CHAPTER START---

"Something doesn't seem right here," Horizon says as the helicopter lands.

As they touchdown at the very edge of the Mt. Fuji Forest, both he and Endeavor step out.

Only two other people were here, Ryukyu, the dragon hero, and Best Jeanist, the fibre hero.

Standing in a small clearing at the start of this trail, with the completely dark forest ahead of them.

"What doesn't feel right?" Endeavor asks, he'd changed into his Hero Costume but kept his jacket out, just to keep the flames covered so they could properly approach.

The flames on his body were also off at the moment.

As the four Heroes meet up, with everyone aside from Horizon having a flashlight to navigate the forest, they can feel the cold night air warming up as Endeavor stands beside them.

"Has anything happened while we were waiting?" Endeavor asks his peers.

"Can't tell, we can hardly see anything," Ryukyu says. "The others should be here within the hour so we can get this strike started."

"First we need to find the base," Jeanist cuts in. "The people that were climbing the mountain only spotted Kurogiri and Dabi here, deep in the forest, but they saw them close to the trail and not near any clear base of operations."

"I see," Endeavor nods then turns to Horizon. "Do you sense anything?"Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.com

They all looks over to Horizon, seeing him completely facing the forest and ignoring them, to them he looked like a statue, devoid of any emotion or struggle thanks to his visor and relaxed posture.

But below that his mind was in immense pain as he was forced to process every leaf, tree, rock, everything for 14km in every direction.

Eventually he stops and catches his breath, keeping his composure to appear perfect and strong, the ideal hero.

"I found something, Shambles..."

All four of them immediately warp toward the mountain, appearing in large clearing that's torn up as if it were a dig site.

"Hng," Ryukyu stumbles and catches herself on Endeavor as her heels dig into the soft worked dirt. "A little warning next time please."

"He never gives a warning," Endeavor grumbles as he helps her up, "and yes, it is always that annoying."

As Horizon is walking around Jeanist takes out his phone to check their position, "he warped us 12km away from where we were. What did you find?"

"Look at this," Horizon says, and they all look over to him, seeing him looking down at the ground. But unlike them he didn't have any light, he was simply standing in the dark looking at the floor.

"Does your visor come with night vision?" Endeavor asks as they walk over with the flashlights.

"No."

"Do you naturally have night vision?" Ryukyu asks, now getting a bit creeped out by how strange Horizon is.

"No, just looks at this rock."

As they flash the lights onto the rocks, they notice its a large stone perfectly cut, with the other section missing.

"Was there a fight here?" Jeanist asks, looking around at the torn up dirt surrounding them. "This place does look like a battlefield."

"No this isn't from combat," Horizon says. "This rock wasn't cut by conventional means, its a spatial cut."

"Like yours."

"I can hear it, keep the call open."

"False defenders of hypocrites! Monsters no different from me, but allowed to exist because your government deems your violence as profitable!

Government sponsored thugs and killers!

And now two guests have come to this fraudulent nation of false idols, two kings of their own lands, visiting the kingdom of a fallen lord, a broken symbol!"

"How far away are you two?" Pantu asks.

"Horizon flew ahead but he's atleast two hours away, we aren't even at UA yet ourselves."

"Now to welcome these visitors to our unfair society, to greet them by letting them revel in their true violent nature.

Your two Kings, against our Rook!"

Shigaraki's voice stops for a moment, then All For One's sickly and deep voice echoes like thunder across the skyline.

"Gigantomachia, as Shigaraki says," the pre-recorded message commands.

"Kill Buakaw and Hodori! Show the other nations how hospitable this land truly is!"

"R̴̡̛͈̝͋̈́̀̌Ä̸͓̱̊̉͋̈́̃́̆̅̔̀̒̆͆͠A̶̛̱̰̺͚̯̰̹͋̂̉͛̿̂̌͠͝͝Â̸̢͈̗͎̗̰̭̻̖̠̺̱͕̟̗̟͎̭̗̰͖͐̓̾̎̽̏̂̀̍̈̏̀͂̏͛̽͒Ä̷̛̪͕̺̠̹̠͍̫̫̺̯́̐̈́̒̽͂̔̉̆̏͐͊͛̊̓͊͗̅͘͝͝ͅR̶̛̥̟̲̫̺̣̟͖̳̳̞̬̳̻͎͉͕̼̽͊͗̉̀̃̂͗̌̎́̾̈̑̄̀̄̈͘̕͠W̴̰͇͍̥̓̆͛̒͆̇̄͒̋̋͐̎͂̋̋͘͘̚͝W̸̡̛͍͚͉͍̰̼̮̩͖͖̦̏̃̀̇̋̓̔͂̂̍͗̋͗̆̌͂͒̅͋͘W̴̢̬͓͙͚͚͍͓̫̏̾̈̽̒̉̇̎̅̎͒̿́̀̽̚W̷̛̠̔́̄͐̈̃͑͋̈́̍̏͂̈́̕!̸̢̧̝͇̤͍͇̹̯̺͎̤̲̔̑̅̌͋̐̚̕!̶̛͍̽̎̎̄̽͌͛̋̇̊͝!̸̧̥̱̣̺̹̖̗̼̪͙̪̥̠̥͇̐̋͑͒̓̄̐͌̈͌͆̊̽͂͗̚̕͝͝͠"

A thundering roar causes most of the city to recoil in terror as something leaps out of the Warp Gate.

A giant with slightly tan skin, only standing at 12m tall as he lands into a nearby skyscraper like a cannonball, brining down the entire building and killing hundreds through sheer destruction.

The quakes shake her, and dust block Pantu's view, then the screams and destruction truly begin.

"Get here, now," even now her voice remains completely cold as she speaks to Endeavor.

Beyond her line of sight the fight instantly begins as nearby heroes throw themselves at the monster.

Before long Machia is already growing, now standing at 20 meters tall, a hulking frame with a mound of muscle on his back, like a living mountain.

A body covered in rough skin and a head of spiky brown hair. And most importantly, specially made pants that expand with him.

And as a few insignificant Pro Heroes were feebly trying to poke the giant, he stands up straight and leans back, taking in a deep breath through his nose.

"Heroes!" Machia screams as he immediately drops down to all fours and charges directly at Buakaw and Hodori's scent.

"Ma'am we need to leave," one of Pantu's security agents urges her as she scowls at the path of destruction moving toward her, tearing through multiple buildings.

"Get those two out of here first, before they---" she says, only to be met by her worst case scenario to become reality.

"We aren't leaving, he only wants us, evacuate the others," Buakaw says, already standing behind her. And by the time she turns around he simply jumps off the roof toward the fight.

"C'mon," Hodori gives her a playful look, "did you really think we'd take that no-combat order from our countries seriously, in a situation like this? Who cares what some stuffy people in suits want, we're heroes."

"No, we can't afford to---"

"You worry too much lady," Hodori cackles as he leaps off the roof. "Its time to have some fun!"

Pantu could feel her blood pressure rising by the second, keeping her stone faced façade as the battle begins. And only a few streets away in a dust cloud, a flash of gold causes her to squint as Machia is sent tumbling down the street.

And all the tremors caused by Buakaw's punch didn't make her feel any better, especially when Machia gets back up and charges back in.

'These idiots, having a few thousand people die is nothing compared to the consequences of having them fight, even if they win...I really wish we had another All Might,' Pantu thinks.

And just like that, the next stage in All For One's glorious plan begins, another domino is set...
