Chapter 23
The Time Skip
Okay so Many must question why a chapter like this is being made? Well to simply put it I would never be able to get to the REALLY good stuff in a timely manner if I went through it like the earlier chapters. Not to mention I can't make well detailed chapters of every minute event. Thus we shall bunch a lot of these stories and events all into one. Do not fear many of them will be well detailed just MUCH shorter than the normal chapter. Without further adieu let's start with the most obvious story, Izai meeting Nezu.
Well shortly after saying goodbye to Kiralexia outside of the dorms to class 1-A, Izai decided to go to the Principles office to speak with him. After what he saw and heard today, he needed to make a new deal for the man. As he went to his office however he found someone else there. They were talking to the small principle with anger in there tone. As Izai got closer he noticed that it was Golden-White Jack, the pirate captain on Kiralexia's old crew. Izai wondered why they were there, as far as he was concerned at the time, the pirates and heroes already had a good deal. Unless the school was skimming things off the head?
As Izai got closer and cleared his throat to get there attention, Jack looked back and shook his hand. He stood behind while Izai spoke to Nezu about Kiralexia. Nezu understood it but said that it was something he deserved for disobeying the school so often. Jack then decided to defend Izai's statement and said the Kiralexia had suffered enough from a six year nap under a tree and even just flat out losing EVERYONE HE KNEW! Jack got so fiery that he leaned forward hard and stared the rodent down with hard eyes, and Nezu rethought it and realized that it was a good idea to improve Kiralexia's conditions over ruin them. He also realized that more punishment to him would do nothing but make the relationship between the two worse.
Thus Nezu agreed with a bit of a nervous tone, to allow Kiralexia break days, where he is allowed to even go out on his own so long as someone of 1-A was around to confirm where he went. Basically the same deal just more emphasis on going more solo, as recently the school has begun to learn that Kiralexia would not just up and leave them since he has no where to go. Jack and Izai thanked Nezu for this and left the room together, yet not before Jack threatened him on if things don't change, he will make a message they won't forget. Izai then asked jack why he was here. Jack simply looked at him and sneered before speaking.
"The heroes of this damn school aren't going the full mile on our deal, it's starting to get under my skin. Just three days ago Aizawa arrested one of my men for false charges of murder. I knew that man, he had never killed IN Japan, only other pirates, yet now he's stuck in jail and I can't do shit."
"That's horrible I'm sorry they are treating your crew like that. Do you even know why they are doing this?"
"Bigots, racists, all the terms you can think of. But I think the real reason is that they don't trust us even though I have kept MY end of the deal with them but they aren't. What do you think I should do to punish them?" Jack asked eyes narrowed.
Izai thought for a moment, he didn't want the relationship to get worse, however if the heroes didn't play on there deal, things would end with blood. Izai had to think of something that would be tame, but enough to be clear that they have to change or else. Something clicked and he snickered.
"How about you spread rumors of them, only IN the school though. Something small like um, Aizawa thinks All Might was hot or something. You know gossip so that way they HAVE to listen before crazier rumors spread."
"A bit basic but I like the idea. Ya know what sure I'll do it, make rumors so that way they HAVE to listen to me. Good idea Izai, it is Izai right?"
"Yep you're Jack, Kiralexia's old first mate?"
"Correct, say I've been look for new recruits. If you're interested you can join my crew instead of being a hero."
"As interesting as that sounds, I would rather be a hero over a vi-Pirate." Izai answered quickly darting his eyes around. Jack smirked before speaking more.
"Ya know not many would change there mistakes mid scentence. Just know that offer will remain open for you in case you change you're mind." Jack said with a warm smile on his face.
Izai felt comforted by that information, even if it WAS a bit, odd to say the least. Even if he was gonna be a hero, it wouldn't hurt to see the truth of war, he knew what was coming, no one said it, but they definitely felt it. A villain war would rise, as of now nothing, thankfully, but he would need to see war to prepare for it. Still he'd decline it but said thanks for the offer being open. After that both went there separate ways and went on with there days.
As for the next few days after this, nothing much happened. Training Mineta still went on this time with assistance of Ichika and Izai who'd quiz him and make him give personal tests of how to treat women while Kiralexia made obstacle courses and physical training. Yet as Nezu promised, he was letting Kiralexia off a lot of work, and, with rewrites, more leniency with going outside of UA. THIS TIME he was allowed to go out without informing Aizawa or any other faculty member, BUT he still needed a chaperon. Not much but a lot better for freedom, and knowing UA would trust him more.
As for what Kiralexia and Ashido had been doing, well Kiralexia got those model sets and they built them. Ashido wasn't fully interested but found the final product nice to look at, even went into painting them. She painted herself first on accident with the spray can before getting the miniature. She went with a pink magenta look while Kiralexia went with a traditional look for his army. Both looked very proud of themselves making these pieces, Kiralexia even giving a thank you to Ashido for sticking through with it. As a whole Kiralexia's and Ashido's relationship has only been getting better, they'd been coming closer and more friendlier with one another. When Ashido was having a bad day, Kiralexia came to her room with nail polish and painted her nails for her while she talked about the day.
