Chapter 3: Fathers of the Year

Deep in a fortress, three men were pondering their latest findings.

And these three men were an unholy team-up.

The first was a slight, brunette man. Whatever handsomeness he had, it was mostly covered by a brown plague mask.

The second man was much larger, with a mane of golden hair flowing out of a shiny helmet. A pointed mustache sat above his permanent grimace.

The last man was utterly nondescript, short, balding, bespectacled.

Kai Chisaki, Judge Vinsmoke, and Shou Tucker were all being their rotten selves.

"I assume the subject yielded interesting results," the Alchemist piped up.

"Perhaps," the King of the Germa answered. "At the very least, we can confirm that all subjects' 'Lineage Factor' is compatible enough to commence further testing."

"One step forward," Overhaul nodded in satisfaction.

As the three wandered into a drab hallway, the ex-Yakuza continued the conversation. "Also…there've been sightings…of a certain girl from my world. With her Quirk…I could once again reach that breakthrough in power suppression. And add a bit of luck…I could apply it to Reishi, Chakra, and any other energy."

"Ah…" Judge paused. "It seems I wasn't the only one to receive news. The…anomaly…amongst my sons has reemerged. His abilities have improved without explanation, and the answer just might add insight to our…mutual project."

"I can't wait to see the results," Shou added.

"WHOOM!" All of a sudden, the lights went dark. A distant alarm began to whine.

"GERMA! TO ME!" Judge commanded. As he did so, Overhaul removed his gloves.

A few dozen Germa Clones assembled around the trio of scientists.

For an agonizing minute, no one moved. No one dared to make a single sound. Then…

"OOOHHH…Prrrrrr. OOOHHH…Prrrrrr."

ZHOOM!

A red blade of light glowed across the dark hallway.

And there he stood…one who was more machine now than man. His garb was totally engulfed in darkness. A black cape fluttered ominously. A mechanical armor glistened in the red light. His head was covered with a skeletal mask and smooth helmet.

"OOOHHH…Prrrrr. OOOHHH….Prrrrr."

And that godforsaken breathing was rattling the Germa grunts to their very bones.

"OPEN FIRE!" Judge hollered.

ZHOOM! ZHOOM! ZHOOM! ZHOOM!

With the lazy swings of one hand, Darth Vader deflected every single bullet with ease.

"AHH! ERGH! OOF!" And the Germa were falling one-by-one to what was deflected back.

"Oh no!" Overcome by the sheer intensity of the atmosphere…Shou Tucker began to run.

"URK!" Only to feel SOMETHING clench around his throat, begin lifting him up, and start floating him back to the invader.

With a mere gesture of the hand holding his lightsaber, Vader pulled all the guns right out of the Germa's hands.

As he held the choking Alchemist to his side, every single Germa was being cut down with ease. Most were quickly put down with slashes through the chest.

"RAH!" Judge's boots thrust forward, his spear at the ready.

"DENJI SHAFT!"

And Vader moved Tucker to take the attack.

"UHH!"

The Dark Lord spun and cleaved Judge's spear in two. Then, he used the Force to hurl both of them back. Judge SLAMMED into the wall, while Tucker smacked Overhaul's face with enough force to knock his mask off.

"BLURGH!" Tucker began coughing blood and other bodily fluids on the Yakuza's face.

"FILTH!" With a touch of his hand, Overhaul exploded Tucker's Head.

"NOW DIE!" Overhaul brought his hand to the ground, and spikes erupted at the enemy.

"I think not," Vader intoned with that intimidatingly deep voice of his.

His speed was incredible. He brought down every single threat that Overhaul could throw at him. And he was still walking forward as if he was taking a leisurely stroll.

"And now," Vader brought his free hand up.

"WHOOM!" It was as if he was the epicenter of a storm as every loose thing in the hallway began to rise up and encircle him.

"I will show you the true nature of the Force."

BOOM! Everything shot out from around him at incredible speed.

Overhaul barely managed to defend himself…only to realize something.

The walls were groaning. Vader had just taken out the structural integrity.

'He's going to bring this place down on me!' Overhaul desperately tried running to safety.

"URK!" And that opening was all Vader needed to seize the Yakuza's neck. "Crick!"

"KRA-KOOM!" The entire laboratory became nothing more than a pile of rubble.

Darth Vader stood unharmed and triumphant.

"Looks like I'm late," a calm voice behind him uttered.

Gaara of the Sand narrowed his eyes.

Vader paused…and saw the SAND forming around him.

"NNNNNNOOOOOOO!"

A.N. Yeah…those three 'dads of the year' WILL be in a crew together. Felt so wrong that I just HAD to give them a gruesome death now…so I'd feel less guilty down the line! And what better way to go out…than a HALLWAY SCENE with Vader!

Til Next Time…Have Fun! Stay Safe!
