Tomura landed coughing and spluttering in a dark room. His nose burned at the rancid stench of the warping quirk as he forced air down his throat to his aching lungs.

Slowly, carefully Tomura stood his legs threatening to collapse beneath him as he rose. And the slippery pipes that made up the floor beneath his feet didn't exactly help in that matter.

The blue haired man carefully held his aching side as he looked around the room. His ruby eyes slowly adjusting to the dim light in the room he had landed in.

"Ugh." Toga groaned beside Tomura as she slowly sat up holding her head. "What happened?"

"The good Doctor decided that we needed to talk." Tomura said as he reached down and carefully helped his blonde ally up. Making sure to avoid touching her with all five of his fingers. "So here we are in the hidden level."

Toga shivered once she was finally able to stand up. "It's freezing in here." She said rubbing her hands together. "My clothes are super cute but they aren't warm!"

"Here." Tomura said offering his leather coat to the girl after he removed his hands. "I don't get cold easily."

"Thanks Tomura!" The blond gushed with a slight blush as she tugged on the coat. It was longer than she was tall so a good amount of it was on the ground. "If your lips weren't so chapped I'd kiss you!"

"I would like to go the rest of my life without having to see a sight that terrifying." Dabi said coughing as he straightened a staple that had been twisted from the teleportation.

Toga pouted at Dabi as the scarred lanky man slowly stood. "You don't have to be so mean!" She said pointing at her taller comrade. Not caring that her hand was practically consumed by the sleeve of the coat.

"I know." Dabi said as he straightened the collar of his coat. "And I don't care."

"Stop being so mean! You're the nicest!" Twice said bolting up to a sitting position.

"Whatever." Dabi said shrugging as he looked around the dimly lit room. "Wait are these... nomu?" He said looking at the dark tanks that surrounded them. Dark skinned, humanoid figures with exposed brains and many different physical deformities floated within them. "But... they seem different than normal."

Tomura looked at one of the nomu. It's head obscured by the hood of flesh it grew. "High-End?"

"Oh! So you do remember Mikumo's nomu then!" The Doctor excitedly said from the far side of the room. His voice holding a twinge of madness as he spoke. "My dear little "Hood" is just a prototype compared to these others. And it's as Dabi said when compared to the nomu that you all saw before are low-end products." The Doctor's voice was filled with a strange parental pride as he spoke. "These dear children are one whole step closer to being a masterpiece! Compared to the nomu that you knew these are a whole new breed!"

"A whole new breed." Tomura whispered laying his hand on the tank containing "Hood" as he gazed at the floating nomu. "Hmm no matter." He said looking away from the nomu to stare at the dark abyss from which the Doctor's voice emanated from. "I searched for you, I came here because I wanted to know if it was possible for you to replicate these." Tomura said holding up a case containing the 9 quirk killing bullets that Toga and Twice had managed to steal from Shie Hassaikai.

The Doctor chuckled. "It hasn't even been ten minutes and you're already making a request! My, my you still are a child despite your age, aren't you?" He said making Tomura glare at his shadowy figure in the distance. "Can't we have a talk first? Like with how long your hair is." The Doctor chuckled but despite his jovial tone his voice held an edge. Like if they angered him something horrible might happen. "How is your father and the others anyway?"

Tomura ran his thumb over his father's severed hand. "They're fine." He said after a moment.

"You're the illustrious Doctor then." Mr. Compress said stepping forward and nearly slipping on a pipe. "I can hardly see anything in here let alone you."

"STAY BACK!" The Doctor roared making Mr. Compress take a involuntary step back at the sheer rage in the man's voice.

'He's a lot more... testy than I remember.' Tomura thought looking at the shadowy figure of the Doctor.

"Heh my apologies Mr. Compress but do not approach me so imprudently. Understood?" The Doctor said his jovial tone returning but now with a edge. "I'll be the one to approach you as I see fit. Violate that and you'll all meet a sticky end beneath Gigantomachia's fists."

"You're the one who called us here." Twice said annoyed. "You crazy old man."

"Can we just get down to business?" Dabi asked glaring at the Doctor's silhouette. "I'd rather not have to stay here longer than needed."

"If you're that eager then let's get down to business." The Doctor said his jovial tone having a slight twinge of annoyance. "I brought you here out of respect for All For One not because of any of your own actions." He said making Tomura glare at him. "You lack something that Mikumo has. A clear, defined goal."

