Reviews
LADZ destroy: Thanks, Yes, I'll take a look at it, and Yes.
Tim Curry's Toxic Love: Knockout and Scandal are not OC, they are owned by DC universe and they were in the last Suicide squad animated film...I believe it's called a Hell to Pay For.
Neroblaze11: Thanks for the comment and I always intended to make Dabi a part of Trinity. His story is similar too but yet different from his canon self.
Alright that is it for reviews. As always I don't own anything. I just take a bunch of ideas and combine to make one helluva story.
Chapter 38: The Enemy of my Enemy
Katsuki Bakugo had been in weird places in his life, but none weirder then this. Right now he was being held hostage by a girl about his age with cat-like eyes and blonde hair just like him. The girl was twirling her knife as she constantly asked him questions about Deku, it was so many questions that it was getting annoying and uncomfortable.
Seriously she asked him what cut on him would look more sexy, one on his chest or one on his forehead. Yeah, it was creepy as hell and he was at the point of throwing his head into the brick wall. Toga kept on pestering question after question, but her fun soon came to an end when a knock came from the door. She knew that it was a signal to bring Katsuki to the others in the bar. She ceased her questions and got behind the explosive teen quickly.
"Time to go meet my friends."
"Hope they aren't as crazy as you."
"Nope, but I wish. Crazy can be fun." Katsuki just sweat dropped and went to the door where he opened and followed Toga to wherever she was leading him.
He didn't see much and he couldn't blast his way out of here since he had an inhibitor collar around his neck that blocked him from using his powers. Hell, Katsuki doesn't even know how long he has been here.
What happened in the forest with the rest of the students? What happened to Deku? All Katsuki remembers is that he was running through the forest with some of the rest of the students and next thing he knows he was confronted by a man with burnt skin.
He and the rest of the students battled the man but hopelessly lost. Katsuki bit the inside of his cheek, it seems every time he gets stronger there is someone more powerful than him. When will he ever be able to say that he is strongest. When will he be able to stand next to Deku equally.
"We're here. Now, be on your best behavior. These are my friends." Toga reminded Katsuki of his behavior and the teen had no choice, but to comply. When he nodded his head Toga opened the door and low and behold Katsuki saw the rest of the gang.
There they were every member of the League minus Muscular for obvious reasons. Scandal was behind the bar cleaning a glass, Kurogiri was next to her staring at the boy that team risked their lives to get. Tomura was sitting on a stool building a house of cards.
Killmonger was next to him with a shot of alcohol in his hand. Over by the stools there was the man with burnt skin sitting in the booth in front of him was a huge woman with red hair and muscles not to mention a black eye on her right eye. Next to the woman was another woman with brown hair and black shades. A man wearing a top hat was over by the door and another was on the other side, this one was wearing an all black suit and seemed to be talking to himself.
"Aren't you all one giant clown show." Those were the first words out of Katsuki's mouth and one would think that he would analyze the situation and make sure that he was careful what he said. But there was no such thing as censorship on the teen.
"This kid can't be worth it." Scandal told Tomura as he continued to build his house of cards.
"I'm with Scandal on this one. What makes this kid worth it to bring him into the League." Killmonger voiced his opinion now, he was the second in command of the team. His opinion mattered on the situations like this and Tomura wanted to hear his words.
"Wait. you idiots expect me to join this little band of yours. Hell no!" Katsukiu gave his answer and was about to walk out the front door. That was the plan before he felt a strong grip on his shoulder. He looked over to see Knockout's hand on his right shoulder and she was gripping it tightly.
"Now, now, it's rude to act impolite when other people are talking." Knockout gave him a gentle squeeze that made Katsuki wince and brought him down to his knees. Everyone watched as the teen collapsed thanks to the raw strength of Knockout. The woman was quite powerful.
"Knockout, enough." Knockout heard the command from her leader and like a good girl she released her hand. The power woman went back to sit in her booth and Katsuki got up looking at Tomura, his house of cards were complete.
"Why am I here?" Katsuki asked him and Tomura sighed, he turned on the stool to face the teen and looked in his eyes. Katsuki saw the pale face of Tomura and the red eyes that seemed like they were looking inside of him.
"I need your help."
"Why would I ever think of helping you?" Katsuki tried not to laugh for he thought that last sentence was a joke. It had to be, there was no way a villain would ask a future hero like him to help him.
