Chapter 27 – Incoming Immigration
It was a better of relief that Kenji was not setting foot on the planet. When they detected the incoming fleet the next day, Drake and a small group had made them halfway to talk negotiations. It was a massive relief to Drake and the trio that it was Kenji Blackthorn who showed up. They were all in talking via video call on their ships.
"I have no intention of living on the planet. I just wanted to make the official claim. However, if you really don't want me there, there's something I need from all of you. Something I'll pay handsomely for." Kenji said seriously. "I want the villain known as Overhaul. Alive or dead, but perferrably alive. I need his Quirk to help a dying niece of mine. Get him for me and I'll see to it you are rewarded well. You'll have the planet under protected status as cover to do this for me."
Drake put a pause on the transmission to turned to Nezu.
"This is big. If we bag Overhaul for Kenji, the Blackthorn clan's favor is basically life insurance for us!" Drake said excitedly.
Nezu would be opposed to axing a villain for the sake of a reward, but he made exeception given the need to help an innocent child. Plus, the guy was making Quirk-erasinig bullets. He had to die before the League even got to him.
"So, we're all in the same ballpark?" Jericho said.
"Yes, we are. We can't miss this chance, but where is Young Midoriya?" All Might asked. "Normally, he'd be visiting me, but he's been only calling lately."
"He's off-world." Albedo said. "Working with what was once Cobalt. They're actually due back tomorrow morning."
"Regardless, we're going to put efforts to dismanstle Overhaul's organizations. Seeing we have the intel, we can go after him before or after the Sports Festival. It's in three weeks from now."
"Can't believe it's been several months already. Though we did cheat with the time chamber." Jericho said before unpausing the transmission. "We accept your offer."
"Good, then there's no reason for me to come if it's all handled. Welcome to Blackthorn Empire." Kenji said with a wide grin. "And you'll be getting an influx of immigrants. I believe the safe haven was Deika City. Apparently, warpers have settled on the mainland. No offense but that city offered more security and isolation."
"It's fine." Albedo said.
"Good, then Kenji out." Kenji said before ending the transmission.
"I can't believe Cobalt's going to end up profiting off of this. XanTech's going to be pissed." Jericho said.
"Not exactly, XanTech is more geared and specialized towards dealing with our island exclusively and using us as a resource to get products for themselves. If anything, Kyu would have more of an issue unless she opens up shop in Deika." Drake said. "Speaking of Deika, we should probably get a place there before it gets too expensive."
"I already put an order for homes. They're 'importing' a few buildings. So, I put money down on a few places all based on your preferences. For Harley, I got a high-end vibrant apartment at Eclipse Towers. For the three of us, I got us each our stilt house in the hills modeled after the ones in Los Santos each boasting a ten-car garage. As for what version I got for you two, that's a surprise." Jericho said exactly.
"Deika's going to be a real hotbed for warpers." Nemuri said shaking her head.
"And I see Drayden's aware. He put money down on an auto shop and a garage. He just posted it up in social media. Kyu is definitely going to put a stake in Deika. That place is going to get reconstructed and be unrecognizable from canon." Drake said looking at his phone.
"How long until the construction will be complete?" Aizawa asked.
"If they get back tomorrow morning, a few hours or less. Multiple warpers combining their warper edit among the technology they got, it'll be all done before lunch tomorrow." Albedo said.
"Meeting dismissed then." Nezu said. "And I've made discussion with the Hero Public Safety Commission. They want a meeting, today."
"Well shit, guess we better prepare our best suits. Harley, go change to your Harleen Quinnzel outfit. We need you looking presentable." Drake said as Harley went to her room on the ship. "We have prepared for this day."
"You're planning something." Aizawa said sternly.
"Oh definitely. But we are not telling you anything so you'll have denability." Jericho said. "Now if you'll excuse me, we need to get ready."
As All Might, Nezu, Aizawa, and Midnight took their leave, the trio got ready. Drake changed to a Perseus obsidian suit, an ice blue tie, black wingtips, his black longcoat, and a pair of aviatior sunglasses with a blue gradient. Jericho returned to her skirt suit ensemble adding a pair of cateye sunglasses. Albedo had donned a black double breasted jacket, red turtle neck, dark red pants, black wingtips, a red fedora, and half-moon red sunglasses. This time, they had Harley drive them out in a limo.
As Harley drove, Albedo's phone rang.
"Toru. It's good to hear from you, but I can't talk at the moment. I'm going to a meeting with the Hero Commission. Is it serious? Maybe. I'll keep all of you posted." Albedo said before hanging up.
Drake's phone had rang with it being Rumi who called.
