Beyond Ultra (a MHA story)

Chapter 55

Few days have past as the police try and collect evidence as to who kidnapped Horoki and Sara. The police searched the apartment and asked witnesses, only one witness said they saw a mysterious man walk into one of the toughest bars, asking for a girl named Sara. The cop reported it to the heroes, to which they held a meeting. Nezu clasped his hands, "two people have been kidnapped, one named Sara Lewis, and the other Horoki Arashi. One is a citizen and we don't know exactly why they need her, another is a student at U.A, one that had past connections to the villains. I want to discuss our plan of attack." Nezu said. "You said to us that he has past connections before, what do you mean by that?" Rock Lock asked, a hero that can immobilize any non living thing he touches, stopping it in a fixed location in space. Ryuko Tatsuma or Ryukyu, who can turn into a dragon. Fat Gum, who can use his body to store kinetic energy, even to bounce bullets and absorb punches. Endeavor, Aizawa and Lincoln. "This student was kidnapped previously and knew member in the league." Nezu said. "What's to say that he isn't working for them?" Rock Lock asked. "Considering he's helped Class 1A students fight them, I highly doubt it." Aizawa said. "He could be playing the long game. Fight them and gain our trust." Rock Lock said. "I know Horoki, he is a changed person. He strives to help people." Aizawa argued. "I can concur, he's a hardworking hero that has a heart of gold." Endeavor said. "That is what I'm discussing. Is it worth having him back at U.A?" Nezu asked. Lincoln, Endeavor, Aizawa's eyes widened as they heard the words leave his mouth. "Nezu. Are you suggesting that he is not worth rescuing?" Aizawa asked, a little agitated. "I am suggesting that after we rescue him, that he will no longer be apart of our school." Nezu clarified. "That's not fair Nezu." Endeavor said. "I don't care if it's fair. He started a fight on his first day. He's had clear signs of aggression, we must take every precaution we can to protect our students." Nezu said. "What're your thoughts cowboy?" Fat Gum asked. "I'm in the same boat as Endeavor, God I can't believe I said that." Lincoln said with disgust at the end. "You would not have a job if it weren't for Aizawa being injured Lincoln. You owe it to us." Nezu said. "I'm sorry, I owe it to you?" Lincoln asked, clearly irritated. "Yes. You would be playing card games trying to pay your bills if it weren't for us." Nezu said. Lincoln looked at Nezu, "I did this for Snipes. Not you." Lincoln said. "Either way, we need to rescue him. Endeavor, you will be leading this charge. Aizawa, you'll be there too." Nezu said. "And I'll join the rescue group." Lincoln said. "If you do, I cannot promise you'll have a job when you get back." Nezu said firmly. Lincoln then got up, "he's my responsibility. I'll gladly retire if it means he will still be a student." Lincoln said as he got up and walked out of the room. "He has some grit." Ryukyu said. "That's true. He's got some guts to talk to you like that Nezu. Specially when his job is on the line." Fat Gum said. "Well, considering Snipe spoke highly of him, I can see why." Nezu said. "He's growing on you." Aizawa said. "I see potential. He doesn't have his hero license yet he-"

"Wait! He doesn't even have his hero license?! Why is he even here?!" Rock Lock shouted. "Rock Lock has a point. Mr. Colt shouldn't be here with us." Endeavor said. "He is the reason we met Horoki. He is the reason that Liam and Horoki aren't villains, he was there for the students when no one else was available. We can let this go for once." Aizawa said. "Hm...do you think he could try and go through with getting his actual hero license?" Ryukyu asked. "I can help him get prepared for the tests after we rescue Horoki. Endeavor, we need to come up with a plan." Aizawa said.

At the Dorms

Endillion was with the girls having a slumber party to keep Jiro's mind off of Horoki, while the boys were wondering what could possibly be happening with Horoki. "So there's rumors that Horoki's kidnapping was planned. That he actually working with the villains all along." Sero said. "That's crazy! Why would he do that?" Sato asked. "If that's the case, then we are all fools." Tokoyami said, crossing his arms. "There's no way Horoki is working with the villains." Todoroki said. "I've seen the rage in his eyes when he sees Toga, you cannot fake that emotion." He said. "Yeah, but Horoki's old quirk gave him multiple personalities, don't you think he could fake it?" Kaminari asked. "I'm not sure that's how personalities work Kaminari." Sato said. "He wouldn't. He cares for Jiro!" Koda said. "We don't know that Koda. Like how I didn't think my best friend would stoop that low to talk trash about my father." Liam said. "You really think that Horoki would turn dark side?" Shoji asked. "I wouldn't put it behind him." Liam said, shrugging at his answer. "What do you think Bakugo?" Kirishima asked. Bakugo stayed quiet, looking through the patio window. He then spoke softly, "if Horoki turned out to play us all like some damn video game, then I won't hesitate to burn him to a crisp." He said in a low growling voice. "Well, that's Bakugo for you." Sero said, he then looked around. "Anyone seen Mineta?" He asked.