"Well, for one you're a good guy and guys seem to always want to help people. The world is in danger and you might be able to help us." Katsuki stared at Tomura for a moment, then he cracked up laughing. The bar was now filled with the laughter of Katsuki as he held his stomach, he was dying from the inside.
"Tomura, must've been a great comedian to make that kid laugh. That joke sucked badly." Twice was doing...Twice things. When Katsuki stopped laughing he wiped a tear from his eye and saw the serious look from the leader of the League.
"Oh, shit. You're serious."
"Imagine this house of cards as the world. It's in balance, think of the cards as villains and heroes. We support each other in a...weird way. Heroes need villains to prove their metal and make them famous. Villains need heroes to test their strength and power. It's been a constant and never ending battle, just like in the comics. But also like in the comic there is always this...uncommon enemy. An enemy that both heroes and villains can't beat, it's someone that they are both afraid of. Your friend Izuku is working with that person."
"I don't know where you got your information hand-job, but Deku ain't working for no one." Tomura would normally get annoyed by someone calling him a name, but he just stared at Katsuki and gave him the cold hard truth.
"Have you ever seen spy movies? Sometimes there is the guy who is a bad ass spy. Now this spy is on the good guy side and believes that everything he does is for the good guys. Fast forward till they meet the bad guy. All bad guy does is say some...I don't stupid or corny phrase. Good guy then becomes a bad guy." Tomura used the best analogy that he could think of to make Katsuki understand and he could see that the boy was still confused. Tomura sigh and basically told what the teen didn't want to hear.
"Basically I'm saying what are the chances that your friend is really your friend not some double agent to spy on the best hero school in the world." Katsuki snorted and looked at the man like he was crazy.
"What reason would Deku have to spy on UA? He's the top student."
"Last time I checked All Might still goes to UA and this Trinity group is after him. If Izuku is the top student wouldn't that mean he would get some close up time with him All Might." Katsuki widened his eyes briefly, but shook his head. There was no way that Deku was a spy or a traitor, Deku was Deku...sometimes.
"Nice try, but I'm not falling for that. I don't know what kind of trick you're pulling, but Deku is Deku. He is nothing more and nothing less." Tomura turned back in his seat to look at the house of cards. He grabbed the next one in the pile and continued to build it.
"Muscular would say different. Well…he can't since he's dead. Izuku killed him." Katsuki widened his eyes and called bluff on him, but the look on the other villain's eyes told a different story.
Killmonger saw what was left of Muscular and he doesn't think that he will get the image out of his head...ever. The black burned bones of the villain were then turned to dust by a blow of breath from Izuku. He had seen death in his life most of them have, but not like that.
"Toga, take him back to his room. Katsuki, think about what we are offering. We are offering you a chance to be a hero...a real hero. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity." Toga nodded her head happily and pushed Katsuki back through the door that would lead to his room. He was not going anywhere so he better get comfortable and hopes that someone can find him soon.
"What do you think?"
"I still think we are wasting our time with him." Scandal told Killmonger as she put down the clean cup, grabbing another one as the next member of the League spoke.
"Think he'll join." Magnae asked aloud, she was uncertain.
"Maybe, I saw his face. He seems torn." Spinner spoke next and then it was Twice.
"I'm always torn. Seriously you guys should see my face." Everyone was silent at that comment, but then Compress spoke next.
"I think what Spinner means is Katsuki is torn between the loyalty of his friend and his duty as a hero." Compress corrected the eccentric villain.
"How long should we keep him? I mean we can't keep here forever." Knockout and this time it was Kurogiri that spoke.
"We'll move him to a secure facility in time. My master also sees uses in his quirk. There is a possibility that we could take it and use it for the Nomus."
"Taking his quirk won't make him a fan of ours Kurogiri." Tomura spoke plainly, he had his mind on other things and the others could feel it.
"Tomura, something wrong?" Knockout asked the leader sweetly, but he ignored it for he was going to ask a question that put everything that he has been trying to build at risk.
"How do you know Trinity, Dabi?" Everyone widened their eyes and turned to the burnt man who was silent during the conversation with Katsuki.
