[Several recent reports had been streaming in of strange anomalies around Musutafu, namely a strange man capable of seemingly teleporting. He had quickly made a name for himself as The Boss, and Isuku was sent out to find him. As he approached the place where one could speak to The Boss in hopes of being recruited, Isuku noticed a man in a hoodie trailing him.]

Deku, slowly turned around, fully looking at the man. He narrowed his eyes, but stayed calm and kept his cool, starting off without violence. “Who are you?” He questioned.
[The young man looked up, startled.]
"I-I'm Vinegar D-Doppio, why? I-I-I'm just walking ho-home."
Deku gained some confusion, not meaning to startle the man as he held his hands out awkwardly smiling. “Sorry! I didn’t mean to scare. But it’s dangerous. You shouldn’t be out here.”
[He started to respond, but interrupted him self with an imitation of a cell phone.]
"Oh, sorry! One minute."
[He made a phone with his hand, and started to walk behind a lamp post. Instead of Doppio, though, the man that walked out...]
[He tossed the shirt aside, cracking his back.]
"Thank you, Doppio. I'll take it from here."
[He looked over to Isuku.]
"The Boss, at your service."
Deku’s eyes widened in shock, but he wasted no time, immediately getting into a fighting stance, one for all visibly activating around him. “You’re the villain I’ve been sent after!”
[Diavolo raised an eyebrow at him.]
"Villain? Hardly. And... you? You can't be more than a high-schooler, and you've been sent after the most infamous crime boss to ever life? That seems... unintelligent."
[Suddenly, Diavolo was standing on a nearby lamppost, face obscured by the darkness.]
"What will you do to me, boy? Nothing."
“I’ll do the best I can!” He yelled out confidently. He then held out his arms and flicked his fingers, sending a powerful shockwave towards the boss.
[Diavolo had no trouble, disappearing before the Shockwave reached him. He reappeared directly behind Isuku, King Crimson's detached arm already in motion backhanding him. Isuku went flying with the force of the impact.]
"Weak."
Deku’s danger sense picked up the presence of diavolo behind him, but he didn’t see him move at all! How did he hit him?! Deku got sent flying into a tree, but quickly recovered, doing something with his hands. “Transmission: Third gear.” Suddenly, Deku rocketed back at the boss, his speed massively increased.
[Diavolo dissappeared again, reappearing far away.]
"Nothing you do is sufficient enough. You will fail, inevitably."
[He dissappeared, reappearing in the instant before King Crimson's hand hit Isuku square in the face, once again launching him before he could even process him being there.]
This time, deku got launched upward, still confused on what was going on with this man. Deku then emitted a thick cloud of purple smoke, obscuring himself. Then, suddenly, he came up from behind the boss, aiming a dropkick to his back.
[He dissappeared again, King Crimson fully manifesting. He slammed down with both arms, directly smashing into Isuku, then followed up with a low punch to Deku's spine, launching him.]
"I will give you credit. King Crimson should have already punched a hole through you, yet you remain standing. I am impressed, for that part."
Deku coughed up blood upon the strike to his spine, hitting a nearby tree. ‘Something’s off…’ Deku thought to himself.
[Diavolo walked through the smoke, looming. King Crimson hovered behind him, clear in Deku's eye.]
"Have you given up, yet? Admit defeat, and I will spare your life. Run home, tell them you found nothing."
“I’d rather die than give up.” Deku said defiantly. If he wanted to hit him, he’d have to try and predict where he’d teleport. Or so he thought. It was better than nothing. To test his theory, he lunged, throwing a punch, relying on his danger sense.
[He indeed vanished, reappearing again across the street.]
"You think yourself special? So be it."
“Damn it!” He said angrily. He could never hope to beat this man if he couldn’t even land a hit on him. It seemed impossible.
[He appeared directly in front of him, King Crimson swinging. Punch after punch, in a rapid barrage, with the last punch a powerful one that launched him. He started walking again, King Crimson's gaze piercing.]
"You. Will. Never. Beat. ME."
Even with danger sense alerting him of every attack, deku was unable to react to or block any of them. The punches hit like trucks, the last one launching him across the forest. But he didn’t stay down.
[King Crimson blurred into view, a looming figure glowing hot pink, along with Diavolo.]
"I can end this. I do not wish to. Walk away, child. Things are at hand much greater than you."
“I don’t know what your plans are… but i won’t let you hurt anyone! I’ll fight you until my last breath!”
[Diavolo was suddenly behind him, though out of range. King Crimson, however, was right there. He grabbed Isuku's head, hands like vice grips, and began to squeeze.]
"That can he arranged."
Suddenly, multiple large and very loud explosions went off around the combatants, a new one entering the scene. “Hey, jackass! Stop spouting your bullshit to Izuku. He’ll never listen!”
[King Crimson and Diavolo disappeared, reappearing behind the new kid with arm in motion. Bakugo launched across the area, crashing through a building.]
"I will take my leave. We will meet again."
[He dissappeared.]
Bakugo slammed his fist into the building as hard as he could, denting it. “Damn coward!” He yelled out, but the boss was gone. Bakugo then went to help his injured friend, bringing him back to U.A.
