The police convoy transporting the Villains who had invaded Yuei academy were at high, high alert.
News that All For One himself was involved in the assault had everyone on edge.
They had made one massive mistake however, in making the choice not to wait on heavy backup from pro heroes, before they began moving the prisoners.
There had been several offers for Japan's higher ranking heroes, such as endeavor, and edgeshot, and smaller ones like Kamui Woods, to accompany the prisoner convoy.
In the end, however, the call had been made, and it was decided that speed was the more important factor at the moment. The lesser time they took to get the prisoners to jail and secure cells, the better.
Had they chosen to wait on powerful escorts, things might have gone differently, but alas, such was hindsight.
The convoy of police cars, consisting of over 20 vehicles suddenly came to a sudden and abrupt stop as the car in front suddenly and without warning, crashed into the air itself.
Complete and total chaos followed, as the entire convoy abruptly had to stop. Some managed to stop without crashing into each other. Many were not as fortunate and instead slammed into the cars in front.
As several police officers exited their vehicles, guns drawn, the air itself seemed to have gotten thicker, the temperature having risen several times what it had been.
That, however, was just the beginning, as the sky, having been clear as it could possibly be, suddenly saw clouds, dark and strong gather above, and around them.
All around, there was complete confusion, as everyone asked the same question. What the hell was going on?
Officer Sakasuki was the first to reach the front of the convoy. As he approached, careful and gun drawn, worried about what he was about to find, it seemed as if the very air in front of the car… Moved.
For just a moment, it seemed as if the place where the ha crashed into, there was a thick, Grey mass… Then a bolt of lightning from above struck his gun, making the cartridge explode.
He screamed in pain as the explosion took most of his hand with it, and he fell to the ground, clutching his now maimed limb.
Above, a booming voice suddenly appeared, as if from everywhere. So loud, and all around, as if it was broadcasted by loudspeakers from all directions.
" AH, GLORIOUS NIPPON, HOW NICE TO BE ABLE TO PERFORM MY ARTS ON THIS STAGE ONCE MORE!"
Above the now downed Sakasuki another set of clouds rapidly gathered, and out from it emerged a figure.
The figure was dressed in a suit of countless small, green plates, giving him the look as if he was dressed in some stylized lamellar armor of old.
As if to add to that, above his chest he wore a set of stylized golden plates, one layer above the other, each plate infused with emeralds.
On his hands and legs, he wore corresponding gauntlets and leg guards respectively, each just as golden as his breastplate, and each also interlined with emeralds.
By his shoulders were two golden clasps connected the uppermost breastplate, and to them was fastened a giant, thick, billowy purple cape, though calling it a cloak would have been more accurate.
It was an intimidating appearance, and could easily have worked well for any Villain or hero.
Or at least it would have, if not for the crown of the outfit.
For resting atop the cloak that went around the neck, was a giant, blue, dome of glass, covering the head of the man completely, and hiding it from sight. The ball of glass looked like nothing so much as a big fishbowl, turned on it's head.
It single-handedly took away any gravitas the outfit might have had.
The man, seemingly completely indifferent to that fact, kept on with his monologue.
"NOW, MY DEAR OFFICERS OF THE LAW… YOU HAVE SOME FRIEND OF MINE IN YOUR CUSTODY… I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU YIELD THEM UP TO ME… LEST YOU SHALL FACE THE WRATH…. OF MYSTERIO!"
With that final declaration, 7 bolts of lightning struck behind him.
The police answer, was for no less than 24 guns to open fire at him from below.
The bullets seemed to pass through him as if he was a ghost, and he sighed, the echo of which boomed all around.
"VERY WELL! SAY NOT THEN, THAT THOU HASN'T BEEN WARNED OF THE CONSEQUENCES!!!"
And with that, he slowly raised his hand, and as the bullets passed through him, he snapped his fingers as he said.
"FULMINOUS VENITE!"
Bolts of lightning struck from the skies that had so suddenly blackened out the skies, hitting every gun that had been raised, as what had happened to Sakasuki repeated itself 24 times.
The violence was accompanied by screams of pain and anguish the cars in the back tried to back away, only to slam into a steel wall that had appeared as if from nowhere.
Mists began to appear, as suddenly as the dark clouds above, and accompanied by lightning, it rolled in over the police convoy.
As it rolled in, the figure that had declared itself Mysterio disappeared from where he had been floating in the sky above.
In the mist, two small explosions sounded to accompany the screams, along with more gunfire.
Then flashes of bright purple so powerful that not even the thick fog could hide them.
The explosions continued, then followed by another round of purple lights. Then, silence.
Silence as the unseen force moved through the convoy. Unseen, and unstoppable towards the center. Where a large car with enormously thick walls sat like a sitting duck.
No explosion followed though a sharp sizzling whine sounded throughout the mist.
Then, after a bit of silence, one singular gunshot rang out.
Not long afterwards, another purple light was lit up through the mists.
Then, as sudden as it had come, the mists and the clouds, suddenly began to clear up, and less than 10 minutes later, the sky and the air around was as clear as if it had been all day.
The gruesome and permanent injuries to over a dozen policemen did not disappear, though only one officer actually died.
The officer in question was one Hinata Makoto, having been found by the wrenched open doors of the center for the convoy, the ones that had contained Rhino, and his partner Shocker.
The officer was found on the ground, still clutching her gun, which had been fired exactly once. The way it was pointed was clearly away from her, and towards the door of the armored car.
The bullet, however, had taken her straight in the head, killing her instantly.
She was the only dead person on that day.
The fiasco was one of the most humiliating episodes of Japan's police force in decades.
The only "Good" aspect of the whole disaster, was that it could have been even worse, as the Villain identified as Mysterio, had only broken out a handful of the criminals, leaving the vast majority still cuffed and helpless.
Even the mighty noumu, the man who had gone toe to toe with All Might had been left captured.
Unfortunately, despite his strength, Noumu was only the second most notable prisoner of the convoy.
