Chapter 8: The Terrible Trio
After a full hour at the arcade, the two leading villains marched back to Puppetress' hotel, ice cream and prizes in their hands; a few stuffies for Puppetress and a limited edition Villains card set for Tomura, with Destro on the cover of the pack. They had set new high scores at all the games, with Tomura specializing in fight games while Puppetress had dominated sharp-shooters, dancing and other more 'intellectual' ones.
"This has got to be one of the best day I've had in a while" Tomura admitted. "Sure, may not have done anything to show Heroes are worthless or destroy All Might, but this has been fun, Enwia."
Puppetress simply smiled as she tossed the remains of her cone into a garbage can.
"Glad to hear that, Tenko." She produced her key card and opened her door.
Although it would be hard to see, Chomp had a light smile on his face as he opened his mistress' door for them.
"First and real name basis already, milady?" He teased. "You're a lucky man, Shigaraki."
His brow then furrowed.
"Don't push your luck."
Tomura glared back and readied one of his hands to use his Quirk before he suddenly felt himself being pulled into the room, the door slamming the second he was in.
Blinking for a second, he realized that his new partner must have used her Quirk to spare him a fight with her second-in-command. A form of telekinesis, perhaps? That was an actually rare and powerful Quirkif trained enough...
He was then distracted by the room; he had seen nice places
Puppetress' room was the lap of luxury; spacious enough to fit three ''normal' hotel rooms, a curtained bed and colors that screamed expensive all over. A living room and fully stocked bar were the first things one would see when stepping in; a huge TV and (at the moment) decactivated Jacuzzi in the center of it all.
"Make yourself comfortable, Tenko." Puppetress called to her guest. "I'm just going to slip into something more comfy."
Hearing those words made teh leader of the League of Villains blush and have steam come from his ears, but he settled for sitting onto the couch, his prizes next to him as he channel surfed.
He stopped at a newscast that focused on the mall he had confronted Izuku at not too long ago.
"Breaking news update! It appears three new Villains have taken over...!"
"Well, well." Puppetress beamed. "Looks like my boys Are doing something worthwhile."
She was now dressed in a bathrobe with diamond studded slippers, a glass of water in her hand. Not wanting to look like a deer stuck in headlights or come across as a pervert, Tomura checked his phone
"Right about the same time Dabi and Compress are giving Overhaul his just desserts." He mused. "This could work nicely for us; the Pros will want to focus on a more populated and civilian heavey area than a highway."
"And even if someone does disturb yours, you did send two of your strongest." Puppetress pointed out, sitting right next to him. Under his father's face, the male villain began to blush, trying to watch the report while also enjoying the female before him.
"Please tell me they're not Stain-fanboys." Tomura begged. "Half of my crew is, still a pain in the ass to deal with."
Loyal they now were, he mused, and he appreciated that. Tomura just wished they shared HIS goal of crushing All Might.
"That loser?" Puppetress asked with a frown. "Please. My men are genuine villains, loyal to me to death..."
She paused.
"Admittedly, one is as dumb as shit, another cares more about money than anything else and the third...honestly, if he didn't produce good results I'd have given him to you as a decomposing dummy."
She the turned off the TV
"In the meantime, before we head back to the bar to meet your subordinates properly...why don't you ell me all about your plans?"
MHPP
The kids had been quick to move out of the blast radius, Eri keeping close to Izuku and Ochako.
"Everyone in one piece?" Dennis asked, helping Donna to her feet.
"Yeah, I think so..."
"GUYS!"
"RILEY!"
From the smoke, they could see Jiro, Kaminari, Brittany, Isabella, Henry, Sero and Rikido fighting their way towards them. Brittany was quick to check her sister for injuries as Sero began to pull people out of the debris as best as he could
"The heck happened?" Henry asked.
"Well, the explosion is obvious..." Kaminari started before spying soem blurs in the smoke. "...But somehow, I don't think its shoddy wiring or a show."
"Who are they?" Eri asked fearfully
From the explosions emerged three young men, carrying themselves with confidence and no cares in the world.
