Hello, hello. Tis I the author. First things first thank you to all who voted on my red lantern Izuku poll. The outcome is Red lantern vigilante Izuku. Next I have a poll on what arrancar zanpakuto Izuku should have when I eventually turn him into an arrancar. So if you dudes wanna vote on that I'd appreciate it. Granted I'm fairly certain that I know which option will win should people vote. Anyway due to the next two manga arcs not coinciding with my Izuku's moral alignment chapters may be shorter and come out less frequently as I am creating a story line without any preexisting foundation. So if you guys want me to start writing another story while I'm writing this one, please let me know. Without further ado let's get into it.
General POV
Himiko was squeeling with happiness. Why you ask? Well for one Tomoko and Compress started dating. Two she won $300 because Tooru, Momo, and Shouto all believed that Tomoko would be the one to initiate the relationship. She and Izuku both believed that Compress would, and they were right. Dabi, Neito, and Ibara all didn't particularly care. Three Eri was playing with Izuku and both of them looked adorable. Four she and Dabi had a date planned for today and she was very, very, very excited.
"Hey Dabi. Hey Dabi. Hey Dabi. Hey, hey, hey Dabi. When are we going on our date?"
"We'll go in a little bit. Settle down."
"Not possible. This is the first date we've gone on since before Momo and Tooru snuck into UA. Sorry not sorry."
"Fine fine. We'll go now."
"Don't act like such a sourpuss. You know you're just as excited as I am."
"Maybe you're right, but at least I can keep in reigned in."
"Composure is over rated."
Dabi just sighed, took her hand in his, and began walking towards the door. Himiko skipped right beside him. She was a sucker for things like dates and hand holding and such. Her school girl outfit wasn't just for show ya know.
The first destination on Dabi's planned itinerary was a humble, gothic styled cafe that he frequented. He figured his psychotic princess would be able to appreciate the place and it's style. Once they went inside Himiko squeeled and Dabi just smirked. Why did she squeel you ask?
"Oh my god there are cats everywhere! They're so cute!"
"I thought you might like it."
They found their way to a table and began looking at the menu. Once a waitress came by Dabi ordered coffee while Himiko ordered a sandwich and tea. They talked with each other about several topics such as how the family is doing, how criminals are learning not to get in the family's way faster than normal, and even normal stuff like movies, clothes, and gossip regarding heroes. All in all once you got past the talk of the family, the two criminals looked and sounded like a normal couple out on a normal date.
That is until gun fire crashed through the building killing several people, and clipping Himiko in the chest, right leg, and left shoulder. If his girlfriend hadn't been hit he would have roasted the perpetrator the moment it happened. However his main priority was getting Himiko fixed up and as a result let the shooter get away. The scarred man immediately rushed his injured girlfriend to the family's resident doctor.
Doc Q was used to people barging into his office since criminals have a tendency to get injured. What he wasn't used to was an executive bursting into his office while holding another severely injured executive.
"My word! What the hell happened!"
"Some prick shot up the cafe we were at. Once she's stable I'll roast whoever did it AND their fucking family!"
"My, my, if they hadn't hit one of our family members I'd pity the fool who pissed you off Dabi. Set her on the operating table please. I'll get to work immediately."
Dabi set her on the table and let the not-so-good doctor do his work. He informed the other executives, and Himiko's lieutenant know what happened. They immediately rushed over. Daz Bones, Himiko's lieutenant, was the first to speak.
"Dabi! How's the boss doing?"
"Doc Q's working on her. She should be stabilized anytime now. Izuku did you do as I asked?"
The crime boss nodded. "I did. On our way here I got a call from Orihara of Shinjuku. According to him the one responsible is a 45 year old, quirkless American, named Benjamin Poindexter."
Dabi raised his eyebrow. "What's an American doing here?"
"I don't know. I don't particularly care either. I don't think you really do either."
"You're right I don't. What's his address?"
"It's already plugged into the car's GPS. Take him out, everyone's been made aware that you're the only one allowed to touch him."
"Thanks boss man."
"Think nothing of it."
With that Dabi ran to the villain's car and took off. The shooter lived in an apartment complex in room 131. Once Dabi arrived he marched up to his prey's room and kicked the door down. Everyone in the room was startled at the scarred criminal's entrance. Poindexter was eating dinner with his wife and two daughters. Dabi didn't particularly care.
"Oh my god!" the oldest daughter cried out.
"Mommy he's scary why is he here!?" the younger one said.
"Don't worry sweethearts everything will be alright." Benjamin said to both of his daughters.
"Who the hell are you?! Who the hell do you think you are!?" his wife screamed as she grabbed a knife and assumed a fighting stance fitting of a soldier. Turns out Benjamin Poindexter was in Japan because his wife was stationed there.
Dabi looked at the family with apathy. "It's simple your husband shot up a cafe. My girlfriend was severely injured. I intend to return the favor one thousand fold."
A look of realization crosses Benjamin's face, while his wife refused to believe the scarred man and rushed forward to attack him. Her attacks were all in vain however as Dabi dodged or parried each and every one of them with minimal effort. The soldier backed up and the entire family had a look of shock.
"How? Mom's world class knife fighter and a special forces soldier. How can he beat her?"
