Hey guys! I'm loving the number of followers I'm getting for this story. So, I want to say thank you for liking the story; be sure to leave some more reviews as those help and favorite the story. I'm doing this on a Tuesday because I'm stressed. This should come out either on Thanksgiving Day, or if I'm feeling extra generous, I'll write a Thanksgiving special chapter and post this one today or tomorrow. Because I am honestly… going to be alone on Thanksgiving. So bad news for me, good for you guys. Without further ado… enjoy the chapter!
Six months later
Kagura is currently sparring with about nine nomus. Six of them are basis nomus with mere physical quirk augmentations. One had a quirk where he could extend his arms about a hundred meters, two had speed and reflex augmentation quirks. Another had the ability to create eight spastic tentacles from his back, one had a quirk that gave him crab claws and the last one had the ability to shoot needles from his knuckles. Then there were two average powered nomus, one with the ability to camouflage himself and shoot out stone projectiles out of his mouth at one hundred twenty miles per hour. The other had the ability to enhance his strength, power and speed on getting hit then release the damage received in one punch then heal again to normal, but it could only do it seven times. Then the last one is an elite nomu with the ability to generate electricity, split himself up into smaller pieces and be able to teleport between these divided pieces.
The name of that quirk is called division. It allows the user to divide himself into a hundred different pieces, with all those pieces able to teleport between each other, combine together or stay split up. Each piece has the normal speed and strength as the original, but the smaller the pieces, the less likely they are to cooperate with each other and more likely to fight each other. Thus, the user can only divide into a hundred pieces and once a piece dies, it takes a whole year to grow back and that piece loses power by two percent. Then it has an electricity quirk which gives it lightning fast speed and reflexes, manipulation over electricity and can travel through wires or powerlines. The only downside is that the more electricity you use, the slower you are afterwards, most likely your joints won't respond and nerve damage which heals more easily than regular electrical nerve damage.
He beat about five of the nomus and had the elite nomu, the regular nomu that camouflages himself, the extender nomu and the needle shooter. The four nomus had him surrounded; the elite nomu multiplied just enough to cover around the whole perimeter while the main one stood in front, the camouflage one in back, the needle shooter to his right and the extender to the left. All of them had suddenly then fired all of their quirks at once. Kagura then altered his gravity to zero gravity and repulsed himself violently off the ground in time for the electricity to shoot all around him and hit the nomus. The three lesser nomus got shocked because one had metal in his body, the other had his arms in near the center and the last one just got shocked by accident from not being seen.
Kagura then quickly reversed gravity to completely make the elite nomu bow before him, then he made it so Kagura and the nomu's electromagnetism attracted each other. He then flew towards him with a drop kick and as soon as he touched the nomu's head, he made their polarities the same and his gravity strong enough to where a crater was made in the floor. Then he ceased his assault and the nomu was unconscious. All for One stood there to the side smiling and clapping. Then he said merrily:
"My boy, you have done fantastic! You've grown a lot in your gravity manipulation and you're still so affluent with electromagnetism. You only learned and have average proficiencies in Muay Thai, Taekwondo and just know the basics of boxing; now here you are, making masterful uses of many different kinds of kicks. It seems you've been studying and training in martial arts more than I think you do".
"Yes sensei. I have Dr. Fujitora take me for kendo, boxing and bojutsu classes", said Kagura out of breath.
"Wow! Such dedication! You're making me so proud my boy! I think you're ready for your first mission".
"What's the mission sensei?"
"To make some allies. It's a three-part mission and the deadline is in three weeks from now. You must first meet with an all-female gang of teenage delinquents over in Hosu called the Red Succubae. Then you will travel to Kabukicho to meet up with the Tojo crime syndicate family of quirkless kids that train in various forms of combat and are known to be able to give captains in the special forces a run for their money. Then you shall go over to Ueno and find what officials call… The Beast."
"What is the purpose of this mission sensei?"
"You see Kagura… I always had a little brother and a mentor who was like a sister to me. I took care of the little brother and the mentor took care of me. The three of us had an unbreakable bond with each other. I loved my mentor dearly… she was a positive influence… inspiration and kept me sane from becoming a true monster. So, I want you to make a mentor, a brother or sister and a partner. Because everybody needs a family and a way to keep sane…" All for One said solemnly.
"Hai", said Kagura stoically.
"You may start now and you have three weeks from today to have gained three lifelong members of your new family".
"Hai".
"I even got each of their hideout locations for you", said a man with thick glasses, green blue eyes, messy dark hair, standing at six foot even and wiry.
