CHAPTER START---

---6 Am...

Driving on the highway between Musutafu where UA is and Tokyo, Law is sitting comfortably in the front seat of his new Rolls Royce Suv, bought yesterday simply out of necessity.

There was hardly any traffic, at least not on his side. The morning rush was always heading into Tokyo, fortunately, he was driving the other way, toward Musutafu.

Taking a bite of his morning meal bar his head nods along to the soft music in his car, clearing his mind and trying to relax a bit after the past three weeks of none stop heroics.

In the trunk was a large black and yellow duffel bag. Within this was his case containing his Hero Costume, his box of new visors, his sword, and his hoverboard.

Suddenly Law's music cuts off as his car receives a call through his phone.

"Answer," he commands, and the call connects.

"How long until you get here?" Nezu asks through the phone.

"Maybe ten minutes, I'm almost in Musutafu already."

"Are you driving?" Nezu asks, sounding confused.

"Yeah, what about it?"

"You have a hoverboard as fast as any commercial plane, just fly between cities."

"Yeah but I just bought this car and I'd like to have some fun with it, that's all."

"Ahh, sometimes I forget you're still a child, and children like toys."

Law rolls his eyes, "if that's what you want to call my cars and jets and guns, sure."

"What guns?" Nezu sounded concerned, "Law Matani doesn't have a firearms license."

"Relax, I keep em at home, I have a holographic range in my yard."

"You keep illegal firearms in your home, you do realize how serious of an offense that is, right?"

"How would anyone ever know?"

"What if they hear you using them?"

"I own everything for a kilometer around my house and there isn't any other property or even a usable beach in that mountainside..."

"What if someone hears you anyway?"

"Ok...and what cop is ever going to execute a warrant to raid the Matani Estate, I didn't donate 200 million to their pension and relief fund just because I like cops, they fuck with me and that money stops flowing.

Plus, it also lets me actually use my cars and not have to worry about speeding tickets, Matani vehicles are untouchable."

"That is such a gross misuse of the system," Nezu scoffs.

"Says the dealmaker himself..."

Nezu sighs, "ok, that's fair. So, what car did you buy this time? That bike you were looking at?"

"Rolls Royce SUV, I like nice and comfortable things."

"You bought that for personal use? I thought you only chartered the armor ones for public appearances."

"Yeah well, normally I stick with the 'family car', it was already a tight fight when I got it. But now I'm 195cm -6ft4- and 265lbs -120kg-, it's a bit uncomfortable.

Plus those things have like no trunk space, and my sword is like a whole other person. It's like having Asui laying down stiff in my trunk..."

"Odd choice of measurement, but ok, I see your point, but I can't relate since I'm tiny and adorable."

"According to you."

"Yes, according to the smartest person on the planet," Nezu says, and Law rolls his eyes.

"That still hasn't once beat me in chess."

"That's a low blow, you know that's unfair."

"Whatever, anything else?"

"I saw your big drug bust in the news, very impressive, although the video you posted showing how you dealt with the warehouse situation was very..."

"What?"

"Let's just say, some of your assassination training was showing, it didn't look very heroic."

But Kamui also immobilized himself since he can't detach from his wooden creations, they are his arms after all.

"Mt. Lady!" Kamui screams out, snapping her out of her daze just in time to dodge a shoulder charge from the other villain.

Stepping to the side she lowers her head and charges at him, before leaping up and slamming into his side with a devastating dropkick.

The crack of his ribs echoes for a hundred meters causing all the onlookers to wince in pain.

All while the other villain was constantly slamming his restrained hands into the forest floor, failing to break apart the wooden cuffs.

Looking up from Kamui Woods stuck to his hands and over to his brother, he sees Mt. Lady slam her shoulder into his gut after a devastating charge and pick him up, then slam him into the ground.

BOOM!

All the cars jump an inch off the road and the quakes ripple out.

Mt. Lady and the villain are suddenly in a wrestling match, trying to restrain each other, but exactly as Horizon warned Sato...wrestling doesn't work in a street fight.

The villain restrained by Kamui Woods breaks into a full sprint and leaps high into the air, aiming both his feet down at Mt. Lady's head.

"Mt. Lady!" Kamui yells out, still attached to the villain.

She looks up just in time to see both feet only twenty meters above her face as the other villain tries to hold her still.

"CURTAIN!"

A blue dome forms just in front of her face, covering her entirely and catching the full weight of the dropkick without even cracking.

Horizon had appeared on the scene, swapped for a piece of rubble in her hair, now standing atop her long blonde hair.

One hand outstretches toward the sky and projecting this large Curtain from his palm.

Seeing him the villain immediately leaps off the shield, turning around in mid-air and landing, breaking into a full sprint in the opposite direction, heading toward Mustutafu only one mile away, back where this chase began.

"Seriously?" Horizon asks nobody in particular as his Curtain drops, then simply summons his sword to his hands and slashes outward.

"Amputate!" the gigantified man's legs detach from the knees downward and his face smashes into the forest floor.

He groans in pain the quickly comes to the horrific realization that his legs were missing.

As one giant is panicking Horizon hops down to Mt. Lady's shoulder and gets closer to the other.

The man was still pinned by the woman and completely frozen in fear, now face to face with Japan's Mystery Class Monster.

"So...you gonna surrender or do I need to cut you up too?"

The man immediately shrinks down to his regular size, sheepishly nodding the entire time.

As the other giant is panicking over his severed legs Mt. Lady just gives Horizon a cute pout. "We had that under control you know, you didn't have to come in at the last moment like that to take the credit..."

"If I thought you had it handled I wouldn't have gotten involved," Horizon hops off her shoulder and summons his hoverboard under her feet, staying at level with her face.

He gives the people on the highway a polite wave as the remaining villain shrinks down and surrenders to Kamui.

"Thank you for the help Horizon," Kamui says as he approaches them and hops up onto her other shoulder, both the villains quickly restrained at regular sized by his wooden limbs. "Your assistance was greatly appreciated."

"No problem, but hey, I'm kinda late for something, so you don't mind handling the paperwork on this, right? I'll send a report later..."

"What?" Kamui asks, "but this was technically a Team-Up, we need to have a combined re---"

"Great. Thanks. See ya!" Horizon warps away, swapping for one of his cards before that too disappears.

He arrives back into his car without anybody noticing, too busy taking pictures of the Pro Heroes.

"He was a lot nicer last time we met him," Mt. Lady mutters as she shrinks back down. "Now he's sticking us with most of the paperwork..."

"We should be thankful he was here, that kick would have been very bad if it did connect," Kamui gestures to the two unconscious villains in his grasp. "Now let's hand these two over to the police, how about we get some Dango then head home?"

"That sounds great!" Her mood suddenly becomes happy at the mention of food, especially when she's not paying. "Let go!" she begins marching away.

And Kamui can't help but appreciate the little victorious strut she does, taking in her assets for a moment before catching up to her.

'We've been heroes for years and the public is only now recognizing us, but people like Horizon show up and suddenly we're nobody again' he thinks to himself, rather sadly, realizing his ambition of being in the top 5 is unlikely to happen.

Looking over to Mt. Lady happily walking beside him he can't help but admire her, even with her torn-up suit, bloody and bruised face, and all the dirt and debris in her hair.

Absolutely beautiful.

"Maybe this is enough..." he mutters absentmindedly.

She immediately turns to him, "enough what?"

"Huh...I mean, enough hero work for today," he says quickly. "So, what flavor are you trying tonight..."