"Villains." Natalie growled, clenching her fists in unadulterated rage. In fact, all the Kirby students glared at the trio of trouble-makers.
"Though ones, too." Reggie pointed out.
"Around the same level as your League of Villains' Dabi." Nancy explained, a bead of sweat trickling down her cheek.
"And how do...?" Todoroki started, only for Izuku to cut him off.
"B-Bob-chan? Are THOSE the villains the chief was talking about?"
Bobby didn't correct Izuku this time, simply answering:
"One of them, yeah."
He then pointed to the one who started talking.
"Don't mind us, folks." The first and apparent leader of the trio, announced. "Just making a withdrawl and sampling. Just cooperate and we'll be gone in a few minutes."
He was was dressed like a mix of a rapper and rock-star; a muscle-shirt and backwards cap that somehow fit despite the mohawk atop his head. A black vest also adorned his form, along with ripped jeans. What appeared to be a ball of wind was bounced between his hands, growing bigger and bigger by the second.
"Stop right there!"
The trio turned to see a slew of Pro heroes, lead by Death Arms.
"Boys, you know what to do." He ordered his cohorts, who moved out of the way as he motioned the Pros to come and get him, his smirk never vanishing.
"TAKE HIM DOWN!" A pro shouted, otehr charging with him, not noticing the ball grow with each sound they made.
"NO, WAIT!" Natalie shouted, only to clamp her mouth...too late.
The smirking villain released the ball, creating another explosion of wind, debris and...
"SOUND?!" Jiro realized, only for her mouth to clamped by Natalie. The other Americans were quick to follow suit, nodding nervously.
Real Name: Nick Tesla. Villain Name: Feedback. Quirk; Sound Smack: He can absorb sound and fire it back with force from his own strength and stamina.
On paper, such a Quirk wasn't all that impressive. But with training and the right environment, along with a destructive behind it? It was borderline S-rank.
Beside Feedback was a mountain of mud with the slightest hints of a face; eyes, a bit of a nose and a mouth. He reminded Izuku of the Sludge Villain that had been causing trouble the day he met All Might. However, after the battles he'd had with Muscular and Overhaul's goons, the newest One for All user could tell that this newcomer was LEAGUES above the Sludge villian.
As if to prove Izuku correct, the mass shifted into an almost tidal wave of brown water and dirt, pushing the other heroes away and taking some civilians with it.
"Try and fight now, chumps." A snickering, thick and dumb sounding voice smirk.
Mudball. Real name unknown. His Quirk; Mud-Mold, allows him to become a mass of mud that can cover up to a mile. He can fire mud balls and shape-shift parts of his body, as well as suffocate his enemies. He cannot completely shape-shift.
The final villain wore purple body armour with a black skeleton on it and a gas mask on his face. He promptly removed the mask, and out of mouth came a purple glob that latched onto Death Arms. The hero tossed it aside and slammed his arms together before swinging a punch...
Which the Villain caught as he reattached his mask.
Death Arms' eyes widened as he suddenly began coughing violently and his muscles vanished.
"M-my Quirk!? W-what?"
"Aw, what's the matter, hero?" The last villain smirked. "Your Quirk stop working?"
The pro who had mentored Jiro was sent reeling back by a single kick.
"Consider yourself... Null and Void."
Void. Real name unknown. His Quirk; Null and Void; allows him to destroy Quirks and make their users sick.
From their hiding spots, the kids tensed and tried to think of what to do...and only one idea came to them.
"Get Eri to safety." Todoroki ordered, ice covering his side, just Izuku let One for All flow through him.
"And let you guys be taken down?" Donna responded. "Sorry, but we actually know how these guys fight; we're helping."
"I'll take care of Eri." Tooru volunteered, turning invisible and begining to take off her civilian clothes
"I'll stay and guard them." Ojiro followed.
"But you don't have your costumes..." Mina pointed out...only for the American students to smirk and left up their school watches.
"Aren't you curious as how we changed so quickly?" Riley asked with a smile
...
...
...
...
...
"No way..." Kaminari realized fro the others.
"Way."
The Americans tapped down on the face of their watches, from burst their costumes to cover their forms.
