CHAPTER START---
SHAMBLES!
Horizon suddenly finds himself in a large cage with empty cuffs on various bars. Chains attached to the wall on the far side, and a mess of human blood and excrement on the floor.
Just outside the cage is an operating table, and a variety of both legal and inhumane medical instruments.
"Oh, I'm definitely going to enjoy this," he mutters while walking to the lock. Drawing his blade he easily slashes the lock, opens the door, and steps outside.
"Horizon," Gang Orca's voice comes through his visor. "All the kids are accounted for, we're about to start moving in, and you're free to engage."
"Copy," Horizon says, now sensing all the kids he just warped to freedom being treated by the forces he brought nearby.
Walking over to the medical equipment, he glances at the setup, permanently searing this horrific sight into his brain. The downsides of having a perfect memory.Then he just walks over to the computer and connects the computer in the left arm of his Hero Costume to it.
Nezu's program immediately begins ripping every bit of information out of the villain's system and into Horizon's dedicated mainframe.
As its downloading he can hear loud footsteps coming down the hallway, sensing two men rushing his way.
BANG!
The door to the room fling open, luckily the solid steel door blocks Horizon from their view.
They immediately turn their backs to him, facing the cage.
"Quick destroy the ev---" both men stop, one holding a pink flame in his hand, ready to incinerate the kids to silence them. "What the hell! Where are they?!"
"Safe," Horizon says, both men turn around and freeze at the sight of him. "Which is more than I can say for either of you..."
The man holding the pink flames immediately raises both hands, launching two thin streams of fire.
SHAMBLES!
Horizon swaps with the man beside him. The second man reacts quickly, before the flames can touch him he opens his mouth and spits a stream of boiling water into it.
INCISION!
Horizon swings down at the man with the pink flames, slashing off his fingers which the flames instantly cauterize.
As the man is screaming in absurd agony, Horizon grabs him by the face and lifts him to block the boiling water sent at them.
"Sorry!" the second man yells as he stops the stream of water, seeing the back of his friend covered in boils and scalded red.
SHAMBLES!
Horizon swaps their places, not having the water user in his grasp.
BOOSTER SHOT!
He slams the man into the floor, cracking the tiles and concrete beneath it.
Tossing the man atop his groaning and burnt friend, Horizon keeps his sword out and walks to the reinforced steel door of the room.
He senses a man rushing toward this very room.
'3...2...1,' He kicks the door, hard enough to rip it off the hinges and slam it into the opposite wall of the hallway.
Stepping out of the room he looks down at the door, then casually tosses it off the man who was squashed behind it.
Pressing his boot onto the man's face, he scans him, making sure he'd survive before turning and walking down the hallway.
Making a sharp turn, Horizon begins climbing up the stairs. His room was currently only 200 meters wide, allowing him to comfortably keep track of the kids he rescued, his allies, and all the enemies around.
Including the man at the top of the stairs, with the comically large steel hammer.
So the moment Horizon steps out of the staircase, his hand immediately moves up, casually catching the weapon.
BOOSTER SHOT!
Small wisps of blue energy vapor are released from his hand as he looks up at the man, thoroughly unimpressed.
"Sword beats hammer," Horizon says as he stabs his blade through the man's leg, severing the ligament attaching his calf to the bone.
"Ahhhh!" the man screams, only to get kneed in the face as he's falling to the floor.
Entering the ground floor, Horizon is by a man firing what appear to be steel slugs from his abs.
"Well that's new," Horizon mutters as the man aims at him, but he also senses the other villain with a bone spear extending from his palm trying to sneak up behind him.
The man fires one slug at him.
TAKT!
"Argh! You fucking shot me!" The bone spear villain screams. One slug hits him in the thigh.
"Sorry!" the man yells and fires again.
TAKT!
"Ahg, what the fuck is wrong with you!" The other thigh is shot, causing him to drop to the floor.
"It's not me I swear."
"I can move things with my mind, dumbass," Horizon says.
