17 - A New Stand

No one's POV

In the skies of Tokyo, we see Endeavor carrying Elegant Fox, as she has been knocked unconscious. As this happens, a dragonide tries to blast Endeavor, but he manages to avoid the blasts, and still hold on.

Endeavor: Dammit!

Endeavor: Normally I'd blast these things to hell, but I can't do that while carrying Elegant Fox! I've got to find a safe area.

Endeavor does manage to lose one of the dragonides, but another soon appears and grabs him by the legs, and starts lifting him up.

Endeavor: Crap!

Endeavor is about to try and hit it, and as this happens, Elegant Fox, who has just woken up, grabs his hand.

Elegant Fox: Not yet...

Endeavor doesn't say anything and simply nods, and after a few seconds, reaches a canal.

Elegant Fox: Now!!

Endeavor then throws a punch at the dragonide's foot, which makes it release both Endeavor and Elegant Fox, as they fall into the water below. After they land, Elegant Fox slowly drags Endeavor out of the water, and hears the footsteps of the Vengestone warriors.

Elegant Fox: Crap! I gotta get out of here!

Elegant Fox then does her best and carriers Endeavor away from the Vengestone warriors, while keeping themselves hidden.

Meanwhile...

We now see the streets of Tokyo, where two members of the Paranormal Liberation front are heading back from a meeting in Deika City, when they notice the streets.

PLF Member 1: Hey... What's going on with this place?

PLF Member 2: How the hell should I know?! My power doesn't let me-

They then stop as they hear footsteps and notice Lady Nagant with a set of Vengestone Guards.

Lady Nagant: Keep on moving, soldiers! The Demon King wants the members of Class 1-S, as well as anyone else! I don't want to anger him as much as he already is!

PLF Member 1: What the hell...? What are those things?

PLF Member 2: I'll contact Re-Destro! Maybe he'll know what-

The PLF Member's thoughts are interrupted, as a bullet flies by them.

Lady Nagant: Sorry boys, but shouldn't have come out.

The two PLF Members try to use their Quirks against Lady Nagant, but as soon as they get within the range of the Vengestone Guards, their Quirks stop working, which makes them panic.

Lady Nagant: *sigh* I was willing to let you live, but know that you attacked first. *whistles* Warriors! Demonize these two!

The Vengestone warriors then start to approach the two PLF Members, and as one manages to get away, the Guards touch the other, demonizing him. The remaining member of the Paranormal Liberation Front gets on his phone to call another member.

PLF Member 2: Hey, get in my Re-Destro ASAP!!

PLF Member(Through Phone): Hey, what's going on?

PLF Member 2: JUST GET ME TO HIM!!! THIS IS A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH FOR THE CAUSE!! YOU NEED TO GET ME-

The man can't even finish his sentence, as Lady Nagant grabs his phone, and the Vengestone Guards quickly demonize him.

Re-Destro(Through Phone): Is something wrong?

Lady Nagant then realizes the voice and says one thing.

Lady Nagant: Sorry, Re-Destro, or should I say Rikiya Yotsubashi. Your two men have just join the Demon King's army.

Re-Destro(Through Phone): Who are you?

Lady Nagant: Shame you don't remember me. Lady Nagant ring any bells?

Re-Destro(Through Phone): But you were...

Lady Nagant: The Demon King Broke me out. Now you and this, "cause," your men mentioned have a choice. Submit, or be forced into submission.

Re-Destro(Through Phone): The Paranormal Liberation Front will never-

Lady Nagant: Then be prepared to end up like your two followers. Because when they just tried to fight back, they were easily subdued.

Lady Nagant then hangs up, and continues the march.

*Time-skip*

We now see Elegant Fox making her way inside of a conveniently placed abandoned shelter, with Endeavor still tired out.

Elegant Fox: *sigh*

???: Elegant?

Elegant Fox turns around to see Deshi there.

Elegant Fox: Deshi? What are you doing here?