The man saw all eyes on him and did something strange to the occupants who were starting to get on guard. Scandal reached for the gun at her side, Killmonger produced a spike, Knockout arm seemed a little close to his side of the table and Kurogiri eyes were on him meaning he was ready to teleport him if need be. What did Dabi was rub the back of his head, he didn't think that he would be revealing so soon. But oh well, it was bound to happen.
"So, you heard my convo with Shadow. Huh, I thought I turned that com off when I got Killmonger's squad out."
"Answer the question." This time the voice came from Terra, all eyes turned to her momentarily as she was leaning on the doorframe, Mustard by her side to help her walk. She still had not recovered from her injury, but was able to walk.
"Should you be up kid?"
"Answering the damn question? I'm tired of secrets." Tomura asked again, this time he looked at the man that he is supposed to trust. His tone carried a hint of danger in it and Dabi smiled, his smile showed his teeth.
"Heh, oh are you now. So what, are we going to make campfires and tell each other stories of our pain and suffering?" Dabi asked with humor all in tone, but everyone was not in the mood for games. Especially not Tomura, but he did decide to play the burned man's game.
"I accidentally killed my cousin, grandparents, mom, and dad on the day I got my quirk. The hands I wear on my body for my costume all belonged to them. I carry them as a reminder of what I did...of what I can't change." Everyone in the bar widened their eyes in shock and horror. They looked at Tomura in surprise, shock, and sympathy because they did not expect to hear that.
"Tomura," Knockout tone carried sympathy, but the elder teen didn't need to hear it. It was done and in the past and nothing can change what happened.
"I shared mine, now share yours. Are you the agent sent by Wesker to kill us?" Dabi was surprised to hear that, but fair is fair right.
"Call Toga, it's only fair that we are all here to hear it." Tomura gave a look to Scandal and she nodded her head.
"Toga, come on back."
"Oookkk." Toga dragged energetically and locked Katsuki in his room. She then headed to the bar to hear what Dabi had to say.
"She's here now, talk." All eyes were on Dabi now as he took deep breaths and opened his mouth to tell them his origin story and how he knows Trinity.
With Izuku
Izuku was in a metal room with a single table in front of him, he stared at a window that showed his reflection and there were cameras in every corner of the room. This was a room that he had seen so often and he never thought he would be put in one again.
How often did Izuku spend time in the interrogation room for Trinity, mostly it was from the other side watching as the occupant in the room began to sweat. His mother was the one that did the gentle interrogations, when it got physical that was his job.
Izuku has been in this room for...what 6 hours since Katsuki was kidnapped. Honestly this was a waste of time to him and the more seconds they waste is seconds that he could use to find his friend. He has no clue where the League is, but it shouldn't take him long to find them. He is Shadow, no target has escaped him.
Why was he in the integration room, well...it's because he killed Muscular. He has no regrets, trust him on that, but the heroes decided that it was too dangerous for him to be left out in the open and wanted him to stay close.
Izuku leaned his head on his hand, Ochako and Kota were safe. He is wondering how she is doing. God, he wanted to be next to her in the hospital bed, but that would have to wait. He needs to get Katsuki back and then he needs to meet his brothers. Izuku closed his eyes to ponder his thoughts as the occupants on the other side of the room looked at the child.
"I don't like this Shouta." Present Mic always voiced his opinion and that is something that Aizawa respected and admired in him.
"Neither do I, but we have no choice, Hizashi." Present got informed of the details when the pros arrived at the campsite. He couldn't believe what he heard, but the Pussycat confirmed what Aizawa told them in the report. Izuku not only killed Muscular, but obliterated him. Leaving no body at all, nothing, but dust.
"I never seen anything like that before in my life. Mic his eyes were cold blooded, like the time when we faced him in the lab." Present still get nightmares of those eyes that he saw. Those cold and emotionless eyes that just didn't seem human.
"What are we going to tell Nemuri?" Aizawa rubbed his eyes tiredly, that was another situation that he had to deal with. Mic, Aizawa, and Midnight, the three of them all go way back.
They were best friends, basically family. Izuku was like their nephew just as much as he was her son. They didn't want this, but they were going to have to convince Midnight that this was for his own good and everyone else's safety.
