Once we appeared on the other side of the portal we all but tumbled upon each other, The portal then closed immediately after. We were in the living room, Seishika looked at us with a smirk. "Have fun?" He asked nonchalantly from the armchair, clearly taunting us. "You could say that…" I replied as I got up. "Well mission accomplished." Ugoka sputtered as he lifted himself up. "You got word out Kid, and I won't lie your leadership was competent back there." Ugoka walked over to help Omiora up. "Do you think it'll work?" She asked no one in particular as Ugoka helped her up. I took out my walkie talkie and asked "Uncle you there?". "Sure thing Kiddo." He responded as usual. "Good, If you and Seishika can start to spread word on where to meet that would be great.". Seishika started to get up, presumably to do so but I blurted out. "Wait," Seishika turned to me with a look that read "Now what?". "We'll need to set up a location for you to make a portal, it would be unwise to have them show up here on foot.". I continued to explain. "I concur." Ugoka agreed, getting closer to us as he said this. "I know a place, an old condemned bar I used to hang in with my gang. It's in the middle of town so we can get the more...subtle one's in through there.". "What about the more well known villains?" Omiora asked us. "I'll take care of that." Seishika volunteered with a smirk. Ugoka gave him a distrustful look, Seishika let his arms flop down as he stated "I've had my fair share of gatherings, I most certainly know how to set one up.". "Thank you Seishika." I said in an attempt to stop any aggression before it started. Luckily it succeeded as Seishika threw down two canisters and walked through a portal once it opened, leaving the other one there. "I'll let ya know once the locations have been set up." The walkie talkie blared. "Ugoka, wanna give me the location on that bar?". Ugoka walked over and I handed him the walkie talkie, he and Uncle Kiyaka started to discuss the location as soon as it reached Ugoka's ear. I looked to the back door and made my way to it.
As I got out I sat down on the bench located on the outside porch and let out a heavy sigh. The cavern was large, we could probably make multiple storied housing units, we'd need to get the supplies however. As I pondered that thought I heard the back door open and Omiora walked out, she held something in her hand. "What is this?" She asked me as he displayed it. In her hand she held my Music Box, I had left it on the living room table so it wouldn't be damaged during our...outing. "Something important, give it here." I half ordered, half pleaded as I extended my hand. She promptly placed it in said hand and sat by me in silence for about five seconds, eventually feeling I had to explain myself I said. "It was my dad's." She turned and gave me a sympathetic look as I continued. "Mom gave it to me not long before...before…". I could feel tears start to form, so I shook my head, shooing them away. If I was going to be a leader I had to stay strong. "It's all I have left of them." I concluded somberly. "I'm sorry Kyokia…" Omiora apologized in an attempt to make me feel better. "No, I'm sorry for being so curt, you couldn't have known." I apologized in return. "You know, from my experience talking about these things helps a lot." She suggested carefully. "I know it hurts but...It would likely be a good idea to do so.". I sat in silence momentarily, considering her words before nodding my head. "What were they like?" Omiora asked in a gentle tone. "My mother...was a strong woman." I started. "She worked day and night trying to support us, you could always go to her when you needed to. Sadly due to this she wasn't around as often as me or my sister would've liked so we were...sour with her for a while. But as we grew older we understood." Omiora nodded her head in understanding.
"Speaking of her, My sister's name was Mugiti. She was... well Mugiti. She was tough on me, sibling rivalry and all that. Her favorite nickname for me was squirt." I added with a sad laugh. "We had our differences, but we always looked out for each other." I then thought back to the day me and Izuku talked about Omiora. When Mugiti woke me up, a tiny smile toyed with my lips. "She always woke me up with a taunt, I think it was her way of keeping me on my toes, which worked honestly.". "What of your father?" Omiora asked me. "My father died when I was young, I don't know much about him." I answered. "I see…" Omiora said as she put a hand on my back. "Uncle Kiyaka was always my father figure." I continued, not making an attempt to shake her hand off, it was a welcome guester. "There's one more person worth mentioning.". "Another sibling?" Omiora suggested, A weak laugh escaped me at that. "He was as close as one, His name is Izuku. We-". With that the door opened again, and out walked Ugoka. "Your Uncle's working on that meeting place, could take a couple days, could be in an hour." He informed us as he walked out of the house. "Ideally we'll be able to start working the first day we have some hands, we need to start construction on housing and training area's after all." I said as I rose from the bench, all tenderness and weakness leaving as I did. "And how on earth do you plan on doing that?" Ugoka questioned slightly skeptically. "Well we have a way in and out of places, and a multitude of construction and hardware stores. I'm sure we'll manage." I answered. Ugoka nodded and sighed. He walked over to the bench and sat down next to Omiora. "Guess we wait then, now what were you two talking about?"