While Kiralexia worked on Ashido's nails, she decided to give him eyeliner. He picked red, since black would just blend into his own skin, and thus became by Ashido's terms, fabulous. It then devolved into a semi fashion show in her room with the two wearing different clothes, and even trying each others, with Ashido in a robe, and Kiralexia in a punk like clothing. Later in the day after this event Kiralexia joined the rest of the girls in a girls night. While MANY of them wanted to argue about that, Kiralexia was already into giving Tsuyu a proper hair doe, and even explained that "I can become a female to.". which once they remembered how his quirk worked, ya that made sense. As for how he was so good with dealing with Tsuyu's hair he simply remarked that he was around a lot of long hairs and had experience. That didn't sound confusing at all to the girls, but they weren't complaining, he was fun to hang around with.
Thus at that night they said he was an honorary member of girls night, which he felt really honored to be apart of. In fact a mere two days later he'd drive up to the dorm and tell the girls' Get in bitches, we going clubbing tonight.' and thus they did. It was on that night in the club that he showed how much he cared and respected them. When some drunk idiots tried to get to hands y on Yaoyorozu Kiralexia stepped in and stared them down hard. He stare mixed with what he said which was 'If you want a death scentence than be my guest and harass them. But know when I mean death scentence, I literally mean your pathetic lives end.' was enough to get them to move. Yaoyorozu thanked Kiralexia and he said he'd never allowed them to get hurt when he was there, which showed just how much he cared for them. He went out of his way to protect them, and even further when the same idiots tried again this time with a big guy with them, to make Kiralexia pay. What did he do, well he burned the mans clothes before breaking his arm and tossing him into a table. He looked down at him his foot on his chest and told them to leave, which prompted on to pull a knife out and try to slash at him, which ended in the man getting stabbed instead.
Note this, the man and the big buy weren't killed just really injured. After stabbing himself the three were forced out of the club by the bouncers, and Kiralexia was expecting a mouth full but instead got applause for defending both himself, and these women, and thus free drinks for him and his crew. That was unexpected but he was happy that he got thanked for that, instead of reprimanded, though one said he'd have to pay for the table he broke which was fair. After that night they all went home and passed out in the living room, all huddled together sleeping. A rather nice moment made even better for Kiralexia, for after that he was informed of the little device handed to Hatsume. She found a way to fix it. He now had a tracker for another Militia spot. He informed Dabi and said to come by tomorrow night to the bar to get to the place.
Once the night came Dabi, Toga, Twice, and Kiralexia all went to the location to find, nothing. Unlike the last place it was nothing but rubble, burnt and broken. Think of an ancient city ruin, that was the amount left from where the tracker said it was. The sight of a burnt down site which was MUCH farther than the last one, almost broke Kiralexia. He knew this one better than the last, and the people in it. These were a small army in this place, each jovial and treated him like family. As he walked to rubble with everyone else arguing why the hell this place was even tracked he stepped on something. He looked down and saw a charred photo in a frame, he picked it up and say himself with the leader of this group in it. Black lined the sides of the picture and his eyes swelled with tears as he looked at it. Lieutenant Fatin, a nice young man who had the spirit of a hero in him. He looked around to see if he could find at least his corpse and, he did. It was nothing but a skeleton but the dog tag didn't lie, this was Fatin, now nothing more but charred remains. He leaned down and pout his hand on the skeletons head, resting his own to it. He then began to cry in front of Dabi who saw him do this and asked why. Dabi then began to move down and tried to be comforting with and arm on Kiralexia's shoulder, but didn't know what to do.
Kiralexia in that instant simply whispered 'He was a good friend a now I will never see his smile again.'. Dabi the noticed this picture in his hand and asked what his name was. Kiralexia responded with Fatin and how despite his religion, he was a rather kind and caring man. He never judged him out of malice but from a gentle and kind heart within them. Now he was dead and no one here cared. Dabi patted his back a bit, he was never fully good with THESE types of things, yet he understood the pain he was in. loss was never easy, and this was someone Kiralexia, to him Greg, seemed to care about deeply. Kiralexia got up a bit and simply tilted his head to the side eyes still down.
"Unlike last time, let's give him a proper burial. it's the least he deserves." He said sounding mournful of the situation.
Thus unlike there first venture to an old Militia site, they began to bury one of the dead here. Fatin's corpse was carefully held while Twice and Toga dug a grave for him. Once it was dug Kiralexia and Dabi both aided in bringing him down there. Before they began to fill it though, Kiralexia took his dog tags and clenched onto them as Fatin's corpse was slowly covered with dirt. Then a tombstone was placed over it, unnamed but still enough for most to understand the meaning behind this. Kiralexia found a piece of metal and with no one looking at him made it into a plack, rusted and worn due to the metal used but still legible. He walked back to the tombstone where Dabi was lighting a candle under it and Twice was crying with a tissue in hand. Toga meanwhile was just silent grieving for Fatin, makes sense she barely knew him but the pain in Kiralexia's eyes told her this was a big deal. Once Kiralexia was behind Dabi he knelt to the ground and put the plack on the tombstone. Once it was on everyone read what it said under the dimly lit candle light.
To the fallen 25th crescent brigade. Whose sacrifice went unnoticed by others, yet not unsung. May Lieutenant Fatin find his way to Allah and the heavens for his sacrifice to the Militia.
That was the exact words said on the plack and Dabi looked away as the hint of a single tear left his cheek. Dabi to looked down and felt his own cheek, no tears but the sensation of one was there. He may never had lost anyone but he understood the pain going through his mind. For years he never knew of this yet when he found him again, it was not a reunion one would want to go through. He was reaching over to give him sympathy but Kiralexia stopped him.
