Well…fuck myself. Guess I will be going up against Bakugou, a fight I wasn't actually expecting but one I had an advantage in. Bakugou may be powerful but he's always angry, like a chihuahua or a Pomeranian, I would have to use that to my advantage, or better yet use my gadgets to their fullest.
As I was mediating Midoriya ran in and said, "Jango I have a way for you to beat Kacchan!"
I looked back at him and watched as he pulled out his notebook and handed it to me.
"what is this?" I said flipping through the pages.
"a special book detailing the exact way you can beat him, I tailor made it taking in your fighting style and Bladromancy quirk" Midoriya chuckled.
Reading through the plan I could see Midoriya really did tailor made this for me, I mean stabbing Kacchan in his hands so he couldn't use his explosions, using the Will Of Leonidas to take him down, hell he even factored in using the shield of Helios to cover him and just skewer him like a pig while he's stuck in it!
"Midoriya I have only one thing to say about all these plans" I said while closing the book.
Midoriya tilted his head and said, "what?"
"you are by far the most fucked up kid I have ever met, and given my background that's sayin something, though I appreciate this, I really do and will take some of theses plans into consideration, however I have my way of beating him" I chuckled.
Gabby walked in and said, "does it involve gouging his eyes out"
I started to sweat and said, "n-no no it doesn't…"
Uraraka then chimed in and said, "what about slicing his arms clean off and shoving it up his ass?"
I laughed and said, "maybe"
Midoriya sighed and said, "yours gonna pin him to the ground and womanize him the same way you did to Monoma aren't you"
I ginned and said, "oh you bet your ass I am!"
We all shared a laugh before finally it was my time to go up and put down the angry Pomeranian.
Mina then ran up to me and said, "Jango before you go out there" before giving me a kiss on the cheek.
I blushed a bit and said, "I'll return that soon when I win" and headed out.
As I entered the arena, Mic shouted, "All right all you Crazy sports fans we have quite the wild fight, clam and calculating versus angry and murderous, I give you the spartan you've watched since the beginning of the game Jango Arkino versus the Angry Pomeranian Katsuki Bakugou!"
Bakugou then shouted, "The fuck you just call me you leather wearing piece of shit!"
Mic then shouted, "Begin" and I took this opportunity to pull out the Will of Leonidas and fire a tranquilizer dart right into his neck.
Bakugou dodged it and charged at me shouting, "Your dead edge lord!".
Guess I had no option but to face him head on, though unlike my previous battles this time I was out for blood. Holstering the will of Leonidas, I made two Kukri knives and rushed in to meet him. With a quick movement I slashed upward with my left hand leaving a nasty scar on his cheek forcing him to back off. If I stood any chance, I would have to get close, but that could prove to be my undoing I needed to think about this carefully.
Bakugou wiped away the blood from his cheek and said, "your dead edge lord!" before firing another round at me. I smashed the ground to create a bunch of blades and fired it at him to disorient him it worked because he was so focused on the blades he didn't notice me flanking him till I had thrown a dagger right into his feet. Bakugou let out a furious howl of pain and tried to tear them out while aiming explosions at me in a hopes of keeping me away long enough to pry the daggers out of his feet, but to no avail, the barbs on the daggers were to embedded for him to pull them out without serious injury.
"your mine now you blonde bastard!" I growled as I kicked in his knees in and held him in a headlock ready to snap his neck.
"concede this fight Katsuki and I won't kill you" I said in a monotone voice.
Bakugou then shouted, "stun grenade!" and tried to fire a blast at me.
I calmly countered this by materializing a knife in my hand and stabbing it through his hand and pinning it to the ground.
"I said stand down!" I shouted before kicking his head repeatedly.
Bakugou then looked at me with a wild and crazed expression and said, "you will die!" and tore the knife out of his feet and started charging at me.
This caught me off guard a bit allowing Bakugou to land a well-placed hit on me. As I rolled to the floor I clawed up more of the ground before finally getting up and realizing he had dislocated my jaw.
"whats wrong edge lord got nothing to say?" Bakugou cackled while charging at me.
I took a deep breath, relocated my jaw and summoned a sword right in front of him, leaving a deep cut in his foot.
Bakugou then closed in and hit me straight in the gut with an explosion, right where I had some stiches left over from my surgery within the legion. The sheer pain I felt was enough to cause a burning sensation to fill my entire body, and cause me to cough up blood. Bakugou followed up with a series of explosions and even ripping off my left arm and beating me with it while I was dazed. Once Bakugou had finished I just fell down.