Nancy looked at Todoroki.
"Hit me."
The Half-Hot, Half-Cold hero blasted her with ice, creating her armor.
"Don't call attacks, be quick and avoid Void at all costs." Everyman ordered. "I'm the only one who can fight him."
"And Feedback is mine." Railgun Rapper announced, pulling out one of her disks, a look of anger on her face. She tossed the disk, which exploded into electcity that shocked Mudball, forcing him to release some hostages.
"D'ow!" He whined. "Something hurted me!"
Void reached to take off his mask, only for a whip to wrap around his neck and pull him down, almost breaking his back. He glared at Senorita Shade and struggled to use his free hand, only for...
"NOT SO FAST!"
A familiar shadow with a crow's head slammed down onto Void' sending him crashing into the ground.
"Stay down, villain." Tokoyami, suddenly appearing, demanded.
"Tokoyami?" Izuku called out. "Great to see you! But...?"
"I have a job at the theatre." He explained. "I heard a ruckus on my break and investigated."
"Gracias for the assistance." Senorita Shade said to the boy she had fought earlier, whose shadow glared at her.
"Dark Shadow, now's..." The crow-headed boy sighed at his Quirk
"Caliente!" Senorita Shade grinned. "We'll go again after this."
"Well, well." Feedback grinned. "If it ain't our old pals from Kirby. Hey, RR!"
Railgun Rapper stepped out of hiding place and glared at him with what seemed to be a mix of anger and sadness.
"...Big brother."
The UA students' eyes widened in shock before remembering the situation. Questions could be answered later.
Wordlessly, they all leapt forward; Everyman pulling out his bat and Cloudjumper her axe. They hit Void, sending him skidding
"Watch out, that's the Quirkless kid!" Feedback shouted to his comrade
Todoroki and Momo tried to trap Mudball, only to be shocked when he spilit into little balls and reformed in a single second.
"Ah ah ah!" Void smirked evilly, wagging a finger. "Unless you want the little cutie pie to get hurt."
Eri whimpered under his grip, making all pause long enough for Mudball to strech to his limit, grabbing all but Izuku, Everyman and Cloudjumper, who dodged his muck.
"We gots plans for youse." He smirked as he strecthed a little further to pin finally pin Cloudjumper to the roof, his face manifesting and rubbing against her face. "Oh, you're a cutie..."
"GET AWAY FROM MY SIS...!" Early-Bird started in rage, only for mud to clamp on her mouth and drag her down beside the other students.
Mudball then threw Cloudjumper's axe away and licked his soggy lips...before a kick made him retreat slightly. The young heroine found herself being pulled away by a young woman in an apparently devil themed costume.
"Call me Pop Step, sweetie." The woman smiled, wiping the mud off the girl before she found herself flung to the ground and Cloudjumper was pulled down close to the others
"We'll have fun later, cutie." The villain promised.
Bobby and Izuku's preservatives were shifting between concern for their friends and one question:
"How?"
Feedback pointed behind them.
"...Sorry..." A battered Tooru whimpered as she lost concoious in an equally Ojiro's arms. Spots of mud showed that they ahd done their best, but the villain overpowered them.
"Now. Drop your weapons and Quirks." Feedback demanded. "Unless, you want your pals to suffer?"
The students were now all stuck in Mudball, their mouths covered and their movements constricted. Mudball dragged Riley and Ochako forward, the two girls muttering for their boyfriends not too listen to the villans.
"These lovely ladies yours, right?" He smirked. "Took cutie's ax away and the others hands are too far apart to connect. Now Green hair? You do as Feedback demands, and we'll let her go first and just kill ya. Everyman? You know."
With no other choice clear to them, Izuku powered down and Bobby dropped his weapon.
"That's the problem with you heroes...You can never fight at full power." Void smirked under his mask. "Unless of course, you don't mind all those civilians getting hurt."
He glanced down at Eri.
"Then again, with a Quirk like this one's...even if you could it probably woudn't matter."
The two boys rose an eyebrow; how did the Trio know about Eri's Quirk?
"Now then, come with us, Bobby-boy." Feedback smirked. "You're about to make the three of us $2 billion richer."
