CHAPTER START---

SHAMBLES!

Horizon warps back into the back of a disguised police van, filled with monitors and other devices to coordinate efforts on this raid.

Both officers from the meeting earlier were sitting with their headsets on, watching the screens, patiently waiting as everyone gets into their positions.

Majestic and the students were closing in on the building while the officers already formed a perimeter on nearby rooftops.

Both commanders look over at Horizon as he sits beside them, only to see him with a large cardboard box, gently placing it down on an empty table.

"Got everyone breakfast for after this is done," he says. "It's from this place with great egg sandwiches, hope nobody is allergic."

"You went to get breakfast?" one of the men asks. "I thought you were preparing for the raid too."

"Prepare? I'm already here, not much else to do," Horizon shrugs as he leans back in his chair.

"Sorry if that came off as an insult," the other man says. "It's just, we've even worked with All Might before, and you're very...carefree, compared to what we're used to."

"I took no offense from it, it's understandable to those who don't have the full picture," Horizon says. "But if you had Hand of God, you'd understand. See my Quirk can be flashy, but the most useful aspects of it are all subtle.

Like the fact that all my cards are outside so if anyone gets hurt I can instantly warp them away. Or the fact that I can feel everything that happens in and around the raid, down to the individual hairs on each person swaying in the wind.

From here, if every gun in that building was fired at once, I could hold every bullet in place with a thought, but if I really wanted to help I'd just stop the triggers and firing pins from moving like I usually do.

So trust me, I'm only this 'seemingly' carefree, because my mind is constantly combing over the entire situation each second, keeping everyone safe."

"Wow."

"It's starting," the other officer says as Team Horizon enters the building and Team Majestic breaks into the tunnel.

After the first tense minute of everything going perfectly, the first officer glances over at Horizon, seeing him still relaxed, "so, can I ask a question?"

"Sure."

"Can you Quirk really do anything?"

"In theory, but it's not in the way most people think. Normally people imagine it like I can just wish for something to happen and it happens, but that's usually not the case."

"Usually?" the second man asks.

"Sometimes you just get lucky," Horizon shrugs. "But it's more like it manipulates the world to my will, but the different things I manipulate are each a skill that must be perfected."

"So even you can't create something from nothing?"

"Not even 'Genesis' can do that," Horizon gestures to the screen.

"So is there a limit?" the man asks. "I mean, you did lose to All For One before."

"It was more like a tie if anything since I'm sure he was asleep for days just like me after that fight, plus if he didn't have months to prepare then ambush me before I knew he existed...I would have won. But still, that was 7 months ago, I'm on an entirely different level now."

"Hmm, what about the doctor thing," the second man asks, glancing away from the monitors for a moment, "can you really heal anything? Because I've had this back pain for a while now and---"

BANG!

The sound of a gun going off causes both men to get startled and scan through the monitors.

"Crap, the kid got shot!" One of them yells.

"Nothing to be alarmed about," Horizon says. "If I sensed the bullet would be lethal, I would have stopped it..."

---Minutes Earlier...

"I wonder what's taking him so long, he's almost late," Cellophane says.

He was leaning against the back wall of the gang hideout, out of sight alongside Simon, who had three rolls strapped to his back.

They had a similar appearance to black yoga mats but slightly wider.

"Maybe the tunnel had some more guards than we expected," Simon says.

"Nah, he would have alerted us."

"You don't have to be that worried you know, we won't make you look bad in front of your girlfriend."

"Oh I'm not worried about that, she loves me."

"Careful now, with that ego you're starting to sound like Horizon, but if I were you I would be very worried."

Cellophane gives him a curious look, "why do you say that?"

Taking a few deep breaths he focuses on his Quirk, focuses on not losing his control, now more thankful that even for all the grueling 'training' Horizon put him through to make his pain threshold that much higher.

BANG!

Another shot goes off, directly into the concrete wall at his back.

"Simon?!" Mudman yells.