"I'll tell-"
*Slam* The door slammed open and Aizawa sighed, he didn't need to turn around for he saw in the reflection that it was one angry and pissed mother glaring a hole at the back of his head. If looks could kill Aizawa would not be standing right now. The eraser hero saw Smoker next to her with an apologetic look on his face. He knows that he tried, but when it comes to Izuku Midnight will not be denied.
"Nemu-"
"Where is he?!" Aizawa couldn't even get her name out before his voice was overshadowed by her demand to know where her son was.
"He is in the box and he is going to stay there until otherwise." Midnight went to the door that would lead into the interrogation room, she was going to free her son and they were going home. As her hand was about to reach the knob a familiar scarf reached out and stopped her from opening the door.
"Aizawa, if our friendship means anything to you. You will let me go so I can speak to my son." Aizawa was not going to do that even if it meant straining their friendship. Nemuri is veteran pro, she knows that she must put aside her personal feelings when it comes to the job, but it gets hard when it comes to a love one. Especially if that loved one is your son.
"You are not going in there, Nemuri. No one is until we have our situation resolved. A student is missing, a villain is dead, and UA is looking terrible right now. I know you love him, and I do too, the brat is basically my nephew. You think I wanted to do this?"
"Then why did you!?"
"Because Nemuri he killed someone! A sixteen year old kid, your son, killed an A-Rank villain without hesitation or mercy! There is not even a body to bury! He can't be out especially if Katsuki is missing. I know their relationship and you know that so you ask yourself this question. How far is Izuku going to go to get him back? Because if I let him out now then there will be bodies everywhere by sunset."
Aizawa and Nemuri were in a standoff and Mic was a rock caught in a hard place. On one side he wanted to help Nemuri with this situation, but Aizawa was his best friend. And as much as he hates himself for thinking this, he agrees with Eraserhead.
Mic agrees that Izuku should stay locked up until this mess is settled. They just need a day at best, when they get Katsuki, take down the League, and at worst deal with the media storm. Then all of them can talk about Izuku's situation.
"Nemuri," Midnight turned her furious eyes to the rock hero and saw him take off his shades. "Shouta is right. Izuku needs to stay there until all this mess settles. When it is done I promise you will get to see him." The heartbroken look on Nemuri's face was something that Mic will never forget. It nearly broke him to cause this pain to her, but it had to be done.
Nemuri stared at her so called best friends, these two men had her back through everything and had helped her become the woman that she is now. And now when she needs them the most they turn their back on her. Nemuri didn't say anything to them and left the room, leaving only Smoker, Mic, and Aizawa. All three men sighed and Smoker walked to the glass to stare at his handler.
"Nezu is looking for you two. He wants to go over a plan to rescue Katsuki and deal with the media. I think the mouse has something big and crafty planned." Both Aizawa and Mic nodded their heads and went to join Nezu in the conference leaving Smoker to watch over Izuku. Little did they know that Smoker already had a plan to bust him out.
With the door closed Smoker walked up to it and locked it, he then turned his body into smoke and snuck into the interrogation box through the holes underneath the door. When Izuku opened his eyes he saw a cloud of white smoke from itself into Smoker.
"What's the situation?" Izuku got right to the point and Smoker did the same. He was honest with him, shit was bad and getting worse with each passing minute.
"Bad. The media is having a frenzy. Nezu is talking with the teachers and working with the pros to pull off a rescue op to get the kid back."
"They know where he is?" Smoker nodded his head and Izuku got even more interested.
"One of your students, the Momo girl placed a tracker on one of the villains. The heroes are putting together a squad and All Might is in it. But we have one problem, a major one at that."
"Cameras."
"Previous footage, took care of it before coming here." Izuku nodded his head and allowed Smoker to continue.
"The Tribunal is starting to move and we don't know how long we can keep them out. Your actions against Muscular are bringing the hounds to our door and we can not allow that to happen." Izuku gritted his teeth, the Tribunal is a problem. A problem that he can't deal with it...yet. But in time he will deal with the Tribunal's dogs and GUN.
"My brothers and I will deal with the Tribunal later. Trinity even wants them gone, but now what matters most is Katsuki retrieval. You got the location?" Smoker nodded his head and slipped a piece of paper with the coordinates to the bar. Shadow looked at the numbers and memorized them. He then gave it back to Smoker to trash it.