"Thank you, tracker", said Kagura without emotion.
"You're welcome kiddo!" he said happily with a smile.
Kagura then got the notes with each of their addresses on it. Then he went to All for One's office and picked up a black mask with a respirator that look extremely scary. It also had silver lines running down from the eye sockets almost as tears and the mask itself had an angry smile on it. He left the warehouse and once outside, his feet left the ground and he flew off to Hozu.
Thirty minutes later
He had arrivedand landed in front of in a mostly red-light part of Hozu. He then went over to a block full of extremely beautiful women talking amongst themselves. When they saw Kagura, the immediately stared at them. At first, they were confused and glared at him, but when they saw the mask, they walked over to him and tried to see what his intentions were. The one with a cigarette in her two fingers, dyed pink hair and a lot of make up over her grey eyes and just said:
"You lost little boy? You're in a dangerous area you know? You can get hurt if you stay here looking like trouble like that".
"Are you a part of the Red Succubae?" asked Kagura with a voice synthesizer over his voice to make his voice deeper, unrecognizable and scarier.
"Who the hell's asking?" she asked with an intimidating voice.
"I'm a representative of The League of Villains. I came to see about forming an alliance with your organization", he said stoically.
"Get lost brat! We're not taking you to see our queen if it's just you! Who do you think we are!? A daycare!? Your leader is out of his mind if he thinks that we're going to take you guys seriously by sending a little boy in a fucking Galaxy Wars mask to us!" she said angrily.
Just then, the eight something women that stood in front of him dropped to the floor and were kneeling in front of Kagura. Then Kagura merely put his hands around the pink haired woman's neck and the woman felt an unbelievable pressure around her neck. She started choking and her friends were staring at the boy in fear. Because his fingers weren't around her neck, but yet she is still choking. She then clawed the boys face but her hands couldn't get near her mask. She then said frantically:
"Okay okay! Let go of me kid! You proved your point! Just don't kill me!"
He released them and they all got up quickly and the pink haired one just said:
"Follow me."
They walked down the block to a huge soccer arena that was abandoned. She then came across two guards who approached her and said:
"Who's the boy?"
"He's a rep from The League", she said fearfully.
"They are seriously sending a kid-
"That kid just pinned me, seven of my girls down and I couldn't touch him with my enhanced strength. He's good alright."
"If you say so Lana", said the gate guard with dyed blue hair.
They then got cleared and went through the stands. From there they say women of all kinds of backgrounds, dress, social scale in the stands. They just glared at Kagura in suspicion while they made their way up to the announcers' box. Once there she did a special knock that composed of three, two, one, one, three and nine fast paced knocks. A young and authoritative voice yelled softly:
"Come in!"
They arrived in the announcers' box and saw a beautiful teenage girl with a large bust for someone her age looking down at her paper work. She looked up and revealed striking ocean blue eyes, blue hair, an angel's face that had a look of seriousness and suspicion on it. She then said authoritatively:
"Who is this boy standing before me Lana?"
"He is our guy from The League of Villains", she said fearfully.
"He's just a kid in a scary mask!" she said irritated.
"You look young yourself", Kagura said stoically.
"I earned my place through being strong kid. Now what is your name?"
"Carnage".
"Well, Carnage. Why don't you go on back to your leader and send over someone older and worth my time?" she said condescendingly.
"I happen to be a trusted member of All for One's stead. And I have come to make friends with you and your organization. Nothing more."
"Friends? Haha! You want to be our friends!? That's very cute kid, but I'm not making deals, going through or talking to anyone unless their eighteen or over."
"What can I do to prove how capable I am?"
"Nothing! I already know you can't possible step up to be my equal!"
"Me… be your equal? I think you mean… you, be my equal".
"You're saying I'm not at your level kid!?" she said dangerously as the room got colder.
"Not even close".
"Come with me kid! We're going to the battle arena and we'll fight this out!"
"Whatever you wish. But if I win, we will be allies and we will negotiate an alliance."
"And if I win?"
"Then my sensei may grant you a fine quirk to compliment your ice quirk".
"And I get to meet a real rep of The League of Villains to do the treaty with".
"Very well".
They then walked over to the arena. It was covered in fake grass and was specifically used as a training ground by the gang. She then walked to the other side of the field while Kagura stayed at one end. Lana got in the middle of the two while the women on the stands surrounded the two of them. Lana then announced:
"Alright everyone, this is a match between a rep from The League of Villains and Esdeath in order for him to gain her respect. The match rules are simple, any quirk is allowed, anyone that lands in the stands is out, flying is allowed but must be seen by the crowd and underhanded tactics are allowed. Do you both agree to these terms".