With a sigh, Bobby did as he was told, before pausing.
"What?" Mudball asked in annoyance.
"Um...where is the kid?" Bobby asked with a smile.
That;s when all the students smirked in realization:
Eri had vanished from Void's clutches.
"Where did she go, you moron?!" Feedback roared.
"UP HERE, YOU MEANIES!"
All looked up to see her in the arms of #2 Japan hero Hawks, who flew in the air next to a hawk-man in pilot's attire.
"Dad/ Daddy!" Early-Bird and Cloud-Jumper called in delight at the sight of the #9 American hero under the mud gagging them.
Speaking of mud, Mudball suddenly gasped in pain, releasing his hostages and shrinking down a human size.
"Something burnt me!"
Boil-Breath's mouth had steam coming from it and Railgun Rapper had empited her collection, save for one disc. Shouto's entire form was aflame as Kaminari sparkled with electrcity
"IDIOT!" Feedback shouted. "I told you to knock them out right away!"
He had no time to continue, as Jet-Falcon and Hawks raced downwards, dropping off Eri with some of the civilians before racing towards the villains.
"PROS?!" The terrible Trio shouted in shock, narrowly dodging Hawks' feathers...before Mudball once again in pain from explosions and a hardened fist.
"YOU REALLY THIS PATHETIC, DEKU?"
Izuku and Bobby's eyes widened in shock:
"Kaachan?"
"Terrance?"
Their two rivals, in hero attire, had just dealt with the biggest problem among the trio.
"Looks like we're late for the party, huh?" Major Metal beamed as he took a breath, his piercings suddenly pinning Mudball to a wall.
"OW!"
Feedback, suddenly looking less confident, found himself in a bear hug by Rikido and his legs taped by Sero, just as Dark Shadow delivered a punch to his gut. He saw his sister race to a plug in, and cursed as electricity covered her form.
Jiro raced to her side and let out a sonic boom, the air propelling Railgun Rapper and Kaminari forward.
"Now...round three, big bro!"
He smirked and tried to activate hsi Quirk...nut only a tiny bubble came. He dodged just in time.
"TAKE THEM OUT!"
Void ripped off his mask and let globs fly like crazy.
"You know, in America we don't often call attacks." Jet-Falcon mused, effortlessly dodging Void and Mudball's attacks. "But today? I'll make an exception."
He flew as high as he could, spinning in a wheel before rushing downards...
"PEREGRINE...FIST!"
Void was sent flying by the Pro's punch, crashing into a support beam and knocking him out cold. Feedback was also hit, but managed to stop himself just Railgun Rapper and Kaminari shocked him again.
"I'll SMOOTHER YA!"
Jet-Falcon effortlessly dodged the villain's attacks, as if he knew they were coming before Mudball made them. Then a woman in a cat costume poked his eyes, making him step on some debris Ochako had just touched, and activated her Quirk.
"Nice work!" Mandalay smirked at the American hero.
"Thanks. You know, i usually don't like someone in my head...but I think I'll make an exception with you."
"Oh, i bet you say that to all the girls." She smirked.
"Could we focus?" Hawks asked, bored until he saw the latest humilation Mudball was facing.
"NOW WHAT?!" Mudball asked, finding himself floating
"Hey, Izuku!"
Izuku saw Henry, his feet and hands now tires, racing towards Mudball. He leapt onto the speedster and activated One for All.
"DETROIT SMASH!"
Izuku's fist made contact with the viillan's face, sending him to the ground with Void.
"Retreat!" Feedback ordered as he narrowly avoided Mina's acid and Todoroki's flames. "We're out numbered and out matched!"
Mudball growled, then smirked as he flung a glob of hardened mud at the support beam Void had hit...which held up an entire floor over some civilians.
"NO!" The heroes shouted, rushing as fast as they could before pausing; Mudball's puddles holding them back.
"Later, heroes!" Feedback hollered as he and his goons disappeared.