I spent the next hour or so recounting the events that took place up to the hospital in detail. They then took turns recounting their personal life as well. Ugoka had aspirations to be a painter but the only art his family wanted him to do was...brutal to say the least. Omiora's family was much more accepting and she got along with them, but when it came to the law they were stalwart in their position. That's why they were so quick to turn on her. "Really it was just by chance we met," Ugoka stated. "I ran into her a bit after my gang was found out. We've been with each other ever since.". "Thats suspicious." I jokingly stated. "Oh please, she's too old for me." Ugoka responded, much to Omiora's distaste. "Old!?" She said as she jokingly slapped his arm. "For me! I said for me! Don't twist my words!" Ugoka objected as he turned his head to her. I laughed, then asked. "Either of you been in love?" I asked, just trying to keep the conversation alive. "Well you know, Highschool romance and stuff." Omiora said dismissively. "Nothing other than puppy love.". I looked at Ugoka expectantly "Mh, once. Crazy bitch." He said unceremoniously "Still head over heels for her though.". "What changed?" I asked with a raised eyebrow. "She went and cheated." Ugoka responded with a shrug. Omiora let out an audible scoff and Ugoka continued. "One time, it was a mistake. We worked it out." he paused and clicked his tongue. "Twice it was a problem, and we split.". "Well that's the shits." I said as I shook my head in disappointment of this stranger. "Well what about you?" Ugoka asked me. "Never got to it, always hanged with Izuku." I said with a hint of sadness in my voice, remembering the good times was painful. "Sounds suspicious." Ugoka slyly responded, quoting me. "Oh it wasn't like that!" I answered defensively, yet with a laugh. Ugoka chuckled to himself as well while shaking his head. I continued as I leaned against the wall. "There were some people I was interested in, just never got to asking them is all, besides...my views on villains didn't exactly make me popular." Ugoka was about to say something but we heard a portal open in the house.
As we walked in Seishika walked out of the portal and threw another canister down. He looked up at us and said "Welp, the places are set." he then looked directly at me and said. "The people who come from my gathering won't be a large group but they will likely be the strongest, I'd suggest making them your main...group of battlefield leaders. Main operatives…" Seishika paused and said "You get the idea." with a wave of his hand. Over the next 30 minutes many people started walking through the portals and filing their way outside, most were amazed by the cavern and they waited in a large group. I even saw a large suit of armor walk out into the crowd, well it was more of a metal behemoth than armor. A mech if you will. One however caught Ugoka's attention real fast. "Chimp? Is that you!?" Ugoka shouted in joy at what appeared to be a young man in a gas mask before hugging him. He looked happy, which made me happy. Omiora walked over to see who he was but I walked over to the portals when I saw who came through them. "Hey Kiddo." My uncle greeted me. "Uncle Kiyaka!" I said happily as I walked over to him. It was good to see him again, I gave him a hug once I reached him. After about ten minutes of waiting and talking to my uncle I walked to the middle of the crowd along with Omiora, Ugoka, Uncle Kiyaka and despite himself, Seishika. Ugoka's friend was among the closest to us, and I started to yell "May I have your attention.'' After about 15 seconds the cavern went silent, awaiting to hear what I had to say. "Greeting everyone! I am glad you came." I started. "We have come together to fight for our rights, to reform society. Many will laugh at us, saying there's no way we can...we are going to prove them wrong!" At first I heard some cheers, it was unexpected but not unwelcome. "How exactly do you plan to keep your promise Kyokia!?" I heard a female voice shout, a woman in her mid 20's walked to the front of the group surrounding us. "If there's a will, there's a way. And we have more will than we need." I paused for dramatic effect. "And now with all of you, we have a way.". "Why do you think this is possible?" another female voice sounded. It was coming from the armored suit, complete with a helmet so I couldn't see her face. I quickly recomposed myself and said "Humanity is a species that is able to adapt to its problems, we have adapted through generations and we have advanced. Now, we will simply advance again. But this time with the help of our quirks!" The armored woman went silent, she seemed satisfied with my answer. "Can you promise us a better future?" The first woman asked "No," I responded truthfully. "But I can promise you I will do everything in my power to try and get you one.". After I responded to her I turned my attention to the crowd as a whole "We have come together as a group to say we've had enough of this oppression, will you join me?!" The crowd had...mixed reviews, but most people were quite agreeable. And the ones who still had their reservations still stuck around.
