Interlude: Hosu Conclusion

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Selene and Celestia found that following Stain's capture there was still a lot of work to do, the minor villains were either beaten or they surrendered after realizing that there was nothing they could do, especially not with Endeavor and many of the other heroes on the scene. The minor villains had done a good deal of damage to the city of Hosu, that much they could see, yet they knew it could have been worse had the Nomu come out to play, if more existed since they had one seen the one and had no idea if the League had more of them. Selene also used the rooftops to keep an eye on things, finding that a helicopter had spotted Tomura and Kurogiri where she had noticed them previously, even though Tomura crushed his pair of binoculars after realizing that his plans had been dashed once more. Of course he fled through one of Kurogiri's gates, but she had a feeling her father was going to have words with Tomura once he learned of this assault, since this was totally against what Hisashi wanted, causing her to return to the others.

Eventually the chaos was quelled and they were allowed to rest, where Stain was stripped of his gear and had the attire of a prisoner placed on his prison, so he could be transported to his new home, while Izuku, Tenya, and Shoto were treated in a room and were contained for the time being.

Selene already knew what was happening without anyone telling her, the police were going to run with the story about how 'Endeavor defeated the Hero-Killer', they even snapped a picture of him annoyed last night to fit the story, because they didn't want anyone to know that school students beat him. She knew why they were thinking such a thing, it was due to the fact that the trio weren't official heroes yet and their fight was more like vigilantes fighting a villain, and if the people saw such a thing it would ruin a lot of things, so they were burying the truth while giving the win to Endeavor. At the same time it proved to be a lesson for the trio, as she and Celestia had visited their brother and found that he was just fine, with a few minor bandages, and that they were being visited by the Chief of Hosu's police. That was all she needed to know to put this puzzle together on her own, and she was sure that Celestia had figured it out already as well, though neither of them talked around it, figuring it was best to leave this issue alone.

She also discovered that Mirko, Ryukyu, and the majority of the other heroes gave their interns a few hours off to rest up so they could be ready for whatever the rest of their field training had to offer them, hence why she and Celestia walked out of the hospital, after checking on their brother, while in their civilian attire.

"So, what are you going to do with your couple of hours off?" Selene asked, because she had plans, she wanted to hang out with Himiko and get to know her a little better, so she could figure out where the girl went wrong and if she would help her master how to use her Quirk without any strange side effects, even if that meant using her own blood Quirk to see if there was anything to be learned from that angle.

"Well, there's someone I've been hanging out with when we're not in school, so I figured I'd see if he wants to get coffee or do something for a few hours." Celestia replied, as she knew that the more she helped Toya the more she could mend his body in the future, plus she had noticed that she had some sort of calming effect on him, since he was keeping his hatred for his father contained but wasn't letting it fester like an open wound, like their time was a sort of therapy for him.

"Wait... 'him'?! Celestia, where oh where did you find the time to get a boyfriend?" Selene inquired, though the smile that was on her face told her sister that she was only teasing her, even though part of her was being serious with her question, since she had missed the entire thing and was simply curious as to what her sister had been up to.

"Selene, he's just a boy I know and we share a few similarities." Celestia answered, where she figured her sister was simply messing with her, though at the same time she knew there wasn't anything special between her and Toya, even though she knew it could change in the future, but she was focused on the here and now, instead of the future, before she thought about something for a few seconds, "Oh, that reminds me, I need to have a word with Izuku about something... he should have warned me about Endeavor, especially after he had that talk with Shoto before their match."

"Oh? You'll have to share the details with me later." Selene said, as she had a feeling that the story behind Celestia meeting the boy she wanted to hang out with was going to be an interesting one, especially if her sister was mentioning the time she encountered Endeavor and the talk that Izuku had with Shoto, before she felt her phone ring and checked it, finding that it was her new friend, "Well, looks like I had best get going. I hope you have fun with your boyfriend, sis."

Celestia chuckled for a moment as she watched her sister head down the street, where she stood still for a few moments to make sure Selene was fine, and noticed that Selene caught up with a girl she had never seen before, but smiled as they walked into the city, since her sister was happy, before she headed out to meet with Toya before worrying about whatever hero work she had to do later.


The day following the assault on Hosu, which was all over the news, Tomura growled as he read one of the newspapers he and Kurogiri had collected earlier that morning, while at the same time both his portable computer and the nearby television were tuned into the news broadcasts.

"I can't believe it! All the news is talking about is that the Hero-Killer's been caught... there's barely any mentions about the minor villains or even the League!" Tomura remarked, clutching the paper for a moment before his Quirk decayed it in just a few seconds, as he was rightly annoyed by the information he had received, because now it sounded like he should have just left Stain along until Sensei had more Nomu to use against All Might, since he could have used that as a test run to be sure they were ready, "His reputation was much larger than I expected, since it overshadowed everything we did... I mean, those guys wrecked a good area and they're barely mentioned."

