Chapter 1
[Dont mention me.]
(Why not? Scared they might take you away?)
[Yes. And in order to do that, they will kill you.]
(…)
[Didn't think of that little brat. This doctor used me to gain quirks and create artificial versions of them, now im running away, he already managed to automate the entire process already so im not needed, but he couldn't kill me due to all the stuff he put into me.
Right now, you are just a lab rat Touya…no, you prefer Dabi right?]
(…From where do you know that name?) The entity felt the rage of his host.
[I know everything about you. I also know how you are aware that you are just a permanent clone of the real Dabi.]
(…I wouldn't have healthy skin otherwise would i? And this muscular body. Im not one to run around like a idiot and train my ass off.)
[Well, that's a problem because you are going to run away from here anyway. In this doctors eyes you are less worth than his equipment, you wont turn into goo, so you can be happy about that, he pushed self-healing into your body alongside four other powers. Oh, and, you changed so much that you aren't part of the clones anymore, if you die, your body will keep existing…how that works is a mystery even for me.]
(So I can use my flames as much as I want?)
[Not exactly. The reason you kept your sanity and didn't turn into a mindless noumu like the other people is because I did something to the quirks you got.
You see, unless you have a extraordinary capacity, you will lose your self once you have more than one quirk in your system.
So I did what I had to and forcibly fused all powers he pushed into you together, creating a quirk with six different abilities, having flames as the major thing that combines them.]
(That doesn't answer my question, can I use my flames as much as I want?)
[Only with training. You have, as I said, six different kind of effects on your flames now. I analyzed your quirk center, you still kept your blue flames, the others turned into flames as well, changing a bit but mostly keeping their original function, so six including self-healing.]
(Isnt it strange the doc put that many into a clones body?)
[Don't expect to be special. You are literally named Number 53. Your line of creation consists solely out of different people being cloned and experimented on in order to give the original upgrades.]
(…So what now?)
[Well, first of all, your healthy skin was never meant to be, you are supposed to be a experiment and fail. The second he finds out you survived, you will be killed or forced into submission. And by the way, I can take control over your body but im not used to having hands of feet, so you will be moving around.]
(Ok, than lets escape. Tell me what powers I have. Blue Flames that burn and heal?)
[They are colored differently, each with their own effect.
Your usual blue flames exist, they burn just as well as they used to.
Anyway, the one that came from self-healing turned into white flames. It will appear whenever you are injured…maybe you can summon it at will and overuse your blue flames, it would cause insane amounts of pain but you could theoretically use your blue flames like that without a timelimit.
Than you got a teleportation power of a villain, its called Warp Gate, it turned into black flames. Pretty straight-forward what it can do, the details we have to learn with experimentation.]
(Oh, that is nice.)
[Your flame is yellow, it came from a hero candidate, it's called Brainwashing, it allows you to control whoever you hit with your yellow flames.
Than comes another power taken by a hero, Overclock, it became green flame in your body, everything you want gets accelerated immensely while you use it, how much I don't know though.
This one is from a hero, its called Ectoplasm, in you it became red flames. It became quite a interesting power. The red flames can be shaped into clones of yours, guess we have to find out into what else you can turn them into.]
(Ok than, lets teleport away.)
[Do you even know how to use it?]
(No, but it's the best option I have.)
And so, despite being in a tube full of liquid, Dabi summoned his black flames. It was a surreal experience, he felt heat rising from inside his body, all around him, while he heard alarms going of, he imagined a empty warehouse where he used to stay before joining the villain alliance.
The next thing he knew, he found himself standing in that place, but with several deadly injuries. He fell down due to the missing left leg of his, his torso was missing critical parts, his entire body missed parts.
As he fell to the ground, the black flames vanished.
(How come I don't feel any pain?)
[I blocked it. Wouldn't help us much if you got yourself found out the moment we managed to escape.]
FSSH!
Suddenly white flames appeared all over Dabis body, it was a different kind of heat that he felt. Instead of a heat he had to seek after like with the black flames, this one was heat that enveloped his body, like a hug that he received a long time ago.
"Ugh, fuck…" he barely managed to stand up.
[Luckily, this place is still empty. How far did we travel?]
(How should I know? Im not the one who analyzed quirk centers. How far can I travel anyway?)