The civilians were quick to move as the floor above fell towards them, but some, injured ny Feedback's attacks, struggled. Among them was a little girl with her younger brother
It never came; the little girl looked up to Everyman was holding up the roof with all of his fading strength, memories of someone he loved doing the same for him giving him all the motivation he needed to ignore the pain and strain.
"G-Go!" He commanded, and she was quick to obey him. Izuku, Rikido, Coat, Early-Bird and Major Metal rushed to help him. Hawks, Jet-Falcon and Madalay were quick to grab the civilians away and Todoroki froze the area as best he could.
"Go, go, go!"
The area then collapsed...with someone still inside.
"BOBBY!"
"BOB-CHAN!"
Another blur suddenly came bursting onto the scene, rushing into the falling building and emerging with Every-man in his arms.
The newcomer was dressed in an All Might hoodie that ahd seen better day, but he was more concerned about the boy he has just saved.
"BOB-CHAN!" Izuku shouted in worry, rushing to his counterpart's side, as did Boil Breath and the other Kirby students. "Say something! Anything!"
"Stop...calling me...'chan'.." Everyman smiled weakly.
Izuku let out a breath.
"He's fine." Momo mused weakly, shootig her classmate a lok. "In a seriousness Izuku? Bobby's not a fan of honour-fics."
"MORON!" Cloudjumper cried angrily as she slammed her fists onto Bobby, the first having significant force and the other less. "Stupid...idiotic...!"
"I'm sorry." Everyman sadi weakly.
Cloudjumper simply hugged her boyfriend, her tearful eyes shifting to his savior.
"Thank you..."
"Call me Crawler:" The man smiled before he and Pop-Step vanished as the police finally showed up on the scene. "Take care of him, miss. Be a shame if a hero like him didn't make it to Pro-hood."
MHPP
The sickened Pros were carted off to hospital along with the few injured civilians. Teh kids were hedl back, and hounded for answers by a police officer who seemed determined to catch their mysterious saviours.
"Hey, they helped out!" Riley was quick to add. "One of them almost got me out!"
"They're vigilantes." The cop snapped. "And you foreginers shoudldnt have..!
"Leave them alone."
Endeavour had said that as he made his way over to the scene, silencing the officer.
"They saved civilians. That's all that matters." He explained. "Mandalay explained the situation to me."
The heroine in question appeared, a little boy that UA students were familar with by her side.
"IZUKU!" Kouta raced towards his hero, hugging him with tears in his eyes.
"H-hey! Kouta!" Izuku smiled, patting his first #1 fan on the head.
"I was so scared...!"
"Sorry..." He mumbled, not used to this. The other students smiled at the scene, happy for their friend.
"Hey, have some faith in your hero, won't ya kid?" Terrance smirked.
Kouta tensed at the boy's appearance.
"...It's the piercings, ain't it?"
"Shouto?"
The boy looked to his father.
"I..." He struggled. "I...I promise to become a hero you can become proud of."
Shouto said nothing, but the faintest hints of a smile appeared. Sadly, the same could not be said for Jet-Falcon, who cleared his throat to make his presence known.
"Enji." The American pro glared at Endeavour, hate clear under his mask.
"..Perry. You look well. Fatherhood's treating you well."
"Can't say the same for you."
The atmosphere was so thick it could be cut with a knife.
"Second time today, huh Izuku?"
All glared at Bobby, including his former pen-pal.
"...No? No jokes? Okay. Just trying to lighten the..."
"Bobby." Boil-Breath said.
"...I'll shut up now."
"Good call." Railgun Rapper noted.
Jet-Falcon glared at Endeavour for a few more minutes before lthe flame hero said:
"Officer? Once this is over...I need to make a confession."
The officer, shocked at this, nodded and left to handle take care of the mess.
Letting out a sigh, Jet-Falcon opened his wings and gave his daughters a kiss on the forehead.
"...I'll see you all at the hotel, kids." He announced. "I'm glad to see you all safe and sound, Now, if you'll ecuse me...I have business."
He then flew away, pausing slightly to take out his notepad and jotting down something: Mandalay's phone number...which he promptly called.
"Tomorrow work?"
"Sure, around 8?" Mandalay asked. "Stan Lee's?"
"See you then."