Ugoka nudged me and said "Good work kid.". "I concur." Uncle Kiyaka said as he walked closer to me. "Now, what are you gonna do about housing?" He asked. "I've planned that out too." I said, then I called everyone's attention again and asked "Who of you have knowledge or quirks involving construction?" About 30 people walked up, this would work. "Okay, you will stay here and start working on blueprints for housing, training grounds for quirks, recreation rooms and storage areas! In the meantime we will plan out where and how to rob hardware and grocery stores." I then added "I must also state, it is strictly against our rules to cause death to anyone whenever possible.". There were many questioning murmurs and grumbling, so I continued. "If we allow ourselves to be the stereotypes society has given us we will only feed to their hate and delusions. We must prove we are better than that!". That seemed to satisfy them for the moment. I turned back to the others and saw a small group of people with us, among them was the armored woman, all behind Seishika. "As I said, I wanted you to meet our promising members." He stated as he turned to me. "Very well, lets get on with it." Ugoka said bluntly. "Please, introduce yourselves one at a time." Omiora politely requested. Two adults in their early 30's stepped up, they looked like twins. "Oh shit." Ugoka muttered tiredly. "I know them." . "I'm Sutrai.". One of them said cheerily, "I'm Dekrai." the other mirrored his twin. "And everyone does." They said to Ugoka in unison. "Meet the Sen'yuku twins." Ugoka said with an exasperated sigh. "Best infiltrators this side of Japan.". "That's us!" Dekrai chimed in. "Just trust!" Sutrai added. Positivity and energy radiated from these two, much to Ugoka's dismay. "What are your quirks?" Omiora asked them. "I'm stealth." Sutrai said. "I can turn invisible! Touch me and you'll turn invisible! Touch anyone invisible and you'll be invisible! It's simple right?" He asked us, and before we could answer Dekrai started to explain his quirk. "I'm slick! I can make myself completely immune to any electric based trap, touch me or another affected person and you'll be just like me!". "But," Sutrai started. "If we're too far away from each other, our quirks don't work." Dekrai finished for him. I thought these two were...unique. "Nice to meet you two." I responded, not showing my slight unease. "Who's next?"
"That!...Would be me!." A young adult yelled as he walked up to us, he held a bottle of alcohol, beer perhaps.. "My name's Kojin Utabo. Career criminal." He said as he all but stumbled closer. "It was a...reckless decision. And I want out.". He put a lot of emphasis on the word out as he held up his beer bottle, then took a swig. "That's understandable." I said while shaking his hand. "What's your quirk?". "Well I can make clones." he stated once his lips left the bottle. "From DNA, hair will do. They'll do as they're told and last about 4 hours, after that they'll disappear. If they die they'll disappear after 10 minutes.". "I'm assuming there's a downside?" I asked him. "Isn't there always?" He responded as he took another swig. "If I make too many, the clones will become less accurate, smart...human. They'll be terrible. In other words I can't make an army.". "Understood, welcome to the team Kojin." I said as he staggered back to Seishika, bottle in hand. "Next?" Omiora asked for me. Two people walked up to us this time, someone in his late 30's and a teenager. "My name's Fukisha Noturu. And this is my son." He patted the teenager on the back. "Senbona. Tell em what you can do son." The teenager looked at us with a face that read "Edgy goth kid.". "My quirk can make people kill each other.". Ugoka, Omiora and I were surprised to say the least. Even Uncle Kiyaka raised his eyebrow at that. "Try again." Fukisha ordered, Senbona gave an exasperated sigh before he said. "It makes people envy each other, and amplifies over a time frame I choose. The faster it escalates the more energy I spend using it.". "I also feel it gave you your attitude young man." Fukisha chastised him "Well you know what dad? It always ends in some asshole killing another!". "Language!" Fuksha said, raising his voice at Senbona.
They started to argue, Omiora just stared in bewilderment as Ugoka shook his head in his hand. My Uncle looked quite unimpressed and Seishika was laughing under his breath. "Alright enough!" Ugoka shouted at the pair, causing them to stop arguing.". "Well man what can you do?" He asked Fukisha, starting to near being fed up. "Well my quirk lets me create EMP and electric Sacks. I can make one EMP sack every minute but I can only have one ready to use at a time. As for the electric sacks they give people a good zap but one or two won't kill anybody. I can throw em indefinitely but I'll get tired if I throw em for too long.". "Gee I wonder where I get the downside of my quirk from dad!" Senbona remarked sarcastically. They started arguing again, Fukisha said things like "Some people are quirkless you know!" until Ugoka broke them apart again. "Tell us what the EMP does and then go argue somewhere else!" He ordered, now at his limit. "Well it'll disable any electronic device and temporarily disable electronic quirks." Fukisha responded. "Good! Good!" Ugoka said finally. "Now go there." He pointed to the group. "Or there!" He then pointed to the house. "Just…not here!" As he and his son returned back to the group the first woman from earlier walked up to us.