Midnight was about to say this match was over but….something in me changed, the sight of my own blood filled me with the terror from my time in the Legion, the interrogations I went through, the pain of having my appendix removed without anesthetics, the bone saw to my arms and legs, yet…I was afraid in fact I wanted to feel more pain I was craving it, like an addiction I couldn't break, but it wasn't my pain I wanted more of only, I wanted to see Bakugou go through the same amount of pain.
I cackled evilly as I got up and reattached my arm.
With a cackle I said, "god its been so long since I've felt this leave of pain!" before turning to Bakugou.
"well then let me add some more!" Bakugou laughed before firing off a huge blast at me.
I didn't even dodge I just took the entire blast, and thought of something devious. If blood has oxygen in it, then what kind of weapons could I make with my own blood! With cackle I stabbed myself and used my own blood to form a katana.
"oh this, this is going to be fun!" I cackled before charging at Bakugou.
I tried to slice of his arm but he dodged, however he left his knee exposed and I stabbed my katana straight through it and went into a hysterical rage, creating weapons to beat Bakugou with. The fight was almost unsettling, I had managed to pin bakugou after some hand to hand combat and grabbed his arm.
"hehehehehe lets make this hurt!" I cackled before breaking one of Bakugou's fingers.
Bakugou let out a cry of pain and shouted, "you sociopath I'll kill you!"
I grinned and said, "now your just being nasty, and that costed you an arm!" before dislocating it.
Bakugou managed to get out and fire off a big explosion at me but I simply took the brunt of it and charged at him conjuring up a rather jagged looking sword and slashing him across the chest. There was loads of blood and I could tell Cementoss was trying to stop the fight but something was stopping him from intervening like an invisible barrier. I kept battling and beating the crap out of Bakugou before finally burning him up with my flamethrowers.
I cackled evilly and started to walk away till Bakugou STILL ON FIRE charged at me and started to grapple with me.
"I wont let some two-bit Greek bastard be better than me!" Bakugou shouted while trying to punch me.
I let out a growl and started to claw at his face and stab a dagger deep into his knee hoping to deal some more damage but the bastard was LITERALLY TOO ANGRY TO FEEL THE FUCKING PAIN!
"JUST DIE ALREADY" I GROWLED AS WE GRAPPLED.
Bakugou then managed to break my right arm off and started to try and beat me with it. In response I forcibly shoved my flamethrower into his mouth and intended to burn him alive, but he broke the nozzle and even manage to force me out of bounds.
Midnight then shouted, "Jango Arkino is out of bounds, which means Katsuki Bakugou is the win- no, no, NO,NO ,NO, NO it can't be, all heroes do whatever you can to take him down before he kills us all!"
I looked up to see what everyone was afraid of and when I saw it…I understood why they were afraid and trying to get close to him. At the very top of the stadium stood a man in black armor similar to that of Abdul's but this was….well it was different, with ragged bits of black cloth all around it as if it was once a cloak that time and conflict had withered away. The man's face was hidden behind a white skull mask with piercing blue eyes.
The man simply pointed at me with a sharpened finger and said, "we will meet you very soon Arkino" and vanished into smoke.
Who was this man… perhaps Abdul had more information.
Midnight calmed down a bit and said, "the villain…no the leader of the assassins is gone…the Sports festival can continue into the final round!"
The crowd was still rather spooked, hell I even looked up at All Might and could see a look of fear in his eyes I have never seen, even Endeavor looked pale, as if someone had stolen his soul. This man…if Midnight identified him correctly that man was a Hassan I Sabbah the King of the Assassins. I had no time to think about it though as I immediately passed out from the wounds I sustained.
When I woke up I noticed All Might, Aizawa, Midnight and Sir Nighteye were looking down at me.
"what happened?" I asked curiously.
All Might sighed and said, "I just had to save your ass again, by making up a lie as to why the hell you fought like a rabid animal, now can you explain to me why the hell you gravly injured young Bakugou because right now he is recovering but if recovery girl didn't get to him when she did, he would have died!"
Before I could even explain Athena used my eye piece and materialized herself as a hologram and said, "you can blame the Dark Legion for that, 9292 may not have realized it but the food he ate while in the Legion was drugged, with all kinds of pills meant to make him hysterical and crazy during fights when he's losing…there way of making him even deadlier should he start loosing or feeling vast amounts of pain, not only that but the brainwashing 9292 went through has also added in certain triggers for this hysterical rage, such as the vast amounts of pain Bakugou inflicted"
Midnight looked horrified and said, "so that's why Tartarus is made the way it is…"
Athena nodded and said, "like the mythological prison, Tartarus helps restrain the madness that is Jango's bloodlust and hysterical carnage"
Sir Nighteye pushed up his glasses ignoring All Might and said, "damn it…I should have seen this coming, when Jango told me and Nezu all about his past I should have figured they would have done this level of brainwashing"
I chuckled and said, "so…what did I miss?"
