Chapter 70: Fighting a Bunny
__________ POV Narration__________
Wolfram and his group acted quickly and started departing from the scene.
He quickly noticed the identity of the person following them, it was one of the quickly rising heroes, Mirko, the Rabbit Hero.
He knew that she was strong, and seeing the damage her kick did to one of their vans just confirmed it.
But he didn't expect Beru to just go off and start directly blocking her kick. He had assumed Beru had some sort of infiltrating quirk. After all, he had taken the appearance of one of his men.
But, it seemed like he had been wrong. Beru's quirk had a lot to do with strength. That realisation made him sweat a bit, but he could only grit his teeth in annoyance.
'Maybe he wouldn't have been that easy to fight...' He had just calmed himself earlier with the fact that this infiltrator was not strong enough to take all of them on.
But now he didn't have that assurance. Which made him quite worried about the intentions of his employer.
Still, he was locked in the contract now. He couldn't back out easily.
And, while he was contemplating what he had gotten himself into. Mirko was contemplating how to approach her opponent.
Beru had repeatedly disregarded her and dashed towards after heroes, she found that insulting, but she also couldn't stop him easily.
He was always near other people, and she needed to hold back accordingly. All until she finally realised that the robbers were slowly getting away.
She suddenly got angry and looked at Beru with a serious gaze.
She used her greatest speed to rush towards Beru, dashing from building to building and appearing right above him prepared to kick him into the ground.
A moment of carelessness was all she needed. And she got it. Her hit connected, it sent Beru flying into the street at breakneck speeds.
He hit the ground and caused a shockwave strong enough to push some of the cars around him away.
"Don't think you can ignore me!" She said angrily. But she still hoped that the fight was over. She quickly started trying to catch up to the cars.
She didn't expect a large hand to just instantly appear above her. She was forced to dodge to the side. Still, a part of the hand hit her and sent her flying into a building.
Beru used his Giantification quirk to enlarge only his hand to stop the rabbit hero. He could easily tell that she was going to be the most troublesome hero in this situation.
He had been a bit injured by her previous kick, but it was already completely healed. His transformation was also still active.
And, since he wasn't actually wearing clothes he didn't need to worry about breaking them by becoming a giant. (Beru transformed into someone wearing clothes, but he isn't actually wearing clothes)
__________ POV Beru__________
Damn, this lady hits hard.
I quickly made my hand return to normal as I pulled it back. I've barely used this gigantification quirk, but it's pretty cool. Now I need to play up having a gigantification quirk though...
And, I gotta say this. "Dayum girl,~I was never the type to get a muscle fetish,~But those thighs are still something to think about!" Shit, did I say that out loud.
The Rabbit Girl walked out of the building with an angry gaze. "So you're also a pervert huh? Guess I'll have to beat those thoughts out of your mind..." She's almost fucking growling at me.
"Ya can't blame me~ You're dressed in what is basically a swimming suit~" Hey, might as well dig a deeper hole since I've already started.
She gritted her teeth and jumped towards me again. Her speed seems to be quite a bit better than before. Or maybe she's just more ferocious? I guess anger does that to some people...
I punched in her direction, using gigantification on my hand and making it large enough to cover almost the entire street.
Now, controlling a hand this large with a small body is quite difficult, and I think this rabbit lady is aware of that.
She was also expecting something like this to happen apparently because she hopped in the air just as my punch was about to reach her.
The massive punch crashed into the building she came out of and brought it down almost instantly.
The good thing about this situation is that this part of the city has been evacuated in advance, but I still need to be mindful not to actually kill any heroes in my wake.
Talking about heroes, the bunny gal ran along my arm and jumped again as I retracted it back to its original state. But this gal was already on me.
She spun around in the air and came down with a powerful hit.
I can't really use my gigantification quirk properly in this instance. At least not without taking a hit.
So, I quickly used gigantification on my whole body, putting an arm above my head and rising to at least 22 meters.
The hero's kick hit my arm as it was becoming bigger and she was repelled backwards by my growing body.
She glared at me with anger. I was currently in between buildings and I'm doing my best not to ruin everything around me.
I doubt Oyama would appreciate that. I mean, a building is already a lot of collateral damage...
Wait. Would the state get a discount from the construction companies if there are more buildings destroyed? Wouldn't I actually be helping them in that case?
Ok, enough stupid thoughts. I don't want to break too much stuff.
So I am forced to become smaller again. The good news is that Wolfram and his boys will soon be far enough for me to start escaping too.
