## **Description**

### **Recruiting Yu Kanroji**

After Akuma was able to get the Crown of Law, Matt suffered his third loss from Kaneki's group, and he had decided with Nacht, that they would make a team full of powerful heroes and vigilantes to take Kaneki and Akuma down. Nacht had suggested old classmate and former hero, Yu Kanroji who currently ran the Catalyst Fight Club, in an ran-down part of Tokyo, as they began to near Tokyo, they noticed the barriers and multiple officers. Matt then commented on how they'd need to get into Tokyo without being caught, the entire city was under lockdown due to the Prison Riot at Taurus Prison. Nacht said he couldn't get them through the with shadows, as they had quirk detecting drones out, then as they began circling the perimeter, they kept searching for an entrance, until they neared the sea. They found guards but as they approached the wall, Nacht was able to move a piece similar to how a door would. The two didn't understand why it did that, but accepted it and entered the locked down Tokyo. Once they entered, Tokyo was completely different to what it had been a month ago. Matt knew he had to do everything possible to fix his mistake, Nacht just kept walking, even if he said it wasn't Matt's fault, he wouldn't take that as an answer and would continue saying how it was his fault and explain why. Nacht sighed and the two begin walking through the city until, Nacht noticed the parking garage by the club and told Matt his plan, on how he'd meet with Yu first and talk with him, and say about Matt joining the tournament. Matt asked how Nacht knew about this, and Nacht said he was able to find the Catalyst Fight Club's social media where they post about tournaments, the winners and stuff like that. Matt nodded and summoned Blackwhip, but Nacht said, to get some casual clothes from a nearby store as they banned quirks and hero suits, Matt nodded and flung himself away. Nacht began walking to the club, and once he got close, the two bodyguards looked and the one asked, how Nacht knew about this place, and he replied that he knew Yu from high school, and they had to ask his name, and radio their boss, Yu. In his private room, that overlooked the pit, he lied back, his head over the back of his couch, and a girl with long black hair and purple fades and a pink streak, sat there, rubbing his chin. That's when his radio blasted, about his guard asking if he knew a Nacht Kurayami, Yu asked Hinami to get his radio, the girl who was rubbing his chin, got up and hummed in response, holding the reply as Yu said, he knew a Nacht. Nacht smiled and was allowed in, Yu got up and stood at the door, when Nacht opened it. Yu said about how he missed his days with Nacht back in UA, Nacht chuckled and said, their days of teenage chaos was over, Yu laughed and said, that they were the good days and remembered the trio in high school, Nacht simply had shorter hair, so his ponytail hung higher. Yu had shorter brown hair, and no mustache while Hinami had black hair that she dyed the tips random colors every month. Nacht then began speaking about Yu's fight club and about how most of their old classmates and current heroes despised him for quitting being a hero, Yu then spoke about his dream and how helping low time heroes get money and reputation was better then what he did normally before, Nacht just nodded in reply, he didn't have anything to reply with. After Nacht asked about if he could enter someone into the new tournament, Yu was surprised as Nacht never really cared much about Yu's fight club or anything else. Yu said it was fine, and who the kid was, and Nacht simply said, the New King, Yu didn't understand but said his fighter needed to be here by dusk. Nacht nodded, and send the pre-made text message to Matt. Matt was on top of a building, his bookbag was currently holding his hero suit, he wore a white and black hoodie, black ripped jeans and his red high tops. he also wore a belt that had a chain on the right. He then heard his phone go off, and he opened it to see, Nacht's message, he then jumped from the roof and used Blackwhip to fling himself around the buildings and got to the fight club.