"You know I've always found the term world class to be misleading. After all not everyone makes their skills known to the public. Now Poindexter, judging by your facade as a doting family man-" "My husband isn't acting!" "-I'm going to assume that you aren't a crazed gunman. Instead I'm going to assume that someone hired you." Dabi said as blue flames flickered off of him. "So. Tell me who hired you and I'll make your death painless. The more you refuse to answer me the more painful it'll be."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Dabi rushed towards him and kicked him in the chest. The man's daughter's screamed while his wife tried to stab her husband's attacker. Dabi dodged and sent her flying into the refrigerator. Each time the man feigned innocence Dabi would kick him and deflect retaliation from his wife. Eventually his wife spoke up.
"It wasn't him. It was me. I shot your girlfriend."
Her family looked at her with surprise.
"What's your name?"
"Melissa Poindexter."
"Tell me Melissa what's the name of the cafe we were at?"
Melissa looked shocked while the rest of the family looked confused.
"After all any hired gun worth their salt would remember their target the day the carried out the hit. Right?"
The soldier sputtered in an attempt to reply before she screamed as her knife hand was burnt to a crisp.
"Please stop! Yes I did it! The ones who hired me were a gang called The Saints! They promised to put my daughters through college!"
The man's family looked at him in shock, while Dabi looked and him with apathy. Dabi then roasted the man's wife earning screams of rage from her family.
"MOMMY!"
"YOU SON OF A BITCH!"
"WHYYY?! I TOLD YOU WHAT YOU WANTED TO KNOW!"
"You made me wait too long. I told you the longer you wait the more painful your death will be."
"My death you said! Not her's!"
"There is more than one kind of pain. For example even though I wasn't shot watching the girl I loved fall to the ground hurt far more than all of these scars put together. Like I said. I was repaying what you did one thousand times over."
"YOU SICK FUCK!" the man's eldest daughter screamed. One would think she would be killed next. Instead Dabi killed the youngest one. This elicited more screams and caused the remainging daughter to run at him with a knife. This obviously resulted in the girl's death. Benjamin broke down crying as Dabi walked up to him.
"Any last words?"
The man could only cry, incapable of forming any coherent words.
"Very well." Dabi said as he burned the shooter alive just as he did the man's family. He walked out of the apartment complex and roasted any police who got in his way as he called Calculator.
"I need you to find me the location of a gang called The Saints."
"You got it Dabi I'll have it ready for you in a few keystrokes."
"I appreciate it."
Right as Dabi got to the car Izuku left him. Directions were plugged into the GPS by Calculator. Dabi wasted no time in taking off. The Saints, much like the Midoriya family, operated out of a warehouse. So Dabi sent the car through the warehouse door. He walked in right after.
"You son of a bitch! Do you know who we are!?" a random gangster yelled out.
Instead of responding Dabi proceeded to incinerate every single member there. The screams could be heard for miles as he burnt the gangsters and their warehouse to the ground. No matter how much the gangsters prayed, no assistance would come. Calculator made sure of that by making sure everyone knew what The Saints did. Once he was finished Dabi returned to Doc Q's and saw that Toga was awake and all patched up and talking to the other executives.
"Heya Dabi! How are ya?" the girl said with her usual grin. Dabi just walked up to her with an unreadable expression.
"Uh Dabi?"
"You're not allowed to get shot ever again." the blue flame user said as he hugged her tightly. She hugged him back and hummed her agreement into his shoulder.
"This isn't the most romantic place in the world, but fuck it." Dabi said as he got on one knee. "Despite the fact that you're an excitable, blood thirsty, psychopath you've always been there for me. You've probably been there for me more than anyone excluding Izuku and Shouto. You've loved me and cared for me even when I didn't deserve it from you and I appreciate you everyday because of it. Himiko Toga will you marry me?"
Tears welled up in Himiko's eyes more and more as she listened to Dabi's speech. Everyone else had growing smiles as they knew what was coming before it even occured. When Dabi popped the question, Himiko finally cried and glomped her -very recent- fiance while screaming the word yes. Everyone congratulated the two and everyone hugged the two when they got a chance. Daz wished his boss the best and immediately pledged himself as a second lieutenant to Dabi. Izuku and Shouto both wished their brother the best and gave Toga the classic overprotective brother routine. Everyone laughed because they knew the two brothers wouldn't carry out their very fake threats.
"Well I'm technically a registered minister. So you two wanna tie the knot right now?" Doc Q said. The newly engaged, soon to be married couple nodded excitedly. "Very well. Dabi Midoriya, Himiko Toga, I get the feeling you two don't give much of a shit about vows considering one of you killed a gang and an entire family for the other, so I'll cut right to the chase. I now pronounce you man and wife. You may now kiss the bride."
The two kissed and everyone cheered at the first marriage of the family.
Bang. Dabi and Toga are married. Just incase anyone forgot I put his last name as Midoriya since he renounced the Todorki family name. I hope you dude's enjoyed this chapter. I also hope it stacks up in quality compared to the chapters that came before it. The One Piece references in this chapter are Doc Q from Blackbeard's crew and Daz Bones who served Crocodile. I hope you guys liked their cameos even if they didn't do too much. Idk what I'll do next chapter honestly. Maybe I'll introduce Smoker, but I'm not quite certain. Once again if you guys want me to start on a new story while I'm writing this one please let me know. That's all for now folks and remember Hentai is the one true god.