"I don't need sympathy young Dabi I simply need to get this information to the world. The least they deserve alongside a burial."
"Alright then let's see if we can find a clue to another hideout here."
"Where would it even be here, this is nothing but rubble."
"Hey I found something. it's useless, it has a name on it!" Twice exclaimed waving a note of some kind in the air.
'Lucky' Kiralexia though to himself before getting up and walking over to Twice. When everyone was around Twice, Kiralexia took the note out of Dabi's hand and took a good look at it. It was a note that did have a name on it, as well as a picture of the person. 'Private Hera' was his name, yes I said HIS name. However that was more of a code name as under Hera was the REAL name 'Ethan' a strange name but there ARE stranger. Note didn't say much but the picture did show he was young but age was getting to him. He was possible in his 40's by the time the picture was taken, yet now god he could be in his 50's. That is IF he was even alive. Toga took a better look at the picture and suddenly understood.
"OH I remember him, we've been out to tea a few time."
"You never told us that why?"
"I didn't think he was in the Militia?" Toga said inquisitively to Kiralexia who was understandably miffed.
Kiralexia took the note and pocketed it away and said they should go and make a meeting with this man. Thus in the morning, Toga set up a tea time with 'work friends' at the tea cafe they go to with Ethan. As Ethan made it to the place in a nice suit and dapper hat, he smiled at Toga and shook her hand as he sat down for tea. He asked what was the reason for this meeting and then everyone else came in to great the old man. Kiralexia put his arm around the man's shoulder and smiled at him greeting him as if he were an old friend. The man looked perplexed at him and then recognized Dabi and Twice and immediately assumed this was a member of the League of Villains greeting him. He looked at Toga and gave a small smirk to her.
"Ya know if you wanted to have your friends here meet me. You could've let me know ahead of time."
"Sorry, I had to rush to get this ready. Besides we've all been busy as of recent."
"Understandable now tell me, what do you want to ask about?" The man asked sitting down and taking his tea cup into his hand. Kiralexia joined in suit and grabbed the tea kettle, before speaking.
"Now before we begin I'd like to clarify that I am not a member of the League I am simply having them aid me in a little mission of mine."
"Okay and what's the mission?"
"To uncover the secrets of the Anti-Hero Militia. Specifically there disappearance from the east."
'I know not what you are talking about."
"Don't bullshit us we saw a Document with you on it. You were a private in the Militia correct?" Dabi stepped in the question himself. The man became more nervous this time and looked away before speaking again.
"I've gotten old I can't remember what you mean."
"Ya right don't pull that on us, you're old not senile. Now answer the question or young Dabi here will show you what real flames of hell are."
"Fine, it's true I was a private of the Militia. However I got promotions and near the end became a Sargent Major. Yet when the war ended between All For One's Empire and the Militia, many soldiers were given a choice. Leave Japan never to return, or retire and stay out of sight."
"Why?"
"Because many members, the Elite core especially, now had targets on there back. If they wanted to live and see the fruits of there labor they had to leave and stay hidden from the public. Many soldiers I new as friends retired or left this island. I still miss them but at least they're alive that's all I care about."
"Cute story but not what we are looking for. we're trying to find artifacts and secret hideouts. Know of any?" Kiralexia asked slightly losing a bit of his acting style.
Hera's eyes then began to widen slightly. It should be noted that at this point Kiralexia and everyone else got a good look at the man. Gray hair forms around the edged of his hair, as well as his chin. Wrinkles around his eyes and cheeks. Above all else a fancy small hat on top of his head that was hard to ignore. As for what his response was to the earlier remark, well.
"If I am to be honest with you I'm not sure what you're doing is wise. To disturb the resting place of the dead, is to attract the unwanted spirits. Of course if you really want to go on with this then I shall only ask one thing. Why are you trying to persist in this information?"
"Everyone back where I live have been curious on the sudden abandonment of the Militia's Eastern holdings. Many theories were born but I want to find the truth not the myth." Kiralexia answered sipping his tea. Hera looked surprised but comforted by the answer and sighed.
"Alright I can't tell you much of these hidden locations, it'd be so dull to do it like that plus some even I don't know of. However to find more there is ONE base. I don't know it's name but it is close to here, and who knows maybe someone else is in there."
"That is great just show us where to go and-"
"Hold on a minute did you say 'someone else is in there'? What the hell do mean by that?"
"Ah well you see no EVERYONE from the Militia abandoned Japan mainly the Elites and large swaths of army regiments vanished. However many still remain on the island and beyond keeping certain hideouts and bases running and functional. Of course due to the mass evacuation and retirement of soldiers like me, no many of them exists at least not as many as there once were. Yet that's not a problem for them, machines of war exists afterall."
"Concerning to hear lad, but, it is hopeful news. Very well I guess we should be careful with this next hideout. So tell us where it is and we'll be on our way." Kiralexia said pointing to Hera.
He sighed and did eventually tell them where to go. Once that information was gathered and a quick tea brake was completed, they set off to the next destination. Yet unaware to them Hera would trick them for the next few days on this matter. You see Hera told them where to go to find someone who knew of the place not the location itself for he was never there himself. That is what he said, in reality he just wanted to fuck with them.
