CHAPTER START---

---September 23rd, 3 Weeks into Semester 2...

Descending from the sky above Horizon soars through the cool night air on his hoverboard.

Below he sees the coast, just north of Tokyo, a small port with rows of warehouses and only a few boats docked. No large ships resting here at the moment.Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com

ROOM!

He senses everything for 500m around him, finding the people he came to meet tonight, and to confront.

SHAMBLES!

He swaps with a piece of paper.

Suddenly he's standing in one of the far warehouses, still on his hoverboard, in a room filled with police officers wearing assault gear.

The sounds of guns being readied and aimed at him clack out from all sides.

"Friendly," he says casually, and sees the faces of some of the men relax and brighten, now far more confident they'd be going home to their families tonight.

With a miracle on their side.

"It's been a while!" the captain in charge calls out from across the room. The man was standing around a table with a map of the docks on it, his lieutenants beside him as they plot their assault.

Horizon hops off his board, which some of them men stare at as it remains hovering in place, and walks over to the table.

"Good to see you again," Horizon says. "Well, its atleast good that we're taking down more criminals together."

The man chuckles a bit, "yeah well, last time was that warehouse of Trigger in Tokyo, this time its guns, guns, and guess what, more guns."

"You always get assigned to the warehouse raids?"

"If its on the docks, it hits my desk, atleast in this region, and since this time I'm here before you go busting in there, we've got a warrant."

"Hey last time I had probable cause to investigate," Horizon says jokingly.

"Right, whatever kid, just don't toe the line, we really can't afford you getting kicked out of the Hero Course for some crap like that," the man says.

"I'll keep that in mind," Horizon looks at the map as he expands his room, seeing a few points marked as having sentries posted with higher caliber rifles.

And without asking he takes one of the nearby pencils and adds to the notes on the map.

"Safe in this room, you missed a guard posted here, these crates are your priority. They've got more ammo than guns in that place but they're all together, get to these crates when things get hot so they don't just have unlimited ammo to shoot at your men."

"Damn," one of the lieutenants mutter.

"On it."

"Good call waiting for me, who knows what kind of Quirks they could have. But the grey Nomu are supposed to be low-end, purple-black is mid-rank, and we know they've got some special High-End Nomus, atleast one."

"What? A high-end?" Kamui asks. "I didn't know that."

"The top Pro's will get the report tomorrow, along with the top police officers," Horizon looks to the captain. "Everyone on this line will know which is why I'm saying it now. My speculation is those things are meant to be hero killing specialists, or serve unique roles."

"But these Nomu should be on the weaker side from what you said, so we could have gone in yesterday," Mt. Lady whines. "We spent a extra night at this smelly port for nothing."

"Commission's orders," Edgeshot says. "All Nomu sightings get reported to Horizon, and if he's available we wait for him before engaging, you know without him there isn't anything stopping Kurogiri from warping these people away."

"Yeah, I know..."

"I don't think Kurogiri would get involved here," Horizon says. "Shigaraki has been breaking any gang or crime organization he can get his hands on and adding them to his forces. This is likely one of those, that's why they've only got two Nomu, and they're hiding supplies here instead of wherever the league hides theirs, probably off-shore or in another country."

"Because if you have warp gate you don't need supplies to be close," Kamui Woods says. "That's a good point, so these are just street thugs playing with Shigaraki's toys?"

"Most likely, but better to be safe than sorry."

"Seems a bit odd to me," the captain says. "They went through the trouble of buying this warehouse in a nice secluded spot, bought all these guns and security, and even built a secret room for whatever is in those cases, but only have two of the weaker Nomu...doesn't add up."

"It rarely ever does."

"You sure you don't sense anything else?"

"I'm sure," Horizon says. "But I'll be going in first anyway, keep your men on the perimeter, and Edgeshot---"

"Yeah?"

"When I make noise, you get into the secret room and steal whatever is in there, preferably without triggering the pressure plate or motion sensor. We want them to not know we found it, and the pressure plate and sensor will do exactly that."

"No wonder you didn't just warp it out, but I can handle it no problem."

"What about us?" Kamui Woods asks.

"You and Mt. Lady catch any stragglers while I deal with the Nomu, we're doing this loud. Normally I'm more tactical with my approach, but we need to send a message to Japan that any gang that works with the league is gonna get their teeth kicked in."

"A bit crude, but I see the logic in it, we'll follow your lead on this," Edgeshot says.

"Good, I know I can count on all of you, so just stick to the plan, I'll go get into position."

"Position, what position?" Mt. Lady asks.

"I'm Horizon, I don't need to sneak around my enemies, I'll just walk up and knock."

"I'll start the signal interrupter," the captain says and one of the lieutenants rushes off to the technical unit.

"Great, so I'll go say hello..."