"Is it true? The Hero Comission is calling you in?" Rumi asked.
"Yeah." Drake said.
"I'm on my way." Rumi said. "For one you need someone in your corner. No ifs, ands, or buts."
She hung up on him and he sank in his seat. Soon enough they arrived at the building where Rumi was waiting for them. Harley parked the car and let the trio out.
"The lion's den awaits. You have the folder?" Jericho asked.
"I do." Drake said revealing out hidden in his coat. "Let's go."
The five walked in to see have police around. An officer came up to them asking if it was them.
"The boardroom on the next floor." The officer said gruffly. "And…thanks for protecting those students at U.A. I don't exactly agree with your presence here, but…I am thankful you've been of aid."
Drake bowed respectfully before they headed to the boardroom which was being guarded by more cops and Endeavor.
"So Mr. Todoroki, the security tells me it's more than just the president." Jericho said.
"The Chief of Police and a representative from the Prime Minister. I wish I could see how you'll waltz out with a smirk after this." Endeavor said with a grin. "Miss Usagiyama, you're going to have to walt out here."
Harley, Drake, Albedo, and Jericho went in. There was the Hero Public Safety Comission President, Kenji Tsuragamae the Police Chief, and a third guy in a dark suit with sunshades that they did not know.
"Yes, if it is our space guardian angels. I am Special Agent Araysh of the Kōanchōsa-chō." Araysh said. "Serving on an envoy for our esteemed prime minister."
"Drake?" Albedo asked a bit unfamiliar with the term.
"The Kōanchōsa-chō is basically Japan's intelligence agency. Like America's CIA." Drake explained taking a seat before focusing on the three. "Arashi. Arashi Drake."
"Belladonna Jericho." Jericho said taking her seat.
"Tennyson Albedo." Albedo said taking her seat.
"Quinnzel Harleen." Harley said being last to seat.
"Kinoshita, Meli." The President stated.
"Tsuragamae Kenji. I serve as the police chief." Kenji said gruffly.
"So I got your message, and to be honest, this was far long overdue. I knew I was not exactly going to be waltzing about without the Commission wanting answers." Drake said sternly.
"Given that Nezu isn't forthcoming on certain information." Araysh said.
"I believe this is because of the position Albedo, Drake, and Jericho had taken. Being this planet's guardians." Harley said seriously. "As guardians, they decide on who is worthy of being of it."
"Technically, that was in the olden days of warping. But if you want that precious information, there's something we want as a trade." Jericho said seriously. "Something the Prime Minster can gave us. However, the price is considerably high."
"And it's not money we want." Albedo said.
That got the chief guessing for the moment.
"You want a pardon?" Chief Tsuragamae asked.
"Yes, but not for us." Jericho said.
"Kaina Tsutsumi." Drake said as the room went quiet.
"You can't be serious!" President Kinoshita asked. "She's a…"
"A murder sactioned by the Commission to do their dirty work. Like Hawks being a spy for the League?" Drake said darkly as the president flinched.
Drake took out the folder and put it on the table.
"We are all aware. We do our homework on the people we work with, our allies, and our enemies." Drake said glaring at the president fiercely. "I can't call myself a hero, but I'll be damned if I tolerate someone willing to cover-up their bullshit by fucking over their people."
The president was sweating, and it really did not help that the chief and the agent wanted answers. Araysh swiped the folder and leaved through it with the chief.
"Oh boy, this is a hot mess. We can't have this exposed to the public. As for the pardon, I believe that can be granted." Araysh said. "I'll make the call."
"But, what if she talks?" President Kinoshita said.
"She won't because you're going to step down." Albedo said. "From what we exposed, you could easily be arrested. But like certain people, the only reason we're not just publicly ruining you is because we need you. So, step down, name a replacement, take your retirement, and be grateful you're not being shoved in a cell."
"You three certainly got a fire about you. Military, I assume?" Araysh asked.
"Me and Drake were former PMC." Jericho said as the chief raised an eyebrow. "But we have important details to go into. And the soon to be former President has a pardon to write, an apology letter to write, and her resignation speech to do. So beat it."
The president just left the room and Endeavor had a shocked look to see her look so defeated. Rumi was wondering what the hell did they say. With her gone, Harley soundproofed the room.
"Good, the room is soundproofed. We will entrust you with the details. Be warned that once you know, you can not go back." Drake said as the two ended. "All right. Let's get you up to speed."
With the secret bestowed upon, the four gave details and a bit of information. The two new warpers knew they were not being told everything but opted not to press them.
"So we have more of you…well us coming, our universe has been claimed by a man we can't fathom to beat. How strong are we talking?" Araysh asked.
