CHAPTER START---

"Yeah," Overhaul grits out. "I'm the boss..."

The massive underground stone cavern system of the Yakuza base was tense.

This room had no exit, sealed away by Overhaul when Lemillion and the others entered, taking advantage of the fact that Permeation doesn't extend beyond his body and specially designed Hero Costume.

Overhaul's eyes don't dare stray away from Horizon, even as the young Hero casually takes a few steps forward to stand in front of the others.

At his back are Sir Nighteye, Lemillion, Bubble Girl, and Rock Lock, the only Heroes to make it this far.

Opposite them Overhaul stands beside a Yakuza man who wasn't on the intel they had.

Wearing a white version of their uniform with a yellow plague doctor mask blocking his entire face.

Horizon's eyes and senses focus on the gun in the man's hand, a revolver with 6 Quirk Deleter Rounds loaded and ready to fire.

But the next instant his eyes are fixed on the two Nomu behind Overhaul, the reason why Nighteye called him over this morning.

He does a quick breakdown of them, one thin and lanky, grey-skinned with bone spikes protruding from its joints and spine, arcs of yellow electricity bounding from the tips of each bone.

'The Lurkers encountered one of these at a warehouse they raided,' Horizon recalls data from Edgeshot's updates. 'Its are a mid-class Nomu, which means no Super Regeneration atleast... but it looks exactly the same, guess this confirms they're cloning Nomu.'

His eyes then dart over to the next Nomu, a hulking brute, nearly 5m -15ft- tall and covered in muscles.

Pieces of its purple skin were torn to reveal red slightly glowing muscle fibers beneath, brimming with energy. He also notices both the Nomu having their eyes locked onto him.

'Shigaraki probably gave them some kind of higher-order to focus me if I show up...but if he left them here then Overhaul is in control, and he's more invested in the manufacturing of these bullets than we thought.

But from what I know Overhaul's plan is to destroy all Quirks or something, and Shigaraki is more of a global destruction and chaos type...doesn't make sense. He must have bullied the Yakuza into helping them.

This should mean after this I can probably get Overhaul to give me all the data I need to find the League of Losers. So I need to capture Overhaul...difficult to contain him with that Quirk.

I can't use Injection Shot to disable him from a distance since his Quirk counters is. That mean's I'll zap him first, then just rip his heart out to disable his Quirk, a few moments of contact will be dangerous but manageable, and his Quirk shouldn't work on my body.

Just need to be wary of him using it on my costume. Having to clear this place out and then claim Overhaul killed the other heroes would be annoying, and make me look like I failed to protect them, can't have that...'

In the small moment where Horizon was considering the ups and downs of this fight, Overhaul had to do no such thing, he planned for this unfortunate eventuality.

He planned for the absolute worst-case scenario of standing against Horizon from the moment the Sports Festival debuted him.

Because of the nature of his Quirk, All Might was never much of a concern, but Horizon is dangerous.

'An absolute sense of his environment, range, mobility, and he's a genius,' Overhaul thinks. 'Everyone else is probably locked up already, so its just Chronostasis and I against these freaks...but all I need is Chronostasis, exactly as we planned.'

He sees Horizon draw his blade and point it across at them, "surrender peacefully and you won't have to get hurt. I already warped Eri away from here, she's safe with the other heroes, and all the other forces you had have already been defeated. I even found your safe room with the doctor."

Overhaul's eye twitches at that, "well now, this is rare, a person who lives up to their reputation, you're a bigger freak than I thought."

"You can't win," Horizon says. "Just give up."

"Chronostasis," Overhaul whispers, low enough that only his right-hand man could hear it. "Trust me to heal you, to rescue you...stick to the plan, and our perfect world shall be realized."

"Yes sir," Chronostasis mutters back.

"Just die Heroes!" Overhaul yells dramatically as he slams his hands toward the ground.

SHAMBLES!

Deciding to handle Overhaul first he warps directly under the man and drops him, reaching up to grab him with an electric palm.

And exactly as he wants, is how it happened.

Overhaul aims to grab his visor and use his Quirk, but before he can do that Horizon grabs the villain's forearm and shocks him into unconsciousness, ending this encounter.

Holding the villain off the floor Horizon looks him over, "well, I expected more from the big bad Yakuza...no wonder you guys barely exist anymore, now about that hea---"

"Horizon!" Lemillion's scream cuts him off.

Horizon's head snaps over to the other heroes, seeing Lemillion over the other Yakuza who was on the floor with no mask on, laying on his back coughing up blood.

"You wait here," he drops Overhaul and rushes over to the others. "What happened?"

"I don't know, I didn't even hit him that hard," Lemillion says, clearly distressed by the dying man.

"Stand back," Horizon kneels beside the man and places a hand on his chest. "His heart is about to explode, and his brain...what the hell, it's like he's having a full biological meltdown, I need to---"

The man coughs and a fountain of blood erupts from his mouth.

Horizon sees some bits of green in the blood and beneath the visor his eyes widen.

SHA---

Before his brain could process the command, before the same globs of blood could fall back onto Chronostasis, everything stops.

Time itself for 6m -20ft- around the body was brought to an absolute crawl.

Only a few minutes later and Overhaul wakes up, sitting up and holding his head. Feeling the searing pain of having his scalp almost torn out and the stinging, sizzling of his left forearm from being tased.

"Mmm," he looks around, seeing the two defeated Nomu, then over at where the others are.

"So it worked, good job Chronostasis, this is why we kept your Quirk an absolute secret..." he says while looking at the scene.

Chronostasis was vomiting up blood and traces of green liquid. The heroes were around him looking on in concern while Horizon was trying to diagnose the problem, exactly as they'd expect from the only present doctor.

"Of course, he can't ignore a person in need, stupid Heroes always running to help, and he's a doctor on top of that..." he says while getting up, keeping his eyes on Horizon.

Taking a deep breath he cracks his neck, enjoying the short reprieve as he walks to the severed finger.

'In tests, that Suicide Trigger Formula we got from the European lab is next-level stuff. Forcing a quirk to evolve and go wild at the cost of the user's life, taking a simple single target time slowing Quirk to an area of effect attack...the ultimate suicide attack.

One that even the mighty Horizon can't detect and warp away from in time. Tests show I should have anywhere between twenty and forty minutes before the Chronostasis bubble pops, that gives me enough time to get out of here.

Get out of their signal jammer range and call Shigaraki, we can always make a run at getting Eri and Chronostasis back later,' he thinks while picking up Chronostasis's severed finger.

Focusing on it he's thankful for how many times he's used his Quirk on his right-hand man, in preparation for the Horizon eventuality.

'Every self-respecting villain should have a plan for that freak...but none are as good as mine,' he mentally gloats as the finger pops into red mist.

Then it rushes through the air toward Chronostasis, sending the command to restructure his body and expel the trigger.

The small cloud of mist that comprises the finger suddenly stops in mid-air as it hits the time bubble, frozen like everything else.

Overhaul narrows his eyes at that, annoyed that the same thing keeping them trapped also protects them from getting hurt.

"Time to get out of he---" His eyes widen in surprise and confusion as he sees Horizon's head slowly, as if moving through wet cement, turn toward him. "What kind of a freak are you?" he growls out as Horizon begins turning to get up and walk toward him.

All in slow motion.

"No no no, this isn't supposed to happen!" Overhaul yells as he rushes toward his only chance of victory, toward the two Nomu...