As the group made it to the destination, a corner of a non-busy roadway, they found someone who looked almost exactly like Hera. The only real difference is that he wore a baseball cap instead of a fancy hat. Kiralexia rose an eyebrow at this but thought nothing of it, must've been his brother instead of a friend. In fact he 'was' his name was Greg, yep. When Dabi asked where the place was however Greg told them to find his brother call John downtown. They sighed and did so. When they found him, once again looking almost identical to the last one but this time wearing a top hat. When Twice decided to ask where to go, he said he himself forgot but his brother might now near the docks.
You can see where this is going. Once they meet up with a different 'brother' they are lead to a new one. Each one looking almost identical to the last one, in fact they ALL LOOKED THE SAME! the only difference was there hats, one wore a monocle with an Irish cap, another wore a beanie, and then one just wore a cowboy hat. The other difference was the name obviously, Greg, John, but also, Jeff, Bob, Rick, Greg II. That last one made Kiralexia snicker just from the thought of it but also made him a little worried. When they met a man named billy-bob with a big brimmed hat, Kiralexia leaned next to Dabi and whispered into his ear.
"I had no idea you people loved each other like THAT."
"What?"
"Never go to southern US it is a mess down there."
"Hey I ain't from Texas!" Billy-bob said a bit miffed at that rude comment from Kiralexia. He looked at bob here and raised an eyebrow.
"Who said I was assuming your location of birth?" Kiralexia asked shrugging a bit as he did so.
Billy-bob was gonna say something BUT shut himself up before he could. Thus after that happened and many more days of a giant scavenger hunt, they all realized something. This was Hera fucking with them for trying to get information out of him. Why he decided to do that was impossible to tell and when Kiralexia decided that when they met someone names Joe he just went up to them and took off his hat to prove it. It then revealed a bonnet underneath which confused him since he took off a cap. He then took the bonnet off and saw an Irish cap. Rinse repeat till he took off the cowboy hat and revealed a 15 ft tall top hat. He looked up in a bit of awe and just looked back and a smiling Joe and asked him.
"What's the purpose of this hat?"
"Why not it's nice."
"How'd he even fit that under the cowboy hat?" Dabi asked looking up as well.
"Let's just say most of my day was spent putting it under this." Billy-bob said pointing at the hat.
Kiralexia sighed but took it even though it was ridiculous. He firmly believed NO ONE needed a hat that big unless for compensating for something else. That thought alone actually made him smirk a bit. However after THIS whole ordeal and after two to three days of a wild goose chase they finally had the right location to find this old hideout. It was in an abandoned building just smack dab in the middle of a punch of other abandoned buildings in the area of the city. That was convenient but now Kiralexia had to ask why it was abandoned. Dabi turned and said this
"One word, Nomu."
"Sightings? Or something else involving them?"
"Let's just say you wouldn't want to be here at night."
"These are older Nomu aren't they?"
"If you mean before the whole League of Villains thing, then yes. Some are from the old empire at least that's what I've heard."
"Noted, then let us get to the outpost before they arrive."Kiralexia said walking inside the decrepit building.
The building they walked through was broken and twisted. Holes in the roof that allowed the setting sun shine through, walls fallen over, and holes in the floor leaving Kiralexia and the others carefully walking around. They went through and found one spot that looked more intentional to what it was like, a giant boulder with rocks covering something. Kiralexia looked over at Dabi and he went to the boulder and broke it in two with ease. He then kicked the other half away and revealed, to no one's surprise, a hole that led to an entryway. They jumped down the hole and looked around, it was an entryway like the one from their first venture yet a little different. There was a wooden floor with metal walls, rust lined the walls and rotting planks of wood were a plenty. Kiralexia took a whiff of the air and it was damp and stiff to breath it in. If anyone lived here, it would be very hard to live in due to the lack of good air. As they walked down the corridor they found it was like a maze. It was at this moment that Dabi began to think that all Militia bases were mazes.
This wasn't entirely wrong, being a military organization independent from all nations, meant that if one nation tried to take your fort, you'd need it to be a maze. Yet not all were like that, a few were simple forts of a small building with defenses, others were like a fortress across the land. Many a long gone but many more people do know of some who go to these places to this day. Yet where they go and for how long, no one really knew. What was known was that the few that were like mazes, would never really fall to All For One. the simple fact was this, the maze like design of these forts would make taking it over almost impossible. Each room taken three more were reclaimed, nothing could be done.
That being said this area looked like hell broke lose. Little remained of what was once a might labyrinth of a fort, to now a ruined decrepit maze. Worse yet when they looked around, there weren't any bodies. That was concerning to them, afterall the other two had corpses why not this one? Then when they passed by a certain hallway someone laughed. Not from the group but from what sounded like inside the walls. As the group moved on becoming more and more uneasy. They finally found someone. They looked, small, hunched over by something and giving a strange smile away from the group. Yet he seemed oddly aware of them near him. This is to be said due to his sudden statement when Kiralexia tried to get closer.
"I wonder how your blood will look spilled on these walls?" he said with a twisted look to him.
Kiralexia backed away a little before noticing the real part of this person. Blood was dripping from there hands and mouth as they were hunched over a body of someone. He then looked over at him with his smile now wide and standing up tilting his head very crookedly. Kiralexia looked over at Dabi who just shrugged as he started his flames up. He looked back at the man a little worried but not to much. Before he could speak however, the man spoke out once again.
"I know who you guys are. you're villains, here to finish the job eh? Well I'll tell you this morons, your flesh will be severed tonight." The man said in a sadistic tone.
