Suddenly Reaper's body exploded in a black smog that quickly filled the entire room. It seemed as if the abyss had been unleashed and was swallowing everything in its path.

Shadow quickly became engulfed in the Smog, interrupting what she was doing with her Quirk moments ago. "What the fuck-"

Suddenly a large hand clamped over her mouth and nose forcefully cutting off her breath. Shadow panicked as she tried to break free until a growling voice spoke in her right ear.

"Don't breathe" Reaper growled squeezing Shadow's mouth even tighter and pulling her away from thick smog. "It's a high density hallucinogenic gas that causes great pain to the user, and no, it's not poisonous but very painful."

Shadow stopped struggling as she let Reaper drag her out of the gas to a T-intersection. She saw first hand the unpleasant appearance of the black gas that surrounded the room, she didn't know much about chemistry but she knew that a gas shouldn't look so thickly black.

"It's one of Moira's inventions, I carry it in case I need to escape a troublesome situation...like this one" Reaper explained as he removed his hand from Shadow's nose and mouth.

"I swear every time Moira scares me more and more..." Shadow muttered letting out a deep tired sigh. 

Reaper simply reached into his tunic -which clearly had seen better days- and pulled out a gas mask for Shadow, the latter simply took the mask carefully and put it on without much trouble.

Both Talon agents simply watched the gas in silence as they waited for it to disperse enough to see something.

"...Why didn't you kill them?" Asked Shadow breaking the silence, her voice tinged with disdain. "I've seen you in I-Island taking out those guards without mercy, you almost looked like you really were death itself! Then why-"

"Moira's orders" Reaper replied interrupting Shadow's tantrum. "Apparently that girl... Lena Oxton, is more valuable than you could ever imagine and Moira needs Oxton's blood for her experiments."

"That doesn't tell me much..." Shadow muttered. "But seeing... this... I'm glad I'm not the one to get Moira's attention."

They both fell silent again before Reaper spoke again. "His other partner has a Quirk similar to mine which makes him very hard to damage...I tried to kill him by playing on his Hero morale but Oxton stopped the attack before it hit"

"A spoonful of your own medicine huh?" Shadow snorted with a grin before looking at Reaper curiously. "And by all this... where exactly are we? I know this isn't a hospital or there would be dozens of Heroes around here by now."

"Long story-"

Suddenly a large burst of green fire shot straight at Shadow from the hallway to her left. Acting quickly Reaper wrapped his body around Shadow receiving the attack directly burning his entire tunic and severely burning his back.

Reaper gritted his teeth hard as he let out a grunt of pain.

"Reaper!!!"

"The cavalry is in tha house baby!" Burnin exclaimed as she watched his attack hit Reaper full on before shouting instructions. "Impulse! Aegis! Go to the front and try to immobilize Reaper! Tat! Absorb that strange gas! I don't want anyone to die today, got it?!"

"Yes Ma'am!" Exclaimed the 3 Heroes as they quickly went on the attack.

Burnin stopped attacking Reaper causing the latter to collapse on Shadow having small spasms brought on by pain.

"Shadow... get us out of here!" Snarled Reaper angrily as he barely managed to stand on his legs. "Now!"

Shadow watched out of the corner of her eye as two shadows quickly approached her position from both flanks. "Shit! All right! But I need a few seconds!"

Both Heroes were dressed in what appeared to be a green and blue Power Ranger suit with white decorations. Green was tall and clearly muscular while Blue had a lanky and lean body, he also carried a staff on his back.

Reaper nodded as he transformed his hands into mist for a moment before returning them to normal, this time holding a shotgun in his right hand.

"WELL LITTLE BASTARDS LET'S DANCE!" Reaper roared as he took aim at the two Heroes, the clothes on top were shredded exposing his muscular body covered in large scars and cuts.

Reaper partially turned into Mist as he quickly advanced towards the two Heroes firing bullets from afar. The Green Hero raised his hand in front of him forming what appeared to be a blue barrier while the Blue Hero simply snapped his fingers and the bullets lost all their power and fell harmlessly to the ground.

As Reaper confronted the duo of Heroes, Shadow ran off in the opposite direction as she summoned his screen and began entering large lines of code rapidly.

The Hero in Green, Aegis, arrived right in front of Reaper and quickly threw a kick to his shoulder, but Reaper turned into mist nullifying the blow and appearing right next to Hero giving him a strong hook to the jaw that knocked him backwards.

Aegis quickly recovered from the blow and turned his attention to Reaper who was aiming his shotgun at him. Instinctively he summoned his barrier, barely protecting himself from the attack.

"I won't let you off that easy!" Exclaimed Aegis as he took a big step forward and reached for Reaper.

Reaper, contrary to Aegis' belief, approached the Hero putting aside his shotgun and they engaged in intense hand-to-hand combat.

Meanwhile, Tat a Hero dressed as a hawk, arrived at Smog's area successfully sneaking out of the fight and arriving right next to smog.

"My God..." Tat muttered in disgust as he looked at the thick black smog, thanks to Kojo's Mental Passage he could sense that Tracer and Lemillion were inside this thing. "I'm going to get them out of there!"

Taking a deep breath he began to blow hard causing a large wind to come out of his mouth slowly dissipating the smog.

'It's really thick... what the fuck is this gas?!'
