Chapter 1: Rise of Saiaku Mono
"Family will always be there for you, no matter what" Kids are taught that at a young age no matter what you can rely on family.
'What a load of Crap' Thought a girl with blond hair in a pony tail and fingerless gloves as she walked through a forest with a smile on her face. 'I mean, what even is family? Someone you share blood with? Why does that matter anyway?'Eh, whatever, she could ponder that later, right now she was sensing a strong energy signature from this forest, so whoever it is could be powerful enough to join up with her.
She had been traveling for a few days now and had just reached Burington city when she realized that the energy source she had been tracking wasn't coming from the city, but from the forest on the outskirts of the city, Bari woods.
She had heard rumors of a house that would appear and disappear in the blink of an eye should someone see it, along with a cloaked figure that would do the same should it see you, so it was either someone with a real useful quirk, or someone was just screwing with her. 'Knowing how my quirk fritizes combined with my luck, I wouldn't be surprised'' She thought with an exasperated look.
Besides, what were the odds of actually running into the person?
rustle, rustle
No. F*cking. Way. The sound came from behind her. She whipped around with a grin on her face to find that it was... a… bunny. 'Sigh' 'Well , that's to be expected' She thought dejectedly. She turned around to walk in the direction of the energy pull she felt. Looking back on it, that probably should have been a warning that she wasn't hearing the forest being.
As she walked in the direction of the pull she came into a forest clearing she began to think that maybe the rumors she had heard weren't true, and that her power was, just glitching again. Seriously, why did it always happen to-Ow! She was jerked out of her train of thought as she bumped her head on… a wall? Who puts a wall in the middle of a forest? Wait, it was a wall one would see a house, made of wood. Then why did it feel as hard as stone when she bumped into it?
Hold on, what were these things at her feet? Were these… apples? They were! Wait a second, apples don't appear on the ground like that!. Also, the wall she ran into was small, meaning…. She ran to the other side, then the other and found a door!
'Okay', she thought, 'whatever's behind this door is likely really strong so its better to play it safe and just knock'
3 minutes later….
Okay they were taking their sweet time it was better to just break in. The inside of the house was weirdly clean, like no one had even lived in it. It also looked like it was from the 90s? There was a marble plated kitchen top, flower printed curtains and table cloth, and an old fashioned drying rack. What was going on here? Did she travel back in time or something?
All of a sudden, she heard the tell tale sound of someone breathing. It was coming from the only other door in the house. She walked forward slowly being careful to mind her footsteps and slowly opened the door to find… A guy? 'Okay',she thought,'Not what I was expecting'.
As far as men went, he wasn't anything to write home about. Black hair, brown skin, looked like he needed a shave and a cut. His stomach wasn't rock hard but it wasn't extremely fat. He had at least a 6 inches on her making him at least 5'6. He had scars on his nose that likely came from acne so he was likely 15 or so. And he had some grey hairs scattered around that you probably couldn't see if he was moving. That only left her with one question.
Am I just supposed to wait here till he wakes up or?' Waiting would be the proper thing to do, but she was anything but that. So she punched his stomach."WAKE UP!"
His eyes flew open in shock as he gasped and held his stomach."AGH!". "So now that you're awake, we can discuss you joining my group." He looked at her in shock in response to that and snapped his fingers.
"Huh?" She thought as the house around her disintegrated into dust and… sparkles?
Weird, wait! Where was he? She couldn't see him due to the dust surrounding her. "Crap, gotta try and sense his presence." She tried to focus on his pull, but it was like she was surrounded by him.'What's going on here?'. She was, however, able to discern that the pull was slightly stronger behind, so she simply turned and blindly ran that way.
Once she was out of the cloud of whatever that was, she could run more quickly due to being able to see clearly. She had to jump over roots and bushes so that slowed her down, luckily she was used to running rapidly through obstacles. After a few minutes she finally caught up to him and lunged forward, only for him to move out of the way so that the only thing she got was nothing… and a one way ticket of the EDGE OF A CLIF!
