Chapter 40: The Laboratory in the Mountains
__________ POV Beru__________
The day has finally come. The assault on the high school is going to happen in a few hours.
I have just enough time to go deal with the doctor and Gigantomachia. Kurogiri and Shigaraki are still getting prepared for the raid.
I can just leave them to get to it, as they don't really need me to be here for now. I just need to be there when the attack starts.
I do want to see if they truly want to kill kids for whatever reason. I mean, they may be villains, but they should have some code of conduct...
At least my gang had some strict rules against harming children. I remember having to get rid of a few members for doing that type of thing.
They usually got the same treatment as the snitches. Although it was always annoying having to buy more buckets.
But I guess we weren't really two-bit thugs. So I shouldn't expect them to have a code of conduct at all.
Well, I'll take care of it when I get to it. No reason to worry too much about it, they are all weaklings anyway...
I mean, what's the use of superpowers if you can't even use them properly? I'm pretty sure I could've taken care of them in my past life. They are pretty much useless.
"Beru? Can you go and check on the warehouse?" Great, there's my exit ticket. I kinda expected Shigaraki to ask me to do something like this.
Although my presence isn't needed here if I just disappeared it would be a bit suspicious. But, now I have an hour to go deal with Kyudai and his Lab.
I just nodded and flew away out an open window, of course, doors are outdated.
I quickly flew above the clouds and sped towards Kyudai's laboratory, pipes coming out of my back and speeding me up further.
I reached the hospital in the middle of that stupid forest quite quickly. The actual laboratory is underground. I don't really like this place, but I guess I can't do much about it.
I'm basically going in to ruin it anyway.
I just entered the front door and went towards the basement. I already know the route. And, like always, it was filled with all sorts of Nomus.
They obviously didn't attack me, they know me. They are just told to patrol the area and make sure no one suspicious comes in.
If I kill Kyudai most of them will turn idle. As they take their orders from him. All for One is more of the man behind the scenes(or the monitor if you want to be specific).
He barely does anything himself. It's a bit odd, he seemed to be quite the hands-on guy when he came to get me and the other brats. I guess first impressions can be wrong?
Well, it doesn't matter, I'm more than ready to fight him. I don't have much to worry about him.
I mean, I'll still have to be careful. The dude is strong, but I at least have some confidence in defeating him.
I eventually reached Kyudai's laboratory. I obviously took the elevator, as I am a civilised man.
He was there, operating on a Nomu or something. He's a short old man, white lab coat, bald, steam-punk goggles, bushy moustache. He looked quite surprised to see me.
Gigantomachia was just sitting in a corner, I think he's just staring at the walls.
He's a bulky dude, body filled with rocky muscles. He has spiky brown hair, a prominent rocky Jawline and large canines. Kinda like those of an orc.
He may be strong, but he's not all that important. He's quite dull and easy to deal with. He also won't be able to fight all that well without his 'Gigantification' quirk.
This is quite the enclosed underground space after all.
Kyudai is actually the first person I need to take out, all he needs to do is press a button and every Nomu in the building will rush this place. (and I don't want that)
"Oh, Beru. Has Master sent you here to fetch something?" Kyudai isn't really suspecting anything. I guess he wouldn't. He probably thinks I'm as simple-minded as Giganto.
"YeAh, SoMetHinG LiKe tHaT~" I don't need to bother too much with him. I don't feel like listening to him talk all that much.
I stepped closer to him and looked him in the eye. He just raised an eyebrow, likely finding my approach to be quite strange.
__________ POV Narration__________
"Thanks for the quirks~," Beru said in a happy, child-like tone. He swiped his hand much in the same way he did at the bar. Severing the Doctors neck while keeping eye contact.
His clear voice startled the mad doctor, then Kyudais eyes widened as his neck started bleeding.
Beru decided to just let him bleed out. A slow death, just so he could watch his master's other faithful servant get cut to pieces.
Beru swiped his claws at Kyudai a few times, cutting off his hands and legs to ensure that he couldn't pull off any funny moves.
He just stared in shock. All of that had happened in two seconds. Gigantomachia quickly got up from his sitting position.
He looked at the ant-man warily. He wasn't sure of how to approach Beru. He wasn't all that intelligent, to begin with.
And he also wasn't sure why Beru would attack Kyudai. Did their master want him dead? Had his service been unsatisfactory?
He didn't expect Beru to Rush him too. But he quickly blocked a claw to the side. It was a casual attack from Beru, yet it still almost severed his hand.
"W-Why are you attacking me!? Have you gone mad!?" He was growing angrier as his body was being filled with cuts. His hardened muscles were not even remotely helping him.
He also couldn't grow in size due to their current location being underground. So, he was stuck with having to tank hits.
But, slowly, he was running out of stamina, and his morale was falling greatly.
He couldn't feel any pain. But he could feel the numbness spread around his body as he was quickly losing blood from the many cuts inflicted on him.
His arm that had been dangling from a few strips of muscle had already fallen off. Beru just stared at him as he slowly sunk to the ground. The numbness spreading all over his body.
'Well, that was quite easy... But I did take them by surprise.' Was Beru's thought.
But the way he started the attack determined this easy outcome.
First, he claimed that he was sent by All for One. Then he murdered the only person in the room that could disprove his lie.
It took a while for Giganto to wrap his head around the severity of the situation. He was taken by surprise, and he didn't even have time to react.
By the time he started swinging his fist in retaliation, he was already filled with cuts.
Beru even allowed Giganto's punches to land, as they didn't even make the insectoid flinch.
The fight was one-sided and ended quickly. Beru just left the room with a happy mind. He was now excited to finish off his plans.
__________ POV Beru__________
I left the hospital, most of the Nomus were still doing the last tasks they had received. But some of them remained idle.
Still, they didn't attack me, they aren't really intelligent enough to realize I had just killed their 'creator'.
I think Kyudai was trying to create more intelligent ones. But he probably didn't get to go that far into his research.
Oh well, he won't be doing any of that anymore.
I honestly thought I'd find Kyudai's death to provide me with more satisfaction. But I just felt he was pathetic in his last moments. Same for Gigantomachia.
Neither of them proved to be anything special to me. I guess only All for One himself will provide me with that feeling of satisfaction.
Well, his turn will come. Sooner than later.
I wonder how long it will take for him to realise that his loyal servants are dead.
I hope to be there to watch his reaction...
