"⭐I can float⭐"
"⭐I have super hearing⭐"
Akira jumped across the rooftops as he felt two sets of energy wrap around his body and his ears respectively. Using this combination of <Orders>, he was very effective at finding trouble in the streets of Mustafu.
Unless done by complete professionals, crimes were almost not silent. With lots at stake for both parties involved, adrenaline pumping through their body, it was bound to cause at least some noise. Akira took advantage of that, floating across the rooftops at high speeds to cover more ground and arrive at crime scenes in no time.
Even if his <New Order> quirk only allowed for him to create one order at a time, it would still be better than most. But with the ability to make two of these, an almost unlimited number of combinations and strategies existed for him to take advantage of.
His right ear twitched at a sudden noise, causing Akira to stop in his tracks. He concentrated, listening to an aggravated voice as he tried to pinpoint the exact location.
He was off in an instant, dashing towards the source of the conflict as he jumped, ignoring the force of gravity, soaring through the sky's.
"If you won't apologise, then we will just have to teach you a lesson!"
"Yeah!"
By the time he had arrived the situation had already seemingly already escalated and was on the verge of advancing to violence. Akira watched the situation with narrowed eyes, perched on the edge of the roof.
Instead of focusing his attention on the two people on the left who were holding their weapons, he focused on the lone person on the right. He didn't know where from, but he seemed familiar, and he looked and felt dangerous.
A flicker of blue fire was enough for Akira to instantly recognise who it was…Dabi! He leapt from the rooftop, jumping in between the two men and the large wave of fire that Dabi had let off in a split second.
A small burst of wind was enough to break his fall, and Akira was now right in front of the scalding flames. He held out his hand, creating a massive blast of air which sent the raging flames retreating backwards. What he had just done was cancel his super hearing <Order> in exchange for a more suitable one, air manipulation.
"What are you doing? Didn't you see them try to attack me? I heard you up there!" Dabi growled, looking behind Akira as the two thugs ran off. It seems they knew they were severely outmatched.
"I did, but the fact still remains that you tried to kill them." Akira replied, his expression neutral.
"Tch!"
Dabi swiped his hands across the floor, creating a wave of blue heat that scorched the earth and made its way towards Akira.
Akira jumped up, kicking the air and using it as a platform. He kept kicking until he rested on one of his platforms, safe away from the fire that raised the temperature of the atmosphere by several degrees.
While Akira stayed in the air, Dabi reared his fist back, flames forming around his fist as he screamed, "Jet Burn!!!"
A massive pillar of fire erupted from Dabi's outstretched fist, the sheer force of the flames creating shockwaves that cracked the surrounding buildings and pavements. The concentrated beam of fire was on Akira in an instant.
The shockwave from the force of the attack shattered Akira's platform of wind, which may have been his saving grace as it allowed him to reposition himself mid-air and kick downwards, dodging the attack by a breadth's hair.
Akira landed on the ground with a thud, feeling the heat of the floor and the surroundings burning his clothes. He narrowed his eyes. He was a far cry from what Dabi had grown to in the series, but still very strong. Right now he was a raging teenager who would kill someone at the first sign of anger. Coupled with his quirk, he was an extremely dangerous man.
He got up, looking at Dabi with a teasing look through his mask.
"Jet Burn? Sounds like you take lots of inspiration from Endeavour, you a fan?"
That seemed to have been the final straw for Dabi, as all reservations about holding back were removed. A huge amount of flames emitted from his body, burning his flesh in the process.
'Shit, maybe I went too far.' Akira looked on in nervousness as the flames started getting bigger.
[A/N: Dabi is still a teenager at this point, so with all that happened to him and his hormones going crazy, it only makes sense how fragile and angry he is. It's only as he grows older does he learn to control his emotions, which he doesn't really show until later on]
If he didnt come he would have killed those two thugs, and although they were thugs, Akira saw in the manga that Dabi wasn't against hurting innocent people to achieve his goals. He needed to capture him, here and now, but that goal was slowly becoming less and less of an objective, and more of a wish given what Akira was looking at.
The flames clung to Dabi's form, filling the air with the intoxicating smell of burning flesh. They reached their apex in both hatred and heat, and Dabi channelled it all into a single attack, sending it towards Akira with a raging roar.
Akira barely had a moment to react as he cancelled his <Orders> and created two new ones, fire resistance and fire manipulation. If he wanted to defeat Dabi, he would have to fight fire with fire, literally.
The huge tsunami of flames swept through the streets, destroying everything indiscriminately in its path. The air grew thicker and Akira's eyes burned. He gaped at the sight, never having seen something like this.
Despite the heat resistance order he had, he could still feel the temperature clinging onto his skin. He knew for sure if he was hit by it, he would die, that was just how strong his flames were. They were much stronger than Endeavours.
He held out his hand, ignoring the sections of his outfit that burned alongside the surroundings, and concentrated on the fire in front of him. It was like Akira felt a pair of invisible hands around the fire, allowing him to control it. He moved the pair of hands, reflecting the entirety of the flames back towards Dabi with a grunt of exertion.
Akira smirked, catching his own breath, 'Have a taste of your own medicine.'
The blue fire filled his vision for what seemed like hours. 2 pairs of flames battle for supremacy, burning and expanding in a battle to beat another. It eventually cleared up, climatically revealing an exhausted and burned Dabi, kneeling on the floor as steam emitted from his tired form.
"Grrr…" Dabi looked up, a look of pure hatred in his eyes as he hissed unknown threats to Akira. Akira didn't show any visible reaction, instead rushing towards Dabi to try and finish him off.
He cancelled his <Orders>, but just before he could utter any new ones the sound of sirens filled his ears, and the scorched alleyway was filled with bright colours of red and blue. Akira turned around, glancing at the cop car which had just turned up, then back at Dabi.
Akira ran as fast as he could towards Dabi, eventually closing the distance and touching him. With a smirk he said, "⭐Should Todoroki Touya be placed in handcuffs, he will confess to all of his crimes⭐"
Akira didn't stick around long enough to see the shocked look on Dabi's face. Hopefully with this, Dabi would be going to jail for a very long time. He prayed they also offered therapy, as he definitely needed it.
He arrived back at his hotel room, taking off his tattered clothes. He took his spoils from the night out of his half burned pants and sighed.
'Looks like over half of them are burned…'
It was good, amazing even, especially for his first night on the job, but the risks certainly did not equal the rewards.
Setting the money to the side, he looked at his bed like one would look at their soul-mate, and he was lost in its embrace, falling asleep instantly.