"You got a two minute window. When the lights go out is your signal, head to the air vents they will lead you outside. Oh, and go easy on me." Smoker then turned into a cloud of Smoke and went back outside the room. He turned back into his solid self and ripped the paper into pieces then tossing it into the trash. No evidence, no speculation.
Izuku waited for the lights, Smoker said two minutes and so he counted them down in his head. When the two minutes were up the lights turned off in his box and he smiled. Smoker opened the door to see what was going and Izuku attacked him. A solid chop to the neck put Smoker down, he had to make it look believable.
Izuku got outside the box and looked up at the air vent, he then climbed up and began to make his way to the roof. But before he climbed he looked back down at Smoker, the teen went back down and took his gun. With his spy's gun in his hand the teen climbed up the air vents and began to make his way to the outside world. He then began to head to the bar and rescue Katsuki, and in the process take down the League.
Izuku made it outside, the wind was chilly and the sun was up, he didn't waste time as he grabbed the gun from his waist. He grabbed the gun and looked at it, Smoker gun was a sliver revolver, classic. Shadow checked to see that it loaded and it was. He smiled, his spy thought ahead and got his weapon prepared.
Shadow looked ahead at the city, he then disappeared in a flash, his destination was the villains. His mission was to save Katsuki and end the League. Shadow narrowed his eyes and disappeared in a flash, the hunt was on and the mission had begun.
The teen leapt to another building and while doing so he heard the alarm from the station. Someone had found Smoker or he had alerted of his disappearance, either it doesn't matter. He was already gone and they were going to find him eventually.
Villain Bar
"And that is how I came to be." Dabi finished telling his origin story to the team and they all had looks of horror on their face. Toga for once looked sick to her stomach, her face was pale to begin with, but now it looked paler.
*Hrk* Spinner went to the closet trash can and threw up in it. It was understandable because...Dabi which he prefers to be called story is...it's just sickening.
"So your-"
"Yeah." Dabi confirmed for Scandal.
"That means your mother-"
"Yeah."
"So she-"
"Yeah. Yeah to all those lingering questions in your mind." Dabi took a sigh and leaned his head back on the cushion.
"Listen, you don't have to like me, but trust me. I don't like Trinity as much as any of you. In fact I want them gone. I was going to use all of you for my own gain, but I gotta say Tomura kind won me over with that speech of his when we first met. I'll help you achieve your goals, but Trinity has to go before anyone can do anything."
"So you know how many people work for Wesker." Dabi nodded his head and answered the question.
"Lots, the most powerful are the agents. Bullseye who we all had the unfortunate pleasure of meeting is Wesker right hand. He leads the chairman's most deadly unit of agents."
"Which are?" Killmonger asked.
"The Black Hand. Wesker commands them and gives the orders, but Bullseye is second to him when it comes to the Hand. The Black Hand consists of the most powerful agents in Trinity. Bullseye, Blackfire, Sabertooth, and Frost. Those are some that everyone fears."
"What about Izuku?" This voice came from none other than the computer, Tomura sensei had been listening and hearing every word. Dabi's story had confirmed what he always feared would happen with Wesker. The man has truly lost his mind. To do that, to let that happen to a child. Wesker has become the devil himself and he doesn't even see it.
"Shadow was one of the members of the Black Hand as well, but here is the thing. Shadow had his own squad called the Family."
"The Family? Explain please." Compress asked the former agent, curious to know what this squad is.
"The Family was second to the Black Hand, hell they might as well be the Black Hand but just younger. The Family was created by Wesker's wife, a woman named Holiday."
"Rebecca Holiday?" All For One voice carried surprise and shock, it had been some time since he heard that name.
"Yeah, that's her."
"Sensei, you know her?" All For One leaned back in his chair as he recalled the woman. He could never forget her for she was someone he was going to bring under his wing.
"Yes, I know of her."
"Well, anyway. Holiday led the Family that consisted of Shadow and his siblings which were her adopted children. Shadow, Sonic, Amy, Sliver, Gambit, are some that I know of. Rumor is the Family defected from Trinity, I didn't believe it but when Bullseye said that the kids went missing on Bounty Night I had a feeling that he was talking about them." All For One listened to all of this, he had an idea flowing through his mind, but he knew one thing and that his student was not going to like.
