CHAPTER START---

"So how does that work exactly?" Edgeshot asks Tsukuyomi.

They were both sitting on a rooftop overlooking a massive warehouse, but even from here Tsukuyomi stretched Dark Shadow in a thin line through the night sky. It extended over to the warehouse roof, and was looking inside.

"I can extend my senses through Dark Shadow, but it has limits, and takes focus," Tsukuyomi says.

"Any movement?" Edgeshot asks as he sees on nearby rooftops other Pro Heroes begin moving in.

"The people inside haven't moved, it seems they're quite relaxed..."

"Good," Edgeshot raises a hand to his earpiece. "Our site is ready, confirm when ready."

Multiple other team leaders across Japan confirm that their assault teams are ready to enter the buildings.

"Perimeter teams?" Edgeshot asks.

"Ready," Mt. Lady is the first to respond, and he looks across a few rooftops to see her in position.

He receives confirmation from other heroes from the various locations as well.

"Alright, we go loud in 30 seconds," Edgeshot says.

He nods to Tsukuyomi as the countdown begins, and the boy retracts Dark Shadow, returning the nod.

Tsukuyomi mentally commands Dark Shadow to cloak his body, acting as armor and muscle on his exposed skin and head while four glowing red eyes cover his organic eyes, giving him a full mask.

"The kids these days are scary," Edgeshot mutters.

"Only for villains," Tsukuyomi speaks, and it sounds as if two voices were crudely mixed together.

"I know, that's why you're working with me after this."Updated chapters at novelhall.com

"What?"

Edgeshot shrugs, "Cellophane told me you aren't working with Hawks anymore, so, why not? You don't want to?"

"No it's just, I'm honored, thank you," Tsukuyomi says.

"I'm sure you'll fit right in..."

As Edgeshot says that, the timer finishes and everyone moves at once.

He flattens himself into a drill with the width of a pistol bullet and rockets through the air, almost breaking the sound barrier as he punches a thin hole through the warehouse.

Moving faster than anyone else there, he was the first to get inside.

'Hmm, Foldabody, the superior version to Tiger's Pliabody. It looks a bit odd up close,' Tsukuyomi thinks.

'The ability to manipulate your body and become paper thin, or fold yourself like origami. If I recall correctly Egypt's #1 Pro Her can flatten himself as thin as paper, but he's not very useful outside of running faster. If Edgeshot went there he'd easily take his title.'

His thoughts are interrupted as automatic gunfire goes off inside the warehouse.

He focuses on Dark Shadow, enhancing its vision so he can see through the small windows, but all he sees inside is chaos.

Bodies were flying about, with fire and electricity flashing ever so often.

"Mt. Lady, runners at the side entrance," Edgeshot says through the communicator.

Tsukuyomi glances to the side in time to see Mt. Lady jump off the rooftop and activate her Quirk, growing while falling to break her fall.

Seconds later a 20.68m -67ft 8- tall Mt. Lady is rushing to the side of the building.

"Tsukuyomi, the roof," Edgeshot commands, and he sees two villains punch their way through the warehouse roof and land atop it.

Tsukuyomi leaps off his rooftop and flies over using Dark Shadow, and before they can even notice, their attention is already fixed on Mt. Lady at the side of the building.

He crashes into one of them, kicking the man in the arm.

"Ah--!" the man yells as he goes tumbling across the large rooftop, immediately knocked unconscious.

BANG!

Tsukuyomi is shot in the back by the other man, but Dark Shadow resides between his Hero Costume and his skin.

With this new Hero Costume that Horizon suggested, made from an extremely elastic material, he could keep Dark shadow below the surface, hidden in the dark to act as armor and gather strength.

---At The Same Time, Tokyo...

Stepping out of a heavily tinted car, Shigaraki and Dabi look around the mostly empty warehouse they're in.

They see two men standing behind a woman, eyeing them suspiciously.

The men were wearing simple suits while the woman wore a grey dress, her striking features softened as she eyed Shigaraki.

Dabi wore his standard black pants and white t-shirt, now with a new black coat.

And in front of him, Shigaraki wore a similar outfit, but with a black t-shirt and a larger, fur-lined coat.

"You said you had something interesting for me," Shigaraki says.

"Yes, a very rare thing, mutual interests," she says, all while eyeing him seductively. "I represent a group that wants a foothold into Japan, and you may be exactly the way we get it."

"Keep talking."

"We're prepared to fund your movement with weapons and other war materials you need," she says. "And judging by the fact that you came here by car and not Warp Gate, I'd say you require more support."

"And what would we have to do?" Shigaraki asks. "I assume its something impossible."

"For most, yes, but not for you," she licks her lips. "Because you are powerful, truly powerful..."

Dabi looks between the woman and Shigaraki, not at all used to people being interested in his boss, at least not like this.

"Keep talking."

"We can call a meeting of top-ranking politicians, Pro Heroes, and businessmen. All we need is for you to put five fingers down nearby and clear the board. That makes way for our people to swoop in and get a stranglehold of Japan's economy.

In exchange for that, you get a large war chest to fund your plans to dominate Japan, and we get to sell off assets for many times more than we bought them for after you take over, everyone wins."

"And what about you?" Shigaraki asks. "What do you want, personally?"

She pauses for a moment, never having been asked this before by anyone she's been sent to meet.

They lock eyes for an intense minute before she seductively walks up to him and rests an arm on his shoulder, leaning forward.

"I want to see what the most powerful villain in the world is really capable of," she barely gets the words out before their lips meet.

Dabi uses all the willpower he has not to react as he's forced to awkwardly stand there and endure this entire event.

After they part, and she catches her breath, Shigaraki speaks.

"And what happens if I don't want to play along?"

She looks a bit confused by that, "Well, I'll tell my boss we need to get someone else to do it, and hopefully, you and I can go have dinner, or skip dinner..."

"Hmm, I thought as much," Shigaraki puts both hands on her hips and pulls her body against his. "You said you wanted to see what the most powerful villain in the world was capable of, right?"

He can feel her shivering from excitement in his arms, "yes, oh god yes..."

"Well, that villain, is Horizon."

"What---?"

FWOOM!

Two blasts of blue fire incinerated her men before they could react.

"What are you doing?" she tries to get away from Shigaraki but he easily holds her in place. Long enough for Dabi to walk up and kick her in the side of the knee, shattering it.

"Ahhh!" she screams as Shigaraki lets her fall.

"Tempting, very tempting," Shigaraki says. "Both you and that plan, but I can't have anyone giving Japan a reason to call Horizon back onto board. The longer that monster is trapped in UA the better."

Shigaraki turns and begins walking to the car while Dabi drags her by her hair behind him.

"We'll rip the answers we need out of your head at base, then if you're still interested we'll skip dinner," Shigarkai says as Dabi tosses her into the trunk. "Right now, I just don't need anyone doing something stupid to get Horizon back onto the field. I need these precious few months to build my arm..."

Dabi slams the trunk shut and they both get back into the car.

As the driver pulls out onto the street and they begin moving, Dabi looks over at his boss.

"So, is this how all your first dates go, or is she just that special?"

Shigaraki rolls his eyes, "you'd better not tell anyone about this."

"We both know I'm telling everyone about this..."
