It was a quiet night in the city of Musutafu, everyone was going about their normal everyday lives. Cars were driving by and parents were carrying their half asleep kids in their arms on their way home for the day. It was so peaceful and quiet no one could have guessed what was going on behind the scenes.
In an alley not too far away there was a loud crunching sound as a man's nose was caved in. The man in question plopped to the ground, blood pouring from his nostrils in an endless waterfall.
"It's not good to run Tanaka, You owe the boss money and I've come to collect with interest," a man came into view, his hands a rough and clear crystalline texture. Blood ran down the crystal of his right fist and splattered the floor.
Tanaka looked up at the man and nervously sputtered,"H-hey Jack, just calm down we can talk about this! I don't have the money can we extend it or make some form of payment plan?." Tanaka backed up as he said this and eventually hit the wall behind him.
The man, now named Jack, grinned as he saw this. "That's not how this works Tanaka so here is how this is gonna go. You give me what you owe us or you have a little accident and we take it anyway. So what's it gonna be?", as he said this Tanaka's eyes widened.
"Don't do this man, I really don't have the money!," as he yelled this Jack crystallized his other fist and put both hands above his head in a smashing gesture. "Then I guess we have nothing more to talk about now do we?", as he said this Jack brought his hands down. Tanaka saw this and closed his eyes, waiting for his end.
Seconds passed and nothing happened to Tanaka's great surprise. He looked up and was surprised to see a figure clad in white holding Jack's hands down. "You want to put your hands down there pal, or am I going to have to make you?," the figure says in a calm tone.
Jack was surprised by the interference but quickly got frustrated, "I don't know who the hell you are, but you shouldn't have interfered in this," as he said this his legs crystallized as he aimed a knee towards the guys stomach.
The figure flipped over the attacker, managing to dodge the knee. "I'm Frost, just in case you wonder who kicked your butt tonight," as he said this Frost swept his leg out and sent Jack tumbling to the ground.
He proceeded to take a shiny metal ball out of his utility belt and was about to press the button when he felt a pain in his leg that sent him to the ground. He got up, fighting the pain as it didn't seem to be broken yet to be confronted with Jack aiming a fist at his face.
'ah crud, this is going to hurt a lot,' Jack's fist met Frost's face and his feet dragged against the floor as he gained purchase on the ground again. Ignoring the pain he threw a punch only for the man to dodge as he hit the wall, a hole forming from the impact.
Frost wasn't done yet and whipped his leg out with double the speed of before, catching Jack in the side and sending him hurtling towards a dumpster in the alley. Once again believing he had ended the fight, he is about to take the shiny ball out of his utility belt again when the man's body began to transform.
Jack's entire body turned into the same crystalline structure as he slams into the dumpster, creating a hole in the dumpster. Pushing out of the dumpster, he looks furiously towards Frost and speaks, " you are becoming more of a pest by the minute. Fortunately I excel at crushing pests."
Frost takes a look at the change in the situation and sees Jack start charging towards him. He is slower now due to the new weight of his body. He kicks off the wall and flips over Jack as he lands on the other end of the alley, where the hostage Tanaka is.
Grabbing him, Frost picks him up and kicking off the wall he manages to grab the roof of one of the building on either end of the wall. Pulling himself onto the roof, Frost puts Tanaka down before saying, "You should be safe here, I'll be back when I am finished."
Jumping back down he puts his full attention on the fight. Jack starts charging towards him once again, his feet booming and leaving holes in the concrete where he steps. Frost decides to meet him head on, "Ok bud, you're in for a whole world of pain," he throws a fist towards Jack's head with all his might and it is enough to send him hurtling back to the wall.
Not wasting any more time, he runs towards Jack, a new silver ball already in his hands and the button now pressed. The light blinks blue as it was supposed and right before it went off he threw it at him, "Hey Diamondhead, I think it's time you chill out!." immediately after saying it he regretted it, 'Note to self: Brainstorm quips and jokes before saying them, that made even me cringe.'
The sphere erupted and thick frose ice encased the man, keeping him in place. He tried wriggling out, but the ice was solid. "You best hope I don't find you, or you're dead, you hear Frosty?!", as Jack yelled this Frost looked at him before giving a chuckle. "like I'm going to be scared of a off brand Ben 10 alien."
Jumping back to the roof, he got Tanaka down and made sure he was ok. Seeing no injuries, he patted him on the shoulder. "We should be out of the woods for now man but I suggest you call the cops, that ice isn't gonna hold him forever," as Frost stated this, the man bowed to him gratefully. "Thank you, thank you, I will call them right away. I owed them money and I don't think he'll be the only ones coming to collect. I don't know what to do!," his phone hovered over the call button for the police.
Contemplating this, Frost stated,"First call the police and when they get here explain your situation to them, I'm sure they will be able to put some protection detail on you." The man still nervous, decided to head the advice and began calling the police. After explaining reporting the crime he put the phone down to speak to Frost only to see that he was gone.'That's weird, he was just here,' leaving Tanaka scratching his head in confusion as he waited for the cops.
Meanwhile, on the roof of a skyscraper, Izuku sat down and carefully peeled off his white mask, his face sweaty, blood dripping from his nose where crystal face got him, a bruise already forming next to it. 'Man I really got rocked around back there, I gotta remember to be more prepared and have my gadgets ready and deployed so that this kind of thing doesn't happen.I probably could have avoided this if I trapped him in my ice grenades to begin with.' Thinking this, Izuku wipes the sweat and blood from his face and puts his mask back on before he was off again continuing his patrol and wincing at his leg which probably had a good bruise on it as well. He still had a lot to learn.