'There may be no choice, Tomura may hate it, but he has to accept that the League alone can not win this war against Trinity.' All For One sighed as he began to meditate, he would need to speak to Calculator about this. For now he will League in Tomura hands, it will be his someday and sooner might be becoming rather later.
"How powerful is Wesker?" Tomura asked the question, it was a burning question in his mind since he first heard this man's name.
"Powerful as how many quirks he has? Or powerful as in a generalization?" Tomrua hadn't thought about it so he just picked the best answer.
"Both." Dabi sighed, not even he knew how to answer that question. In fact he doesn't know if anyone in Trinity knows how powerful he is. As far as he knows Wesker has never been in a position where he had to assert his power. A threat here and there, but never has he shown his capability...his true capability.
"Honestly I don't know. I don't think anyone knows."
That left trouble for the League, they were hoping to get more info on the chairman, but they have none. If Dabi doesn't know how powerful he is then he wouldn't know if he had any weakness. Things were looking grim for the League and they were about to get wristy for they had an uninvited guest lurking in their air vents.
"Get the kid." Tomura ordered as he turn back in his seat. Toga knew that she was talking to her and nodded her head. She skipped to Katsuki room to fetch him for Tomura. Meanwhile Shadow was above in the air vents looking down at the bar below.
He narrowed his eyes as he looked at the targets below, he was outnumbered, but not out matched. Dabi would prove the most annoying for he is raw power...not to mention collateral damage. He could handle the rest, but if there was one major problem. That problem would be Kurogiri, the teleporter's ability to warp anywhere he wants could prove annoying.
Shadow was faster than his portals, but with him focused on the League he would not be able to get to Katsuki in time. Shadow narrowed his eyes as he looked down at Tomura, this was the perfect opportunity. He was right above him for the kill, all he had to do was drop down and end him with a cut to his throat with his dagger.
'Time to make an entrance.' Shadow thought as he created a red dagger, he then grabbed the revolver that he took from Smoker. The teen took a deep breath and steeled himself. It was showtime.
"So, really think after putting the kid in a time out that he would really accept our offer?" Tomura was about to answer his second in command, but before he could the air vent above the elder teen broke and down came Shadow.
Everyone widen their eyes and before they could react it was too late. Shadow kicked Scandal before she could grab her gun and then proceeded to stab Tomura's hands with his dagger.
"AAHH!" Tomura screamed in pain as the teen jammed his dagger into both hands and then with his right hand, the hand that carried his gun he cocked it back and pointed the barrel at the leader's head.
"Don't move or I blow his brains out!" Shadow warned them and it was a warning that they had to heed. If this was a normal hero than they would move without caring, but since Shadow is not normal they had to be careful. They could not afford to lose any more of them, especially their leader.
All members of the League got tense and it was indeed a tense situation. All For One watched it was well, this was the first time he was meeting the great and famous Shadow. The man stood up from his life support chair and decided it was time for him to make an entrance as well.
Shadow had the gun right on Tomura's forehead as he stared at all the members. None of them moved and as much as they wanted to they could not. Tomura painfully sucked in some air for Shadow had the dagger in both of his hands. He didn't care if he died, but damn sure wanted this boy dead.
"Nhh...Dabi...fry him!" Tomura tone carried authority as he ordered his ally to kill the teen, but Izuku was not having it.
"Move and I blast his head right open. You know I will...don't you Dabi." Dabi narrowed his eyes, he did not want this to happen for him, but it would seem that Shadow recognizes him for who he knows. As much as Izuku had the advantage the League had it as well.
"You do that and your friend gets a nice neck tie." Shadow was confused till he saw Katsuki be forced to walk center stage where Izuku could see him. Katsuki had angry eyes, but Izuku could see that he was scared and he had every right to be for Toga had a blade right under his chin. All she had to do was drag the blade across Katsuki's neck and it would be over for him.
"It would seem that we are at a stalemate." Compress spoke knowingly, neither side seemed like it was going to give. Izuku still had the barrel aimed at the temple of Tomura and Toga had the blade under Katsuki.
"Let him go and we won't kill the kid." Killmonger tried to negotiate with Shadow, but Shadow was never one to negotiate with his enemies.
"How about you let him go and I won't kill all of you. Dabi...I'm sure you remember my super move. I got enough power to blow this bar and the next two buildings over straight to hell." Izuku told them, his tone was not carrying bluffs and Dabi knew that he could do it. Toga made a tease with Katsuki and decided to drag the blade causing the teen to shudder and feel drops of his blood.