He snapped his fingers and a machine suddenly came out of nowhere. It was large and had two guns on it's arms, with a head small and compact, with a single visor on its face. The man smiled wickedly as the machine slowly rose from a crouching position and aimed it's guns at the group.
"I do wish you die quickly. I'd rather not see you suffer needlessly for foolish actions. Farewell." he said as the machine warmed it's guns up.
Yet before it could even fire Kiralexia snapped. Perhaps it was once again another threat to his daughter, or the fact that he was getting sick of all these psychos in his way. Whatever the case, he launched himself to the machine and forced his hand to it's face. The face caved in and fell to the ground effortlessly, as soon as it fell, Kiralexia turned to look at the man and snatched his neck lifting him off the ground. The man struggled for a moment before laughing at Kiralexia. Kiralexia took none of it and clenched tightly before loosening once more.
"Talk psycho, who are you and why are you here?"
"I am who you think I am, the last survivor of my company. Everyone died but me, I am all that's left. I have kept this place secure of villains and Nomu's for the fallen."
"You clearly aren't alone you have machines here."
"I am the last human my mind snapped long ago. Like yours did, Proto 12." The man said with a smile on his face.
Kiralexia thought on that for a moment and some of what he said made a bit of sense. Yet to be the ONLY human left well, that's absurd. Kiralexia knew this base well, he looked it over many times, and he noted that the place was packed with soldiers young and old, experienced and newbies, and as stated before, Machines and humans. This place was well defended even before the war due to it's location back then. It was near a place All For One deemed, useful to the growth of his empire. Even before the war, the place had a reputation for being the place of veterans and true heroes. For All For One to wipe out EVERYONE yet leave the machines and only one to survive? Something wasn't adding up, All For One would never risk THAT many souls for ONE stupid base. Kiralexia let the man drop to the floor gently before leaning down and asking in a stern voice.
"Show me the remains of your squad and don't. Call me. Proto 12."
"Of course whatever you wish I shall show you me squad." The Man said with a small laughter before getting up.
He brushed himself off and walked down the hall, beckoning the others to follow. They did yet with caution of course. Kiralexia was in front and Dabi was stunned near the back. He just heard that insane man call Gregor Proto 12. not only that, but it seemed Gregor just went ape shit and lost who he was there. To him this wasn't making sense, who really was Gregor, he thought to himself. Yet before he could even ask more questions rose when they entered the place of interest.
It was a large room filled with dirt and an open ceiling. That was weird enough but to make things weirder, the whole room was filled with tombstones. Some basic tombstones, others stone like slabs, a few crosses, and a few others unique. As the group walked around to get a better look they noticed the dates. All died the same day the same year, this was there finest hour. The names of them where different, many English, many Japanese names, and a few from the middle east. This really was a diverse organization, when even companies had a diverse range of ethnicity. Of course that could not be said for all but enough of them to get a good impression. Kiralexia never knew these soldiers personally but had heard of there skills and knew they were in the right place. Out of everyone though he knew one as a good member, the captain.
As he looked around the room he found one tombstone unlike the others. This one had a statue on it of a soldier fighting a Nomu. His left hand was holding the Nomu's face back while his right was holding a dagger. He was in a falling position and his face was that of still screaming. He looked down at the metal plack and saw the name. 'Captain Telizor, Leader of the 56th battle company. Fending the monsters away from his unit so they may fight another day.'. that last line struck a cord in Kiralexia. Telizor was an interesting man but one who knew both his place, and his strength. He understood what to do and how to bring himself into the mix instead of wasting man power. Kiralexia shed no tear but did feel remorse for losing a good leader. The last survivor then walked up behind him and began to speak.
"It was sudden, we were prepared but the just kept coming. It took me awhile to make this for the fallen."
"May there souls reach whatever afterlife they believed in." Kiralexia retorted saluting the statue in honor.
It was at that moment that Dabi decided he had enough waiting. He walked up right behind Kiralexia and grabbed his shoulder. He forced him to turn around and face him and placed a fire next to his face. His eyes gleamed in the blue flame light and where hardened at him.
"Okay start talking, who really are you Gregor? If that's even your real name." Dabi said ticked off at Kiralexia.
Kiralexia made no real reaction to him only breathing heavily. He grabbed his arm and took it off of his shoulder. He then walked off a bit turning away from Dabi. He had to think about what to say next, to much information could lead to disaster on his end. Then an idea came and he decided it was long enough, time to tell them part of the truth.
"Very well, I am no historian and my name is not Gregor. I was a member of the Militia, an elite really, my name is unimportant as of now. What you should know is that my old name was Proto 12, THAT is what you will call me for now. If I trust you and Twice more, I may tell you my real name and purpose in the Militia. Till then, patience is key Dabi." Kiralexia answered Dabi his own eyes glowing faintly back at the hot headed villain.
Dabi looked a bit nervous at that answer and look. The way he took out that machine and his eyes glowing at him, it spoke of something. He was no ordinary human, the metal on his body was not natural. Perhaps instead of robotic limbs as replacement, he may very well be a robot. One of the most advanced ones he had seen mind you, which scared him a bit. However he would not show it and simply scoffed slightly before another question came to him.
"Then what about Toga? How do you know of her?"