All Might sighed and said, "not much…Present Mic is trying to calm down the other heroes, after HE showed up and you fainted everyone went into a panic"
I struggled to get up and said, "was that…the King of the assassins…the true Hassan I Sabbah?"
All Might nodded and said, "the man responsible for my curse…I might have fought HIM and got my stomach destroyed and nearly died, but my battle against the King Hassan is the real reason I can barely keep my transformations going, and why my true enemy is disfigured"
I shuttered and said, "why do other heroes fear him so much?"
Midnight looked away and said, "His Quirk…is like One For All, it can be passed down through the generations, however he is the only person ever to have three natural quirks, his stockpile quirk, a quirk that creates a battlefield called the dark cathedral, and a shadow quirk that allows him to fade into shadows like a true assassin…"
Aizawa then said, "there have been 19 other people to take on the name Hassan I Sabbah and each of them have always has this power, something the Hassan's call a Zabaniya, and if the king is here…I think that means you may be targeted as the 20th wielder"
"so, what your telling me is I could become a leader of an assassin guild and never become a hero?" I said curiously
Aizawa nodded and said, "It has happened only a couple times in UA's history but…one of the Hassans have selected a student of great promise to become a Hassan…and that student drops out and becomes the leader so I am not sure what will happen to you"
i-i didn't want this, I didn't want to leave UA I wanted to become a hero not some rotten assassin.
"so, what, your kicking me out just because some old geezer in armor pointed at me and said we will meet again?!" I growled.
Aizawa sighed and said, "look…if you do end up becoming the Hassan having you as a student may pose a risk to the other students"
I got up still in pain and said, "like hell I would kill a student! Aizawa please don't tell me you are actually considering kicking me out just because of this!"
All Might put his hand on my shoulder and said, "Principal Nezu hasn't said anything about kicking you out, all Aizawa is trying to get at is that you will be under watch at all times, Gabby and Mina will be with you 24/7 to make sure you don't do anything suspicious"
I sarcastically said, "like what plan an all-out assault on UA! This is bullshit you can't judge what I will do based off of just that one little thing!"
All Might punched a wall in anger before he looked me dead in the eye and said, "you will be monitored 24/7 by them or you will be immediately kicked out of UA and sent to the Tartarus prison, do I make myself clear Jango!"
I growled and said, "fine, I should mention…I took up an assassin contract on the Hero killer, Stain…"
Midnight nodded and said, "in that case we will assign Ryukyu and Best Jeanist as your guardians during the mission, when you go out please let Jeanist and Ryukyu know and they will follow you, and lend you aid if needed"
I nodded my head and said, "I'll let them know"
All Might chuckled and said, "first the Hassan of the cursed arm wants to talk to you and now the King Hassan actually showing up to confirm that you guys will meet again…I'd say you really must have caught their eye for this to happen, who knows…this may be a good thing"
Nighteye left immediately and Midnight said, "or it could be a disaster if Jango is recruited and follows their creed to the letter…"
All Might nodded and said, "follow me then, it is time for the awards assembly, unfortunately…you have to wear the harness…"
"wait you mean" I started to say.
Suddenly I was strapped to a slab of concrete and chained and muzzled.
Midnight sighed and said, "sorry about this Arkino"
I rolled my eyes and was rolled out for the awards ceremony. I looked up at first place and saw Bakugou, acting like the rabid Pomeranian that he was. I wasn't as hyped as I should have been, the fact that, even after I proved I was a hero by aiding All Might against the Nomu attack on the USJ, I was still untrustworthy and was forced to be watched by my own friends like I was a traitor was…well it was just humiliating. I was however thankful that Bakugou was healed from the wounds I caused.
Midnight got up in front of everyone and shouted, "the first years have completed all of the events for the UA sports festival, now its time to relax and enjoy the awards ceremony"
Fireworks and confetti was thrown everywhere as everyone cheered and celebrated, well everyone minus Bakugou who was going apeshit like a feral animal. I looked around and couldn't see Iida, did he figure out that Stain had gone after Iida and is going to check up on him.
Midnight then chuckled and said, "Now, Let's break out the hardware, of course, there's only one person worthy of distributing the awards!"
All Might then appeared at the top of the arena laughing with his theme blaring in the background.
"Citizens I am here with the medals!" All Might shouted.
Midnight talked over him saying, "the number one hero!"
When All Might landed he looked pissed at Midnight who ruined his landing.
Midnight then said, "so now that you're here All Might, why don't you start the presentation?"