### **Tournament in the Catalyst Fight Club**

Matt got to the parking garage, and once he registered, was shown to his room, it wasn't very large and was about the size of a low income apartment, it had a bathroom, mini kitchen, tv, electricity, and a few posters of both the fight clubs huge tournaments, and of popular Japanese models in lingerie. Matt sighed and just opened the drawers to check for hidden microphones and stuff like that. After about 10 minutes, he couldn't find anything and simply sat down on the bed, and opened his phone. Messages from his friends and old classmates, Ian asked where he was and what he was doing, Chance kept asking if he was okay and taking care of himself, and every message seemed to be about him, he went to close his messages and remembered back to a few nights before the Endless Night Incident. Matt, Ian, Katsu, Takashi, Chance and Mai were all training together as they knew about One for All, and they were talking with Izuku about the quirks awakening like Blackwhip, Float, and the others. As they trained, Chance felt it was harder and harder to kept her emotions and desires in, first of all, she was on her period and that increased her desires, and two, after talking with some of her friends and her parents, she had wanted to do it with Matt. She looked at him, as he took his UA Jacket off, revealing his black tank top that nearly clenched onto his four pack, she blushed and decided she'd fill her desires tonight. After the testing finished, they returned to the dormitory, and once they reached their floor, Matt, Ian, Chance and Mai all walked to their rooms, but Chance held him there for a second, and Matt asked what was up, and she responded that she wanted to chat in her room, Matt replied normally and followed her. Once they entered her room, he asked what she wanted to talk about, when she suddenly pinned him to the bed, as she pulled her jacket off, revealing her white sports bra, Matt quickly commented and said, what she was doing, She then pulled him into a passionate kiss, and Matt knew something was up. She then told him to take his clothes off, and he obviously replied no, and that this shouldn't be happening. She then grabbed him, and took his shirt off, and told him, that she couldn't hold it in any longer. She then grabbed his pants, and began pulling them down, Matt simply just sighed and had to go with it. He took his clothes off, and asked if she truly wanted this, she simply blushed and mumbled a mhm, he sighed and rubbed his temples while mumbling how they'd regret this. Chance quickly threw her clothes off, and lied down on her bed, and gave Matt a seductive look, he blushed slightly and said, he doesn't want to hurt her after this. The two then had sex, and after a while, Chance was asleep on her bed while Matt sat on the edge, wearing only underwear, he gripped his head and wondered why he did anything, he then lied back and fell asleep for about 5 hours, waking up before Chance, and getting them both a change of clothes and cooking some breakfast. making steamed rice and cooking some fish. Chance woke up a little after Matt finished, and asked what happened. Matt replied with no hesitation, and told her everything, she replied on how she was sorry and was feeling pressured by her desires and period, Matt replied quickly saying it was no problem, until he remembered she said period, and thought, Matt closed his phone, and got up, and entered his shower. After finishing up, he was told that he'd have his first match at 8pm. He replied with a simple thank you, and wrapped his hands up, and began taking deep breathes while he waited. By 8, he was escorted from his room to the lower floor, which housed the circular fight pit, Matt saw his opponent, as the announcer began speaking, he introduced the fighters as the newcomer, Matt and the old champion, Drake. Matt quickly snapped his fingers, while Drake began speaking about how he would easily win. The battle begun, and Matt easily rushed Drake, and tripped him up. He then quickly grabbed his leg, and slam him into the ground, securing his victory. As Nacht and Yu watched, Yu was impressed by Matt's ability while Nacht knew he was giving too much at the beginning, he could easily get caught. Matt returned to his room, and was given a talk by one of the higher ups in Yu's fight club. He told Matt how some fights are scripted and unscripted, his was unscripted, he also explained how using your quirks wouldn't make the fights of pure strength and the audience would get bored by strong quirk users easily taking entire tournaments by doing little work, he finally explained that if the boss likes him enough, he'd probably let Matt come to meet with him about becoming a prize fighter. Matt accepted the knowledge and said, how it's about putting on a show, and just smirked. Throughout the week, Matt kept going through his rounds, taking them with ease, and found himself in the semi-finals against an unnamed opponent, he exited the fight club and went out to buy pain relievers, headache medicine and bandages for his arms. When he exited the building, he saw Mai standing there, she was surprised to see him and Matt was shocked because if Mai was here, his old classmates would also be here, Mai then before Matt ran off told him to wait, and she explained she was here alone. Matt loosened his tense, a bit, and asked what she wanted, and she said, her courage took forever to want to say this, and how it's been here forever, and Matt knew what it was then, she admitted her feelings, her childhood feelings for Matt, and he stood there, his bag of medicine and simply turned around and used Blackwhip to get away, while telling himself, even if he loved Chance or Mai, he wouldn't date anyone due to his true duty. Mai fell to her knees, tears forming and slowly gliding down her face.