'Oh crap', she thought as she fell,`no, no,no,no,no,no,no,no,no,no,no,no,no,no,no,no,no! I can't die here! I still have to kill him and get revenge!', as she thought this a brief image of a man flashed through her mind,"I can't! I won't! I… am taking a really long time to reach the bottom of this cliff and my painful demise?". At a second glance, she wasn't even falling, she was going up! She looked up to see the dude from before grabbing her hand and pulling her back to the top of the cliff. Once she was up, she dusted herself "Thanks for the save!" she said as got her bearings. Now that she got a good look at him, she could see he was wearing a dark coat, black pants, black shoes, black gloves, and shades.
'Guessing this guy likes the color black, hehe' she thought with a sweat drop above her head.
"So now with all that behind us, let's talk about joining my grou- HEY! Don't walk away while I talk to you, that's rude!". While she was talking about her(Totally realistic) group,he had the gall to walk away.
"Oh, I'm the rude one. You broke into my house and punched me in the stomach while I was sleeping and you call me rude?!" He yelled as he whirled around with anger and shock on his face.
"Doesn't mean you get to be rude too!"
"Well, I am!" He said walking to the clearing he had been found in.
"But I need to talk to you about joining my crew!"
"Yeah, and you're doing such a good job at convincing me."
"Give me a break, I'm rusty."
"Wait a minute," He said, stopping in the clearing,"how many people did your group start with?"
"... I don't see how that's important."
"Answer! Now!"
"One."
"And how many people do you have now?"
"...One."
"Never! You've never recruited anyone before!"
"Doesn't mean I shouldn't tr-"
Click
They both froze as their eyes widened and slowly looked around themselves to see that they were surrounded by soldiers, with one of them with a beard holding a gun to her back.
"Finally got you" he said as pulled out a pair of handcuffs and started cuffing her.
"Sergeant-" she said.
"It's Brigadier General Vise, and you have no idea how long I've been waiting for this." said the man now known as Vice.
"Wait a second, Sergeant is for the air force, and also how did you get a high ranking officer to come out personally just to get you!?" said the guy she had been chasing.
"Ohhhh, I just… kinda… sorta… did some stuff?", she said with a awkward grin on her face.
"She wrecked Odin Pravilo's house" said Vise
"…
...
... Is that supposed to be someone important or?" He said with a confused look.
"He's the president of the United States," said Vise seriously.
"WHAT?! Why would you do that?!"
"Okay more importantly how do you not know who the president is?"
"I don't pay attention to politics, alright!"
"Listen, Sir, I was just being chased by this maniac girl-"
"Hey!"
"-who broke into my house soooo I'm just gonna go an-".
"BANG!"
A shot had been fired right next to him by Vise.
"Now hold on there sir, cause this is kind of itching my mind right now, why would a teenager need to hide out in the woods?" He said with a knowing look on his face.
"Ummmmm…"
"Let me answer that for you, a month ago a family reported their son to be missing along with having some injuries, and wouldn't you know it he looks very similar to you."
The boys eyes widened with shock
"Guess I just have one of those faces." He said calmly looking downward.
"Coupled with the fact that this girl wants you to join her little group, we can deduce that you have a powerful quirk and for some reason, you injured your family, causing you to run from them, and you know what happens when you break the law."
…
…
…
'I'm gonna regret this.' Thought the boy as he sighed and yelled to the girl."Hey! Can you fight if I get those handcuffs off you!?"
"Dependddds, will you join my crew?"
"I'll consider it."
"Good enough!"
"Alright then" he said as he took his gloves off and bought his hands together and clapped," Let's get started." All of a sudden, he was propelled by a pole that jutted from his foot…
"Open fire on the-!"
…right into head butting the stomach of Brigadier General Vise.
The process of this stopped the boy in midair allowing him to land right next to the girl and slam both his palms next to her on the ground. Suddenly, a pink, spherical, crystal-like shield formed around them as a pink glow came from the ground, stopping the bullets from hitting them.