"You are perceptive well, I am what you could call a step-father to her. I like the term father instead of that though. Found her on the streets and tried to raise her as my own, never lasted after my fall. I've been trying to mend that wound nowadays but I feel I may never fully heal it." Kiralexia said near tears.
Dabi was speechless. He didn't realize that THIS would've been a possibility however it did make sense. Toga and Kiralexia seemed to be comfortable with each other far more than normal and the way he acted around her. It was like a proud father watching over there daughter. Dabi sighed and realized the implications that could have if Shigaraki found out about that. He knew the Militia fought All For One's empire and believed Toga would be in, danger if that where revealed. So with a sigh and no other noise coming from Kiralexia, he told him something that made him less nervous.
"I will not tell Shigaraki of this information. it's not for you, it's simply because I'd rather NOT see Toga hurt for your stupid actions."
"Fair enough Dabi, thank you though. Now then as for YOU." Kiralexia said pointing at the last survivor who just stood and watch this happen. "Mind telling us your name and how you survived?"
"My name, simply call me final Survivor since I am the last survivor of my company. As for how, well rubble, and a good fucking knife to the head of THOSE MONSTERS!" The man said pointing at the statue of his leader and the Nomu he faced. Kiralexia understood that and nodded.
"Fair enough, so you've killed Nomu's?"
"Why not, those things are abominations to science and mankind."
"True that sir, now then mind giving us SOMETHING to lead us somewhere else?" Kiralexia asked waving his arms outwards.
At that moment the survivor moved to another room and came out with a document. He told them that this may not tell them where to go BUT it will give clues to other members of the Militia. The document itself was just a file of weapons with like two on people. This time however one name did pop up that was familiar to Kiralexia 'Elite Core Unit A'. it was faded but still visible. Kiralexia said it was a group most well known in and out of the Militia. Dabi accepted that and said they'll try to find something on them.
Kiralexia smirked but knew it impossible. The whole of the elite core in the Militia vanished after the war and no clues left behind. As far as he was aware all of them were gone and nothing remained. However hope was still strong and he knew he would find them again. He thanked Dabi and the survivore before leaving the base and saying farewell to the League members and calling it a night.
At that nothing else would really come up with the whole Militia stuff for a while. It would make sense, trying to find another spot would be incredibly hard or near to the impossible. So instead Kiralexia would hang out with Toga to once again connect with her. That brings me to my next tale or explanation, the relationship between Toga, Eri, and Kiralexia. The three of them had only been getting closer every time they hung out. Kiralexia and Toga where becoming more father daughter like, with Kiralexia being encouraging to her love, to some extent, and her being happy of Kiralexia's sudden change in mood. Eri was just a nice bonus that tagged alongside them, secretly telling information to Aizawa and the others in exchange for some candy.
Toga and Kiralexia are none the wiser of this exchange Eri has. All they really knew was that Eri sometimes came over with a candy bar out of nowhere. It was weird but they didn't think much of it. Instead playing games, talking, and just enjoying the others company throughout the days. One day however Toga gave the idea to break Kiralexia out and he be a sudo member of the League. THIS caught Eri's attention alongside Kiralexia of course. He did hate the idea FULLY yet he knew that it was hopeless. He denied it and said that it was to much to risk. Not to mention he couldn't stand being around Shigaraki considering who his master is.
Toga was reluctant of that and kept pressing the idea. This made Kiralexia upset and he yelled at her saying he couldn't be able to live with himself if she died in the attempt. This was enough to silence Toga for a minute before she came back and said she wished he wasn't a prisoner to the heroes. Kiralexia said it had it's perks but admitted he wish he didn't have to have them constantly watching him whenever he left. After that Eri told Aizawa and he was a bit tipped off at that. The idea of the villains breaking Kiralexia out of there reach? It was absurd, stupid even but he understood where Kiralexia was coming from. He said that he would make plans on what he would do next and told Eri to keep listening and telling them anything new. Eri agreed and left that day fulfilled with herself.
Of course not EVERYDAY was like this. Two days after that Kiralexia and Toga went to a Shinto Shrine with Eri and Ashido coming with to watch over Eri. Kiralexia and Toga both payed respects to the temple and Kiralexia muttered to himself 'may I be reunited with my friends and family.' while Toga wished for Deku's love. After that Kiralexia walked for a bit before finding a good spot under a tree and stone. He sat down and began to meditate, telling Toga to not disturb him from this concentration. Toga huffed but agreed and decided to talk with Ashido. She was nervous obviously but did lighten up when Toga showed no signs of aggression to her. As they talked they looked at Kiralexia who looked almost like a statue with how steady his breathing was, and with how still he was sitting. Before Ashido could answer if he ran out of battery, his eyes shot open and he looked to the sky. Toga asked what he saw while meditating.
"Nothing but bliss and perhaps the faint image of Benzaiten. A little odd but I will not complain, beats seeing the death Kami."
"Then you are destined for finding love my friend." A voice said old yet wise.
Kiralexia turned around and found the Shinto priest in traditional robes smiling at them. Kiralexia was relieved though a bit unsettled by his appearance. Not the way he looks just the fact that he came out of nowhere. However he did fine what the man said nice, perhaps seeing Benzaiten was a sign of finding Rose Dawn once more. However that was not what he would say instead greeting the priest and asked where he came from.
"Well I was enjoying the nature of life and heard those young girls there talking."
"Ah that makes sense. I don't believe we were disrupting you where we?"