"Continue to drag that blade and your face ends up in that wall, blondie." Shadow tone was filled with darkness and Toga got very turned on by it. She smiled like the twisted girl that she was and her cheeks blushed a bright red color.
"What is it going to be Shadow?" Dabi asked the former agent and Shadow gave him his answer as his body began to glow red making them widen their eyes. Katsuki was included in the shock with the League, Shadow is going to kill them and Katsuki.
"Chaos…" Shadow started to say and the League began to move. Kurogiri eyes narrowed as his arms moved to warp Tomura, Dabi's flames ignited, Scandal pulled out her pistol, Killmonger grew spikes all over his body, and Knockout began to move towards Tomura. Hell was about to break loose in the bar before one word shut all of it down.
"ENOUGH!" Everyone including Shadow stopped what they were about to do and looked towards the computer monitor in the room. Tomrua widened his eyes as heard the voice of his master, he had never heard them that loud nor that angry.
"S-Sensei," Izuku turned his red eyes to Tomura, this sensei must be the one. The one that he was trained to kill.
'So All For One makes his appearance. Things just got interesting.' The teen still kept the barrel on Tomura's head, that was not going anywhere unless he pulled the trigger.
"My word, this generation today. It seems you all want to do is fight first and talk never. Izuku, I have heard many things about you."
"The same, All For One." All For One smiled when heard that, he wonders if Izuku heard more about him from Wesker or All Might.
"I see my former associate has talked about me...or was it All Might. He and I also have history...hehehe." Izuku knew that All For One was trying to play mind games with him, but he didn't fall for the bait. He was not moving this gun unless Katsuki was free.
"I don't know what you're playing at, but this barrel is not moving unless Katsuki is freed."
"Very well. Toga-chan, let go young Katsuki and remove the collar." Toga and the League were shocked to hear that, she didn't at first, but a nod from Tomura made her do it. She didn't follow All For One, but she did follow Tomura. Katsuki was released from the Toga knife and collar thus freeing his powers. Izuku nudged his head to tell him to come over to him and Katsuki didn't hesitate to come over to him. He went beside Deku and activated his own quirk.
"Now that I released your friend it would only be fair to release my student." Shadow thought about this moment for a minute. Katsuki was free and beside and he had a gun directly at the temple of Tomura. All it would take is a single pull of the trigger and bang...Tomura is dead. He would be fast enough to get Katsuki and flash out of here before the others could do something.
Katsuki saw the look in Deku and for once he might've seen what the League was talking about. The dark and cold look in eyes, the face was stone as he looked like he was about to pull the trigger and end the man on the other side.
"Izuku, if you are still having trouble believe me that we will not hurt you. I wish only to speak with you." Izuku raised his eyebrow and looked at the monitor and Tomura did the same.
"You do?" Izuku asked, but he wasn't sure that he heard the man correctly. Why would the true leader of the League of Villains want to talk to him?
"Yes, I do. But this conversation is better...in person. Kurogiri, open me a portal." Everyone widened their eyes and I mean everyone in the bar did. Izuku was not exempt from this party for he did not expect the All For One to leave his hidden base to speak with him.
"But..But master-"
"Do it." All For One tone left no room for argument and Kurogiri didn't think twice about questioning his master. The man did what he was told and indeed opened a portal. Now everyone got nervous and Izuku narrowed his eyes, this would be the first time that any of them save for Killmonger has met the former kingpin of crime.
The moment his first foot stepped through the portal everyone felt their hearts stop, for the moment some of the stronger ones could not breath.
This was the power that he was imposing, this was raw power, respect, and fear. Shadow actually had a bead of sweat drop down the side of his head, he had never felt anything like this save from one person and that person was none other than his father.
All For One stepped through the portal, dressed in his black suit, a black skull like mask covered his entire face. There were metal pipes going into him which Tomura knew was his life support system, the very thing keeping him alive.
Toga was shivering from the presence of All For One and she was not the only one as Katsuki, Spinner, Mustard, and Terra were all the same. The only one that was fine was Shadow and that was not easy to do. His heart was racing, it felt like it was ready to pop out of his chest.