### **Semi-Finals, Gambling Fever**

Matt returned to his room, and placed his items on his dresser, as he nearly fell into his wall, as he began coughing and blood came up. He had been going beyond his limits during the past two months, and didn't take proper time to heal and simply walked most his inquires off, he grabbed the pain killers and his new pills, he and Nacht had to order in, Matt kneeled on his sink, and got a glass of water, swallowing three painkillers and the new drug, meant to reduce the pain of his old and new inquires, swallowing four, and limping over to his bed, and lying down, he knew if he kept the inquires up, he'd loose the ability to move certain body parts. He grabbed his phone, and saw two new texts, one from Ian saying how they would get him back to UA, even if he used all his quirks to stop them, and Chance's read that she need him to come back and talk with her, she had news and wanted to see him. He sighed and sat back up, saying how he wouldn't get sleep if these two couldn't stop, he grabbed his sleeping pills, and swallowed two, falling back and drifting away, his first actual full sleep since leaving UA, two months prior. Matt slept till the afternoon the next day, and once he woke up, he was told his next match was near dusk, and Matt thanked the guard for the info and got up and made himself food, and exited his room. He needed to talk to Nacht, he hadn't talked to him for nearly a week and a half now, he sighed and went outside and looking around the parking garage, that was part of the fight club, as he did, a young adult with long black hair, purple fade and a pink streak through the front asked, why he was out here, Matt replied he needed air and a thinking moment, the girl replied, that she came out for a similar reason and asked if he wanted to talk, he said it was the fine and the girl neared closer. she wore a yellow crop top, purple baggy shorts, black leggings with yellow stars pictured all over them, red semi-heels, a white jacket half jacket, with purple on the bottom of the jacket and sleeves, fishnet arm coverings, yellow spiked armlets, a belt with a silver chain held on it's right, finally she had teal eyes with yellow star pupils, and a lip piercing on both lips, those being medium-ish sized yellow studs. She said, her name was Hinami and that she was the boss' companion, Matt then realized he could use this to his advantage and learn something about Yu, so he asked how the boss was, Hinami described him as a normal cold person, who once in the Fever would be extremely different. She then said, that out of the Fever, he was normally bored and calmer and smarter, whilst in the Fever, he felt enlightened, willing to risk major and dangerous. Matt said how the fight club, was actually pretty nice, Hinami replied that she was here since the beginning, and she said that Yu has always wanted to help heroes who can't make it big, or are too poor to have large agencies, so he made the Catalyst Fight Club, Matt then replied that it was a noble cause to do so. Hinami smiled, and said, she liked him and Yu probably would aswell. Matt thanked Hinami for her time, and said his mind was clearer now, he smiled and wished her a good day, Hinami waved and returned to Yu's room, where him and Nacht sat at the table playing Blackjack, and Yu explained his Fever addiction to Nacht, he explained, that the feeling during gambling, or betting everything on something was the Fever, Yu loved it and was addicted, he then explained how he found a way to take the Fever to the extreme and that only he and Hinami who experience the Fever to this level, where once they get excited, they both begin to make irrational decisions for the sake of the gamble. Nacht said, that it was a decently terrible idea to do that, but he could see Yu being one to believe in that, he grabbed his glass of whiskey, and drank the rest, placing the glass down and pulling out 15850 yen, and placing it as a bet, he wanted to test Yu's Fever. Yu smirked and said, that he would being losing about 120 American Dollars and that pretty bad for someone like him, Nacht simply placed his iconic smile and narrowed his eyes, while saying that he knew what he did. Yu chuckled and Nacht placed his king of clubs and 10 of hearts, Yu laughed, while placing his ace of spades and 10 of spades, and said, he won. Nacht simply laughed and said, that he could care less about that money being lost. Matt walked into the arena, his new fans calling out his name and chanting for him, Matt stood there waiting for his opponent, and out came a man who was decently buff with red hair, that was stylized to be a spike in the middle. He revealed himself to be John, who used a quirk that would take Matt down, then before the fight began, the announcer called out, that the semi-finals and finals would allow quirk usage. Matt nodded, and powered up OFA, and as the match began, John spun quickly, his hair igniting and he became basically a human sawblade as he flew into Matt, Matt quickly used OFA at 45% and Blackwhip to hold John, centimeters away from his face and body, Matt then used Blackwhip to throw John into the far wall, as he did, he coughed a bit of blood up. Matt was going beyond his limits, once again and Blackwhip fizzled out, Matt gripped his arms and Yu looked closer, saying maybe Nacht's little fighter wasn't as hot shit as he was earlier. John got up, and cracked his neck, and told Matt this time, he'd go. Matt began breathing heavy, and fell to his knees, he couldn't catch his breath, Nacht got up concerned and asked Yu to stop the match, it took him forever to realize Matt wasn't okay, he could see that Matt was struggling to keep up with John's attacks. Yu replied, to Nacht, that he won't stop matches unless a major concern is on the table. Nacht began to feel concerned and scared that Matt would end up going too far. Matt got back up, and manifested Blackwhip to support him arms, wrapping his arms to support them while he battled, and charged OFA once again. As he did, Nacht and Yu watched as he shot forward, and began punching John rapidly, each punch increasing in both speed and strength, until he sent John flying into the wall on the opposite side of the arena, his face covered in blood. Blackwhip and OFA fizzled out, and Matt slowly began walking his way out of the arena, and to his room, in which he collapsed and had to drag himself onto his bed, and he began gasping for air. Matt then said, that the pills plus his condition, weren't a good combination, and he'd have to deal with the pain and everything, Nacht and Yu sat in Yu's office, and he began talking about the grand finale, with some kid named Ian Todoroki, and Nacht was shocked to hear that name, both him and Matt didn't think anyone followed them.

