Sprinting with full speed, he stops as he got closer to the police barricade that formed to block off the civilians from harming themselves. With how many busy-bodies that were blocking his sights, he had to get to a better spot.
Looking around, he quickly jogged to the fire escape that connected the ground to the rooftops of a 5-story building. With a better view over the situation, he licked his dry lips as he observed.
The whole battlefield was burning, flames everywhere even as pressurized water blasted towards the giant titan of a man, gunning towards the direction of the water, crashing into a building and shattering the whole area without a scratch on him.
Muscular was HUGE, he’d reckon taller than even All Might, towering over the two heroes who wore the same costume, only difference being the gender. His body was shrouded with pink fibers of muscle, very obvious what his Quirk was, pulsing as the pavement that contacted his fist exploded from the impact.
Super Strength, got it. And since the Quirk is related to his Muscles, then that meant that Super Speed and Durability should be considered as well. He’ll need to hit from the inside instead of the outside then, doubts that muscle augmentation applied to internal organs.
But where was the hostage? Shouldn’t there be one from what the radio said?
Seeing no potential hostages other than the two heroes, he fished out his Sonic Howl device and aimed towards the charging villain. His eyes glanced at the amount of charge it had before mentally slapping himself. Only 27% He forgot to charge it last night after the Omnitrix’s deactivation.
He rummaged through his items on hand. Crap, he didn’t restock too, it’s always during the important times. 4 fire charges, his flamethrower had a few seconds of fuel left, a smokescreen bomb, and his sonic howl that had about 7 shots left at full power.
The two heroes started dancing around, dodging and firing from a safe distance away. This only caused Muscular to get more annoyed from his facial expression, as more muscles grew out from his skin, ew.
But, this should be easy to handle even with his limited gear. From what he’d seen, Muscular had no ranged abilities —
Muscular suddenly smashed the ground beneath him, causing the dust and debris around him to rise like a smokescreen that spread like wildfire. The water themed heroes started blasting randomly to try and hit the villain only for an arm to shoot out, grabbing the female hero in the throat.
Even with an elevated position, he couldn’t see from the smokescreen as he could only watch as Muscular wave away his homemade smokescreen, revealing his hostage. Shit, he started moving through the rooftops.
The villain said something in Japanese, as his earbuds translated it for him. Seriously, he would smooch the lips of the gremlin if it weren’t for the fact that he would be kissing himself.
[“You got out of my grasp once, little hero! Not one more time!”]
[“Let her go, you monster!”]
A burst of scalding water fired from the male hero’s gadget, but Muscular simply used the female hero as a shield as the boiling hot water burned her, with her letting out a scream of pain, skin fizzling at the contact.
[“Shit, Mizuki!”]
[“Ah, ah, ah, you better not do anything or else my fingers may… Slip.”]
He could hear the hold on the hero’s neck tighten, choking her. Daniel, in his mind roared for the hero to delay him as he dashed to the next rooftop. Just a little more…!
There!
Skidding to stop his momentum, he raised his Sonic Howl device, his mind remarked that it definitely needed a name, towards Muscular’s back, aiming to the right so that it wouldn’t hit the water hero before firing with its full blast.
Waves of high-pitched sound blasted out from his device and crashed into Muscular, the sudden shock caused him to loosen his grip on Mizuki. Thankfully, she managed to get out from Muscular’s grip and backed away instantly.
They all looked at him, as his neural connection flared.
“BLITZWOLFER!”
He yelled out before firing multiple bursts of sonic howls at full power, the sound waves pushing the villain into the ground causing cracks to form by the amount of strength behind each wave. This gave the two heroes the perfect time to back away as he continued blasting away.
Just need to get them away enough…
[“You damn mutt! Fuck you!”]
Muscular grabbed a streetlamp that laid near him before launching it towards Daniel, his augmented strength boosting its speed as a weak sonic boom shattered the ground below.
“Crap!”
Daniel barely dodged it, nicking his face with a gnarly slash, but he continued firing.
“Dude, just drag her away, dang it! You’re in the splash zone!”
He yelled at the male hero out of frustration as his finger continuously tapped the device’s trigger. Damn heroes were not getting out of the way, he can’t use his bigger guns if they linger around —
The hero, hearing his words, suddenly pulled the arm of the heroine as they quickly moved out of the way. Thank goodness, they took so damn long, huh he knows some English that’s cool —
His earbuds suddenly picked up more chatter. He frowns, more heroes were coming into the fray. Finally, some people with some sense. Could have already helped the two years ago. But he already has this in the bag.
With Muscular pinned down with full power howls, he dug into his utility belt to bring out his grenade launcher/flamethrower. The A.I. isn’t programmed to change aliens on the go, but a brief moment of fire should be fine, people can think that it’s just a new ability.
“Eat this, Fiber Man!”
With his other hand holding onto the grenade launcher/flamethrower, he fired a ball of fire charge towards Muscular. The charge impacted the villain’s skin, and he burned.
Screaming at the top of his lungs, the villain tucked and rolled, trying to get rid of the fire burning away his muscles of fiber around his body. That should do it for now, but just in case…
Hopping down to the same elevated level by dropping and hanging off of ledges, he got close to Muscular while digging through his utility belt. Taking out the remaining charges, he fired them at the burning Muscular for more damage.