"Now that I have arrived, would you be so kind as to release my student." Shadow looked at the man that his father wanted to kill, the one that gave All Might his injury.
Shadow then looked to Tomura to see his glare, he then turned his eyes to Katsuki to see that his best friend was petrified. He was nervous if not scared in the beginning, but now he is flat out afraid. If he did not start a fight for he would lose because his focus would be more on Katsuki than anything.
Shadow gritted his teeth and sighed, he un-cocked the gun and removed the barrel from Tomura's head. He then removed the daggers from the hands of the leader, but not without warning.
"Keep these hands off of people."
"Trust me the last thing these hands will touch will be you." Tomura growled the threat out as Knockout came to his side and bandaged his injured hands. Now that Tomura and Katsuki were free, the standoff was officially over and it was now time for business.
"Thank you, Izuku. Now that that is over. Let us talk." Shadow aimed his gun at All For One and the League got on guard, but a wave from All For One stopped them.
"What the hell would we have to talk about?" Izuku asked, this man was an enemy and the enemy of the heroes. As far as he is concerned All For One is the next target on his list after he deals with Trinity.
"How about Wesker? You see Izuku, we have a common enemy, a common threat." Izuku was now curious, but his curiosity did not mean that he would lower his gun. But...he did have a feeling we're All For One is going and as much as he would hate to think about it...it might prove to be a useful idea.
"What are you suggesting?" Izuku slowly, but surely lowered the gun. All For One smiled behind his mask and Izuku could've swore that he saw a smile behind that black mask. A sinister smile that would help the League and Izuku.
"Tell me, have you ever heard of saying: the enemy of my enemy is friend." Everyone widened their eyes all while Izuku narrowed his own. The teen was right, an alliance. An alliance between the League and his Family. The target: Wesker and Trinity. Two opposing factions becoming short term allies to annihilate a much larger threat. A suicide of an idea, but a sound one at that.
Izuku hopped over off the bar counter and landed on the ground. He put the gun down at his side and looked up at the great villain. He then said two words that Katsuki never thought he would hear his best friend say to a villain.
"I'm listening." There it was, the bar was in shock. Everyone including Tomura was jaw dropped, Shadow and All For One, to enemies were about to form an alliance. They couldn't believe it and yet it was happening, but the question remains. What now? Whatever happens next they better move quickly for time has officially run out.
Elsewhere Earlier
Wesker sat in his office chair, the man's eyes closed behind his black shades, his arms folded and his hands intertwined on his desk. To those that would walk in they think that their chairman was mediating and they were right. Wesker was mediating, plans were formulating, actions, reactions, counters. Wesker prepared for everything, for he knows that those that are truly prepared will see victory.
*Knock Knock* A woman knocked on the door twice and came into the office of the feared chairman. "Chairman Wesker, there was a security breach 40 minutes ago. A hacker tried to retrieve sensitive information. We have located where the attack came from and believe that it was Tails. Shall I send a team?" Wesker heard the words of his assistant Mercy and leaned back in his chair. He cracked his neck and Mercy heard two sickening cracks come from the man.
"No." Wesker only said that one word as he got up and removed himself from his desk. He walked to the door and as he passed by Mercy he told her something that made her widen her eyes.
"Assemble Team Black, tell them to head to Japan. I will meet with them shortly, and as for this hacker...heh. Well, I will deal with that situation...myself. Besides, it's been some time since I've seen Calculator." Mercy widened her eyes, but Wesker did not see them because her head was bowed. She showed respect to her chairman as he was god himself.
"Mercy, the time has come. Tell the agents to head to their assigned locations, have the hackers ready the God Key that we stole from I-Island, and tell them to have the broadcast ready when I give the signal. It is time that we reveal ourselves to the world." Wesker continued to walk down the hallway as he made his way to his destination, but as he was walking he continued to speak.
"It is time for the two symbols to come to end...and for a new one to rise. The time of All Might and All For One has come to end, and now it's my time. It's time for a new Symbol of Evil." Wesker finished his words with a victorious smirk on his face, as if he knew...no, he knows that he will not be stopped.
Mercy still had her eyes wide for this would be the first time since the loss of Shadow that the chairman has stepped outside of the base. The first time since the loss of his children that he will be seeing action. The first time that the world we see how powerful he truly is. May god help the world, for Wesker...is now entering the game.