They both nodded and with that Lana started the match with a:
"Hajime!"
Esdeath then tightened her core and let loose a huge glacier from her body and smirked and thought that was the end of the fight. But then to her horror, she saw it not going anywhere, but instead shattering into little pieces as if there was a rock barrier there. Then to more of her horror the ice was receding away and the unknown barrier was going towards her. She then used her ice to travel upward, but was met with a stern kick to her chin. She immediately saw dark spots in her vision and let loose ice spikes from her body in order to impale her attacker.
She then went up to the air and dropped down hard with a thud, then back up to meet Kagura's heel to her head which was harder then she thought the force would be from a little boy. Kagura then backed away and allowed her to get up. She then glared at him and he said:
"Would you like to stop now? I really don't like hitting pretty girls if I don't have to", he said stoically.
She blushed a bit and said: "of course not! I'm just getting warmed up!"
"Well, you're not going to warm up anytime soon".
He then took a track start and in a blink of an eye he superman punched her in the stomach. She coughed up some blood and flew back. But then she started being drawn towards him by an unforeseen force and he kicked her in the face with his shin right in her face. She then flew back while seeing stars. She got a grip over herself and with full power sent a humongous glacier right at him. He then crushed it by flicking his hand downward and kept it low. It suddenly got completely smashed into the ground, shattering into large ice boulders. Esdeath tried looking for the masked boy and she turned around to find him sending her flying upwards. They then flew so high they could barely be seen by the naked eye. She then stopped and they came crashing down to the ground at a fast pace. He was behind her and had his hands gripping her hips. She then froze looking shocked and thought to herself:
'He knows my pressure points that trigger my quirk! Only members of my inner circle could know about that, unless-
She then remembered she showed that she tightened her core only a smidge to his eyes. She then thought again:
'Crap! He figured it out just on seeing me initiate me activating my quirk once!? I have to stop the fight, I can't win with him knowing my secret weakness'.
"I give up kid! You win! Take me down and land me safely I concede the fight!"
He then, just before they hit the ground head first, faced the round parallel and curved to where they were perpendicular to the ground and he gently landed her safely on to the ground. She then gave the Lana the sign that she submitted defeat and the whole crowd gasped and quickly they all hopped out of the stands and surrounded Kagura. He just passively looked at them as they glared at him. Esdeath then said:
"How did you know my quirk is triggered by certain pressure points in my body".
"I formed a hypothesis based on hearing of you fighting and seeing you use your quirk for myself. I deduced that you somehow produce colder, harder to break ice in the center of the glaciers by where your abdomen is. Then I confirmed this based on feeling them, seeing steam rise off of them and feeling the colder temperature from being around them. Then because of my training, I found the only pressure points that could be by your abdomen and took some educated guesses to ultimately find out which ones do so", he said stoically.
"You're… really smart", she said looking amazed.
"But how were you able to levitate, fly and use force without touching people?" asked one of the girls with strawberry colored hair.
"My quirk allows me to utilize the four natural forces of nature and manipulate them. Electromagnetism and gravity are one of them and if I overuse them, I get hand cramps".
"Okay. You've earned my respect and my alliance. Now what do you want from us and what will you give us?"
"My leader asks for your support in any raids and crimes, ten percent of the monthly profits you make, some of your girls to serve in our league, your best members train and/or apprentice our worst members. Then for you to step down as queen and become a part of The League-
"Hold on! Me… step down as queen? After I worked so hard for this position just to join you guys!?"
"Yes. You are strong and we require you to be with us. You may still act as the leader or be senior, but officially, you have to back down as queen".
"Fine. What else?"
"Then as a personal request from myself, you will allow for me to take one of your younger members in."
"Why do we have to give you one of our younger members?" she asked skeptically.
"All will be revealed once I find the one."
"Very well. Now what will you guys give us?"
"We will help you secure your place in the underworld, protect your territories, engage in any territory wars to gain you more territory in general, provide you personally with training from the very best, take down any of your major contenders, provide your gang with job opportunities. This includes: certain hits on pro heroes or our enemies in general, extortion, collect tax or payments from those we protect (which you get a half of the amount if you do), heists, prison break outs and framing people."
"Okay. What else?" she said expectantly.
