Summary: Another pet project preview… and something that might actually help me write it. Now there is a certain Bat themed hero who doesn't have enough crossovers with My Hero Academia. One of my projects stars him and Izuku, as I delve into the world of one whose ultimate dream is to be like his idol and another who simply does what no one else can. This is a preview into a story called 'Spirit of Vengeance'. Looking back on it now, I ripped off the nickname from Ghost Rider but there was a reason that I unknowingly did so. You see the OC I used as my Batman is quirkless but he does have powers. He got them from an OC who happens to be a demon. Like Bruce Wayne, my OC travels for a bit, uses his wealth/ trust fund to learn and train his mind, body and soul to be that of a warrior as well as crime fighter. So without further ado, here's a sneak peek at a stakeout by my OC Batman. Note, this takes place during the 10 month training period Izuku is in with All Might.
May 20XX
Tokyo, Japan
It was a quite uneventful night in Tokyo. There were businessmen and government officials putting in overtime. Then you had your other citizens simply taking a night stroll whether it be with their loved ones or by themselves. And of course there were those who just enjoyed the night life of Tokyo.
No person or group enjoyed it more than those belonging to the Yakuza. The criminal organization still thrived worldwide despite the fact licensed heroes and law enforcement had done a great deal of damage over the years. Nevertheless, their business was still moving steadily along and when the chips were down and the heat was on… they took extreme measures to make sure they survived. One famous case was the Oshiro Clan one fateful night in July fourteen years ago. One of its members was a lawyer who prosecuted several members of the Yakuza's Musutafu branch which angered the upper echelon members of the organization. In retaliation, the entire Oshiro Clan was massacred with the only survivors being a ten year old and his butler. The case that involved their members was dismissed but the relief soon turned to anger. Those that were to be prosecuted ended up losing a finger or two as a result of their negligence and incompetence.
Past matters and agendas aside, the Yakuza were gearing up for a war with the heroes in the future. They had apparently found a powerful connection in the criminal underworld whose sole goal was All Might's downfall. The Yakuza were smart enough to know that if All Might fell, chances were the other heroes wouldn't have the confidence and gusto to go forward with their duties. Which meant less heat from them and Law Enforcement didn't stand a chance in the long run.
As a result of their new partnership with this connection, the Yakuza had sent roughly 20 grunts along with 15 officer type personnel to a warehouse to inspect a shipment of special weapons, drugs and of course money. The warehouse was four stories tall, a little unusual to the average person. But the average person wouldn't be curious enough to go check out this warehouse, especially at nighttime.
Currently all 35 men were spread across the four floors while unbeknownst to them a dark, shadowy figure was performing recon from a distance.
Crouching down on a ledge of an apartment complex, the figure's glowing white eyes looked through the zoom lenses inside his cowl. He was currently deducing an approach to systematically take out most of the Yakuza members while leaving a few conscious or alive enough to tell him what he needed to know.
He had been waiting a long time for this. Ever since the Sludge villain incident, the young man had been laying low. He was biding his time as he slowly built himself a small arsenal while also coming up with a name for his crime fighting persona. It didn't take long as the young man known as Tamotsu Oshiro had made the necessary upgrades and adjustments, readying himself for his true debut. From this night forward, the criminal underworld would truly know the meaning of fear.
Standing tall at 6'3", the last of the Oshiro clan had the look of a true demon of the night… a true spirit of vengeance. He wore the iconic Tri-weave titanium plated armor from the game Arkham Knight. However there were noticeable changes and adjustments to the suit as a whole.
The black cowl was made with a combination of nanotech cloth and enhanced, fused metals which gave Tamotsu not only maximum efficiency in combat but an easy way to remove his mask when back in the cave. The cowl completely covered not just the top half of his face but it also covered his mouth as well. The ears were half a foot in length but they were there for more than just a menacing appearance. The ears had imbued within them highly encrypted communicators that acted as a two way radio.
His utility belt was gold and held roughly 12 armored compartments for his gadgets and tools. One of these twelve compartments was the oval shaped buckle with a different variation of the Bat symbol that wasn't on the chest piece.
Other than the previously adjustments, the other major changes were to the torso and gauntlets. The upper back part of the torso had two small compartments on either side of the spine that contained collapsible escrima sticks which could use to form a staff when used. In addition to that, there was protective plating on the lower back in the scenario any attacks were focused to cripple him.
The gauntlets were overhauled to not only feature a small, touchscreen interface but electric shock gloves. The process of accounting for the amount of electricity found in tasers in addition to featuring computer equipment was a huge gamble but it paid off. Once the testing had been done, the last touches that needed to be added was the paint job.
The gloves, cape, boots, cowl and gauntlets were all colored onyx black while the belt was gold and the suit itself was steel grey.
With his extremely long cape flapping in the wind, Tamotsu stood tall ready to make his move. Gone was the orphan of the Oshiro clan… now he was Batman, Japan's newest vigilante.
A/N: Unfortunately this will be overhauled before I can get more accurate details of describing the Batsuit. Plus, with my other projects begging for attention I'm still in the beginning phase of putting this story together. I'm putting my money on the idea that I could get as far as the USJ incident before hitting a wall for more creativity.