"Auntie, come on!" Kouta sighed, embrassed by her.
"What?" The heroine asked. "He's a Pro, single and a resucer like me. Besides, you could always use some big sisters!"
Cloudjumper and Early-Bird smiled at Kouta, who bushed and hid behind Izuku...only to see Eri there.
"...Hi." Eri waved.
"..Hi." Kouta waved back.
Mina started squealling:
"Aww, puppy love!"
"Dibs on making their dresses and suits!" Donna beamed.
"Mina! Donna! they just met!" Ochako and Izuku called out.
The kids all burst into laughter.
"Say, are you kids hungry?" Mandalay asked. "Kouta and I were just about to grab some dinner, we'd be honoured if you joined us."
"Well, we were thinking of going to the check out this 'Robot Restaurant...'" Henry pointed out.
"Ah, that can wait!" Terrance said.
Bobby stood up, with some help from Riley.
"Miss? We'd be honoured if you'd let us join you and our friends."
Kouta finally took a good look at the American students.
"Who are you, anyways?"
Bobby smiled proudly.
"Everyman at your service, young fellow. Quirkless and proud of it."
MHPP
Crawler and Pop Step observed the scene from a nearby rooftop.
"Well, that's a first." Crawler mused. "Endeavour giving someone else praise."
"And letting us off, too. Still, we better go before the cops find us." Pop Step mused. "Just because Endeavour said so doesn't mean we can waltz around."
"That and you need to put some ice on that shoulder before that dinner mom invited us to, right?" Crawler pointed out in concern, producing an ice pack. "You really could've waited for me, ya know."
Pop Step grumbled.
"...Remind me why I fell for you again, Koichi?"
"I'm a dedicated hero, saved you from drowning, helped you and Knuckleduster-sensei bring down the Villain Factory? And I'm your best critic and biggest fan?"
She sighed, knowing he was right. Regardless, she made her way to leave, only to see that 'Koichi' was still in deep thought.
"What's up?"
"That kid I saved. He was Quirkless. Like sensei."
Realizing where this was going, the woman gently pulled him away with a smile.
"We'll try and track him down later. Right now, dinner with your mom is more important than finding someone to give sensei's knuckle-dusters to."
"Yes, dear."
MHPP
"Miss Todoroki? You have a visitor." A nurse announced.
"Shouto?" The ice-quirk using woman asked in confusion; her son must still be in class at this time unless something was wrong.
"No...a fellow with a Falcon head who claims to be an old friend of..."
Rei had stopped listening at 'falcon.'
"Send him in, please."
The nurse did as she was asked, and in stepped a falcon-headed man in a business suit, a bouquet of her favourite flowers in one hand and a bottle of her favourite Sake in another.
"Perry?" She asked, praying this was really.
"Hey there, Rei." Perry smiled weakly. "Been a couple of years, huh?"
The ice using woman smiled back, tears in her eyes as she opened up her arms.
The two hugged once Perry had placed the flowers down, tears stinging his own eyes.
"I am so sorry." He whimpered. "I..I should've..."
"Stop." Rei cut him off. "You're a parent too, your kids take priority."
"Still, it took me too long..."
Rei pulled away from the hug an cupped Perry's face in her palms.
"Perry Grin You are my best friend and a great hero. But you're also only human and a parent. You can't always help everyone."
Perry was quiet.
"Now, where's that Grin taht always cheered me up?"
With a chuckle Perry made a few funny faces, getting his old friend to laugh as she opened the bottle and poured them each a saucer.
"So...tell me all about these girls you adopted." Rei demanded. "And leave nothing out."
Perry chuckled.
MHPP
Dabi and Compress were proud of themsleves; Overhaul was no long a concern and no hero had gvien them trouble.
But this mood was changed when they returned to see their boss and the woman from earlier that morning back at the bar, with Twice, Spinner and a newly returned Muscular on the floor.
Apparently, they ahd flirted with the American woman, who had proved her next statement:
"Not just a pretty face." Puppetress told them. "My Quirk is pretty powerful, but us Americans never outlawed Anti-Quirk materials, so I trained myself into the ground."