"Oh no I don't get many visitors which is fine. Most people want to see heroes over connecting to the Kami."
"Well, Heroes are real Kami aren't."
"Yet you exist as god don't you?" The priest asked suddenly.
Kiralexia didn't know what to make of that. I mean it didn't make a lot of sense to begin with. This priest barely even knew Kiralexia how could he even believe him divine? Better yet what did he believe as divine in the first place? Kiralexia stood up and eyed the priest down before asking him.
"And what do you know of the divine and gods?"
"We live in strange times don't we my dear friend? The world is filled with people with strong quirks, some many could consider, divine."
"Then why assume I am one?"
"You just look like you're strong." The Priest said looking over Kiralexia.
Kiralexia nodded and accepted it however he did show signs of mourning. Perhaps the statement to HIM wasn't fully true. Afterall, he never got the chance to kill All For One proper and thus isn't all that strong. Though maybe it's also the fact that he himself never thought himself divine, either way he didn't seemed all to thrilled at it. Once the Priest left Kiralexia decided he had enough time there and all of them went home for the day.
Now then as for the whole Mineta thing, it has been improving a bit more then Kiralexia expected. Mineta wasn't being nearly as creepy and yesterday gave a NICE compliment to Yaoyorozu. It was a simple 'I like your hair looks nice.' but enough for everyone to just stare at him. All of them expected him to comment on her boobs or even her ass but not her hair, and not like that. Kiralexia simple muttered 'goddammit he's now reaching his mother's levels. I dunno if that's good or bad in situation?'. Honestly you can't blame him he uh, didn't fully like his mother, respected her somewhat but her perversion to be WAY over the top. Jirou who was sitting next to him simple said 'considering how the two are I'd say a bit of both.' which made Kiralexia snicker.
At that compliment Kiralexia knew what that meant for him. It meant move on to the next phase of his training and he DID NOT like that idea. Alright here's an explanation as to WHY he didn't like that. So his first phase you all already know of, make sure he's able to actually able to make a good compliment onto a woman AND be able to handle himself against villains. The first part was already done and now the second part had been completed by Mineta capturing Kiralexia (who portrayed the villain) and feeling proud of himself. The second phase, was to see if he could both have a conversation with a woman and see if they'll date him. THAT was something he did NOT want to do because of the shear idea of a woman actually liking Mineta that much scared him. However to see if he could actually be like his mother, who could do that, he had to subject himself to that torture.
He barely lasted a minute with that requirement since most of it he just shot in the ass. Kiralexia was unphased and just said we will try again with more experience. Yet right after saying that a woman walked up to ask Mineta to sit by her for lunch, Kiralexia was shocked at that but said to Mineta to use this as practice. Thus Mineta did and somehow found himself a friend that was a girl. Kiralexia asked this woman WHY she did that to which she responded, 'I just wanted to see if he had gotten better. Turns out I was right. Who knows maybe we will.'. Kiralexia was just frozen at that last statement but recovered and retreated to his room for the rest of the day then.
Not much came from that right, well it gets worse for Kiralexia. As he awoke the next day Mineta decided to wake him by just slapping his face and he immediately shot up awake and alive. He looked over and asked VERY bitterly, why the hell Mineta did that? Mineta then told him to come downstairs and he did to find a new girl standing at the entryway. She was small but taller than Mineta for sure, long black hair that had some waves in it and a fairly nice body. Kiralexia looked down at Mineta clearly debating how to kill the fucker. He asked him as kindly as he could in that instance, why the hell he was showing off this lady to him? Mineta then said the fateful words that stain his mind 'she and I are going on a date now.'
Kiralexia was flabbergasted at that statement a woman dating MINETA!? That sounds like a fever dream to Kiralexia. He the exclaimed 'WHAT HOW!?' to which the lady, who was called Aiko, said 'I'm a pervert to, not as much as him but enough.' Kiralexia simply nodded and said that that was fair but did ask how the hell she knew of Mineta? She said she was friends with Hide and she told him of the different everything Mineta was. She congratulated Kiralexia for his skills and said that she was intrigued at first but didn't feel like he met good enough standards. Again that was fair considering how he was and still kinda is, never fully got rid of the whole inappropriate attitude to women but at least he was making nice compliments. Kiralexia was defeated at this and said to not take to long for he had to still train Mineta later, which was true actually training never ended for Mineta. She agreed and the two went off to, somewhere, somewhere Kiralexia did NOT want to know.
Now it should be known that this was REALLY early in the day and November was almost over at this point meaning it was still dark out, for the most part. Due to that most people in the dorms were still asleep except for Ilda and Midoriya, the early birds, both in the kitchen and overheard everything. Kiralexia looked back and them and just kinda shrugged at them from that moment.
"Did I hear that right or am I still half asleep?"
"Oh it was correct, the little shit has a date, possibly girlfriend. I'll have to ask later." Kiralexia said sighing pretty heavily messaging his shoulder with his right arm.
As the day went on and Kiralexia went to the main building to work on something with Mei Hatsume he caught the glimpse of the two perverted lovers peaking into the girls locker room. Kiralexia shrugged and thought 'well at least she was right about one thing.' and went on. Minutes later the two are thrown into the workshop my Aizawa and he said that the two went a bit to far on "peaking" into the locker room. Kiralexia groaned and asked what the hell they did, which was so stupid he literally just slammed his head into the workshop desk causing a giant dent to form on it. After that he looked at the two and asked if they had any brain cells left in there heads? As for what they did well, they tried sneaking in and stealing the panties of the girls what do you expect. After the scolding and Kiralexia moved them outside for a bit of advice on how to get such things, cause if they were gonna do it at least do it more sneakily, a little weird but not as bad as his next thing, moving them to a large area of basically garbage and were told they had the school day to clean ALL OF IT.