Tomura stopped for a moment as he glanced at the screen that his Sensei used to communicate with him and Kurogiri, the screen was on and the icon was active, but other than that it seemed like he was either being ignored or his Sensei was in the middle of thinking about something important.

I would ask if you learned anything from this, Tomura, but I would hazard the answer would be 'no'. Hisashi said, though right now he was restraining himself when it came to his foolish student, because he was angry that Tomura had done such a thing, using Kurogiri to warp in so many people so he could assault Hosu, using people like they were nothing more than pawns in his sick and twisted game of destruction, I have told you time and time again that one shouldn't treat the people like disposable pawns, rather we should work together as equals, allies working towards a common goal... and yet you just decided to throw all of that down the drain in an instant.

"Oh, please, who cares about the worthless villains that got wiped out? They were supposed to destroy Hosu and failed to do so." Tomura stated, where he finished the drink that was in front of him, water since it was too early from soda or the other drinks he usually drank from time to time, though this time he refrained from breaking the glass with his Quirk, Kurogiri always got annoyed when he decayed the containers he drank from or utensils he ate with, "We gained nothing from this... we gained no experience, acquired no loot, were unable to expand our territory... it doesn't matter how you say it, this was just a total failure of an operation."

Now that is where I have to disagree with you, Tomura. Yes, you failed, but there are tales of how Stain was part of the League. Hisashi replied, though at the same time he was resisting the urge to just go into the bar, steal Decay from his student, and bring this entire operation to an end, because he was reaching the last straw with Tomura and was sure that none of his lessons were working for the boy, to the point that he should just cut his losses and focus on someone else to be the one to bring the wrongfully labeled together, There is the chance that Stain's defeat might reach people that share his viewpoints and that might cause people like him to seek us out, a true League, a team that you can work with for the good of all people who are wrongly labeled as 'villains', instead of focusing on yourself. You can be the Hero of your story, Tomura, instead of the Demon King that everyone fears and hates... you wouldn't want to become thing thing that everyone seeks to destroy, would you?

"...Whatever... I'll be in my room, as usual." Tomura remarked, because whenever he wanted some time alone, but wasn't totally angry, he just returned to his room and played his games for a time, though when he was really annoyed he went out as a normal person and stalked the city of his choosing until it was time for him to come back, "Kurogiri, come get me if anything interesting happens."

Hisashi mentally sighed as Tomura departed for his room, as it was becoming harder and harder to teach the boy anything useful, he was literally stuck in this annoying man child state and seemed to be of the belief that his way was correct, even if his path was horribly wrong. It made Hisashi wonder where in the world he went wrong with Tomura, or if this was just how the boy would turn out no matter what he did, because it seemed like every lesson he tried to impart onto the boy was met with either resistance or disobedience, especially in this instance. He was really considering nipping this problem before it grew into something far larger than what it was right now, which meant taking Decay from his student and sealing it away so it couldn't be used to cause destruction, death, and suffering, like how Tomura was currently using it. The only problem with that was the fact that there wasn't anyone who could take his student's place as someone who could potentially unite the wrongfully oppressed and bring change to the world as a whole, to make the heroes realize their errors and make it so they stopped making villains out of innocent individuals.

At the very least he was pleased that Selene and Celestia were doing well, as it sounded like they had found people to be friends with, even though he was still surprised that Dabi made contact with Celestia and that Sunshine could mend wounds like it did, but he was happy for them and hoped to keep their peace stable, and he was happy Izuku had stopped breaking his bones, even if he was still upset that his son was All Might's successor.

"Sensei, should I tell him that our ally will be arriving with guests in a couple of days?" Kurogiri inquired, as they had an ally in the shadows of Japan who helped track down potential allies, or even gear if they needed it, and Hisashi had revived word that he had found a few newcomers who might be interested in the League, one of which he assumed was Dabi.

"No, not while he's in this mood. We'll tell him in a day or two." Hisashi replied, as he didn't want to deal with Tomura while he was sulking in his room, especially since the boy didn't want to listen to him right now, meaning there was a chance that he might have to stop his lessons and just bring an end to all of this, before he sighed, "Hopefully he doesn't go off the rails when the allies come in, otherwise I might just dissolve the League and focus on something else."

Hisashi waited for a few moments, to see if Kurogiri had more to report, but when the figure said nothing he disconnected the screen and returned to his silence for a time, causing him to wonder what to do with Tomura while he wondered what the coming days held in store for him and the rest of his family.