"My name is Utagawaki Inkuja." she informed us all. "But most people just call me Uta.". Ugoka smirked as he said "Definitely Uta then.". Uta ignored him as she continued. "My quirk is called interrogation. If I ask someone something and they know anything about it they better tell me, if they don't they'll start to feel pain, everywhere. The more they resist the more they hurt.". "Quite the quirk." Ugoka complimented. "Downsides?". "Just the nightmares, I'll feel extremely guilty after an interrogation.". She replied. "Why did you decide to join LOGIC?" Omiora questioned politely. "All due respect ma'am, thats personal." Uta responded formally in return, Omiora gave an understanding nod as Uta walked back. "Aha! Chimp's turn!" Ugoka said, smiling as his friend walked up next. "His name's Chimoka, but everyone just called him Chimp, he was in the hellplosions before we disbanded!" I was taken aback by the name. "Was that your old gang's name?" I asked, slightly amused…and my smile showed it. "Well, I was never great at naming…" Ugoka said sheepishly. He was much more...jovial with Chimp. "Chimp and I have been buds since we were kids! Anyway, his quirk." Ugoka began. "Chimp here can silence anything or anyone within a medium to short distance.". "Why does he wear that mask?" Omiora asked regarding the gas mask Chimp was wearing. "Ah that was his pop's." Ugoka responded. "All he has left of the guy." We left it at that and Ugoka went on to explain the downside of Chimps quirk. "You won't hear him talk though, Chimp has to mimic other people's voices, exact words only.". "I see." I responded thoughtfully. "Well, welcome to LOGIC chimp." he just nodded in response and walked back to the group. Ugoka then went back to his usual mood. "Last one's the robot.". He said nodding over to the armored woman.
"Robot!?" she asked defensively as she walked over to us. "This "robot" is the most advanced mech in the history of Japan!". It was certainly nice to look at, it had a silver shine to it, it was bulky and the helmet had no neck. "Give me a sec…" she requested and the mech's chest and helmet started to… open. As the helmet went back she stepped out of the mech, she was a slim woman with an intelligent, know-it-all look to her. "Name's Dr. Hatsu Somitsu.". She informed us all.. "How could anyone forget?" Uncle Kiyaka asked as he walked closer to her. "Kiyaka? Ha! I thought that was you!" they gave each other a friendly hug, even Seishika was surprised. "You two know each other?" he asked them. "Oh me and him have worked together before quite a few times." Hatsu replied with a grin. "What the hell are you doing here old man? This isn't your style.". "Kid's my nephew." Uncle Kiyaka nodded his head over to me without breaking eye contact with her. "Nephew? You never mentioned a nephew!". She paused in thought before saying. "Then again you wouldn't want to mention family in this line of work.". "Pleasure to meet you." I said, trying to get back on track. "Ah yeah, you too kid." She said, it appeared she wanted to get back on track too. "I was a robotics engineer a while ago." she explained. "Worked on tech for the government, I had set up schematics for a mech that no one believed in.". "Why'd you turn villain?" Ugoka questioned. "My quirk." she stated. "I call it "detect." I can find out three clues on what I want to know, one of them's always an outright lie.". "Dosen't expla-". "Let me finish." She said, interrupting Ugoka's interruption. "I detected some corruption in the lab, I tried reporting it but no one believed me. Was a dead woman if I stayed so I took my schematics and ran.". "I'm assuming you built that mech then?" I said while looking at the behemoth behind her. "Hell yeah I did!" she responded ecstatically. "Being a government scientist has its share of pay, and turns out the black market has some good material for sale." She looked at her mech with an evident sense of pride. "They never believed me when I said it could be done.". She paused for a second. "But," She turned around to us. "I'm tired of this villainy, I want my life back!" she grabbed my hand in an arm wrestle fashion "And I'm ready to fight for it kid! Lemme at em!". I smiled at her enthusiasm, she was personable and friendly…I felt many would grow to like her. "Welcome aboard Doctor." I said. "Ah to hell with that." She responded, waving her free hand. "Yall can call me Hatsu.". "Well that's everybody." Seishika said to Ugoka, Omiora and I. "With their quirks in mind, you should start planning" he stated as I nodded in agreement. "Um, sirs?" a person said from behind us. "We've got schematics ready, we just need the supplies.". "Excellent work!" Omiora said. "Let's get started." I ordered.