“Man, I heard that you’re some big bad, but I didn’t think that fire is your kryptonite. Boringggggg.”
Doubt that he even heard it, considering that he was still screaming while trying to get rid of the fire. Tough luck, that fire is only extinguishable with a unique solvent or a whole lot of water, speaking off, where did he put the solvent —
The hairs behind his neck rose as he quickly dodged, rolling away from tendrils of muscles that shot towards him. Looking at the person responsible, he winced at the image of Muscular getting up with his muscles still burning away, but it didn’t hit the core body as the villain kept pumping out more muscle fibers.
[“Y-You fucking dog! I’LL KILL YOU! I’LL FUCKING KILL YOU!”]
Getting back up, he quickly glanced at his on-hand weapon’s remaining ammo before grinning.
“Man, if I make a dime for every threat I heard, I’d be a thousand dollars richer!”
Eh, doubts that he could hear English either way, no point trying to rile him up. Feels good to trash-talk though.
Raising his grenade launcher/flamethrower, he fired the remaining seconds of his flamethrower as he ran towards danger. At least Muscular was smart, using a pavement and car to block the charges instead of taking them head on, but the distraction gave him the opportunity to pull the pin of his smokebomb.
A burst of smoke erupted from the grenade as he darted around the chaos and near Muscular, slinging the flamethrower as his now free arm took out a brass knuckle and slotting it into his fingers.
[“RRRAHHHH!!!”]
Noticing him weaving around the chaos to get close to him, Muscular’s arm expanded with muscle fibers, his arm looming over Daniel before throwing a punch with his augmented arm, a sonic boom sounding from the speed of the strike.
But Daniel was already prepared for it. Squeezing his fingers together hardly, the brass knuckle folded outwards, forming a bracer before crystals started growing on the metal bracers, forming a gauntlet out of cyan crystals that encased his whole arm. Crouching his legs and relaxing his body, he mentally prepared himself as the fist contacts the gauntlet.
*PANGGGG!*
Gales burst from the impact that sent a wave of pressurized air around them, but Muscular stared dumbly at the crystal shield that withstood his full-powered up punch. There wasn’t even a dent on it, his punches could go through steel like butter!
Daniel, under the gauntlet however, spat out blood as he keeled slightly. Ugh, that hurt so bad! The impact of the punch transferred to him, and even if his exterior looked fine, the impact caused some damage to his internal organs.
But he didn’t bend, using the split second that Muscular gave him, he pushed the arm aside with all his strength before leaping from his position and landed on Muscular’s gigantic arm. Running towards him, Muscular snapped out of it as he tried to draw his arm back, but since it was full of muscle fibers, the arm was too heavy for him to move it.
Panicking, the man threw a quick jab towards Daniel with his free hand. The power behind it was weaker than his full-powered one though, so Daniel gritted his teeth as he used his shield to redirect the punch, using the momentum to roll away to mitigate some of the damage.
His shield arm throbbed in pain, but he was close enough. One more leap towards his destination, he landed perfectly onto the large shoulders of Muscular before pointing his Sonic Howl device towards his head. Enough charge for one last full-powered howl.
“You may be tough on the outside, but what about the inside?!”
Pushing down the trigger, he shoved the Sonic Howl device into the villain’s ear, sending sonic waves into the body of Muscular. He screamed and thrashed. Daniel persisted. The sonic howl device shattered from the overuse.
With nothing else, clenching his fist, Daniel gave Muscular the meanest right straight to the jaw that he had ever punched. The villain’s head snapped to the side from the punch, with Daniel swearing that he heard a crunch.
A few seconds later, Muscular goes limp and falls to the ground, blood pouring out of his ears.
Now on the ground, Daniel used his leg to kick Muscular in the stomach, waiting for a moment to see if he was really knocked out before releasing a relieved sigh. And then his legs gave out. He let out an “oof” as he dropped to the ground with his butt making first contact.
Then the pain hit him. His whole body HURTS! Oh, god, it’s like he was the one on fire —
OH CRAP FIRE! MUSCULAR WAS ON FIRE!
Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch! He ran on the arm that was burning, that’s why it hurts! Wait, his clothes were on fire! Where’s the dang solvent, he just saw it earlier —
Suddenly, a whole tsunami wave of water appeared out of nowhere and drenched his whole body along with Muscular’s. Spitting out the water that he accidentally inhaled, he wiped his face off before paling at the heroes staring back at him. So many of them, more than his usual dozen, there were close to 30 of them! They must be here because of Muscular, they thought they needed the extra firepower!
They started talking in shock and pointed, directly at him. What? Not every day you see a werewolf? That’s kinda stereotypical, he doubts Blitzwolfer would transmit his wolf-ness around with a bite —
[“— a kid!”]
… Oh. His arm weakly shot up to his face to touch his face. Oh no. His hood wasn’t on. And he couldn’t feel anything in his legs. Huh, guess tanking a blow that hard with a hard shield was not the right thing to do. Uh oh.
As the heroes started to get closer to him and the unconscious Muscular, he couldn’t help but sigh at what was about to happen.
Aw, man, Azmuth was going to be so mad when the watch reactivates.
At least Endeavor wasn’t here, or else he would have been roasted like a turkey. Man had a lot of issues against him for no reason at all.