Deshi: I found this place while running from the Demon King's Council. Apparently they're looking for me. Some kids from Masegaki Primary School, who were on a field trip, are here as well.

Endeavor: What about the mission?

Deshi: Oh god... I don't know how to tell you this but... It failed. Parts the platform crashed all across the city.

Elegant Fox: And the students and heroes.

Deshi: Nobody knows. But it's good you two are here! Now we can work on a counterattack! This place is the perfect base! It's got water, electricity, it's even got an old radio.

Elegant Fox: Deshi... There will be no counterattack! We need to get all these kids to safety!!

One of the kids, that being Tamashiro, hears this and gets angry.

Tamashiro: If you're thinking we're scared of some villain, we ain't!

Elegant Fox: Well you should be, young man! We are up against Y/n Ankokuboshi himself. And I am not going to lead a group of LITERAL children into battle against the embodiment of evil and darkness!

Deshi: But that never stopped you, Elegant!

Elegant: Maybe, but this is different! We all went into this thinking we had a chance to beat him, and we lost everything as a price for that negligence!!! Our only chance lies in escape. We need get as far away from the city as we can.

Endeavor: She's right. As of now, evacuation is more important...

Deshi is shocked by how two top heroes can say this.

Deshi: Well that's it then. Looks like heroes finally retired.

Elegant Fox and Endeavor are both shocked by this, as Deshi has an unfortunate talk with the teacher and the students. After she does, the two heroes start telling the others the plan.

Elegant Fox: Alright, everyone. Once we get outside, find the bus, and head straight for the edge of the city, and avoid all contact with the crystal warriors. Understood?

As the kids and their teacher nod their heads, understanding what to do, Deshi sighs at what pro heroes are doing in the threat of a powerful villain.

Deshi: *sighs* I still can't believe you're giving up. After everything we did...

Elegant Fox notices that Deshi is upset with her, and before she can say anything to the young hero in training, they hear the sound of some Vengestone Guards, and outside, a young mom is shown with her daughter.

Little Girl: *crying* Mommy!!!

Mother: I'm sorry, sweetie.. *sniffling* There's no way out... I guess this is goodbye...

Elegant Fox then opens the doors, and starts fighting off the guards with a bat she found, while Endeavor fights with his fists, and they manage to hold their own, but the Guards do start to overpower them, and right as one is about to touch Endeavor, one of the kid's voices comes out.

Tamashiro: Leave her alone!

The kids then start using their Quirks, while also maintaining a safe distance between them, and instead of attacking the Vengestone guards, they hit the ground, which knocks them back, allowing them to be knocked out.

While Endeavor and the teacher are mad at what just happened, she remembers the book about Destro had written, and realizes that right now, it's necessary for survival.

Elegant Fox: Deshi, get these kids and teacher back inside! Endeavor, help these two inside.

Endeavor: What's with this change, Fox?

Deshi: Yeah. Aren't we giving up.

Elegant Fox: Not yet. It's time to take a new stand!

Elegant Fox then walks to the radio, and after cleaning up, and making sure it works, she begins to speak.

Elegant Fox: If you can hear me, if there is anyone out there listening. This is Elegant Fox, a pro hero. Our home- no. Our NATION is under attack. Enemies roam the streets. They hope to destroy everything we care for, and drive us into darkness. But I am here to tell you this; They will fail! We are not fearful! We are stronger than they know and we will retake our nation! It may be against the law, but this might be our only chance. So to anyone listening out there, use your Quirks and your skills! We will rise and defeat the demon himself, Y/n Ankokuboshi!!!

As Elegant Fox finishes her speech, many of the students start cheering, and Deshi smiles, happy to see her mentor back.

Endeavor: Elegant, why are you recommending that people use their Quirks?

Elegant Fox: Because no matter what, people need to have at least have a fighting chance against these Vengestone warriors. This might not work, but we need to try. All I'm hoping for now... Is that we can succeed with this.
