"In other news the funerals for the pro heroes Pixie Bob and Tiger will take place on the twenty-fifth of next month, to allow Mandalay to recover from her injuries and attend."
It's been three weeks since Tomoko's revenge against her ex-team. Mandalay was left with brain damage that made it impossible to use her quirk without dealing with excruciating pain. The former pro was also diagnosed with severe PTSD and an irrational fear of cats, primarily leopards. On top of that the pro heroes tasked with guarding the hero team also came under fire. They were accused of saving their own skin by letting the Wild Wild Pussy Cats die. Each hero had their own response to the accusation.
Edgeshot: We were attacked by a team. Three villains for three guards and then former pro hero Ragdoll went after the remainder of the Pussy Cats. My particular opponent, Poison Ivy, was quite skilled and was able to defeat me. The reason she did not kill me is a mystery that I have admittedly lost sleep over.
Ryukyu: My opponent caught me off guard. Such cheap tactics will not work a second time. The reason I was spared is unknown to me, but it will be the boy's undoing.
Ryukyu's response infuriated Neito, who had beaten her in one-on-on combat using only his haki and his combat prowess. He ranted and raved for several hours, until Ibara returned and was able to calm him down.
Gang Orca: My opponent, Mr. Compress, was able to best me in combat fair and square. I believe the reason that he left me alive is that he sees me as a rival of sorts due to our conflict during the Kamino incident.
Compress grinned under his mask at Gang Orca's recognition of his motives. Neito promised to kill Ryukyu the next time they fought, and Ibara was relatively indifferent on the subject. Squeals of delight soon brought smiles to everyone's faces. The reason for this you ask? Izuku was playing with Eri. The young girl liked everyone in the family, but playing with the infamous Joker was her favorite pastime. Momo came as a close second. The primary hypothesis is that the boss and his girlfriend had the most versatile abilities. Combined with their intelligence and Eri had a nigh-unlimited amount of possibilities for playtime. Right now Eri was playing and dancing with a string-made copy of herself. That's right folks Izuku could create string clones now.
But what about the others you ask? The heroes and the vigilantes. What are they doing? Without the League of Villains obsessively going after All Might the remainder of class 1-A that continued to study the ins and outs of heroism had a relatively uneventful time in whichever school they transferred to. Most went to Shiketsu, but others chose different schools like Ketsubutsu Academy. The ones who stopped trying to be heroes led especially uneventful lives. Iida had his legs amputated about a little less than a month ago and was attending a regular private school. The reason for this is that he was actually blacklisted from anything related to heroics. He couldn't even work in the support industry. Instead he's opting to save people a different way, through medicine. He is one of the two members of UA's first year heroics class that hasn't kept in contact with the others. His part in Fumikage Tokoyami's death ensured that. Not even Uraraka was speaking with him anymore. The boy was now an even bigger workaholic than before, and would likely be an alcoholic in the future as well.
The other member of class 1-A that didn't keep in contact with the others was Katsuki Bakugou, now known as the vigilante Fragger. His name is based off of the drag grenade design on his old hero costume. His skill combined with his quirk now allowed him to keep up with pro level fighters including Nejire Hado and Tamaki Amajiki. He wasn't quite at the level of Mirio Togata, but given enough time he could likely reach that level. That is assuming he was given enough time. Izuku hasn't forgotten about him and he hasn't forgotten about Izuku. The only thing preventing him from hunting down the infamous crime lord was the lack of information related to him. Katsuki could only really wait for him to show up and hope that he can get a shot in at him. The vigilante group led by Knuckleduster was still focusing on trigger users and dealers.
Izuku, when not playing with Eri or enjoying time with Momo, was expanding his field of influence. For the most part he had gangs and other criminal organizations under his thumb. Gangs, like The Mutants which, as the name implied, was comprised solely of mutation type quirk users and organizations like The Gifters who dealt in drug deals and prostitution. He had a hand in every criminal industry possible. Drugs, prostitution, contract killing, abductions, you name it he was involved. Now how could he possibly expand his influence even more you ask? The answer is quite simple. Izuku "Joker" Midoriya now had a hand in politics. He's bought out several politicians from councilors and representatives to Supreme Court Justices and members of the Prime Minister's cabinet. With the wealth he's accrued and the fearsome reputation he's gained over the years it wasn't really to hard. Izuku's also gained several members of the police force under his influence as well, from beat cops to detectives. He's currently working with several criminal chemists to improve upon the effects of trigger while minimizing the drawbacks and tells that come with using the quirk steroid.
Now why does he need all of these drug improvements and influence expansions you ask? It's quite simple, he's planning to reshape society itself. By controlling politics, he can make it harder for heroes to do their work, by controlling the police force he can falsify or outright get rid of incriminating evidence, and by improving trigger he can enhance the combat abilities of other gangs and solo criminals for when he makes his big move against heroes. A move so big that the hero worshipping society everyone knows will be shaken to its very core and toppled to the ground. And Izuku will rise from the rubble as the man that will set Japan back on track. Izuku's endgame isn't just the acquisition of power and the restructuring of society.
Izuku's endgame is to be king.
Well here you guys go. Chapter 14 is out. This chapter is admittedly more focused on exposition. The intention was to explain what's going on with the organization and it's influence. I'm hoping to have next chapter focus more on the heroes and the vigilantes. I want to go more indepth with what both of the lawful factions are doing, but it depends on how creative I can be with it. I don't know how many of you are curious about Stain, but he and Spinner will definitely make another appearance before the story ends. I hope you dudes enjoyed, that's all for now just remember Hentai is the one true god.
