CHAPTER START---

"Is this why you brought me along?" Ryukyu asks, currently in her dragon form soaring through the cold night sky.

Above Tokyo prefecture, they were currently heading toward the countryside, where a few private runways and hangars were located.

But as the woman was flying, she had Horizon sitting on her back. Sword and Hoverboard at his side as he uses the hologram projected by the watch Mei gave him, finding more information on their target.

"What are you talking about?" Horizon asks, his voice only reaching her through their advanced communication devices, otherwise, the wind would overpower them.

"Do you know how many people ask me to give them a ride each week?"

"Don't see how that's my problem, or why they'd care."

"Everyone wants to ride a dragon," Ryukyu was clearly annoyed just thinking about it.

"My Hoverboard is faster than you for the record, I'm just doing this so I can focus on getting more research. Also, you aren't a dragon."

"Excuse me, I'm literally a dragon right now!"

"Nope, can't breathe fire. Not a dragon, just a lizard with wings..."

"I am a dragon, you're being ridiculous."

"When you can breathe fire, then you can call yourself a dragon."

"Mmm," Ryukyu grumbles. "I'm not taking criticism on how accurate the name of my Quirk is, from a guy that names his 'Hand of God', atleast mine isn't offensive."

"Rather arrogant to assume it refers to your god, don't you think?"

"Rather arrogant to call yourself a god, don't you think?"

"Yeah but unlike you, mine is accurate, plus I'm only 16. I've barely begun tapping into what my Quirk can do, but you're 26 and can't even breathe fire...dragon, sure."

"Ugh, that's not how dragons work! I literally look and fight like a dragon!"

"Just a gecko with wings Kyukyu."

"How are you so annoying?!"

"Practice..."

"Ugh!" Ryukyu groans. "Did you atleast find anything on there?"

"Yeah, got an ID for our actual target, the distributor was coming in for a meeting with the head of an underground chemicals lab."

"Drug lab?"

"Nope, think C4 + Nerve Agents..."

"What? How has this guy gone unnoticed until now?"

"Because he pays the right people and has discrete, professional clients," including Arsenal for the past decade. "But we're on him now, he's done."

"If he's so insulated then how'd you find him?"

"Because I know people who know people too," Horizon says.

He'd made a few calls around the underworld and unsurprisingly, a lot of people weren't a fan of this newly weaponized version of Trigger being used on their men without their permission.

He simply chose the wrong test subjects. Pissed off the wrong people, and they offered him up to Horizon.

"Well then, let's hope your connections are as reliable as you are."

"I got a name for his jet," Horizon says as they see the runway in the distance. "It's...the one that just took off..."

"Oh please, you don't survive the underworld as long as him without being able to take some lukewarm police questioning," Horizon immediately reaches out and grabs the man by the shirt. "Tell me about the trigger, or I'll drop you."

"Drop me?" The man asks.

Horizon immediately lifts him up with one hand and holds him out above the ocean.

"Horizon!" Ryukyu calls out, about to intervene. "That's enough!"

"Just stay back and watch!" Horizon's tone actually makes her quiet down immediately. "This is how you get results."

"No, you can't do this!" The man screams while nearly trying to wrap his entire body around Horizon's outstretched arm. "You're a Hero, you aren't allowed to do this!"

"Idiot, you're a villain. Nobody really cares about you, plus. I'm not just a Hero, I'm Horizon. That means I, can do whatever I want, now, talk."

"I'll lose my business if I talk!" The man screams out, still holding on for dear life.

"Hmm, true. And I see that you're a man of your word. I can respect that, but so am I."

"WhAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" the man's confusion becomes terror as Horizon drops him over the side.

Ryukyu raises her wings, ready to fly down and save him, only for Horizon to turn around before she can do anything.

"You stay put!" he commands, pointing directly at her. And she wisely obeys.

"He's scared enough you can warp him back up now!" Ryukyu insists.

"Don't be silly," Horizon says, then a moment later he warps the initial card back into his hand. Then throws is onto the sidewalk. "Shambles."

The broken villain warps onto the floor. Both legs were broken and one arm was twisted, covered in freezing cold seawater, some of which he was coughing up.

Reaching down, to the villain and Ryukyu's horror. Horizon grabs him by a broken leg and holds him over the railing.

"Another dip?"

"I'll talk! I'll talk!" the man immediately cracks. "It was some kind of contest."

"Contest?"

"Lots of labs around the world were supposedly in on it! Strongest Trigger formula gets the money, but I lost!"

"What else do you know about it?"

"A lab from Europe may have won but it was all anonymous! I swear that's all I know! Please believe me!"

"I believe you," Horizon tosses the man onto the sidewalk.

And with this little experience, it all clicked in Ryukyu's mind.

She knew this was what the media would never see, what she'd never tell them for fear of angering Horizon or his followers.

But this was the truth.

'Guardian Deity', it sounds so majestic and benevolent.

It was the façade he plays for the cameras.

But now she knows better, Horizon isn't that kind of god.

He's all old testament.

Fire, blood, rage.

Results by any means necessary.

And when a man has potentially enough power to fight the world...it's very hard to sleep at night knowing he's out there... knowing that should he ever switch sides, you'd be on the short list of people sent to bring him down.

Sent to die against him...
