"I believe I should definitely leave this area now to avoid being detected.." He snatched up his black hoodie, braced himself, and began racing down the alleyway. He ran into an elderly woman, but that didn't stop him from running for his life.

'Keep on running. Run to save your life. Run, and don't turn around..' When he voluntarily obeyed without hesitation in his heart, his intellect was telling him what to do in the given circumstance. 

After exiting the alleyway, he hurriedly pulled up a cab and gave the driver his home location. When they arrived at his neighbourhood and instructed the driver to stop, he grabbed into his pockets, handed the driver the cash, and sped off to his house, leaving his change behind.

He got to the entrance of his house as he took a calm breath to not get his mom's attention. He made his way into the house and gazed around but didn't see his mother anywhere. 'Maybe she's at work or in her bedroom.' "Whatever." He ran upstairs to his bedroom and locked the door so no one could come in. 

At home, Yuta shed his vigilante persona and retreated to the sanctuary of his bedroom. The faint moonlight filtered through his window, casting shadows that seemed to mimic the chaos of the streets he had just left behind. 

He replayed the night's events in his mind, savoring the thrill of success. A faint laugh escaped his lips as he leaned back on his bed, arms behind his head, basking in the satisfaction of making a difference. For tonight, the city was safer, and he allowed himself a rare moment of celebration.

He went to the bathroom to freshen up for a few minutes in order to clear his head, and then he returned with his boxers.

 "I'm home so I'm safe now." He let out a sigh in relief. 'Don't forget the fact you just took down a criminal.' His mind made him remember his action he displayed a while ago. 'You appear unconcerned despite the fact that you may have killed a criminal.' "Well, I don't feel a thing towards the robber since he was a criminal and I can't just kill him for such a reason." Yuta whispered.

'I can feel your rage but that is just the beginning of your nightmare. You have just made the first step in becoming your own hero, so don't ever deceive and doubt yourself anymore, Yuta.' His mind told him the truth he didn't want to believe. He laid on his bed, staring at the beautiful stars as he fell asleep with his boxers.

At the age of 17, Yuta apprehended his first criminal to establish his worth as the underground emblem of peace.….

When Candyman realised something was amiss, the heroes had finished celebrating their victory. As he gazed at the villains he had captured, he started to worry that something wasn't right as his emotions began to question him.

"Hey, how many comrades do you have?" Candyman walked over to one of the criminals captured in his candy.

"Huh?" The robber burst into laughter from the question the hero asked.

"I won't repeat myself anymore. How many comrades have you got?" He asked for the last time.

"I-It's…..go to hell bastard." The criminals couldn't hold their laughter anymore as the bank was filled with laughter which got the other hero's attention.

"Alright." He asked the robber a question, and he began to control the candy on their body as it covered their entire face.

"Hey, what do you think you're doing candyman?" Another hero exclaimed when he saw what Candyman was about to do.

"Relax, I won't kill him." He removed the candy from the face of the robber as the criminal started coughing, trying to regain his breath.

"5…" The robber exclaimed their numbers as Candyman's eyes widened when his heart doubted him something was wrong. 'Wait, if their numbers are 5 and we captured only 4 ....then that means one of them has escaped?' He realized.

"Hey, one got loose and he's out for his escape." Candyman yelled to the other heroes who were now serious.

"What did you say?" One of the heroes couldn't believe his eyes.

"Candyman, you stay here and watch over the captured criminals while me and Silver will go check around if we could see any traces." They exited the bank and went to scout the neighborhood for the last robber but unfortunately, he was apprehended by a 17 year old boy.

They started running on the rooftops at full speed while using their eyes to scout any little traces of the robber. They kept searching and searching until they finally stopped when Silver noticed his nose picked a faint smell.

"Do you smell that?" Silver asked.

"Yeah, or maybe it's just garbage junk." The other hero concluded.

"Let's give it a look." They jumped down from the rooftop to the ground as they started walking slowly while observing their surroundings for any surprise attack. Both of them got to the point where the robber was as they put up their guard. Silver was walking along the alleyway when he saw something on the floor.

"Come over here I found something." Silver declared when Crust rushed over. 

"Is that a body?" Crust quickly noticed as dashed towards the corpse.

"Hey, are you alrigh-" Before he could finish his statement he saw the robber was bleeding profusely and unconscious.

"Isn't that the robber who escaped?" When Silver spotted the motionless robber wearing the same costume as the other four robbers, he took notice.

"Contact the police now! What the fuck is taking the police so long?" Crust exclaimed to Silver who quickly did as he was told. 

*PHONE BEEPS*

"This is the police department. State your business." A policeman spoke at the other end of the phone with a tired tone.

"It's Silver here. Four villains have been caught at the bank, while the one who escaped was discovered lying still in the alleyway near the ban, suffering from severe injuries." Silver explained.

"WHAT? Give me your location right now." The officer demanded from the other end.

"Okay." Silver sent his current address to the police officer immediately.

"Who would've thought something like this could've happened." Crust stated.

"Or do you think another villain did this to him?" Silver asked.

"I think so." Crush thought of the situation as he noticed it was a bullet wound when he saw a hole on both shoulders of the robber. 'Was a villain with a gun quirk responsible for his tragedy? We should have heard the sound when we were at the bank interacting with the other robbers if he had been shot with a gun.' He simply placed the body on the ground and waited for the police to arrive to look into the crime, therefore he was unable to solve the problem.

…THE BANK

Few minutes later, the police arrived at the bank scene. They got into the bank seeing the civilians had been evacuated successfully leaving only Candyman and the 4 criminals were caught in solidified candy.

"Nice work, Candyman." An officer complimented him as he walked over to the criminals. Candyman deactivated his quirk as the candy dispersed while the police officer handcuffed each of the bank criminals and led them to the van outside.

"That's all….we've got a bigger problem so let's move." Hinata, the police officer in charge muttered while Candyman started running on the rooftop towards where Crust and Silver were.

They started running for a few minutes when Candyman finally they got to the scene where Crust and Silva were located.

"That's it…that's the place." Hinata, the police chief notified the other officers as they reached their destination.

….

"Finally, you've arrived." Crust felt relief.

"Sorry I took so long, so what's up?" Hinata stated when he looked at the motionless body on the floor besides Crust.

"This individual was one of the robber's accomplices who managed to get away before we noticed. When Candyman eventually asked the robbers how many comrades they had, he became intrigued about the entire issue, which is why we were able to locate him early."

"Okay. Let's apply first aid first." Hinata said while the other officers brought out the first aid box and applied to the wounds to stop the flow of blood loss.