"Young Miss has won three international tournaments for six years running; chess, boxing and fashion." Chomp added, pulling out several magazines that held his mistress on the cover.
"As grandpa says, it pays to have an alter-ego."
And thus, a certain part of Shigaraki's body became...more obvious.
Just then, three battered americans came inside the bar.
"You're late." Crunch pointed out. "And look terrible."
"We tried to grab Overhaul's brat." Void explained. "Ran into some Pros."
"Yes, we saw on the TV." Compress noted. "Quite the show. A little too flashy, but hey, what does a former street performer know?"
Puppetress ended the talk.
"Everyone; meet my top 3 underlings; Feedback, Void and Mudball. You already know me as Puppetress. I hope we get along well. But first, before we get started? Here are your company IDs, good for 40% off Health Insurance and meals in the cafeterias." Puppetress added, handing each Villain a card.
"Awesome! I hate this!" Twice cheered and booed.
"Why don't we have something like this?" Spinner asked.
"Cause you guys haven't earned it." Tomura said bluntly. "Plus, our accounts a little dry."
A burst of laugh filled the air; it came from Void.
"Seriously? THIS? This is the GREAT Japan villain? What a joke!"
"Void..." Feedback growled at his partner, who ignored him and marched right up to the multi-hand wearing villain.
"You are NOTHING, Tenko Shimura! You're just a poster boy for All for One!"
Shigaraki frowned, leaping to his feet and grasping the Villains' suit.
"Don't….ever…call…me…THAT NAME!" The head of the Leagye demanded, his Quirk decomposing Voi'd shoulder armor
"Oh, and what are...?"
Void stopped suddenly and had trouble breathing
"Ah, my dear Void…" The American femme fatale sighed, her hand outstretched and risen. "I figured there'd be some trouble, but of this magnitude?"
"M-M-Milady….why?"
She smiled, raising her middle finger with a bored look on her face as Void was forced to float in the air.
"My dearest Crunch informed me of your rather….less than stellar attitude towards our Japanese counterparts. So last week, while you slept, I had Feedback inject some cobra venom into your spine. With a single thought, I let some out."
Void glared at his comrade.
"Hey, yen is good." Feedback told his college as his boss sauntered her way over to floating man. "Sides, it was either that, or Mudball snuffing you in your sleep. Best deal I could get."
Void would've cursed, but the pain became unbearable for him.
"Shigaraki is learning." She reminded the downed and now crying Villain. "As am I. Now, I'm going to stop the venom, and you shall apologize."
Void fell to his knees, gasping for air.
"I-I'm sorry, Shigaraki-sama. P-please forgive me!"
Tomura smirked under his father's face, sitting back down.
"Now that that's settled," Puppetress smiled. "Crunch told me you were investigating rumours of some American heroes being in the area. What did you find?"
"Commander Comet and Jet-Falcon along with the Kirby first years." Mudball answered.
The air went cold, and Puppetress' smile vanished.
"Was….Everyman there?"
The three male Americans cowered and nodded.
Puppetress took several deep breaths before stretching her arms outward, the lighting and wallpaper falling towards her before crashing perfectly around her in a circle. She then, with an unyielding glare, rose her arms again, the material following and suddenly flying out a window.
She then recomposed herself with a soothing breath and flattening out her dress before turning to her subordinates.
"I'm going to go look for some punks to try and attack me, then pummel them black and blue so that I do not kill my top four men in a fit of rage." She growled. "When I get back, I shall be departing and staying with Shigaraki until phase two of the plan comes to fruition. By that time, I want you four to have come up with a way to get rid of that nuisance once and for all. Succeed, and not only will I personally get you EACH the full reward for his head in cold, hard cash, but a country of your own when phase four rolls around."
Her minions' eyes gleamed with anticipation, and the bowed as they readied to leave
"But fail...!" Puppetress added, making them pause midstride. "And you spend the rest of your miserable lives in prison with a guy named Molly visiting you every time you fall asleep or take a shower. Understood?"
They nodded in fear and understanding before dashing out the door.
"DON'T COME BACK WITHOUT BOBBY WALKER!"