### **Finale & Gate Open**

The next day came, and Matt sat up, he had gotten no sleep so he wasn't feeling 100% yet, but he had a tournament to win. He got up and wrapped his arms tight in bandages, and exited his room, he was shocked to see Nacht standing outside, and Nacht explained two things, that he'd be facing someone he used to know in the final, and that if he won, Yu would bring him in for a talk, Matt nodded and Nacht told him, no mercy. Matt looked at Nacht, his tired, emotion dried eyes staring into Nacht, he said, there is never mercy. Nacht and Matt walked their separate paths, Nacht returned to Yu's office, where Hinami lied on his lap, her head rubbing against Yu's neck, Nacht simply looked at the two, and took his spot on Yu's revolving chair and turned to the window, to watch. Matt entered the arena, and saw familiar navy blue hair fading into yellow, and said, why are you here. Ian sported an angry face, and said, that Matt can't do this all alone and he needed to return, Matt simply moved his eyes up, his expression nearly piercing Ian's soul, as Matt said, he could handle everything alone, and he was the strongest. Ian grit his teeth and shot a lightning arrow piercing to Matt, but he simply destroyed it with 20% of OFA, and said, they were no match anymore, but he'd willingly go all out and beat Ian to a pulp. Ian, pissed, replied, his sister was hurt from Matt, and close friends hurt aswell, Matt took a deep breath and rushed Ian, with a 35% rush, he tried to grab Ian's arm, but Ian used his water to climb the wall, and summoned lightning, hurling it into the water, residing by Matt's feet, Matt felt a sharp pain rush through his head, as he turned but not in time, the lightning rushing through him, Matt stood there, his insides felt ripped up by the lightning, he hacked blood onto the ground, as Ian flew forward and using his water, to grab Matt and hurl him into the wall, as he did, both Mai and Chance jumped up and called to Ian, he needed to stop using so much force, Ian turned and said, the ass wouldn't listen to reason, and kicked him, sending him crashing to the middle of the arena, he lied there, his mind racing, his old best friend just beat him up, he began mumbling as Ian walked up, and he grabbed Ian's legs, and flung him into the ground, yelling, as he began, launching multiple 25% punches into Ian's body, as he began saying how he only left to help them, and know they came back, ruining his plans. Ian, then kicked Matt away, saying that they could've easily talked it out, then he used his newest move, Ocean Lightning God, and his lightning and water together formed a near suit of armor, and began throwing lightning tridents, with water, the bolts shocking Matt, as he ran. Everyone looked over and Chance called to Matt, that they needed to talk, Matt looked to her and told her to keep her mouth shut. He grit his teeth and used Blackwhip to launch himself to the floor where the spectators watched, Chance and Mai saw Matt holding himself there, and they went to say something, as he flung himself forward, and he charged 50% of OFA into his leg, and he kicked Ian's head, flinging him into the wall and knocking him clean out. Matt stood there, he felt nothing, he was then declared the winner and would get to meet with Yu. He exited the arena, and Ian was taken to the inhouse, medical center, Chance and Mai ran down to keep an eye on Ian, as Matt began walking up the parking garage to get to Yu's office, Nacht and Hinami were asked to exit his office, they did so right as Matt got up there, he entered Yu's office and sat down across from Yu. As they sat there, Yu began talking about the fights and how due to Matt's obvious strength and physical prowess, he could become a top scripted fighter, Matt chuckled and said, that this club really was special and was nice. Yu said he got the club from the previous owner, who couldn't maintain it any longer, but Yu's spirit would keep it alive, so Yu began working hard to make The Catalyst Fight Club bigger than it was, as Hinami and Nacht waited outside, Ian, Chance, Mai and Itachi quickly rushed up the garage, Mai using her ice, to quickly rush up the garage, Ian and Itachi both propelling themselves up the sides of it, and Chance purely running. Nacht knew this moment was crucial, and quickly told Hinami that they were UA Students, and Hinami quickly took a fighting position, and a bright light emerged from her, the garage, Ian and Itachi, as it did, she hit send.