From the same pink glow that formed the shield a sword of the same color rose from. Using the sword, he slashed her cuffs off.
"Woo! Free at last!"she said as she started to take off her gloves.
"Yeah as long as you don't count the 15 soldiers shooting at my cracking shield!" He said in both and sarcasm.
"Don't worry, I've got this I just need to get over there quickly, think you can help with that?" She said while popping her knuckles with a cocky grin on her face.
"Of course I can"
"Great, drop the shield and propel me forward in 3… 2… NOW!
With the snap of his fingers, the shield burst into a cloud just like the one before( albeit smaller) to mask them from the soldiers, causing said men to stop in caution.
Instantaneously, the two shot from the cloud and towards the soldiers. The boy taking out a soldier with a crystal to the guy and the girl landing between two men and starting using hand to hand combat with them eventually placed her hands on their faces. All of a sudden, her arms got veiny and the men started shriveling up.
"What the hell…" the men said in shock as the bodies dropped to the floor unconscious.
"Damn." Thought the boy as he blocked a soldier's punch.
"Don't worry, they're not dead, I just drained enough for me to get to higher levels of power. And now that I'm at full energy…" She said grinning.
Suddenly, she rushed forward, driving her fist into guard after guard's face.
"…I can pound you jerks into the ground!"
'Guess I better get to work.' Thought the boy.
…
Minutes later, they were done tying up all the soldiers.
"Well, that was fun and I thank you for the most annoying hour of my life but I think it's time for me to get back to my loner life so I bid you adieu." The boy said as he walked back towards the forest.
"Uhhhh, you can't stay here." She said in response.
"What! Why?"
"Well all these soldiers now know what you look like and you attacked them so they're probably gonna put this entire forest on lockdown, or did you only memorize military rankings and not procedure?" She said with a smug smirk on her face.
"Ummm…"
"Wait. Did you honestly think they wouldn't send more people to catch you?"
"Well it made sense in my head, but now that you say it out loud…"
"Besides, old Vise has photographic memory so -wait where is he?"
They both looked around the area.
…
...
"We let him get away, didn't we?" He asked.
"Yes, yes we did."
"I'm gonna hafta join up with you if I want to survive the army coming after me, aren't I?"
"Yes, yes you will"
'Siiiiiiiigh'"Fine."
"Wait, what?"
"Yeah, I mean we already took out like 15 guys with guns so we know we work well together, there is one thing missing though."
"What's that?"
"What's your name?"
"Oh! I'm Kari"
"...Neran" He said, putting his hand out to shake.
"Ooooooh wait, let me get my gloves."
"Why?"
"Well…" She said, showing him her hands.
On each palm a circular leech mouth could be seen.
"…that's why." She said putting her gloves on, with a look of embarrassment on her face.
"…You commit felonies galore and you're embarrassed of those things?" He said skeptically.
"They kind of suck out the energy of those they come in contact with and give them to me so I kind of didn't have a regular childhood." She said, rubbing her head.
"I think they're cool."
Wait, cool? Her quirk had been called many things, but never cool.
"I knew I liked you for a reason." She muttered.
"What was that?"
"Nothing, nothing."
"Besides, aren't you worried about me being a criminal?"
"Why would I be? I can tell you're a nice person." She said knocking him on the shoulder and knocking off his shades revealing his eyes.
"OWW!"
"Seriously?"
"I'm sore, okay!"
"Wait, are your pupils seriously pink, wait now they're red?"
"Sometimes." He said as his eyes turned purple.
"Cooooool, I'm going to constantly make a joke out of this."
"Please don't." He said as his eyes turned red.
"This is me right now, 😂."
"Whatever that was, I can only assume it was laughing at my expense because I couldn't see it."
"Well they did and that's all that matters."
"… Okay despite all that I only have two questions, what's our group called and what's our goal?"
"Well that's simple! We're Saiaku Mono, and our goal is to kill the president."
…
…
"WHAT!?"