"I'm fine, focus on your fight," Simon says.

He glances out from cover for only a moment, then moves back just in time for a bullet to go flying past his head.

"Seriously?! Not just using a gun, but shooting me in the back! How can you be such a coward?!"

"Well---!"

BRAINWASHING COMPLETE!

Simon breathes a sigh of relief.

"If there was anyone else on the floor with you, before me and these three came up the stairs, fire your gun into the air."

He waits for a moment, and after hearing nothing he peeks out to see the man standing there like a statue, revolver in hand.

"Honestly surprised it took this long before I got shot," Simon says with a groan as he walks up to the man, hand on the bullet hole in his shoulder. "But I'm guessing Horizon is gonna make me do a lot more training because of you...thanks a lot for that, jerk," he takes the gun from the man.

"Follow me," he commanded the men who were laying on the floor before running to the second stairwell.

As he gets to it he looks at one of the men and hands him the barricade, "seal this doorway behind us," he says, before taking the last man down the stairs with him.

After double checking to make sure the barricade was properly sealed, he speaks to his allies.

"Mudman, second floor is sealed up, I'm taking one of these guys to show me to the boss's office, I'll go collect all the data I can while you two have some fun."

"Copy, and for the record, I feel like I'm the only one on this team who doesn't see fighting villains as 'having fun'..."

"Don't be such a stick in the mud," Simon says as he rushes into the basement with his last follower.

While he was moving to the next step, on the roof Mudman and Cellophane were fighting almost two dozen men, each wielding swords.

But now both Mudman and Cellophane had taken a sword each, and were holding off the men when they got Simon's message.

"Yeah, 'stick in the mud', very funny," Mudman groans as he and Cellophane inch their way to the far wall.

All along the far wall were men either taped to it or sunken into it, there were no unconscious bodies on the floor at all, by design.

"Now!" Mudman yells out as Cellophane jumps onto the edge of the wall.

He takes this moment to crouch down and use his Softening Quirk on the entire floor.

By now all the men were aware of his Quick, especially since it wasn't much of a mystery judging from his name.

But what they didn't expect was for the floor beneath them to not have the consistency of mud, but of water.

The entire thing fell away instantly, and by running his Quirk through the small platform he left for himself to stand on, down the outer wall and through the building.

When they harshly landed on the fourth floor in the building, it immediately developed the consistency of wet mud.

"Ahh!"

The men scream as they fall down to the third floor of the building, all the columns, furniture, anything but the outer walls of the building were immediately liquified.

And as the men impacted the third floor, that too fell away beneath their feet, dropping them directly down to the second floor, with up to their shoulders in gray muddy water.

The window of the buildings break as liquified matter begins flowing out, but the sealed doors ensure it stayed at atleast waist level.

"Net Shots!" Cellophane yells out as he launches some premade nets of take from his suit, blanketing the either group in it and making it more difficult for them to get up.

"Looks like pretty much everyone is standing up now, no risk of them suffocating," Mudman says as he deactivated his Quirk, instantly returning all the liquified matter to its solid state, locking the men in place.

As the men are complaining about being entirely stuck in concrete, as if it were poured over them and hardened instantly, Mudman and Cellophane look at each other and nod.

"Pretty good plan huh?" Mudman asks.

"Making a four story building into a concrete swimming pool, didn't know you could do that."

"You two aren't the only ones making progress you know, I was a recommended student after all."

"Oh yeah, you're so normal that sometimes I forget," Cellophane shrugs. "Now let's get to the boss fight before team Majestic..." he leaps off the building and swings down to the main entrance in a hurry.

Mudman rolls his eyes as he softens the wall behind him, then softens a handhold before sliding down by constantly softening the wall below his hand while hardening the wall above him.

"And then he wonders why Horizon was so hesitant to let him team up with her..."

END CHAPTER---

Lost my sanity and found it back rewriting this fight, hence the chapter being a bit later, sorry about that...