"His base form could mop the floor with your ten best heroes." Jericho said.
"Base form? He can transform…." Araysh balked.
"Yeah, he can transform into a form that multiplies his strength by 50. And well, he can push it another and another with a rising multipler. Point being All Might and All For One together would not be too much of a threat for him. The whole clan would make a mockery of every hero and villain here." Drake said seriously.
"But they are not an issue. With the Blackthorn clan owning the universe, it's basically a warning sign for any malovenet warpers to not fuck with this universe." Jericho said.
"With the endless possibilities, it is without a doubt that All for One can not learn of this secret." Araysh said sternly.
"I concur." Chief Tsuragamae said. "Thank you for entrusting us with the secret."
"We may have to form a unit for Interdimensional Affairs. But I will discuss most of this with the PM and see to it you four are fully licensed heroes. You've proven your worth and it's best you work unhindered." Araysh said. "But given the three of you are still teenagers, I need you under a Pro Hero for a few months for appearances."
"Understood." The trio said.
"Then we're done here. Go ahead and pick up Lady Nagant from Tartarus." Araysh said as the four got up to leave. "I must discuss a few things with the Chief."
"Thank you sirs." Drake said formally.
"Thank you. And… Nihon e yōkoso." Araysh said.
"Marude ie o deta koto ga nai yōdesu." Drake said as the four left.
"Interesting." Araysh said looking at the gift baskets the Order Rep left. "We've been bestowed with knowledge beyond the stars."
"Is it weird I want to know if I'm a popular character or not?" Chief Tsuragamae asked.
Araysh got a laugh out of that.
-OAA-
[Tartarus]
Kaina Tsutsumi sat in her cell with a bruise on her face from a guard who claimed force was needed on her even if she was restrained. Guards entered her cell and she looked up at them hatefully. She expected something, but they were all unmoving and silent. One had spoken up.
"Today is your lucky day, prisoner. Or should I say, ex-prisoner. You're being released."
Kaina's eyes with wide.
"Don't make jokes with me." Kaina said harshly.
"Not a joke. You've been pardoned with your record wiped clean. The charge you were given to end up has been overturned. You are no longer a prisoner, you are a free woman." The guard said as the rest of the guards were hoisting her up. "You will be escorted to processing for release. Congratulations on being the first to get out."
"Wait, who got me the pardon?" Kaina asked.
"Three people who apparently got the Prime Minister to get you the pardon. I was asked to inform you that the Hero Public Safety Commission President has stepped down. I don't know why, but whatever…"
For Kaina, it was all a blur. She was free. Free from straitjacket, free from the prison, and able to see the sun. The sun on her skin was euphoric for her as was being back in her clothes which were a bit tight. As she walked out the Bronze Gate, there was a person and a modified school bus…to her confusion.
"Miss Tsutsumi, I'm glad that I and my friends got you out of prison." Drake said only for the woman to hug him tightly. "I know you've been without another touch, but…a bit too tight."
"Sorry. I'm more disclipined than that, but thank you for getting me out. But I have to ask why and how?" Kaina asked.
"I'll explain when we're in the air." Drake said leading her to the C.O.O.L.B.U.S. "Harley, get us out of here."
Harley took them airborne as Kaina was wide-eyed.
"We have flying school buses now?!" Kaina asked.
"You should have a seat. We have a lot to unpack." Jericho said.
By the time, they explained everything...and Order Rep came to register the now warper Kaina, she had one question.
"So if I go kill the former president, the police can't arrest me." Kaina asked.
"Don't bother. The former president is terrified you'll come after her and she's already getting the hell out of the country. Besides she is no longer an issue for you now that you're free." Drake said.
Kaina sighed.
"I see you freed me for pragmatic reasons, but I will thank you regardless. But where are we heading?" Kaina asked.
"We're setting you up in a hotel. As we're going to move you to Deika City, it's become a warper hotspot. And I think being among other warpers would help. We have a few coniditons for release, namely needed therapy sessions and someone to keep an eye on you." Drake said gently. "We couldn't arrange the first one. The PM wanted to do that, but the second thing was something we could handle. In fact, after talking to him, he gladly accepted."
"Who is he?" Kaina asked.
"One of my students. The cinnamon roll." Drake joked.
(A/N: To clarify some things, our heroes have a week off school. Then when they return to school, it'll be two weeks before the Sports Festival. But yeah, this was heavy on story. Araysh was an original creation, think of him akin to Mike Toreno but a bit more openly friendly. But yes, Lady Nagant is free! Next chapter is the opening to the new Deika City.)