"We will guarantee you with other allies and our connections, protect your more vulnerable girls and train them to become able to defend themselves and the last thing is to annihilate your number one enemy and crush your number one competitor in the all girls gang."
"Sounds like we have nothing to lose by joining you. But why are you being so generous towards us?" she asked softly.
"Because All for One, values your mission to protect women and have the underworld be a safer and better place. Though our goals our different, they are still very good goals to have and he hopes by you joining us, the two of us can forge a better tomorrow for everyone", he said with his stoic voice taking a kinder tone to it.
Esdeath just had a light blush on her face at the sincerity of his words all the girls awed at his sweetness which made her blush more because she thought they were awing at her blushing. She then said shyly:
"I'll agree to these terms. How young do you want this girl of yours to be?"
"At most twelve, at least six."
"Very well. Bring out the kids for Carnage-san!" she said going back to her authoritarian voice.
Some girls nodded and they all rounded up the girls. In a matter of twenty minute about fifty girls aged twelve to six stood before him. They were all excited at being guaranteed as possible candidates for an important cause. So, many of the younger ones tried to look as sweet as possible, the cute ones as cute as possible and the older ones to seem competent and strong. But as Kagura looked at all of them, he found none of them interesting. Just as he was about to ask girls aged up to fourteen to five, he then saw an extremely beautiful young girl about his age scowling at him.
She has long straight black hair, intelligent, but cold blue oval eyes, a tiny frame, a surprisingly girly, but pretty face and in a white jacket with a red shirt and grey pants that looked comfortable, but tight on her. She saw he was looking at her and glared daggers at him. Intrigued, Kagura walked over to her; the girls and women had seen this and only looked at him interest as they tried to figure out what was he looking at. They then saw it was the scowling girls and they cleared away for him to make his way towards her. They then stared at each other, but the silence was broken when he said unemotional:
"What's your name?"
"Kimura. And yes, I know you want my first name, but I won't tell you because I don't want to be your wife or whatever", she said coldly.
"You misunderstand, I want-"
"I don't care! I'm not leaving my sisters! If you want me that badly then prove to me your strength".
"How would like me to do that Kimura-san?" he said ignoring the comment about the mask.
"Defeat me in two out of three battles that I pick. One will be in fists, another in weapons and the last with our quirks. If you beat me in two of those battles, then maybe I'll consider your offer".
"Very well."
They then got in the center of the arena where Lana announced the rules, but for this battle made the range simpler. She then commenced the match and the two had quickly gone at it. Kimura clearly had more martial arts experience, but Kagura had naturally more power behind his blows, even without his quirk. The fight had ended three minutes in of sparring because Kimura had punched too far out and then Kagura, pulled her arm towards her, grabbed her by the head and gave her a flying left knee. She then hit the floor and stayed down for ten whole seconds which at that point she was timed out.
The second fight, they fought with swords. Kagura put up a good fight, but Kimura's expert skill in kendo, ended up defeating him by disarming him with a light cut to his hand and then pointing the blade up to his throat. That fight had lasted a minute overall. They then went back to the center after a woman in a nurse's outfit used a regeneration quirk to heal his wound. Kimura then said seriously:
"I know that I have no point in defeating you in this round, but I'm still going to give it my all and try and beat you Carnage. And then to make it even with you, I shall tell you my quirk."
"I admire that and I shall allow that", he said impressed with her honor and modesty.
"My quirk is martial arts. This allows me to go into a mode where I gain knowledge of every possible martial arts there is. This goes from sword techniques, to knives, to fists, to bo staffs and much more. Although the downside is that I get major headaches and experience confusion if I use it too long. I can get confused about the year, where I am, how old I am and who I am. Now then, let's begin".
With that, Lana initiated the fight. Kimura went in for one singular, horizontal slash with her sword, but it got deflected away. Realizing he's using electromagnetism, she got rid of her sword and opted for her fists, but those bounced away from him too. He then did a tornado kick to her face which she caught, but the electromagnetism made her fly away. But she didn't go that far. Then for the next fifteen minutes she tried to hit him and got bounced away from him. Then five more minutes in, she thought about something. She took out a throwing knife, she then threw one towards his far-right side, which got deflected off but at the same time she threw a roundhouse kick at his left side. He then turned around to see a kick land right in his jaw. He then flew off the ground for a bit and on the inside of Kagura's mask, he looked at her in horror and he thought to himself in surprise:
'She just figured out a blind spot'.
"Ha! So, you can deflect attacks, but you can't deflect two at the same time".
