Things Keep Changing (reboot)

01. Pro Hero Life

"Shit! Zero flank it!"

"I know! Shut the fuck up, Icy Hot!!"

It was another day in the life of being a Pro Hero and currently two of the most well known in all of Japan were engaged in a fight against an enormous reptilian monstrosity. The creature stood roughly fifteen meters tall, a true titan within the city — it was covered head to toe in dark thick scales, its claws were razor sharp, its eyes yellow and piercing. It was like a beast straight out of a monster movie.

Shouto stood on top of a building, ready to fight. Currently he and Bakugou, aka Ground Zero, were the only two around that had suitable Quirks to handle putting up a fight with it. His eyes were locked on the creature, unsure if it was a person whose Quirk went out of control, if it was some wierd monster, or something else entirely... Right now nobody could tell — the beast only roared and growled like a feral animal.

Bakugou flew at the beast's face and let off an explosion, blasting it with enough power to make it fall backwards. Shards of glass and chunks of rubble crumbled away from the building, hurling down to the street below. Shouto jumped into action — other Heroes and police were still within the area getting citizens and victims evacuated.

The Hero made a slide of ice and propelled himself down below the falling debris. He aimed his left hand out and emitted dangerously hot flames, unleashing his Flash Fire Hell Spider attack inherited from Endeavor, incinerating the falling glass into nothing but dust and slicing through the stone so it was nothing but gravel. Once the people below were out of harms way from anything that could crush them, Shouto focused solely on the monster, maneuvering over to it and swiping his right hand at it, encasing it's legs in dense ice. The ice spread up across its body, coating it until only it's head was free of it.

Once frozen, Shouto boosted himself upward using both fire and ice. He landed on top of a building, one tall enough that it over looked the captured creature. Taking a moment to look across the city, Shouto could clearly see the path of destruction that it had taken. Numerous buildings had taken severe damage, many of which had been completely obliterated.

"This thing caused so much destruction..." he muttered, dropping his eyes to the incapacitated monster.

"Hey! Will that hold it!"

Shouto lifted his eyes as Bakugou yelled over their earpiece communicators. He was atop a slightly smaller building across the street from himself and closer to the monster. Shouto pressed the button on the small device in his ear to respond. "It should hold it. Reptiles are cold blooded so I'm hoping it'll be too slow and weak to get free," he replied, turning his focus back to the monster.

"Well what the fuck are we supposed to do with it now? This thing is the size of a goddamn building."

"Hmm..." Shouto crouched down on the ledge, tapping his chin as he thought. "All we can really do right now is wait and think up a plan. It might shrink, turn back into a human form, or something.." he said to himself, off the communicators.

"Hey! Did you guys get that thing contained yet!?" Kirishima shouted over the headsets.

"For now," Bakugou replied, keeping his eyes on it. "This thing was a pain but right now Icy Hot managed to keep it still."

"It's contained for the time being. How are the evacuations going?" Shouto questioned.

"Things are as good as they can be. With an attack like this the body count should be much higher," Momo answered over the radio. "You both are doing an excellent job at keeping it in the evacuated area."

Shouto smiled at his girlfriend's words. They always paired up during disasters such as this, and hearing that she seemed to be okay and still helping others put a portion of his mind at ease. "Thanks, Creati," he replied over the head seat, his eyes still focused on the beast. "We're probably going to need more Heroes here-"