### **Stargate and Gambling on Life**

As Yu and Matt talked, Yu noticed a message from Hinami pop-up, and asked, if he was a UA Student, and he said, used to be, now he was a vigilante and the new king. Yu then asked, if he'd gamble his life. Back with Hinami and Nacht, Nacht quickly asked Hinami if she could handle these two, she replied, that if after all the years of friendship they had, she'd be sad if he didn't. Nacht smiled, and wished her luck, while he used the shadows, plunging into them, and emerging on floor 1, using his shadows to withstrain both Chance and Mai, Chance quickly asked why Nacht and Matt left, Nacht replied that only alone could they take Nemesis down, to which Chance said, that Matt wasn't okay anymore, Nacht then told her, this no longer concerns UA. Chance was now irritated, she still deeply cared for Matt and had news he needed to hear, now that three months had passed, and a major sign would soon show, on floor zero, Itachi and Ian took no time, both using their respective ultimate moves, Dripping Arrow and Phoenix Flame, both flew straight towards Hinami, but seemed to be repelled by an invisible force, and nearly hit the two, but they both helped the other, using their quirks to disperse the attacks. Ian stood there and told Hinami, they didn't have time or want to fight her, they wanted to get their friend, Hinami responded that Yu wasn't done with his meeting and that they didn't seem like friends, considering Matt beat Ian up with no mercy, Ian grit his teeth and almost attacked, when Itachi told him to calm down and use logic, Ian exhaled and apologized to Itachi, and as he did he noticed a star plus a name engraved near Itachi's neck, and said, that Itachi had a star with the name, Akarui, Hinami for a second showed a face of disbelief, as no one figured out her quirk so quickly. Ian saw her face, and told Itachi to get to him, they both retreated to a water sphere, that he created, and began explaining his thought process to Itachi, that there were most likely objects marked like Itachi was, and that this explained their attacks being repelled back, but he said he didn't know how to break the order. Itachi nodded, and the two both dashed from the left and right of the sphere and quickly began looking for anymore objects, as they ran Ian noticed a vehicle marked, Ai, and quickly summoned his lightning and hit the car, it repelled and luckily Ian closed his eyes, as the lightning cut under his left eye, Itachi quickly turned and yelled to Ian, as Hinami smirked and reminded herself of how Stargate is impossible to take down, especially with your friends on the line, Ian, then remembered a night he had with his siblings, him and Mai were both 11, while their older sister, Yuri was at the time, 17, and she took them out stargazing and explained some stars and constellations to them, Ian smiled while, he slid out of the way, and verbally said, he was thankful for all the time, Yuri did stuff with him and Mai, while calling to Itachi, he wanted to be forgiven later. As he did, lightning ran and hit Itachi on his star, as it did the star looked to almost disintegrate, Hinami saw the light fade from Itachi, Ian then realized it and called Hinami out, that her quirk was most definitely based off the Aries star constellation, and it marked four objects, Hinami's face was shocked, as she didn't think he'd get it so quickly. Ian then used the water drips, he left to transfer lightning to destroy the Ai star marking on the car, and Hinami jumped at the sudden sound, Nacht heard it, and realized he may need to go up and help. Ian turned to attack, when a golden star-like object, flew into his arm, and he quickly used his water to protect his arms from breaking and burning, the heat was quickly turning his water to smoke. Ian quickly shot lightning at Hinami, if his theory was correct, his attack would hit Hinami and win him and Itachi the