Spider-Man

I was jumping from building to building back towards the sludge villain's rampage site, while I was lost in thought about the hostage: Kacchan.

Never would I have thought that there'd be a day that I get to save him. Okay, we became so distant that it got to the point where he'd bully me out of habit, but it doesn't mean I should hurt him back; I made a pledge to not hurt innocent people with my Quirk, so that would still be a no-no, either way. I just hope he acts grateful if—when I save him.

I finally arrived at the site where the sludge villain is keeping Kacchan hostage, standing over a roof hidden from everyone's sight. This, coincidentally, is the moment I have been waiting for.

"This is for you, Dad."

I stare down the sludge villain as he continues his random rampage, looking for any weaknesses to exploit, except his body (if it's even one) is literal sludge. Every part: his arms, legs, neck, head, eyes, hands—

Wait a minute...

His eyes! They're solid, and extremely exposed.

Before I moved, I saw the other Pro Heroes: Kamui Woods, Backdraft, Death Arms, and a new Pro Hero named Mount Lady, who debuted on the day of the field trip; her Quirk, Gigantification, allows her to grow to an immense size. All of them were just... standing there. They're doing almost nothing about this! Why? Why are they not helping Kacchan?! Is this how... corrupt the heroes are nowadays? I don't believe this... You know what, I don't have time for this, I guess I'll have to do their dirty work. Besides, Kacchan is running out of air. Quickly.

And so I webbed the sludge villain's right eye from the roof.

"AH!! My eye!!!"

Everyone, even the heroes, were confused as to what happened to the sludge villain (seriously, his name is starting to get too repetitive), so why not make my grand debut? I leaped, landing in front of the villain and sending a roundhouse kick to his other eye.

"AAAHHHH!!!" he howled painfully, letting go of Kacchan's face, allowing him to breathe again in huffs and puffs. He looked at me.

"Huh? Who are you?" he asked between breaths, after which I chose to answer truthfully.

"I'm the one... who's going to save you."

My Spider-Sense is tingling. Wh—

"Eh? Another hero?! Who are you supposed to be?!"

The sludge villain regained his sight, and now he's looking at me. And did I mention he looks a little bigger?

"Okay, you get a different answer," I sassed before webbing Kacchan and pulling him out. "I'm the one... who's going to end you."

"WHY YOU—ARGH!" he exclaimed as I webbed his eye... again.

"You're gonna pay for that!"

He then sent a tendril at me, which I front flipped over to avoid. I then sent an axe kick to his left eye, hurting him a lot.

"ARGH! MY EYE!!"

This fight goes on for about another minute, but it doesn't prevent me from hearing the crowd's murmuring.

"Woah, is that a new hero?!"

"I've never seen him before."

"I kinda like the costume."

"Who is that hero?"

He deserves this. Everything I'm doing to him. I saw a large piece of rubble on the ground, so I used my webs like a sling to throw it at the villain's left eye, which looked very red from the damage it already took.
