a whip. She tossed it to Deku who got it wrapped around his arm. He pulled it to the other side, making Overhaul strain as he tried to break free from the whip. Momo and Todoroki got in front of Overhaul. Todoroki had fire ready to be shot. Momo had a gun towards his head.

"We don't want to kill you, but we need to get answers out of you," I said.

Overhaul was breathing heavily as he tried to get himself free. He looked around to see Bakugo, Iida, and Kirishima. They were ready for anything to happen. Overhaul sighed and stopped straining.

"Fine."

"What are your plans?"

"Why would I tell you my plans?"

"You're surrounded by seven heroes."

"You're not pros, though. You lack the experience a pro has."

"Just because we're new heroes doesn't mean we lack experience. We may not have first hand experience with dealing with villains, but we have the experience to fight."

"Your fighting could be worked on."

"You're stalling, aren't you?"

"What makes you say that? I think you're the one who is stalling since you're not asking me questions."

"Why did you target Tokyo?"

"Big city and there are a lot of people. It seemed like a perfect target."

"Why attack Hosu then?"

"I needed information on the new heroes. Since you're placed sporadically around Japan, I needed to find someone who has that information."

"Are you working with the League of Villains?"

"If I was working with that damned league, there would be more villains crawling all over Tokyo. It wouldn't just be me."

"That raises my next question: why are you alone?"

He looked up at me. I could tell he was smirking underneath the mask, "To find someone who knows the new heroes. I think I just found the right person."

"Why do you need information on the new heroes?"

"It's for the plan I am making."

"We just went in a circle here."

"Seems you did that to yourself."

"Why is getting information so important?"

"So I can be the ultimate villain."

Overhaul pulled on the whip Deku was holding, ripping it from his hands. He wrapped his hand around my light whip. Even though it was hurting him more, he pulled it from my grasp. As it left my hands, it disintegrated. He kicked Todoroki and Momo onto the ground. Iida was about to kick him, but he dodged. Bakugo and Kirishima were about to attack, but he threw his hand out and disassembled Bakugo's weapon that was around his wrist. It just nicked Kirishima and he ended up getting a deep cut. He turned towards me and lunged. All I remember was blacking out.