The man stops shooting and pulls out a small knife, clearly more brave than smart as he rushes forward.
"Amputate," Horizon divides the man directly down the middle. Then one more time and the waist, four quarters left on the floor.
Both men begin screaming hysterically, "put me back put me back put me back put me back put me back put me back!" the man demands...but Horizon just steps over him.
"This is nothing compared to what you did to all those kids you kidnapped, maybe I'll even put you back together...maybe," Horizon says as he walks into the next room.
Seeing the Orca Gang -Gang Orca's sidekicks-, having everything here under control, he strolls up to the second floor.
And there he's greeted by a man with three arms brawling...or atleast trying to brawl with Gang Orca.
"Just stay down, you can't win!" The man yells as he rushes in, throwing another flurry of punches.
He lands a few lucky hits, but they barely even moved Gang Orca.
And the Pro Hero just connects one strong left to send the man stumbling back into the wall.
Seeing the man about to rush back in Horizon leans against the wall and folds his arms, leaving Scalpel floating at his side, some drops of blood still on the blade.
"Is this gonna take long? I've got a date tonight, I'd rather not be late..."
Both men glance over at him, and the villain that was so adamant about fighting Gang Orca, a Top 10 Pro Hero, suddenly puts his hands up in surrender.
"Ok, I'll come quietly."
Gang Orca just looks between them and sighs, taking out a pair of handcuffs, "oh...he has three hands."
"I'll just warp us to the cops outside."
"Right," Gang Orca says, then looks back to the villain. "You could have just surrendered that easily when I got here, what a pain."
"Why would I do that, you aren't him," he gestures to Horizon who just starts laughing.
Moments later everyone is outside as the police load the villains into armored trucks for transport. As Horizon is treating one of the officers he's also talking to Ryukyu through his visor.
"So how did your raid go?"
"Great, the simultaneous strikes went off smoothly. Crust said his team only got a warehouse of supplies but thankfully nobody got hurt."
"That's good, we got the kids at this location like I suspected," Horizon says.
"Sigh, what monsters. If they were treated anything like the adults we rescued then I'm glad I was so rough on them."
"Trust me, they deserve it. Keep your eyes open for anything like this again. These were all the locations I could dig up these past few days, but there could be more. And if not, there could be other groups like this out there..."
"Sadly I don't doubt there are, but you're good at hostage rescue, such a handy Quirk."
"I get that a lot," Horizon says as he signals for the man to get up, receiving a nod of thanks as he walks over to Gang Orca. "Anyway, you can read the report later, I've gotta talk to Gang Orca before I head back to Tokyo."
"Alright, I'll call you if anything comes up."
"No problem lizard lady."
"Dragon lady," she corrects.
"Not until you can breathe fire---" he hangs up before she can respond. "Gang, are we done here?"
"Hmm, yes," Gang Orca looks over to Horizon. Then back to the building they were in, and the nearby docs. "To think they did this atrocity right under our noses."
"Villains are sneaky, that's how they survive. But if they mess up once, we lock them up."
"How did you even find out about this anyway? None of the locations were in Tokyo."
"I asked the right questions, in the right tone," Horizon says, and after seeing him operate today, Gang Orca doesn't pry any further. "Plus I have people I can ask about movement in the underworld, they gave me a heads up about a courier moving a body between locations, passing through Tokyo, I just had to get my hands on him..."
"Hmm, commendable work. I certainly never doubted that you'd be a great Pro Hero. But now I see why everyone has such grand expectations for you.
"Huh, I expected some crap about how I need to be more gentle or something," Horizon shrugs.
Gang Orca shakes his head, "in any other situation maybe, but these people were experimenting on children, I have no mercy for them."
"That we agree on, now I've gotta go, you know how to contact me if you need anything."
"Of course, always a pleasure working with you," and as they shake hands, one of the nearby press parasites snaps a picture that would launch his career, and keep Gang Orca in the top #10 Pro Heroes.