"Mikumo while he is a traitor to every belief that All For One holds has a goal. To make this world a better place without people like you." The Doctor said making Tomura look down in shame. "Oh? Ashamed are we? Good after all it is entirely your fault that he left the great All For One's side for those silly heroes."

Tomura glared at the ground. Bile rising in his throat as he thought of the pain he had inflicted upon the boy who had called him brother.

"But you're wrong." Tomura said after a moment. "I do have a goal."

"Oh really?" The Doctor asked curious as to what Tomura meant. "And what is this goal?"

"I don't remember much from before I met Sensei and you." Tomura began staring at his father's hand. "But what little that I do feels my heart with rage."

"And what does this have to do with this goal?"

"I killed my family." Tomura said looking down at his father's hand. "I killed them and after Sensei took me in I ruined the mind of his only son... I'm a monster, a monster that this horrible world made." He said as he spread his arms wide. "I hate everything! Everything in this sick twisted world that made me who I am!" His ruby eyes blazed as he glared at the Doctor's silhouette. "So I'll destroy it all and reshape it into a paradise, a beautiful horizon from a ruinous horror! I'll show you both heaven and hell on earth!"

The Doctor bursted out laughing. "Now that is what I call a child's fantasy! All right then Tomura Shigaraki I'll lend you my power! Go ahead show me this horizon!" He said madness leaking into his words. "After all a true villain is one who makes nonsensical babblings into reality!"

"That was surprisingly easy." Mr. Compress said looking at the Doctor with surprise. "I'd thought it'd take a lot more than that."

"You have a lot of messed up ideas Tomura." Toga said looking at the lanky man. "Hey... are you going to destroy the things I like too?"

"No." Tomura said after a moment. "The wishes of my allies are an exception. You can let whatever it is that you care for live." He said making Toga jump for joy.

The Doctor chuckled. "Heh you're even more crazy than I thought Tomura."

"Were you just playing us then?" Tomura asked glaring at the Doctor's silhouette.

"Heh no, no Tomura I simply wished to see how you've developed." The Doctor said reclining in his chair. "And I must say you've changed quite a bit since we last saw each other. But I was planning to help you from the start." He said pointing at the tanks that filled the massive room. "This children are one of my contributions."

"But they aren't the only thing I've made." The Doctor said after a moment. "I've been busy with research creating a special power just for you Tomura." He said making Tomura look at him with surprise.

"However I won't hand them over just yet!" The Doctor continued. "You children are still weak, still novices that I cannot fully intrust all of my creations to."

"And... what do we have to do to get these creations?" Tomura asked glaring at the Doctor.

"Gigantomachia." The Doctor simply began. "Make that beast yield to you instead of Mikumo and I'll offer you everything that I have."

"Heh alright then." Tomura said smirking. "This'll be one long tutorial to get a power up though."

"Sorry boss but you'll have to do that without me." Dabi said sticking his hands into his pockets. "I'm busy working on a new ally."

"Yeah right!" Toga said pointing at Dabi. "You're just sulking cause your fire doesn't work on Giganto!"

"Shut up you crazy bitch." Dabi growled glaring down at the blond. "This ally could get us in the big leagues." The scarred man turned to look at Tomura. "Look boss I don't give a damn about your feelings or whatever that whole speech was about. I only give a damn about doing the best for me."

"Alright." Tomura said looking at Dabi with a small smile. "This ally better be worth it though."

"In that case! I'd like you to give one of my High-Ends a test run!" The Doctor excitedly yelled at Dabi. "I can tell that we both have an eye for beauty! So I think we'll get along quite well!"

"Did you even hear a thing I said doc?"

"Enough of this Doctor this, Doctor that nonsense call me... Daruma Ujiko."

"Okay Daruma hurry up and send us back." Tomura said smiling. "I'm feeling pretty motivated for some reason."

Daruma pressed a button making a mechanical arm holding a box of communicators extend forward. "Use these to contact me from now on." He simply said before rummaging around for a moment. Before he sat up holding a small dark skinned nomu with several modifications to it's little body. "Now then Johnny send them back." He said twisting a knob in the nomu's brain.

Tomura landed on his feet this time. He glared at Gigantomachia as he pressed his father's hand to his face.

"Yo." The blue haired man said making the giant turn to glare at him. "Your future king has arrived."

"The king." Gigantomachia growled. "Is one who inspires fear, one who is strong. Everyone wishes to be king yet little can be. How can you be my king when you're so weak?"

"I'll show you." Tomura said smiling behind his father's hand. "I'll show you just how I can be your king you big brute."