All Might took a medal and went up to me saying, "Young Arkino, though you went berserk in the final portion of your battle with young Bakugou you showed true mettle that hundreds of heroes worldwide can learn from, don't let anyone tell you that you can't be a hero"
I chuckled and said, "funny you guys were saying something different to me earlier"
All Might sighed and put the bronze metal on me whispering, "we'll go to the location the Hassan of the cursed arm told us to meet him right after the sport festival be ready"
I nodded my head and he left to give Todoroki and Bakugou their medals. It was actually entertaining watch All Might try to put the medal on Bakugou and I could see a form of fear in his eyes. Once the award ceremony I headed over to the changing room and then the lockers to get my things together.
As I did Gabby and Mina ran over to me.
Gabby looked at me rather concerned and said, "Jango, Aizawa just told us me and Mina will be spending more time away from our families and staying with you at Olympus to make sure you don't do anything dangerous"
Mina looked at me concerned and said, "Jango….whats going on?"
I sighed and said, "I'll explain everything once I get back to Olympus, I've already informed Athena to let you in and…and explain what I truly am to you two"
Mina looked confused and said, "what does that mean?"
With a humiliated expression I said, "Athena will tell you" before walking away to the Blade Mobile.
As soon as I made it to the Blademobile I noticed All Might was already leaning up against it.
"I see you replaced the car…I'm actually digging this new one Jango, the simple teal metallic paintjob is a nice color" All Might chuckled.
I softly chuckled and opened the car's luggage compartment and stored away a couple things before opening up the car.
"hot damn Jango, driving in luxury!" All Might said surprisingly before taking a seat.
All Might then looked around and said, "ummm where are the drivers?"
I shook my head and said, "the car is fully autonomous no need for a driver, after all it is a Rolls Royce" before sitting down next to him.
"so where to?" Athena asked as she took control of the car.
I looked at All Might who said, "Gunkanjima".
I looked at him and said, "the abandoned island?"
All Might nodded and I said, "take us as far as you can Athena, and radio Atlantis to send us a speed boat to get there"
Athena nodded and we sped off to the docks where a speed boat was waiting for us.
All Might looked at me and said, "so Jango, what do you know about the Hassan I sabbah?"
As I piloted the speed boat I said, "not much, only that the Hassan of Serenity mastered Weapon materialization via the air, and that there are others far more deadly, also apparently there was a war between assassins and heroes in the early days of Quirks but no one ever talks about it anymore, they only talk about how the King Hassan, the first Hassan I sabbah was feared and killed heroes, what about you?"
All Might sighed and said, "I know more, considering I am the symbol of peace I know enough about the Hassans to know they are not people to be trifled with, their quirks are unlike anything else, unique beyond unique, such as the Hassan of Serenity's quirk toxic skin, or Hassan of the cursed arm's quirk Delusional Heartbeat, they are however noble and respectable, the other heroes have never seen it but I have…they may seem cruel but they only wish for peace and are not willing to kill anyone unless they threaten balance"
"so if Tomura Shigaraki created enough chaos they'd beat his ass up?" I asked curiously.
All Might nodded and said, "the only reason I was as hard as I was on you was only to protect you, the other teachers wanted to send you to Tartarus, but Nezu, Aizawa, Nighteye, Ryukyu, Jeanist and myself knew exactly what this may be about so we argued with the police and Hero Association to have you monitored instead"
I smiled and said, "well…you guys just made my day a bit better, at least I know you guys trust me"
All Might laughed and said, "your Dageshi's son and even though you were brainwashed I can tell there is not a single evil bone in your body"
I smiled and saw the outline of the island, and the broken-down city on top of it.
"we're here" I said as I docked the speed boat and pulled out Tartarus.
All Might said, "leave it, just bring Miyabi, and your gauntlets"
I nodded my head and pulled the capsules off of Tartarus and holstered them on me and followed. As we walked through the destroyed Buildings the sun started to go down and yet we couldn't find any sign of the Hassan. We explored some more till we made it to a courtyard that mimicked a traditional Persian styled courtyard.
As we looked around a low and rather raspy voice cackled, "so, you've finally arrived, welcome"
As we looked around are attention was drawn a figure on the roof looking down on us. He was wearing minimal clothing just some really baggy looking grey pants, and black wrapping across his chest, with pure black skin. I don't me black as in he was brown, I mean jet black like not a normal skin color, level of black. His face was hidden behind a skeletal mask, his right arm though was covered completely in black cloth with leather bindings around it closing it, his right arm…it was abnormally large.
All Might chuckled and said, "Hassan of the cursed arm, the current Hassan I sabbah"