fight, just as he did, the bolt reflected, and once again came speeding towards him, he quickly used his water to deflect the bolt, and Hinami called to Ian, that he nearly did beat her, but his eagerness to win lost the battle, as he fell back, he noticed a fifth star located on a curb, reading Nensho, and then the final star on Hinami's stomach near her thigh, read Saiko, Ian grit his teeth and went to attack the Nensho star, when light emitted from her, the curb, a new vehicle, Itachi and Ian, realigning the stargate. Hinami then said, that he'd have to try a lot harder to beat her. Matt sat there, and quickly gave an answer, if it meant all his enemies would be taken down and his friends and family safe, then he would easily gamble his life away. Yu smirked and said, he was a good guy, Matt closed his eyes and replied, thanks, to then which Yu slugged Matt in the gut, sending him through the office door, out into the parking garage, Hinami, Ian and Itachi looked over to Matt, Nacht heard the door fall, which told him it failed, he let Chance and Mai go, as he ran up, Ian and Itachi saw their former mentor run by, as he called to Yu, but he just told Nacht to quiet down, Matt got up and his gut felt like it had been tore at, Yu then punched Matt's gut again, and the same feeling came over, yet Yu didn't nearly punch as hard. Matt then realized that whatever Yu's quirk was gave him a rough fighting aura, Matt stood and braced himself, and told Yu, that he wasn't here to fight, but to get Yu's help. Yu told him to shut up, and he cracked his knuckles and rushed to Matt, punching him into the ground while Chance called out, to stop, Yu said that anyone from UA doesn't deserve to know, Matt got back up, as Hinami turned to Yu, Nacht began yelling to Yu that they needed his help, and didn't come here to fight him, Yu grit his teeth and asked Nacht if this was a joke to him. Nacht told Yu it wasn't a joke, and they seriously needed his help to take down a villain, this irritated Yu more, as he said, that they were still doing hero business and he didn't work with them, Nacht tried to talk but Yu grabbed Matt by the hood, and threw him into a nearby vehicle. Matt coughed blood onto the ground, and Chance worried and called to Matt, he snapped and yelled at her to shut up, and her annoying presence was making talking with Yu, impossible. He then wiped the blood, and told Yu, that they no longer were heroes, but were instead a vigilante group, led by him. They too wanted nothing to do with traditional heroes, his friends from 1A were shocked by the news, and began yelling to Matt, Yu then walked to Matt and asked him something, he pointed to his classmates, and turned away. Yu then turned to them, and quickly rushed them all, knocking them all out.

### **Valhalla's Formation**

After Yu knocked out, the group from 1A, they retuned to Yu's office, and began talking about the plans for Valhalla, a team led by Matt with Nacht as the vice-commander, and they wanted Yu and Hinami to join them, to command the assault unit. Yu sat down, grabbing a can of soda, and asked, why exactly they wanted him. Nacht went to speak, but Matt spoke up and said, he got to know who Yu was from Nacht's stories and research, and he believed that Yu was a true hero. Yu then remembered those same words, he was told by people he saved, and he said thanks, Matt got up and stuck his hand out to Yu, Yu grabbed it, and said, he'd join Valhalla, with no concern. As they exited the office, a voice seemed to broadcast over the entirety of Tokyo, Matt recognized who it was instantly, Akuma was broadcasting his voice, and exclaimed that Tokyo was now closed by a forcefield, that Akuma placed, and would only be taken down, if they found the user who put it up, until then he'd sent assassins after the heroes in the city, Matt quickly said they needed to find the man. As they did, multiple people entered Tokyo.