When he returned the two where nowhere in sight BUT the place was cleaned. As he went searching he found the two under a tree huddled together. Kiralexia being a bit miffed off at the sight pulled both off each other and they both giggled like crazy. When they finally made it back to the dorms, everyone was there and asked what the hell happened to have Mineta be with a GIRL!?
"She's as much of a pervert as he is. I didn't think this was possible am I in real life? Is, is this a dream?" Kiralexia asked looking completely out of it.
At that instance some random person just pinched him on the arm causing him to wince quickly before turning over and finding an old looking man smiling back at him. Clearly he wasn't dreaming but he did question why the FUCK this random person just pinched him?
"What the hell was that for? You the new intern or something? Go bother Aizawa I don't just stay away from me." Kiralexia stated waving off in a general direction away from himself.
The man with no words did so and left. After that whole ordeal I believe it's about time we talk about Mei Hatsume and Kiralexia themselves. The two recently began working on a little project together. You see after retrieving some parts and blue prints from a Militia base on his own, he showed them to Hatsume who immediately began to work on them. What she was working on, well that's a secret best revealed for another time. However they both have been VERY vigilant in both working on the frame, wires and overall structure of the thing and as well as making sure it has not been revealed yet, that it was both admirable by others and also a bit concerning. Considering the fact that they refused almost ANYONE to even see it, made many suspicious of just what the hell they were doing.
For any curious both within this universe and out of it Kiralexia himself said that they'd reveal it within a week or so, the time frame he suggested it would be completed. The only other person who has seen this thing was Midoriya coming to give Kiralexia water bottle, and noted it appearance. Round and not to big, in fact it was rather compact, however there was also another that looked more disc like. The disk thing did not become much more however the round thing had a strange visor like thing on it and wires were outside of the bottom half of it. After seeing it Midoriya had to ask himself, leaving Kiralexia to respond with, 'the start of something grand.'. it wasn't much but Midoriya knew when to back off and thus decided to leave it be, for now.
As for the whole Midoriya secretly finding more out of Kiralexia thing, ya that fell apart quickly a while ago. The only reason why is because he already reveals enough of himself on his own accords so that whole secret thing began to look foolish and thus was dropped. However Kiralexia himself does still have a bit of plan in the works. Even when working on the little project with Mei, he has a sort of longing expression on his face. Many comment on how he seems lost or even desiring something. Aizawa even caught him at a police station searching through files on, Militia members. At first he was pissed at Kiralexia basically the law, he snuck in at night and was practically making a breaking and entering, however he quickly grew confused. As far as many heroes are aware of, the Police only know very little on the Militia. Only key members and even army group names. Yet, some of the files found, while old and clearly untouched for a while, show that they knew FAR more than what was assumed. They knew of hideouts, of organization of there military, there crimes, even the elites members and the leader.
It should be said that almost everyone Kiralexia talks to, knows damn near NOTHING about the leader of the Militia. The only thing known was his title of 'Seniori Militant' Kiralexia never said anything else about him. Only clues about who he was, harsh, strict, stern as hell, yet also compassionate, trusting, and one hell of a laugh. Yet the file on him showed SO much more than that. It showed he was a founder, and the title was simply something given to all members who were considered 'First generation' in fact his main title besides that was 'Conditor Seniori of the Militia' CSM for short. It was noted that most people just referred to him as Conditor instead of the full one for simplicity. Kiralexia felt a bit of hatred that all of this was kept from him and the heroes for god knows how long. Aizawa couldn't help but agree, yet he did ask why the kept it from them?
That would remain unanswered yet fear not, this chapter is nearing a close and more interesting matters will happen shortly. Before closing it should be noted that even the title is considered a bit unknown if it where true, or a lie. Seniori Militant was true but the rest hard to say. Yet as days went on and winter took on FULL effect, Kiralexia would plan a very special meeting with Toga. In this one he would make a very bold statement of planning on leaving UA. The only reason is that he's tired of being treated like some sort of slave. Toga was filled with glee at that statement however Eri, who was listening in was very concerned with that. A few weeks ago he shot the idea down and now here he was making plans on just up and leaving. She would go ahead and inform Aizawa and the other staff members of this and they were not happy. They thanked her and made there own plans for that day. However whatever happened on that day, will do far more damage than any good in this world combined. For now Kiralexia rested as he awaited for Toga to come and talk with her. By tomorrows sunrise, things would begin to escalate really, really high.
Author's note: Hey I'm not dead but goddamn I feel like it, again terribly sorry for the long ass wait for this chapter but I was busy with a lot of fucking shit. with a god awful first semester at my fucking college to work giving me a lot of hell (Though not as bad as my fucking school) i've been on one hell of an emotional rollercoaster. however with this and the semester almost over (THANK CHRIST) I will try to make at least another chapter before the end of the year. not sure how well THAT will workout but I'll try but make not promises. overall I do hope people like this chapter, even if it IS disconjointed, the next I PROMISE will not be as bad. have a wonderful day people, and enjoy what can be written.