MHPP
Puppetress didn't have to go far. No sooner did she walk down the street did she find, or rather, allow herself to be pulled into an alley.
"Well, well..." A man with a long tongue grinned impishly as one of his friends held her in a neck vice and another turned his fingers into knives, which he dragged along her dress. "What a pretty one, wouldn't you say fellas?"
Puppetress simply smirked.
"Four for four." She mused. "Perfect."
Her attackers obviously misinterpreted this, dragging her deeper into the alley to do whatever they had planned to do.
"Kinky, eh?" The one holding her asked as more arms sprouted and held her closer, the final member producing a barrier around them.
'Huh. One that actually does think.' The Villainess mused. 'Shame, could've used a Quirk like this.'
"We'll be sure to leave you able to talk." The leader said as he took out a rag. "After we're done at least. Any last words before we get started?"
"Yeah. You should've pinned my arms to my sides.." She smiled, stretching her fingers.
With that, the trio found themselves unable to move, minus the one holding her letting her go. With a confident smirk, she walked out of the alley just enough to get a good look at them. She then moved her left third and pinky fingers to make the leader blind the member with multiple arms.
"Now, what to do? With you?" She asked. "Back home in America, I could sue you lot, but somehow? I don't think you'd get the message...Looks like I need to use the permanent solution."
Still unable to speak, the four began uttering muffled pleas.
"Oh please, just killing you would be child's play." Puppetress smirked as she brought teh knife handed one forward. "Why don't you...jack yourself off to death?"
The man, his eyes widening, felt his arm move downwards...
"Oh wait." Puppetress smirked. "Let's turn taht Quirk of yours on."
The man began screaming in pain and fear as she then turned to the others, her evil smirk causing them to shirk back.
"You two stab each other..."
She made her middle fingers touch, and the leader and barrier-maker to grab their weapons, stabbing each other in the neck. She then turned to the last one.
"And as for you..."
She heard a truck coming and smiled evilly, a knowing look in her eye and her victim as, even blindfolded, he realized what was happening
"Please, no!" The man begged, tears in his eyes.
All he got was a single word.
"Walk."
He did: His jaws clamped together, refusing to move, he walked right into the street, being run over by a truck.
Aside from a single scream, no one did anything as Puppetress released her power, took a deep breath and shouted:
"HELLO? I JUST KILLED FOUR RAPISTS! I DID IT ON PURPOSE!"
No one came.
"EXCUSE ME?!" She called out again. "MURDERED FOUR MEN AND WANT TO CONFESS!"
Still no one came or commented.
"Typical."
Tomura grinned under his father's hand. While he was unfortunately reminded of his life before Sensei found him, the display of power and sadism Puppetress just unleashed confirmed his thoughts that his partnership was a good idea.
"I think I'm in love."
The object of his affection turned, having heard his words.
"Don't tell me you were worried, Tomura-sama." Puppetress smiled. "After my demonstration at the bar?"
Tomura cringed
"N-No! Not worried at all! Just...interested and wanting to make sure none of my goons did something to damper our professional partnership."
Puppetress smiled even more, making her way over to her host, her hips swaying with each step
"I assure you, a little anger and a foolish minion or two will not be anywhere near enough for me to terminate any relationship between us. I just hope that display didn't..."
"Are you nuts?" He asked, genuine shock in his tone. "That was hot!"
"How about we get out of here?" She cooed, running a finger under his chin as her other hand felt his chest. "I still have my room at the hotel.."
Shuddering under her touch and not trusting his voice, Tomura nodded in agreement before offering his arm for her.
"Oh, we're far past that."
She then pecked his cheek before accepting his arm and hailing a cab.
Read and Review, would ye kindly?
And yep, i brought the vigilantees form My Hero Illegal into this story and Tomura now has a girlfriend just as evil as he is.
Also, credit and thanks to Autustic Grizzly for allowing me to use some of his OC characters.
So, the rating was upped for the bathhouse scene and Puppetress using her Quirk on the punks..was it a good call or would it have been fine with a T rating?
Next chapter will be the final Day Out chapter, and possibly even have an All Might x Midnight moment.