Kagura didn't say anything, he just used gravity to slow his movements while he used electromagnetism to propel himself flying his knee up to her face. She then bent backwards as to not be hit by the knee and pulled him by his feet down to the ground, where she proceeded to use Jiu Jitsu and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. She nearly had him in an arm bar, but he repelled her off, pointed at her flying form and flicked his hand down to where she then had to tap out. He then walked over to her form and rose her up to where she was standing. Then he just grabbed her arms while she blushed and thought to herself:
'What is he doing? Is he going to kill me for figuring out his weakness? Will he kidnap me? Oh just let this end'.
"Please… "he said seriously.
Then all the girls who didn't hear or see what happened charged in and surrounded him as they thought he was going to kill her. Even Esdeath stood at attention and clung to his every movement with her eyes.
"Be my sister, and let me make you powerful beyond your wildest dreams", he said sweetly.
She then looked frozen for a moment then she looked dumbstruck with her face bright red like a tomato and she said dumbly: "EH!?"
Then the whole gang started chuckling and laughing at how innocent and cute the boy in the mask really was. Kimura then shook her head and exclaimed:
"No way! Just because you beat me, doesn't mean squat. You can't even show me your face! How can I-
Then without warning he released the latches off of his mask with a push of a button and the respirator ceased to stop working. Then he slowly took off his mask and the women and girls looked on with curiosity and wonder as he took off his mask. Kimura then saw nice pale skin, then small lips, a small roman nose and then she saw his beautiful emerald green eyes and mop of black spiky hair with a bit of a reddish tint to it. She then noticed his cold and emotionless expression while the girls were gushing at how cute he looked. Esdeath then had a light blush on her face at imagining him at her age and just thought about how handsome he would be. He then said still emotionless but with his voice sounding childlike and normal then altered:
"Now are you okay with being my family?"
"Yes", she said with a blush while thinking to herself: 'he's so handsome'.
"Good. Now do you mind telling me how old you are, your birthday and name, please?" he asked sincerely while still being emotionless.
"Aoi. I'm eight and my birthday was July thirtieth. Now what's your real name, age and birthday?"
"Kagura Fujitora. I'm also eight, but I was born on June first."
"Oh", she said thoughtfully".
"Now come, you have to meet sensei and your new foster parent."
"Okay, but let me say goodbye first."
"Sure", he said stoically.
He then left towards Esdeath while putting back on his mask while the girls and women were telling him to keep his handsome and cute face exposed. Esdeath especially wanted to yell at him: "leave the mask off! You're so f###ing cute, you don't even need that mask!" But she held her tongue as she wanted to remain professional with him. She then managed to cough out:
"When shall The Rapist Club and The Virgins of The New Age be wiped out?"
"In fact-
He snapped his fingers and out appeared through a black portal the five councilmen of the rapist club, the co-leader, leader and the five founders of The Rapist Club and the three heads and founders of The Virgins of The New Age.
"I give you the honors of killing them", he said with his mask fully on.
She smiled sadistically and then she walked up to each of them and turned them into frozen ice cubes. They all ended up dying of the hypothermia. The ladies then clapped as Esdeath smiled victoriously and then turned to Kagura with a proud smile and said:
"So, when did you say we start this alliance again?"
"Take care of your new-found assets first, wipe up the rest of The Rapist Club and then we'll meet in three weeks from tomorrow with All for One present. Sound good?"
"Yes!"
"Good. I'll send a guy over here to pick you up. Until we meet again, Esdeath."
Aoi then came back and with that, Kagura had flown off with her back to the warehouse. Sensei had then met with her briefly. He was beyond impressed with her as he saw their fights and Dr. Fujitora had taken quite a liking to her. The day had then ended and since it was a Friday, Kagura had all weekend to gather up the last two people on his list. He then passed out on his bed anticipating tomorrow with the Tojo crime family.
Alright! So… kind of a long one, I know. I literally woke up at two thirty in the morning; so, I spent about three hours just typing because my suite mate is asleep and I'm in no way waking him up with my music. I'll wait until it's at least eight o' clock so he can get a good night's rest. Lord knows I need proper sleep without nightmares, loud music waking me up, my housemate going bonkers or loud strange noises waking me up period. Expect a chapter to come out tomorrow for Thanksgiving. I'll be stuck at home all day long; so, if you're only, having a crappy Thanksgiving or just want entertainment, my story will be up there at… I want to say… four in the afternoon. I don't know, but some time around then. Alright guys, peace!