[No idea, I can look into your powers functions, not the efficiency of it. That also depends on the persons ability to use it.]
(So what do you plan to do? Im naked…and I just realized that I have no hair on my head.)
[Strange priorities.
The plan right now, is to kill that doctor.]
(That sounds like something im good at. Who is he?)
[No idea.]
"Don't fuck with me." Dabi accidentally started to talk with his mouth.
[Do you know who the guy is? He experimented on you too right? In the first place, I know im more than 80 years old but I have no memories of my real self. All I remember is that I joined him willingly at some point, and than nothing but pain and regret.
After killing him, my next goal is to find out who I am.]
(Why would you want to know who you are? Sounds like a blessing to forget everything and just start again.)
[Only someone who has the gift of remembering can say that. If you have nothing, all that is left in life are memories. If you don't have them, you are alone.
I don't care how bad my past was, I want to know who I am!]
(Ok ok…we are walking around for quite some time, seems like this place is just as rotten as I remember…if not more so.
This healthy skin is irritating. I can feel the cold air and I constantly hurt my feet from the crap that is on the ground.)
[Well that is the price to pay for freedom.]
"Oh shut…" suddenly he heard voices of people.
(Lets kill them and take their clothes and money.)
[That could get us into trouble. I have a better idea. Use your yellow flames to take control of them and let them give you their clothes and money.]
(…) At first he wanted to argue but he knew that he wasn't really able to do much right now, afterall he didn't doubt that the being inside him could take control of his body..he stopped him from feeling pain afterall, a lot more was certainly possible.
So he looked at his right hand once he spotted the thug who was selling drugs to another person.
"And this are really quirk enhancers?" the other person asked, Dabi and Spock -as he wanted to be called- realized, it was a middle school kid who was the buyer.
"Of course, one of this pills and you get 30 minutes of insane boosting."
The yellow flame had different kind of feeling, the heat was a lot more flimsy, like something that could go away if he wasn't giving his entire concentration on it.
[We should wait until the deal is over.]
(No.)
Dabi didn't really think much, he used the yellow flames and shot it at the two.
[Couldn't le the kid buy drugs huh..]
"Fuck off."
"Now, both of you, face the wall." He commanded and the two listened without any resistance. One thing was sure though, without hitting them more, the flames would vanish in a couple of minutes.
He told the thug who was around his size to take out his clothes. This time he resisted a lot more though.
And so he focused on his hands again, focusing on the thug he blasted him with his yellow flames as if he was going to burn him to ash.
"Give me your clothes!" This time the thug obeyed, in the clothes had been the money as well that he took from the kid and others.
He also found several packages of drugs.
"Seems like this stuff is becoming more mainstream…how well would this help me?"
[It wouldn't. Your body is already on the brink of what it can handle, I should know, I saved you from it. This drugs would basically just cause your white flames to heal you from their effects…which would basically just be your entire body exploding.]
"…"
He looked at the kid who was still facing the wall, the flames slowly went away.
"Kid" the body responded "fuck off, and never come back to this places."
The kid ran away as fast as he could.
"As for you.." Dabi looked at the thug.
He looked at his hand again, still irked out about the fact that he had healthy skin.
"Burn." The blue flames appeared, their heat was just like he remembered, it begins good but turns painful really fast, hurting the body part he used them with. But it was a powerful ability, easily capable of blasting the thug against the wall and destroying it a moment later, from the thug only a unrecognizable burned corpse was left behind.
[You could have used him to find out how well your brainwashing powers go.]
"Good point."
He straightened his clothes and moved on.
(What now?)
[Mmhh, we need a way to look into the underworld of this country.]
(We cant enter it the normal way though, the real Dabi and the doctor surely look for anyone looking like him, if we go there on our own, than this will be our downfall.)
[Oh, didn't think you could be to strategic. Indeed, we cant go there on our own, so we will do the opposite and make use of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend".]
A smirk appeared on Dabis face.
(You seriously want to lead the Heroes into fighting the Villains for us?)
[Not only lead, but be part of it.]
The smile vanished from his face.
BOOM!
A dragon-like noumu appeared from the sky, dropping down on the street, around that town only low-lives existed, so there was nobody on the street, the problem was though, the Noumu looked straight at Dabi.
[Ok…now this]
"sucks!"