The police cars are all made of metal, after all, Wolfram seems to be able to stop them somehow.
I think he just connects a small strand of steel to them and controls the metal to make the car come to a stop. (probably bricking the engines or something)
I think he needs to be in constant contact with the metal if he wants to manipulate it. (makes sense from his earlier displays)
Which pretty much expected, since absolute control over metal under any circumstance would literally make him a god. (at least in any city/iron-working facility)
Well, enough about that. The rabbit hero stared at me with a serious gaze, she seems really frustrated.
"Do you think you'll be able to escape so easily?" Is she trying to psyche me out? I'm not even that engaged in this fight.
"Your little friends won't be returning for you. They are currently occupied with tucking their tails between their legs and running away." She's actually taunting me.
I probably would've felt abandoned or something if I actually was part of Wolfram's group(and if I actually cared) but that's not really the case, now is it?
"Little friends!? HahAHaHahA. You making fun of my large posture?" I said as enlargened my torso, making my stomach look naturally large.
Even with her serious and angry look, she still cracked a smile. She quickly covered it with a grimace. "So you're a Buffon too huh..."
"Nothing wrong with having a bit of fun in a serious situation~ At least I made sure there weren't any casualties~," I said while waving my hand around a bit.
"'You' made sure? What, are you their leader or something?" She stared at me with some curiosity.
I guess she realised that she won't be catching up with the others, so she stopped trying to hurry things along.
Actually, I think she's stalling me until reinforcements come along.
The other heroes had gone ahead with the squad cars, but none of them seemed to have any agility based quirks, so they're bound to have been left behind.
"I'm close to being a leader I guess~ We're just robbers, keeping things professional is important~" At least, for now, this will soon be called a 'series of terrorist attacks' by the news. (by soon I mean a month or two)
Now, why am I telling her all this? Well, for one, she's hot and I feel like joking around with her. (flirting might not be appreciated)
And, the other reason is a bit more sensible. I need to give some information to the heroes/authorities.
They need a reason for the lack of civilian casualties. A group of violent villains not killing a single person after numerous appearances is extremely unusual.
I don't need them to start questioning the validity of these attacks. That would be quite troublesome for both Oyama and me.
If they realised that these attacks weren't monetarily motivated then things would be a bit annoying.
Especially if they decided to publicize that piece of information. That is, in all fairness, unlikely, but I don't like that game of chance.
If that were to happen, drawing out Lady Nagant would become more of a pipe dream than it already is. (this whole plan is already a fucking stretch)
"So you're saying you're the guy keeping things in check?" Her tone was quite surprised(maybe because I just took down a building with my fist).
"Somewhat~ I also get a bigger cut for my efforts of holding the strongest hero present occupied.~" I think she took that comment as a compliment.
But she wasn't really flattered by it. She's a hero, after all, getting distracted like that is quite unacceptable.
"I see... But what if there were civilians in that building? Wouldn't that have meant that you failed?" She asked with an irritated gaze.
"I've analyzed how Japan's villain attack evacuation protocols work~ I wouldn't have made that move if I didn't~" Well, I already started with this charade, might as well keep it up.
I could feel a lot of people approaching us. I know they are all heroes. They probably came back after they lost sight of Wolfram's group.
"Well... How exactly do you plan on getting away? Or is getting caught part of your job?" The rabbit asked with a smirk as a few heroes came into view from the road behind her.
"Not exactly~ But I do have a few ways~" Since I have a quirk that they know nothing about, I can always exert feats of great strength and they won't have any idea that it's not from the same quirk.
After all, 'Maybe his gigantification quirk makes him always have the strength of a giant!' is always a good argument.
I also kinda liked her style of jumping around like that. It was pretty interesting to track and block. I think I'll try that one too.
"Well~ Speaking to you has been a pleasure~ But if I don't fuck off these guys might split the loot without me~" I made a peace sign and bent my legs. My actions immediately made Rabbit Lady react.
She dashed towards me, but she wasn't fast enough to stop me.
I jumped with a lot of force, breaking the asphalt beneath me. I then proceeded to jump from building to building with much of the same strength.
The speed I decided to use is similar to hers, but I have a head start. And, after a few turns, I warped away and lost her.
I warped back onto the building where I had left the bloke I transformed into. I warped him back to the warehouse, transformed back into myself, and returned to the stadium.
Well, that wasted an hour of my life. Now I have to look at recordings to see how far Toga made it in the last event. (which should still be ongoing)
